 Anyone Know where I can find the 5th upgrade ? I've completed mostly every missions and side missions and still have the 4th upgrade.

[Zarcanada]

Have you checked all the stores in game? AND are sure you didn't miss it during the campaign?

[Nab20]

I checked all the stores and how could I know if I missed it during a mission if I don't even know its location.

[Etragorn]

Anyone have any more info on this? I also only got up to the Level IV upgrade.

Does anyone have a list of the locations on where the Upgrades can be found/purchased?

You probably missed it, would be nice if they appeared in shops if you miss them, but they don't.
It's only mag upgrade though, no biggie really.

I totally missed this on the Wiki. Thanks.

Honestly, I don't see how I could have missed any of them. I could have sworn I remember getting each one of those upgrades.

[numark]

Unfortunately I don't think the wiki is completely up to date or accurate. It lists Batarian State Arms as having the Assault rifle Mag upgrades, but I have never seen any there. I'm also currently stuck at Assault Rifle Magazine upgrade IV and extended barrel IV. No idea where to get the 5th one or even if you can in a 1st playthrough.

Well, not really sure what you want people to to tell you - we can give you an idea about where the Magazine upgrades appear but that info isn't much use if you can't remember where you picked up the ones you have.

Basically, theres a one to buy straight off (Kassa).

There's a one on Menae.

There's a one on the Koris mission.

There's a one on Gellix.

There's a one in the BSA shop at some point.

If you haven't gotten one from one of those locations then there's your answer.

I can't recall if everything in the wiki is right, but it is pretty close.

Keep in mind that if it lists a store as having a mod it may not be unlocked until you do a certain mission or even side quest.

I think I have a little more light to shed on this now. Finally got Assault Rifle Magazine Upgrade V and Extended Barrel V on a 1st playthrough.

There's probably more to it than this but sometime after finishing Priority:Rannoch I was at level III for both the Magazine and Extended Barrel upgrades. I had a ton of credits so I bought just about every weapon upgrade I could find on the Citadel.

I check back at Batarian State Arms (even though I had cleaned it out earlier buying everything except the Terminus Armor) and lo' and behold there is Assault Rifle Magazine Upgrade IV and Assault Rifle Extended Barrel IV! They ONLY appeared after I had bought out every other weapon part upgrade from other stores on the Citadel.

After that I had no problem getting the last Magazine upgrade V from Arrae: Ex-Cerberus Scientists and the last Extended Barrel V from Priority:Thessia.

What I think happened in my previous playthrough was that I never got the level IV upgrades to show up at Batarian State Arms (by buying everything out on the Citadel after Priority:Rannoch). So when I did Arrae: Ex-Cerberus Scientists and Priority Thessia, that's where I got the level IV upgrades, and once those missions were done, there were no more missions left to get more upgrades and no place either to buy them.

There might be more to it than that but if I find out anything else I'll bump this thread. Hope that helps ppl.

You'll have to forgive the slight necro here, but this is, oddly enough, exactly the situation I've hit on my current playthrough.

Just finished the Rannoch arc, having long since done Gellix, but unfortunately I have my AR Magazine IV and acquired it on Koris' mission (III on Gellix, I on Menae and IIRC II from Kassa). So if things have gone the way you say, I've permanently cut myself off from the AR Mag V.... simply by playing the game. You'd have thought a bug like that would have stood out in QC'ing.

As it is, I just about lack the credits to buy up all the available mods in the citadel at the moment, but I'm just about to pick up the Rings of Silune or whatever they're called, so that should provide me with just enough to test out the option of simply buying all the mods on the citadel. Why on earth I'd need to do this just to get a completely unrelated mod is totally beyond me.

The only thing I can assume is that, like the Pistol Magazine V and Choke Mod V, they only become available after doing a given Priority mission... the next being Priority: Thessia, which in this run is getting done after Leviathan. I really wish they'd worked out a more sensible way of picking up mods - having to metagame just to pick stuff up is normally a sign that whatever the game design was you've adopted is either overcomplicated or poorly implemented.

According to the Wiki, I was supposed to pick up the 5th one at the BSA shop.

Hmmm, to be honest I seriously doubt that any mod shows up because you bought out other stores.

More likely it shows up if you complete a mission or sidequest. Which is how basically every other mod or piece of equipment works.

I hardly ever buy this mod, but maybe I will take a look at my game and see.

As do I - I haven't seen this kind of behaviour from any other mods.

My thoughts exactly - the Shredder V mod is another mod that should have appeared in a shop by now (as I picked up IV on Koris's mission).

Like I say, I was waiting for the Pistol Magazine V and Choke V to appear and they only came into the Elkoss store on completing Priority: Rannoch. Though its rather infuriating to make it so that you're waiting until you've completed a given mission just so you can buy a specific mod.

I'm not sure whether to do Thessia or Leviathan first... Leviathan seems to slot well into taking place straight after Priority: Rannoch as its the first chance for some breathing space shep has for a while, and at the same time, the Reaper alludes to stuff that could justifiably lead into Leviathan as part of the Narrative. IIRC Thessia doesn't really leave it at a point where it would feel right for Shep to go off exploring.

Yeah I think that is sort of annoying.  In ME1 and ME2 things were mostly unlocked when you got the hub world.

Waiting for the Smart Choke has got me before too, since that is a mod I almost always try to max.

My problem with figuring this out is that I tend to do a bunch of sidequests in lumps after Priority missions, so it might be hard for me to figure out where this AR extended clip really comes from.

[capn233]

Ok here is something to add.

I just went to the Citadel after finishing Ardat-Yakshi Monastery and I proceeded to buy AR Mag III from Kassa Fabrication, and then when I dropped by Batarian State Arms AR Mag IV was available. This was without buying out any store.

Of note, I have not even met with the Quarians yet, although I have done every mission and sidequest that you are able to do prior to the Rannoch arc. At the least this means that the AR Mag upgrade at BSA is not unlocked by anything that you do on Rannoch, and also isn't the result of later missions or sidequests.

If it is simply unlocked by buying the other upgrade (from Kassa) that would be pretty funny. That is also how a lot of the upgrades work that appear in multiple stores... but I can't imagine that is actually the case since people where having trouble finding it.  It must have another requirement somewhere.

edit: oh and keep in mind that the way the wiki lists them is sort of odd in that they will have (2) after a store... that does not mean that the store will have quantity of 2 upgrades possible, but rather that it is the second store to get the upgrade, after you have bought an earlier one from the other store on the list.

In any event, if we were to compare side quest completion, I bet we could figure this out.

That is... illuminating, but extremely frustrating. Cheers for the info.

I did the whole Rannoch Arc last weekend, as well as the N7: Cerberus Fighter Base and Lesuss missions. Prior to that, I did the Gellix mission, and prior to that, all missions possible to do up to and including Priority: Citadel II.

Currently the only active missions I have on my journal are a bunch of Fedex quests (IIRC the prothean orb, fossil, rings, Jamming kit from Rannoch, obelisk and ciphers... to which I have all the items ready to deliver barring the ciphers), Leviathan, and Priority: Citadel III (leading to Priority: Thessia). Every other mission that can be unlocked at that stage I have done.

I have a feeling that if you buy the Kassa AR Mag mod too early (I purchased it straight after From Ashes, i.e. one mission after Menae), then it screws up this fragile unlocking system Bioware have developed. The other three mods I have for that clip are from the various missions that they appear on, and I can say without any doubt that there is no AR Mag upgrade in the BSA shop at the moment.... I would have purchased it by now. I wonder if it's tied to the purchase of another specific mod? Or an armour suit? There's still a ton of things to buy at the moment because I wouldn't have any use for them.

It would be extremely useful if one of the mods could shed some light on this.

What's the betting I'm going to have to break out the gibbed editor again....

I wouldn't put it past them that a package delivery could in fact be an unlock.  Hanar Diplomat isn't really one, but is tied to the HK gauntlests.

I wonder if the Volus Ambassador mission (Zaeed's) unlocks something (I already did that one too).

Interesting... well, I'll have a whip around and see whether turning all these fedex things in results in something.

I'm not really confident at will - in order to do some testing last time, I quickly turned all the quests in barring the rings in order to generate enough cash to buy all the mods, and it wasn't there afterwards. I think I'll know more once its just ciphers, Thessia and Leviathan in my journal.

If the Zaeed mission unlocked something, I didn't see it. Same goes for the weird conrad verner quest (beyond the amusing 1-point war asset).

You get 5 pts for Conrad's Quest if you completed Asari Writings and had the Elkoss Combine license in ME1.

I will mess around with this later today and see if I can figure something out.

Did you do Krogan Dying Message or Asari Widow?

Yeah, I figured that was needed when Conrad mentions something about an Elkoss license. The save game I'd imported across back from ME1 came from a time when I didn't buy the license to maximise the chances of my beloved Armax Predator M suit appearing in that creepy guy's shop in the normandy.... serves me right for metagaming, I suppose

Did you do Krogan Dying Message or Asari Widow?

Done both. From what I understand from the Prima guide, I've done everything available - the only missions I haven't done are Priorities Thessia, Horizon, Cerberus Headquarters, Earth, and Leviathan and N7: Comms Hub. And the Ciphers quest.

Everything except the Reaper Code fedex I completed by finding the doodad... Reaper Code I completed by buying it from the shop cos I was missed it in the cubeland.

[capn233]

Ok I went and messed around.

The Batarian Codes sidequests unlocked the AR Magazine upgrade at Batarian State Arms.

If you guys have done that one already there must be some sort of bug.

Cheers for the effort.

Yeah, long since did that quest.

I hate stuff like this - if the developers want to tie a mod to the a quest, why don't they just damn well give you the thing in the quest? Why mess around with unlocking stuff at stores? Gah!

I'm actually beginning to question whether I actually picked up all the mods in the missions - my Particle Rifle was definitely initially red, then gold, then green, now is blue... I definitely picked up a mod at kassa, then one on Menae, then Gellix, then Koris's mission.... damn it.

The weird thing is, this is my third playthrough and I don't ever remember that quest unlocking anything - did you check the files for that information, or was it just trial and error? I'm wondering whether doing the Batarian Codes mission is just one of several criteria to meet.

I went back through my saves in the current game looking for the point at which it was available.  Interestingly it was right in between two saves where I didn't actually do any real missions.  So I started doing the side quests that were accomplished in between the two saves sequentially to see which would unlock it.  It showed up after I "recruited" Balak.

I didn't test it to see what would happen if I shot him though.  But in my actual game I used Intimidate, and for this I used Charm.
