BUY VETERAN PACKS FOR UNCOMMON GEAR, SPECTRE PACKS FOR COMMON.

Yeh.. no. Quick look at your manifest shows you haven't even maxed out the initial gear and have next to none of the new gear items (which are the big issue here) so uhm, your 'advice' is about as useful as a chocolate teapot i'm afraid.


Ah, thank you. I needed a good laugh :lol:


I'm not farming gold so I don't have the credits to have maxed out my rare gear yet. And some of it wasn't added to the table until less than a week ago. I buy one SP after every two silver matches and get a rare gear card approximately once per three. That's what I said in my next post. And my basis IS my manifest, which is rounding out at a nice pace. 

PS - your manifest looks roughly like mine. 

PPS - http://social.biowar...544143#13307401. Your gear wasn't dropping until the 24th of July in SPs or PSPs anyway.

I'm not farming gold either, i'm playing gold because anything less than that is completely trivial for me.

Your manifest is irrelevant because the issue is that AFTER you've maxed out the initial rare gears then no gears drop because the new ones are barely dropping at all. You cannot judge whether that is the case because you haven't maxed out your initial gears yet to see nor do you have a lot of unlocks of the new gear either.

Except I have maxed rare pre-earth gears and you have not. Since I have maxed those I have had nothing but equipment in packs, which is the issue people here are complaining about.

Oh really?

"Fix for some uncommon gear not showing up in Spectre + Spectre Premium packs"

Notice that states UNCOMMON, not rare, thus rare drops was dropping before the 24th of July.

It's pretty crazy that gears are harder to come by than weapons and characters other than URs. It seems ever since they made Ammo 3's into UC's, gears are hard to come by.


Actually, for me, since the Earth DLC dropped, I've gotten as many URs as rare gear. Gotten 12 rare gear unlocks, while my Harrier went from I to III, Typhoon got II, two ranks on the Talon (♥ Talon), two on the Saber, and gained a level on the Indra, Scorpion, and Black Widow.

Something's weird about that drop rate, seriously. Don't call me lucky, either (except maybe about the Talon), because I've bought a LOT of packs. I didn't have much in the way of level IV consumables until I started buying up crap after Earth dropped.

Saying that you actually have a lot of the new gold gear too. Out of interest, what packs do you buy?

I maxxed out the uncommons just by buying a lot of veteran packs, the SP and PSP packs give out uncommons less often than the ultra rare.

Besides, you get 5 veteran packs for the price of a PSP.


I maxed out my medigel, ops survival, rockets, and extra ammo from buying veteran packs... and if you look at my manifest, I have enough upgraded uncommon gears to have options, but it is an extremely low frequency item... I'd say one out of six to eight veteran packs.

same here. All URs maxed, even the new ones from Earth and the week before (Typhoon & PR) - still not even have some of the new gear at lvl 1. Especially the uncommon gear should be renamed to "unattainable"...


Me too. All URs maxed. Still missing lots of the new gear. Something definitely amiss. :huh:

My new gear are stuck at level 1 or 2. I gave up on buying PSP and SPs because I'm just wasting a lot of my time and money. I'll just save credits now (as hard as it is to not spend) until the next thing is released to the manifest.

I only have 3.5 million saved up and that's taken me nearly two weeks.

I don't seem to have this problem. Now that I have the other card types maxed (weapon mods, weapons and characters in exactly this order), gear drops constantly. Of both DLCs.

If that helps, I'm buying spectre packs, and I manually updated Mass Effect 3 after someone did mention that this might help.

You're on PC, so unfortunately the option to "update ME3" doesn't work for PS3 or Xbox users.

In your manifest:
Uncommon Earth DLC gear, you have 16/20 drops.
Rare Earth DLC gear: you have only 9/35 drops.

So the so-called "Rare" gear that should be dropping in Spectre Packs simply is not -- even for you. Again, we aren't talking about previous DLC gear, as that all dropped what they were classified at (Rare). There was never a post about previous DLC gear dropping like the golden ticket from Willy Wonka. Just the Earth DLC. (Thermal Clip Storage, Adaptive War Amp, Engineering Kit, Densified Ammunition, Combatives Upgrade, Martial Biotic Amp, Juggernaut Shield, Shock Trooper Upgrade, Guerrilla Upgrade, Omni Capacitors, Barrage Upgrade)

I looked at the rest of your manifest and feel safe in saying that at this rate, you will max out your UR weapons to X before you level all of your Earth DLC gear. That is, unless Bioware fixes the drop rate for the so-called "Uncommon" and "Rare" Earth DLC gear.

You get guaranteed uncommon/rare weapons and characters, that HAS nothing to do with gear, gear drops in the same way as weapons and characters would if they weren't guaranteed.


I want to be nice but there are too many posters in here with "theories" who don't know what they are talking about.  If you don't have all your CC, rare weapons, mods, and rare rebellion Gear maxed please stop posting.  People keep posting that they get tons of gear and you look at there Manifest and they don't have everything maxed and have virtually no earth gear and no IV Ammo.

The drop rate on Earth gear is broken.  The people that have even a decent amount of Earth gear all have 200+ total level IV consumables.  That's hundreds of PSP/SP's valued at tens of million credits.  There are too many manifests with maxed UR's that aren't even close to maxing the Earth gear.

Uncommon gear has a lower drop rate than UR's, respec cards, and level III ammo in SP's and Vet packs

Rare Earth gear has a lower drop rate than UR's in SP/PSP.




says the guy that knows **** about gear drops

Gear drops happen mostly in consumable slots, not in the guaranteed slots of PSP/SP/VET packs.

Ever got a Rare weapon drop in a recruit pack? NO? then sorry but yes is possible BUT highly unlikely.

THAT is why Gear drops are so ****ing rare, because there is NO guarantee to get gear.

Getting your Uncommon weapons/mods/characters maxed? go buy vet packs as you are guaranteed to get one of them. (or better)

Getting your Rare weapons/mods/characters maxed? Go and buy SP/PSP packs as you are guaranteed to get them as well.

Getting your Gear maxed? sorry but there is NO pack with a guaranteed gear slot, you have to rely on RNG to get gear, there is no increased chance to get uncommon gear from ANY pack, but to your luck there seems to be an increased chance to get Rare gear from SP and PSP packs, but this isn't much better than the Ultra Rare chance.

Maxing your Ultra Rares? PSP and SP packs have an increased drop rate for them, so in theory is easier to max them than gear.

Also your manifest is **** evidence, you have most of your crap maxed because you play a ton, I bet I invest less than 5% of the time you do (i can safely say I invest 3 hours a week tops), and I have the only gear I care about (and use) maxed already (within 48 hours of its introduction), so troll me more.


if you wanted gear all you had to do was spam Vet packs, but with the introduction of level 3 equipment as uncommon (who was the wize guy?) that no longer works as you will get a ****on of level 3 equipment/ammo, instead of the uncommon character card with the gear drop here and there.

Not true. Again, we are talking about the Earth DLC gear ONLY. You are 2 for 20 in so-called "Uncommon" Earth DLC Gear:
Thermal Clip Storage (0/5)
Adaptive War Amp (0/5)
Engineering Kit (1/5)
Densified Ammo (1/5)

Your so-called "Rare" Earth DLC Gear? Barely better at 8 for 35.
Combatives Upgrade (2/5)
Martial Biotic Amp (1/5)
Juggernaut Shield (0/5)
Shock Trooper Upgrade (0/5)
Guerrilla Upgrade (2/5)
Omni Capacitors (1/5)
Barrage Upgrade (2/5)

Really? Here's what your manifest says about your "a lot of luck".

You are 1 for 20 in so-called "Uncommon" Earth DLC Gear:
Thermal Clip Storage (0/5)
Adaptive War Amp (1/5)
Engineering Kit (0/5)
Densified Ammo (0/5)

Your so-called "Rare" Earth DLC Gear? Barely better at a laughable 2 for 35.
Combatives Upgrade (0/5)
Martial Biotic Amp (0/5)
Juggernaut Shield (1/5)
Shock Trooper Upgrade (0/5)
Guerrilla Upgrade (1/5)
Omni Capacitors (0/5)
Barrage Upgrade (0/5)

Again, this thread is in reference to the Earth DLC gear ONLY.

Max out all of your consumables at 255 and it changes absolutely NOTHING. Like an overflowing toilet, you will still receive the same motherflipping consumables. Maxing consumables changes the drop rate for NOTHING in the store. Period.

I don't know what packs you're buying, but having maxed consumables swaps out "guaranteed consumable" slots for equipment for me. Well, maxed T-clips, medigel and rockets -- never could keep my hands on more than 200 survival kits at a time due to overuse.


Consumables == Level I, II, III, IV ammo, armor and weapon consumables. Those will continue to drop whether you have them maxed at 255 or not. Max them, nothing changes. You will still receive them. Look at the Consumables tab on my manifest for proof of this.

Bizarre - so it might actually be the case that Gear is EASIER to obtain the LESS you have unlocked/maxed out???


No. It just seems that way because *other* things are unlocking. People think that because they got the pre-Earth DLC gears, that they aren't affected. I have been spending the last 15 minutes or so pointing out that they are not. Case in point? You have unlocked only 10 of the 55 gear drops from the Earth DLC. I'm sure you already know this though, or you wouldn't have clicked on the thread. I would bet good money that unless Bioware seriously addresses this, you'll max your "Ultra-Rare" Typhoon to X long before you level up your so-called/misclassified "Uncommon" and "Rare" Earth DLC gears.

I haven't gotten any gear mods in weeks. Same with characters. And I never get any level IV ammo either. Sucks! I just got vangaurd Drell a week ago and am still missing 3 earth characters and some weapons.

The store seems to have issues. I contacted support and they suggested that I clear the cache from my xbox. Didn't help.

I think there is less players on spending even less "real money" on packs. So lets make it harder to get gear and stuff to make people spend $$$.

Tell me about it. I only unlocked Martial Biotic Amp I (Rare) the other day, and don't even have Densified Ammunition (Uncommon) yet.
