Yeah. As per the title. I just sank my entire entertainment budget for the month of November into buying 100 PSP and AR packs.

Before you flame me, I am a working professional and I have money but my time is limited. I can't really grind the multiplayer for hundreds of hours to unlock all the weapons.

I've been a huge fan of the Mass Effect series and have played since ME1. I was a poor student when ME1 and ME2 came out so I couldn't buy the DLCs, but when ME3 came out I made sure to get everything! ME3: Citadel was amazing. I only recently got into the multiplayer and I am completely hooked! Originally I thought it was just a bonus thrown in by Bioware for the end of the trilogy and not much of a game on its own, but boy, how wrong I was. I think it is very well done and the fact that it still has a great player base says something (I have no problems finding games at 2AM in the morning). But I just felt so underpowered--everybody around me had some crazy-ass strong characters/weapons unlocked, like 6 medi-gels to use when they went down, etc. I kept joining games where everyone had a Typhoon, Harrier, or Hurricane and I was the only one running around with my dear Avenger.

I did spend some time initially playing and buying Recruit/Veteran packs to fill up my Common's. A lot of the consumables came from these packs. Before spending my cash, I also purchased about 30 or so 99,000 packs using game money (I think around 30. Not sure). But a lot of the rare/ultra-rare content is the result of purchases. Thought it would give people some idea what to expect after spending this amount of money on packs.

Here are the results:

=== Weapons === 

= Common =
Avenger X
Predator X
Katana X 
Shuriken X
Mantis X

= Uncommon =
Vindicator II
Mattock VI
Phaeston VII
Phalanx VI
Scimitar III
Eviscerator IV
Tempest IV
Locust VII
Viper V
Raptor V
Incisor IV

= Rare =
Revenant VII
Striker VII
Geth Pulse Rifle II
Falcon VI
Collector Rifle II
Argus VI
Adas VI
Arc Pistol III
Suppressor II
Carnifex IV
Executioner Pistol VII
Acolyte III
Raider VIII
Reegar Carbine VIII
Graal Spike Thrower VIII
Geth Plasma Shotgun X
Disciple IV
Claymore VI
Piranha III
Hornet VI
Geth SMG X
Widow V
Krysae III
Collector Sniper Rifle II
Kishock Harpoon Gun V

= Ultra Rare = 
Valkyrie III
Saber I
Lancer I
Typhoon I (yay!)
Harrier I (yay!)
Eagle II
Wraith III
Venom III
Crusader I
Collector SMG I
Blood Pack Punisher III
Valiant I
Indra II

=== Weapon Mods === 
= Common = 
All; most at V

= Uncommon =
Missing Pistol Piercing and SMG ULM. Most at II - III, a few at IV

= Rare = 
A mix of I, II, and III. 

Missing: 

Pistol Cranial Trauma System
Sniper Rifle High-Velocity Barrel (really want this one!)
Assault Rifle High-Velocity Barrel
Sniper Rifle ULM

=== Characters ===

= Common =
All

= Rare: 75% complete, missing the following: =

Salarian Infiltrator (I heard this guy is really good!)
Batarian Soldier
Krogan Battlemaster
Asari Justicar
Quarian Engineer
N7 Fury
N7 Demolisher
N7  Paladin
N7 Slayer
Drell Assassin
Batarian Slasher

= Ultra Rare = : Managed to get them all. But 2 Volus? Are these any good? Haven't tried them...

Volus Adept
Volus Engineer
Awakened Collector

=== Consumables === 

183 Thermal Clip Pack
197 Medi-Gel
122 Cobra Missiles
175 Ops Survival Pack

6 Thermal Clip Capacity
6 Medi-Gel Capacity
6 Cobra Missile Launcher Capacity
6 Ops Survival Pack Capacity

=== Gear === 

= Uncommon = 
- Missing: 

Mental Focuser
Shield Booster
Multicapacitor
Shotgun Amp
Adaptive War Amp

= Rare = 
Got all of them. Most at I-II, a few at III / IV, and for some reason got Juggernaut Shield to V.

Needless to say, I am done spending money on Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer :P I'm going to go improve my skills and play some real games now. I have my eyes on the Hurricane and Black Widow as well as the Javelin, so hopefully with my new weapons I can win more Gold matches and actually gain in-game credits for packs.

On a sidenote: Most of my Ultra Rare weapons are at level one. I wonder how long would it take to level them to X? Like forever? I mean, it took $300 / 100 PSP (plus maybe another 30 PSP) just to get 2/3 of the UR weapons. Jeez...

Don't feel bad. It was disposable income I'd happily spend to fund my new addiction. I do think the rates I got UR / even Rares is quite ridiculous, though.

Also one mistake I made (or not?) was that I bought too many PSP. I kept getting the same characters that I had already unlocked, but with "Character Training" instead. I was trying to unlock the Paladin and Fury, so probably went overboard on that. Maybe if I had focused more on Arsenal Packs, I would have gotten a higher rate of weapons.

Do you know you can hack the PC version to Max your manifest in 4-5 hours.

The result is that you just spent 5 times the price of the game on the game.

Wow. My play time is only around 30 hours and I've spent around the same amount in the store, so it looks like a long way ahead indeed.

Food for thought: I am at 1380 hours, 35 minutes, and 5 seconds spent in game. I still do not have a maxed manifest.
