======================================================================
1) Introduction (MEC100)
======================================================================

With the release of the final piece of Mass Effect 3 downloadable content,
"Citadel", the need for a complete guide encompassing all of the collectibles
in the single-player campaign is greater than ever.

Comprising dozens of armor sets, weapons, items, mods, skills and more, ME3
features a boatload of collectible content for the gamer who loves lots of
loot, or just wants to go for 100% completion of the game. Strangely, however,
there is no single-document resource for all of these collectibles, and the
sites/wikis that do catalogue this information spread it out across dozens of
pages and subsections, making it extremely inefficient for players who need a
single, unified resource for information.

In addition, there is a large amount of misinformation and incomplete data
about the various collectibles, both in the game itself and the various FAQ's
which have attempted to catalogue all of the items. To date, no single ME3 FAQ
on Gamefaqs has fully catalogued the complete set of collectibles in the
single-player campaign, which is surprising given how many items are in the
game itself.

This guide contains all information and descriptions about all of the items,
weapons and collectibles you will discover over the course of the game and its
respective DLC's, organized in an easy-to-read format that allows for quick
searching. Simply hit Ctrl+F on your keyboard, type in the corresponding ID
for the section, and you'll instantly jump to it - it's that simple!


¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

1.1) General Information and Tips (MEc101)

- Collectibles (armor, weapons, mods, items) are present in every mission
throughout the base game and its respective DLC's. Some are hidden in
out-of-the-way or initially-inaccessible locations, so search thoroughly while
progressing through each level.

- Most equipment and collectibles can also be purchased at various store
terminals throughout the Citadel, or from the Citadel Requisitions terminal in
the Shuttle Bay aboard the Normandy (for a 10% markup).

- With the exception of the Shadow Broker Base Model (from the Mass Effect 2:
Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC) and the Prejek Paddle Fish, no weapons, armor
or collectibles are imported from Mass Effect 2, necessitating their discovery
and acquisition in this game.

- Certain weapons and armor pieces discovered in the early missions of the game
(notably, during Priority: Mars and Priority: Palaven) can become inaccessible,
as they cannot be purchased from a store terminal after mission completion.

======================================================================
2) Armor (MEC200)
======================================================================

Shepard can find and wear various pieces of armor, as well as complete armor
sets, throughout the game and its respective DLC's. Most armor in the base
game is made up of segmented pieces which can be worn in different
configurations for different sets of benefits.

Armor pieces can generally be found during missions, or (if they were not
acquired during the mission) in store terminals aboard the Citadel and
Normandy. Armor sets can also be bought in store terminals for a price of
50,000 credits each. All armor can be equipped in the Captain's Cabin aboard
the Normandy and the Armor Lockers in the shuttle bay, the Silversun Strip
apartment and the Armax Combat Arena.

All entries include the name of the armor, its description, where it can be
acquired and its designated combat effect.

Commons onboard the Citadel after the mission for 5,000 credits.
Effect: Increases melee damage by 10%.

Delumcore Overlay
Description: Developed by Delumcore Systems, a VI inside this headgear enhances
aim when targeting an enemy's vulnerable points. It also maximizes armor-cell
efficiency, feeding excess power to weapon systems. The overlay's VI originally
reported the wearer's combat status out loud, but this system was scrapped
after testers called it "intrusive," "talky," and "kind of moody."
Acquired: During Priority: Cerberus Headquarters - near the third lore console.
Alternately, the helmet can be purchased from Kassa Fabrications in the Spectre
Requisitions terminal aboard the Normandy after the mission for 5,000 credits.
Effect: Increases headshot damage by 5% and weapon damage by 10%.

find outside Alliance space. This headpiece plugs into the rest of the user's
suit, gathering data so it can adapt to the wearer's tactics. It boosts armor
performance at critical moments to allow a soldier to perform with greater
strength and speed than normally possible.

officer and bypassing the door, the helmet can be found under a big-screen
television in a room with two Guardians and a Combat Engineer. Alternately, the
helmet can be purchased from Kanala Exports in the Presidium Commons onboard
the Citadel after the mission for 5,000 credits.
Effect: Increases weapon damage by 10%.

Securitel Helmet
Description: The Securitel Helmet was originally designed as riot-gear. It is
covered in ablative plating, well-padded to lessen damage from shocks, blows
and bullet impacts. The helmet's emitters boost shielding in the rest of the
armor, while its onboard computers monitor the wearer's heart-rate and central
nervous system.
Acquired: During Priority: The Citadel II - after Bailey asks if there were any
survivors, on the lefthand room in the straight hallway. Alternately, the
helmet can be purchased from Kassa Fabrication in the Presidium Commons onboard
the Citadel after the mission for 5,000 credits.
Effect: Increases heath by 5% and shields by 5%.

Sentry Interface
Description: This visor works with the Sentry system, a software application
that optimizes an armor suit's microframe computer. When the Sentry system is

Armax Arsenal Armor
Description: (see Armor Pieces section)
Acquired: (see Armor Pieces section)
Effect: Increases headshot damage by 10%, weapon damage by 20% and ammo
capacity by 20%.

Blood Dragon Armor
Description: Originally created for Earth's Urban Combat Championship league,
this set of armor has undergone as much or more field testing than those of
modern militaries. It uses a unique, proprietary power cell costs as much as a
EUCC rookie's contract. The armor's microframe computer adapts to any top-tier
omni-tool, kinetic barrier, or biotic amp, giving breathtaking and error-free
performance. The chest and shoulder piece bears the logo of the Edmonton Blood
Dragons, and the inside of the armor bears the signatures of the entire team.
Acquired: From the Kanala Exports terminal in the Presidium Commons onboard the
Citadel for 50,000 credits.
Effect: Increases power recharge speed by 10%, power damage by 30% and shields
by 20%.

Cerberus Ajax Armor
Description: Among Cerberus soldiers, Ajax armor is favored by those brave or
unlucky enough to lead charges to break enemy formations. Its role is to keep
the wearer standing and shooting as long as possible. It offers some benefit to
omni-tool and biotic amp systems, but its main emphasis is boosting and
recharging its kinetic barrier and bleeding off weapon heat through coolant
circulation in its gloves. Due to the high-risk tactics associated with the
armor, the Alliance has captured very few suits in perfect condition.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Alternate Appearance Pack 1 DLC.
Effect: Increases ammo capacity by 25%, weapon damage by 10%, power damage by
10%, shield regeneration speed by 10% and shields by 25%.

Cerberus Assault Armor
Description: Cerberus assault armor is designed for shock troops, who are
expected to turn the tide of battle against creatures or forces that would
decimate normal soldiers. The troops demanded three things in its design:
shields and armor thick enough to last against a superior foe, and compartments
for extra thermal clips. The only drawback of the armor is its weight, which
the troops carry as a point of pride. They have a saying: "Out of shape going
in, in shape coming out."
Acquired: From the Elkoss Combine terminal in the Presidium Commons onboard the
Citadel for 50,000 credits.
Effect: Increases ammo capacity by 10%, weapon damage by 20%, health by 20% and
shields by 10%.

Cerberus Nightmare Armor
Description: Nightmare armor is worn by Cerberus Phantoms expecting long-range
conflicts. Powerful capacitors deliver punishing energy to the Phantom's
weapons, and circulating coolant in its gloves allows for more shots before a
given thermal clip overheats. The remaining energy focuses on shield strength
and regeneration time to help survivability.
Acquired: During the Citadel DLC - in the Armax Combat Arena, achieve a high
score of 9999 or more and claim at the Armax Store on the main level. NOTE: If
this armor is chosen, the Cerberus Shade and Cerberus Spirit armors cannot be
obtained for the duration of the playthrough.
Effect: Increases ammo capacity by 20%, headshot damage by 20%, weapon damage
by 20%, shield regen speed by 10% and shields by 10%.

Cerberus Shade Armor
Description: Cerberus Shade armor is worn by Phantoms who need to be prepared
for a wide variety of threats. Its capacitors give modest boosts to shields and
shield regeneration time. Many small improvements increase the performance of
biotic amps and omni-tools, heat management and kinetic coils for ranged
weapons, and synthetic muscle assistors for melee capability.
Acquired: During the Citadel DLC - in the Armax Combat Arena, achieve a high
score of 9999 or more and claim at the Armax Store on the main level.  NOTE: If
this armor is chosen, the Cerberus Nightmare and Cerberus Spirit armors cannot
be obtained for the duration of the playthrough.
Effect: Increases melee damage by 10%, ammo capacity by 10%, weapon damage by
10%, power damage by 10%, shield regen speed by 10% and shields by 10%.

Cerberus Spirit Armor
Description: Spirit armor is worn by Cerberus Phantoms fortunate enough to be
biotic or for thosewho are skilled enough to use highly technical attacks. The
armor has small gains for shield strength and regeneration, but where it truly
shines is in its capacity to amplify biotic amps and omni-tools. These attacks
hit significantly harder and more often, allowing the Phantom to dismantle
heavily-armored targets.
Acquired: During the Citadel DLC - in the Armax Combat Arena, achieve a high
score of 9999 or more and claim at the Armax store on the main level. NOTE: If
this armor is chosen, the Cerberus Nightmare and Cerberus Shade armors cannot
be obtained for the duration of the playthrough.
Effect: Increases power recharge speed by 30%, power damage by 30%, shield
regen speed by 10% and shields by 10%.

Collector Armor
Description: The Collectors' chitinous armor is flexible and even tougher than
ballistic fibers. Its organic construction allows it to be self-healing, and
the muscle-like tissue that assists movement ensures it is comfortable to wear
despite its weight. This suit was originally adapted out of salvaged Collector
technology by Cerberus, and is incredibly difficult to find on the galactic
market.
Acquired: From the Nos Astra Sporting Goods terminal in the Presidium Commons
onboard the Citadel for 50,000 credits.
Effect: Increases shield regeneration speed by 20%, health by 20% and shields
by 20%.

Inferno Armor
Description: Built specifically for Cerberus field officers, the Inferno armor
has a VI dedicated to recognizing signs of stress and medical trauma. This
application helps assess soldiers, but can be useful in any high risk
situations. The Inferno's microframe computer also manages biotic amp and
omni-tool power, and microservos help the wearer's movements to counteract the
armor's weight.
Acquired: From the Kassa Fabrication terminal in the Presidium Commons onboard
the Citadel for 50,000 credits.
Effect: Increases power recharge speed by 30% and power damage by 30%.

Hahne-Kedar Armor

Description: (see Armor Pieces section)
Acquired: At the beginning of the game - given automatically when the player
leaves Earth.
Effect: Increases health by 40% (50% with helmet).

N7 Defender Armor
Description: The Defender Armor is a variation on the N7 Special Forces’ combat
gear, built to protect soldiers in long-running engagements where
reinforcements may be sparse. When the wearer fires a weapon, the suit's
computers divert energy from the main power cell to the gun's kinetic coils,
offering an extra punch. The Defender's storage compartments are designed to
hold spare thermal clips, while capacitors throughout the armor provide extra
power to shields during critical moments in battle. The armor also comes with
an injection system built into the suit and neural-linked bio-monitors that
help adjust the wearer's breathing rate and adrenaline levels.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the N7 Warfare Gear pre-order content
pack.
Effect: Increases weapon damage by 10%, ammo capacity by 20%, health by 10% and
shields by 10%.

Reckoner-Knight Armor
Description: The Reckoner-Knight armor was originally worn by the winners of
Earth's Urban Combat Championship 2186, the Rhode Island Knights. A
military-grade version of this equipment was presented to longtime Knight fans
at the Alliance's Rhode Island base, in thanks for their passionate (and vocal)
support during the EUCC championship matches. Beneath this armor's
medieval-gothic facade lie a host of biofeedback systems intended to monitor
the wearer's health and combat performance. Micro-servos maximize damage done
in close-quarters combat, while a beefed-up power cell feeds energy into
weapons systems to increase projectile velocity. Befitting gear originally
designed for a full-contact sport, a sophisticated shield system also offers
the wearer solid protection from incoming attacks.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading and completing the demo for Kingdoms
of Amalur: Reckoning (EA account required).
Effect: Increases weapon damage by 10%, melee damage by 20%, health by 10% and
shields by 10%.

Rosenkov Materials Armor
Description: (see Armor Pieces section)
Acquired: (see Armor Pieces section)
Effect: Increases power recharge speed by 40%.

Serrice Council Armor
Description: (see Armor Pieces section)
Acquired: (see Armor Pieces section)
Effect: Increases power damage by 40%.

Terminus Armor
Description: The Terminus Armor is environmentally sealed with an independent
air supply for use in space and extreme planetary conditions. Its onboard
microframe computer runs a suite of battle management software. To prevent
detection by passive thermal sensors, body heat is channeled to the base of the
feet and dispersed into the ground.
Acquired: From the Batarian State Arms terminal in the Docks Area onboard the
Citadel for 50,000 credits.
Effect: Increases melee damage by 15%, ammo capacity by 15% and shields by 30%.

======================================================================
3) Weapons (MEC300)
======================================================================

Weapons can be obtained in all of the missions throughout the base game and its
respective DLC's. They can also be purchased at various terminals found
throughout the Citadel or obtained through downloading specific downloadable
weapon packs.

3.1) Assault Rifles (MEC301)

Adas Anti-Synthetic Rifle
Description: Named in memory of the quarians killed in the Morning War on the
planet Adas, this weapon's electrical attack has been optimized for medium- to
long-range firefights. Alliance marines take issue with calling it a "rifle"
since, technically, it has no rifling in its barrel. The quarians shrug this
off, as quarian weapon terminology rarely translates flawlessly into human
languages.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Firefight Pack DLC.

Cerberus Harrier
Description: These Cerberus-modified Mattock rifles are fully automatic.
Cerberus gunsmiths reined in the recoil issues, resulting in a gun that stays
on target but delivers slightly less punch per round than a standard Mattock.
As such, the weapon is typically utilized by Cerberus’s elite troopers who
train constantly to make every burst count.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Firefight Pack DLC.

Chakram Launcher
Description: The fancifully named Chakram Launcher uses an internal fabricator
to manufacture lightweight ammunition discs wrapped in holographic tracers. The
discs explode on impact, sending shrapnel tearing through the enemy. Markings
stamped on the gun's barrel are a shipping code created by its manufacturer,
Ama-Lur Equipment. The code warns that the rifle must be assembled carefully,
as it contains mixtures extremely volatile under pressure. This is why the
Chakram Launcher requires thermal clips: without a way to dissipate the intense
heat caused by its fabrication process, the rifle's circuitry would quickly
destroy itself in a spectacularly lethal meltdown.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading and completing the demo for Kingdoms
of Amalur: Reckoning (EA account required), or during the Omega DLC - in the
Mines section, on a dead body just after exiting the elevator.

Geth Pulse Rifle
Description: Geth pulse rifles are comparable to a standard stock assault
rifle, but finely balanced with low-recoil and incredibly high accuracy. The
pulse rifle fires a rapid stream of light-weight slugs which are wrapped in a
phasic envelope to increase their damage.
Acquired: During Priority: Geth Dreadnought - on top of a crate just before
entering the Operations Center. Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased
from the Elkoss Combine terminal in the Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel
after the mission for 10,000 credits.

M-7 Lancer
Description: The M-7 Lancer is a rare collector's item that was introduced
shortly after the First Contact War. The Lancer has been refurbished by an
unknown master weaponsmith, and it now uses the higher velocity rounds of
today's weaponry. It does not need heat sinks, instead utilizing weapon
heat-generation from an earlier era. Few of these finely crafted weapons are
in existence.
Acquired: During the Citadel DLC - found in Citadel Archives: Escape, in an
alcove in the vault you enter after first speaking with Glyph.

M-8 Avenger
Description: The Avenger is a common, versatile, military-grade assault rifle
manufactured by the Elkoss Combine. It's accurate when fired in short bursts,
and deadly when fired on full auto. The modular design and inexpensive
components of the Avenger make it a favorite of military groups and mercenaries
alike. The rifle has a reputation for being tough, reliable, easy to use, and
easy to upgrade.
Acquired: During Prologue: Earth - found on the ground near the radio. If it is
not picked up, Shepard will automatically acquire the rifle in the next
cutscene.

M-15 Vindicator
Description: A battle rifle that fires in three-round bursts. Favored by
assassins and elite mercenaries, and deadly at any range. Manufactured by
Elanus Risk Control Services for the Blue Suns mercenary group, the Vindicator
is popular in the Terminus Systems.
Acquired: During Priority: Mars - in a weapon locker after exiting the tram.
Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased from the Kassa Fabrication
terminal in the Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel after the mission for
4,000 credits.

M-37 Falcon
Description: This Alliance rifle launches 25mm mini-grenades. Lighter and more
accurate than most grenade launchers, the Falcon burns through specialized
ammunition as well as standard thermal clips. A field fabrication kit generates
this ammunition, leaving the clips as the rifle's only limitation.
Acquired: During Priority: Cerberus Headquarters - on the ground between the
destroyed wall and a door after launching the fighter into the wall.
Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased from the Citadel Requisitions
terminal in the shuttle bay onboard the Normandy after the mission for 10,000
credits.

M-55 Argus
Description: The Argus is a high-powered rifle favored by senior C-sec
officers. An excellent close-range weapon, its bursts of fire ensure ammunition
conservation during lengthy conflicts. Other law-enforcement agencies across
the galaxy are adopting the Argus as their standard rifle, as much for its
intimidation factor as its suppression power.
Acquired: Automatically as a bonus for pre-ordering Mass Effect 3, or in
Despoina: Leviathan - in an shack on the abandoned ship.

M-76 Revenant
Description: The M-76 Revenant unleashes a storm of high-velocity slugs. It has
low accuracy but a high thermal clip capacity, and packs considerable
firepower. This custom-made machine gun features technology not widely
available. Protected against replication by sophisticated Fabrication Rights
Management (FRM) technology, only the richest and most powerful warlords can
afford the Revenant.
Acquired: During Priority: The Citadel II - in the C-Sec locker room's
bathroom, near the water sprinklers.

M-96 Mattock
Description: Medium-range, semi-automatic rifle. The Mattock is a hybrid weapon
with an assault rifle's low heat production and a sniper rifle's punch.
Marksmen favor its increased power over that of an assault rifle to bring down
hardened targets. Its lack of a full-auto setting is advertised as a feature
rather than a shortcoming as it curbs a soldier's tendency to spray inaccurate
fire under stress.
Acquired: During Grissom Academy: Emergency Evacuation, on a couch near Seanne
Bellarmine, or in the security room behind the biotic shield students if the
Mass Effect 2: Overlord DLC was completed and David Archer lived. Alternately,
the weapon can also be purchased from the Kassa Fabrication terminal in the
Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel after the mission for 7,000 credits.

M-99 Saber
Description: A heavy-duty semi-automatic rifle favored by only the most elite
marksman, the M-99 Saber is jokingly referred to as "The Big Iron" for its
sheer stopping power. Each M-99 Saber is designed specifically for its owner,
making it one of the Alliance's more expensive weapons.
Acquired: During Priority: Horizon - in a stasis pod that must be activated by
a "Pod - manual override" switch further ahead in the room.

N7 Typhoon
Description: The Typhoon is a distinctive light machine gun featuring a face
shield to protect the shooter from headshots. Its power and recoil are so
notorious that it includes a high-tech kinetic reducer to fight muzzle climb.
Since the reducer tries to limit all motion by the weapon, marksmen do not
engage it while moving and instead reduce the recoil only while they are in
cover.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Groundside Resistance Pack.

N7 Valkyrie
Description: After the carnage of the Battle of the Citadel, Alliance officers
commissioned a new rifle for their ground forces. A variation of the popular
Avenger design, the Valkyrie is now standard issue for new recruits.
Exceptionally well-crafted, accurate, and packing ample firepower, the rifle is
a hot black-market item when it surfaces.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the N7 Warfare Gear pre-order content
pack, or during the Omega DLC in the room where Shepard and Aria meet Nyreen.
Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased from the Harrot's Emporium
terminal in Aria's Bunker during the Omega DLC for 7,000 credits.

Particle Rifle
Description: After the Reapers obliterated the Prothean Empire's warships, the
Prothean resistance was forced to develop weapons that did not rely on intact
supply lines. The Prothean Particle Rifle is a stripped-down, powerful assault
rifle modified to fire without thermal clips or specialized ammunition.
Alliance scientists agree that it appears to share some principles with the
Collectors' particle beam weapon, although this gun requires a temporary
cool-down period if it overheats. An amalgam of two different eras of
technology, the particle rifle is still a deadly, efficient weapon.
Acquired: Automatically after completing the From Ashes DLC mission Priority:
Eden Prime.

Phaeston
Description: Named after a turian spirit of creation, the Phaeston was
engineered to provide the best possible balance between accuracy and firepower
in a machine gun. Each shot is tempered by kickback dampeners inside the
shoulder stock, which lets the Phaeston pack more punch than other weapons its
size without sacrificing precision. Its fully automatic fire and relatively
light weight has turned the Phaeston into the turian infantry's primary go-to
weapon.
Acquired: During Tuchanka: Turian Platoon - on the body of a dead turian after
fighting the first Harvester, or during the Omega DLC in the room where Shepard
and Aria meet Nyreen. Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased from the
Cipritine Armory terminal in the Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel after
the mission for 7,000 credits.

Striker Assault Rifle
Description: The Striker is a fully-automatic weapon that functions more as a
grenade launcher than a rifle, firing high-impact slugs that detonate on
contact. The weapon increases its rate of fire the longer the trigger is held,
which is devastating if the weapon can be kept on-target. In an attempt to
market the Striker outside of the Krogan DMZ, the gun was designed to be fired
by non-krogan, but its recoil tends to off-balance smaller species. Enthusiasts
point out that the target on the receiving end of a Striker has far worse
things to worry about than it's shooter's balance.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Groundside Resistance Pack DLC.


¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

3.2) Pistols (MEC302)

Acolyte
Description: Designed for asari resistance, the Acolyte's barrels fire advanced
ammunition similar to that of an impact-triggered resonant warp bomb, which has
a devastating effect on shields and biotic barriers. The specialized nature of
the warp field means it does not pierce armor as effectively, but the shooter's
biotics are expected to make up for this shortcoming.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Groundside Resistance Pack DLC.

Arc Pistol
Description: An innovation of Admiral Daro'Xen, the Arc Pistol is a scaled-down
Arc Projector that only requires thermal clips, to solve its power problems.
The Arc Pistol uses a nonvisible laser to ionize the air and create a path for
a high-ampere electric shock. For a more damaging blast, it can be charged up.
Acquired: During Priority: Geth Dreadnought - it is set down by Tali or Admiral
Xen near the start of the mission for Shepard to take. Alternately, the weapon
can also be purchased from the Elkoss Combine terminal in the Presidium Commons
onboard the Citadel after the mission for 10,000 credits.

Executioner Pistol
Description: Invented by Blood Pack weapons experts, the first Executioner was
improvised using spare parts and scrap metal during an Omega territory dispute.
The result was a hand-held cannon able to fire high-impact armor-piercing
slugs, although only one at a time due to its limited heatsink. Many Blood Pack
mercs carry an Executioner as backup in case they get pinned down, but some
enthusiasts prefer it as their primary gun, sticking to the one-shot-one-kill
approach.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Groundside Resistance Pack DLC.

M-3 Predator
Description: A reliable, accurate sidearm. Manufactured by Elanus Risk Control,
the Predator is valued as a powerful, deadly, and relatively inexpensive
weapon. While it is not generally deployed in the military, it's still very
popular in the Terminus Systems.
Acquired: Given to Shepard by Anderson automatically in Prologue: Earth.

M-5 Phalanx
Description: The M-5 Phalanx is the product of the Alliance's Offensive Handgun
Project, a close-in weapon to be used with no loss of stopping power in
comparison with a soldier's assault rifle. The Phalanx enjoys a ballistics
advantage over most heavy pistols. Civilian variants are often purchased by
colonists on planets that have particularly dangerous big-game animals.
Acquired: During Priority: Tuchanka - near the top of the stairs just before
the Maw Hammer section. Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased from
Kassa Fabrication in the Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel after the
mission for 7,000 credits.

M-6 Carnifex
Description: A highly accurate and lethal pistol. The Carnifex is a favored
sidearm of mercenary leaders and Eclipse mercenary tech specialists. An
expensive but powerful weapon, its marketing materials feature a charging
krogan with the slogan "Don't you wish Carnifex was at your side?"
Acquired: During Arrae: Ex-Cerberus Scientists, in the tunnel just after
leaving the scientists for the first time. Alternately, the weapon can also be
purchased from Kassa Fabrication in the Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel
after the mission for 10,000 credits.

M-11 Suppressor
Description: The M-11 Suppressor is the product of the Alliance's Offensive
Handgun Project that developed an infiltration weapon to be used in </pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
close-quarters situations where silence is key. The Suppressor features a
built-in integral sound moderator that reduces noise and muzzle flash. Civilian
variants on the weapon are considered illegal but can be found in some sectors.
Acquired: During the Citadel DLC - given automatically at the beginning of
Citadel Wards: Ambush.

M-77 Paladin
Description: The Paladin is a reliable, durable weapon developed by law
enforcement looking for a high-powered but easily concealed sidearm for
undercover agents. Surprisingly small for its hitting power, the Paladin is a
variant on the Carnifex pistol. While it has a smaller clip than the Carnifex,
its shots are unquestionably more powerful.
Acquired: From the Spectre Requisitions terminal in the Citadel Embassies
onboard the Citadel for 200,000 credits.

M-358 Talon
Description: The Talon is a close-range pistol favored by Cerberus Guardians.
Firing heavy-gauge shotgun pellets, it delivers massive trauma to unarmored
targets. Its waste heat is sufficiently excessive that it carries six separate
ammunition blocks, rotating like a twentieth-century revolver to prevent shaver
jam or misfire due to premature melting of the shot.
Acquired: During Priority: The Citadel II inside a locked room, which must be
opened by a control panel in a nearby room with a malfunctioning door.

N7 Eagle
Description: When the Alliance's Offensive Handgun Project received funding to
update one of its designs, its engineers chose to redesign the already
impressive Phalanx pistol. Like its predecessor, the Eagle is a compact, fully
automatic pistol that delivers unprecedented accuracy and punch with a rapid
firing rate. The Eagle is named after the Desert Eagle, a classic handgun which
gained a romantic reputation among gun collectors, thanks to its popularity in
20th- and 21st-century Earth action movies.
Acquired: Automatically as part of the Mass Effect 3: N7 Collector's Edition.

Scorpion
Description: Originally issued to the salarian STG to allow small units to
contain much larger enemy forces, the Scorpion pistol now sees service
galaxy-wide. It fires low-velocity, squash-head projectiles with a dual use.
The high-explosive filler within the projectiles contains an adhesive that
secures the projectile to the target on impact. When fired into a surface, it
turns into a proximity mine.
Acquired: During Priority: Sur'Kesh, in a corner near a power switch.
Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased from Aegohr Munitions in the
Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel after the mission for 7,000 credits.


¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

3.3) Shotguns (MEC303)

AT-12 Raider
Description: Carried by the batarian military's notorious Special Intervention
Unit, the Raider is a semi-automatic shotgun that loads slowly but fires
rapidly, with tremendous force. Short-range even for a shotgun, the Raider has
a large pellet spread. Rather than eliminating recoil, its integral
compensators instead make it predictable and vertical.
Acquired: Automatically as a bonus for pre-ordering Mass Effect 3 via EA's
Origin service, or in Namakii: Leviathan - on a corpse near the first group of
enemies.

Disciple
Description: Originally handcrafted for the exclusive use of justicars, the
Disciple Shotgun's schematics were finally released to asari commandos after
centuries of negotiation. The Disciple uses shells packed with microscale
submunitions to deal staggering amounts of damage. Even shielded enemies are
stunned by the force of a blast from this weapon.
Acquired: During Kallini: Ardat-Yakshi Monastery - in a small room just after
speaking with Falere for the first time. Alternately, the weapon can also be
purchased from Nos Astra Sporting Goods in the Presidium Commons onboard the
Citadel after the mission for 7,000 credits.

Geth Plasma Shotgun
Description: This three-barreled geth weapon fires miniature but potent cluster
rounds of superconducting projectiles and has a longer range than standard
shotguns. A two-stage trigger system allows for either quick-fire capacitors or
a charge-and-release attack to electrify the projectiles as they exit the
weapon. As the rounds hit the target, they fragment and electricity arcs
between the pieces, flash-converting the air to conductive plasma. The
resulting impact, heat, and electrical charge overloads shields and barriers
and causes massive trauma to unarmored targets.
Acquired: During Priority: Rannoch - located near the beginning of the mission
on a crate on an inaccessible platform where enemies spawn. Alternately, the
weapon can also be purchased from the Elkoss Combine terminal in the Presidium
Commons onboard the Citadel after the mission for 10,000 credits.

Graal Spike Thrower
Description: The Graal is one of a long line of krogan weapons used to hunt
thresher maws. Its ammunition consists of oversized flechettes meant to pierce
thresher hide and create deep wound channels leading to massive blood loss. For
additional firepower, the weapon is double-barreled, and, as a last resort,
possesses blades to cause internal injuries if the wielder is swallowed by the
thresher. Using a Graal on a humanoid target has predictably grisly effects.
Its shots can be charged for more damage.
Acquired: During Priority: Tuchanka - beside the safety rail after the Krogan
convoy stops at the damaged section of road. Alternately, the weapon can also
be purchased from the Cipirtine Armory terminal in the Presidium Commons
onboard the Citadel after the mission for 7,000 credits.

M-11 Wraith
Description: The Wraith is favored among mercenaries, pirates, and slavers in
the Terminus systems. Its high-impact damage and sturdy construction make it a
popular "quick-draw" shotgun. A variant of the M-22 Eviscerator, demand for the
Wraith is higher than ever, even though the weapon is banned in Citadel space.
In order to lighten its weight, the Wraith holds fewer shots than the
Eviscerator.
Acquired: From the Spectre Requisitions terminal in the Citadel Embassies
onboard the Citadel for 250,000 credits.

M-22 Eviscerator
Description: The Lieberschaft 2180 shotgun, or "Eviscerator," is of human
civilian design and has a unique ammunition generator. Where most modern
firearms shave off chips or pellets from an ammunition block, the M-22 shaves
off serrated metal edges designed to fly aerodynamically. This dramatically
improves its armor-piercing capabilities, and its tight grouping ensures
lethality at longer ranges than standard shotguns. This design violates several
intergalactic weapons treaties, so the M-22 is not distributed to militaries.
Acquired: During Grissom Academy: Emergency Evacuation - behind the barricade
after passing through the classroom, or in the security room unlocked by David
Archer if the Mass Effect 2: Overlord DLC was completed. Alternately, the
weapon can also be purchased from the Batarian State Arms terminal in the Docks
Area onboard the Citadel after the mission for 7,000 credits.

M-23 Katana
Description: Manufactured by Ariake Technologies, the Katana is a common
mercenary weapon, and is also popular on colonies with Varren infestations.
It's deadly at short range, but ineffective at long range.
Acquired: Automatically at the beginning of Priority: Mars if the player is a
Sentinel, Soldier or Vanguard. Otherwise, the weapon can be found on a dead
soldier after leaving the Archives' sterilization room.

M-27 Scimitar
Description: Manufactured by Ariake Technologies, the Scimitar features twin
mass effect generators, giving it a more rapid rate of fire than a traditional
shotgun. This weapon was created for the Eclipse mercenary band, but is rapidly
becoming popular with Blood Pack Trooper mercs as well.
Acquired: During Priority: Palaven - on the ground near the exit to the comm
tower from the turian base camp. Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased
from Kassa Fabrication in the Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel after the
mission for 4,000 credits.

M-300 Claymore
Description: The Claymore used to be a hard-hitting but poor-selling shotgun
due to kickback problems snapping the arms of anyone but krogan firing the
weapon. After a rehaul of its kinetic dampening system, the Claymore is being
rolled out again. As a way to lure back customers, the gun's manufacturer has
lowered the shotgun's selling price without skimping on its stopping-power.
Acquired: During Attican Traverse: Krogan Team - inside the first building.
Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased from Cipritine Armory in the
Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel after the mission for 7,000 credits.

N7 Crusader
Description: Bruised and bloody Alliance marines on Torfan attributed their
survival against waves of batarian mercenaries to the precision and stopping
power of the Crusader. With a design patterned on riot shotguns, this weapon
has a moderate rate of fire that rewards careful aiming. Since this accuracy
provides little room for error, the Crusader is primarily used by highly
trained soldiers.
Acquired: Automatically as part of the Mass Effect 3: N7 Collector's Edition.

N7 Pirahna
Description: The N7 Piranha is an assault shotgun designed for the Reaper war.
When the N7 program began training alien resistance forces, the lighter-bodied
species wanted a low-recoil weapon with a wide pellet spread for dealing with
hordes of husks. The result was the Piranha, which hit a sweet spot in
close-range firepower. Its rapid-fire capability tears apart not only husks but
most opponents unlucky enough to be in its way.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Groundside Resistance Pack DLC.

Reegar Carbine
Description: This electrical weapon improves upon the arc pistol's design by
generating a sustained current on its target. This weapon is named for the
quarian Reegar family, whose marines have served valiantly against the geth.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Firefight Pack DLC.
Venom Shotgun
Description: The Venom shotgun was developed by the salarian Special Tasks
Group to meet the unpredictable needs of those stationed in hostile areas. The
double barrel fires ammunition that detonates on impact, while a third barrel
below can be charged to fire a round of microgrenades. Given the nature of most
STG assignments, the Venom was designed to force an exit strategy and was
issued to teams whose primary objective was to extract compromised undercover
operatives. The shotgun is now issued to frontline soldiers in the war against
the Reapers.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Groundside Resistance Pack DLC.


¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

3.4) Sniper Rifles (MEC304)

Black Widow
Description: The Alliance wanted to reduce the reload time of the original
Widow rifle, without sacrificing its stopping power. The solution was to
increase the number of shots the gun could fire before it needed a fresh
thermal clip. Heavy for a sniper rifle, the Black Widow's firepower more than
compensates for its encumbrance.
Acquired: From the Spectre Requisitions terminal in the Citadel Embassies
onboard the Citadel for 250,000 credits.

Javelin
Description: Called the Javelin by Alliance marines, this geth weapon holds a
reservoir of ferrofluid, magnetically drawn into the firing chamber and
expelled at lethal speeds. Like a high-pressure water-jet, the ferrofluid cuts
through nearly anything it hits with so much heat that it resembles a beam of
light, causing terrible wounds.
Acquired: During Rannoch: Admiral Koris - near an escape pod while traveling on
the path to the tower. Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased from the
Elkoss Combine terminal in the Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel after the
mission for 10,000 credits.

Kishock Harpoon Gun
Description: An Alliance captain on her fifth tour of the Terminus Systems once
said that seeing a Kishock was the easiest way to tell if she was being
attacked by batarian mercenaries or slavers, since "no bastard with a Kishock
means to take you alive." This powerful sniper rifle fires a harpoon-like spike
that causes massive internal bleeding, and its miniaturized disruptors will
also destroy synthetics. The rifle’s biggest drawback is that it must be
reloaded after every shot, but for those with steady aim and good timing, one
shot is enough.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Groundside Resistance Pack DLC.

Krysae Sniper Rifle
Description: This turian antimaterial rifle is modified to kill Reaper enemies.
The Krysae's scope uses a rangefinder that adjusts to keep the target in proper
proportion to the shooter, which comes in useful when the sniper is forced into
close range. Its specialized ammunition is both armor-piercing and explosive.
In a desperate move, the turians released its specifications over the extranet
so that nearly anyone with a fabricator could manufacture this weapon to help
the war effort.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Firefight Pack DLC.

M-13 Raptor
Description: The Raptor is a human version of a turian weapon developed for
conflict on the low-gravity world Amar. Fighting at longer ranges than
expected, the turians optimized a low-recoil, semi-automatic rifle with a
scope, and issued it to their regular infantry, creating a hybrid weapon that
was half-assault rifle and half-sniper weapon. Cerberus assigns the Raptor to
Nemesis snipers.
Acquired: During Priority: Sur'Kesh - laying on a bench just before the last
checkpoint. Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased from the Batarian
State Arms terminal in the Docks Area onboard the Citadel after the mission for
7,000 credits.

M-29 Incisor
Description: The Incisor is a sniper rifle designed to overload active
defenses. Firing three rounds with each pull of the trigger, the Incisor was
initially advertised as having negligible recoil, although under real combat
conditions the second and third rounds frequently climb in difficulty. The
noise of the burst is comparable to a single rifle shot in duration, making it
no easier to locate the sniper by sound.
Acquired: During Tuchanka: Bomb - to the left of the first ramp. Alternately,
the weapon can also be purchased from the Kassa Fabrication terminal in the
Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel after the mission for 7,000 credits.

M-90 Indra
Description: The Indra's low-powered scope leaves it most effective at medium
range, but many soldiers believe this limitation is offset by the gun's rapid
rate of fire. The Indra is the first military-grade, fully automatic sniper
rifle. It has an extremely efficient heat-sink system that allows a
surprisingly large number of shots to be fired before the weapon ejects its
thermal clip.
Acquired: By redeeming a promotional code from Alienware Systems, or
automatically after downloading the Firefight Pack DLC.

M-92 Mantis
Description: The Mantis is a powerful sniper rifle which is able to take out
most targets in a single shot. It's incredibly accurate at long range, but rate
of fire is slow. Manufactured by Devlon Industries, the Mantis is primarily
used by police and planetary militia groups.
Acquired: Automatically at the beginning of Priority: Mars if the player is an
Infiltrator, or otherwise near the body of a dead soldier after dropping off
the first ledge.

M-97 Viper
Description: The Viper is a semi-automatic, rapid-fire sniper rifle
manufactured by Rosenkov Materials. Rosenkov developed a patented
automated-release system that assists with thermal-clip ejection, shortening
the Viper's reload time. This rifle is popular with military snipers, who
appreciate a long-range gun that can snap off multiple shots in the blink of an
eye.
Acquired: During Priority: Palaven - on a crate in the center of the Turian
base. Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased from the Kassa Fabrication
terminal in the Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel after the mission for
4,000 credits.

M-98 Widow
Description: Several research firms spent a considerable fortune trying to
redesign the Widow sniper rifle. Their goal was to retain the geth weapon's
considerable firepower while reducing its recoil, so that the gun could be
fired without breaking a nonsynthetic's arm. After much trial and error, one
company finally produced a usable model rolled out to the galactic market.
Acquired: During Priority: Thessia - beside the Asari sniper who talks to
Shepard.

N7 Valiant
Description: The Valiant is a sniper rifle tested by Alliance soldiers during a
series of harsh survival exercises on the planet Kruljaven. This streamlined
weapon employs a sophisticated fire-control system that improves accuracy by
stabilizing the barrel during targeting. Although this comes at the cost of
reduced capacity and rate of fire, most soldiers find the increase in precision
and quick reloading time a worthy tradeoff.
Acquired: Automatically as part of the Mass Effect 3: N7 Collector's Edition.


¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

3.5) Submachine Guns (MEC305)

Blood Pack Punisher
Description: The Punisher features a secondary barrel that fires one
armor-piercing round per main-barrel burst. It was developed by Blood Pack
gunsmiths who found that their vorcha recruits frequently forgot to optimize
ammo loads in the heat of combat. This configuration makes the process
automatic and highly effective at penetrating armor.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Firefight Pack.

Geth Plasma SMG
Description: This geth weapon works on the same principles as the Spitfire: it
shoots superconducting toroids that break apart on impact, retaining an
electrical charge that flash-converts the shrapnel into plasma. Unlike the
Spitfire, however, the plasma SMG has been modified to take thermal clips.
Holding down the trigger speeds up its rate of fire, rapidly depleting the
gun’s heat sink in exchange for nearly continuous fire.
Acquired: Automatically after downloading the Firefight Pack.

M-4 Shuriken
Description: As kinetic barriers have grown in popularity, so has the
popularity of submachine guns. Manufactured by the Elkoss Combine, the Shuriken
Machine Pistol fires six-round bursts with a high rate of fire.
Acquired: Automatically at the beginning of Priority: Mars if the player is an
Adept or Engineer, or otherwise near the body of a dead soldier in the security
station.

M-9 Tempest
Description: Produced by Elanus Risk Control Services for the Eclipse mercenary
band, the Tempest is an expensive but deadly addition to anyone's personal
arsenal. This fully automatic submachine gun is punishing up close, but becomes
less accurate at long range.
Acquired: During Tuchanka: Turian Platoon, beside the first group of dead
soldiers. Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased from the Kassa
Fabrication terminal in the Presidium Commons onboard the Citadel after the
mission for 7,000 credits.

M-12 Locust
Description: The Kassa Fabrications Model 12 Locust is a compact submachine gun
developed for the Alliance but now favored by gang enforcers and hit men.
Featuring a complex recoil-reducing mechanism and high-grade auto-targeting
software, the Locust delivers longer range, more accurate fire than others in
its class.
Acquired: During Priority: Horizon - on a table next to a terminal showing the
conversation between Henry Lawson and The Illusive Man. Alternately, the weapon
can also be purchased from the Kassa Fabrication terminal in the Presidium
Commons onboard the Citadel after the mission for 7,000 credits.

M-25 Hornet
Description: The M-25 Hornet is a long-range submachine gun created by
Cerberus. It is standard issue for Cerberus troops, who are trained to handle
the recoil from the gun's three-round bursts. Cerberus designed the Hornet to
conserve ammunition and provide cover-fire during prolonged conflicts.
Acquired: During Priority: The Citadel II - on the body of a C-Sec soldier near
the elevator's exit. Alternately, the weapon can also be purchased from the
Batarian State Arms terminal in the Docks Area onboard the Citadel after the
mission for 7,000 credits.

N7 Hurricane
Description: While some militaries pass on the Hurricane because of its lower
accuracy, the Alliance feels the gun's rapid firing rate offers excellent
suppressive fire. A disciplined marksman can use the fully automatic submachine
gun to chew through targets with alarming speed. Alliance officers were so
pleased with field results that the Hurricane is now many squadrons'
standard-issue SMG.
Acquired: Automatically as part of the Mass Effect 3: N7 Collector's Edition.


¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

3.6) Heavy Weapons (MEC306)
Unlike its predecessor, heavy weapons in Mass Effect 3 have a different purpose
and finite lifespan. Most heavy weapons, unless indicated otherwise, can only
be used during specific missions or setpieces, and cannot be permanently added
to the player's armory. Interestingly, it is possible to modify the game code
to allow access to several heavy weapons that were cut from the main game, but
they must be accessed through keybindings.

Geth Combat Software
Description: During Shepard's experience inside the geth consensus, Legion/Geth
VI provides "combat software" capable of removing the Reaper code. The software
is represented as a handheld energy weapon, so as to make it more "familiar"
and easy to use for Shepard. The ammunition replenishes while the weapon is not
in use.
Acquired: Automatically during the Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons mission.

Geth Spitfire
Description: Like the geth plasma shotgun, the Spitfire is not a true energy
weapon. Instead, the minigun magnetically flings clusters of superconducting
toroids. These donut-shaped projectiles are designed to shatter upon impact,
arcing electricity between the fragments and flash-converting them to plasma.
The gun's punishing, automatic blasts impact with the heat of a cutting torch.
The weapon's stopping power has garnered the attention of both Alliance and
Quarian intelligence, who theorize that the Spitfire may have been designed to
destroy other geth. Enough Spitfires have been found in the field to suggest
that the weapon is out of the prototyping stage, and that a schism among
synthetics may have forced them into production.
Acquired: During Rannoch: Admiral Koris, Priority: Rannoch and the Citadel DLC.

M-451 Firestorm
Description: Short-ranged, the Firestorm suppresses the regenerative
capabilites of vorcha and krogan. Effective against armor, shields, and biotic
barriers.
Acquired: During Attican Traverse: Krogan Team.

M-560 Hydra
Description: Before the introduction of the M-560 Hydra, missile launchers
either focused on bringing down a single armored target or simultaneously
neutralizing multiple unarmored opponents. With the Hydra, a soldier no longer
needs to choose between the two. The Hydra releases a barrage of miniature
missiles, each guided by an independent homing system that seeks out exposed
enemies. On impact, three shaped charges per missile explode in sequence. The
first overloads the target's kinetic barriers before the second destroys its
armor, clearing a path for the third warhead to detonate inside the target.
Acquired: During Tuchanka: Bomb, Priority: Thessia, the Omega DLC, Depoina:
Leviathan and Priority: Earth.

M-597 Ladon
Description: Marrying a Hydra missile launcher to a target identification
system based on Reaper code, the M-597 Ladon is a significant leap forward in
smart heavy weapons.
Acquired: In the Mass Effect 3: Wii U Special Edition, during Grissom Academy:
Emergency Evacuation - in the Orion Hall.

M-920 Cain
Description: The M-920 Cain is a portable particle accelerator surrounding an
array of dust-form element zero chambers. By subjecting its eezo chambers to
extreme positive and negative currents fueled by antimatter reactions, the
weapon projects mass effect fields that shear away at the target. The fields
warp ambient materials with such explosive force that the impact produces a
mushroom cloud. This has led Alliance marines to call the Cain a "nuke gun,"
though its detonations do not in fact produce fallout. The M-920 uses graphite
rods as neutron moderators, but they require frequent replacement to sustain
power. Fortunately, the omni-tool can refabricate most heavy weapon ammunition
into graphite rods. The amount of charge-up time is understandable as the
weapon is a juggernaut capable of unstoppable destructive power.
Acquired: During Priority: Earth - the Cain must be used to destroy the Hades
Cannon.

Reaper Blackstar
Description: The Reaper weapon nicknamed "Blackstar" is so advanced that
Alliance scientists can only offer speculation about how it works. The gun
appears to exploit an element zero core and mass effect fields to fire
gravitational singularities - micro black holes - that revert to their natural
lethality when they impact a solid object. Researchers theorize that the blast
tears apart the strong nuclear forces that hold the target's atoms together,
resulting in a localized fusion reaction in light atoms and a fission reaction
in heavy atoms. If that hypothesis is correct, the weapon alters nuclei, thus
changing the chemical composition of the target. It destroys organic tissue,
corrodes surviving armor, and leaves a visible trail of light-emitting
particles. Although some might argue that the Blackstar's single-launch
capability makes it a liability, its capacity for utter destruction is
essential when the user requires large-scale, instantaneous damage.
Acquired: In Priority: Palaven, Tuchanka: Turian Platoon and Mahavid:
Leviathan.

Sync Laser
Description: The weapon was designed by Admiral Daro'Xen vas Moreh using
reverse-engineered geth technology. It is connected with the Normandy SR-2's
weapon systems, and allows for laser-painting a target with pin-point accuracy,
for a precision bombing run once the target has been locked. EDI mentions,
however, that the weapon should only be used when necessary, as the geth will
quickly adapt their defenses to jam its signal.
Acquired: During Priority: Rannoch - this weapon is given to Shepard
automatically at the beginning of the mission.

===============================================================================
4) Weapon Mods (MEC400)
===============================================================================

Throughout the game and its respective DLC's, Shepard can pick up weapon
modification items that increase various aspects of the different weapon
classes in the game. Weapon mods can influence a gun's damage, piercing power,
stability and accuracy, among other aspects, and they can be discovered in all
missions throughout the game (except Prologue: Earth and Priority: Earth) or

increase the wearer's damage output, or improve their shields.
Acquired: After completing the Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons mission.
Effect: Increases shields by 5%, or power damage by 5%.

Intact Reaper Weapon
Description: The barrel of this Reaper weapon can be dismantled for further
study. If the miniaturized energy cells powering the gun's systems are taken
apart, it could lead to improvements in the damage a weapon can deal. However,
an examination of its heat venting systems could instead provide the means to
maximize thermal clip storage.
Acquired: After scanning Trategos, in the Pelion system in the Nimbus Cluster.
Effect: Increases weapon damage by 5%, or ammo capacity by 5%.

Intel from the Battle of Arcturus
Description: Telemetry captured from Arcturus Station shows just how quickly

analyze hostile fire in the data collected to increase weapon damage. They can
also spend processing power looking for ways to improve shielding against
Reaper weapons.
Acquired: After scanning Arcturus Station, located in the Arcturus system in
the Arcturus Stream.
Effect: Increases weapon damage by 5%, or shields by 5%.

Med Bay Surgery
Description: This minor surgery will erase all scarring from your cybernetic
implants. If you forego any cosmetic improvements, you will instead get a small
boost to your overall health.
Acquired: After completing the Citadel: Medical Supplies mission.
Effect: Increases health by 5%, or heals Shepard's scars. The "Heal Scars"
option is not available if Shepard healed his/her scars in Mass Effect 2.

Miniaturized Armor Capacitors
Description: This data was discovered and downloaded from inside the Geth
Consensus. Thousands of these miniaturized capacitors were installed beside
armor power cells, where they can instantly discharge a stored boost of energy.
This boost can be tweaked either to speed up shield regeneration, or the rate
at which tech, biotic, and combat powers can be used.
Acquired: After completing the Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons mission.
Effect: Increases shield recharge speed by 5%, or power recharge speed by 5%.

Prejek Paddle Fish
Description: This fish is a rare and valuable subspecies of the prejek
paddlefish, prized for its rich and savory flavor. The breed is endangered, and
a member of the Hanar Illuminated Primacy is offering a choice of rewards in
exchange for the fish.
Acquired: If Shepard asked Kelly Chambers to feed his/her fish and she survived
the Suicide Mission in Mass Effect 2, and meets her again at the Docks aboard
the Citadel. After completing a game with the Paddle Fish acquired and alive,
this intel will be available in a New Game+ after returning to the Normandy.
Effect: Increases weapon damage by 10%, or power damage by 10%.

Remains of a Reaper Destroyer
Description: To avoid the risk of indoctrination, remote drones have been sent
to study the salvaged remains of a Reaper destroyer. The drones can dig under
the outer hull, scanning circuits for technology that will increase the speed
at which tech, biotic, and combat abilities can be fired. Alternatively, the
Council has offered a Citadel-wide merchant discount for choosing the safer
option and demolishing the remains.
Acquired: After scanning Borr, located in the Asgard system in the Exodus
Cluster.
Effect: Increases power recharge speed by 5%, or gives a 5% store discount.

Research Data From Pragia
Description: Data on experimental gene therapies was buried in the ruins of the
Pragia Research Facility. While most gene therapy takes years to show results,
Pragia's scientists discovered a way to shorten the process. Two intact sample
vials have been recovered from the facility. The only limiting factor is that
no more than one such therapy can be applied per ten month period without
causing serious nerve damage to the recipient.
Acquired: After scanning Pragia, located in the Dakka system in the Nubian
Expanse.
Effect: Increases power recharge speed by 5%, or power damage by 5%.

Volus Intelligence Archives
Description: The salarian Special Tasks Force appears to have approached the
Vol Protectorate about codeveloping combat implants that require rare elements
found in volus space. The schematics for these implants include plans to
retrofit them to non-salarian species, should it be a sufficiently profitable
venture. One of these upgrades should be commissioned, although its
construction would be time-consuming and must be custom-made.
Acquired: After scanning Oma Ker, located in the Nura system in the Aethon
Cluster.
Effect: Increases power damage by 5%, or health by 5%.

Weapon Upgrade Kit
Description: This field kit can be used for a one-time upgrade to a variety of
weapons to increase ammo capacity or the potential damage dealt. Schematics
have been scanned into the Normandy's onboard computers.
Acquired: After scanning Verush, located in the Harsa system in Kite's Nest.
Effect: Increases ammo capacity by 5%, or weapon damage by 5%.
