You need to pull the same character a bunch of times to get that option.
So every time you pull a Turian Sentinel, you get one extra customization option.
I just spammed the Recruit Packs today so that I could level up the common starting weapons to X.
Now those will not show up in any other packs, correct? Are there any other mods that I are also Common that buying the Recruit packs further will level up?
Just wondering if I should now move onto Veteran Packs or Spectre Packs exclusively.

Well I forgot Level 20 is the max, and I played a couple rounds with my lvl 20 vanguard before I realized I wasn't ranking up anymore. :lol
So what's a fun class to try out next? I want a class with biotic powers...and probably a class where using the assault rifle is optimal. I was thinking an Infiltrator or Sentinel. Are they fun classes? I do have the Salarian Infiltrator unlocked.

Fuck, I just realized I had data tracking off. Whelp, one more round of Reapers it is.
What now? Is there an option I missed on X360?

These are all the common items you can get from the recruit packs and yes, once you get a weapon to X, they won't show up anymore, but the game will go back into the pool of common items and find another. Also, weapon mods go to 5 not X

No, I just turned it off when I installed. I think it is automatically on. Extras, options, online to access it.
Must be on to get the commendation pack credit.

All of you dudes having trouble with Banshees do know that one shot from the missile launcher will kill them right?
And from the looks of it, everyone gets a missile launcher. So if eveyone in your group has 3 missiles, that's 12 large enemies that can be taken down in one hit.
Utilize your missiles well.

In Silver and Gold especially there are more big enemies than your group has launchers (and 2 is the default for folks without the upgrade, not 3).
What I've noticed is that most people I play with either don't have any missiles on them, don't want to use them, or wastes them way too early.
I mean, Cobra Missiles are essentially get out of jail free cards. And yet so many people don't take advantage. Yesterday when I beat the reapers on silver I was the only guy who used missiles the entire game. Even during extraction, Banshees surrounding us, not one single missile fired. We barely made it out alive. Your shitty assault rifles can only do so much people!
Got a chance to test full biotics. 2 Drell and 2 Asari adepts. The group's line-of-sight was a wall of explosions. Enjoying it before it gets the nerf bat.
Drell - Reave has no travel time.
Adept/Sentinel - Throw has negligible cooldown.
Ran into a bug where a grab registers, but fails. The enemy becomes invincible. I also ran into the solution. Get it to follow you over cover and it will die.
I have killed enough Brutes. The rest of you better get it over 1m.
*The maintenance yesterday supposedly fixed the store problem.

Vote to kick them and usually the other people will too. Most of the time it gets them to ready up.

It's hilarous and frustrating when level 1 players joining Gold session and they are "ready". Cannon fodder.
Or hitting your team mate
I've had SILVER rounds that have 5 or 6 banshees at the same time, I remember wasting two rockets in one round just to hit a pair of banshees with each.
Banshees + ravagers + brutes :|

thanks!
Last night. Silver. Extraction Round.
two banshees. next to each other.

Fired rocket, hoping for success. Banshees do this:
I _ _ _ _ I
missile flies right through and kills 2 marauders in the background. FML.
Oh yeah. There are some groups you know are just doomed from the start; I'm to the point where I know if I'm going to waste any Medi Gel or revives pretty much before Wave 1 starts.
The annoying thing is how many low N7 rated people are taking a crack at Silver Reapers because of the promotion. I've had some insanely difficult games this weekend due to this.
sentinel are usually at the bottom in the games i played.
highest is usually infiltrator
is there a reason why you name your character when the name doesn't even show up in MP? or is it for the promote thing for the sp?
I should try him, what is ur build?

Thanks to the spreadsheet, hoping to get every single Common item and then soon the others. My assumption is that if I do get every common, I would only receive a combination of a uncommon or ammo when purchasing a recruit pack. Crossing my fingers that this will plan out nicely.
Only 55 more common items to go...

What are the tactics? I've been mucking around with infiltrators and basically hanging around with the widow and picking enemies off or running like hell. I'm usually at the bottom.
Yeah, by far my favorite class so far. Playing on silver/gold with him is a lot of fun.

Can someone clarify what the numbers in the power evolutions mean? What's with the 1,2,3 but then 4,5,6 or 4,5?

I hope not. I don't want to play the campaign and run into the elite N7 squad of n, Bob, ,,. asdf, and derp.
Every power is the same from rank 1 to 3. At rank 4, 5, and 6, you can choose one of two trees to develop the skill in.
I'll assume it's the skill points needed?
I came to the same conclusion.
The only problem is that you still receive human characters even after fully maximizing their customization options -- which is a waste. But theoretically, if you max out commons and they don't show up anymore in packs then recruit packs will yield a lot more uncommon and rare items.
No, it's how the skills branch.
Example:
I have a made up power called Derp.
Ranks 1, 2, and 3 of the power is called Derp 1, Derp 2, and Derp 3 respectively. Everyone who levels up Derp to rank 3 will have the same Derp build of Derp 1, Derp 2, and Derp 3. As a result, there's no need to list the 1-3 ranks.
Starting at rank 4, I can level Derp up into Damage or Recharge Speed, but not both. So if I were to notate it like it is in the site, it would be written as Derp: Damage (4) if I went for Damage at rank 4. The same is true of ranks 5 and 6.
It becomes obvious if you can find a picture of the power evolution tree or something.
Anybody?
Now I understand the numbers in that page. I know how the skill tree works but I didn't quite make sense of how the person wrote the optimal skills and their numbers. Especially when they ignore the Combat Drone's 4th, 5th and 6th skills (though I guess that's because that's not important for the build) and the Alliance Training skill tree only going up to 5 (probably for the same reason).
That means they didn't take Combat Drone past 3.
At most, you can max out 4 powers with no other points leftover.
Erm, Turian Sentinels? Tech bursts aren't as reliable as biotic explosions (anecdotal) which would give you a reason to bring an Assault Rife rather than a lighter SMG.
When in gold, they are the one who actually does any decent damage..lol
All I do is spam overload, my best heavy pistol is M3 Predator VI>_>
Sentinel isn't that good, and infiltrator is better off as snipers
Play Asari Adept with Heavy pistol

Switching between my Quarian Engineer and Asari Adept for gold runs. Stasis bubble is such amazing CC.
For this brute thing, do we have to kill numerous brutes as a group(assists), or alone(as in you get kill credit).
Made my Sentinel into a Falcon/Claymore wielding Glacier. Hard to top score as a Sentinel. Also, Krogan Soldiers destroy Banshees.

man, i just got the game and want to get into multiplayer but i have NO idea what the hell you're all talking about. i'm intimidated by this whole thing, leveling and customizing seems very complex..
gimme some tips, what i should do and perhaps more impotantly what i SHOULDN'T do when i start the multiplayer. i don't want to be an ass who ruins other people's sessions by doing stupid shit, heh.
and what are these packs people talk about?

1)Press quick match, scroll to the bottom where it says difficulty: Any, and change it to Bronze.
2)Level up your powers and mess with your weapons before entering quick match so you can ready up ASAP.
3)Don't stress over making the perfect build; at level 20 you get what is essentially a free respec for your entire class.
4)Go for objectives. If it tells you to stand in a circle to "upload data," it's best to go into that circle to contribute rather than wander around shooting stragglers.
When you select quick game, go to the bottom and change difficulty from any to bronze.
Engineer/adept is probably easiest to play. Packs are just unlock items for you to use.

Fuck. The silver match that didn't count was cake, but my teams keep getting fucked up on like round 7 or 8 now.
Oh, and I completed a round of Geth where the leader Surprise! switched the enemies on me while I was in th elobby.

Drell Adept=top tier
I haven't placed any lower than first in score ever since I started using the Drell, and I'm capable of carrying teams when need be. As long as you play the class right ( don't underestimate cluster grenades!) you'll do great.

I don't know, but I hope not, at least not before he got is credits.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I'm thinking Firebase Dagger might be the best map for beating the Reapers on Silver. I'll have to try it when I get home, but from my last few games with out species I'm thinking it will be. It's pretty large, has a lot of bottlenecks for the enemy, and very open. Against a primarily melee class that should be a huge advantage.
Ok. I don't mind using the sniper, I just prefer the AR
