The last one being Batarian Scrapper XX, of course.
Have u maxed your rare characters yet?
Don't be too happy about it..
I also just checked my manifest... only to find out there r like 50 rare weapons that is waiting to be unlocked.
Still missing most of the good ones like shadow, reegar and hornet.
Hope they drop before my Sandstorm Bulwark becomes X.
I can only hope because receiving those has chance less than 2% each time i pull expert pack.

I already got my Sandstorm Bulwark X. First of the variants reaching X, naturally...
I've got all of the Rare variants unlocked at least.

I still need about 50 rare character cards, which I'm picking up slowly in Advanced Packs as I try and max my uncommon weapons.

I think I got all rare chars to XX.
But I don't really look at my manifest anymore cause every time I look at the vomit of useless items to unlock, I get a mini heart attack. That can't be healthy. :dumb:

Um... why are you buying expert packs? i gave up on ur entirely.. and aiming to max rare/uncommob asap at least... I mean... You can give up, but you can modify your pack buying habits just slightly to give yourself at least a better end result to your "give up" manifest. This is why you buy reserves packs: Characters drop a lot, including UR kits. And it being the smallest pool (6 as opposed to 15, I think, or 12 vs 60 depending on how you look at it.), it's one that you can see the finish line on. And character UR cards provide the most benefit with the damage increases at 4% a piece, not to mention skill points assuming you don't have them to X. It was pretty nice when I got my last kit to XX. A large weight lifted. |

Characters on XX aren't that hard, Bulwark and Siphon Sandstorm are. I got many of them on level V so far. URs are similar in level, with my Salarian on VII.

Um... why are you buying expert packs? i gave up on ur entirely.. and aiming to max rare/uncommob asap at least... Just from the odds of you getting 2 rares solid rares and a rare/uncommon in 100Ks, they are still better, now unless you are buttkissingly lucky (in which you'll get URs to where you would change your mind anyway) you still get about 1-3 URs every 1m, with most cases being 19 rares and 1 UR, with occasional rare/uncommon bonuses. |

I hear what you guys are saying.. and I appreciate it. Here are the reasons I am buying Expert pack. 1. I usually play only 2 games a day.. and opening expert pack after each gold game keeps my interest up. (This is extremely important btw.. something to keep me going) 2. I am currently loving hoarding boosters. I don`t play Platinum... but I am enjoying near god mode in Gold using 20-30% boosters on XX characters 3. I gave up on URs Entirely as I said. The reason is because I am getting sick of my Krogan Gladiator XIII constantly leveling up... and most UR characters I know I won`t touch unless they get to level XV at least. 4. Each game is becoming expensive.. as I am running out of Survival pack while stocking 550 medi-gels. I need to make most by receiving more consumables per credit. 5. The UR drop rate on Expert pack is not bad. At least it does not piss me off when I only get one UR after spending 1 million credits where I feel like worst lucked loser. Right now.. the most important thing for me is to keep me going with this game. I am enjoying near God mode in gold difficulty.. and looking forward to unlocking some siphone weapons for now. I simply don`t care for URs. None of UR kits interest me... (mainly because there is no good Turian or Krogan) ...and I rather get some Siphon rare weapons over URs I currently and trying to level up while hoarding boosters as many as possible to allow me to continue to enjoy god mode. To me... URs don`t exist anymore. I simply.. do not care... |

I don't play very often either and I also follow the Expert pack strategy + regular endorphin hit of buying packs for a week or two on end, bouncing back to premiums every now and then. My thinking is - because Experts keep you well-stocked on boosters it is easier to fund this approach and get to a truly platinum viable rare gun the quickest. Once there, and I can reliably hit platinums, I can go back into a mode where I can buy a good pack after every mission. Right now my characters are okay for plat, but my guns feel really underpowered and Expert packs seem like a good way to get there. Fewer URs can even be thought of as a feature and not a bug as I don't get distracted by my Eagle I when I could be drawing a Siphon Equalizer or Hornet.
I occasionally think about buying Advanced packs under the same line of thinking. I've basically ignored them so far and bought only Basic packs very early to get some X characters, and then Premium and Expert almost exclusively. But that just feels too inefficient credits-wise - Experts are about as "bad" as I can tolerate from a long-term strategic perspective.

4. Each game is becoming expensive.. as I am running out of Survival pack while stocking 550 medi-gels. I need to make most by receiving more consumables per credit. I'm sure you already know this, but you could start using some of those revives instead of first aids. Most of the pugs I encounter seem to forget they have first aid packs. Also, you can buy them individually for 5 MF apiece. I assume you've been taking advantage of siphon weapons. They can really reduce your need for first aid packs. A perfectly sane response to the Unlockalypse. |

Reserves Packs after 1.09 have allowed me to get my Avenger to XVII. Operator is at V though...
But, I have a Shadow Siphon IX, so I don't really mind.
I'd say in your situation, the best way to open stuff (assuming max payout for Gold) is: Play 2 games; 1 Reserves Pack + 1 Jumbo Supply. Repeat. If you are using all of your First Aid Kits per game you are playing overly aggressive and should perhaps dial it back a bit. If you condition yourself to only use 5 consumables per 2 games, you will be in equilibrium and won't go lower. If you play more conservatively, you will end up gaining consumables.
