Until they balance the game most guns are going to suck. But, the best value for money if you're using Andromeda points is the Premium Pack.

Go to a casino. You might get something worthwhile in return for your money and not aid the egregious practice of micro transactions.

My advice: Don't spend any more money on this game than you already have. Even if you've only got an hour of playtime a day, it's no competitive game so you don't actually lose anything and don't have to keep up with anyone.
In fact, by the time your manifest has progressed significantly that way there'll probably have been quite a few balances/fixes that'll make the game much more enjoyable.

Premium Packs for 300 Points.
Can't recommend spending real money at this point though... not because I personally wouldn't spent real money but because the balance sucks and most weapons totally suck. You might even get 50 or 100 UR cards and they all suck because they are not a Hurricane or Piranha. So if you really want to spend money I'd at least wait for some balancing to happen (or not happen and then you can save your money).

Packs of gum. Packs of cigarettes. Packs of rags. Packs of wolves. Packs of ramen. Back Pack. Fanny Pack.
Any of the above can be resold for net zero, profit, or be useful. They cost money, and and have tangible value in the real world.
You can pay for the best guns, get a full manifest with money, great. If you have the disposable income and want to do that, that's your money. I can't tell you not to.
But, you are supporting and paying for things that don't work better than anything you can get for free with a little bit of playing.
And, if you suck at the game but have "Teh AswumGun" X but can't kill with it, how is that a good thing for you?
I am not saying that you suck at the game. I am saying: if you don't suck at the game, save your money, at least until they patch a few things and add balance.
But, why should you listen to me? I don't play this game. I am a Salarian/Drell crossbreed that got Geth implants... the AI was not ready for this.

I thank you for having the courage to face the wrath of the uninformed by admitting you are going to spend cash on the game and I thank you and others for supporting the game so that dlcs will be coming down the pipe.

Whaddaya think? if the bronze and sliver weapons aren't capped I wouldn't spend money on the premium packs because the store will troll you with them, but never spend real money on anything other than premium packs its just not worth it / I guess its all personal preference I bought the super expensive version of the game so I get a free multiplayer pack every week (although so far its just been trolling me) and I might cash flow dependant buy some packs in the future but I have too much other stuff to spend money on at the moment....

Buy a pack of strippers. Just be sure they've had their shots.
Seriously premium packs are the way to go if you're going to spend real money. If I had bad luck I would bitch to EA and likely get more packs.

I still remember this one person saying he unlocked everything in ME3MP using cash... he said he makes so much money playing game would not make sense with his time efficiency. He said he spend like $2500 or something...
All that said, there is nothing wrong with spending cash on MEAMP. It`s definitely not the worst way to spend your money. lol
If u r spending money. Go for premium pack. Because only thing that matters is how fast you max out your ultra rares.

If your commons and uncommons aren't maxed pretty high chance you will max those with the premium packs. That should be common knowledge by now...

Thanks for the advice. To clear up a few things -
I'm not a bad player. I played Platinum on ME3 and I play Gold on MEA. I just don't have as much time to play that I want to grind out the credits to get packs the legit way.
Oh, and I'm a regular around here, I just made this account to keep the rage as disdain directed at my Kett Behemoth account rather than my real account.
Anyway... if I buy a bunch of Premiums without having my Uncommons maxed, am I going to get Uncommons dropping in what should be the Rare/UR slots? Because that would suck.
And finally I'm proud to support free DLC for everyone and (hopefully) free coffee for the MEA developers.

I think you can get common/uncommon items instead of what would otherwise be a consumable, but your rare draws are unaffected. The premiums I got from rewards/Super Deluxe Edition all worked this way. Be warned, however, that some people are reporting getting grade III and IV consumables in the rare slots of premiums, in lieu of actual rare unlocks. The following is actual footage recorded when customers tried to have EA Support weigh in on this issue:

If you are trying to get a specific weapon or character then dont bother, I spent £7 (1000 points) last night in the hopes I may get a Revenant from the 5 Expert packs I was able to get....my hopes were dashed, best thing I got was the Huntress unlock...fecking Indra and Venom taking my Revenant spot
