So 10d6x100 Jumbo Equipment Packs have not managed to keep my consumable stockpiles at levels where they make a difference on Gold or especially Plat. I haven't seen a Cyclonic III (and forget IV because #unmaxedmanifestproblems) through probably 20 matches and an Incendiary Rounds III in nearly as long. It seems lame to just zap them into existence via Space Magic!, but my impression of serious Gold or Plat matches (as opposed to lolpug matches where everyone wipes on wave 2) is that you are expected to have all of these available and slap them on as needed to improve the team's odds of survival. Clearly not everyone agrees with this, but I don't like dragging down a team on Plat or Gold just because the trollstore felt like not giving me a high-level consumable for the better part of a month.* Thoughts/Encouragement/Objections/Flames? * Or because of L2P, but I'm working on that. Only one more upgrade until the Revenant X, baby!  |

Buy the Jumbo Equipment Packs to max out your Missiles, Medi Gel, Ops Packs, and Thermal Clip Packs. Then start buying Arsenal Packs (because those won't give you basic human character cards like Premium Spectre Packs will) and guarantee 3 Silvers and 2 Golds. You'll be swimming in Cyclonics and Incendiary Ammos in no time.

If you have access to the console via tilde ~ then type giveallmatchconsumables. They work in a very specific way though and they're touchy. So there's a learning curve to it. It gives you ONE of them. And only ONE, and only ever ONE. So if you have 64 Cyclonic IV's you'll use them all until you get to zero, then when you type in "giveallmatchconsumables" you'll get ONE. ...ONE.  ! Also sometimes you lose a few when you join a lobby, so always check that they are there before hitting green. |

As far as I am concerned after I maxed my manifest I never wanted to see the store again. Ever. And now I basically don't. All while having the equipment I expect I should have tonnes of after playing as much as I have. And frankly I did have a tonne of cash by the time I maxed just sitting there waiting to be spent. Now I don't have to spend the time in the store. Just typing... |

Count me another supporter of zapping them into existence using space magic. There's no point punishing yourself by trying to get match consumables in a 'legit' way when, as you've so adeptly documented, the store was simply never designed for it. I say, get the consumables you want to use and have fun with them.
Edit: If the means suggested above seem too meta, then it's possible to edit store packs using ME3 Mod Maker/Manager and create your own custom pack containing the consumables you want at the price you want. That way you can buy them through the store using the credits you've earned. Not quick or easy, but possible.

What I'm reading (well, want to read), is that the command will actually always give me ONE MORE of everything no matter how much of anything I currently have. So if I had 64 of something, I'd have 65 after using it. Yes? |
