Yeah, and that shit sprays all over the place, even with the superb stability of my Turian Soldier >_>. 

I prefer my Shuriken X over it anyday

By the way, they added a new permanent pack to the lot. It's called the Premium Veteran Pack, it costs 33000 credits and adds 2 uncommons and a high chance for a rare. Been getting a lot of Sniper Barrels with it.

Ok, last time I checked was around 4PM PST (haven't been able to get on my 360 since then)

@lestadark: Man sounds like those packs are actually rather worthless :/   Although I do like the sound of that Premium Vetern Pack...in my experience Spectre Packs (other than granting me the Widow) are pretty useless.

That one I saw on Youtube.

Spectre packs have been good to me, especially since i'm now mostly playing Silver matches and I can farm them fast (A silver usually lasts 22-23 minutes for me). But the Premium Veterans are interesting as well, i'm gonna keep on buying them until it drops the Quarian Infiltrator (with 2 Silvers, the chances are higher).

I wonder if the DLC is going to be multiplayer based (and free :P!).

I love the multiplayer, however, more modes, would be... even better. And maybe a ladder with actual teams like starcraft. I'd even pay for those. Can't say the same about Single player DLC though.

can someone tell me what promoting does. Do I have to get a character to like 20 or something?

I've noticed that whatever you want from packs is what you end up almost never getting. It's uncanny how much crap I get from packs in that game.

Indeed. I'm desperate to find the Quarian Infiltrator and the Black Widow, and for all the time invested and packs bought, they're still elusive to me. I'll just give up trying and just keep on adding stuff to my collection.

Yes, you have to get to level 20. Promoting characters resets all the characters in that class to level 1, and adds a 75 point war asset to all of your single player files.

FOR EVERYONE ELSE:

I have a system I'm working through in order to get basically all the unlocks, though it's going to take some time. The way it works is that when characters are at level 20 and you get all their customization unlocks,y ou don't get those character cards anymore. When weapons get to level 10, you don't get those anymore. Mods at level 5, same thing.

You can see where this is going.

When my Vanguard is back up to 16 or 17 I'll start farming Silver, and at 20 I'll jump into Gold. I'm going to spend all of my money, at the start, on Recruit Packs, so that I can unlock all the base-level stuff faster. After that it's going to be the Premium Veteran Packages, so I can get all the Silver unlocks faster.

This will take some time, but it seems the most efficient way to do it. And the Katana X is a lot better than any other shotgun at level I, just like the Mantis X is better than the Widow I - weaker, sure, but also faster, and weighing about a third as much.

That isn't particularly useful then right? Unless you want to rebuild your characters without, using a rebuild card unlock/whatever.
