Mass Effect (PC) Guide › Essentials › Appendix II-Merchants

Appendix II-Merchants

This appendix is meant to be a visual reference for where and when you can get Static Inventory items and upgrades from the various merchants and manufacturers.

Note that each merchant also has a large inventory of randomly generated items that for obvious reasons we cannot cover here.

Unlock conditions for merchandise are generally two types. Some are event-specific, as is the case when Shepard becomes a Spectre and new gear becomes available.

The majority of remaining unlock conditions are level-specific and become available as the squad gains experience throughout their careers.

A license only needs to be bought once for each manufacturer and you get permanent access to all their products.

Tip

Purchasing gear from Normandy’s Requisitions Officer will save you credits. Also, he usually carries very good items, though not always.
