[edit] Save-Reload Glitch for Merchants

Essentially this glitch is used to make the inventories of different merchants reset. This gives the player the chance to acquire different items from merchants by simply reloading, instead of traveling to a different planet and returning. The glitch should work on all merchants, although variations of the glitch may be required for the Normandy Requisitions Officer. It is particularly useful if you're searching for the more elusive or higher level items - particularly armor - such as those manufactured by the Geth Armory or Kassa Fabrication.

[edit] Performing the glitch

[edit] Standard

To perform the glitch you simply need to travel to whichever merchant you wish to purchase from: Morlan, for example. Before talking to him - or any other merchants - save your game. After saving continue to view the items as usual. If the item you're looking for is there, then buy it, equip it to whoever needs it and carry on; you'll need to leave the planet and return to start the glitch again. However if you wish the inventory to reset so that different items are on sale, just reload and check their inventory again.

[edit] Normandy Requisitions Officer

Because the inventory reset works differently for the NRO, the standard of saving before speaking may not work. If this is the case there are different parameters that will make sure it does reset.

• The inventory will reset automatically after you complete each mission world for the first time.
• If you're doing assignments or there are no mission worlds you wish to complete, go back to either Feros or Noveria (if you've completed them), or the Citadel. Spend time on the planet conversing and traveling. Next, go to any of the sidequest worlds (even one you've completed an assignment on) and, after landing and returning to the Normandy, go to the cargo bay and save before talking to the NRO. The glitch will then work as standard.

[edit] Notes

[edit] License

It's important to make sure that you have the correct license in order for the corresponding equipment to spawn from that manufacturer.

[edit] Item Rarity

You may have to do the glitch many times in order to get the rarer items in the game as they have a much lower percentage of being in stock. The more licenses you have will also decrease the percentage of getting a particular item from a manufacturer.

[edit] Correct Merchant

Some merchants are better than others for stocking what you may be looking for. Morlan and Opold stock alien armor, whereas the C-Sec Requisitions Officer and the Normandy Requisitions Officer are more likely to have human gear.
