Spectre - Master Gear
Talk17this wiki
Spectre - Master Gear items are prototype equipment not available through regular vendors, and are essentially the ultimate weapons of Mass Effect, standing head and shoulders above anything else in the entire game. Only two merchants in the game sell this gear, the Normandy Requisitions Officer aboard the SSV Normandy and the C-Sec Requisitions Officer in C-Sec Academy.
If you have completed Admiral Ahern's wager on Pinnacle Station, Spectre gear (up to tier X) is also randomly given out at your apartment at your PC there (for 220,000 credits).
To gain access to VII-level Spectre - Master Gear from the Alliance Requisition Officer or the C-Sec Requisition Officer, you must first unlock the "Rich" achievement by amassing one million credits. To gain the X-level gear, you need to unlock "Rich" Achievement, and be level fifty. The VII-level gear is available to all new careers once unlocked, but each character has to be level fifty in order to unlock X-level.
The name of each Spectre - Master Gear weapon (eight total, with one level VII and one level X of each of the four weapon types) begins with "HMW" and is immediately followed by one or two letters denoting its weapon type — A for Assault Rifles, P for Pistols, SG for Shotguns, and SR for Sniper Rifles.

Trivia
Edit
- Visually, the emblem for the Master Gear (the arch with three stars within it) is very similar to the emblem of the Systems Alliance, which is the same arch with a silhouette of Earth in it.
