Mass Effect 3: How to Unlock Weapon Mods in Multiplayer

In Mass Effect 3 for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, unlocking weapon mods to use in multiplayer games is based on a card system. You earn points to buy card packs (or you can use real money if you’d like), open the packs, and you get to use whatever you get from those packs when you play online.

Weapon mods only come in common and uncommon form, so you really only need to purchase recruit packs to get them. Obviously you’ll find weapon mods in the veteran and spectre packs, but they won’t be nearly as cost effective if you’re only looking for weapon mods.
