in mass effect 1 (ps4) i went around doing stuff to earn creds to buy the mark VIII spectre weapons, but once i saved up around 2 million i went to the c-cec store to find they all disappeared and i cant find them either there or the store on the normandy.

Having played the original Mass Effect, I was looking forward to purchasing the Spectre Gear (available from the CSec Req Officer). The first time I went to the vendor, I did actually see them but I obviously didn't have the credits to get them. When I revisited it later I noticed they had stopped showing up. I have since then passed 1 mil credits, still don't have It showing up in stores for me.(I'm also at a point in the game where level VII gear is dropping normally, so I'm guessing it's a glitch).Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's tied to an achievement that is no longer associated with the game? Either way I really hope this gets fixed because it may not be impacting my normal difficulty playthrough that much, I DEFINITELY want those weapons if I decide to do a higher difficulty playthrough.

Apparently there’s a workaround until the bug is fixed. It’s on Reddit, I’ll share the link below: https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/nd5g2t/bug_workaround_spectre_gear_not_in_vendor_bug/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmfOthers have also reported that it returns after completing the Virmire mission.

I can confirm that this bug exists.There is a workaround, but it's dependent on you having a hard save earlier in the game before you become a Spectre. This is for PC. Not sure about consoles.The workaround is as follows:- Hard save your game.- Load up the earlier save.- Sit through Shepard's Spectre initiation speech in the Citadel Tower.- Visit C-Sec requisition officer in the C-Sec section of the Wards.- Ensure the Spectre gear is in his inventory.- Load up your current save.- Spectre gear should now be available for purchase from the guy on the Normandy, and the C-Sec guy in the Citadel.Note: In the original game, it was required to have 1000,000 credits on your first playthrough before Spectre gear became available. I've no idea if this is still the case with the Legendary Edition. If you follow the steps above, and still can't see the gear for sale, it's possibly due to you having less than 1000,000 credits.

The workaround on reddit worked for me, thanks for posting that.I wish they would also do something about Shepard's lack of stamina when running with weapons holstered. I'm not sure how a super fit soldier can't manage to sprint for more than 3 seconds 😃

I get this bug too on PS4.For Spectre Master gear VII, this should appear in C-Sec acquisitions after becoming a Spectre. But playing through the game, it never appears even when I reach 1,000,000 credits which was the old requirement in the original games. The Master Gear X, should appear after Virmire. Again this does not happen.SO THERE IS A BUG HERE that developers need to fix.However, as a TEMPORARY WORKAROUND, you can make make the Master gear appear by doing the following:1. Load up a save game just before you become a Spectre. OR, if you did not keep a save game before becoming Spectre then start a new game with a new character and play the game until you become a Spectre.2. Save the game (unlikely to be needed but just in case)3. As soon as you are a Spectre, head straight to the C Sec Acquisitions. The store will refresh and you will see the master gear in stock4. If you don't see it, load the previous save and try again until you see the master gear in stock.5. Now load your main game current save. Head to C-sec and you should now see the master gear in stock.The above workaround was posted by Xecil on Reddit.https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/nd5g2t/bug_workaround_spectre_gear_not_in_vendor_bug/

The specific gear names are the HMWA, HMWSG, HMWP, & HMWSR. They are arguably the best weapons in the game.

@CuriousValkyrie I'm having the same issue. They were available the first time I went to CSec and the guy onboard the Normandy, but no longer available on either.
