.3G.01. Shopping in the Citadel

Don't break the bank! Learn what's worth buying in the Citadel shops in Mass Effect Legendary Edition, from essential upgrades to quirky souvenirs.

Hey there! So, you're looking to do some shopping on the Citadel in Mass Effect Legendary Edition? Awesome! Just a heads-up, if you're just starting out, your credit balance might be a bit… cozy. But don't sweat it, you can always come back later. The main thing is to grab upgrades that actually help *you* out, not just every shiny thing you see.

Let's talk souvenirs first. You know those ship models? You've probably seen them already. Now, about the fish… if you buy them, you *have* to remember to feed them after every mission or assignment. If you forget, even when the game doesn't prompt you to return to the Normandy, they'll sadly kick the bucket. You can buy more, but if this is your first time through, credits are tight. Pro-tip: if you get friendly with Kelly, she'll auto-feed your fish while she's on the ship. Phew, enough about aquatic life!

For actual upgrades, I really suggest snagging the Off-Hand Ammo Pack, unless you're rocking some sweet DLC armor that already gives you a boost. The Life Support Webbing is another solid, cheap choice, especially if you like the N7 armor. Most other upgrades are pretty pricey, likely more than you can afford right now. You can totally figure out the priority for the rest based on your class, the weapons you like to use, and who's in your squad.
