Guide your shopping on the Citadel in Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Learn about souvenirs, fish, and essential armor upgrades to spend your credits wisely.
The Citadel is your go-to spot for some sweet gear and unique souvenirs in Mass Effect, but let's be real – if you're just starting out, your credit balance might be looking a little sad. Don't worry, you can always pop back later to snag what you need. Remember, you don't have to buy every single upgrade; focus on the ones that'll actually make a difference for your character.
Souvenirs are mostly for show and will appear in your Captain's Cabin. You've likely already seen the Ship Models on Omega. Now, about those fish: if you decide to buy some, you'll need to remember to feed them after every mission or assignment, even if the game doesn't prompt you to return to the Normandy. If you forget, they'll sadly kick the bucket. You can buy them again from the same vendor, but on your first playthrough, credits are tight. Pro tip: if you get friendly with Kelly, she'll automatically feed your fish for you while she's on the ship. Okay, enough about aquatic life!
When it comes to actual upgrades, I highly recommend grabbing the Off-Hand Ammo Pack, unless you're rocking a DLC armor set. The Life Support Webbing is another solid, budget-friendly choice from the N7 armor line. Other upgrades can get pretty pricey, likely more than you can afford right now. You'll have to decide the priority for those based on your class, favorite weapons, and squadmates.
