Mass Effect 3 - Starting character

[AdrianHD]

I played for a few hours yesterday and decided to use my 240 microsoft/Xbox bucks to get some good weapons. NOT! I tried the "Special" pack and got the crappy "Disciple" shotgun. Later I decided to buy the recruit package and got the "Graal Striker" which is slow as fugg, but deals death with one shot.
So, needless to say, I was and still am PIIIIIISSSEEED that I actually wasted real money (could have used it on Vudo movie) and got a better weapon with the frigg'n credits accrued from simply playing the game.

I do have part of my war map at 100%, which helps my readiness a LOT!
Since I'm stuck on the campaign part with Shep trying to kill the Reaper with the orbital laser (keep dying), I've decided to step up my multiplayer game.

Never spend money on those micro-transactions, man. I could've told you that. Just get a group of friends and play a Silver challenge. You'll get about 30,000 credits if you complete it.

Also, some different advice for that part. Strafe the opposite way that you want to run and when the beam starts shooting roll the opposite direction. The beam tracks which way you're headed so you have to psych it out. You can continue painting the Reaper as you roll out of the way.
