Mass Effect 3 weapons give you access to over thirty different arms during the course of the game, with a mixture of familiar shooters from previous instalments in Mass Effect Legendary Edition and brand new additions to your arsenal. Whether you’re looking for a shotgun for up-close combat or a sniper rifle to pick off enemies from a distance, there are plenty of options to choose from. However, many of these have to be found in the field during missions, and if you overlook them then they’ll be lost forever, so we’ve got a complete Mass Effect 3 weapons walkthrough to make sure you don’t miss a thing.

It’s important to note that while some of the Mass Effect 3 weapons become available at shops if you miss them during missions, this is not the case for most items, so you’ll want to use the walkthrough portion on page 2 of this guide to avoid missing anything. Alternatively, a small number of weapons are only available in shops, which are also marked below.
On the first page of this guide you’ll find a rundown of all the Mass Effect 3 weapons in the game (not including DLC or pre-order bonuses) along with their stats and locations. On the following page you’ll find a complete walkthrough of the entire game with more thorough descriptions and screens of where to find everything, in the order we found to be most natural.
