Mass Effect 3 Guide: Where to Find the Batarian State Arms Shop
If you’re hunting for specific gear in Mass Effect 3, Batarian State Arms is one of those shops that can be easy to miss. The store is tucked away in the Docks: Holding Area refugee camp, and it’s placed in the Batarian section of the camp—called Cargo Hold: C. This particular area is the one closest to the Security Checkpoint.
To reach it from your ship, you’ll need to visit the terminal at the Citadel first. After that, you can pull up the store from the Alliance Requisitions Procurement Interface while on the Normandy.
Quick checklist before you shop
There are two important notes to keep in mind when using Batarian State Arms:
- Omega DLC items show up at this shop only if you didn’t already purchase them from Harrot’s Emporium during that DLC’s Mission run.
- The Kestrel Helmet won’t be available immediately. It appears only after you finish “Citadel: Batarian Codes” with Balak present, and you successfully use a Charm or Intimidate option during that sequence.
