M-22 Eviscerator Shotgun: Before reaching Orion Hall, you’ll find yourself in a large classroom with a shield generator inside. Fight the enemies that show up, then go through the door next to the shield generator. Turn left to find the M-22 Eviscerator on the bench.

Mass Effect 3 weapons

M-96 Mattock Assault Rifle: From the Eviscerator, go back into the classroom and take the door directly across from the one you just used (this is the path to your objective anyway). On the other side of that door you’ll see two orange benches back to back. The Mattock is on the right bench.

Mass Effect 3 Priority: Sur'Kesh Weapons

This gun is on the ground at the top of the stairs. It’s hard to miss.

Mass Effect 3 Priority: The Citadel Weapons

M-25 Hornet SMG: On the ground in front of the malfunctioning door.

Mass Effect 3 Arrae: Ex-Cerberus Scientists Weapons

Mass Effect 3 weapons

Disciple Shotgun: You’ll eventually meet one of the Ardat-Yakshi and have a short conversation. In the next room, take out the cannibals, then look for a smaller office to the right. Check the ground inside for this weapon.

Mass Effect 3 Priority: Geth Dreadnought Weapons

Mass Effect 3 weapons

Arc Pistol: When Tali joins you aboard the dreadnought, she’ll essentially give this weapon to you during the cutscene. Just make sure to grab it from the console. Don’t miss out on this one!
