📋 About This Mod
There is currently a bug in the Legendary Edition of Mass Effect 1 where Spectre gear is not showing up in the C-Sec Academy Requisitions Store if you go too long between becoming a Spectre and visiting the store. This is a save game just before the Spectre initiation ceremony. Become a Spectre and then immediately go to the C-Sec Academy Requisitions Store and check to see that there is spectre gear available. Save your game in a new slot. Once the spectre gear has shown up in this save, you should be able to go back to your own career save and find that the spectre gear has been populated there as well.
This save game isn't intended to be played past this point, and was sped-run to get to the initiation ceremony with all side content ignored.

💡 Beginner Tips

- Back up your current save before overwriting, so you can revert if needed.
- If the save doesn't appear in-game, restart the game or verify the file is in the correct folder.
