The second column shows how much is needed if all available resources are collected from missions and assignments. The table below shows the total amount of each resource needed to buy every upgrade in the game. Extended Fuel Cells allow Normandy to gain an additional 50% fuel cell capacity, for a total of 150% fuel capacity.

(Optional) Recruit Samara and ask about upgrades.

Recruit Thane and ask him about upgrades.

Advanced Mineral Scanner will be unlocked which allows you to scroll faster while scanning.

You need him to unlock the tech lab (and all subsequent research options). One upgrade doubles probe capacity from 30 to 60 the other upgrade allows the scanner to move more quickly, speeding up the process. Two upgrades may be purchased that directly affect the planet scanning process.

For planets with speech-based radio transmissions, the repeated speech fragment will become clearer (less muffled) the closer the scanner is to the location of the blip. At this point you can go onto the planet to do the mission.

When you find a small white blip, you then launch a probe at it. Then, once you start scanning the planet, there will be a white line pointing at the direction of the mission. Upon entering orbit, EDI will tell you she has detected an anomaly. Scanning can also be used to discover loyalty missions and N7 assignments on certain planets. Platinum is used to upgrade shotguns, sniper rifles and medical equipment.

Palladium is used to upgrade cybernetics, shields, heavy pistols, and armor. Iridium is used to upgrade assault rifles, sub-machine guns, and heavy weapons. There are four kinds of mineral resources in Mass Effect 2.Įlement Zero is used for biotic and engineering upgrades. Resources are found by scanning, probing and mining planets in the galaxy. Resources are required to complete research projects that upgrade weapons, equipment, and the Normandy. Each planet will start out at a certain abundance, which will decrease as minerals are successfully harvested. There are several levels of mineral abundance for a planet.
