Lab Technicians - Earn research points at regular intervals.


Improved Development II - Further increases Research Data gain from all sources by an additional 10%, making it a total of 20%.Improved Development - Increases Research Data gain from all sources by 10%.Accelerated Research - Reduces the amount of time it takes to earn research points.Research Data is acquired/affected by several of the Science cryo pod perks. The same item to be scanned in a different location or on another planet may also be able to be scanned again for additional RD. Sometimes multiple items of the same type can be scanned in the same location and each one will give RD. Don't assume that scanning one item means that the item is forever known to Ryder from now on.There are lots of places that items have been hidden that are just out of line-of-sight but yield large RD when scanned. Look under and around items for scanning opportunities as well.Lots of items are hidden on the top of buildings which are out of line-of-sight that can be scanned for RD. Make sure to jump up on top of buildings (or other high places).Most of the time this is true and RD is awarded but not always. Not everything that turns orange when initially scanned will award RD.Large amounts of RD (50 or 100) will show on screen as a displayed reward. If an item awards RD, the applicable RD icon will flash and light up gold colored, expand in size for a quick moment, and then the total RD amount will increase.Ryder should scan everything in a new environment to search for research data.įor detailed mechanics, see Scanner (Mass Effect: Andromeda). Ryder gains most of the research data that can be found by using the scanner. RD is obtained by several methods in Mass Effect: Andromeda. There are three types of research available: The amount of obtained Research Data Ryder has acquired is shown in the research screen or at the bottom of the scanner interface, when the scanner is active.
#MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA CHEATS RESEARCH UPGRADE#
Research data, or RD, is the currency used to purchase upgrade blueprints. A folder in the research menu will now list Advanced Ruzad and will have the next five blueprints for Ryder to research for the Ruzad. Five additional empty (dark bars) will be available.įor example: Ryder has just researched each of the Ruzad shotgun blueprints to Rank V. This is where Rank VI-X blueprints for an item reside. Once both of these requirements have been met, a new folder for the item in question will be created with Advanced in front of name.
