For this reason, much of the above information may not be applicable.

In Legendary Edition, most of the equipment that is 'DLC exclusive' in the original game must instead be purchased with additional credits at vendors or with mineral resources in the Normandy's Tech Lab just like everything else. In the original game, most of the weapons or other items included with DLC packs becomes available automatically in the game at no additional in-game cost. Legendary Edition: All previous DLC for the original version of Mass Effect 2 is included by default.

1,253,416 credits (including discounts, this includes all maps, and items which either lead to more credits or which lead to other upgrades).

31,000 element zero (35,000 for all upgrades from DLC +5,000 for each Advanced Training and +2,500 for each Retrain Powers).

275,000 platinum (305,000 for all upgrades from DLC).

195,500 palladium (237,500 for all upgrades from DLC).

Total resources needed to research/buy all useful upgrades: You can also get up to a 25% discount on all research projects by being an Engineer furthermore, after completing the game with a single character all subsequent playthroughs will be granted +50,000 of each resource for free. Acquiring an upgrade from a store does not change the cost of the research upgrades. So the cost for the first Heavy Pistol Damage upgrade will always be 2,500 Palladium, regardless of where it is acquired, followed by 5,000 and 7,500 for the next two tiers. Note that research costs depend on the number of upgrades researched so far.

Note: See Credits by Location for tips on generating more income. Acquiring all upgrades no longer requires importing a level 60 (+50,000) character with the 'Rich' achievement (+100,000) or starting with the completion bonus (+200,000) from Mass Effect 2 as long as all the DLC is installed, otherwise these import standards are necessary. The amount of credits available from a normal play-through covering all missions, assignments and current DLC is 1,280,251 with a theoretical maximum of 1,347,951 if avoiding the use of medi-gel and heavy weapons and choosing Renegade options for credits. When starting a new play-through with a Shepard that beat the game, your upgrades from that previous file won't carry over. Upgrades are listed by their locations and equipment type or biotic/ tech, with purchase prices given as before possible discounts where applicable. This Upgrade Guide lists the locations and prices for all equipment and power upgrades available in Mass Effect 2.
