Heleus research points adjusted?

Anyone knows if the Heleus research points got adjusted downwards? This is my 4th playthrough, for the last 2 playthroughs I used the Heleus Icon armor set plus a heleus weapon  isharay or the dhan shotgun, this time round I am also scanning everything but yet ran out of points, now its neither here nor there both weapons and armor stuck on a lower level. huge excesses in the other research points...  really annoying.  Was this intentional or is it another bug?

    i have noticed that too. seems to be a lot less points flying around.

  • I am quite annoyed that the points are suddenly insufficient to lev up my equipment, just dump a ton of points into remnant armor, will be using this from now on.  Using milky way shotgun rather than dhan.  absolutely screwed over my equipment.  Not sure if it is because they nerfed EOS so less kett stuff to scan?

    A good way to get research points, all be it random, is to do apex missions.. I'm pretty sure there is guides/tips on farming research points online somewhere.. I know of an exploit with apex loot boxes but I'm unsure if it still works. 

  • Thanks, I have been doing Apex missions, have 2 teams on it.  Checked back from time to time as it's disruptive to go on board the tempest halfway through a mission to check on it.  The Cryo pods only give milky way points...  My point is in previous games I never had this issue, think the patch did it?  I cant be certain though...  Anyway am now during the remnant armor, and milky way weapons, abandoned the heleus stuff.  This game is really becoming less fun...  think I will quit being the 2nd human pathfinder and go back to being the first human spectre..

    I recently noticed the same thing - I’m almost finished with my second playthrough, and I am absolutely swimming in Milky Way and Remnant research, but barely have enough Heleus to keep my helmet/chest armor up to date with the rest of my equipment. I’m at the point where I’m just running around Voeld with my scanner permanently on, hoping to get some orange glows …

  • I didnt have this issue before the patch in fact I had quite a bit of Heleus pts...  I was halfway through my 3rd playthrough when the patch came out so guess my 4th playthrough is my first full playthrough after the patch and I am not enjoying it...
