Helios needs a scan plant augment

I guess this is right subforum as a sentinal is closer related to Warframe than any other topic.  

As title says, Helios needs an augment where he will scan plant life as a priority.  Helios will scan when you have not "mastered" the plant, but once it is entered into codex, he stops.  

I never cared before because I could safely ignore that content after I got Titania.  However, now that Nightwave is a thing and I must hunt specters, I find myself running out of plant scans for apothtica.  

I really do not want to go to a mission with sole purpose of scanning plants.  However, I do not find running a Helios modded to scan plants and passively aquire them!  

I know it's been suggested before, but now we actually need it!

 

Edit - Cephalon Simarus can sell the mod for 75k to 100k.  I know other augments are cheaper but this one is actually useful.

I’ve been wished that but figure it be applied to the new fortuna sentinel considering what its purpose is. Marks fish, catches animal(after tranq) and figured add the ability to gather plants by simply scanning them unless DE makes them farmable by destroying them like containers. 

But yes we definitely need a plant farming augment for one of the sentinels.

Why is it always that something that should be in the base ability is suggested as an augment..

What I'm saying is, just let him scan plants too since he already scans most of the games content..

I get why he can't scan the tiny.. thingies.. the .. I forgot the name but these figurines.. de wants us to look for them specifically. But plants? Should be in the base ability.

Exactly what I was going to comment.

This should just be part of the base ability, scanning plants, cephalon fragments, somacord tones, etc. His scans have little impact on the game, and become useless after using him enough. Rather than his scanner becoming obsolete whenever we don't have new enemies, just let him also permanently scan the above items whenever in range.

The only reason I can think this isn't the case, and why I didn't recommend, is that each scan gives 10 affinity to Cephalon Simarus.  

This would be a good reason to never use componions.  It would also decrease the price you can sell Cephalon mods.  

Taking up an aument slot keeps some value to it.  Forces you to keep a utility sentinal or have some attack power also.  

Don't get me wrong, I would be ok with a base skill getting an upgrade but I doubt it would ever happen.  We may get an augment though.

Helios is overused, it should go to Oxylus instead since that is what he is made for.

Also you don't have to run missions soecifically for plants, if you know which plants spawn where it is really easy to passively collect them as you do other missions.
