Yeah I finished all these scans already from this update. Not that bad. Still waiting for Deimos entries to be fixed and bugged/duplicate New War/Narmer stuff removed.

yes thats what we have been asking for at every update.. nice to see a few things updated though :)

Still havent seen the Drekar Hellion and Kuva Hellion Exi's as yet but finished the rest from the update today..

For Drekar I did Umbriel Interception. It took me about 1 hour. They don't spawn for the first few rounds. They need only 3 scans. For Kuva I did Disruption. Those need 5 scans. I used Nekros for all of these so I could raise them from the dead after scanning. If you're decently lucky you only need 2 spawns for a finished entry.

Did you find one just now?

Yes, sorry! Didn't see the notification. Ran around the plains for a bit and it spawned after 15 minutes randomly. Don't have any real tips for it, nor any idea of rarity.

Kuva hellion eximus spawn fairly often on Rotum, mobile defense. Got one every other mission or so.

I already finished everything new, I was just curious. It took about 15 minutes for me as well.

These are my notes on these new entries if anyone wants them:

• (3 scans) Frontier Hellion Eximus - Lua Crossfire Exterminate (from Forums, I did Earth Interception and they spawn after 12 rounds.)
• (3 scans) Drekar Hellion Eximus - Umbriel Interception, Uranus (takes a long time as these don't seem to spawn until round 4 or 5)
• (5 scans) Kuva Hellion Eximus - Tamu Disruption, Kuva Fortress Disruption
• (3 scans) Tusk Roller Eximus - Fly between camps during Day Cycle in Plains until one spawns and session duplicate with another player.
• (3 scans) Vapos Shockwave Moa Eximus - Came Mobile Defense, Jupiter
• (12 scans) Soag Domestik Drone - Ariel Capture, Uranus

Just a small note on the Tusk Roller exi, to spawn them i killed all eximus in the camps and flew to next camp doing a circut around the camps, I found 2 of the 3 rollers at Twin Horns.

frontier hellion eximus -- grimaldi works too (don't recommend the crossfire though)
drekar hellion eximus -- ophelia works, it's also endless
kuva hellion eximus -- these seem to spawn in most (if not all) kuva fortress missions
soag domestik drone -- seen these in most sea lab missions, did not even have to think about hunting them

yeah I did 6 runs of 8 rounds in Umbriel and didnt see 1 so swapped to Ophelia and did 50 min run got all 3 ..

[HazelMeade]

tusk roller eximus -- have yet to see one in a camp, but have gotten 2 from drone escort (tier 2 spy catcher bounty; remember each enemy drop during escort includes an eximus), and 1 from armored vault defense (also a tier 2 bounty)

See the post right above yours.  I did 3 tier 2 bounties and got one TRE on each.  (Tier 5 didn't seem to work.)

Narmer Hellion Eximus exist, but don't have a Codex entry. They require 3 scans as far as I can tell.

[HazelMeade]

BTW, I got a Jade Light Gruzzling Eximus in a Netracell yesterday.  Apparently they're not limited to Deep Archimedea.

Is it in the codex?

[HazelMeade]

From patch notes: "The Stalker that appears after completing the Jade Shadows Quest now has his own unique name (similar to Shadow Stalker) “Protector Stalker”.

And it has a codex entry now.  (The picture seems bogus though...)

So does the stalker beacon bring the Protector Stalker ? will give that a try .. ty

After you complete Jade of Shadows, every stalker that hunts you will be replaced with the protector stalker and he's scannable like a normal enemy

When shadow stalker would spawn, he's replaced with protector stalker if you've done the jade shadows quest. He is scannable.

The best way to get the Stalker 3.0 scans is to collect stalker deathmarks as usual, be eligible to even make this version spawn (meaning having done JADE SHADOWS mini-quest) and then do some of these Operation Alerts on the Steelpath difficulty with people who have also these conditions met ( Stalker deathmark actif plus Quest done ) . If the stalker then spawns there, he would be 100% to do so as this new Protector Stalker, at least as long as the event runs.

I thought these scans would be a nightmare to get, as most people already tried the "help as Stalker from relay option" and then be done with that nonsense. So you would hardly ever have one of these new Stalkers in your PUB squads the longer the event was already running. But no, this way I had these scans in under an hour.

Actually the best way is Stalker Beacon .. 

[Dawnattion]

You can't scan ally stalkers in the belly of the beast missions tho right? Do you mean enemy stalker spawning during the mission or what exactly? And if anyone wants to do beacon share guardian stalker farm im down for it, i have 1 beacon.

Correct, ally Stalker players are not scannable.

Anyone know if this still works? Ive been running it for hours and haven't even seen one harpi

Ok guys, just went ahead and re-did The New War in order to confirm some of these new findings/figure out methods on getting some of these scans.

Firstly, the fabled duplicate Vorac Harpi has been confirmed and is obtainable in the Re-Play:

Method to the madness:

PREPARATION: (Very important to set these up BEFORE accepting The New War quest as you cannot change some settings once you're in the quest)

1. Railjack needs to have WEAK WEAPONS. That's right, normally you'd want strong weapons but in this case, the weaker the weapons the better, the enemies are only around lv15~ anyways and when going for scans you dont want to kill these guys.

2. Don't bring a crew or bring the WEAKEST crew you can slot. For the exact same reasons above your crew manning guns and roaming the RJ can kill enemies you are attempting to scan. DONT BRING ANYONE IF POSSIBLE.

3. RJ intrinsic mastery Piloting 10, the blink MAY be required. I've tested it with and without and it is MUCH MUCH easier and if not impossible without this intrinsic.

4. Synthesis scanner on a hotkey can be the difference between timings, it is EXTREMELY tight, I highly recommend doing this.

Now that prep is out of the way,

1. Start The New War and finish up to Veso's Portion.

2. After killing the Jackal in his portion, you can skip through 3 different cutscenes, only the 3rd one matters, and when you hit spacebar on the 3rd cutscene, you basically set up a pause right before going for this scan.

Pre-note and findings: Testing this was EXTREMELY annoying and quite hard, it seems that as soon as the 3rd cutscene from Veso's part ends, 3 Vorac Harpi's spawn and head towards the cluster of Ionyxes that are already present on the map. I could not find ANY way to reliably save the Harpis, I tried shielding em by boosting and taking the shots from the Ionyxes, I tried boosting and using Seeker Volley to kill the enemies fast, I tried boosting close then going out to use my Amesha to slow down enemies. NONE of these worked as I discovered that these Harpis also have a HEALTH DEGEN going off(or Ionyxes have a DoT attack that happen IMMEDIATELY after the mission starts). Either way, this makes this scan INCREDIBLY HARD AND EXTREMELY TIGHT IN TIMING, I cannot stress this enough. If you go for this scan prepare for some really really close calls. But now that we set up a pause point before the mission, and know that a degen is killing these Harpis right away, we can still obtain the scan as long as we're FAST as that's the ONLY thing that matters when I tested all of this.

3. So during the 3rd cutscene, you need to wait about a second to let a portion of the cutscene play(I've found that if you dont allow this 1 second playtime the Ionyxes and Harpis end up spawning LATER or forces YOU to spawn later, killing the Harpis before you get a chance to scan them so this part is important.) then you hit spacebar to get to the skip/pause menu, then hold to skip the cutscene, then the MOMENT you are able to move, IMMEDIATELY double tap Spacebar(you should already be holding this to skip the cutscene) to blink 1000m forward. Then hop off the pilot seat, and IMMEDIATELY exit your RJ. My method to get out the fastest have been to turn around, slide, then roll, then slide and roll again, this is an EXACT amount of movement. Some users may find a faster way eventually, I was not able to use operator mode to get out faster than with this method.

4. Now you're outside, Look to the left(when you get out of your RJ, the orientation can be confusing, you want to look left to see forward). Then IMMEDIATELY bring out your Synthesis Scanner, attempt to scout the 3 Harpis try to scan one of them. That is it. You can potentially get 1 scan from this(impossible to scan 2 but i would be happy to be proven wrong) or 2 if your Synthesis Scanner's double scan procs.

5. Wether you get the scan or not, you now hit ESC and exit the game to go for another attempt/fill out the scans.

Now, the trick that helped me in getting these scans is that you can occasionally(maybe every time), scan the Harpis EVEN AFTER THEY'RE DEAD. For a small amount of time, if you hold your scan over one of the dead Harpis "Ghost corpse" you can still get a scan from it.

Info data regarding the duplicate Harpi entry: Drops the same items, looks exactly the same, requires 5/5 scans to fully scan, difference is the duplicate version doesn't have a listed area regarding where this enemy spawns. The normal version of the codex entry will say Regions: Pluto.

Now, while you're splitting hair over trying to get that scan, you can actually go for another one in this same portion that is much more manageable! After you kill the first 2 sets of sentient fighters, Erra will hit your RJ with 2 dropships(I've tried to get scans of these sentient boarding ships as well but am unable to during this portion) that contains a number enemies, they include:

~6-8 Anu Brachiolyst, 1 Anu Mantalyst, and the Mantalyst will go ahead and summon Anu Interference Drone that you can also scan(as long as the Mantalyst stays alive), proof here(Mantalyst to the right, brachiolyst behind the mantalyst as a green scan, and the interference drone all in one picture):

Again, the easiest way to get these scans is to NOT HAVE CREW(or tactical them to the gunner position so they're less of an obstruction), if they have strong guns they will most likely oneshot these before you can even see them. Also, when Erra starts talking, move to the back of the RJ where the finger is. This will manipulate Teshin ai to go for the back Brachiolysts that spawn while you get to scan the Manta+Interference drone. Note that the Mantalyst will continually spawn interference drones as long as it's alive, so to get the most scans just kill the interference drone after you scan it so the Mantalyst spawns more and try to keep Teshin away from em.

Lastly is the Gyrix during the sun portion/2nd RJ part of The New War. Just reporting findings, it seems that during this portion of the RJ section, you are attacked by 2 groups of sentient fighters. These can apparently all spawn as Gyrix although they have a higher weighting towards spawning as Ioniyxes. I have gotten them to spawn 3 Gyrixes during one attempt in these 2 groups. NO OTHER GROUPS WILL SPAWN GYRIXES PAST THIS POINT. I painstakingly looked at every single spawn each attempt and retried at different portions of this section and only the first 2 packs can seem to spawn Gyrixes. So after scanning these and exiting the game, you will have to replay a longer part of the mission. But we're codex hunters, it's worth the few minutes to replay it right?

Codex entry for the 3 Anu units are unavailable as although they are scannable, their entries are not in the codex so I am not sure how many scans of each you need although I can confirm that at some point all 3 DO become green scans. Gyrix entry however IS correct and can be obtained, you need 5 total scans to fully scan the Gyrix.

Well that's all the stuff I got from The New War Replay, I'm now looking towards the bugged Thumpers, although since there is only 1 narmer bounty level range I don't know if it's actually possible for them to spawn.
