codex entries

[--BloodyMoonZ--]

Heya so i reached MR29 and close to MR30 and theres nothing much to do so i started with completing codex scans... And id like to ask if any of you could send pics of ALL scans by affiliates (theats the word right?). And im not using helios or heliocor i got a smarter way of doing it which is atlas subsume ability with ore gaze augment helps a lot. Thanks in advance.

you can only scan any specific enemy once, only way to scan the same enemy twice is with ballistica prime ghosts

Better way: scanning unalerted enemies will yield double the scans. If you have the Cross Vector Widget for you Synthesis Scanner, you can potentially yield four scans. Helios (Prime) with Investigator can also Stealth Scan enemies, but it cannot inherit the Synthesis Scanner's Widgets.

true but when you do long run it doesnt even matter since the enemies keep comming :) and i feel that helios is a waste ,-, it scans only once every 2s and it scans those evenmies that arent even needed.... unless it works better with codex scanner equipped....

what do you mean by "it scans enemies that arent even needed" it only scans enemies that still need to be scanned for their codex entry, unless you have the mod for scanning weakpoints i guess???

Helios/ Helios Prime with Investigator can use the Synthesis Scanners if no Codex scanners are equipped.

That is called stealth scanning an enemy and will double the affinity gain.

You can more than you need. You can use the sodex as a library of the origin system. scanning props will also give you affinity but not much.

Usually it needs to be scan 3 times to complete the entry (sometimes more than 3).

Syndivcate standings are also affected as they take a portion of the scan.
