New Mod Idea: Autopsy

[EarlLemongrab]

I had originally posted this idea to r/warframe, but I'll be posting this here since I've received such wonderful feedback.

 

The idea is to introduce a rare mod with base 10 mod energy consumption with 3 ranks (similar to Master Thief) that allows for a chance to scan enemies upon delivering the killing blow. There have been many great mechanical ideas proposed by the folks at Reddit: the mod consumes codex scanners, the mod has variable percentage based on enemy rarity and difficulty, the mod has a single rank similar to Coolant Leak. All very good ideas.

Why would I use 10 of my mod capacity just to scan an enemy?

Its an interesting Idea, but would end up being one of those mods that no-one uses, like Lightning Rod for example.

Awesome idea, I'd love to see this happen.

So you want me to waste capacity for a mod that gives me a chance to scan enemies when I kill them, when I could just pull out my scanner and scan them with 100% accuracy right now? Is that what I'm reading here?

awesome

How about it not consume codex scanners. That would never work. I like general idea though.

That is what you're reading here, unless I unknowingly included some misleading subtext.

 

Suppose the mod would proc and produce a scan without regards to whether or not the enemy had been scanned before death.

I hate scanning. It's needlessly difficult. So yes, I'd use this mod. Not like I need a full 60 points of combat and def mods to run through missions on mars. -__-
