Sixty5 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Simple reason, his precept gives you short range wallhack. Combine with penetration and you have yourself a winning combination. Only way I'd change it is by allowing it to highlight multiple targets at once, and leave the scan speed as is. Wallhacks > all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Talia. Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Too bad we can't equip his weapon on other sentinels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimchiKen_Prime Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I want him to be able to only scan things that arent finish scanning in ur codex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-HAKUNA-YOUR-TATAS- Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I like rotating 1/2 circle piece on the front of it and the bugged out security camera face. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty5 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 What do you mean by wallhack? This is the first time I've heard of the term. The scan effect ignore LOS, meaning it will pick up enemies behind walls and cover, because it takes a long time for him to scan stuff, said enemy glows orange for a good 3-4 seconds, visible through said walls. If you are running a weapon with punch-through on it, you can take out said enemy before they are scanned and a charge is used. It is basically an little X-ray machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lickity-Split Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Try equip a maxed Stretch :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty5 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 INB4 Hotfix. As far as utility goes, without it he has almost nothing compared to the other Sentinels. He also feels a tad underpowered because of it. I'd honestly like them to give him an AOE scan, it'd make him a bit more viable later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i might buy him, because 100 plat isnt much for a Sentinel with bits, free slots and potaotes. By looking at what skiny flying void key does, he seems like one trick wonder. Useful if you are in need of scans, but useless for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the point I was making here is that he is useful for more than just scans because of the wallhack. His weapon also seems to Proc a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarGeezerTim Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Helios is pretty cool, although I wish he'd only scan things you haven't completed. It's not like he's going to break the bank by wasting scans, but it's the principle of the thing. I also think they need to tune his weapon up a bit--he seems a bit trigger-happy on non-activated turrets and security cameras. o.O One of the best looking sentinels so far tho, I'll give him that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SALE94 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) His gun 50 0 0 100 1.3 N/A 25.0% 6 Is actualy pretty badass from stats even though it is melee. Maybe it can be modded for blast and combine that with good proc fun times :D Edited March 20, 2014 by SALE94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarGeezerTim Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I didn't have a problem with the weapon stats, just the frequency of the proc. I've had him blow out windows on Corpus ships while going after a non-active gun turret. I've subsequently taken his Targeting Receptor out so he doesn't fire at all now, I mainly use him to scan and look badass. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishki88 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Word around town is Helios can't use melee damage mods, only elements and Heavy Trauma. Well..I guess I'll just use it because it looks nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well..I guess I'll just use it because it looks nice The stats on the screen are a tad wonky. It seems that Killing blow does buff its damage, and I believe I have seen it proc bleed as well.
