Helios Isn't Scanning.

[Yezzik]

Yes, my max-rank Investigator is the first precept in its list. The other two are Guardian and Regen--my Helios has no other mods installed. I've given it all the time in the world to scan the many enemies swarming around me, but it just won't. Even when I leave them alive, it just won't.

 

I've had 49 Codex Scanner charges for ten minutes now.

You have to put your cross-hair over the enemy to scan it other wise you are just sitting there. Unranked it uses 4 scans per enemy and maxed uses 9 scans per enemy. So in truth you are wasting more scans then you would be to use the normal scanner which is only 1 scan per enemy. This is why no one uses the scanner on the Helios... it's broken.

 

This is from experience so unless someone can prove me wrong there is no reason I see to use the scanner on the Helios.

Tested, and incorrect.

It's not doing anything at all; it doesn't matter what I do or don't do.

 

Edit: Okay, I managed to get it working.

By playing Solo.
