Scanning Is Impossible

[MerelyARumor]

you should make it so you can scan dead things, or shadows of the dead can make eximus,or eximus take less scans,or some other fix,because at the moment its brutally frustrating to try and get all the scans of eximus, its no wonder why no one scans

 

1. specific eximus rarely ever appear...ever,like im pretty sure i have never seen certain ones in my entire time playing this game

2. the moment an eximus appears the other players in your party will instantly destroy it

( i dont blame them,some of them are annoying)

3. if the other players in your party dont destroy it...your sentinel will destroy it

4. if your sentinel doesnt destroy it..it will kill commit suicide by charging into you (looking at you ospreys) 

 

 

some of those things need 30 scans, and i havent even seen 1 , and when i do see one im sure someone will kill it before i scan it

Loki+invisibility+rushing+Helios-attack precept.

the fact that you need a specific warframe with a specific build along with a specific sentinel on countless, countless runs just to scan things, means there is a problem lol

 

edit: and solo ....

edit again: and on specific maps because certain ones are only in certain places

They should just copy the scanning from the metroid prime games

[Doforcash]

use Ash, Loki, Vauban or Frost (Rhino are for boss scan) and it will make your life less miserable 

[HalotroopermanX7]

Scanning is quite fun for me, I've got like altogether 70% of the enemies fully scanned, I don't know why you're complaining. 

[Icymountain]

If scanning provided bonuses against scanned enemies, that'd be great

[LoopStricken]

I just use Helios regardless of frame I use. I just have to rein in my murderous rage and wait for Helios' slow &#! to do its job.

[Vexxie]

Helios does fine, people just need to kick their dependence on carrier is all. I bring him on every mission I run (Including void and I have 100% scan completion there). 

[RoboDoge]

Helios is my best friend now, he scans when something that needs scanning appears.

 

 

And Eximus Codex entries need toning down to 3-5 scans per enemy.

What I don't understand is why those electric/nauseous/lobber crawler eximi needed 30 scans. Those ancient disrupter/healer/toxic eximi only needed 5 scans and they're far more common.

I am nearly done with all eximus scans. I noramlly play loki prime with helios and then interception gamemode. Try different Tier Interception to get most of the scans, the rest you get from defence/survival.

 

On Interception try to get the point farest away from the group or on small maps let the orther three play the obejtive and you scan. On Survival or all other gamemodes stay a little bit away from the group or run ahead. Don't use a sentinel weapon.

 

But for some enemies the scans should be lowered.

[Temfist]

While I'll admit the very rare enemy scans are annoying to get, I personally don't see anything wrong with either;

 

a) reduce the number of scans for "rare" enemies to 5, or in the instance of a Lobber Crawler, make them spawn more often....

 

b) reduce the time required to scan "rare" enemies, cause if you happen to be playing with other people and speed rushing a level, but notice an eximus in a mob, it's hard to whoop out your Codex Scanner in time, or for Helios to scan it before it's dead.

its that way by design. its actually easier on the eximus scans this way as you get them all instead of scan counts per each individual type.

 

but yea... helios all day long for scanning

[http404error]

They've stated that they're aware that it's ridiculous and will be lowering the required number.

You normally play a frame that you could only be play for a week??  There is something wrong with this sentence. 

 

Scans are easy enough to get.  Scanning before your teammates kill someone, that might be a different story.  Scans when I can... maybe I'll have them done in a few months.  I'm in no rush.

[RancidTurnip1603]

Scanning while solo is significantly easier, especially if running a CC or stealth frame.

 

Or you can do what I did, just run Helios and play like normal, even if he only gets 2-3 scans (Probably a lot more now that they improved his scanner) per mission it adds up over time. Only things I have left are eximus of the rarer spawns.
