FuzzyNerfGiraffe Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Besides having to scan certain items for specific goals in the game, what is the point of the Codex? Is it somehow helpful to go around scanning everything? I'm not seeing the benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LSG501 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 helios has a mod available from cephalon simaris that highlights enemy weak spots once their codex entry has been completed, it's a bit like sonar on banshee. You can just run with helios (and a scanner) if you want to get the scans passively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 (PSN)Soo_Unreal Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 The codex has tutorials for newer players about movement, game mechanics, etc. It also has useful information about enemies and items you can interact with that have weaknesses, rare drops, and locations\lore. However this information is hidden until frequent scans on the particular object. Also, you can search the relic system in the codex for item drops a particular type. For example: When mirage prime first came out, I went into the codex and searched "Mirage" which popped up a few relics that had mirage prime as drops so I know which relics I should be hunting for.

0 -skimmer- Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Why did nobody mention that you can see the exact elemental strength and weaknesses of the enemies when you scan them fully?

0 xGryphus Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Also you can see drop tables for scanned enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 AerinSol Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Because DE felt ashamed that the wiki, an external site, had more information about how to even play the game than the actual game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I don't then jump to the Warframe Wiki to find out exactly where to go, but it's a good first place to look. Plus, I like to look at my enemies at time. And it gives me something to work towards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to scan the normal version of an invasion enemy before progressing past the Second Dream quest. If you need more clarification on it let me know, trying not to spoil anything. I did not complete the scans and it haunts me to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
