Codex

The Codex is an in-game database containing data on all aspects of Warframe.

Several sections of the Codex are automatically populated as content is released (Warframes, Weapons, Events, Sentinels, Sentinel Weapons) and are additionally used to track player's progress in attaining and leveling those items.

In order to obtain information on enemies, missions and game world objects for the Codex players need to scan the relevant items using Codex Scanner.

Information for other categories is obtained by owning the item in question (Mods) or by progressing in Mastery Ranks (Art Gallery).

Scanning
How to scan:
 * 1) Buy Codex Scanners from the Gear section of the Market.
 * 2) Equip Codex Scanners to Gear bar.
 * 3) Enter mission.
 * 4) Choose Codex Scanner from Gear bar (or use hotkey).
 * 5) Right click to zoom, hold left click over an enemy to scan. Alternatively, hold Left-click to both zoom and scan.

Tips:
 * Scanning unalerted enemies will provide more affinity, thus requiring less scans per enemy type.

Enemies
There is a variety of information that can be gathered on each enemy type: The Codex displays the enemy's weakness and resistances to each damage type. Each plus or minus sign means 25%.
 * Lore
 * Faction
 * Level Range
 * Regions
 * Health
 * Armor
 * Shield
 * Mod Drops (and rarity)
 * Effectiveness of Physical and Elemental Damage Types

The number of scans needed of each enemy type for the codex profile to be complete depends on the amount of affinity that enemy type would give, e.g, a boss will take fewer scans than a heavy unit, and a heavy unit will take fewer scans than a light unit in order for the profile to be complete.

Missions

 * This section is yet to be implemented. The following data is based on the information from the livestreams and is subject to change.

Missions will have a special object (mainframe or reactor) that will provide information when scanned with the data sample.

The data masses picked up in the Spy mission are planned to hold random blocks of information that will be filled in the codex once mission is complete.

There is a variety of information that can be gathered on each mission:
 * Drop Tables

It is unknown if there is a bonus associated once all information is discovered.
