Codex

The  is essentially an encyclopedia for enemy, Warframe, weapon, mod, Sentinel, Sentinel weapons event in Warframe. In order to obtain enemy information and mission objects for the codex players will need to use codex scanners. Information for other items is obtained by owning the item.

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:
 * Try to stay hidden or in stealth when scanning.
 * Make sure the enemies are alive.

Missions

 * This was only talked about - not shown - in the livestream.

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.

Enemies
There is a variety of information that can be gathered on each enemy type:
 * Lore
 * Faction
 * Level Range
 * Regions
 * Health
 * Armor
 * Shield
 * Mod Drops (and rarity)

The player gains a critical bonus (unknown if chance or damage) against the enemy type once all information is discovered.

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.
