Helios/Main

Helios is a Corpus support Sentinel pre-equipped with the Glaive-esque Deconstructor as its default weapon and the precept to assist the player with Codex scans.

Additionally, can be used to scan for weak points on enemies with already completed Codex entries.

Precept Mod Notes

 * Whether this Sentinel's unique precept mods are equipped or not, and the order in which they are equipped, will affect its behaviour:
 * Helios will only attack targets if is equipped in one of its first two  slots.
 * The precept equipped in the first slot will determine whether Helios prefers to attack  or scan ( / ).
 * The precept draws its scans from the user's pool of Codex Scanners. The Codex Scanners must be equipped in the Gear interface in Arsenal in order for Helios to use them.
 * Helios emits a beeping sound cue upon starting a scan. During the scanning, the target is highlighted in Helios' energy color. When the scan is complete, the scan target will flash white and a sound effect will play. Helios scans also grant Affinity rewards (and stealth bonus, if the scan target is hostile and has not been alerted to your presence). As long as an object or enemy is partially visible (health bar and name appears when aiming at a body part) it can be scanned.
 * Whilst Investigator does automatically expend scan charges, aiming at an object or enemy will cause Helios to scan that particular target first.
 * Helios will scan the plant life and reward extracts for Antitoxins as long as the plant's Codex entry isn't completed.
 * With installed, Helios periodically reveals close-by items of interest, such as consoles or Defense objectives, as orange silhouettes, identical in effect to being zoomed in with the Codex Scanner.
 * When scanning without any other instructions (such as the user aiming at a specific target), Helios can occasionally scan targets through walls and other solid objects.
 * Helios can continue scanning an enemy even if it dies, as long as the corpse is still visible and within scanning range.
 * The corpse will continue to be scanned even if shot away with a weapon that pins enemies, such as the Paris, until the corpse flies outside of the scanning range.
 * Helios can scan bosses through the boss's opening cinematic.
 * Helios will not automatically scan friendly units, such as during Invasions. (Possible bug.)
 * Helios can attack while scanning and vice versa. However it will not attack the target it is currently scanning until the scan is completed. (Unless you have in a higher priority slot than ).
 * As of, Helios can use a player's Synthesis Scanner (if one is in your gear) to scan targets if no Codex Scanner is available. If only the Synthesis Scanner is equipped, the Helios' scans do not count towards Simaris reputation.
 * If one has the Sol-Battery Widget, these scans will not drain charges from the Synthesis Scanners, allowing for free scanning.
