The Codex is an in-game database containing data on all aspects of Warframe. Several sections of the Codex are automatically populated as more 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 and objects for the Codex, players need to scan the relevant items using scanners. Codex section for Kuva Liches will be available after the player creates their first Lich.
Information for other categories is obtained by owning the item in question (Mods) or by progressing in Mastery Ranks (Art Gallery).
Scanning[]
Codex Scanner
Synthesis Scanner
- Obtain a Scanner:
Codex Scanner(s) can be purchased from the Gear section of the Market.- Synthesis Scanner can be obtained from Cephalon Simaris.
- Equip the Scanner(s) under the Gear section of the Arsenal.
- While in a mission, select the scanner in your gear section (default Q on PC) or use the appropriate hotkey.
- Right-click to zoom, hold left click over an enemy to scan. Alternatively, hold Left-click to both zoom and scan simultaneously.
- Each entity can only be scanned once per mission, regardless of method of scanning.
- If a scan is performed stealthily, the codex entry will increment by two instead.
Alternate Scanning[]
- Helios and Helios Prime both can use either Scanner equipped in the Gear section of the Arsenal to automatically scan with the Investigator precept.
- Oxylus can scan plants automatically with the Botanist precept.
- Oxylus will continue to scan appropriate plants after their codex entries are completed.
- Heliocor and Synoid Heliocor both have the ability to scan killed targets.
