Investigator is a mod that allows the Helios Helios Sentinel to scan objects and enemies it encounters, consuming Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner charges.

It is given to players upon claiming Helios Helios (HeliosPrime Prime) from the Foundry or buying a Helios from the Market.

Notes[]

  • Requires a Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner equipped in the gear slot for Helios to use scan charges from. If there are no charges, Helios will not scan anything.
    • The order of scanner usage is Codex Scanners then Synthesis Scanners. Once all Codex Scanners have been used, Helios will begin to consume Synthesis Scanners.
      • If one has the Sol-Battery Widget, scans will not drain charges from the Synthesis Scanners, allowing for free scanning. Scans will also prioritize using Synthesis Scanners over Codex Scanners.
  • It will not scan targets with complete codex entries.
  • Helios' scans will not give the player Cephalon Simaris standing, even if Synthesis Scanner charges were used. Scans only award affinity, like a normal Codex Scanner use would.
