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.
