So Helios Investigator is still bugged?

[Rusty]

When I initially equipped Helios Prime with the Investigator mod, it was great having him scan everything in site. I had to stock up on thousands of codex scanners because he would go through them so fast.

Then I noticed he just stopped over the course of a couple of days(?).

Every now and then he will randomly scan something but I barely even notice its so random.

There is a certain limit of how many an enemy type it'll scan. If the limit is reached, it will stop scanning them. Are you sure those that it scan has filled its limit?

He only scans enemies and objects until their codex entry is finished, then he wont scan them again.
If I recall right, there are some things he will scan any time he sees them, but they are far and few between.

Simaris has an "Expose Weakness" mod in his inventory, which will 'mark' enemies with completed scans for extra damage (similar to Banshee's Sonar ability)

You can use that if you want Helios to 'sc4n all teh things'

Also, don't forget the Sol-Battery Widget also sold by Simaris, which effectively gives you infinite scanners.

That doesn't count as an actual scan though it can be useful.
It wont earn you rep with the big orange head.

I stood next to a frame fighter data piece with Helios and he wouldn't scan it. I had to scan it manually.

I probably have completed scans for a bunch of enemies which would explain that, but I'm still having to manually scan most of the Somachord Tones, Frame Fighter data, etc which I haven't yet completed....
I'll have to check out the mods at Simaris though, thanks for all the advice

Two of my friends have a Helios, both of them have issues getting it to scan things. It seems to scan enemies just fine, but doesn't seem to want to scan Cephalon Fragments, Frame Fighters and Somachord Tones.

It's bugged since chimera update, rarely helios scans anything and most of time he just doesn't scan.

(it was very well visible on arbitation... you see 6-8drones, each one is orange when you use scanner... but helios scans 0-1 of them and the rest is ignored)

Some people advised to take scanner from first slot to any other but it didn't work for me :/
Does anyone have any fix?

edit:
My helios fixed itself when I have placed synthesis scanner into 1st slot of gear wheel, the normal codex scanner into 12th slot and moved investigate mod into top-left corner (1st slot of helios mods)
Maybe it will help someone


edit2:
it worked and now it stopped working again, and repeating those steps doesn't fix it anymore
it might be important (!): it was using normal scanners from 12th slot, it ignored synthesis scanner that was on first slot (they didn't run out so amount isn't problem)
