Warframe - How to to Use the Codex Scanner

Welcome to GamerU’s guide to using the Codex Scanner in Warframe.

The Codex Scanner is Warframe’s way of filling you in on the game’s lore. The Codex can be accessed on your ship. It’s essentially an encyclopedia of everything you encountered in Warframe. The Codex Scanner and 25 charges can be purchased from the market for 500 credits. Once you buy it, you’ll have to equip it into one of your consumable inventory slots. Although it doesn’t do any damage, the Codex Scanner takes the place of your current primary weapon when you use it. It allows you to scan enemies and objects in the game. Once they’re scanned, an entry about them will be added to your Codex. Multiple scans of the same object or enemy will unlock more lore. Scanning moving objects can be a little tricky, so taking a stealth approach is ideal when using the Codex scanner. Alternatively, you can build the Sentinel called Helios to automatically do to the scanning for you. The Helios blueprint can be researched and purchased from your clan’s dojo.

Thank you for watching GamerU’s guide to using the Codex Scanner in Warframe and stay tuned for more tips and tutorials.

If you're playing on Nintendo switch. You can equip the codex scanner into your gear wheel. You can equip it in the mission by clicking on the down arrow on left joycon. Once you select it use The right trigger to scan objects.

Equip the scanner, select is by pressing down on the d pad and X. After words hold left trigger and you’ll go into a camera like mode. Now look at the thing and hold either RB or right trigger I can’t remember which.
