Warframe in the Playground 2.0

[Recaiden]

Unless you want affinity rather than Simaris standing (eg you've hit the cap for Simaris for the day).

I think Helios also uses codex scanners, or rather the scans it does only apply to the codex and not standing regardless of whether you give it codex\synthesis scanners (and the widgets do NOT apply, so he gets expensive fast if all you're carrying is Synthesis).

I have all Widgets and only Synthesis scanners.
48 scanners.
I let my Helios scan 10 things.
48 scanners.
I then killed ~150 people with my Heliocor.
48 Scanners.

Neither generated Simaris Points^TM but they do work with Sol-Battery at least.
