  1. Heart of Deimos: Update 29
    • AddedOxylus Sentinel will scan plants within 20m over 5s. This consumes Codex Scanner charges.
  2. Update 26: The Old Blood
    • ChangedAnother common issue in user feedback was the unequipping of Gear Items (like the Codex Scanner), or dropping the ‘football’ (usually a pickup for Mobile Defense or Sabotage Missions) when equipping melee or using a melee attack. This has now been changed so that you will no longer drop items or unequip Gear Items when either equipping melee or using a Melee Attack!

  6. 13.4.0: Serro + Psa!
    • FixedAdded in a new Green visual effect that will appear on enemies that have been fully scanned when viewed with the Codex Scanner.
