Understand Detect Vulnerability

Useful when…

  • Reveal weak points in subsequent scans after research on an enemy is complete.

Effect and prerequisite

Research on an enemy must be complete first; subsequent scans then reveal that enemy's weak points. The description does not say this mod completes the initial research.

Helios precept details

Detect Vulnerability is a Rare standard Helios mod with Penjaga polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 5. Investigator is a separate Helios precept described as scanning objects and enemies within 50 meters over 2 seconds while consuming Codex Scanner charges. Targeting Receptor instead gives Helios an attack with three glaives against targets within 10 meters.
