About
The Terrain Scanner is a support tool universal to every class in the game. It is accessible by holding the Tab or M key on a keyboard, and Select on a controller. While using the Terrain Scanner, you will be unable to move.
The Terrain Scanner will pop up on the player's screen for as long as the button is held down. The pop up reveals a manipulable, 3-dimensional interface of the surrounding terrain. In the center is the player's blip, displayed as a small arrow on the map.
The M.U.L.E. and other dwarves will be visible on the terrain scanner, the arrow representing each player changes color depending on which class they are playing.
Driller is represented with a yellow arrow
Engineer is represented with a red arrow
Gunner is represented with a green arrow
Scout is represented with a blue arrow
Remember what each color represents to identify your team mates.

- large ore chunks uncovered from a wall/floor will display as yellow pyramids, and Gunk Seeds are represented as a small yellow orb
- The location for a Lost Pack appears as a pink star.
- During extraction, the Drop Pod and its ramp is visible on the scanner as a large green cylinder and rectangle, and the M.U.L.E.'s markers leading up to the Pod will appear as small green squares.
