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. Whilst the terrain scanner is activated, the player 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 manipulatable, 3-dimensional interface of the surrounding terrain. In the center is the player's blip, displayed as a small arrow on the map.

Other players will be visible on the terrain scanner, the arrow representing each player changes colour depending on which class they are playing.

  • Driller portrait Driller is represented with a yellow arrow
  • Engineer portrait Engineer is represented with a red arrow
  • Gunner portrait Gunner is represented with a white arrow
  • Scout portrait Scout is represented with a blue arrow

Remember what each colour represents to identify your team mates.

The Terrain Scanner may also reveal the locations of your objectives. In Egg Hunt, All of the eggs will be visible on the Terrain Scanner. During extractions, the Drop Pod is visible on the scanner as a small blue cylinder.
