It depends on so many variables, that unless you have lvl 5 scanners & profile analyst, expect it to only work on newer players. As most vets have a low enough dropsuit profile to go undetected. I have all the related skills at advanced lvls, & I get pretty reliable results. Just not against the higher lvl players. |

Also, though it has increased range, you still need to be relatively close for it to be effective. It's best use is to alert blueberries of the enemies position. |

I don't know if scanners are bugged or not. But they definitely work for me. I think people's expectations are too high. & players profile signatures vary greatly, so results are not consistent. |

As for scanners vs spotters. Unless I'm mistaken, enemies detected with scanners appear for the entire team. Where as enemies detected by spotters only appear for their squad. I have witnessed random blues in gun fights, & the red doesn't show up until they're in my LOS. |

BTW, you know the scanner is working when the reds blink on/off on the mini map. Some will stay exposed & others may disappear immediately. It just depends on their signature, & your analyst skills/mods. |

so a lvl 3 scanner would be able to still pickup ppl with those sig reducing skills maxed that would actually make them useful same with the scanners for vehicles which might need a bigger radius tbh Actually if you do the math. Even with analyst skills maxed, a proto scanner & complex precision enhancers stacked 3 deep. A scout, logi or assault with maxed damping skills & complex profile dampeners equipped, can still go undetected. There are 2 skills that reduce your sig, but only 1 that reduces you analyst. I have yet to test the adv & proto vehicle scanners, But they only seem to offer better range not analyst, so they aren't anymore or less effective than the infantry scanner. |

Ive had great success with the vehicle version. not so much with infantry version. really? seems incosistent to me ill be watching the radar waiting to see if ppl show up and not sure if they show up because infantry spot them or the scanner If the detected by the scanner they will either blink solid/translucent then stay solid or appear & disappear immediately depending on their sig. |

But no way to get your analyst this low. The key is that very few if anyone will rock a proto suit with 3 dampeners. But the fact that there are 2 skills that augment dampening, but only 1 for analyst, means a stealth fit has the advantage over the scanners. |
