So currently - If myself or any squad members spot a red dot, is it displayed to only my current squad or all bluedots on a team?
Current active scanner - If currently I scan a group of reddots is that information carried only to my squad or to the whole team?
Also am I really lit up to the enemy team when I scan? Has anyone tested this as I have found my personal research to be inconclusive.
So AFTER 1.4 patch what will be the difference?
Sorry if this seems basic, I would just like to be sure what to expect.
Currently, all vision is shared.
After 1.4 Only active scanner results will be shared with your squad. |

Incorrect, I use the ADV scanner that has 16 sec light up time, you are indeed lit up (even if you move away from the scan area) for the entire time.

So I'm a Fanboi now?
I may have been using the Scanner for about a week, but I have been timing the scan results. I am 99% percent sure that I am right.
Granted, every scanner has a different 'Visibility Duration' stat, and the one that I am using has as duration of 16 secs. I can't wait til I spec into Proto and get the one that is 25 secs. :)
What I haven't tested is what happens if you move the scanner around while it's scanning. Everytime that I use it, I keep on the same location for the full duration of the scan activation. |

Oh really? @CCP can we get clarification on this as it seems a big jumble. I would love to know what will happen with active scanners post 1.4
Actually, I miss read your statement. I thought you were taking about how long the targets are lit up.
I actually wasn't aware that I am visible to the enemy team, but it makes sense. |
