I made this alt to be a logi and i have to say i suck without scanners, i constantly am getting scanned down myself and killed.
when i run with a squad i have noticed noone uses scanners. now if you have a very good team scanners aren't needed because they can protect you ( the logi) but most of the time they are mediocre at best. so my question is why don't more people use scanners? and should i start using one, in place of one of my logi equipment slots so that i die less with scrub teams?

If you rely on scanners too much you will end up capping your awareness factor 10 fold and getting better at that requires time and patience.

Ive ran dampeners for a while and i was amazed about how much people relied on it to aquire there targets, i could just sidestep a few meters away from a frontline assault and be completely invisible vs whole teams that are considered "Awesome" if these great players do not receive target data their reaction speeds dropped like a brick, ofcourse now they had no idea i was there and could not adjust to pre-fire or "get-ready" for me to rear the corner.

I don't touch that thing and just react to moving pixels, it didnt excist in other shooters and i didnt need it there but i guess since most people buy wallhacks on PC shooter games, having there own legit wallhack here is what they need to not suck i suppose.

Some form of scanners or radar exists in all major titles.

But Dust's active scanners are the most powerful and rather game-breaking. In BF, you have to see the enemy in order to tag the enemy, and it doesn't last for as long. In CoD (the ones I played before I switched over to Dust completely), your active scanner was a piece of equipment you had to put on the ground, which had a limited scan radius. You were limited to one I believe and placing down a new one would destroy your previous one. They also produced a unique sound, were easily destroyed, and you can guarantee 100% stealth if you had the right perk to avoid detection.

Dust's active scanner is too powerful. Reason I say this is because you can take it anywhere with you, in addition to having a rather long scan range in comparison to other major game titles. Not to even mention that the proto scanner can scan down absolutely everything except the most dampened and skilled scout suit.

Advanced scanning displaying frame size Tacnet denial Tacnet intel manipulation Voice comms denial These were just a few examples given by CCP Remnant at FF last year. Feel free to rely just on your senses when the enemy squad has shut off your minimap, can see where you are, what you are and which way your facing with a couple of stealthed up scouts heading your way. I personally love situational awareness mechanics and will be specialising in all forms of intel gathering/denial/manipulation on my main. Yeah, here's the thing, I don't need a tacnet to punch through your skull with my knives while you flail helplessly because your scanners aren't picking me up. I use these old things called my eyes. Sure, they don't see through walls nearly as easily, but they're also remarkably hard to fool. And I'll be cloaked, so good luck, and remember: always check your six every second or two, because that's all a scout needs to rip you in half. I'm also a scout, my inherent situational awareness is fine and I have sunk my own Novie Wovies into many whose S.A isn't so fine but I'm not going to run from ewar so I can beat my chest over not using it. It's another aspect of D514 that sets it apart from the rest and I'm all for it. Subterfuge and terrorist GOD in the making Proud Minmatar - Alt of THE GREY CARDINAL Love the Art of War

Best ones are those who do that, and then you peek out, and they're running for the hills because they know they can't win without their crutches holding them up. EDIT: Running from? I'm embracing it. I'm only scanned with proto scanners at this point. There's a certain kind of warfare you're forgetting: Psychological. That nagging feeling that all you scans since you started running from one point to the next having errors is really just one guy, stalking you, waiting for the opportunity to sneak up and perform some emergency spine removal with his knives. I love just following people with scanners, because they play differently when they get errors. they get fidgety, spin around, generally act like there is someone out to get them. it's funny sometimes. If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

axu jen The Phoenix Federation Proficiency V. 14	Posted - 2014.02.23 10:56:00 - [42] - Quote I used to love scanners because they were such a tactical advantage, but eventually i came across 2 problems with them. 1. They became a crutch, the more you rely on them the less your situational awarness is, and if there is a dampened scout there you're screwed 2. By scanning you reveal the enemy position to your team, by the time you finish scanning your squad would have probably gotten all the kills, i know its selfish but damn when all of your squad goes 20 something thanks to you and you barely go 10 it sucks. Nowdays i only use scanners when the enemy team is using them because its just not fair.

There is scan going on ALL the time so I'm rather skeptical on this 'I never use a scanner' - BS. ALL the major corps I've bee against have proto scanners equipped every time I've seen 'em. As for myself, I use active scanner shamelessly. Would like to say though that I'm not dependent on it, I use it situationally. When using scout, I'm set with my passive.

I dont think people realize the full efftect scanners have,knowing where the enemy is and where their apporching armys are coming is highly valuable,however when depended on for too long, it leaves you blind without it,impairs your sense of awareness and makes you and the game experience "soft".Scanners should have never been this pin point accurate, and a general indcation to which way players were would have sufficed but this....,this is disgusting. A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

ALPHA DECRIPTER Dragon-Empire 758	Posted - 2014.02.23 22:31:00 - [60] - Quote I use them for 2 reasons. 1) Squad needs some direction (can't find enemies(normally looking for a tank), is pinned down, about to use OB). 2) Crowd control. A lot of people panic once scanned and begin to second guess themselves. Those that panic take longer to reach there destination and some have even made a full retreat. This gives my team more time to eliminate any current threats and prepare for the next attack. If my squad needs no direction and the team is doing a good job of holding the enemy's attention then I either place uplinks, use stealth to disable the enemy's rear line, or switch to remotes to fortify our own defenses. Many will agree with me when I say that you should never become dependent on active scanners. Doing so is just nurfing yourself. Scout Tactician Dance puppets, DANCE!
