"...Yeah, those heat lamps are a minor annoyance to scan once you've scanned a hundred or so, not like a Kett generator or similar object that you scan once and they no longer appear with that orange/red glow.  I still find myself scanning all those heaters on the off chance that it is something new..."

YEAH!  Me too, lol.  Like I know they won't give me any points but still, I scan every time.  It's like I have some weird OCD going on haha.  You and I should start a support group for others like us.  Scanners Anonymous.

Another thing that annoys me with the scanner sometimes... sometimes you have to find the perfect spot to scan something.  I've been on the glowing part of something and it isn't good enough.  In fact, there's times where the scanner won't scan the object unless you're not on the glowing part??  

PS - I hate scanning footprints in this game.


Pretty much me as well. And those shield generators on Eos that protects Site 1 and 2 from the radiaton. I still scan them even today just because all of them are glowing red. They not giving me anything but i still do.

Worse if i have TONS of resarch points and i dont wanna miss out anything even if i know having currently 1500 points would be enough till the end of the game because i need to resarch only the cryo gauntlet from the remnant tree which is already lvl6 and on lvl7 or 8 i probably finish the game.

2 days ago did Cora's loyalty mission and scanned every debris on the Leusinia and. Cant tell why.

In this playthrough i discovered a new mission too "Aid APEX" which required to scan enemies - i had 12 scanned out of 20. It was hilarious in a firefight chasing a certain enemy with a scanner while others were shooting at me. I got even killed twice 😃, and once because the enemy was already scanned but i thought its not glowing bc. im not close enough.
