Object Scanner

The Object Scanner is a tool used to scan objects of interest within a 250-meter radius. Its 'upgrades' are unlocked via MAM research, which allows for more objects to be scanned for.

With the Object Scanner equipped, to cycle through scan-able objects or hold down to open up the radial menu. After selecting a scan target, the light atop the scanner will glow and blink the same color as the selected object once one is detected. When looking and moving in the general direction of the detected target, the detection bar on its screen will rise. At the same time, the white noise sound produced by the Object Scanner will fade and be replaced by a beeping that gets progressively more rapid the closer the object is.

== Tips ==
* There are occasions that the beep is the strongest, but nothing can be found. This can mean the object is in a nearby cave or on a cliff.
* Some objects can be hidden inside the cracked boulders, which will be inaccessible without Nobelisks.
* Crash Sites will stop being detected after their Hard Drive is collected.
== Trivia ==
* The item is named "Gemstone Scanner" internally because Power Slugs were gemstones before being changed to slugs prior to release.YouTube - Coffee Stain - March 18th, 2022 - We pick apart our Community Wiki and talk about unreleased content - Snutt & Jace Talk: Object Scanner article
