This small tool allows you to scan the map for all sorts of loot crates. It uses a little bit of Element Dust to resonate with the supply crates, underwater crates and even artifacts. Press M when equipped, It will display the rarity, type and location of every found crate on the integrated map as well as in a handy list showing the coordinates and even the remaining integrity before it expires.
Select your target in the list or click on the map to place a marker that can be tracked when holding the Loot Crate Scanner in hand.
If you want to know what is inside the crate from far away, use some more Dust to scan the content.
The Scanner now can also target Element nodes.
Using a lot of Dust the Scanner can also open a wormhole next to the crate. Technically teleporting the holder to the crate. [Spoiler] Be carefull, if the crate is still in the air when it is scanned, the poral will also be up there. [/spoiler]
In case you are low on element dust, it can also be used to revert Element Shards or pure Element back to Dust, but at a loss.
Now there are also stationary maps (Table and Wall) that show the crate locations and automatically update every few seconds and display the drop locations easily visible. (currently not working on the center but working on auto calibration).
Works on Single- and Multiplayer.
Loads on every map. Most map work out of the box, if the Marker position is off try auto calibrate in game. If you find maps that don\\\'t work, let me know.
Orbital Supply Drops on Extinction can not be scanned.
