Effect Detects nearby enemies
Scanners are a cheap and effective piece of wargear. They give a commander a significant tactical edge by indicating the direction and range to the nearest enemy. Scanners can "see" through any type of physical or energy barrier. They are also extremely useful at detecting hiding units such as scouts, turning an enemy ambush into a stationary target.

Since scanners must be held to be operated, they cannot be used while the owner is firing a weapon or engaged in combat. Therefore one must be wary of attacks from the rear while engaged in heavy battle.
