Scanner

A scanner is a device used for obtaining details about plants and animals in the player's environment, that is initially provided when they find the remains of the Anita crash or can be made in the Compact Armory. Holding left-click when using the device when pointing at a valid target displays a progress wheel. When complete, information will be added to your Journal about the animal/plant/other that has been scanned.

As with the MK1 MultiTool, the scanner runs on batteries. The HUD shows the amount of charge left per battery and the total charge of the remaining batteries on the bottom right. Press R to reload when the current battery is exhausted.

Right-clicking with the device in hand triggers a range scanner that will show the types of scannable objects present in the location (animals, ores, etc.)
