Starfield: You Should Probably Start Scanning People

Many aspects of the scanner’s utility in Starfield are obvious, but scanning people is one use with an efficacy that can come as a surprise. As an adventure focused on interplanetary exploration, Starfield relies heavily on the scanner feature. Selecting it will overlay the screen with an interface that adds a new layer of interactivity, highlighting objects that can be scanned inside a circle that rings the center of the view. This makes it possible to learn information about the subject in focus, delivering details of the galaxy that Bethesda has created.
