Scouting Orbs are Mechanist devices that allow Garrett to spy on places from a distance without revealing himself.
Uses
- Enables observation of remote locations
- Allows for viewing around corners or over walls
- Can be retrieved
Tactics
Scouting Orbs bounce when impacting the ground, allowing them to be thrown around corners or over walls. Once the Orb settles, it begins to transmit images from its location, which will replace Garrett’s point of view.
Press the ‘Use’ key to stop the transmission and return to your normal point of view. Once finished with them, Scouting Orbs can be retrieved and re-used.
For these reasons, Scouting Orbs are unmatched in their ability to collect valuable intel, but are rarely required. A single Orb is usually sufficient for most missions, and if used properly can prove a very useful tool.
