There have been some questions about the exact mechanics of the Analytic specialization, so we’ve ran some tests and it’s actually very simple. If a player is scanned, there name is placed on the right of the screen.
Once they’re name is there, the bonus damage will be applied to that player. The red diamond above the head does not need to be visible once the player has been scanned.
Motion sensors will not activate the Analytic bonus. Only getting a scan so their name appears on the right side of the screen will activate Analytic bonus against that player.
Scanning can only be completed in thermal and within 45m or less. If a player is mudded, they can be scanned, but you must aim directly at them.
