Recon Detection Device

|-|Standard=
 * -|RD-GG=

The  is a tool available to the Infiltrator. It is auto-granted at rank 1, and upgraded using Certification Points.

The Recon Detection Device fires sensor darts, which stick to any surface they hit and pulse periodically to reveal the location of enemies within range who are moving in any stance except crouched. This pulse reveals their exact location at that moment, although will quickly fades and will not update until the next pulse. Each pulse has a period of 3.25 seconds, reduced by up to 1.25 seconds based on the rank of the device.

Sensor darts last for between 20 and 45 seconds, based on the rank of the device, and the infiltrator can fire up to six at once, with the oldest being immediately removed if any more are fired. Reconnaissance darts are physical objects in the world, emitting a clear sound and glowing a bright yellow. They can be destroyed through gunfire, immediately stopping the scanning effect, although darts reward no experience for their destruction.
