What's the point in arguing something that is just ignorance?

 the geth
scanner increases your ability to find targets

*opinion, not ignorance. Opinions have a way of finding themselves on forums.

I disagree though, everyone says it's so great at locating enemies but IMO not really. It gives you a bit more accuracy I guess for shooting through walls, but often times you can catch enemy health/shields icon through walls anyways.

It gives me a brief period to set up on an enemy. Within that brief period generally I can have a power ready or a headshot ready, which trumps any other gear in the game except maybe grenade gear for me.  Now I can kill effectly without it and survive effectly without it but it trumps any weapon boosting gear for me because of the headshot factor and it allows me to use powers that go through walls well, not even mentioning setup biotic bubble or cain mines etc.

 When you are using the Geth Scanner or HM for the first time you'll see WHITE...  but then after a while .. YOU WILL ONLY SEE RED

Err, depending on sound alone is a terrible idea because the sounds in this game are horrifyingly wonky when it comes to pinpointing enemies.

According to the sounds, Nemeses and Marauders are RIGHT BEHIND ME a lot of the time, which is rarely true.

Also, Bombers and Praetorians laugh at your headphones.

Overrated?....Perhaps but it does make a match easier. I don't use it a lot because of the visual eyesore it gives me but for certain characters it's icing on the cake.

Wallhacks can't be overrated

Only wonky when spawning in my eperience.

Yes Bombers are the bane of my existance:unsure: Same with pre-patched Drell Reave:lol:

It's simple, play the game with good headphones, don't listen to music while playing.

Pretty much this covers it.

Maybe for someone who just unlocked a Fury, and is learning how to tele, or someone who "plays casually" and listens to music or is doing other things while palying, it could be useful.  But I find this gear to probably be the most useless out of any gear.

With audio clues + experience your situational awareness is perfectly fine, however with the hunter mode overlay it is slightly impaired. Combine that with the fact that there are much much more useful gear that you could use... Geth Scanner just seems pointless.

Discuss.

Rudimentary creature of blood and flesh, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.

simplified, so +1 for logiic, however

stronghold package (!or survivor loadout ) = gi, jug, destroyer, Valkyrie 

lots of kits with a hurricane = barrage gear

on some classes where you are using the geth scanner, you are saying they don't need it for health or weapon damage, could argue for armored compartments.

Is it still hurting people's eyes? To me it isn't as bright and doesn't have those annoying up and down lines across the screen. Also I have a question: Does anyone use it on a geth if they spec out of hunter mode? (I.E. Geth Trooper)

[d_nought]

It's good for getting headshots through cover. Really good, actually.

[DcIhNaGv3z]

Its overrated? I was thinking its underrated gear. I rarely see anyone use geth scanner. But the more I use it, the more I like it. Easily attained situational awareness is hard to pass up, and I also have nice headphones as well.

[FlowCytometry]

if you have good situational awareness, the scanner can only improve it further. I'm just glad there's something other than grenade gear or AC V that's really good for that slot.

Geth Scanner increases situational awareness. If you already have good situational awareness, you don't need it.
