Survey Beacon

A Survey Beacon on World's Edge.

Survey Beacons are structures found on Battle Royale maps, which certain legends can interact with to locate nearby enemies on the map.

Function

• Legends that can use Survey Beacons include:
  • All Recon legends (Bloodhound, Crypto, Valkyrie, Seer, Vantage, Sparrow)
  • Pathfinder, using the Field Research (Pathfinder) legend upgrade
• Takes 3 seconds to interact with using E///.
  • Each squad can only use Survey Beacons once per round.
  • Using the Survey Beacon releases a visible scan wave that enemies can see.
• Using Crypto's Surveillance Drone to interact or launching Sparrow's Tracker Dart near to these beacons will activate the Survey Beacons immediately.
• Finds enemies within 500 meters and marks them on the minimap.
  • Releases 3 pulses over the course of 15 seconds, marking enemies for 5 seconds each pulse.
  • Marks are not live-updating and will not move with the enemy.
• Rewards 75 EVO points to the whole squad when used.
