Lethal Company SCAN Command Guide

SCAN is your fastest way to convert uncertainty into numbers. The command helps you judge if a run can clear quota before committing to risky extra loot.

What SCAN Gives You

SCAN provides a quick view of available scrap value around the facility context. It is not perfect forecasting, but it is strong enough for captain-level planning.

How to Use SCAN with Sell Targets

After a scan, compare expected haul with your remaining quota gap. If projected value is already enough, prioritize safe extraction over greedy extensions.

  • Run SCAN early after landing.
  • Estimate if current route covers minimum target.
  • Use the quota calculator before deciding extra risk.

Team Communication Format

Clean scan callouts reduce confusion and help every teammate align on risk level.

  • Call total expected value and confidence level.
  • Announce whether the run is quota-clear or quota-short.
  • State if an additional room sweep is mandatory.
