| Enforcers (and Elite Enforcers) can investigate their [[:guard behaviour#interest point]] by throwing a Scan Grenade near it. When thrown, the scan detects [[:agents:]] in a radius of 6 tiles. The scan is blocked by [[:cover#tall cover]] and [[:cover#hard cover]], but not [[:cover#soft cover]]. In [[:modes:Endless]] and [[:modes:Endless Plus]] modes, starting from day 13, scan grenades also deactivate [[:cloaking]] effects and [[:agents:Archive Prism]]'s [[:items:Holo Projection Mesh]] on agents within the scan radius. | Enforcers (and Elite Enforcers) can investigate their [[:guard behaviour#interest point]] by throwing a Scan Grenade near it.

| Enforcers generally throw a Scan Grenade to investigate a "fresh" interest point, once they have moved into [[:vision|line of sight]] of it. If the scan detects an agent, the Enforcer's interest point is updated to the agent's location. If multiple agents are within the scan radius, only one is located. Otherwise, if no agents are located, the interest point remains unchanged. Either way, unless the Enforcer receives another "fresh" interest point before the next enemy turn, after throwing a Scan Grenade they will subsequently investigate their interest point in the usual way (by moving to it and [[:peeking#guard peeking|peeking]]) rather than by throwing another Scan Grenade. | Enforcers generally throw a Scan Grenade to investigate a "fresh" interest point that is sufficiently far away from them, once they have moved into [[:vision|line of sight]] of it.

However, if the Enforcer receives another "fresh" interest point before this, then they may throw another Scan Grenade. |
