Video is in German, it shows off the ability to scan mineables and other players.

From the video it doesn’t look like it works for dropped items or ships.

CIG has talked about armor sets specialized with different features.

We have combat specialized helmets now that help you to see your cross-hair/kills.

This looks like an early iteration towards scanning specialized armor sets.

Edit: And currently only achievable by attaching your helmet to your hip.

Edit2: Video from MrKraken pointing out that this also works with the Antium Helmet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdsE5h9ENuw

    I ran the audio through Whisper for a translation:

    Tap for full translation.

    [00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000] Did you know that FPS scanning is already in-game?
    [00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:18.500] When? I don’t know. It’s in.
    [00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:20.900] On foot, yes.
    [00:00:20.900 --> 00:00:23.200] But it’s only half in.
    [00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:25.000] It’s in like…
    [00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:30.600] CIG wanted to test something but didn’t implement it.
    [00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:32.900] Look at that.
    [00:00:32.900 --> 00:00:35.000] Nice, right?
    [00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.600] How did the Knebel just do that?
    [00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:42.000] I just scanned it in FPS.
    [00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.600] Now it’s gone again.
    [00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.200] I’ll do it again.
    [00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.400] Not bad, right?
    [00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:51.600] Now the question is how.
    [00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.400] Look, I’ll put on my helmet.
    [00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:58.300] I’ll ping again.
    [00:00:58.300 --> 00:01:00.100] It won’t come.
    [00:01:00.100 --> 00:01:05.300] It only works if you have your helmet on your pants.
    [00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:07.400] Then it’ll come.
    [00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.700] And then just tap, without helmet.
    [00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:15.600] But that’s important. I think the helmet has to be on the pants, not in the backpack.
    [00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:17.000] If I put it in here… [00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.200] …then I don’t think it’ll work.
    [00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.400] It really has to…
    [00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.400] It really has to be on the pants with the H-button.
    [00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:27.100] And then it’ll work.
    [00:01:27.100 --> 00:01:28.900] And yes, you’ll find players with it.
    [00:01:28.900 --> 00:01:33.600] Also NPCs. You can ping everything in FPS.
    [00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:36.200] Everything you can ping in a ship.
    [00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.900] Although… I don’t think you can ping ships.
    [00:01:38.900 --> 00:01:39.900] That won’t work.
    [00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:44.300] But FPS stones, rock stones, other players, NPCs…
    [00:01:44.300 --> 00:01:47.500] I think even loot. Wait, I’m not sure about loot.
    [00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:48.900] I’ll drop…
    [00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:50.900] …a magazine.
    [00:01:52.700 --> 00:01:54.800] I’m not sure if that’s also pinged.
    [00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:58.200] No, I don’t think magazines work.
    [00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.400] Range. Oh, it’s pretty high.
    [00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.100] I’ll go up the mountain.
    [00:02:04.100 --> 00:02:05.300] So, 50 meters.
    [00:02:05.300 --> 00:02:08.500] That’s important to know for you, if you’re playing PvP, for example.
    [00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:10.400] And you think you’re invisible.
    [00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:11.400] You’re not.
    [00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:15.300] If people are running around without helmets, then you can ping yourself.
    [00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:17.900] And at 50 meters.
    [00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:24.100] If we have a mod right here, I’ll show you that with the FPS ping on the player.
    [00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:26.500] But it’s…
    [00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:27.900] It’s interesting, right?
    [00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:31.400] It would only make sense with helmets.
    [00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.700] That’s why they probably tested it internally.
    [00:02:33.700 --> 00:02:36.900] And there are probably code numbers in the patch.
    [00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:40.100] And they’re bound to these non-helmets.
    [00:02:40.100 --> 00:02:41.800] So, the fact that the helmet is on the belt.
    [00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.400] No idea what they were doing there, but it actually works.
    [00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:45.800] And it was very, very good.
    [00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.800] [Music]
    [00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.000] Uh!
    [00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.000] My poor ship.
    [00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.000] We’re not talking about it.
    [00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.100] Okay, we’re not talking about it.
    [00:03:00.100 --> 00:03:03.400] [Laughter]
    [00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:04.900] Oh, nice.
    [00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:07.300] So, I’ll show you how I can ping a view.
    [00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:08.700] So, still on a ship.
    [00:03:08.700 --> 00:03:09.700] I can’t ping there.
    [00:03:09.700 --> 00:03:13.100] But as soon as he’s out there, I can ping him, I think.
    [00:03:13.100 --> 00:03:13.600] Let’s see.
    [00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.400] [Music]
    [00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.400] Yeah, because of the party, probably.
    [00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.700] View, where are you floating to?
    [00:03:24.700 --> 00:03:26.000] [Laughter]
    [00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.700] That looks very good.
    [00:03:28.700 --> 00:03:33.600] I’ll go out of the party for a moment.
    [00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:39.900] Uh, party, leave group.
    [00:03:39.900 --> 00:03:43.400] So, where is the view?
    [00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:44.800] There he is!
    [00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:45.700] Did you see that?
    [00:03:45.700 --> 00:03:49.600] No?
    [00:03:49.600 --> 00:03:54.500] I think you have to move somehow or something.
    [00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:56.000] Yes, you see that? There he is.
    [00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.400] But it’s bugging around.
    [00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.100] So, with NPCs and players, I think only when they move.
    [00:04:01.100 --> 00:04:02.700] If you keep quiet…
    [00:04:02.700 --> 00:04:06.900] …then I can’t ping you anymore.
    [00:04:06.900 --> 00:04:08.800] That’s highly interesting.
    [00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.600] Because that really means that the signature stuff is already in it.
    [00:04:12.600 --> 00:04:17.300] So, if he moves, then he becomes louder and thus covered.
    [00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:17.800] Do you see that?
    [00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.400] Now he moves again and I see him again.
    [00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:21.300] [Laughter]
    [00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:24.600] I find everything very, very exciting.
    [00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:29.400] Yes.
    [00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:30.600] Crazy, right?
    [00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.100] So, I’ll just log in again.
    [00:04:34.100 --> 00:04:40.500] And just at 50 meters, that’s not bad.
    [00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:41.700] That’s pretty decent.
    [00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:45.400] [Music]
    [00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:48.100] Uh, if the sniper doesn’t move, it’s invincible.
    [00:04:48.100 --> 00:04:50.100] Uh, probably.
    [00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:50.700] I don’t know.
    [00:04:50.700 --> 00:04:51.100] Wait a minute.
    [00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:52.300] I’ll go out of the party for a moment.
    [00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:53.600] We’ll test something else.
    [00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.800] The view, stop.
    [00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.000] No, I can’t ping now.
    [00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.200] Run left, right.
    [00:05:01.200 --> 00:05:04.000] Yes, then you will be covered.
    [00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.100] Uh, can you stop and draw my weapon?
    [00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:13.700] [Music]
    [00:05:13.700 --> 00:05:15.400] And now shoot up.
    [00:05:15.400 --> 00:05:19.000] Do you see that?
    [00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.600] He pops up with every shot.
    [00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.600] Because of the noises.
    [00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.100] Yes.
    [00:05:25.100 --> 00:05:32.800] So, I just think it’s cool that actually, that is, that is really already implemented, right.
    [00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:38.000] From the basic, that, uh, the noises you make, the movements you make or shots.
    [00:05:38.200 --> 00:05:40.400] That they really imitate a signature.
    [00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:42.300] And then can be found.
    [00:05:42.300 --> 00:05:48.600] Very exciting.
    [00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.600] Now it’s too far away, I can’t ping anymore.
    [00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.400] So a sniper you can’t find.
    [00:05:54.400 --> 00:06:00.000] We can test something else.
    [00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.400] Now I see you again.
    [00:06:01.400 --> 00:06:06.700] Uh, let’s test something else again.
    [00:06:06.700 --> 00:06:09.500] Can you put your helmet on your hip?
    [00:06:09.500 --> 00:06:14.400] And then ping, just like in the spaceship.
    [00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:15.400] Do you see me?
    [00:06:15.400 --> 00:06:18.500] No, I don’t see.
    [00:06:18.500 --> 00:06:19.400] Don’t you see me?
    [00:06:19.400 --> 00:06:20.600] No.
    [00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:23.300] Then it may be a new armor.
    [00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:25.900] That it already has the feature in it.
    [00:06:25.900 --> 00:06:27.800] Because I see you.
    [00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.500] Maybe the weapon is gone, but no, it’s not possible.
    [00:06:31.500 --> 00:06:34.200] It could be the armor.
    [00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:38.200] Maybe it already has a new code in it, which they forgot to take out again.
    [00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:41.700] Um, I have the new armor on me too.
    [00:06:41.700 --> 00:06:43.100] We can test that right away.
    [00:06:43.100 --> 00:06:43.600] Yes.
    [00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:48.500] It’s pretty blatant.
    [00:06:48.500 --> 00:06:52.200] The Pay2Win armor.
    [00:06:52.200 --> 00:06:58.600] So.
    [00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.300] Left on the glasses.
    [00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:03.600] It can be.
    [00:07:03.900 --> 00:07:06.100] Shit, that would be funny if it was on the glasses.
    [00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:07.800] Wait a minute, that’s a good idea.
    [00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.200] I don’t think so.
    [00:07:09.200 --> 00:07:10.100] Moment.
    [00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:12.500] No.
    [00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:14.900] On the glasses, it really is on the armor.
    [00:07:14.900 --> 00:07:19.100] But it would be funny if it was on the glasses.
    [00:07:19.100 --> 00:07:21.000] Then it would really be the glasses of the wide view.
    [00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.200] Ah, nice.
    [00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.000] To be continued …

      Looks like I also found the character limit for Lemmy comments.

      The last part cut off from the transcription was “The next part will be available soon. Subscribe!”

      Whisper is an ML model (STT), so there can definitely be some issues with the translation.

      It sounds like you need to attach your helmet to your hip to get it working.
      The keybind should be “Alt + H” (I just don’t remember if that’s Left or Right Alt).

      Are there any other armors in-game that are considered “scanning” focused armors? It might work with those as well.

      Edit: Added missing line from cutoff transcription.
