Enemy-Detecting Radar | comment |
A few real-life combat vehicles have radar support (and all seafaring vessels are required to have at least one) that can help the pilot navigate the battlefield and avoid enemies, so it's no surprise that this is often part of video games that feature such systems. Sometimes it's justified as your character's equipment, or psychic, abilities or Handwaved as A Wizard Did It; other times it's just there with no explanation except to make the player's life easier. It may also partially model non-visual cues that humans tend to get like positional sound location (an aspect of the cocktail party effect) which are difficult to implement in video game sound systems which often lack the ability to create true positional sound. Alternately, the "radar" is used to detect hidden items instead. In some games, you will encounter enemies who can interfere with your radar in some way or other. Some jam the radar, filling the screen with static, others just don't show up at all or only show up randomly for a split second. This is usually justified with stealth technology and almost never affects visual detection or lock-ons. In cases where both enemy and friendly units will be shown, they will be color-coded]] for the player's convenience. A common variation is for the radar to only display enemy units that are attacking. It's also often tied to Fog of War, showing only enemies that you actually see normally. It may be part of a Level-Map Display. Related to Detect Evil, Aura Vision and Enemy Scan. |

In Company of Heroes, the British can choose the Royal Commandos Commander Tree (the Brits actually invented Radar in real WW2). You'll receive 3 Radar positions, which you can place randomly on the quadrangular map. This forms a triange between the three stations (see Bermuda Triangle), a Fog of War-free zone, where you can spot any enemy movments. This method can only supervise up to 50% of the map though (a triangle may fit twice into a quadrangle!), so you better concentrate all your scouts on the other halve... | |

Might and Magic 6 introduces the "new and improved" automap, which, when combined with the first Air magic spell "Wizard Eye", functions as an Life Detecting Radar - Green is Neutral, Red is Hostile, Blue is Loose Item, and Yellow is Lootable Body. Strictly speaking Blue is 'Point of Interest'. Most of the time that either means a chest or a loose item. Sometimes it is a map-object you can interact with (a fountain that regenerates health, a floor that moves, etc). |

The Alien: Isolation radar can detect any moving thing in front of you, be it human, droid, or alien. It also has lights to tell you if something is to your side or behind you, but not how far away it is. However, it cannot tell you if it's on the same level as you, and the beeping might alert other things to your presence. | |

In the MechWarrior series, radar is a staple of practically every game and is extremely useful in tracking enemies and their damage. 2 and 3 offer the 'satellite uplink' mode, which is more like a bird's eye view of the field. Each game has some kind of mission restriction or equipment to enhance or mess with the radar, including lots of false-positive decoy pods, electronic jammers, and range enhancing probes. | |

In Jurassic World, the park's command center can monitor most dinosaur movements through a combination of infrared and motion sensors, satellite imagery and implanted tracking beacons, the latter of which play an important dramatic role when the Indominus starts raising hell. They even manage to keep track of it after it rips out its implant, probably by following the trail of dino corpses and general devastation it leaves in its wake. It still manages to ambush the heroes on a regular basis despite being a 16-meters murder machine, but then again it's also a genetically engineered Living Weapon with a range of abilities nobody expected it to have. | |

The Ace Combat series has a radar system that varies a little between games. In some games, the color of a target indicates either its point value (Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies) or whether it's critical to the mission (Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War), in others it indicates its current health (Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War). Stealth planes generally fade in and out, making it difficult to keep track of them, and aircraft equipped with ECM systems would block portions of the radar or display false targets when close by. | |

World of Warcraft: The Hunter class has a feature that allows you to see all of one type of mob within the range of your minimap. This was previously limited to only tracking one type of thing at a time, which was fairly useless if the Hunter was also a miner and didn't want to miss out on collecting shiny rocks. Currently, the number of things that can be simultaneously tracked is limited only by the player's ability to sort through all of the dots. Paladins can track undead, warlocks can track demons, and druids in cat form can track humanoids. And herbalists can track plants, and miners can track rocks.... And rogues can track treasure chests. |

Skyrim has two spells, Detect Living and Detect Dead, which do what they sound like, letting you determine where people are located. The latter is a must-have for draugr ruins to spot where those sneaky undead might be hiding. There's also a Dragon Shout called Aura Whisper that detects everything that can move, living or undead, and has a very wide range and fast cooldown. Once you've got Aura Whisper, you should never fall into an ambush again. | |

A staple of Metal Gear games; In Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake the radar allows the player to see enemies on the surrounding screens. It shows both the guards positions and their vision cones to indicate when you can be seen. Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty both use Soliton radar, which were invented by Mei Ling. Apparently "It employs the KdV equation to detect the electromagnetic waves resulting from biological reactions." It can detect when people yawn, when they close their eyes, which way they are looking, and how far they can see. Triggering an alarm will result in the radar being jammed, as will using chaff grenades, and the radar won't work in enclosed spaces. As a prequel, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater doesn't feature the radar, as the game is set in a period before it was invented. There's a number of more primitive alternatives that can be found through the game, all of which need battery power. The Motion Sensor will only show moving guards and animals, so a stationary guard won't be shown. The Sonar will indicate everything, but has to be manually triggered and the 'ping' can alert guards. The AP sensor will vibrate when guards are near. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops has a Surround Indicator that can mark the direction and proximity of guards according to how much noise they make, as well as how noisy the player is. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker does not feature one traditionally, being set just 10 years after Snake Eater. However, you can acquire specs to build your own battery-powered Soliton Radar, continuity be damned, which functions identically to its appearance in previous games. Unfortunately, the battery consumption means that it's all but Awesome, but Impractical until the very last upgrade, whereupon it stops consuming battery. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots uses a similar Threat Ring, this time surrounding the player in 3D when they crouch rather than in a radar screen. The Solid Eye also gives a radar when worn that works similarly, which shows the position of the player and nearby characters, as well as a second circle around the player that expands or shrinks to indicate how large of a presence they're making themselves through sound and the like; running full-tilt will nearly fill the radar screen, while laying down and blending in with OctoCamo will make the circle only just barely larger than the one indicating their position. The camo index (indicating how effective your camouflage is against your current background) is also worked into the Solid Eye's radar, and will turn blue or red if you're currently harder or easier to notice amidst things like gunfire and mortar shells exploding nearby. |

In Enemy Zero, you're on a spaceship out in the middle of nowhere where a bunch of nasty aliens have come aboard and murdered everyone save you and a few others. Problem is, the aliens are completely invisible, and you get to roam the corridors of the ship, completely unable to see them. Your only way of knowing they're around is a sonar-ish device that starts pulsing louder and faster depending on how close the aliens are. | |

Warframe: Your minimap shows positions and facing of nearby enemies as red arrows that get filled up the more alert the enemy is. Ivara's passive grants her increased detection range by default, and there are mods —both for your warframe and companion— that increase it further. In Exterminate missions, you have a red waypoint which appears when there are no enemies on your radar, showing the way to the nearest one. If there are no hostiles currently detected, it will instead show the way to the extraction zone, which won't be available but moving towards it will guarantee that new enemies will appear. The HUD for archwings and Railjacks marks enemies with squares (or four-armed stars for crewships) that double as their hit point meters. When the enemy is off your field of view, their mark will still appear on the edge of your screen. |

Neverwinter Nights 2 has the Track ability, which pinpoints enemies on the minimap at a distance dependent on your Survival skill. You can toggle it on at the cost of movement speed, or you can take the Improved Tracking feat (free to rangers), which changes it to always-on and allows you to move at full speed. | |

The radio in Silent Hill emits ominous-sounding static whenever a monster is lurking nearby, but all it ends up doing is provide Paranoia Fuel since it doesn't tell you how far away said monster is or how many there are. The Variable Mix ambient music/noise also behaves similarly, which may be why they got rid of the radio altogether in the fourth game (except for the one in your room so you can check if it's haunted. | |

The X-Universe series has a Gravidar device fitted onto every ship and spacesuit, which can detect anything (bar Space Mines) within its detection radius, which can be expanded with the Duplex or Triplex scanner. Gravidar is shared between ships and satellites, allowing a satellite to be used as a Target Spotter for a missile frigate. The Gravidar returns in X: Rebirth's 2.0 update with some nifty new features; capital ships and stations are now rendered as 3d objects on the gravidar display, and the highway system is likewise shown on the gravidar. Entering a highway will switch the gravidar to a sector-wide highway map, or a tunnel map showing nearby ships in the highway. |

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots uses a similar Threat Ring, this time surrounding the player in 3D when they crouch rather than in a radar screen. The Solid Eye also gives a radar when worn that works similarly, which shows the position of the player and nearby characters, as well as a second circle around the player that expands or shrinks to indicate how large of a presence they're making themselves through sound and the like; running full-tilt will nearly fill the radar screen, while laying down and blending in with OctoCamo will make the circle only just barely larger than the one indicating their position. The camo index (indicating how effective your camouflage is against your current background) is also worked into the Solid Eye's radar, and will turn blue or red if you're currently harder or easier to notice amidst things like gunfire and mortar shells exploding nearby. | |

In most if not all Dungeons & Dragons game mechanics (and probably a lot of Tabletop RPGs in general) there are spells to detect the presence, location, and relative strength of a variety of creatures, usually in the form of Detect [Alignment], for creatures matching a particular type of alignment and Detect Undead, for undead creatures. There's also Detect Magic, which doesn't detect creatures, but magical items and spell effects. | |

Several equippable perks in Dead by Daylight are devoted to showing the "auras" of the characters, which is extremely valuable intel in a game focused on an invulnerable Killer hunting down four Survivors. There's also a few items with relevant add-ons that can achieve the same effect, with the obvious limitation that they can be used up, not to mention lost entirely if the survivor holding them is executed. | |

Halo puts a radar on the player's HUD in both single-player and multiplayer modes that displays the hostiles' locations. The one in Halo 4 can even indicate vehicle type (e.g. if an enemy is driving a Wraith, they'll appear in the shape of a Wraith on your motion tracker). That said, the tracker can be foiled by either crouch-walking or just moving really slowly. | |

The Mass Effect games feature both a radar on your HUD showing hostiles as red triangles, and enemies that can jam it, specifically geth. But the geth radar-jamming is more of a nuisance than anything else: its range is short enough that they only jam you when they're about to attack (meaning they can't really ambush an attentive player), and their flashlight heads are kind of a giveaway as to their location, even in thick fog. | |

FTL: Faster Than Light: The Long-Range Sensor augment marks nodes connected to your location with a yellow warning sign if there's a guaranteed spaceship encounter. This isn't exactly useful for evading hostiles as it can throw false positives (some guaranteed ship encounters are completely friendly with no option to turn them hostile) or false negatives (you can end up in what looks like a friendly zone only for all the options showing up forcing you into battle). Both the Slugs and the Lifeform Scanner augment allow seeing the crew on hostile spaceships. They become a tad redundant when you upgrade your ship's sensor, allowing for even more precise imaging of the enemy ships' interiors, but are still useful inside Space Clouds which jam the sensors. |

In Far Cry the player character finds a set of binoculars near the beginning of the game which allows him to isolate the tracking beacons of targetted enemies, putting them on the radar. So, once the enemies have been spotted once, they show up on the radar.

Final Fantasy XI possesses two radar systems. The first can be used by all the classes in the game and is part of the normal HUD, but actual targets you can attack will only show up if you have the Beastmaster, Ninja, Thief, Ranger, Summoner, or Blue Mage jobs either as your main or subjob. Beastmasters and Rangers(and anyone who subs them) can use Wide Scan, which essentially uses the map of the area as a radar for NPCs and monsters. You can even select one to "track", which allows you to hunt it down by pointing towards it on the normal radar. | |

Command & Conquer: In the original games, you don't have a minimap unless you build a Radar Dome, which will then show off the entire map (though areas covered by the shroud would appear as black space). Additionally, the later games add ways of detecting stealth units (typically, light vehicles might have sensors which reveal their location, meaning that players would be well advised to keep a few stealth detecting units around to avoid being ambushed). Though there were a few missions in the series that gave you the minimap even without a Communications Center (though those missions usually were the ones before you could build a Comm. Center, or those with no base at all). Command & Conquer: Generals: The USA can use a satellite scan (and have radar access) right off the bat as long as they have Command Centers, an ability that can eventually be researched by the GLA for their Radar Vans. The Chinese don't get it, instead having to rely on the detection capabilities of their troop crawlers. |

The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind and Oblivion feature spells like "Detect Humanoid", "Detect Creature", and "Detect Undead". Using them (or applying them as an enchantment effect to an item) will cause the applicable enemy type to show up on the mini-map. Also available are "Detect Magic/Enchantment" and "Detect Key" (presumably the result of a mage losing their tower key once too often). Skyrim has two spells, Detect Living and Detect Dead, which do what they sound like, letting you determine where people are located. The latter is a must-have for draugr ruins to spot where those sneaky undead might be hiding. There's also a Dragon Shout called Aura Whisper that detects everything that can move, living or undead, and has a very wide range and fast cooldown. Once you've got Aura Whisper, you should never fall into an ambush again. |

Pokémon: Over time, the "Item Finder" has evolved from a somewhat unhelpful noise maker if you were within 50 yards of something, to a "DowsingMCHN" that points out the EXACT location of a hidden item. It wasn't until Fire Red and Leaf Green that players got access to the "Vs. Seeker," which could detect trainers. That is, those who wanted to battle or have a rematch and were onscreen. The Pokeradar in Gen IV points you to hidden Pokemon via shaking grass. Trouble is it lasts a few steps and then needs 50 steps to recharge. Pokémon Legends: Arceus has a rudimentary one that alerts you with an icon near the top of the screen, a horizontal red line with an eye in the middle, if any wild Pokémon are attempting to attack you and you're not in battle with them. The music also changes; which one it uses depends on how safe you are if you are to an attack from the wild Pokémon. |

Total Annihilation has a mini-map that shows enemy buildings and troops once the Fog of War has been lifted. It even makes a distinction between "radar" and "visual range". Radar buildings and units have a large radius and will show incoming enemy units as dots on the minimap, but don't uncover Fog of War. | |

MAG has different uniforms for different factions, but allied players always show up as blue on the minimap and enemy players show up as red. This has led to expressions like "hey blue dot, heal me" and "fighting some red dot when..." | |

Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty both use Soliton radar, which were invented by Mei Ling. Apparently "It employs the KdV equation to detect the electromagnetic waves resulting from biological reactions." It can detect when people yawn, when they close their eyes, which way they are looking, and how far they can see. Triggering an alarm will result in the radar being jammed, as will using chaff grenades, and the radar won't work in enclosed spaces. | |

Morrowind and Oblivion feature spells like "Detect Humanoid", "Detect Creature", and "Detect Undead". Using them (or applying them as an enchantment effect to an item) will cause the applicable enemy type to show up on the mini-map. Also available are "Detect Magic/Enchantment" and "Detect Key" (presumably the result of a mage losing their tower key once too often). | |

The real-time strategy/real-time combat hybrid Final Legacy has a radar that shows only several ships at once (the ones that can currently be fought), and all currently discovered enemy missile launchers. If the enemy launches missiles from not-yet-discovered launchers, those launchers still do not show up on the radar and cannot be fought until Intelligence ships are destroyed. | |

The minimap in Syndicate shows the position of people, and distinguishes between civilians, police, enemy agents and targets. This is often known as an IFF (Identify Friend/Foe) system. They exist in Real Life, but those can only tell you if a signal is coming from a known friendly or not. It can't distinguish between enemies, civilians, or allies whose codes haven't been registered as such. | |

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker does not feature one traditionally, being set just 10 years after Snake Eater. However, you can acquire specs to build your own battery-powered Soliton Radar, continuity be damned, which functions identically to its appearance in previous games. Unfortunately, the battery consumption means that it's all but Awesome, but Impractical until the very last upgrade, whereupon it stops consuming battery. | |

As a prequel, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater doesn't feature the radar, as the game is set in a period before it was invented. There's a number of more primitive alternatives that can be found through the game, all of which need battery power. The Motion Sensor will only show moving guards and animals, so a stationary guard won't be shown. The Sonar will indicate everything, but has to be manually triggered and the 'ping' can alert guards. The AP sensor will vibrate when guards are near. | |

In Naval Ops series, you have a minimap radar in one corner of the screen and a close-range radar as part of your HUD since trying to spot enemy ships visually is a bit of a pain. Upgrading your ship increases the radar range. Sonar is required to spot submarines. Stealth enemies may not show up on the minimap, but they'll appear on the HUD. | |

Warhammer 40,000 has the auspex, a handheld or helmet-mounted scanner that can usually detect enemies. Unfortunately (in addition to all the problems with Imperial tech, against the tyranids it sometimes fails due to being calibrated for one species or the other and not hybrids, and sometimes because the 'nids know to stay just out of auspex range when building up their forces for a Zerg Rush. | |

Vehicles and the spacesuit in both Battle Zone 1998 and its sequel have a circular radar display, which shows the terrain in 3-dimensional wireframe, with friendly and enemy contacts displayed on top of the wireframe terrain. Different vehicles have different radar ranges, radar pulse rates, and inherent stealth abilities, the latter of which can be augmented by the RED Field generator or the Scion's Jammer building, which completely hides a vehicle from radar. | |

The Call of Duty series plays with this. In just about every game, there's a map in the top left corner of the screen which shows your squadmates as green chevrons and red dots representing enemy fire, in both World War II and Modern settings. This map could be disabled or enhanced in many ways: Calling a UAV or Recon Plane (depending on the setting) will periodically give you all enemy positions every few seconds. Oddly enough, even if said enemies are inside concrete bunkers with no windows. Modern Warfare 3 includes an "Advanced UAV" that updates more often, while the Black Ops games include, respectively, an SR-71 Blackbird, an "Orbital VSAT", and a "High Altitude Telemetry Reconnaissance" vehicle that show the positions of enemies in real-time (marking them as red chevrons) and, except for the H.A.T.R., can't be shot down like the standard UAV. Using tools/perks like UAV Jammer, Camouflage, Cold Blooded, Ghost, Assassin, Off the Grid, Low Profile or even simply shooting the UAV down will hide you from this sort of detection. As well, these maps can be defeated by using suppressed weapons; firing one wouldn't have you show up on enemy radar. In Modern Warfare 2, a Counter-UAV will completely disable enemy radar; it replaces the map, friendly positions, and enemy positions with static. The Scrambler perk also makes enemy radar more static-filled the closer to enemy personnel you get. Unfortunately, this can also act as an early-warning system to said enemies. Modern Warfare 2 and 3 also have heartbeat sensors available for certain weapons; and these can, for some reason, distinguish between friendly and enemy heartbeats. However, these can also be defeated by the 'Ninja' perk, which makes you invisible to such sensors. Finally, all enemy electronics can be disabled by using an EMP, which makes the only method of detection the Mark One Eyeball. Oddly enough, this only affects the enemy team - not yours. This is, however, averted in Hardcore mode where an EMP will disable all electronics. |

Fatal Frame has the Camera Obscura's filament and the main character's heartbeat. The filament glows when a ghost is nearby, and glows brighter if you're facing the ghost and/or getting closer to it. The character's heartbeat also speeds up the closer a ghost is. This is quite handy, because it is a common situation that ghost can be near you and you can't see it, either because it's in a wall or it's invisible at the time. | |

The map of the area you get in every mission in the Hitman games is insanely accurate, even displaying which way doors open, where the fusebox is, and tracking the movement of every person on the premises, Agent 47 included. On the higher difficulty levels, details are removed. On the hardest level, only 47 himself is shown on the map, making the "look through keyhole" action quite handy. |

In Guns of Icarus, the radar is absolutely vital for tracking the position of enemies, since your vision will be obscured by clouds and weather conditions, and you'll be attacked from all sides—enemies will retreat out of your vision range and circle around to the other side of your ship—so if you don't watch the radar, expect to die. | |

In ECHO, the player character En is surrounded by a holographic sphere made of triangles whose colours rougly indidicate the hostile echoes' distance and alertness level; blue means patrolling, yellow means En is in their field of view, orange means they are alerted by her, and red means she should run. | |

XCOM The classic MicroProse series uses two types: On the geoscape, bases need radar arrays (or sonar in the case of Terror From the Deep) to locate UFOs. These come in three sizes with increasing range, and the most advanced type will give detailed information on alien craft and their missions. On the battlescape, troopers can carry a Motion Scanner (Particle Disturbance Sensor in Terror From the Deep) that will detect units that have moved since the player's last turn, even through walls. However, it doesn't tell friend and foe apart, has a very basic display (for instance, a large contact can be either a large unit or a small unit moving quickly), and is rather short range. The Firaxis Games reboot has three: The stand-ins for the old base radar arrays are satellites that can be deployed over the Council countries. They detect UFOs flying over the covered countries, guarantee funding from said countries and are critical to controlling nation-wide panic in three ways: 1) launching a satellite immediately reduces the panic level by two points out of five, 2) at the end of each month they have a chance to reduce panic by one point, and the chance increases the higher the panic level is, and 3) they preclude the Sadistic Choice that is the "Alien Abductions" mission, where you can only help one country out of three. The flipside to these advantages are that satellites take 20 full days to build until very late in the gamenote after you research Advanced Construction in the Foundry, you can spend double the money to halve the time to 10 days, require Satellite Uplink or Nexus installations to manage the feeds, and if you ignore a UFO for whatever reason, they can be shot down by a following contact (and instantly raise the country's panic to the breaking point). The Battle Scanner is a round camera-like device that can be thrown like a grenade, and reveals a section of the Fog of War without alarming the enemies it sees; it also blows the cover on invisible+ Seekers in XCOM: Enemy Unknown's Enemy Within Expansion Pack, disguised+ Faceless in XCOM 2 or concealed+ Spectres and the Chosen Assassin in XCOM 2's War of the Chosen Expansion Pack enemies within its area of effect but does not affect the invisibility or concealment of the soldier that deploys it. In XCOM: Enemy Unknown it's normally a Sniper-exclusive Lieutenant skillnote any soldier can get it at any rank with the ability-shuffling "Training Roulette" Second Wave option introduced in Enemy Within and has two "charges" per mission, while in XCOM 2 it's a regular item with only one "charge" developed after performing an autopsy on an ADVENT Trooper. In XCOM 2, Specialists at Sergeant rank or above have access to Scanning Protocol, a skill where they use their GREMLIN to increase their sight radius and reveal disguised or concealed enemy units. It only lasts one turn, though. In both continuities, the Hyperwave Relay is a base structure that complements the radar surveillance with info on the UFO's mission and the species on board. |

Armored Core has this in almost every game, often color coded, but in a bit of a different way; The colors of enemies on radar change depending on their vertical alignment with you (blue for higher, yellow for lower). Starting with Armored Core 4, this system is abolished in favor of a 3D radar, but target enemies show up in red while everything else is white. Noteworthy in that the radar actually has a scan interval between updates. Equipping a rapid-scan radar makes it a lot easier to perform a High-Speed Missile Dodge, since you can trace the missile trajectories even when they circle behind you, but very often there's a tradeoff between fast scan times and longer radar ranges. |

In Metroid: Samus Returns, the Metroid counter from the original Metroid II: Return of Samus gets a slight upgrade; it now blinks whenever a Metroid is close. The closer the Metroid, the darker the color of the icon and the more quickly it blinks. The Metroid amiibo takes this further by marking the nearest Metroid on your map screen. | |

The closer the Metroid, the darker the color of the icon and the more quickly it blinks. The Metroid amiibo takes this further by marking the nearest Metroid on your map screen. In Metroid Dread, the game's mini-map shows an E.M.M.I.'s location whenever Samus enters its zone. Though only when the E.M.M.I. is in close proximity. |

In Aliens: Colonial Marines, the motion tracker's a bulky machine you cannot have equipped at the same time as a gun. It also has a proxemity function, the distinctive, hot-and-cold "mlinging... mlinging... mlinging..." audio clue from the film to let you know how close an enemy is. | |
