Scanner Bonus & Multi-tools

[Carambar]

Hélo :-)

Does the scan bonus from the different types of multi-tools have an impact on the amount of money per scan?

Does an S-class Experimental Tool naturally generate more units per scan than an S-class Rifle? Or does it only affect scanning range? (which seems to be capped at 750u according to wiki)

My understanding is some tool types have a better maximum range for scanning then others. That can be a good thing and a bad thing. I had an experimental for awhile and stuff like Oxy would show up as icons even though they were an unreasonable distance away to hoof it on foot.

Generally a greater range is a good thing, especially to catch POIs.

The type of MT doesn't affect how much you earn. Only the percentage bonus from the upgrade modules affects your return. The scanner range, however, is greatly affected by the MT. The Royal and the Experimental have superior range. I've arranged my Scanner and upgrade modules to yield over 3,000u on my main Experimental. : )
