POI Beacon Scan

In Apex Legends, understanding the map and positioning is crucial to achieving victory. One of the tools available to players for gaining strategic insights into the map is the POI Beacon Scan.

What is a POI Beacon Scan?

The POI Beacon Scan is an in-game mechanic that allows certain Legends to interact with Survey Beacons scattered across the map. This interaction reveals the location of the next ring, providing a significant strategic advantage by allowing teams to plan their movements accordingly.

Not all Legends can use the POI Beacon Scan. Currently, the Legends who can interact with Survey Beacons are part of the Recon class. These include:

  • Pathfinder - Known for his versatility and mobility, Pathfinder can also scan beacons to provide valuable information to his team.
  • Bloodhound - While primarily a tracker, Bloodhound can use beacons to enhance team strategy. See also Bloodhound Ult Push.

  1. Early Game Planning: Use the beacon scan early in the game to determine safe routes and avoid congested areas.
  2. Mid-Game Positioning: Knowing the next ring location helps in setting up advantageous positions and ambushes.
  3. Late Game Dominance: In the final circles, the information from a beacon scan can be the difference between victory and defeat, allowing your squad to position strategically for the final showdown.
