Satellite Scan Terminal (サテライト・スキャン端末, Sateraito Sukyan Tanmatsu?) is an item that is automatically given to all the finalists of the 3rd Bullet of Bullets and the participants of the Squad Jam tournaments in Gun Gale Online to allow the competitors to find each other more easily.
Description[]
In the novel, the Satellite Scan Terminal was a smartphone-like device[1], while in the anime, the terminal was a white device that was close to the shape of a triangle, with one of the sides being considerably shorter than the other two.[2]. While in the novel the map was displayed on the screen of the terminal[3], in the anime the terminal produced a 3D hologram of the map[2]. The terminal has two main buttons, which allow the user to choose whether to display the map on screen, or in front of the user.[4] The scale of the map can be adjusted by the user pinching or spreading their fingers.[4] Once only ten seconds remain until the satellite scan is over, all the lights on the map begin to flicker.[3]
The Satellite Scan Terminal can be used for a certain amount of time every fifteen minutes during the Bullet of Bullet finals when a spy satellite passes over ISL Ragnarok[5] and every ten minutes during the 1st Squad Jam.[6]
During the scan in the Bullet of Bullets, all the players detected by the scan show up on the map: the ones still alive are displayed as vivid lights, while the dead players are displayed in dim lights.[3] A player may touch any flash on the map to find out the name of the player.[5]
During the scan in the Squad Jam, only the position of the team leader is indicated, with the team's name and the position of other members not being shown. Vivid white dots on the map indicate the position of a team leader, while dull grey dots indicate the last position of a team that was wiped out or surrendered.
