Mass Effect: Andromeda – Scanning Planets and Star Systems
Scanning Planets and Star Systems (PS4)
Some planets and star systems contain anomalies that you can scan. In the case of a planet, you may also spy a landing zone so you can go to the planet’s surface. To find the landing spot or anomaly on a planet, hold the L2 button to activate your scanner, and then move the left stick to home in on it. Once you’ve found it, press the R2 button to deploy a probe (to find resources or other interesting discoveries) or land the Tempest.
