It uses the Anomaly Detector's icon.ĭetectors did appear in Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat, but with all new models and the ability to find artifacts instead of detecting anomalies. There is a detector you can purchase in multiplayer, but it uses a different description from any of the unused ones. The description for the white detector mentions the belt, which was a scrapped idea where you would have to place items, like the flashlight, ammo and other items, on the belt before you could use them. The orange one has no description, so there's no way to see what it did.
The other one, Anomaly Detector, would detect radioactive areas and anomalies. The first one, simply called Detector, would just detect anomalies. It seems that there were meant to be three types of detectors. In the final game, the player will hear a beeping sound when they get close to an anomaly or the usual Geiger counter sound when getting close to a radioactive area. They were meant to help the player find anomalies. Detectors were supposed to appear in Shadow of Chernobyl at one point.
