A scanner module is a currently useless electrical item.

Usage

Scanner modules serve no purpose in the game. They cannot be dismantled or crafted into anything. Currently, they mostly serve to provide realism to the player while looting.

Distribution

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default loot settings, and median zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits.

Containers

Building/Room	Container	Effective chance
Electrician	crate	19.27%
Electrician	metal_shelves	19.27%
closet	crate	19.27%
garagestorage	crate	19.27%

Trivia

• In Project Zomboid directory/media/lua/server/recipecode.lua, there exists a function to obtain the item named DismantleRadioSpecial, though it is never called.
• While a model exists in the game's files, it has no texture. When the item is dropped in game, it shows the 2D icon on the ground.
