Recon Vapor should reveal cloaked enemies according to the description but it doesn't work for cloaked archaeans mutation.
Is it a bug or is it by design?

Hey @san1127 , thanks for pointing this out, and welcome to the forums!

We've not had any reports of this, so I'd certainly like to investigate. I'd expect the Recon Vapor tech to also outline cloaked enemies, given the description, although I've not yet tried it myself yet. Would you be able to record us a video showing cloaked enemies not being revealed by this tech? If you can let me know which platform you're on, I can link to some guidance on how best to record gameplay clips - and the resulting video can be uploaded to the video sharing service of your choice, and a link to the video sent to me here in the thread.

Alternatively, you could let me know which incursion or map this happened on, and which operator you were using - that should be sufficient for me to pass on this report for us to investigate internally.

Please let me know if I can clarify this request at all!

Hey there.

I'm gonna check in with the team as to whether this is indeed a bug or working as intended. If it's a bug I'll open this for investigation with the Extraction team based on the info you've provided. I'll get back to you as soon as I know more.

Thanks!

Hey there!

I've confirmed with the team that there should not be any restrictions on what Recon Vapor works on and it should reveal all Archaeans.

Could you let me know what types of Archaeans you've noticed this happening with other than Smasher?

I've raised this with the team now for further investigation. If we require more info from you or we have any updates on this we'll get back to you to let you know.

Thanks!
