I know the dart pulse itself shows up. But does firing the tool ping my location on the mini-map? Occasionally, while being evasive it occurs to me to fire the dart in a very different direction to misdirect my pursuers. But if firing the tool shows up on the mini-map, this is obviously counter-productive. Does anyone know if using the tool counts as firing a weapon as far as the mini-map is concerned?
Not sure about sound detection but when you fire the dart, the scanning circles show up in-flight so your general location may be given away.
chances are nobody will ever notice what Problem said though, maybe 1/5000? Don't even worry about it, might as well worry about a meteorite landing on your head. It doesn't do a red dot.
I know for a fact that it used to ping you on the mini-map, it's been a very long time since I've heard anything about it though.
