Probably Stolen Augs: Identification and Scanner
Use the Augmented Identification Guide to investigate suspicious customers, and seek a completed Aug Scanner result before acting on an uncertain case. A suspicious line or unusual face is a reason to inspect, not a confirmed identity.
Compare the official eight warning signs
The official store screenshot shows three visual clues: a visible chip, unusual pupils and an uncanny expression. It also lists unnatural stillness, twitching, an outfit inconsistent with the faction, robotic vocabulary and overly formal phrasing. Look at the whole face, the named faction and the conversation together.
Distinguish ready from a completed scan
The early-release scanner reference for build 26274380 distinguishes Ready to scan from the result labels AUG DETECTED and No Aug detected. The former is a waiting state. Keep its cell powered and follow the device's displayed interaction; this guide does not guess a current activation gesture or turn an idle panel into a negative result.
Choose the correct response
The Mentor's photographed note tells you to shoot only when certain and warns that an Aug can flee before Security arrives. A wanted criminal is a different system: compare that person with the poster and use Call Security. Do not substitute a bounty match for an Aug result. The 1.0.0.12 shotgun retention changes also mean older advice about when the weapon disappears can be outdated.
FAQ
Is robotic speech enough proof?
The manual lists it as a clue. It does not establish a one-clue shooting threshold.
Is Scav Scanner the same tool?
No. Scav Scanner supports scavenging; Aug Scanner checks suspected Augs. AquaScan is for liquids.
