Samus has access to two primary visors: the Combat Visor and the Scan Visor. The Combat Visor is your default visor, providing standard vision and targeting reticle for combat. The Scan Visor (activated by holding B) is an invaluable tool for exploration, puzzle-solving, and lore acquisition. When active, it allows Samus to scan objects, enemies, and environmental elements. Scanning enemies reveals their weaknesses, attack patterns, and lore entries, which are crucial for developing effective combat strategies. Scanning environmental objects can reveal hidden passages, activate mechanisms, or provide clues for puzzles. Throughout the game, you'll also acquire the X-Ray Visor, which allows you to see through certain walls and detect hidden energy conduits or weak points, and the Thermal Visor, which highlights heat signatures, useful for detecting cloaked enemies or power sources. Switching between visors quickly using the D-Pad is essential for navigating complex environments and overcoming various challenges.
