Scanning Sites appear on the Geoscape and offer various rewards after a set amount of time. These can include Supplies, Intel, Engineers, Scientists, or even a reduction in the Avatar Project progress. Prioritize scanning sites that offer resources you desperately need or that directly impact the Avatar Project. Be aware that scanning leaves the Avenger vulnerable to UFO attacks.
