Can we have a scripture detector?

Can we have a scripture detector? Same for other collectables like grims and whatever else is added. Doesn’t need to be exact, just a tiny notice you’re within 50 yards. Maybe 15 yards.

Searching is really slowing us down, and since the spawns are semi-random, it’s getting annoying. We could use the auspex, but even just an icon would be excellent at helping us stop wasting time.

In V1 and V2 you just learned their spawns. Now we have to learn several spawns for each map, and ideally we’ll eventually have a lot more maps. The extra maps from having city sections linked together was a major selling point for the game.

Missions already feel a bit long. Still want to explore but peaking behind everything for a script…

Such as a book finding Auspex, so to speak

Also because in Darktide most features are not account wide (which should change!), the rewards for scriptures and grimoires should be increased quite a bit, because in contrast to VT2 we do not get three weapons/trinkets after a mission(!).
(But still carry the minus-points like wounds and missing/ blocked equipment slots)

I do not think a scanner is needed and rather think it is a nice change of pace (that wee need to look for them), yet the rewards should be way higher because of the effort!

I’d be happy if we didn’t have to look in every nook and corner of every map. If it just threw up an icon saying ‘script somewhere in this big room’ it would be enough, as long as we know the room’s borders. As it is people take a long time for each one, and if you do four classes you might be finding 100 scripts a week or more.

M y level 30 vet had a 25 script assignment. It did pay well, but still!

Or just don’t even bother. The reason you collected them in VT was better gear/lootboxes the current rewards make it not worth it to insist on being Dwari the Explori and having to look in every corner for some ammo or a book.

I feel like I search every corner of every map, but I still often miss 1 book.

If we had some sort of auspex like the one we use in investigation missions it would make the playthrough a lot more natural and smooth without having to alt-tab/shift-tab to check out where do tomes spawn. At the moment they’re not worth the hassle at all so it would be great if at least these could be more accessible to promote grabbing them on the run

Considering there are small blue lights along the scripture book cover, there could be a blue lit aura around the book. This would be just like the green aura the grims give off, which is what makes them so much easier to find.
