Where to find and how to use the Target Identifier V1?

You will encounter the ware for the first time on the Research Labs deck. It is located on a shelf in the storage room of the library in the south-eastern part of the deck.

Pick up the ware and it will be installed automatically. From now on, when you encounter an enemy, you will know its:

1. Name,
2. Health status,
3. Armor condition.

To analyze the enemy, you just need to aim at them, and then press Left ALT.

What the next versions provide

Target Identifier available on the Research Labs deck is only the first and weakest version of this ware. You will come across other versions of this device on the subsequent decks. Thanks to them, you will be able to learn the secrets of SHODAN's army even better.

The following table summarizes the functions of each level of the Target Identifier.

Target Identifier version	Function
V1	Displays the opponent's name, health and armor.
V2	Displays the enemy's current task and the option of disrupting its processor.
V3	Displays detailed information about an enemy, identifies its weaknesses, and disrupts attempts to call for reinforcements.
