Radar is a survivor ability in Piggy that was released along with the camouflage survivor ability and Ghost Mode. When used, you will be able to locate where the infected are. This includes primary bots, secondary bots, and Player Piggies.

Appearance

The icon is a small radar that has a dish, antenna, a neck and a stand. It also has two wavy lines coming out of the antenna representing some sort of signal. When its undiscovered/unpurchased, it will be dark gray, if it is purchased, it will be white. In the shop, there will be the icon surrounded by a black square outlines with white along with the word Radar above in the same box as the icon along with the energy symbol and equip/unequip, blueprints required or the purchase UI below. The caption is "Place a satellite dish that reveals the location of nearby infected."

The satellite dish is a small, light gray dish attached to a platform which helps support it. In the dish, there are three metal sticks that are attached to a small, gray circle. The support has black parts along the sides of it and a red line crossing through where the dish is planted.

Effects

Once used, it will place down a small satellite dish spinning around locating infected, it will emit blue light and point to the direction where the infected are. Once it gets closer, a red alarm symbol will hover over its head and it will stay there until the infected are far away from the satellite dish.
