The Tiberium Vibration Scan is a Scrin support power. It is a scan of the battlefield for the harmonic vibrations generated by Tiberium.

Game effect

The vibration scan reveals everything that has any connection to Tiberium. Nod and GDI refineries, Tiberium spikes, silos are also revealed to the user. It is also able to detect Nod power plants, should they be upgraded with Liquid Tiberium Cores. Reaper-17 can use it free of charge.

Trivia

• In contrast to its name, the Tiberium trooper is not detectable by this power.
• While the Scrin are known to be Tiberium-based lifeforms, only a few Scrin units are able to be scanned. Furthermore, even Scrin units who have visible Tiberium crystals on their body like Shard Walkers and Ravagers are not revealed. This is most likely done for balancing purposes.
