You can switch between all active installed cameras to monitor the xenomorph’s movement in real-time. Tapping a camera icon will let you view the surroundings where the camera is installed. The xenomorph climbs into the vent when he is trapped and may find its way to her hideout through the vents. You will notice that these vents are connected to Amanda’s hideout. The tunnel network that goes through different rooms and corridors are actually vents. White dots are NPCs or the crew members you would be interacting with. You can access her hideout by tapping that dot. Now let’s find out what are those icons shown on a mission map. Now tap the monitor again to bring up the holographic map.

When you tap “Motion TRC”, you notice that a colored region gets highlighted and blinks, suggesting that the senor is being turned on for that area. However, the tracker activates only on certain colored areas on a map. A motion tracker lets you monitor the xenomorph’s movement on the map itself. Just below “Available Power” are a set of motion trackers under “Devices”. Please note that you don’t use power when you tap cameras on a map.ģ. You will have to juggle with map controls and allocate power properly to avoid losing all interaction with the map.
