Wuthering Waves doesn’t waste a second introducing you to one new mechanic after the other. From Echo attacks, to convenient Grapple Hook shortcuts, and then there’s the Sensor Module.
From all the early-game mechanics you learn in Wuthering Waves, the Sensor Module might be the hardest to grasp. This is not because the item works in a complex way, but because you probably haven’t toyed around with equipment and utility functions that much. So, I’ll show you how to equip the Sensor Module in Wuthering Waves.

The Sensor Module is a utility tool in Wuthering Waves. This module lets you find valuable collectibles and items in the scene, but it’s also a key part of progressing through the main quest Echoing Marche. One of the quest objectives asks that you use the sensors to confirm the patrol route, which might prove hard given this is the first time you’ve actually had to equip a utility tool before you can use it.
