Learn when and how to use the scanner to search individuals in "Papers, Please", including rules for detainment based on discrepancies.
Searching is performed using a scanner on a person. This occurs when the person is from a specific country on a specific day (e.g., Kolechia on Day 8), if their stated weight on their ID differs from their actual weight, or if their gender does not match their appearance.
When you take a picture, you can rotate it to view the backside. If a person's gender does not match the picture (some men have female faces, and vice versa), you can link the picture to the person and detain them. If a person is carrying a weapon or contraband, you can link the item on the photo to the relevant rule in the rulebook (e.g., no contraband or drugs) and detain them.
- Pay close attention to the ID details, especially weight and gender, for discrepancies.
- Be ready to link scanned items or discrepancies to specific rules to justify detainment.
- Remember that you can rotate the scanned image to view the backside.
