Features

Built around scouting, locking, and live player insight.

The app combines live player scanning, reliable party detection, hidden-name revealing, player cosmetic visibility, and pre-agent-select locking tools in one focused desktop experience.

Scan every player in your current lobby or match, including hidden names, agent, account level, current rank, RR, peak rank, peak act, and recent RR changes.
See recent performance at a glance with win rate, ACS, K/D, and headshot percentage for faster reads on the lobby.
Reveal hidden usernames so you can still identify who is in the lobby when the game tries to obscure them.
Inspect other players' visible weapon skins and buddies before the match starts.
Detect which players are queued together and group them visually with reliable party detection.
Choose a specific agent to lock or use broader options like random, Duelist, Initiator, Controller, or Sentinel.
Enable auto-lock to have the app lock your chosen agent before you even load into agent select.
Use the dodge button to leave a pregame lobby quickly when needed.
Load more games to widen the recent match sample used for displayed player stats.
See clear indicators for game mode, server, and your starting side while in agent select.
Open Tracker.gg and VTL player pages directly from the app for deeper profile checking.
Manage your own skins, buddies, loadouts, variants, and presets when you want extra cosmetic control.
Get update notifications when a newer version of ValScanner is available.
