The Collapsals' presence causes disruptions to communications and navigations equipment, making it difficult to know what's ahead. This is where the Survey Equipment came in, as it could clear the interference and makes pathfinding easier, represented by the Anti-Interference Index that is displayed at the top of the screen.

The Survey Equipment starts with 3 Anti-Interference Index, which can be increased or decreased through certain means but will never go below 0 and above 6 (unless with the 琥珀伤痕, which removes this cap). 1 Index can be spent to enter the branches of a node and is required to enter the secret floor through Bosky Passage. Certain Encounters are also affected by the Index value.

Depending on the Index, nodes can be in one of three states:

  • Vague Premonition: The node cannot be identified even when it is accessible, unlike the Dense Fog state of nodes in previous Integrated Strategies themes, but has two labels to give a rough estimate on what's ahead although the node's actual type will not be shown until they are actually entered (or starting the operation for combat ones, where the exact operation will not be shown either).
    • If the node is labeled Secret Premonition, it will be a non-combat one.
    • If the node is labeled Bad Premonition, it will be a combat one. Should the combat node turned out to be an Emergency Operation, the player will be notified of this as soon as the operation starts.
  • Standard Surveillance: The node is identifiable as usual.
  • Comprehensive Surveillance: The node is identifiable and shows additional, valuable information depending on the node's type listed below.
    • (Emergency) Operations: Shows the Foldartal(s) that will be awarded from clearing the operation.
    • Encounters: Shows the choice(s) that would give the favorable outcome.
    • Safe House: Shows whether the Safe House would give Life Points, Elite Logistics Rations Voucher, Hope, and/or increase the squad size.
    • Recreation: Shows what resources that are to be spent in the Recreation.
    • Wish: Shows what Collectible(s) that would be given (labeled as "slow-moving products in Bob's Store").
    • Rogue Trader: Shows some of the wares.
    • Lost and Found: Shows the Collectible/Foldartal that can be traded with.
    • Bosky Passage: Shows the arrangement of nodes in the secret floor.

Prophecy, Scout, and The Root nodes are not affected by the Survey Equipment and will always be on the Standard Surveillance state.

At lower Anti-Interference Index, the Survey Equipment starts to malfunction, indicated by black filaments on the edges of the screen. At higher Index, the Equipment performs optimally, indicated by white lights and rings on the edges of the screen.
