What is it?
The first Mentat ability confirmed by a video short[1] was scouting. To quote Creative Director Joel Bylos in the video:
If one of your friends is a mentat, they can scout the enemy camp and reveal the locations of enemies and let you know where exactly to work as a group and how to attack
Followed by an in-game demonstration. The character holds their hand into a fist as white lines form diamond and circle patterns, before clenching their fist to send a white scanning wave over the nearby terrain, highlighting an enemy in bright white.
It has been mentioned in discord chats that this ability is line-of-sight only[2], however can be used to great effect when combined with a tool to scan for signs of life first[3]
Not much more is known about the details of how this ability is learned or the technical details of it's cost, cooldown or levels.
