Details[]

The Heatseeking Scope is a Buzz Bee tactical rail accessory. As its name suggests, it is a sight that is able to detect heat signatures of living beings it is being pointed at. The bottom of the scope features a plastic element that can be seen through, similar to reflex-style sights such as the Red Dot Scope or Red Dot Sight. A green dot is projected onto the transparent plastic, and turns red whenever the scope detects higher heat signatures.

There is a "set" and "mode" button at the top of the module, as well as an on/off switch. The "set" button calibrates the sight to the surrounding temperatures. This is important as without calibration, default settings may cause the scope to confuse a warm but inanimate object with an actual human when the ambient temperature is higher. The "mode" button simply toggles the scopes thermal capabilities on and off, turning the dot blue and allowing it to be used as a regular reflex sight.

Due to the way that thermal radiation works, the Heatseeking Scope can detect warm bodies behind certain objects or surfaces, such as a cardboard wall.

The Heekseeking Scope's thermal capabilities have been advertised to work up to sixty feet (eighteen meters) away.

Color schemes[]

The Heatseeking has been released with the following color schemes:

Air Warriors (gray and black with decals on the sides)
Adventure Force (gray and black with no decals on the sides)

Trivia[]

Despite being called a scope, the Heatseeking Scope appears more like a reflex sight.
"Heatseeking" is a term for weapon systems that use infrared homing to guide projectiles to a target. Although it uses infrared light to identify targets, obviously, the accessory does not guide darts to the target, so the term "heatseeking" is incorrect in this context. A more accurate description of the scope would be "Thermal Scope" or "Infrared Scope."
The scope does not detect a human head as the head does not have enough heat energy to trigger it compared to the torso. This also ensures the user does not aim for the head of their opponents.
