Information is power. In EVA After-H Battle Arena, the Sonar recon beacon turns those crucial 2 seconds of enemy detection into game-winning advantages for competitive VR esports teams.
What is the EVA Sonar Recon Beacon?

| Cooldown | 40 seconds |
Who Should Use It?
Entry Fraggers (Primary)
- First contact specialists who clear contested areas
- Team ready behind for immediate follow-up
- Perfect 8m radius for pre-engagement intel
IGL/Coordinators (Secondary)
- Team timing specialists who know when squad is ready
- Strategic placement for maximum information value
- Instant communication to capitalize on 2-second window
Avoid: Back-line Support/Scouts
- 8-meter range requires close proximity to enemies
- 2-second window demands immediate team action
- Better suited for aggressive positioning roles
Strategic Placement
1. Pre-Engagement
Deploy 1-2 seconds before team pushes into contested areas.
2. Choke Points
Clear doorways, corridors, and chokepoints before committing.
3. Flanking Validation
Check alternate routes and vent systems safely.
4. Defensive Perimeter
Monitor approach routes to objectives you’re holding.
Team Coordination
Communication Protocol
- “Sonar out” - Deployment warning
- “X enemies detected” - Immediate count
- Precise callouts - Exact positions
Timing is Everything
- Team must be ready to act immediately
- 2-second window demands instant response
- Don’t waste on speculation
Common Mistakes
❌ Throwing without team readiness ❌ Poor surface placement ❌ Delayed communication after detection ❌ Wasting on low-value information
Why 2 Seconds and 8 Meters Matter
This precise detection window provides:
- 8-meter wall-hack vision of enemy positions
- 2-second perfect timing for coordinated pushes
