In Wuthering Waves, players have access to various tools to aid in exploration and resource gathering. One of the most valuable tools is the Lootmapper, which can actively scan specific map areas for hidden Supply Chests and Tidal Heritages. This unlimited-use device allows players to thoroughly explore and clear zones without missing any collectibles.
Players can earn Shell Credits, Resonator EXP, and the premium currency Astrite, which is crucial for obtaining special weapons and Resonators such as Jiyan and Yinlin. To use the Lootmapper, players must first unlock it.

How To Get Lootmapper
To get the Lootmapper in Wuthering Waves, Rovers must reach Level 1 Pioneer and head to the Pioneer Association in Jinzhou. Once there, talk to Maqi, the Pioneer Association Receptionist, and ask her "About my Exploration Progress." Afterward, claim all the Huanglong Exploration rewards to raise your Pioneer level and acquire the Lootmapper.
To raise the Pioneer level, players need to increase their exploration progress in Huanglong by thoroughly exploring the following areas:
- Gorges of Spirits
- Jinzhou
- Central Plains
- Deserock Highland
- Port City of Guixu
- Dim Forest
- Wuming Bay
- Norfall Barrens
- Tiger's Maw
- Whining Aix's Mire
How To Raise Exploration Progress
To raise exploration progress in any Wuthering Waves region, Rovers must:
- Open Supply Chests (Basic, Advanced, Premium, Scattered, and Standard)
- Claim Tidal Heritage (Blue, Purple, and Golden)
- Solve puzzles including Spike, Training Dummy, Energy Matrix, Pressure Platform, and Magnetic Cube.
- Accomplish challenges such as Hover Target, Echo, Tactical Hologram, and Spinning Mechanism.
- Clear Vine Traps with the Explosive Charge
- Collect Sonance Caskets
- Unlock Resonance Beacons and Nexuses
- Eliminate Blobfly
- Locate Viewpoints
Players can regularly check their exploration progress in each region by:
- Opening the Wuthering Waves map
- Clicking on the Compass icon near the region name at the bottom of the screen
- Selecting the region they wish to check their exploration progress in
To Use & Remove Lootmapper
To utilize the Lootmapper in Wuthering Waves, players must:
- Open the Terminal Menu.
- Go to Utilities.
- Place the Lootmapper on the Utility Wheel.
- Press T to use it on PC, and L1+△ to use it on PS or with a Joystick.
Once a Lootmapper is deployed on the map, it will identify nearby Supply Chests within its coverage area, denoting them with a chest icon. However, players can only have three active Lootmappers in operation simultaneously. To clear space for new ones, they can either manually remove an existing Lootmapper or tap the Lootmapper icon to automatically discard the oldest one. Removing a Lootmapper manually requires doing the following:
- Open the map.
- Click on the unwanted or unused Lootmapper.
- Press the Remove button.
