Other uses include the ability to reveal vulnerabilities in Phazon ore, such as while battling [[Thardus]], or the heat signatures given off by various technologies including the [[Elite Pirate|Elite Pirate's]] plasma cannons.<ref>{{cite|An animated, sentient creature of stone charged with Phazon radiation. The Phazon radiation given off by Thardus negates auto-targeting systems, preventing lock-on. It may be possible to acquire alternate targets with a different Visor. The chaotic nature of Phazon irradiation leads to instability in its structural integrity.

The Thermal Visor will show the weak points of certain foes. Use the Thermal Visor to see in total darkness and poor weather conditions. Brightly lit areas, explosions, and intense heat can impair the Thermal Visor. Enemies with temperatures close to their surroundings will be tough to spot with this Visor.<ref>{{cite|The Thermal Visor will show the weak points of certain foes.
