Can anyone answer this for me? I've taken a pause on the game ...

I have all 5 keys, 100 % on the green energy but only 98% on items when hitting the "point of no return" . Are that last 2 % of items found in the end game or did I somehow miss a few things despite revisiting each area after activating the scanner drones for them all? I don't know that I will replay this on hard but on the off chance (I don't think it likely) that I did get all scans I want to 100% the items. I would have finished the game already if I knew for sure one way or the other.

You've missed something, there are no items post the part of no return. Did you get the scanner in the desert? There are three items in the desert which are given to you by a certain character, but he needs to be there for it to happen, so you may need to exit and re-enter the desert since he won't be in all the places at once. The places he does spawn show up after you scan the desert, though. 

Yeah I did get that scanner and wasted all kinds of time and ammo at two of the spots the one closest to Volt Forge and the one in the wreckage before finally coming across the sniper outside of Flare Pool and realizing the other locations were probably him too.  Good call though.  I'll just have to pop back into each area and really look at my maps.  Thanks @Majin-Tenshinhan and @Chrkeller
