Ping system
The Ping system allows players to send quick messages to communicate with teammates. On PC, players can use the ping system by holding T and moving their cursor to one of the eight available pings on the wheel or by pressing the corresponding number key. On mobile, pings can be accessed via a button in the top-left corner. Pings will appear either at the crosshair's location or on the player themselves and will remain for eight seconds before fading. Each ping has a unique sound effect when used. The selected ping will also appear in chat, with the dialogue appearing as the player's team color.
Using three pings within a short timeframe will disable the player's ability to use pings for a brief period. Pings can still be used while dead. Any ping outside of the player’s screen will be indicated on the side of the screen corresponding to its direction. Pings will lose opacity if looked at directly. Using the same ping again before its icon fades will replace the previous icon. The volume and icon color of pings can be adjusted in the settings menu.
The following are all the available pings on the wheel and their keybinds:
- 1 = Hello
- 2 = P!
- 3 = Heal
- 4 = Enemy
- 5 = Group
- 6 = Fall
- 7 = Help
- 8 = Thanks
Players can use certain pings without bringing up the ping wheel:
- Pressing LCTRL, middle mouse (MMB), or double-tapping the center of the screen on mobile uses the 'Here'/'Target' ping.
- Pressing C uses the 'Heal' ping.
- Pressing V uses the 'Enemy' ping.
- Pressing B uses the 'P!' ping.
Using the 'Here' ping while the player's crosshair is on or near an enemy will put a target icon above them for 10 seconds. This icon disappears if they break line of sight or go invisible.
