Ping

The Ping Wheel.

Pings are callouts for communication with teammates without the need for voice or text communication. They cover many actions such as marking enemies, announcing loot, calling "dibs" on announced loot, telling teammates where you are going, and many others. Each ping triggers a voice line from your legend, and a text message in the chat if enabled.

Pings are bound to / / / by default. Holding the button brings up the ping wheel.

Ping wheel

The Ping wheel

Bringing up the ping wheel allows for seven more options. These pings do not change depending on what you ping. They are, in clockwise order:

• Enemy Here (default F on PC)
• Looting Here
• Attacking Here
• Going Here
• Defending Here
• Watching Here
• Someone's Been Here

Other location pings

• When dead, you can ping the location of your death box for squadmates to find and retrieve your banner.
• When your squadmates have your banner, you can ping the nearest respawn beacon. If your teammates cannot reach and use the nearest beacon before The Ring closes over it, it will instead ping the closest beacon that is inside The Ring.
• You can ping a Holospray to like it. If it was dropped by an enemy, the enemy will see your ping. There are no voice line associated with this ping.

Legend specific pings

• Bloodhound: Bloodhound can pings Tracker clues to report to teammates, with details such as time ago show up in the kill feed. The general voice line and icon will be based on Someone's Been Here ping, while clues that indicate combat will utilize the Recent Battle pings.
• Mirage: Mirage's decoys automatically ping the location they get shot from.
• Wattson: Wattson's fences automatically ping enemies that cross them.
• Crypto: While in drone view, Crypto can ping a banner display to announce how many squads are nearby.
• Ash: Ash's Marked for Death passive allows her to ping enemies by interacting with Death Boxes. She can also ping recently-created Death Boxes from any distance within the map view, by clicking on the skull icons in it; details such as time ago will show up in the kill feed.
• Vantage: Pinging enemies with Spotter's Lens will report with voiceline and message in killfeed of that particular enemy's armor type and how many players are alive in their squad. Killfeed will also report the Legend type.

Vocal pings

These pings only trigger voice lines for yourself and squadmates.

Response pings

The following are options when pinging another squadmate's ping:

• Ok - used to acknowledge a basic ping, an Enemy Here ping, or a Someone's Been Here ping
• No
• I Can't
• I'll Join You - response to Looting / Attacking / Going / Defending / Watching Here pings
• Dibs - response to weapon or item pings, to indicate you want that item

Thanking squadmates

When a squadmate revives you, or when you pick up an item that a squadmate dropped or pinged, you have the option to thank them. They have the option to respond with 'you're welcome'.

You can also thank squadmates for putting down Dimensional Rifts, D.O.C. Heal Drones, Domes Of Protection, or a Black Market Boutique using the basic ping.
