How to Spot & Ping in Battlefield 2042

While having a headset and mic connected will always be the best way for you to communicate with your teammates, you can get around that issue with the ping or spotting system in-game as well.

To spot & ping items or points of interest to your teammates, all you have to do is hit the R1 button (RB on Xbox, and Q on PC) while looking at something. This will bring the item or location to your teammates’ attention, allowing them to be aware of it.

You can also hit the button twice in rapid succession to warn them of danger if you happen to see an enemy lurking nearby.

In addition to that, you can also hold down the button to access the Commo Rose system, which is basically Battlefield’s version of key phrases that will allow you to communicate with your teammates in a variety of ways. While holding down the button, you can then select from a bunch of preset phrases to tell your teammates something more specific or ask for assistance.

That’s all you need to know about how to spot & ping in Battlefield 2042. Be sure to search for Twinfinite or check our guide wiki for more tips and information on the game.
