In the chaos of the arena, collaboration is the key to victory!

The ping wheel, voice chat and emotes let you align with your teammates no matter how many airborne gas canisters are currently exploding around you.

Ping wheel

The ping wheel lets you mark locations on the map to coordinate with your teammates, whether it’s a destination to head to; a building to destroy; or a cashout station to guard.

To ping your teammates:

1. Hover over the location or object you want to ping
2. Hold down the ping button
3. Select your preferred ping from the ping wheel, and release

You can respond to a teammate’s ping by bringing up the ping wheel while hovering over their ping icon.

Voice chat

Voice chat lets you talk to your teammates using a microphone, which allows for more flexibility when aligning strategies; requesting support; and claiming bragging rights over any especially artful piles of rubble you built.

Voice chat is turned ON by default on PC and console:

- PC: Push To Talk is set as the default input
- Console: Voice Activated is set as the default input

Please make sure to be supportive of your teammates in both victory and defeat - our code of conduct applies in voice chat, too.

Text chat 

Text chat is your go-to for communication when you don’t have a microphone or prefer not to use one. While it might not be as quick as talking, it still lets you coordinate with your team, share your love of OSPUZE, or celebrate a well-fought battle. You can also disable text chat if you wish.

Text chat is enabled by default on PC but is not available on consoles. Remember to stay positive and supportive, regardless of the outcome of a match. Our code of conduct applies here too.

Emotes

If words alone don’t quite capture the depth of your feelings, the emote wheel lets you express yourself with a bit more flair. 

To choose which emotes are assigned to your emote wheel, see Equipping emotes to your emote wheel.
