How to Ping objects and enemies in PUBG

Communication is key to success in PUBG, and the ping system lets you quickly share vital information with your friends.

Whether you’re playing on your PC or console, you can use the ping option to mark enemies, items, and locations for your allies. Being on a voice chat helps, but a simple ping reduces the need for words between you and your buddies. Let’s look at how the system works on both PC and consoles.

How to use the Ping function in PUBG

Whether you’re playing on a PC or console, the core function of Ping is the same. It helps your buddy see something they haven’t but you have. To ping, you can use the Middle Mouse button, and the object/enemy/location will be highlighted on the map.

On consoles, you’ll need to aim at the object/enemy and press the RB/Right Bumper button to mark. While the system is easier to manage on a PC with a mouse, those on controllers can make good use of it if they know what they’re doing.

The ping system has been improved in previous updates, which lets you mark almost anything in PUBG. Here are the three main uses of the ping inside a game.

• Mark enemies – This makes eliminating enemies easier, as your ally will know precisely where to look. This is even more useful if someone does the spotting with a sniper rifle, as it’s easier to spot from a distance and alert your friends.
• Mark objects – This can include any type of loot and chests. You can also mark airdrop crates that often include valuable gear and consumables.
• Mark a location—This is highly useful if you’re not on voice chat and playing with strangers. Pinging a location on the map will help you let your team know where you’re planning to go.

That’s pretty much it when it comes to PUBG‘s ping system. In some tight contests, they can become a big difference-maker while securing a valuable drop or finishing off an enemy from a distance.
