Issue with the care package weapon icon

Good morning whoever this finds, I have a quality of life issue with not being able to see person shooting me standing behind a care package because my team mate pinged the item that was in it. I think there should be a way to acknowledge the weapon and get rid of the icon because it is super unfair that they can shoot from behind a big blacked out icon and I cant see them yet they can see me. Attached is an image of what they are able to hide behind, maybe one fix would be to make the icon semi transparent if an enemy is behind it or something.

  • Oh I would love it to be able to adjust the transparency of those things.

    I myself have encountered this before, absolutely infuriating.

  • @GiveUmATug To be honest, what it should of been is like:

    Octane: Hey, guess what? There's a hemlok dropping down!
    Valkyrie: Look to the skies, its a Kraber decending down
    (etc.)

    Then after 3 or so seconds the ping disappears, which would be a normal ping, not the ping of the weapon. Usually when something is pinged, we as players natrually go "where?!" and take a look in its direction. Or the weapon icon shows up on the mini and/or main map.

    Right now, legends just say things like:

    Valkyrie: Guess who knows where the carepackage is
    Wraith: I know where the next carepackage is

    @GiveUmATug There's that, and you cannot unping it, it has to fade away on its own. I stopped pinging "ok" when teammates ping out the gun for that very reason.
