Ping what guns you have
So now that console players can ping their ammo to ask for more, can we now be able to ping our guns and have our characters call out I'm using the eva 8. So our teams know what attachments we're loo...

@BillyBlazes44 Pinging for ammo isnt new. You can ping for specific attachments by pinging the empty spot on the gun. Also teammates can see your stuff I believe.
I ask for some items and if I found it myself, I would like the legends to say "Hey, I found it" and write the item you found on top right side of the screen,
so team mate doesn't need to search it anymore.
Currently I have to ping the item myself so team mate know I found it before I pick it up.
- @asukojo I do that too. Don’t listen to hayhor, he’s grumpy and not team focused 😈. If I asked for something and find it myself, I ping it just to let teammates know that (IF they were keeping a lookout which more than not they likely weren’t doing) they don’t have to ping that thing anymore.
I’d feel mighty bad if I asked for a hopup and for the last 5 mins a team member was keeping a lookout only for me to have found it already right after I pinged it and they ping it for me that I not pick it up or unmute mic and say that I have already found it way back ☹️- @Koochi-Q After about 30 seconds I've forgotten teammates have asked. But I do ping level 2 and up stuff and call it out on the mic.
@hayhorThat’s what I mean. most forget it or don’t care but just in case they were paying attention I do it. That way their full intention is on the game and not subconsciously looking for that 1 part... xD.
Like @DoYaSeeMe mentions, also good for having less pings. If you know the complete gear of someone you have less “hey, here’s a lvl 2/3 mag” and more BRRRR goes R99 xD
- @asukojo So, you want the few footsteps that you do get to hear to be covered by "hey, I found..." ? :P
I do see pinging your own weapons going in the bad direction quickly. "Oh, you shouldn't be using a sniper, take a mastiff and let's go CQC", "I picked the Volt first, there's not enough energy ammo around so you should give all yours to me and pick another weapon", "Bro, I'm only good with the Wingman and I know you have a gold one, can you please give it to me? be a team player, come on!" - @asukojo They really do need to update the ping responses IMO.
