One Button to Clear Them All...

Question

...One Button to Find Them, One Button to Wipe Them All and in the UI Dismiss Them.

Could we get a single button to clear all "New item" yellow dots in the inventory, season pass etc.? Right now you have to click through every category, every weapon, and every attachment you just unlocked one by one just to remove the icon, and it gets old fast if you play often and keep unlocking new attachments. It has gotten so bad that when I shop for groceries, I half expect I will need to tap every apple and every milk carton one by one just to clear the yellow dot.

The best version would be an optional setting you can toggle on, which adds a "Clear New Icons" button in the inventory menu. Off by default for players who like the reminders, but there for everyone who just wants a clean UI.

I have seen yellow dot markers everywhere, but I have never seen a simple one-click clear option in a multiplayer game. It would be a small QoL feature that makes the UI feel a lot cleaner and less annoying over time.

Is anyone else unable to ignore the fact that there is still something left to click, and ends up doing it for the tenth time today even though you do not actually want to, or is it just me being weird about it?

Does anyone have a better idea for this?

I'd love it if Dice added a "clear all" button. I feel compelled to get rid of the dots ASAP whenever I unlock something, so doing it with a single button would be fantastic.
It'd also be good if it extended to the main menu, since I have to scroll through all the tiles to clear them when it updates. The Battlepass menu is also annoying me a bit at the moment as the dots come back every time I start the game. I completed the pass a while back, so it's a lot of screens to go through constantly.

Personally I don't care.&nbsp;Feels more like a cheap trick to trap OCD people into spending more time in the game.... Kinda criminal if you think about it to target people with a disorder..Oh well.

I did not even mention that I also have to clear those icons in the battle pass multiple times after restarting the game, so adding that on top of this makes the UI feel even messier, but I figured it was a bug and did not want to bring it up.

It definitely increases the amount of time players spend in the game to some extent, but the percentage of people with OCD is small, so I doubt they are targeting them. Still, the fact is that even if it is a small group, they still have to deal with issues like this.
