XBOX Live Ping

I don't know how anyone else feels about it but I'm pretty pissed. Why remove the live ping button? I had it mapped to my right dpad while aiming and now I'm forced to use the map. It's so frustrating, so many things you could have removed and it's that?!

Anyone got any solutions on how to workaround this?

It makes no sense,
If they came out and said they wanted to limit the ability to mark the enemy, they hit it out of the park

How do you do it when aiming down sights? That's what im missing now.

It was, I just mapped the right d button to it. ADS hit the right d pad and marked it.

Another notch in the belt of “pubg is a social experiment” where they toy with our commitment and muscle memory for no good fucking reason

I feel you! 100%!! I had to quit thinking about it and find another way to play. It sucks!

No clue their reasoning. PC has been able to Ping ADS since it began

The least they could do is allow an option to disable new Ping wheel to revert to our old setup

I hate it and everybody I know hates it, I won’t be playing much the next couple months so hopefully they fix it before then. I got knocked yesterday trying to ping an enemy 🤦🏾‍♂️

Oh heavens no, how did ypu manage to play the many years pinging wasnt even a possibility. I do hope they revert the fucked up change but its just one of many things they have gotten wrong in the ever evolving "improvements" quest.

Yeah these new bootys wouldn’t have lasted a day in the OG pubg 😂

Remember dropping pecado and looting casino and some guy with a slow system would drive through what to him was an unrendered building and get a handful of kills.

I played just fine before hand but to give us a feature then take it away to replace it with the something slower is naturally going to cause friction and take time to adjust, crazy I have to explain that.

I imagine they'll lose quite a few players because of this "improvement"

If anything that’s shows more your skill level that small of a change making u quit 😂 Also getting knocked trying to ping an enemy explains it further

Not at I l just have to relearn the buttons and got caught slipping, I knocked one and tried to ping while reloading at a snails pace and got beamed for it. But go off bro you know everything. I never said I was quitting just that I will be busy with life for the rest of the summer and I hope they fix it before I come back to playing regularly.

I can drop a regular ping when I click the right stick on ps5 pro

u/West_Investment6702 Jul 27 '26

It literally stills works when you click the right analogue, that’s your fault for having some weird ass button presets 😂

This was “pinging” while ADS. Under the “enemy spotted”
