It’s a pretty exciting time for Overwatch fans, as the Overwatch 2 closed PvP beta is now underway and it allows players to check out some of the new features. For instance, Overwatch 2 now has a new ping system to allow for better communication, as well as the shift to 5v5 battles, new maps, tons of character changes, and the introduction of Sojourn as a brand new hero on the roster.
Using the Ping System in Overwatch 2
When pointing your reticle at a location, character, or point of interest, click in on your scroll wheel or middle mouse button to ping it. This will automatically notify your teammates that you’ve pinged something as a point of interest.
Alternatively, you can hold down your middle mouse button to bring up a radial menu of commands.
While holding it down, move your mouse and hover over the command you want, then release the middle mouse button once you’ve made your selection to send out the ping. The commands allow you to get a bit more specific with your ping, such as informing your teammates to attack or defend a particular area, or to inform them of incoming danger.
The ping system is invaluable for team communication, especially for players who may not want to use their mic to speak with their teammates or are unable to.
That’s all you need to know about how to ping in Overwatch 2. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more tips and information on the game.
