Thank you for your answer but please do something asap, because it's unplayable, I dont want to re-learn something new because you released a buggy update, also I dont have paddles, and I have to crouch spam in battles with my trigger buttons, which means, I can't put ping on those buttons, it has to be on another button


I tried putting it on the d-pad down button, but that just means I have to let go off both my sticks to use my ultimate, which is just complete nonsense

There's no way to make this viable other than having it on X, because if I put it on O, that means I can't leave the deathbox if I'm pointing at an item since O will ping that item... I need to move out of the item list and then press O, which is also nonsense because what if I'm going for a fast armor swap ?

 

Please do something fast

 

Here is an super easy fix to this issue you guys could implement to the game :

 

Put an option to revert the loot menu back to how it was before so we can choose how to display it

There was no issue at all with the old menu (other than you couldnt ping in a death box, but I would rather have that than not being able to loot it...)

 

Please guys, do something

As it says, my ping button is the a button. There is a bug where pickup in blackmarket boutique and deathboxes is a. instead of the selected pickup button (x for me)

I also have this problem I play on a custom button layout and it says press A to ping and press A to pick up but it will only let me ping the item

Similar issue on PS4, I have jump on L1, Tactical on R1 and Ping on X. I can't pick up anything in deathboxes as pickup and ping are both X

The button mapping bugs have been around for ages and are still not fixed.  The issues below #1 and #2 have been around since at least Season 3.

 

1) If you remap ping, often you can't ping things on the overworld map after you bring it up.

2) if you remap ping to A (on XBOX, or X on PS4)  you can no longer ping items in deathboxes

3) if you remap ping to A (on XBOX, or X on PS4) you can no longer take items from Loba's black market UI.

Please get this fixed asap! It really affects my gameplay.

@SavageKillShot77 1 seems to be fixed as it says "pinging in inventory and on map remains rb" or something like thay.
2. Yup thats true, i figured you have to sellect the item with the arrows in order to do that. But still annoying and takes time
3. And deathboxes. makes it basically unplayable

Thanks, wasn't aware of #1 being fixed.  I feel like sometimes pinging in the overworld map still doesn't work though but I'd have to check.

 

As for #2 there is a workaround, at least as of Season 4 (not sure if they changed it for Season 5).  If you hover over the item you want to ping in the deathbox with your stick, and then hit LEFT D-PAD once, then you can ping the item with A (instead of it trying to pick it up).  This is probably why scrolling with the D-PAD to select the item also works (but isn't actually necessary).
