My idea is to have more information on items that are pinged by your teammates, whether in loot boxes, crates, the ground, etc.
Example: (as it works now)
Player A sees a hop-up on the ground/loot box, etc and pings it
Player B looks in that direction to get a little more information on it (what kind of hop-up, what level attachment, etc)
That is a good system, but I think a small enhancement would make it better. I have put in many, many hours into this fantastic game and I still don't know all the attachments for all the guns. I am sure I am not the only one who isn't an attachment aficionado.
Example: (My Idea)
Player A sees a hop-up on the ground/loot box, etc and pings it
Player B looks at the ping and now it will have a gun symbol if your gun can use said item (Just like when you are looting items yourself). I think this would help players (such as myself) learn the attachments better.
Numerous times I have called dibs on something that I thought I could use, only to realize that once I get to said item it actually does not work for my gun.
I hope this made sense as I have a hard time explaining the ideas i have in my head.

Agree with OP, knowing which attachments & mods are relevant for which guns was a significant part of the learning curve.
As respawn are adding more, the problem is only going to get worse.
The game could do much more to alleviate this.
Also, "I need a hop-up".
Most useless ping request; having to look up to the kill feed is unnecessarily clunky.
2nd most useless; "I need shields/health".
We need differentiation between cells/batteries and syringes/medkits.
