I was playing solo in a Firestorm squad server the other night and I saw the enemy spotted on my mini map ??? Now I have seen this when playing as a squad but why would the enemy be spotted for me when I’m not in a squad? Does the flare spot for all people in the game? ---

Yeah flare spots for everyone. Sometimes a good tactic to just shoot a spot flare if you in trouble and hope another squad spots your enemies and kills them for you. ---

That is actually how I use it when I’m last one living in a squad game. Near the end when the circle is smaller I shoot it into a corner where I either see or suspect enemies. Usually this leads to a shootout and I can either shoot people looting afterwards or just live another minutes. ---

Another Spotting question , if I may? If I press ‘Q’ in Solo while looking at a Player or Vehicle that I’ve seen , who sees that yellow or red flag that I cause to appear? I’m thinking that it’s Everyone as well . I find that it’s a great way to get Players to kill each other 👅 ---

In solos since you aren’t in a squad nobody else will see your ping ---

^ Thanks for clarifying that . So-o-o . . apparently , I regularly “ping” Players in Solo who have the tendency to die (or get in trouble) soon afterwards . . . I believe you but . . I’m gonna keep doing it anyway 👅 ---

I’m gonna keep doing it anyway 👅 tempo\_rarity there’s no harm in doing so! If you do it normally it’ll carry over to CQ, Rush etc and help your team!
