I seen that there is a chat on the top left of the screen… I do not know how to do it. Lol Edit: Xbox One ---

J brings up “all” chat, allowing you to communicate with everyone K brings up “team” chat, allowing you to communicate with only your team L brings up “squad” chat, allowing you to communicate with only your squad ---

I guess I should be more specific. On Xbox One, I saw it for the first time today. ---

I don’t think that’s possible for Xbox. Or if it does, you probably need a keyboard attachment. There’s a chance it might be a bug introduced along with the new patch. EDIT: Just found out! It’s only if you’re requesting ammo, medic etc. You can’t use it to chat. ---

If I’m not mistaken, it’s just for ammo, meds, repair requests, etc. still have to use your commo-rose. ---

Ok I just saw it at a glance when I was playing lol I was confused and thought the same like that’s not possible!!! ---

This new feature/bug is terrible… They obtrusively give up screen real estate. Expecting the same people that constantly refuse to respond on mic or to obvious localized in-game audio/visual cues. Fat chance, probably easier to squeeze juice from a stone! ---

Well, I play on PS4 but when I hold L1 or LB a radial chat menu pops up.
