I get that it could become a massive pain with spam pings and what not, but i cannot believe this function still isn't in this game. My primary gripe with this is the auto ping of respawn beacons. The nearest one 9/10 times is the worst one to go for, always at least one team near by, or 2 teams fighting over it already to use it.

Not everyone has friends to party with, not everyone uses open mic, literally right now in game voice chat has been disabled on Xbox to resolve bugs with it, the text chat doesn't show on screen anymore either, making pings the only way some people comm in this game.

And you can't use them at all when dead. Not to ping a beacon ,crafter, rotates. Absolutely nothing.
