Putting the ping on same d-pad setting as emoji. Really screwed up. This better be changed. Put it on the left thumbstick push down.

Idiocy.

If you don’t want to hold the down on the dPad, you can press up on the dpad which brings up the weapon wheel, and then press down. So instead of the old down, or new hold down. It’s a quick up, down.

Fun thing I like is that there is nothing in the keybinds about it.

Nice workaround, for sure.

Unfortunately, it's not ideal for events where emoji spamming is a thing.

It would've been better if holding down the d-pad button would trigger the pings. But, whatever.

Use keyboard and mouse. That is not Mario or FIFA

Agreed, people emote a hell of a lot more than they ping.

D-pad should have been setup like F4. This whole wheel thing stinks.

Also, when you're running the Boardwalk solo and need to move fast and emote after taking down an enemy, it makes it that much harder when you have to push up and then push down.

I use Xbox controller. Holding down on the D-Pad to use emotes is a colossal sized pain in the butt. Never going to get used to it.

Honestly doesn't bother me. I prefer the ping. You only have to hold it for a split second to activate the wheel. Complaining about the effect on events is pointless, there was always a 3 second delay on those, if you hit it more than that, any emotes you do, only count every 3 seconds, significantly more than it takes to open the wheel.

Am I the only one confused by the use of 'ping' --- ping what?

When i tap down on d-pad now it just tries to use a stimpack(same as when I press right on dpad) so unsure what it is supposed to actually do.

Yeah. It's a mess. Kbd/M snobs don't respect controller players. This wheel setup is a joke. They should have used the D-pad cross setup from F4.
Obviously, the designers are clueless on controllers.
