Ingame chat - can other teams see it?

[Decado]

As per subject, if you communicate via chat can anyone else see it?

Also is there any form of indicator system to be able to mark locations / indicate danger etc?

I don't know the default mode, but there's both Proximity and Party Only VoIP (voice-chat). I think comma (,) or dot (.) are used to toggle. One does Voice Chat On/Off and the other does Proximity/Party Only.

In Proximity Chat, both teammates and enemies can hear it (if in range).

There's no in-game "contextual ping system" as far as I know of. What used to be done, and maybe still is, for non-verbal communication is just slapping your torch against stuff or throwing it in a direction. A bit caveman-y, but quite effective.

Another alternative is to go to the 'customize' tab and assign emotes. Not sure which has to be bought or not, but there used to e.g be a 'point' emote.
