Minimap

[Kirby]

Why the actual hell do I have to unlock the minimap? I don't care if you unlock it after a game or two, there's no reason to have to unlock such a basic feature.

It hardly adds anything anyway. But also that's just part of the genre

Could also be argued that it can help casual players to jump onto the game, providing them less information on screen from scratch. But there is still work to do in this way right now.
Some could also arg it would be better without minimap

I've honestly found myself looking at the map maybe once since I unlocked it. Unless there is a button to enlarge it, I do not see much of a reason to even look at it other than "Ah, there is a ledge there"

The minimap is incredibly useful for finding secondary objectives like boolo caps (which are bright white on the map). That's about all it's good for though.

I feel like it should be upgradable? As it is, the minimap doesn't really tell you much more than you can already see. If you could upgrade its size and range to spot further off resources it might be handy.

jsut play the game guys. once you start doing haz 3 runs, you'll find out just how important the mini map is.

While it's not a sore point to me, imho it's more fun to unlock things like character passives or weapon upgrades or equipment upgrades etc.

Unlocking User Interface components just doesn't seem like "gameplay." Like, maybe they should force us to complete 4 waves to "unlocK" the Game Settings menu and 5 waves to be able to change the game's resolution? No? :)

Depends. It's good to know if you're moving into an area that's a point of no return or when you should change kiting direction cause you're gonna hit the boundaries of the map.

After I made my post I did another run where I was paying a bit more attention to the map for the secondary objectives, but yeah that is about all it is good for unfortunately.

I like the minimap as it is but i'd love to have a way to bring up a full/bigger map to see more areas you've already explored. in the normal game you can bring up a nice holo map of what you've explored so i was hoping there would be a way to do similar
