How to find each other on Multiplayer

[papatch15]

My friend and I are playing in multiplayer, but can't find each other on the large map. How do we locate each other.

The easiest way is to have your characters be in the same steam group. You can set your character to be in any steam group you are in on steam where you edit your character. If your character is in the same group as another you will see a nametag from pretty darn far away (about half the map). You also won't be able to hurt each other (except with traps/explosives).

The map is also fairly small once you get to know the handful of locations. You can find an in-game map that displays your own location (and MAYBE steam grouped friends?) this will help you learn the map MUCH faster.

The main road goes through almost (every?) major location and is nearly a complete circle.

learn town names, landmarks, there should be several maps available online, ingame or on the guides section

jerk... lol

but like they said, look ath the out of game map (you can actualy found one ingame, but it's just as rare as a gun) try to locate points of interrest, like where is the city, is there something unique, is there a sign...to help you here are my hints:

-Alberton: dock with a boat, T shape road. on the inner sea side (you can see the other side of the map). you are on the west of the map.

-Charlotte town: dock with only containers, double T shape road, outer sea side, one camping on the right, two farms on the left: you are on the south of the map.

-Montague: military tent at the entry, water tower, flat land, road goes to a beach (west)
belfast airport (north) to a golf terrain (south east) to charlotte town (south west)

-Belfast airport: avoid without guns. north east.

-Burywood/Military base: north west. military base's road leads to alberton (south) turns to burywood (east). burywood is the only city with a road barrage and a watch tower.

?

littleton - the small town with no distinguishing features other than being small
boaton - the town with the huge boat docked at it
gaston - originally the only spot with a gas station until the new town arrived
newton - the new town (may have to be renamed waffleton if another city is ever added)

Why make up names when the places already have names?

They may be "stupid" names, but they're the names that we all know (and what are shown on the ingame map.

because my names allow me to communicate to my group faster and without confusion.

I can't even remember if that was an option back when this thread was made... it got a pretty sweet necro bump by mettaton just now.

EDIT: based on my suggestion from a year an a half ago above... I guess it was
