Map markers

Too many or inaccurate markers create noise and make every SL’s picture of the battlefield worse. Follow these rules and your whole team sees a clearer map.

The three rules

✓Always

• One helmet marker per enemy. Not two, not three.
• Remove the marker when that enemy is killed.
• While dead, use the time to clean up old markers.

✕Never

• Stack markers on the same enemy. It shows more enemies than there are.
• Leave stale markers after a fight.

Standard markers

Infantry

Exact or best-guess enemy position. One per enemy; remove it when they die.

Open-top vehicle

Gunner is exposed. Call it out too, and say whether it is moving or stationary.

RWS vehicle

Remote weapon station, gunner protected. Call it out: moving or stationary?

Tracked RWS

Call it out: moving or stationary?

Tracked IFV

Call it out: moving or stationary?

Competitive

Competitive teams call every vehicle on their team Discord, because it’s faster than relaying through squad leaders.

Moving or stationary?

For every vehicle, this distinction matters: a stationary vehicle is a top-priority mortar target.

Special markers

Playing with an experienced mortar player?

They will often use their own mortar marker setup instead of the default mortar marks. It’s much more informative, and it can be used by fireteam leaders as well as squad leaders. If your mortar player uses one, learn it before the match. See Mortars: firing.

Mortar requestAnyone

Not for single infantry. Use it for sustained enemy activity in an area, or several bodies about to be revived.

Priority mortar requestAnyone

Highest-priority target. The mortar player switches to it as soon as possible.
