minimap

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how the minimap works. What enemies appear on the map. How long for after they fire do they appear on the minimap. All details would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Nevica

Enemies appear in the minimap when:
- They fire a weapon, which doesn't have a silencer or it's not a bow or when the enemy launches a Hologram attachment. I think this lasts for a second or two.
- When using Maximum Radar and the enemy hasn't equipped Low Profile module
- When they are tagged (with Recon arrow and Pinger's EMP blast only?)
- When you you're in Maximum Nanosuit mode (The support bonus you get after collecting nine or ten dog tags without dying)

Other details:
- The dots, which are completely red, are enemies who are in the same level as you. Dots with light red show that they are below or above you. There's a note, which shows are they below or above.
- Enemy holograms are also shown in the minimap.
- If enemy is in a Pinger, one of the dots will be shown outside of the map. This also seems to happen when players are still choosing their loadouts.
- If an enemy shoots in a place which isn't show in the minimap, the direction will shown in a corner of the minimap.

When they're tagged I believe the dot isn't a filled in red, it's like a grayed-red or something.
Oh, and VTOL shows on radar, too.

If your radar is suddenly scrambled and an enemy EMP blast hasn't been activated then some fool close by is using the radar jammer module and is rather conveniently giving themselves away.

If the red circle has an arrow pointing UP they are above. DOWN arrow denotes a player below.


If you notice a red dot is basically right in front of you but no onne is actually there (not in stealth either), its because you're in a laggy lobby with a bad host
