CoD Black Ops 6: How to Ping Enemies

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can attest that the latest addition to the Call of Duty franchise, Black Ops 6, has truly brought back the nostalgia and excitement of its early days. The launch was nothing short of phenomenal, and the Season 1 updates have only added to the fun.


A significant number of enthusiasts view Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 as a rejuvenation of the established series, with its launch being the most prosperous in the franchise’s history. The initial Season 1 updates are now underway, promising continued support and enhancements for both multiplayer and zombie game modes.

Knowing where your enemies are is half the battle in all Call of Duty multiplayer modes. Locate the opposing team, and you’ll be ready to open fire before they can. “Pinging” or spotting an enemy is a good way to keep your team aware of the opposing team’s positions without using a mic/headset. There are multiple ways to Ping enemies and shout out their locations. Follow this guide to learn how to Ping enemies in CoD Black Ops 6.

How to Ping in Black Ops 6

Here’s a simpler and more conversational way of explaining those instructions:

  • Go – Place a marker ordering teammates to move to this location.
  • Quiet – Place a marker ordering teammates to remain stealthy.
  • Help – Place a marker that calls teammates to aid you.
  • Watch – Place a marker ordering teammates to scope out an area.

As a player, I discovered a handy trick: Instead of navigating through the menu to ping an adversary, simply press up on the D-pad or use the middle mouse button while aiming at them. This action will place a red marker at their location and my character will alert me of their presence by barking out a warning. If the enemy is a sniper or marksman, my character might even specify the type of adversary for added information!

If you’re not comfortable with the Ping function, you can modify it by navigating to the controller settings and toggling on the “Controller Ping” option. This action will reassign the Ping button to the L1/LB keys and shift your grenades to the Up key instead.

At level 29, you’ll acquire The Tracker Perk, which serves as an alternative method for marking enemies. This feature is particularly beneficial for reconnaissance, stealth, and sniper-style gameplay setups. Once equipped, it enables you to detect enemy footsteps when focusing on the ground. Furthermore, when aiming at an adversary, they will automatically be marked, eliminating the need for conscious pinging. If you wish to maintain a high level of situational awareness among your teammates regarding enemy positions, give it a try.
