In order to send a message, simply pick a message from one of the few in the communication wheel. This will then display that message to your team. At the same time, to ping the enemy location, you can do the same method. This time, however, you choose the Enemy option at the top of the wheel.
This will then ping your target enemy location so your team can respond accordingly.
Customizing Your Message
Another nifty addition to this feature is that you have the option to change which messages are displayed in the communication wheel. There are actually a handful of messages you can choose from. All you have to do is head over to your main menu and choose Option.
