Last week, we informed you about the new pinging system that Borderlands 3 will feature. This pinging system is similar to the one featured in APEX Legends and today, we are happy to share the first video showing the game’s pinging system in action.
In Borderlands 3, players will be able to ping objects and enemies so that they can – quickly and effectively – communicate with their co-op partners without speaking.
“If you ping enemies, loot chests, guns, or other key points of interest in the game world, those interest points are highlighted in-world and on the mini-map for all players to see, and your character fires off a contextually relevant VO line.”
As said, this pinging system is identical to the one that Respawn introduced in APEX Legends. Now I know that some will criticize Gearbox for copying ideas from other shooters, however I believe that more and more developers should be implementing this pinging system in their co-op games.
Borderlands 3 is currently planned for a September 13th release and will be timed exclusive on the Epic Games Store!

lol I weep for the intelligence of people who buy this trash, given B**chford’s reputation, and all the EGS trash that comes along with it.

why does she point like that?it’s like what you do with your hand when you want to finger a pousy.
Haha, leave it to you to notice that. Dis guy tell ya. So true though, no one points like that.
Claptrap sounds broken without the original voice actor 🙁
If only they could’ve hired the original voice actor. Oh wait, they could’ve – if Randy B**chford wasn’t spending all his time having hissy fits on twitter
Randy expected the guy to voice Claptrap for free, again.
Ping off, Randy and Timmy Tencent.

My ping is fine, my torrent client is ready.
Epic, make piracy great again.
Looking forward to having a ball with this one. Pretty sure I’ll manage to never think of the dopey Randy while doing it too.
