The ping function is a vital communication component in today’s multiplayer games. Pinging and marking a spot or target can quickly let your whole team know which area or enemy you need to focus on without saying a word; especially if you are playing with randoms or someone not on your voice channel. For those of you who are currently enjoying the team-based, asymmetric game Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, here’s what button you need to push to ping in the game.

Ping Buttons in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed

To ping in Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, all you need to do is press the Right Stick if you are on PlayStation, Xbox, or using a controller on PC. Meanwhile, keyboard and mouse players can quickly press the Mouse Scroll (also known as the Middle Mouse button). A marker will pop out wherever you are pointing and its color will change, depending on what it is marking and revealing which room it is located in.

  • Red marker: That means you or your friend has just pinged a Ghost.
  • Blue marker: It marks items that can be possessed by the Ghost.
  • Grey marker: Indicating all other points of interest, including collectibles.

As I said before, you should constantly be on the lookout for pings from your fellow Ghostbusters, regardless of the color of the marker. This way, every single one of you would be instantly aware of what is going on during the match even without speaking a single word with each other. Keeping an eye on pings will be an important factor when tracking down a Ghost or Rifts so you could destroy them and win the game.
