Quick answer
WARDOGS includes proximity voice chat, and public wording allows nearby social interaction beyond simple squad-only comms. Use it as a fast local decision tool around movement, danger, and objective timing.
What is proximity chat for?
It is for local, immediate information: enemy approach, vehicle sound, revive calls, transport pickup, route danger, and objective timing. Short callouts are more useful than long explanations when the score check is close.
Is squad communication separate?
Yes, official pages mentions squad communication tools separately from local voice. Read that as two coordination layers: local callouts for immediate danger and squad communication for the wider plan.
How should players use voice around the Control Zone?
Use voice to make decisions faster:
- Call the faction and direction, not just "enemy."
- Say if you can revive, transport, build, or spot.
- Warn before entering the Hot Zone with expensive gear.
- Keep vehicle comms short: pickup point, landing zone, threat, dismount.
Practical read
Keep callouts short and actionable:
| Situation | Useful callout |
|---|---|
| Enemy near the zone | Faction, direction, and distance. |
| Revive possible | Who can revive, who can cover, and where the threat is. |
| Vehicle pickup | Pickup point, landing or stop point, and dismount timing. |
| Hot Zone push | Entry route, support role, and exit plan. |
