HUD and UI Improvements
Improvements to the HUD include splitting several broad HUD options into a wider variety of more granular options. Please note that some of these were already implemented on the TU 3.5 update for PC, but are now fully and officially implemented across all platforms:
- “Contextual Actions” has been split from “Input Reminders”
- The “Markers” HUD option has been split into six distinct types of markers, each of which can be toggled on or off—”Objective markers”, “communication markers” “enemy/rebels markers” “Item & location markers” “sync shot” “alert markers”
- A new option has been introduced to toggle detection clouds on the minimap
- Additionally, deactivating the Sync Shot HUD markers will no longer prevent your AI teammates from using the Sync Shot ability! These improvements, and more, are listed below.
