Friends blip on the map

zeraoo98

So i noticed my friends blip or "location" is shown on my map both when he is on- and offline. I tried once to cooperate with him and "meet up" by setting way point and going there, but as expected nothing was to be found. Is it just a way to show your friends an exact location or is there more to this feature? Seems like a big loss of potential if it just clogs up your map for no reason.

It just shows their location in their game.. it really has no real purpose. You cant actually meet up and play together. Maybe if they find a bag location or a cool Beat L.E and they want you to find it you can use it to go to their location .. but thats it. Theres no actual multiplayer in the game .. just faux multiplayer with the beat/time trials etc.

Sharing a way point would be more useful that player location.

Mine will show a friends location when he's not online. It leads me to the end of Birdman's Dash. That's it.. wish there was some more interaction in "Social Play.

It shows where the person last was. That's why if the person is not in the game but Online on Origin, then you can still see their blip.
