Benefits of Using Pins

Able to Mark Your Next Destinations

Pinning allows you to mark your next destinations. This lets you plan your route during a run, which is one of the most important things to do in order to level up fast.

How to Level Up Fast

Communicate With Your Team

Pinning and marking your map is the best way to communicate with other players due to the game not having voice communications. Utilize pinning to communicate with your team!

Avoid Getting Lost

Limveld is filled with Points of Interests and getting lost can be a problem when finding a specific location. Using pins will prevent this problem and will save you a lot of precious time!
