The Mini-Map on the Heads Up Display (HUD) is a crucial tool that gives you spatial orientation in the game world. It's the primary compass and shows you nearby terrain and waypoints.


Coming soon: We're enhancing the Mini-Map to include crucial new features that often requires you to open up your main game map to see the facilities and other key information like ownership, town altitudes, who owns what fire base, what town is nearby...


But all of that will soon go away and show you the information you need to stay engaged without compromising your tactical situation.


Side note: Centering of facility icons (a 2026 roadmap delivery) has been achieved, and is now even more crucial. This means globally, flag (facility) icons are properly centered on their corresponding capture point.



Key features of this mini-map update include:

  • Show town names.

    • Includes Attack or Defensive objective overlay.

  • Show facilities.

    • Including ownership changes in real-time.

  • Show if the town is contested.

  • Show nearby towns if available when zoomed out.

  • Show nearby firebases.

    • Including ownership changes in real-time.

  • Show town altitudes (hover with cursor over town label).

  • Allow zooming in/out with cursor.

  • Show if strategic position has Docks, Deep Water Port, or Airfield, etc.

This... IS fantastic. Playing for many years the mini map has always been my go to but, having to hide to look at big map or taking me out of the action, being vulnerable, this is AMAZING. I love it and not too busy but so much more info to keep you in game. (stand up applause) Great work CRS.
