How to mark or flag enemies in Space Marine 2

You will usually be fighting large swarms of enemies in Space Marine 2. So it’s important to mark the key targets that you want your team to focus on first before taking on the rest of the minions.

This is where the marking and ping system comes in. You will be able to mark an enemy by hovering your reticle over them and pressing T on the keyboard-and-mouse or the Up button on the D-pad if you are using a controller.

It’s a very important communication tool that you will want to make the most of when playing the game in co-op with friends or other random players.
