Since Respawn Entertainment released Apex Legends, battle royale fans have been abuzz about the game’s thoughtful communication options. With the press of a button, you can simply look at an object and tell your Apex teammates exactly what they need to know about their environment without needing a microphone at all. And now Fortnite’s got it too.

Early this morning, Epic Games launched Fortnite’s pirate-themed season 8, which includes map updates such as new locations, as well as another mode of transportation — volcano vents. Epic also teased players that there are a variety of secrets hiding in the update. So far, that’s all stuff that fans can expect from a new season. But the most surprising inclusion has got to be a brand-new feature that will look familiar to anyone who has played Apex Legends.
