Out in the Central Wastelands, you can see where all your Convoy members are via
icons in the display and on the map, so you can always tell where your Convoy
members are (if you’re on the same map). The icon and minimap color will also be
in green, so you can tell them apart from the losers that aren’t in your Convoy.
Now you can go out and really do some damage as part of a team. Don’t forget
that some classes’ Battle Modes and skills give additional benefits to Convoys
on a whole, so be sure to use ‘em if you got ‘em!
Not only
do you have your own Convoy chat channel, you can actually talk to them. If you
have a microphone-equipped computer, you can use the game’s built-in voice chat
to communicate to your Convoy friends. Just hit the keypad delete button to
transmit. You’ll soon be shocked to hear what your online buddies sound like.
Better yet, you can even silence them by hitting the Mute button on their avatar
icon if you feel your like your eardrums are about to explode.
If you don’t want to be in the Convoy any more, you can always “Leave Convoy”
(you can also type /leave in the chat). If you happen to be the Convoy Leader,
that position goes to the next person in the Convoy. Remember that Convoys are
very basic pick-up groups and are not permanent in any way, shape or form – you
can join and leave them as much as you want (but can only be in one Convoy at a
time).
Now you can go take on those Corps whack-jobs. Just be sure to bring your
Convoy buddies and lots of ammunition.
