To request a Truce, open the Ping Wheel during a deployment and select Request Truce at the top. This is also the action required by the Friendly Face Order. A Truce is a signal that you want to cooperate; it does not automatically add the other players to your squad or prevent them from attacking you.
Send the request from the Ping Wheel
- Enter a deployment and get to a position where you can briefly use the menu.
- Hold the action assigned to Ping to bring up the wheel.
- Select Request Truce at the top.
- Watch for the Truce marker and check Friendly Face's task counter if that Order is active.
The linked PlayStation demonstration holds D-pad Up. The keyboard-and-mouse Friendly Face walkthrough uses middle mouse held down and recommends checking the binding under Settings → Keyboard & Mouse or Controller. Use your assigned binding if you have remapped it; tapping a normal ping is a different input from holding the wheel open.
The official Hajin guide confirms that Truce requests and squad assimilation are accessed through the Ping Wheel. You do not need to find an item or go to a separate FOB station to send the request.
Accept another Operator's Truce
Look toward the other player's Truce marker and ping it. On that controller layout, pressing D-pad Up while looking at that marker accepts the proposal. Players involved in the Truce are then indicated by a white symbol when viewed.
Before walking into the open, check that the interaction actually registered. The marker is a communication tool, and the other player can still decide to shoot. A Truce also reveals your willingness to cooperate at that location, so consider the surroundings before sending one while carrying valuable loot.
Keep Truce and assimilation separate
| Action | What you are trying to do | Confirmation to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Request Truce | Signal that you do not want to fight. | Truce marker appears. |
| Accept a Truce | Acknowledge another player's proposal. | The Truce interaction registers and the involved players have a white indication. |
| Squad assimilation | Join or combine with other Operators through the squad actions in the Ping Wheel. | The game completes the squad-joining action and your squad display changes. |
Sending or accepting a Truce is not itself a completed squad-joining action. If you want to travel as one squad, use Request to Join Nearby Enemy Squad or Invite Nearby Players to Join Your Squad on the wheel, then confirm the actual roster. Do not infer membership from a white flag alone.
Complete Friendly Face without adding another objective
Friendly Face's recorded wording is “Use the Ping Wheel to Request a Truce.” It asks for the request, rather than a kill, a completed Story Mission or an accepted squad invite. The linked short demonstration completes that request step without waiting for another team to join.
If it has not updated, confirm that Friendly Face is active, that you used Request Truce during the deployment, and that you opened the wheel rather than only placing a standard ping. Other Orders on the same page, such as Information Power and Arms Deal, still have their own completion checks.
