Waypoints are a feature in Jailbreak added in the Tow Truck Update. [1] They were added as a way for newer or less experienced players to find their way across the map or players who are "lost in the world". Waypoints are also used to help players turn in cash after completing Robberies & Heists.
Overview
Waypoints are a feature that can be used to track down enemies on either team or to find new locations. They can also act as a racing finish line for yourself, to track down laps, or even help you when lost around the Map.
To use Waypoints, simply open the Map by pressing M or pressing the Minimap. To add a Waypoint, select the "Add Waypoint" button which will allow you to select anywhere on the Map with a simple click. To remove the Waypoint, simply select the "Remove Waypoint" button. By closing the Minimap, you can see arrows near your character leading you to the marked waypoint. Waypoints will automatically remove themselves when you reach your destination.
Waypoints have been teased to be expanded one day, allowing you to see new vehicles as teased on Badimo Twitter with the following: "Waypoints will automatically guide you to our newest vehicle/additions in future updates!"
Robbery Waypoints
From addition, waypoints were automatically added once you did the following heist related tasks, pointing you to the destination to collect your cash:
- Grabbed a Cargo Ship crate.
- Obtained an uranium rod from the Power Plant.
- Entered the Bank Truck with another police officer.
- Stole from the Oil Rig.
In the Return of the Forcefield Update, Waypoints were updated to assist players in turning in their cash from the Cargo Plane, Crown Jewel, Jewelry Store and Museum. The delivery point for the Power Plant was also updated to only appear once you exited the building.
