Okay, so today I’m gonna walk you through how I tackled reactivating radar in Wuthering Waves. It was a bit of a head-scratcher at first, but I finally got it working, and I wanted to share my experience.
First things first, I jumped into the game and realized the radar wasn’t doing its thing. No blips, no pings, nothing. I figured it was probably something I had to unlock or enable somewhere.

So, I started digging through the menus. I went into the settings, looked for anything related to UI or map settings, but nada. Couldn’t find a single option to turn the radar on or off. I even checked the keybindings just in case I had accidentally unbound the radar key, but everything was as it should be.
Next, I figured maybe it was tied to a specific quest or progression point. I went back to the main questline and started replaying some of the earlier missions. I was thinking maybe I missed a tutorial prompt or something. Still no luck. The radar just remained stubbornly inactive.
That’s when I decided to hit up the online forums and see if anyone else was having the same problem. Turns out, I wasn’t alone! A bunch of people were complaining about the radar not working. I scanned through a few threads, and someone mentioned that the radar might be tied to a specific character’s skill or ability.
This was interesting. I started experimenting with different characters in my party, trying out their skills to see if anything would trigger the radar. Lo and behold, one of my characters had a passive skill that activated the radar when they were in the active party slot!
The key thing was, the game doesn’t explicitly tell you that the radar is linked to this character. It’s just something you have to figure out by reading the character’s skill descriptions super carefully.
So, here’s the breakdown of what I did to get the radar working:

- Double-checked all the settings menus for radar options (there weren’t any).
- Replayed early quests to see if I missed a tutorial (I didn’t).
- Searched online forums for similar issues (found some).
- Read character skill descriptions carefully (bingo!).
- Ensured the correct character with the radar-activating skill was in my active party.
After that, the radar popped up and started working like a charm. It was a bit frustrating to figure out, but I’m glad I finally got it sorted. Hopefully, this helps anyone else who’s struggling with the same issue. Sometimes the solution is just hidden in plain sight!
Moral of the story: Always read those character skill descriptions! You never know what hidden abilities you might be missing out on.
