When invoked, the '''Timer Ping''' (default key "F") displays an icon that appears on the screen of both the initiator and their Co-op partner, for the purpose of synchronizing a specific action. The Timer can be used for a variety of purposes, the most common of which is allowing Co-op partners to synchronize the creation of [[Portals]], the activation of a switch or button, or most commonly the activation of [[Circuit Breaker]]s.
