While this won't help every issue with LoS and map awareness abilities, it will be of some use. Generally, when reversing to avoid danger, the current minimap doesn't help with identifying a crossable path. So I propose a color coordinated minimap adjusted for movement so that the player can have a better idea of where they can and can not move to. Here is an example that shows the player will be able to reverse to their right, but not to the left:

Here's another example of what it might look like when you're not immediately up against an obstacle. Red represents an impassible object, and yellow represents a steep drop where you might take fall damage. In both pics, the backup indicator must be dependent on the mech leg position.
