Configuring Audio Radar

Adjust Sensitivity: Given the size of the map, we recommend having the Audio Radar's sensitivity at a medium-to-high level. This ensures gunshots far away won't go unnoticed, and nearby footsteps are more likely to be noticed.

Testing Tips

Enter a Creative Sound Map: Look for a Creative mode sound map to test sound levels in a controlled environment.

Use Visualize Sounds: If you activate Visual Sounds in the Audio Settings, you'll also see what sound is indicated on Audio Radar.

Iterate on Settings: Make incremental changes to your audio settings based on your experience in the practice matches. Notice if certain sounds are too prominent or if others need to be more discernible.
