Configuring Audio Radar

Adjust Sensitivity: Given the size of the map, we recommend having the Audio Radar's sensitivity at a low level. This ensures the lightbars don't get too cluttered with large explosions and flurries of gunshots.

Testing Tips

Enter a Match with friends or a bot match: Configure the Radar in a controlled environment.

Focus on Critical Sounds: As you play, pay attention to the direction of important sounds like footsteps, weapon reloads, and close-range gunfire.

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.
