Configure Audio Radar for Battlefield 2042

Adjust Sensitivity
  1. Due to the large map sizes, we recommend setting Audio Radar’s sensitivity dials on the Command Center to medium. This prevents distant gunfire from being ignored while keeping nearby gunshots more prominent.

Testing Tips

  1. Enter a Practice Match:
    1. Start a bot match to experiment with sensitivity and audio settings.
  2. Focus on Critical Sounds:
    1. Pay close attention to directional cues from:
      1. Vehicles approaching from a distance.
      2. Weapon reloads and movement from enemies nearby.
      3. Gunfire proximity, ensuring accurate threat awareness.
  3. Iterate on Settings:
    1. Gradually adjust sensitivity and game audio settings based on your gameplay experience.
    2. Identify if any sounds are too overpowering or need better isolation.
