Configure Audio Radar for Destiny 2

Fine-Tune Sensitivity for Different Environments

Strategic Tip:
Destiny 2 features a mix of open battlefields and tight corridors. Adjust Audio Radar’s sensitivity dynamically based on your location.

1. Use the three-zone sensitivity dials (right side of the Command Center) to control front, side, and rear sound detection, ensuring clearer enemy positioning in different combat scenarios.
2. Lower sensitivity in open-world areas to filter out distant gunfire.
3. Increase sensitivity in enclosed spaces to emphasize footsteps and close-range action.
   

Testing & Best Practices

Focus on Critical Sounds:

1. Key audio cues to prioritize in Destiny 2:
1. Footsteps – Crucial for tracking enemy movement, especially in PvP.
2. Weapon Reloads – Spot vulnerable opponents mid-combat.
3. Gunfire Direction – Identify engagements before they appear on radar.

Adjust for Different Combat Situations:

1. Inside buildings or enclosed areas? ➝ Turn up sensitivity to catch close-range sounds.
2. Wide, open spaces? ➝ Reduce sensitivity to avoid unnecessary light bar activations.

Iterate on Settings:

1. Make incremental changes based on live combat feedback.
2. Test in both PvE and PvP environments to find the perfect balance for enemy detection.
