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.
- 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.
- Lower sensitivity in open-world areas to filter out distant gunfire.
- Increase sensitivity in enclosed spaces to emphasize footsteps and close-range action.
Testing & Best Practices
Focus on Critical Sounds:
- Key audio cues to prioritize in Destiny 2:
- Footsteps – Crucial for tracking enemy movement, especially in PvP.
- Weapon Reloads – Spot vulnerable opponents mid-combat.
- Gunfire Direction – Identify engagements before they appear on radar.
Adjust for Different Combat Situations:
- Inside buildings or enclosed areas? ➝ Turn up sensitivity to catch close-range sounds.
- Wide, open spaces? ➝ Reduce sensitivity to avoid unnecessary light bar activations.
Iterate on Settings:
- Make incremental changes based on live combat feedback.
- Test in both PvE and PvP environments to find the perfect balance for enemy detection.
