Fine-Tune Sensitivity for Large-Scale Battles

1. At higher difficulties, enemy swarms and environmental chaos can clutter the radar. Lower sensitivity to prioritize key threats like Bile Titans and Chargers.

Pro Tip: Use the three-zone sensitivity dials (right side of the Command Center) to control front, side, and rear sound detection, ensuring you can pinpoint threats effectively.

1. Lower sensitivity in intense battles to focus on nearby, immediate threats.
2. Increase sensitivity in quieter moments to detect distant enemy movement.
   

Testing & Best Practices

Dive into a Mission:

1. Start a low-difficulty drop to fine-tune your settings before tackling high-intensity combat.
   

Focus on Critical Sounds:

1. Key audio cues to prioritize in Helldivers 2:
1. Bile Titans Emerging – Detect when a Titan bursts from the ground behind you.
2. Chargers Approaching – Feel the earth shake as a Charger closes in.
3. Enemy Swarms – Identify directional attack patterns in chaotic battles.

Iterate on Settings:

1. Adjust sensitivity settings gradually based on preference.
2. Identify if some sounds are overpowering others and fine-tune accordingly.
