Fine-Tune Sensitivity for Stealth & Survival
  1. The Isle rewards stealth. A higher Audio Radar sensitivity setting helps detect distant predator footsteps and bush rustling before they get too close.
Idea
Pro Tip: Adjust Sensitivity
Use the three-zone sensitivity dials (right side of the Command Center) to control front, side, and rear sound detection, allowing for more precise tracking of distant movement.
  1. Increase sensitivity to detect predators before they detect you.
  2. Lower sensitivity in open environments to reduce activation from ambient noise.

Testing & Best Practices

Stay Quiet – Audio Radar Picks Up Your Own Sounds
  1. Running, roaring, or even walking loudly can be picked up by other players AND Audio Radar.
  2. Move slowly when necessary to avoid triggering unnecessary sound detections.
Focus on Critical Sounds:
  1. Key audio cues to prioritize in The Isle:
    1. Footsteps – Detect predators stalking through vegetation.
    2. Bush Rustling – Identify movement from large or hidden creatures.
    3. Distant Roars – Know when to avoid high-risk zones.
Iterate on Settings:
  1. Adjust sensitivity settings gradually to find the right balance.
  2. Too many sounds activating the light bars? ➝ Lower sensitivity.
  3. Not catching critical sounds early enough? ➝ Raise sensitivity.
