Configure Audio Radar for XDefiant

Fine-Tune Sensitivity for Competitive Gameplay

1. XDefiant's close-quarters and objective-based gameplay require frequent audio adjustments. Increase Audio Radar sensitivity in open spaces and lower it in tight areas to avoid overload.

Pro Tip: Adjust Sensitivity

Use the three-zone sensitivity dials (right side of the Command Center) to control front, side, and rear sound detection, ensuring you catch enemy movements, reloads, and ability activations.

1. Increase sensitivity in large, open maps to detect distant gunfire & movement.
2. Lower sensitivity in tight, close-quarters fights to focus on footsteps and reloading.
   

Testing & Best Practices

Focus on Critical Sounds:

1. Key audio cues to prioritize in XDefiant:
1. Footsteps – Identify enemies flanking or rushing objectives.
2. Weapon Reloads – Spot vulnerable enemies mid-reload.
3. Gunfire & Ability Sounds – React faster to ultimate abilities & gunfights.

Adjust Based on Location:

1. Inside buildings? Increase sensitivity for tight engagements.
2. Out in the open? Lower sensitivity to track long-range audio cues.

Iterate on Settings:

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