Audio feedback is one of the most important clues that players need to keep track of if they wish to be successful in Warzone 2. Listening to the sound of footsteps, the reloading of guns, or even the sound of someone bashing a door open - such auditory cues are important if a player wishes to keep track of their surroundings in the fast-paced combat of battle royale or Resurgence matches.

Among these audio clues in Warzone 2, footsteps play the most vital role, allowing players to know if enemies are near and from which direction they are coming.

The Season 2 patch has introduced many changes to the title's sound engine. With the arrival of a new occlusion system, operators are expected to get a better idea of their surroundings from just the audio feedback.

However, that has not been the case for many players, and numerous complaints regarding Warzone 2's audio can still be found on various social media sites. This is mainly due to using older settings that are no longer valid in the latest season. As such, this article will index the best audio settings that players can use to get better footsteps audio in Season 2 of Warzone 2.

Good audio settings are necessary for any online shooter title, and Warzone 2 is no different. Audio clues give players tons of additional information about their surroundings, which allows them to make informed decisions regarding their next course of action in battle royale matches.

Certain settings like the Headphone Bass Boost will enable players to hear clear footsteps audio, which is needed to keep track of the location of nearby enemies. Turning down the music volume will also allow players to hear the environmental sounds more clearly by negating the distraction that the background music causes.

Turning on the Reduce Tinnitus Sound will eliminate the ringing sound when a flashbang blows nearby. Stacking up the effects of these audio settings will allow players to get a much clearer footstep sound in battle royale or Resurgence matches.
