If you are playing PUBG Mobile then spotting enemies is not at all a difficult job. However, if you are sitting on your computer screen, you must carry a very high-quality headphone, because you won't be able to see the footprints on the map.

Everything suspicious on PUBG PC can only be noticed with ears. There is no such option to see the bullet signs, footprints, enemies approaching with a vehicle. That is why it is always difficult to play PUBG PC without a quality headphone.
