Listen out for specific audio cues

Even if you have the best audio settings and equipment possible, you still need to know what to listen out for. This comes with practice, but train yourself to recognize distinct audio cues and their meanings.

These cues can be used to judge an enemy player’s distance, whether they are running or walking, and if they are above or below you. More information is always a good thing, and audio is no exception.
