Best Warzone audio settings explained

The best Warzone Season 3 Reloaded audio settings are all about checking that the most vital information is loudest, and we find that Headphones Bass Boost gives the clearest footstep audio to help pinpoint enemy locations.

Master Volume is down to personal preference, but we highly recommend turning Music Volume to 0. Dialog Volume can be set to 50 because it can sometimes be useful, but you don’t want it drowning out the rest of the game.

I have Subtitles turned All Off, but fell free to turn them back on if you prefer, as Operators can sometimes give useful information.

For Voice Chat, it’s up to you if you want to have Proximity Chat enabled. It can lead to some hilarious moments and give away enemy positions and strategies, but it can also drown out your teammates’ chatter if the enemies are particularly loud.

We like Classic Hit Marker Sound Effects the most, but experiment with a few and see what works best for you. Lastly, I recommend turning Reduce Tinnitus Sound On, as it’ll replace the Concussion and Flash Grenades shellshock with a more “dull and murky” sound, that your ear will appreciate, especially if you play for a long time.
