Fortnite is a positioning-based game. Knowing where your attackers are and taking high ground before they do is crucial, especially in Zero Build Mode, when cover and height are severely limited. Sound is also important in Fortnite, as discovering elusive loot buried deep within labyrinthine constructions or figuring out where hostile players are hiding may be the difference between winning and losing.


However, not every player can play with sound, whether owing to hearing issues or just a desire to keep the noise level low. Thankfully, Fortnite features a function that allows players to visualise sound effects in connection to their avatar, providing them an advantage when looting and shooting in Chapter 3 Season 3 of Fortnite. This article will show users how to activate this feature, allowing them to participate in a quiet Victory Royale.


How to See Footsteps In Fortnite?

Start the game and sit in the lobby to enable visible sound. From here, hit the pause button – by default, “☰” on PlayStation and Xbox, and "Escape" on PC. Then, using the cog as a guide, scroll down to the settings tab and click on it.


Switch to the "Audio" tab, denoted by the speaker icon, using the arrow keys on the PC or the bumpers on the console.

 

Players may tweak their game's individual sound settings on this menu; after they've got them just right, scroll down to the "Sound" section and turn on the "Visualize Sound Effects" option, then click "Apply" to save the change.


When players load onto Fortnite's pre-match island, they should see symbols aplenty; if the setting isn't on, they can go to the sound menu in-game and toggle it on.

 

When this option is enabled, 3D audio is disabled, which means headphone players won't be able to determine the direction of footfall using stereo sound.

 

However, the advantages of visualising sound probably outweigh the disadvantages of this type of noise tracking, since the on-screen effects make seeing the direction of chests and footfall more simpler. In fact, Ninja, one of the most renowned Fortnite streamers, uses this feature to follow enemy movements.


Footsteps, gliders, and player-driven vehicles (and animals as of Chapter 3 Season 3) are shown in white for newcomers to the environment, with little symbols in the centre indicating the sound. Furthermore, explosions and gunfire are orange in hue, while chests gleam golden.
