If you’ve got some sweet high-quality headphones on-hand and happen to play the online battle royale game Fortnite<\/a><\/strong> on a regular basis, you might be interested to hear Epic Games has added in a new option that makes it easier to detect which direction you’re about to be attacked from.<\/p>\n

Alongside the launch of Chapter 2, Epic has revealed the inclusion of a “3D Headphones” mode to improve the spatialization of tactically-important sounds. Here’s how you can toggle it on:<\/p>\n

With the release of Chapter 2, we\u2019re excited to share that we\u2019ve added a setting to improve audio. Tested by members of the competitive community, by toggling on the \u201c3D Headphones\u201d mode in the Audio Options menu, the mode will improve spatialization of tactically-important sounds.<\/p>\n

What does that mean? You\u2019ll have a better sense of sounds above, below, and behind you! Please note: we recommend stereo headphones for this mode, and the mode will not work if you have the \u201cVisualize Sound Effects\u201d accessibility option enabled. Jump in and try it out!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Epic has even released a video explaining how the 3D headphones option works:<\/p>\n
