The most ideal VALORANT settings are relatively close to the game’s default settings. Additionally, since VALORANT is such a communication-based game, being able to hear your teammates clearly in voice comms will always provide an advantage. Whether you’re listening for map-wide, obvious cues such as enemy abilities being cast, or trying to attentively listen for more minute audio-based details such as spike defuses and footsteps, being able to listen is clearly very important. In fact, many players would argue that listening for audio cues is the most important thing you can do when attempting to gain the tactical edge in any VALORANT game. Listening in VALORANT is just as important as using your eyes. Being able to definitively hear everything that’s going on around you will certainly give you the upper hand. If anything, being able to listen for VALORANT’s audio moments should be the most important part of your strategy on a game-by-game basis. Being able to hear all of VALORANT’s audio cues is just as important of a factor in your gameplay as the game’s visual cues are.
