Call Of Duty: Blackout - 10 Essential Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

3. Radial Audio Is Your Best Friend

Call of Duty has always had a loving relationship with a good pair of headphones, but I cannot stress enough how important they are to winning Blackout, or any battle royale for that matter.

In Treyarch's new mode though, they've really gone out with sound design. Footsteps can be heard from far away depending on where you're hiding out, and that's without mentioning perks like Awareness or Dead Silence, letting you respectively hear footsteps far louder or mask them altogether.

Basically, like the finest Fortnite and PUBG players, you need to fully immerse yourself in the survivalist notion of making it through a real-world battle royale. That means maximising your surroundings, and listening out for everything.
