How to hear footsteps better in CS:GO

Boosting your chances in CS:GO can totally hinge on hearing those sneaky footsteps! First off, make sure you're using headphones - it makes a world of difference compared to regular speakers. Dive into the game settings and tweak the 'Audio Output Configuration' to 'Stereo Headphones' for the best experience. Don't forget to adjust the 'Master Volume' and 'Music Volume in Steam Overlay' to your liking, so the game's important sounds stand out. And if you're really into getting every edge you can, look into getting a headset with good sound stage and directional audio. Last tip, practice makes perfect. The more you play, the better you'll get at distinguishing those footsteps from other sounds.

Honestly, the biggest game-changer for me was upgrading to a better quality headset. You won't believe the difference it makes in picking up those quiet footsteps. Before, I thought everyone was sneaking up on me, but now, I'm the one doing the sneaking. It's all about that crisp clear sound. Don't skimp on your headset if you're serious about your CS:GO game.
