How to see footsteps on Fortnite

Last updated
Ever wondered how to spot your enemies before they spot you in Fortnite? Seeing footsteps can be a game-changer.
Let’s dive into how you can see those sneaky footsteps in Fortnite, giving you the upper hand.
Spotting Footsteps Easily in Fortnite
To see footsteps in Fortnite, you need to turn on the ‘Visualize Sound Effects’ option in the game settings. This feature converts sounds like footsteps, gunshots, and vehicle noises into visual cues on your screen.
Once you enable ‘Visualize Sound Effects,’ you’ll notice icons appearing around your character’s HUD, indicating the direction and type of sound. Footsteps will show up as little footstep icons, letting you know where an enemy is even if they’re behind walls.
Turning Visual Sounds Into Your Tactical Advantage
With ‘Visualize Sound Effects’ on, you’ll not just see footsteps; you’ll also get alerts for vehicle sounds, gunfire, and chests. This is especially useful in crowded areas or when you’re scouting a location.
Besides helping you spot enemies, it makes the game more accessible if you have difficulty hearing or prefer playing without sound. However, remember that enabling this might clutter your HUD a bit, so practice getting used to the new visual cues.
