Master Volume is down to personal preference, but we highly recommend turning Music Volume to 0. Dialog Volume can be set to 50 because it can sometimes be useful, but you don’t want it drowning out the rest of the game.

We have Subtitles turned All Off, but you can turn them back on if you prefer, as Operators can sometimes give useful information.

ActivisionHearing enemy footsteps is key to your survival in Warzone.
For Voice Chat, it’s up to you if you want to have Proximity Chat enabled. It can lead to some hilarious moments and give away enemy positions and strategies, but it can also drown out your teammates’ chatter if the enemies are particularly loud.
We like Classic Hit Marker Sound Effects the most, but experiment with a few and see what works best for you. We also recommend turning Reduce Tinnitus Sound On as well, as it’ll get rid of the ringing sound from Flashbangs and other Equipment.
