Wear Headphone

Fortnite makes use of directional audio that tries to let you know in what direction something is happening, whether that means gunshots, an enemy player, construction, etc. This is a huge piece of information to have if you're looking to avoid someone sneaking up on you, or if you're trying to sneak up on someone else. I've found you'll have the easiest time making it work with headphones, for obvious reasons. I suppose if you had a nice, working surround system, that would work even better. But for most of us, a pair of headphones is going to be your best bet for getting as much as possible out of the audio.
