@FaIIenAngeI777 yep fortnite have the visual sound thing well sorted out. I can play it with the sound off.

No so apex. There are 3d visual indicators of incoming damage, but it always seems a little too late for me.

So it's about making the best of it for me. 

Recently I've been told about the DTS sound setting on xbox, and that seems to open up the stereo field somewhat and make it easier to get a bit more of directional sound, esp footsteps. 

There is a way to specifically improve footstep sounds on pc, outlined in the below thread:

        @OldTreeCreeper I did not Tree, only because it looks like it was for PC and Xbox. I run on PS4.
        But I'll take any advice you may have for PS4 that could help me here a full squad sprinting up behind me to steal my wallet covertly. : )
