This option will tell you exactly where footsteps, gunshots, vehicles, and heals are coming from, even revealing the direction of sounds you might not have heard otherwise. However, it will not tell you when an enemy player is crouching or provide any information on other sound effects meant to be silent.

To gain the most competitive edge in Fortnite, it's crucial to use the 3D Audio settings as well, in combination with the Visualize Sound Effects option. Make sure you have both enabled if you take the game seriously.
