If you ever feel like you'd have won a fight in Arc Raiders if you actually heard the player sneaking up on you, then you need to turn this setting on right away

Arc Raiders: Key art of a raider looking over their shoulder in a forest to look at another raider aiming at them in the distance.

Generally speaking, it's the players you can't see that pose the most danger to you in Arc Raiders. Chances are, players who stroll on up to you and make their presence known just want to be your friend, or they'll openly betray you later on but you'll often see that coming, to be honest. Either way, getting ambushed by a raider crawling around behind you is hard to come back from.

Ignoring the bad AI voice acting, Arc Raiders' audio is pretty stellar for the most part. But I'll admit, I've been jumpscared quite a few times now by players suddenly appearing out of thin air simply because I didn't hear them coming—thankfully, most have actually been friendly.
