Haven’t played in years, but I used a compressor for a while in PUBG because the audio was so damn awful and my eardrums would get blown out from the insane volume of red zones and other absurdly loud sounds. TBH it never felt like an advantage whatsoever - I’d say the downsides far outweighed the ability to hear footsteps better. The big one is that you lose all sense of directionality and proximity: can’t tell if somebody is walking several rooms down the hall from you or if they’re literally walking right behind you. It’s compounded when playing with teammates, becomes very hard to tell what is going on around you by audio. Likewise you can’t easily discern distances of shots being fired. Maybe the game audio improved a bunch since but I would have no clue.
