• Listen Mode

Listen Mode is definitely the most important tool at your disposal. You can use it to check the position of all enemies who may be going to assault you. Listen Mode is useful both when Infected haven’t discovered you and when you’re on the run from them: use it to plan all your movements in a certain area. Also note that you can use the mode whenever you want to so use it to your own advantage. The only drawback to Listen Mode is that only enemies making noises will be detected so be very careful about the surroundings: some enemies may be completely silent and not get detected. Considering how avoiding fights is always the way to go in the game, make sure to use Listen Mode whenever possible: a single Infected could be killing you so knowing where they are and what they’re doing will give you a great advantage over them.
