Battlefield 6: War Tapes Audo Mix, Explained (Which One to Pick)

Default Mix

A balanced mix of medium dynamic range that comfortably distinguishes between loud and quiet sounds while retaining impact.

Ideal for Conquest and Breakthrough modes, especially in modes that require frequent switching between infantry and vehicle combat. Versatile mix that works great for both headphones and speakers.

High Dynamics

The largest differences between loud and quiet sounds. The mix is suitable for loud listening levels with high-end audio systems.

If you have the right audio gear, i.e., good headphones, this audio mix will be great for almost all modes. Adds a deeper contrast between quieter sounds like footsteps and weapon reloads to louder ones like explosions. Better used with headphones, but it can work on some speaker configurations.

Night Mode

It offers narrow dynamic ranges with a reduced low end, which makes it suitable for low-volume listening levels.

If you're playing Battlefield 6 on speakers, but want to tone down the louder sounds while still keeping footsteps and gunfire audible.

War Tapes

A raw and aggressive audio mix, which pairs narrow dynamic ranges with high distortion.

Delivers a punchy and bassy soundscape, delivering maximum impact. It may be the best audio mix for the BF6 Single-Player Campaign. Great for headphones that support 3D spatial audio.

War Tapes V.A.L.

War Tapes V.A.L. (Very Aggressive Listening) expands on the previous setting, increasing the raw aggression and making everything louder across the board.

Enhanced version of the War Tapes, which maintains the signature soundscape of the original but boosts the volume significantly. Works best for surround sound systems.
