To put it simply enhanced listen mode is super helpful for finding stuff and spotting enemies when youre exploring. While holding r1 you can press circle to ping for items within 30 meters, and square lights up any enemies in the area which is really good to know when youre trying to be stealthy. The nice thing is you can tweak how far it scans and how long the ping lasts in the accessibility settings under navigation and traversal.

Something interesting about this feature is that it's actually part of the bigger accessibility package but tons of players use it just to make exploration smoother. The controls are pretty straightforward, just hold r1 first then hit circle for items or square for enemies depending on what youre looking for. Its worth checking out the settings to adjust the range and duration to whatever feels right for your playstyle.

The whole system is actually pretty clever since it helps you spot important stuff without making things too easy, and you can always turn it off if you want more of a challenge. Just remember that when youre scanning for items, it'll only show you the stuff thats actually worth picking up which keeps things from getting too cluttered.
