Climbing audio.

I’m not sure if it’s a bug or not but plenty of times I’ve noticed that there’s no audio for other players climbing near or onto the roof top you are on. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Do you hear climbing audio if you don't use the headset or if you don't use the mixer? This way we can pinpoint whether it is hardware compatibility related that the team needs to be aware of.

    I’m not sure as I always play with a gaming headset and the monitor muted however, I can say that I have friends using turtle beach headsets and they are having the same issue as I am if this helps at all?

    So season 2 has come around now and the climbing audio is still non existent. Any news in regards to fixing this? it is extremely frustrating to not hear someone climb directly behind you and laser you with an r-99 to end your game.

  • @JustDF1 Basically the game negates every non-artificial sound coming from behind you. Someone may be dancing that no-skin fortnite dance and you’d likely not hear it xD.

    Climbing audio I do hear tho, but it’s not as loud as when you climb yourself (which it shouldn’t cause that’d be weird). At least on xbox if someone climbs you can hear the initial ‘stepping up’ and the slight grunt when pulling up. That is if your facing the direction it happends in.
  • I agree, almost every game I encounter someone climbing up where there is no audio for their climb, if they are behind me they get a free kill because I didn't hear them climb up. This is an issue that needs to be fixed, an is one of my biggest complaints when in fights in the game.
