Footstep audio really needs fixing
Footsteps have been almost impossible to hear lately — not just for me, but for my whole squad. Enemies are super quiet while allies are way too loud. The friends I play with all have the same issue...

Just in case you haven't seen, audio did get a specific callout in the latest patch notes!
We're still investigating further reports, but hopefully these are a step in the right direction (and you can actually now hear that direction) when the patch goes live tomorrow.
AUDIO
- De-prioritized friendly zip-lines so enemies will always be played
- De-prioritized non-threatening enemy footsteps (bodyfall and downed) to ensure potential threats are always played
- Experimenting with lowered volume/inaudible friendly footsteps when under significant threat—let us know if this is helpful!
- Reduced volume of Hovertanks in Kings Canyon
Dev note: Thanks to those who've uploaded audio logs when prompted after an abnormal amount of interruptions were detected. Our team is reviewing all current reports for potential action. If you encounter this prompt, please continue to send your reports as additional data will assist with investigations.
Thanks, as expected there is no significant difference :) already good spooked by teammates once today and mixed up their foot step and Ash dash with potential enemies calling out dumb calls in like 3 games :)
Not that this result surprises me :)
Another successful day in the office aye :D
