Im sorry you are being led by misinformation from random sources and not actual Apex Legends in game evidence.
LOW PROFILE = Legend more difficult to hit, takes 5%more damage.
Each legend has their own hit box ”size” and LOW PROFILE in game does not state it changes hit box size.
And what I said about octanes stim shows true in basically every scenario he is in and needs to stim. For example trying to 3rd party is a lot easier when you engage with the ability to hear all the sounds ( explosives, ultimates, footsteps, reloading, running, climbing, jumping, etc.. )
- @KoltSolo First, you still haven’t explained how low profile makes them more difficult to hit. I’m pretty sure it’s just stating that the legends with the perk are more difficult to hit, and subsequently take 5%. It will apply to legends who are more difficult to hit, and balances them a little. If it doesn’t do this, than how does it make them more difficult to hit?
My sources are not misinformation, and besides, you haven’t found any sources for the movement speed of your own. Just saying “in-game sources disprove this” is not enough, you need to actually say what sources you have.
Yes, the Low Profile thing states that, but I am pretty sure we are just interpreting it differently, but I’ve backed my interpretation with some logic. You haven’t really, you just pointed back at the quote again.
Octane’s stim is loud, but I don’t see it overwhelming explosives and ultimates. I don’t think you would normally hear the enemy reloading, but I don’t think it would be super useful anyhow. Climbing, jumping, and running are important, but I think you can hear them a little if you listen closely. Don’t get me wrong, the stim is very loud, maybe louder than it should be, but I don’t think it’s a game changing mechanic.You're basically saying that your sources (ex. Games Radar) information is more factual and plausible than actual IN GAME EVIDENCE, all because a random person like you or me wrote a blog on how to play bangalore better lol sorry but thats misinformation and misleading to anyone reading this especially coming from the guy that not long ago tried to tell me that LOW PROFILE literally didn’t state what it ACTUALLY states. Find another post to prove wrong cuz its not happening here. Like I said I have a great deal of experience with this game and every legend for someone to come in here and try to push some nonsense on my post that Im trying to shed some light on serious character flaws.
@KoltSoloI do have a lot of experience too, but you still haven’t shown your “in-game evidence” for the speeds of the characters. As far as I know, there is none, or very little. I’m not pushing nonsense on you, I’m just making sure you are spitting facts instead of opinions.
Here are the patch notes from when low profile was implemented.

“ Low Profile increases incoming damage by 5%”
This says NOTHING about changing legends so that they are hard to hit.

Bangalore Double Time speed reduced from 40-30
And I can find more for the rest. Please don’t reject my evidence just because it isn’t exactly in the game.*These are patch notes, by the way.
@Sir_NamedNotfabtv mains octane notfavtv has a 9.0 kill death ratio for this season. I main octane I also do well on him. He is fine imo. Only buff he truly does need is his stem needs to be in my opinion just a tad faster.
Let us not forget he is by no means low profile. He is a speed demon daredevil. He is meant to be in front of the gun fight boosting his way to stardome. He is not meant to be some passive aggressive sniper. He is loud he is proud he is octane.
- @E9ine_AC I like octane and I like playing him. I’m not particularly against any buffs, but I also would rather not have misinformation being spread. I would rather not have a gang of people take up concerns about octane not having low profile, and then getting him nerfed. (Although it’s unlikely to happen)
@KoltSoloLow Profile is literally just a title, it nerfs a legend by making them take 5% more damage...
It does not magically ‘’buff’’ a legend and change their hitboxes to make them harder to hit just because they are given a title @Sir_Named is completely correct and you are not- @FaIIenAngeI777 Yeah just like fortified isnt a buff right lol
- @FaIIenAngeI777 Fortified isnt a buff right? It doesnt reduce incoming damage by 10% and not slow characters? It doesnt magically “buff” a character to make that possible right? You all are so smart and good at the game!
@KoltSoloI thought all of this would be common sence... Apparently not in your case to be honest i think you are just trying to troll everyone because I don’t think you are that stupid, not trying to be rude just judging by everything you have said above seems like a form of trolling behavior
Low Profile is was given to Pathfinder,lifeline, and wraith because they were the most picked legends in the game, also because pathfinder has a broken hitbox, lifeline has fast heals, and wraith runs all bent over and can phase and recently low profile was given to wattson because shes the only small hitbox character with defensive abilitys... it is a nerf but does not change their hitbox at all only increases incoming damage by 5%
Fortified was given to Caustic and Gibralter because obviously they are the thick bois of the game but also because they were the least used legends because of how easy they were to kill at the time so they now take 15% less damage, i never said fortified wasn’t a buff... that was just your childish trolling behaivor jumping to conclusions
Your above statements were saying low profile ‘’makes a hitbox harder to hit’’ which is completely incorrect as the hitbox was hard to hit before the low profile was added to the game... low profile was added to help fight against legends with harder to hit hitboxes and the devs were hoping to see pathfinder, lifeline, and wraith chose less to see the other legends getting used more often (it was literally in the dev steam with the game developers explaining it if Im rememberring correctly)
Octanes hitbox may be small but he is by no means hard to hit even when hes stimming so he does not need low profile, also his hitbox isn’t broken compared to pathfinder where you used to be able to shoot him in the back and nothing would happen but that has been fixed
I am no longer answerring to your childish answers, I don’t understand whats going on in your brain but you are misunderstanding the most simple straight forward concept... it literally states +5% incoming damage or -15% incoming damage
