9/10 times Octane is DEAD silent, including when he runs, slides, jumps, jumps on/off jumppad, in air, stim, heal, reload, etc. for some reason he doesn't make any kind of sounds most of the time, and this includes teammate Octanes. You usually hear him once you die, which doesn't help. Yet, I can hear every other legend just fine.

@Midnight9746 Octane’s Audio is weird because I will randomly hear him squeaking when nobody is around, but you can’t hear him when he is aroundAlso the Bocek Bow is so silent...

This has been happening to me a lot recently IDK if the audio is bugged or what. Been snuck up on 3 separate times by an octane moving full speed.

@CasensHyper I sometimes don't hear Pathfinder or Revenant, but that's like 5% of the time and not a huge issue - I can hear those teammates without issues. Octane is like, so quiet, I go "wait... why am I being shot at?"

@Midnight9746 I actually cant hear wraith, lifeline, revenant, gibraltar and horizon.

@Midnight9746 I envy you. I can’t seem to hear any legend, especially if they’re using the L-Star, which has basically no audio cues at all.

@FPShogunWeird, I can hear Wraith, same with Lifeline, Gibraltar, and Horizon, with Rev being a bit wonky where I don't hear him going up the side of a wall like how I would if I was climbing it myself, but that seems more of his skillset than a bug.

I'm personally wondering if there's somehow cheaters intercepting audio packets and stopping them from being sent as well.

@Midnight9746NEVER happens to me. What is your headset?? Can you crank the volume enough to hear it? Mine is 3D Pulse from Sony, clear and loud sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyTb4Gy6CaA

@Palette24carats I can hear things a bit far just fine, I hear people running up to me all the time - except when its Octane for some reason.

@Midnight9746 Octane uses jumppads all the time...I think you hear him land but not jumping and flying towards you...
