Silent Jet Pack

Seems like every other match I am on a roof shooting someone then magically the silent jet pack it blowing me away from behind. I don't really care that characters can fly now but the stealth jet pack it a little to sneaky.

  • @Lampwrecker2 close range sound issues especially from behind has been a weak point of Apex for seasons, you can find multiple threads here in the forums about this.

    Jetpacks...haven't had such a case, but that would be bizzare. Currently the most exploited sound issue = Ash ult and silent portaling. That is very annoying and pretty much you can either be paranoid and preaim clear air all the time or just face the consequences when enemy team executes porting ideally = beam you for free.

    Since season 11 launched, more times than not, valks jet pack is practically silent. I have died for this reason too many times to keep count. I replied to another not long ago here whom voiced the same problem. Before season 11, Valk if in a POI next to the one I was in if used, was vaint....but still could hear it enough to say to my teammate "there is a Valk over there" and ping the POI next to us. 

    Now since season 11, valk can use it 5 feet from me to jet over my head and land directly behind me with either the slightest vaint sound, making me feel she is a ways away....or absolutely no sound what so ever. 

  • Just want the flying toon to make more noise. Silently landing behind people is not really fair game play. Also if hit by cryptos electric magnetic pulse that jet pack should stop working and the character should incur huge fall damage if not die instantly. 

  • @Lampwrecker2 I don't have any problem with hearing Valk's jetpack. The times you don't hear anything are related to the really bad audio Apex has in general.
