SOUND...who?

I remember watching a video on YouTube where a guy explains how audio is mixed in Apex and COD and all Apex sounds populate space around the same so they blend into each other or rather overlap and you can hear only loudest one, which is always your gun. Only improvement I experienced from these "audio updates" was that I heard Path Q-ing couple of times while I was shooting, everything else is the same garbage as it has been for 6 years and to add insult to injury Ash's dash sounds like a breeze 😂😂 You should've realised by now that they either can't fix it because it's impossible or they're incompetent. I love Apex as a game, as an idea for a game rather, but Apex is by faaaaar THE worst software I've every touched in my life and the most toxic anti solo player experience I've ever had. The only reason I switched to Apex after having played CS for 15 years was because I was so fed up with Valve only releasing music kits while we had to pay Warmup servers to have proper dm experience like we did in CS 1.6 and also we had to pay for FAceit to have something called anti-cheat, but Apex is even worse experience than CS2 so I am still here albeit I literally just play for battle pass, everything else is just broken Mixtape is non stop one-sided stomp, ranked and pubs are even worse cancer. Season 24 is just smoke and mirrors with sprinkle of 14 battlepasses 10 bucks each, no updates to improve this game as a software at all. Every Apex update feels like doing a paint job on a car that doesn't even have an engine, let alone non working one. Almost forgot, new update also brings new braindead meta you must play if you wanna have any fun...

I don't know if it's just me, but in a building with, for example, several floors, I always wonder if I hear footsteps on the ground floor or on one of the floors...

While footsteps on the roof can be recognized, footsteps on the upper floors are not properly directed. The sound in this game, despite improvements, still sucks.

It's the same in open spaces. I hear footsteps, but when I look in the direction that seems most appropriate, I often see someone 10-20 meters further than I expected.

Unfortunately, the sound in this game requires a complete rework.

Yeah it's really hard to tell if sound is coming above or below you or on which floor someone is, it's always been a problem in source engine, CS fixed it with implementing HRTF heck Titanfall 2 had sound occlusion in the options and it made night and day difference, they removed occlusion from Apex config files because it didn't align with they design, what sort of design is this steaming pile of 💩 we have in Apex 😂
