Worst sound design ever
Apex Legends must have about the worst sound design I've ever had in a game. The gunshots are incredibly loud, even from the other side of the map. Meanwhile, footsteps can barely be heard from peopl...

@denial1877777 Some ppl can hear but some ppl like us dont hear any footsteps. Its not about good or bad headset...
Playing on Win10, using Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma
In other games like Pubg, BF4, BF1, CoD...etc. I can perfectly trace people behind the walls just by listening to their footsteps, so sometimes inexperienced people call me WH. I mean the surround sound of my headset works perfectly. But in APEX I can't hear any footsteps when people get close. I can't hear anything even if the gun barrel sticks to my butt... (I only hear the sound when people slide.) Except for my teammates, their footsteps loud and clear even when they crouched. Also I can hear the revive sound of the enemy at very close range (point blank range) but I can not hear the sounds of healing/armoring items even at point blank range. When I try to healing myself enemies hear it from far away and they rush at me. But i cant do the same, cuz i dont hear any heal animation sounds. This is a huge disadvantage for me.
@Imterriblehelpme Close range silent footsteps is a known issue. I hope they fix it soon.

Yes there is a bug where sometimes you may not hear foot steps. No one is arguing that. This is a conversation about the sound overall, not about the glitch.
But i honestly have never had an issue hearing footsteps on my astro 40 TRs however my best friend runs the krakens and never hears enemies before i do. Maybe you both dont run the volume high enough or maybe it is the headset. I don't know. But the fact you say you can't hear the rezing sound but enemies hear yours leads me to believe it is your headset or your volume not being loud enough.
But i clearly hear footsteps. I kbow what surface they are walking on and can usually even hear the difference in the sound of the footsteps each character makes.
I spent 450$ on a headset and still run it near max volume, i sacrifice my hearing for hearing footsteps lol
