Re: Bloodhound's ultimate is more of a hindrance than a useful ability

The team is currently aware of some performance issues with the Ultimate being used as well as audio issues happening in game. There's some details in the link below with steps that may resolve the audio issues for you though.

AUDIO KNOWN ISSUES

Issues we are aware of and currently looking into:

 

• Audio dropouts, where sounds or parts of sounds in the game seem to be missing at times.

• Audio distortion, where there is loud static or mangled-sounding audio that plays, generally during large gunfights and/or heavy concentrations of players.

• Close enemy footsteps being too quiet, or silent, in some situations.
