Apex Legends devs respond to broken Mirage \u201cbuff\u201d not working Respawn EntertainmentA Season 7 buff to Apex Legends\u2019 Mirage, that was meant to fix an issue with his decoys\u2019 footsteps not making noise, appears to have failed. The developers over at Respawn are looking into it. Mirage mains rejoiced back in early January, as Respawn confirmed that a Fight Night Event bug fix would actually make the Holographic Trickster\u2019s abilities stronger. Mirage has the ability to spawn identical decoys to try and \u2018bamboozle\u2019 and ambush engaged enemies. However, his decoys do not make any footstep noise, making them easier to pick out as fakes. Most players thought this was intentional but, in the Fight Night patch notes, Respawn said they had \u2018fixed an issue\u2019 with Mirage\u2019s decoys not making footstep noise. They confirmed it as a bug fix back in the Fight Night Event patch notes. The fix was released when the update dropped on January 5 \u2013 but it\u2019s now clear that it is not working as intended. Read More: Respawn reiterates they\u2019re not adding Solos – One Apex Legends player reached out to Jason McCord, Design Director at Respawn working on the battle royale, saying: \u201cI was wondering if Mirage finally got that \u201cbug fix\u201d with his decoys making footsteps sounds. I\u2019ve not heard any decoys making footsteps since the updated, even playing as Mirage.\u201d In response, McCord simply responded: \u201cI\u2019m checking. Thanks for bringing it up.\u201d Despite being touted as a bug fix, many players were keen to see the change added to Apex Legends given the fact that it would constitute a buff for the fast-talking legend. The changes \u2013 when fixed and working as was originally intended \u2013 will add another layer of distraction to his arsenal. Enemies will no longer be able to hear footsteps and identify the real Mirage. Footstep audio could indicate a decoy or the real character.
