Octane\u2019s jump pad finally getting necessary nerf in Apex Legends Season 11 Respawn\/EAAt long last, Octane\u2019s Jump Pad is being tweaked in Apex Legends Season 11: Escape as players should finally be able to hear enemies launching off it. Octane\u2019s pick rate in Apex Legends has picked up over the last few seasons, with players wanting to use his unique burst of speed to take fights with enemies. The Adrenaline Junkie\u2019s jump pad ability has also been a big plus for those players wanting more movement, but it has been a point of annoyance for others. For the last few seasons, Apex players have constantly complained about a lack of sound coming from the pad, as they are left unaware that they are being flanked or jumped on by an Octane\u2019s team. Well, that is finally going to change in Season 11. Respawn\u2019s John \u2018JayBiebs\u2019 Larson, the associate live balance designer on Apex, noted that it will now be \u201cquite obvious when nearby players are using pad and traveling through the air. The change to Octane\u2019s jump pad was not mentioned at first in the Season 11: Escape patch notes but that has since changed. \u201cImprovements to Jump Pad soundFX,\u201d is now noted in the bug fixes section of the patch notes alongside the issues addressed for Fuse, Seer, Rampart, Pathfinder, and Wattson following Larson\u2019s tweet. Looks like we actually missed that! But it’ll now be quite obvious when nearby players are using pad and traveling through the air. Shoutout to @denseclarity for making that change \u2014 JayBiebs (@RSPN_JayBiebs) October 28, 2021 While we can\u2019t say for definite just the sound effects have been improved, it seems likely that Respawn has either added new, distinct sounds for players launching off the pad, or they\u2019ve just increased the volume of the pre-existing ones. We\u2019ll have to wait and see how the change shakes out when Season 11 starts on November 2, but players are glad that their long-standing frustrations are finally being looked at.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
