I have 1500 hours and I have no idea if Crouch walking works or not

[Höllenfeuer]

I cant hear people crouch walking on me no matter their character but people pin point accurate know my place when I use ALT+crouch slow walking. Is it something with my settings or am I losing my mind? I dont hear people at f*cking all if they use this

you need at least 3k hours to earn that skill

Can also be your headset etc, I bought non-gamer headset and could hear all sorts of new noises in the game.

Slow walking makes sound, but is almost silent when shooting is taking place. When there are no sounds from others like in a 1v1 you can hear the slow walk quite clearly.

Its just a simple explanation, the game audio is buggy as hell since Operation Health. Im using a studio headphones and a DAC/amplifier. Yes sometimes the audio works perfectly but mostly not. It is not your fault it is just Ubi.

Its pretty quiet but you can hear it if youre really listening. Also yeah game audio is pretty buggy sometimes which could be part of it.

I am here since dust line. I was so fed up about the game I quit in 2019. Its amazing how a game is this buggy unbalanced and regularly changes meta still manages to be played. Who am I to judge I came back again :(

You have only 2200

Depends also on your armor class (you can always hear a 3 armor, no matter what they do and how slow they walk), and if you are walking through debris (note that even a broken poster/painting can cause noise).
So it's useless to sneak up to a corner where you know an enemy is (and he can peek you) if you are a 3 armor, since he is going to hear you meters away.
And yes, sound is broken, especially the vertical one (floor/ceiling breached).

you need to develop your sneaking ability to at least level 30.

Hello everyone, thanks for bringing up this topic of crouch walking audio issues.

If you have any clips to demonstrate this or can detail your audio settings and speaker/headset type, please make a report on our R6 Fix website so we can see how many players are affected by this > https://r6fix.ubi.com/projects/RAINBOW6-SIEGE-LIVE

We have had a few recent audio bug reports this season and I have also seen mention of footstep sound discrepancies in the new Team Deathmatch mode, with crouching and normal movement, so we are looking for video examples and details of when it happens, what operators are used, and what headsets/speakers this effects, to help us replicate this.

you need to make crouch walking viable. the point of crouch walking is you try to move slow and risk being easier to hit while being sneaky. There seems to be no need for crocuh walking because no matter what you do people hear you. make it completely silent so its viable. Also when stand still in a spot(not while lying on the floor)looking arround aimming we shouldnt make weird moving sounds giving away our position. Trying to move slow shouldnt be penalized. Look at CS GO in which you press shift (equa to ALT in R6)tmakes almost zero sound. Please dont bash me for giving CS as example but it is more close to reality(in that aspect).

Thanks for your feedback on the crouch mechanics Höllenfeuer.

If anybody else feels the crouch walking mechanic needs to be improved in the game, or has noticed any negative changes since the latest update to crouch walking, please let us know in this thread also and I will gladly pass this on as feedback to our Siege team and highlight this thread!

crouch walking is near silent, unless the other player is literally next to the entrance or extremely close by, they will not hear them moving. If they are pinpointing you from a distance, make sure to observe how they pinpoint you. If they are simply anticipating you coming from that direction then it's one thing but if they start to track you or toggle, it can give away a cheater. it can be hard but one sure way is their kill count. Some hackers are just straight bad but others try and hide the cheats.

[Ubi Milky]

Thanks for the detailed explanation and for sharing your experience of this Nomad, we will keep checking this thread for any updates to see how players feel about this.

If anyone else would like to contribute their thoughts please do in this thread, if you've seen any good discussions of this elsewhere on the internet, please let us know so I can forward that on too. I know changes were made in-game previously when players complained that the crouch walking was too quiet.
