Community Buzzes Over Footstep Fix While Technical Woes Persist

PATCH ACKNOWLEDGMENT DRAWS PRAISE

Bungie's announcement about fixing "unexpectedly loud footstep and landing sounds" earned 4,106 likes on X, with the community finally feeling heard on a longstanding stealth complaint.

TECHNICAL FRUSTRATIONS MOUNT

Reddit paints a darker picture with posts about "hackers in ranked," console cursor speed issues taking "3-5 biz days to move from one side of screen to the other," and PC players reporting framerate locks at 32 FPS.

STEAM STAYS OPTIMISTIC

Despite Reddit's technical complaints, Steam reviews remain "Very Positive" with players calling it "the best game the internet loves to tell you is bad but is actually pretty good," suggesting the vocal Reddit minority doesn't represent the broader paying playerbase experience.

The footstep audio fix is massive for stealth builds - runners can finally ditch sound dampening perks and reallocate those slots to movement speed or survivability mods. But with hackers reportedly in ranked, defensive loadouts with anti-cheat detection gear might become meta until Bungie addresses the security issues.

While it's encouraging to see Bungie addressing the footstep audio issue that's been affecting competitive play, these ongoing technical problems highlight why new players might want to focus on the campaign and casual playlists first. The cursor speed problems and ranked matchmaking issues can be particularly frustrating for players still learning the ropes, so starting with lower-stakes modes gives you time to master the fundamentals while these fixes roll out.
