Bungie acknowledged

loud footstep issues

affecting stealth gameplay with a mid-season fix incoming, earning 3,464 likes on X. Meanwhile, console players are amplifying their

cursor speed complaints

— one Reddit post titled 'STOP IGNORING US - Console Cursor Speed Setting' highlights the core frustration that 'it shouldn't take 3-5 biz days to move our cursor from one side of the screen to the other.' Steam reviews remain

Very Positive

with addiction-level praise ('immensely addictive I cannot stop thinking about it'), though 150+ hour veterans are calling it

mediocre

compared to other extraction shooters. The

slide cancel fix

in Update 1.0.5.2 is being received as necessary balance, with Bungie emphasizing their philosophy that 'rapid repositioning and aggression must always have a meaningful cost.'

Cursor speed directly impacts inventory management efficiency and menu navigation speed in competitive scenarios. The footstep audio fix addresses a core stealth mechanic that's currently broken for flanking routes. Bungie's delayed response on console cursor settings shows they're prioritizing audio over UI optimization.

The footstep audio fix could significantly shift stealth-based loadout viability, potentially making suppressed weapons and mobility-focused builds more competitive in the meta. Console cursor speed issues, while seemingly minor, directly impact weapon switching and loadout management efficiency during matches. If Bungie prioritizes the audio fix over UI responsiveness, expect stealth tactics to resurge while console players remain at a mechanical disadvantage in loadout optimization.

The footstep audio fix is massive for stealth builds - finally viable to run lightweight frame runners with sound dampening mods without broadcasting your position. Console cursor issues are killing loadout experimentation since menu navigation is so sluggish that most players aren't bothering to theory-craft different gear combinations between matches.
