How long will it take for fatshark to fix this…
I guess they are too busy fixing clipping issues for premium cosmetics.
This one is much worse than silent specials imo.
You did not hear the specialist coming?
Maybe you get disabled or damaged, but you won’t necessarily die to that.
If you do notice them in the last moment, oh well. It is just one dude that you can kill quickly.
In case you do get disabled or even downed (which is quite unlikely), a teammate can usually pick you up without many issues.
If you get silent crushers from behind, you just instantly go down in 1 shot.
If there is an entire group of silent crushers, and you notice them just before they get you, you are now involved in a longer fight against a bunch of tanky guys that put a lot of pressure on you, and can 1 tap you.
If you go down, the presence of multiple crushers can easily prevent someone from reviving you, leading to proper death.
I recently had this issue, when i was about to kite a beast of nurgle through a doorway.
Suddenly, i had a bunch of silent crushers behind me, blocking my way. I was stuck between the boss and the crushers, with no way to avoid the overheads.
The crushers proceeded to kill my downed character, before any of the teammates could get past the boss or the crushers to save me.
Had i been able to hear the crushers that were right behind me, i would have turned around before the doorway, and could have gotten out of there.
Yeah, it’s way worse than vermintide 2 sound, in vermintide 2 I always understand where every special and elite is coming from, chaos warriors make a lot of noise with their steps, in darktide crushers are basically ninjas and sometimes directional audio for specials comes from the wrong direction, i don’t even know for how long crushers have been bugged like this because I started playing again after the penance update.
Yeah it’s so dumb. If Mutants’ footsteps can be loud, CRUSHERS, who are bigger and heavier, with carapace shoes, should have the loudest footsteps in the entire game. A crusher shouldn’t be able to move without hearing him from the next zip code over.
