That horrible noise in your Apex Legends matches should be going away today
If you've played a single match of Apex Legends' Chaos Theory event, you'll undoubtedly have experienced the near-deafening sounds that plague Mad Maggie's Kings Canyon takeover. However, the erroneous effects should be patched out today, according to Respawn's developers.
The problems surround the new Heat Shield which was one of the many changes added in the Chaos Theory update. The Heat Shield is a variant of Gibraltar's Dome Shield, except it protects you from taking ring damage instead of from incoming fire. The Heat Shield can be carried by any legend in the new Survival Slot providing they're not carrying Respawn Beacons.
When you enter the protection of a Heat Shield, however, there is a loud noise, similar to that when you're caught by the ring. The problems appear to have arisen when players enter the protection of a Heat Shield, as everyone in the match can hear the loud "wom" - no matter where they are on the map.
