In the latest Fortnite patch notes, Epic Games has introduced a critical 15% reduction in the occlusion radius for footsteps triggered by high-profile gliders. This update directly impacts players using the AMP KAI vs Sign of the Dragon or AMP KAI vs Fruit Salad outfits, who previously exploited audio masking to gain an advantage in vertical endgames. As part of the shift in the Chapter 7: Season 3 meta, this balance pass ensures that the ambient thumping of AMP KAI vs Swamp Knight’s heavy armor is correctly prioritized in the audio mix. Previously, the audio footprint of Swamp Knight made players easy targets, but this adjustment levels the playing field for the competitive tier. By eliminating the silent-push advantage that plagued high-tier scrims, Epic is refining the competitive landscape before we transition into Chapter 7: Season 4. Be sure to adjust your audio settings to capitalize on these shifts. --- ## 🔗 Related Skin Comparisons - [Sign of the Dragon vs Analysis](/compare/amp-kai-vs-sign-of-the-dragon) - [Fruit Salad vs Analysis](/compare/amp-kai-vs-fruit-salad) - [Swamp Knight vs Analysis](/compare/amp-kai-vs-swamp-knight)
