I was surprised to figure out the bone conducting headset didn’t make covert sneakers audible, in past cod games there usually was a perk that boosted footstep noise and countered dead silence a little, people using dead silence were audible but at lower volumes than normal footsteps if you used the counter perk, and that’s how it should work here
while using the covert sneakers opposing players using bone conduction headset should be able to slightly hear their footsteps at the same range as base footstep sound... and the counter to the bone conduction headset should be dead silence in which the headset should then not be able to hear ANY movements from the opposing player
i honestly thought i was having sound issues whenever i used covert sneakers because i don't even pickup my own footsteps. Now i realize that everybody is using covert sneakers and it just feels like footstep sound just shouldn't be apart of the game anymore. even when you have amazing headphones i can't heay my own or other peoples footsteps because they too are using the sneakers. it needs to be nerfed big time, or sound needs to be fixed. it feels like i am missing half the game audio sometimes.
All you need to know about how overpowered completely silent footsteps are is that in the original MW2, the ONLY other perk in the same category that saw any play was the much-hated Commando perk, which gave you a 15 foot one hit kill knife range.
Lol yup, not sure why they bothered with this Perk, could have just made default steps slightly louder that the covert sneakers because everyones gonna use them anyway.
Crouch walk should be silent or near silent regardless of the sneakers and the sneakers should only be silent when running, not tac sprinting... Not sliding and not climbing. The sneakers are so busted.
To further expand on this... The climbing boots should be the ones silent when mantling and climbing, the ones to slide should be ones that are quiet when sliding.... I dunno wtf they were thinking by making these sneakers so strong that it's basically a no brainer to use...
Dead silence perk doesn't need a nerf its rather the bone headset which eneds a buff to allow it to completely hear dead silence users which allows the counter play.
as long as they have to sacrifice other crutch perks its fine, that's how og mw2 and mw3 were with amplify and setrip perks. dead silence/ninja in current state has 0 counters unlike other perks which have counters in the game.@@Spiderinjuly
@@AMGameGoesOn I respectfully disagree with you. I just don't see how it's considered a crutch perk when camping or just playing carefully is way too strong in cod. I think campers all just use bone as there's nothing else good that it replaces. Ghost is good but ghost was never a campers perk, its a rushers perk. Not having a counter to covert is fine imo, players need to run around a little lol
@@Spiderinjulyand you need to get gud imagine your complaining about sound absolutely insane. And for the love of humanity STOP saying sound whoring isn’t a skill it’s a sense. How is listening a skill?
Bone conduction definitely should be an actual counter and amplify covert sneakers. Maybe not to normal levels, but maybe like 60% normal footstep volume. It's insane to have silent footsteps with no counter, and the old CODs never did this They always had a direct counter
But.... equip bone conduction headset and you can hear them just fine. I hear close players with covert sneakers every time I'm not actively shooting. Yall love to bitch man
Bone conduction headset was based on ‘awareness’ perk, but it doesnt cancel covert sneaker audio like awareness perk did to ninja, which makes no sense, it would give dead silence ability a use if this was changed imo
I feel like Bone Conducting Headset should cancel out Covert Sneakers, so then they just sound normal. That would make the 2 items counter each other, but not be too overpowered. Then the aggressive players could use Covert Sneakers, and Campers the Bone Conducting Headset putting them on an even field.
Nah the bone conducting headset should be able to hear covert sneakers but at a lesser volume like 40-50% quieter than normal running like the older cods did
i agree, it is wayy too strong. i think a deafened slide sound needs added, as well as ladders and mantling. and with bone cond headset it should make as much noise as crouch walking in normal setup.
I tried to warn people these boots and map voting was a bad idea. But sense its in the game, don’t nerf the boots, just make the other boots much better
They need to get rid of it permanently. No one not even a ninja moves that quietly. It’s ridiculous. Snow gravel etc will always make noise regardless of how softly you walk.
I agree they are extremely powerful, but I feel like I’m only using them on maps with lots of metal and watery pathways, or lots of close-quarter opportunities. Most of the larger maps with long sightlines make it negligible, as they are more likely to see you than hear you.
Fair point, but even on the maps with longer sight lines the covert sneakers are still the best boots when compared to the rest, a 10% strafe improvement or a 10% mantling improvement will rarely save your life, but silently outflanking a nearby enemy will always give you a huge advantage.
@ikepigott so it's dead silence minus the time limit no wonder I'm getting killed so much its bad enough I don't have headphone nor surround sound speakers.
The fact that something like the headset doesn't counter it like at least abit so that when its quiet that you can hear them really quietly is insane. Search and destroy is unplayable on some maps because of this shit
Unpopular opinion, covert sneakers need a nerf or bone conducter should be a soft counter. Theirs a difference between loud footsteps and absolute zero footsteps. Zero in my opinion is just way too much.
I always use the sneakers because the campers can hear my footsteps and turn on me just in a nick of time. But after I got the sneakers on things turned upside down.
I agree that the covert sneakers need a nerf. It's neat that there is an option for completely nullifying one's sound presence, but it shouldn't be as easily accessible or "always on" like the covert sneakers are now. Great video as always Favstar
I don’t think the covert sneakers should be nerfed, the base footstep audio should be reduced to make them less audible and lessen the gap between the two. Also the bone conduction headset seem to let you hear the covert sneaker user, but it wasn’t the footwear audio that you hear, it was their gear moving around
I think that’s just going to make the situation even worse. Everyone is already using the sneakers, reducing the base audio will just make the very few people not running them quieter too. We’re already basically at the point that everyone is pretty much completely silent at all times, it’s creating this gameplay loop where if you aren’t looking in the direction of the next enemy, you pretty much can never win because there’s no audio cues at all that there’s a guy behind you, ever.
I play mainly search and the bone conduction/covert sneaker are a must have combo. You have to really key in and listen for the operator’s equipment jingling around. You can even hear the high pitch sound dead silence makes on enemy players .A lot of times you’ll hear the player last second and you need to rely on reaction but that’s one of the best parts of cod to me.
Doesn’t need a nerf, The other sneakers need buffs instead or they need to make the base footstep audio quieter so you don’t need covert sneakers unless you’re within 8-10 meters of an enemy player
@@notmckye1647'game sense' on messy maps with no structure so enemies can come from any angle... Id like to see someone 'read' an enemy coming from a sewer drain pipe from the back of the map under a kitchen table. These maps were not designed for permanent dead silence, and are especially OP on SND
you can't hear footsteps, but I don't have a problem listening to the equipment moving, covert can be counted with Bone Conduction I can still hear their equipment.
I do think it needs to be nerfed. I also think the Bone Conduction Headset should be buffed specifically against Covert Sneakers so they more or less cancel each other out.
The very first game I played after unlocking and equipping the covert sneakers, every single player in the lobby had them. This was after I had yet to run into them for at least 20-30 levels of gameplay. I'm here watching this video because I initially thought the covert sneakers eliminated ALL footstep audio both for the player and also for the players enemies. After confirming this is not the case it seems like SBMM also takes into account what items you have equipped.
Interesting, it's probably a coincidence how that worked out, but in any lobby with above 1 KD players virtually everyone is using the covert sneakers, if you don't use them and you move around you're dead. They either need to nerf the sneakers ASAP or reduce the default footstep volume significantly.
Na back in the day everything basically had hard counters of some sort. The devs don’t even care anymore, cause bone conductor/aka old awareness perk was a hard counter to dead silence. Now they either cant even design games that make sense lol!
Bone conduction headset should have absolutely canceled out covert sneakers. But of course the youtubers would have cried about it for the next year. How dare there be a play-style to counter hyper aggressive play.
I think covert sneakers are fine, it's just others being too weak. Lemme fix them -sprint sneakers: double tac sprint duration, shorten recovery time by half, be able to fire your gun while tac sprinting and normal sprinting (no more sprint to fire time) -strafe boots: double strafe speed, and hard lock minimum strafe speed at 5m/s -that fall dmg boots: competely eliminate fall dmg, and make you able to unlimitedly bunny hop, also double jump height and speed -swimming boots (paddles?): double movement speed in water
Covert movement can be silent, but running should at least have 10-20% of the normal sounds loudness. Specially as there is no counter perk. It’s unplayable now,
Could you test the Signal Jammer and see how it actually works? It claims that it disrupts claymore / mine. I’m wondering whether it delays their detonation or simply does not trigger them. Thank you!
It completely nullifies trip mines and claymores! It’s amazing for rushing with the stealth boots lol. No need for the bomb squad perk or whatever it is that limits explosive damage.
@@Eric-ge5vpWow……it’s not a good news for a mines user, like me. I need to find a way to counter that gear. I was never a big fan of this kind of “hard counter” things at all. Luckily it shares the same slot with the Ghost perk. I imagine not many people pick others over Ghost.
Glad to see you back! Are you planning to do all equipment and thermal optics like before? I'm curious to know wether the smoke airdrop will shield you from ai air support this year or not.
I would argue situational awareness and game sense is the counter. I feel like people have gotten too comfortable with footstep audio giving people away. If deadly silence gets a nerf, I believe that the overall audio of footsteps should be reduced.
I think it could be nerfed a little bit, but I'd say buffing the other options would be a better idea. Stalker boots for example are super weak and if they got a substantial increase to the strafe speed I'd for sure say it's a viable competitor.
Is it much different than dead silence? I dont use headphone to listen to foot steps so I think it balances it out for me Also I dont play with silencers, only on rare occasions when I have a gun with a lot of recoil.
Now the whole lobby is dead silence 😂. No other perks are used, no variety. Heck, I don’t wear my headset anymore 😂. Whoever suggested this perk is now looking dumb. Super dumb.
Agreed, I think the best possible fix at this point would be to reduce the default footstep audio to near-zero. This would be the easiest way to balance out the boot category and put everyone on an even playing field.
@@FavstaRGaming good idea. How about counters! High alert is countered by cold blooded, the covert sneakers should be countered by the head conductor i.e. the head conductor should make the footstep a tat audible.
im level 47 and got the sneakers but they are still not quite. they are just as loud as before i got them. there is no way to put them on so i guess they come on right when you unlock it
Ridiculously unbalanced; no counter, doesn't even need to be earned anymore via Field Upgrades. Ghost, Covert Sneakers and that's all that's needed, other perks are not as powerful. They should always keep reduced footsteps perks as they were when it was called Ninja; *quieter footsteps* not silent. Completely silent should always be earned.
This and tracker needs a balance change. There needs to be a perk/equipment that counters being able to see your footsteps.. and bone conduction headsets needs to be able to hear covert sneaker players. Or at least make yhe equipment sounds more audiable.
@@FavstaRGaming Tons of them running marathon and running shoes. sure if you are a search and destroy only main covert is the way to go. But plenty of modes dont need covert. And all the streamers who are bragging about their nukes on shipment definitely weren't using covert. Having said that, I use covert sheos on almost all my glasses but I actually need to use it to get the jump on people because I am trash.
Ghost disables when you stop moving, covert sneakers may have a bug but it hard to tell i had a similar issue, and i dont know about bone i dont use it
Why would you want to rely on audio rather than map awareness and skill? Best thing they have done in years is bring these sneakers in. Years ago DS was always a perk. It’s only the recent games that it hasn’t been and people rely on camping and listening which is sickening. S&D is back to its full glory at the pinnacle of call of duty at last.
There's a difference between relying on sound, and unrealistically eliminating it altogether. At no point would u ever hear ZERO footsteps, shits stupid af. It's a problem in general, not just camping...it takes away all situational awareness to the point that if ur not looking right at a player then someone can just tac sprint right into ur asshole. In every lobby, its 90% of players using it...essentially turning the game into a mindless arcade shooter. Imagine playing this game and hearing zero gunshot noise, like cant even hear a gunshot 2 feet from u, or better yet, let's just put the game on mute, woupd that be enjoyable? Hows ur situational awareness then? Would u still say "WeLl WhY wOuLd U wAnT tO rElY oN sOuNd"? Only people happy about this r trash players who cant check corners, cant read the map, cant adapt to situations, and cant outshoot camp spots. Cheap gimmicks needed for an advantage, which is the theme for gamers today...constantly need a handicap to make up for the skill gap. People saying "aggressive players can play aggressive" r the ones who don't want to admit how garbage they r. Just look at the reddit threads on it. "I unlocked covert sneakers and changed my game entirely"...yeah, no shit it did 🙄. If u cant learn how to play aggressive with footsteps noises, then ur not aggressive, ur just a simpleton running around like an idiot that cant outshoot other players. Literally all this game is right now...just lobbies full of morons full sprinting like meth addicts because before the perk unlock they were averaging 7k-18d every match.
@@juanpalacio7068maybe you should peek the corner if no one’s their then go foward or turn around because someone may be behind you gotta stay on your toes if you can’t hear use your eyes
@@iKeisu Yeah...ur not understanding what I'm saying. Let's put it this way...I was an aggressive player in MW2019, with at least a 2.0 K/D in every match I played. Footsteps weren't a problem because I was AWARE of the noise I made when I tac sprinted or ran in general. I didn't spend the entire match running around like a moron, constantly sliding and swapping weapons like these garbage ass sweats try hard, then get shot in the face and cry about people soundwhoring. Checking corners, checking my back isn't the issue here. Gameplay gimmicks needed by the community to get some kills speaks volumes on the community itself. Audio is part of shooter games. Footstep audio has been a basic standard in pretty kuch ANY shooter game for quite a few years now. The need to remove it to play better because someone is literally that dense and shit at a game? Is pretty fucking sad.
The amplifier perk or bone conducting headset should hear covert sneakers should counter it still audible But not by a lot then it ruins the purpose of boots perk
I think people are just spoiled from MW1 and 2. Camping and even just playing very carefully is way to strong in cod and takes no skills. My goodness you give a rusher a little help and people want it changed? LOL Looks like campers gonna have to look both ways instead of pre aiming on direction...smh Covert sneakers don't even do anything in almost half the maps.
@@FavstaRGaming no I was using covert sneakers 100% then my gun kept disappearing. I found a fix I just deleted all my classes and reset them up ,now covert sneakers work fine and my gun appears . I was definitely using covert sneakers I see running ones too but deffo had covert sneakers equipped

I think it could be nerfed a little bit, but I'd say buffing the other options would be a better idea. Stalker boots for example are super weak and if they got a substantial increase to the strafe speed I'd for sure say it's a viable competitor.
I use them and they need a nerf.
How do you equip the covert sneakers???
These are wonderful boots that allow you to understand the feelings of deaf people.
Please leave my camo converses alone i love them😭
Lol
Is it much different than dead silence? I dont use headphone to listen to foot steps so I think it balances it out for me
Also I dont play with silencers, only on rare occasions when I have a gun with a lot of recoil.
Too good so you are nerfing yourself? What a chad
No nerf,they rewarding aggressive players and canceling the campers 💰
Agreed
The Bone Conducting Headset and Covert Sneakers should just cancel each other out
So would it be useless if we also equip dead silence?
We'll not exactly, Dead silence also provides Ghost this year
Yea the bone conduction perk needs a buff for the covert boots
Is It automatically equipped ? Cant find in the menu to equip
Does this perk work in warzone or only multi-player
Is convert sneakers on warzone ?
How do I equip the boots I have them unlocked but can’t find them
In the Boots Category of Custom Loadouts
Now the whole lobby is dead silence 😂. No other perks are used, no variety. Heck, I don’t wear my headset anymore 😂. Whoever suggested this perk is now looking dumb. Super dumb.
Agreed, I think the best possible fix at this point would be to reduce the default footstep audio to near-zero. This would be the easiest way to balance out the boot category and put everyone on an even playing field.
@@FavstaRGaming good idea. How about counters! High alert is countered by cold blooded, the covert sneakers should be countered by the head conductor i.e. the head conductor should make the footstep a tat audible.
Don’t u nerf this cuz play the game and rush
you can still hear people uzing covert sneakers. you can hear them the entire time. you dont hear foot steps but u hear all their gear moving around
im level 47 and got the sneakers but they are still not quite. they are just as loud as before i got them. there is no way to put them on so i guess they come on right when you unlock it
It doesn't need to be nerfed, bone conduction needs to be buffed lol
Ridiculously unbalanced; no counter, doesn't even need to be earned anymore via Field Upgrades.
Ghost, Covert Sneakers and that's all that's needed, other perks are not as powerful.
They should always keep reduced footsteps perks as they were when it was called Ninja; *quieter footsteps* not silent. Completely silent should always be earned.
This and tracker needs a balance change. There needs to be a perk/equipment that counters being able to see your footsteps.. and bone conduction headsets needs to be able to hear covert sneaker players. Or at least make yhe equipment sounds more audiable.
I love these videos do one for ghost
Dude I have no money to be putting on that but I did unlock the damn thing
I unlocked them but I don’t see them in my perks
All the top players don't use the covert sneakers usually so i think its fine.
Not sure who you've been watching but literally every top player uses the covert sneakers.
@@FavstaRGaming Tons of them running marathon and running shoes. sure if you are a search and destroy only main covert is the way to go. But plenty of modes dont need covert.
And all the streamers who are bragging about their nukes on shipment definitely weren't using covert.
Having said that, I use covert sheos on almost all my glasses but I actually need to use it to get the jump on people because I am trash.
Nah, no nerfs. Just big the other boots to actually be good.
Buffs>>>nerfs
Yet I meet some players prefiring me at all times when I use ghost + covert sneakers + bone conducting. Seems legit XD
Ghost disables when you stop moving, covert sneakers may have a bug but it hard to tell i had a similar issue, and i dont know about bone i dont use it
Simple counter : High Alert!
Yup, unfortunately it's not a counter... yet.
please show us smoke airdrop
no one put a video about it right now
thanks
Wow great video…THATS WAY TOO QUIET
I agree
Why would you want to rely on audio rather than map awareness and skill? Best thing they have done in years is bring these sneakers in. Years ago DS was always a perk. It’s only the recent games that it hasn’t been and people rely on camping and listening which is sickening. S&D is back to its full glory at the pinnacle of call of duty at last.
There's a difference between relying on sound, and unrealistically eliminating it altogether. At no point would u ever hear ZERO footsteps, shits stupid af. It's a problem in general, not just camping...it takes away all situational awareness to the point that if ur not looking right at a player then someone can just tac sprint right into ur asshole. In every lobby, its 90% of players using it...essentially turning the game into a mindless arcade shooter. Imagine playing this game and hearing zero gunshot noise, like cant even hear a gunshot 2 feet from u, or better yet, let's just put the game on mute, woupd that be enjoyable? Hows ur situational awareness then? Would u still say "WeLl WhY wOuLd U wAnT tO rElY oN sOuNd"?
Only people happy about this r trash players who cant check corners, cant read the map, cant adapt to situations, and cant outshoot camp spots. Cheap gimmicks needed for an advantage, which is the theme for gamers today...constantly need a handicap to make up for the skill gap. People saying "aggressive players can play aggressive" r the ones who don't want to admit how garbage they r. Just look at the reddit threads on it. "I unlocked covert sneakers and changed my game entirely"...yeah, no shit it did 🙄. If u cant learn how to play aggressive with footsteps noises, then ur not aggressive, ur just a simpleton running around like an idiot that cant outshoot other players.
Literally all this game is right now...just lobbies full of morons full sprinting like meth addicts because before the perk unlock they were averaging 7k-18d every match.
@@juanpalacio7068 can tell you started playing cod in 2019 lol you’re embarrassing.
You’re definitely a noob.
@@juanpalacio7068maybe you should peek the corner if no one’s their then go foward or turn around because someone may be behind you gotta stay on your toes if you can’t hear use your eyes
@@iKeisu Yeah...ur not understanding what I'm saying. Let's put it this way...I was an aggressive player in MW2019, with at least a 2.0 K/D in every match I played. Footsteps weren't a problem because I was AWARE of the noise I made when I tac sprinted or ran in general. I didn't spend the entire match running around like a moron, constantly sliding and swapping weapons like these garbage ass sweats try hard, then get shot in the face and cry about people soundwhoring.
Checking corners, checking my back isn't the issue here. Gameplay gimmicks needed by the community to get some kills speaks volumes on the community itself. Audio is part of shooter games. Footstep audio has been a basic standard in pretty kuch ANY shooter game for quite a few years now. The need to remove it to play better because someone is literally that dense and shit at a game? Is pretty fucking sad.
Also i dont know if im tripping but with these sneakers your operator doesnt make any call outs or speaks at all
Your trippin lol, the character still makes 'enemy spotted' callouts but the player stays quiet during reloads regardless of the sneakers
Thanks for the breakdown bro, great content
As of the video itself surely needed a nerf there.
Glad you enjoyed!
I agreed, if they make it like Cold War 5:00
Covert crutch. Horrible game balance. Going back to mw2 til they can fix it.
I unlocked it but can’t find them in war zone
Warzone doesn't have them, you'll need to use Dead Silence Field Upgrade
The amplifier perk or bone conducting headset should hear covert sneakers should counter it still audible But not by a lot then it ruins the purpose of boots perk
I think people are just spoiled from MW1 and 2. Camping and even just playing very carefully is way to strong in cod and takes no skills. My goodness you give a rusher a little help and people want it changed? LOL Looks like campers gonna have to look both ways instead of pre aiming on direction...smh Covert sneakers don't even do anything in almost half the maps.
I’m using them but still sound like a horse galloping why?
Because your using the Running Sneakers, you need the Covert Sneakers
@@FavstaRGaming no I was using covert sneakers 100% then my gun kept disappearing.
I found a fix I just deleted all my classes and reset them up ,now covert sneakers work fine and my gun appears .
I was definitely using covert sneakers I see running ones too but deffo had covert sneakers equipped
Covert sneakers are dumb then. Hopefully they change it to og dead silence. Bone conductor gave me a headache.
