External link →Plot twist: Facepunch put these new sounds in place to f**k with us and plan for better new gun sounds to be added with the new update.
The "new" ones that are in right now are old spares from when we were exploring modular weapons, not the actual new ones I'm working on :)
Will modular weapons be revisited in the future? (maybe as an addition instead of a replacement to the baseline arsenal)? And why were the sounds changed in the first place? The old sounds are iconic.
I’m not really sure about us revisiting modular weapons, but most of the gunshot sounds are 6 years old and I’ve learned a lot as a sound designer since I made them. Many of them are too harsh, lacking punch and definition, and are less cohesive as a whole than I’d like. I’m also designing the different layers of the new sounds in a way that opens the door for some more interesting and dynamic playback systems.
Basically the current gunshots are old and mids and I think we can do better now :)
