Hi. Does the firing audio shown in the trailer video? Because from what I was hearing and pretty much everyone else I’ve seen on twitter think it’s just sound like default phantom.
It’s hard to hear in the trailer because of all the music. Check it out once it’s in game and lmk if you can tell.
Honestly I’ve been waiting a whole year. I love the evolving gun idea as you frag and rewarding the top fragger with something extra special too.
Can’t wait to hear the sfx when you kill as that’s honestly the Vandals best part. The sound on frag. Thanks for your efforts riot! Day 1 buy for sure
There is a new kill sound and new firing audio!
Prime
idk it sounds like the default phantom firing sound to me in the trailer. but i guess there will be a custom kill sound again.
It's hard to hear over the music. There's a custom kill sound and custom firing sounds whenever you fire the gun.
It has sound effects even when you shoot it?
yes, firing effects are included!
Hi there. You guys are doing a fantastic job with the game and community interactions. Glad to see how it's going :)
Just 1 small request. Focus a lil bit on vandal skins also. My beautiful vandy crying in corner with back to back phantom skins :'(
Vandal is my favorite, so I hear you!
Does the phantom also have no sound effects?
There are sound effects :)
or atleast make the model look very different. there’s been 3 butterfly knives now that all look exactly the same.
It's a new model. There's a few things going on with this butterfly knife, so check it out when we reveal more and lmk what you think!
Looks pretty sick; especially for just being a reskin and not added effects/changes. Plus it’s a reward for getting kills but not necessarily top fragging - so it allows more defensive and/or newer players to still get something cool and rewarding from getting kills just not being the best.
And for the top fraggers - they get a unique inspect if they’re above 25 on top of that.
Very interesting set!
There's a lot unpacked in this skin and you guessed some of it! Can't wait to see what you think when it's live!
I love it! Nice work! :D
You can remove the "Episode 5" part of the skin name. That's an error we're actually going to fix in the next patch. It's just "Reaver."
Am I f**king crazy or does the Phantom sound like BlastX?
Someone else made this comment. Did you listen to it with headphones?
Read moreAt first I felt a bit off. But I watched the showcase way too many times - I’ve been really keen for this bundle - and at this point, I love it. I’m especially liking the Phantom firing sounds, which is definitely the gun I was most keen for, but the other guns (especially Odin) hit hard as well. The Phantom has this unique sound that almost feels like it doesn’t belong as a gunshot, but for some reason it works so ridiculously well
I think I do see what people mean when they compare the audio (and the skins in general) to Ruination, but the similarity isn’t strong enough to bother me. I can understand the difficulty the team went through to make these skins have that same ‘impact’ we felt in the first Reaver set, and to make them different enough from other skin lines. I’ll definitely enjoy swapping between Reaver and Ruination skins, especially playing those edgy characters that fit the aesthetic (like Fade and Omen)
Overall, very happy with the work you guys put ...
You said everything I was thinking. We wrote an article about this if you wanna hear more about our development for Reaver

I now have regrets for what I post on Reddit
I just noticed your Reddit name 😂
The phantom sound is reused from the nerf skin. Lame.
It’s not! It’s unique and not like BlastX. Someone above mentioned not using headphones when listening, so that may be the issue. Listen to it in-game and let me know what you think!
Ngl I’m kinda underwhelmed by the phantom, I’ll listen to this later with headphones to see how it sounds cuz the reaver vandal sound effect is one of my favorites in the game. Was kinda hoping for something similar to how ruination sounds but it doesn’t sound similar to that, just sounds like a lower pitched phantom….
Knife looks sick as f**k tho, if not the phantom I’m prolly getting that knife. I’d get the Odin too, but I never use Odin so it would feel like a waste lmao
Edit: nvm phantom sounds sick asf after listening w headphones, prolly gonna cop
Oh yeah thanks for listening to it with headphones. Def sounds better that way and in-game! Hope you enjoy it. The team worked really hard on this and put in a lot of love.
The audio is the best part about any reaver skin
Listen to the varying equip sounds (spam equip) and lmk what you think
Exciting! Hope they’ve done a good job, given the suppressed weapon lineup and all. Could be a great bundle
Lmk what you think. The team worked super hard on the audio for these guns, especially the firing audio.
The thing is the reaver honestly doesn't have much sound aside from some echo and the iconic ping on kill. The problem here is the phantom just having really shit base sounds imo.
Also I think Ruination Phantom is more reaver than this one
Reaver guns also have multiple varying equip sounds as you spam equip. If you see it in-game lmk what you think.
Does anyone else think that the Phantom sound isn't that satisfying? I love the knife and the odin but I personally don't think the phantom sounds very Reaver-y.
Take a listen in-game and let me know what you think. We worked really hard to get the audio right for Reaver and the videos may make it hard to tell. We used Ruination Phantom as a comparison for how far to push it and applied the same thinking to Reaver. As a fan of Reaver, I think we did a great job with all 3 silenced guns, especially the Phantom.
Fall damage jumping out of heaven on Haven :(
