Is there no custom audio for kills?
Yes, there is. Forgot to mention it. We call that the kill banner, which is the custom icon and sound when you get a kill.

I misunderstood it as well, ı am an oppurtinist tbh so ı Just sent my id, ı tried to say fist bump over comments lol
I sent it to you anyway ;)
Congrats on finding this obscure Easter egg!
Cockatiel#birb (yes ı have a cockatiel how did you knew?) 🤜
lol I thought I you meant fist bumping over comments, not me actually sending you a fist bump buddy
Woah! Looks great!
Virtual fistbump then? 🤜
Deal
eh atleast it took longer to find than the omen ghost octopus thing, that was within a day lol
i said the same thing!
İs there anything to still find lol, i was pretty luck finding this tho
that's it for now
The octopus on Omens ghost changes the buddy as well.
you mean the octopus on the octopus ghost?
I just specifically remembered that one comment and it was in the first thread my reddit search showed haha, fair enough though
Yea I really didn't mean to get in your hair here. I really like everything else about the skins, just nitpicking the one thing I wish was a little different. You guys obviously did your testing. I appreciate the answers. Cheers.
No worries at all! I love talking to you all about this stuff, so I appreciate the questions. We're so used to seeing the same stuff over and over, so it's hard for us to tell what feels different or unique to players. So good to hear a fresh perspective. We do lots of surveys and tests, but talking on reddit one-on-one to a player is more fun and more casual.
Thats what I thought aswell when it released, this comment by you might have made me start imagining things. Maybe I misunderstood you there.
Turning the firing audio up a notch is tricky because when we do it too much, we risk causing confusion for people who aren’t sure what gun they picked off the ground.
I appreciate that but I figured that kind of went out the window when stuff like Prime, Reaver, Ion, Origin, etc. released.
balance of having custom audio but not upsetting players who don’t want skins interfering with their gameplay
Again, totally get this but I personally wouldn't have seen anything wrong with it after looking at whats already in the game (and the rest of the bundle). Does this mean that future skins' audio will be dialed back compared to past releases?
Woah! I love how invested you are in this stuff that you've been commenting on skins for so long! Thank you for being so into it! So that comment was about the other audio actions (like reload/equip). We wanted to see if players wanted custom firing at all back then, since Prime/Sovereign/Elderflame all had custom firing audio.
To your second comment, you'd think that, right? :D But actually those skins were tested so there's still elements there that draw it back to the base skin in terms of recognizability. Audio is something we're still testing a lot to see how far we can push it without interfering with gameplay.
And I think we're at a point where we'll keep experimenting to see what works. I personally thought the Phantom audio was very distinct. Maybe it's harder to tell in videos vs. actually using the skin, but the firing audio is incredibly unique and really satisfying to shoot with. The equip/reload/inspect audio is of course awesome, too.
Odds of you guys turning up the 'ghostly' sound on the phantom a notch? The sound effects on the 3 other guns are great but its hard to tell that its actually there for the phantom, seems like quite a few other people have voiced that in the comments aswell
Same with the Oni, really
Oni doesn’t actually have custom firing audio at all! What you’re hearing is probably the kill sound (kill banner), which all skins with the custom kill icon have (including Ruination). Ruination had both custom firing audio and the custom kill banner icon and sound.
Turning the firing audio up a notch is tricky because when we do it too much, we risk causing confusion for people who aren’t sure what gun they picked off the ground. We always include some of the base firing sound because of competitive integrity. We’ve also seen players be really sensitive to custom audio when we push it further, like we did with the Origin Vandal.
Our audio designer spent a lot of time here trying to strike a balance between custom audio and also still making sure the base sounds are present. This skin went through a lot of feedback but it was too unrecognizable at times, so we had to dial it back. I’m hoping we struck a good balance of having custom audio but not upsetting player...
Read moreIs the phantom gonna have default sounds? I expected it to have ghostly sounds so the 2175 is worth it
It has custom audio for the equip, reload, inspect, and firing. The audio for the Phantom is specifically based on Viego from League of Legends.
there is audio but certainly not “unique” sounds just like the forsaken bundle :/
What do you mean? Unique here means we added custom audio to the skin, the same as we do for any skin. For firing/shooting, we always include the base audio as part of the audio for competitive integrity (you should always be able to tell what gun you’re firing, regardless of the skin). Reaver, Prime, Forsaken, Ruination, etc. are all the same - we used the base gun’s audio and customized it so it has unique firing audio.
Do you by any chance know what SFX was used from Ruined Karma? My friends and I could all figure out/assume the others, but even our resident Karma main was stumped on what the SFX was used for.
I will ask!
Does the Sage Free classic pistol have the same color as the base color of ruination sword?
The Ruination skins have a color called "necroteal."
On the finisher it has the Jhin blossom sound! I’d bet on it lol
I asked! Sadly, I was told that the Oni finisher doesn’t use Jhin's sounds. but it's the same instrumentation which is why it sounds similar!
I loved the attention to detail you guys put with the audio, the ghost sounds like gwen Q and the phantom with Viego E. Definitely a masterpiece Kudos!
That was all our audio designer. He's amazing!
Oh snap! A reply from Riot! I really liked Shyvana and the Guardian. The sound and power of the shot was so satisfying. Gwyn and the ghost was also really nice with its more subdued shot.
Though I do love Shyvana, I'm a personal fan of the Phantom w/ the Viego sfx.
Never watched this sort of spotlight before (except for Origin) and I really love that they talk about the details of the skin line. For example the fact that the gun buddy ist viegos wedding ring and that you also have the ring on when you use the knife or from where all the shooting sound effects we're inspired by. Also never watched videos from that influencer and In really liked his engagement with the developers in that video which prompted me to subscribe to him. All in all, at least for me, it was worth watching, worth for the yter since he got at least 1 new viewer and worth for the developer because I will definitely buy the Phantom skin.
I agree that missing the kill sound/ace sound feels bad but that's alright since I can just search for that specific detail when the skin ist out.
Hitscan is a really fun influencer channel to work with. I love that you subscribed to them!
Valorant player here, it looks really amazing, cool and scary at the same time !!! Wish It had the vandal too alongside the phantom, would have definitely purchased the whole bundle then !!!
Glad you like it!
