Thanks, myself and the outsource managers on the team worked back and forth on the model to try to polish it up as much as possible during development. Unfortunately, we don't have unlimited time to spend on every asset but we're glad the results came through nicely!

You guys did great :)

Yeah I'm stoked about this battlepass. Gonna bring me much enjoyment grinding it out over the next while, so thanks for that! Already debating which player card I'm gonna use, there's so many great ones.

Same! It’s hard for me to pick a favorite. I’ll prob use the Forsaken card first and then just update the card each time I unlock a new one in the pass.

Sadly the difference is so slight, I was hoping it sound like reaver so high pitched bass.. but the sound wasn't up to the expectations sadly

Posted a reply above, if you wanna check it out. Also, once it’s released if you happen to pick it up off the ground and try it let me know what you think. I feel like videos don’t really convey firing sound the same as when you’re firing it yourself. IMO the “amount” of firing audio on the Reaver Vandal is about the same as Forsaken but I’m just used to playing with Reaver more, tapping with it, spraying, etc.

I listened to both of them side by side and what it feels like is the default sound slightly amplified and recorded in an empty room and a shwing sound when he stops shooting :(

It feels like prime 1.0 really spoiled me, I cant feel satisfied with any other sounds in game

We always try to have the base sound of the gun present in the skin firing audio to keep it recognizable with the base gun. For every person who wants vastly distinct audio (Person A) , there’s another person who wants to know what they’re firing when they hear it (Person B). We err on the side of competitive integrity, so we wouldn’t want Person B to pick up Person A’s skin and feel like it hindered their gameplay.

Regardless, this is good feedback. If we keep hearing stuff like this, we can try to tune firing audio even more. I assume you haven’t tried it in game yet (since only a few influencers have played with it), so if you pick it up off the ground let me know what you think.

I’ve tried it in-game many times and always thought the firing was very unique and watching a video doesn’t quite convey the feeling the same way for me.

What was the decision to include 2 bunny items (spray and buddy) for the BP? My IGN relates to bunnies and I love those items.

One is for bunny hopping, so a more meta game spray.

The other is based on the bunny mural outside of Haven B site.

Really? The custom moving/reload sounds are definitely noticeable, but the gunshots themselves sound practically the same as the default (unlike collections like the Reaver and Prime that have a very noticeably different gunshot sound).

We used the same instruments we used in Sovereign but in a Minor key so it sounds more sorrowful.

It’s just harder to hear in the recording (we recorded the video and audio on our end). It’s there. :)

It has default vandal sound instead of something new like old sovereign had for each gun pretty waste of a skin set for me honestly

It has custom audio, it’s not default.

Not to mention the default gunshot sounds too.

It has custom audio, not default.

I'm not sure I get your point. If he's not picked often but has a high win rate across all MMRs that just means if you main brim and learn his shit you'll be doing more than fine but again we don't have access to that data.

Riot also thinks he's fine.

To clarify, Brim could probably use some help in competitive play, he's just doing pretty well in matchmaking. Right now there are some other agents who could probably use some more help, though (like Yoru). We do talk about Brim, though, especially with Breeze entering the mix (where he's probably going to be weaker than our other controllers due to his lower effective range).
