Sound

Gun Handling Sounds Improvement

Improved reload and weapon switching sound effects
Modified reload sounds to be more realistic, through adding audible player interaction with the reload operation.

Sound segmentation related to the mechanical properties weapons during aiming/scoping

In Aiming/Scoping, the degree of trembling sounds related to weapon attachments details varies depending on the type of weapon.
Sounds are divided into two, Handgun and non-handgun, and handgun has less trembling or no attachment detailed sounds compared to non-handguns.

Vaulting Sounds Improvement

Improved detailed expressions on objects such as hand-to-body contact, collar-to-shoulder squeaks, etc. during vaulting
When vaulting, sound outputs correct material sounds (Concrete, Metal, Wood)

Vikendi

Further lowered the volume of wind sound effect in the moonlight

Karakin known issue: Sound in and above bunkers isn’t working as intended in certain situations. Currently, it can be difficult to distinguish the distance of players from your position while underground, or whether they’re above or below ground while in the vicinity of a bunker.

We’re working to resolve this issue and improve logic related to sound in and around bunkers. As this is a complex issue, it will take some time to be resolved and we expect to push the updated sound logic to live servers in the April update.
