With that being said, we do feel that these updates raise the bar of quality, and we're keen to get them to Dev-Branch! PLANSįrom a technical point of view, there are two things to mention. There is some time budgeted for further updates and tweaks over the next few weeks. We don't consider them all to be 100% final and recognise that there is still some room for improvement. These upgrades samples are only the first public iteration. These are the action and reloading sounds volumes, the 'metallic' feeling, frequencies - all of these elements play a big role in the final engine mixdown. The following weapons have been updated on Dev-Branch:Īside from the shot samples themselves, several other effects were updated to work better together within the specific weapon. You can already try out the results of this work on Dev-Branch! Below, you can hear quick offline preview of the work, with the existing and new state of the Mk20 being fired from the shooter's position These new samples are currently based on clean shot sounds, so it will provide a better feeling, like you are using the very same same weapon with a suppressor attached. New samples are currently prepared per caliber and per type of weapon but, in future, we hope to mix specific samples for each weapon. For Arma 3, we are carefully tweaking samples to provide a more authentic experience, while adding more 'punch' to the audio.Īlso worth mentioning is redesigned sounds for suppressed shooting.

In our series, we try to keep as much of a realistic ratio between silent and loud sounds as feasible. In many games you can hear almost old-school Hollywood SFX in the term of loudness compared to, let's say, footsteps.

Our new sounds are being designed more precisely using our own new recordings together with various 'sound enhancers', e.g. In reality, the frequency range is much wider than we had in most of the previously used samples. One aspect is spectral accuracy (mainly in first person). Let's take a brief look at some of the actions we've taken to achieve these goals.
