Audio Adjustments
Thank you all for your feedback regarding the sound overhaul rolled out in the previous hotfix (1.08.2). We’ve reviewed your feedback and have made the following adjustments to the audio in Rising Storm 2: Vietnam:
- Remixed all third person weapon sounds to improve their quality and bring them in line with those heard when firing weapons in first person. The weapon sounds heard in 1.08.2 were designed for use in first person, and did not hold up when heard in third person
- Increased the volume of third person weapon sounds for every weapon
- Adjusted AK-47 firing sounds to address issues raised by the community with the weapon when firing the weapon in single fire
- Adjusted the M79 40mm buckshot round to bring it in line with the rest of the firing sounds in the game
- Adjusted the BAR slow-fire sound effects to make them more consistent with the fast-fire sound sounds
