New Audio for Assault Rifle/Minigun Turret?

[Kowalski]

On survivetheark they mentioned that they updated the sound effects for 'a couple items/weapons'. Did they update the audio for the Assault Rifle or Minigun Turret? I always thought the firing effects for both sounded a bit bland.

Actually, I think the minigun has been using the same 'bang' sound effect that the simple pistol did about a year ago. It sounds more like a sequence of hollow pops than gunshots.

I'll test them out later today to double-check myself.

This thread didn't stand a chance, hehe.

Anyway, I just tested both weapons in singleplayer and both still have their old firing sound effects.

Anyone watch the PS4 Ark launch trailer from Dec 6th? The sound effects for the assault rifle and minigun turret are different from what's on the PC. Maybe the PC was already supposed to get an update for these but the devs forgot.

Here's the PS4 trailer. You can briefly hear the sound effects for the Assault Rifle and Minigun Turret near 1:35 and 1:55:

They probably put those in while editing to make it sound cooler. They've done it a couple times I believe

Darn, those effects sounded better too.

Going back to the minigun, I just realized the auto-turret shares the same firing audio too. That means there were originally 3 weapons using the same sound effects until the simple pistol got updated. Hopefully they'll update more of these weapon sounds in the next patch or two.
