High pitch flash bang noise/sound
I am shocked there basically isn’t anyone talking about this but this is such a huge game killer for me.

I’m wondering if anyone knows/uses any remedies to dampen that sound as i am not trying to get tinnitus for a playing a damn video game.

I realize “turn your sound down” is an option but of course, then I have trouble hearing mostly everything else that’s crucial to a game like this!

Try changing the Dynamic Range in the audio settings.

Turning the Dynamic Range to Night Mode will limit how high the game audio will go on the highest volume sound effects in the game. So gun fire, nades and I'm guessing 'flash nades' will not peak as high in volume.

But already softer sounds will not be effected, like footsteps.


Personally, I hate the "simulated ringing of ears" thing too. I think the game audio should just cut off if you are flashed and slowly come back afterward.

But... isn't that the exact point...?

I agree. I swear it gave my friend tinnitus that he still has to this day. I don't like it much either..

The pitch is too high and the flash may be too bright and disorienting in real life. Other games tone their flash bangs down for a reason. So you aren't actually experiencing a real effect while playing the game.

Bunch of idiots run this game though. I just come back for the discussion section to help people.

Then why did you play it 2 days ago? If you're just here for the discussions, why open the game?

You folks are not best :’) thank you for understanding my pain. It’s terrible we even have to talk about this.. it’s a video game not a training excercise.

Love this game and the potential it has but ubisoft and many, many many things about the way this game was made, makes me rage and always leaves me asking “why???”.
