Puppet Hearing

[Primordial Geist]

First off I want to say that I purchased SCUM back in September 2018, played a couple of hours and then uninstalled it because the optimization was not good at all. I re-installed it yesterday and now I'm 10hrs into it. I must say that the game has improved quite a bit and I will be purchasing the Supporter Pack soon :)

Now my question is: How good is Puppet hearing? If its raining with thunder can they still hear my footsteps? Also, are they able to hear my voice through the Mic? It would be pretty cool to be able to call them over to you, or use sounds as a distraction (right now I just use arrows to distract & dispatch).

I love the current Puppet designs btw. Quite scary at times haha

They aren't attracted to whistling (tab action), or car horns. I don't know about the mic. They do hear footsteps and looting sounds but not sure how far away, or whether rain affects it. Of course they can hear gunshots for miles, and grenades. For distractions you can throw things. I'll pick up a few rocks and use them to lure puppets away from where I want to go.

Interesting.
Hopefully this changes in a future update. Still a great game so far.
