We spent six months preparing for five intense days of on-site gun sound recording at a certified shooting range in Thailand. Using 40 microphones and 8 recorders, we captured the sounds of 25 different weapon models, resulting in over 12,000 samples and 170GB of data. Each sound was meticulously crafted to reflect the unique characteristics of each weapon and enhance the game’s atmosphere.
The approach to sound design is rooted in three principles: realism, impact, and variety. Every shot isn’t just heard but felt, helping players make strategic decisions in the heat of battle. From the echo of a sniper rifle to the clicks of reloading, every detail was perfected for maximum immersion.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. May the farlight be with you!
