Blackout
Audio
We’ve made the changes below with the goal of creating more predictability around when a player can hear another player’s footsteps, as well as a pass on unrelated game audio that could significantly impact footsteps. We intend to perform additional tuning on unrelated gameplay audio that egregiously impacts the player’s ability to hear other players moving in the world. Details include:
- Occlusion
- When players don’t have line of sight to another player, some of the sounds those players make are occluded using an audio filter. This filter subtracts some of the lower frequencies (AKA “bass”) to help to create a distinction between players who are in very close proximity to other players, but not necessarily in the same structure.
- Changed occlusion levels to prevent situations that could make footsteps nearly inaudible.
- Refactored occlusion code to properly occlude specific materials and buildings that were missing occlusion.
- Terrain now occludes properly.
- Fixed issues with garage doors that kept them from occluding properly when opening and closing them.
- When players don’t have line of sight to another player, some of the sounds those players make are occluded using an audio filter. This filter subtracts some of the lower frequencies (AKA “bass”) to help to create a distinction between players who are in very close proximity to other players, but not necessarily in the same structure.
- Distances
- Rebalanced the distances at which players can hear first hear someone approaching.
- Unified distances related to certain movement types – for example, sliding should now be heard about the same distance as other player movement sounds.
- Gameplay Modifiers
- Awareness and Dead Silence Perks have been changed accordingly with the new distance settings for footstep audio.
- Directionality
- Lowered the reverb on third-person footsteps, which helps with the player’s understanding of the overall location those footsteps are coming from. This is especially true when wearing headphones/playing in stereo and not in 5.1.
- First and Third Person
- Further lowered the first-person footstep volume that players hear themselves make.
- Further lowered volume of teammates’ footsteps.
- Decreased first-person weapon audio slightly to balance with third-person weapons heard by others.
- Addressed an issue with first-person splash audio where jumping into water sounded louder than it should.
- Environment
- Lowered volume on the main ambient blend track (the overall sound made by the environment that players always hear, varying by map location and elevation), allowing subtler gameplay cues to be more audible more often, including footsteps.
- Reduced volume and distance that garage doors can be heard from.
- Modified the volume and distances that opening Stashes can be heard from.
Armor Redesign
Armor has been completely overhauled in Blackout. Our goals for these changes are to allow Armor to survive multiple engagements, and to reward players for taking out an enemy and destroying the enemy’s Armor in the process. While coming out of an engagement on the winning side feels good, it doesn’t feel good to have your Armor destroyed with each engagement you find yourself in. As such, players can find and use Armor Plates to repair damaged Armor, which are applied from your Inventory on all platforms, and from both the Inventory or the Quick Equip menu on consoles.
It takes approximately two seconds to use an Armor Plate to repair a segment of damaged Armor. One Armor Plate will repair a single Armor pip, regardless of Armor level. We will closely monitor the amount of available Armor Plates in the world and make adjustments quickly as needed. Details include:
- Armor Plate Locations
- In enemy Death Stashes after destroying the Armor of an opponent.
- In Equipment Stashes.
- More rarely, on the ground as a lootable item.
- Durability
- Armor durability has been increased, allowing Armor to last longer through an engagement.
- Armor durability indicators have been updated to display individual pips of Armor.
- Damage Mitigation
- The percentage of damage that Armor mitigates has not been changed. As we monitor how these changes to Armor affect gameplay in Blackout, we will continue to evaluate damage mitigation values.
