A group of friends have started to play the game recently and I made this small list for them, and then I realized maybe it could help other people that are new to the game as well, so I decided to post it here.
Note: Most of these sounds are picked up from the sound hearing distance, which is that circle that forms around your minimap pointer when you run/jump.
| ENEMY CAN HEAR YOU | ENEMY CAN NOT HEAR YOU |
|---|---|
| Firing weapons | - |
| Planting / Defusing Spike (*1) | - |
| Running (NO SHIFT) | Walking (+SHIFT) |
| Climbing / Sliding Rope (NO SHIFT) | Climbing / Sliding Rope (+SHIFT) |
| Jumping / Landing | Jumping to a higher plane (+SHIFT) |
| Reloading Weapon | Scoping in with your Weapon (*2) |
| Droping Weapon/Spike (*3) | Picking up Weapon/Spike |
| Using Abilities (*4) | Swaping between Weapons/Abilities (*5) |
| Picking up Ultimate Orbs | - |
| Using your Spray | Using team comms (in-game team calls) |
| Swinging your Knife | - |
- (*1) Sound happens at the START of plant/defuse. Planting/defusing progress is silent. Also there is a different sound on a slightly higher pitch when spike is half-way defused and they start defusing again.
- (*2) Some weapons don't have scoping function and some have "alternate fire" on right click instead (Classic & Bucky).
- (*3) If you have a weapon equipped and you pick one from the ground, you will drop your current one. Also you can drop weapons or spike silently to a teammate if you're close enough and it doesn't hit the ground.
- (*4) Some abilities leave a remanent sound over time, like Sage's heal, Phoenix's fire or Jett floating. Some are also heard while placing them like Killjoy's nanobots. Also Ultimates emit a global "catch phrase" that let's your enemies know who used it.
- (*5) This is also know as "pulling out" a weapon or ability.
And here are some agent specific interactions:
| AGENT SPECIFICS SOUNDS | Can enemy hear it? |
|---|---|
| Viper picking up her poison cloud | NO |
| Cypher camera activation / deaactivation | YES |
| Cypher picking up any of this abilities | YES |
I hope this helps anyone.
EDIT: Thank you everyone for your feeedback, reports and suggestions. ♥
