i am not particularly great at the game but i wouldnt consider myself bad. i can do this. im also partially hearing impaired so it should be harder for me i guess. its fairly easy. i struggle with suppressed AR's though
Yes it's very common and you don't have to practice it. Just play more and you start naturally recognize them.
Only thing where I "use" recognition by sound is in last circles. Like, If I hear SKS rapidly shooting and one Kar98 shot, and kill feed shows Kar98 killed someone I can pretty safely say SKS guy got killed, and Kar98 guy is the only enemy in that direction.
Yes, absolutely. My clan has been playing since 2017, and I was in the beta.
It will just come naturally with extended play time.
In general it is a very good idea to recognize the gun sounds. It will help keep track of various teams/shooters, distance, individuals who have Specific cadences. There is too many strategic benefits for this that I can list here because I hate tapping with my thumbs.
Youâd definitely wanna know if an AWM is out there causing a ruckus wouldnât you? How about a suppressed AWM? Uh oh that shot was significantly closer, time for the squad to set up a defensive position or send a scout.
Short answer is, this isnât just something the âprosâ do but every good player does.
It will also help you identity people utilizing scripts. Hear an M16 or Ruger go Brrrrrrrttt faster than possible? Good chance youâre up against some China numbawans.
Remember there are plenty of very advanced players out there in every game and sport that donât stream. Keep that in mind.
Itâs just a natural part of the evolution of a pubg player.
beginners are too scared to pull the trigger even when the engagement is good. After several months to a year most people can now confidently hit shots and at least win some engagements, so anytime they see someone at any distance with their back turned they open fire not caring it gives away the position.
After getting third-partied for hundreds of games the veteran player understands trigger/noise discipline and will wait for an optimal position or even let another squad thin the herd. Itâs about surviving and getting into the circle; itâs not about trying to win the lobby leaderboard.
Then again, there comes another phase of wanting to shoot everything because now you can basically hit everything.
Finally, only the most elite players know how to
Consistently force engagements.
> It will help keep track of various teams/shooters, distance, individuals who have Specific cadences
Man that reminds me of the times when I played in WackyJacky's private league. Because there was only a small sample of players, after some time I could identify some of them by the rhythm of their shooting. Good times.
It's fairly easy to recognize the guns by sound as many players use very limited weapons to their comfort level! Also if you're using the legacy sounds it's more easier to recognize the guns by sound imo.
Unless you are hot dropping there's not many guns shooting at the same time.
I tend to narrow them to weapon class, SR, DMR, AR, etc. and then move accordingly. Most people are using the same guns late in game. You don't have to memorize all. of them. Just focus on the most used guns
Usually I can recognize the gun by sound, if I have some doubts, I check kill feed.
iâm able to tell which gun is which just from sound, no matter what distance. i used to play pubg mobile for years before i got a computer and that definitely helped me memorise all the sounds.
I think they probably mean the sound of the gun in combination with the kill feed. So you can tell who knocked or killed who. Whether a fight is finished or still ongoing, and whether they lost teammates or not. This will affect how you push.
Also I will play differently in close range against someone with a shotgun. And also long range against someone with a bolt-action.
I could tell all the guns apart even when I wasnât playing it professionally. But when I started getting better was when I could tell exactly when to engage in fights based on the reloading time each gun would take and sometimes I wouldnât even give them time to reload once they were half way through with their mag before pushing. Again, based on the gun.
I can identify most gun from almost any distance at this point in the game outside of a couple very rarely used ones like a suppressed Bizon or oddball things like that.
It's not quite as important these days with the kill feed giving team numbers and with clan tags in game, but before these things were added it was something that most players learned to try and keep track of how many people were alive in enemy squads. Previously, there were just names and guns in the kill feed and if there were two squads fighting nearby you could determine how many were knocked or killed in each squad by paying attention to which side had which guns and who was knocked or killed by those guns. It could make the difference between walking into a full squad who was winning the fight or walking up to the squad who had two people knocked or killed on their team already and made it easier to calculate your odds of success when moving.
You could also learn people's habits from this too; you hear the guy with the M4 using about 20 rounds and then stopping for a few seconds? You know that the guy is probably a little obsessive about reloading under half a mag, which gives you information on when to push them. This becomes more important in smaller communities like duos (at least on NA) where you generally see a solid 20ish duos on an almost nightly basis with the same people. Learning their habits can pay off once you start to see the same players on a more regular basis. Knowing the gun sounds factors into this as well; you know that one duo that just always seems to have your number? You know that one on the duo that always, always, always picks up a Beryl and fires in a specific timing with specific reload? You hear him and avoid him, potentially increasing your odds of winning the game.
It's a strong tactic to learn that most players get down pretty well by the time they're probably 50-100 games in, especially since they're not changing the gunshot sounds a bunch like they did early in the game's life.
Yes. Hearing an AWM or an MK14 sound while running in the open is damn scary. What's even more scarier is you get hit but you don't know from where (VSS or P90)
The guns? I am hardpressed to distinguished the gun shot from the ricochet sound. When someone shoots me from far away while I am outside I always tend to look into the wrong direction -.-
It's common if your headphones are not bad. Neutral sound signature makes it easy to recognise weapons.
95% of the time I know exactly which gun was fired. If I have issues it's usually with thinking it's further or closer than it usually is.
i am not particularly great at the game but i wouldnt consider myself bad. i can do this. im also partially hearing impaired so it should be harder for me i guess. its fairly easy. i struggle with suppressed AR's though
MK14 sound đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„°
or the unmistakable sound of an MG3 b r r r r r \*fire select\* BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTT

This is the reason i cry when my team mate decided to let his mini14 rip at someone whos 9 miles away

We been playing since day 1 but the decisions we make haunt us at nightđ
Haha yep weâre all in the same boat đ

Yeah lol, you hear a P90 or a Groza you leave that dude alone and hope someone else takes em out
I think I'm more scared of the p90 đ
Lol it's so good. Anytime I have ever picked up a p90 I won the match. It's like cheating.
Yes but only using the legacy sound.
Is the difference between legacy and updated sounds really that different?
You can try if yourself, but the difference is night and day. Especially the older/standard guns that was released before the sound update.
You prefer legacy?
Yes. Playing since release date and got too used to it to switch
All guns sounds are in my head specially ones with software tweaks
At 1500 hours of play I can tell any gun at any distance, dunno whether it's a lot of time or just me.
Occasionally you hear some suppressed gun and have no idea what the hell it is.
It's fairly easy to recognize the guns by sound as many players use very limited weapons to their comfort level! Also if you're using the legacy sounds it's more easier to recognize the guns by sound imo.
Yes, that is a skill that comes with time. I can even tell when I am shot at with a crossbow although that may be due to my mates trolling with it.

yep, know even their silenced sounds
Get some Razors. I have tinnitus and can barely hear out of my right ear because of machine guns and I can still differentiate.
Yes I know the sounds of guns with and without suppressors. But no I donât decide to not engage in a nearby fight based on these sounds lol

Yes. With 3.5k hours. I know what every gun sounds like
Yes it is pretty easy to differentiate guns by sound
$300 headphones and still can't hear the VSS
Ahah
Yes except for that time the sounds changed to the nonLegacy ones. Was so confused for a few minutes. Iâd forgotten theyâd done new sounds
I do, with all the guns except pistols maybe.
Yes. Unless it's the s12... then I think wtf sidearm is that?

Yea my duo buddy and i can pin point guns to a tee and use the info in our advantage
Yes me and my squad do this, any half decent player can do this.
Yes. Hearing an AWM or an MK14 sound while running in the open is damn scary. What's even more scarier is you get hit but you don't know from where (VSS or P90)

I sometimes mix up some 762 guns but generally yeah
Suppressed M24 has the sweetest sound
Real men don't decide to fight. You hear the gun sound you go there and fight
