Whetstone
Get your old, sharp, gunblades back! This mod replaces the blunt-sounding 1-2-3 combo and 1st-tier AoE sound effects with the old 5.0 sound effects that sound SHARP!!
This is a mod that simply replaces the sound effects for certain gunbreaker skills to their original patch 5.0 sound effects.
The sound effects changed are:
Keen Edge
Brutal Shell
Solid Barrel
Demon Slice
I felt that the basic 1-2-3 combo was really done dirty, and the new SFX were more like a club than a sharp cutting instrument, so I replaced those with the original 5.0 sound effects. I also thought the original 1st-tier AoE skill sounded better, so I replaced that too. The rest of the sound effects sound pretty good to me, or in some cases better than the 5.0 originals, so I left those alone.
I have been using and updating this mod for my personal enjoyment for a long time, I have simply decided that I would share it now in case others might enjoy it. Please understand that I won’t be making other versions of this mod with more or less of the 5.0 sound effects. Once I figured out exactly which sounds I liked, I only backed up those sounds. I have long since lost my original 5.0 data files, so I no longer have access to the old sound effects that I did not save.
