NRV-E new sound and cosmetic

I personally don’t like how the NRV-E sounds the same as the 7EN once shot. It’s a nice gun but needs a new sound. Like an unstable plasma shot or something like this

It also looks a little too plain. Maybe add some Blue lighting on the sides like how the Plasma rifle has red lights on the sides.

Put Dutch’s knife on the bottom of the barrel like how a bayonet would go on a rifle.

It’s a modified M107A1 that fires an explosive payload. The sound should be the exact same as the unmodified weapon, realistically speaking.

The round that it fires is different, and potentially, the chamber as well, but it would sound very similar, if not exactly the same.

I prefer to hear some creative unorthodox sounds xD

But thanks for the info i didn’t know

I have to agree with Slade here. I was disappointed that the NRV-E is just using the 7EN sound. We can go with realism sure, but this is a video game and so we can have creative liberties on making great sound design.

There are plenty of other sniper rifles that they can use, modify a bit to make it deeper and combine it with a layer of some kind of plasma sound, then you get what the gun is stated to be, a powerful sniper rifle that is modified with Predator technology to deliver explosive pentrating rounds.

Like take a peek at this one right here, have this and add plasma sound effect and you get a mean sounding rifle that delivers the punch

That legitimately sexually aroused me…

I have asked for the ability to upload and use sound files for weapons that only you can hear, but not in this forum. Warframe would make a lot more sense since it’s a sandbox game. I mean, I would have my Braton Prime blasting like a Pulse Rifle, or my Corinth Prime sounding like the Combat Shotgun from Doom 2016. But Warframe is a PVE game. PVP games usually rely on realism to deliver a realistic combat experience. Some games get away with keeping it fantasy and that’s absolutely wonderful. ESO, Destiny, Paladins, Overwatch, Halo(kind of), etc. This game, I feel should have a minimal amount of fantasy in it since it takes place during our time. If we had a PVE experience, I’d be right on board with custom sounds and more fantastic items in the game. But for PVP, I prefer to keep it as realistic as possible or to understand the ballistics and mechanics of a game if not realistic. Then again, that’s just my opinion and y’all are free to have yours as well.

Having realism in the game isn’t bad at all, I understand. Its just that when it comes to very small things like beefing up sound design to make it better in some areas is not bad. Sounds for M16s and SCAR to fit with their realistic counter part makes sense cuz these are weapons based on actual existing ones. With Isabelle’s rifle, there is more wiggle room as the weapon itself is modified by fictional means, therefore you can mess with the boundaries of sound design a bit to fit that theme itself. Basicly, if it makes sense and doesn’t conflict with the overall tone of the game, then it shouldn’t be a huge game ending problem.

Sides, if we were to keep it real realistic, most of these weapons would one shot Predator or Fireteam in a heartbeat that this game would be just plain unjust, like Predator heads exploding from .50 caliber bullets from sniper rifles or one shot by a single uncharged plasmacaster bolt.

Overall, I get where your coming from in the overall point of view of the game, just simply that in this specific case, we could have some more freedom in making sound for Isabelle’s fictional technologically enhanced sniper rifle based on Predator tech, well sound better. Hell, I still want the sound fx of the Plasmacaster from the first film as that sounds so goddam powerful that it makes the current one feels flaccid in comparison. Oh well! Cheers bro!

I Imagine it is a 7EN with a plasma cell attached

So it fires the 50 cal bullet that is charged with plasma

I don’t hate it but I wish they would just stick with normal firearms

But most of them are though? The OWLF Pitbull is still mostly based on Earth tech, its just a powerful rail gun like weapon and the Plasma Rifle is truly the sci-fi one out of the game, besides Isabelle’s rifle of course. Three in total I believe.

As long as the arsenal isn’t 50% fictional and like within the 10% or so like how it is now, I’m not going to complain about it.

Yea most are

It would be better though if ALL were

I would have preferred to get a new

It needs to be hit scan or at least faster and do more damage. Base damage should be 100hp and go from there.

Also, needs a unique sound. illfonic proving once again how lazy they are and just do copy paste.

More bullets too since you’ll be missing a lot.

I think the biggest lost opportunity was the scope

Oh yea we want adjustable scope with a nice true sniper crosshair not the red cross symbol

Always wanted me a zoom in/out feature for both Fireteam with their scopes and Predator with their biomask. Makes no sense either don’t have it.

Sound suggestion is great

…it does not need a bayonet lol especially if it can’t be used, that always bugged me about design choices.

It’s going to have to be a bayonet or a melon charm nothing else is acceptable xD

Melon charm > bayonet

Melon Men Charm is the only acceptable answer.

And Melon Grenade shaders.

This bothered me too and is part of the reason why I didn’t buy the dlc.

More laziness from Illfonic. They’re probably going to change the sound in the hotfix or the following update.
