In my opinion, the sounds for lasers in the base game are fairly weak and unassuming. The weapons don't feel good to use in large part because of this.
This mod addresses that issue.
This mod changes firing sounds, overheat alert beeps, and general sound FX for Laser weapons.
Only reloading sounds are untouched.
Affects the following weapons and stratagems:
LAS-98 Laser Cannon - Loudest sound, large bassy crack at the initial shot to simulate moisture in the air being superheated and popping from the hot laser
LAS-99 Quasar Cannon - More machine-esque windup and LOUD cannon shot. Much more satisfying than before in my opinon
LAS-5 Scythe (& Guard Dog) - Higher pitch than the Laser Cannon due to the thinner beam. Less superheated moisture expansion, so smaller crack.
LAS-7 Dagger - Fairly quiet still, due to being the weakest. But added new reverb effects, beam effects, and overheat beep to improve soundstage
LAS-58 Talon - This space revolver now has a more "space laser" sound with notes getting higher as heat rises, notifying the user in a quick responsive way!
Orbital Laser - Sounds scary and imposing now. You're welcome
ENJOY HELLDIVERS.
