    Far Cry 5 Water Noise / Streams / Harmful Water



    The Ubisoft Featured Outpost map Lost City has sound effects with it's waterfall so hoping we might get something like a sound emitter to use in the Arcade Editor at some point.
    Also looking at the streams in Far Cry 5's Main Campaign some of the water runs really fast and if you are in these sections of water it will pull you down stream so you have to swim fast against the current or be dragged down - such a cool feature.
    Unsure if it's possible but would be brilliant to get some kind of streams working in the map editor.

    So would you guys like some kind of emitters for water noises or streams if it were possible ?

    Edit: One of the guys in the facebook group said that he got splash noises coming from the water effects - unsure if it was as loud as the Ubisoft Map Lost City I have not checked or played around enough yet.

    I am a big user for waterfalls and while I appreciate the effects, I would love to get an effect of water flowing over rock. Even returning the Far Cry 4 waterfalls object would be great. Waterfall sound would be great to have too.

    I'd love to have some customizable sound emitters, like the lights/generic shapes. Just some hidden "speaker" that would play some customizable sound in a loop. And possily another one that acts like a trigger point, playing the sound 1 time once the player gets within range.

    I would much rather have those objects, than having the sound embedded in a preexisting waterfall/particle effect. Because if you just want that sound in your map and it was linked to a particle, then the particle effect budget would take a hit too.

    Unless i'm using them as a far away background or at close distance with the overall waterfall ambiant sound, waterfalls are pretty much useless for me, unfortunately.

    Soundspots with resizable shapes and fade in/out options would be a great addition.
