OW2 Gunfire Sound Effects

From watching gameplay vids I couldn’t help but notice the gunfire sound effects are too loud comparative to the rest of the game. At some points, when there’s a lot of gunfire, it kinda drowns out the sounds of enemy abilities like Sombra’s hack or Mercy’s rez. The sounds in general are nice though my only gripe is that the damage ticks like Moira’s biotic grasp and Zarya’s cannon sound off to me, almost nauseating. I’ve never had a problem with busy auditory effects so it’s weird for me to even notice. Auditory overload is a thing though so I hope the devs don’t overlook people that are more sensitive to that stuff. Has anybody else noticed any of this? I hope they at least add a specific gunfire sound dial in the options when it releases

You can turn the “sound” down if you want while having the “music” and “voice” higher. Its not like this is the 101 of basic settings…

Sound, sound effects and gunfire sound are 3 diff things. The sound and sound effects are fine it’s the gunfire sound that’s too loud for me. And I’ve seen other people notice this as well after I had posted the thread
