Attack sound decreased by 50%

Ever since ‘The Nightmare Within’ content was released, I’ve been experiencing the attack sounds to be 50% more quieter than any other sounds being played. I’ve tried on both my 7.1 headset, and also my stereo headset, and they both sound the same unfortunately.. It is very weird to hear dialogue being infinitely more louder than my rifle. O_o

Was this a deliberate change?

Can you double check your Windows settings for your sound device? This sounds like it might be set to “5 speaker surround” on a 2-speaker system (or headphones), which can cause some of the sounds to try and play on non-existent speakers.
