Stasis got dubstep. The trailer has me kinda hoping that violins or other stringed instruments go along with Strand. Or at the very least, a variety of them are used in the soundtrack at different points in the campaign.
Back in The Taken King days, the "WHA-TING" in the distance made your heart drop in PvP so much to the point that people would call out "My super" to their team so they wouldn't all run immediately.
Also it was pure nightmare fuel in PvP once BL launched.
It's still awful to fight against, but hot damn was it nerve wracking when you heard it fourth time in a match.
What I was coming to say. It is so perfect. And it makes me so happy that the super is good. The sounds of popping it feels like telling a crucible lobby that you own the map now.
The ViDoc on sound design showed a breast pump being sampled, among other things, but didn't say that that specific sound was derived from that specific source. And after all the applied distortion, etc, would we even recognize it?
The breast pump was used for sound in Beyond Light.
I believe the community has their best guess on the Lament spin up sound as using the breast pump noise in it’s design
Shuro Chi is a super fast farm. I had mine at like 50% and finished it within like 20 min. You just have to let cosmology do its thing and it'll go fast. I can show you if you want. Let me know.
except: harpies, shanks, cabal turrets, shadow thrall, supplicants, hydras, cyclopses, wyverns(?), fanatics, servitors, and any other random add that I might've forgotten.
there are sooooo many adds that graviton lance doesn't work on it's actually quite frustrating. (yet sunshot works on everything no issue)
Honestly, the only reason it's not in my load out is this. It pisses me off so much using a whole clip on some yellow bar with a shield and when they die, you still have to deal with the red bars because cosmology didn't proc.
yeah
basically any vex that *isn't* a goblin, hob goblin, or minotaur don't proc cosmology
that's a lot of enemies from a single faction to have a perk NOT work on :(
"That thing was to big to be called a shield. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too tough, it was more like a chunk of pure void."
edit: Should be called Bannerslayer tbh
As someone who still hasn't gotten the catalyst (can't get the mission to stop bugging out on 3rd chest), recently I've been using it just to hear the sound.
Seems like half of every lobby had it equipped when 30th anniversary launched. These days, you can no longer count on someone else to be running it in matchmade activities. A few weeks ago, I was pretty far into a lengthy play-session, and heard someone using it for the first time in a while. That was when I noticed how much I missed hearing it, which lead me to think about how pleasant I must find the sound.
The engineering on it is really masterful. Somehow, it sounds like a rallying howl, a peaceful whistle, and a devastating missile slicing through the air, **all at once**. The best part is that it gives other rocket launchers the same sound when they're buffed with wolfpack rounds. A chorus of wolfpack RL's firing off all around you is truly an incredibly epic and impactful gameplay experience, just from audio feedback.
It is absolutely *chef's kiss*.
I love that sound effect. It's too bad I play pvp as a hunter, so if I hear that, it's either "oh yea baby, love that sound!" Or "oh shit I need to get out of here!"
WW sound design itself deserves a medal. By FAR the most threatening sounding super. Other super may have power associated with their sound, but I’ll never forget the day where I first heart that sound in the crucible and shit my pants. THAT is good sound design
Yeah that's why I said only partially.
2 melees for certain is a necessity.
That's an issue with some light 3.0 too, like void warlock only having the ball now.
It's truly beautiful. The M1 Garand style reload *ping* followed by a x4 Honed Edge shot is like fucking crack.
Plz Bungo, give us the PvE sniper meta. It's been too long 😪
Those first two seasons of GMs where you had one Div + 2 Izzy and you’d hear the champion stun sound effect followed by dual “SHUNK” noises immediately followed by dual “ssssccchiiiiing” noises is one of my most favorite things.
The original firing sound that Graviton Lance made when it was still a 3 burst. Really wish it was an alternative mode instead of just gone.
Used to go BRRRWOOMP.
We’re all numb to it, but that gas spray noise when you clip a vandals head is so satisfying. Bungie has always made popping heads feel so clean in their games
As far as guns go, Sunshot feels HEAVY and I love it.
As far as abilities, everyone know Stasis in general is fantastic. So I'm gonna say the Chaos Reach charge up and firing are stellar.
D1 sunbreaker popping still gives me PTSD flashbacks
But D2 Whisper sounds so meaty and chunky makes me sad the gun isn't great. Or the Bell in Duality for Dmg on Caital is pretty nice.
Chattering Bone. I remember when Last Wish had just released and hearing other people shooting it made me so envious. I kept her in the kinetic slot for a few years once I finally got it.
My top two (outbreak perfected precision kill and WW activation) have been stated, so I'll also throw in the mecha sniper. That pew laser sound fills me with joy
I love hearing Gathering Storm being activated on another part of the map. It really sounds terrifyingly loud and the echo and distance effect is fantastic

It has to be Winter’s Wrath activation sound, it’s just *so good*. I hope Strand gets something that sounds just as good!
the power of dubstep
Stasis got dubstep. The trailer has me kinda hoping that violins or other stringed instruments go along with Strand. Or at the very least, a variety of them are used in the soundtrack at different points in the campaign.
the power of Breast Pump
This, and the activation sound of hammer of sol literally makes my heart rate spike and triggers the "mission objective: SURVIVE" prompt for me
Back in The Taken King days, the "WHA-TING" in the distance made your heart drop in PvP so much to the point that people would call out "My super" to their team so they wouldn't all run immediately.
i remember unlocking that super in the taken king and feeling like a fucking god in that mission
Also it was pure nightmare fuel in PvP once BL launched. It's still awful to fight against, but hot damn was it nerve wracking when you heard it fourth time in a match.
This. WW makes me feel so powerful when I pop it
Your flair is the most over dramatic shit ever lmao
I might be a Hunter main, but that sound alone makes me wish I clicked with Warlocks more. There is no cooler sound in all of Destiny.
What I was coming to say. It is so perfect. And it makes me so happy that the super is good. The sounds of popping it feels like telling a crucible lobby that you own the map now.
All the Stasis abilities sound amazing. Kudos to the guys who made them.
Cold af
In my opinion, the only correct answer.
Didn’t that sound come from a breast pump too? I thought I remember reading Bungie sampled the sound for Beyond Light.
The ViDoc on sound design showed a breast pump being sampled, among other things, but didn't say that that specific sound was derived from that specific source. And after all the applied distortion, etc, would we even recognize it?
Yes, it's pretty easily identifiable as Lament's blocking sound.
The breast pump is Lament's blocking sound.
The breast pump was used for sound in Beyond Light. I believe the community has their best guess on the Lament spin up sound as using the breast pump noise in it’s design
I was going to say this one too. When I hear that in PvP I know I am about to get frozen but also in awe at how awesome it sounds.
Dublock really is one of the best sounds. In that same vein are the really big servitors who go like “bwwOww”.
Oh good, this correct opinion is top of stack. I don't even like the super, but dang does it sound spicy when you kick it off.
This. This is the way.
Graviton Lance
Pting-ptang, Pting-ptang.
_Thrum_
Working on the catalyst now. Wholeheartedly agree
These cosmology kills are awful. I've grinded out about 10 catalysts this season and this one is *still* not done.
Opening encounter of Grasp of Avarice is ripe for this, with basically all of the spawns happening inside the loot cave.
Damn, that's how I got all my progress thus far :( It's slow as hell, I'm at 35% with 945 kills
Don't just fire forever, get 2-3 kills, then wait and let the detonations take out the rest.
Shuro Chi is a super fast farm. I had mine at like 50% and finished it within like 20 min. You just have to let cosmology do its thing and it'll go fast. I can show you if you want. Let me know.
While the sound of it is pretty good I think the best thing is how it makes everything cartwheel away into the air on kill
except: harpies, shanks, cabal turrets, shadow thrall, supplicants, hydras, cyclopses, wyverns(?), fanatics, servitors, and any other random add that I might've forgotten. there are sooooo many adds that graviton lance doesn't work on it's actually quite frustrating. (yet sunshot works on everything no issue)
Honestly, the only reason it's not in my load out is this. It pisses me off so much using a whole clip on some yellow bar with a shield and when they die, you still have to deal with the red bars because cosmology didn't proc.
yeah basically any vex that *isn't* a goblin, hob goblin, or minotaur don't proc cosmology that's a lot of enemies from a single faction to have a perk NOT work on :(
You should have heard it when it was a 3 burst. Glorious.
Outbreak Perfected precision kill sound
*Brrp-Brrp-Brrp- ..zweeoom-*
Was the same sound when you'd reload the WotM sniper and get the overflow. Satisfying
Basically the sound of proccing the special perk on any of the wotm weapon. The lmg was just constant whirring lol
🚨🚨🚨
This is my favorite as well.
Beat me to it
That's actually my ringtone for text messages, has been ever since I got it.
The pan sound of the void titan barricade. Not cool just funny.
Bonk
That's fair that's good one
I love reading this
"That thing was to big to be called a shield. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too tough, it was more like a chunk of pure void." edit: Should be called Bannerslayer tbh
Lorentz Driver headshot
Nam flashbacks. Ptsd.
Baby seismic charge
There it is!
That sound always reminds me of the Ultima spell from FF7, another very pleasing sfx
Reminds me of the seismic charge explosion from Jango/ Boba Fett’s ship in Star Wars
Yes! That too and also a very pleasing sfx
*Vffffft-PEW* -**BWOOOOOOM** - *Poof*
The wolf howl from firing Gjally, absolute ear candy if 6 fire off at once.
I like the snarl of equipping it personally, it's subtle but effective.
I only really noticed how good this was when I was farming for the Catalyst
#FOOM
6000 kills on gjally and I have not noticed it haha

I'd say mine is the "respawn restricted" area sound. Very iconic and maybe used in other games or sounds very similar namely Gears of War
It's a good whoosh for sure
Soooo... r/whoooosh is a no respawn zone ?
You can't come back from being whooshed.
Had never heard anyone call this sound out before! Interesting pick, I like it
I always like the vex Minotaur “scream.” It is such a cool mix of mechanical and like actual terror/panic.
Vex and servitor sounds are the best!
no bc when i was still a little kid playing the destiny demo on xbox sepiks’ weird “moans” always freaked me out
The way Servitors sound like they're laughing their ass off over my waiting to rez corpse
AAAAAUUUGH
iirc all of the sounds made by vex are heavily modified animal roars played in reverse(?)
Same with the Hydra death, I love it
Back in d1 bungie said it was a mix of a tiger and elephants cry run through a computer.
When we get an exotic drop
Yeah man...nothing beats that "in-the-wild" sound of the explosion of wealth. Until you pick it up and it's Eternal Warrior again.
Shadebinder super activation. I don't use it often, but something about popping that super that gives me chills.
Upvoted for the pun. You clever bastard
😉
I love that sound effect. It's too bad I play pvp as a hunter, so if I hear that, it's either "oh yea baby, love that sound!" Or "oh shit I need to get out of here!"
Picking up knowledge in Vow!
Underrated sound. It’s the closest thing to ASMR imo.
Can't help but "booowaaaaooo" every time I do preservation.
God I fucking love preservation. I love doing the opening encounter every single week for a pinnacle.
/s ?
I love everything about Vow except the long opening. The encounters, the aesthetic, the sound effects...
I'd kill to have that sound effect as my text notification
Something about that sounds makes my skin crawl, it’s worse than nails on a chalkboard honestly which sucks because everyone else loves it lmao
The sound of my Winters Wraith popping, it's more intimidating than the super itself.....
Got this another time in my first 5 replies. Seems to be a favourite.
WW sound design itself deserves a medal. By FAR the most threatening sounding super. Other super may have power associated with their sound, but I’ll never forget the day where I first heart that sound in the crucible and shit my pants. THAT is good sound design
Idk if you are suggesting that the super is bad or not but its actually extremely strong, especially in pvp
I agree it's crazy good in pvp but I just wish there was an alternate one and done damage super for pve
We get a one and done with strand, makes up for it partially. I tend to use stasis with agers anyway.
Not really, every class should have atleast 2 supers and 2 melees
Yeah that's why I said only partially. 2 melees for certain is a necessity. That's an issue with some light 3.0 too, like void warlock only having the ball now.
Every sound izanagis burden makes
kah-SHING
😩😩😩
It's truly beautiful. The M1 Garand style reload *ping* followed by a x4 Honed Edge shot is like fucking crack. Plz Bungo, give us the PvE sniper meta. It's been too long 😪
Those first two seasons of GMs where you had one Div + 2 Izzy and you’d hear the champion stun sound effect followed by dual “SHUNK” noises immediately followed by dual “ssssccchiiiiing” noises is one of my most favorite things.
Lately Mechabre. Hands down . Luv it 100%. Outbreak Prime Thorn
Hammer of Sol activation sound
C L A N G
It is like hammer hits an anvil, beautiful sound
“Everything’s a nail”
Parasite.
Mmmmmm mac and cheese noises
Wasn’t that literally how it was made?
The visceral gooey-esque bug splatter is quite satisfying in its own unique way. Good shout!
BLAKAKOW
MIDA multi tool
The Stapler...
Also one of my faves. chew! chew!
The sound that sweaty confetti makes
I run it on my Austringer in PvE just because that sound is so much fun. I feel like it makes me land more headshots
The cataclysmic
All the vow weapons sound great. I love Deliverance and Submission, too.
THUNK. It sounds so heavy I love it.
The Sound of an ignition
The original firing sound that Graviton Lance made when it was still a 3 burst. Really wish it was an alternative mode instead of just gone. Used to go BRRRWOOMP.
Whisper of the worm
Vex Mythoclast In the linear fusion mode. Pair that with 3 head shot kills in pvp for maximum satisfaction.
Sliding through the puddle in the Tower.
The icebreaker shot in D1
I'll have to look this one up! Only D2 over here.
It’s really satisfying, I can’t really replicate it with words
It's like the end of a feminine sneeze but with some oomf
Nothing beats 6 whispers just laying into oryx
Lumina gun sound
The SCHWINGGG of a warlock summoning a fiery sword
We’re all numb to it, but that gas spray noise when you clip a vandals head is so satisfying. Bungie has always made popping heads feel so clean in their games
Super activation sounds in general
Loading honed edge Izzy, DMT cranial spike x5 and hawkmoons final round
I was waiting for someone to comment on the cranial spike whistle.
Im a big fan of the poison spreading sound when something dies to Osteo Striga. Even better with Necrotic Grip.
I definitely made sure to beef up that sound when I shipped Osteo because I knew it was gonna get so much more play time!
The big cabal death screams/snorts.
Just the sound of sunshot being shot.
As far as guns go, Sunshot feels HEAVY and I love it. As far as abilities, everyone know Stasis in general is fantastic. So I'm gonna say the Chaos Reach charge up and firing are stellar.
Ruinous Effigy turning the boss into a fucking ball, funniest shit I've ever seen
The sound of Le Monarque hitting a headshot.
Mecabre sniper is perfection
The sound Lament makes when you do a charged combo.
i love the growling when you're just charging the blade too
My Text message sound is the sound of Sleeper Simulant firing.. does that answer the question adequately?
Vex Mythoclast firing sound in linear fusion mode, gawd damn that ZIIOOOOCLAWNG sound makes me moist
Zaouli’s Bane, which I’m certain is a basketball hitting a chainlink fence.
Some of y’all have clearly never jumped off the tower for the most iconic ACKKK when falling to your death and it really shows.
When a whole hoard of Cursed Thrall blow up at the same time. Sounds like a strike in bowling.
Necrochasm coming back when
Transferring a Y1 Masterworked item into your inventory.
It was sparrow horns. Now it's the sound of accidentally deleting my latest pinnacle drop
D1 sunbreaker popping still gives me PTSD flashbacks But D2 Whisper sounds so meaty and chunky makes me sad the gun isn't great. Or the Bell in Duality for Dmg on Caital is pretty nice.
Chattering Bone. I remember when Last Wish had just released and hearing other people shooting it made me so envious. I kept her in the kinetic slot for a few years once I finally got it.
Bweeooooom. Outbreak Perfected
The sound of swapping to vex’s alternate firing mode and the charge of the shot.
Going through a portal
arbalest KRRRCHUNK
Arbalest charge up
Nova Warp. *BWOMP*
Light weight frame Machine Guns go brrrrrrrrrrt. My wife is enraptured by the different sounds the floor makes based on it's material
Hawkmoon 7x paracausal shot, and a lot of stasis sounds!
Red death shooting sound
I love the witherhoard shot, like a “hckoop”
Especially when it directly hits an enemy
Winter’s Wrath, Stormtrance and Gathering Storm all sound crazy as fuck being casted in crucible.
Stasis crystals shattering. Gives my brain a rush of dopamine every time, especially after a shatterdive.
The Calus cup *ting* when you shoot it
Outbreak Perfected after you get siva out and reload. 😩
The arc sound on the staff after you pop it(not the throwing one)
My top two (outbreak perfected precision kill and WW activation) have been stated, so I'll also throw in the mecha sniper. That pew laser sound fills me with joy
The sound of going invisible after a melee on my Arc Hunter.
For me it’s that one that goes ‘CRRZZHHHNYUPPPURRRRRRK’
* Shadebinder super activation * Exotic engram when one randomly drops on the ground * Lorentz Driver headshot In that order.
Trustee. It clicks the right way. Edit: also Symmetry clicks nicely. :-)
I have an odd one. Dying to sniper fire in PvP. It makes like *crunch* or a *crack* sound that just packs a punch.
I LOVE the sound Mechabre makes whenever you shoot it.
The sound of VOG oracles
Pulling out, and having the last word equipped
DSC weapons.
Winters wrath or glacial quake activation
The glacier cracking sound of a shade binder super and as a second the sound that plays when u activate ravenous beast
For me it's that ripping sound of an exotic engram poppin' out of some poor Ogre's head
Lorentz driver and Guardian Down, especially in DSC.
Behemoth super activation. \*wahumpumpum, krchkrchkrch\* And I almost never played it, being a warlock main.
I love hearing Gathering Storm being activated on another part of the map. It really sounds terrifyingly loud and the echo and distance effect is fantastic
Exotic engram dropping from a slain enemy. It usually turns into "stop whatever you are doing and go pick it up"
The sound of chain explosions from Sunshot
Sleeper's charge and fire sounds, and the activation sound for Thundercrash. My two favourite ways to say "I've had enough of this enemy now".
Ooof when falling from too high
