Well, 3 times now I've been killed by a laser boat Stalker equipped with 4 to 5 Large Lasers that have been completely silent! What I mean by this is that the Stalker can shoot me from about 300+ meters away and the sound effects from the lasers are missing at that distance, along with the sound effects of my parts blowing off.

I was in my Catapult looking over a ridge and I saw a Stalker about 450 meters away, he saw me too and shot me in the face with 5 Large Lasers. No sound effect, no red marker indicating that I have been shot from the forward direction. Only sound was "critical damage". So I backed up real quick and figured it was just an audio bug no big deal, but then all of a sudden I look down to see my arms being blown off on my Mech's damage indicator (no sound effect of the lasers making contact, and no sound of the part being blown off, no critical damage sound, NOTHING!)

Second time this happened I was in my Atlas and was the last person standing, against an enemy team of 3. A stalker killed my Atlas silently from a distance behind me before I even knew that I was taking damage. No indicators, no sound effects, no nothing!

Third time was just a minute ago in my GaussCat. I was sniping a Hunchback from atop a snowy hill and all of a sudden without any indicators or sound effects my Arm, and Right torso were blown apart!! So I desperately looked to my right to see what it was that did it and low and behold, a LaserStalker was firing relentlessly at me from about 500m without making a single sound or effect of any kind that I was able to use to discern his location prior.

Fix it please! That is a nasty exploit that should not be allowed!

I've been noticing the lack of sound effects from lasers recently as well, but I believe it's more of a bug than an exploit.

What I mean from an exploit is that people are noticing it and using it on purpose. I know that I do NOT have any problems with sound effects from under 300m distance, anything outside 300m the lasers are silent, and my soundFX for parts being blown off are gone too
