shigad Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 no, i dont mean there is a bug. i just reached the last mission (i think it's the last mission, i never reached before so i don't know), and there is something on the ground called "sound bug", and i can hack it for 1 firewall. i hacked it, and it does nothing, it seems. what is it?

Alpro Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Detects agents walking nearby i assume. Always hacked them first. Much like cameras, once they're yours, you hear enemies moving around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSimmons Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 They detect when you run (not sneak) when you are 5 tiles away. They raise the alarm 1 or 2 levels (not sure). To be precise on the 5 tiles, don't count the sound bug tile and then count to where you want to run, diagonals count as 2 tiles. If it has a Daemon I don't hack it, easy enough to sneak past it. I think they detect gunshots in range too but haven't tested that theory. They aren't a huge hindrance unless they are in an undiscovered room that your running beside. The only 'sound bug' I have a problem with is background sound effect of all the levels. Not the music, shut that off long time ago but the beep, boop, bop of what I assume is the computers running. I personally dislike that and have to lower my volume so its not overpowering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the truthseeker Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 As noted sound bugs pick up noise. Running, fighting, even reloading can cause it to pick up noise and raise the alarm/cause guards to come like a camera does visually. Hacking it prevents this. If you stay away from its range and not fight in that room, you may choose to leave it as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpro Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 It is good to know they don't detect sneaking, i won't bother hacking them next time, unless i have to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathya Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm quite sure reloading sets them off as well.Often, I don't mind them. Yet, I remember being quite astonished when Shalem, reloading his rifle in another room four tiles away from it, set the sound bug off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very professional is it Mr Shalem...If that is your real name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper shots would also be loud as heck, even with silencer.So let's not get into realism here Also he uses magazines, not clips, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palpetinus Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Indeed.You, too, want the world to finally understand misunderstood or wrongly used words and want people to actually be smart?
