Max Planck 7174 Posted June 21, 2012 I have a question about the new heartbeat mechanic. Can anyone explain what it sounds like and how close I have to be to hear it? I had an incident yesterday where I thought I heard a players heartbeat, but it might have been his backpack or some sort of hobnailed boots... Sorry guy. I was in the forest near NWAF, just minding my own business, when all of a sudden this guy comes darting through the woods making the weirdest sound. He went "Tink-tink-tink-tink-tink!", with some other noises mixed in as well. It didn't at all sound like the noise my own backpack makes, It was really loud and since he was in ghillie I would not have seen him if it hadn't been for the racket he made. Anyway, I thought it was a heartbeat, made a split second decision and shot him. Now I'm a murderer. Not how I planned.So, any experiences with the heartbeat thing?

Beloozero 118 Posted June 21, 2012 Heartbeat could be potential for a new bandit detection system. I only heard it once but for 3 seconds cause the guy shot me. Other than that, no encounter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hetstaine 10852 Posted June 21, 2012 You only hear it when they are really close, like under 10 feet. And from what i found last night , you can hear it if they are under you in a building as well. It sounds like a heartbeat, there is no other noise in the game that sounds like it. A guy i am travelling with killed a dude at Balota, we are all weaponed and medikitted up and taking no chances, he popped him and his mate. Now whenever i am within that 10 feet radius (roughly) and looking at him i hear his heartbeat. He has two murders logged. I have none and he hears nothing on me.You are basically face to face before it kicks in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it means that when you crouch run, you sound like a freight train stuffed with drunk singing people hammering on tin cans. I'm going to start walking more often.
