Read sound as a risk signal
Update 0.4.0.84 changed how Distorted react to bullets, impacts, suppressed shots, melee attacks and containers. A single bullet is no longer treated as several sources, while opening containers can draw more attention.
Practical use
Before looting, pause to listen and check your exit. Suppressed fire and melee are not a promise of safety; treat them as lower-noise options and adjust when the live build changes.
