Weapon Sound Design & Implementation | Lyra UE5 + Wwise

Weapon sound design and implementation for Lyra (UE5 + Wwise).

Three weapons — Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun. Each with Fire, Dry Fire, Reload, Equip.

Sound design in Ableton: synthetic textures + real gunshot recordings, mechanical bolt/hammer clicks, kick-style samples for body impact, Serum 2 for sci-fi color, compressed transient layers for snap.

Inside Wwise: 5-6 shot variations per Fire event with randomized pitch and volume. 1P/3P routing via custom PostEventSmart C++ wrapper — local player sound routes to PlayerCameraManager (close, dry), bots route to actor (full spatial).

From the full audio system I built for Lyra solo in two weeks.
