Does anyone have a video or sound clip comparing the weapon sounds for each weapon upgrade tier?
I heard that w0/w1/w2/w3 are all supposed to have different sounds, but I could never really tell the difference during the excitement of a battle, and I always seem to forget to compare them when not fighting.
That being said, is LMG the only weapon with differing sounds, or do shotgun/minigun/pistol/axe (lol) all get different sounds according to weapon upgrade rank?

    The LMG is the only weapon with different sounds. Afaik, there's no way to directly compare, but if you load a map on your own and fire, you should hear the w0 sound, and if you go to Training>Sandbox mode, you should hear w3. Further than that I recommend actively paying attention to the sounds next time you play marines ;)

    Next time you see your comm get w1, wait for the research bar to be nearly full and then unload a clip as the upgrade activates; you'll hear a raise in the pitch/ fire rate? of the sound.

    The weapon sound will pack more punch and sound less like a pea shooter. The fire rate doesn't change.
