Sorry, I have removed music from my game (music volume level at 0). Like that I can get immersed in the game and hear for sounds cue, when they are here (most of the time).

Oh no, would the Spidey Sense mod help? I think the music adds to the fun x100!

if you just lower it to 30% you don’t miss out on anything

Honestly, I have it, but I don’t really pay attention to the indicators. Hearing sound is more efficient.

I use to remove the music in the majority of the games I play (however, not all, example Star wars outlaw I have kept it).
But I tried in one mission cause a lot of players said that the music was great.
I feel that it is really disturbing.

Fairly partial to warp traveler myself, and love the initial way they blasted that during gameplay when carnival was released, almost a shame they toned it down even if it got repetitive.

Also not sure if it’s Kyd-related, but the score for the initial gameplay trailer back in 2020 still lives a little rent free in my head, still think that’s a great trailer.
Hoping we get that tune integrated one day in the same way they did warp traveler or disposal in gameplay.

So far:
Warp Traveler
The Transit Horde
Nightsider

I also love “Dropship to Hive Tertium”, which is the tune as you load in to a level during the dropship splash.

Yeah there’s a second part to the Transit Station horde theme in that trailer that we have never heard in game. Really hoping it gets used at some point like Warp Traveler/Nightsider did (both used in class trailers before appearing in Carnival District as horde and monstrosity themes).

And my absolute favorites would be Light of the Imperium, Embrace of the Chaos Cult and Offworld Auspex. I’m also a huge fan of Waiting to Strike, it was used so well in the Traitor Curse trailer.

I mean, probably worth raising a glass to Disposal unit too.

99% of us probably loved the first time we got to the end of the assassination mission and it’s an enduring memory and a solid reason why the soundtrack got as much attention as it did initially.

But, it’s also the obvious pick so nobody is going to mention it :smiley:

Poor Disposal unit.

Excellent sample, my favorite part from Disposal Unit Imperium Remix. The chanting perfectly embodies Chaos itself

Unrest in Throneside
The Gauntlet
Imperial Advance

I am not kidding when I say the OST is one of the main draws of this game for me. I am IN love with the game, but add the incredible audio and music. I will play this for as long as I am breathing/servers are up.
