Barrel Update + Pickup Changes
MAURINO BERRY
Barrels suck. We know. They were always meant to be a placeholder. A few years in and we're still not ready to give them up, though so I thought the least I could do is make them slightly more satisfying to smash open. I've added a particle effect and changed how the gibs work, so they actually fly apart a little bit. I've also changed the sounds to be more beefy, instead of that hollow shitty sound. Keep in mind these sounds are somewhat placeholder and need a polish pass by our sound guy, but I think you'll all find it a little bit more satisfying.
Also I've modified item pickups so that they play their physics impact sound when you actually grab them. This adds to the 'game-feel' of looting barrels, but it also has some gameplay implications due to the fact that others in the world will be able to hear the small pickup sound.
