Most of us have probably made more than a few enthusiastic gun sounds in our time while playing FPS games, but now Apex Legends streamer Rudeism has converted that habit into an actual gameplay mechanic. Using an Arduino microprocessor, Rudeism managed to map his hands to the battle royale game’s weapons, using motion sensors to aim and firing by making noise into a lapel mic.
The streamer, famed for his bizarre alternative controller solutions, uploaded a video of his setup to the Apex Legends subreddit (spotted by TheGamer), where he tests out his creation for the first time with a tentative, “brrrrrrrrr” – then gets very excited when he is able to knock down an enemy with his voice-controlled shots.
Any sound works, as he demonstrates with a little “brap brap brap” and some “pa pa pa pa” sounds. Amusingly, as he then exclaims, “this is so dumb, this is my favourite thing in the world,” his weapon fires off several more bursts in time with his speech, showing that you’d probably have to keep your lips sealed if you were trying to be a bit more sneaky.
