New GNB sounds have removed slicing now.

[LeoLupinos]

It's a sword. It has an edge. How can you be okay with it having a blunt sound on the regular, non cartridge combo? It sounds like I'm hitting the enemy with the wrong side of the blade.

I can't understand what was so slicing about the old sound. It was a sound of hitting something with a gun, there was NOTHING like slicing with a blade. Now it does sound slicing, impactful, and with explosions.
And it's not supposed to sound just slicing, every hit is a trigger, Solid Barrel just generates a Special Cartridge, we do use normal cartridges in any damage action, you can watch it in every animation.
It should ressemple vibration and slicing, not just slicing like paladin or DRK.
