HMT Ear Plugs V1.0.0.0

HMT Ear Plugs provide two purchasable hearing protection options with three attenuation levels and switchable radio attenuation without using a menu. Vehicle, environmental, and character sounds can be reduced while multiplayer voice chat remains available at the set volume.

Features

• Two variants: HMT-0017 hearing protection with radio, and HMT-0018 in-ear hearing protection without radio.
• Three attenuation levels: 25%, 50%, and 75%, plus switched off.
• Wireless hearing protection plays the game radio at its set volume by default.
• The in-ear version includes the game radio in its attenuation by default.
• Radio attenuation can be toggled at any time.
• Multiplayer voice chat works at the set voice chat volume in both versions, even while the volume is muted.
• The hearing protection works while driving and using other tools.
• When switching between different types of hearing protection, the selected noise reduction level is retained.
• Each player is allowed one pair of wireless earplugs and one pair of in-ear earplugs. Previously purchased boxes and pending purchases count towards this limit. Once a pair has been sold, it can be purchased again.
• The player’s inventory is saved with the game progress. Each new game session begins with hearing protection switched off.
