It's always interesting to discover what sound designers use to make certain video game sound effects. For the "hit-pip" sound effect, Overwatch developers used the sound made when you open a beer. :)

Another extremely challenging sound is the "hit-pip." When you hit someone, you need to know you made contact. The sound needs to cut through the mix but not feel like it comes from any hero. It went through tons of iteration. Finally, one night I thought, " It should be satisfying to hit an enemy." Just think about what's satisfying: beer. So I literally opened a beer bottle. pssht. The sound is reversed and tweaked a little, but that sound is our hit-pip.
 
Haha that's awesome, Ive been really enjoying the game and the sound. Puts my 7.1 surround to good use lol
 
Just wait, some crusader somewhere will see this and claim that it is subliminal marketing to try to get people, especially kids, to drink.
 
Haven't played it but:

Fun Fact: The sound effects for Zac's squishes was made from Dog Food and Beans inside a Condom slapped against a wall.
 
How the groups make sound effects for movies/games is hilarious and fun to watch. There was an video somewhere of how they made sounds for porn and it forever ruined me.
