When firing a crossbow without a bolt, the dryfire noise is server wide. When firing in Cherno, the sound was heard by a friend who was all the way north by Rify.
It is very easy to replicate and has already been exploited by those trolling on the experimental servers (spamming the fire action). This is only replicated in the latest experimental server version.
Attain crossbow.
Fire crossbow without bolt loaded.
I tried replicating a similar sound when using the mosin without ammo, but it doesn't seem to affect it. I have not tried other weapons besides the crossbow and mosin.
