Titanfall 2: EPG-1 Sound Redesign

I made this redesign of the EPG-1 over the past few evenings to practice using Phase Plant. The EPG-1’s original sound in the game is especially distinct, so I elected to go a different direction with my redesign. It was a lot of fun!

The distant explosion sound in this video is something I’d like to improve. How do you prefer to synthesize explosions? If you have tips, I’m all ears! Thanks!
