SUPRESSOR IN BASE GAME

[Marcelo]

Is there a possibility that the devs will add supressor to the weapons to the base game? Honestly in vanilla the firearms are practically useless. I only play vanilla and I get the urge to use firearms, only I know they are fatal and call for death.

M32 Revolver

It's sound radius is TINY

Is it safe to use this gun on the street? I say, won't the zombies from afar surround me?

With no less than 5 points in reloading the M32 is a solid little handgun at clearing out the light work, it's not going to stop larger groups of zeds but it's also not going to pull in large numbers of zeds as most other guns will thanks to it's small sound radius. I also use the M625 because of it's smaller sound radius as a next step up from the M32.

Guns are not a death sentence if you know how to use them.

Early game I always try to have a shotgun with at least 40 shells on hand. If a large group of zombies come at me, fire a few shots at very close range, run away to reload, repeat until a more manageable amount remains. Each shot usually takes out 2 to 3 zombies. While the blast will draw some more zombies in, you can clear a small area in a few minute easily.

I prefer the non-sawed off 7 shell shotgun as a sling can be attached. For some reason, the sawed off version does not allow a sling.

Once you get your aiming skill up a few levels, then try out other guns.


I would not mind a suppressor in the game if it was a very rare drop, but I am also OK without it too.

To get better with firearms, you can always load up a practice game and play around with them on a character you don't care if death is coming fast. The more hands on with the weapon, the more you learn how and when to use.

Practice toon, so the one you have bonded to with your gaming soul and love to death doesn't die as fast.

I doubt the devs want to add suppressors, making guns OP considering they're already very good. I thought they sucked too when I was learning the game. I'll typically grab a shotgun and a couple boxes of ammo and clear out a large area, now that area is safe for 3 days or forever depending on your respawn settings. The only time I would be careful with guns if if you're playing with all sprinters, at that point I'd install a silencer mod or wait until I'm in a safer area with a plan and escape. Otherwise you're safe enough to walk down Louisville with a shotgun since you can simply outwalk them.

Level up with a shotgun to 3+ aiming. Use a m14 mag or something to level reloading to 3+ or whatever you have at hand. After 3+ I typically start also using the m32 revolver, as others said it's pretty quiet. Has a sound range of about your screen zoomed out.

Suppressors are a Class 3 Firearm under the NFA so are limited and need extra paperwork and whatnot to get in Kentucky. If anything they'd be as if not rarer then the M16 drop in 1993 Kentucky.

And if you do find one the effectiveness of one IRL doesn't match what you run into in Media

Suppressors turn gunshots that'll blow your eardrums to a loud gunshot that WON'T blow out your eardrums

Maybe a mod that adds in a Drill Press and Oil Filters.

Double-barrel shotty suppressor when?

The ATF are on their way

In all seriousness I can see it being added to a crafting or car mechanics overhaul mod as a nifty thing you can do

It would be pretty op at clearing stuff more than it already is but sure why not.
