Suppressor not working?

[Transparent Jeff]

I'm at a part where I am sneaking through a building, but no matter where I go there is always someone there. Before this I got a suppressed PTM, took the suppressor off it and put it on skiff's PTM. But like even if it's a single guy by himself, when I kill them it just like alerts the entire area and I end up with 10+ enemies attacking me. I can definitely get through them with enough patience it's just kinda weird.

What you describe is what many reviewers already said, the AI and stealth seem to be broken. Perhaps best to just wait for a patch rather than spoil your first play through.

Are you at the Sphere? Going stealth with the pistol worked for me - I was able to take down every soldier that was facing away from me without alerting anyone. Not sure if that area is scripted but looks like stealth works for some and not for others.

I'm at the factory. But the stealth didn't really work for me at the sphere. In fact when i was there I found ai in unavoidable spots where I was forced into gunfights.

That's fair, I might wait because I do have some other things I can play and do in the mean time. It by far isn't like ruining the experience but it's somewhat annoying.

AI is a little busted but not completely broken. Make sure your flashlight is off, you're crouched and using a silent weapon.

Suppressors do not make weapons silent, they help make a weapon more quiet but what they actually do is conceal muzzle flash. That crap in the movies? Yeah it doesn't exist.

I know how suppressors work irl but afaik in this game they're supposed to make your gun silent.

That's not what their values do in-game, they're based on real life suppressors. They help but if you blast Scav #15 in front of Scav #12 with his back turned, he's going to hear it lol. What it does is reduces your visibility from shooting and decreases the sound so you don't alert Scav #10 that you just blew Scav #15 and #12's head off across the compound, behind several walls.

They're good and useful. Especially for stealth but the moment someone clues into your murder hobo campaign, that suppressor isn't going to do a whole lot unless you run away to stealth again after their heightened alert schedule expires.

if an NPC sees another NPC just collapse they will investigate, that being said AI can spot you instantly sometimes even if you are in a completely pitch black corner.

I dunno bro, at one point I killed a guy with it who was by himself, no one else was nearby and then suddenly I'm in combat and several guys start running through a doorway at me. Another time I kill two in the basement and everyone above ground outside comes rushing in also.

I found using grenades and a shotgun to be optimal there :)
