Silenced Weapons

[YoJimbob]

@devs would be nice if you could include an icon or make it more clear which weapons are silenced

[KillerMoth]

It would be better if they allowed you to make silencers or at least buy some. I am not a fan of doing ambushes where all my weapons make loud noises and I have to depend on one character to try and do the most damage before I alert the entire enemy squad.

[YoJimbob]

@killermoth, as you progress in the game you can have all three characters with silenced weapons or skills (there is at least one silenced sniper, at least one assault rifle and Elvis has a skill that allows a silenced takes down up close. But you are correct, should be an attachment you can craft or purchase

[FroBodine]

I was going to ask this same question. Mutant Year Zero made it clear what weapons were silenced or not. How could these developers have forgotten about that in this game. So frustrating.

[Dirkradix]

There's only 2 silenced weapons, the sniper from jade and an assault rifle you find later on. Would be nice if BOUNCER rifles were silenced.

It can be tedious mid-late game when you keep min-maxing switching mods, rifles to this that character to get rage/energy while picking off the loner enemies.

[SerialMum]

I have the sniper with silencers. But what use are silenced weapons if the enemy separated from the group cannot be killed with one shot and the alarm goes off anyway...

[Dirkradix]

You're meant to pick off the loners, and semi-loners, glove is silent too, but takes cooldown. Devs really pushed the silenced even more than Corruption 2029.

[FroBodine]

I don't understand how to take out the stragglers without alerting the rest of the enemies. Like SerialMum said, you can't kill most of them with one shot, so everyone else gets alerted.

How do you do this, please?

get the mod that increases your clip and shove it on the silenced sniper rifle, that way you can potentially take down 2 enemies and keep stealth, not going to help any when they are armored or have any hp over a hundred odd though ....which is all of the enemies

As @Hziulquoigmnzhah said you can mod your sniper rifle with magazine size mod. If you crit and kill the first shot you will be granted a bonus action, with the sniper rifle having two bullets now you can shoot again.

Also you can stack crit chance and crit damage with mods and passive skills to boost the damage to kill off those mobs with higher health.

Also make use of bottles.

Yeh keep your bottles, use them to break up groups with distract.
The "link" when highlighting a target to shoot could be clearer, maybe a curved link instead of a straight line, it isn't always clear that shooting something will alert the squad.
Save before and after every single shot. The number of times I've "misclicked" or the game shows a guy landing on exploding drums, only for him to land next to exploding drums requires continous saving. Why can't you silently shoot exploding drums..

You also need to upgrade youir Crit chance with skills. At level 6+ you can get around 80%+ critchance and do 110 damage per shot (with two shots mod) or 130 damage per shot.

Where do you get the ambusher lite mod from ? Seen references online but not found where ?

[drusca]

search every map and you will find it.

[Never3den]

not helpful ! is it a random item or something in a specific place? or something you buy?

[PoppaG]

i think you can use non silenced snipers from far away so they dont ear you. i dont have plastic to try it. but it worked in corruption 2029 the second game of this type. the loud ones seem to have distance over the silenced version. try it )
