Are gun silencers/suppressors working as intended?

[Alex]

Gunfire still draws them from miles away.

I'm afraid so.

Same here.. it feels like its totaly nevemind if you using a suppressor because you pull Z from far far away to you.

They are not working at all, one shot draws same attention with one or without one. So yea, Devs may want to take a look at it for sure.

i feel that they are, if i shoot a Z near me i got maybe 3-4 extra turn up
if i shoot one further away i get 5-7
if i pull out the shotgun, i get 10+

there will always be a certain sound level and it could be looked at if enough people post on it,
the only ranged effective silent method is bow/arrow
you can head shot a Z and the one next to it ignores the shot :)

Edit, i tested it. fired sks with and without a suppressor and found the "Z" only came when fired without

It is common knowledge that the silencers at present don't work.

Might be a case of the silencers are not broken, since the update lowering noise of the car, the hearing of the zombies has increased. Seem to get their attention much easier on foot or crouch walking, even with full hygiene being clean.

Just used silencer again, 10+ zombies attacked me from distance. In real life no way they would have heard the pistol. Point proven, for me any way.

ok, i did this
went in an area with zombies and used gun with silencer to kill all in sight and the ones that turn up.
then fired gun into ground, none turn up?
then looked for zombie in distance, fired at ground, he ignored it
didnt move, removed silencer, fired at ground and it turned and came towards me.



if we're getting different results im wondering if its game settings so that zombies actually spawn in to any gun noises?

because other than nature there is no background noise to detract from a suppressor being fired i guess, noise is noise and maybe this games type of zombies are more alert to noise?

just a question, where are real life zombies?

[Falonious]

Where are all the real life zombies you ask. As an Aussie, from here it looks like the answer is one is in the oval office, The Whitehouse.
