Supressed M133
Well, I noticed after over 200 hours of play, that if you go to customize the M133 shotgun, the gun animates in the store, no other gun in FC3 does this, and what you see is a flashing supressor on the end of the barrel, as if it was intended to be on the bull, kind of like the glitch in FC4 with the Magnum, and the Cannon, as the assets are there, but mess up when used together. Is there any hint that this may be an unimplimented supressed shotgun that was cut? Please, someone let me know, I can't be the only one to have noticed this.

I checked the game's files and the M133 does have the suppressor attachment in its properties file. The only thing that prevents you from equipping it to the shotgun is that there is no store file for that attachment on that gun.

If the attachment is in the weapon's file it's likely that it was an intended feature but was probably cut at some point during development. I would assume it's because a suppressor on a shotgun is too unrealistic.

Because Far Cry is a perfect representation of real life, and a supressed shotgun was too crazy for it, but thank you, that was picking at my brain for a while.

I believe there are suppressed shotguns in Far Cry 4, so obviously not. But they decided against it for Far Cry 3 for some reason. That's the only reason I can think of, since the shotgun suppressors are fully implemented and functional, other than the missing store files.
Is there any way to add the missing files, to gain access to the supressor? I'd ery much like to have one. And the Bull in FC4 is supressed, and IRL there are supressed shotguns, they're just less loud.

Yeah, it's very easy to make store files using the mod tools. A few compilation mods have done it, but you won't find a mod that does only that.
Darn, well thanks for your helpful words of wisdom, also how have you play nearly 700 hours of FarCry3?

Most of that time was spent testing my mod. I've been working on it for over three years, and I'm still working on major updates for it.

Wait, you're "that" Ziggy, I've seen your name on Nexus before, small world.

Yep. That's how I know so much about the game. I am the only active modder left on this game.

Really, you're the only one left, huh? It's a real shame, FC3 is agreat game, better than FC4 IMO, but it is almost 4 years old now, so I guess it's bound to happen.

People used to make mods for Far cry 3, but everything changed when the FC4 nation attacked...
You are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Filth, that is all.

I still have this problem actually, i want to get rid of it cuz i don't really wanna see a silencer on shotgun, i want a vanilla version of far cry 3. Any suggestions or help with that how do i fix this problem? Maybe i should edite some file or something like that, please help, I'll be very thankful (Btw i have a uplay version of the game, not the steam copy)
necromancy is illegal

also, you can't actually use the suppressor, it's a visual bug left over from testing and spaghetti code, you could remove it but it wouldn't really change much

I know, i just want to remove it any help? (I own a legal copy of the game on Ubisoft Connect)
