Silent Suppressors?

[Ewil]

Are there any vanilla or mod SUPPRESSORS that is 100% silent for zombies?
I guess having a suppressor is sneaky against players but the zombies seams to hear every damn suppressor i use, lol

Supressors are allways an issue in games. it is so hard to get it right.
In movies they are often portrayed as a discreet "cough" as the round is
sent out.. This is Very far from the truth with a VERY few exceptions of
"factory ported" weapons like the MP5 SD.
Cans that screw on to the muzzel end of a Rifle/SMG/Pistol actually "Change" the sound more than make it quieter, especially with rifles. To get "serious" noise reduction you need the following..... Port the WHOLE barrel of the weapon, (this is for rifles and some SMG's)
Then you need to attach a "sleeve" around it to catch the expanding gasses...
Combine this with subsonic ammo and you can get a reasonable amount of noise
reduction from more powerful weapons like rifles. Fact is they are still far from "silent".
I am considering a mod to enable you to set up a rifle in the way i described...
If i can ever make the time...

DayZ had a couple of very good suppressed weapons but they were removed and have not been returned. They were the bow and the crossbow......

I seriously hope you are still committed about befriending our new forum visitor or i'll silent suppress you.


See how that sound.

Suppressors always worked weirdly in DayZ. The most effective used to be the pistol ones, but even those would trigger Zeds anyway if you didn't score an instant killing head shot. Then one of the last patches made Zed react to bullet impact point, so they would get excited whenever a shot landed. I cannot tell for sure how it exactly works currently, since then I almost always meleed them and resorted to firearms only once I got the attention of a large crowd already.

Rifle suppressors are still quite loud and only work at distance, but apparently the same "one shot" rule applies. I remember testing the integrally suppressed VSS, and due to the damage output of the 9x39mm rounds only center of mass hits would kill a zombie outright, non lethal limb shots would still alert them.

Suppressors irl are not anywhere near silent. The game approaches reality here, therefore it would be logic for infected to hear them also. Suppressors are intended to make it harder to be located from a distance and by other players.


Infected will also react to voicechat btw. You can even lure them away by throwing rocks etc although i'm suffering a bit of a formatC on the brain atm but i could swear i done that a couple of times in dayz.

Or lure them where a grenade landed

I always save one for the tents when I visit NWAF

Theoretically, the smaller rounds would be quieter. Mix in a suppressor and it should be the quietest weapon you'll get. Meaning the .22 pistol would be the best for that. Not sure it does the job though. Remember, there's two things that suppressors are meant to do, quiet a shot enough to be safe to shoot without ear protection and reduce the distance the shot can be heard from. Neither of those purposes includes preventing things from hearing the shot from close range.

No

You invite me then you don't...

I figure that's why you post messages and delete them soon after too. Must be a hobby of some sort. You can do whatever you like as far as i care but you shouldn't make people with good intentions feel bad because of it. You don't make your problem other people's problem.

Not that you're any problem to me. I'm just ensuring the lad shouldn't feel bad about anything because as far as i know he didn't do anything wrong. I'll guess you have your reasons but i for sure know the difference between a good reason and a prick move.

suppressors are fine atm...anyway it depends more on the rounds you're firing than on the suppressor itself.
if you're firing a 9mm (supersonic) with suppressor the chances of being heard are higher than with a .45 (subsonic).
9x39 (subsonic) is also fine for silent kills.
silent kills with an M4 or an Ak work from a range of approximately 50 meters.

the premise for all this is oc a oneshot kill (preferably to the head).
as soon as one shot misses or you have to shoot twice others will be alerted.
(that's why a .22 is useless for silent kills - you need at least two shots, even to the head, to kill a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ zed)

MKII is probaby the quietest gun ingame as its intergally suppressed and uses subsonic .22lr rounds but its damage is pathetic and wont even kill a zombie in a single headshot.

.22lr, .380 auto,.45acp and 9x39 are all subsonic cailbers that when paired with a suppressor make it harder for zombies to find you as they cant hear the supersonic crack of a normal bullet meaning if you miss the zombie will run to the bullet impact point instead of where it sounds like the bullet came from.

I dont think there is an overall compleatly silent gun but beaing a distance away from any other infected and shooting with a suppressor should be enough most times.


personally .380 auto is my choice of subsonic round but the .45acp is more popular due to more power and the FNX pistol is extreamly common and customisable.

Currently no one has done a real comprehensive sound guide to guns

I use the USG-45 for silent kills most of the time.

This. Suppressed UMP is easily one of those weapons you want to hold onto, very reliable in most situations. Sadly it seems a lot harder to find in 1.09, but ammo is everywhere.

You are the one who scared me, with your comment. You more or less makes a threat. The way you wrote, sounds like you are some freaky stalker or something? And the other guy.... are you his family or caretaker or something?
You were the one who took up the issue of "if he sings he will get KOS" - You freaked me out totally, and then when I erase my comments, you go on about a "♥♥♥♥ move"?
It is you who is creepy a.f., and you defend the other guy like he is a weirdo or phycopath or a freak....

Stop with the weird ♥♥♥♥ plz, i dont need this in my life right now....

I scare you so you treat other people like dirt. Make sense. It's all clear now.


Tbh my cat sounds better than the lad but you are the one deleting posts without explanation. Don't turn the tables on me my friend i see you and i just happened to witness the real reasons for your second division class actions too.

Welcome to the steam forums huh? Any particular reason that you wanna share other than the obvious there pal? No i don't know the lad but i sure getting to know you. Have a taste of your own medicine and i don't care if you're butthurt either. Don't get funny on me now.

[koffiepot]

You shouldn't go offensive.. You should keep calm and act cool instead. . I mean like really cool, not like the ignorant little prick you are now. Listen buddy and listen carfully..

The ONLY reason for you to delete your posts is because YOU initially failed to pay full attention and after i posted you suddenly had second thoughts and now you're trying to blame me for it.

Let me me phrase your feelings about your reasons why in your own words smartass; "weirdo, phycopath,rfreak".

Why? Because you failed to notice his first video? Because you're stupid? Immature? Or just because people, unlike you, are not afraid to try and be themselves?


Do me a favor. Read his posts again and just you try imagine how the fella must feel when he noticed you deleted your befriending and come back when you do you little psychopath prick.

@koffiepot & Ewil, your BOTH getting a little off topic and hijacking the thread here....
