Is there a list for "silent" weapons?

[Ed t'Klr]

I am playing an assassin character and I want silent weapons.
So far I used the .22 pistol, varmint with silencer (and scope), throwing knifes and spears.
All and all I know that all melee and unarmed weapons are silent and some guns can be modded to become silent.

I want to know what energy weapons and explosives are, or can become, silent.

You can’t silence energy weapons or explosives, but you can use stuff like mines or C4 for stealth builds.

Ratslayer is a silenced sniper rifle that's fairly easy to obtain early. Christine's CoS Silenced Rifle is my favorite sniper rifle, but it's in the Old World Blues DLC.

I'd really like a silent laser weapon..
Well, I'll try out the mines.

Thanks!

You may not know this but even with the anti material rifle's supressor you can still be heard if are within a certain distance of the enemy. Not that many enemies can survive a shot when hit with a sneak crit.

A shotgun with flechette rounds acts as a silenced weapon.

Try it out. It is not a silenced weapon. The silencer on that hing in general is not making the weapon silent, it only slightly decreases the radius enemies will be able to find you after one shot.

and this is again not true if you look in geck/FNVEdit you can see if the Silencer attach on the Weapon is the Rifle Silent

and if the enemy finds you after a shot you have bad aim or snipe in a house

on the other hand fallout have a pathetic stealth mechanic

Well, there is one laser pistol that can be added by Equipment section of Project Nevada mod.

There are also:
- .22LR Silenced SMG;
- 9mm Pistol Silencer;
- 10mm Pistol Silencer;
- 12mm pistol silncer;
- 12mm SMG silencer;
- Sniper Rifle Silencer;
- Anti-Material Rifle Silencer;
- Lily Rifle (it's silenced Assault Rifle, but idk correct name and how you can get it).

Btw, there is Nukapedia (Fallout wiki) where you can see ALL WEAPONS and equipment that available in game. Simply type "fallout new vegas weapons" or "fallout new vegas armor" in Google and it will give you links to pages with all info.

You can get it without Wild Wasteland.

no mention of nail gun? its pretty good

Grenade Rifle is silent... 40 mm Grenades that it uses... Not.
Energy weapons logicaly are silent... Their beams are visible though, so they are treated as loud weapons.

[ShockedHearts]

With sneak you can plant armed explosives into enemies pockets. as long as you get out of sight the enemies wont know it was you. they will still be cautious though.

sniping a guy silently and then planting a bomb into the pocket of the guy near me quickly is what i like to call "aggressive stealth"
