For a stealth operative, Silver's weapons are shockingly unsubtle!

[Bubbles the Soap Dragon]

Here's a bit of frustration-fueled feedback: the "X marks the spot" mission's stealth is agonizingly unreliable to salvage with Silver's only method of taking down an alerted target being melee against guards that are pretty darn fast to the trigger.

I feel like it would make sense in terms of gameplay and thematics alike if she simply packed a suppressor on one of her weapons. While I admit that there's a counterargument to be made about a big ol' skill issue, this mission stands rather uniquely in that you need to sneak it to be able to significantly sneak the mission that follows it. With its stealth being particularly fragile due to your lack of options when spotted, one single slip-up often means a whole lot more than almost any other mission's stealth.

Speaking of the dragon dogs, should I just be skipping Silver's recon mission if I want to grab the keycard and open all the vaults in peace for the heist? Can I do that?

You're supposed to do it will 1 strike at most, otherwise the heist guards will be upgraded. So, silenced weapons are not as useful here anyway.
