Silenced melee kills?

[Hurkaleez]

Anyone know what(if any) melee weapons allow you to make silecned kills? I know sledgehammer does not (LOL makes sense I guess) but to my surprise the Chinese Officer's Sword does not either.

UPDATE: Deathclaw Gauntlet just let me do a silenced kill, I wonder if all unarmed are like that?

for sure if you are hidden status and you oneshot the enemy it will be silent. i can think those as main factors

Super-Sledge does not work nor does the Chinese Officer Sword. I am asking which weapons allow you to do a silent kill if hidden when you 1 shot.

I've been able to beat someone to death silently with a baseball bat. It took 4 hits and he was waking up at the time.

Hmm, I alert nearby enemies when I use some melee weapons to 1 shot an unaware enemy even though my stealth is super high and they have no LoS. I will mess around more using quicksave and try to figure it out.

Using a silenced sniper rifle i can take out an isolated guy and everyone in the base who have no LOS still manage to all go to caution instantly. Its just not designed to not be completely silent.

It might be a sound range thing. For the only enemies were a room or two away when I beat him. Do we know if shooting a silent gun right next to someone will alert them?

Haven't played a melee build in fo4 yet, but if this is like other fallout games, it is fast-very fast melee weapons and must be done in quick succession (vats), else other enemies will be alerted

Yup. By alert I mean they go into caution mode.

The reason I posted is because some weapons do in fact allow silenced kills. At least when I quicksave and experiment with different types some allow them, others do not. Guess I will have to post a list since there doesn't appear to be one.

This blade does - It doesn't say so when inspecting it, but when you try and upgrade it, it tells you that there's increased damage from sneak-attacks :)

I really enjoy that knife :)
Ran into the house while exploring, have used it for some time now..
Combine it with perks that boost sneak-attacks and such; and you'll be set for what ever you want :)

So a slow weapon that 1 shots will alert?

Tried the Stealth Blade Combat Knife?

if you manage to do a special animation kill (very near the enemy) it should be silent also. You mentioned the chinese sword, it does a silent kill if done with the animation.

That thing is great.

I did not know blitz was that good though.

What I am saying is that the mechanics of the game do not generally allow completely silent kills in the way you are describing. There may be some weapons which seem to work at times but I would be honestly really surprised to see a weapon that can kill someone without alerting the rest of the camp to caution level. I think they somehow hear the body fall...
