Sniper suppressor bug? Anyone else?

[Blunder Bro]

Sometimes, more often that not I get this thing where if I TP or leave game with suppressor taken off, when I next appear/join a game my gun won't let my attach suppressor.

For example, I am currently using the HTI and when I have taken it off with "F" to go loud I later do not have option to reattach it even when I had it on a moment ago.

The only way to reattach the suppressor is to go and directly edit the gun attachments. This only happens with sniper rifles. Never had this when I used to play a few years ago and I swear it wasn't here in last update. Is this recent? Are devs aware?

You need to own Skulls Suppressor, good luck finding it from the crates. When you start the game, take off suppressor, open menu or inventory, it tries to use that suppressor for your weapon. And if you do not own it, you're out of luck and need to manually attach suppressor from inventory. If you own it, you can just use F button.

That attachment messed up suppressors and how noise detection works for every weapon. You can make it so that your suppressed weapons aren't detected until closer than 5m to enemy.

Wow so it's a bs microtransaction item doing it...

Yeah I am not buying into those stupid crates. The tiering prestige system is good enough. Feels like I earnt things. Even if I keep getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥ hats, voice lines and emotes whilst my brother keeps getting legendary weapons, skins and vehicles.

How has it messed up noise detection exactly though? You mean the being able to not get detected really close?

It bugs out when you dismount suppressor, open menu/inv and mount suppressor again. If there's no "- suppressor" text next to your weapon's name, even though you have suppressor equipped then it uses your handgun's detection range, which is ~15m for pistols, except for Whisper, which has 5m range.

No idea if that bug also works without owning Skulls Suppressor.

Like in this random video https://youtu.be/ncQ-vyDYymI?t=72 notice how there's not suppressor text next to his weapon name, although it shows blue icon and has suppressed sound, normally that enemy ~33m away would get suspicious at that range.
