Suppressors

[Bob Lee Swagger]

So I heard that you'll be adding suppressors, and to be honest I'm quite excited. So when asked before you said there will be multiple ammo types, and to kind of balance the suppressors out, I believe there should be supersonic and subsonic ammo, but you have to craft the subsonic ammo to get the "hollywood" whisper effect.

Silencers will not be available for firearms (see last interview with developers). If you want to have a weapon that can shoot silently, then you have to grab the spear or the bow (even if the bow is not really useful at the moment).

How stupid and unrealistic is this for a gun not to have a silencer 🙄

What makes a silencer realistic?

Is that a serious question! Do all forces not use guns with surpressors, seriously......

No mostly special forces....definately not prisoners on a tv show

Here's why I think suppressors would be a bad Idea.The detailed terrain in Scum provides a whole lot of hiding places.Even just going prone in thick grass renders players almost invisible.Adding suppressors to this kind of terrain would bring out a multitude of silent campers....invisible...and without a gunshot to gauge distance or location....GHOSTS.You will end up with one huge campfest driving other players to insanity.Even without a silenced weapon its already difficult to find a well hidden player.Look at other games WITH silenced weapons like Pubg or BF...the terrain has almost a third of the foliage of scum.....so that at least if you get damage from a certain direction you can spot them easily enough.The only silencer to even contemplate in scum would be a craftable single shot use one made from empty water bottle and cloth packing.......

AS Val is coming, and there is NO version of the gun without silencer

Silencer is OP. Definitively.

Sorry if I always mention it but only other my game.

In Arma 3 my k/d ratio is 0.8 to 1.5 with normal weapon in hd servers to 2 in more casual ones (yes im not so deadly).

With Kir, my preferred but OP weapon there, it rocket to 2.5/3.

So my tought is. Ok AS Val but as Kir it should be effective only up to 100 or even less meters and should be wayway rare.

[MILO]

Ps But I have to say Kir is a 12.7x54 mm sub round, so is one shot one kill no matter what.

AS Val should be lighter so this have to be took in consideration.

Wait and see.
I know that Bunny wrote in an article that there should be the VAL rifle and many more rifle scopes (it was even suggested to introduce laser optics), but in another article of a developer it was written that there will be no silencer and no target laser.

And I'm also of the opinion that in the last interview this was briefly discussed and denied

[Bob Lee Swagger]

But why shouldn't there be suppressors? As I said if you make it to where you have to craft subsonic ammo you'll have a shorter effective range but with the "whisper" effect, suppressors only lower the decibals on a supersonic round as well as distort the placement of muzzle blast, portaying it in a wider area than if it was unsuppressed where you get almost an exact location. Speaking of the asval/vss vintorez it's meant to accurately engage out to 400m with armor piercing 9x39mm SP-5/SP-6 rounds.

[Sith Lord]

the As Val and the Vss are both the same thing and are comming into the game . there is no version of either of these weapons without a silancer as its integrated as part of the barrel.

a waste of development time if you ask me, doing work on both for the game when when the only differance is one has a solid stock and the As Val has a skeletonized stock and can be folded back along the rifle

so if they add either or both of these they would have to add some other form of silencers to other weapons to ballance it out , i can only hope that the wear and tear on any form of silancers / supressors is heavy making them wear out faster , especially without the use of subsonic ammo

edit*
even if they are simply makeshift silancers where you might get 2 - 3 good shots before its useless , small water bottle and ducktape does the job

Crafting ammo is not that hard.Suppressors in Scum environment would be OP and you will have 20 players at least sitting and camping in a bush ruining the game for everyone else.As per my previous post

agreed +1

[fatesdeath]

camping in this game is part of it.... the term camping is ment for COD games where it is ment to be played by running all the time and never stopping the term camping is ment to be used as an insult and in this game its not one

but imo silencers will be too OP for this game like someone said there is already 1000 ways to hide adding that would Truely make people in to ghosts
