Any Reasons To Choose Supressor over Compensator?

[BirdOfPray]

This question bugged me in ins source and I wonder the same here. Are there any logical reasons for wasting 3 points in suppressor rather than a compensator?

I've noticed that for long range engagements upon a pack of enemies strolling about, they don't appear to notice shots that hit one of their team mates or even miss when I use a suppressed assault rifle.

Without a suppressor, the rest of the pack will instantly duck for cover when they hear the first gunshot from an unsupressed rifle. In terms of TTK or body damage, the suppressor seems to have no difference unlike other tactical shooter games.

For CQB situations, a suppressed weapon won't alert enemy AI hiding in other rooms to your presence but seems to make the overall weapon longer, making handling it difficult in really tight corners and cramped stairwells.

That's my personal observation for the pre Nov 8th update; I haven't tried suppressed weapons since then. Hope this helps. :-)

As far as AI is concerned, they won't hear you from ~10m if you fire a suppressed weapon. Players can hear suppressed shots from a lot further away than the AI can, so I'd say for co-op it's worth it but for MP it's not unless you're specifically trying to play a stealth role and attack flanks from mid-long range.

Thanks for the info ^^

Surpressor not suppose to reduce body damage even irl... if someone shoot u in the head using a pistol with silencer then thats mean u only wound and wont die? It only reduce the range...

IRL it doesn't even do that, unless you use subsonic ammo.
Supressors are basically a barrel extension - they don't take away from anything.

After the Nov 8th update suppressors dont help when in co-op as much as they used to. Now they seem to always know where you are.

A ♥♥♥♥ ton of people play against bots, in fact the amount of people playing against bots is usually higher when i go to join a game. Playing both is fun, really hard bots are good for practice plus you get more points to kit up so you can get extra ♥♥♥♥ including drum mags, which btw why arent drum mags available in regular mp?
