Does silencer reduce dmg? weapon stats shows that it isn't, but based on expirience...

Yes, at range.

I have a silencer on my DSG-1 Sniper and it still is a 2-shot kill/1-shot to the head. Damage, for me anyways, is only really reduced when attached to automatic weapons.

Hi, the silencer doesn't reduce the base damage of a weapon but it does increase the damage falloff over distance.

Cheers

No. Simply put the silence only reduces effective range if that. A Cloak Silenced Pistol shot to the head consumes 10-20 energy and well leave you remaining cloaked. While a DSG Silenced kill will consume 70-80 energy, but 9/10 times kill the target when aiming for exposed jelly or the head.

A silenced Scarab is highly inaccurate at range, hip firing, or laser sighted. Use the sights and Burst fire, 3-5 shots.

good to know until I started using the silencer I had no idea you could shoot while cloaked. I still haven't used the silencer much though as it also lowers mobility a tick i think.
