Hey guys just a quick question. Does the silencer actually do anything except change the sound when your firing? Like as far as making you less seen on radar or anything? Is it just to sound cool and feel stealthy or does it actually do something lol
Also what exactly does the Gauss attachment do. Can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks!

yes it reduses the sound from your gun it also alows you to stay cloked when fireing in singel shot mode (cost energy to do so thow)

I didn't know that thanks.

np the sapresser works pest for stelth baced classes like a sniper also energy transfer complaments the sapreser sniper combo cuse once you kill then youl restory you suit energy alowing you to stay cloced longer

Thanks guys good to know! As for staying cloaked during single shot mode that applies to the sniper too right?

Only if your energy is almost full. Depending on your modules, it takes around 70-80 energy per silenced shot for a sniper rifle, when you're cloaked..

this isn't for multiplayer is it? you guys are talking about the campaign?

It can be for both multi and single player.

what weapons? tested scarab single shot cloak and it immediately uncloaks after the shot

okay good to know thanks. But other then single shot mode... Nothing else it's good for? Just because I was wondering to use it for my scarab but I am using the Grenade attachment and not single shot.

It keeps you off radar and reduces muzzle flash and I think recoil but reduces damage per bullet over range

Yeah, basically it just keeps you off the radar... As far as recoil is concerned, there is very slight difference between suppressed or not but is hardly noticeable, EXCEPT for the DSG-1, which does affect the rate of fire a little bit more.

Maltrophstitan is right about reduced damage over range, even though in the 'weapon stats' screen it doesn't say it decreases damage. I can personally vouch for the FELINE and SCARAB to lose range with the suppressor attached.

The DSG-1 doesn't seem to be affected by the range though, because 2 body shots or 1 to the head will kill with or without the suppressor.

Overall it is a pretty sweet attachment, probably one of the best. They are nothing like the CoD suppressors which drastically affect weapon damage thus making it quite an advantage... all you lose is 1 bar of mobility.

The suppressor is only good for keeping you from showing up on radar. I personally only use in on my Feline class. Any other weapon isn't worth the range loss.

I find it almost pointless to use on any automatic weapon as it only seems to decrease bullet damage. Soon as you fire on someone they know you are there silenced or not, and the damage locators and things like enemy tracer add on will give away your position, so better just to go unsilenced and go straight from cloak to armour just before you fire IMO and deal out extra damage. You'll probably get return fire just as quick with or without it.
