[All platforms] - [Weapons/Attachments] - The Weapon Suppressor/Silencer doesn't need to affect weapon damage ratio.

#1

This is actually found in most video games, and is not depicted correctly at all, is a sign of poor execution overall and discrepancy with the technicality of firearms.

As long as the game has weapons/arsenal that depicts or needs to depict/replicate as close as possible to the real ones and technicalities along with physics, the suppressor needs to at least not alter the weapon damage at all. In reality, an attachment as a suppressor to a weapon has a boosting effect. Boosting accuracy and reducing recoil.

Every person who has literally wielded an actual firearm knows this. And since the game development has also folks from the United States in its team (credits say it) your ability to use and handle firearms can test that in a safely manner.

This would not hinder or affect or mess with the balance of the game, at all. As not all firearms can actually equip a silencer and the Hunters actually have a lot of gain generally.

yeah for some reason the devs thought suppressors needed a downside since they make thermal vision not capable of seeing the noise bubbles when equipped which is just mind numbing

when you could say equip Sixth sense which auto marks all predator gear but it has no downside aside from equipping it?

or OWLF being more difficult to see in thermal but he has no downside of being alive because he can still wear visible camo

or even equipping the perk that removes sound bubbles for ft which again has no down side aside from equipping it

Is not an issue. The game still has audio queues at least, and direction indicators, as the weapons are not completely silent.

Even if it would be an issue, sound indicators can be made to pop up if the Hunter is at very close range from the FT members.

The hunters still have an upper hand in many ways so…

They have to have the suppressors have less damage other wise there would be no reason to NOT use them… also this isn’t a bug this belongs in the feedback section

#5

Given, as it is explained there, that a suppressor should do the opposite it does in the game. I think is pretty much a bug.

After all, these guns need to replicate real live ones, otherwise the fireteam could as well as be shooting BB guns.

Is a general stupid thing you find in video games as “tweaks” for balancing, but here is no point. And it does not hinder balance at all. Feedback of firing guns are still there for the Hunter anyway. Is not like is unbalanced in any way if they fix this.
