Does silencer reduce damage significantly?

#1

I got strong feeling about silencer does reduce significantly damage output of rifles. It’s not described in modification screen.

#2

I’ve often wondered the same thing myself. In my mind, it should but i’m not sure it does.

#3

i think its not reducing it

I dont think Illfonic even thought about that tbh, the stats doesnt change when you change mods on weapons. Silencers in most games usually give a small damage reduction to balance out the posititves it gives, in this game, the sounds bubble…but ehm yeah…

That should be a thing tbh. It would make it a gameplay choiche rather than a straight upgrade. Go full stealth but sacrifice a bit of damage or use the knife.

Same can be done with large mags. More ammo per mag but maybe slower reload speed.

Yeah its what most games to date has done, its the basic stuff, and they didnt even get that right. Im truly starting to wonder if Illfonic even plays PVP games at all, becasue some of their decisions are just mindblowingly bad at times.

Most of us in here knows why its logic to have this reduce that, this piece buff that, the other nerfs that, in order to achieve a balance. Illfonic has done nothing of the sort, all they are doing is nerfing base stats on the few weapons we have, and it seems like they cant decide.

Combistick got nerfed what…3 times now?`Just goes to show they cant seem to figure it out.
