Make Silencers Great Again !

[Guest]

One thing I hate about DayZ is that silencers at this very moment are useless when fighting against zombies. The only good ones that work are the VSS and the Wolf AR 15, but if you dare you a pistol with a silencer, it will act like it doesn't have one and attract the whole town on you.

I would rather have silencers that have a shorter lifespan but actually work (similar to Metal Gear Solid) than have an item that is only useful against players but useless against the main enemy of this world, the infected.

For this I propose one of these 2 mods I found around :

Other suggestions or ideas regarding this are always welcome !

I agree, but as far as I am aware suppressor are bugged right now, hence the reason they don't work on infected. Bohemia mentioned that they are aware of the problems and that's it's something that they were going to fix in the upcoming update along side the inventory bug, but know Bohemia they'll probably find a way to mess it up.

Regardless, something needs to be done about suppressors, especially now that the zombinos have been made stronger. I don't mind the Zombies being the way they are right now, but the whole town seems to agro on my the second I make any noise whatsoever.

Shoutout to the Amphibia-S being the only suppressed pistol that actually works (takes two headshots to kill a zed, but never alerts the others. As long as you don't miss).

I'd agree to the silencers being made a little more efficient at suppressing the gunshots (though I do feel like the metal clacking of the gun should still alerts zeds close enough to hear that). Looking at both those mods I do see that they'll also have increased health/durability, which seems a little less desirable. But for the gameplay's sake, I could get over that to have silencers actually function the way they're supposed to according to the game.

The wolf ar15 is kinda suppressed. If you just shoot once it won't attract all the infected in the town.
It will only attract more infected if you fire a couple of rounds and even then not all will come.

The only real reason why they come after you if when they spot you or hear the other infect aggro on you.

 

Now I would also agree that the other guys need some kind of better suppressor. ATM if you shoot once with any other gun infected will come charging from miles away.

I actually learned this the hard way about the suppressors being bugged, shot at one infected and the whole damn town of infected just took it to me.

It would be nice to have this fixed for sure.

It's suppressor.

 

But yes, they should be more effective, it's hard to balance and prior fixes have stopped working.

I've never ever use a silencer in Dayz, not once, for this exact reason. 

I enjoy the fact that if players shoot in a town, at least on Livonia, a real horde can come alive. And for once, you actually have to be careful when and where you shoot. So having usable silencers would make a ton of sense.

I cant imagine finding the right silencers for your gun, taking out just the one and only zombie you need to kill to get out of town, and have a hell spawn open up on you.

I think the fact that the vote currently stands at 27 for and 0 against makes this the only thing I've seen the community completely agree on.

Edit: 41-0

The reason is that it's not working as intended and obviously broken. I wouldn't understand if someone voted against fixing something that's not working as intended, unless it was the now fixed "unlimited duct tape" bug.

The first time i used one before knowing they were broken or whatever. I was swarmed. Not even worth picking up other than cosmetic reasons at the moment. Hope to see it fixed soon

Yep. Killed a chicken with a supressed .45 (subsonic) and got gang fucked by zombies lol
