Better Suppressors

In this mod, It makes suppressors quieter and more durable. I think that having a suppressor on a weapon doesn't do much but add a pleasing sound effect, which this changes since shooting a weapon with a suppressor still attracts zombies from 2 miles away.

I'm not sure about this. Part of me wants a better suppressor but what will another mod do to the game/server? We already do get unexplained crashes

We have already increased durability of suppressors 3 times the vanilla default in our own DayZRP mod. I didn't know one can modify their sound though, might be an idea if the silenced weapons are still loud.

From my experience is that the agro range of zombies is the same silenced or not

Notice me boss !

Yes, as of now, the only silencers/suppressors that work are from the Wolf AR15 and VSS Vintorez. There are some caveats(if you shoot at a wall or shoot too fast, there is a chance zombies aggro towards the shot or towards the person shooting).

But any other silencer/suppressor are useless against zombies, so if you could reduce the aggro range that would be amazing

Back in legacy, if you had a suppressor no zombie would case you. Bring this back

+1 is there a way to do this?

Yeah, the mod that was suggested does this.

But would it make sense? Supressors are supposed to reduce sound, not make weapons completely silent. Infected are mostly based off of hearing, if we make suppressors make 0 sound, then we're back to zombies not being a threat.

Agree with this,

Realistically, suppressors aren't actually that quiet, and they are most useful at long range to conceal your position, surely you lot can't expect to shoot a suppressed weapon 50 feet away from an infected and expect them not to hear it?

Look up videos of suppressed weapons, they're still extremely loud.

I agree with @CrescentGent, I quite enjoy the zombies being a threat. Suppressors do help reduce the sound of weapons and it does help, and even though the zombies still get attracted, I feel like they get less attracted to the sound of the suppressed shot depending on which suppressor you use. I've found that the Russian guns when suppressed the sound is lowered but not silenced, which is better than it being 'silenced' in my opinion.

The problem at hand is that if you use a suppressed gun, it will attract the entire town of zombies on to you, it's like having no suppressor. The idea is to lower that zombie aggro distance to a much shorter one, so that if you end up attracting a zombie, it's close to you, and not on the other side of the town.

+1 from me. Suppressors are almost useless at this point. Make them great again.

[Player 1]

Currently, suppressors are simply for players or cosmetic. And since infected are too strong, this could be a great balance. +1

The only silenced weapon that I've noticed not causing massive zombie aggro is the integrally suppressed PB pistol. I assume this is a modded weapon and the modder did some config magic to make it more silent to the zombies. If we can change suppressors back to being at least a bit effective, that would be really nice to have.
