I can confirm that suppressor does not decrease report of M4A1.

I have noticed this as well.

I have gotten my hands on a pristine suppressor, and it still doesn't decrease the loudness

What are you expecting the suppressor to do? make the gun silent?

Suppressors work by reducing the sound created by firing a bullet so that it cannot be heard at longer distances. They also slow the velocity of bullets to prevent super sonic cracks.

wow such loud

much confirmed
                 no pristine
       wow

Vollinchen - I own suppressors, I don't expect the report to match the unsuppressed gun at any damage level

cockmangledcheezewhiz, this is not a forum.

The notes are to be used for helping with bug problems only, do not abuse this feature.

Thanks.

Can confirm found a pristine suppressor today. Low and behold it does not reduce the sound at all.

Confirmed, 0.30.113860.

I have noticed this as well

Silencers reduce draw of zombies. suppressors in real life don't make a gun of high caliber completely silent only reduces velocity. This isn't Call Of Duty. Welcome to the real world kids.

They sound the same because they use the same sound. The devs are using placeholder sounds. It will be fixed in a later patch

Confirmed. Still loud even with my pristine condition suppressor.

yeh,it stops the sound like 1/30 i tested with another player

I can confirm that suppressor does not work, I have two of them but non of them are working...

-Confirmed and tested with pristine 556 suppressor.
-Removed and fired M4 without suppressor as a control in each test.
-Tested with 3x player at various distances (roughly): 50 meters, 100m, 200m.
-Tested while shooting towards and away from players.
-Tested while used inside various buildings.
-Tested using various magazine sizes: 10, 20, 30(both types), 40, and 60 coupled.

RESULTS: ~Not Working~ Doesn't function in any way shape or form, currently just a gun aesthetic.

I have this too

Maybe you need SD ammo to make it suppressed?

Does it affect muzzle flash?

@Dogmeat

I sincerely hope not, SD ammo was by far one of the most annoying oversights of ARMA/DayZ mod. To create a game on a "realistic" simulation engine and then insinuate that only subsonic ammunition could be used through a suppressor ... developers, if you're reading this, please don't repeat the mistake.

And suppressors in the game do not affect flash from my testing.

Confirmed.

And please, make regular ammo work with supressor.

We found a pristine supressor and I'm pretty sure it did work. I can confirm that the badly damaged supressors definatly do not work as i have tried my self. Could be one of those lamp bugs once u change server the supressor doesnt work...

Would like to vote down because of reporting a damaged silencer
wheras good discusion undearneath

Suppresors don't remove bullet velocity - supersonic crack still audible. Tested with a friend who listened for bullets passing by.

Would be nice to see later on maybe a silencer crafted from a diesel of petrol filter as a temp silencer (Quick degrade )

and military grade to slowly degrade over time ?

These are suppressors, not "silencers".

A suppressed M4 compared to standard.

Although a rifle will certainly not be silent with a suppressor attached, I do believe the change in sound levels has yet to be implemented.

Hey guys,

this is a known issue. The sounds are still a work in progress and aren't functioning properly.

Thank you for your reports though!

Still not working on 6/1/14

comfirmed, tried it with every possible condition of a suppressor.

I was in the hospital at Elektro and my friend was in the school/office building and he could still hear it as if he was inches away from me.

Suppressors are useless in the current build. Confirmed.

Can confirm

Accolyte said, "Hey guys,

I can confirm too i got a M4A1 with a suppressor 556 every part of the M4A1 are pristine (exept bipod) and the sound is still the same with or without the suppressor when i shot.

I can confirm silences DO NOT STOP ZOMBIES COMING TO YOU AT ALL i have killed over 60 plus zombies in about 20 to 30 mins with a suppressor on going through the map they do not work at all and it is very annoying

Same for .45

Suppressor doesnt work with any of the guns, haters downvoting a real issue

that bullshit m4 supresor is just for cosmetics

FNX supressor also doesnt work...

Confirm

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA IT'LL NEVER GET FIXED!! MY PLAN WILL SUCCEED AND I WILL NUKE CHERNARUS WITH MY FISTS OND DAY WHEN THE GAME SUPPORTS STEAM WORKSHOP AND CAPS ARE KEWL!!

jk. I hope the sounds get updated some day in the near-future

Supressors still not working with latest patch (46.124490)

Hi everyone,
this has been implemented and should be fixed after the upcoming update on Experimental.
Thank you all for your feedback.
Regards,
Andy
