The silencer affects just about every gun. It does make the gun weaker though, it makes the range shorter. A shorter range means less damage from far away.

It does reduce damage.

However, sometimes I seriously question every aspect of this game, have you ever tried a Vector silenced??

It's nasty.

it does make it weak, especially shooting through walls with no FMJ...but I don't think it'll make that much of a difference when it's a visual impact instead of "shoot-thru-the-wall-hit"...

It makes the damage go low faster than normal...what I mean is

Take this for example,the first # is really close range,the second a bit farther,third a bit farther,and so on

Without silencer

100-----70----50---40---40---40---30--etc

With silencer


100-----65----40-----30---30-----30--etc

Not an accurate description but you know what I mean.

Some weapons,are affected differently by silencers. I think sniper's damage is reduced no matter what the range (ie:it did 100 damage @ point black,now with silencer it does 50 @ point blank) And the UMP is,in terms of damage reduction because of range,unaffected.


So,in general,it reduces recoil abit,cannot be seen in the map,reduces flash,but reduces the damage over range. So a silenced vs non silenced in Rust doesn't matter because its close range,but in Underpass it does matter because damage is reduced,but recoil is reduced too


Hope you get what I mean,English ain't my first language lol

It also reduces the size of the cross hair while using the intervention, not sure on the other guns, but it helps when in a sniping lobby with minimal health

Only sniper rifles and LMGs lose damage when putting on a silencer. (-20 damage for snipers and -10 for LMGs). Every other gun only loses range.

If you use a silencer itll reduce damage but i like using bling and adding fmj so it kind of cancels out the damage loss

And why are u doing that? FMJ is not stopping power. FMJ does more damage while shooting through a wall. An example:
A guy is behind a wall and u shoot at him.
With Stopping Power but without FMJ = 15 Bullets
With Stopping Power with FMJ = 10 Bullets
