Silencers!!

[purrr]

why haven't these been added? It's really a needed addition and I think it should be added because:

-they're in the show
-new layer of realism
-allows more efficient sniping and killing

I think they can be bought from Daryl for 1,500. They are attachable to select weapons such as the Glock, ak47, and Barrett. This would add an element of surprise to the game. This would nerf the Barrett and buff the Glock & m9. kit assassin would have the same stuff, but with a silencer.


I suggested this earlier with not much response so I hope I do now. Thanks for reading!

(In my opinion) This idea isn't half bad although I find it would do no harm being added if the walker attraction idea was implemented as well. (Walker attraction idea: When walkers are attracted to gunshots or sprint jumping)

Me too. It could work out really well with the firecrackers I suggested in my Kit ideas post on the old forums. I might change it up and repost it here before the old website bites the dust.

Yep, this can all tie in to walker awareness. It's so annoying being 20 blocks away and- surprise- 30 walkers are attempting to murder you

This idea sounds like it should be added in the future. I think the silencer should be used for guns that have a barrel that can support it.

Great idea, that would be cool.

Like walkers get attracted to you in, say a 20 block radius, but when you fire a gun without a silencer walkers in a 50 block radius will be attracted to you. I think it would be very interesting to see that

yeah id love silencers to be added. I think if you attach one it should do slightly less damage, decrease range, and of course you wont be able to see the actual bullets firing which could come in handy in a sneak attack. I feel like there should be a bigger pay-off or better use for adding these because _Nickk said they had tested gunshots attracting walkers in the past but it can't be added because it causes a great deal of lag. But idk maybe they could somehow find a way around that.

The crafting dead was able to do it without much lag, and I'm sure you could add a plugin for it

A mod and a plugin are 2 very different things and they tested it before and said its caused lots of lag (the attracting walkers part if that's what u were talking about)

Support.

I like the idea of silencers reducing damage from some weapons.

Well, yea, that's a given. A silencer just slows a gun down so It doesn't break the sound barrier, I believe.

Yes, I know the difference. This is why TMD isn't a mod and TCD is.

All guns make a noise when fired (irl), even if they're silenced. It's just muffled.

If the guns still made a bit of noise, all you would have to do it turn the volume up and you could still hear them.

You might then say that they should be made completely silent, but then that's kinda op.

And IMO snipers are already strong enough.

You can easily camp and 1-shot most people with barretts and kill the others in a few shots.

If you see someone out in the open while you have a barrett and you're halfway decent there's no way they're gonna live.

 

[purrr]

The weapons used with silencers will be nerfed a decent bit, but only when said silencers are active. They would be completely silent, but that's why they would cost as much as they would. That way they can't put up their volume. IK it's muffled irl, but irl you don't have a volume button.

 

[Reezy0]

100% agree with the implementation of silencers, adds a whole new level of realism to the server. Good idea HyperScrub.

thanks rob

 

[DrinkYourMilk]

IMO I like this idea mainly because there would be new sounds to the guns and for some reason i really like the sound of a silenced gun. (especially the barret)

 

[killer2themx]

I definitely think this is a great idea, but first I really want to see walkers attracted to gun shots and also gun shots to be louder and heard by other players. If neither of these are implemented, I don't see the point personally.
