Silenced Weapons

[ocr111]

I think that there aren't enough stealth weapons in warframe and I think that you should be able to buy a suppressor for your weapons which you can equip so that when you shoot you don't get detected if you are trying to play stealthy. Also it would widen the range of stealth weapons, as well as this the "silencer" could come with some maybe some drawbacks e.g less damage or less range something along those lines. I would like for this to be introduced into warframe

I had that idea too. Awesome that you mention it. This feature is definitely a must(!), since there are a lot of players who love to play a stealthy assassin.

 

I'd say it should weaken the damage of the weapon slightly, so it isn't always good to run around with suppressors on your weapons.

[Tsukinoki]

It would have to weaken a weapon noticeably, such as 20% so that the actual stealth weapons are more viable in comparison even though you can now put a silencer on something like the Ogris or Ignis...

Beyond that a way to balance it would be that it *lowers* the range that enemies can hear the shot at. Not make it 0, just lower it further with each rank. That way the silent weapons are 100% silent still and wont alert someone right next to their friend, but a silenced gorgon wouldn't alert someone say 20 meters away, but within that range they would still hear it.

I think that it would be preferable if they just made more weapons balanced around being silent.

 

There's something of a can of worms when it comes to there being a modifier for weapons; I can imagine many weapons may lose their existing balance and feel.

 

The range being lowered is a decent idea, it might work as a rare mod.

Silenced Ogris FTW

If they make it a mod then it effectively already lowers your damage (or reload speed, mag size, fire rate etc.) since you will have to remove an existing mod to fit silencer.

 

Personally I'd prefer silenced variations of certain weapons, which in order to build you would need the silencer part and the original weapon, similar to building dual pistols.  The silencer could either be a construct-able item or perhaps a reward for stealthily completing certain missions.

Good idea but only a few weapons can have such a feature. Can you imagine a Hek with a suppresser on each of its barrels or Duel Bronco lol. But in all seriousness it would be nice since i play private sometimes and try to do missions as stealthy as possible.

Hush Puppy Suppressor for the Grakata!

 

Gives it extra damage and accuracy while being silent because it's cute. :3

[Xeiva]

I don't feel it fits the play style. It's only useful until you get detected and then silence means nothing.

@Aerostia

And I have found that a much easier way to 'stealth' through missions is to kill everyone before an alert is raised.

And anyways, stealth is actually counter productive as you get less affinity, less drops, less mods....

The only time its useful is when you need to get through a no-engery no-shield nightmare run as nova and loki.

Stealth is more fun and harder

[ClockworkSpectre]

I made a suggestion in another thread about this too, I would love to see some suppressed rifles, automatic and semi-auto.

[Venarge]

Adding silencers would just destroy the whole purpose of the real silent weapons so NO.

@AerostiaAnd I have found that a much easier way to 'stealth' through missions is to kill everyone before an alert is raised.

No kidding sherlock. When is the last time you made it through a mission without being detected and didn't play Loki or Ash? Using silent weapons like bows and throwing knives makes no difference if you don't play those classes.

[Tsukinoki]

@Aerostia
I've stealthed a mission as Nova and Frost and even Rhino before.  You just have to be careful and know how to determine enemy LOS and avoid it.

[misoru2012]

I think a better solution would be to add more versatile or a larger array of stealth weapons rather than 3 throwing blades and 3 bows.

+1 to this. I agree.

[ocr111]

I agree with misoru

[MozesBunny]

I too agree with misoru

It fairly easy to play a frost use a V-snipetron and never trigger the alarm. The reason I do that is on nightmare it make it take far less time to stealth run a grineer map without having triggered an alarm. It very easy to do no detection runs with the knives or bows on grineer maps, the other factions not so much.

 

I wouldn't mind a silencer mod or stuff like that but it would be better to just have more quiet weapons. The only problem DE will likely make the weapon terrible so if you do trigger the alarm you better hope that your other weapon can handle combat.

They could just ad a Mod titled Silencer for certain weapons that are viable in stealth. Snipetron Vandel would love this. lol

+1 here, I'd love a suppressor for weapons that you can buy.All the more reason to give it a cosmetic effect to each individual gun whereas a silencer mod would probably give the effects but never show the suppressor itself on the weapon.
