Suppressed fire is not silent
corroborated
Short answer
Treat suppressors as signature reduction, not invisibility.
Also: suppressor · sound
What to do
Nearby players can still detect shots and other combat cues. Suppressor condition, ammunition/weapon behavior and distance matter. Do not build strategy around opponents hearing nothing.
How it works
Treat suppressors as signature reduction, not invisibility.
