Suppressor

[Vis Armata]

Usually, the focus is on Heavy Assault, Anti-Vehicular or some other sexy cert. I don't want to talk about those.

I don't know about everyone else, but I thought the Suppressor would be some sort of special-ops weapon, not the standard-issue, straight-out-of-the tube weapon it is currently.

If you could change the Suppressor, how would you do it? Would you change it at all?

Discuss.

I would let infiltrators use it with an additional cert point investment. It is somewhat silent and it is barely more than a pistol, so I think it would be a great, but not overpowered addition to the infiltrator.

You kidding me that would make cloakers "snipers" that gun has great accuracy at range (not trying to be a dick). besides that thing would make damn near every person in this game a cloaker.
EDIT: I use the gun for my 1 2 punch as a sniper if I'm at medium range but far enough out so that most weapons are useless I first hit with the bolt then finish them off withthe suppesor (Iknow the spelling is off)

Yes it would be. Good lord, it's already the machine gun equivalent of a sniper rifle. If you allow the user to be semi-invisible as well...

Eh, I like it where it is. SOMETHING has to be the basic pud gun after all.

EDIT: JL's super-fast posting skills suck

There are a lot of cloakers out there but most of them suck balls at being one

if you you did give them the Suppersor it would be murder getting out of the spawn tube, think about it, u have just got out of the tube, now its equal 1 on 1 Cloaker vs Freshly Spawned trooper, both have no armour BUT the other guys invisble and your DL isnt ready. WHo wins?

You do, because you do have armor (50) and the cloaker lit up like Christmas when you spawned into the room.

I purposely run around with nothing but a suppressor when I feel like challenging myself. It's just powerful enough to get some kills, but not powerful enough to allow me to just go charging at the enemy. If you can get good with a suppressor you'll be great with your empire specific medium assault.

What I would do is make the Suppressor when shooting someone, not show the recipient where the bullets are coming from. After all, it is supposed to have a silencer on it. This would give it an interesting use w/out making it too good

[EarlyDawn]

Make the supressor the "SOPMOD" of Planetside. The only gun that initially, will accept attachments. Flashlights, laser sights, a scope... Make it a specialist gun. Swappable parts in the implant terminal.

See now, THESE ideas rule. Post them to the official wishlist, guys.

[DeadTeddy]

cute ideas, but not really all that usefull. our friend LNS here is probably an AA:SF player like myself. the first Idea is wonderful, and should definately go on "ask the devs". the second is called a "punisher".
let's review all attachments SOPMOD can have:
m203 - done
4x scope - done
night vision scope - good luck finding night
illumenation 203 round - no need
Bipod - you can't crouch
aimpoint laser - you have a crosshair instead
suppresor - only thing missing.

just make the suppressor have a week sound and no tracers.

Damn your ideas just got pwned

[SandTrout]

I wish the suppressors silencer actualy worked, and removeing the tracers(or makeing them black/dark grey) would help it a lot.

[Queensidecastle]

No tracers at all and no hit indicator in red telling the person where the bullets are coming from
