Silencers

[corwinwarner]

Hi everyone,

After an unsuccessful search through past threads, I ask you for precisions about silencers in MW2.

Less Damage, less range, etc... Can anyone sum it up?

BTW, sorry if this thread already exists after all

You are my bro, bro.

There's plenty of info in the thread below entitled "Weapon Damage"

In a nutshell, same rules apply as in COD4 - only affects Range, with the exception of weapons new to have silencers, such as sniper rifles and LMGs, which lose power. I believe shotguns lose Range only, but I can't confirm.

Thanks Toad!

This confirm I will certainly stick to my TAR-21 + silencer for some time

Oops. It's actually called "Updated weapon stats"

Sniper Rifles - Damage lowered from 70 to 50
LMGs - Damage reduced by 10, pretty bad attachment choice
ARs, SMGs, Pistols, Machine Pistols - Range values reduced, ARs suffer the most significant reduction.
Shotguns - Pellets disappear closer, horrible attachment choice

Thanks for your answer imrlybord7,

Anyway, a silencer on a shotgun or a LMG would be against my nature
Those babies are meant to make noise!!!

Don't the silencer reduce recoil? Though it wasn't measured in the recoil thread so there is no evidence or measurement as of yet.

Since this is my first post (long time lurker):

No it does not reduce recoil. The reduction in flash and noise may make it appear that way but view kick/recoil is not reduced..
