so suppressors are useless now?
Saw the new "tool-tip" for the suppressors in the collection screen.... apparently they only provide minimap-stealth from 40m+ now?! DICE are we playing the same game anymore?´between all the things...

@X-Sunslayer-Xjust a tip if you pair suppressor with sub sonic ammo, your weapon will never cause you to appear on the mini map. I use the BSV-M with subsonic high power and short barrel.
The enemy could be eating lunch at a dinner table with me under it and with this load out would never know Im there. Places like the ship on stranded, the tunnel on exposure, and the cube we play in on C (spearhead) are great fun with this set up.
I see your frustrations and understand why but I also see why dice did it this way for realistic reasons. Realistically a weapon isn't truly silent until you pair it with a good suppressor and subsonic ammunition. This was used in WW2 with suppressed sten guns and suppressed grease guns.
For what do we need suppressors on Sniper rifles now?
- @SCUBASTEVE120 if i want to play a realistic shooter i'll go back to ARMA...
DICE can't pick and choose realism at leisure. Your set tup also does not stop you from apprearing on the minimap btw but only remove hit indicators from whoever you shot at.
I can see why DICE wants to have everyone on the minimap all the time, so everyone can get a free kill once in a while by playing " hunt down the red dot"...- @X-Sunslayer-X O my apologies, I thought when paired together it completely removed you from the mini map and the hit indicators. I think the heavy suppressors on weapons like the mp9, k30, and ac42 may do it then. (I have seen people not appear when using ac42 with pb heavy suppressor or type 4 heavy suppressor when I was playing on manifest a few times. It may have been they were just out of that 40 meters though. I agree dice shouldn't pick and choose on these things. I miss the bf3 suppressors you were completely invisible on mini map back then.
- @SCUBASTEVE120 Yep these things should be taken into consideration as it is important, if you like to play stealth and being a true Recon in the game.
- @X-Sunslayer-X Lol Dice can 100% pick and choose what to treat with realism or not. I’ve never trusted the suppressors in 2042 and do think I’m basically spotted at all times. With the poor visibility in the game (that’s why we all get rave lights on our vests), I think they’ve compensated for it though choices like this.
