so in latest patch suppressors were made to remove tracers from any gun with a suppressor on it
its broken.
there is now almost 0 reason to not use a silencer on your weapon. the only disadvantage you have is when you're up close and people can more actively see if you have a silencer on your weapon.
but from far away, the silencer pre-buff already gave you the benefit of having less noise to your shots, less chance for people to hear you shooting at anyone. now, if you're far away and shooting at people - they don't know where from and have no chance at all in being able to tell who's doing it. the only chance someone has to retaliate validly is if they have a scoped weapon and can guarantee you have a silencer on your gun - and thats a very minute detail to notice while you might be gunning them down from long range (which is exacerbated by the fact that using a silencer on a scoped weapon, is the right play since it makes it easier to shoot long distance targets) and they can't react fast enough.
even up close this can be an issue because in the rush of being shot at, you can't always guarantee that you confirm a silencer on someone's weapon while you're getting gunned down.
all of it really opens up an issue of potential rdm - potentially shooting someone who isn't even the one shooting at you because you can't confirm who;s doing it.
please revert the change, or at the very least if this intends to stay - then silencer needs a damage nerf again.
