This is a really weird thing to notice, but aren’t suppressors supposed to cover an entire muzzle? With the muzzle ports being exposed like that the suppressor is technically useless?

Yes
Yeah but it’s the F U T U R E
Nanomachine technology, clearly
A rogue AI did it
Oh god come on man.
Literally unplayable
Creative liberties that unironically work for the game. It may not work in real life, but it sure does look cool, though.
Style over substance baby!
Technonecromancers from Alpha Centauri did it
One of the snipers does the same….it’s so weird to leave a section open with a suppressor.
Choom it’s 2077
Just look at fallout 4 put a supressor on a muzzlebreak
Only used suppressor on pistol, so I didn’t even noticed.
In the future we can get partially transparent barrels, cooool
300 gb update incoming so they can make it worse
Literally unplayable.
The suppressor is actually a device that sends out a ping within 500m that masks the sound by disrupting ear and brain implants
I don’t think it will be useless, the gun still be less loud, but yeah, it won’t be as effective as a suppressor.
Also suppressors have another important function, they allow to hide the muzzle flash. Of course in a game it’s not important at all, but such device could reduce the muzzle flash visibility and while allowing the gun to look 5% cooler.
Okay, here’s how I’d justify it:
It’s a smart rifle. Bullets are fired using two stages: First, the initial subsonic charge to get the bullet moving out of the chamber. Second stage is the ignition of the gyrojet that happens just outside the chamber.
Which would mean that the initial vent would be for the subsonic “launch” stage of the shell and the suppressor we’re looking at here baffles the gyrojet’s gas.
Also, the Rule of Cool. It looks rad.
Wait until you realize the Malorian 3516 requires quantum teleportation to feed and eject rounds.
Nah, it’s covered by ultra clear glass. Can’t even see the glass itelf
You used to be able to stick suppressors on revolvers
Having a silencer that big just means you are compensating for something.
Yeah but they are 2 separate assets. Best thing you can do is 1 + 1 them together. I.e. adhere them to one another. If you didn’t, they would have to design a unique asset for every mod combination.
Idk if I explained it well but I think this is the reason
This is the AI fucking with your mind
Is it just that one model or is it all of them? Cause I’m pretty sure most don’t have that issue lol fun catch though since yes suppressor would be ineffective physics takes path of least resistance always and that would be the ports but some gas would be routed through so might get some reduction but not even hearing safe
Technically I’d say yes and no.
A suppressor works by having multiple openings to vent the expanding gas in the chamber and barrel.
That’s the reason most games discount damage done when suppressors are attached.
That’s why with most revolvers drilling a few holes in the barrel at angles will also allow the same result.
The gun in the picture would be releasing that gas rapidly so It’d sound deafening.
The other thing I readwasmost automatic weapons are pretty useless with silencers because the gas builds up and either stops firing quietly or jamming.
Some Russian guy made a homemade one and used ammunition he made himself and after going full on for a clip he found that between the gases in the silencer and the heat of the firing it caused the bullets to pretty much melt in between.
CDPR: what the fuck is a suppressor?
Some designer: idk it makes guns quiet and goes on the ends of barrels
CD0R: well then get to it, slap the suppressors on the ends
Suppressors in this game are wonky. Take a look at the Overwatch rifle. When you cycle it or reload on empty the suppressor just hangs out in the air while the barrel moves back and forth
