Yes, but apparently this is bugged with several weapons according to some stats comparison I saw.Sisco wrote:

I dunno for sure, I never noticed being detected faster when using it and I used it on all assault class weapons until the first service star.globefish23 wrote:

Has that been fixed for all suppressed weapons yet?
Or are you supposed to still show up on the minimap with certain suppressed weapons?

Well, the point is to fire in the general direction of the spotted red triangle to suppress them before they even come out of cover in the first place.-Sh1fty- wrote:
I don't really use suppression. Most of the time if I see somebody I kill him before he can get behind cover for me to suppress. I guess on PC with 32 players there's a lot of more opportunities to suppress.

Then a team member has time to flank and take them out from another angle.

Throw five grenades and fire three RPGs in the general direction of the spotted red triangle, so the enemy medic can rush in for a revive attempt and get snuffed a second later.

Actually a really valid question I must say.Sup3r_Dr4gon wrote:
Is the silencer really made that useful by not making you appear on the radar? Seeing as the radar can only be set as 'show only 10 feet around me' and 'show the whole map and not see shit because of the icons', no one can see you anyways.

Plus, the suppressor feels like it cuts back on recoil and muzzle climb. Therefore, in CQC, your shot grouping tends to be closer and (as long as your aim is true) more shots his where you want them to go. Combined with Grip and Red-Dot or Holo, it is a pretty deadly combo.-Sh1fty- wrote:
It's the sound too. You can't really tell where a suppressor sound is coming from as easily as a loud rifle. Plus a loud rifle will make you look at your minimap to see where it's coming from.
According to one of those one-liner tips on the loading screens the added weight indeed reduces vertical climb.GeoEnvi wrote:
