Not in game yet though, just IRL with some DIY.

There are many ways to make improvised sound suppressors with various and often quickly diminishing effectiveness.

It is just something that I would like to see in game when we see more zombies and hopefully much more sensitive to gunshots zombies.

600m+ radius of zombie attraction maybe?, which could be decreased by as much as 50m or a bit less with the best of the best suppressors and sub sonic rounds.

Personally I always wanted silenced weapons for PvP, rather than for avoiding zombie aggro, so I like that idea. If you don't catch the sound of the gun going off, you can tell someone's firing when the zombies all start shooting off towards one part of town. 600m seems a bit too big an area, though... are they even going to be able to spawn that far out from the player?

I more want zombies to be a big problem, taking away from your ability to just shoot somebody as you're trying to be quiet and avoid them.

But, if you think about it a silencer would be a huge advantage if you saw him first.

Now you have a silencer that he doesn't if he isn't instantly dead and tries to return fire he will have zombie troubles.

I was just thinking, in the open.

In town through buildings a zombie is never going to identify the gunshots point of origin.

In an open field/ farmland though, you can hear gunshots kilometres away.

Why should zombies ears be any less effective than ours if we want a challenge.

Fair points, and it would be good if they prioritise louder noise when they don't have line of sight on a closer target.
Nitpicking, I know, but if they wanted to go for a realistic level of detail they could have varying eyesight/hearing quality depending on how long they've been spawned in/just as a random factor.

Thanks everyone for the feedback and thanks to Harry for inspiring me to do some market research.
