Silenced Weapon

[The Vire 1]

Hello !

 

Will there be a silenced melee weapon that can 1 hit people? Like cut a throat off with a knife .. 

[Guest]

Melee weapons can't be fitted with silencers, if you mean audio wise, then I believe that they may be changing the noise of the melee weapons so it doesn't sound like a pistol :)

They should be an Karambit Gut Knife

[Mcleane 24]

I have not heard anything about it but It's not impossible to input an action that allows you to cut someones throat if you come up behind them.

[TedZ 424]

And thats what a karambit gutknife does, correctly around the throat, a easy clean cut.

with the engine and desync that going here its impossible to make it viable. My opinion, but i think everybody would be pissed when they ran through a field and suddenly drop dead, because their body desynced few minutes ago and some freshspawn cut their throat.

Like....Firemans axe?

A "silenced" weapon is not here yet. Though there is a silencer that you can find for the M4A1, it has no utility yet and is just cosmetic for the time being until they add a function to the add on.

As for a silent weapon, one of which has the ability to perform a one hit kill would be a Firefighter's axe. But the thought of you being able to sneak up behind someone with a small melee weapon is cool.

Since when u can cut a throat with a flash lamp ?

" Silenced " meelee weapon is a ridiculous idea. Because a melee weapon actually does not any sound at all... you swing, you hit, the target grunts/yells because of the pain. 1 Hit kill?... so far no melee does it.. even Firemans axe uses a couple of hits until the dude falls over.

 

Silencer for weapons?... well great idea yea... but so far, the silencer for the m4 does not work... so far so good, we have a silencer that does not silence at all :D yea we love that... but whatever, its in alpha stage for now, we will see what comes...

 

Just a word of advice; If you see people with firearms like mosin, m4, or pistol. Please do not run to them with your axe or any other melee items swinging... insted hide and be on your way... it is really unrealistic to storm someone with an axe or whatever in order to get his/her weapon... it might be a game yes, but you should " at least " put some thought behind the fact that you NEVER would try to do such a stupid thing if this was real... so act according to it please.

If i hit a wall it sounds like a M4 or something like that. 

 

Btw. the m4 silencer works. For your own you dont notice a difference but if u get shot by a silenced and not silenced m4 you hear a difference

Just because you can cancel the sound of the weapon firing, you can't stop the sound of the round breaking the sound barrier. The M4 silencer is working as intended.

Wow you people are dense?

The OP obviously doesn't mean a silencer for a melee weapon, that just stupid and makes no sense so why would anyone go there?

Nor does he mean a quite melee weapon, because they already are quiet. Derrrr!

He means a knife or any deadly melee weapon that can take out someone in one hit. Just like the fireaxe can for zombies.

Obviously this would only really work for 1st person servers, but being able to sneak up behind someone and slit there throat or maybe a club that knocks them out would be a great addition...someday.

If you land a headshot with any melee weapon it will knock the player unconscious meaning you can just beat them something merciless until they die. A fireaxe to the head does the instant kill. Given the engine this game runs on, I don't see any type of instakill assassination like you seem to want.

 

The silencer for the M4? Yeah it works just fine. You may not think it does, but have you ever heard a real silencer get fired? How about without the proper ammo? A silencer doesn't just magically make a weapon quiet. There will be added silencers for other weapons later on, the soonest of which will be the .45. There will probably be an addition of subsonic ammo to compensate at a later date. If you have played the Arma games, even the DayZ mod, you needed an SD STANAG for the silenced M4. Regular STANAG didn't work in them. The current 5.56 ammo isn't made for the silencer therefore it doesn't work. As you probably get reminded of very often, this is an alpha and that doesn't mean that bugs are the only thing to keep in mind. There are plenty of things that haven't been added, including things that apply to items already in game. Such as cooking with the cookpot or stoves.

Hi.

 

I can't help but laugh when I see people say this can't be done due to the engine. It's been modded into the rv engine more than once in the past. The only hard part really, is making the animation. But obviously, that's doable as well.

 

Regards.

This isn't BF3. This isn't cod. Melee weapons don't have and never had any kind of "silencers". 1 hitting is op. The fists are op even at this time.

Even with a suppressor the M4 would be no where near silent. You would need subsonic ammunition which is not in the game yet.

He never said they had silencers.

You and the 2 poster cannot read. You automatically assume he is saying silencer for a melee weapon, when he didn't. OP isn't stupid.
