Overview
Significantly reduces the sound of gunfire, and completely removes any visible muzzle flash. Fashioned out of an old oil filter, this won't last long.
Third parties are the reason to craft it. You hear someone farming sulfur near your base after dark, you go out with a semi-automatic rifle, and you want the kill without the group two compounds over rolling out to see who is shooting. A silenced gun hides the flash and keeps the noise to your corner of the map, so the fight stays one on one.
Among the three silencers this one sits in the middle. A military silencer lasts longer, 100 durability against 60, but you cannot research it and mostly find it in crates. The soda can silencer comes at Level 1 and breaks after a fight. This one wants a Level 2 workbench and some high quality metal, which a mid-wipe group has anyway.
Tip
Research it the day you place your Level 2 bench. At 15 scrap it costs a quarter of what the muzzle brake or boost do, and you will be crafting replacements all wipe.
Expect to swap it out every few nights. When it breaks, the gun keeps shooting; you just lose the quiet.
