Overview
Significantly reduces the sound of gunfire, and completely removes any visible muzzle flash. Crudely made out of a soda can, this will only survive a few shots.
First night of the wipe, a neighbour is still building his 2x1 by torchlight and you have a revolver with a handful of rounds. An open muzzle tells everyone within earshot where the fight is, and the flash gives away your bush. Screw on a soda can and the whole thing stays between you and him.
It costs metal fragments at a Level 1 workbench, the only silencer you can make before your first bench upgrade. The price shows. With 15 durability it really does die after a few shots, as the game itself warns, so treat it as part of the ammo, not part of the gun.
Tip
Keep it in your inventory and attach it just before you shoot. Every shot wears it down, including the ones at a deer or a scientist.
It fits cheap sidearms like the semi-automatic pistol too. Once a Level 2 bench is up, research the oil filter silencer and let this one go.
