These SUPPRESSORS don't do what you think they do in BF2042...

[@BurdFan]

I think the suppressors work as intended, I think the problem is with the description. If they all suppressed at the same distances, it would be weird that the heavy suppressors have a higher damage reduction. Personally, I think the light suppressors should remove you from the minimap at all distances, and have the heavy suppressors do what suppressors did in 5, remove direction indicators when taking damage

[@michaelmontgomery6301]

Heavy suppressors should also remove the post-kill cam that follows the person that killed you.

[@BurdFan]

@@michaelmontgomery6301 Yeah, I think I'd vibe with that

[@bunny1780]

@@BurdFan only took a full term of 9 months, but at least they changed the description...could have been sooner than that as i literally just started yesterday, but they are now labeled "minimap stealth AT RANGE" which is why i ended up here to try to learn the difference between the surpressors...and honestly it all makes sense, even in a real world scenario as a real life light surpressor without subsonic ammo would indeed be quieter than it was without the surpressor, but still louder than a heavier surpressor if that makes sense...its a shame they didnt go the extra mile to allow the use of subsonic ammo to fully reduce the minimap visibility when coupled with a surpressor as thats how its originally intended to be used anyways, but ill never know how devs "balance" their games

[@MussD972]

Thanks for the information man! Great video, I know player numbers are decreasing but I appreciate all the work I am sure you put into this video.

[@FurBurger151]

Ditto

[@muhammedalitoya1505]

Dude seriously? Numbers are "Decreasing"? The past week peaked at 2400 players. BFV has consistently 25k players. This game is dead on arrival.

[@MussD972]

@@muhammedalitoya1505 I get it, we were promised something that did not come to fruition. Player numbers are super low, I acknowledge that. Regardless of those facts, people still enjoy the game and are still playing it. Not everyone just quit on it.

[@muhammedalitoya1505]

@@MussD972 You are technically right, as ONLY 97% of the playerbase is gone. Good for those who still play on those bot filled servers. Its also a healthy sign that 200k users have signed the petition for refunds. I can honestly say that you need to be very specially stupid not to see that this game will be buried in less than 3 months. The franchise is dead and DICE as a studio is finished. EA has once again done what they do best!

[@smortstonk4591]

My personal take: Light Sup. gives no spotting from 25m or further Light Sup.+Subsonic gives no spotting from 15m or further Heavy Sup. gives no spotting at any range Heavy Sup.+Subsonic gives no spotting at any range AND removes the damage direction indicator (Subsonic rounds by themselves still work the same way)

[@Russc]

does it have to do with sound? maybe to incentivize using the subsonic rounds? which is why they don’t suppress under 20m?

[@1htalp9]

Good job, I will make requisite changes. Looking forward to your optics video.

[@sa17dk]

Thank you for this thorough video. I think this is one of the only guides out there that actually covers recoil for the suppressors (most only cover compensators/muzzle brakes/short and long barrels). It's nice to see that my personal experience preferring the wrapped and type 4 suppressors correspond to real differences.

[@Troy211]

You have to use the subsonic ammo with the m5 to stay off the map. And the description does say keeps you off the map at a distance.

[@SammyBoiiiFPS]

This video was made in February my guy 👍

[@zzznardszzz4715]

It turns out there can be other players that can see you on the mini map other than the one you’re shooting at, and they could be any distance away!

[@ReinKenobi]

Awesome video mate! Appreciate the work!

[@gighustler]

@ SammyBoii giving the state of this game I greatly appreciate you still making content Thanks 🙏🏿👍🏿💪🏿

[@hudusoo3768]

It’s great to see another creator giving BF2042 a good crack, the community has been very quick to jump ship on the game IMO… the game obviously has its issues but other BFs haven’t all been perfect on release. I think the game has huge potential and I’m having a blast playing it myself 👌🏼

[@SquidCena]

Are you still?

[@chinchan9]

The game at launch was worth refunding and never buying a battlefield game again but to be fair I started playing it again last week and it seems like allot has changed and its actually enjoyable now

[@mapp3d1nscars]

Good to know thanks M8 👍

[@derrickrudolph4819]

Another great video Sammy! This is exactly the kind of content I’ve been looking for. Thank you!

[@Mike-by1oy]

Solid video, very well done.

[@PacoBataReyes]

I know the in game firepower stats don't directly correlate to any values in game...but I see that the light suppressors have a -5 firepower reduction. Heavy suppressors have a -10 firepower reduction. I'm guessing in game the lights are -1 damage per bullet? And the heavy suppressors are -2 damage per bullet? If that could be tested in game, it would be a reason to pick the lights over the heavys on something like the MP9. Such as, if the 1 or 2 point damage reduction changes TTK with and without armor.

[@oOImpulseOo]

Another A+ video. Well done sir.

[@devinguy]

If I remember right, the smaller suppressors still make you show up on the minimap but only while you are firing the gun. Without a suppressor, you will show up on the minimap for a short time even after firing.

[@mcm4090]

With no suppressor on your gun and you fire your gun don't you stay on the mini map for 5 seconds after you stopped firing? So maybe the purpose of the light suppressor is to remove that 5-second you appear on the map

[@rain8478]

The lack of transparency in explaining what each attachment does is simply unacceptable.

[@vicvinegarLLC]

Do you think Ahsoka and Ventress will ever be added to the game? Also, can you do an in-depth analysis of Phasma's staff strikes? I've been getting killed by it too much but can't seem to use it effectively myself. Thanks for the vid! Great stuff 🤙🏼

[@AHR_James]

Great content as always :) I guess the question is, do I care if I appear on the mini-map if I'm >20m from an enemy? I'm not sure I do, which would imply the light suppressors are pointless.

[@kjk821]

They are not. If you ping more often where your contacts with enemy players were you will realize how far that most often actually is. 20m is really really close in this game. And if the comrades of the enemy don't know where their buddy was killed from it is a positive. Obviously in small buildings it's not as effective. BUT when does this game ever have close combat in only buildings...right. so yeah use them it helps

[@judgebruceschroeder3118]

the 6KU is the best suppressor

[@Nuppersson]

Its so stupid that suppressors reduce damage done instead of reducing the ranges... 6 or 7 bullets to kill on SCAR on close range is ridicilous

[@Aus1Happy]

This game doesn't do what you think it should do ;)

[@leonidas6134]

Starts at 2:31

[@Desiderium]

Thank you for your detailed documentation, this game has very low clarity on what things actually do. I think you repeated yourself too much though.

[@georgebungot3163]

DUDE, can we just lay this corpse peacefully? This game is beyond rotting. Move on to a better game you want to cover.

[@vicvinegarLLC]

He clearly still enjoys it otherwise he would move on. Why are you still watching videos on a game you clearly don't like?

[@FurBurger151]

Dude can you go cry somewhere else.

[@yfgub]

This game is dead.

[@baronvonschnitzel9250]

Awesome content bro! I'm sure the 3,000 players left globally will appreciate it 👍

[@warlordop713]

? You do realize that not everyone plays on steam and pc?

[@warlordop713]

@Im Errorz we must be living in different worlds then. My lobbies are full packed sometimes with 5 or 6 in queue.

[@warlordop713]

@Im Errorz a queue means that everyone is a player since bots can’t be in queues. Anyone with a brain would know this. Apparently you did not. Also there is something that shows all the players in the lobbies.

[@warlordop713]

@Im Errorz I do, why? Got a problem? So do many others. What games do you play?

[@warlordop713]

@Im Errorz only 15? You are definitely wrong on that.
