Give More Purpose to Suppressors, Flash Hiders, and Muzzle Brakes

Under considerationby DDT · 04 Sept

First of all, thank you for the recent updates. I am a player from Taiwan and have been really enjoying the game so far. I would like to share a small suggestion regarding muzzle attachments. I don't think every suppressor model needs unique functionality. Different models within the same category can simply have different appearances or minor stat differences, and I think that's completely fine. However, I believe the three main categories — Suppressors, Flash Hiders, and Muzzle Brakes — should have more distinct purposes and identities. At the moment, attachment choices seem to be based mostly on recoil and handling statistics, which can make the different categories feel somewhat similar. For example: Suppressors could reduce sound and muzzle flash, but create heat distortion after sustained fire. Flash Hiders could focus on reducing visible muzzle flash while maintaining a clearer sight picture. Muzzle Brakes could provide the best recoil control, but produce more visible blast and muzzle flash. The goal is not to make one attachment stronger than the others, but to give each category a clear role and reason to choose it. This could encourage players to choose different muzzle attachments depending on the weapon and environment, rather than simply choosing whichever one has the best stats. Bodycam already pays great attention to weapon realism and visual detail, so I think this could make the attachment system feel even more immersive and meaningful. Thank you for your time and for continuing to improve the game!

    A future rebalance pass should make these devices hide muzzle flashes as a considered advantage over compensators, probably including heat/IR visibility if night vision ever comes to pass

    flash hiders and maybe suppressors should hide muzzle flash

    Flash hiders would be awesome to have for low light environments when when a flashlight or flash would give you away, but none of them work, they're just cosmetic atm

    Each barrel and barrel attachment should have it's own unique flash and illumination on the environment.
