A Flash suppressor, also known as a flash hider is a device attached to the muzzle of a rifle or other firearm that reduces the visible signature of the burning gases that exit the muzzle, which may also reduce recoil. This reduces the chances that the shooter will be blinded in dark conditions. A secondary benefit of flash suppression is the reduction of the flash visible to the enemy.

The Flash Hider is a weapon attachment featured in several installments of the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Franchise.

"Reduces the speed at which the muzzle moves upwards while shooting."
— In-game description

The Flash Hider is a weapon attachment featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. It hides the muzzle flash of weapons so the enemy may take longer to notice where the shot come from. Every time the weapon starts firing, it slightly reduces the vertical recoil and greatly reduces the horizontal recoil for the first 3 shots. Internally, the Flash Hider reduces first shot vertical recoil by approximately 13% and overall vertical recoil by approximately 15%. [1]

Unlike the Muzzle Brake which only reduces first shot vertical recoil, the Flash Hider's effects will last throughout the entire spray, much like the Vertical Grip. This means that the Flash Hider is most effective when used on fully-automatic weapons.

This section is currently under construction. It may contain little or inaccurate information.

The Flash Hider is a weapon attachment featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile. It is available for all weapons. As with other attachments, it is unlocked for a weapon by progressing the associated Operator's Mastery Track.

The Flash Hider grants a large increase to vertical recoil, increasing accuracy. It also hides the weapon's muzzle flash, thereby reducing the risk of the player giving away their position to enemies when firing. The attachment does decrease sprint to fire speed, lowering the weapon's handling. On Shotguns, the Flash Hider grants an increase of hip fire spread instead of vertical recoil, increasing a shotgun's accuracy. It also lowers a shotgun's handling by decreasing its ADS movement speed.
