This article, Suppressor, is a stub and may require expansion. Please help out by editing the page.

A suppressor, sound suppressor, or sound moderator, also legally known and referred to as a silencer, is a device attached to or part of the barrel of a firearm which reduces the amount of noise and flash generated by firing the weapon. Suppressors can also be integrated into a barrel, such as the AS Val or MP5SD platforms.

The Suppressor is a weapon attachment in the Rainbow Six universe.


Raven Shield[]

Sound suppressors reduce the amount of noise produced when you fire a weapon. They only reduce the sound of weapons and never completely silence them. Two side effects of silencers are increased weapon weight and decreased damage due to special subsonic ammunition.
- In-game Description

The Sound Suppressor is an attachment featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield.

It reduces the noise of weapons when fired, reducing the likelyhood of being detected by enemies. Consequently, it also reduces weapon damage and slows movement speed.

Siege[]

Removes muzzle flash, bullet trails are less visible, and the muffled sound reduces noise.
- In-game description

The Suppressor is a weapon attachment featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. It greatly reduces the sound emitted from a weapon when fired. Due to the importance of listening to one's surroundings to determine the location of the enemy, the suppressor is extremely valuable in masking the player's location as a result. This can be useful in dispatching lone enemies in Training Grounds or multiplayer as well as destroying surveillance cameras.

Missed bullets fired from a suppressed weapon do not trigger a white threat indicator, nor will they create smoke trails. If a shot lands on a target they will experience no indicators telling them where the shot came from. While a normal weapon can be heard from across the map in the open, a suppressed weapon can only be heard from 30 meters away. The Suppressor hides the muzzle flash of weapons better than a Flash Hider does, but cannot bring any recoil benefits.

Almost every in-game weapon can be equipped with a suppressor. However, there are exceptions.
