- Flash suppressor
|
| rdfs:comment | - A Flash Suppressor is a weapon mod in Wasteland 2.
- Although they are typically mounted in the same position and sometimes confused with each other, a flash suppressor is different from a muzzle brake. While the former is intended to reduce visible flash, a muzzle brake is designed to reduce painful recoil inherent to large cartridges and typically has no effect on visible flash.
- The Flash Suppressor is a barrel attachment, that will better direct the muzzle flash of a discharged weapon, effectively hiding it from view. This addon will not muffle the sound of the weapon nor hide the shooter's location on the minimap. As of game update 2016-01-14 the Flash Suppressor no longer increases cone of fire recoil by 20%.

| abstract | - A Flash Suppressor is a weapon mod in Wasteland 2.
- Although they are typically mounted in the same position and sometimes confused with each other, a flash suppressor is different from a muzzle brake. While the former is intended to reduce visible flash, a muzzle brake is designed to reduce painful recoil inherent to large cartridges and typically has no effect on visible flash.
- The Flash Suppressor is a barrel attachment, that will better direct the muzzle flash of a discharged weapon, effectively hiding it from view. This addon will not muffle the sound of the weapon nor hide the shooter's location on the minimap. As of game update 2016-01-14 the Flash Suppressor no longer increases cone of fire recoil by 20%. Unlike the suppressor, the flash suppressor will not cause rounds to lose muzzle velocity, and so round damage will not be reduced. This makes the flash suppressor preferable over suppressors during night time engagements at medium-to-long range. It's main drawback is the increase of the auto detection range on the minimap by 15m. Normal; auto detection range from firing is 40m for carbines and assault rifles, while LMG's are 50m. Additionally, it will help your aim as the bullet flashes won't obscure your vision when you are ADS.
