Do Silencers Help?

Noise Suppressor - Reduces the sound of the weapon when fired in PRESSURISED environments.
Audio Masking - Reduces the weapon's simulated sound when fired in UNPRESSURISED environments.

I have...
Manticore Executioner long range rifle G3 with noise suppressor
Manticore Tormentor pistol G3 with audio masking

Seems that I have them backwards. Still maybe I can fire the 3 round executioner indoors although
some players suggest the 6 round tormentor works well both indoors and out especially in eazy CZs.

So does an executioner with audio masking makes a seeable difference when sniping snipers?
Are silencers best used on other weapons? I think maybe knowing what I am doing overrides
any updates.

I also have a tormentor G3 headshot damage and improved hip fire accuracy so noise is secondary.

What do you think? :)

Yeah, I think weapon built towards sniping definitely should have Audio Masking. Tormentor is a beast of a pistol, though. First and only thing so far that I have taken to G5. I also have an Intimidator with supressor, but haven't managed to find myself doing an indoor assassination with it yet. I have a P-15 with both masking and supressor and that has been a pretty decent weapon for killing the unaware. I'm working on upgrading it.

I don't think either type of silencer is worth it. The game's alert mechanics are extremely forgiving and it's easy to go in guns blazing on a "covert" mission and have no problems. It's even a bit of an advantage as you can get NPCs to open locked doors for you by making noise, saving the time it'd have taken to cut the panel in some cases.

Your Executioner is suppose to have Audio Masking (outside) and Tormentor, Noise Suppressor (inside).
Those are the most effective combos.
And also those mods are only relevant with one-shot-weapons in order to stop the target from firing and alerting others.
Greater Range and Stability also goes well with those two mods.

i have audio masking and noise suppressor on my aphelion and it works well for stealth kills inside and outside

i have noise suppressor on my p15 and it extremely useful indoors ...
im waiting for the audio masking engineer to be unlocked so, i can add that mod to the p15 and then use it outside for stealth kills too

i use different guns than what your using but, the 2 i mention above work well for me with silenced mods

and silencers work well if your enemy is not shielded (alerted)...
and if your enemy is shielded because of them be alerted all you have to do is avoid being spotted and wait a few moments for them to relax and turn off their shields and you will be able to take them out easy again

btw, i use headshot damage mod on my aphelion and p15 too to get that extra damage ... other weapons may not need it
