Understand Suppress
Useful when…
- Fit a pistol Exilus slot for reduced chance of enemies hearing gunfire.
- Use a partial rank when you want some noise reduction while spending fewer fusion resources.
Effect and slot
Suppress reduces the chance an enemy will hear gunfire by 25% at rank 0, 75% at rank 2, and 100% at rank 3. It is a Common pistol Exilus mod with Naramon polarity and base drain 2.
Ranking cost
Its listed fusion costs are 10 Endo and 483 Credits from rank 0→1, 20 Endo and 966 Credits from 1→2, and 40 Endo and 1,932 Credits from 2→3. Consider the final rank when reaching the full listed reduction is worth the extra cost.
Choose by purpose
The comparison mods serve different goals: Carnis Stinger adds Slash and Status Chance, Creeping Bullseye adds Critical Chance while reducing Fire Rate, and Embedded Catalyzer grants Status Chance for a limited time after casting an ability while aiming. They are standard-slot examples, whereas Suppress is an Exilus mod; compare the effect and slot rather than treating them as equivalent noise options.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a pistol Exilus slot for noise reduction rather than a listed damage or status effect.
- The full 100% listed reduction requires rank 3.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting Suppress to increase pistol damage.
- Assuming the noise reduction applies to weapons other than pistols.
