Tactical Information
- As a suppressed weapon, the Suppressor benefits from having a reduced detection presence compared to other weapons.
- Suppressed weapons have an audible range of 12 meters. Instead of immediatly being aware of a Helldiver's position, enemies will instead become suspicious of the shots and start to investigate. Enemies still can be alerted after several rapid missed shots.
- Helldivers can use that advantage to eliminate their targets such as Trooper's on objectives without revealing their position. However, killing any unit in patrol will still alert the rest of the group and will be engaged.
- It is recommended to target light Automaton units such as Troopers, MG Raiders, and Commissars first, as they are capable of calling in reinforcements.
- When targeting these units, it is recommended to aim for the head to kill them in a single shot without giving them a chance to call reinforcements.

Trivia
- When compared to other suppressed weapons such as the M7S SMG and M6C/SOCOM Pistol, the Suppressor has a much quieter firing sound. This is likely due to its use of Subsonic rounds, a feature that is not shared by the above mentioned weapons.
- This does not has a tangible effect on gameplay, all suppressed weapons are audible within 12m.
