I make some tests, and looks like silencer attachment is a fake. Yes, it suppresses the firing sound of a weapon, but... its only sound effect, it does not reduce noise range for zombies detection at all!
Example 1:
You see few sleepers in a house, and shoot one of them with bow or x-bow, result - only aimed zombie will be triggered
Example 2:
You see few sleepers in a house, and shoot one of them with silenced pistol, result - all zombies will be triggered. Ok, if range is far enough, also only aimed zombie will be triggered. But when we make some tests, we noticed that this distance exactly same as for pistol without silencer! Same way it works for rifles.
Maybe silencer designed for PVP purposes only? Description says " It greatly suppresses the firing sound of a weapon but also reduces maximum range and damage" all this absolutely confirmed, and also there's nothing about noise range.
