Battlefield 3 Suppressor Guide

In this Battlefield 3 Suppressor guide, we will be revealing the function of the Suppressor, what the downsides are, how to unlock it, the difference between the Suppressor and the Flash Suppressor, as well as giving you strategies for using it to its fullest potential.

Battlefield 3 Suppressor - Function and Overview

The Suppressor is a secondary weapon accessory which essentially acts like a silencer. It will remove most of the sound from your shots as well as reduce the muzzle flash.

Downsides to Using a Suppressor

The downside to using the suppressor is it reduces your accuracy, range, and even bullet speed. This means if you are sniping with a Suppressor, you will have to account for more bullet drop than normal. The Suppressor reduces accuracy and range to the point where it is not really a viable attachment for long-ranged combat.

Unlocking the BF3 Suppressor

Unlocking the Battlefield 3 Suppressor can be done just by getting kills with your gun. You unlock the Suppressor pretty late, so you will have to use the same gun for quite a few matches before you get access to this weapon attachment. This varies from weapon to weapon as some weapons have less attachments that they can use.

Battlefield 3 Suppressor vs Flash Suppressor

Many players get a bit confused about the difference between the Suppressor and the Flash Suppressor. Both are secondary weapon attachments and serve similar functions, but the best way to use them is quite different.

The Suppressor removes muzzle flash (the actual fire and explosion you see when someone shoots their gun) as well as significantly reduces the sound your bullets make. The Flash Suppressor only removes muzzle flash and does nothing to actually silence your bullets.

Why would you use the Flash Suppressor then? Well, the Suppressor has the side effect of reducing the accuracy and range of your bullets, whereas the Flash Suppressor only reduces accuracy and has no significant effect on range.

This means that if you are using a Suppressor, you will have trouble hitting players from range. Your bullets will not travel as far or as accurately.

Battlefield 3 Suppressor Strategies

The best time to use the Battlefield 3 Suppressor is in close-quarters combat when you want to sneak up on your enemies. It is ideal for a build which relies on sneaking up on opponents. You are better off with something like a Laser Sight if you are looking to head in from the front - as if the players can see you coming, why bother with a Suppressor? Its function is to keep you hidden.

As a result, you will want to use the Suppressor should you be trying to flank your enemy. This is good for flushing out snipers as well as marking enemy players once you are behind enemy lines. From a safe position, you can mark enemies for your team while you take out anyone who gets too close without actually giving away your position.

In order to help foster this goal, Sprint Specialization is actually a pretty good combo for a Suppressor. This way you can move around more quickly and easily behind enemy lines.

There is no real point in using a Suppressor for long-ranged combat. It reduces your accuracy too much and has no real function. Players will not really be able to hear your gunfire anyway from across the map, so a Flash Suppressor is more than adequate to keep your position hidden should you be attacking from range.

Battlefield 3 Suppressor Guide Conclusion

The Suppressor is a very specialized weapon attachment and is best used for deception and sneaking around. An example would be laying down prone beside a target in Rush Mode when on defense. You would be surprised how many people think you are a dead body when you lay there and do not fire on the first person to come in the room.

You can then wait for a few players to come in and try to arm the objective, then take them out without them noticing where you are thanks to the sound and flash reduction offered by the Suppressor.
