Description:
This mod adds a damage reduction for every weapon with a suppressor mod, which works with every weapon in the game and also weapons added by mods. It also modifies the range penalty that bothered a lot of people. Both can be customized on-the-fly with the MCM, where you can also completely disable the mod.

Compatibility:
The mod doesn't contain any vanilla or overridden record, so the shouldn't be any incompatibilities. The plugin is also an ESL, which doesn't take up an ordinary mod slot.

Known issues:
  • vanilla suppressors adds a flat -30 range reduction to weapons, while the range multiplier adds <weapon range>*rangeMult to your weapon. This means that weapons with different ranges will receive a varying range modifier, and the range penalty of only one weapon can be negated.

Any bug reports and improvement suggestions are welcome!

Technical Details:
The damage reduction is done by giving the player a perk when the mod loads for the first time, rather than overwriting the modification records. The perk checks for the HasSilencer keyword (similarly to the Mister Sandman Perk) and modifies the damage output and range multiplier, both depending on Actor Values (which can be configured with the MCM).

Reasoning:
First of all, I'm aware that real life suppressors don't have a significant effect on the muzzle velocity of the bullet (which determines the bullet's energy/damage and range). I also didn't intend to be realistic with the suppressors since I'm no firearm expert. I just felt that the suppressors in-game have no real drawbacks. The vanilla -30 range penalty, which a lot people disliked, wasn't actually really noticeable (maybe except on the Deliverer), so everytime I end up attaching a suppressor on every gun anyway. With this mod, I'd like to address this issue by giving the suppressors a small disadvantage, like in Hitman or Deus Ex. 

Recommended mods:
- mods that allows real-time attachment swaps, like T.A.S. or Q.M.W.
