Immersive Suppressors - No Range Debuff
What this fixes:
Vanilla weapons and many modded weapons have suppressor attachments that reduce the range of the weapon. This is un-immersive as suppressors increase the velocity of a bullet slightly, which improves range (very marginally) rather than decreasing it.
For simplicity, this mod removes all range modifiers on suppressors.
How it works:

For simplicity, this mod removes all range modifiers on suppressors.
How it works:
- This uses a RobCo Patcher INI file that looks for OMOD records containing "Suppressor", "Silencer", or "Muzzle" in its name.
- Then MinRange and MaxRange properties are removed from those OMOD records.
Limitations:
- In-game suppressor descriptions are not modified so flavor text indicating reduced range may remain. Look at stats instead.
- Some weapon mods (such as RU556) have their suppressors increase range (which could be immersive). However, the Robco Patcher cannot evaluate the value of a property (positive vs. negative), so I decided to treat all suppressors the same for consistency.
- I considered making all suppressors give a minor range buff instead, but realistically that is dependent on suppressor length, barrel length, and bullet type. The Robco Patcher can't evaluate these, so I kept it simple and removed the range modifier.
Installation and Compatibility:
- The Robco Patcher is required.
- This is a dynamic patcher and should be compatible with everything, as long as another Robco Patcher file does not make changes to the same properties.
