Suppression with any weapon? | Forums

I havnt experienced this but if it is happening it needs to get fixed

I'm not trying to discredit anyone, but is it possible that someone with an LMG was suppressing you so one of his teammates could get a shot? I'm only asking because I've never seen it personally, and I've recently started using LMGs (they're awesome) and that's how I try to play it; I don't go for specifically for kills, I just try to hold enemies for my team to pick off.

As far as I know the LMGs are the only weapons that can surpress, period. But if it happens when you're wounded, that's kind of cool, too.

This definitely isn't what's happening. In every situation where someone suppresses me with an SMG, shotgun, sniper, or assault rifle, no one else is even around! I'm a very vigilant person, and I'm sure there weren't any LMG's around. Besides, it's not like you can put a suppressor on an LMG. Nothing appeared on the radar, I didn't hear anyone shooting (besides the guy suppressing me with his whatever), etc.

People are definitely suppressing me with other weapon types.

Yeah It has happened to me one time. I was the one suppressing though, it was weird. I had my Mk17 and started firing at an enemy and my guy said something about suppressing. I noticed the guy I was shooting at was fidgeting around. On that same round, I had someone shoot me with incendiary ammo with what looked like a PDR. Was a really odd and fun round.

If you were playing conflict supply crate objectives gives all guns fire ammo

I've also been suppressed by other guns besides LMGs
Just happened on riot with a MK17 and a suppressed sniper rifle

The game is just broken. I've had it say in my scout loadout I was using an m60 and turret, but once I spawn in I've got the normal stuff I'm supposed to have. Or I'll melee someone and in the kill feed it'll show me killing the guy with an f2000.

As far as I know my friend there wasn't anyone around me using the LMG, especially people from the enemy team. I've run into a lot of Engineers on an enemy team and I noticed I would get suppressed by something like the AKS-74u. Lmao. More often than not though, I've noticed suppression with those weapons if you're wounded or like another user said, if you get hit by a grenade, fall down and are attempting to get back up. I'd suggest trying it in a private lobby with a friend to see if this is the case (I don't have anyone on my list who is into the technical aspects of a game like myself so I have to resort to in-game experiences).

It is probably not suppression. Getting the incoming arrows and the red borders to the screen means that fire is coming from a certain direction and that you are getting hit.Getting hit and taking damage always messes up with your display and the sound. Decoy grenades also make the HUD/augmented reality go nuts.Suppression is actually getting pinned down, having the camera focus on your feet.

But that's not what's happening here.

My character yells, "Help! I'm being suppressed!" And my camera zooms in and shakes, so that I cannot return fire. It shouldn't do this when someone shoots as me with a sniper rifle...

Yep had this same thing happen. Looks like it's a bug. But suppressing when hit by an explosion was the intension I do believe. I've be suppressed by all kinds of weapons and failed to suppress enemies with standard weapons (LMGs and Assault rifles) in my tests when they were detected on my screen. So obviously it is a bug since this happens at random. I'm still trying to find someone that I can private match up with to test this. If I do find a solution I'll post it here.

I'm always available to run some tests!

It does seem that normal LMG suppression doesn't even work anymore. I keep being sniped by people I'm suppressing.
