Rifle Suppressor

Puts the pistol suppressor on the rifle in Sons of the Forest. Rifle shots use the suppressed pistol shot sound. You do not need a suppressor in your inventory.

This used to be part of RifleScope and is now its own mod, so you can use either one or both.

Multiplayer

Client side only. Nothing gets installed on a dedicated server, and other players do not need the mod.

Installation

Easiest

Use the Sons of the Forest mod loader in Chrome or Edge.

Easy install

Close the game, open PowerShell and paste:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JustinOros/sotf-riflesuppressor/main/Install.ps1 | iex

It finds your game, installs RedLoader if needed, and installs the latest RifleSuppressor. Run it again any time to update.

Manual install

1. Install RedLoader into your Sons of the Forest folder and launch the game once
2. Download RifleSuppressor.zip from the latest release
3. Extract it into the Mods folder inside your game folder
4. You should end up with:

Mods\RifleSuppressor.dll
Mods\RifleSuppressor\manifest.json

Usage

The suppressor is on as soon as the mod is installed. Equip the rifle and fire.

Press F1 to open the console, then use these commands:

Command	Action
suppressor	Show whether the rifle suppressor is on or off
suppressor on	Put the suppressor on the rifle
suppressor off	Take the suppressor off the rifle

The setting is saved to UserData\RifleSuppressor.txt in your game folder.

If you used the suppressor from RifleScope 1.1.1 or older, update RifleScope to 1.2.0 or newer so the two mods do not both register the suppressor command.

Building from source

Requires the .NET 8 SDK and RedLoader installed with its game assemblies generated.

.\build.ps1 -Install

Use -Package to build RifleSuppressor.zip for a release. Pass -GameDir "path" if the game is not found automatically.

Troubleshooting

Check _RedLoader\Latest.log in your game folder. RifleSuppressor logs a line when it loads.
