Silencer Attachment — Detailed Guide
Quieter shots for your firearms
The Silencer Attachment fits onto firearms in ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK: Survival Evolved and lowers the noise they make when fired. Its item text explains how: "The lubricated materials in this silencer slow the gases released from a gunshot, muffling the sounds." The same text names the 
Longneck Rifle, Pistols and the 
Assault Rifle as supported weapons.
What changes when it is fitted
- Players: someone hit by a silenced weapon is not shown which direction the bullet came from, as they normally would be. The ARK Wiki calls it especially useful for stealthy night raids in densely populated areas.
- Creatures: they still notice shots from a suppressed weapon, and the damage debuff creatures have from guns stays in place.
- Smoke: for PvE the wiki points to another gain, less smoke from the gun, which would otherwise hide the target. With the silencer the target stays visible, whether or not the lower sound matters to you. The wiki tested this with the
Fabricated Pistol.
Crafting the silencer
The engram unlocks at level 41 for 13 engram points, and crafting it also requires level 41. The recipe:
- 50
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 20
Chitin, Keratin or 
Shell Fragment - 10
Hide - 5
Oil or Oil (
Tusoteuthis)
A craft takes 10 seconds and gives 49 XP. The wiki lists the 
Smithy, the 
Tek Replicator and the 
Exo-Mek as stations, plus the 
Argentavis, 
Castoroides and 
Thorny Dragon saddles.
