If there’s a gunner that’s shooting you and it breaks your toughness, you can’t do anything. You can’t sprint. You can’t dodge. You can’t slide. You can’t shoot. You can’t even swing your damn melee. But, if I’m an ogryn with that twin barrel gun that blasts high caliber rounds at a gunner, wh…

Wait, suppression isn’t meant to be inherent to all ranged weapons? What the hell were we doing in the tutorial then? Also @Seph I was under the impression that suppression on the player was when your character “flinches” while aiming down sights and it disrupts your aim when bullets fly close to y…

I don’t understand suppression I have 8 meters area suppression on close range kill on my Voidstrike staff, literally makes no difference whatsoever even when i blow enemies up point blank

Let’s talk about what suppression is. For some weapons with a suppression/collateral (Two names for the same mechanic, which is dumb) stat, it makes it to where firing at enemies in the distance makes them cower in fear or run away. You can see this behavior in the meat grinder. For some weapons l…

Eh, I’m not so sure about that. I know for certain that your character’s ADS flinches when you are shot near but not hit regardless of your toughness. This seems to line up with what the tutorial thinks suppression is. I have just been referring to slowdown and action interruption on being shot as …

@Seph , I’m not argue what your are saying makes sense and all. But with regards to actual game mechanic’s and logic, their is NO suppression on the Heavy-stubber, the only exception is a blessing whats adds it. Observe exabit A, the might Krourk Mk V Twin-Linked Heavy Stubber. Weapon traits, Tor…

On the first picture, it literally says "Increases the Weapon’s Stagger, Impact, and Suppression. You can even test this out in the Meat Grinder. Even if it doesn’t directly show it as a stat, it does have suppression and it is 100% testable and works exactly as it does on Ripper.

Here’s a video showing that the Stubber and the Ripper both have suppression, and cause enemies to cower in fear and run away when you shoot at them (But not hitting them). [Suppression on Stubber vs. Ripper] Note that this is without any blessings that give suppression on kill or what…

@Seph , Sorry, bad copy past, had to fix the second image, which now shows the collateral list and actual suppression traits listed, with numeric values and what not. And as for that grey on black text, well that indeed part of collateral trait and listed on any weapon with the collateral. Their is…

Yeah, it’s weird that it doesn’t show the suppression as a stat on there (Maybe because it doesn’t actually increase with a higher collateral stat?) But from having used the Stubber on Heresy and Damnation, there’s definitely a noticeable amount of suppression that you can deal to enemies with shoo…

@Seph , Good observation and thanks for video, I’ve been shooting at range at foes and they don’t budge / suppress. I could not make them duck and cower for cover, but once up close and personal I’m actually seeing it. Not seeing the suppression stats listed, complaints about it not working and now…
