== Overview ==

===Operational history===

The Suppressor was first introduced during the [[Kradal conflicts]]. It gained prominence during the [[human-Forerunner war]] and the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].{{Ref/Book|Id=H4EVG|H4EVG|Page=97}} The Suppressor is a fully automatic weapon employing a conventional coil set architecture that fires bolts of [[hard light]] in rapid succession. Its high rate of fire and efficiency against the [[Flood]] led to its widespread use among the Forerunner warriors during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], particularly when attempting to retake vessels captured by the Flood; however, it is similarly effective against all organic matter.{{Ref/Reuse|h4guide}} Thousands of years later, the Suppressor's coil set design was reverse-engineered by the [[Covenant]] for many of their weapons.{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/suppressor|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Universe - Suppressor|D=28|M=10|Y=2021}}

=== Design details ===

The weapon possesses an angular design and metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process. Orange highlights can be seen while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; these highlights grow brighter when the weapon is fired.{{Ref/Reuse|hb927}} The Supressor was manufactured and developed by [[Ferrarius Assembler Vats]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=391}}

 

*'''[[Razor's Edge]]''': As extinction loomed, desperation led the Forerunners to experiment with volatile derivations of hard light. The ''Razor's Edge'' is an advanced Suppressor firing fast-moving metastable energy shards and carrying 48-round magazines. If multiple shards strike a target in 0.9 seconds, they will create a "supercombine" explosion, similar to [[blamite]], but with the ability to cause targets to disintegrate.{{Ref/Game|Id=razor|H5G|[[Razor's Edge]] REQ card|Quote= As extinction loomed, desperation led the Forerunners to experiment with volatile derivations of hard light.

=== Advantages ===

The Suppressor has a large ammunition capacity and deals considerable damage at close range, making it even more lethal to non-shielded infantry. The Suppressor's high rate of fire is very advantageous in close-quarter situations. Although an individual shot from the Suppressor may do little damage to another player, its high rate of fire grants the weapon the fastest killing speed of all primary loadout weapons. The Suppressor is more efficient against unshielded individuals. Using a precision weapon, such as the [[M395 DMR]], with the Suppressor allows the player to be effective at all distances. When paired with the [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistol]], the plasma pistol can be used to eliminate an individual's shields, while the Suppressor is used to kill the now-unshielded enemy.

 

 

 

 

 

* The spread of the weapon's projectiles has been reduced.

=== Changes from Turbo to ''Halo 5: Guardians'' ===

* Shots now track enemies and home in onto weak points, similar to the [[Type-56D needler|Needler]] and [[Z-110 Boltshot|Boltshot]].

** In addition, the weapon now expands while being fired until it hits its maximum firing rate. If not fired again for some time, the weapon compresses and reassembles itself.

* Aiming reticle has shrunk in size.

* Decreased damage, now killing in 18 shots rather than 16.

* Magazine holds 42 rounds rather than 48 rounds.

* Maximum reserve ammo capacity decreased from 288 reserve rounds to 168 reserve rounds.

** The two REQ variants hold up to 240 reserve rounds.

* Reload speed lengthened.

* Melee animations changed.

== Trivia ==

* If Bottomless Clip is enabled in a custom game in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', then the Suppressor will fire only at its starting speed and be unable to reach its maximum firing rate.<ref>[http://imgur.com/a/hiq10 '''Imgur''' - ''After seeing how Forerunner weapons morph when Smart-Link ("aim down sights") is used...'']</ref>

** However, this does not affect the Suppressor's REQ variants.
