Sniper Elite Resistance allows players to modify their weapons with a variety of attachments to switch up their playstyle. Suppressors are one of the most useful attachments to use on your sniper rifle as they greatly reduce the sound of gunshots. It'll allow you to take out targets quietly, without raising the alarms. Although some mask gunshots' sound better than others, here's how you can unlock your first rifle suppressor in the game.

How to Unlock the First Rifle Suppressor in Sniper Elite Resistance

Players can unlock their first rifle suppressor by finding the Rifle Workbench during Mission 2: Dead Drop in Sniper Elite Resistance. The workbench is located in the southwest corner of the map, in a building next to the graveyard. The workbench is located on the first floor of the house, and it's guarded by some soldiers. Here's how you can reach the Rifle Workbench.

Reaching the Rifle Workbench in Mission 2 Dead Drop

After reaching the graveyard in Mission 2: Dead Drop, you'll spot a manor on the left with some boxes stacked near the entrance. Use the boxes to climb to the first floor of the building.

Once you get up to the first floor, watch out for some Nazi soldiers patrolling the area. It's best that you take them out first before entering the building. Once the enemies are taken care of, head inside the entryway in the courtyard on the first floor to enter the manor. Keep heading forward until you reach a padlocked metal gate that you can either pick the lock for or use bolt cutters to unlock.

After unlocking the gate, head inside the room to find several lootable items and a Rifle Workbench beside the wall. Interact with the workbench to unlock the suppressor for your sniper rifle in Sniper Elite Resistance.

Equipping Suppressor on Sniper Rifle

Equipping Maxin 1910 Suppressor in Sniper Elite Resistance

Inside the workbench menu, select your sniper and enter its attachment menu. In the Muzzle section, equip the Maxin 1910 Suppressor.

Equipping the Maxin 1910 Suppressor will reduce the gunshot sound of your sniper rifle from 140m to 91m, which is a significant reduction. Although it's not the most effective suppressor available in the game, it's a great starting attachment that will make your incursions into Nazi compounds a lot more silent.
