CR-9 Suppressor

This semi/full-auto rifle fires miniature, rocket-assisted, fin-stabilized, fragmentation grenades. It's great for suppressing large crowds and taking out lightly armoured targets. The CR-9 is part of the Defender equipment kit. It can be fitted with a bayonet, which increases its usefulness in close quarters (considering a single Suppressor projectile deals enough splash damage to mortally wound a Helldiver in a single shot).

Helldivers start with 5 magazines of Suppressor ammunition, and can carry up to 10. Each magazine contains 15 rounds. If 3 or less rounds remain in the magazine when the weapon is fired, the 'low ammunition' warning sound will play.

Reload time is always 2.5 seconds, whether the magazine has been fully emptied or not. If the weapon is reloaded while there are still rounds left in the magazine, this keeps a round in the chamber. This means a Suppressor with a chambered round gives a total of 16 shots before needing to be reloaded.

Unlock Requirement
The Suppressor is a DLC weapon, available at any rank to those who purchase the Defender equipment kit.

Upgrades
Adding a bayonet to the Suppressor will greatly increase its lethality in close quarters combat. Most medium-level enemies can be killed with one or two stabs of the bayonet. Unshielded Helldivers also die instantly to a bayonet attack, unless they are wearing Heavy Armour. In addition, the bayonet upgrade enables much more effective use of the 'Melee Dodge' move.
