Forget the patch debate between amplify and dead silence for this thread please. Lets assume the sound settings for both perks will remain as they are right now. I would agree with the current sound settings if the cost of equipping dead silence was increased from 2 to 3 to equip. Do you agree with an increase?
Again please do not bring up the current/constant debate of "its not fair i cant hear them, or its not fair they can hear me forever away." Just focus on what other elements could balance out the perks so the cost to equip fits the benefit you receive.
