Dead Silence is not immediately available when you start a match. It’s a Field Upgrade that needs time to charge before you use it.

You can activate it by clicking the R1 and L1 buttons or the RB and LB buttons to activate the Field Upgrade. The outside of your screen will have a small, white aura, indicating Dead Silence is activated. It will only work for a limited time.
