I was in a 1v3 situation with three bloodsuckers lol

[deft meteor]

lol if you open ||Dyulapov||'s fridge and steal food he gets mad

[gaunt jungle]

bloody fallout PTSD, saw a curved tree and thought it was a fricking radscrop tail

[static lark]

Ok so to all of you Monolith guys what’s the second coolest faction?

[crystal prairie]

8gb update? hell nah

[ocean kelp]

Love the new have one million rifles in your bag anomaly

[wanton gazelle]

Clear Sky, because they became the Monolith.

[lost prairie]

anyone gotten the english subtitle for "cheeki breeki iv damke" ukrainian dub?

[trail fiber]

I may have gone insane against the bloodsuckers with a Shotgun lol

[weary hedge]

So after SIRCAA did everyone's game just go into full scale war mode

[eager carbon]

you can pass through glass anomaly if you move slow?

[crystal prairie]

shotty the go to option for anything in the game

[oak sparrow]

ALIFE WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[strange otter]

fleshlight cast shadows mod is out boys

[maiden grotto]

just be patient, it is not an easy thing to do.

[weary hedge]

"The zone was peaceful until the monolith attacked..."

[static lark]

And who’s behind them?

[trail fiber]

I learned how many shots they can take, last time I killed five snorks by myself and waltz into Bravo team against three bloodsuckers lol

[gaunt jungle]

being a half-life fan since i was 6, being paitent is a trait i have in abudance

[lost prairie]

other way around. stalker invade monolita land, strelok is evil and should be condemned for taking down the psi barrier

[weary hedge]

[amber plover]

Can’t believe to download this patch is gonna take 4 hours

[nocturne hatch]

goddam scar and strider i should probably accept agathya offer

[wanton gazelle]

They were a bunch of researchers who wanted to discover the nature of the zone. Then Strelok goes into CNPP, causes blowout 2.0, most of them die, the rest became Monolith.

[orchid narwhal]

is there a no going back moment in the story or is there a new game plus?

[frigid hill]

fuyu_hito has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[maiden grotto]

Your not the only one... Although Half-life Alyx was woth the wait. A-Life will be worth it too.

But they seriously need to sort out the AI though.

Was playing earlier, and a bloody sucker was 5 feet away from a squad of friendlies and the just stood their like dribbling zombies...

[stone swift]

Drift stick remain, compliment

[ancient frost]

I probably didn't get far in the game yet ok

[weary hedge]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING HONESTLY - I feel like I caused all of it ngl

[restive storm]

My save files all got corrupted after the update. It crashed and it corrupted all of them

[static lark]

No I mean who’s the 3rd coolest

Also I hate when I finally figure out how to get into stash rooms just for it to be like 6 bandages, vodka, 12 45acp, and 3 sausages

[wild crypt]

skill issue

[shrewd zenith]

Actually lemme tell you that this game will be badass if they'll manage to pull off all the fixes and add CNPP

[gaunt jungle]

the other day i was at the IPSF facility with the dome, i was standing behind a guard for a good 45 seconds before he noticed me

[wanton gazelle]

Freedom probably.

[nocturne hatch]

i managed to get rid of SIRCA and Wards and woke up with dam MONOLITA

[stoic fable]

Would love if these npc's were not all pro basketball players as if they were all Kobe Bryant. Like i had multiple occasions, where they were able to bounce the nades off of walls, ceiling then through a hole and lands 100% directly on my feet. WHY ARE THEY LIKE THAT.

[weary hedge]

I love monolith but they're being a bit too proactive for my tastes

[maiden grotto]

They got some work to do, but it is a project of love and they will get it sorted.

Just going to take some time though

[vast tartan]

Most of time I don't even see the grenade. I just run every time I hear it bouncing.

[weary hedge]

Monolith wont even drink. How can I trust someone who wont drink with me?

[stoic fable]

Stay in place and its always 100% accurate, it will always land exactly right at your feet. There is zero misses, yes it forces you to move and makes it so you're not styaing in place, but come on the accuracy is insane and always 100%.

[static lark]

Once again F**ck Monolith

[gaunt jungle]

tried 0451 on a code door, access denied, eh, was worth a try

[strange otter]

Монолит – это свет и знание, знание и свет. Он вернется .... вернется

cause the monolith built like that

[weary hedge]

monolith built like straight bitches

[static lark]

I should probably learn Ukrainian, I’ll add that on the list of languages I need to learn

[maiden grotto]

It's Clear Sky all over again... They used to bounce impossible nades all the time... Was amazing, cover was pointless againt nades....

Wonderful times.

[lost prairie]

praise happiness 💙 , condemn aggressors 😡

[wary breach]

nah we strong we kicked yall ass you stupid greenhorn and we will do it again you poopy head also dont forget about how good we are with grenades we the lebron of the zone

[scenic ice]

So is weird water just bugged for some people

[junior jetty]

hi all new to server, am looking for help on stalker 2 stashes that I cant find, or are maybe bugged? is this the channel to be asking these questions?

[plucky tulip]

wat ?

[sterile bolt]

Where is the ward at the northeastern checkpoint im there but I see no one

[maiden grotto]

Where do I go to post some bugs etc? Is it the official support channels only?

[strange otter]

Yes!

[weary hedge]

Who would win? An entire army of cucked fanatics with no booze or bitches, or one strelok with a fort 12 and a dream?

[wary breach]

we would he has plot armour so not a fair fight

[wanton gazelle]

Strelok literally takes control of them in one of S2 endings. By that logic he's also cucked?

[scenic ice]

Weird water isn’t showing up for me, waited through several emissions and did the stupid save scumming tricks and this mf is just gone.

[tender gulch]

Spoilers in my spoilers-allowed channel

[fleet lake]

[strange otter]

Strelok is balding, he already lost in life, monolith wins🫡

Will never not be funny to me

[bleak mantle]

hello

[unreal knot]

I just fell through an elevator and died due to fall damage and then loaded my checkpoint on top of the elevator trapped in a shaft lmao

[wary breach]

oh god dam we got the monolith in the server, he has come back for thy children

[vagrant mulch]

1.5 hour to install the new update….

[zealous goblet]

Is this a 3rd update!?

[wary breach]

this is spoilers

[long shuttle]

thoughts on two updates? is game better now?

[static lark]

Ah yes let’s put a guy with a TOZ-34 in the watch tower this is smart (said bandits apparently)

[vagrant mulch]

2nd

[wanton gazelle]

If you pray to the Monolith hard enough, you might even get a 3rd patch.

[crimson dove]

hmmmm whens the patch where they ADD NIGHT VISION

[cunning plover]

Not for everyone, but for someone.. yeah. for sure.

[zealous goblet]

That took like maybe 2 mins tops to dl? Y so long for u

[wary breach]

We thank you, oh Monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us.

[quartz anvil]

but you always use RPGs at me in radar!

[dry flicker]

is crash fixed ?

[wanton gazelle]

Must be severe lack of faith.

[long shuttle]

a played first update 1 hour, and seems game worked little worse, now i played 2. update 30min and seems game is back to normal,

[cunning plover]

Most of them. Still crashing on me, for example.

[indigo lintel]

anyone know how to get SSP-100I Survey?

[bleak mantle]

work hard

[wary breach]

skill issue join the monolith today

[sterile bolt]

Malachite

[elfin cloak]

how much will the DLC cost in the game?

[maiden grotto]

How many ending are there in game?

[crystal prairie]

there will be mp dlc right?

[indigo lintel]

malachite only sells discovery version not survey

[paper dune]

the c in c-conciousness stands for cuck

[knotty cedar]

I killed the first monolithian I met because he killed my friends' friends

[silk falcon]

Everyone has killed your friends friends in the zone.

[deft meteor]

i've killed my friends in the zone

[sterile bolt]

I got survey from the girl that sells guns also

[knotty cedar]

I try to be nice guy

[strange otter]

Monolith gave us strength, opened our eyes

[tender gulch]

No they canceled it, they are doing lootbox DLC instead

[cunning plover]

Monolith are so good.. that will fix A-Life before GSC. Trust me.

[static lark]

What’s spark about?

[indigo lintel]

ahh I'm checking her store right now but she only has discovery sadly, ah well I guess I'll just rock my seva-I until I find a good exoskeleton

[deft meteor]

Shot by loners.
Died in an anomaly.

[sterile bolt]

try sleeping should reset the shop , if not try sleeping twice

[dry flicker]

this new stalker game looks good its all old games map mixed into 1 i like it

[lost prairie]

make the zone great again

[static lark]

Do you like running? If so you’ll hate the Exoskeleton (besides the late game ones that let you run)

[indigo lintel]

that actually worked thank you man, and yeah @static lark not being able to sprint is a deal breaker, I'll just rock the survey until I find something late game

[nocturne hatch]

trust MONOLITH ! and The Wish Granter !

[knotty cedar]

They helped independent scientists in the zone

[wary breach]

the MONOLITH IS ALL

[stoic pebble]

Man theyre really pushing the patches now huh??? im not complaining its just surprising to see 2 in the same weekend

[deft meteor]

i like how in 2/3 stalker games the military warehouse is depressing and desolate

[static lark]

I wish I could get the Dnipro already, the Decider is great and all but I miss my AKs 45 round mag

[paper dune]

2 patches and I literally got softlocked by a closed door before the ending 😂

[wide gulch]

How them balance changes feeling after peeps have had a chance to play again after 1.01? Still thinking I'm gonna let it cook for A-Life and then start a new playthrough.

fr they suck but they did give me a exo sooo

[oak sparrow]

where is quit and does he sell good stuff?

[static lark]

The Ward Armor looks kinda cool tbh

[nocturne hatch]

I didn't like them at first glance in the lesser zone, so I'm glad that I blew them up at sirca

[stoic pebble]

nah if you sided with ward over scar and the sparkers, youre an op for life

[bleak venture]

Hello yal... How is the stalker 2 game? A banger or not?

[frigid hill]

d3m0n1x has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[static lark]

Yeahhhhh the Ward seems kinda…

[robust raft]

Its the banger. This is like the 2nd good game that came out this year

[bleak venture]

Does it have the classic buggy jittery weird shi that happens in older games? (gahd dayum 30 sec per comment for what... (what the... 2 minuts per comment? ).... Welp good to know it has

[strange otter]

yup

[trail fiber]

I got "the good, the bad, and the ugly" achievement let's go

[sterile bolt]

What’s the 1st

[wide gulch]

The uh... list of "badwords" is a bit extensive huh? For a Stalker game with F-bombs? Wild

[paper dune]

dragon age veilguard obviously

[rough cypress]

Patch

[static lark]

GOTY tbh

[bleak venture]

Nope... Goty for shadow of erdtree boi

[eternal cosmos]

Stalker will not get GOTY maybe when they fix all things and add A life

[robust raft]

Farming simulator ‘25

[sterile bolt]

Based

[paper dune]

whoever played the game beyond SIRCAA and still considers it GOTY needs to have their pissing privileges taken away. i cast bladder explosion upon thee

[deft meteor]

Throughout every stalker game i have found that the best weapon is a Semi automatic AS VAL. Name a scenario, it can do it.

[rough cypress]

Anal

[strange otter]

farming simulator 25 so good

[knotty cedar]

Ak74 all u need, ez mode

[wary breach]

ward is just the bad version of the army

[weary forge]

Stalker 2 needs more patches like fixing a life,bug fixes, ai intelligence

[cunning plover]

And monolith!

[paper dune]

so... just a regular army?

[marble folio]

guys when dlc ? anyone knows it ?

[hardy totem]

mall soldiers

[weary hedge]

PRAISE MONOLITH, ENLIGHTEN OUR SOULS WITH YOUR LIGHT

[static lark]

ISPF also looks cool but they shot at me so

[junior stump]

Is there an estimated date for when the ||zalisya defense bug|| will be patched? It’s the ||only way to change sides that far into the game||

[weary forge]

Probably not for a while till they fix the patches

[violet glade]

mine was somehow immortal.

[formal steppe]

When we gonna get Cigarettes in the game lol im trying to have a smoke after i pound a bottle of vodka or a beer ykno

[rough cypress]

about time to start talking about a patch every day again right?

[wary breach]

yea just a more expensive army because of all the gear etc

[paper dune]

wdym change sides? pretty sure youre not locked from any ending at that point yet

[robust raft]

So i made a mistake. All of my guns (2 of them) were 2% working and i didnt want to be at a disadvantage when choosing to run from the ward. So i told them in not your enemy. Now everyone calls me a poopoo head.

[junior stump]

I know but I don’t want to side with scar, I hate scar and helping him get the emitter and install it isn’t cool I hate the monolith

[eager carbon]

do choices actually matter in this game or its another disappointment like every recent story game

[weary hedge]

It's basically two routes

[weary forge]

There's 4 endings

[rough cypress]

give it a coin flip on that

[dreamy trail]

my game does not start after updates. just black screen. anyone else having this issue?

[robust raft]

Even though i dont want to side with the ward

[paper dune]

zalissya has nothing to do with what ending you get, you lock yourself out of choices much further into the game

[weary hedge]

did anyone else let zalyissa die and kill everyone in rookie village? The zone has no place for amatures and I think I did everyone a favor

[covert warren]

Did you verified the integrity of the files?

[junior stump]

I know, but I don’t want to help scar with the emitters. I hate scar. And I have no other choice but to get him the emitter and install it without the zalisya defense working

[dreamy trail]

it started working after I deleted all mods(ARS pack)

[quick spire]

Guys, I've just found ||cuiras exosteleon|| in some warehouse and I cannot run. Is it a bug?

[weary hedge]

I have a feeling siding with scar gives me the most unhinged ending and that's what I want

[gentle plume]

Loving the patch rn

[mellow wagon]

Fellas, question about Cordon ||does any quests or side quest takes you to Cordon at some point? I just finished defeding Zalissya btw||

[mild marsh]

did the dev overtune the saiga 12d with that insane firerate?

[robust raft]

Does anyone feel like this isnt scar, like the scar we played in clear sky was more like a duty guy. This new scar is eccentric and animated seems weird and off putting to me

[leaden wadi]

nope. exoskeletons are VERY heavy. the only game that exos can run in is iirc call of pripyat, through an upgrade. don't know if such upgrade is a thing in stalker 2.

[paper dune]

you get choice to romance dalin which makes you destroy the emitter

[gentle plume]

I should of replayed the trilogy to refresh my memory cus I be getting modded stuff mixed with the actual lore

[robust raft]

Yes, natural game progression takes you everywhere

[dark coral]

i hate how i need to spend 30 minutes on every location to find out how to get inside something/on the rooftop of something and reward is like bottle of vodka and 2 breads

[junior stump]

When I go to install it in that place after I talk to scar?

[oak sparrow]

where can I find trader quit

[paper dune]

my man survived 3 emissions he can be a little goofball, as a treat

[weary hedge]

@magic vigil its time

[minor breach]

I WAS JUST SWARMED BY A PACK OF RATS.

They devoured me like a pack of piranhas. O_O

[quick spire]

is it good then? No running seems like a quite a handicap for me

[sudden garden]

Does anyone know how and where i can get the Grom Drum Mag/ GP37 Drum Mag and the Saiga drum Mag?

[wary breach]

i hate fighting them

[rocky lava]

Hi everyone

[leaden wadi]

it is still the best suit of armor, yeah

[deft meteor]

if the rats give you issue i really have no idea what to tell you

throw a grenade

[paper dune]

just play the game stinky poopoohead

[gentle plume]

Forgive me guys I'm getting modded stuff mixed with the trilogy 😔

[sudden garden]

Does anyone know how and where i can get the Grom Drum Mag/ GP37 Drum Mag and the Saiga drum Mag?

[hasty token]

note most exoskeletons can get a running upgrade to them

[weary hedge]

Why no mutant chickens?

[deft meteor]

consider the following: An upgraded Seva Suit can hold 3 Compasses + Whichever other artifact you want, giving you more damage protection than an Exo while still having the benefits of a SEVA, namely repair cost and the upgrades it can have.

The SEVA suit is the best suit all around. I do not care for the exoskeleton and never have in any of the games. It is inferior to a kitted out SEVA

[junior stump]

I’m waiting until they fix the zalisya defense bug so I can switch sides, like I said I don’t want to side with scar or help him

[leaden wadi]

true but please consider that i am rather attracted to your mother

[paper dune]

youll be very upset after they fix it and you realise zalisya defense has nothing to do with switch any sides, i told you 3 separate times youre not really siding with anyone at that point yet

[sudden garden]

@everyone Please Help🔥Does anyone know how and where i can get the Grom Drum Mag/ GP37 Drum Mag and the Saiga drum Mag?

[gentle plume]

You're not ready for that. They're stronger than bloodsuckers

[weary hedge]

saiga has no drum, the extended is in pryp, also dont tag everyone you moron, google IGn interactive map, itll tell you where everything is

[deft meteor]

nice job man

[weary hedge]

Corundum suit only, PRAISE MONOLITH

[dreamy pagoda]

Cant get into the settlement on wild Island second door is still locked After Talking to the gut upfront any workarounds ?

[ivory sentinel]

In stalker gamma what do I do with guns if I can't sell them? I dismantle them for the good parts ofc but do I just leave them

[eager carbon]

is this scar guy the one from the other games? didnt he die? also was it a good idea to give him the pda

[robust raft]

Wanderer suit is peak gtFOH monnie boi

[weary hedge]

My guy I am the one who simply walked to the wish granter and knocked. I'm ready for anything.

[hasty token]

scar is the guy you play as in clear sky

[leaden wadi]

i just realize why and are called that. lmao. ||they used this character to replace strelok in the trailers so we wouldn't know it was strelok. because that'd be a big spoiler||

[junior stump]

Oh really? My bad I thought it had to do with swapping sides. So I should go back to “helping” scar? Then I can change sides soon?

[paper dune]

im gonna smear poo on your bathroom doorknob and tell your nan it was you

[gentle plume]

You're not ready yet young stalker 🗿

[humble plover]

I find it annoying how some sights are exclusive to certain guns when all of them use Picatinny rails

[weary hedge]

I know I have it fully upgraded but guess what, it's a monolith outfit

[eager carbon]

yeah but didnt he die in the brainscorcher and his grave was in pripyat?

[deft meteor]

they were named that well before this was known info btw

cool theory, but wrong

[robust raft]

Lies

[hasty token]

im guessing he survived it or a slight retcon happened

[leaden wadi]

we didn't know; they did, though. i think they played the long game.

[junior stump]

What why

[dawn quail]

||is the door to the Zalissya Mainbuilding supposed to be locked when you're trying to start the defend Zalissya questline??||

[jagged roost]

Just finished this awesome adventure. A bit surprised that if you start a new game even overriding your saves it still shows the amount of time you’ve played and still keeps your death count too.

[stark crescent]

i dont like the rhino. i shot like, 20 shots with it, and it already needs 2000 in repairs. like what the hell.

[weary hedge]

It's literally striders old kit, there's nothing wrong with that though- PRAISE MONOLITH

[tender gulch]

Rhino supremacy

You just have a skill issue tbh

[fiery vapor]

wake up and stalker is patching again. why

[twilit pivot]

Im having a issue with the quest “once more unto the breach” it tells me to go to an underground tunnel inside a building but the door to this building isnt opening the open button is greyed out
tried to fix this with reloading saves for an hour

is this a know issue?

[humble plover]

Scar is such a Chad he resisted the c consciousness brainwashing and made it out alive

[weary hedge]

wait until you get some of the nicer guns that are dumb expensive. be thankful you little shit

[hard juniper]

stuck on subtle matter quest, have anyone find the solution?

[hasty token]

yes but if you look inside and see monolith thats not normal and need to kill them with commands to progress, then you need to teleport out and back to zalyssia after you do the quests and do the celebration

[robust raft]

Model competitor is peak, you poors can keep the rhino

[deft meteor]

what the GAMMA are you talking about bro.

[weary hedge]

The rhino is actually too OP for me to use it on a good conscious

[mellow garden]

can reputation in villages get better then green one on map?

[eager carbon]

man i played all 3 games and i know one of streloks friends was dead in the brain scorcher, if not scar then someone else. and their grave was in pripyat

[weary hedge]

ghost iirc

[jagged roost]

If you’re stuck on a quest Google “ Stalker 2 * name of quest * that way you can read to the point your at to see if it’s a bug or maybe something you need to do.

[static lark]

I’ve just realized you can examine your artifacts

[hasty token]

fun fact ||you can see fangs body near pripyat i think in stalker 2, i know i saw it somewhere||

[deft meteor]

scar isnt even close to being streloks friend, your goal in Clear Sky is literally to kill strelok. evidently you havent played "all three games". back to gamma with you little man, bye bye.

[sage vessel]

zalissya still broken:(

[weary hedge]

strelok had no friends, he shot everyone who got in his way

[eager carbon]

what a dumbass. i could bet money you didnt play the original trilogy

[deft meteor]

also simply incorrect. strelok had a crew. it's shown in every cutscene and multiple missions.

[woeful hornet]

Yup poor hamster.

[static lark]

Question how do I put Bandages in my hotkey thingy (I’m on console)

[weary hedge]

before he lost his memory yeah, i played through that game with only shooting everyone unless i couldnt, idc i wanted the loot

[robust raft]

Press start, then quick access

[wary breach]

inv

[sage vessel]

almost 100 hours of gameplay:(((, I think I'll go play mgsv until they fix this

[junior current]

god this game is so good i cant wait for the sdk to come out

[hasty token]

i tried invading the chemical plant and found out they put invincible guys with LMGs in there so you cant fully take it over

[deft meteor]

payday came early boys 🤑

[static lark]

Buket S-2 best SMG in game fight me

[stark crescent]

personally, i use the gambit. uses same ammo as riemann ( a-10 integral), but can be supressed and is actually quite damaging.

[wary breach]

easy ammo good firerate i cant complain

[weary hedge]

same reason i let everyone die in zalyssa and shot up rookie village in this game, more loot = more money and rookies dont belong in the zone @deft meteor

[robust raft]

Wrong, Reinard is best smg in game.

[sage vessel]

mac10>>>

[sharp otter]

Interesting, I picked up a guitar in Zal, but it didnt end up in my inventory. Anyone know more about this?

[deft meteor]

feeling edgy today aren't we? 8th grade got you feeling down?

[stark crescent]

what is weirder, is that the regular buket s-2 can take a silencer, increasing its range, where the spitter cant take a silencer. even tho its identical.

[hybrid scroll]

It's an interactable item at campfires. It doesn't go into inventory really

[weary hedge]

I just need money for all these repairs, not my fault the game lets me kill em lol

[robust raft]

Hotwheel and on the bottom itll ask to play guitar

[jagged roost]

Press on the right thumb stick while holding LB to play it. There’s an achievement tied to playing it with fellow Stalkers

[deft meteor]

you do know that you lose money by fighting everyone you see, right? you're just an edgelord bro 😭

the guns are always broken, at most you'll be able to sell ammo, log off for the night kiddo it's time for bed

[silk falcon]

Farm near and sell weapons to Ragman. He don't care.

[weary hedge]

Use the pistol for maximum profit return, sell to ragman, i aint losing nothing

[stark crescent]

is it actually possible to kill everyone you meet in this game? like. first thing you do in a new playthrough. just kill everyone and see how much it takes to break hte game?

[static lark]

The spitter has a Muzzle Brake which inhibits the suppressor

[junior current]

i want two mac 10s and the capability to dive like in sleeping dogs. jus sayin

[weary hedge]

Havent tried, only shot up rookie village for easy loot to be honest, everyone else i left alone aside from letting zalissa die\

[deft meteor]

OR artifact hunt, make 30x the money, and explore new areas to sell rare items (suits, unique guns, etc). stay broke

[static lark]

Main Quest Spoilers Ahead
||uhoh i made scar mad I showed the Unusal PDA to the Ward but i also showed it to him is this bad?||

[quick kelp]

no, showing unusual PDA to everyone is best imo. The real decision comes at sirca

[hybrid scroll]

When they call you a snitch as if you've made some promise to anyone lol

[silk falcon]

I've had crap luck with artifacts. Found two of the 60,000k ones, but can't use them yet without more rad protection.

[weary hedge]

"stay broke" #📸┃screenshots_and_videos i loot everything, including artifacts. Everything.

[deft meteor]

wont matter, youre not locked into the quest until SIRCAA

but some choices you make early will drastically help either faction. some ward choices make noon easier, etc

[hasty token]

Weird water takes care of all radiation as it just nullifies it

[static lark]

Literally haven’t met them yet, showed the PDA to the only people who’ve been willing to work with me, and it’s me being a “snitch”

[weary hedge]

Since we got stalker 2 I feel it's only right we get a priboi story 2 as well

[hybrid scroll]

Yup. Not like skiff was ever a stalker up to this point. Bro has zero allegiance to any faction

[quick kelp]

Yeah they call you a snitch but that's it. Just verbal assault 🙂 worth it for the ward badge imo. Like I said SIRCA is real choice

[placid sable]

is the quest line still bugged after the patch? i just made the decision yesterday based on that

[static lark]

Yeah which path helps Noon the most? I like the idea of Noon but I was told that no matter what they’re cooked

[deft meteor]

uh idk bruh you tell me, what did you choose? i cant tell you if its broken or not if i dont know wtf youre doing lol

[indigo meteor]

whats the difference between the first and second game besides the graphics?

[sharp otter]

I decided to roll back my save until before I approached ||SIRCAA|| and the only issue ive had afterwards was ||A certain character dying due to a bug, but he got back afterwards by some magic means||

[weary hedge]

you get to see strelok throw it back in first person in this game

[silk falcon]

Each game tells a different story about the zone.

[robust raft]

Storywise its allot and confusing, specially when you play the prequel and the sequel.

[placid sable]

thanks

[open minnow]

I beat korshunov, and whenever I talk to dalin and watch the cutscene, right after it, the game ends up crashing, cutscenes havent usually crashed before in the past and im running lowest graphics

[indigo meteor]

gameplay wise, I should have prefaced

[weary hedge]

ngl I played through all three at least twice before I started to understand wtf was going on, it was confusing asf at best

[deft meteor]

you cant save noon but getting the ward badge helps you throughout the entire game because you can just show it to people and they'll be like "ah okay he's important"

you can skip massive quests and many fights if you have it.

overall very useful item

[stark crescent]

appearently, theres a random transport anomaly in the middle of rostok...

[oak sparrow]

bro is PSO 4x scope bugged? I swear it looked different few days ago

[chrome glacier]

Why does the duga snipers one shot ? I am soft locked out of the second mission. Does anyone have a route not involving them ?

[worldly wasp]

i converted the vector to .45 but it still says it can only use 9x19.

[deft meteor]

a lot of the time a standard weapon is better than a unique weapon unless completely overhauled (think clusterf*ck)

[rocky lava]

Rest in peace wolf

[rare lichen]

does anyone know if there's a mod that modifies what slots a gun can fit in? I'd love to be able to put the buket in the pistol slot

[spiral tree]

I like this bug where the game just randomly gives you weapons and equips them for you

[robust raft]

Theyre using gauze rifle to shoot, you can go to the very very far left of the area where the abandoned post is, just stay in the trees and youll be fine

[hasty token]

Do you guys prefer the sotnyk or the decider for the Dnipro

[chrome glacier]

Appreciate it 👍 alot!

[quick kelp]

how'd a bug like that just happen 😭 I'm getting it too

[versed pivot]

anyone know if someone is planning to make a mod so you can continue your save after you finish the game

[static lark]

The Decider isn’t a Dnipro it’s a Fora-221

[olive stag]

Hey guys, big shout out to bsg, the patches are great!

[turbid heron]

How is zalissya still broken

[high gazelle]

keeps removing my spaz12 and equips a severely damaged sniper rifle... go to fight a monster and... ahhh fk...

[deft meteor]

really wish this game would stop randomly giving me Crackers lmao

[ebon blade]

No Spoilers chat is in red. Spoilers chat is in green. Just a reminder if you do not know. You are in the green zone.

[quick kelp]

it's putting a pistol in my primary

[hasty token]

i think it has to do with the zombies not spawning and the game places the weapons in your inventory when it happens

[static lark]

It’d be nice if it wasn’t always storming ffs

[umbral bison]

???why does this gaqme have to 'update' the entire 125gb every time? fell asleep waiting for it last night, now again tonight gonna have to wait another 2 hours

[deft pollen]

Economy still scuffed tbh. Clear out a base of monolothians, sell all their yellow guns, barely make a profit after repairs

[olive stag]

does it really load the 125gb again and again?

[fathom crypt]

don't repair just sell at yellow

[stark crescent]

the only thing that still continues to be broken, is that friendly non essential npc's still die when htey enter the building

[quick kelp]

sniper on the hill goes from completed to failed near wave 2 as well. Idk how far the ramifications go for that whether it's just cosmetic or what

[static lark]

I’m convinced the Wards main mission is to make my life hard why did you take away Diode

[umbral bison]

did last night, doing it again tonight with the 1.02 patch, not sure why it has to redo the entire 125gb each time though instead of just the relevent files. Its like its not even a patcher it just redownloads a new verision and overwrites the old one

[violet dune]

is there a pistol with silencer and red dot in stalker 2? i want combination between Deadeye and UDP compact

[olive stag]

well that's weird. When i got the two patches, it only downloaded the 12 gb and shortly after that i could play

[quick kelp]

there's a unique pistol with both of those. Maybe even 2 uniques that I know off. Or you could just make one yourself @umbral bison fyi the updates are 10/14gbs each. They just install over the game. So if your drive is old then it'll take a while to update. My drive takes 2 mins to install the 120gb

[sterile pagoda]

Does anyone know what the best artifact in the game is?

[hasty token]

it should download the update but steam does say it patches the entire 125 GB whenever an update happens

[violet dune]

i cant make. you cant put red dot on udp or silencer on deadeye. but nice to know there is possible to get one in game

[rare lichen]

so it's not adding 10/14gbs, but replacing/modifying 10/14 gigs?

[boreal coyote]

anyone know if there is a mod that replaces the currency with roubles? this is literally unplayable

[rocky lava]

My game froze help

[turbid heron]

Well guess im still stuck on the zalissya quest. Apparently getting rid of the trade bug was more important than getting rid of the death barrier in the doorway

[hasty token]

depends what you want, weird water takes care of all radiation from other artifacts and almost doubles the weight threshold, weird ball helps a ton with bullet damage, compass is all round best for physical protection, and thunderberry helps a ton with your stamina, otherwise other than those 4 i would do either weird nut or hypercube for bleed

[quick kelp]

No it's downloading 10/14gbs and replacing 130gbs or patching out 130gbs. It probably isn't adding it either. Since these updates are code updates and not adding any new content to the game

[high gazelle]

just need to add some zeros aftr the decimal place 😛

[serene barn]

i'm not that far in i think/hope, but the only pistol i have seen with a sight was was Deadeye.

[glass sinew]

Q: Does holding a scanner impact pistol performance in any way? Less accuracy/what not?

[serene barn]

none of the sights i have seen has mentioned being able to go on any of the pistols either besides that one 2x that can go on the Rhino.

[sterile pagoda]

Does anyone know why i dont have the journalist stash in zalissynya?

[jagged roost]

Did you get the usb stick ?

[static lark]

F**k the Ward

[umbral bison]

@quick kelp are you on steam or gamepass? maybe its the way its on gamepass, but both last patch and this one it says nothing about a 10/14gbs it just says 'Updating 13% 17.7gb of 125.2gb' right now, did same last night

[runic yacht]

Which media chat allows spoilers #📸┃screenshots_and_videos or #📸┃screens_and_videos ?

[quick kelp]

I'm gamepass. Took me 20 mins to install and download the update. Probably more like 5/10 mins.

Either your drive is stinky. Or your internet is stinky lol or both

[solemn maple]

"Pripyat is not for the weak"
Pssh... Yeah, alright...
Gets one shot by a sniper in a guard tower.

[noble sigil]

anyone know why i get random FPS drops? i normally sit at 100-90 runs fine most of the time

[serene barn]

if the tower is what i think it is, that guy HAS to be immortal or something because i shot him in the head several times

[sterile pagoda]

does anyone know where to find the usb stick to get PTM monloth stash in zalyssina?

[static lark]

Which Faction is the “F**k all the other factions” faction?

[oak junco]

monolith

[lone wyvern]

#📸┃screenshots_and_videos message who is

[oak junco]

unless you mean specifically in stalker 2

[quartz anvil]

duty, mercs, and monolith all have a philosophy of "screw other factions we are best faction for this zone!"

[wary breach]

bandits

[oak junco]

renegades aswell actually

[quick kelp]

your own faction

[rocky lava]

The tech guy does not have a left leg right now

[indigo lintel]

which factions would malachite be? sorry had to edit, I'm just not sure of malachites allignment

[runic yacht]

Thank you, it's just that here on mine both channels were in the stalker tab, possible spoilers

[oak junco]

good question tbh

[gilded wharf]

Monolith.

[vernal crescent]

Why is there another update so soon?

[sterile pagoda]

Does anyone know how i find the USB to get zallissnya journalist stash?

[quartz anvil]

oh and bandits? renegades is sort of a bandit branch i would say maybe they are just a faction that is hiding from the law basicly during the chaos and smuggle illegal goods though the cordon to profit

[ebon blade]

I have 97 channels. Not sure how it looks for regular members.

[summer sluice]

veteran difficulty, i forget what its called but its the area just west of chemical plant

[patent jackal]

Gotta push him

[hybrid scroll]

Why not?

[jagged roost]

https://gamerant.com/stalker-2-zalissya-journalists-stash-get-how/

[serene barn]

i think i remember seeing it on the window sill by the bed after sleeping in it.

[static lark]

Should I show Strider the PDA?

[sterile pagoda]

even if the village is not active?? cuz its not active anymore

[summer sluice]

because they are fixing stuff? lol

[vernal crescent]

Christ I wasn't attacking anything or even critical. I was just curious what was in the update.

You guys are actually freaks.

[serene barn]

uhh that sounds like a later in the story thing than i am so idk

[dense quartz]

Thats something a freak would say

[violet dune]

i feel like you just attacked

[strange otter]

Join monolith 🫡

[wary breach]

yea

[sterile pagoda]

guys im late in the story and i cant seem to get the journalist stash in zallysia

[high gazelle]

chill dude, your overreacting to nothing

[hybrid scroll]

It's not that serious guy lol. The zone forgot to give you a sense of humor 😂

[indigo lintel]

Some major quests including main story line ones were fully bugged, they had to release a patch asap

[idle swan]

they werent lying about the new patch breaking the game

[summer sluice]

u ask why there was an update not whats in the update
no one is freaking out but u lol

[static lark]

Noon can’t drink alcohol? might be the worst faction now tbh

[gilded wharf]

That is the most spineless way to react to a common sense answer, be fr.

[dawn quail]

||There's no monolith inside, how do I unlock the door?||

[serene barn]

there was a link for it in the announcement but basically not much at all. some was fixes for story quests. still no fix for the 2 side quests i have but can't do because door stuck and my arena won't get ready for my 4th round.

[violet dune]

we all need some good cheeki breeki

[indigo lintel]

I heard that gets fixed when you progress main story a little, I had the same issue

[hasty token]

the door is meant to unlock after you kill the wave of monolith, or alternatively you could ghost through the door to check for monolith, or just run the kill bind to kill any monolith around anyways

[vernal crescent]

Crazy, I'm only about 50 percent of the way through I think. I really dislike the pacing lol

[sterile pagoda]

Does anyone know if its possible to get journalist stash zallissya late in game without having the delux edition?

[serene barn]

i have been doing the story today so i guess i will pay to see if the door is now unstuck lol, but the arena thing wasn't fixed earlier when i was selling my red guns i had been saving.

[patent jackal]

Pacing is amazing.
Love how slow it is.
Way too many subway surfer adhd shooters out there.
Slow is better :>

[dawn quail]

||There was no wave of monolith. As far as I know the monolith died before I arrived, but the door just.. won't open. I got Dialogue from a Exo wearer outside to head on it but the door remained locked||

[ivory snow]

when do i get the USB stick for my ultimate bouns am on the back to the slag heap mission

[icy idol]

new patch when?

[junior current]

i agree the pacing is part of what makes the game so immersive, its great

[indigo lintel]

I do a couple of main story missions then go out exploring, etc no need to rush the main missions there is so much to explore

[weary hedge]

When next patch

[bitter sparrow]

DAMN that TORNADO is sickkkkk

[hasty token]

try UETools_Ghost to walk inside, then do UETools_Walk to get out of noclip mode

[patent jackal]

It'll also only get quicker when they drop the a-life fixes.
Honestly a shame, sometimes I dont mind holstering my gun for 20min at all.

[serene barn]

frankly i like a long story. gives me time to get sidetracked and loot.

[violet dune]

this game is 30% main story, 70% exploring. this is why we love stalker

[gilded wharf]

Facts Goblin, speak your truth.

[deft pollen]

Gunplay doesn't get enough praise

[serene barn]

i still wish a little that the RPM either did more damage and was properly fed in x54 ooor, it didn't kick so much just from the x39 it's being given

[unborn grove]

Has anyone at all found the ultimate edition exoskeleton? There wasn't a journalist stash for it. I can't find it.

[unique belfry]

I can't get the quest marker to hide from the emission to go away.. will this correct itiself next emission?

[silver flax]

where or how do i report bugs?

[warped stream]

i swear that and the drum mag saiga dont exist

[ivory snow]

okay so i didnt get the usb stick in my stash or quest

[restive storm]

Does anybody know how to find the real psi dog because I keep shooting them for 10 minutes and even the clones are cloning themselves and there are like 20 psi dog clones.

[spiral tree]

run into the one you cant walk through

[serene barn]

where have you looked? for the USB stick

[boreal coyote]

i got it in the last mission

[errant shell]

Welcome to the zone. What works for me is I like to lead them to Friendly’s or other bandits.

[sharp flame]

Not sure how many people are aware, but for anyone who wants to free roam at the end of the game, Im to understand the mission 'down below' is the point of no return... Hard save before starting that mission if you want to free roam

[quick kelp]

the arena gave me real PTSD with the psi dogs.

[ivory snow]

in my personal stash

[gusty leaf]

Guys.
I started a new game, but I’m experiencing an issue where Jalissya's bed is deactivated, so I can’t sleep.
Has anyone else experienced or resolved this issue?

[weary hedge]

lol shoot faster, look for the one that has blood coming out of it, thats the real one

[serene barn]

so you haven't slept in the bed in Zilli and then looked at the window sill?

[restive storm]

Im at the arena, I cant shoot faster with a shotgun. There are blood coming out of clones too btw. And, I can`t pass through the clones too.

[sharp flame]

Pistol, when the dog you shoot doesn't evaporate, thats the real one... In the arena I actually ran out of ammo an had like 15 of those psi dogs runnin round, I had to knife an climb crates an managed to find the real one an knife it to death before I died, was on about 5% hp left after that fight lol

[stoic pebble]

if youre fighting the psydodogs then yeah i hated that fight too. hop onto a box and try and find the real one

[weary hedge]

welp... keep shooting ig

[quick kelp]

yeah I was parkouring around the arena. Usually the real one just stands still

[junior jetty]

if you sprint fast in the arena right as it starts you can catch the dog off guard and shotgun it

[ivory snow]

i did sleep in the lesser zone let me go there now

[serene barn]

i ain't like 100% sure but i think that's how i remember getting mine early enough on my run.

[sonic owl]

Ok so what's up with the Sprint bug? No exo, no over weight, just purely can't sprint... No keybind problem.
So far restarted game, emptied inventory, swapped armors, nothing helped...
What is going on?

No hunger problem either

That slowmo is horrible

[tacit dawn]

Has anyone got a bug and can't run anymore? no matter what I do can't fix it.

[sharp flame]

Man imagine the devs using the arena as a pvp area that you get instanced in, talk to npc to get added to the que lol

[weary hedge]

@sonic owl have you rebinded to another key?

[quick kelp]

lmao two at once. Sounds rough for you chaps
@silk falcon nah I think it's a genuine bug seen a few mention this issue

[silk falcon]

Are you hungry?

[quick spire]

geez walking in exoskeleton is like walking simulator now. transportation is not 95% of gametype

[tacit dawn]

Lol yea it's horrible

[weary hedge]

get a ruby or diamond and install the sprint modification @ one of the techs

[sterile bolt]

is there any blueprint upgrade so u can run ?

[quick kelp]

Can you try going to previous auto save?

Idk what the actual resolution to this is tbh

[sharp flame]

Found a diamond exo on a monolith soldier, now its fully upgraded

For those who dont know, to upgrade the exo you have to go to yaniv station

[lusty mural]

Economy at veteran is still ass , not making money and for the love of god can you devs fix the consumable glitch bound to mouse only working 50% of the time ?

[unique belfry]

they did work on A Life? I'm hearing a firefight way off in the disitance, not just right next to me

[tacit dawn]

I can try but I just hate losing my progression doing that.

[spark parrot]

in my experince a-life is real and works, but not all the time.

[patent jackal]

Not officially but I have been noticing firefights much further away, the further I get into the game.

[weary hedge]

thats what I just said, diamond ruby and a few others u can upgrade to sprint.

@lusty mural consumable bug happens on keyboard too. it needs to be fixed in general

[quick kelp]

F5 every 30 minutes at least should help you with that issue. (It quick saves). F8 is quick load

[sharp flame]

Yes nothing like sprinting till no stam, using drink, see animation but nothing happens an doesn't consume the drink, oh an now my stam is regenerated anyway

[unique belfry]

Yeah im doing stuff in Zaton and it feels more alive, you're onto something

[tacit dawn]

I'm on Xbox so I think it autosaves every 30 by itself

Also if you have the gauss rifle not sure about PC but on Xbox it crashes the game when trying to repair or upgrade it

[restive storm]

I found the m f by luck when it was spawning new clones

[sonic owl]

Seems like the only "SOLUTION" for now is indeed reloading to back when it wasn't bugged.

It does suck cuse been running over-encumbered for like an hour or 1.5... so seeing that it was also bugged... Will require A LOT of back tracking.
P A I N

[sharp flame]

Also durability, am I supposed to believe a 100% durability shotgun cant shoot more than 50 slugs without getting a nearly 50% jam rate? What are these, airsoft guns?

[quick kelp]

that sucks

[ember remnant]

man not only is zalyssia bugged, but also nothing triggers when i arrive with emitter to scar, another 30 hour save bricked, what are the patches even for? actually useless

[vernal palm]

Have any of you guys had that bug where random weapons and artifacts appear in your inventory?

[eager carbon]

jesus why are controllers so strong i shot 200 bullets and 8 grenades in one before it died

[weary hedge]

I just posted a request for the subtle matters mission because there is no way to progress after u entered that particular office in the orbital station

[quick kelp]

you got artifacts ⁉️ I just get a pistol placed in my primary slot

@weary hedge still a fair few main story soft locks atm

[amber minnow]

Doo you guys recommend putting the supressor in your best suit? I'm debating whether to slap it in the corundum suit or the SP-1001 survey

[weary hedge]

Anyone notice the guy peeing while walking?

[hushed wyvern]

Cant you put it in more than 1 suit ? Might be the mods I had though idk

[vernal palm]

Yeah I got like 4 random artifacts, don’t know how, and 3 M701s

[weary hedge]

guns yes artifacts no

[quick kelp]

wth... I got maybe a vss in my inventory and then constant pistols in my primary weapon slots

[sonic falcon]

anyone elses game launching to a black screen instead of shader compilation and just staying there?

[weary hedge]

Anyone else up stalkin they zone rn

[sonic falcon]

game text is also now coming up sid_misc on everything

[ancient sparrow]

When you are on private 400mbit cable internet yet it still takes 4 hours for the game to download on steam..........(O.o) -_-

[zenith sedge]

lol im lik enearly at the end of the game but after the patch I loaded in and now zalisyaa is being attacked but i did that quest 15 quests ago
Its being attacked twice but everyone is already dead lmao

Dont make me restart for the 7th time I beg 😭

[weary hedge]

are u using a hard drive, cuz u aint slick, rick

[unborn grove]

Does anyone know how to spawn items using the console? I don't know how to find my ultimate edition exoskeleton and I want it
(Yes, I looked in pripyat. I got no alert for "Journalist's Stash" for some reason.)

[weary hedge]

dawg use the stalker interactive map on IGN. itll tell you EXACTLY where the diamond exo is on the map, or just go on youtube, dont be lazy now...

[ancient sparrow]

if by hard drive you mean a Samsung 990 Pro m.2, then yes. Nobody uses spinning drives anymore unless they are still stuck in 2003.....or need a ton of storage space.

[vestal pine]

Can trapper die from mutants,and if he can,will he be useful ever again in the game. I want his gun

[sterile pagoda]

Does anyone know wich the best paying traders on map are?

[harsh jungle]

just got ny first legendary artifact

[ivory snow]

yep it not there only i was able to pick up a Guitar

[quick kelp]

aight chill slick rick maybe it's your 400mbps internet. try getting 2gbps it'll be quicker 400mbps is like 2012

[static lark]

The Noon guys are cool

[unborn grove]

thanks, I looked everywhere on youtube, and nothing ever told you where the shturm was specifically, but this ign one is helpful, thank you

[static lark]

I want a Dnipro so bad this Fora is getting boring

[ancient sparrow]

400 is pretty common speed for around here, not sure where you live that 2gps is a thing but. Everything else loads pretty quick besides steam tkaing forever to download it. Havent had any issues otherwise.

[hasty token]

i usually find them around duga and yaniv

[deft pollen]

Dnipro can't take underbarrels

[weary hedge]

Go to the cooling towers, find a ladder on the OUTSIDE of the one with the fire tornado, climb and go into the portal.

[quick kelp]

England we had 500mbps like 10 years ago rip

[cedar phoenix]

ill take no underbarrel for highest pen and damage with cheap asz ammo

[static lark]

I’m over at the Noon island bro I’m helping my guys out (even though it’s gonna be f**king pointless)

[zenith sedge]

the fional upgrade of the kharod makes it a 5.45 anyway so it just turns into the dnpro but with a grenade launcher and more accuracy
Its funny to me that youd upgrade a gun by going from 5.56 to 5.45 lmao 5.45 is just russias wish dot com version of 5.56
@weary hedge this I did not know lmao im buying one as we speak 🤣

[weary hedge]

Yeah but you can convert dnipro to 7.62 and 2 shot anything ever, throw a scope on it and bam @zenith sedge lmao yeah theres a nice dnipro upgrade

[quick spire]

amazing to read that in 2024 people have internet slower then 1Gb/s

[quick kelp]

Must be rough

[hollow plover]

GSC please leave the broken anomalies that send people to space. It’s the absolute funniest way to die I’ve ever seen

[radiant solar]

Post SIRCAA, after doing stuff/getting emitter at the noontide base.. am I supposed to be constantly under PSI attack? If I don't pop a pill every 60 seconds I'm getting swarmed by conjured enemies. :\ I feel like I'm bugged, there's no controller/etc I can find. Is there any cheat or SOMETHING I can do to fix this without reloading random saves hoping to find one that's -not- broken?

[cedar phoenix]

good luck finding a steady supply of 7.62 lol but the upgrade is bonkers

[static lark]

This isn’t a deception is it fellow Noon enjoyer?
Also why would I even care about the Dnipro not having a Underbarrel slot? I don’t even use the grenade launchers/shotgun so who cares?

[zenith sedge]

Gopnik party in the void cos we can into space

[ancient sparrow]

Well, things are done a little differently over in Europe and England, than they are here in the states. We don't believe in things such as healthcare and fancy extra fast internet, we tough it out like real Muricans'. 😉 👍

[normal void]

Noontide more like pooptide
Those guys suck

[weary hedge]

easy, yaniv and pryp vendor. I mainly use glutton the 7.62 lmg with a 500 round box mag, ive never had an ammo problem.

@static lark I do like noon. Why use grenade launchers when you can shove an rpg in your inventory.

[quick kelp]

where y'all finding the space anomalies at. I avoid all anomalies usually

[hollow plover]

I swear if someone finds a way into a closed off building because an anomaly glitched them in there, do NOT tell any devs about it. That’s the Cool Stalker Club

[cedar phoenix]

500 round box mag? what the hell does Skif curl?

[static lark]

Literally just Tom Brady the hand grenades it’s not that hard

[ancient sparrow]

So is it possible to just literally murder all of the NPC's in one playthrough ?. Just curious

[flat otter]

Just barely made it to wild island and had to fight off 3 bloodsuckers back to back

[weary hedge]

I walk around with the SVU-MK S3 with 200 rounds, and that LMG with 1500 rounds, 500 in the mag, mac 10 with 200 rounds, and an rpg with 3 or 4 rockets. Diamond exosuit + weight artifacts, im a walking tank, and im still in the green zone.

@cedar phoenix I dont have weird water yet.

[hollow plover]

It’s the gravity anomalies. That teleport you around. Sometimes they break and send people to space. I’ve only done it with the Yaniv tornado, but that thing send me to prypiat and broke everything in my body when I hit the ground

[quick kelp]

Yeah pretty sure the important ones are in safe zones anyway that you can't damage them in, or can't pull a weapon in

[cedar phoenix]

diamond exosuit and im guessing weird water? have they fixed the weird water spawn bc i couldnt find it to save my fkn life

[hollow plover]

Weird water is so clutch bro, easily my favorite artifact. It gives you an extra 40kg and removes radiation constantly. BUT it makes you permanently drunk. A good trade off imo, and the diamond exoskeleton is the only one that you can install the mod that allows you to run. The notes* say specifically the series 4 exosuits. The other Monolith one that starts with B is a series 3

[flat otter]

Should kill go to rostok or wild island for better gear

[weary hedge]

wait it makes you perm drunk? Nahhh screw that. Anything I can counter that affect with?

[cedar phoenix]

General rule of advice further north is always better gear

[flat otter]

Do the enemies start having less common ammo types like ammo for the AR16

[hollow plover]

Unfortunately no, it’s only the first phase of being drunk. You can still see clearly but you are wobbly

[rare lichen]

I think spitter can take it as well, you just have to go to a mechanic to have them take it off. Literally you go to where the muzzle attachment thing is in the upgrade menu and you click it after selecting it and it gets removed.

[warped stream]

They use certain guns more in certain areas, you'll start to get a feel for it

[flat otter]

Feel like getting ammo for most of the higher end guns is like pulling teeth but I have oodles of it for my AK-74S, unless I have to buy ammo which can get expensive fast

[heavy dew]

Has weird water been fixed yet

[weary hedge]

go to yaniv or pryp vendor, always have the good ammo

[serene barn]

Wait so that’s why my carry weight is so much higher all of a sudden??

[flat otter]

Now i gotta get my hands on that

[strange otter]

vrag monolita

[restive storm]

How long do I have to wait for the fourth arena mission? I`ve been waiting for like 20-30 minutes real time sprinting around and it still did not come

[gilded wharf]

Weird Nut is best imo. Instant wound healing ftw.

[serene barn]

Tip I saw for Weird water was to quick save up on a hill there at 21:58 in game time them go looking under the lights.

[autumn plume]

How do I get weird water ? Cause I went to the anomaly and it didn't appear

[normal void]

Go do story missions
It's locked until you do

[sharp flame]

i believe it unlocks after you finish the sircaa area

[restive storm]

Ok, thanks

[serene barn]

I hope that’s true because I have the same thing. It just bothers me it’s still marking the seat to wait for it.

[snow lantern]

THE FIRST HUMAN SPECTRE?!

[sharp flame]

ill be honest, the fact theres mission markers to show you where to run too, to get to the objective is already more hand holding than anything in stalker... dont expect much in the way of the game telling you what to do 🙂 stalker is a lot of figuring things out or googling it after someone else does

[serene barn]

But I am at SIRCAA so I will try to find out when I wake up.

[restive storm]

I will go to Sircaa right now and will let you know if it opens the way for the mission. Though idk where the area is but I will eventually find out

[weary hedge]

SIRCAA more like JerkAhh

[serene barn]

Uhhhh ok. I just meant like if it’s actually only unlocking after a part in the story it should say something instead of just putting a marker on a thing and leaving me thinking it’s bugged

[sharp flame]

yeah its a bit here an there figuring out how/where stuff is

[weary hedge]

Lol yea... especially after playing the original games, STALKER 2 does a lot more telling you where to go

[static lark]

Ah man…. Dubny is kinda a dickwad really sent a hit squad to kill 2 dudes who barely survived Zombies and a Controller

[white yoke]

So a friend of mine is currently experiencing constant psi exposure. He is inside rostok and has healed himself with the doctor. He has also used multiple psiblock pills. It just seems to be stuck to him in some way?

[mossy drift]

For those playing on steam... have the past 2 patches been SUPER HUGE for you all?

[unkempt vault]

Got to ||Sid’s bunker|| and heard the ||classic song||

[mossy trellis]

Hello i need help for Weird Water legendary Anomaly in Stalker 2 plz

[weary hedge]

Hello everypony

[stiff ingot]

Damn my game started to crash when emission is happening, no matter what I am doing.

[weary hedge]

when in doubt, reload before the problem

[static lark]

Yeahhhh maybe Noon isn’t as good as I thought

[mossy drift]

@mossy trellis From what I heard and saw video wise.. save before you do it, as there is a possibility of it not being there, or maybe glitch... But do it AT NIGHT.. goto each of the light anomalies and look for artifact... supposedly likely to spawn where lights are over rocks... may take a bit, but if cant find it, reload and try again.

[white yoke]

He ragequit because he couldnt get it to work. Will ask him to do that once he is back.

[weary hedge]

I am unmuted now, took a minute though.

[swift trail]

I could see a group of ex monoliths being nervous with mind controll

[next prism]

Is it just me or the game's crashing way more now?

[dense quartz]

Its not the patch it just redownloads the game + patch

[naive crescent]

Best assault rifle in game right now ? i like the "trophy" version of as-val but Im sure there are better guns out there

[static lark]

Yeah but a Hit Squad… really?

[weary hedge]

Good name and pfp very Christian

[gloomy citrus]

Its more of personal preference imo.

I like AR416 with all the attachments.

[silk falcon]

My favorite is the scoped AK you get in the beginning.

[ionic ice]

Is Bubb's PDA supposed to be a mission item? I have no side quest for it and its just taking space

[swift trail]

assault rifle? nah, lynx is perfect i love vaporizing anything that moves

[weary hedge]

that thing jams way too much, my fav is the 500 round LMG, "glutton"

ICXC NIKA

[cinder dove]

Im getting mad with this kind of mods :
Which one better？
Rant - Combat Empowered
Maklane's Better Weapons
Weapones Rebalance
Realistic Weapons Stats
Better Ballistics

Which one its better and for realistic damage to humans and mutants like gamma nothing else

[gray mango]

bro I'm doing the sircaa mission and have been overweight with half broken armor/guns for the past hour 😭

[manic venture]

damn, 2 patches and ||Richter still isnt at the top of the ladder at the end of SIRCAA||

[static lark]

My name was literally something I made up (was originally Laz then people called me Lazarus) and my Pfp was just some cool art I found on Twitter 👍

[mossy drift]

I dont know how I got it so early, friendly stalker group got killed near me.. but got a EMR from them.. 2 body shot, 1 headshot for most enemies...though had to make it to the duty base before i could reliably get ammo fo rit

[ionic ice]

Are the A-Life mods any good? I have one installed right now and it makes absolutely no difference. Should I bother?

[stiff ingot]

9x39 revolver is my favorite gun now against mutants.

[hollow plover]

It might be bugged, people were saying it was bugged and not showing up. But mine spawned in between rocks and the only reason I saw it was because of the white dot that shows up over items, otherwise it blended in with the green lights it’s super dark

[silk falcon]

The emr is really good. Just that ammo is expensive.

[cinder dove]

Same here i have 35 mods but with the updates some Creatures low the HP so are really easy to kill

[weary hedge]

Me when you somehow had Lazarus (like St Lazarus and the Catholic military order) and your pfp is probably the best written Christian character in Fallout and all of fiction.

Edit: if this is an accident you should come to an orthodox temple and become a Catechumen then a monk.

[void coral]

was thinking of going Kharod+Holemaker with the EMR for this runthrough

[mossy drift]

@ionic ice Id not bother with a life mods as it seems to be mostly disabled for the sake of being fixed later. Mods that try to enable it or "Fix it" in whatever way they think it can be fixxed, might break the game, or make performance horribly worse...

If most people see performance drops when in towns with alot of npcs nearby, think how much slow it would be, when the game starts tracking NPCs for whole map or large area.. your CPU is going to choke ^_^

[manic venture]

I think its less that it's bugged adn more that it has a TON of different spawn spots, coupled with it blending in really well. I wandered around there for like 2 hours, checking all the different spots people say it spawns in, and mine was in a completely different spot. They really should either give it a stronger glow or a static spawn or something

[gray mango]

anyone else been liking the clusterfuck ar/sniper combo?

[static lark]

What to do when an emission is coming but there’s literally no shelter anywhere (I’m on the Noontide island literally in the middle of nowhere where)

[silk falcon]

Emr with acog probably best all around rifle.

[static radish]

Every time I leave "5.45 AR and shotgun" combo I see my rapidly depleting ammunition and go "lmao nvm"

[twilit pivot]

accept your destiny

[weary hedge]

Kharod best rifle imo.

[weary hedge]

nah, 7.62 swapped dnipro is better

[void coral]

hope i brought some Water/Energy drinks and channel my inner JoJo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22XRgcUSNdo

[buoyant tundra]

Pomor is bugged for me:

Game claims I searched the bodies he wanted me to. (when I hadn't even explored the poppy field yet.)

I also can't talk about it to him.

[proper hornet]

has the new patch come to the xbeezy yet

[swift trail]

YOU CAN SWAP THE DNIPRO?

[naive crescent]

there's a scoped special 5.56 semi AR , what's the name of it in English ?

[hollow plover]

Most damage and most attachments, I run the master key and grenade launcher, extended mag with acog (with a holo for close quarters) and a suppressor for stealth 😫😫😫

[mossy drift]

@manic venture Do the artifact scanners not help you find it? If your that far in the game, you should have the.. err "bear" detector? The one with teh round screen and points you towards it?

@buoyant tundra It seems GSC changed the bodies around, the first few guides i looke dup online, teh bodies were NOT where those people said they were..So keep looking, or make sure you didnt stash/sell any of the guns/ammo you were supposed to find...

[gray mango]

yeah it's been out for like 6 hours

[weary hedge]

Me too. Identical load out ❤️❤️

[cinder dove]

A-Life isn't implemented so. This mod try to change some values for the spawns mIt's the only one that functions, but in the Garbage zone, there's no A-Life director, so the area is empty when using this mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/273

[buoyant tundra]

No the quest log says I searched them and has him highlighted.

It thinks I did something I didnt.

[static lark]

Yeah but then I’ve been soft locked from the rest of the game….

[void coral]

ayo

my concern is if the performance boost is worth the increase in ammo weight

[proper hornet]

thank you

[weary hedge]

to be honest, if youre that far in the game where you care about ammo carry weight for 300 rounds... you need to go get better artifacts and gear

[hollow plover]

Also use the railgun for sniping??? And I personally bring the Bizon with Ap rounds for super close quarters with a lot of enemies so I don’t burn through shells. 😂

[weary hedge]

Yes… except I use Integral A instead of Bizon.

[manic venture]

I've got the bear, but i don't believe it helps with the arch-anomalies. at least, it didnt for me (unsure if that is a bug)

[silk falcon]

300 rounds doesn't last long with all these spawns. Seems like way too many enemies just start popping up.

[static radish]

300 5.45 is what I bring on all my runs

[swift trail]

I love the Groza, tho 9x39 is too expensive and lack of the 4x scope for it is quite sad. (i know of the 545 groza but it has the different sights and mb)

[hollow plover]

I sold the extended mag for it really early in the game because I thought it was a pistol 😭😭
I used it for a bit and absolutely love it, but even with weight reduction mods it’s 5kg when the bizon is 2.6kg. So I can hold more ammo for the Kharod ❤️

[weary hedge]

I walk around with the SVU-MK S3 with 200 rounds, and that LMG with 1500 rounds, 500 in the mag, mac 10 with 200 rounds, and an rpg with 3 or 4 rockets. Diamond exosuit + weight artifacts, im a walking tank, and im still in the green zone.

im telling you, its your gear lmao, 300-500 rounds isnt really that taxing

@void coral 7.62 is sold in yaniv and pryp

[void coral]

i could go get a Dnipro and keep it on 4.45 until i hit the lategame with every giddemned enemy rocking Exosuits for the 7.62 swap

stockpiling all the 7.62 I can until then

@weary hedge yeah but buying ammo is monies

[silk falcon]

Dang man. You roll heavy. I just carry an AK with 300 rounds and a spas with 50.

[weary hedge]

Are dnipro's worth using, I found one at the weird nut location

[errant shell]

If anyone having a bug where if you move you die? I went into a basement to respond to a freedom dude begging for help and ever since every time I move, I take enormous amount of damage

[void coral]

they're the best 5.45 gun

and can be upgraded to use the 7.62x39 ammo

[swift trail]

is it just me or is stalker 2 too easy with the guns? like i usually just use makarov on all humans (9x18 cheap other ammo expensive) and just run from mutants as they arent worth killing + skifs pistol never breaks

[static radish]

I don't mind it, AKM+Saiga feels good and I never feel too overwhelmed but still feel like the fighting's good

[patent jackal]

It is a known bug.
Devs are fixing it soon:)

[errant shell]

Yeah, whenever I take a step, my health bar goes down

[rare lichen]

sweet, that was annoying the heck out of me, alongside another quest item or two being stuck in my inventory after I finished them

[winter tulip]

Ok so... where should i start. BUG. After the siege of Malachite (visions of truth) the game said the scientists are angry at me. Now all the doors are closed to Malachite and 2 big exoskeleton IMMORTAL dude hunting me outside.... (even in rookie, they cannot die by infinite bullet) if i go in by a guide, or via the tunnel i can trade and talk with them like everythings fine.... what the hell...

[static lark]

Yeah I don’t like Faust he’s kinda goofy, bro left monolith just to wanna go back like be for real?

[pine pike]

half a mag of 5.56 to kill someone in a hoodie is wild work

[static radish]

headhsots, brother

[shy wadi]

is HDR better for this game?

[patent jackal]

Average NYC tweaker experience.
Its a feature.

[silk falcon]

Yeah I just headshot everyone.

[swift trail]

headshot is too op, dropped a exo in jsut a couple shots from pistol

[static lark]

Don’t even use Full Auto just put every gun in Single Fire and go crazy

[silk saffron]

Yea know I wish the AR16 was a bit better l, feels like it gets phased out so quick

[cinder dove]

there is some tutorial to merge mods?

[hollow plover]

Alright can anyone tell me why they thought the bloodsuckers were op? Weren’t they worse in the trilogy? I remember they would ONLY appear when they were behind you to bite you, (hence the name) and you had to bait them out and spin and shoot them while they were exposed

[shy wadi]

So i tried SDR after 90 hrs on HDR and the game looks worse on regular

[hazy cove]

Stumbled upon the rookie village and seeing Sidorovich and Wolf brought a tear to my eyes

[sleek wasp]

Will the bug where hamster and his guard be fixed in the next update? I really wanna play the game

[static lark]

I really hope I get to shoot Faust in his ugly f**king face.

[weary hedge]

Easier in the trilogy imo, but the only way I easily fought them in this game was with the Texan or the M701.

[ornate coral]

After both patches I'm still getting random times where my game will drop to 10fps for seemingly no reason, what do I do??? I really want to enjoy this game and its really hard to do so when my game randomly drops down to 10 frames per second

[marsh laurel]

Probs best thing to do is wait a year or so for a good mod pack then get into the game

[fast crest]

This patch deleted everyone out of my rookie village

[silk saffron]

Honestly psi dogs are the worst enemy in the game, sides maybe those bulky ones

[static radish]

Lost to the Zone

[errant shell]

Same. At the moment, my fix is either run DLSS on super performance or keep restarting your game.

[weary hedge]

Everyone?? I’m going to clean up my side quest and then go check it out.

[static lark]

So where is Quiet and why isn’t he actually Quiet?

[fast crest]

@weary hedge there are some random loners but everyone of value is gone. Even sidorovich

[ocean surge]

Has the update for Xbox been released yet?

[hollow plover]

Yeah they are kind of a nuisance rather than being terrifying. I’m more scared of the Chimera or the thing that’s slams on the ground every 5 seconds. I think they showed us the bloodsucker too early in the game. Us sneaking into a nest like CoP would have a dope little Easter egg mission while showing off not just one but like 20. Like Volatiles in Dying Light 1

[crystal grotto]

@torpid canyon i found the silencer for the mark 1 and the bolt action, but not the SVD or SVU yet

[static radish]

His location is what he's Quiet about

[errant shell]

Do you see the train cars that are underwater sort of outside of noontide’s base? parkour over them and you should find his place. Literally right there.

[weary hedge]

good LORD does anyone knwo where theyve gotten the liquid rock? Ive been hunting it for hours on end.

[static lark]

Well I need to know it…. I feel like he’s got good guns and stuff…

[torpid canyon]

Where did you find one Bro?

[crystal grotto]

it comes pre-attached on a mark1 right by the aps by the kindergarten in Prypiat

[ornate coral]

whats causing it?

[magic sinew]

guys anything i should do before going to sircaa (like quests and etc)

[errant shell]

No idea, but I think what’s happening is the game renders too much and instead of dumping memory to allow it to render more it just slows down and freaks out. I’m actually currently having the exact same issue with black Mesa blue shift.

[static lark]

Oh I get why he’s called Quiet now. He talks too much

[torpid canyon]

Nice! I ain’t that far through still but I’ll keep my eyes open for it. Nice one for the info. 👊🏻

[hollow plover]

It’s only from acid anomalies, not the fire, electrical, or gravitational ones. Find those and remember them, farm it, go to the nearest base. Sleep 4 times, (pretty sure you pass 6 hours each sleep, I could be wrong) and go to the same spot, or just reload a save before you get to the anomaly

[weary hedge]

Clusterfnck is my mid-game baby

[void coral]

reload ~100m away from an acid anomaly and keep trying until you get it

[rugged stratus]

Have they fixed the low FPS issue?

[errant shell]

For some people.

[autumn plume]

with anomaly field is good for this_

[fickle halo]

Where do you report bugs?

[hollow plover]

Hope that helps. Remember that certain artifacts can be found in its designated anomaly type. Remembering that will help you farm legendarys and make big money while your exploring

FYI fire ones suck and don’t really have anything decent

***Besides Hypercube

[static lark]

Oh hooray a Extended mag for my Buket now I can piss away even more ammo

[rugged stratus]

What doe this mean

[glad tendon]

I wonder if GSC is working through the weekend

[weary hedge]

It means some people are still having FPS issues

[errant shell]

It’s the same issue that black Mesa blue shift has where the game just doesn’t dump memory at all and it eventually piles up.

[static lark]

I wish I could put up Skif’s Pistol… like I get why they don’t let you but that 0.2kg is valuable yk?

[static radish]

I have noticed my stuttering issues are GONE all a sudden I will say

[rugged stratus]

Who exactly? Console people?

[hollow plover]

Actually to correct myself. Fire anomaly’s suck for artifacts besides “HyperCube” because it offers Max Bleed Resistance and Max Thermal Resistance. But Max Rads. But in a container that doesn’t mean anything

I’ve literally gotten rid of all my bandages because of it

[weary hedge]

maybe this is why some people dont experience it? i think ive played a max of 5h in one sitting so far, and my fps never dropped, nor did i get any stuttering

but ive 64gb of ram, and 10gb of vram

@rugged stratus not sure, a lot of people that mention it dont include what system they are on - im on pc, though

[static lark]

Any tips on where to get a Kharod (I just left the Noontide island)

||only asking cause I found the counterweight blueprint for it||

[errant shell]

For me I got an i7 and a 4060 and 16 gigs of ram the game runs great until it doesn’t. It typically starts dropping once I’ve traveled about 2 km.

[umbral bison]

Seeriously WTF IS UP with this game? havent been able to play for 3 days now, Thursday got a bug that kicked me out of game every time I got into the game itself in one of the main town hubs, then last night couldn't play because the 'patch' made me redownload whole game, now again tonight next patch redownload whole game AGAIN and now it wont even start, soon as I click 'play game' it goes right to 'game has crashed 0xc00000005

[weary hedge]

Everyone is still there.

[rugged stratus]

I'm on Xbox Series S

[weary hedge]

check the Stalker 2 interactive map, lists a lot of equipment locations ; https://mapgenie.io/stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl/maps/the-zone

[void coral]

there's a fixed spawn behind a code locked gate ||south of the Yantar bunker along a dirt path, near the water|| or just go to Yaniv and buy one from the trader there

[paper crown]

I’m thinking of getting this as a pc player. Is it good?

[hollow plover]

I got mine at Yaniv, and had Harpy 😫 mod it out

[sharp stream]

WHERE 1.0.3 PATCH BLIN

[true loom]

Psi dogs in STALKER 2 are OBNOXIOUS to fight. I like my post apocalyptic games hard-core don’t get me wrong, but spawning 7000 different enemies is not “hard-core“ this is beyond stupid. I’m not trying to spend 300 rounds of ammunition trying to kill a single enemy when the only thing I’m shooting at much of fake versions of the real enemy. This sh-t needs a Nerf ASAP it’s not fun in the slightest it’s just obnoxious

[autumn plume]

theres a fr in chemical plant thats imnmortal how do i get rid of him?

[spark parrot]

I have a 45 hours on steam and 29 hours on my current save file I get some stuttering sometimes, but it hasn't been what most people are complaining about. I am running RTX 3060, AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, and 64GB of RAM. I think most complaints are coming from console players. The 12GB of VRAM might be helping me a lot.

[static lark]

Thank you I will exploit this as much as possible, also turns out I’m headed in the direction to find one anyways so

[hollow plover]

Totally not simping for Harpy at my favorite safezone

[weary hedge]

im wondering if its generally people with lots of ram like us that have no issues - i mean, it would make sense if there is a memory leak that it takes longer for us to notice it, since we have 4x the ram others mention having

[errant shell]

Grenades they have worked wonders.

[deft meteor]

looting duga

find SEVA suit

"well im not in a mission and i need ammo and repairs, i'll run and sell this"

check map

closest town is 1.4km away

[azure spindle]

My game is crashing loading saves after the most recent update 😭 anyone know a fix? 4070 Super, 5700x

[autumn plume]

mf with exo took 130 confirmed hits of 5.56 ap , what is that....

[true loom]

I don’t even know which one is the real enemy, also ever since the game has come out. As much as I’m enjoying it grenades don’t seem to do anything at all to mutants. I’ve never seen one of them even react with a pain animation or anything like that so I can’t even tell if it’s damaging them

[simple kiln]

This is why the exo suit is helpful with max weight

[static lark]

Try aiming for their face

Why skull react you know I’m right

[void coral]

Also try and use a gun with more penetration stat

Need to check but my gut tells me ammo type is just a percent modifier to the guns base stats

[weary hedge]

random suggestion, but try creating a new save rather than loading an old one, if thats what youre doing

[spark parrot]

It is what I seem to be thinking as well. I have had some crashes randomly, but the game still runs mostly smooth.

[deft meteor]

my max weight is 180kg im literally just a loot fiend

[dense bloom]

does wearing other faction suits makes you a ennemy from this particular faction suit like in Anomaly, or not ??

[umbral bison]

@weary hedge no at this point game pass wont even let me start the game anymore, cant even get past the launcher tile before it goes into the game proper

[ocean surge]

Would Stalker be a Fallout mgtow? (so far I've only found one woman in the entire game, in 2 still)

[static lark]

I’m at 88kg please teach me your ways, I can barely carry 2 primaries a pistol and my ammo without being overencumbered

[ionic ice]

Whats up with the running animation? Lmao

[weary hedge]

I run like that sometimes.

[swift trail]

I believe its jsut the first person animations shadowed, personally i love it

[eternal garden]

I wish the view model for exo suits weren’t janky, the shadows can be a lil goofy lookin

[deft meteor]

Exo suit, 3 compasses, weird water, all upgrades and a rock

[umbral bison]

WOAH wtf lol I uninstalled Stalker 2, then when I tried to reload it game pass is straght up denying the redownload, saying 'content failed to load'lol

[weary hedge]

Damn. Is this on console or pc gamepass? Apparently quite a few people are having issues with those services and stalker 2. Not everyone though, from what I can tell console has a bigger issue rate than pc gamepass, and gamepass has a bigger error rate than steam

sounds like an xbox issue though, as gamepass uses their systems from memory

[void coral]

bruh WTF does any trader sell 7.62x39?

well not like you can get the 7.62 upgrade until pripyat anyway

[trail fiber]

Sometimes I get irritated with S.T.A.L.K.E.R, my save is where I get killed by a goddamn mutant and I question the game sometimes for the saves situations

[azure spindle]

i'm legit gonna cry if i can't load my old saves anymore lol. I just passed Azimuth station. I do not want to restart

[spark parrot]

Yeah, I'm on Steam and have had some crashes due to memory access violations, but gameplay is very smooth. The Swamps are my favorite areas.

[rare lichen]

just... load an earlier quicksave or hard save?

[weary hedge]

ive had i think two crashes over 30 hours so far, on steam, and i dont get the dips in towns that others are mentioning either

Which is weird - cause some of them had beefy GPU's, I'm only using a 3060

[umbral bison]

this isnt the first time I"ve had issues like this with game pass, could never get resident evil games to play on there, now it seems stalker going to be same thing. funny how I was able to get 10 hours in then after this last patch it's just telling me to f off lol

[swift trail]

I wish we had helmet overlays like seva and exo suits, i dont remeber but atleast in gamma it has them and when it rains you can wipe off the rain. would love this is in stalker 2

[frigid hill]

megabyteghost2.0 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[azure spindle]

Okay wait! I got my save working. Try this if you're crashing loading old saves: start a new game in a new save slot and once you're in game there, load your last autosave in your other slot from the menu. Worked for me and I'm back

[void coral]

okay this seems like a geniune oversight if literally none of the endgame traders sell 7.62x39

[unkempt vault]

There’s a mod but I’m afraid to test if it’s achievement friendly

[spark parrot]

The only dips I get in town will last for a split second when in Slag Heap mostly, but it's hardly even noticeable. Two days ago I had 6 crashes in one day, but 4 of those times happened when I had the game minimized.

[plucky snow]

I just got to Red Forest and the site called Pile Driver. Is there a way to activate that freight elevator?

[umbral bison]

Got the game to start downloading again. Are there any reported issues of pre patch saves not working with the new patch? like we have to start over?

[weary hedge]

isnt there an option to delete the xbox apps cache and data? sounds like something within your installation is buggy af, if others can download through gamepass its just odd it keeps bugging out with you

and no - saves work

[static lark]

Can’t way to find a AS Val to get rid of the 1000 9x39 that I have

[azure spindle]

just solved my issue this way: " I got my save working. Try this if you're crashing loading old saves: start a new game in a new save slot and once you're in game there, load your last autosave in your other slot from the menu. Worked for me and I'm back"

[swift trail]

I hope we get something like gamma in stalker 2, i love the hardcore challenge and being your own stalker actually trying to survive. with stalker 2s map and graphics itd be perfect

[ionic ice]

Gamma and stalker are basically different games. Devs have said to not expect a gamma experience

[boreal wasp]

I do wish stalker 2 would've had mag management it could've been the first widely popular game to do so

[umbral bison]

@azure spindle ahh my question was more along the lines of 'if you have any old saved data even the game settings will it corrupt the current version and cause failure for game to start' not really a save specific question my bad

[misty sonnet]

Gaymma

[trail fiber]

Okay im getting goddamn irritated, both a emission and a shit save point where I don't know what to do in a bad situation

[rare lichen]

see you in 30 years when there's an affluent modding scene and some coding god reverse engineers UE5

[azure spindle]

oh damn okay. Yeah that sounds a lot worse :\ Wishing you luck!

[weary hedge]

I'd give you my save if you were on PC :p i cant remember where its up to though, its before CIRCAA

[ionic ice]

Swamps? If so, run to the objective

[static lark]

What’s the VAL called in Stalker 2?

[trail fiber]

I dont know what to do in a emission, I am in the swamps getting my ass kicked by zombies with guns, psi dogs, and a big mutant, there is no shelters around me

[lunar spoke]

drop your shit and run

[ionic ice]

The shelter is at the objective. The emission is scripted

I tell you what is really annoying me, pressing a key several times trying to heal, especially with blood suckers, you get knocked to the floor and and you press the the key 18 times after you stand up to heal and nothing.... You character stands there like an idiot.... "I'm bleeding, what do I do"...

The game sucks when it comes to this, modern games suck when it comes to this... You press a key to do something and your character just stands there like a d*ck...

AS Lavina

[swift trail]

yeah i understand but personally i like stalker for the zone itself, like the idea of it and gamma did a good job at letting you have free range of it, just hoping for more gamma type mods to come out in the future as stalker 2 is really good.

[spark parrot]

Step 1: avoid being overenumbered
Step 2: carry lots of water and energy drinks
Step 3: EATS BREAD
Step 4: ???
Step 5: PROFIT!

[queen summit]

Is || Sphere || Savable? Need to know if I need to reload an earlier save cause it's dead af there, populated by ||Monolith|| on the outskirts

[fresh bear]

guys how do you zoom in a scope? (No, I mean like when you're looking in the scope how do you increase it's zoom? like from 1x to 4x)

[trail fiber]

I am in the "ad astra per aspera" mission, the only places I see are just cabins, even though I haul ass in one, the game just laughs and says no and just kills me from health loss

[void coral]

nope

[wild crypt]

the state of gaming people

[ionic ice]

You need to go to the objective in that quest. Thats literally the only way of doing it, just run

[simple kiln]

It’s a bug, you have to complete the animation, then do it again. You can’t be running as you activate the animation or it doesn’t work. Highly infuriating at times I agree.

[fresh bear]

Y'all literally just didn't understand my question I asked, jeez.

[trail fiber]

Would the objective kill me if I am outside in the middle of a emission though that is my question, also I thought the emission harms mutants

[void coral]

he objective is the shelter

the mutant wil lstop following you

[gray mountain]

HOW DO I CONTINUE GAME AFTER FINISHING IT, WDYM I HAVE TO START A NEW GAME

[cosmic wave]

Question, can you pass out from drinking too much vodka?

[weary hedge]

no, its a scripted mission, you have to go to the objective to survive - if you keep dying anyway whats the issue with just running and seeing for yourself lol

[trail fiber]

Doesn't the emission kill you if you are just hauling ass to the objective?

[ionic ice]

no

[static lark]

Gotta be 14.
Yes some games end and then to continue playing you have to restart (there’s 4 endings in the game you have 3 more playthroughs)

[void coral]

load the autosaves from pripyat right before you start "Down below"

also one endings branch is after you do that mission (if you're on the ||strelok|| path it requires you to ||listen to the doctor, not shoot him||)

[simple kiln]

Anyone else go in pripiyat early for the exo suit?

[gray mountain]

Ngl i just sorted a couple save files and im at 3/4 endings i got the strelok ending, the doctor ending (which is the best i like multiple zones) and the scar ending

[sterile pagoda]

bro there is no way i jsut spent 3 hours doing 1 mission to retreive collars across entire map just to get 6k??? wtf

[trail fiber]

I thought it does if you are just outside in the emission but I guess I can try it

[maiden grotto]

Would be so bad if ammo wasn't the most expensive in the game.

I can't believe the missions pay out less than box of ammo to buy.

Something is still seriously wrong with economy of the game.

I use pistols, to to take the fake ones out, then shotty the real one when I find it.

[spark parrot]

I got an emission the second I started the mission to kill that mutated moose thing. I am glad I saved moments before because it killed the mutants for me. >:)

[true loom]

How can you even tell which ones the real one? I feel like there should be some sort of visual indicator. Fighting them feels like pulling teeth

[ionic ice]

The missions pay relatively good now.

[static lark]

The zone might be worse than Australia in terms of everything wanting you dead, I mean you can’t even walk without wind wanting you to die

[torpid canyon]

They always run to the back & barely move. It’s easy to tell them apart.

[vapid shadow]

God... Am i the only one that did the swamp mission with a ton over weight and went straight to Sircaa.

[warped stream]

I did that too, and you cant even store/sell at sircaa

[void coral]

i made a detour to Sultansk on the way there and thouroghly recommend doing so for newbies

[spark parrot]

I straight up just haul ass from any psi-dogs. I do not even use ammo on them if I can help it. I also didn't see much of an issue with ammo prices before the changes, but my play style includes me usually avoiding confrontation and now I have over 3000 5.45 rounds in my stash lol.

[ionic ice]

Why are buckshots blue when the ammo you pick up is red? Literally unplayable

[maiden grotto]

It makes no sense though... It's a jab, you can jab yourself when you are running...

It's just annoying and spoils the game. And it's curse on modern gaming

[vapid shadow]

I was almost wondering if I messed up and found the endgame (which it's not) early. Replayed it a few times just to figure out if I was making the choices I wanted

[shrewd zenith]

the heck is going on. my game's crashed and now i need to download 8.33GB of update

[static lark]

I wish you could take the PSO off of the Vintar

[torpid canyon]

You literally just answered your own question.

[maiden grotto]

I liked the original stalker game, wher you can get bits of mutants and sell them... Which you should be able to do in this game, sell harvested parts to the scientists to study... an extra source of income.

[gaunt palm]

You can with electric collars I think

[spark parrot]

Yeah, I was disappointed to see this missing too.

[weary hedge]

Yeah some mutants drop collars, like the quest related ones and the one in the bandit camp with the renegade symbol on the cargo containers.

[maiden grotto]

no they are not, still get missions around 1500... just a bit more than the cost of a clip of ammo...

[ionic ice]

Are you playing on veteran?

[deft meteor]

whats up with all the green glowing radios around the zone?

[static lark]

So I’ve heard the Weird Nut is broken does this mean I shouldn’t pick it up?

[sharp stream]

It’ll crash if you inspect it I believe, I just didn’t pick it up at all just to be safe

It’s the bolt btw

[sharp flame]

i just looted the weird nut, no inspect... no crashes

[dense quartz]

Yes its the weird bolt not the weird nut you weirdo

[weary hedge]

Yeah those missions would’ve originally gave you like 700 lmao now those missions give you 1500 and 1500 used to be “good”.

[void coral]

the real money is in the looting

[ionic ice]

@maiden grotto Then drop your difficulty. Veteran is known to be overly difficult, if youre not having fun then whats the point

[static lark]

I love that this games version of invisible walls are just unsurvivable radiation (I’m totally not fuming cause I’m about to waste 40 more minutes walking back to where I was)

[maiden grotto]

Yup

@gaunt palm Got a collar and not a thing

[torpid canyon]

A Bolt 🌰 A Nut.

[warped stream]

oh just you wait until the border control guys that are invincible and 1 tap you

[zenith sedge]

stalker i hardly know her

[harsh jungle]

I want to punch Scar in the face

[weary hedge]

sounds like something a monolith supporter would say

[void coral]

got 2,250 from the brood shipment quest in Slag Heap

but got 4307 from the guns i could sell. let alone the ammo and supplies

[trail fiber]

Im gonna say to the hell with it and haul ass to the objective if there is a emission

[static lark]

Tell me about it called me a “Snitch” for doing my job

[sharp flame]

does weird nut stop you from bleeding anymore?

[ionic ice]

the emission always happens dude. It's hard coded

[slate topaz]

The response on that quest always felt randomly aggressive given we have no loyalty to anyone at that stage lol

[maiden grotto]

The game is not difficult on veteran... It's just silly ways of making it hard.

Paying stupidly low for missions, that barely pay for ammo, is a stupid way of making the game hard... There are far better way to do that...

[weary hedge]

lmfao salary sacrifice 😂 😂 monolith was just like oh shit i smell unionisation on the horizon - REJECTED

[queen summit]

Does Hamster still die if he touches a door?

[harsh jungle]

when’s the earliest I can kill him in the main quest I’m tired of him

[torpid canyon]

The ‘Weird Nut’ doesn’t do anything at all.

[static lark]

Literally never met bro in my life and he’s acting like I did something wrong

All I did was the job given to me by the only people that would talk to me up to that point, like cmon man

[ionic ice]

Then lower your difficulty, its really not that complicated dude

[weary hedge]

Walk around them.

[zenith sedge]

you cant really kill him but you can turn him into braun from fallout 3

[warped stream]

just pointing them out, havent really had issues myself. I'm just waiting for new modpacks or dlc since all I have left with the game is a few annoying acheivements

[slate topaz]

Yup. Luckily, he gets over it and isn’t actually that mad. But when he said it I was like damn chill. 😂

[maiden grotto]

They changed it? I didn't notice at all XD

[harsh jungle]

Isn’t there an achievement that you get for killing him tho fr

[weary hedge]

if youre on pc, try some of the difficulty mods on nexus, you can beef up weapon damage while dropping health pools, if you so desired. there is definitely some tuning you can do to make the game feel better, i basically one tap humans at this point, except Exo's - but I can also be killed very quickly by enemies.

[static lark]

This. Almost deleted the game the other day cause I was on Veteran then I was like “maybe it’s actually a good game lemme just try it on a different difficulty” now I love the game

It might be a skill issue and I might need to “get gud” but I don’t care I like enjoying things instead of just punching brick over and over again

[torpid canyon]

Same.

[clear notch]

Is there a way to go back to patch 1.1 on GamePass PC? My fps dropped by half

[zenith sedge]

Lol I played most the game around 120fps on a 4090 until the Faust fight I had to do that shit at 15fps for god knows why

[maiden grotto]

That is exactly what I do.... made a fortune out of it... Just go out kill some bandits and then haul back to the shop.

[void coral]

pregnant man this mans

aww it was deleted

[dense quartz]

Yes patchnotes of P1 say so.
My issue with the flashlight isnt its brightness you just cant see far enough with it and sometimes indoors everything is so dark and you cant see the enemies at the end of the room but they can see you and shoot you. Bad combo that is

[weary hedge]

what did the server do to you, you big bully 😭

[static lark]

Half the time I forget I even have the flashlight on and I go to turn it on and I then realize it’d been on the whole time so then I have to turn it back on again cause I just turned it off

Long story short flashlight is still 💩 give me NVGs please @young magnet

[burnt snow]

So why did they put instakill snipers at duga when you are required to go there for quests

[ionic ice]

The most obvious path is not always the right one ;)

[void coral]

need to go to the far south of the Duga

@sharp flame that is why i dropped using the vintar for my first playthrough. can't scrounge ammo off the dead like you can with a Dnipro or Clusterf***

[slate topaz]

I feel like I’m going so slow since this is my first Stalker game. I’ve had it since Day 1 but am only at Like a Moth quest

[sharp flame]

you gotta stick to the paths it wants you too there, really annoyed me cause once you start you cant leave till you finish, run out of ammo or something? too bad F you

[torpid canyon]

All of the above.

[hoary orbit]

Does anybody know how I'm supposed to repair my relations with the scientist faction?

[static lark]

Illuminating 3 feet in front of me is goofy like I said flashlight is garbage give me NVGs

[maiden grotto]

I am very careful when I use mods.

Currently I am using the reasonable rate of wear and tear, so when you fire it once, you don;t end up with a bill where you have to sell your soul.

I am also using a mod to reduce the cost of repairs, with friendly factions only, but I also fell that it should stop you from repairing weapons that hate, there always needs to be pro's and cons to provide balance

[void coral]

if you're aligned with ||Spark/Scar|| you cannot

[weary hedge]

I think luckily, Stalker 2 will have a huge modding community. So we will be able to tailor everything to our own specific likes and dislikes, eventually. Will be nice :p

[ionic ice]

I really could not care less about it not making shadows. People complain about performance and then complain about something that WOULD make the performance worse

[dense quartz]

Dude this is 10000% Truth i relate totaly

[hoary orbit]

I have just killed faust at the duga? and I didnt' do anything to them. (I'm also talking about the ones at the X-17 Labs)

[burnt snow]

Mmm yes clearly scripted immortal snipers cutting me off from scar are very good game design

[static lark]

This guy is a masochist and hates fun

[light ingot]

Can someone please direct me to the STALKER 2 bug report area (emission crashes muh game)

[ionic ice]

Youre going in at the wrong place. Theyre not supposed to see you.

[torpid canyon]

So you’re a complainer of performance issues then?

[burnt snow]

I am walking through the forest to get to him and the sniper does not care

[maiden grotto]

I always turn it off, enemies just spot you from a mile away and shoot you as well....

So I just run around in the dark most of time, and only use the tourch when I am buildings

[static lark]

Have you tried crouching and turning off your light?

[dense quartz]

People that complain about performance should understand that their pc they spent 800€ on in 2018 will not be able to handle a 2024 UE5 game in a good way. If you want to play nee stuff invest in new hardware. Half the people who complain about fps run old hardware.

The shadows from flashlight were present in stalker SOC and COP and these games are from years ago. The athmosphere and immersion this feature brings is unmatched.
Could also add a option to toggle it off if ppl are afraid of their frames.

[ionic ice]

My PC runs the game fine. I never even said i complained about performance, im saying the same people that complain about performance complain about a performance hindering feature

[weary hedge]

I just “weird nutted” all over the place.

[maiden grotto]

I agree, but then you also have to be aware that hardware companies are fleecing players and expect everyone to be a whale...

Investors can go f*ck themselves, with their greed.

[static lark]

Who decided to name it that

[burnt snow]

The light is trash I don't use it, I just had to go super wide and avoid the whole forest and then go straight towards scar and the others

[jolly tinsel]

anyone else getting a random shotgun in one of your slots you never picked up?

[sterile pagoda]

is the "lynx" an dlc weapon?

[rough cypress]

Patch

[weary hedge]

No

[torpid canyon]

So you think the game should look unrealistic as much as possible then? I highly doubt, with the technology we have today, casting shadows would pose a big threat to performance.

[ionic ice]

Jesus christ, the flashlight not making shadow is not that immersion breaking. Calm tf down, it not making a shadow doesnt make it "look as unrealistic as possible" and you know that

[jolly tinsel]

nope just the m60 cracker

[sterile pagoda]

Does anyone know if the "kharod" is a rare weapon?

[dense quartz]

One year ago i played on a gtx 1070 and i7 6700k. Every game i played in the past years i spent 4 hours to get it to a playable state and die im shooters because of 30fps. Last year i bought a 1400€ pc ( last one i bought 2014). This was the best investment and i can read all those comments here about performance and giggle and play stalker fluently wirhout crashes in 120. stable fps.

People nowadays dont blink buying or wishing for a 1200€ Iphone but go home and play 4 hours on their shit computer and get angry at their performance.

[little root]

Rarer

[weary hedge]

If it’s not found in the journalists stashes no.

@sterile pagoda it’s rare, the description will tell you as much, it’s a good gun. It’s my main gun.

[torpid canyon]

But Buckshot rendered in the wrong colour is?

[ionic ice]

??? Thats completely unrelated

[sharp flame]

yeah its funny, people get a mid range pc an expect it to last 5 yrs playing the newest games each year

[trail fiber]

I am gonna lose my damn mind

[maiden grotto]

Well, that is why mobile phones are insidious as they spread the cost of the phone over the course of the contract, very few people buy them out right, just pay £50 a month to text people...

It is just one giant scam.

[tender jasper]

Flashlight makes no difference if NPC see you lol

[trail fiber]

The mutant followed my ass the entire time, I give up this is ridiculous

[ionic ice]

Drop the weight and chug energy drinks

[void coral]

Even into the shelter?

[maiden grotto]

Harder to see when you are not standing out like firework display...

The only thing I am worried about is getting shot through walls, cars, doors and other bits of scenary... Only been happening after the recent up date

[torpid canyon]

Is there not a single rock you can climb on?

[dense quartz]

Dont worry happened before patch also haha

[forest python]

Why Skif talking like he is in the mask of some sort now, he didnt do that before

[trail fiber]

Im in the swamps, there isn't a single shelter, it's just cabins and a huge swamp and this mutant went from Point A to Point E even though I hauled ass to get to the objective, the mutant just straight up teleported to me and killed me during a emission

[static lark]

Just got the Dnipro

[void coral]

did you beline for the objective marker?

[wide timber]

wait the unknown guy that apearwd at the sphere is scar?

[ionic ice]

Are you overweight? Do you have energy drinks? If so, drop the extra weight and when you run out of stamina chug a drink.

[maiden grotto]

I am hoping they will sort this out.... Eventually 😂

[sterile pagoda]

is having 450 thousand koupouns good?

[weary hedge]

tried all of that, reloaded a save about 25 times and all i come up with is the same artifact over and over again, well over 200 meters away

[dense quartz]

I read that its bc the ai doesnt correctly register when the player is behind cover so they stay shooting and since penetration exists thats a bad combo

[harsh jungle]

which unknown guy

[stable breach]

Goddamn, I want they turn off Auto Sorting, OCD is killing me

[wide timber]

he saves you from a bunch of gooner

[ionic ice]

Auto sorting where? You dont have to sort your inventory

[tender jasper]

Yea if it actualy mattered NPCs cant see your flashlight at all. Already proven you can stand behind one and shine your flashlight on them and they wqont see it. Why we dont have nightvision because you can just use the flashlight without being seen.

[trail fiber]

My weight is 58

[torpid canyon]

He means stash.

[sterile pagoda]

Has anyone else done the mission called "for the name of sceince?"

[static lark]

So now how the hell do I get down from this cooling tower?

[unkempt vault]

I don’t see the point of the chimera if you have to just run past it they may as well have put fire and acid anomalies

[maiden grotto]

Yup, the Chimera... Sloppy programming with this spawn spamming garbage... Just because some thing doesn't work, don't do something stupid to compensate for it. It will just push people away

[void coral]

yeah i had a guy perfectly track me with his AK74 through a wall, that he could shoot through. the nearest piece of visible wall was a solid 2 feet above the line of bullet holes

[deft meteor]

decided for duga i would use Strelok's gun from SoC (in S2 it's called Spitfire) and man does this thing kick hard

[slender fern]

is fast travel actually limited to npcs only at city locations?

[junior current]

the amount of people who cry about the chimera emisssion thing is hilarious

[ionic ice]

Im surprised you dont know how weight mechanics work at this point in the game. Max weight is 50. Drop useless shit you have on you then haul ass

[stable breach]

if your guide died in one of the location, you bet you ass that you will walk to that location

[maiden grotto]

AI needs to be banned for hacking lol!

Permaban, the sh*t out of it. Hate cheaters lol

[static lark]

Uh guys how do I get down from the cooling tower after teleporting up here? (Without dying I mean)

[dire kindle]

All you have to do is literally run and that’s it
I did that mission with the duty exo
Soon as I saw the emission thing
Took the suit off and ran towards that bridge house and bunker
Done in a single try
Too bad people can’t problem solve on the go

[junior current]

i read that unicorns are real

[sterile pagoda]

anyone else done the mission called "for the name of sceince?" i need help in dms

[torpid canyon]

The same way you got up there? Is that an option…

[slender fern]

yeah, just finished it

[thick berry]

i had a similar experience haha only problem i had was going there early for the cache and just getting teleported around and was confused af lmao had to give up and turns out my next mission was to go there lol

[static lark]

No there’s not another portal

[void coral]

@trail fiber an appropriate poll closure lmao

[sharp flame]

over the edge, look for where the bouncy anomaly is and land on that

[thick berry]

also yo whats the new moose mutant thing called? or is it an elk?

[static lark]

You’re joking

[void coral]

Nope

The misty looking gravity anomalies let you fall from any height safely

[sharp flame]

I am not, I reloaded my save cause nothing good up there... but after i did, i saw when i was running around below there a bouncy anomalies around the edge

[junior current]

y u snitch for, i was waiting for him to rage in chat

[static lark]

There’s a Dnipro… and ammo and stuff

[sharp flame]

meh, I got the sledgehammer shotgun, don't care bout all dat other stuff 😛

[fringe crypt]

A Minor Incident is still bugged. Cant progress in the story at all anymore

[static lark]

The Dnipro is the best gun in the game and you can get it early wdym you don’t care

[deft meteor]

can someone tell me how monolith soldiers are pumping a Spas12. like, how are they doing that, its a semi auto

[void coral]

technically it is both
just that if you use lower power shells like beanbags you need to pump it
as for why ingame? no idea lmao.

[weary hedge]

#❔┃seeking-for-advice

[sharp flame]

best gun to me is a shotgun with slug rounds 😄

[junior stump]

@paper dune im here and i installed the emitter but dalin was never here to ask me to break it

[static lark]

Actually it’s either, there’s a button on the side that changes it from Semi to Pump. Most games don’t include this though (idk why they made it a pump in Stalker 2 cause now you have 2 double barrels, 2 pumps, and 1 semi but yk)

[void coral]

well if YOU use it it's Semi-auto not pump

[static lark]

It is? Then why do the Monolith Pump it? Are they stupid?

[polar shell]

it would be cool if each scanner had their own unique beep

[ionic ice]

They do

On a sidenote, why is the veles detector the same as the svarog detector in this game

[torpid canyon]

I was gonna say… They do.

[harsh jungle]

I forgot to get an achievement so I have to restart my save

[dire heart]

I partition for the ability to pet tiger

[junior current]

petition but partition will help separate everyone else from being eaten when you pet the tiger

[static lark]

I’m still on the BEAR detector so

Also @dire heart I think you mean Petition
Partition is usually a thing that divides nations

[shut spire]

GSC can we please get a STALKER MMO. I asked Santa also for this so hopefully he get's the meeting set up with you after he sorts the kiddies out.

[deft meteor]

do NOT accept ||faust|| help on top of duga, you get an achievement but you lose your ability to walk.
