Low Dura is ok when it's ammo efficient
Nah but it’s super low durability
i need to try to remember where the 30 round Buket mag is.
100 rounds has you down to like 40 percent durability
What is MK1?
308 rifle commonly used by Mercs.
Last weapon I leveled in warzone.
But it sucks
Has the worst sniper stats of all snipers
for some reason
The svu is just better in every way except it can’t be suppressed
Wellllll
by normal means no
but like there's almost no reason to
like it would just wear it down faster
Eh not that much faster but fair
I still think it’s a sad reality we got the rhino instead of the desert eagle from the original trilogy
it's like what, 15% faster
on top of if you've decided to feed the SVU AP
and on top of the damage the gun takes when your target is shooting back at you
Technically m017 super with ap is better than Gauss rifle
the Rhino being in 9x39 feels weird too because we KNOW what 9x39 looks like
Ap adds like 70 percent pen or what ever
It’s not inaccurate though
There is a real revolver that takes 9x39
it's not, no, the Rhino is very nice for a handcannon type of gun.
gag
Cylinder size is of course way different cus the 9x39 is a rifle round but that thing fires 9x39
i think this time i won't make a return trip to the WPS for the guns i would leave because the trip there might cost me more in repairs
like i only get like 500+ for things like AKUs.
Just carry 3 guns
Then you can carry more guns to sell
Need to make up for durability loss

i wish a little the Buket could use a 2x

not sure why you'd ever use ap unless fighting bosses / mutants
svu one-shots in head everything even on veteran, even the toughest monolith exos
and shooting in body is just silly
OH MY GOSH I GOT LIQUID ROCK FROM MY 3RD TRY
wow what? but gauss can one-shot everything in body, can m017 do that too? I don't think so
How do you adjust for the sight over bore on something like this I never understand
Thats a funny way to spell a pistol and a rifle
You don't need more than a sidearm and a main weapon most of the time
At least not if you're using a good sidearm anyway
I carry 3 guns
It can with ap
Sniper, shotgun, rifle, pistol, so 4 even
Also the gauss doesn’t one shot everything
idk. shotgun for mutants, AR for mid-range sometimes long range, skif's pistol to shoot rats. That's the minimum for me. Sometimes want a sniper on top of it for long range, or RPG for pseudogiant
Not enough gauss snipers in pripyat
Is there difference between regular gauss and scar's gauss?
Let’s check the doc
I used scar's gauss and I was able to shoot EVERYONE in body past point of no return, even the toughest granite soldiers
You don't reload scars and it's damage is higher
Yeah.. thats way excessive imo, I just run whatever main weapon takes my fancy at the time + ABSP/UDP
i want to get my hands on a Ram-2 because while i do like the Spas i have, it just costs a lot to repair but idk if a Ram will be better lol.
why....
what do you use for mutants? Also what difficulty you play on. On rookie ofc no problem can just run with ar for everything
Ram is more expensive to repair
Gauss does 500 damage way more than is displayed
Why are pseudogiants so much stronger in 2
ram is more expensive lol, but you can get it in yantar I think, unless they changed it. but in malachite for sure
Veteran, with a mod to make balancing harsher than vanilla
"Immersion"...
as it should be. they are super rare
Not really you are probably always gonna see the spawned pseudogiants
i saw one for sale in Yaniv but couldn't afford it and idk where there's a drop for one when that body in Yantar didn't have one for me.
Its rather annoying that you can't strip the scope off the base gauss rifle an the EM is the only one with irons
I don't think they spawn again
Ikr
Legit, I would actually use the normal Gauss if you could
in malachite you can get a free ram, it's in that building with bubbles just before the base
Still don’t know how monolith could tank hits from the gauss maybe they fixed it
wym? I'm not sure I follow
Corundum suit be cracked
hmm building with bubbles....is that where you're taken to do a mission from the STC woman?
When did you play? They did fix it but it was one of the first patches. They made gauss and rpg stronger
I mean why’d I want irons on a super slow firing sniper
Mind you, there are body armours nowdays capable of tanking .50BMG, like sure it'll mess your insides up good, but you wont get hit by the bullet itself
yes, there you can find a ram
Uh i beat the game before any major patches dropped
I still prefer falcon that you can get easily almost instantly at malachite
Same reason the Cavalier is fun to use, them sweet 360 noscopes
then beat again now 
If it wasn’t so slow maybe
But no for real, irons on single shot rifles just hits different, swhy I wish we had a Mosin
Working on it
Agreed. I loved scar's gauss past the point of no return. It was perfect for granite soldiers. Idk what I would do without
I just gave up on it when I played and switched back to regular bullets lol
It was so ass
Its a shame you cant use any of the endgame unique weapons prior to that point without console commands, but alas
Like the unique apsb
I'm also not in love with the EM having an infinitely deep mag, a middle ground of irons, but the need to reload would be ideal
Goated fucken gun
yeah, I mean saiga's drum mag is just too OP lol. Sotnyk is sweet but not that special. Same about scar's gauss
I only wish we could use X7. I kinda like it
Ya know I dont think I even got that tbh, will have to key it in an check it out
I’d use it if you could upgrade it
oh yeah that one is pretty good alright
It’s got a damage boost
you don't get it if you do ward's ending
Hmm nice, I have a mod that lets you use attachments from unique guns so will mess with that an see what its like
I like that mod
Its Doctor's ending i beleive is where you get it, but I just dint pick it up
Unique guns with welded attachments is so dumb
OXA? Yeah it slaps, goated mod
Each ending where you kill colonel. I haven't done spark's, but in both doctor and strelok you kill him
Sotnyk scope on SVU is great
I think you kill him in all besides ward's no?
The gun is on the colonels body
i really should go grab that i feel. maybe after i've done the story mission, when i've returned with guns from a nearby location that had a Burer
At least it should be
Ah that'll be why then, I dont think I looted anything off the Colonel at any point, which was probably a bit stupid, but alas
Let me put the Sotynk laser on the 416
Yeah it's goated. Exo dia is of course even better but it's kind of buggy to get, you need upgrade for sprint, and it's much more expensive so you will spend too much on repairs
416 is dog
Can probably do that with OXA
Where's falcon is around the price of SEVA suits. If you do want a seva suit, then again spark's is the best one, and you can get it easily on yantar
Not so much with Better Ballistics, makes most of the guns viable all the way into endgame
you're supposed to loot him to get a quest thingy. you prolly just didn't notice unique apsb
Even the double barrels are good with it
Reason: Bad word usage
i have the spark SEVA lol.
I would mod my PC version but I’m just worried it’ll nuke my cloud saves
oh man this is my biggest problem with weapon balance. double barrels are just sooooooooooo bad. basically unusuable. idk maybe it's also because of my latency with GFN
Nah, your saves will be fine, just don't start ripping mods out mid-playthrough, as is the norm with modding games.
Make a hardsave first, then install stuff, if you dont like it, just go back to the unmodded hardsave
Nice. Also, don't get crazy with upgrades on seva or falcon, coz it makes them more expensive, so the repairs too become more exp
SOMEONE MADE THE MOD FOR THIS
Nah I’m talking about swapping between Xbox and pc, I only use my computer when my buddies aren’t online
Oh with no long press? Okay that's nice
Finally you can remove the dog shit hold to use quick use
Oh, then just have one save for modded and one save vanilla
I hated that shit so much
yeah it's purely a console thing
If you never load the save on console, it wont freak out and you'll be fine
The options are in key binds but you can’t bind them
I just don’t fucken get it

Idk about that, I have them bound to mouse keys, that being said, I did it on release version of the game so 🤷♂️
the only thing my SEVA V suit has is a thing it came with and an additional slot and a leaded one.
wait but SEVA V is freedom's, not spark's. Spark's is SEVA I
There are 4 key bind options
where did you get your SEVA? on rostok or yantar
But you can’t bind 2 of them
is it? i do have the Spark one from Yantar though i just forgot the name
Oh right I see what you mean, myb, yeah I just rebound the base two and hold to shift item, very easy to do on mouse keys
yeah. V stands for Volya (Freedom). I for Iskra (Spark)
I mean you can also notice that seva-i is blue while seva-v is green. And desc mentions it too
I mean sure but it’s annoying
If I want to quick use items
I want to use them instantly
I don’t want to fricken wait

I rebound 1 mouse side key for quick use too. And the other for quick save lol coz I save a lot. While the other quick slot I bound to... ~ but I never use it anyway, I just need bandage / medkit in combat
maybe if the devs had done a double tab solution instead
yeah lol
Eh, depends what you put in what slot in my experience, meds on tap, food/rads medication on hold, you basically never need the latter on demand the same you do meds
I mean it’s purely for consoles
that could be dope but still not needed on pc when you have like 50 keys you can use. it's purely for console
It servers no other purpose
On pc it’s a total no brainer to use 4 keys
You would never ever want it any other way
The real annoying thing about the console holdover design is the weapon wheel
I like the weapon wheel tbh
never used it. for these you have keys fortunately
Weapon wheel on a PC makes very little sense an is just aggravating
you can use keys to switch mode, caliber, weapons etc
Ofc, but you accidentally tap the key an it interrupts gameplay which is very annoying
I also dont love that rebinding caliber swap key doesnt also rebind underbarrel swaps
heh idk never happens to me, you can remap / remove it maybe
yeah it's more annoying. but I never use underbarrel tbh. I think only shotgun could make sense
I like it in doom
So maybe that’s my problem
But it does make the game easier
That I agree
You're sleepin on the grenade launcher then, the 40mm slaps
I never run any guns that use one
too hard to get ammo
Bandit-be-gone juice
Yeah, its not easy to run, but Eugene always sells one or two, so you can stock it up over time
Usually you dont have one anyway until a fair bit into the game so provided you go Rostock early its easy to get a good number of them
i feel like i would still want a double tab to use my hold quick access because i don't wanna use a key that is far from my hand's default position
I just found a 3rd STALKER NonStop energy drink. Not sure if that is unusual but I only recall talk of two of them.
the orange cans?
Yes
there's a handful
They basically are just collectibles
Same here. I have three real ones too.
Idek if there is a difference between the two types
i'm trying to get onto a harvester to jump to another for a stash i know is there but i can't get him to vault up reee
I would but I’m not paying like 50 bux to import a can
Yes, they were expensive,
I have like 6-7? Could be like 10 in total
Found more so far
Nonstop jungle does look good
Gsc should send us staff a 12 pack of non stop

We’re so epic and based
Surely we’ve earned it
Its always sunny in the shining zone
Are there purple ones too do you know?
Will they send us half mods diet? 
nope only orange
Addiction system 
Stalker 2 needs Adderall
When you take one it would give you the effect of eating catnip in postal 2
Your pain tolerance increases as your too dialed in to even notice you’ve been shot
Adderall? Homie is talking about solid amphetamine over here
Ignoring gunshots
I use to have the knock off shit and those had a funny quirk
They we’re suppose to be 30mg but some of them could be actually as high as 100mg
That shit makes you feel like you could punch through concrete and feel nothing
And also like your gonna die
@charred nova You talking about the saiga in X7?
The drum mag can be found in the end game
Oh
It’s an attachment
hmm, i'm at some farm buildings or something and there's snorks in a cage and mercs but the mercs aren't hostile but i swear they were last time and i see there's a merc suit in the cage and i want it because it's good coupons
Must have missed it
I did as well but people say it’s there
Theres a saiga with a drum mag on a shelf, but I didn't find a drum mag on its own
it is there, i know i grabbed it on my first run's first ending and then again when i loaded a save, made another choice and then got Strelok's ending
I see
I'll have to keep an eye out when I do Strelok's ending
I got Skif's ending
man...i shot the Snorks in the head from nothing but a few meters away with the MK1 and it took 3 shots to kill them. that makes me sad
bro that's literally just amphetamine 💀
what location?
Well at high doses yah
Why I got different ones
Because it felt terrible
Concerta 
So is the game good now or nah
Yo idk know if this is stalker 2 related but what's the sdk everyone is using emojis to say in the #📜┃gsc-answers
Better than it was but by no means a complete game yet
Come back in 3 months
Wake me up when it's basically anomaly 2.0 reskinned and modded to high hell , back to sleep
You will be asleep forever
That day will never come lol
I'll be awake forever too cause I'm also waiting on silksong
Game not real
What a sad state modern gaming is in rn
Time to replay the handful of few old but gold games and small but good indie titles over for the quadrillionth time
Opens terraria
Ew no
The game is Hella good, I have 80 hours and I don't plan on stopping any time soon, remember stalker ! There are no bugs in the game they're just anomalies in the zone !
Take off rose tinted shades friend

wiki : the game
Only if you want it to be
Ia that a mod or smt 😂
I’m just telling people who haven’t played yet to wait
Better to not ruin your first play through
I bought the game like years ago , played for like idk 1 hour and then never touched it. Rather just play Factorio or something
I agree but in my first playthrough I didn't have any bugs or whatsoever, that's just my pov
I liked it but I’m also extremely aware the game is extremely raw
Have like 600 hours and like 100 in factorio
I have more hours on astroneer
Even thought games automation stuff is kinda wack I had a lot of fun with it
hello help i have Get Crash Reports ?
Was going to download S.T.A.L.K.E.R.2 again, but the ISP is having a bit of a vacation. In the meentime I hope between drg, cyberpunk and inquisitor martyr.
That's a sign from the beyond, to not play the game
no help here. only bickering here
At less then 4MB/s... I would rather play something else.
that bug they've made with dead mutants making sounds over and over again is really annoying.
hmm. my game froze again
it’s just like a Bethesda game
Fr, did the last part of In the Name of Science the other day, and through the entire conversation with Dvupalov and Shcherba the three dead bloodsuckers around were spamming their dying sounds.
Seriously, what's wrong with Terraria?
Nothing I love terraria
Also surprise, I am still alive.
Gosh darn weather trying to kill everyone; this is by far the worst Winter I've seen in a long time.
There's a small town up here that got 79 inches of snow.
Where the fuck do you live mate
The Yukon
Upstate New York.
The town that called hit is called Palermo, it's right off the coast of Lake Ontario, which explains why it got so much snow.
Damn
Is that normal for them or is 79 inches of snow like "end of the world" tier there
Blame the lack of fishing *
Well they're in Oswego County which is right next to the lake, so they do normally get a ton of snow. (Not as much as the Tug Hill Plateau, but still a good amount.)
But honestly no, I'm pretty sure this is an abnormal amount of snow even for them.
Like I said, this is legitimately one of the worst, harshest Winters we've had in a couple years. We're dealing with an (artificial) salt shortage because none of the municipalities had stocked up for anything like this.
Holy crap, i live in TX and basically the entire state shut down over 7 inches of snow in 2021. I cannot imagine trying to deal with multiple feet of snow and ice
Not none, but there just isn't enough to go around.
The main problem is how unrelenting this Winter has been. Normally there would be a day or two of calm before the next bout of Lake Effect hits, but it's been snowing every single day for the past month, and the months before that had constant snow as well.
The temperatures are below normal averages as well.
We need a fishing update gif
@cobalt fiber we need to enlist the help of sparrow to get us a fishing update gif
You get used to it (proper winter tires being mandated in the winter months also helps)
I see so few people up here with Winter tires and it just blows my mind.
AWD or 4WD don't mean much if you don't have traction.
0 traction multiplies by 4 is still 0
O.o possible CNPP update tease?!
You know what else is crazy? I live in the hills; higher elevation = more snow and colder temperatures. Even up here I still barely see anyone with Winter tires.
Insanity.
thats becasue TX is not equipped to handle it
Also Canada officially became independent last night
Reason: Bad word usage
Yeah lol its like the end of the world as soon as it drops below 32
F*ck?
Okay, not sure what word triggered it.
youre a naughty boy
Howdy yall
Anyways, as I was saying....
I'm genuinely so sick of this Winter; this was the first time in my life where I've full-on spun out and went off the road and gotten stuck in my driveway.
Mmm I feel that since I am in the Midwest
Upstate New York here, I think we're beating you in the snow department, especially this year.
South Dakota has crazy winter here, my school had a week while it was negative
And we had two late starts but we got out early due to uhh Chemistry Class
Upper Midwest Winters are some of, if not the coldest in all of the US.
The windchill is the real killer.
South Dakota or probably all of the Midwest has four harsh seasons
And winter is one of them, I worked out to warm up because its cold as hell
All of the Upper Midwest definitely.
All of that flat land means you have zero cover from the wind; there's nothing to block it.
I be like "dude its been -17°F in this b*tch like what school has the insane way to get to school, its like hearing your parents how they got to school"
Im in the Black Hills but God its so cold even when you have mountains around you
Oh yeah, I live in the hills in Upstate and the wind can get nasty up here too.
It's even worse in the spots where it's more farmland because there's no tree cover. (It's mostly forested up here outside of those spots.)
I was a Illinois boy so I was born in the flatlands and the city, not Chicago
HEY IM WALKING HERE
That's NYC, I'm a 4 and half hour drive away.
fun....seems my game is bugged now. my HUD is staying off, even on loading a quicksave and even on a reboot load
Turn show hud on and off in settings
thanks
well that is nice, i still use the Buket and i just found the extended mag for it while moving underground for my story mission at the WSP
welcome to the zone IRL bb
man they really did not test how the new attack they gave the controller feels
has anyone noticed the large area over the iron forest, cnpp, and generators that arent covered by clouds anymore?
Yes
Yee
Happened with last updoot
wanted to make sure i wasnt seeing things
if you get the console unlocker and use noclip + godmode because of the ungodly amount of radiation in the area you can explore them, though there isnt anything there last time i checked
Or maybe the vid they released earlier hinted at it?
Guys is there a way to keep my Hud on at all times
where Where mods
like seeing my stamina, rads etc. because it keeps fading away after a few seconds
Uhh had nearly finished selling all the things I needed to and then my game froze so I likely will have to do it again
That’s a classic

my game crashed so hard or whatever it did that it took steam with it
Yip, happened to me back in December.
Anyway now my story mission is the one where I gotta go to the Azimuth station but I’m thinking about if I want to to instead loot around Agroprom or travel to Chemical via guide then run to Malachite.
I do want the Falcon suit and I gotta see if there’s a Ram in Malachite for free too.
first discussing adderall now discussing winter tires
man I'm glad #☢┃stalker-general is not full of negativity like it used to but how offtopic it is now is really funny
Yeah
Better to have enlightening discussions than to drown in misery

Misery was an awesome mod though!
Yah I’ve heard people like that one
Even crimson
Worlds most prolific mod hater
Apparently liked misery
I mean, CoC + Misery -> CoM -> Anomaly -> Gamma, something like this
and gamma is the most popular mod right now, and anomaly. and they are based on misery in part
Might check it out at some point
yeah it's pretty good. Polish I think
my hands are the sweatiest they've ever been..
Sidorovich is a real piece of junk
too bad the devs knew we were going to throw grenades at him for this game
Makes them turn into duds

looks like they wont be fixing the game / release roadmap any time soon like they promised
lets hold them accountable guys
Investor's have legitimate channels to go through... Anyone waiting for a roadmap is a joke. Refund the game.
calm down bro, just wait and continue Anomaly. The game will change a lot this year and it will be good
When you are whining on twitter later on. Rather shine a light on the fact that the game does not have stand alone Anti aliasing.
dont use tweeeter
Don't really care about a roadmap to be honest, but they should do some fixes to mission/spawn triggers.
Oh or the rubbish placement of the blueprints.
i dont think theyre taking concers seriously is all. they got the good reviews and sales that they wanted.
When PlayStation support
its alot of problems bro
yea
Roadmaps are for losers who want to stick their fingers in someone face, like some hysterical case of buyer's remorse.
i mean i was one of the people hyping them up and i do love the game but ive been waiting months to play it without a whole bunch of issues lmao
Well yelling at them and getting angry so far has done literally nothing to make updates come faster
i think its good because it creates a sense of timeline, they have something to stick up to and keep up with. its a good thing.
The fixed each update brings are massive number but everyone seems to have new issues all the time
Or in the case of EA games, you want to be lied to your face. A Roadmap meens nothing.
Personally I think we won’t get a road map till the underlaying foundation has been patched up
We’re getting there maybe 2 to 3 more months for that dunno
Maybe longer
Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying you shouldn’t be upset about it
+1 on this
Well at least it's in the oven now, so perhaps after a couple of patches more.
We can hope
I can’t remember I the last time I’ve played an ea game lol
Well, it's going to be out sooner or later either way
It's better to wait and get something good than to play a bad game
Most likely later
same, was last nfs i think
Like it sucks I don’t really have goods news for those who are frustrated
:/
Just hope and pray
Made my way to Malachite and STC. Even found a Thunderberry in the lightning cluster out front of the place so that’s cool lol.
I also found a yellow Saiga in a stash but idk if I want to use it
i feel like if everyone is cool with it, theres no rush to work hard on it.
No one is happy
Well some are but
Most even if they like the game like my self
Fully acknowledge its broken
And has a long way to go
I love how hard the Rhino hits even with body shots because it’s been saving me from Snorks. I still get hit but it’s manageable
And rest assured the devs are working
OH MY GOSH I FINALLY GOT HYPERCUBE AFTER 3 HOURS OF GRIND AND 1 HOUR OF GOING INSANE
LES GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Now imma go get the easy artifact the compass
I had been artifact hunting with the hilka alone for like 40+ hours, and now I carry the bear detector with me to switch for convenience when I am in anomaly fields. and it truly is a different game when you use something that isn't the hilka with those artifacts jumping around now 
Both the saiga and thunderberry are real nice.
I wonder if there's a legendary artifact I haven't found yet, I don't farm, I just go get any when my detector beeps. so far I've gotten thunderberry, compass, liquid rock and hypercube, how many more do I need to complete the legendary collection?
Those are the ones I know.
nice. I'm trying to get them all but I don't know the full list, so I just get excited when I find an artifact I haven't seen before
While only classed as "Rare", the Night Star is the best weight artifact (and I find less of them than the actual legendaries)
that mustve been real pain in the ass to get all those artifacts with hilka fortunately I went for the Bear after struggling with getting artifacts after like 3 hours of trying to get a single artifact
I apparently like struggling, it made the catch exciting 
ohh yeah I've seen it being mentioned (both here and in-game around campfires lol). Haven't seen one yet, excited to find one to replace my flytrap lol
same, this is why I always have my detector out when I am going across maps for quests. Some I just come by randomly this way.
yeah exactly, I genuinely love being sidetracked by my hilka beeping especially with its range
because of its range i think this debate between bear and hilka is pointless. use hilka to find out that there is an artifact nearby and bear to actually find it
exactly what I do
i just dunno if i can afford to run a Saiga on Veteran lmao.
i also need more leaded slots before i can use the thunderberry unless i swap it out for my Hypercube
i am about to pick up the Falcon suit when i reboot that is, game went to 3 fps.-.
or use only bear when you've memorized all the fields lol
i like to think i can, at least unless i gotta fight something like a Chimera
saiga is one thing I would splurge on even early game, or ram-2. armor, ar, don't care that much. but a good shotgun is so nice
do you have weird water?
Saiga is definitely nice, repairs aren't too bad either as long as you don't go overboard on upgrades
see that is my issue, i will do just that.
yeah just don't upgrade
i want them buffs boi
jusst switched from saiga to ram for first time. I was skeptical but so far I loove it
I'd get at least the one that gives you 100% improvement to damage falloff (forget which one), but it doesn't need too much else.
The thing people don’t get about the Ram is that it’s got such a tight spread, good range and it holds a lot of shells.
I know it cannot rapid fire
I especially like the Texan. That thing strong. But it’s only available so late in the game
It might have been changed in the latest patch (heard something about it, but can't confirm), but there used to be a dead body in the gas caves near truck cemetery which had not just the Ram2 on him, but also a kharod and a rhino. All slightly damaged, but still in green durability.
I would. That stamina is great.
yeah I also can't wait
I got some money but I might go and do some missions for STC first before I swap my armor around.
Killed 5 bandits from a misc mission with 1 grenade. Lovely
ooooooo so
i turned off gpu hardware acceleration stuff as it was touted as a way to fix stalker crashes
i also turned on resizeable rebar in bios as i did that
ive dropped about 20fps but it feels so much better too, i dont know what to think lol
ooo i figured out why i dropped fps - it disabled dlss frame generation (turning off gpu hardware acceleration)
so ill download the ultra plus FSR FG addon and that'll fix it, hype
and that gained me a good 30 fps lol
so ended out on top with a net gain for those changes, noice
Yo there was a chemera on a rails and he had to move his ah and now i cant leave the buildimg anymore since he hunt me down
Kill
Welp I need another USB for the leaded falcon container.
I dont have anything good to kill it i feel bad i didnt brought my rocket launcher 🙄
Then run! Good luck Stalker lol
Just run. There will actually be some other guys the chimera will distract to, if you just run away...
Got a Khalid to leave in the stash for a long while lol.
Imagine if the devs had made the Holemaker usable on its own like maybe as a sidearm
I made the run people and went back for my dropped weapons 😂
And escaped it twice
There’s one in priypiat
So, how do you get the achievement for running away from a Chimera?
looked it up on Google and tried running but couldn't get the achievement
That's called a shotgun
friendship with the Ward never started, Degtyarev and I are still ✨besties✨
Real
I got it in the swamps on that scripted emission where you go to the Clear Sky base. When it spawned, I just ran like hell to the base 🤣
same
I must have inspired some fear in the mutant, didn't even see it and never got the achievement
Had 160k and it basically all went into the Falcon suit.
Me too after fighting it and dying so much on it 
Dont u get that when you run from it in the swamps
Cohh got it from running away from the one close to sirca. So I guess anyone counts.
I was lucky i did get out the claws of the chemera but the emission at the swamps glitched for me a bit like it started everytime u run through that house but by me the third run the emission started when i was in that underground so i had a lucky delay
I aint start fighting it i prefer run like a psi and hold onto my ammo thats hella expensive 😆
Ya then I got the achievement to so I’m happy 😊
i think my game gave me the achievement mid combat with the swamp one
RAM-2 also has the problem of a slow reload.
You can fire 2 Saiga magazines in the time the RAM reloads 1...like, that's 24 shots compared to 14 for the DP-12.
Got it that way too

well I got the gooncube
Was walking 2 kilometers, only to get domed on arrival and have to restart it. (The game said I was in combat the whole time, nothing was around me, so i couldnt save)
Monolit snipers man why I’m at endgame it was one monolith and he one tapped me in yaniv
Those guass rifles are no joke 😭
He was using a lever action instead what gives? what are they guarding? That it’s an instint kill
Always a stupidly made decision to disallow saving in combat.
IDK why modern game developers do that when older games never had this moronic restriction.
that is all people look at when it comes to that gun though. it's all about what you can shoot how fast for a lot of people.
Yea, I think shooting faster = good for survival.
If you need to stop to reload, you're dead. The faster your reload, the better your survival.
people forget that when your gun does more damage, has a tigher spread so more shots on target, you don't always need to blast more shells that direction.
uh-oh, upgraded rog
also - side note
if anyone is getting crashes, and you use wemod, wemod may be the cause of the crashes, not the game, check event viewer application logs

I'm using a Saiga against the Monolith in the building. One-shot, one-kill.
Also, with the DP-12, you get 14 shots...then what? You spend 20 seconds reloading.
that one apartment where you go through the like 2 floors?
Spread on the Saiga is perfectly usable though.
because like the Ram will do the same thing.
IDK about 2 floors, but there's a hell lot of enemies. They all die to one shot, even on the body.
Again, 14 shots, 20-second reload compared to 12 with 5 seconds.
no, then you switch to your second Ram-2!
That's a skill issue. Imagine switching weapons in the middle of a fight rather than just reloading faster...
i know you're not shooting Exos then if they die in 1 body shot from a Saiga lol.
Yea, I'm not that far into the story yet, so...you know...
the Saiga nor the Ram-2 even the Texan, cannot 1 shot Diamond Exos in the body. only if hitting the head will it. at least when i did that using all 3 of them in Dec when basically every single enemy past a point had exos.
Well...just shoot in the head. 😏
what difficulty is a question that needs to be asked as player damage is nerfed as you go up, and enemy hp is buffed
then why are you the one saying it'll one shot to the body lol.
My gauss says other wise just use it
though i cannot remember what my saiga did to exos or what difficulty i was on lol
My ram-2 needs two shots to an exo body. is that fair?
are we sure it's both things? i think i tried looking after a list of what it did because there was one for the trilogy games but i couldn'¨t find anything when i did look.
How was I supposed to know you're talking about only exo-skeleton users?
You literally just preached about the DP-12 without saying you were fighting exo-skeletons.
there is a spreadsheet of scraped data on pastebin.io that suggests it - though it hasnt been updated so they could have changed some values since december
well i figured you were in like Prypiat at a building that has like 20 monolith and some of them should have exos lol.
They don't, actually...they're all normal ones.
well that sounds kinda bad
Um…I know this is of topic but…do you think the FT-200M is coming back? Maybe in a dlc area? Or a hidden side quest maybe?
That's not as bad as being unable to save during combat, so that when the game crashes, you have to repeat all the fights again because of this stupid decision.
like yeah fighting monolith where every single one of them is using Exos felt a little annoying but like, none of them have exos for you? are you really just not that deep into the story or did they mess up
maybe he used the uh, bug thing to get into pripyat early / or wemod teleportation
I found another diamond suit right now does that help?
i mean i am fine with not being able to save in combat but like, sometimes the game thinks you're in combat when you're not which is annoying.
i feel like i would rather have either a buffed RPM or an RPD than an FT-2000
I haven't done Azimuth Station yet.
True I just meant if players want it’s nostalgia
ive had that before too - turned out there was either an enemy bugged out somewhere, or underground beneath me in a cave and somehow knew i was there
I'm not fine with it; I've fought through the same area 20 times and each time, game randomly crashes, leading to doing fights over and over again.
Saving during combat is essential. Half-Life had it. STALKER trilogy had it. Doom had it. All the great games had it.
Modern games are just bad in this aspect.
that's my story mission on this second run i've been doing since the last update.
Right, that's the thing...I still haven't finished that, so I'm not 'far' into the story...Noontide is still Noontide as well.
I'm side-tracked by the simple desire of getting all the loot so I don't get side-tracked during actual missions.
And map is big...so, uh...
Squad owners must of bought GSC and made their new walking simulator 2.0 lmao
at least if you go to a hub in a region that has one, you can usually pay a guide to take you back.
Considering missions pay less than what you pay a guide for distances you'd need a guide for...
you mean the misc ones from like a barman or something?
the repeatable ones from the trilogy but with a severe cooldown lol.
basically in the beginning they don't really pay well like i ignored them because on Veteran this time, i wasn't sure it would even cover my repairs.
but it turns out that in later regions they pay much more like i got 7k coupons for killing uh 10 or so zombies. and those zombies were using decent guns too so i made a good bit of money from that.
i hate to keep suggesting this but change the difficulty to higher before you hand the mission in lol more money
They really need to change that lol
they let you increase it? weird.
Since you need tens of thousands for upgrades, so 7000 is nothing, honestly.
it works for everything last i heard - ive never had to use it myself because of wemod, but apparently works for trader prices for buying/selling, upgrades, repairs, etc. everything
well no 7k is not a lot when some upgrades on like my armor is 23k but it helps with whatever else i get.
repairing like 20% of my armor is prolly going to cost me more than 7k
Exactly, which makes 7000 kind of nothing.
how to put it
diablo iv was the same too, you could change difficulty before handing things in to get more experience
it's 7k extra for killing things, that also give me things i can flip for coupons too if they're not just mutants.
Now only if they allowed saving in combat, I could actually finish the Monolith hide-out... 😡
Pretty sure you're still limited by how much you can carry.
In a large firefight with 20+ guns and other things, you're not carrying everything back. Plus the money lost from any damaged items.
i mean yeah but at the same time, i can carry a lot because i use an artifact that gives me 40kg extra and my suit has been upgraded to add another 8kg on top so my max is like 132 now and then i have another artifact that gives me 9 but the hard cap is 140kg so i hit that.
Time to make hundreds of trips just to sell your things... 😏
i did that even on Stalker difficulty lmao
at least this time i got the artifact earlier so i've been cutting down on my runs
Anyone ever boundry break to explore areas one is not supposed to looking to do it myself
Still, 140 KG maximum... 😔
anyone know where i can get a saved game of clear sky AFTER the great swamps?
yeah i can't remember if there was a cap in the trilogy.
i think i remember some of the artifacts in one of them for weight being like 30kg or something.
There was a carry weight cap in the trilogy

That's why, for weight, I just prefer a trainer. Carry everything, make a single trip to trader.
idk what you mean by trainer here
wemod - cheat app, called trainers
as i said above wemod has been crashing my game tho - i reported it on their forums
I just use FLiNG's...no need for WeMod.
anyone else still have ram issues during cinemtic stories. Just talked to strelok and stepped into capsule to talk to dead strider and my pc was going to explode. thought they fixed all this already
the stalker wemod trainer is made by fling lol its the same one
Yea, but I'm saying that I only use the trainer, not the WeMod program.
wemod are just bundled trainers really, made my diff cheatdevs
yes but wemod also doesnt crash me out on other games, only stalker
So its directly related to flings stalker cheat
whether its the cheats itself or how they application interacts with them, i dont know, but i reported it anyway so fling will see it
im distracted so i said cyberpunk not stalker lol
Guess my older version of the game works so far (unless the crashes at the Monolith hide-out were caused by that).
And don't worry, I'm distracted too; the Enerhetyk doors are locked to me and I can't get any trading there.
you mean the frames absolutely dying?
easy way to check, windows key, type event viewer, hit application, filter by errors
yeah
no that still happens. we've only gotten like 1 actual update i think since Dec?
the game still has a whole lot of these issues like i gotta restart my game several times a day it feels because my frames just die.
ughh. theres been 2 patches saying its been fixed i guess not all of it
i believe the patches said they fixed some but if there's 117 issues causing the same thing then it's still an issue lol.
i usually get it in the hubs in the regions
helps to lower shadow/shadow quality to medium if you don't know that yet. turned everything back to ultra cuz i thought it was old news lol
coz otherwise combat would be too easy. Also, I imagine reloading in the middle of combat could make NPCs confused, and make combat even easier
but it also can happen in the open, super annoying. i also just hate how the game looks when it happens lol like it gets all blurry and things T pose and teleport around and stuff.
i cant even alt enter or ctrl alt del to get out idk why this is the only game that breaks windows commands. have to sign out, only fix
maybe one day..... lol
no it's not essential? literally never felt the need to, unless skill issue
dude this happened to me today for the first time
unless we're talking about crashes but then the solution is to fix bugs, not to allow to save in combat
it drove me crazy cause my settings are nearly always epic everything and its never happened until today
that sounds like a different issue then. like i can just alt tab then close the game when it happens on my end.
4080 super w/7800x3d and have to lower my shadow settings to med/high again...
ill do the same, 4070 ti super
I think it was 3. 2 small and 1 really huge (1.2)
i should prolly think about lowering my settings to see if it would help my frame rate because it's all over the place
anyway the amount of updates doesn't mean much. they could split 1.2 update into 10 smaller patches. that wouldn't change anything
problem with stalker is I think they didn't optimize too much for low settings... like when you lower settings, the fps doesn't change that much... and also game looks almost the same too lol, which I guess is nice it's always pretty but yeah I think they failed at this aspect
ya it helps alot. just those two. theres another like LOD? forget atm but it def works. mess with those 3 bring them down 1 each time until your happy
didnt play with the newest update yet, so did that update do any good did it fix anything ?
so the only way to gain real framerates, at least to me, is tinkering with DLSS & framegen settings, or whatever *ss you're using
no, they make update that didn't fix anything. It's literally empty. The patch notes have no text. It was a prank
when i first started the game it set itself to all Epic settings so i thought it could handle that but like it feels messy
and idk anything about all those other settings
but yeah idk when you last played but 1.2 is a huge update with a lot of changes
many bugs fixed, some gameplay changes (like on the map), some a-life fixes (npcs now loot bodies)
just turn down the 2 shadow settings a bit
just enable fps counter and tell us what you see
i have the small steam one on in the upper left corner when i play and it's all over the place lol.
anwhere between sub 20 to 60 sometimes.
they did fix alot its ALOT better. rostok is fixed, alot of missions are fixed just still some cinematic/ mian storyline issues but its improved alot i will say. Just ran into a few issues today
it bothers me in a way, just how much it fluctuates.
sub 20 sounds bad. what's your hardware?
i didnt play for a whole month. dont want to play till the game will be playable for me
before i started my new run with the update the 13th, i hadn't played since Dec 26
like a 3070 and stuff idk
what about crashing mate? did it stop to crash so often? and what about npcs spawning the same way every 10minutes or so, did they fix that?
like i've played other games on the pc that didn't run so badly but like i prolly can't just compare them in this regard anyway.
Literally explained why.
And no, saving doesn't make combat easy. It's up to the player what's 'easy/difficult' for them.
No crashes for me just cinematic vids are like 5fps on later missions with all settings on ultra quality
Crashes should be fixed, then won't need saves. Honestly I have 120+ hours and I had like 2-3 crashes when the game just came out, and since then I never had crashes except memory leak on rostok (not a crash tho, had to kill the game myself lol)
for me it never crashed often. I think it's a hardware issue. Maybe lack of vram?
idk i feel like if say enemies would, reset if you did load a save mid combat which would give you a little time to shoot them before they draw their gun again, that just sounds like it's not fair.
rostok has been fixed that was a big one
I can count on 1 hand still how many times this game has crashed since i got it on release its 5. Usually its a rendering error.
Yeah that's really nice
and i feel like that is how it would work if they did let us save literally mid combat.
my 3070 haves only 8gb so definitelly could be. but the issue is that it doesnt matter what graphical settings i play with it still crashes a lot and that shouldnt be happening 🙂
fixed how? lol, my game still drops to 5 fps in Rostok
how so?
Sounds like a hardware issue
It's not about fps. There was issue with a memory leak and the game would freeze. Mostly when you open chest I think

whaaat really?
Yeah it's definitely not well optimized for low end hardware. I don't see much difference in fps when going from epic to low lol, they should've worked more on that
i wouldn't exactly know how to tell the issue apart.
well we gotta give it to um, i mean they were invaded by russia..... made a game during a war.
i just know that if my game can run at 60 in some places is SHOULD be able to be more consistent in frames but it is not, no?
lmao 3070 is not low end hardware. i paid 650-700 eur for it just couple of years ago lol
Rostok is more demanding of a location than Rookie Village for example
More NPC's and buildings to render
it also happens a lot at places like Cement Factory and Yaniv.
you can try geforce now ultimate subscription, it's like €24 a month and you get a 4080. I have almost no crashes
i wonder if something happened recent update cuz everything was fine until i got on past few days. fps drops happening again. havent been to rostok yet might go back and check it out perf. there
but what i don't get is when it happens out in the open. like there just doesn't feel like there's a reason for it to happen there
or you can just complain and ignore all proposed solutions and continue suffering, looks like this is what you prefer
ya thats super weird ive never has drops out in the open. like ever
i've not even had this pc for 2 years yet. it's been running other games just fine i feel albeit i haven't played a whole lot of things on here yet.
the reason the a-life was so awful in the beginning coz it was creating perf issue so they really nerfed it. Now they bring back a-life... but it worsens performance
ya S2 needs work we all know it lol
the game factually, was not ready to be released.
true
feel like all games recently have been TERRIBLE on release like what the hell everyone doing lol
KCD2 has been good
i hope this new trend will end sooner or later
Ofcourse tarkov is n prob always will be my #1
still feel like it was better launch then a certain other game i also love
cyberpunk?
yeah
hehe yaaa guessed that one. its good now tho thats what matters most i guess
of course it was lmao
Reason: Bad word usage
had the same title in my head, not a hard one to guess lol
Even the bot is inconsistent with that.
I kept joking how when stalker 2 came out it was bye bye tarkov but its remains installed and played nothing scratches that itch apprently
give the game a year,they already did a patch with over 1k fixes
Message was about how I enjoy the game when it works.
my fps is fine but the constant crashing is killing me
But a lot of the time it feels like it doesn’t work.
its SO good. Love it
its never crashing for me but sometimes massive fps drops from 70-80 in camps down to 5,needs alot of fixing
120 outside camps
Break from S2 again think i might try to delta campaign if its free. multi is tras htho
I’m annoyed with how they practically lied about the state of the game when they said it had gone gold only to come out feeling like an early access cashgrab playing off an ip.
ill keep playing it on gamepass anyways till they fix all the bugs and get a new graphics card to max out everything
that's such an exaggaration... cashgrab off an ip
Like full stop. They KNEW. Always did.
yeah i dont know why companies thinks its a great idea to lie or not to be transparent with fans, its always bad idea
They all do that shit now its BS
Frankly it didn’t feel like it on launch.
kingdom come deliverence 2 launch was a W
It didn't feel like it? They why do you describe like this?
i still dont get it why so many compared this game with stalker
I guess coz they're also slavic lol
Honestly the fact they’re giving numbers for how many things they’re fixing but the numbers are as large as they are just feels more telling about the state of the game to me.
Same launch cycle, open world, smaller studios
what an amazing argument. Let's keep those numbers lower lol
I see #☢┃stalker-general is back to its roots of whining
Real
it was made in Prague also,close to where the stalker 2 developers moved to finish the game after 2022
Like I know Bethesda doesn’t do that so like I have nothing to compare the numbers to but like 2 of the updates stated like 1200 bugs were fixed, together it’s like 3000 and that just sounds bad to me that there is so much to even fix.
you guys check out the mirage anomaly in red forest gotta take the river path to get there bring Psi protection cool spot to visit
someone here who is close to Ukraine?
why the question?
just wondering
"close" is a relative term lol. do you mean geographically?
yes
I am from Ukraine but not living there since the war started
ah thats nice,must be feeling nice to play the game in the original language
So…your a retired stalker?
a stalker always moves,never retires
Dang, that must be terrible.
Yeah it is haha
I hope everything gets better mate.
Not if you compare it to people dying on the front lines. So I am never complaining lol. Thanks bud
I guess so.
Ah true very true
I guess lol. Even visited chornobyl zone irl while I could
I really wanted to visit the cnpp before these terrible current events I hope one day I can
Ah nice…so…what artifacts did ya fined? Was it old or very new ones we don’t see ingame?
I liked the trilogy a lot, didn't get used to it at first but then when I played other games, I was literally trying to press x to run.
cant a stalker be Romanian too? 😦
I think this might never happen tbh. There was action there. There are mines. Removing mines is not easy, imagine in a radioactive zone
Ya sure buddy no problem with that your good 👍
Not to mention the fact that the containment operation is still ongoing.
Stalkers are international 
heh, not many artifacts, but my favorite part was looking at prypiat from a rooftop, and also duga
real
Yeah true those little plastic leafs are haunting
Yes, seriously, radiation takes a century to dissipate completely.
It doesn't dissipate completely, it just shows down over time
i really want to stir the pot right now lol
Oh, okay.
Or smoke it 
Ah nice oh we’re you careful of monolith snipers when looking at it?..and how’s the Durga now? last time I checked it’s still destroyed.
It depends on the element. Some elements have half-life of tens of years. Some have half-life of thousands... But honestly the zone (at least before the war) was pretty safe. Like there are some dirty patches that are well known. Overall it's safe
dont have any to smoke - sober for like three days now, no one has any lol
We are joining the Freedom with this one!
Hmm a good bowl sounds nice the dispensary is closed rn
imagine, there were people that actually climbed on top of duga (same as we "climb" with faust in the subtle matter world)
I think one of such climbers fell and died. But not sure
Hey messer did ya at least snag a Gauss rifle? and how was it? Was it as powerful as the game. Or was it broken?
in aus medicinal are only in chemists and only the ones that choose to stock it, and it always sends from over east, so if i order it right now, it wont be sent until monday cause no post on weekends
then it wont get here until wednesday or thursday, probably thursday
Oh damn ya but what was the Duga anyway?
it was a huge radar built during cold war to detect rockets everywhere in the world, even as far as in americas
I am pretty sure Stalker 2 will get better as time goes on.
funny thing is it never worked. but was really loud on a certain radio frequency. there's a movie about it
Ah no wonder monos used it…it was perfect for radio waves
Oh it certainly will, it already got much better. Release was mixed but they are moving really fast
Ah, yes, that's how Quartet got merked.
Yeah, that's for sure, many bugs got fixed.
Did ya beat monolith with a Gauss rifle? And how powerful was it? Did it work?
lol, didn't get my hands on one unfortunately
Damn it’s really great
You know
I liked Scar until he clowned on my boy Strider

Then he kinda became an opp
There's nothing unfair about that...
Saving during combat = respecting the player's time, so they can save when they want and cater to their own life rather than waste time doing a fight over and over again, whether because they have trouble with skills or the game crashed or they had an emergency or whatever.
Being able to save in the middle of combat is practical. Having to fight 20 enemies over and over and over because you were close to death and had trouble dealing with the final enemy is stupid as shit because it wastes time that you could spend into progressing further into the game rather than be stuck where you are because someone else decided what was good for you.
But anyways, I'll just try to find a modification for S2/Unreal.
oooo let me know if you find one im curious to see if my theory as to why they don't allow you to quick save during certain events and combat is scripting errors
I doubt I'll find anything...but if I do, I'll let you know.
Have the crashing issues been fixed since december?
what's your gpu, how much vram?
ppl with 8 gb still have lots of crashes, me personally have no crashes at all
I have a 4060ti and 8gbs
well you can always try
Apparently, nothing on Nexus...as expected, but not hoped. I'd hoped there'd be something like 'Gameplay Tweaks' that exists for Horizon: Zero Dawn that enables a Half-Life-like save-system, but nothing so far for S2.
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods?BH=0
If you refine the search to include 'save', all you'll get is crappy save-files.
dang
At least one useful thing exists, in that there's a modification to remove the 31-save limits...and that's actually a good thing, but apart from that...nothing to force-enable saves in combat.
Shame, honestly.
I mean we're still really early for the mods
gonna have a lot more stuff probably
Hopefully...since saving = core part of the game, after all.
Actually, there's this Reddit thread that force-loads a previous save (I got soft-locked during opening the PDA):
https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gy7bdr/stalker_2_this_save_was_created_in_a_dlc_that_is/
Maybe, there's console commands to force-save during combat?
But I can only find console commands for item and quest IDs...not for general engine stuff.
UETools console commands have an XTriggerAutoSave...that might be useful to force the game to stop being crippled over saving and start behaving normally. Pretty sure it's an internal one rather than something UETools might add, but still.
so slightly off topic but man i would ruin a kfc bucket right now
RUIN. RUIN IT. like it never bloody existed in the first place bois
my car also cannot get through the KFC drive through cause of the speed bump so alas, its a wasted dream
Faust and Strelok would know what I mean about wasted dreams
Sweet seems like you're on to something there. Side bar I had an issue where the pda wouldn't open until I pause and unpaused the game, for reason I could not discern. Appears to be fixed now GSC do be putting in loads of work I hope it pays off well.
Well, I'm on an old version, so might be due to that in my case, but XForceLoadSave should work to reload the game and resolve issues either ways.
And glad your issue got sorted out.
how much was weird water nerfed?
Not sure about the weight aspect of that artifact, but the rad protection really got nerfed.
Previously you could just sit in radioactive water without getting any damage
I still run it with 2 max rad arts???
Weight aspect is the same as it was, but it's no longer an OP god tier anti rad artifact.
Like I started the game before 1.2, and got it before. But I'd assume it would change stats in my inventory after update
how much is it not OP? gimme numbers
how many max rad arts is it now?
It did on mine at least, no longer counters 1 max rad artifact. Think it might counter a weak or medium rad.
oh wow really? maybe my game is bugged because I never took it off lol. Just always run with it
maybe the moment I take it off and put it back, it will be nerfed now
If you never took it off, that might be why yeah.
lol
not gonna check for now.... lol
don't lol I think you're lucky
weird water reduces radiation by 10% but once your weight goes above 55kg you get 30% drunkeness affect
Thats its current stats
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L6jBHJtw8AZrJZmOiFekiS2YVudHS3rQVGQN-oOaNMk/edit?gid=101640715#gid=101640715
Liquid Stone is still the best anti-rad artifact, found in chemical anomalies and gives an 80% radiation bonus
80%? I don't understand these numbers
if weird water has medium radio protection, and that's 10%
then I guess strong protection would be twice, 20%
and maximum would be 40%, but it's 80%? I guess maximum is just much stronger than strong
i think its basically saying how much it reduces it by - but ive no idea how he came up with the numbers
be good if dude was in the discord lol who goes through all that effort and isnt in here to talk
I have that liquid rock and weird water with me, I don't really notice that much of rad protection tbh. Could also just be me, idk.
'Weird Water artefact nerfed from 15% radiation reduction to 10%'
13/02/2025
wait no, I checked table, it's not like this
weak is 20%, medium is 40%, strong is 60%, maximum is 80%
so weird water is weak now???? man that's crazy
ya so we were reading it right - the % is damage reduction from source listed
well it wasn't 15%. More like 500%. I don't get these numbers
f in the chat for weird water he was a real one
god knows
i know dude manually tests it though, i remember it being said on earlier versions
Like the weapons hes gone and shot every enemy in the game with each weapon, with each ammo type, to distinguish stats
this is why datamine info always better
Weird water is like 5 Liquid rock
About to reach... 72 hours total
Mass Effect Ultimate Edition which was all 3 M.E Games took me a grand total of 81.

you think a 10% reduction to radiation damage is like 5 liquid rock / liquid stone? cant say ive tested it myself, i personally like not using any artifacts
it used to have a higher rad reduction but that was fixed
i can run into the high radiation area, get radiated, run back out, back to normal. That's how strong Weird water was
yeah so it used to be 5 liquid rock equals 1 weird water, now it isnt lol
oh ye, i have weird water but i haven't gotten a single radiation
i wanna suggest that maybe it'll change with a new game? i can get in and spawn it and see ig, but i also cant be bothered lol
here's an easy way to test weird water
Grab 4 artifacts that have max radiation, and then use 1 weird water
i remember hearing you needed a new game for the last patch - but thats not in the notes so iunno where that idea came from
Meanwhile my game has given my liquid rock meth
Running around with only one liquid rock and 4 max rad artifacts, not a tick of radiation
I think it might have unintentionally been 15 rather than 15% before, and if it was 15 bars, that would be like 300% (if 5 bars is 100%).
i also notice that, STRONG radiation protection = MAX radiation
its literally in the stalker patch notes it got nerfed like 5 days ago lol
it no longer makes you immune - sure, yours might but its either bugged or your stuff hasnt changed since the patch cause its an old save, bet
damnit lemme open the game lol
i did notice that, every patch, if you want to fully test it, you need to start over
Probably an intentional thing so peoples Saves don’t go absolutely berserk
well, that's a bit of a waste
man i deleted the mod to spawn artifacts
i am not hunting that down lol
??? I’m using two thunder berries, a compass and a hypercube how the hell is that a waste
oh i thought you ran 4 liquid rock from how you said it
my dumbass brain
there used to be a save on nexus, at the first village but your stash had every gun and armor and artifact
in the notes on nexus it said, 'should never need to be updated'
i wonder if he knows hes wrong yet lol it still hasnt been updated 😂
Nah, any copy artifacts either get sold or go into the Box for a collection
I’ve found that any mod or save that says ‘never needs updating’ don’t understand how drastically patches can change things
Your save from 1.0 is going to be violently different to one in game version 1.5 or 2.0
tbf i went through the stalker 2 steam patch notes and NOWHERE do they inform people of that
Another thing: I am violently disappointed both Duty exosuits can’t sprint
which is kind of silly cause then its up to people that do know to tell everyone else
yeah every suit should have a sprint upgrade tbh
i'd even support the basic level suit having sprint by default but having drawbacks to compensate
Update the cuirass into a similar thing to the Liberty, make the Shield of Duty the counter part to the Bulwark, boom
'utility exo'
can sprint but is not made for combat at all, maybe higher carry weight and sprint by default, but low protection
then a similar combat exo but sprint as an upgrade at the end of the tree - low weight bonus but more physical focused
Also, give me gear based on the Corps.
that'd be cool
Even if it’s a reskinned Wolfhound style, falcon needs some competition in its group
And request for the FAR future after the dust of the fixing patches settles: Let Skif use other pistols in cutscenes
I understand it’s HIS GUN but it’s hilarious to me he’ll put down a .45 pistol or better 9x18 to use his Makarov
i dont think its that simple, they motion captured the scenes with the PM and i dont think the scenes would look right with other guns
it would be funny
It’s why I said far future, it would be a cool addition when a DLC drops
Give me an IPSF military exo suit
Agreed, we need more IPSF gear
Also I regret writing off gear with less slots in my second playthrough eons ago , military gear with a compass, liquid rock and hyper cube is really fun
are you all also get Low FPS in SIRCAA
whenever i enter SIRCAA it becomes 5 fps from 60
but if i do DLSS Quality it becomes normal
🪲
i had that happen pretty much in all regions' main hubs.
Hm found a fully broken APSB, wonder if I should repair it for use. It’s just going to be more expensive to run than my UDP. 🤔
Its exceptionally good a gun for a sidearm, but it degrades quickly, so yeah it probably will end up more expensive
It's super expensive to run. It's silenced, shoots a lot of bullets, degrades quickly. And is expensive on its own
Also, between malachite / duga there's a fun spatial anomaly puzzle where you can get apsb in good condition
that really is my concern yeah, i am playing on Veteran so everything is more expensive i think.
If you don't upgrade it to high hell its probably not gonna be obnoxious, but it also depends on just how much you use your sidearm
it's only suppressed if you add a suppressor, i genuinely do not understand why the description says it's silenced when it's not.
Probably originally planned to have an integral, but they changed it late into the development cycle an didnt update description
lately i've been using a UDP because it's still good enough for bandits and zombies. then i've put the Rhino in my first long gun slot and i have a Buket in the other.
but i am saving up to kit out the Ram i got yesterday.
Now that is gonna get expensive very quickly
I keep seeing ppl talk about the Buket. Looks shit, but ppl still use it. Why?
Because its kinda cracked in vanilla balancing and very cheap to run
Wait till he discovers the Kharod or Dnipro
Nah seriously, some of the SMG's out-perform the rifles
Its one of the reasons I use mods to change how the balancing of weapons is done lol
Ah, the ppsh of the Zone
P'much
It's a shit show
Oh myb, yeah they're both not cheap either, misread reply
It is not great for sure, but Better Ballistics exists and that mod is S tier, along with OXA for more attachment variety between weapons
I love being able to put Sotnyk's scope on other weapons
I'll keep that in mind when the console mods drop
Is there something that affects the npc's aimbot and their overall behaviour in combat?
i know but i want something for mutants that doesn't have me running from snorks because i already shot my 6 shots off in the Rhino lmao
Ye a few of them actually
Thats totally fair yeah
That's good, this game neeeeds it BADLY
i can't hit my shots reliably with the Rhino to make that work out lol.
PC or console?
PC
Download OXA then, lets you put better sights on Rhino, so you'll invariably hit more shots
my frame rate fluctuates a lot, makes it hard to follow targets sometime.
Understandable, if the frames drop then input lag goes up out the wazoo
i just take the 2x off sometimes because the irons pretty usable.
Yeee, irons are pretty good in this game
literally my frames will be anywhere between 20 and 60.
Sounds about right lol
Usually im lucky an get a stable 60, but sometimes the game just shidds its pants an it drops way down
When the PC barely scratches 'recommended' specs
only thing i can think is lacking in my pc is the CPU as it's only an I5.
and while my 3070 could have more VRAM, it's still listed under the recommended specs.
is there a place to report bugs here i have footage as well

is it possible to get diabetes from the amount of energy drink skif drinks every mission
they are prolly 0 calories so he's just disrupting his gut & metabolic health with all the artificial sweeteners

Yo fellas
We all doing ok here in https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1308034374473617459

Ya I’m doing fine right now

ive got a splinter in my eye lid and i want to kms
Damn I hate when that happens
i mean an actual wooden splinter though 🤣
Ouch
Spoon to the eye is the only cure
Oh crap! Really!? Hope your eyes doing ok
Boil it in some soup
my eye is fine its just in the lid
its super annoying tryna get it out lol
Nice Doggo
I had an incident with my nose ring earlier but it's not strictly sfw so I'll leave that one to imagination
i was splitting logs that ive had for ages and were wayyy to dry they just splintered as soon as i hit it 🤣
Your welcome…wait really!? When?
couple wipes ago maybe
Crucible? Or raids? Maybe dungeon?
first wipe with snow i think it was, if thats your tarkov name, seems familiar
I don’t have Tarkov i wishlist it but that’s about it
yeah nah you do though
I’m predalien or dark commando X
huh?
Only on d2 I have those names
If it was tarkov it be either Ben torrenz of something else
nah D2 is the name of the bunker in tarkov where you killed me
But I don’t play tarkov…so someone has my name!? Tha fuck!?
yeah nah you played tarkov during the first wipe with snow and you killed me in D2 remember?
Plus I suck at fighting pvp I’m not a pro I’m literally the first to die
yeah nah you were just ratting in the dark, i never seen you
Just because my schizophrenia and a.d.d makes me forget I always remember a friend
wait you actually dont remember?
I never played tarkov I would remember if I played it
Here I’ll show you proof
yeah nah you did bro thats why you're called ratking lord of the scavs no? thats a tarkov name
Hold on I have proof I never bought the game but I wishlist it…but if someone took my name there will be hell to pay!
Reason: Bad word usage
nah its def you bro you wouldn't call yourself that name if you didn't play tarkov the name has 2 tarkov references in it lol
Is tarkov on pc? I don’t see it only arena
