[sharp gulch]

actually i saw some spawns while at hubs, those are usually really annoying cuz it also reminds you the somewhat gimped alife system

[hot basin]

Anyone have the best controller settings on the latest patch?

[oblique tapir]

Malacites main map marker is gone now, is that normal?

[unreal basin]

I just have to ask, why did they add grav anomalies to the controller cave in Cordon?

[west shadow]

Hey folks, am i seeing this right?
the SDK is about 620GB?

[cobalt haven]

I just reinstalled it from scratch

[dreamy forge]

No your eyes are absolutely lying to you

[primal nimbus]

Please keep the dead flying enemy stalkers anomaly. Its funny and reminds me of CS2’s bug of rag dolled enemies.

[winged agate]

yeah

[shrewd kindle]

Chornobyl space program

[reef ridge]

Anyone else having a problem with the three line rifle not swapping ammo types?

[primal nimbus]

Haven’t tried swapping the ammo. Then again, I also purchased the armor piercing upgrade soooooo

[reef ridge]

That's fair

[primal nimbus]

Has anyone tested how many mosin shots it’d take to kill a chimera?

[winged agate]

where can i find one?

[neon snow]

Why do emissions have to be scripted

[violet dune]

anyone have issue with super dark rooms? even in a day time

[neon snow]

Thats just a problem with the engine they use

[weary hedge]

I’m so excited for mutant looting

Like actually so cool

[violet dune]

u can only loot every 5th mutant or so

[weary hedge]

Still

Now I have a bit of a reason to shoot them down

[neon snow]

You can loot every big mission mutant

Like the head horn

[oblique tapir]

I got 2 in a row with some boar

[violet dune]

i killed 5-6 flesh and couldnt loot it

its RNG

smallest one i looted was rodent.

[oblique tapir]

Not the best rng. Ive killed 2 packs of dogs, and only got loot once

[shell flax]

I have a theory that the higher tier the mutant, the more likely you can loot it

[neon snow]

Thats the most likely case

I would like it more if you could loot all of them but some just didn’t have anything good

[violet dune]

the mosin feels really nice. sadly no much ammo in early game

[oblique tapir]

Just killed a pack of snorks. Nothing :(

[violet dune]

yea. this should be addressed and increased chance of mutant loot. its not like u sell parts for thousand of coupons

[shell flax]

Special orders you can

Like, huge amounts

[weary hedge]

Still cool, hope we get more cool small content and feature updates like this

[violet dune]

i notice bandits chilling more often at some random campfire

was nice experience to sneak in and kill 1by1

[cerulean socket]

Man, muzzle flash is NEEDED. Fighting in the dark is unreasonably difficult

[bleak moth]

Yo. Someone could mod different flashlights in the game now. Like LED and battery life mechanics now.

[violet dune]

its exist

[edgy shell]

Sounds right. Killed a pseudo giant and a moose, both gave me something. 3 bloodsuckers, nothing. 5 boars, looted 2. 10 rodents, 1.

I like that though. It’s not guaranteed to give you more than you spent. It’s a risk, so avoidance is viable but you can risk going after them if you want

[violet dune]

also even if its possible to sneak, but its still weird

they still can see through bushes at night

[edgy shell]

The alert sounds help but yeah it does suck when they spawn with instant aggro

[violet dune]

also do AI respond in flashlight? feels like no

[shell flax]

I like to see it as the part of value gets too shredded in the fight

[bleak moth]

Avoid the top of the cement factory south of the reactor silos. It’s a lot instant crash

[shrewd kindle]

Someone told me they do a while back but personally I haven’t noticed any difference with it on or off, they see me if they face me

[bleak moth]

I checked the mods and I didn’t see it. Theirs like 7 mods available on Xbox

[violet dune]

oh you need to wait for xbox

[bleak moth]

Xbox has mods. CJ bloodsuckers in scary. Like walking in New York at night

[violet dune]

same. i sneaked with flashlight on and AI didnt got alerted and other time in pitch black they see u. a bit annoying

also what i notice. no more foliage shimmering.

[oblique tapir]

Hey a guy named ||stets leech|| asked me for help. I found where he was at, but i cant interact with him

[edgy shell]

I guess

I just see it as more effort = better reward but that could be an in universe explanation if you want it

[primal nimbus]

Still gonna hunt

[oblique tapir]

He is on the floor, like i need to heal him, but i cant do anything about it.

[boreal wasp]

whats the state of the new alife is it worth playing again for

[untold wagon]

new update is great so far. not a fan of mods disabling achievements tho

[next lava]

anyone else's game unplayable on pc

im getting like 10 fps on low at 1080p

with a 4060 TI 8GB

and 32GB of ram

as well as an i7-14700k

[molten nacelle]

Is they're more mods on xbox now then the 5 this morning?

[next lava]

it went from 6 to 7 pages

[vapid harbor]

Been a while since I played. Just made a new game. I can’t figure out the mutant looting. Is there something I need to do first?

[oblique tapir]

No

[sturdy relic]

Thinking to do the same, what about game performance right now?

[oblique tapir]

I have an ok pc, and it runs well enough

[languid sky]

Ok hear me out 😤🙏 with the new a-life system if you leave a single enemy alive in your fight he can still live in the world so you can have the chance to meet him again, what if when you meet up again the ai knows its you and you have new dialog for them

[weary hedge]

whats your specs

[oblique tapir]

Enemies can live?

[oblique tapir]

Its like a computer, and stuff

[languid sky]

How else could they tell the stories of the ghost of kyiv

[sturdy relic]

I have alienware laptop with rtx 3070, so not much 😅 I remember from last november fighting with the fps always

[sly smelt]

That's crazy

[oblique tapir]

I don’t remember, and i don’t feel like looking

[languid sky]

How much of a performance boost will i get with this game when switching from a 4070 to a 5060?

[oak junco]

You'd actually lose fps

[oblique tapir]

Your pc will be vaporized

Then explode

[oak junco]

xx60 cards are weaker unless you're getting a 5060 ti i wouldn't bother going with a xx60 card

[worldly wigeon]

Anyone fine a scopeless three line rifle yet

[oak junco]

Even then on average 5060ti is 10% slower then 4070 at 1440p

[oblique tapir]

Can you not just remove the scope?

[oak junco]

Why are people not calling it a mosin? Because its russian ?

[oblique tapir]

I thought the name mosin came from russia?

[oak junco]

It did im just seeing a ton of folks call it three line rifle never seen it called that before today

[river chasm]

It's just the in game name for it, like how they have their own names for every gun

[oak junco]

Ah fair never seen it in game yet

[stray stump]

Where can I report a bug? In this side quest “In the name of science” everytime I’m fighting the second mutant to get the collar I crash mid fight

[oblique tapir]

Which mutant? The big guy?

[stray stump]

Yes!

[stray stump]

With the big feet 🦶🏻 lol

[oblique tapir]

That guy just causes performance issues for some reason

[oak junco]

Pseudogiant

[stray stump]

Been playing the last 3 days perfectly fine, heard about the update, then saw one @ the quest,so I saved my game right before fighting him and now all the time it just crashes, especially when I’m about to kill him,

[oblique tapir]

Maybe go somewheres else for a bit, and come back to it later. Sometimes leavening the area can fix something that loaded improperly

I encountered a place that did the same thing for me, and quick saving and running away fixed it.

I haven’t gone back there yet

[stray stump]

This is what I’m doing currently, just said screw it and left the area, if it crashed again randomly I was going to reinstall,

I’m also not seeing the mod browser in my game either, didn’t know if that’s a bug or not

I installed the update fine,

[echo nimbus]

does anyone know the stalker board game will be in retail? i want to buy the expansions but i obv can't rn

[latent pasture]

I see a white dot on the mutants but no prompt to loot them, anyone having the same issue?

[chrome gazelle]

can someone please make a mod stalker 2 the increase carry weight

[latent pasture]

It already exists, look on nexusmods

[chrome gazelle]

how do I get on xbox then

[latent pasture]

Don't know if u can install mods on xbox ngl

[chrome gazelle]

the have mods now

[tall roost]

is this where I can do the runaway thing..

[faint canopy]

Yes but mods on xbox are only 5

Available atm

[still edge]

once alife is completely done , i hope they can just copypaste the code to the next stalker game , is that possible ?

[coarse wharf]

i still have unplayable ghosting and weird lighting since february/march update

no mods. didn't have this on release. have tweaked all settings and nothing changes

worst on interior spaces

[valid steeple]

If anybody’s looking for the new custom pistol, try, looking in the burn forest, near the Swinery

[sharp narwhal]

Does anyone know how to re-enable achievements with mods installed with the new 1.5 update? If you have mods installed and the new update, the game warns you that achievements will be disabled. I'm on gamepass if that matters

[primal nimbus]

Never tried mods on console. How do I do that?

[molten nacelle]

Mod browser in the main menu. It's not worth it only 5 mods on the workshop

[primal nimbus]

What mods we looking at? At work atm

[molten nacelle]

A cj blood sucker replacer. Hello kitty skin for the 308 sniper. I can't think of the others I'll have to look again.

[primal nimbus]

Reskin the Kharod to be the ACR lol
-# Idk how to make a mod

[molten nacelle]

Same lol I'm just waiting for modern gear replacer and nvg mod

[shrewd kindle]

I’m waiting for a Xbox weapon rebalance mod to make it more like clear sky and COP, wanna be able to go through the whole game using a crappy AK that I upgrade

[primal nimbus]

Same with the HK416

[shrewd kindle]

I love the 416, one of my favorite guns in most games, but it feels weird rocking it in the zone lol

[sharp narwhal]

Not sure about console. I'm on PC

[primal nimbus]

Weird that it’s underwhelming to an extent. Cluster mad carries the HK416s

[shrewd kindle]

I prefer the vintar if I’m using a dmr for the style points alone lol

VSS has my heart

[primal nimbus]

I use the SVU for dmrs yet I’m running around with a Mosin, 1911, and the Fora now

[mortal crane]

Is A-life back?

[primal nimbus]

@mortal crane

[mortal crane]

So is it like the old titles now (gamma) or still missing features. Sorry not expert about it but I really enjoyed how it was in the older titles.

[neon snow]

Who do I sell animal parts to?

[primal nimbus]

Beard, Birch, and Vicky from Malachite (all I know so far).

[spiral cobalt]

Reinstalling from scratch doesn't always work, because steam sometimes will keep your mods in the game folder

[primal nimbus]

Honestly expected the Mosin to not come with a scope. Wish for ironsight mosin

[echo nimbus]

does anyone know where the modding menu is in stalker 2? (or is that not added yet idk)

[spiral cobalt]

just launched the game on my xbox and all the npcs are purple LOL

[spiral cobalt]

Its only on the console version I believe

[spiral cobalt]

I agree I hate the scope on the new rifle

[echo nimbus]

ooh i see

[spiral cobalt]

Im gonna try and make a mod so console performance mode is actually usable

[shell flax]

Am I going insane or is Birch’s English VA different

[primal nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/fnaf-purple-guy-peepaw-gif-24730406

[spiral cobalt]

I'd yell at the embed fail but i mean they quite literally look exactly like that which probably isnt good

[echo nimbus]

🗿 can't even use ue tools and my save is just broken yipee

[spiral cobalt]

Whats wrong with your save?

[crystal bison]

Still kissing features, but we're getring closer

By the way where'd zoneslug go?

Did his mind get consumed by rhe monolith or something

[shell flax]

He posted something on his channel three weeks ago about burn out on stalker

[ebon blade]

https://tenor.com/view/fnaf-purple-guy-peepaw-gif-24730406

[primal nimbus]

Close enough. It got brain scorched

[faint canopy]

Normal 7.62x54 rounds no longer fit in svu or dragunov?

Need high quality rounds?

[shell flax]

Gotta get High quality or AP, unless you want ‘downgrade’ the barrel to use em

[faint canopy]

Thank you

[fallow vessel]

Does the game have a mod thing in game where we can install mods? 🙂

[sharp gulch]

only for Xbox and GOG version. For steam just use workshop

[fallow vessel]

ah dam im on geforce now oh well thanks anyways!

[sharp gulch]

I think Geforce now has a way to open steam and subscribe to mods

[fallow vessel]

Does it? :/

[sharp gulch]

You need to somehow get to open the Steam interface from GeForce now. Not sure how to do it, maybe online you can find a way

[fallow vessel]

i have it open now see if it will work...but might have to do them everytime hahahaha

[sharp gulch]

yeah just a quick glance online, seems like it needs to be done everytime ha. Good luck

[fallow vessel]

Thanks!

[fallow vessel]

im guessing once installed they just get added into the game 🙂

[sharp gulch]

correct. you can see if Stalker 2 updated in the downloads just in case

[echo nimbus]

||i can't talk to the colonel in pripyat after completing the laundromat quest and this was after rolling back my save to this point. before i had to skip the quest and start the next quest and once i reached the part where you need to kill kaymanov and when i talked to him i couldn't even kill or keep him alive. i'm just gonna start up a new save once mods are fixed and just spawn in all my old gear atp||

[flint plover]

Welp. I've been one of S2's biggest critics. I have NOT been happy with the state it was released in. The A-Life, and a lot of other things that should be standard in 2025. But this patch is a huge step in the right direction. A really good one. I know no devs prolly read this but good job on this one.

[arctic flower]

Hey guys, can anyone tell me what's the gun presented in the patch show case, the one with rectangular silencer and extended magazine, also does anyone know if there is an extended magazine for the Kora hand gun?

[frosty heart]

are the doors to schevchenko not opening for anyone?

[turbid trail]

Someone who plays on Xbox, hasn't you noticed that quality of textures decreased, especially those that far away from the player?

It was decent before patch (still not the best tho), but now they are hideous...

[arctic flower]

I just got there, it's not opening

[ebon blade]

https://tenor.com/view/tony-stark-smirk-gif-22786068

[shrewd needle]

700 GB is ridiculous for any reason.

[fallen latch]

is there a stendo mag for the 1911?

[arctic flower]

I slept and came in the morning, it opened for me.

[primal nimbus]

Imma see if flat high quality rounds can be used in a maxxed mosin

[ebon blade]

Maybe it will discourage low-quality efforts.

[shrewd needle]

Money to buy a NAS to house this POS =/= quality.

[vapid galleon]

Real

my ssd is always red bro

always

[magic vault]

It's the unique variant of Kora, I've yet to find it

[tame walrus]

If 700gb means all the asssets are uncompressed then its a huge timesaver

[slim wagon]

patch?

[tame walrus]

Modtools

[magic vault]

huge patch

[still current]

Modkit is just at it's beginning hehe it'll keep getting heavier and heavier

2tb ssd will be a good choice now lmao

[slim wagon]

they released it on xbox? we still didnt got full patch notes

[civic pumice]

Shhh!

[heavy canyon]

So is A-life fixed now? Are we only missing factions war?

[smoky hawk]

back in 2021, Faction Wars was said to not be coming back

[daring rampart]

Please add the option to turn off the white dot in the middle of the screen and keep the crosshairs on when the weapon is drawn.

[edgy shell]

So you want the lines but not the dot?

[vapid galleon]

[daring rampart]

When playing, I don't want to look at a dot in the middle of the screen for immersion, but when I pull out a gun, I want to see the sights.

[rancid herald]

so 1.5 best one yet?

[sharp gulch]

Hes talking about disabling the "free hands" crosshair. I think this was possible. Maybe check for Nexus, but careful if its very outdated

[daring rampart]

54 / 5 000
I don't think I've seen anything like this on Nexus yet.

[magic vault]

I don't know, I play PC
It's out, with full patch notes in the #📰┃announcement channel

[sharp gulch]

yes its out on xbox

[silent valve]

so the new patch comes with weapons and other stuff. Since I had finished the game its impossible to hop back somewhere into the zone, aside you load a former save point or start entirely over.

Then you'll lose your collected artifact "heart of chernobyl" and lots of items collected during the last runs... was that intended to happen?

[grand cedar]

stalker 2 crashing on startup pls help

[smoky hawk]

54 what?

[silent valve]

stalkers? xD

[daring rampart]

Sorry for the confusion, I'm from Prague and I use a translator, it crept in while copying.

[sharp gulch]

Yeah sorry i couldnt find something that does this.

[indigo oriole]

Is it possible to make mod for console like better stashes with a chance of spawning attachments

[sharp gulch]

someone has to do it

[cobalt haven]

Well i don't have mods, so yeah

Bread

[indigo oriole]

I don’t know how advanced mods we can get

[sharp gulch]

its a fairly common mod made by a lot of people. Theyre usuall tied to complete overhauls though with a lot more changes attached to them

[subtle spindle]

yes the game is supposed to end.

[hardy totem]

Anyone I can borrow a cup of weekend from?

[oak junco]

naw its just kinda lazy work imo they just tossed us uncompressed stuff

GSC is asking alot from people 150 gigs for stalker 2 and 700 for an SDK so 850GB of space is outrageous

[sharp gulch]

Sorry Weekend Machine broke

[edgy shell]

it's absolutely huge

but it means we can get some really high quality desktop wallpapers :)

[hardy totem]

https://tenor.com/view/emoji-emoji-disintegrating-emoji-disappearing-meme-21st-century-gif-24891417

[sharp gulch]

What do you mean? we need to uncompressed stuff to actually mod it? cant mod compiled assets

they should be able, and eventually i hope so, to split the assets into different "DLCs" based on references to each other

[oak junco]

true atleast to put it in perspective s2 and the sdk is roughly the size of 23 standalone stalker mods and skyrim with 4000+ mods

[oak junco]

hope so

[smoky hawk]

I mean, you could try and make a decompiler so instead of downloading 400gb of decompiled data, decompile the data from the game, as an option

[sharp gulch]

Its possible, looking at the "encrypted" compressed .pak with all the assets. They can make different ones, even splitting it in half would already be monumental. Issue is all assets needs all their reference in the ditor other it wont work. Tbh they should just ship the SDK without any assets for those wholl use the SDK to just package and ship CFG mods like we were doing before

[indigo oriole]

I hope so cuz it will change the whole gameplay. I’m tired of finding vodka and bandages…

[edgy shell]

no idea how this stuff works but I would have thought a way to select what to install like they did with cod would have been a middle ground

[sharp gulch]

This will depend on the Mod and the Author. I tried to make my mods as modular as possible on Nexus, but its a compromise

[edgy shell]

it's an approach i'd like to take too, but again, not much experience lol

how on earth do you even get mods to work alongside each other if they end up changing things

that's always baffled me

[sharp gulch]

its an age old question and why things like mod managers and merger SW exists

Stalker 2 has a neat thing called url referencing. Meaning you call the file you want to edit and say "Btw add all these things to XY", it works like 50/50

[smoky hawk]

usually one would use overrides and a versioning system, you dont actually directly edit the files, you have an API layer that points to each mod and then load each mods version of said file on a queue order, then use versioning to cut out whats the same and compare what isn't, if there are conflicts choose whats the first on queue

[sharp gulch]

this would be very smart

[edgy shell]

yeha that makes sense

[sharp gulch]

We can only hope GSC does something like this. I told them from the begining they need to add some game version metadata to their CFGs, so the game knows if a mod is outdated, and know what is modifying from vanilla

[edgy shell]

that 20h install is going to consume my internet goodness me

[hushed wyvern]

The engoodening of Stalker 2... it begins

[edgy shell]

but I really want to do this :/

[quasi summit]

I have an important question

Dnipro or Kharod because I can’t find a clear answer and I can’t work out which one is better

Or pp bizon

[hushed wyvern]

Dnipro with the caliber change was really good maybe the best at launch.. but I dont know right now since I think they completly removed 7.62x39 for the time being.

Didnt play in a while so idk

[smoky hawk]

I expect it to be a 7.62x54 dnipro now

If it isn't
I'm going to be very disappointed

[quasi summit]

Isn’t there a new rifle being added

I only saw a flash and thought it was a mosin.. that was like 2 weeks ago

[hushed wyvern]

Russian 308 MDR vibes

Well russian caliber, ukrainian gun etc etc

[smoky hawk]

A mosin and a 1911 ere added

[quasi summit]

I need to find the video again

[quasi summit]

Are they in yet ?

[hushed wyvern]

Ye

[smoky hawk]

Yes

[quasi summit]

What region

[hushed wyvern]

Mosin is called three line rifle and 1911 is Kora 1911

[smoky hawk]

Mosin game start and 1911 in garbage

[quasi summit]

Thank you

[hushed wyvern]

Im guessing they will add 7.62x39 back in with AKM <333

[quasi summit]

Is the 1911 good ?

[smoky hawk]

Funny you think they'll add the akm

[smoky hawk]

Yes

[quasi summit]

I see no problem with the akm it seems fitting but I don’t know much about guns so I can’t really say much about it

[quasi summit]

That’s good I needed a good sidearm

[hushed wyvern]

Why not ?

Basic 7.62x39 rifle that is found literally everywhere on the planet.

[edgy shell]

pretty sure the dnipro and stuff is now 545 x 39

[smoky hawk]

The 74 is already there and it does the same job the akm would theoretically do

[hushed wyvern]

Yeah but if they add 7.62x39 back AKM is literally the most obvious option

[slate terrace]

Hello everyone, the question is, I can't loot mutants, there is a white dot, but the window doesn't open. And the mutant has a quest collar

[opaque fable]

always has been

[edgy shell]

must have gotten them mixed up

thought it used the other type. Ah well

[opaque fable]

there is a caliber conversion for dnipro at technician
pre patch its was 7.62x39
now its 7.62x54

[edgy shell]

ah so it's not 762 down to 545, the patch change that is, but bringing 762 39 to 54 instead?

[hollow hemlock]

with new update do we need to restart the game from 0 to get all features ? I killed quite a few mutants and I could never loot one (meanwhile partial reload is working perfectly)

[opaque fable]

you need to do quest first

[hollow hemlock]

Ah it's just a random quest we get from some NPCs at base ?

[opaque fable]

on malahit

[edgy shell]

what quest was it?
must have been one i'd already done

[hollow hemlock]

I'm against them. Anyway I better keep the mutant loot mod x) thanks

[compact oracle]

after update, i'm sure I could run the game in 4k stable 100fps on a 4090 now

[hollow hemlock]

yeah It got much improved with my 6900XT

[magic vault]

Anyone else experiencing the three-line rifle reloading bugs? Skif randomly stops using clips (even without a big scope)

[hollow hemlock]

maybe your magazine isn't empty

so he doesn't use clip

[magic vault]

It is empty

[hollow hemlock]

then it's a bug

[magic vault]

Yeah, I reported it along with other issues I found
I was curious if anyone else noticed or found it distracting

[shell kite]

i aint got the Mod Menu in the main screen? i updated yesterday am i lookin in the wrong place

downloading a mod from workshop rn maby then the menu appears

[fading parcel]

So, longer days/nights mods actually will not break anything from game quests etc?

[feral horizon]

So how is A-life and game performance now for everyone?

[violet dune]

steam achievements are locked? i did last night maybe 10 covert kills and still nothing

[slender canopy]

what are some of the goals that npc's have now with a-life on?

[feral horizon]

For one, npc's don't despawn if you move away from them.

Also fights are suppose to happen in world away from you.

[slender canopy]

cool, but do they do random stuff like go in search for artifacts?

[edgy shell]

I did see someone doing a new artifact search animation during my travels

[feral horizon]

I don't think npc's ever searched for artifacts.

My mouse feels more smooth with frame gen on. But I still get fps drops in places like rostok, but that's probably cause I'm playing with an rtx 3060 6gb.

[slender canopy]

I guess you're right, but they were exploring anomalous areas and they had artifact in invetory which is still cool. Anyway just asking if npc's do anything cool outside the go from point A to point B thing

I am glad to see the new changes.

[edgy shell]

they will more often actually set up in a location instead of just walking through it

observed people walking into the location i'd just cleared, and leaned against the wall, sat at campfires etc. Before then i'd only seen them spawn in those spots rather than move to them

[slender canopy]

that's cool

do we see anyone from the villages randomly going to explore outside the village when you yourself are in the village? curious about that one

[edgy shell]

haven't seen it yet

but I also don't stalk npcs regularly so I wouldn't know

[slender canopy]

someone from youtube said they do in offline mode but never when you are in the location yourself

[tame gazelle]

"To keep things FAIR; we have disabled achievements while you are using mods." -> Okay? Are the Monolith soldiers ingame other players or whats going on here? Its a singleplayer game.

[slender canopy]

I once did an experiment, I followed an npc I found outside then got to zalyssia, then I stalked that guy and he never left ever, but that was pre 1.5, so I'm curious what the result would be now weather in online or offline mode.

It's satisfying to know that it works in offline mode but would be even cooler to work in online mode.

[edgy shell]

I suppose I could test it later

[slender canopy]

yeah! I'm not reinstalling the game at the moment but I am excited for this news.

[edgy shell]

I also never really followed people in the trilogy either but I do remember seeing people leaving every now and then

[slender canopy]

also flinching from bullets animation for npc's would be cool to have if it's not already in there

[edgy shell]

honestly the whole a-life system is something i've started trying to recreate in unity to serve my own projects, it's such a neat idea

[slender canopy]

of course, it makes the place real

[edgy shell]

yeah it does exist. It's nice. Creates a really nice sense of choice and risk between tap fire and auto

[slender canopy]

This thing called a-life made us all want to play this underrated eastern european game.

[edgy shell]

tbf it's the setting and narrative I care more about

A life was the cherry on top that tied narrative to gameplay

[slender canopy]

well that too, it goes together, the real vibe/lore mixed with the realness of how the world and its characters feel a-life

[sharp gulch]

facts. alife is sorely missed tho

[tame gazelle]

wtb flashlight mod jesus christ i cant see 3m in front of me still. 7 months.

[slender canopy]

a-life felt like magic and when people found out about it it brought a lot of new players

[edgy shell]

Like I could wonder through a region and see literally nobody and still be filled with questions and feelings, based upon how the world percieves this little pocket of space frozen in time.

But seeing people go out on adventures, dying in combat or succeeding is like the game letting you see that narrative unfold

[slender canopy]

and that leaderboard with the ncp's points? and the little chats on the pda, I honestly want that back too 😄

[edgy shell]

pda chats was just a replacement for subtitles, which we have now

[tame gazelle]

when lumen/lighting is broken why do we not have a flashlight that actually can light up indoors from outside? I cant literally see foking shuit 4m in front of my while aiming from outside to inside an interior. i got 250 hours soon and not even finished the game. i cant

[slender canopy]

nono I mean the chats that randomly appear saying " I just saw a mercenery shoot a bloodsucker and die north west of Garbage "

[edgy shell]

oh that, that's modded

but if it can give people the illusion of life, even if it's faked, I see no problem with considering it

[tame gazelle]

instead of adding a fouking shooting star cant we get a working flashlight i cant see enemies 3m in front of me that are inside buildings at night.

[slender canopy]

yeah I played all 3 games and the modded so it's all baked together in my memory because the mods did respect the vision and vibe of originals

but the leaderboard was there

[edgy shell]

although I never met anyone on said leaderboard so it's impact wasn't all that great on me. Like, it could be faked and I wouldn't have noticed

[slender canopy]

it's probably faked but adds to the illusion

I asked AI, it's fake :)) but I still like it

[edgy shell]

yeah.
I know once I finish the game and lose that core progression drive of narrative development, and enter that free roam stage, not having a system that's in depth as the olds ones would definitely be felt

[slender canopy]

well I found this

[tame gazelle]

Stalker 2: Fallout 5

[edgy shell]

the chats in the mods are actually real, as they'll hold the items they say they found and so forth

[slender canopy]

in call of pripyat the npc's did this : roam, patrol, explore the zone independently, fight mutants, rival factions or other stalkers based on their goals and environment, participate in faction-specific tasks like defending territory or attacking enemies, seek shelter, rest, trade ,loot, trigger or respond to player driven or scripted events.

so I goes we got this in 1.5 then?

[edgy shell]

but the core thing is that players tend to not notice these systems unless their influence is directly conveyed. If those messages didn't appear, people would assume the ai just spawn items on them when they die. Seeing the 'we need help over here!' messages in CS shows you that stuff is happening. Just showing that something is happening is enough

[crystal bison]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je-VV87hJKg

[slender canopy]

yeah that was real, just the leaderboard thing was faked

[slender canopy]

what would still be left to do is the question that I ask

[edgy shell]

pft, no clue. Faction wars and that whole dynamic doesn't seem to exist at the moment. It's just a case of npcs that spawn in a region relate to the faction that controls it, rather than them fighting for control at all

[slender canopy]

great test I will watch it full

[crystal bison]

goated youtuber

[edgy shell]

One thing I would love to see is an anomaly zone control thing. Anomaly sites are the only real systemic objectives that aren’t set by some quest or marker, having people defending them that you need to fight off to get the stuff inside would be fun, as well as more people defending parts of the terrain or in buildings to make traversal more fun

[slender canopy]

wow in the video this guy noticed that npc's have artifact search animation now, but no artifact in inventory but that can be added later

[tame gazelle]

flashlight mod still works thank god almighty

[charred nova]

When fishing

[hardy totem]

Soon™

[slender canopy]

also in the video it says they added more random npc's in some of the "dead" locations so now it will feel more alive and you will have stuff to fight in those places I guess if you want 😄

[oak junco]

[slender canopy]

lol why you need that in every game

[cinder lagoon]

125 fov on PC doesn’t work

[edgy shell]

For a while I thought it was sarcasm but after a while I’m just worried lol

[shadow token]

do you guys think they will keep working on A-live system?

or is it done yet

[edgy shell]

They’ll probably keep going until people stop shouting about it

Which means never lmao

[shadow token]

I was wondering if there's any specific goal with this system beyond simulating things like picking up artifacts, like having them in your inventory after you've been picking them up or something, to make it more organic, or is it just meant to be something visual?

[tame gazelle]

Why does the inventory UI behave differently depending on what Inventory UI you are using? Let's say I'm trying to highlight a type of ammo, while hovering over my weapon in MY inventory it does not highlight ammo that fits, but if I highlight a gun that is in the Shop inventory it highlights the ammo it uses. WHY is it coded like this?

[edgy shell]

no idea. Until someone happens to take out someone who happens to have one on them, we won't know

which is why the messaging idea works - it shows people what the system is doing

[smoky hawk]

yes, the developers said this isnt the final stage

[placid estuary]

" [...] we are focused. Even more A-Life updates are on the horizon, but of course I can't share the exact details. [...] A-Life updates are still within our top priorities to fix and update. Future patches will also have more A-Life updates, sometimes big, sometimes small. But definitely we will continue working on it" (c) Kenny_PropheT, GSC CM, replying to countless Reddit posts asking this question.

[shadow token]

Thank u for the info guys, very interesting

[waxen marten]

yeah, we aren't done with A-life

[snow garnet]

Why is it now a kora-1911 and not a kora-919 like trilogy

[charred nova]

It’s a newer model

[untold wagon]

@waxen marten any chance you guys are considering changes to allow achievements with mods? Just want to play the way I like and still go for achievements

[smoky hawk]

I hope not

[waxen marten]

not sure, it was an intentional choice to preserve their value for people who like to chase them

[tame gazelle]

6 fleshes on veteran early game bullet count -> 18x 12/70 (toz) 28x 5.45x39 (aks) and 50x 9x18. bro what is this? does fleshes have the armor of a tiger tank

[waxen marten]

we are looking at the reactions to this change though, will see

[tame gazelle]

I had over 150 ammo going out for a small mission and after a pack of flesh I have basically nothing left and have to go back to base. Fix ur foiking shiot.

oh sorry my bad, ill just mod it instead.

[untold wagon]

Glad it’s still on the table for discussion. I don’t see why people care how others get them. You’re just punishing people who want to play the game a different way

[waxen marten]

doesn't sound like the number of ammo used with headshots, but 6 fleshes is a huge pack. maybe I am misevaluating the ammo req for them

[tame gazelle]

Yeah, i should have rather brought 16 RPG rounds for thoes 6 fleshes.

[serene barn]

Molt will the 7.62x39 ammo ever return? i've heard it's been full on removed now as the choice was made to have the Dnipro's conversion take 7.62x54 instead somehow, despite it being a noticably larger round. i feel like it should have stayed even if just for the Dnipro or the RPD if you'd ever get around to finishing that gun.

[river chasm]

IDK exactly how the game handles mods or can check them but I have played games in the past where achievements were left enabled if your mods were cosmetic only

[jagged wharf]

We're waiting for more mods on Xbox Series. It's strange that there are already around fifty on the Workshop but only five on Xbox. Is there an issues?

[river chasm]

I believe getting the mods onto console requires some additional time and work

[smoky hawk]

are you shooting mutants with AR ammo?

lol

[tame gazelle]

i shot em with every type of ammo I had because I thought leaving the base early game with a pistol, toz and a aks with over 250 bullets all together would be enough for pack of fleshes and 1 more mission. but no

how is TOZ ar ammo

[smoky hawk]

shoot their sides with a shotgun, 3-4 shells brings them down easy

[river chasm]

At least in a new game on standard difficulty yesterday I was able to down fleshes and dogs white quickly with smg or buckshot. 1-2 shells or maybe 5-10 9x19 rounds

[serene barn]

didn't you say you used 28 545 rounds

[river chasm]

Though with the boomstick you gotta get right in their face

[tame gazelle]

yes and again..... along side everything else so why does that AR ammo matter when that was the last i had left jesus

[serene barn]

i think when it comes to mutants, shotgun is the way to go.

[smoky hawk]

I dunno man

maybe, you missed 29 bullets in your mag

[tame gazelle]

y e a h n o f o i k i ng shiat

[smoky hawk]

[cobalt warren]

Does the new Update really fix a Life?

[serene barn]

9mm or whatever from a Viper isn't doing much to fleshes

[tame gazelle]

[serene barn]

idk if it's because they have armor stat and the gun doesn't have much in terms of penetration.

[halcyon karma]

Well - I know this would probably be complicated to do, but there could be made a whitelist for mods that don't alter gameplay (just visuals) - this way, you can play with them and still allow achievements.

[river chasm]

SMGs can be effective on mutants. Just expect to use more ammoy

[tame gazelle]

Penetration? Oh you mean that stat they REMOVED from the game

[gilded sundial]

Anyone get their first OOM/vram error with 1.5 (since they fixed rostok?) it didn't even generate a crash report in the end. 32 gb ram an on my 3rd playthrough, hasn't happened since the earliest releases.

[smoky hawk]

yhea

[serene barn]

in what update?

[cobalt marsh]

penetration wasnt removed, its just rolled into damage now for the in game stats

[smoky hawk]

last updated

[serene barn]

1.5?

reading the patch notes for 1.5 at least atm

[tame gazelle]

it was penetraion now its handling i dont know the patch xxxx version it was removed

[cobalt marsh]

Yes but the penetration stat still exists, its just hidden and rolled into damage stat. It wasnt actually removed

[uneven barn]

yes

[smoky hawk]

1.4 I mean

[charred nova]

Someone gotta drop a mod to revert hiding the pen stat

[silent atlas]

whats the deal with mutant looting? When I load my save in Pripyat, I can successfully loot every mutant I kill, but when I started a new game, I cannot loot any mutant at all?

[charred nova]

It’s suppose to be random not all mutants are meant to be lootable

[river chasm]

You can do it after you first meet Richter. It's random though

[silent atlas]

ok ill try again

[unreal basin]

Is it just me or is the death count increasing every time you load a quick save? Regardless of if its after dieing or messing up a dialogue choice

[cedar panther]

They finally did it my stash aint a mess anymore i don't have to scroll down half an hour to find my guns im happy about to start a fresh game once some more mods drop especially no drunken water 😂 and a mod that alows me to put more sights on weapons not limiting me like gsc doea 😅

[torn nacelle]

question does the whip take the extended mag that the SVU does? i would assume so but having trouble finding info

[cedar panther]

I think it does don't know 100% havent played in a while 😂

[river chasm]

Generally uniques should take the attachments of the normal version

[torn nacelle]

yea alright thanks, is there a suppresor available for the whip?

[river chasm]

Not sure. I didn't really use snipers on my original playthrough and I just started a new one

[fickle hill]

I will tell you where to find a suppressor for SVU and it's in Zaton

[cobalt marsh]

Yes it does take the normal SVU extended mag, as well as the supressor the SVU uses

[tame gazelle]

Why are there so many limitations on when you can save? For instance can't save on a ladder, in certain animations (if not all) and when entering underground bases.

[torn nacelle]

thanks

[snow garnet]

Isn't this literally what the trilogy did, I don't get the whole controversy on removing it in favor of handling being visible now.

[heady crag]

How can I get a scope that fits the mosin?

[torn nacelle]

good to know, thanks alot!

[cobalt marsh]

Not being able to save in the middle of an animation is usually to prevent something breaking on reloading

[river chasm]

In the trilogy penetration was a property of the ammo only iirc

[cobalt marsh]

this is correct

[cobalt marsh]

the only scopes it takes are its default scope and a red dot

The regular collimator I think

[heady crag]

Is there another rifle we can get other than the one on the roof of the detention center? Because that one doesn’t have a scope

[cobalt marsh]

Idk but you can buy them several places, and npcs can have and drop them on death

[heady crag]

Alright, thanks

[twilit dome]

yo why is there no audio message in my stash when i open it the first time? I bought the platinum version thingy...

i mean the journalists stashes btw

[faint canopy]

Every enemy I shoot is flying away..

[unreal basin]

A-Life is definitely working, just witnessed a Burer get killed by a grav anomaly

[jagged wharf]

The a-life uptade is a game changer,i fell it directly even if it not close yet to the trilogy. The only major bug i see is when you do headshot the pnj fly

[river chasm]

You need to proceed a little bit into the main story for it to appear. I think up to where you take a mission from either gaffer or zotov

But it could be slightly further I forget

[still current]

Can you describe where it happened?

Perhaps which path you chose

Too

[tranquil vine]

I've already reported this to the devs, i have a bug that affects the code that handles spawn in of underground tunnels/caves

Upon loading the tunnels in the mission "Once More unto the breach" (at the first check point) all reloads of the game will cause these tunnels to stop rendering in which causes me to void out when i load a save.

[violet dune]

anyone notice weird stuff with AI? for example 4 bandits just running away from me and not going into contact or 2 bloodsuckers also just running not attacking

[still current]

Should be fixed

[tranquil vine]

Yes, the AI is much less prone to "focus" you.

[tranquil vine]

We shall see

[violet dune]

i guess its feature, not everyone should attack

[still current]

Not quite sure

[violet dune]

also got scammed on car sales...

[still current]

Got sold a carcass of a car?

[tranquil vine]

It's very wonky though, i've had a instance where a group of bandits took potshots at me while a squad of Wardens ran around me freaking out.

[violet dune]

yea, very nice one. just waiting for battery to charge up

[river chasm]

Pretty good time for the summer sale after such a big update

[violet dune]

yea. it is bugged. in my case i shooted at bandit, but they just run away

[tranquil vine]

Welp, i still void out in Once more unto the breach...

[still current]

I noticed that some don't attack if there is a more potent treat around. Maybe it is how it's supposed to behave, or not? We'll see

[lusty veldt]

...would have been great if they let us upgrade our editions for this sale, sigh

[tranquil vine]

Man this is anoying, i could toggle god mode and go through this mission but i don't know if this bug affects other areas outside of this campaign mission.

how do I reset user.ltx?

[still current]

Delete it

[halcyon karma]

Alr, my bad, G.

There is one, I guess. I thought it was only used for Night Stalker tbh

[sterile jolt]

bruh, that didn't work too

[crude surge]

it seems like people either like it or hate it from the reviews

[still current]

Tried a new game?

Maybe the save got bricked

[sterile jolt]

I can't open the game at all

I click 'play' on steam and it just does nothing

[still current]

Weird

Idk how to help you with this one

[calm crystal]

Is the new "A-life improvements" something closer to OG A-life yet?

[sterile jolt]

well, thanks for your help

I think it might be an hardware related issue

because I upgraded my pc recently

[still current]

Try support

Maybe

Make sure drivers and all stuff are set then

[thin pendant]

If you have made any upgrades or changes - Make sure that your physical GPU is used as a primary source, and not your internal GPU

Otherwise, run the basics such as checking the game for corrupted files, updating your computer drivers, etc

If you have ammo UI disabled, is there a way to check how many rounds in ur gun is somehow?

[sterile jolt]

well, everything is running in my principal gpu

[sterile jolt]

just checked it and I got a driver update for my gpu, I'll be back when I restart my pc

[shrewd needle]

No.

[shell flax]

Memorize the ammo in the mag lmao

[sterile jolt]

aaaand nothing happened

guess i'm gonna have to wait until the next patch

[nocturne robin]

Have you tried reinstalling the game

[hoary osprey]

Yes actually, because nobody ever gave this scrutiny to the original game's A-Life which was frought with issues.

[nocturne robin]

People expect A-Life that they experienced with mods in the previous games

Which, considering the time gap between the old games and this one is a reasonable wishlist item but also not necessarily realistic

[lofty mango]

Hey guys do the Steam mods work for the actual game yet?

[hoary osprey]

Literally the entire doomer community consists of Anomaly/gamma players who didn't play the original games.

[sterile jolt]

of course

[nocturne robin]

As someone new to the franchise i love the game

[nocturne robin]

Maybe try using the launch preferences to launch the game in a lower resolution and windowed

Might at least allow you to get in the executable

[sterile jolt]

Ok. So what do I need to write in the launch preferences?

[nocturne robin]

Not sure the exact commands. You can google them tho. The prefix should be a dash like so:

-example

[cedar plinth]

||guys i cant kill faust xddd||

||is there a good strategy that helps to eliminate him? i destroyed all three light bulbs and i shot at the bulb, that is on his hip|| - spoiler allert

[faint canopy]

I have been attacked outside Pripyat safe zone and when I killed them, the safe zone is locked

Am I screwed? Also, one of the guys outside the door is pointing his weapon

The other one is open for trading it’s weird

[viral prism]

When can we expect the game to be completely dubbed in German ?????

[sterile jolt]

I tried some and it seems to have no effects

guess that's the end of the line

I can only hope it to be fixed in the next patch

[viral prism]

When can we expect the game to be completely dubbed in German ?????

[still current]

Super or rpg just aim tight lmao

[night plaza]

does anyone know if theres a mod that simply improves the bullet drop? i dont want full damage model overhauls, etc... i just want my mosin bullet to not drop to the ground after 25 meters

[cedar plinth]

nvm i did it, took me 5 grenades + shotgun under Kharod and 3 big magazines from Zubr19

and around 15 healing packages

[still current]

Honestly? First time kinda had me sweating, but second was a quick painful death to him

Like 2mins

[cedar plinth]

i just ran to him, shoot go away heal wait kill clones and repeat till he invites me to his speech

[still current]

Had to use lots of med but just knew the drill

Hehe made it a lot easier

[frigid hill]

mxdboy666 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tired ruin]

Man I wish the sks was in stalker 2 it would be so nice

[cedar plinth]

damn, i forgot to use army heal instead of normal... this mistake costed me like 10 lifes

[feral horizon]

Personally I'd rather play stalker 2 in a buggy state than vanilla anomaly.

[thin pendant]

Comparing to SoC, CS, CoP - The devs did such a huge jump to S2, and I love everything about it.

Its also, for me personally - keep your spears down - the first open world adventure thats large and filled with plenty of content, while also rewarding the player for checking every corner.

And I recommend watching the Stalker 2 Documentary

[dark iris]

boyz, can I do some programming with brand new STALKER2ZoneKit?

[rapid topaz]

Is the 1.5 patch is it still using a spawn bubble or is it persistent ai ?

[cobalt marsh]

The bubble is there and always will be even if it gets bigger. But A-life is working in on/offline modes

And the zone def feels more alive then before

[rapid topaz]

Not true a life got it

Maybe one day they will get rid of the bubble

[cobalt marsh]

They will not and cannot, you cannot simluate the entire map at once. It would never be stable

But I do expect it to get bigger as they get it better optimized

[rapid topaz]

They could if it wasn’t ue5 probably

[cobalt marsh]

Maybe, but we have what we have

[river chasm]

The bubble existed in the original games it was just 50% bigger

[zinc karma]

Is it normal that there are only 5 mods in the Xbox Series X version?

[primal nimbus]

Which rounds did you use? Regular? I hit around 80-100m with no drop when harassing the IPSF at the central checkpoint, with flat high quality and AP rounds.

[stark crescent]

did all artifacts lose radiation triat?

[oblique tapir]

New rifle location? Me no find.

[shell flax]

Hamster sells one

[unreal basin]

What’s the Heavy Key with a -1 scratch led into it for?

[cobalt marsh]

No, just some

[cobalt marsh]

You can buy it at zalyssa, garbage, and cordon

And apparently there is one on top of the detention center

[unreal basin]

The Detention Center one has a Flash Suppressor already on it

[oblique tapir]

Thanks. I knew it was in zalyssa, but ||i made an oopsie, and it got destroyed||

Also wheres the detention center again?

Nvm i found it

[cobalt marsh]

South of slag heap, where you meet star the first time if i remember right

[oblique tapir]

Also, how good is it? Is it only really good for early to mid game, or does it compete with late game rifles?

[cobalt marsh]

Its good early. high damage but low penetration. There is an upgrade for it that doubles it pen to make it good mid-late game but resticts it to high quality ammo only. You cant shoot ball out of it anymore

Its also insanely cheap to upgrade and maintain. I think its very good

[oblique tapir]

Oooh. I like the cheap maintain cost

But sadly if my WHIP is better, then ill just stick with that

[cobalt marsh]

If I had a gripe. You cant suppress it, and the only scope it can use is its default and a red dot

Whip is better by a good margin. But a ton more expensive to maintain and you dont get it until pretty late in the game

The Kora on the other hand is probably the best pistol in the game

from an all-around perspective anyway

[oblique tapir]

From every perspective tbh

[stark crescent]

is there a way to dismount the scope from the mosin nagant, without having to attach another sight on it?

[cobalt marsh]

No

[stark crescent]

probably gonna have to wait for a mod then

[hidden crane]

uh... hey guys. why do i have "playing solo" on stalker 2. thanks.

[cobalt marsh]

You cant use irons on the mosin, for whatever reason

[stark crescent]

what were the devs thinking. such rifles are the coolest with the iron sights

they add a cool rifle, and then they make it uncool

[cobalt marsh]

Im hoping they will change that cause its closer to a DMR than a sniper

[oak junco]

Wait why can't you iron sight with the mosin?

[oblique tapir]

I thought they used one that didn’t have a scope on it in the video preview of the update

[oak junco]

Hell In dayz you could switch from ironsights and pu scope with it being attached

[cobalt marsh]

No you cant remove its default scope. So no irons

[oak junco]

[cobalt marsh]

The one in the preview had a red dot, which it CAN take

Thats as close to irons as youll get lol

[oak junco]

Red dot mosin is so cursed lol

[tired ruin]

We need more mods of Xbox 🥲

I js heard it’s a pain in the ass to upload them because you need a ton of space

[stark crescent]

so, how do you activate the mod browser then? or not implemented yet?

[cobalt marsh]

I dont think they have the mod stuff finished on xbox. Or maybe its in beta or something?

[stark crescent]

im on pc

[shell flax]

If you’re on steam you need to use workshop

[shell flax]

It’s there

[stark crescent]

ohhhhhhhhhh

[shell flax]

Just not much to download currently

[oblique tapir]

What psychopath designed an attachment rig to put an red dot sight on a mosin

[shell flax]

Bubba

[cobalt marsh]

The angled foregrip too lol

[stark crescent]

one of the devs thought we wanted a non iron sight mosin. crazy right. dude probably played too much COD

[cobalt marsh]

On the plus side. Idk if anyone else has noticed, but it seems like most guns flip their irons down now when you add a scope, instead of removing them completely

[oak junco]

I think even cod would curse a mosin like that 💀

[oblique tapir]

Another reason for me to hate the COD franchise

[stark crescent]

well. we gonna have to wait for modders to fix hteir mistake then

[shell flax]

Drum fed Garand

The S2 Mosin is pure art compared to the heinous shit you can do to your guns in COD

[charred nova]

The mosin in stalker 2 looks nice

It’s kinda weird

Cus the animations for the 2 new weapons seem to a higher level of quality compared to all other ones

Idk

Maybe it’s just me

[oak junco]

I just wanna know why a red dot on a gun that was made in the late 1800s when iron sights make more sense

[cobalt marsh]

I think its just more obvious and cool on the mosin becasue of the exposed chamber and bolt assembly

[sharp helm]

Do yall let it crust?

[stark crescent]

atleast they added the clip loading for when the scope is removed

[cobalt marsh]

I dont suppose anyone has found the extended mag for the kora yet

[stark crescent]

Borisv12 found one near the cement plant of duty. he never said where exactly tho

so, in my opinion, the toz-34 has the exact same animation as battlefield 1, when you start running with a rifle in hand. at the time i thought hte devs simply took it over. i now think, this animation would suit the mosin nagant better.

[tired ruin]

I’m not sure if there is one I know the night stalker has a bigger magazine size tho

And it’s about the same damage it’s js kinda ugly

[cobalt marsh]

Night stalker pretty clearly has an extended mag

And its the exact same damage but chambered in 9mm

[tired ruin]

Yes it’s basically the same js better accuracy and handling then the base kora

I just wish you could take the suppresser off

[noble wolf]

Made a grave mistake of taking a job for a particular artifact

[cobalt marsh]

Never seems worth it to take artifact jobs

[tired ruin]

I wish there was an npc companion mod stalker 2 feels so lonely sometimes lol

[sturdy verge]

super awesome that mods work on gfn ! woot woot

[tired ruin]

I wish there was a mod for it on console

I’m sure there’s one for it on pc

[magic vault]

LOL I just saw a Burer walking across the street, at Dark Valley
He completely ignored me, even when I hugged or shot him

Has anyone else seen Burers walking outside of their pits?

[tired ruin]

I have not

[feral gust]

does the nightvision mode works with 1.5 patch?

[tired ruin]

No they haven’t added it yet

[magic vault]

There's no nightvision goggles yet

[tired ruin]

They are working on it though

[magic vault]

I was recording a video for a bug report and right as I was about to close my game I saw this
https://youtu.be/nWmnrM1v20A

[feral gust]

I mean can you use mod for nightvision, I saw there was some one nexus mod, but not sure if it works with this new update 🙂

[primal nimbus]

I’m keeping my 1911 in God’s caliber.
-# And I don’t want a bandit to come back as a lich.

[primal nimbus]

I’m currently on a job for strange rock, skipjack, and another

[tired ruin]

Fair enough I js wish I could find a bigger magazine for it

[primal nimbus]

Same

But I don’t mind 8 bullets

[tired ruin]

The night stalker is so ugly

I’m not a fan of gold

Only reason I use it is because it’s five more rounds then the kora

[cobalt marsh]

only reason im NOT using it is becasue its 9mm and im using the integral in .45 and I dont want to carry another ammo caliber

[tired ruin]

That’s so fair I be carrying around 4 different ammo types 💀

[rapid topaz]

Does the as val is this game use different types to ?

[tired ruin]

I wish there was a way to duplicate the weird bottle to get more carry weight

[cobalt marsh]

the val uses 9x39 only but all variations of it

I really wish 9x39 wasnt so heavy and expensive

[primal nimbus]

Lowkey felt 9x39 overrated unless Rhino

[cobalt marsh]

agreed. Val needs better damage and the vintar needs more pen. and the ammo itself needs to be a bit cheaper and lighter

Grom is pretty good now though

[noble wolf]

Normally I never would. I prefer killing bandit jobs, but I'm using a x8 reward and it was worth 10,000x8 and no bandit job available

[primal nimbus]

Which Groza? The 939 or 545 one?

[cobalt marsh]

both really. the 5.45 is better just because of the ammo but it costs alot more to repair

I always really want to use/like trophy but its just so inferior to other options

[primal nimbus]

I have trophy, as val, vintorez, and 545 groza chilling in my chest. Stockpiling 939 (3 stacks now) due to rarity. Have to bug the IPSF central checkpoint for it.

[cobalt marsh]

Even if you have alot of ammo for it, the ammo's weight and the guns stats just suck the fun out of it for me

[noble wolf]

With everything as spongey AF as it is. I get this. You can burn through 300 rounds in 2 minutes. Or using a shot gun, you can still burn through shells. Less albeit. But dang

[primal nimbus]

Heck it. Mosin timmy strat then
-# Gonna shower brb

[cobalt marsh]

Mosin is awesome tbh. Cheap as hell to maintain and hits like a truck

[noble wolf]

Decided the way to enjoy the game was mods. I was running a nod that made ammo and consumables weight 0, now I'm using the Shay's QoL mod on the workshop that cuts weight by 50%

[primal nimbus]

Mosin > M701

[shell flax]

The 5.45 grom is punching in the same weight class as the Dnipro/Malyuk after the patch

[primal nimbus]

Literally magged 20-40 rounds of flat and AP for Mosin.

Still pay $65 for repair.

I call that a steal.

[untold wagon]

Using the same mod and its such a better experience for me. Great balance of keeping it vanilla while relieving some of the inventory management but not all of it

[primal nimbus]

Yooooo

Meanwhile, 939 gang still struggling from what I hear so far

[shell flax]

The fact the Malyuk conversion got changed to 54R is funny to me though, because letting that thing rip would be HELL to control

[primal nimbus]

Pardon?

[heavy mesa]

where do i ask for help about the mosin since its not in my game

[cobalt marsh]

Yeah it used to convert to 7.62x39 but that ammo got changed to 7.62x54 ball so now thats what it uses

Its kinda funny but also wtf

[fickle hill]

Oh

[shell flax]

the PKM fires the proper caliber now though so

[cobalt marsh]

Yep. And the patch notes mentioned the val getting buffed but it didnt get changed. So either they forgot or idk

[primal nimbus]

Have you talked with Beard?

[primal nimbus]

Was expecting to shred through enemies with 939, not my ammo.

[heavy mesa]

no

[primal nimbus]

Yeah. I purchased my mosin from Beard.

[heavy mesa]

ok ill check that out, i have checked other traders and the detention center and its not there but maybe he will have it

[cobalt marsh]

Did you remove your mods?

[primal nimbus]

Did you update your game?

[heavy mesa]

game is updated but maybe its my mods

[cobalt marsh]

Pretty much every existing mod breaks or breaks the game with the 1.5 patch. So make sure to remove all of them

[heavy mesa]

ok, thank you both.

[terse ravine]

is 7.62x39 sold by merchants now?

[primal nimbus]

Idk but I noticed my stockpile vanished

[cobalt marsh]

yes and no. 7.62.39 does not exist. its been converted to 7.62x54 ball. Which is now sold by merchants

Any existing ammo you had will have been converted also

[primal nimbus]

High quality = Flat but with diff name

[terse ravine]

is the 7.62x54 (for the dragonov) different from 7.62x54 ball? haven't played since 1.2

[primal nimbus]

Haven’t tried 54ball

[cobalt marsh]

its the same caliber, but its only for the pkm and the mosin. The svu and svd can be upgraded to shoot it, but you sacrifice the penetration upgrade and it also causes greater wear

[terse ravine]

does the dnipro with the 7.62 conversion use ball or the normal version?

[cobalt marsh]

The svd and svu now shoot 762x54 high quality be default

ball

the high quality version is the new "normal" 762.54

hopefully that makes sense. It was confusing for me also at first

[edgy shell]

I can’t get over how good the cutscenes are in this game. Easily the best I’ve ever seen

[cobalt marsh]

Barrel lightening is probably better. Its already accruate enough. But either is good

[ruby gale]

I went for accuracy, thing is a laser beam

[abstract thorn]

Zone kit is going to be hell on earth

[bleak moth]

Question. Is the stalker taking the cap off a button or the needle in the animation?

For using any syringe

[noble wolf]

A lot of people were complaining for infinite stamina and carry weight. I advocated that I still wanted some challenge lol.

Just got 80k for returning a Tourist's Breakfast 🥞

[misty salmon]

Do you guys think an ingame modding system may be added to Xbox within the next year or two?

For stalker

[noble wolf]

Did modding not get added to Xbox?

[misty salmon]

Dunno, haven’t been on in a while

[shell flax]

Guys, they literally just added mods to Xbox with 1.5

[noble wolf]

They just released modding yesterday and I thought it was for pc and xbox

[misty salmon]

I haven’t been on in like a few months my fault damn

[noble wolf]

Idk about PlayStation though, doesn't seem like Sony is a fan of mods for most games

[ruby gale]

Xbox does have a mod browser but there's pretty much nothing on it rn, it'll probably be awhile but hopefully its not a starfield situation

[pure ice]

The fighting ingame is better then before^^ really like it but still a pain that Q and E are for items x,x The Remapping to Y and C and worked... (german Layout) Y / Z (eng layout) arn´t work anytime y,y So I can hold for Quick ² but Quick ^1 dont work x,x.... But still I love to see the Zone like this^^ Edit: Visuall

[noble wolf]

Anyone experiencing flying bodies? Lol

[oak junco]

Sony sucks for modding wish they'd relax

[noble wolf]

Sony imo is turning into Nintendo swinging their one-trick pony and not caring about fans all that much. How many rerererere releases of The last of us can we get? I swear it's more than Skyrim has released

[ruby gale]

Yeah the last patch seems to have made it so corpses launch

[unreal basin]

So are there any parts for the Three Line Rifle or is the reflex the only thing it gets?

[frosty heart]

yes, in some fire fights, I've had the bodies fly after dying to a bullet about 3 times

[noble wolf]

That's one bright light.

[split tusk]

I’ve been having some entertainment with the Ragdoll effects lately. For some reason idk why when headshot with skiffs pistol the occasional npc will fly 14 meters into the sky. Now I’m not mad it’s hilarious

[oak junco]

There is a PU scope aswell

[unreal basin]

Ok

[river chasm]

It has the PU by default

[vast tartan]

uhhhh the anomoly got them

[unreal basin]

Ok, Load bearing vest or another Artifact Container for my Merc Suit?

[split tusk]

Spring powered ammo got it

[sharp gulch]

known bug, everyones enjoying it now

[split tusk]

I figured lol

[primal nimbus]

I want them to keep it

[primal nimbus]

Its like CS2 when they had ragdoll bodies lol

[light crag]

can who me sec help

[primal nimbus]

What

[unreal basin]

I still Burers should be limited to how much ammo is in the guns they pick up

[light crag]

I'm at Duga where you have to plant the bombs but I get killed all the time when I go out

[primal nimbus]

Can I know more on how you die?

[light crag]

I will be shot immediately if I leave the tube without looking at Snapper

[unreal basin]

Uh, just talked to Varan and theres just two Burers chilling outside

[light crag]

@charred nova @meager crag

[unreal basin]

Make that 8 Burers, oh thank goodness they weren’t hostile for some reason

[proper flame]

I know its only been a day but why the hell is there only four mods lol

[edgy shell]

Cause it takes at least 24 hours to download

[sleek cave]

How many mods are out on console rn

[lusty lynx]

5

[primal nimbus]

Reskin kharod to acr mod when?

[unreal basin]

I’m up to 16 burers wandering around nonhostile at Varana place?

[meager notch]

Performance is still shit lol

Now bodies fly to the sky when you kill them with a head shot

[unreal basin]

Is noone else encountering the friendly burers?

[primal nimbus]

I like that

[meager crag]

[scarlet pilot]

Has anyone else encountered around 6 burers at the “Plant” Location in garbage that don’t attack?

[unreal basin]

Welp, negotiations with Varan destabilized very quickly due to a pack of 18 Burers deciding to introduce themselves

I’m guessing A-Life is gonna be a little buggy but 18?

[golden gulch]

I hope at least half of them drop loot?

[rough island]

good s*** GSC mozin is beautifull finaly got my combat rifle of choice and its fanomanel

[noble wolf]

I'm tired of artifacts glitching and unveiling only once then staying invisible permanently

[crystal bison]

Vro canat spill

[rough island]

huh

[primal nimbus]

Phenomenal
