Yes, young Skywalker.
I got one better, the M134 which is lighter and could potentially be handheld
Quick let’s add a bunch of CAG high speed weaponry to the game about starving homeless dudes
Or a SAW
I just said, most likely it would be a weapon that only the C-Con/The Group/Whatever Board would field. The only way you'd ever see it in the hands of regular stalkers and in trader's inventories would be as salvage from altercations with Monolithians or another similar group.
You should just go play tarkov instead
Sure, but attach enough Goldfish and the M61 is light too. 😏
What theme though? Its a battlefield, I would expect it to have popular guns as well.
I still dont think the G11 makes sense
And the rest of the Zone does? 😆
Because if you were going into a battlefield you would bring what has the most compatible ammunition and parts availability
And I'm just saying that its presence could easily be justified and explained in the game's universe.
Not really
Jesus Christ...
Yeah, dude. Really.
Tell me how exactly does Tarkov make more sense with guns like the MP7 than in Stalker? 😄
Let’s bring a ton of stupid bs into the zone so that we can be cag! Vs what makes sense with the lore and setting
Literally your only limiting factor is “Ukrainian sense of imagination”.
Jack, if you’re still here, you got that brick wall talking gif?
Isn't Tarkov where PMCs are paid unlimited money to fight a war?
Makes sense in the setting and lore
Thanks boss
Anyways, y'know what we actually need?
My name fixed.
Not even Ukrainian, from the beginning GSC has included non-Ukrainian and non Eastern Bloc/Soviet weapons in the games.
We need the L85 back
Right, and it doesnt in Stalker? A place where PMC's like Ward, the Military and well funded Mercenaries are commonplace?
That works. SUSAT is a sight for sore eyes.
Done
THANKS, LION! 😔

Y'all are real haters, NGL. 😔
No, thats just in a survival standpoint, but we do have shops that supply ammo if necessary but I do get your point. Id like to at least maybe see a Uzi, or a TP9 added in as a second choice other than the M10 Gordon
😄
The more you fight it, the harder they troll you
Oh, even better.
You mean the entire other side of the world that has longer history and culture than me?
I’m almost positive these folks could come up with a reason for any of these guns.
I’d rather the devs focus on adding the guns from the older games, than a obscure rifle that literally only one faction in 2 would use only in the end game
I just want my [STOC Old Guard] back...
And I got it, so that helps...till Jack plays around again.
True
We do still need an equivalent of that weapon in S2. Not saying we need to bring it back but we need a Western/NATO gun that fits in the same tier as the AKS-74U.
Fuckit, give us an Arisaka type 99 😄

Truthfully I’m just waiting for my Nickname lmao
I mean, the Gauss Rifle is only used by one faction...
You expect mods to not abuse their permissions? Tsk, tsk 
I would expect no less
Aboosers!
From CP2077? I didn’t even like most of those guns.
I only used a Nue?
What we need first and foremost are pistols. Seriously, there's barely any of them
Its the Japanese Ww2 infantry rifle 😂
CP2077 is also the game where effective damage is the same across all guns due to only changing the RoF (and the damage being tied to it).
Specifically nine mil
He said Arisaka not Arasaka
And again, for weapons that wouldn't be exclusive to the Monolith or another shadow organization-backed faction, the Zone's black market should allow for literally any weapon in the world to show up there.
More 9×19 pistols
Oh. Nah.
WWII guns aren’t my thing.
add lead pipe melee weapon
Real
Your no fun
Don't tell me you you don't like the Stg 44...
9x18mm and 9x19mm, just like in the Trilogy
Broken vodka bottle as weapon: D
You're no fun either!
hell yeah
We already have the Fort/tavor and Carmel, add the Jericho easy peasy
My whole point. Add the Uzi, TP9, Etc etc hah
I don’t think WW2 weapons are cool. Blanket statement.
Counterpoint, you like the 1911 😄
I despise the 1911.
Man just said the Stg 44 is uncool... 😔
How about both? I agree though, we really need more pistols. We had like...9 or 10 in the original trilogy.
We also need some 9x19 pistols that aren't uniques. Where's my Walther P99 and Beretta M9 GSC?
Yeah, but in the Zone? No, thanks
It’s a trophy gun. Pop-idol gun.
It uses a one off ammo type
No, I know; he just said WW2 weapons are uncool, so I had to...
That you’d never get in the zone
Hell, where are all of the Fort pistols? We're in Ukraine for God's sake!
Return the Trophy Gun fr
AKM-47/2, my beloved
True
Alright then, put in a SIG so it can fire itself off and murder Skif halfway through a cutscene 😂
I said I don’t believe they are cool.
I didn’t attack you for liking them.
That works.
I didn’t ask for a SIG, dawg.
Scar gets domed mid sentence
Well, we've got the Mosin, that's a WWII gun.
I said M9.
Relax, I'm not attacking you either. It's humour.
It was a funny comment tho 😄
I guess.
NGL, I'd love the SG552.
Fn fal
Yes, this
Or a more modern equivalent/replacement if GSC feels like it.
Real
FAL is tried and true.
We do need more .308 love
Too much of a right arm for the wrong side.
Tavor 7 I ask once more
G3. Or G3/SG1.
How common is the Galil actually?
Heh. Heh. K2
You can buy them easily in the US, if that means anything
Any weird and obscure/failed prototype guns we'd want to see? I've already suggested the H&K G11 and the Pancor Jackhammer.
Probably very, considering IDF's prior weapon?
Microgun.
Uncultured swine
I mean, I'm no gun expert, but from what I've heard, it's a solid weapon
IKR? 😆
Caliber already exists in the game as well
Yea, I wouldn't mind the 'heavy' variant from Counter-Strike.
Wasn’t there a whole pissfit over this at one point?
You like the AK but hate it’s grandfather? I sense a disturbance in the force
Some dude thought miniguns were LMGs
I'll always be a champion for a 6000 RPM rotary auto-cannon.
Stuff like what I'm suggesting would be DLC additions or something. I'm with you on putting the focus on filling out the gaps in the current arsenal.
“They were used in crushing the samurai!”
“Bro. Gatling guns aren’t LMGs”
6000rpm rotary engine instead
NGL, more like elder brother, considering the time-period.
Give us the 20mm hand-held auto-canon from F.E.A.R..
I don't mind that, but you can't shoot bullets from this. So...we need a gun.
OICW when?
True….
Reason: Bad word usage

Owned.
May your name be shuffled again
NGL, now I want a Derringer.
Btw guys
My leatherman crunch finally arrived
Hey, Wolf's gotten me too. So...got to cope.
Oof
Reason: Bad word usage
It’s a bit rusty
Gimmicky
Ouch.
But like I said, give the combatant a unique look besides a cerakote/paint job. It’s a Ward gun for gods sake, go full ape with it
Everyone's talking cool guns, so...why not something like that as well, eh?
Wolf likes to DM me...
I don’t accept DMs unless I friend the person
Well, what about a lever-action?
I have DMs and friend requests fully disabled.
I mean, it makes sense for the Zone
M1895
Perhaps not when it comes to the caliber except for that one Jack just mentioned, but not a lot of them were made
No problems with that, but considering how Skif takes ages to work his weapons, I'm wondering how fast he'll work the lever.
Is that...a scope?
Yes
The vast majority of them were made in 7.62x54r
It’s a 5x Winchester scope
I'd love a lever action, but I can't help but feel like it might not fit. They're just so deeply tied to the Old West, at least here in the US, what kind of association do lever-actions have in Eastern Europe?
Just that not a lot of them were made
Damn, I love that thin pipe. Count me in (as long as the lever can be worked fast).
That thin-ass pipe is 5X?
Yup
Thanks bro 
Yea, but like...compared to modern cylinders of scopes...that one is so thin. And honestly, I like it.
I'd say that's a decent number. How many AN-94s, Grozas, Vintorezes/VALs, and F2000s were made in comparison?
They have super simple optics too
It’s just a cross
Me like. Make this an option for other guns too.
I'm liking it more and more.
To be fair, we've got extremely new weapons in the Zone as well. + with there being hunters in the Zone, it makes sense why they'd want weapons like these
Individual reload, decent fire rate, accurate
TOZ-34 being under-used... 😔
so.... what have i missed in the half a year since this game came out update wise
Fair enough. And I don't want to be a hypocrite, I did just insist that you could justify the G11 and Jackhammer showing up in-game.
See? This is the scope we need on every sight. Screw fancy reticles.
We've got the framework/base for actual offline A-Life now.
Well they are extremely fragile apparently
Yeah
neat. i might doa new playthrough rn
Well, I mean the reticle itself; I would take a more robust scope.
Why those 8x scopes were only issued to marine special operations units
TBF, it makes sense; back then, it wouldn't be as mass-produced as today.
NGL, isn't the Storm X8 scope basically the same in S2?
Maybe wait for 1.6 to drop, there's supposed to be even more stuff with that one, possibly even NVGs.
We're also going to get an engine upgrade at some point too; 5.5.4 or maybe even 5.6 thought that version isn't confirmed.
No
Oh yeah, and Binoculars are coming at some point too.
damn my game wont even boot up keeps giving me error
Doesn’t remotely fit the setting
Did you have mods installed?
none
Unreal tools is a mod btw
ohhhhh
And it doesn’t work anymore
So, the Commandant rifle Korshunov gives ya, you have to kill all the Ward at the spot Spark sends you too the first you meet them to get it I’m assuming?
Well it doesn't work anymore, so get rid of it.
oh
Reason: Bad word usage
i dont even remember where mods folder is bruh
If only that 8x scope from CS could be used on a hunting shotgun 
If only they had OXA's modularity... 😔
NGL, we already had that mission with the unusable scope in CS or something didn't we? 8X scope but the TOZ-34 never had a rail and the scope was merely decorative.
Nah it’s a modern 8x
Those tube scopes are from the interior war period
No, I mean functionality and reticle...it's a simple scope.
Oh joy, I keep forgetting that a military respawns at the northern checkpoint in Lesser Zone
Yeah, that's the one I'm mentioning
I believe the TOS-34 was called "Hunting Rifle" in CS, but I'm not sure if the real life model is able to have a scope attached
Probably not, but we're in the Zone...could just get a rail installed.
Strengthen internals, load it up with high-powered sabot rounds and you got peak!
Gimme! NGL, could also use this in the Gauss Rifle for insane results.
so is there a new mod thats like uetools or?
man do any of yall miss the game survarium? was made by some devs from stalker
i miss survarium alot but they are atleast making a new game soon called the forest or some sht
Technically it does though I’m sure it’s not tungsten
I liked the concept of it, the gameplay, less so
I actually liked the division in faction playstyle, for what that mattered in the game
Like, Fringe Settlers being the anomaly protective duders and the Rennaisance Army being the typical bullet protection lads and with Scavengers and Black Market being lighter versions of those
mhm that was neat
i played survarium alot man i still miss it to this day
Same-ish
kinda yeah. i never bought any mtx guns or anything but i was still good at the game
Sure, but with enough velocity, it doesn't matter.
Ok, is the console version of Better Ballistics x QoL bugged? I’m getting one tapped by regardless of body armor or where the shots even hit me
Just got one tapped by PM shot that grazed me while at full health
Mods haven’t been getting update on console so probably
Joy
Guess I’m not “stealthing’ the first Spark mission with a Dragnov today
The Zone likes it quiet
Unless it doesn't
In which case, it doesn't
You know how mood swings can be
You sure it's not HoC in general? 
I still use that combo.
I’m running a Falcon, and I only get nervous under sustained fire.
But yeah. Things ain’t been getting updated.

@shrewd needle the fuck is happening with you man
Hahaha all I could see in the log is mod abuse on you
Who made this old guard thing btw?
@meager crag @charred nova
Lion did, that day.
Jack...he's constantly messing around with me and the others are adding to it. 😔
Jack hates me...so much... 😆
@shrewd needle I’ve been playing stellaris and the game is awesome. Just wanted to say thank you for the recommendation
What are you struggling with? There’s a lot of intricacies for builds
Well, I'm not exactly sure how to best use the Tuskgor Spear tbh. The push attack cleave is pretty good, but the stamina drain makes sure you can't really use that a lot. That and the heavies aren't all that great against Elites tbh. Tried it on both Mercenary and Huntsman, but I'm not having a lot of success
The heavies being so weak is kinda weird considering the H1 can be held for as long as you want
Come over here jack
I didn’t change it this time
Let my guy alone
I’m dead ass
Hi dead ass! :)
Well you are going to get weapons that excel better at hordes and some better at single target. If ur looking for a solid universal option the sword and mace is the best for that
Or greatsword
Crimson is assembling a new band ig?
Stoc old guards 
Doesn't guards means jannies too

But I'm asking for advice for the Tuskgor Spear specifically 
My personal favorite is the great hammer on merc because ur heavy cleaves hordes and light does a shit ton of damage and penetrates armor
True, Great Hammer do B a classic
ehm
Ah it mainly excels at crowd control. Spamming the heavy and poking the elites.
Well, i believe I do
Not as much as Elven Spear tbh
There are definitely better crowd control weapons out there
But I do wonder how to best use the Tuskgor Spear
Again? 😔
I totally give up.
Hey, glad you liked it, NGL.
Merc
Talents: more the merrier, smite-(the weapon is great for procing this)
Mainstay can be taken instead of this if you want better horde clearing, reikland reaper, blade barrier and walk it off
I use that for Great Hammer instead kek
You want more stamina regen, attack speed and crit
I'll restore it
Stamina Regen is an issue here, because neither Merc nor Huntsman have a stat for that
You're welcome 
NGL, that is 'based'.
Not as based
Hey, thought matters. Some day, you'll get those A2A missiles. 😏
Yeah you’ll only have necklace and trinkets available for that
Not enough tbh 
Okay, what about Helborg's Tutelage with Tuskgor? And maybe Second Wind?
Strike Together to buff the others?
Don't believe I would identify as anything other than me
all flaws included
Best choice. Though A2A missiles still help.
Think of the possibilities
Maybe a MARV?
Warhammer?
This would be viable for more survivability yeah. But at the end of the day there’s just better options 
Tuskgor has got to be good for something 
Fair, fair. 👍
I miss C&C 
Never to late to start playing again, though.
Basically just smiter
Hmm, Enhanced Training?
Does the Cleave benefit from Limb-Splitter or is it good enough already?
I know Tuskgor Push Attack and H2 have Tank Cleave
Yeah that could help with the stamina problem
You really don’t need limb splitter tho
You have enough cleavage with ur sweep. It would be more optimal to take more the merrier for more damage
Everyone loves some good cleavage 😏
Wouldn't say no to upgrades hehe! Having A2A missiles would change a lot of things and there is no arguing otherwise

Dood! 😆
I have a bit of a question I’ve had stalker 2 on Xbox since launch. I went to launch it today and I’ve lost all my progress. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game and my progress is gone. I had eight days of progress and I’m not sure what to do.
You can only find saves manually in files on pc unfortunately so once a save file is lost on console you can’t really do anything about it besides check if there’s anything in the games reserved space & ensure it’s updated to its latest patch
Thanks for the help. I’ve tried quite a few things. I might just have to restart again, which is a pain.
I had to aswell on my Xbox. But it’s not as bad as it could be due to how well you can mix the gameplay up
Yeah, very true. I’ve beat the game twice and had two separate slot files with quite a few hours on both which is why I’m a bit disappointed. I suppose I’ll just have to work my way back up to where I was but the biggest thing I’m kind of down about is the RNG for the artifacts, especially the legendary ones.
Took me a while to get them
Agreed, that is quite a bummer. I only had the Thunderberry so not as bad for me but I hope you obtain them in short notice. Best of luck to you stalker 
Tried it, but it doesn't work for me tbh
Feel like there's a better way to use it
But how exactly, I don't know
@weary hedge see you around my friend
Did you set all the traits on weapons and such?
Yeah
Well you aren’t able to optimize that weapon nearly aswell as some of the others so ur going to have to suffice with mid
Nuh-uh
I will figure out how to best use it
I found a use for Sword & Shield
If that's possible, it's definitely possible for Tuskgor Spear

Do you dabble in battle wizard? She’s fun to mess around with
Sword and shield is also meh
In due time, but yeah, I did fully level her
It's decent with Grail Knight and Virtue of Heroism
Grail knight can make just about anything put in enough work to suffice
You can make ur burning status effect pretty damn good. It’s satisfying
Fair enough 😂
Definitely not. Everyone’s fun to play
I thought it was just programmed like that at first, but I got the compass at the Ribs on first try, and another one on the next hunt in the same anomaly. For a legendary artifact, the compass is surprisingly common for me.
How much do you think a compass would go for outside of the zone?
Hypercube would probably go for a fat stack considering its flavor text
Not that much, seen how artifacts don't work outside the Zone anymore as per HoC's lore
So it's nothing more than just a souvenir
Still a lot, just not as lot as an artifact would've
In the original trilogy artifacts would fetch a small fortune
Man, whoever thought this retcon was a good idea should've been fired 
Since medical artifacts for example could be used to cure cancer
No, you're getting the lore wrong
If you give the scientists at Jupiter the Oasis, Freedomers say that the scientists are working on a medicine to cure cancer
Firefly, said to bring people back from the dead.
But I don't think the description mentioned cancer, TBF.
Exactly, it doesn't
Although its abilities are impressive
Not that it matters now with the retcon
TBF, since it heals the person, maybe it just fights cancer by out-healing it? Wolverine-style.
Not that the radiation helps, but...eh...
Speculation, so we don't know
It doesn’t say they don’t work, they’ve got a shelf life
I'm hearing multiple conflicting sources
Very short one, considering Skif's ran out of energy pretty fast...and that's an 'alpha'.
Even the flavor text on multiple artifacts mentions they’re sought out by a bunch of different industries
The entirety of S2 is in conflict with itself... 😔
So yeah, the general idea is that artifacts do work outside the Zone, but yeah, have a very short limited lifespan
But SurDno also told me they're using an artifact in space apparently?
Hypercube is wanted for space travel
Ah, I'll look into the description for that
I think the life span just depends on the artifact
Just get a way through going to the generators and back without using any mods
This is another.
Used in water purification, so I presume that's outside...since all the in-Zone water is irradiated as hell.
See, this is actual proof
While the Hypercube was potentially good for something, this describes an actual application outside the Zone
Plasma is also explicitly mentioned as being sought after by defense contractors
I feel like the delays or miscommunications really messed with the game and its development
There's also this which MIGHT be a bit problematic from the irradiation.
I don't have others right now with such real-use descriptions, but...yea.
Depends. If an artifact loses its power, does it also lose the radiation?
Truthfully I think people just took Herman’s opening comments about artifacts as the worst outcome: I.e they burn out in a day
Or is it just a radioactive twisted stone at that point?
That's a good question; Skif apparently held the alpha in his bare hands (even while active), so...
Skif also doesn’t exactly have much to live for
That's the main question...along with the fact that would it really be desirable as jewellery if it wasn't active?
'Cause Skif's rock looks like a jewel till it dies and then looks like crap (as expected).
Sure, but doesn't mean he'll willingly irradiate himself (and you certainly don't start the game with radiation poisoning).
So either the alpha is one of those 'weird' artifacts that don't emit radiation...or, well, GSC screwed up any coherence in the artifacts.
Yeah kek
So, in case it does lose its power, it might just turn grey or something
Of course, we've only seen this happen to the Alpha artifact though, so we don't know how that would look on other artifacts
‘Weird’
A lot of artifacts don’t emit radiation in 2
I'm guessing the whole 'artifacts are eternal' is kind of true with the 'Scanners' and 'recharging' being late additions to the story.
Weird ones and the anti-radiation ones. What else?
Hell, even the Jellyfish emits radiation now...like...that's next level.
Wrenched iirc
Wrenched emits radiation, AFAIK.
It got changed
HoC is just official fanfic and you can't change my mind about it 
Most of it...some parts still make sense.
In an update?
I don’t have the energy to try brother. I’m just here to enjoy the games.
when is the stalker 2 abridged cut dropping
Yes, quite a few got changed in recent updates
See, this is why I like the trilogy; sure, things changed between SoC and CS/CoP, but at least things were mostly consistent.
S2 ruined that.
Yeah, just enjoy the game and don't bother with the lore 
I enjoy the lore. I think talking about it is tedious.
And in case you do care about the lore, just look at it from a HoC-only perspective, not a STALKER-as-a-whole perspective
Can agree...#s2-lore-discussions got tedious, NGL.
Most of it from my OCD, the rest from...everything else.
After all day working on it I think it’s looking pretty good now
I’ve always done this with game series with big gaps between releases
my dad has a wrench like that but his is all banged up lol
payed like 250 for that one and its fairly well used
people want nearly 800 for a new one

I didnt know they cost that much
well its a special leatherman tool
a regular one is like 30 bux
yeah my pops has an identical looking one
oh
he buys like snap on tools and stuff, I know his toolbox is huge and worth alot lol
snap on cost so much unless you're able to get some kinda of discount
idk if he gets a discount but hes been a customer with them for YEARS
school im going to you gotta get snap on tools but while your a student you get a 50 percent discount and up to like 75 on tool sets from the school
are snap on tools expensive?
my dad got mad when I dropped his wrench thing once lol
it was like a huge socket wrench thing
if the next best thing is 250 bux
the snap on is 500 or more
yeah he got mad because he said i could of busted the teeth or whatever where the socket goes
damn
probably a torque wrench
if you drop a torque wrench it will need to be recalibrated
If you drop a screwdriver, my dad will get super drunk and… Oh..
no wonder dad was mad lol. i dont know about tools but I do know he loves them and now I know why.
yah you gotta send them out to have it done
when your dealing with anything expensive the idea of trying to self calibrate your torque wrenches is a really bad idea
why is that
cus if you didn't do it right you could snap something in say an engine
and now your out potentially several 1000 dollars
Anomaly 2 when?
ohhhh
i didnt know better, cause he was even more pissed when i said its just a tool and to relax
-# no son thats not just a tool
i mean it is
How ironic
trying to build anything expensive with out a torque wrench is like trying to build a bomb in total darkness
The means to our future, halted by our own minds
yeah no thanks
like
the bolts that hold on say cam shafts
are a LOT more fragile then they may look
But man I do love this thing
Such a marvel of engineering
men and their tools lmaoooo
oh also what other roles could we recieve in this server? im just curious.
ouuuu
Other than that, just rank roles
@weary hedge I seen you talking about VT2 earlier, do DT aswell do ya?
I'm gonna cry, updated stalker last night been ready to play all day at work, get home to another update 😭 maybe Tommorrow 😂
Uhhh I'm in the labyrinth and just heard something roar...... What did I just hear?
Sorry that was me, I’ll try to be a little quieter next time
Deploy the twenty chimera
Is it a deep roar or more of an angry cat kinda noise?
Deep
Is the Pontoon bridge not laid out on the Spark path?
Price goes up labyrinth
You know it 😂
Can a mutant other than the bloodsucker do the roar that stuns you?
Ok so it's just a bloodsucker
Sanity sucker.
What sanity?
Your sanity, trying to fight it without getting frustrated due to all the stun-locks.
Again what sanity?
Controllers have a slam that also slow you.
Point taken.
Wait they aren't always invisible? I just looked over and saw it running across a hill completely visible
Looks good
If you want to see bloodsuckers in their natural habitat. There is one currently bugged in rostok. Come into the facility from the south west. When you get to the explorable building next to the underground parking. You will see it run a path towards the freedom base. Not a solid bloodsucker farm though.
Nah I just saw one in it's natural state running around looking for me as I put 3 7.62 rounds in it's head
Hey, i played last 8 months ago with a litte balance mods. I was thinking that after waiting for some patches it might be good moment to play again. Is it good compared to back then or should i wait more?
wait for 1.6 (hopefully its a good update )
I used to have troubles playing the game at launch but I haven't ran into any issues now after 1.5
Is there a date for 1.6 tho? Performance wise my pc was able to handle it well on day 1 so mostly bugs were issue, now the question what will it bring? Is there some info regarding that?
And thanks Bandbm, also nice to hear you don't have them anymore :D
next month if you huff on that copium pack
i feel like shit
Damn... Hard mode 
chiefing that hopium cig
there's a list for what they hope to deliver before the end of 2025, top of it is upgrading to ue 5.5, if they are prioritizing that I would doubt we'll get an update next month.
then again the list is long enough that if they realistically wanted to try and get that out the door even before the end of q1 26 they will have to be damn brisk about it.
Well i gave cyberbug 2 years and went from falling out of textures twice a day to full immersive gameplay.
Since i love stalker series i can also wait a lot there. I love this games climate. And there aren't many like that
So i just hope it will also get even better and immersive as times goes <3
I do hope stalker 2 ends up more polished than cyberjank
No longer cyberjank tho, but i hope for stalker 2 getting better too
Oh it absolutely still is. It's just barely functional now which is good enough for some.
while I'm not particularly fond of the piss and vinegar crew on this channel, I do hope no major features have to be excused off stalker 2 by the end of it
funnily enough one of the biggest contention points regarding stalker 2 is the lackluster background simulation, something that was promised in cyberpunk, was completely thrown off the side, and everybody promptly forgot about lol
Everyone have their own opinion, still lets both wish for the best for those games. At least it only gets better, not worse :D
Stalker 2 was good in the beginning parts of the game but since sirca ive been bored and unfulfilled
Gameplay wise, I clusterfuck with 2. Storywise, thats kinda hard to pick between the OGs.
2 years and Cybercrap still aint good
Stalker 2 bros, its not looking good
I think it really picks up after sircaa personally
but that could be 'cause I've done the starting areas so much I'm just tired of them.
the only problem I have post sircaa (particularly if you choose ||noontide||) is that you have very very few hubs to sell your shiz to, especially on the eastern side of the map
||we are lucky we even received stalker 2 given GSC’s past||
Lucky to suffer
"past" here meaning "there was no gsc because they disbanded in 2014" I'm assuming.
That bad huh?😂
Money problems and they could’ve easily checked out
no wait they disbanded earlier I think
- Their studio got revamped 2014
Already bad enough that the game is used in so many videos how to not make a game
That’s just you being a social media sheep
yes was just reading
If they are right i mean you cant really defend this game
some brie with that sir?
I can tho. It’s a privilege to experience games. I don’t expect anything
to me it's wild how you'd dislike something and still be whining about it (bonus points if you claim you do it out of some abusive sense of love)
its not even place like the sahara people can experience better games even if its "only" GTA SA
Too many people let others opinions drive their own
nono I just mean like, I dunno, there's a lot of games I personally dislike. A lot of games I've gotten pissed off at even, but I'm not roaming their discord like "nnnggh this game so baddd💢💢"
I just move on to stuff I enjoy
Right lmao. You don’t see me going into peoples houses and telling them how to clean it😂
Its one thing to just say the game is bad its another to be delusional to say that it can be defended. If i pay for it i can have a opinion like giving the opinion that we are lucky to have the game.
you joined this discord over 8 months ago
And its objectively bad no point to defend it
at this point the only reason you are around here is just to piss on the parade of people who may find the game enjoyable
And that makes less truth?
That’s great bro. I hope letting that off ur chest help validate ur opinion
No i am here to for the #pc-specs where we talk about PC stuff i just looked in here what people are talking about
okay, and I harbor a deep hatred for monster hunter wilds, but I'm on the monster hunter official server 'cause I like world
guess what channels I don't go to
I just said that we are luck to suffer this game or more i suffer cuz i paid and got dog water
look, it's your life man, you can waste it on being as petty as you want
I dont know and dont care just said we are luck to suffer
Tell me this when you buy food you didn’t enjoy. Do you whine to other customers and the cooks?
I'm just saying I find it wild that people waste their time on acting in a way that I find petty and spiteful
hopefully you'll reach a point in life where you'll see this less as righteous indignation and more like the absolute waste of everyone's time that it is.
Then i just said that this game is that bad that PC tech people take this as a bad game. Then @weary hedge said that i let my self influence too much. I just then said its objectively bad game thats it.
I preordered. I got the foot to my home and was left with it. I might also eat it at least even if i got the wrong thing
or it didnt taste how it should be if you want to be picky
oh no the guy with the clippit pfp is blaming companies for their mistakes as a consumer?
shock and horror
but yes I get it, you put the cart before the horse, therefore you are owed the horse you were sold on
I just said that people take this game as a bad game to make and that its objectively bad. Thats all. I mean i see you guys praising it to get the hopium up.
not really, I was about to say, I do love to talk how jank this game is, and I think about 50% of my convos here are about stuff that I think is really not good
Yes and i can say that the horse is dogwater cuz it can even carry something
I just don't see the point on being like "ugh this game so bad ugh so objectively bad ugh"
That’s where ur wrong. I enjoy the game for what it is. I don’t expect the game to make me foam out the mouth and tingle my brain for dopamine. Anything they give us going forward I am grateful for 😂
There's a difference between talking about stuff that's bad, and complaining about it
(and mind you, there's plenty bad with stalker 2)
Which of all the exoskeletons has the highest durability? what i mean by that is, which of the exosuit takes the longest time to degrade/break?
Diamond exo
YOu can do that i didnt deny you that you can have fun i just said its objecively bad what i hope you see it. YOu can even make out of the worst things good time. But the are still worst.
What happens if I have the Shah's mp5 when varan asks me to kill one of the leaders? Can I use it and say I killed Shah?
Yea thank you
shah's mate is completely independent from varan's quest
but you can kill the shah with it if you want yeah
You need his PDA
Welp looks like I'm killing varan cause I'm. Not doing a bandits dirty work
oh you mean using it as proof of killing him sorry, no, you can't show the shah's mate as proof of killing the shah
Yea
You’d get double crossed by varan anyway
boy this varan guy sure loves sitting next to a bunch of explosive barrels huh
right next to a bunch of unguarded windows too
This community is not your echochamber. Negative opinions have their place here even if they are very much a minority. In any channel or social media that the devs might be monitoring, it's important to remind them that many people are still pissed with their work so they don't grow complacent
That was my plan too XD
'fraid durability is not listed, but, there's a list of every other stat on the (vanilla) exos here:

Yall I made a pet in game
Do you get a kick out of being wrong?
Yeah nvm the poltergeist killed me the second i stepped outside 😔
don't laugh at my demise 😭
So, like… Not cause you died.
But more so I was interested in where “I have a pet” was going.
Then it turned into “Poltergeist smoked me”
It’s got a.. Funny ring to it.
Electric one sent an electric orb inside after me
I was expecting like a glitched out dog, or a boar.
Not a poltergeist.
It was sorta just..floating around my head
So, yeah.
Some poltergeists can spawn anomalies.
Literally on your head.
I am aware..many run-ins with the electric guy I blink and I'm shocked to death
I was in Wild Territory, getting chased down by a Pyrogeist that was like two stories up, spamming me from a window. I hate how cheesy the AI is.
pyro?
Yeah. So. They shoot fire anomalies.
The gouts of flame?
Oh
All of a sudden, boom.
Lava plume in your face.
I forgot they existed. I haven't seen one since like...near the start
I’ve only seen two, so far.
Man
"hey guys I made a fr-- CONK"
I don't know any of the artifacts bro. what is a devils mushroom
guh... dang
I'm not gonna lie...forgot that part of the game
Oh yeah some artifacts are damn gorgeous
I jus be a menace and kill everyone
Split Rock? Is that one?
I found it in a Gravity Anomaly.
Looks adorable.
Murderhobo is never the answer.
money from all the stuff I sell tho 🤤
Until you kill too many of the wrong people, and no one wants to sell to you anymore.
wouldnt know, never was
Don’t shoot any of the Multicam guys unless its literally the blue guys or the guys with the olive colored multicam
-# They should honestly wear duct tape.
Okkkk:3
Also, don’t shoot the red colored guys too.
Forgot this bit:
If its gray multicam, shoot on sight.
taking damage while inside? thats weird.
Doing a story mission
There was an emission and when I went to press the button I kept taking damage
maybe it was glitched
Quick terminology question for y’all. Is it Tushkan or Tushkano?
I know it’s a dumb question but it’s genuinely bugging me.
Idk
These semi auto shotguns are the shit
They rip apart mutants with ease, they’re especially useful for the split second a bloodsucker uncloaks
Just shoot a bunch till it’s dead
Saiga 12 my beloved. AA12 when? 🗣️
attention, a hilarious joke
I mean the game takes place in 2021 so fun stuff
a man walks into a restroom, broken hearted
he came to shit, but only farted

Loners when they eat nothing but bread and canned food
It’s almost helldiving time.
For us Xbox folks.
Guys. The hour is nigh.
The Terminussy
The Automatussy.
The Illuminussy.
Destroy them all. For the Democrussy.
#📸┃screens_and_videos look at my harvest :3
Is the shadow of Chernobyl ending a wish granter induced hallucination
Cause in sircaa when strelok says he wants the zone to disappear he’s in the same place as he was in the SoC ending
he sharted, the end
Sledgehammer is my go to. Pump Shotguns are the way to go. Just gotta know how to aim. 😂
Stalker 2 is about a decade in the future so I would say yes the monolith is not real
yeah its confirmed by dalin
There’s 6 endings to soc
2 of which are “true” endings
7
None of the wish granter endings are canon, but you are down 3 of them in stalker 2
Understandable
You join C-con, or destroy them, or they let you hallucinate a bit before you die. The different hallucinations are functionally the same.
tasted like used tires
it's actually 2, either strelok dies or he doesn't
actually it's only 1, either you finish the game or you don't and you must finish the game to see the ending
actually it's only 1/3rd of an ending because there's 3 games to the original installments
There are 5 different variations to the Wish Granter scenario. It all depends on which one is the easiest to apply to the Player.
duga?
It is on the western side of the Zone, but that's too far.
ohh
it's that checkpoint on the east side of the bridge that connects malachite and chem plant
i need a bandit to snuggle up with
@ebon blade ain't it?
I guess I shouldn't name them before posting.
Huh I wonder which one I’m missing
wym
Save the picture and see the description name.
oh I never read that

I found it cause of that tower in the distance
whelp my time has come
goodnight little stalkers in my phone ❤️
i hope to rob all of you later
Is it just me or is full mod skif's pistol better than 90% weapons?
I havent played the game in like half a year but every time I launch it it opens for a second then crashes, tried verifying game files but it doesnt work does anyone know a fix
Will there be a faction update for stalker 2?
Guys I have question: I'm updating my PC from gtx 950 to rtx 3070 8gb. I have ryzen 5 3600 and 16gb ram. Can it run stalker 2 on 60fps with high graph settings.
not rpy but if u consider repair cost and ammo it is it also carried me half way into the game
Something along the way. Ammo is cheap / everywhere. Accuracy is better than most and makes me feel like using full autos is a waste of cash 
Why the F has this game spawned a merc squad that shots on sight, inside slag heap?
Why is this game just so f'ked?
And the worse part is, you can't draw your f'ing weapon until you walk pass the doors, in which time, your shot dead, and even if you do get a shot off, you got no fecking cover... Especially as the doors you just walked through lock shut, so you can;t get back inside.
Absolute joke of a game
I hope so
https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1mz9q6f/creating_stalker_of_my_dreams_hdr_project/ You guys seen this shit?
After the engine update, I'm sure it's possible to achieve one of the best photorealistic visuals videogames have seen
full auto is huge waste since they negate most of the damage in body in every stalker game i use sniper and saiga
Doubt that. Its not a huge update it will at most give a 10% FPS boost And thats if you are 50% of the time CPU limited.
Do you guys think female stalkers are more likely to attract bloodsuckers during their periods
Serious question
I think I would beat a female stalker to death with my bare hands
Well I know I would
"balkan death machine" mf get out edgy aah 😭 😭
I am the machine
Bro in chat: 😈 🐯 🐯 🦁
Bro in reality: 😺 😺 🐈 🐾 🥰 🥺
What’s your favorite beer

How many kids you got
1
What are you the Feds
Thats too little
None that I’m claiming I’d rather buy more beer
Boy or girl
A little lady
Are you a Minecraft YouTuber
Teach her to play stalker
Minecraft YouTuber behavior
Wait... are you trying to get me off-topic too?
Wow so cool and dark and deep and edgy goth black lungs 😈
How many kids you got juggy
Yes
Me in chat 😈 👺 👹
Me in real life 💪 😎 🤘
Any questions
Already asked
i once saw a kid lick the glass at a gelato store
Uh oh. Oh no.
Juggy. Are you poking the locals, again?
I would round house kick him
i wouldve drop kicked him but his parents were there
No some people just can’t handle my hardstyle swag
If they can smell then I would say yes
I would’ve drop kicked them too
I can’t dance. That’s for sure.
i dont want kids but the kids like me
Minecraft YouTuber excuse
huh
Ur a kid urself lil mf
No I’m a burly man
im not a minecraft youtuber??????
It’s a joke
Ur a balkan teenage boy, inherently unfunny and edgy emo
Ur the typa dudes to wear an edgy skii mask when going to the gym
Rawr.
Saucer of Milk, Table 2.
TODAYS THE DAY
Helldivers are now in the Zone!
I wish we could use Anomalies on these things.
I’m wearing a ski mask rn
Stalker why are you so mad
Also I’m not Balkan I’m Appalachian
gods country
Their profile unironically says “sigma”, it’s safe to disregard.
Im a sigma female
Cringe
Sigma this sigma that why don’t you hop off of instagram and start learning your instagrammar
Is juggy ipad kid
Ahw yeah, dive those hells
enough of that, back to stalker
Pause
Reason: Bad word usage
Reason: Bad word usage
Wolf is a picky eater. Yet, he never goes hungry.
Who do you think the chillest plug in the zone is
Nah
Just came here to say, a friend of mine was talking about how it would be neat to take the stock of an AK and put it on a VSS
He should never speak again
Now if we're talking about putting a VSS stock on a krink...
That would be ridiculous and I would be on board with that
Oh I threatened to cut his nuts off
A reasonable retort
He Threatened to hurt my favorite rifle, so I threatened to end his bloodline
Equal opposite reaction
absolutely newtonian
YES, embrace the absurd
What about putting a dragonuv stock on a regular AK
China called
I mean you gotta admit, the stock is part of what makes the VAL and SVD so attractive
Aesthetically I mean
Also the as Val has the wire stock
The vss vintorez has the thumb hole
I know, my mind got foggy
Svd S also looks better than your trad Svd
I loved the trad Svd until I got to
Shoot one
I’ll take the S any day
I just have a soft spot for the…thumbhole stock I guess? Idk what it’s actual term is
Then again I’m also left handed and have small hands
You would hate it then
Helldivers is sick.
But I don’t know where Inari is.
Wanna do the thing.
I don’t like helldivers
I am neutral on helldivers
I still love the Zone. But this shit hits different.
It’s just mid
Everything about it is perfect but the gameplay lmao
The gameplay is so uninspiring
Oh wow. A contrarian. So… Imaginative.
games only gonna be good when we tax all the Bugdivers out of the game
The guns just don’t feel good imho
Opinions are like buttholes friend, everyone has one, and they are all different
For people who call out “contrarians” for having “the wrong” opinion
Agreed
Because it’s my opinion that I am correct 100% of the time and I will never be wrong. Does that make me a bad guy

these exist to note
Oh, my bad.
I just got the game, and was trying to enjoy it. Fk me, i guess.
Bro cannot enjoy things unless everyone else does too
yhea,
Not at all, I’m looking forward to getting it myself when I do, however calling someone a contrarian for voicing their opinion is kinda…ehh
That’s exactly what i am saying word for word
Look, kid.
Juggy is a semi-pro rage baiter.
This is just how we deal with that guy.
So like. You might be right.
But uhhh. Maybe another time.
I don’t semi pro bait, I master bait
U suk at b8
Nuh uh
yhea except when I reach intk the screen i dont grab your ear
The way to deal with rage bait is to agree to disagree, maybe they are right, maybe they are wrong. It’s not your job to care either way
Thanks wolf
I say one thing and bro says I’m rage baiting
pussy
The way I deal with rage bait is I shoot them 37 times
I bet.
good
You wouldn’t get it
I bet.
I prefer to think of it as not my problem 
I don’t have to wait for battlefield 6 to come out because the world is my battlefield
I bet.
do note I always sincere in my hatred for consoles
may god guide their path
Nah consoles are dope as hell
If god is guiding my path, he needs to learn how to build a walkway, I keep tripping
He built you an escalator, it’s called miller lite
i recommend a bible, however, I fear you are too ilterate
Nah those without faith are cool too
Christians pagans and those without faith are all cool in my book
I married a witch so
Take a moment and re-read that friend.
ilterate 😃
I mean I was going to let him figure it out himself, but sure, take the fun out of it
Get off of instagram and learn you’r instagrammar
no, those are protestants
I wouldn’t be Protestant to a cold beer rn
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
How’s everyone doing today?
Does this mean I can throw rocks at my wife
Wawaweewa very nice
P good
If you mean get stoned with her, that’s probably fine
I’m like two weeks ahead so I’m chilling on discord and doing like one weld an hour
no Im not going to warn you
Both is good
Wawaweewa very nice
When do I get image perms
Hm?
70 levels in, when you get the no life role
Warn me for what?
Warn you that if you mess with the alpha bull you’ll get the alphas horns
😡
Neat
He’s a black hat hacker
you asked to be cast stones
Shiverin in muh timbers
Consider yer deck, pooped
Scallywag’s after meh booty
Going to a sea shanty polka party here in like a month it’s gonna be awesome
Gonna get absolutely hammered
Hey all, what are we talking about today?
luci said she wanted stones to be cast at her while juggy is maintaining good relations with Protestants
Oh yeah, let's see if this is still broken...
Okay wtf, why is the rank command suddenly not working?
BURN THE WITCH! BURN THE WITCH BURN! (She can read)
Isn't it sending you your rank in DMs?
for the last time I am not going to put you on the pike
It used to just show it to me right here in the chat.
it was annoying so we changed it
Well, that explains why I'm not seeing anything; I have DMs disabled.
-# yes, enable your DMs : )
Your so called Protestants are goth mommies

Isn't there a way to make your text tiny without making it semi-transparent or am I misremembering?
Nah I married one
If there is I don't know about it
hows the discord relation going for you
With my wife or with the 46 year old men

With my wife? Great she buys me guns for holidays
With the 46 year old men, not great. Bigger than mine
Building a new PC soon for Windows 10 EOL.
Bro
i hope your wifes boyfriends day is at least going well
Windows 11 turned my pc on and self installed
Me too
just keep using W10 on a Extended License for free
Hell no, that's just kicking the can down the road.
I literally walked in and my pc was on and I typed in my password and windows 11 was there, I hate it, it’s so bad, inherent downgrade in every way

yhea down the 5 year road
either that or just get a TPM2.0 module for what 10 bucks
hi
Have had zero issues in the instances where I have used Windows 11.
It looks bad and feels bad
You'll get used to it, just like everyone got used to XP, then got used to 7, then got used to 10.
I would change back but that’s a lot of effort
I barely get to play on my pc anyways
Parenthood?
Haha nope go shooting with the boys and concerts with the wife
Ah, other hobbies then.
they sell these for 10 bucks you dont need a new pc
And errands and blue collar work
I understand that, but I want a new PC. And I do actually kind of need one, pretty much all of my hardware is pretty out of date and I'd like to be able to play more graphically intensive games more comfortably.
very well then, send all the old parts to my address and I will help you with th new one 
Nah, this thing is probably just getting sent to an E-waste recycling center or used for spare parts.
My 3060 works well enough for my needs
