[ebon blade]

The last thing Dez told me was they were working on Stalker 2 as designed in 2011.

[feral horizon]

Is there a build of stalker 2 out there where strelok is still the protagonist?

[fervent island]

I guess that the development is complicated because S2 had two different plots, sooo, they must made an proper mod without copypaste everything and without delete interesting parts.

[ebon blade]

I was told SG rejected the S2 design in 2011 because it was too much Faction Wars and not enough like SoC.

[worn olive]

I hope we get to play the stalker 2 2011 someday from dezo

[fervent island]

I think that the plot of 2011 by Alexey Sityanov/Koan Podarok (one of the main writters of Oblivion Lost and the main writter of SoC) has an fight between Monolithians with the European Union on Pripyat.
I read that Alexey said that everyone on GSC liked the final plot time after of that Sergey announced the cancellation of S2, just a few sidequests are incomplete.

[obtuse veldt]

LADC did justice for unused areas tbh

Example the forest having an anomalous electro field that protects against emissions.

Countryside enormous and mysterious loot

[fervent island]

Well, these two are totally different apart of the geometry compared to the original levels.
Milrad and Deadmil just was supposed to be used for chase sequences on vehicles.

[obtuse veldt]

That's what the vehicle given after the lab and the heli pursuit did justice

[ebon blade]

Of course, all the people working on it are going to like what they were doing.
One thing few people seem to realize or appreciate is the great world financial collapse of 2008.
That is the same year Clear Sky was released. GSC released Call of Pripyat in 2009.
SG kept all the GSC Devs employed for almost 4 years after the 2008 collapse.
They seemed to be taking too long on S2, when the other three games came
out in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Almost 3 years later S2 was moving too slow.
It was not going in the direction that SG wanted and finances were not good.

[obtuse veldt]

As well how we meet Sin faction

[fervent island]

Honestly, i don't think that S2 would be released on 2012.

[obtuse veldt]

With all that graphic haul, and concepts they had.... It was going to be a dream

Not only to create a new engine would been a challenge

[worn olive]

Anyone else have a hard time seeing in stalker 2?

Sometimes the brightness is super low it seems

[fervent island]

If they just taked the first plot 2012 could be an good date.
Different maps between plots and that, by GSC S2 just was finished on a paper.

The engine was very incomplete on 2011 too.

[ebon blade]

Brightness will increase when you go inside (unless underground) and wil decrease when you return outside.

[hallow shadow]

My brightness issues were because I tweaked my screen setting to a different game, and muddled with my Xbox settings. And S2 settings.

Factory reset all my video settings, and only tweaked Stalker.
It’s a dream.

[fervent island]

I think that the engine of S2 Old Concept is much-more complete but, still incomplete.
Loxotron is making an great work tho, X-Ray 2.0 of Old Concept has more of 10k files.

[hallow shadow]

But it just seems like there’s excessive shadows. For all the light there is, these (admittedly amazing) shadows seem to be what’s crushing me.

The light bleeds through surfaces in a way I cannot describe, or mitigate.

[worn olive]

Yeah I know exactly what you mean

[hallow shadow]

I’m also highly allergic to the way the entire outdoors becomes nothing but a white wall, when aiming from indoors.

[worn olive]

Might just be unreal 5 cause I played silent hill 2 and had similar issues

[hallow shadow]

Like, unless an actual nuke went off in our faces… No exposure effect in the world should be like that.

[ebon blade]

You can always reduce shadows in your game settings. That will improve performance.

[hallow shadow]

Xbox only gets “Performance” mode.
Shadows is a PC tweak.
I’m jealous.

[lucid charm]

1.6 drops Monday or Tuesday?

[ebon blade]

Yeah, Consoles are like running a race with only one leg.

[ebon blade]

It's already Monday in Europe.

[hallow shadow]

Maybe Tuesday?
If I’m remembering the patterns correctly…
GSC will release a pre-download, Monday. The actual update would drop Tuesday.

I could be wrong. But, that’s my guess.

Either way. I can’t wait to test out these NVGs.
“Stalker 6, going Snork”

(Bravo-6, going dark joke)

[weary hedge]

Hopefully. Could be pushed out further again.

[hallow shadow]

Can’t wait to see the loot tweaks.
Can’t wait to see new mods populate.
I’m just effing pumped boys!

[hallow shadow]

Nuuuuu

[hallow shadow]

Bro. In En-Offtopic is a neat little fan video.
It’s like 15 minutes of pure fire.

[weary hedge]

The most recent announcement makes the release date seem solid so we shall see

[weary hedge]

Oh shi I’ll check it out

[hallow shadow]

It’s sick. Have fun.

[weary hedge]

Damn. That’s pretty cool. Makes you wish there is a modern stalker movie.

[hallow shadow]

I’ll never get over how hardcore these skyboxes are.

[lucid charm]

They just look so good

[fickle hill]

A sparker and a dutier

[weary hedge]

[ebon blade]

I like Spark except for their crazy leader.

[fickle hill]

Mr. Scer

[weary hedge]

Toast man

Scar is our crazy uncle

[fickle hill]

An artifact Barrer of a toast

[weary hedge]

A piece of toast, warm and hard to the touch. Its extraordinary properties can only be felt by those feeling other's hardships like their own. For everyone else, it's just an inedible slice of stale bread.

[hallow shadow]

I like the Chocolate Bar artifact.
It looks like a nail board.

[fickle hill]

It's more edible than the toast

[hallow shadow]

Hahahah! Really?

[fickle hill]

Looks like it

[hallow shadow]

Dang.
That’s wild. I couldn’t imagine attempting to eat either of them.

[fickle hill]

I am getting some iron with the chocolate

[weary hedge]

I’m curious how scars altered toast artifact came to be or if it’s just a reference to the "bread" meme from SoC.

Too bad it doesn’t do anything like streloks artifact

[fickle hill]

You can sell that toast to freedom for over 1 million coupons and you will see it on display

[hallow shadow]

Yeah man. Those are either nails, or the most magical shrooms I’ve ever seen.

[lucid charm]

I wonder how far I can get unmodded with a 74U, Mosin, and Debut suit

[weary hedge]

Sourdough is so yum

[ebon blade]

Dire Thicket

[lucid charm]

Hm?

I don’t understand

[ebon blade]

You asked how far and I gave you a location.

[weary hedge]

anything is possible with the right mindset

I remember my first playthrough of clear sky I completed the game with the sunrise suit and the quest rewarded vintar because I had no idea what the hell i was doing.

[hallow shadow]

I made it all the way through Swamps, on release with an OZK suit and AKS. Because I didn’t understand tiers.

It was hell.

Everything was so expensive. I also didn’t understand how I was being smeared by shotguns from further away than I could visualize.

This game has come a long way.

[weary hedge]

Oh for sure. I wish I could play stalker 2 for the first time again. It released so janky but I was so sucked in by everything that I couldve cared less how bad it was😆

I also remember being so confused about who the ward was. Literally just this big corporation showed up out of nowhere setting boundaries across the zone.

[shell flax]

Aren’t they mentioned once extremely offhandedly in CoP?

If I’m wrong… idfk Surdno hit me with a brick lmao

[weary hedge]

No ur probably thinking of strider and the noontiders. Ward was not mentioned. It was formed after the events of CoP.

[shell flax]

Ah

[subtle spindle]

i mean its been like 10 years since cop

a lot of things can change. the foundations for their eventual arrival in the zone were set up in the ending of CoP, since strelok helped sircaa become a thing

[weary hedge]

Exactly

[fervent island]

Not, just Spark it's mentioned as ISKRA (Spark in Russian).

[shell flax]

Ah

[ebon blade]

16 years to be more accurate.

[subtle spindle]

9 years it seems like

cop takes place in 2012 and stalker 2 takes place in 2021

the start date for stalker 2 was determined to be in 2021 since skif has a calendar for that year on his wall in his apartment

[ebon blade]

I was talking about when the game was released.
I did not realize you were talking about the story.

[subtle spindle]

understandable

[weary hedge]

Dawg.

[ebon blade]

I don't have any Spark memes or art. I wish I did.

[weary hedge]

Why is clear sky anime woman in ur camera roll?

[ebon blade]

I've got a huge collection of memes, art and other stuff.

[weary hedge]

Nice. This is a good one😆

[weary hedge]

What is your funniest stalker meme

[shell flax]

People who think anomaly is an official game

[weary hedge]

Those people aren’t real. They smoking on the copium pack

[lost wigeon]

Any news on the 1.6 drop?

[shell flax]

This week

[rancid drift]

Hey has Anybody received or gotten any news on their physical preorders?

[weary hedge]

supposedly the 23rd

[ebon blade]

I don't know. I have so many.

[lost wigeon]

Let us hope im ready for the nvgs

[ebon blade]

Me too. Hopefully when can buy it from a Trader.

[devout jolt]

I hope 1.6 changes will apply to those stashes already marked on my map

I saved up a bunch of them just for 1.6

[weary hedge]

Do we know if the nvgs are integrated, have to be upgraded in or something new?

[granite kelp]

How can I remove this latency in games without installing mods?

[weary hedge]

lol

[ebon blade]

That's a good question. I guess I assumed since they weren't in the game originally,
they would be a separate item like binoculars. However, all the previous games had
them as upgrades to armors, which would be a lot more work for the Devs to add.

[shell flax]

Stash teaser showed a new inventory slot so I’m assuming you just find/buy the different gens of NVGs and slot em in

[weary hedge]

Okay yeah that makes sense

[shell flax]

I’m hoping the gen 3’s you actually need to hunt down and not just buy em

[shell flax]

Main things im gonna be hunting are the Kora mag, NVGs and just getting me a vector early for my Spark playthrough

[weary hedge]

Nice

[shell flax]

Guerrilla faction? You bet your ass I’m getting me a stealth loadout setup

[weary hedge]

I’m glad it’s not the same as SoC

[shell flax]

Also OXA console once it comes out

[weary hedge]

Enjoy fighting along side us hippies

[ebon blade]

The SSP-100I Survey (Spark) is a great suit.

[shell flax]

I’m probably gonna be a basic bum and just grab the falcon

Also a Ram-2 for when shit goes sideways

[ebon blade]

The Ram-2 is my best friend.

[weary hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/scarface-gif-14168367572031108130

[ebon blade]

https://tenor.com/view/scarface-gif-14168367572031108130

[ebon blade]

I could not have said it better myself.

[weary hedge]

Scarface is a good movie

[shell flax]

Look, we’ve got the Ram-2. Add it’s brother as a unique

Both barrels at the same time, seven times? Hell yeah

[dull osprey]

whoops, embed failed :(

[shell flax]

Can’t embed unless you got master rank

[dull osprey]

i see i see

[shell flax]

Security and anti spam thing iirc

[weary hedge]

What does iirc mean

[shell flax]

If I remember correctly

[weary hedge]

Gotcha

[shell flax]

Essentially it’s me saying don’t trust my dogshit memory

[dull osprey]

right right

[shrewd needle]

Give me AA-12 with FRAG-12 rounds.

[shell flax]

Side note: Deadeye should be a USP Expert or Match, not just a compact with a comp and red dot

Am I saying this because I want a big ass hand gun in 45, absolutely

[weary hedge]

Yusss bring back black kite

[shell flax]

Or bring in a Coonan 357 just because it’s goofy as sin

[shrewd needle]

Uh...isn't it already a USP Match?

[shell flax]

Ever wanted a 1911 in 357?

[weary hedge]

You find more ammo for that thing in CoP than you’d use in multiple playthroughs 😆

[shell flax]

Too small, the match is a full size USP, not a compact

I’m waiting for the day weapon mods start really kicking in though

We’ve got some decent ones currently but I want some real uniques

[shrewd needle]

Fair.

[subtle spindle]

honestly what the game needs a bit more badly is older looking pistols like the fort and m9 back in the game

usp or mk23 could be cool but the game is already filled with modern looking pistols

[wanton blaze]

Nagant 1895, maybe a one off collector item in a stash

[subtle spindle]

eh im partial to gsc adding the fort pistol cuz it only really is a thing in stalker games

i havent seen a modern implimentation of it

[wanton blaze]

Oh the fort would be great

[winged cobalt]

agghhh man i hate this, i was playing anomaly and heard "Lurkers" howl, basically the nosalies or watchmen from metro, they behave like chimeras. anyways. I go out expecting an easy hunt since they're quite nice and easy to kill, turns out a damn big chimera pulls up and jumpscares me, dodged it and cooked it at last.

[silent valve]

lol

[shrewd needle]

Bison: We don't have much.
Also Bison: Casually paying me 1.2 million after I clean up Pripyat for him.

[silent valve]

No artifacts into your suit?

and where are the signs of the different ammo types are gone?

[shrewd needle]

I have 'em; removed them for the moment of selling.

[shrewd needle]

I don't have 'em; I'm on v1.1.3.

[vapid galleon]

dude was playing Stalker 2 with a very big passion

[shrewd needle]

It is what it is.

[rancid kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/full-metal-jacket-holy-jesus-what-is-that-meme-funny-gif-15283730

[silent valve]

For what reason are you played at this early level?

I meant the release of the game

[vapid galleon]

how many hours do you have in Stalker 2?

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/full-metal-jacket-holy-jesus-what-is-that-meme-funny-gif-15283730

[shrewd needle]

No space to update + later updates remove some good things.

[shrewd needle]

45 days, 17 hours total.

[vapid galleon]

do you mean 45 * 24 + 17 or only 17 hours?

[silent valve]

Here I thought that the game was too bugged at this stage to play it entirely proper

[shrewd needle]

45 days...meaning 45 * 24...

[shrewd needle]

I've not had any bugs except for a few memory leaks (in Rostok).

[ebon blade]

I own one in real life.

[winged cobalt]

i hate chimeras

but they're good food

[ebon blade]

Yeah but not as much as I hate Pseudogiants.

[winged cobalt]

i never hated them in the triology reallt

just get a few vogs for your gp25 and that's it

[ebon blade]

Everything is much tougher in Stalker 2. Even the Flesh.

[winged cobalt]

i always hated the flesh for its looks but i feel like in stalker 2 the flesh's behavior does not match it's self anymore

[vapid galleon]

[winged cobalt]

after all, it was the "Shyest" mutant, and that's what made it the way it was

[devout jolt]

In the old games fleshes take just one shot to kill

[shrewd needle]

Addiction is a bad thing.

[devout jolt]

In S2 all mutants are bullet sponges, they don't respond to damage taken and their low health state

[winged cobalt]

but it does make sense that the flesh started to be more aggressive torwards stalkers, after all the zone is changing, maybe to avoid starvation the flesh became more carnivore ?

[shrewd needle]

Evolution.

[ebon blade]

I have no problem with the Flesh being tougher and leaping. They are more of a challenge.

[devout jolt]

flesh is ok but bloodsuckers are a real suffer

Especially when there are multiple ones of them

[nimble heath]

Solution: sledgehammer

[shrewd needle]

3 BS using a pump-action...damn...

[devout jolt]

In my last play through I just use svd and svus against them, save me time from grabbing a shotgun and all that extra weight carried

Sniper rifles actually hip fires pretty accurate

[shrewd needle]

As they should. I do the exact same if I have a sniper and targets are close enough to not switch to a rifle; far more efficient.

[amber zinc]

Yo so is PSN finally getting stalker 🌚

[shrewd needle]

Nice, at least you got those Freedom guys to help you.

[ebon blade]

That doesn't happen most of the time, as I'm usually alone.

[shrewd needle]

True, true.

[shrewd needle]

Damn, how many of the BS you getting? I had that in my last play-through; the BS would spawn every 2 minutes when I stopped somewhere.

[wanton blaze]

Had to take a break before work cause I got my 5th Crown of my current playthrough. Slowly I will have enough to make my own royal court

[devout jolt]

By the way is the map larger than the OGs by scale?

I feel like needing more time to traverse in the zone, even in those location identical to the OGs like the cordon

And...well, everything feels bigger

[subtle spindle]

the movement speed seems a bit slower

other than that the map is sooo much bigger than all of the og maps added together

just look at how agroprom looks on the map that should give you an idea

[shrewd needle]

Yes. Very much so.

[kindred fable]

The map itself is larger but the locations that are recreated OGs are more or less the same scale as OGs, it's just the player movement speed is a little bit slower (imo, can't say for sure)

[exotic glacier]

How quick after a shot can you fire again? Useless as far as stats go. Recoil:allot or not would have made more sense.

[shrewd needle]

Yea, they explained in #❔┃seeking-for-advice...but again, it makes almost no sense in-game, so...had to ask.

Finally cleared out Pripyat and went broke again, time for Garbage and everything east of it...FML...

[warm forge]

So... after many patches, FG is still an issue. Had to turn it off when I reached Slag Heap. Goes from 80-90fps to 5-8fps. Frametime goes from 15ms to 300ms. It is something with the game or is UE related?
Me: 5700X 32GB 3200Mhz 4060Ti 1080p HIGH settings.

[umbral herald]

Oof that's rough. Does it persist? Does restarting the game improve things at all?

[teal shadow]

battlefield 4 typa stuff

[umbral herald]

Also, maybe I'm wrong here and I certainly don't mean any offense, but that doesn't look quite like a 'High' settings config (even for 1080p). 😬

[shrewd needle]

Never played BF, but honestly...automatic shotgun with explosive shells = good anywhere.

[shrewd needle]

What Virgil said; 4060 is not made for High. But neither are frame drops, NGL.

[umbral herald]

A lot of people are putting much hope in the Unreal engine update that is to come soon (5.1.1 -> 5.4.4, maybe coming with the PS5 release in November, but I'm not 100% sure).

[exotic glacier]

Nah bud. Start a new game and go west. That swamp is well $#it.

[exotic glacier]

The NPC's? Rostok, zalissya all these places run bad on account of something someone once explained to pander their position as a shill. I didn't listen.

[exotic glacier]

BF4 SP and MP was real good.

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but I don't really like playing as military guys.

[shrewd needle]

Swamp is east...

I hate the phucking Dark Valley plant...why the phuck is it a labyrinth with bags in every corner?

[exotic glacier]

Where is this?

[shrewd needle]

In Garbage, Varan's place.

[shrewd needle]

Bandits: Ya know, we can't shake down noobs 'cause they got nothing or veterans because they pack too much heat.

Also Bandits upon seeing a heavily armed stalker with an Exo-Skeleton and heavily upgraded arsenal filled to the brim with bullets: GIVE US YOUR KOUPONS and we might take mercy on you!

[coarse falcon]

That's why we love our bandit ret4rds. No pity in hunting 'em for sport.

If it's a Zaton bandit he knows.

If it's a Garbage or elsewhere, boi he ded.

What’s crackalackin duty man?

Too funny!! 🤣

It would be nice if there were things like bear traps and caltrops to slow down the big charging guys.

Idk what I’m supposed to be doing, but those guys feel impossible to deal with. Even when i had good equipmant

[fervent robin]

I dont understand what you are saying, you cant expect everybody to talk your language

Imagine if i talked only my language here

[deft fulcrum]

так переведи

[fervent robin]

Also that conversation happened yesterday, you are too late

[oblique tapir]

Theres a separate channel for that language sir

[oblique tapir]

THE UPDATE IS TOMORROW????

[nova parrot]

Supposed to

[weary hedge]

No given time yet

[nova parrot]

Ah dang hope it’s early

[oblique tapir]

Im so exited. Im starting the game over, so i can make better use of the collecting monster parts feature

[weary hedge]

It’s going to be a good one for sure

[nova parrot]

I bought the game day one but never finished it. I always said once they add nvgs I’ll play fully so I’m super excited.

[oblique tapir]

Nvgs?

[weary hedge]

Night vision

[willow egret]

I would hope the devs make this game a little less "hand holding" , at the start of the game you are given a vast choice of free 100% weapons to use and plenty of ammo

[oblique tapir]

Ah

[coarse falcon]

Strange, i finished it 3 times and have over 400h in. Can't wait for more too.

[oblique tapir]

Why not just throw them out or sell them then?

[willow egret]

Yeah i know it can be done

What i mean is, give you more difficulty to obtain one, to earn them

Im ignoring the intro section of course

[weary hedge]

I am also all for the difficulty. The game definitely throws too many freebies at the player.

[willow egret]

I started to see some real issues keeping tab of my inventory only at Prypiat. it would be nice, at least for me, to have this since the start

[weary hedge]

Also a flight pfp? Hell yeah 😆

[willow egret]

That is a meme i found too funny to not use it as a pfp

Anyway, you are given a modified pm pistol, which is one of the best ingame, but not much reason to use it

Due to freebies

[weary hedge]

Yeahhh I think it’s supposed to be new user friendly. The old games gave less of a fk

[willow egret]

yeah i remember very well

[weary hedge]

Besides cop. That’s when they started loading the player up lmao

[willow egret]

running out of ammo in X labs in SOC

now that was a mistake i forced myself to never make again

[weary hedge]

And heals were more scarce. You’ve got a whole hospital in ur back pocket in stalker 2

[willow egret]

Yeah it needs some balancing, it would make it have the difficulty charm of the triology

Plus difficulty didn't stop players from playing the Souls series, so i don't see the problem raising difficulty in the game, new players can adapt

[weary hedge]

I agree. Even veteran mode doesn’t give it that hmfp it needs. Hopefully the new master difficulty coming out in the future will bring that back and make loot more scarce

[willow egret]

Scarce loot, less meds around, less accuracy of enemies, mutants included, but more lethal shots

[gusty hearth]

[willow egret]

[weary hedge]

[weary hedge]

Have you finished stalker 2?

[willow egret]

Yep, just last week

[weary hedge]

Nice. What ending/endings did you get and what do you think of the game?

[willow egret]

got the X ending, if i can avoid spoilers

[weary hedge]

[willow egret]

Got the || Doctor/Faust || ending

That would be ||skifs ending||

[shrewd needle]

You asked for it, Mr. Cheeks. 😏

[willow egret]

That's the official name?

[weary hedge]

That’s what most would refer to it as yeah

[willow egret]

Honestly i loved the ending, but if i have to criticize something, it would be its length

The ending is way too long and tiring

[weary hedge]

It’s certainly a good ending but you can tell a lot of missions are trying to drag out the game.

[gusty hearth]

Every ending is good if u put hardbass in the background

[willow egret]

If you go for that ending 3 straight boss battles, plus 1 extermination of monoliths are way too much

[weary hedge]

And a bottle of vodka

[gusty hearth]

Stalker the post Soviet simulator

[willow egret]

Honestly tho the last two bosses were very cool, if i didn't have ammo issues for the first, it would have been way better

[weary hedge]

Mother Russia and Ukraine

[gusty hearth]

Guys he said the word

[shrewd needle]

Gauss Rifle.

[willow egret]

[weary hedge]

I’m on no side boyo

[shrewd needle]

You're on the side of brain-rot.

[weary hedge]

Stalker is brain rot

[willow egret]

I used the rare gauss for the last part, but that goddamn room surrounded by 6 gauss rifle enemies was frustrating

[weary hedge]

SoC raised me well

[shrewd needle]

True.

[willow egret]

Quite literal brain rot, ||
Scar ||

he's living proof of that

[shrewd needle]

I mean, you can delay the ending missions once you unlock Pripyat and spend time gathering money and stocking up Gauss Rounds from Bison.

[weary hedge]

Hey he’s sharing his brain 🧠

[shrewd needle]

Or better, just go to Pripyat early and spend the rest of the game regularly going to Pripyat and buying huge amounts of ammunition.

Damn, Ward at X-18 is hostile?

[willow egret]

Yes, bummer that i cannot visit the old labs from previous games, but i can understand why they were closed off

[shrewd needle]

I mean, even before the mission...like, the Plant is empty (where's Varan now?) while X-18 is crawling with hostile Ward soldiers. 😔

And honestly, I totally don't understand why they're closed off; can't even explore in peace.

[opaque cipher]

A-life when?

[willow egret]

X16 and x19 are very dangerous, lore speaking. So i get why they are completely buried

[shrewd needle]

X-16 is offline, though. And X-19 = which one?

[willow egret]

the brain scorcher

after all what we've seen in the first game, as it can be turned off by a swtich, it may be turned on again, like in anomaly

[shrewd needle]

Ah, X-10...or X-19...since both are used...

[shrewd needle]

True, but I mean, for player exploration...

[willow egret]

Yeah, i would love to revisit them again, gameplay speaking

Maybe add Limansk too, since it was mentioned in a quest

[weary hedge]

When finding spirit?

I’m surprised that bridge wasn’t rebuilt

[willow egret]

Yep that one, that was also a nice plot point, for spark

[shrewd needle]

Lymansk is...well, supposed to be a nightmare, going by that recording, and since the rest of S2 is NOT a nightmare...

NGL, the most I get shaken is when some enemy suddenly shows up in my face...it so became non-scary, it's not even funny.

Only other thing that feels creepy is exploring empty areas where no one's around to jump at you, but that's atmospheric rather than actual horror.

[weary hedge]

Having topol and his squad return was a nice touch. Unfortunate what happened to topol tho…

[willow egret]

It needs more ambience, the gameplay tweaks i was talking about before would add a lot of pressure

[shrewd needle]

What tweaks?

[shrewd needle]

Which one? Lymansk?

[weary hedge]

Yeah

[willow egret]

Less loot around, less freebies, less accuracy, but more lethal hits from enemies and mutants

[weary hedge]

Tho i suppose the terrors keep the stalkers away

[shrewd needle]

Bridge is intact, though, just raised up (on the wrong damn side)...

[shrewd needle]

I mean, the loot part would be more work; less accuracy and more damage would just be tweaking values that exist.

[shrewd needle]

Except it's the reverse; the bridge is controlled from the Lymansk side, meaning the day some zombie or another nightmare manages to lower the bridge, everyone's done for.

Unless the Lymansk tunnel has been collapsed, but that'd be another plot problem.

[weary hedge]

Yeahhh I wonder who in Lymansk did this?

[willow egret]

Yeah, but having enemies that manage to land every single shot in full auto, while at the same time you being a bullet sponge is not something i personally like

[shrewd needle]

Probably the Mercenaries (since, I think, CoP mentions that by the time of that game, Mercenaries have full control of Lymansk).

Because, come S2, Lymansk has gone to shit, so someone might've raised the bridge to isolate Lymansk from the rest of the Zone.

Which is even better, because Lymansk is NOT an island and is instead connected to the mainland, so...GG, I guess?

[willow egret]

Mercs maybe? to shut down limanks from the zone

[shrewd needle]

Yes, that's what I think too...considering the recording, I guess everyone in Lymansk went insane, and the last squad, trying to make their final stand or something, would've tried to do that.

[weary hedge]

High possibility depends on how you handled the mercs in CoP. The area would certainly make a good dlc for some more story.

[willow egret]

That would be a nice dlc

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but CoP doesn't have Lymansk, so the 'mercenaries control Lymansk' is a lore thing.

[willow egret]

Limanks plus the Dead city, so to give it meaning to its name

[weary hedge]

I mean if you kill their leader and scientist they fall apart in lore

[shrewd needle]

Yep. The only question is what that insanity entails, because it can't just be activating the radar in Lymansk (it's over-used a concept by now, so need something fresh).

[shrewd needle]

Uh...Mercenaries have no leader, though.

Black and the scientist are just one group of Mercenaries working for someone.

Mercenaries are always different groups, no?

[warm forge]

I know. Without FG it runs 35-55fps. With FG goes to 90fps.

[willow egret]

Limanks was a scientist section of the zone, might be a special mutant? A particular anomaly developped by a rogue scientist which got out of control?

[weary hedge]

Jackal was head of operations. They still have leaders that organize pay and jobs. If no pay or jobs they are just common rabble

[shrewd needle]

Probably...but considering the entire town went to shit...well...

[shrewd needle]

I know, but I mean, Jackal is only the leader of that specific group, right? The one trying to get the data from X-8?

'Cause there's that neutral group of Mercenaries and then the random ones you find in free roam...

[tame gazelle]

anyone else got a feeling enemy NPCs will see you just as easy in the dark without a NV on?

[willow egret]

A psi anomaly developed in 2006 and went crazy on the emission of the same year? sounds plausible

[worn drum]

tomorrow.

[sage dew]

... I am prepared

[tame gazelle]

if there is one thing GSC has eached me after Stalker 2 is that nothing ever looks/plays as shown in trailers kek

[shrewd needle]

No, but that's 2006...Clear Sky is set in 2010, I think? I don't remember; CoP is set in 2012.

[worn drum]

"iF tEstiNG gOEs WeLl"

[valid oar]

Can we have guns that you can kill stuff with added to the game?

[umbral herald]

I swear, I was just about to comment about the lack of teasers/official communication from Mol1t/GSC today, and then I got the notification 😆

[shrewd needle]

Uh...all guns can kill?

[weary hedge]

There’s not a ton of detail on that besides mercs kind of just disappear from the zone in CoP so it could affect the operations in lymansk at the time but it’s really up to the player to make theories lol

[waxen marten]

tomorrow

[topaz grove]

So guys the update is coming 30th of September amirite ?

[shrewd needle]

That is true, but considering how widespread Mercenaries are in S2...well...I'm guessing that more of them just moved in.

Endless supply, after all.

[gloomy citrus]

Mol1t has spoken.

[fervent summit]

Gammafied 💔💔💔💔

[willow egret]

By what ive seen in the previous games, Jackal might be the head, but only for information and practical reasons. If you want to mantain secrecy i think they might split into different groups, which report info to jackal, who then sends the info to the "Clients". Jackal might be the middle man

[topaz grove]

Okay that's like the worst timing before my message

[gloomy citrus]

Perhaps I should do another run once 1.6 comes out.

[waxen marten]

calculated

[tall hawk]

not full on gammaslop, they're only adding canted aiming it's not over yet... OT GODS are still winning...

[warm forge]

Probably you are right. FEELSBAD.

[shrewd needle]

Just saw the announcement, we can now fire guns sideways?

[quaint umbra]

You can right now if you put your mind to it

[worn drum]

the screenshots show canted aiming pos.

[weary hedge]

Yeah which makes sense. I seriously can’t wait for a dlc. So many theories…

[violet dune]

time to re-download 150GB

[shrewd needle]

I'm going to bonk you in the face with a canted sight.

[willow egret]

Gammafication in progress

[shrewd needle]

Same; I just want to explore through the most twisted shit because S2 is...well, not scary (except for those few moments or due to graphics).

[abstract hatch]

I swear to god these guys are killing me with the bloody teasers just fkin put the update out already god damn it

[shrewd needle]

I mean, canted sights are real, but I'm just confused how the control scheme will work.

[nova parrot]

@waxen marten please let us know when 1.6 is dropping!!!

[willow egret]

probably canting is auto due to nvgs maybe? or a special button like gamma

[gloomy citrus]

No need to mention him.

[thin apex]

i wonder if they'll actually incorporate the current lasers into it or add some type of IR laser or if it's just hail mary

[spice tusk]

Am I the only one who is bothered by the devs hyping up of patch 1.6? I can wait. But every time I see the notification in the announcements channel I get ecited until I see it is just a screenshot.

[azure monolith]

As long as there is pay off, I trust the team

[shrewd needle]

Or maybe using variable zoom like in other games (scroll up to zoom in, scroll down to zoom out)...

So maybe you aim normally, then 'zoom out' to use canted sights.

Honestly, I miss variable zoom in games; fixed magnification is cringe as phuck.

[abstract hatch]

Same, it's killing me

[thin apex]

you can use your optic while using NVGs as well as swap to canting if you want

[weary hedge]

Progress is progress.

[shrewd needle]

Probably not, since IR or otherwise, lasers are irrelevant for enemy detection.

[eternal mountain]

can always mute announcement channel and wait for update notification on steam or xbox

[violet dune]

everyone wanted 3x longer days, now everyone will want 3x longer nights... god damn GSC

[shrewd needle]

NVGs need a use, after all.

[thin apex]

cough cough mods

[willow egret]

All i want is less bullet sponges, me, enemies and mutants alike

[eternal mountain]

they really doubled down on the nighty nights

[spice tusk]

eh, steam does not send me notifications for updates. I guess I can disable them here.

[shrewd needle]

Better Ballistics, my precious.

[weary hedge]

At least make headshots 1 shot

[lucid charm]

It would make sense for canted sighting using NVG’s though, i mean you can’t aim through a scope while using them

Also suuuuuup

[shrewd needle]

Only for unarmoured, hopefully.

[thin apex]

ace has a collection of mods that change the day/night duration to like 2/4/6/12/24 IRL hours etc iirc

[karmic ice]

Goated mod mentioned

[shrewd needle]

Actually, while canted sights are good, we should be able to use the iron sights on top of scopes...

[raven monolith]

could've just dropped the patch instead of edging us with unnecessary teasers

[willow egret]

yeah, but in particularly critical situations you have not much possibility to aim the head correctly and end up wasting 10 bullets on torso to kill a regular guy

[weary hedge]

Mornin luci

[shrewd needle]

@willow egret - use this.

[weary hedge]

Pretty much

[willow egret]

Ill very much try it

[shrewd needle]

You should. It makes the game so much more playable.

[spring acorn]

I like being teased

[lucid charm]

Wowwiiieee, patch 1.6, just a day away!
It’s right around the corner
Just a day away

[thin apex]

you can use red dots while using NVGs it's just more inconvenient

[shrewd needle]

Very cringe of you.

[spring acorn]

The Zone is full of teases

[karmic ice]

Correct but I'm just saying.. Using the extended day/night mods can actually break the AI spawn system (the extended day/night update from GSC will fix this in future patches hopefully)

[tame forge]

a man of taste.

[lucid charm]

I said scopes specifically

[modern frigate]

assuming he wasn’t meming, mol1t just confirmed it’s coming tomorrow

[willow egret]

1.6 plus better balistics, sounds like i need to start a new game from scratch

[modern frigate]

so that’s cool at least

[thin apex]

I'm assuming those will work too considering in the clip they showed skif used an acog while using nvgs

which a 4X magnificstion ideally doesn't really work under NVGs

[shrewd needle]

Worth it (though, be warned, BB applies to both sides, meaning you can die in a single shot as well).

[lucid charm]

Oof, not a fan of that tbh, but creative design I suppose

[willow egret]

Perfectly willing to go through it, cant wait for R6 open world

[weary hedge]

R6 is craaaazy

[eternal mountain]

i wonder, why include canted aiming if using an optic scope is perfectly fine? i hope to see that holographic sights blind you when using nvgs, but optics are harder to use too because of the focal point of nvgs

[frigid hill]

ottomic has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[weary hedge]

No speaking for you ottomic

[karmic ice]

Ok so for canted aiming, there seems to be a laser in use, question is will there be an IR laser for NVGs?

[shrewd needle]

Good. A tip is to NOT go to war (unlike vanilla). And find good armours (which you'll now need). Upgrade physical protection, AT THE LEAST.

The PSZ-5/PSZ-7 series will be the point where you'll finally be able to survive without dying constantly.

[willow egret]

That's exactly what i used to call Gamma due to the sheer amount of attention you need to have for EVERYTHING around you

[shrewd needle]

No. IR lasers are irrelevant.

[worn drum]

every second outside of a safezone counts.

[weary hedge]

lol I love that gameplay style. Might be realism milslop but it hardens ur aim 😆

[thin apex]

we already saw skif use an acog in the teaser video attached to the announcement and it seemed relatively normal and j mean canted aiming can also just be a preference thing so you have less ocluded vision since you get less FOV and an optic takes up alot of the view as we see

[shrewd needle]

Not enough for Counter-Strike, though.

[weary hedge]

Counter slop is mid. I don’t like the bloom on the guns

[worn drum]

with bb on veteran if you stall for a second you're screwed.

especially against dudes with guns.

[willow egret]

exactly like other stalker games

[eternal mountain]

i guess if canted aiming also improves accuracy then i can see the point of it, but hipfiring already is pretty accurate

[shrewd needle]

That's competitive FPS for you where every gun has fixed recoi, fixed spread, fixed everything with no variance.

This is why I loved CS: Source...recoil, spread, everything was random.

[worn drum]

just the way the veterans like it..

[thin apex]

also rewatching the video as well there is "a laser" that is present when using canted aiming I can't tell if it's just the base game laser modification or if it's a new thing specifically meant for NVG canted aiming

[karmic ice]

Yeah, forget fighting against Monolithians, those guys are better than aimbotters

[thin apex]

eh hipfiring isn't the best for most rifles

[willow egret]

yes, i hate myself i need to make me suffer through sheer pain and voices in my head due to psi health low

[shrewd needle]

Aiming? What's that?

[lucid charm]

Tbf, lasers are kind of pointless in game at the moment, even if you play hudless

[eternal mountain]

i personally play without crosshairs but couple of weeks back i started a new run using crosshairs and i really dont see a need for aiming down sights unless the enemy is further away

[shrewd needle]

They lower spread.

[weary hedge]

real

[turbid trench]

New 1.6 ready ?

[eternal mountain]

true, they dont point to the spot where bullets land most of the time

[shrewd needle]

Check this for tips: #☢┃stalker-general message

So you don't die the moment you step in.

[willow egret]

So you mean to avoid fights?

[shrewd needle]

No. Do fights intelligently (meaning tons and tons of cover) and hunt for good armour.

So yes, don't go to war with the IPSF but when fighting even low-end Bandits, don't over-estimate yourself. Use cover and shoot the head as much as possible.

[thin apex]

well yeah they were just aesethic before since there was just "hipfire" and "ADS" and this game just uses a hipfire radius not a milsim "where the gun is pointed your bullets will go", mechanic like insurgency/RON
but now we have canted which is meant to be "aiming" so it might be different and actually make a use for a laser now

[weary hedge]

Nah get urself in fight. Get a feel of the land and gun play with everything doing more damage. Try to get the jump on people too.

[willow egret]

Ok pretty much like the triology and gamma

[shrewd needle]

Dude, Leather Jacket = bad for fighting... 😆

[worn drum]

tons and tons of unconventional circling and movement because these mf shoot through just about anything you can consider cover!

[weary hedge]

Gun do more damage

[willow egret]

That's what i always did to unaware enemies

[shrewd needle]

Yes. And physical protection is your only friend. Anything else is a lie.

[shrewd needle]

Including to you. Fun when you get shot right in the throat and bleed out in 5 seconds.

[buoyant garnet]

I have been waiting for years (months)

[lucid charm]

I’m going to add Psi protection to that as well.

[weary hedge]

Sure IF you get shot

[willow egret]

Cant wait to be shredded in the colonel boss fight

[shrewd needle]

I don't generally circle; I prefer to zig-zag only slightly but stay where I am and shoot enemies down (especially since Skif moves slow as shit and even more so when aiming).

But I guess I got too used to the Bulat/Diamond... 😔

[weary hedge]

Oh boss fights are annoying as hell

[shrewd needle]

Yea, true, but we're talking purely combat (Better Ballistics).

[lucid charm]

Psi damage and psi illusions have killed me with BB and BBMR more times than anything else

[shrewd needle]

Skif is a bloody snail. Not getting shot would be the actual miracle.

[lucid charm]

That shit scary

[shrewd needle]

Pretty sure that's BBMR more than BB itself. Though the enemies spawned as psionic illusions do normal damage, so fair.

[karmic ice]

Gonna have to hoard a shit ton of psi block pills now

[weary hedge]

Scar be like

[willow egret]

Considering enemies can make a B2 or a Viper hit every single shot, now that's impressive

[shrewd needle]

Scar be the definition of horrifying the horror.

[willow egret]

Nah he's literally gone in the head, like he smoke 50 joints in aday

[shrewd needle]

With BB, you'll be scrambling for cover...but yea, it's a LOT of fun and armour is a lot more meaningful now.

[eternal mountain]

also i think and also checked youtube, acog sights in stalker 2 arent illuminated, there is a clear glow around holographic sights, so heres hoping they add blinding glow to sight when viewing it through nvg

[weary hedge]

He smoked gas station weed 😆

[karmic ice]

More like 50 emissions a day

[lucid charm]

I’m just hanging around in zallisya waiting for the update. I don’t want to get too far in and miss out on any of the stash changes (since I’m a complete loot goblin)

[shrewd needle]

Without further degrading too!

[shrewd needle]

Another...

[karmic ice]

My man is built different

[willow egret]

nah, he straight up smoked a moonlight or a gravi, first time i saw him i was both impressed that he was alive and akward by how high he was

[shrewd needle]

Too bad his plan made things worse; man could've beaten Faust at the rate he was going.

[weary hedge]

Lmaooo. Mans got way too many screws loose. I was honestly not surprised tho with the lore knowledge I had going into the game😆

[willow egret]

i really was wondering if there still was a brain inside

[weary hedge]

Nope. Just c-con and Marshall directives

[shrewd needle]

I mean, he got screwed by the C-Consciousness...all those screws had to loosen at some point...

[thin apex]

also unrelated to update 1.6/NVGs but I wish the Devs allowed the pistols ingame to have their red dots mounted directly onto the slide instead of using the bulky bracket
cos I mean yorue giving it to a weapon smith he should be able to millbm a custom slide up to mount an optic on it

[shrewd needle]

There is. Just programmed wrong.

[edgy shell]

Canted stance?

[willow egret]

but i can understand the reason behind his character choice, makes him the unpredictable kind, i never could know what his next step was

[shrewd needle]

I think the bracket is for reinforcement.

[shrewd needle]

Neither did the Ward or SIRCAA and hence, Dalin phucked up.

[thin apex]

the red dot mounting bracket is only necessary to facilitate an optic mount without altering the slide

it's redundent if you just consider "modify the slide"

[weary hedge]

Thankfully that’s what made spark so dangerous. He was crazy but crazy is what you need during a time of war.

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but the slide is also a moving part...the sight can just loosen and move around.

[willow egret]

From the first time i saw SIRCAA i knew exactly what was going to happen, not because the game was obvious, but lore speaking, they were trying to control the zone, which has always proved in the triology that it isnt a good idea

[thin apex]

not if you install it correctly

[lucid charm]

Hm?

[thin apex]

otherwise people wouldn't mount optics into slides if they could just "fall off"

[shrewd needle]

Tejas and I are loot 'goblins' too.

[shrewd needle]

Well, you're talking about the Zone, and...well, everything's 'jury-rigged'...

[thin apex]

also the USP compact from factory has the hardware to mount an optic directly onto the slide yet you can't ingame and the only slide mounted optic is on the USP match

[weary hedge]

The zone is also full of hippies (stalkers)

[shrewd needle]

TBF, in the Ward ending, they do succeed, so...I mean, considering every other ending, it's basically infinitely better.

[lucid charm]

“How haven’t you finished the game yet? You have over 100 hours in it?!”
Purple icon :3

[shrewd needle]

Me who hasn't even been to the Detention Centre because I'm too busy cleaning the map be like...

[lucid charm]

Duuuuude, we need to get a merchant in burnt forest or lesser Duga cause that hike back is painful

[wild thistle]

Is it just me or do NPCs never seem to reload?

[eternal mountain]

if stalker 2 devs see this, please remove skifs pistol as an quest important item, i think nobody would mind if skif pulls it out of nowhere for cutscenes

[lucid charm]

They do

[shrewd needle]

This is why I use a trainer for zero weight.

I can just haul the entire Zone in my ruck-sack.

[shrewd needle]

Please no; it's the only defence against Burers I have.

[weary hedge]

They indeed do. There’s animations for it

[lucid charm]

If you pay attention in the early game when they use sawdoff, you hear gaps between their shots for when they reload

[shrewd needle]

Even with rifles, they reload normally.

[lucid charm]

Decider

[wild thistle]

I hear NPCs with double barrel shotguns firing like 4 or 5 rounds in a row without reloading

[shrewd needle]

I mean in terms of not being able to be pulled out of the hand.

[weary hedge]

Must have the extended mag

[eternal mountain]

also this, its way too overpowered, two headshots to kill a monolithian cant be real bro

[shrewd needle]

No one's talking about power but about the fact that it can't be pulled out of Skif's hand due to being a quest item.

[weary hedge]

Or some might say “Hollywood mag”

[lucid charm]

Correct, decider. If you just don’t finish the quest then it can never get yanked

[shrewd needle]

I have OCD and I'm finishing that quest.

[lucid charm]

Yeahhh

[eternal mountain]

oh yeah, but thats besides the point

[thin apex]

also game give me a Glock please I want a 9x19 pistol that isn't the specific unique 9mm converted USP compact you get at sircca
or give me like a sig p226 or an fn 509 or smth

[eternal mountain]

my mind automatically discards any other pistol in the game, cus if skifs pistol sits in my inventory unused, i want to put it away or sell it

[edgy shell]

You don’t use other pistols?

[shrewd needle]

I mean...the Stechkin APS is better than Skif's Makarov.

[weary hedge]

A Glock would go crazy. I’d throw a stendo and a switch on that thang

[eternal mountain]

ive only tried them for a little bit, then just sold them and used skifs pistol

[thin apex]

i almost exclusively use the gambit USP compact or the deadeye USP match either because A, optic or B, 9x19 is common AF

[shrewd needle]

Glock 18C with Beta C-Mag. Boom.

[lucid charm]

If they add another 9x19 it’ll either be a Fort-12, Beretta M92FS, or Walther P220

[eternal mountain]

cus obviously its the best pistol in the game, any other pm sucks but skifs pistol is special

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/the-matrix-the-matrix-reloaded-morpheus-gif-21366730

[thin apex]

I wouldn't mind a Berretta

[edgy shell]

I will admit it’s my favourite looking and sounding of them all

[weary hedge]

Hell yes. 😆

[lucid charm]

It’s more that there’s no reason to use any other pistols at the moment

[willow egret]

Honestly it feels like the start of a new problem, instead of the end, considering how the colonel behaves he would try to control anyone that disagrees

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/gun-ammo-viejon-100-magazine-gif-13840463

[thin apex]

yeah it's technically the best but it's boooooorrrrrinnnggg

[eternal mountain]

i would love to use 1911 with 45 acp ammo, but if skifs pistol would linger in my inventory, conservative stalker that i am... i need to make room for other goodies

[shrewd needle]

Glock with balls.

[weary hedge]

Korshy is just as much of a nut job as scar. Change my mind.

[weary hedge]

Now that’s a piece of art 🤣

[willow egret]

Skif might be the correct one, hes the only one that doesnt want to control the zone or the noosphere

[shrewd needle]

I mean, Korshunov is basically under Agatha's boot, so he doesn't have a choice.

Except now that he's in the pod and the only way for the Zone to be controlled, SIRCAA can't pressure him to do anything, lest there be...consequences.

[eternal mountain]

and another nitpick is that skif throws away valuable magazines when reloading, that aint really that immersive

[edgy shell]

Revolver best pistol easily

[willow egret]

yeah with the AR especially, just give me tac reloads please

[viscid shale]

Hello 👋🏻🤠

Is the 'Darth Vader' Profile effect worth it?

[weary hedge]

No

[thin ocean]

Yo does anyone know if 1.6 is confirmed to release tomorrow?

[eternal mountain]

yeah exactly, give me the choice to either throw away the half full magazine and lose the ammo or take longer to conserve it

[viscid shale]

Why?

[shrewd needle]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/H3VR/comments/znerjj/antsinmypants_plz_glock_and_balls/

[worn drum]

magazine management also would be cool.

[thin apex]

it would be if skif understood how to use a double action revolver exept he treats it like single action and it sucks because of it

[weary hedge]

Dumb cosmetic waste of money

[eternal mountain]

wouldnt be really casual friendly, but master difficutly could use it

[lucid charm]

Okay, now we’re getting into gammafication slop

[willow egret]

You saw that pistols video too? Yeah i cant unsee it now

[shrewd needle]

Skif does, GSC doesn't. It's why the revolver has 2 different ejectors.

[weary hedge]

Hell yeahhhh

[worn drum]

not really it's a system in many games.

[viscid shale]

💔

[weary hedge]

Glock and balls

[eternal mountain]

i mean technically we can imagine that skif just cocks the hammer for easier trigger pull

[thin apex]

I mean I already knew about it because it really gets in the way and rubs it in your face when he slowly cocks it manually but I also did see that video

[worn drum]

call it ocd.

[viscid shale]

I agree, but I really want it 🥺

[shrewd needle]

Big balls.

[edgy shell]

Is it a bf 2042 situation where the game treats it as the wrong type?

[lucid charm]

While being based on the RSh or something...forgot which it was.

Try saying that to a Glock and you getting 9 X 19 shot at supersonic speeds towards you.

Yall Russians ?

[lucid charm]

It’s so beautiful

[willow egret]

now i understand why they're hostile to everybody

[thin apex]

thats flippidy dippidy giant for a revolver

[viscid shale]

Idk lol 👁️👄👁️

[shrewd needle]

.50 BMG, but Soviet version.

[shrewd needle]

I mean, it's been a decade since Degtyarev...things got to evolve. 😏

[mellow dune]

Not quite,

[thin apex]

no where near

[shrewd needle]

.50 BMG is rifle round, though...so I guess 12.7 X 55 = same as the .50 AE.

[lucid charm]

Wait I thought it was .50AE

[shrewd needle]

Yea, I got confused there for a moment. My bad.

[weary hedge]

Дай бабла, падла!

[lucid charm]

Yeah, the same round as desert eagle

[thin apex]

12.7x55 is NOT 50ae

[shrewd needle]

Actually, .50 AE is much smaller. 12.7 X 33.

12.7 X 55 = much larger; it's basically a rifle round too, I think...

[thin apex]

it's the subsonic round that's in the VKS

and for some reason they shoved a 100mm lonf bullet in a revolver

[shrewd needle]

So it's mid-way between .50 AE and .50 BMG.

[shrewd needle]

Joke's on them; I am the stash. 😏

[weary hedge]

Loot him boys!

[tall hawk]

why ya askin?

[lucid charm]

Two things that I hope return from the OT, PDA pings when other stalkers enter the same area as you, and a leaderboard like in shadow of chernobyl

[thin apex]

50ae shoots like 300-400gr between 1500-1100fps with energies between 1600-1100ft lbs

12.7x51 shoots between 120-1100gr (insane) and it is subsonic so <1000fps and varies between 600ft lbs of energy up to 2500ft lbs of energy depending on the grain weight (and 12.7x55 is GIANT for a cartridge in a revolver)

50bmg shoots a 600-800gr bullet at 3000fps and between 13000-15000ft lbs of energy

[eternal mountain]

i think there is a sound effect for stalkers that came to your vicinity

[umbral herald]

Friendly ones, or all?

[lucid charm]

Unfortunately not. I’ve been playing hudless and without music for awhile now, and there is nothing

[weary hedge]

We’d need a-life for the leader board lolz

[eternal mountain]

cant really tell, but there is this chirpy sound almost like a bird that plays when stalkers are nearby

game really made no mention of it

[shrewd needle]

As Skif said very aptly: How about some ammunition instead?

proceeds to shoot everyone to Swiss Cheese levels.

[lucid charm]

Not really, just use dice rolls for it. The goal is an illusion of A-life, since it’s getting pretty clear real A-life is impossible rn

[thin apex]

and plus naturally a subsonic caliber doesn't behave the same nor hold the same standards as supersonic

[oblique tapir]

Is theft a mechanic in the game. I remember early on there were people that seemed passive, but attacked after i took some stuff

[weary hedge]

Дірявили мене, пацани.

They've made holes in me, guys.
😆

[lucid charm]

Rarely. There’s a few spots where they will react to you taking stuff but most of the time no

[shrewd needle]

That's fair point, but I guess the idea was to have the simplicity of a revolver and the power of the Desert Eagle in one.

And since the bullet is large, sub-sonic wouldn't matter as much, I guess.

[oblique tapir]

Ok thanks

[shrewd needle]

Yes, the Bandits are now very holey. 😏

The leaky version of the Holy Monolith!

[weary hedge]

Oh yeah that’s fair. Probably not but it will get better. Nothing like original tho

[tall hawk]

are u a developer

[weary hedge]

I love the dialogue in the old games. So funny🤣

[lucid charm]

I am not, however this is the official discord so I don’t mind speaking out ideas of how to make it work incase they are listening.

[thin apex]

I have a feeling a revolver housing 12.7x55 isn't simple and plus theres a reason no one actually uses 44 magnum/454 casull/500 magnum/50ae handguns or anything that high power

[shrewd needle]

We had art...style...back then.

[shrewd needle]

I mean, the RSh-12 would be, uh...a Spetsnaz revolver or...well, 'sport' shooting.

[weary hedge]

Yes…very special games to me

[weary hedge]

Very optimistic of you to think they give a damn

[shrewd needle]

A-Life is totally possible and even exists. Because it's A||bsent|| Life. 😏

[lucid charm]

Two things that could help a lot, would be

1. a leaderboard of stalkers you can meet that is constantly updating
2. Map icons that simulate stalkers roaming or bandits etc such as in clear sky, THEN spawning them in once they get close, say within 100 meters of you

[weary hedge]

Yes I think those would be a step in the right direction

[shrewd needle]

This, both of you...

[worn drum]

CS 😍

[thin apex]

"no evidence of its actual use, as well as production"
-google 🥀

[eternal mountain]

sometimes when side quest characters run away(like during an emission) they would be shown on the map running way further than 100m, it would update its position every 2 seconds or so

[shrewd needle]

Yea, true, but...well, the Zone provides.

[thin apex]

least surprising thing I've heard in the last decade

[shrewd needle]

AN-94, my beloved...WITH THE MOVING BARREL that they removed in CS and CoP... 😡

I was so furious to see the barrel being static in those games...

[shrewd needle]

Also, since this exists, I guess it might've been the same point as NATO does with the FN P90/Five-Seven and the HK MP7/the similar pistol that got cancelled.

So, maybe an extreme-power short-range rifle and pistol sharing the same ammunition to keep targets down.

[lucid charm]

That thing looks heavy

And uncomfortable

[shrewd needle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShAK-12

Heavy = Soviet doctrine...hits heavy too, considering ammunition.

The ammunition used for the ShAK-12 is the 12.7×55mm straight-walled, rimless brass case based on .338 Lapua Magnum, originally developed by the same organization that developed the silenced VKS sniper rifle.
Interesting...so made from anti-materiel base round.

[thin apex]

12.7x55 was originally made for the vks for the better part of a decade before the shak

also it's barely anti material it's subsonic

[shrewd needle]

I mean the base round...which is .338 Lapua Magnum.

[thin apex]

yeah that's just the case they took and frankensteined into 12.7

at best it pushes energies slightly below 308 Winchester while being subsonic at 1000gr

[jagged zinc]

Night vision is going to change the game! Cannot wait!

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but since it's supposed to be close-range, I guess that doesn't matter too much (similar to the VSS and the Val).

[stark crescent]

update 1.6 is out?

[weary hedge]

Noiiiice

[weary hedge]

Tomorrow

[frigid hill]

jeruzalemisreal has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[stark crescent]

get aids, wolf!

[weary hedge]

AIDS?😆

[shrewd needle]

He's salty because he got Wolf'deez nutz.

[thin apex]

also as your bullet is made fatter and slower it becomes worse at penetrating so combining 50 caliber and subsonic isnt that great at overpenetration

[harsh plume]

Fr?

[shrewd needle]

Which is the goal in short-range combat...taking out your target without collateral damage.

[stark crescent]

listen to this goody two shoes talking like if we need to care about collateral damage

[still current]

[stark crescent]

son, you are on hte most deadly place on earth, which inhuman demons turning invisible, wanting to suck out yer eyeball. you better got yourself armed with an rpg 7 just taking a freaking stroll

[shrewd needle]

Yea, 'cause if you're shooting the Monolith and you accidentally shoot those hippies to the side, you're in major trouble. 😏

[shrewd needle]

Exactly, and when you're in the most lethal Zone on Earth, you don't need extra enemies because you shot an RPG at the wrong people.

[thin apex]

oh yeah also the shak and rhs12 actually had to use shorter bullets compared to the vks since like they can't fit a 100mm long cartridge in the chamber so it's aerodynamics and the weight of the bullet suffered

[wild thistle]

Is it intended that I can only switch fire modes while aiming down the sights? I find this really annoying

[shrewd needle]

True, but end of the day, it's a pistol. Within 50 metres (normal range), a Glock will suffer, a 12.7 X 55 won't.

[stark crescent]

you should be able to freely switch fire modes no matter what you do. aiming down sights or hip firing

[shrewd needle]

Phuck...this...game...for frame drops. Why can't we have optimized releases rather than post-release optimization? 😡

[wild thistle]

Nope, I can only switch fire modes while aiming down the sights

[stark crescent]

then...are you running mods maybe?

[wild thistle]

Something's wrong with my game

[shrewd needle]

Very.

[thin apex]

asuming you can even comfortably shoot 12.7x55 in a handgun

[wild thistle]

It was already happening before I used mods

[weary hedge]

Why would you want to harm ye fellow brother in arms?

[stark crescent]

you havnt noticed how this game literally doesnt allow you to harm people of significance?

everyone who can be shot, is non vital

[weary hedge]

Significance is a matter of perspective. But I know what you mean

[stark crescent]

aint no way my buddy korshunovski will stand behind me when i got an rpg 7 armed

[shrewd needle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUEz6B7g_oU

[shrewd needle]

He can. And will. He can take it.

He snorts RPG exhaust.

[weary hedge]

I will put a plunger on korshys head

🪠

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/plunger-prank-bald-gif-25253169

[thin apex]

and plus since the bullets were shorter it meant they fell around the 500-250gr weights since there was less space to fit as long of a bullet/more weight which means its ocerall energy fell between 357 magnum and 44 magnum while being subsonic so ending up performing to less of a degree

[shrewd needle]

Plungunov.

[shrewd needle]

Again, meant for close range...it doesn't matter at the ranges the round is being used.

[thin apex]

they reinvented 357 magnum

[weary hedge]

A baldy in its natural habitat. Such an interesting species

[thin apex]

exept made it way larger and heavier and uncomfortable to shoot

[shrewd needle]

Reminds me of this advertisement on WCTR in GTA: San Andreas, where 2 women are talking about how they'd do a guy...

...and then the music screeches to a halt as they both say, disappointed, "...if he wasn't bald."

I swear, it fits in so well for Korshunov. Maybe that's why he's so angry all the time? 😏

[shrewd needle]

Range...

[weary hedge]

LMAOOOO. That’s hilarious.

Bald people are statistically proven to be more angry😆

[thin apex]

so what

[shrewd needle]

https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Castradon

Castradon is a baldness remedy that is advertised in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It eliminates testosterone by attacking the glands that produce it (the testicles). Ironically, in addition to causing sterility, it is advertised over the radio as increasing a man's sex appeal due to the distaste with which women regard bald men. Castradon is mentioned as a sponsor of car racing in the second episode of The Tight End Zone, a program on West Coast Talk Radio.

[shrewd needle]

At 50 metres, the RSh-12 will win over a Glock, being the point. It doesn't matter since it'll put down the target in one shot. Or 2...

[weary hedge]

GTA advertisements are always so out of pocket. Love it 😂

[thin apex]

and a 44 magnum would beat an rsh12

[shrewd needle]

How?

[thin apex]

whya re we comparing a 12x7x55 caliber to 9nm

[shrewd needle]

True satire, NGL.

[shrewd needle]

Because the Glock is most likely to be used otherwise.

[thin apex]

it produces more energy and higher velocity and is easier to carry

[weary hedge]

more games need humor like this

[thin apex]

but there's a reason people don't use high power revolvers

[hardy totem]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/524246444560089099/1414891717475176559/skill_issue-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif

[thin apex]

and plus the rsh12 revolver is so comically large it's barely considered a secondary

if you want a high power revolver that performs better then 12.7x55 while being a smaller easier to carry figure then you would get something like 357 or 44 or 454 or any of those but revolvers are inconvinient and not very useful for military forces so they don't end up using them
(and clearly the rsh12 wasn't very useful since it never even got produced)

tldr m4 ratios everything just use your primary

[shrewd needle]

Fair enough, NGL.

[shrewd needle]

True.

[shrewd needle]

True too... 😆

[shrewd needle]

Agreed on this.

[shrewd needle]

Probably gotta wait for the ones already out to get updated.
Those poor Mod Authors.

It is fate of moding fresh game that is being actively worked on. Enyone expected anything else?

I hope news mods for console because the mods for console actually is really poor 🫠

[viscid shale]

Guys is the 'Darth Vader' Profile effect worth buying ❓

[viscid shale]

Like its an effect, it comes when someone views your profile

[viscid shale]

https://tenor.com/view/darth-vader-lightsaber-dark-rouge-one-star-wars-gif-23794050

[viscid shale]

Someone repost 🔁 for me please

[rose ocean]

I mean I already finished the game 3 times I’m just curious too see what mods on pc look like on console lol

Im actually really waiting for DLC

[coarse falcon]

I'm wondering if upcomming DLCs will give us alternate endings (like with Phantom Liberty) or will be more contained stories in between main missions.

[rose ocean]

I think we will need to start a new party if a DLC is coming

[obtuse veldt]

Thats the main reason modding is not attractive to me right now

DLC might contain new weaponry, more new areas, possible rework of existant areas, new characters, possible new ingame mechanics, possible more weapon tune ups, etc.

[obtuse veldt]

I hope its something like that, hoping we can save somehow some noontiders

[rose ocean]

Ye ye for sure modding it’s just for try and for have fun i agreed with you if you want to enjoy the campaign you need to play without mods

[weary hedge]

Cringe

[shell flax]

Happy ending? Wrong Zone, wrong people...

[obtuse veldt]

But what im expecting is Zulu really finding the documents about how to exterminate the mutant threat once and for all. But probably he wont like what he might find

[rose ocean]

I just hope we have really good DLC

Game is really good I hope dlc will be the same

[coarse falcon]

Judging by quality of writing in base game i wouldn't worry too much here.

It will be solid.

[rose ocean]

Ye true

I also waiting for some news about the multiplayer mode

Very interesting

[obtuse veldt]

Thats gonna take a while, id rather them focusing on the DLC and bugs, multiplayer can wait as i expect to be more of a PvP arena situation

[rose ocean]

Ye sure dlc and bugs are the most important

[coarse falcon]

I don't like team deathmatch so probably won't be too fun for me. I prefer coop, but i have Insurgency for shooting bots with friends while drunk.

[worn drum]

capture the artifacts otw

[obtuse veldt]

I wonder if they planning to do some kind of Open world RPG

That would be sick, but its gonna be hard to mantain tbh

[worn drum]

two factions fight among anomaly fields for an artifact/artifacts.

[hallow shadow]

CTF, is now CTA?
And artifacts have effects?

“You captured Red’s Artifact: ‘Compass’ granted.”

[rose ocean]

Imagine coop campaign ahah

[hallow shadow]

That sounds hard to do.

[rose ocean]

Ye I think it’s really hard for them to do this

[worn drum]

anomaly immunity granted to the mvps

[hallow shadow]

The majority of the people I know that play this game are loot goblins.
Which means… Co-Op would only ever be done in the Host’s world, or all loot has to be redundant for both players.

[coarse falcon]

Nah, that doesn't sound fun for me. I hate playing with other people anything that has story in it. Mindlesly shooting bunch of bots in some arena is something completly different.

[visual mortar]

Filbert Dungburg

[rose ocean]

Then maybe a coop dlc

Coop and solo dlc

[visual mortar]

are you talking about stalker 2

because coop will never come

[rose ocean]

[hallow shadow]

It’ll just be PvP.

[visual mortar]

SoC multiplayer was pretty fun

[rose ocean]

Ye same

[visual mortar]

so if they just remake it and modernize it a little

[static light]

Coop would be fun for me to play with my dad but I probably wouldn't play it with randos

[coarse falcon]

I think there will be too many cheaters for it to work any good. People are worst part of MP imo.

[hallow shadow]

Rando-coop sounds immensely painful.

I couldn’t imagine loading in without already picking my partner.

[visual mortar]

they should like have a wave mode

[rose ocean]

Btw I have a question! I see many videos about the first stalker games they look fire but I only play the stalker 2 game ( new one ) I really thinking about buying and play the old one stalker game so my question is : did you think its a good idea to play the old one even if I finish the news one

[hallow shadow]

They’d also have to nix cross-platform requirements for PvP.
Or it’ll be a one sided stomp.

[coarse falcon]

Yea, OG games are great.

[static light]

The old ones a good and there's a huge base of mods now too

[pale ocean]

Recommend saving the money and just buying the trilogy.

[worn drum]

yeah and maybe they should make a character creator for potential co op also

[pale ocean]

You get em all. Old and new versions.

[coarse falcon]

And if you get EE, you will get unupgraded OGs as well. Preety sweet deal if you ask me.

[worn drum]

that way you can make your dad be the stalker waifu you wanted

[rose ocean]

Ok boys appreciate your feedback about the old stalker games I think I gonna play it asap lol

[hallow shadow]

Honestly, that’s excessive, for the environment.
I’d say “pick a faction”
Does Skif get a Merc escort? Ward? Duty?

[rose ocean]

I gonna check that on the Xbox store

[pale ocean]

And if you’re really feelin’ spunky, give Anomaly a whirl. It’s free when you already own the games.

[visual mortar]

yes completely different experience

[pale ocean]

Not on Xbox unfortunately. Just the EEs.

[hallow shadow]

Player 2 would almost always be the Veteran player, for that option.

“Bro. You host. I’ll just walk you through.”
