[wooden walrus]

...and that there aren't any obvious conflicts, ofc

[carmine marsh]

hard to tell with the lot of them, only big ones is OXA prototype and unrestricted weapon upgrades, but I keep crashing while running around not modding weapons (I havent got that far yet)

[wooden walrus]

there's an oxa thread here, and another one on gamma (I have no idea which one oxide prefers)

[hallow shadow]

What kind of A Life mods you got?

[wooden walrus]

but oxa proto is very comprehensive so it's easy that there could be conflicts

you could try putting it dead last on your load order, at least it won't get stepped over

[hallow shadow]

Is OXA compatible with BB?

I feel like there would be similar edits.

[wooden walrus]

I'm planning on an oxa proto run but I still don't trust the state of post 1.6 mods lol

[hallow shadow]

Console has to catch up to the current versions of most mods. We only have a few.

We have BB, but not NPC Combat Overhaul.

So now, it’s Vanilla Aimbot NPCs, with BB damage.
I’ve cheeki’d my last Breeki.

[carmine marsh]

didn't know there was a load order tbh

only have a few mods tho ```
OXA prototype
Ledge grabbing
Realistic enemy damage + headshot
Longer sprinting
Unrestricted Equiptment Upgrades
Groks mutant health
No awaken (was crashing before adding this)

[wooden walrus]

depends on what you're using to manage your mods, but standalone there's two load order methods actually lol

[hallow shadow]

On console, there’s no real guide.

I wish there was, cause I’d properly sort my LO so fast

[wooden walrus]

there's the typical "zzzz" on front, but in the case of stalker 2, you'll also see some mods end with "_[number]_P"

[hallow shadow]

But the console interface seems to auto sort.

[wooden walrus]

if that's present on the file name, that will be the de facto load order

oxa I think uses 50_P

but anyway:

[shell flax]

Grok’s mutant mod has people on the nexus saying it broke their game

I’m also confused why the guy is running two damage tuning mods

[ebon blade]

So they are trying to use a Mod created before the 1.0 patch came out?

[shell flax]

I’m trying to help the dude in the OXA thread here

[wooden walrus]

• Ledge grabbing: At least partially broken as per posts in nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/204?tab=posts
• Realistic Damage: oxa uses own ballistic overhaul so it's going to conflict (and idk which one 'cause of the generic name but the one I saw hasn't been updated since like, 2024 lol)
• Longer Sprinting: Same, the one I could find in nexus was last updated november 24
• Unrestricted Equipment Upgrades: Definitely will conflict with OXA, and looks like it hasn't been updated since september (at least the one I could find)
• Grok's mods haven't been updated since november 24

I would recommend taking everything off except the very latest version of oxa.

wish I could help with a mutant mod but mutants reworked (which is the one I was using) hasn't been updated to 1.6

1.6 absolutely flipped the bish on the fundamentals of mod integration, so you need to make sure any mods you're downloading on 1.6 are compatible with 1.6

that means, they need to have been updated roughly in the last 20ish days, and even then I'd check the nexus posts

[shell flax]

Oxide has a big ass red label on his mod saying anything that modifies mutants, guns etc is incompatible with prototype unless directly stated otherwise

And groks stuff being dead essentially means you’re shit out of luck, especially since a guy on the nexus said he tried reaching out only to get radio silence

[carmine marsh]

alright so uninstalled more mods, will check and remove more if needed

sadge so much is broken currently

[wooden walrus]

yeah I'd start with oxa proto and then work up from there. I know oxa is working 'cause I've been following up on its state

[shell flax]

Got some bad news further on the Grok stuff, you might’ve borked your save with it if others on the Nexus are to be believed

[wooden walrus]

yeah 1.6 has been a pretty radical change for most mods

[shell flax]

I honestly believe grok should at least put a warning up on the Mod that it’s dead

[wooden walrus]

I don't think much is needed, but since the integration method has changed, most of them need at least a rewrite

[carmine marsh]

damn, guess I'll have to run to zalisya again :(

[wooden walrus]

I'd definitely leave any ballistic overhauls and upgrade changes alone if playing oxa proto, 'cause that mod already covers that. Rest I'm sure you'll be able to find alternatives rather easily

[shell flax]

Just take this as a learning experience to be a bit more selective on mods

I sure as hell borked my stuff a few times

[carmine marsh]

I just expected the most downlaoded mods to be working :P

[shell flax]

Check by updated from now on, most downloaded isn’t reliable with GSCs pace currently

[wooden walrus]

basically what happened is that up to 1.6 you'd just make an entire new config wholesale and slap it on top of the game's cfg

now you basically just tell the game what lines you want to change with your mods

[sturdy jacinth]

Someone should make a fishing mod

[wooden walrus]

makes mods get along better, and potentially also makes them more update proof (also it's kinda the baseline standard of modding you'd expect of a modern game lol)

[shell flax]

Also avoid any S2 stuff with Grok in it unless it’s brand new

[wooden walrus]

buut far as I know mods need to be brought up to the new standard or they won't work.

[sturdy jacinth]

Avoid grok in general

[shell flax]

Which I doubt will happen considering the man apparently doesn’t like S2

[wooden walrus]

I think his mods are some of the best rebalances in 2, honestly.

for all the HaRdCOaR reputation gamma garners, his mods are some of the more sensible ones (alongside with our lord and savior maklane)

unfortunately both authors are currently off 2, probably none of theirs work at this point in time.

[shell flax]

I personally think Wool, Kazz, Kyne, Shay and Oxide beat grok out on overhauls

Haven’t used enough of Maklanes stuff to get an opinion

Ace is who I go to to make the game gorgeous to combine with the overhauls

It also helps that I can actually communicate with those I listed and not have to go through a near corporate bug report session

[weary hedge]

Fr

There’s already catfish in the game

[carmine marsh]

alright now down to only oxa, and will remake my save again

[shell flax]

I’m genuinely curious why Grok is seen as some kinda anti christ, did he do some shit in the past or is it mainly GAMMA?

[carmine marsh]

oh wait, and reshade that I forgot I added

[wooden walrus]

reshade's probably fine

[carmine marsh]

I really wish there was an option to skip the starting bit, I can go and make dinner before even the first starting video is done

[wooden walrus]

lol funny that you say that,

There was a mod for it. But I wouldn't count on it working rn

yeahh last updated december. Won't even bother linking it.

[carmine marsh]

it worked, but I removed all mods besides oxa

[wooden walrus]

but it was working on 1.5.3 so hey

[wooden walrus]

I mean the rest you've mentioned shouldn't need a new game so you could just drop them in and see if they work

(as long as they state to be working in 1.6 obv)

[robust pendant]

Its mostly funny that he always brings up gamma, no matter the topic of conversation

[wooden walrus]

longer sprinting, mutant rebalance, even ballistic overhauls are just mostly flipping some numbers in cfgs so you should be safe to plop em into an in progress game

[robust pendant]

Imagine you, yourself, made a mod for stalker, and now you are promoting it everywhere. Thats basically the funny thing here

[shell flax]

so he just got too zealous and now people are annoyed as shit?

[weary hedge]

Bro almost got his life ended because of a switch 😭

[robust pendant]

I remember a reddit post of someone asking for games to play after losing a loved one (I dont remember in which reddit place it was, but I think it wasn't on the stalker subreddit) and he was like:
"Im so sorry to hear. Maybe you should try Gamma"

[weary hedge]

Always use 2 hands people

[shell flax]

[robust pendant]

Idk, its funny but weird at the same time, like watching black mirror in real time

[shell flax]

You’re shitting me

[robust pendant]

About what

[wooden walrus]

I mean man's curated 550 mods to work together, I'd probably plug it in too

[shell flax]

Plugging his pack on a grief post

[robust pendant]

Its was a grief post asking for games to play

I mean, yeah, he got what he wanted. But like, why promoting your own stuff

[wooden walrus]

kinda weird asking what games to play after losing a loved one tbh

[shell flax]

No not really

Grief comes in multiple forms

[wooden walrus]

I know someone who's been through that recently and the last thing on their mind was "what should I play"

though I get that you'd want to get your head off that I suppose

[shell flax]

And I know people who lock themselves in a comfort game for months

[weary hedge]

Gah damn I love pickles

[shell flax]

You tried pickled peppers?

[weary hedge]

Banana peppers?

I’ve had various kinds. But anything pickled slaps really

[shell flax]

Nah, my pick is more Jalepenos or habs

[weary hedge]

Those both go crazy

[carmine marsh]

modpack*

[sturdy jacinth]

It’s just gamma lol, talking bad on gamma is my top 3 hobbys

[hallow shadow]

“Ohh, ya know. I roar a little, here. Suck some blood, there. Buncha hosers in gas masks don’t bother me none.”

[shell flax]

Ok because the way some of y’all talk about him it sounds like he did some cartoonishly evil stuff

Also, about to sell Bolero in Pripyiat enough gear to supply two platoons because Shay’s QoL is funny

Just under 500k

[robust pendant]

I was putting an example, not referring especifically for a modpack

Although, now that you say it, when saying its a modpack it makes it even worse

[ebon blade]

There's a meme that might explain that. I can't verify its accuracy though.

In all my personal dealings with Grok, he has always been fair, polite and has been a nice person.

[ebon blade]

Yeah, so close to blowing his own brains out.

[weary hedge]

What a memory for his kid to have.

[jade moss]

he said the thing

[weary hedge]

I just had a thought. Does anything special happen if you consume fresh bread while having the weird pot equipped like Limited Edition Non-Stop?

[hallow shadow]

Oh dude. That would be sick.

HP buff.

At least. That’s what I’d hope for.

[weary hedge]

I wonder if it’s even been tested. Surely it has

[ebon blade]

Looks like you were on to something when I asked Google AI.

[hearty tendon]

Is that really true? That weird pot and limited edition increases carry weight permanently?

I have always saved my limited edition drinks

Though with this loot overhaul mod I have, I find enemies will rarely carry the drink too

I might increase my carry weight by a bit too much

[ebon blade]

No matter what you do, with upgrades, an Exo or artifacts, you top at at 140kg.

[hearty tendon]

Does weird water top out at 140kg? Or is it less

I think I remember reading it got nerfed in some way but I never really used it except to clear my radiation when I was out of vodka and anti-rad

[ebon blade]

All actions cannot exceed your carrying weight beyond 140 kg unless you use some Mod, that I don't know about.

[hearty tendon]

I just mean the weird water by itself, would that alone bring you up to 140kg?

[ebon blade]

How many times do I have to keep saying the same thing?

[hearty tendon]

Nevermind, I looked it up and I see the weird water doesn't max out carry weight, it only increases it by 40kg

[ebon blade]

I'm telling you again and again, no matter what your carrying weight is through upgrading armors,
or getting any Exo, or using Weird Pot or Weird Water, your carrying weight cannot exceed 140 kg.

[hearty tendon]

I never asked that, I was asking if the weird water by itself brought you to the 140kg max carry weight, so you wouldn't need to bother with upgrades

[ebon blade]

You don't want to use the Weird Water all the time. It makes you move like a drunk and increases the saturation of brightness.

[weary hedge]

If you drink limited non stop energy can you go above 140 kg?

Jk

[ebon blade]

No. I've already answered that. No matter what you do, 140 kg is your limit.

[hearty tendon]

[weary hedge]

Pranked

[ebon blade]

That means if your Exo lets you carry 120 kg and you use Weird Water,
it will not increase 40 kg to 160 kg. It was cap out at the limit of 140 kg.

[weary hedge]

I wonder why people need to carry so much loot

[hearty tendon]

I used to keep it on me just in case any missions left me with too much loot to carry

But that was a few playthroughs ago

[ebon blade]

That is more or less what it was designed for.

[wanton blaze]

If its not nailed down its mine

[vapid galleon]

[vapid galleon]

[loud vector]

HUh....The last one is actualy interesting.

Time to hunt down the pot and some energy drinks

[ebon blade]

I knew about the last one, but not all the others.

[loud vector]

Welll I honestly havent bothered to hut down any of the weird artefacts

[ebon blade]

The Weird Ball and the Weird Flower are in the Lesser Zone.
I died many times trying to get the Weird Ball. The Weird
Flower is in the Poppy Fields and is hard to find somewhat.

[loud vector]

Its less I didnt know where they were
More I just didnt wanna bother with them

I mean weird ball could be somewhat effective
But standing still in fire fight?

[ebon blade]

You're more accurate standing still when you are shooting.
If you're running, it's more like using a shotgun or an SMG.

[loud vector]

awnay if I understand it corrently
By having the weird pot and drinking all 9 Limited eneergy drinks you gain aditional 4.5KG carry weight?

[ebon blade]

Yes, you have to equip it and not just have it in your inventory when you drink the limited-edition Non-stop energy drinks.

[loud vector]

Noice time to take detour from main story, which seems to be bugged RN anway, and get some carry weight

Hello Stalkers!

[vapid galleon]

@ebon blade how many hours do you have in Stalker 2? there are 1100+ video on your yt channel :D actually I should ask how many hours do you have in all Stalker games because my man has been uploading Stalker videos for 10+ years

what a guy, 4.5k video

his name might be real, could be a real Stalker

[austere pagoda]

what about homie Ace?

also my mods are rather small, wouldn't call them overhauls hha

[vapid galleon]

@toxic tendon what's up man 🤝 I'm currently watching the Gamma video "The Ultimate Modded STALKER GAMMA Experience" you posted 2.5 half weeks ago, I just wanted to say what's up

[sharp gulch]

I mean I haven't done system overhauls like he mentions

I'm the weather man, and some visual/VFX mods

[sharp gulch]

And also he did mention my name there 🥰

@fast current is also cooking. Dead Zone I think is absolutely peak flora overhaul

[sharp gulch]

Grok and anomaly, no matter how much most people here bish about them, have done wonders for Stalker as a franchise and I place a lot of the success of S2 in Anomaly, Gamma and the content creators who covered gamma

[shrewd needle]

Above are the PDAs; all related to the Freedom squad missing in Red Forest (and the Filimon guy is from Wild Territory where he gets shot by a Loner for selling information to Bandits, related to the Bandits getting tipped off by Duty).

The key, I have no idea; IDK where I picked it up but it's stuck in my inventory.

And the blank one is one of the scopes from OXA that doesn't have an inventory icon.

[robust pendant]

I wouldnt say "grok" tho, I would say all the people that contributed to the project, and then grok

[shrewd needle]

Anyone remember this?

[wicked magnet]

Indiana Jones reference

[steep flower]

@robust pendant it's his auto installer that makes it all work. No one would care if someone compiled 500 mods then released a do it yourself guide to replicate it.

[shrewd needle]

I know a lot of people hate it, but I like the Crystal Skull.

[sharp gulch]

True but gamma, like other popular mods packs was what opened up to most audiences. If it wasn't for all the modders there wouldn't be any gamma, true

[shell flax]

I’m just waiting for Pankotan’s stuff to play a bit nicer with console before checking his S2 stuff out

My PC save is precarious enough without huge sweeping flora stuff for now

[vapid galleon]

💯

[sharp gulch]

Dead Zone should work pretty well on consoles

[shrewd needle]

How to get to the roof of the Red Fortress?

[nimble condor]

Hello guys

[robust pendant]

EFP kinda does that tho, and it reached certain amount of fame

Its not about the installer, its that multiple people talked abou t it and made it popular

[shrewd needle]

Climbing in all the wrong places.

Now how do I get back down?

THANKS, GSC, for making everything inaccessible.

[sharp gulch]

Aim for the bushes

[shrewd needle]

Why? You're hiding there to loot me once I land?

Or, well...I'll land on top of you and soften the impact. 😏

Crap, I can't get down; time to cheat.

[oak junco]

wish gsc was based and let you explore

[shrewd needle]

Same. It's a pain to be unable to explore.

Miss the time when you could just break out of Yantar and explore as you want. Now...I die of radiation before I can break out and even if I do...well...

But...God Mode + some other cheats = can explore somewhat.

[fervent summit]

hai everyone

[stark crescent]

Ahh, strelok. Just the man i was looking for.

I love how the questions about harpy are ignored once again, but they have time to answer a yet another game engine update question.

[tepid goblet]

yop. whats ur system config to play Stalker 2?
ive an RTX 2080 SUPER w a i5 12400f, i need to put the game on low graphics 😭 and still have lags

[fervent summit]

What resolution are you playing on

[split viper]

Framegen is pretty much a requirement tbh, you’re gonna have a rough time.

You could try using the Ultra+ mod and run the game at DLSS perf or ultra perf as it still looks good with the mod

At that point you’ll probably be CPU bottlenecked though. Easiest solution unfortunately is either suffer or upgrade

Engine upgrade should improve your situation a decent bit

[stark crescent]

yea, you need fsr 3.1 turned on to get anything higher in fps. i just throw on dlss quality with fsr 3.1. the game looks ugly, the animations produce shadowing, lighting is messed up. different scenes are overlapping causing a heat wave like distortion

but other than that, the game is completely playable

[dire socket]

I love soc

[tepid goblet]

wooooooooooookay, i turned off dlss to fsr, apparently better now thanks, but still need to put on medium - low
resolution 1920 per 1080p
but if i install mod for reshade (eg) the achievements will be turns off, and i wont that

but its more playable

[shrewd needle]

I don't think ReShade counts as a 'modification' like others.

[shrewd needle]

Going in all the wrong places: #📸┃screens_and_videos message

Thanks, GSC, for the shitty, fake radiation.

Lots of tricky platforming. You can get up there via the scaffolding on the one corner.

Nothing. Technical difficulties.

[plain fiber]

Man, browsing Discord on a 2K monitor is an experience.

Kind of wish I did go with a curved one though...

[tepid goblet]

which one then? (if its could be fair)

[stark crescent]

since the newer generation lost the ability to search stuff up on their own, even tho they were literally born with google search

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1493

[shrewd needle]

No, I know that; there was just no way from the third to the fourth level.

I guess the ladder/ramp only shows up once it's time. 'Cause I've not even been to the Detention Centre.

[tepid goblet]

great, thats a nice answer atleast. Thanks for your knowledge!

[plain fiber]

I got up to the roof and I still have to head to Clear Sky's base in the Swamps. There was nothing stopping me, though this was a few patches ago.

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but like I said, I found no way to go up. No connection between the third and fourth floors.

[plain fiber]

I'll have to check again later in the week if I have the time.

From what I remember, it's not obvious, and you really have to look, think, and commit to some tricky platforming.

[shrewd needle]

Well...I tried thrice and fell off to the ground, right into an electric anomaly.

Dead ruins of a dead world. Sad fate.

Teleported back to the Red Fortress (not running for 2 KM again) and you can see here, @plain fiber - no way to get up on either side.

Online guide said there's boxes to climb, but I don't see any.

[stark crescent]

you dont see any boxes?

[shrewd needle]

I mean, check these images. No stack of boxes.

[hallow shadow]

Yay! More Xbox mod updates!

[shrewd needle]

BUT...

I jumped on the scaffolding beams (showing from the other side).

So you're right that it requires tricky platforming.

I guess that when the time comes, there's the boxes that lead up which don't exist before-hand.

Boxes seem to be on the fifth level...

OK, I finally am at the top. Thanks for the tip, Tim!

[obtuse veldt]

hmm...

Im starting to believe why most of the original trilogy cast gets killed.
Probably to start a new slate on a either new story about the zone or expand it so its now global, so everyone suffer what people inside the zone is now suffering.

[shrewd needle]

Why?

[hallow shadow]

Cause political chat reasons we can’t get into.

[obtuse veldt]

Skif probably knew at that point that Neither the Ward or Spark was an option, Strelok wasnt going to be an option either when a PDA rambling pointed his madness, and Kaymanov wanted to make things right, the zone should not be controlled or nullified, but rather freed.

[hallow shadow]

For real. Has anyone asked The Zone about how the Zone feels about what should be done with it?

I usually go Ward.
Mostly cause.. Skif is just here to cure homelessness.
That’s it.
The Zone’s problems aren’t Skif’s problems.

[obtuse veldt]

For real, in STALKER 2 the ammount of assholes have increased lately

[shrewd needle]

"The greater the suffering, the greater the peace."

[obtuse veldt]

I hope britain gets destroyed in stalker 3

[shrewd needle]

I mean...they got exposed to the brain-rot of 2020s.

[hallow shadow]

Skid didn’t make nothing.
HIS HOUSE BLEW UP

[shrewd needle]

Yea, but he went to the Zone to find a solution. Thus...his problem became the Zone's problem.

That's why Skif ends up having to make the choices as to what happens to the Zone. 😏

[obtuse veldt]

Skif became literally the zone

[hallow shadow]

Skif is a victim of homelessness, and “glowing rock immolated my apartment” isn’t a viable insurance claim.

The Zone is just a Zip-Code sized obstacle course.

[obtuse veldt]

Said "F*** it, im making my problem everyone problem now"

[tall hawk]

skif is a gigachad

[hallow shadow]

More like “Only my problem matters to me, these problems here existed before me.”

[shrewd needle]

TBF, he was homeless long before the rock crashed through...man never had a purpose in life.

[obtuse veldt]

Insurance companies are going to dissapear after that shit

[shrewd needle]

NGL, that'd be one of the best things that could happen.

[hallow shadow]

He spent a few years UAMC.

[shrewd needle]

Also, I just fell inside the Red Forest and that's creepy as hell.

[hallow shadow]

We could only hope.

[shrewd needle]

That's just duty. I'm talking about purpose in life.

Smuggling dummy artifacts, smoking and drinking in front of the TV...not much of a life.

[hallow shadow]

“Purpose” is capitalist propaganda.
Existing is all there is.

[hallow shadow]

That’s not a bad way to live. If it works.

[obtuse veldt]

Well the part that surprises me is he being called Envoy of the Monolith

[hallow shadow]

I haven’t gotten that far.

But it sounds like Skif was always supposed to be a pawn. He got set up.

[obtuse veldt]

A pawn determined to reach his goal no matter what

[hallow shadow]

Which means, my callous Skif would make sense. I would hate to find out SIRCAA/Agatha is playing games with my life.

I’d burn the whole Zone down for it, or die trying.

I’m autistic as hell.
The concept of betrayal really doesn’t sit well with me. Super justice oriented.

[burnt bridge]

Hello I have a question for anyone that knows, maybe it’s happened before. Once we get 1.7 does that mean all the mod will need to update again?? Like what has just happened

[obtuse veldt]

Yes

[shrewd needle]

IDK...one not knowing what to do in life sounds like a pain.

[hallow shadow]

Depends on what’s packed in 1.7, but to be safe. Yes. I would assume as much.

[burnt bridge]

That sucks thank you tho

[hallow shadow]

Being told one’s life must be spent towards something sounds like an unnecessary stress.

[hallow shadow]

It only sucks because Xbox mods are slow to catch up.
Once GSC figures out a better pressure relief for Mods on console, we won’t be singing this tune anymore.

[shrewd needle]

I mean, there has to be a point to something, no? Not everyone's nihilistic.

[hallow shadow]

True. Not everyone is nihilistic.
But we would have to get into “systemic” issues, that would get Tejas in here spamming Sucker gifs.

[burnt bridge]

I’ll pray they get a decent system up before 1.7 🙏

[obtuse veldt]

I wonder if 1.7 has Master difficulty

[hallow shadow]

I’m expecting the Mod Improvements with the Engine Swap.

But 1.7 would be the earliest the Mod Fix happens.
Yes. Let us pray, in the name of the Monolith.

[shrewd needle]

That...is agreeable.

[burnt bridge]

[hallow shadow]

We can chat “philosophy”, in here, I’m sure.
But the eco political way we live affects this.
We would inevitably turn into a “political” chat, and start breaking rules.

[shrewd needle]

No, I agree with you and my prior philosophical chats have gone down the drain, so I shall refrain as well...but you know what?

We might disagree on purpose, but you can't deny...now that is a view worth doing something for.

[hallow shadow]

“Skif, tell me.. Have you ever lost something you loved? What happened?”
-Richter

[hallow shadow]

Where are you? Garbage?

No. Not from that angle.

[shrewd needle]

Top of the Red Fortress (you can see the Cooling Tower) out there.

[hallow shadow]

Siiiick.

[shrewd needle]

It truly is, though I actually fell inside through the roof to a half-modelled interior; had to cheat my way back outside, but where I am (a stair-way) is accessible normally. Ladder to the roof is broken, but I'll cheat my way up there to get a better view.

[hallow shadow]

There’s a mod for Console Commands (Cheat Terminal) soon to come for Console.
Can’t wait to No Clip my way into the sky and actually see the Zone.

[shrewd needle]

You should; it's something else entirely, seeing it like that.

Oh, oh...I also got the Hell Edition.

[hallow shadow]

Now that Wool’s mods are updated on console.
It’s time for me to start over.

No more Aimbot NPCs tagging me through the brush like it’s a Rice Paddy

[shrewd needle]

From the Cooling Tower to Hell.

"But had they a soul, would they shamble along for the profits, as zombies to brains? Or they do so, for fear of finding a soul otherwise and losing their shaky foundations of sanity?"

[shrewd needle]

I'll be honest, I'd never believe you're a Ward member even if Korshunov himself told me.

Rip Cayde-6 🍜

[thorn niche]

I like how they tried to make a knock-off Cayde in the mobile game, lol

[molten parrot]

Where can I find ammunition against mutants? Cant find anyone who sells it. Not rostok nor malachite.

[wicked magnet]

Pripyat

[molten parrot]

Still in mid game though

[shrewd needle]

Can go to Pripyat either ways...either cheat (console or trainer) or find a method to cross the wall on YT.

[molten parrot]

Wont that break the story progression?

[shrewd needle]

No.

[molten parrot]

||if i get to degtayrev before the quest yk||

[main jewel]

is there a suppressor for the mosin in this game

[shrewd needle]

He doesn't exist before the mission.

[main jewel]

yall those methods are patched i think

nothing stopping you from launching yourself with an anomaly tho

[shell flax]

[main jewel]

a duty pfp with the ward role

[vernal lily]

Interesting sticker name

[shell flax]

What kinda shit

[main jewel]

i didnt make these sticker names

dont blame me

[vernal lily]

• private server

[main jewel]

that doesnt mean i made them..

[tepid goblet]

love yur name

[hallow shadow]

Sometimes. I wanna kill Squint.

[main jewel]

imagine one of the stalker dlc’s includes a last surviving clear sky member

[north thistle]

Thx brother

[hallow shadow]

Squint reminds me of Patches (Dark Souls), and I just wanna kill him on principle.

I love this whole “driving through an emission” thing.
Absolute cinema.

[stark crescent]

You expect shock, but all you do is fullfill expectations

[shrewd needle]

This is why you don't invest in the get-rich-quick scheme called 'being a stalker'.

[topaz grove]

I love finding pieces of lore in random places of the Zone, especially if its not a single PDA but a subplot or a puzzle to open a stash location

[frigid hill]

freeeagle has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[solemn pine]

i swear this guy tries to spam scam links like crazy 💀

[frigid hill]

freeeagle has been banned

Reason: scam

[cobalt jewel]

i just oppened discord, what happened

[hardy totem]

Compromised/bot account

Nothing special

[cobalt jewel]

i was playing stalker clear sky

playing it after shadow of chernobyl feels kind of off for sum reason

[shrewd needle]

Remove the @quiet tartan account too; potential phishing risk (can see in #s2-lore-discussions).

[hardy totem]

The swamps are a huge change of pace compared to SoC

[shrewd needle]

Agreed.

[hearty tendon]

[shrewd needle]

Time to clean out the Cordon...last place before I rush the story.

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/eric-andre-let-me-wahh-wild-go-gif-13490041

Anyone know what this door's related to?

[shell flax]

Quiet side mission

[solemn pine]

I know, but because I saw how fast they were sending these scam links I was like "Bro are my eyes deceiving me" since I never saw them sending links any faster than like each 5-8sec for every channel

[shrewd needle]

Ah...is that unlocked with story?

[hallow shadow]

I love how all the rifles these dudes were just ventilating me with are now magically broken.

[shrewd needle]

And I love how the Cordon gate also has the same non-sniper one-shot instant-kill mechanic like the Duga.

[main jewel]

i wonder why some ecologist suits are green

i also wonder why we cant get a green one

[quiet tartan]

Such a nice name , so how are you doing@main jewel

[main jewel]

i am doing okay.. hru

[shell flax]

Yes, quiet himself will call you once you unlock it

[shrewd needle]

SSP-99M; militarized version of the orange ones. Inaccessible.

[main jewel]

ssp 99m

[shrewd needle]

Ah, fair.

[main jewel]

yes i want it

[shrewd needle]

Can't.

[main jewel]

it would make sense to have it in the locked room in the bunker in the military checkpoint in the cordon where you get a special item for a quest that i will not name

[main jewel]

i dont care.. i want it

[shrewd needle]

It's the spoiler channel and IDC for spoilers.

[shrewd needle]

Be a modification developer, then.

[main jewel]

aye aye captain

[main jewel]

oh well id rather not spoil it for the small group of people that completely ignore the no spoilers general but still dont want any spoilers

[shrewd needle]

They should go to #⭐┃nospoilers_general. Or cope.

[main jewel]

i stillll wanna be respectful

[shrewd needle]

Skill issue.

[main jewel]

i wonder why they didnt add spp 99m tho

its just a recolor with different stats

[shrewd needle]

It stopped existing after SoC. CS, CoP and now S2 have made it inaccessible.

[weary hedge]

Since when is having human decency a skill issue? 😏

[shrewd needle]

Well, I just showed a huge amount of decency to the IPSF at the Cordon check-point by shooting them up. Just like the good old days. 😏

Except now, Sidorovich pays me a paltry sum for all their gears, so that changed. 😔

[main jewel]

cs-1 armor wouldve been cool to have as a unique armor instead of that merc light suit

[shrewd needle]

That requires Novikov, you know.

[dull osprey]

yo mama requires novikov

[shrewd needle]

Profile checks out.

[primal nimbus]

Wtf

[main jewel]

well if it’s forgotten in a journalist stash at the clear sky base nott really

i wish there were more unique things in stalker 2 anyway

[main jewel]

king of the stupid hill

[primal nimbus]

Idk man this title seems to have more deserving people in this server than me 💀

[smoky lintel]

Is anyone else having the struggle of crashing 3/4 times when loading a save?

[dull osprey]

yea!

[shell flax]

What mods

[smoky lintel]

It happens even when removing all mods and a fresh install

[primal nimbus]

Yeah I agree 💀

[shell flax]

If you’ve removed deep overhaul mods, your save is screwed

[main jewel]

you could put a bigger faust quote if you didnt have what you have in your bio

[weary hedge]

All monolith are femboys

[smoky lintel]

I have most of the mods back on and once the save loads it will run fine for HOURS but when I go to load any quicksaves or autosaves it crashes and the reason is something related to not being able to attach player camera or something

[weary hedge]

@dull osprey your profile is the same color as a stone blood

specifically cs and cop

[primal nimbus]

“It’s Chernobyl.”

“No! It’s Chornobyl.”

Nah. It’s Chromenobyl.
-# This is a stupid joke. Pls no cheeki breeki. Just bread react

[main jewel]

ill bread you

[primal nimbus]

Aite

[shrewd needle]

Considering Nimble got that one in CoP for Degtyarev, doubt there'd be one at the CS Base. Faust would re-purpose them.

[shrewd needle]

Always for a reason, especially when someone has a profile like that.

[primal nimbus]

Yep. Every once in a while

[north thistle]

How do I spread word of Monolith?

[main jewel]

well i assume there was multiples of those armors it would be kinda silly to just have one

[north thistle]

Oh wait wrong thing

[shrewd needle]

You know, Monolith got standards, right?

'Cause most of the 'washed' turn to zombies.

[primal nimbus]

Be very charismatic and know what Monolith sounding preacher lines to make, as a start.

[main jewel]

i wonder who even came up with the monolith femboy thing

[shrewd needle]

Yes, and they all got used by and in Clear Sky.

Nimble got the last copy, just like he got the last Exo-Skeleton. Except they resumed production of the ES by the time of S2, but CS is gone. Dead. Finished.

[primal nimbus]

Excellent question. Same as the Freedomer Mutant thing (which is lowley true tho)

[weary hedge]

Not from what I’ve seen😭

[main jewel]

ngl tho id much rather have that than a worse reskin of the merc suit

[weary hedge]

Their dedicated server is certainly…something.

[main jewel]

it saves time tho to just reskin sigh

[primal nimbus]

Ngl, if I made a new run, I won’t mind the Merc Light suit early game

[shrewd needle]

You ain't seen enough. 😏

Can't say about Discord; social media turns everything into brain-rot. 😔

[main jewel]

you can easily just rush to the stash for the normal merc suit tho

[shrewd needle]

Precisely.

[main jewel]

like right when you get into zalissya.. infact if you just know the code you can get the ssp 99 too

or seqrch it up

[primal nimbus]

Yeah. True. At least the light suit can offer better protection as I search for them. Also gonna save the SSP99 for surveys and whatnot

[weary hedge]

I’d rather not tbh. I’ve seen some respectable individuals but the majority of the fanbase is not what you would expect.

But yes social platforming is a hell of an influence on such behaviors.

[main jewel]

yea true

[primal nimbus]

Considering I have the Diamond exo rn, is the SSP 99 worth to keep?

[shrewd needle]

Told you.

[weary hedge]

No but the SSP-100i Survey is.

[shrewd needle]

For a collection? Sure. For usage...no.

[main jewel]

no… the sircaa one is the best..

[primal nimbus]

To keep right?

[shrewd needle]

It's the same as the Survey...

[primal nimbus]

Ngl I just don’t feel like keeping it since I’m late game (still not in Pripyat but am but don’t ask how)

[weary hedge]

More leaded artifact containers, good anomalous protection and a lighter option. Also cheaper to repair.

At the cost of one less bar of physical protection.

[primal nimbus]

Heck it I’m selling it

[weary hedge]

If ur all about combat stick with the exo

[main jewel]

its not.. it has better psi protection and a little more rad protection its weight is also less

but also 1 less artifact slot

[shrewd needle]

I'll check when I get a Survey.

[weary hedge]

1 less arti slot is not worth the switch for extra rad and psi protection tbh.

[main jewel]

its like more value tho so i just sell it

[weary hedge]

If you experienced in the game psi renders close to a useless stat.

[primal nimbus]

Combat and carrying junk around. At the same time, the protection elsewhere seemed decent

[weary hedge]

Exo is your gig then. The diamond variant has the most durability out of the bunch.

[primal nimbus]

Yeah. I start appreciating exos unless you’re the Bulwark Exo

[weary hedge]

Bulwark and Cuirass are the worst options.

[shrewd needle]

The SIRCAA one can be upgraded to have 5 slots.

[main jewel]

im not upgrading tha

[primal nimbus]

Forgot Cuirass existed

What yall think on the Merc suits (including the Exo)

[main jewel]

i dont use them

[weary hedge]

You can find one in the cooling towers area for some easy cash.

[main jewel]

i use the zircon, or the convoy, or whatever i find on the ground until i get the gray ward exo

[shrewd needle]

Mercenary ES is one of the worst, right beside Shield Of Duty.

Freedom is somehow the one with the best gear, which is unbalanced as shit.

Though Duty/Mercenary one has high armour and radiation protection, so if you're using solely for that, it's good.

TBF, all the ES have good armour/radiation protection.

[loud vector]

Ok why the frick frack
Is the ONE flipping exo suit we can find early in tghe legits ways
The ONLY friggin one without sprint upgrade?

[shrewd needle]

Because 'muh progression'.

Story, in this case.

[weary hedge]

GSC loves their freedom.😏

Guardian of freedom is easily the best early game suit to pick up and it’s right there in garbage.

[primal nimbus]

So you mean to tell me GSC is Freedom biased?

[shell flax]

Probably some of my favorite suits

[loud vector]

I eman it used to be that Duty had the better gear XD

in previous games

[primal nimbus]

Damn, equipment quality even went down overtime with their reputation under Voronin. In Zulu we trust

[shrewd needle]

Actually, you need to drop in from the Rostok side, since it's up near the pipe. But yea.

[weary hedge]

It’s located at the Brood which is within garbage.

[shrewd needle]

TBF, can blame GSC for that, but Duty still has equivalent armour...just that their anomaly protection sucks (as in the trilogy).

[loud vector]

Or you can just sprint to the cement factory
And Grab Seva D from the Cage, adn than wear it till you can get your ahnds on Falcon XD

[cedar lintel]

Do you guys ever think the game will look like the trailers?

[primal nimbus]

Ngl I forgot how close the Brood are to Rostok. Like I took a minute or two sprint then boom. I’m at the Brood.

[shrewd needle]

Oh, that...I always get the one on the Garbage-Rostok gate first, so...I forgor.

[loud vector]

Maybe?

[shrewd needle]

I mean, they're being funded by Freedom, just like the Commissary with Duty, so makes sense.

[primal nimbus]

Given how easily Dutyers get folded by blind dogs in the older games, understandable.

[cedar lintel]

Also when do you guys think we will get hardware ray tracing? Lumen is terrible

[weary hedge]

You might be thinking of the wind of freedom suit. Which is just barely inside the garbage border.

[primal nimbus]

Hopefully

[dull osprey]

turn the brain scorcher back on and induce psi emissions

[shrewd needle]

TBF, in the old games, they also had heavy equipment, including the LMG.

In S2, most of the NPCs use garbage gear. And the AI is...questionable.

[shell flax]

there’s a guardian of freedom right by the Brood

[north thistle]

(:

[dull osprey]

omg i forgot i had nitro

[main jewel]

how..

[dull osprey]

idk, someone gifted it to me

[primal nimbus]

I find the AI in all Stalkers questionable

[dull osprey]

why is ur tag.. that..

[north thistle]

The Monolith demands you give me your nitro

[shrewd needle]

Right, right...I got confused. Though the WoF is one of the best 'low-end' suits, but I keep forgetting the one near the Brood completely.

[north thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-peabody-hypnotize-gif-18017563854157472082

[main jewel]

why not dont be hating

[primal nimbus]

I just noticed that 💀

[shrewd needle]

They could still hold their own (especially the Duty and Freedom squads in Garbage in CS with the turf wars).

[loud vector]

I cant give you Nitro
But...aims Dnipro
I can give you 5x45x39 AP trough the dome you damm monolithia!!

[north thistle]

No

No you can’t

[shell flax]

Also, think I finally locked in on the faction I want to recreate

Going Mercs

[primal nimbus]

[shell flax]

Now do I go basic merc suit or wolfhound

[loud vector]

Ok question is there ever given reason WHY the mercs try to murder you on sight?
Or the army

[primal nimbus]

Wolfhound

[shrewd needle]

Both are shit at everything except armour (well, depending on the suit).

[loud vector]

Falcon

[north thistle]

Because theyre jealous

[shrewd needle]

Brummbar ES is also meh.

[weary hedge]

I gotcha.

Surprisingly GSC added a duty suit in garbage recently. It’s the recruit suit and it’s located at the Detention Center

[shell flax]

Read the post again. I’m saying which one I’m gonna make irl.

[shrewd needle]

Explains a lot; that suit was basically non-existent for player use (I had to spawn mine in.)

[weary hedge]

Falcon is better

[north thistle]

They mad because they don’t have a purpose 🗿

[shell flax]

Schizophrenic Camo

[shrewd needle]

Ah, IRL...

[loud vector]

I wish they added Sprint upgrade for Cuirass XD

[north thistle]

The Curiass’ only drawback

[primal nimbus]

I loving getting my life in danger over getting an artifact, stealing things from other stalkers, or even killing stalkers for a contract that covers my equipment repairs and resupplies (with an extra crisp 5 bucks), while also having the possibility of getting betrayed by my fellow Mercs.

[loud vector]

Also the ONLY exo without a sprint upgrade

[shrewd needle]

TBF, that's the point of the Cuirass...to give you high-end protection with a down-side.

'Muh progression' moment.

[north thistle]

I know

Not that I’d ever know what that’s like

[shrewd needle]

You can just buy the Shield Of Duty at the trader, I think...

[north thistle]

flexes Diamond Exoskeleton

[loud vector]

No you realy cant

[shrewd needle]

Play SoC/CS and you'll know.

[north thistle]

I did play them

[shrewd needle]

Then you know.

[main jewel]

lowkey boring ahh exo

i like the look of the 2 ward ones

[north thistle]

Mf I don’t use the exo in CS or SoC

[shell flax]

Nope, Bulwark doesn’t have one either

[north thistle]

Yes it does

[loud vector]

@shrewd needle The only I way I have seen somebody aquire that armour
Was killing somebody who has that armour
Letting some NPC loot the dead guy
than killing the the guy that looted that guy you killed previously

[shrewd needle]

Skill issue. Can't beat protection.

[shell flax]

Bulwark, not Liberty

[north thistle]

Mobility is quite literally a requirement

[shrewd needle]

Damn...I couldn't bother with that, so I just spawned mine in.

[north thistle]

Considering how far everything always is

[shrewd needle]

Yes, well...remove the suit, move, put suit on, combat, rinse, repeat.

[north thistle]

It functions well and protects well

That’s all it needs to do to be good

[weary hedge]

Exactly. Very rare. You could only obtain via rng through duties merchant which by the time you did stumble upon that you’d have a better suit. So good to see them tweaking some balancing.

[loud vector]

Boring AF
But also best exo in the game

[shrewd needle]

I got the Diamond and I've not even been to the Detention Centre yet.

[shrewd needle]

True, true.

[north thistle]

I got the Diamond and I ain’t even in SIRCAA yet

[shell flax]

I’m using the Brummbar

[north thistle]

Hel I didn’t even get to Zaton or the Seamps

[shrewd needle]

SIRCAA is too far. I just unlocked the LZ so far.

[weary hedge]

That schizo camo still out performs the wolfhound

[dull osprey]

im not hating, infact, i love it!

[main jewel]

thank you..

[dull osprey]

read my bio dude..

[shell flax]

It looks like shit and thus is mid by default

[shrewd needle]

I cleaned out the whole map, now finishing Cordon, then I can do the story.

[main jewel]

i see it…

[north thistle]

I see

[dull osprey]

heh

[north thistle]

So am I kinda

[shrewd needle]

I love how Mercenaries and Duty got the short end of the stick in S2...for everything (except location, since Duty is better placed at the Cement Factory).

[dull osprey]

[north thistle]

Good they deserved it

[main jewel]

i wish duty had a bigger role in the game

[main jewel]

hi custom emoji

[shrewd needle]

I mean, Cement Factory is basically a choke-point to the CNPP, so it's actually better compared to Rostok.

[north thistle]

Im afraid the Ward is the new Duty my friend

[shrewd needle]

Freedom got Rostok, but Rostok is just a market. Nothing special there.

[hallow shadow]

Good ol Duty.
Those guys are funny.

[north thistle]

Yes it is

[main jewel]

no but the duty is red and black so erm i like their colors a little more

[loud vector]

Tbh I wish Tere were faction storylines again

[north thistle]

It states in the game that Rostock is the biggest market in the zone

[weary hedge]

Ikr? I’m not even a duty or merc enthusiast but I like to have a balanced loot table making it fair for everyone.

[hallow shadow]

Fashion is valid.

[loud vector]

I also agree with Duty. Zone should controled or outright eradicated

[shrewd needle]

That's what I'm saying...it's just a market vs. one of the closest routs to the CNPP.

CNPP closeness is better.

[north thistle]

Why??

[weary hedge]

The ward role speaks for itself bud.

[shrewd needle]

Because CNPP/Generators are strategically important; Rostok isn't.

If Rostok gets wiped out, no one gives a shit; there's traders everywhere.

If Cement Factory gets wiped out, everyone rushes to CNPP and causes a mess.

[main jewel]

i wonder why they didnt make the cnpp accessible

[north thistle]

Elaborate in a way that a toddler can understand

[shrewd needle]

GSC skill issue.

[north thistle]

My brain is kinda dead rn

[shrewd needle]

CNPP/Generators = the heart of the Zone...no one's supposed to go there, lest they cause a bigger disaster than there has been so far.

Rostok is basically irrelevant compared to the stakes at the center.

You can nuke Rostok from orbit and it won't matter. But you allow a path through to the Generators...well...game endings are enough to show that no one needs access to those places.

[loud vector]

Not my fault the the two factions that make most sense are also utter asshats XD

[shrewd needle]

Blame GSC for that, TBF. They didn't make a great story for anyone except the Ward.

Rest of the factions are basically faded out at this point.

[weary hedge]

Duty and ward?

[shrewd needle]

Spark only matters due to Scar being unhinged, Strelok is not a faction and Skif/Kaymanov is also not a faction.

[loud vector]

Yeeep XD

[main jewel]

dlc better make the factions more relevant

[shrewd needle]

Make the factions, first. Then worry about relevance. 😏

Current ones aren't factions, they're basically cos-players.

[weary hedge]

I mean they have to be in a way. It’s how they push control and dominance. Duty doesn’t have the funds ward receives from sircaa so they fall short of their accomplishments.

[shrewd needle]

Voronin does mention that the Ward supports them, so I guess the dynamic is maintained.

[main jewel]

thats so real actually bro duty feels more like loners with a different skin on and freedom only sits in one area

[shrewd needle]

Even Loners and Bandits...and the Corps. Literally every faction that's not the Ward is basically useless for the most part.

For the Corps, only Degtyarev actually matters, the rest of them are there to get shot.

Voronin and Myklukha are statues. Gaffer and Sultan are also statues.

[loud vector]

Like I could walk in to Duty base
Shoot the place to hell
And there would be no story affect

[main jewel]

i actually genuinely hope that gsc expands on those parts specifically

[main jewel]

yes

in rhe main storyline theres no actual reason to even go near the duty base

more like a sad little camp

[shrewd needle]

We first need a proper map accessibility; Iron Forest and CNPP are basically useless as well right now and the Generators are also useless due to being used only in 2 endings.

Not even free-roam exploration. They also need to build the Pripyat River and everything north-east.

[hallow shadow]

Duty thinks so highly of themselves, and Freedom doesn’t think about them at all.

[loud vector]

Freedom are bunch of irritating little hippies with military hadware
Who smoked too much pot to be capable of any level of higher thinking

[hallow shadow]

Duty is a bunch of washed up mutant hunters.
Anyone can do that.

[shrewd needle]

Duty has the benefit of military discipline, training and history.

Freedom is just a bunch of crack-smokers with, as Max said, too much military hardware.

[primal nimbus]

Merc DLC PLEASE

[shrewd needle]

Nah, they can think. They just don't have to (since they got the easy way out with Rostok).

[primal nimbus]

Hippies with the most accurate rifles in the Zone.

[main jewel]

Pripyat is also so crazily small too, and the amount of areas blocked off by rads in pripyat and near the cnpp is absolutely atrocious it feels so dang linear and literally most buildings in pripyat have no interiors at all… a free map expansion would be amazing rn

[shrewd needle]

I mean, any rifle is accurate, though. Just needs to be shot properly.

[hallow shadow]

I feel like the Mercs could’ve used more attention. “Mercenary” would imply some sort of versatility.
They should be around more, and interactable.

[weary hedge]

Duty and ward are the embodiment of OCPD.

[shell flax]

Merc variants on storylines

[loud vector]

OCPD?

[hallow shadow]

I’m not catching OCPD

[weary hedge]

Look it up

[main jewel]

sideye.. what would they even have to offer other than probably bounty missions if there was an area where the mercs would actually be friendly

[primal nimbus]

Ngl, imagine the story but from Merc POVs

[loud vector]

Ah okay

[primal nimbus]

Explore the Mercs more. Show there’s other kinds and agendas within the faction

[main jewel]

i still want the damn zone leader board that was real funny

[hallow shadow]

A Merc would be a viable candidate for a Protagonist.

Unbiased, save for Koupons.

[weary hedge]

Especially the baldy.

[main jewel]

all i see is pay me to fight or get outta my face

[shell flax]

Skif is a merc in all but name

Let’s us put on the blue suit canonically

[shrewd needle]

That was Clear Sky...and Scar.

[loud vector]

I mean technicaly you can XD

[hallow shadow]

Skif is just a Merc.

[weary hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/scar-stalker-pibb-xtra-clear-sky-gif-14605512341377138525

[loud vector]

Yeah tbh I realy dont like how they turned Scar in to a complete nuitjob

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/scar-stalker-pibb-xtra-clear-sky-gif-14605512341377138525

[main jewel]

the real side effect of his burnt toast artifact

[shrewd needle]

Yea, I hate Scar's story-line; should've used some other character. Scar should've just been an amnesiac trying to find his way, like Strelok in SoC.

[shell flax]

So just rehash Strelok as Scar

[primal nimbus]

Hey, don’t count out the Mercs that are chilling at the Brain Scorcher. They what made me believe that Mercs are just a vibe

[shrewd needle]

I mean, with differences, but yea.

Re-framing him with Marshall is just bad.

[primal nimbus]

[shell flax]

Don’t forget the two groups with captured mutants in cement and cooling towers

[primal nimbus]

This

[primal nimbus]

Them two.
-# Until you start opening the cages. Which is lowkey understandable

[main jewel]

why does scar even hold onto a burnt piece of unedible toast

[loud vector]

Naaaah. Just not completely unhined lunatic

[hallow shadow]

To remind himself why he’s hungry?

[main jewel]

i also wish we could get and keep richters music player as a silly collectable.. death to no new game plus

[weary hedge]

I could get behind the plot of him being a stone cold killer in 2. Specifically for Strelok but given the lore we got it makes sense.

He’s also always been a jokester that doesn’t take things seriously since CS. People just judge off the cutscene we got in that game which obviously doesn’t tell the player enough.

[shell flax]

I won’t lie, it’s always funny seeing people think Scar is some stone cold professional

[weary hedge]

All it takes is reading dialogue and you’ll know that’s not what he was lmao

[loud vector]

I admit I ...dont remember Scars personality from clear sky
But I just dislike they turned him in to a raving lunatic

[shell flax]

Every asshole in the Zone is some flavor of lunatic

[primal nimbus]

Ngl I find his lunacy understandable

[shell flax]

The man ate two emissions to the teeth, his nervous system was a clusterfuck and now S2’s shit? I’m amazed he didn’t blow his own melon off

[primal nimbus]

Yet Scar is right on one thing.

A good man always shows up on time for a meal.

[primal nimbus]

Same

[shell flax]

Hell, even if you join Duty in CS, he’s still a snarky asshole

[weary hedge]

Then he got the leader of spark jammed into his noggin 😆

[loud vector]

Question
Which game was it that had the drug that neutralized Emission effects?

[shell flax]

CoP

Also I’m glad they’re gone

[weary hedge]

Such a weird mechanic tbh

[shell flax]

It shut your nervous system off for a brief moment

So you mean to tell me it just straight kills you

[weary hedge]

Essentially fent in stalker

[shrewd needle]

Yea, I can agree with that, but that's just personality. The turn it took with the story, though (Marshall, reforming Iskra and going to war with the Ward) is outright BS for him.

[loud vector]

More like put you in comma I think

[vernal lily]

So literally fent

[shrewd needle]

I mean, he's a mercenary...you can make jokes all you want, but no one's hiring you unless you're a stone-cold professional.

[shell flax]

If your nervous system shuts off, you don’t have a heartbeat or breathe

[vernal lily]

Also sounds like what heroin would do

[shell flax]

Scar wasn’t one period

[shrewd needle]

No more than Mityay.

[shrewd needle]

How? Like, he actively worked as a mercenary?

[dull osprey]

[weary hedge]

Agreed. I don’t think scar would be so motivated towards that cause even if Marshall was crammed in there. Because it’s confirmed he has sentience over his own train of thought. So I’d like to think as a theory something dark happened that flipped a switch in him.

[dull osprey]

sobbing fr

[shell flax]

He wasn’t a stone cold professional

[shrewd needle]

Yea, getting caught in an Emission would do that, definitely. Hence the S2 plot is a bad excuse.

[shrewd needle]

OK, then how was he a well-experienced mercenary that kept getting hired enough to survive in the Zone?

[shell flax]

Skilled =/= professional

[weary hedge]

Definitely could be wrote with more detes for sure.

Same can be said about a lot of plots.

[shrewd needle]

But he did his job professionally? Like...I'm confused.

[primal nimbus]

We all gatekeeping Scar being a merc and that 2 emissions could also be the reason why he’s a lunatic (combined with Marshall in there)?

[shell flax]

Marshall literally watched the Ward mow down all of his friends in front of him, that’s a pretty big memory to just have

[shrewd needle]

No, everyone knows he's a lunatic because of the Emissions.

But the Marshall plot is a joke. Marshall should've just been some other NPC.

[weary hedge]

Yes. But scar has sentience over his mind and body. These thoughts were only implanted not replaced with current ones.

[shrewd needle]

But he's also an agent and the way Marshall's memories affect him...he does seem to have lost control over himself.

[dull osprey]

go get caught in a psi emission

[shrewd needle]

Why?

[loud vector]

Question
Who in the seven hells is Marshall?

[weary hedge]

Yeah I suppose to a certain extent he is still a C-con agent hence not having full control of himself like streloks situation who also succumbed to the manipulation they have.

[primal nimbus]

Random dead Iskra member that Scar’s sharing memories of

[loud vector]

Okay

[primal nimbus]

Basically 2 of the S2 endings are C-Con affiliated?

[weary hedge]

All of them are except wards. Which ends with them controlling c-con as a whole.

[carmine marsh]

I hate how in a lot of the story missions, bots can just suddenly know you are there

[primal nimbus]

Wait. Skif’s too?

[shrewd needle]

Was a guy in CoP; Ward killed his team in between CoP and S2 and Marshall got killed too, somewhere down the line, when his memories got shoved into Scar, of all people.

[weary hedge]

Skif is arguably a c-con agent. But yes

[shrewd needle]

My theory: Scar = just a psionic illusion, with the real Scar either dead or somewhere in a laboratory.

[primal nimbus]

Huh

[weary hedge]

This could also make sense to a certain degree.

[forest tapir]

I am praying that’s not true 🙏

[loud vector]

elaborate

[weary hedge]

There’s a theory the whole reason he even came to the zone is because of c-con and Strelok. He also has a connection to the zone the average stalker doesn’t.

[primal nimbus]

The laundry artifact being that connection?

[vernal lily]

Does Faust also say something about it to hint this theory, after the major fight with him

[shrewd needle]

Considering just how much 'Scar' (Marshall) believes in the Shining Zone and how it's apparently real (but with some nasty twist due to Faust)...well...who knows, maybe the Noosphere has created an illusion to direct the protagonist towards getting the shine for real.

[weary hedge]

It’s possible he became a sleeper agent the moment he touched that artifact. Skif’s dream of owning a house feels out of place when you think about it (It’s probably possible Strelok caused the fire incident according to Colonel. We also see Skif had visions during Faust’s ending when touching the artifact). If a house is all he wanted, why didn’t he just sell the artifact on the black market or go to the authorities as Agatha mentions? Instead, he heads to the Zone. Both Skif and Strelok suddenly become adamant about going to the Zone, and it feels too sudden and specific to be coincidence (If Strelok caused the incident then perhaps he was summoning agents outside the zone or perhaps recruiting them via touching the artifact). Agatha even mentions that the best agents are the ones who don’t know they’re agents, which fits Skif and Strelok perfectly.

And then there’s the Representative. By S2, it can’t directly interact with the Zone anymore, so C-Con needed agents inside the pod to keep their influence alive. That’s where Scar, Strelok, and Skif all come in. They weren’t random players—they were key to freeing the scientists trapped in the Noosphere, which gave C-Con the access they needed to reconnect with the Zone. This was all part of their preparation for SIRCAA, a plan that’s been in motion since SoC.

There’s even a hierarchy of preference for who C-Con wanted in the pod. It’s clear they preferred certain outcomes over others, but the end goal is the same in 3 out of the 4 endings C-Con wins.

Sorry for the wall of text in advance. But I hope this answers what you were looking for.

[shrewd needle]

I don't think Scar's ending is a win in any circumstance, though.

[weary hedge]

It is for c-con. They don’t have morals the average stalker has. I’d like to assume scars ending is a last effort ditch to control the zone.

[loud vector]

Which ending it Doesnt win?
Since it seems to me ward is not exactly something C-Con would want...than again there is the spooky teleporting lady (Agatha)

[weary hedge]

Like you said, wards. It destroys what they fight to control.

[shrewd needle]

But turning everyone to zombies isn't control, it's outright useless for any purpose.

[loud vector]

Honestly the worst ending

I would say it Skiffs

[weary hedge]

It keeps c-con in control of the zone tho. After all we are talking about the people who created the very mutants you fight and devices that zombify people in the first place. I’m sure their plan with scar was specifically written to keep ward from succeeding by any means necessary. Not saying it’s justified in any way or serves any greater purpose.

[shrewd needle]

Not worried about morals, but about purpose.

Since, in SoC, they specifically mention that they're trying to fix the damage, but they keep failing because others won't let them.

If anything, universal zombification would be opposite to their goals.

[weary hedge]

Initially they aimed to improve humanity by editing the noosphere to remove negative emotions like anger and greed. However, its methods created the Zone and it became a tyrannical entity that used brainwashing to control stalkers and protect its existence and secrets from being exposed. In the end, the C-Consciousness's main goal shifted from its original purpose to self-preservation.

[dull osprey]

me

[shrewd needle]

Right, but that kind of makes sense; normal people wouldn't understand why and would just kill them without thought (which, thanks to Strelok, happened and worsened everything even more)...

[weary hedge]

Exactly. Which caused them to push for control even more.

[shrewd needle]

NGL, so would I if I was the C-Consciousness.

[loud vector]

Strelok..the gift that keeps on giving...or irriating rash you cant get rid off
Take your pick

[weary hedge]

Same. We literally see ward use them and their secrets for financial gain and control over society in their ending.

[main jewel]

i like the lok

[shrewd needle]

Right, but again, zombification would help no one; I'm guessing the C-Consciousness would use its power to go back to the old times...lock the Zone and work towards fixing the Noosphere again, return things to normal.

Scar's ending is just too twisted (though, since it's Faust's doing, IDK how much of that is one party's fault).

[shrewd needle]

Strelok is the man who thinks he knows better (which he does, in relation to basically everyone except Korshunov and Agatha), but who actually doesn't and whose choices destroy everything else (as seen in CoP and S2).

[loud vector]

Like how the hell can Faust even be a factor especialy since you know

[shrewd needle]

Don't remember the beginning of S2?

[loud vector]

We giving him a third eye

[loud vector]

I do
I mean how can faust affect anything after we kill his ass

[shrewd needle]

He already did before-hand. He WILLINGLY died.

Except he also didn't die, so make of that what you will.

[weary hedge]

Desperate times call for desperate measures when ur whole existence is at stake (c-con). But like you said im sure with everyone out of the way fighting for control they would start establishing the goal they had in the beginning.

[shrewd needle]

Right, but the problem remains.

With Strelok's ending, they get the actual barrier they always wanted (impenetrable energy wall).

With Scar's and Skif's own ending...the former is where everyone becomes vulnerable (including the C-Consciousness) since now, basically everyone's free to come in and own everything. No borders, everyone in the Zone got zombified.

And with Skif's, it's just expanding the Zone, which is so much worse than the existing one (relatively, of course; I, personally, love chaos so Skif's ending fits in).

[loud vector]

Honeslty...I would argue that by doing what he did that ending
Skiff became one of the worst mass murderers in that reality history

[shrewd needle]

Well...the Noosphere needed to be free. Now...it gets to connect with everyone properly. 😏

Also, it only shows the Zone expanding, not everyone dying.

[carmine marsh]

I hate how OP bots are

[shrewd needle]

Nothing new. Can be handled.

[weary hedge]

Sure the problem still remains. It always will. That leaves more room for future content.😏

[loud vector]

Listen we know how bloody easy its to die to anomaly
even if you inside a field for a damm artifact
But we are A) wearing protective armour B) have detector C) aproximatie knowleged of how the anomaly SHOULD behave
And even that is 50/50 on us making it out alive

What do you think its gonna happen if some of nastier anomalies spawn inside hopsital or school?

[shrewd needle]

Starting with the promised DLCs and access to Iron Forest and CNPP.

[shrewd needle]

Good. Time for humanity to upskill itself and start living in a world where they have to be aware of dangers instead of being complacent as they tend to be normally.

Or would you rather live under the thumb of the Regulatory Board?

[shell flax]

‘Uplift itself’

What kind of Darwin dogshit is that

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/chaos-gif-22919457

[weary hedge]

Misanthrope moment.

[jade moss]

the ward ending could've been so good if it wasnt an absolute nightmare

[loud vector]

Worst part is...no damm idea if we are JUST getting the anomalies

or it also starts triggering emmissions outside of Zone

[main jewel]

do yall agree that skifs ending is the best ending or nah

[jade moss]

skifs ending is pretty bad

like he fully unleashes the zone onto the world which causes a load of problems, there was literally 0 reason to do that

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-7560275565266243199

[loud vector]

I would argue skiffs ending is the second worst

[weary hedge]

Depends where your views stand my friend. A lot would say wards because everyone would be fine physically. But you would have to worry about being spied on with C-con being in control by them.

[shell flax]

If emissions start firing off outside in the various Zones and they keep growing? Yeah the world is doomed

[jade moss]

im mixed between scars and wards being the worst

[loud vector]

Like I just dont get WHY would skiff even do that.

[shell flax]

I personally think Skif was just suicidal by his ending

[jade moss]

dude literally only entered the zone because of his house exploding, he had zero reason to do it

[weary hedge]

I literally told you 😆

[shrewd needle]

"The Zone is my home. And my home...is everyone's home."

[loud vector]

Tbh I says Skiff/Scar were worst.

[loud vector]

Ah the possible C-con agent theory...well it tracks with taht in mind.

[shell flax]

All of them are some flavor of nightmarish

[jade moss]

scars and wards are pretty much the same thing though, one you become a schizo and the other you're drowned into illusion, I dont really fully understand the ward one.

[shell flax]

I’ll take Ward over Skif though because at least I won’t get nuked by a big ass hole in the Noosphere

[weary hedge]

Even if he wasn’t an agent. (Even tho the evidence backs my theory) he clearly gets sucked in by the zone and its ideologies. It’s no longer about his burnt down abode during the time of his ending.

[loud vector]

waaait wait wait
I am rewatching the skiff ending RN
And it also mentions anomalus entities..

[carmine marsh]

is there any mods that reduce/remove weapon durability that are 1.6 compatable

[timid prawn]

i just recently saw a line of enemies run straight. at the start were 5 boars, then 4 bandits and finally a burer. idk where they running towards cuz they ignore me and kept running towards the lake. a empty lake

[main jewel]

compared to the others i feel like it has the most potential for a new game story telling and scars ending is just like ohh huehuehue fake shining zone skif is living in a illusion, the strelok ending literally has no where to go to, if nothing can get in or get out the people in the zone will eventually all die out and uh before you say children with the 2 or 3 female characters in the game, its not best to make a child in a irritated waste land, the ward ending also sorta feels like an illusion due to those screens that show at the end. skifs ending is obviously bad but it holds enough for new story telling and new mysteries

[loud vector]

Ward Ending is not ilision tbh
It them using C-con to spy on people

[main jewel]

my rating for the endings would be like

1. skif
2. ward
3. strelok
4. scar… if thats even his real name..

[main jewel]

well they see through skifs eyeballs the same way skif saw through the dark one so maybe skif is just an agent for the ward and thats quite sad

[dull osprey]

5. death

[main jewel]

ngl death is above the scar ending

[weary hedge]

5. Never installing the game

[main jewel]

scar ending is like 2 million deaths

[dull osprey]

you right, mars..

[main jewel]

best ending indeed

[dull osprey]

8. losing interest

[shrewd needle]

Is that from worst to best or vice-versa?

[loud vector]

Meanwhile Skiff is at least WW1 numbers during initail zone spreading XD

[main jewel]

i lowkey like what can come out of it tho

the only thing coming out of ward ending is world corruption possibly

[shrewd needle]

World is already corrupt.

[weary hedge]

Basically taking corporate control to the next level. Hence having the ability to know every move of every person.

[main jewel]

i mean like mustache man or 1984 levels of corruption

[dull osprey]

1984..!

[main jewel]

we are close to 1984 actually but uh

[weary hedge]

Lmao type shit bro 😭

[shrewd needle]

IDK...but I'll drop out before more.

[jade moss]

in terms of content maybe.
but actual lore wise streloks ending is the best, the zone gets shut off, all those trapped within will carry on until the end and from then on no more people would be lost to the zone. the ward one with how eerie the ending is really just feels like its locked everyone in some kind of illusion or trapped them in something, it doesnt really make sense for the C Con to still function if the zone was completely destroyed

[main jewel]

streloks ending is so damn boring tho

lore wise there is no lore after that

just sunshine and rainbows cause the zone is shut down

[jade moss]

thats why its the "best" ending

[primal nimbus]

Its either close the Zone down, destroy the Zone (with a catch to it), everyone’s now a Zombie, or the whole world becomes the Zone’s apartment.

Pick your literal poison.

[main jewel]

that may be true but my opinion is higher than all yalls trust skif ending is the best LEHHH no but i can see streloks ending being the technical best now its just so sad.. ALSO SKIF AINT EVEN GET A HOUSE ANYWAY WHERES THE HOUSE ENDING AND I MEAN DRIVE AWAY WITH NO ONE LOOKING THROUGH YOUR EYEBALLS I MEAN GOING BACK HOME TO A NEW HOUSE TO WATCH TV

[primal nimbus]

I just got a aneurysm from this and now want to die

[main jewel]

mine is seeing faust again

[primal nimbus]

I just wanna see Nimble again

Favorite side character since he’s just finding himself in the most random things

[weary hedge]

Real. Love my lil nimby

[main jewel]

i shot him

[primal nimbus]

Nimble’s track record:

• Sleepy Clear Sky member that killed Strelok’s squad members.
• Rescued from Bandits by Strelok, while trying to do a job for Sidor.
• Supplies items to Deggy. (Most likely had Ashot as a connection.)
• Guides randos (and inadvertently helping Monolithians.)
• Knocks Skif out and left him there.
• Fate’s decided by Skif. (I won’t be surprised if majority of players spared him.)

Bro’s more of a main character than a side character.

[main jewel]

i shot him cause i wanted to see what he had

does he do anything if you spare him

[primal nimbus]

Shot him, saw he had nothing, then reloaded to spare

[primal nimbus]

Not really. He just dips out

[main jewel]

lowkey nimble has so much aura especially in that cutscene in the cave

[weary hedge]

Bros just livin the dream

[main jewel]

so i kill him for collecting that clear sky item

clear sky map thing and keep in in my stash

my personal box as some may call it

[primal nimbus]

Oh. That’s just given either way

[weary hedge]

That’s a quest item you get regardless.

[shrewd needle]

An excuse to insert someone creepy.

[primal nimbus]

Skif’s gay love interest

[weary hedge]

Some depressed stalker portrayed to have some sort of emotional attachment to the zone.

[main jewel]

we should lowkey just slime Richter

random ahh dude

[primal nimbus]

Eh. I rather let him be and listen to his walkman

[vernal lily]

Richter

[weary hedge]

Richter is cool and I feel for him but like cmon now.

[main jewel]

no i WANT his walkman

i listened to his song for the remainder of the ward ending

[primal nimbus]

Ngl I want a Nimble DLC

[weary hedge]

Bro got layed out by 🥚

[main jewel]

a nimble dlc would be so fire can we get more nimble content pls

[jade moss]

I may or may not have killed nimble after I let him live to test out the stealth kill mechanic, I didnt even have my knife out so I kind of just hit him over the head with a pistol lmao

[main jewel]

you should test it on zombies…

[vernal lily]

Ilya Naishuller is the mocap actor's name for Nimble. Same guy who played Henry in that movie.

[weary hedge]

That’s fking rad

[primal nimbus]

Nimble’s track record:

• Sleepy Clear Sky member that killed Strelok’s squad members.
• Rescued from Bandits by Strelok, while trying to do a job for Sidor.
• Supplies items to Deggy. (Most likely had Ashot as a connection.)
• Guides randos (and inadvertently helping Monolithians.)
• Knocks Skif out and left him there.
• Fate’s decided by Skif. (I won’t be surprised if majority of players shot or spared him.)

As I said, he’s more of a main character than a side character. Np

is there any sure fire way to solve random in game stuttering etc? My game runs perfectly fine but randomly itll just decide to nuke itself and become a slide show, I can reload and itll solve the issue and sometimes redoing settings fixes it too

I like duty too

Once i read that GSC wanted that the dev of Pripyat Living Zone/ Живая Зона. for make Pripyat but the dev rejected the offer..
And the dev of that mod did basically an Pripyat 1:1 with interiors and that, the mod has been in development for more of 13 years.
