[fervent island]

I understand that the development of S2 Old Concept isn't pretty good but i wish that Dezowawe Team could complete the project.

[lucid charm]

Wish we got it in s2. We need more underground sections.

[ebon blade]

It's hard to get people to work on something when there is a recent Stalker game released, that people want to Mod.

[fervent island]

In HoC u can understand that there a big systems of undergrounds across the zone.

[lucid charm]

Actually now that I think about it, I wonder if that’s what the note from wolf is about in that crate

[fervent island]

Or when the engine is C++ only

[weary hedge]

Lost alpha is awesome.

[fervent island]

Tho, S2 Old Concept should have more helpers and devs, a project like that shouldn't post only a thingi per year.
And less of 10 devs isn't a proper quantity devs for it.

[lucid charm]

So many concepts I wish carried over to stalker 2, like the original zombies with the long arms and legs

[vernal lily]

They look like they're frowning

[ebon blade]

Those things moved superfast and were incredibly hard to kill.

[fervent island]

Izloms are mutants apart of zombies and zombified stalkers.

[weary hedge]

Right? I also liked the ghosts.

[lucid charm]

I’m still glad there’s no vehicles though. I think if cars became a thing in stalker it would detract from the beauty of the zone cause you’d be in even more of a rush

[weary hedge]

Also Sin makes a great addition to the stalker universe. We need more crazy factions

[dull osprey]

equivalent to pseudo giants smh

[fervent island]

Should there a train made by Cardan and Nicktro

[lucid charm]

Weren’t they supposed to live in the red forest or something

[fervent island]

Freedom
Clear Sky

[dull osprey]

free stalkers

[vernal lily]

You would also probably run into anomalies and die faster, since you might miss them from driving so fast.

[lucid charm]

Nah, that would just be metro exodus with less radiation

[weary hedge]

Nothing compared to what sin could’ve been.

[dull osprey]

they would only be in swamps and allied with monolith tho..

[lucid charm]

Monolith. Sure we worship a giant rock, but the rock is god, you simply cannot understand

[fervent island]

Sin was more crazy than Dezowawe version tho.

[weary hedge]

Eh they could’ve built more on it. Treat them like they did with renegades but give them more lore.

[dull osprey]

i remember drivable cars..

[ebon blade]

My vehicle being there had nothing to do with an anomaly.

[fervent island]

Anomaly brainrot buuuuuuuuu
Sin almost has nothing to do with Monolith according to the desdocs of Oblivion Lost and Shadow of Chernobyl, except for the Dark Monolith.

[lucid charm]

I do wish there were more enemies in the swamps in S2 tbh. Like mutants are fine, sure, but there should be bandits trying to claim the territory after you clear the way to clear Sky base

[ebon blade]

I did not get here by driving into any anomaly.

[boreal gyro]

killed the chimera at the zaton train exit on veteran finally by circlestrafing it around a tree

[lucid charm]

How about helicopters without rotating blades. Those have a place in stalker I think

[lucid charm]

I miss that bug

[weary hedge]

Same. Tho enjoyed fighting the controller and those zombies. It was very lack luster

[lucid charm]

Controllers are a joke in vanilla stalker 2. Not enough psi radiation, and they don’t turn stalkers zombified fast enough

[weary hedge]

Oh for sure. It’s basically just a waiting game. I simply run up to them. Mag dump and it’s over. Or a few snipes to the head lol.

I don’t like shotguns in 2. I like going for the head with my rifles.

[lucid charm]

Same. That’s part of why the BB mutant rebalance is so good. It makes controllers an actual threat. That doubled with Alife finds a way, where you can run into them in the lesser zone, and those joke enemies become scary VERY fast

[weary hedge]

I gotta play around more with mods

But I’ve been holding off on the game til master drops.

[lucid charm]

Bloodsuckers become a lot less threatening when you realize that it’s easier to mag dump them with a rifle than it is to try and pace shotguns with their janky as hell movements

Till you get the saiga of course, but the saiga is just a shotgun AK

[weary hedge]

I’m the same way. Tho the TOZ is fun early game

[primal nimbus]

TOZ W

[lucid charm]

Personally I like running around with weaker weapons, it’s just more atmospheric

[primal nimbus]

I appreciate using the TOZ against a Bloodsucker. Especially when I panic reload 2 slugs in and the Sucker’s still alive

[weary hedge]

Double barrels are very fun😆

[thorn niche]

Its more immersive imo

[lucid charm]

That or deadly weapons around the board

[primal nimbus]

Real

[ebon blade]

Dez in Lost Alpha

[thorn niche]

Majes it feel like you're actually trying to fight hard to survive

[primal nimbus]

Until its you fighting Monolith.

[weary hedge]

I honestly wonder how a toz with slugs hold up endgame. I’ll have to try that the next time I play

[lucid charm]

I’m the biggest monolith fangirl there is, but let’s not kid ourselves, monolith go down just fine with 2 or 3 headshots from an AK. 4 if exos

[primal nimbus]

Toz Granite Squad run

[weary hedge]

lol that fight is no joke with BB

[lucid charm]

I’m dreading Faust with BB

[primal nimbus]

Somehow had 4-5 headshots. Its worse with the 416 and G36.

[weary hedge]

That one I ended up using a rpg. But I can see that one being a pain

[lucid charm]

5.56 overall kinda just sucks in S2

[primal nimbus]

Unless you find the g36 early game and then the Kharod.

Other than that, true.

[lucid charm]

Nah, they have good modularity, but the fora and Dnipro are more reliable and simple

Then there’s the Grom 15s

[empty hare]

Ive been using the unknown stalkers 416 for a while but im planning an expedition into the red forest to get a dnipro and convert it to 7.62, im just a sucker for beeg boolet

[lucid charm]

Build that puppy right and it chews through just about anything

[weary hedge]

It’s needs coupled mags and it would be the best gun in the game.

[primal nimbus]

Never much of an Eastern Bloc round guy. Kinda find 556x45 bland. 6.8 Grendel rounds

[lucid charm]

So I’ve said before I prefer coupled mags over extended and drum mags, but the Grom series is an exception since the base magazine size is already pretty small

That 30 round mag is kinda perfect without breaking my battle rhythm

[weary hedge]

I also prefer coupled mags but yeah that’s fair.

[empty hare]

I just think coupled mags look cooler tbh, the drum for the 416 is a bit goofy even though its pretty effective

[lucid charm]

Like I need that reload, it’s a moment to take a breather and formulate a plan of attack while behind cover

[weary hedge]

I see why you like misery 😆

[lucid charm]

Meanwhile drum mags make me act stupid

[lucid charm]

Misery my beloved

[weary hedge]

Gotta love when you have to implement strategies into games.

[primal nimbus]

Never liked drum mags tbh. Only guns I see best for drum mags, in any games, are the tommy and ppsh.

Only used drum mags in Arena Breakout for the AR platform rifles tho

[weary hedge]

You’d love the mafia games then 😆

[lucid charm]

PPSH is the best one for it since the rate of fire is so high that it won’t mess with your fire, reload, fire, bound, reload, timings

[primal nimbus]

Especially in COD Zombies

[lucid charm]

The ppsh in zombies is a beast of it’s own

Jeebis that thing eats A

I love it so much

[weary hedge]

You go through ammo like nobody business tho.

[lucid charm]

Sure, but if you focus on body shots with it instead of kills, you rack of so many goddamn points, it more than covers the cost

[primal nimbus]

I always aim high for headshots with it lol

[weary hedge]

Ohhh yeah. I remember using the hammer in Bo2 for that.

[lucid charm]

Strategy, have one point gun and one kill gun. PPSH can do both, but the rate of fire is so high with it, it is easy to panic and overshoot in a pinch.

[weary hedge]

I need to play zombies again. Might revisit bo4 since that’s the one I played the least.

[lucid charm]

It also loses viability pretty quickly without PAP

[lucid charm]

I used to play a lot of WAW and BO1 zombies with an ex-bf of mine. So I picked up a lot of tricks

[fervent island]

In that photo dez would have between 15 and 40 years

[weary hedge]

Nice. Those are both great titles. Still have WaW downloaded to this day lol

If you gotta xbox we should run it sometime

[lucid charm]

I don’t have gamepass

[weary hedge]

Oh yeah I forgot abt the subscription bs

[primal nimbus]

I downgraded my game pass

[empty hare]

They upped the price for all of the tiers recently, bunch of bs

[lucid charm]

I’ll still keep using Xbox, but I’m not buying gamepass again, not till they lower the price by 15 usd. “But Luci”, I hear nobody saying, “the original gamepass was only “$20” exactly, and it’s $30 now…so make it worth my while to come back. Screw your status quo, make it something affordable

[near dew]

Ok so I’m gonna go to bed but man I’m at the intro and shooting is hard. Cant shoot bandits or this mutant that keeps turning invisible

[weary hedge]

Olive drab

[dull osprey]

shoulda grabbed a shotgun for the bloodsucker

[near dew]

I’m at the beginning. I dunno where I can find a shotgun

[empty hare]

Kill bandits until they drop one, they usually have TOZs

[slim orbit]

Why is gsc releasing the modding tools in increments instead of all at once?

[dull osprey]

wdym?

like, mods themselves or the tools used for making mods?

if you mean the actual mods, iirc, it's since GSC has to download the mods, put them into their own STALKER 2 game, confirm they work, then check publication, and then upload the said mod to the mod.io console on xbox

[hallow shadow]

Tejas. You tagged me in something, and I lost it.
What was it?

[slim orbit]

The “phases”

Im struggling to understand why its coming out in phases rather than at once, that would be a better way to word my question

[hallow shadow]

The SDK?
I honestly couldn’t tell you.

Probably because the game isn’t finished.
So releasing finished mod tools is unattainable.

[weary hedge]

To prevent the game from breaking. It’s in a constant state of development and that would only cause more issues than necessary.

[dull osprey]

o, i think (thought) it's something about making the process for uploading mods to console easier for GSC to do. its in phase 1 still, right?

[slim orbit]

Its phase one going into phase two im pretty sure

[hallow shadow]

But it was yesterday.

I spent all day grinding Koupons for the Bartender Sells All mod.

[ebon blade]

I thought you would enjoy what the Noontider just told me last night.

[dull osprey]

alex rufus is a funny man

[dull osprey]

i found a sparker named "artifact"

[hallow shadow]

Thank you.

I turned 34. It was generally peaceful.

[ebon blade]

Those are the best kind.

[hallow shadow]

Stealth, in any game, blows my mind.

How do they not hear my knees cracking, or my tummy growling?

drops into Crouch Mode
back pops

[dull osprey]

very intense stretching before stealth

[hallow shadow]

Y O U D I E D

[hallow shadow]

Fair enough.

LE CALISTHENICS

[dull osprey]

correct!

[plucky quiver]

im on the CNPP

the view is quite nice

[wanton blaze]

Its quite developed which gives me the hope for the CNPP in the DLC in the future. Plus the facility sign is out there

[plucky quiver]

its possible

I'm on the smoke stack actually

||bet strelok did not go up here what a coward||

[hallow shadow]

Do artifacts stack?

[plucky quiver]

yeah they do

[hallow shadow]

Sweeeet.

[plucky quiver]

I guess

[vernal lily]

There's a cap, I think two or three.

[plucky quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/alive-again-faust-cooling-towers-stalker-stalker-2-gif-7883876459359868425

[wanton blaze]

Im still 90% sure protection stops at a lower point. Like once you have a Compass thats the limit of protection

[weary hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/bvs-bvs-breathe-it-in-breathe-it-in-breathe-it-in-thats-cinema-breathe-it-in-that's-cinema-gif-9659389109931980674

[ebon blade]

Usually two is the limit. Beyond that they are not as effective.

[hallow shadow]

I’m ok with that. I only want two.

I currently have found myself a Hypercube and Liquid Rock. I also have a Rat King and some other artifact I never remember the name of. But it’s got Strong Electrical and Radio(?) protection. I want two of those, and I’m going to replace Rat King with a Compass. (My Falcon has two Lead Containers)

[plucky quiver]

I thought he meant can they stack inventory wise

yeah idk when it comes to effects

[hallow shadow]

Nah, on my belt.

[plucky quiver]

idk then

[hallow shadow]

I can throw Hyper Cube and Compass into a Lead container.
Is there a maxed Electric protection?

[plucky quiver]

pretty sure

might have it

I dont

[weary hedge]

Nope.

There’s one with a grade right below maximum tho.

[wanton blaze]

Been enjoying the combo of Compass, Hypercube, Weird Nut, Liquid Rock, and Pedal. I totally didnt do an artifact loop for 6 hours

[wanton blaze]

Weak, Medium, Strong, Maximum

[near dew]

Sadly problem is I can’t aim. Other games my shooting is ok but Stalker…man.

[thorn niche]

Its better now on controller, though

[weary hedge]

If ur on controller. The sensitivity is janky as hell.

[thorn niche]

Change your sensitivity curve settings

[weary hedge]

Best played on MnK tbh

[thorn niche]

Buy me a pc

[weary hedge]

Little do you know it’s it’s mnk compatible on console

[thorn niche]

But seriously, since they've updated controller settings. Its really not that bad anymore

I can aim and shoot at longer distances just fine now. It no longer feels like im playing a mini game just to aim at something

[empty hare]

Its wayyy better than it was at launch on controller. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at first and now its easily manageable

[thorn niche]

Idk why the scope sway was so strong before. It killed immersion

[ebon blade]

The best electrical protection is the Glare artifact. Level: Strong.

[thorn niche]

Should i go past the point of no return?

[shell flax]

The flavor text for the Glare is funny as hell.

Oh you touched this artifact? Congrats! You can no longer sleep, even under medication.

[plucky quiver]

If you want to not be able to explore yeah

I did not do it myself

[thorn niche]

Like does the game just end after i finish the rest of the quest and i have to make a new save?

[near dew]

Steam deck

[thorn niche]

I have like 200 hours and never really thought about it till now, lol

[plucky quiver]

You can make a seperate save before going

[weary hedge]

lol.

[near dew]

I have everything on low. Fsr 3, balanced.

[ebon blade]

Do you have Liquid Rock?

[thorn niche]

Oh yeah, true.

[plucky quiver]

you can play before that point of no return

[plucky quiver]

if you want to do that go ahead im going to keep exploring even though I have all of the map (including CNPP and generators)

[hallow shadow]

I do.

[shell flax]

Fun fact: this would make you go mental in 3 days

[plucky quiver]

yay

[wanton blaze]

I kept a save or 2 just before this point, do the ending, then go back to wander and explore

[ebon blade]

I usually keep 2 Thunderberry, 1 Compass and 2 Liquid Rock equipped.
I have a Hypercube replace 1 Liquid Rock when I go into Thermal areas.
I don't think I have the Glare artifact. I will have to check my stash.

[hallow shadow]

Does Glare come with another Strong Protection? I think that’s the other artifact I have.
Hyper Cube, Liquid Rock, Glare, Rat King

I wanna replace Rat King with Compass.
But, I forgot I have two Lead Containers, and not five total containers.

So, only one Glare, for me.

Some of these artifacts are so pretty.
Jellyfish, Mama’s Beads.

[shrewd needle]

Man, why the phuck are Zombies invulnerable to grenades?

[wanton blaze]

Only the brain is the important part that needs damaged

[ebon blade]

What armor are you wearing?

[ebon blade]

What happened to you?

[wanton blaze]

Its why I love the VSS rifles, on Semi and careful shots? So fun

[ebon blade]

https://tenor.com/view/avengers-infinity-war-thanos-gone-for-the-head-snap-gif-12260153

Thanos in Eastern Europe.

[weary hedge]

Lmaooo what the hell😆

Mans got that bling

[ebon blade]

He's ready to snap.

[shrewd needle]

Shot 6 HE grenades from the M203 and it didn't make the slightest difference; still had to shoot them in the head.

One expects a grenade to blow limbs off (instant kill) and not just...being shrugged off.

[shrewd needle]

Check above.

[lucid charm]

Sorry, the flavor text for WHAT

[shell flax]

An artifact named Glare

[lucid charm]

I have never heard of or seen

[hallow shadow]

Falcon

Zombies, and the killing of them, bother me.

They aren’t actually plagued, or undead. Or “mutated”. They’re just mindless.

Enough physical trauma should destroy them.
However. I love how it forces a “git gud/tacticool” headshots-only fight for a minute or so. Nice change of pace.

[wanton blaze]

I remember a video of the dialog the zombies have in the OG trilogy. I legit don't like killing them, but its a mercy

[hallow shadow]

Same. I try my best to sneak by zombies. I only shoot them when they shoot at me.

Killing them makes me squeamish.
But it shouldn’t be a physical chore, other than the singularity of shame and regret in my soul.

[wanton blaze]

Makes me hate controllers the most in world lore wise. Just wrong place wrong time.

And honestly? Its amazing story telling on GSC's side of things. Helps show the Zone gives, and takes, as she sees fit.

[true loom]

Is it a bug that every time I switch my weapon, it switches back to my pistol, even if I don’t have the pistol selected? I keep selecting my two primaries in the weapon wheel and every single time I press Y it just goes back to the pistol.

[ebon blade]

Xbox?

[true loom]

Yeah

It didn’t do this before

Must be an issue with the current patch 😐

[hallow shadow]

Hm. I’ve always found a deliberate swap helps.

From Pistol, hold my Bumper and select my Kharod.
Gun comes up.
Hold Bumper, select Saiga. Gun comes up.
Now, pressing Y should swap back to Kharod from Saiga. Until manually drawing Pistol.

Unless there’s a controller/keybind you may have accidentally messed with. I’d check Settings.

Also. Try to pull up your PDA. Put it an away.
Or your backpack.

Get Skif to do something else, then swap weapons.

[true loom]

I don’t see anything in settings for it

I feel like it’s a bug cause it never did this before, wouldn’t shock me tbh

[hallow shadow]

Shucks.

I’m having issues. But not that one.
I’m sorry.

My main complaint is the canted aiming, and PDA being drawn.
I’ll be mid firefight, trying to swap from Scope to Shoulder, and Skif whips his PDA out.

I’ve learned to combat this by holding the Back button for a second, when aiming. At least for the first sight-swap of every time I aim.

[true loom]

Looks like they added a new room inside the bunker for the “lost boys” mission

I’m pretty sure this little hallway with the gas mask and loot on the shelves was never here before

[wanton blaze]

In the lesser zone, from Lens

[true loom]

Yeah the starting area

[hallow shadow]

I like Lens.

Even though he can’t upgrade shit.

[wanton blaze]

That room always opens when you plug in the fuse, most dont double back and see the door open

Or be me and think its a decor door and wont open in the first place

[true loom]

Oh

Neato

[hallow shadow]

Yup. I just learned about that, right now.
Today years old.

[wanton blaze]

I found it and the OG trilogy had some intense details added. The zombie cries and even a set of wounded cries. Downed NPCs calling for help.

Free USP I take and use immediately, in the Lords Caliber

[dull osprey]

wawa

[ebon blade]

The Lost Boys supply room was always there. However, if you didn't flip the electrical switch,
and then return back to the entrance room, you wouldn't realize a locked door was now open.

[ebon blade]

Never too late to go back there.

[exotic glacier]

It the fuse mechanic. Eventhough you use it in the story missions, I only became aware of it in my second playthrough.

[wicked magnet]

Question about the plot: are Spark members normal people or were they also brainwashed?

[ebon blade]

They'll do anything for free Pizza.

[weary hedge]

Most are led astray by false prophecies. Others just want to kill ward.

There’s also some down to earth ones just wanting to connect more with the zone, collect artifacts/work for scientists. Which is what they originally stood for.

[weary hedge]

Sounds about right.

Veteran stalkers following a deranged old man for false hopes of an outcome they don’t entirely understand.

[wanton blaze]

While the Spark are definitely the boys, I fell more aligned with Freedom over Spark.

[drifting bear]

This is me when I’m ready for the photo, but the photographer is taking too long and the bottom photo is how I actually turned out in the picture

[ebon blade]

Ha Ha. The lighting isn't so good in the second picture either.

[weary hedge]

Without the shining zone stuff that’s basically what freedom used to be

[stark crescent]

good morning stalkeurs

[hardy totem]

Hello, Stalkers!™

[stark crescent]

you trademarked it? 😭 now i cannut say it no more

[weary hedge]

Hello stalksirs and stalketes

[stark crescent]

ah ah. no stalketes yet. gsc does not allow women to roam the zone

[ebon blade]

If you take in account, what Spark is doing with STC Malachite,
they are more like the Clear Sky Faction was back in 2011.

[hardy totem]

women don't exist

[weary hedge]

Waman were patched out a few updates ago irl

Had some bugs

[ebon blade]

They're back!

[hardy totem]

cooties

[stark crescent]

malachite is way different from clear sky tho. clear sky were former C members, who wanted to discover what the zone was about.

malachite just want to explore the wonders of the zone. the difference is that one didnt knew that C conciousness formed the zone through an underestimation of the powers involved, where malachite are just happy go lucky scientist kids

[ebon blade]

I'm not talking about what they were, I'm talking about what they do.

[stark crescent]

scientists?

[weary hedge]

Much more like clear sky yeah.

They did originate from topols group in stalker call of Pripyat.

[weary hedge]

Both love they science 🧪

[stark crescent]

i wouldnt mind doing a little bit of science with her

[weary hedge]

Alright buddy

[weary hedge]

Time to put the phone down

[lucid charm]

She’d roll her eyes and ignore you

[hardy totem]

||She'd have ward take you out the back and kneecap you.||

[coral shadow]

[dreamy dagger]

STALKER 2 MP when

[vapid galleon]

@ebon blade how many hours do you play Stalker 2 in a day?

[dreamy dagger]

Tejas games 23 hours a day

[gritty helm]

a RPD may be okay for stalker 2 if it looks like this

[vapid galleon]

he have 4.5k+ videos in his yt channel

[gritty helm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2gmQQTPSxk

[stark crescent]

I AM the ward!

I will take out my own kneecaps, thank you very much.

[wooden walrus]

you could just get the achievement enabler mod

I mean if you load the game and you don't get the message that achievements are disabled you should be in the clear I guess

if you don't get the warning while loading your game from the main menu you should be in the clear

I mean at least that's my experience with the achievement enabler mod, I got the message in the past, afterwards I didn't and I got achievements all the same

which would suggest that if you uninstall all mods and load your game and you don't get the message it means you should be able to get cheevos as normal

[hardy totem]

@dense jolt question: when your mother gets pissed, does she call you Armor Piercing Fin Stabilised Discarding Sabot?

-# *calls child protective services*

[vapid holly]

does shooting soldiers of a factin make them hate you even if there's no witnesses?

[valid pike]

A monolithian told me November 15th

[obtuse veldt]

That Monolithian must be high on crack, I doubt about that

[valid pike]

Or psi-radiation XD

Anomalous Bread

[stark crescent]

hulucination bread

we dont need psi effects for that. we got our own psi radiation!

rule 9

[wooden walrus]

You should also be able to force vsync from the gpu's control panel, at least with nvidia you can

[vapid galleon]

Cheeki Breeki everywhere!

[robust pendant]

You can also use rivatuner btw, I think it works better than some vsyncs

Ah, dammit

@chrome jetty

I honestly can't believe people fall for this obvious scams

Thanks kuro

[river galleon]

#📰┃announcement message
Ngl, scar with a cigar fits lol

[stark crescent]

i choose condensed milk

[shadow token]

Is it just me or npcs just spawn randomly on the first big military base near zalissa

[stark crescent]

i think thats supposed to happen

its the borderwall. its supposed to be guarded

[shadow token]

I mean they’re just spawming in my back from a room recently cleared….

[wooden walrus]

After doing the solder thing they will spawn as part of the mission

[stark crescent]

would it be controversial if i said, that the grom s-15 might be the best universal weapon to carry across the zone

it uses AK ammo. everyone has AK ammo. you will never run out of it. its damage is on par with a dnipro. rate of fire and handling better than the kiparis.

main drawback is the 20 round mags, which can be upgraded to 30 rounds

and its light weight. mine has a scope and a silencer on it, its still only 2.62kg

integrated grenade launcher. expands the range of your nades

dnipro aint got that

[empty hare]

Hmmm

Might have to pick it up on my way to the red forest later this week then

[jagged zinc]

Where do you find that again? It's been awhile cause I picked it up and stored it immediately

[stark crescent]

somewhere at the cooling towers

where was it...it was in a bomb crater or something. like. left to the ever burning house

[raven elk]

Is malachite the only place to get the holemaker?

[shadow token]

Is anyone else having npcs flying after getting hit on the head?

I install a death animation mod but i’m reading about this thing being a vanilla issue so before removing the mod i want to be sure

[fickle hill]

In a hole by the bulldozer

Don't forget some cheese for the rats

[ionic verge]

The rats will be watching me eat their rat buddies without cooking them.

[floral elm]

I think so, other than stashes

[raven elk]

What stash has one? I've opened a good amount of stashes and malachite is fubar for me unfortunately

[floral elm]

I cant recall now but I think there maybe is a stash with one

Especially after the rebalance

I have same dillema with Mask-1 helmet, i Wonder how can you get it on Ward playthrough

[raven elk]

If it's after the rebalance I could still be screwed, I'm at pripyat and I've been rather thorough in searching for stashes, though there are places I haven't explored yet so maybe

[vivid valve]

Another great day in the zone!

[shell flax]

There’s one in the tropospheric comm center as you go through the story

[floral elm]

In SIRCA right? True but its unable to get apparently if you choose ward

I was wondering how many of them are there in the map or in traders

[shell flax]

Can stalker be learned or do you either have it or you don’t? I need to know if I should refund.

[shell flax]

It’s a game, not an innate talent

You don't understand how first-person shooters work?

the game is easy to learn. and you dont need all the backstory for it. would be nice to ahve it, but its not neccesary. its a good stand alone game

you should refund stalker 2 because it sucks

[shrewd needle]

Ignore this; go to #❔┃seeking-for-advice or even ask here about things. Don't worry too much.

[calm quarry]

If you wanna check out stalkers mechanics without paying you can try any of the free standalone mods. You could also try the triology, they are cheap games.

[north thistle]

Offend me more please

[smoky hawk]

I mean it suprises me that you didnt drop it since it has no money siphon mechanics nor japanese comic girls

In the triology you dont really need that much food and the healing is simple. The healing/food system can be more complicated in mods like Anomaly or EFP.

[charred nova]

[coral shadow]

i dont have problems with aim but god damn, all the PIP scopes are shet, come on the sight is literally taped to the start of the glass of the scope, when you move all of it wiggles up and down towards your torso

[charred nova]

YOU MUST VOTE

IF YOU DON'T VOTE I WILL MUTE YOU FOR A MONTH

[coral shadow]

it's bad to see in general too

Dude, it's bad, not graphics, it's just bad

[weary hedge]

Snipers would be ur best gig. Or just train more. The games supposed to be challenging for newcomers.

[robust pendant]

But what is bad

You are not being very specific

[coral shadow]

you know all the medium/long range scopes that got a sight with black/red colored lines inside? the sight is taped to the start of the scope

[hallow shadow]

“Monolith, crush this guy’s nuts.”
-Faust, Probably

What do you mean by “taped to the start of the scope”?

[coral shadow]

they function as they should, but the design is VERY bad, i can make a 5 sec video example of what i mean but rn i can't

[coral shadow]

Look at the metallic sights, the first metallic one closer to the eye moves and wiggles towards you when you move, while the one at the front of the gun has a more stable and sensate wiggle that looks at where you point.

Ex.

you continously aim to the right and the primary metallic sight moves to the left, while the one closer to the barrel moves in the direction you're aiming at, it's not something that i should explain, it's literally in the game

[bold smelt]

i vote no

[hallow shadow]

The game is bad, because of perceived movement?

[coral shadow]

my complain is, that the PIP scopes have their sights literally at the start of the gun(very close to you) like the primary metallic sight

[hallow shadow]

You don’t like the way.. Skif.. Looks around?

[bold smelt]

the gunplay is kinda ass and you just get used to it the more you play in trilogy

[hallow shadow]

Ohhhh. And that scopes aren’t “realistic”

[coral shadow]

no

[hallow shadow]

The whole optic is mounted too close?

[coral shadow]

such design Could exist, but scope engineers aren't brain dead enough to make one like stalker

[coral shadow]

the SIGHT IN THE SCOPE is too close

[hallow shadow]

How?

[shell flax]

if you’re looking for to the T realistic guns and scopes you’re in the wrong game

[hallow shadow]

Is it on the wrong lens?

Because, if the scope has a sight. It works.

[coral shadow]

dude, this isn't realistic logic, it's FREAKING COMMON SENSE GUN LOGIC, every other game has normal PIP scopes while S2 has goofy taped sights in to scopes

[hallow shadow]

Stalker isn’t some sort of hyper immersion exploration shooter.
It’s a story driven action shooter.

[wooden walrus]

but but but
it wiggles

[shell flax]

Literal bottom of the issue pile brother

[coral shadow]

well that's true

[wooden walrus]

can't you see it wiggles

[coral shadow]

weakest rage bait

[hallow shadow]

You must be new here.

[weary hedge]

Most people are used to the hyper realistic mod packs and mil sim shooters like tarkov and arma so they expect stalker to follow the same guidelines

[hallow shadow]

I’m convinced bro has a tapeworm. Skif’s hands should not shake for as much as he eats.

[bold smelt]

literally half of stalker is held together by tape and always has been in both lore and gameplay thats the entire point

[coral shadow]

it's not skif's hands oh god, it's just that who ever made scopes in the world of stalker made them like a 5y

[wooden walrus]

hey, for someone able to hold their breath for 3 seconds he isn't doing that bad

[hallow shadow]

Yeah man. Welcome to Stalker.

[charred nova]

so true

[hallow shadow]

The game is bad.

[wooden walrus]

the game is bad

[weary hedge]

Mewtwo how dare you.

[coral shadow]

hey, i come from SoC first, i was not expecting anything realistic, and stalker 2 even went below my unrealistic expectations

[wooden walrus]

it's too bad there aren't any mods

[bold smelt]

you were expecting ANY realism from the game about chernobyl turning into a physics nightmare with a cult in the center?

[weary hedge]

I think folks get used to that realism aspect and find it uncomfortable hopping back into a cartoonish shooter. Stalker is supposed to be funny goofy

[coral shadow]

did you read at all? bro it's just plain rage baiting at this point

[hallow shadow]

I need a Sci-Fi CoOp shooter based on Gordon Freeman and Bill Nye

[bold smelt]

yeah i read what you said and you said you HAD expectations meaning you EXPECTED ANY realism

[wooden walrus]

sadly stalker has historically been a series that has strictly forbidden the use of mods, therefore players are at the mercy of the developers to provide the exact specific type of experience they are looking for

[bold smelt]

it boggles my mind why this doesnt go without saying

[coral shadow]

i had UNREALISTIC, UNREALISTIC expectations, read it again, UNREALISTIC expectations, and stalker performed even worse when i thought it couldn't be, want me to say UNREALISTIC again?

[wooden walrus]

so I totally understand why someone would be sitting here bithing about the game not being made to their exact specifications

[bold smelt]

yeah unrealistically high expectations

[hallow shadow]

So. Aside from “scope look funny”
What else is bad?

[bold smelt]

unsatiable

[coral shadow]

everything

[wooden walrus]

game is bad bro

[bold smelt]

why did it correct to unstable

[wooden walrus]

scope wiggle = bad game

[coral shadow]

yup

[wooden walrus]

completely unsalvageable

[bold smelt]

use ironsights like a good boy

[coral shadow]

you finally got it

[hallow shadow]

Homie got filtered by the Intro Sucker

[coral shadow]

at least iron sights and short range scopes have sense

[bold smelt]

then use them instead

[shell flax]

I’ve seen genuinely autistic gun nuts with less asinine opinions

[coral shadow]

if i had binoculars i would use them only

[wooden walrus]

how do you expect someone to complain about sight wiggle if he uses sights that don't wiggle

[hallow shadow]

As an autistic war vet. Yeah.

I be having some opinions.

[shrewd needle]

Storm Falcon X8 = new binocular.

[bold smelt]

people cant even say they dont like an aspect of the game anymore without the game being dogshit for that one reason alone

[hallow shadow]

Game asked me if Skif had pronouns.
Dogwater game.

[bold smelt]

i would enjoy female skif thank you very much

[coral shadow]

i still play S2, who said that i didn't
misinformation at its best

[shrewd needle]

Very goony of you.

[hallow shadow]

I don’t actually condone such mentality.
I’d like a Character Gen/Roleplay element.

[wooden walrus]

I mean the prevalent take on this server tends to be "game is dogshit because of this feature, and also I refuse to acknowledge this feature existing because it's not up to my specs" so technically this is beyond charitable when to think about it

[bold smelt]

amnesia peep the pronouns

[hallow shadow]

actually, wasn't 1.6 supposed to bring out the "narrative tools" to the sdk?

wonder what happened with those or if they even were released

[hallow shadow]

Yup. From what I remember.

Which means… Side Mission mods are about to be a thing.

[wooden walrus]

I don't have 700 gigs to check, but I also haven't seen anyone mention them on the mod discord threads I'm in

[hallow shadow]

Side content is about to get juicy.

[wooden walrus]

well the main thing with that is that 100% of the game's content is voiced, so like, I'm not sure how these narrative tools would work, what they encompass, or what requirements they have

I have honestly seen zero about it so I don't even know if they did put them out or what

[hallow shadow]

GSC, I volunteer my funny Southern Accent for voice acting.

[weary hedge]

Mewtwo has gone rampant. Nobody can stop him

[hallow shadow]

Can we have a character like Hurk (Far Cry?)
I’d love the prospect of side missions from some American nerd in the Zone.

[wooden walrus]

maybe you can just have non-voiced dialogues with the npc just staring at you silently, I mean it'd be weird but I mean, anyone who's played a bethesda game can attest it's not the end of the world

Also, talk to me about updates once they fix the engine.

[charred nova]

TRUE

ALL UPDATES ARE SLOP AI SLOP

WHERE IS ENGINE UPGRADE

[shrewd needle]

I'd hope so? The Malyuk can actually fit 7.62 X 39 IRL, and 54 would be insanely long for that rifle either ways. At that rate, might as well use the SVD.

So yea, I'm keeping the x39.

[wooden walrus]

2.5 months to end of year

[charred nova]

people have reported this but they are completely useless

[hallow shadow]

Yah. You can still find x39.

[wooden walrus]

I mean, don't mean to be pessimistic but

[shrewd needle]

In vanilla, yes. Hopefully, BB solves it.

[charred nova]

solve the problem by adding guns that use it

AEK 971

[bold smelt]

download it

[charred nova]

WHERE YOU AT BITCH

[hallow shadow]

I have like 300 in my box.
They don’t match any weapon.

But x39 is still in the world. It’s just never sold.

[wooden walrus]

I think expecting the engine update towards the end of q1 26 would be prudent

[shrewd needle]

Yes, well, the Malyuk should. IDK why they changed that.

[charred nova]

cus it was pointless

[shrewd needle]

The damage upgrade is pointless?

[charred nova]

it was orginally for the rpk

which got cut

[hallow shadow]

Still the only gun running x39.

[charred nova]

the upgrade is still their

it just makes the gun fire 7.62x54 instead

[shrewd needle]

Yes, but the Malyuk uses x39 IRL as well for its conversion, so it was actually accurate in S2.

Changing it to x54 was nonsensical.

[hallow shadow]

Swapping the Dnipro to x54 was more feasible than adding an entire ammo to the economy, to suit one rifle.

[shrewd needle]

Before, the PKM was wrong and the Malyuk was accurate. Now it's reverse.

[charred nova]

its actually more accurate

[shrewd needle]

But the ammunition already existed.

[weary hedge]

[charred nova]

see trophy akm in clear sky also fired 7.62x54

THERE FOR

ITS MORE LORE ACCURATE

[wooden walrus]

this seems like something extremely easy to mod back in if someone really wanted an extra ammo type for the one gun.

[charred nova]

FOR IT TO FIRE 7.62X54

[shrewd needle]

[wooden walrus]

actually you could probably also add upgrades for a couple more guns to fire 7.62x39 if you really wanted to

[shrewd needle]

Yea, we need the Malyuk back to 7.62 X 39 and add the AK-74 (original), along with other weapons that use x39.

[north thistle]

I am not gay just so you know

[hallow shadow]

I want .300blk, and a Honey Badger.

Also. A SAW. Cause 5.56 already exists.

[charred nova]

your horse sexual

[hardy totem]

SAW would make 100% sense

[north thistle]

No im not

[weary hedge]

Honey badger is a sexy ass gun

[wooden walrus]

honestly would make more sense than the military using mac10s lol

[hallow shadow]

It’s a good “in between” before you get Glutton.

[hallow shadow]

I’m down.

[shrewd needle]

I still got mine, Jack. Cope.

[coral shadow]

SAW would be fire, we already have the Pkm, though does it fit the zone? i dont remember it being in the trilogy so it could be a good addition

[charred nova]

how is it cope

its the not even up to me

[charred nova]

think i signed off on that change

GSC YOU MUST DELETE 7X62X39 FROM THE GAME NOW

[weary hedge]

I have wet dreams about integrated suppressors

[shrewd needle]

I mean I still can get as much ammunition as I want.

[hallow shadow]

Ah. A fellow man of culture.

[charred nova]

WE COULD HAVE THIS

but no

[shrewd needle]

Ah, crap...Bison no sell 7.62 X 39?

hmm agre, galil?

[charred nova]

nope

its a finish ak

[shrewd needle]

[wooden walrus]

and 2's weapon selection, limited as it is, already has some highly eyebrow raising choices

Hbu, what gun would you like to see the most?

[coral shadow]

then they should add a SAW to the mix

we couldve had the the l85a1 if it wasnt bugged

[shrewd needle]

It's fine. We need more guns. Lots of guns.

ALL THE GUNS!

I mean now that the military is the ipsf you have a plausible reason why there would be more nato weapons in the zone, quite frankly

[charred nova]

kinda hard when all the gun in stalker 2 are tiered

[main jewel]

we should also get more and better unique attachments

[wooden walrus]

oxa

[charred nova]

every gun you get early on just sucks compared to stuff you can find later

[main jewel]

i dont like using the same old vertical grip

[shrewd needle]

I can only agree with that.

[main jewel]

im on console so i have yet until that comes

[wooden walrus]

by the way, apparently oxa core is close to submission

[coral shadow]

oh wait in SoC there was a modern lookin Rifle at the CNPP endgame mission with an integrated scope, id like that one

[main jewel]

which is probably gunna be sooooo far away

[meager crag]

Also, bro forgot to English

[shrewd needle]

Well, that's the bad part, since the Tavor and the Malyuk only have the grip.

No UBGL, no M26 MASS, nothing...

[wooden walrus]

shouldn't be far honestly

[charred nova]

people voted no

[shrewd needle]

FN F2000.

[charred nova]

they hate fun

[coral shadow]

i think that's it

[main jewel]

oh well i dont wanna hope that itll come as close as like next month

[weary hedge]

Why are the majority no

[meager crag]

They probably hate your English, because I do

[hallow shadow]

We need SAW, and Honey Badger

[charred nova]

cus people in this server got no back bone anymore

they are totally and udderly MIND ***** and can't think for them selves

[north thistle]

I like this 🙂

[wooden walrus]

earlier today when asked if oxa core would be console only or also pc, oxide said "Probably both... Might have a look at getting that submitted this weekend"

[main jewel]

speaking of that the unique sight mods of it were so cool like that weird little tracker you can have on the sight of it

[bold smelt]

one of the best a7x songs

[weary hedge]

This server is chopped. It is beyond saving

[wooden walrus]

so hey maybe soon

[north thistle]

My brother in Monolith

[meager crag]

OICW when?

[north thistle]

It was chopped long ago

[meager crag]

L85 first tho

[hallow shadow]

EeeeewwwWWWWWW

[shrewd needle]

TBF, that should've been available to all the guns. It's just a scope...any scope can be upgraded.

[hallow shadow]

L85 is such a bad Bullpup.

[main jewel]

i genuinely wish we had more like unique guns, attachments, and upgrades for weapons.. not the same old greased bolt or the same foregrip on every gun

[north thistle]

There is no way in hell you said that unironically

[wooden walrus]

of all the weapons in the world, an l85

[weary hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/load-shotgun-shotgun-hunter-babar-gif-8582056885446404469

[north thistle]

Or the L85

[hallow shadow]

It’s so ugly, too.

[wooden walrus]

could you possibly be more of a hipster

[meager crag]

Funky gun B funky

[charred nova]

its one one of the worst guns ever

[hallow shadow]

Noooooo!

[main jewel]

eeehhh well on some sights it would be pretty difficult i think especially for the time set in the older games but i dunno i may just be dumb

[shrewd needle]

It's a game, we can use the OICW.

[meager crag]

How about this bros

Give me the option to dual wield RPGs

[main jewel]

also WHERES THE SKS

[shrewd needle]

Well, it's a game; nothing's preventing it.

[hallow shadow]

It’s so gross. I remember being a kid when that thing was making its appearance. I never saw the appeal.

[main jewel]

LIKE WHOS DECISION WAS IT TO NOT ADD THE SKS

[charred nova]

me

cus the sks is gay

[hallow shadow]

I want my SKS with rails, though.

[wooden walrus]

this is the equivalent of being in a racing sim discord and discussing possible cars to be added and someone goes "yeah but first we need a pt cruiser in this bish"

[meager crag]

Or dual wield Bulldogs

[charred nova]

i told gsc

[wooden walrus]

actually that might be inaccurate. PT cruisers aren't particularly known for not working

[weary hedge]

Why do we need an SKS?

[hallow shadow]

We also have the EMR. It outclasses the SKS.

[meager crag]

We don't need an SKS

We just need a musket instead

[charred nova]

WELL YOU SEE JOE IF YOU ADD SKS TO STALKER 2 IT WILL SELL 2 COPIES AND FLOP

[main jewel]

they shoulda added the Shkval trust

[charred nova]

just can't have it in the game joe im sorry

[hallow shadow]

I would absolutely crush Sucker nests with a muzzle loader.

[weary hedge]

In nato we trust

[coral shadow]

who in gsc suggestioned to add a rail for scopes on a mosin while i never say in my life a mosin with rails

[meager crag]

Same, I love the RPG

[wooden walrus]

I mean on the one hand we don't need an sks, on the other we have a mosin

[main jewel]

because it looks so darn cool and it existing could’ve possibly kept a use for 7.62x39 in the game if it wasnt added

[charred nova]

they saw the one in pubg and added that

[wooden walrus]

on a third hand we have an svd so eh

[coral shadow]

OH GOD THATS WHY

[meager crag]

Okay, but what about a lever-action?

[hallow shadow]

A muzzle loader rifle, a Harpers Ferry pistol, and a Saber (for melee)

[main jewel]

i dont wanna use the same darn guns bro

[charred nova]

no idea lmfao

[hallow shadow]

I’d also rock a decent lever action.

[charred nova]

but its got one in pubg

[wooden walrus]

We don't need an sks
How about a lever action

[meager crag]

This guy gets it

[north thistle]

Lever action goes hard

[wooden walrus]

you do this shit on purpose don't you

[weary hedge]

I wonder what the plans for 1.7 are or what the next gun is

[hallow shadow]

Not all guns are the same.

[main jewel]

“that russian contract winchester model 1895 i think that took 7.62x54”

[north thistle]

I hope we can become Monolith in the next update

[meager crag]

I mean, to shit when you don't intend to do so is, well, kind of messy

[north thistle]

[coral shadow]

lowk the Rhino is cursed, it's a single action revolver while it could easily be a double action, but for some reason we need to Recoc the hammer

[shrewd needle]

Alright, now with every part of the map done...time to rush through the Spark story. Wish me luck, stalkers.

[main jewel]

we need some typa faction wars or something

[meager crag]

Eternal Spring fr

[north thistle]

So we can expand in the name of Monolith

[shrewd needle]

'Muh game balance.'

[weary hedge]

Monolith are getting patched out in 1.7

[charred nova]

oh it doesn't have it in that photo

[main jewel]

it takes 9x39 but the bullet model obviously is not a 9x39

[shrewd needle]

Eternal nightmare, more like. 😔

[hallow shadow]

Next gun.

[coral shadow]

Genius

[main jewel]

yea..

[charred nova]

monolith been over since cop

[weary hedge]

Good luck. Enjoy the emotional journey

[charred nova]

stalker 2 is not cannon

[meager crag]

We honestly just need the AK from C&C3

[main jewel]

we couldve had the nagant or smth

[north thistle]

This can’t be true

it just can’t…

[coral shadow]

mutated ak's in the zone

[hallow shadow]

We have the Nagant. It’s the Three Line.

[shrewd needle]

Knowing the ending, I want to shoot Scar and spare him and everyone, but...plot armour. 😔

[meager crag]

[charred nova]

strelok destroyed c con so per the lore monolith is over

[main jewel]

SERIOUSLY WHY IS THERE LIKE 5 GUNS IN THIS GAME the amount of weapons feels so empty and instead of adding new guns we have some useless sad looking uniques or terrible looking ones

[charred nova]

stalker 2 is just fake lore

[meager crag]

Trilogy Gang

[north thistle]

No…

[weary hedge]

The sparker boys are fun to fight with up until that point. But yeah I agree.

[shrewd needle]

Easier to re-paint the gun as a unique.

[vernal lily]

True tho

[north thistle]

It can’t be…

[meager crag]

Just look at the amount of retcons bro

[main jewel]

partner is awesome for the fact of how it looks but why cant i add a scope on it, i mean i know i know how to take off the red dot thing

[charred nova]

uh yes actually it was written by an anomaly slop enjoyer so yes it is

[shrewd needle]

Well, with armour tougher than anything else in the class, definitely.

[charred nova]

it was

until c con died

then it was over

[meager crag]

Until it wasn't

[main jewel]

special is just a sad excuse to have a cool suppressor that couldve just been added as a attachment

[meager crag]

Until it was

Until Noon wasn't

[hallow shadow]

Yo Mono lith’d deez nuts.

[meager crag]

[main jewel]

ts makes me mad

[shrewd needle]

Making new ones is pain. Making the same ones as 'unique' is easy.

[charred nova]

noon was so cool too bad they got cut from the game

[weary hedge]

Hell yeah. Gotta have good gear to fight the good fight

[north thistle]

Noontide is still in the game for at least a while

[main jewel]

sometimes the easy route aint always the best ahh I JUST NEED SOMETHING WEIRD AND DIFFERENTTT

[wooden walrus]

gamma is a great example of why you want weapons to actually have some purpose other than just basically a model swap, but on the other hand there's already kind of an overlap with the current selection already

[charred nova]

idk what you mean bro they barely made it like 2 hours

[meager crag]

Bro ikr

[north thistle]

Not exactly

[shrewd needle]

I feel the pain, but it is what it is.

Honestly, we need a lot more guns, and that's one thing GAMMA did right.

[main jewel]

lets add the ao 47

[north thistle]

I have been playing for 2 days and they still exist

[charred nova]

one of these days

we should sit down and re write the entire stalker 2 plot

[north thistle]

I agree

[meager crag]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/953307230273409076/1135248382819045468/garbaged.gif

[wooden walrus]

Though one could argue that the game could use having more low level weapons added and the gear progression simply re-stretched over the entire game

[meager crag]

Let's re-write C&C4 first

[charred nova]

it would be pretty easy to do considering what we got is about as low as it can go

[north thistle]

We should make Noontide last longer

[coral shadow]

while drinking vodka and eating bread

[wooden walrus]

the lummox should be a mosin, for example.

[main jewel]

i just have to wait for modders to fix the game as usual

[north thistle]

And make it so we can fight along side them

[vernal lily]

Drinks on the house

[shrewd needle]

https://tenor.com/view/csgo-workshop-steam-awp-gif-27615120

[hallow shadow]

I wish the Nooners didn’t get boned, either.

[charred nova]

yah know what i think should have happened

[main jewel]

glory to gamma, one of the best modding projects ive seen

[weary hedge]

Im honestly surprised they didn’t get an ending

[north thistle]

Me too

[vernal lily]

[shrewd needle]

Well, only for the weapons list and honestly, the Discord-only download can die.

[charred nova]

at sirrca you could succeed in stopping the activation of the monolith

[hallow shadow]

They’d be one hell of an underdog story.

[wooden walrus]

all hail gamma, home of 500 guns that perform identical to each other

[north thistle]

They really did my boy Strider dirty 🥀

[charred nova]

and the game could have gone on to actually be some what interesting

[meager crag]

>Adds new faction
>Nukes new faction halfway through the game

Why was faction added?

[vernal lily]

Strider

[north thistle]

😔

[charred nova]

nukes them after being in like 1/8th of the game

[north thistle]

The Lynx is a great sniper though

[shrewd needle]

Exactly, meaning you can use the gun you like instead of one you don't. 😏

I love the VSS Vintorez/AS Val. They perform like shit in-game.

[charred nova]

you literally meet them

[hallow shadow]

“I don’t wanna go, Mr. Skif”
-Strider, Stalker Infinity War

[charred nova]

just add some other way to get it

[wooden walrus]

I don't particularly object to noontide's existence or arc, but it's true that everything happens way way way too fast

all guns perform the same anyway, the shoot and kill…
i would just rather have something unique rather than using the same svd or kharod…

[wooden walrus]

I think gamma's progression shits the bed once you go past smgs.

smgs are incredibly well done, they all have their own thing, they have their own caliber coverage, different attachments, honestly, really nice

but there's 5 of them for a reason

[shrewd needle]

Or use the SVD if you like it rather than being forced to use something else.

[wooden walrus]

once you move to class Cs it's basically just pick the skin swap that you like better ig

[main jewel]

a vsk 94 would be cool but erm ion know

[charred nova]

the activation of the monolith is completely not needed for the rest of the stalker 2 plot to happen

its just a really stupid excuse to member berry monolith back into the game

[weary hedge]

Should’ve just made ward the bad guys or make a new enemy

[vernal lily]

Bye for now chat

[charred nova]

make the bad guys society
