Check here for any updates, there’s a filter to select your platform.

[ebon blade]

No. This is the area west of the Cement factory Duty base.

I just left the area with all the containers stacked together behind me.

[shrewd needle]

Ah, fair. Was just wondering due to the long shadow left of the Bloodsucker.

[ebon blade]

No, that's a good question. There must be some pole behind me on a hill. I'll have to go look.

[sterile radish]

will do, thank you man

[wooden walrus]

Funny that you say that,

https://mod.io/g/stalker2/m/oxa-core-oxides-expanded-armory#description

Unsure if that's already available for consoles, guess it is if it's already in modio?

[hallow shadow]

Not this week, not yet.

[hallow shadow]

I’ll hop off Helldivers so fast.

Is it on console?

[wooden walrus]

Ah crap still not on console??

[tardy rain]

nah not just yet

[wooden walrus]

Thought modio meant console, sorry

[hallow shadow]

I know Oxide already submitted it.

I’m ready, too. The Clusterfuck model is beautiful, lad. Wonderful work.

[tardy rain]

but its done

[hallow shadow]

But I’m on Hellmire, doing my part for the Major Order.

why does it say my pak folder have 2tb of files

[vernal lily]

Yo I remember you

[teal shadow]

fr?

[vernal lily]

Long time no see

Probably confusing because of my wacky name change, but I'm Dr Faust

[teal shadow]

ohhhh

hello!
I havent seen you in a while either

[vernal lily]

Not sure how I feel about my name now currently being Dr Feet

[weary hedge]

I can change it back if you want lmao

Pretty sure cheezit man gave you the honor

[teal shadow]

Its funny

[vernal lily]

hm

I hope you cleared out the name and not type it in . Funny name change won't happen on my end if you do that.

[fickle hill]

Dr. Foofenshmirtz but dumber

EpiPen stalker edition

[vernal lily]

Idk if it's just me, but the type of purple veteran roles have is like near invisible

Probably because I use dark background I suppose

[weary hedge]

I also use dark. So is experienced

[vernal lily]

Mod roles at least have the shiny ones

[ebon blade]

This is what I see. I can't stand a white background. Too bright and blinding.

[vernal lily]

Yeah, I literally not see anything, it's very faint purple

I think I just have to use white background, and yeah I do also hate the brightness it has.

[ebon blade]

The Moderators were given the shiny effect purple, to make them stand out from the Veteran purple.

[vernal lily]

That's understandable, I was just wondering if it's just me or not. Not a big deal.

[ebon blade]

Almost Orange.

[fickle hill]

Out of the rainbow

[dull osprey]

something that really confuzzles me is how the monolithians don't have a PSZ type armor

excluding the zircon suit etc

i'd LOVE to have a PSZ12M Monolith armor lol

[arctic seal]

hiiiiiii

[dull osprey]

hi nakamura

how's it going, friend?

[arctic seal]

its going good

[dull osprey]

pick your faction btw.. #👥┃faction-choice

[arctic seal]

where do i pick thefaction

[dull osprey]

that channel!!!

[ebon blade]

What is strange is, only the Freedom Faction has the PSZ-12V Bulat.

[dull osprey]

you right..

[arctic seal]

i like fredom

actually nah i like clear sky better

[dull osprey]

i remember seeing the freedom barkeep smoking that freedom pack iykyk

[dull osprey]

SIRCAA took ur PKM

[ebon blade]

The PSZ-9 is only Duty, Spark and the Mercenaries

[dull osprey]

:(

[shrewd needle]

Just might be a naming-scheme thing, since the Freedom doesn't have a PSZ-9 and the PSZ-9s of other factions are equivalent to/better than the Guardian of Freedom.

OTOH,the 'lesser' Exo-Skeletons could be considered an equivalent to the Bulat.

For example, the Cuirass is the 'light' Exo-Skeleton while the Shielf of Duty is the 'heavy' one (comparable to the Bulwark; which is the Bulat's ES version).

[dull osprey]

if only the Wish Granter had a sense of better fashion and armor

[shrewd needle]

The Spark and Duty PSZ-9s offer ES-levels of physical protection (and radiation).

[wooden walrus]

budget cuts

[arctic seal]

i hate that they were lazy with adding clear sky to stalker 2, they just erased it from the universe

[wooden walrus]

I mean that's kinda lore since cs though

[dull osprey]

you can still go to the base and get some armor, idk tho

[shrewd needle]

SIRCAA took nothing, Skif is just a misguided Sparker.

[shrewd needle]

What Ottomic said; Clear Sky is extinct for a reason.

[dull osprey]

but it's uh, completely abandoned.

[wooden walrus]

doesn't CoP make specific mention of the fact that the entirety of cringe sky was wiped out?

[shrewd needle]

No, just different paths of upgrades.

[shrewd needle]

Novikov and Nimble weren't, so not exactly all.

And Nimble's still in S2 (though apparently far less in knowledge terms than shown in prior games).

[ebon blade]

The Lore says: "After the military rejected the PSZ-12 in favor of the Berill, a large batch of these armored suits was written off and sold as surplus inventory. In the end, almost all of the Bulats were bought by Freedom."

[wooden walrus]

I mean I think it'd be cool if they were still around, if only because 2's map design is very lopsided and weirdly spaced out

[dull osprey]

almost all!

[shrewd needle]

Yea, I know, I'm just saying in terms of protection they provide.

And, well...the Military still has the Berill, I suppose?

[dull osprey]

monolith could still get em

[primal nimbus]

No man.
They’re stuck with what they have.

[dull osprey]

:<

[shrewd needle]

TBF, they have the best, so...

[primal nimbus]

Exactly.

Ruby and Diamond are literally unbeatable.

[shrewd needle]

I love how there's 2 tiers of Exo-Skeletons in the game for reasons beyond me.

[hallow shadow]

Which Exo is “the best”?

[ebon blade]

Well...it is true the Monolith are the gayest faction in the Zone.
Just look at any of the people that mindlessly follow them.

[dull osprey]

oops OwO i accidentally.. invaded zalissya >w< and killed uncle lyonya sowwy stawlkers!!

[shrewd needle]

• Duty = Cuirass and Shield of Duty.
• Freedom = Bulwark and Liberty.
• Ward = Operator and Shturm.
• Monolith = Ruby and Diamond.
• Mercenaries/Regular = Exo-Skeleton/Brummbar.

[primal nimbus]

Tf you mean killed him. He TOO is a Monolithian

[dull osprey]

shield of duty is my favorite exo, even with its... disabilities

[hallow shadow]

Merci beaucoup, Mon frere

[dull osprey]

i don't speak spanish

[hallow shadow]

It’s French.
“Thank you, my brother”

[dull osprey]

oh..

[shrewd needle]

The first one is the 'lower' tier, the second one is the 'higher' tier (so Cuirass is the worse version of Shield of Duty).

[hallow shadow]

Is there any “one exo to rule them all”?

[shrewd needle]

But I don't get why there's 2 tiers of ES and why all the shit is heavily in favour of Freedom with the most balanced shit.

[primal nimbus]

Why can you not sprint with Duty exos at all 💀

[dull osprey]

PSZ9I falcon

[hallow shadow]

Falcon armor is bae.

[dull osprey]

they're meant for mutant hunting, aka standing still

[shrewd needle]

Diamond. SSP-100M Discovery is good for anomalous/psionic shit, but Diamond is unbeatable for everything else.

[hallow shadow]

I prefer it over other armor of its class, simply for the Psi-Res

[dull osprey]

apparently duty loves mutant hunting

[primal nimbus]

Voronin screwed them

[hallow shadow]

Duty hates Psi-Res, apparently.

[hallow shadow]

But, Duty has an edgy color scheme, and I like that.

[dull osprey]

agreed

looking to off some freedomers at rostok

i cleared rostok out completely before

[primal nimbus]

It belongs to Duty anyways

[boreal gyro]

do tourist's breakfast and ciliate artifacts have identical stats?

[dull osprey]

i guess that's why he's a professor

[shrewd needle]

Huh, Survey is the Spark version...explains the increased radiation and psionic protection.

I swear, I keep getting confused between the Survey, the Discovery and SIRCAA.

[boreal gyro]

their in-game stats are identical at least

[dull osprey]

sparkers are weird, n i hate their color scheme but man that armor is goated

[hallow shadow]

Spark (scar) is weird, but they got nice suits.

[shrewd needle]

Especially after upgrades; they're ridiculously similar.

[hallow shadow]

Yeah. That Baby-Puke Green color they use is atrocious.

[shrewd needle]

It is what it is.

[boreal gyro]

artifact upgrades?

[dull osprey]

it goes great with weird pot and hypercube

[shrewd needle]

It's not green, it's cyan.

[primal nimbus]

Spark camo scheme is Merc, but lighter and greener

[dull osprey]

mtn dew multicam

[shrewd needle]

No, all upgrades. And they have the same model, so...meh.

[ebon blade]

SSP-100 Discovery is white, SSP-100I Survey is teal, SSP-100M SIRCAA is teal with yellow accents.

[primal nimbus]

Mfw duct tape companies profit off of multicam uniforms

[boreal gyro]

i asked about the ciliate and tourists's breakfast artifacts....

[hallow shadow]

Gonna Baja Busta Cap in they ass.

[dull osprey]

i only like the PSZ9N wolfhound cuz it's used by tyrant, that cool looking merc

[shrewd needle]

Yea, the white one is easy, but the Survey and SIRCAA look similar colour-wise. Not great with labels, NGL.

[primal nimbus]

Watch Stalkers be identified by what duct tape they wear

[shrewd needle]

Ciliate is a mid-range artifact, TB is low-range, I think.

[ebon blade]

I hate the yellow accents.

[boreal gyro]

both uncommon

[dull osprey]

grey duct tape means you're a monolithian and to be shot on sight

[hallow shadow]

Ciliate is a pretty artifact.

[dull osprey]

[hallow shadow]

Tourists Breakfast looks like a deathcore album cover.

[shrewd needle]

Eh, I don't really mind; as long as it protects.

[shrewd needle]

All artifacts are RNG-based; there's no common/uncommon.

[hallow shadow]

He probably meant in the description. Which states “common” or not.

[dull osprey]

what would it be like eating a tourists breakfast

[hallow shadow]

Irradiated vomit? I dunno.

Fkn boogers.

[dull osprey]

it'd taste like hydrochloric acid

[hallow shadow]

Yeah…. That.

[shrewd needle]

Tourist's Breakfast used to be the 'canned food' in the trilogy.

[hallow shadow]

Looks like some bile.

[dull osprey]

them tourists musta been built different

[shell flax]

You know I just realized that when you first meet harpy, when she pokes fun at you about Deggy not giving you a pass to Pripyiat, she flashes the most shit eating grin I’ve seen in the game

[dull osprey]

thats why there's so much people simping lol

[hallow shadow]

Is that her way of calling Skif a bish?

R o u g h

[primal nimbus]

Aunt Harpy

[shell flax]

She literally mocks everyone, I wouldn’t be surprised if she barely removers who Skif is until you get green rep with the Corps

[hallow shadow]

Like Lady Butterfly still calling Wolf (Sekiro) a Pup.

[vernal lily]

Harpy mentioned

[dull osprey]

harpy da goat

[vernal lily]

[primal nimbus]

[dull osprey]

[shell flax]

Also, Mewtwo, oxide officially pulled the trigger, now we wait for GSC

[hallow shadow]

[vernal lily]

That scared me for a second

what's the new sentient fireball anomaly called? it behaves like electra

[shell flax]

Fireball

[boreal gyro]

👍

[shell flax]

I’m waiting for a new anomaly that’s just some utterly unhinged shit but it’s just called like

Gust or something

[dull osprey]

no its definitely called "flame poltergeist"

i encountered two flame poltergeists in a row

so much lava and flames smh

[boreal gyro]

is that a joke or you don't know

[dull osprey]

they exist

[vernal lily]

Yeah, there are two types of poltergeists

[dull osprey]

but the anomaly is called fireball so

[boreal gyro]

it's not a poltergeist

[dull osprey]

chemical/acid poltergeists too

[hallow shadow]

Three.

[boreal gyro]

four types of poltergeist

physical, electrical, thermal, chemical

[hallow shadow]

THERE ARE SEVEN TYPES

[vernal lily]

Interesting, looks like I only encountered two then. I don't think I have seen the others unless they were recently added.

[shell flax]

Dead people don’t count Mewtwo

[dull osprey]

i keep having poltergeists spawn right by the prypiat base

[vernal lily]

There's actually 30

[hallow shadow]

If you go to Brain Scorcher, you can encounter one of each type, I’m sure.

[dull osprey]

why not the CHNPP?

[shrewd needle]

I swear, the Glutton is a PITA to use with a wireless mouse + bad model placement...

[hallow shadow]

Physical up front.
Electric and Chemical in the middle, Pyrogeist in the back.

Go to STC, then north up the hill to Brain Scorcher. All 3/4 types are just chilling.

[ebon blade]

Actually they all become physical once you kill them.

[boreal gyro]

damn bro thats mad funny

[vernal lily]

The other kinds are annoying as hell, but the one that just flies around and throws shit is kind of funny.

I’m sure those Bandits are getting high, somehow.

I want a “blink” system, like Dishonored

Zip around like Nightcrawler and paint the Zone

[ebon blade]

@shrewd needle Did you ever go to the two-story building beyond the fencing?
It seemed off-limits but now I'm having second thoughts about trying to go there.

[shell flax]

You’ll get blasted if you try iirc

[wild epoch]

youre not suppose to be able to get over, and if you do, you die

[shrewd needle]

Yes, you can. Go to the left of where you are and get to the very edge of the land (till the water); if you position yourself right, you can sprint to the edge, beyond the rolled-up barbed wire.

When I was at that building, didn't find anyone, but MapGenie says there's a sniper there.

The area is outside of the normal reasons, so any saves in that area will show as the Chernobyl Anomalous Zone rather than Cooling Towers

[ebon blade]

So there was nothing inside the building? No loot, no stash, nothing to see?

[shrewd needle]

SIRCAA underground; there's a PSZ-20 near the exit.

[shrewd needle]

Nope; it's out of the playable area (even though it can be reached by platforming), so there's nothing.

Same as the unfurnished buildings outside of the playable area, even though you can see their exteriors.

[ebon blade]

After I left the area and thought about it, I regretted not trying to go there.

[shrewd needle]

TBF, SIRCAA is a combat zone after the experiment, so you're permanently fighting others till you get to Richter.

[shrewd needle]

Well, you can still roam around, but the patch of land is tiny, so there's nothing except that tower, and even that's empty.

[floral elm]

There is also one on top of Icarus

One of coolest looking armors btw

[shrewd needle]

Not the most useful protection, though.

[ebon blade]

Seems like it's a missed opportunity to do more with it.
Do you think in early versions of the game, there was a Sniper there,
like your Map Genie says? It made no sense to have that building
boarded up, with the dead Dutyer. Why didn't he just leave?
They could have put a Bloodsucker in the compound.

[wild epoch]

Corundum Suit Enjoyers

[shrewd needle]

TBF, there's a lot of buildings beyond the playable areas (especially in places like Pripyat). But yea, maybe the original plan was to have some extension elsewhere and have that sniper as a blockage (like the one at Yaniv).

Or just a random threat (like the ones at the border at the LZ and Cordon).

[ebon blade]

Like the second floor of the building at the Malachite Repair Facility?

[wild epoch]

I could be wrong, it might have been the buggy state of the release of the game, but I'm pretty sure there weren't a lot of out of bounds threats to prevent you from going out, just nothing, so you came back or experienced a bug that killed ya like falling through the map

[shrewd needle]

Sort of, yea. Though the Repair Facility is entirely in the playable area.

[ebon blade]

I meant how the second floor looks like it was not expected the Player would go inside of it.
I had to break a window to get inside. There was no furniture or anything finished out there.

[wild epoch]

The railroad going from the east of zaton, to oobs/off the map was backwalking/jumping glitch able to slide up the wall and then to the edge but you eventually hit a radiation kill box

[shrewd needle]

Oh...yea, fair, that way. Lack of furnishing being a dead giveaway, after all (though the MRS might be a bug since it should be accessible).

[shrewd needle]

Where? I'm confused.

Only thing going east out of Zaton is the Preobrazhensky Bridge, which is broken.

[wild epoch]

my bad i meant cordon, near rookie village

[shrewd needle]

Look at the number of corpses...

[wild epoch]

post SIRCAA? I feel like I've found a lot more faction fighting after that point in the story

[shrewd needle]

Yea, the one at Dark's hideout (used to be the entrance to the Dark Valley back in SoC and CS).

There seems to be an end, though, since vehicles board up the tunnel. Radiation is, of course, fake and infinite.

[shrewd needle]

Yea, though in this case, there were 3 Freedom members pre-existing and Bandits + Monolith spawned in (groups of 5).

1 Freedom guy survived, other 2 died and we killed the rest of the Bandits and Monolith.

I'd saved the same squad before (IDK if they had the same names, but there always were 3 Freedom guys there) and now, couldn't save them all.

[wild epoch]

WAIT, exactly 3 freedom, 5 monolith, and several bandits? By any chance were 2 of the monolith near they light blue shack and the others in the forest?

[shrewd needle]

No, they were all at the Roadside Shop. Monolith were at the intersection, Bandits were right near the shop and the Freedom were exposed.

[wild epoch]

Cause unless certain encounters are procedural, thats how I just ran into a group at that exact location like yesterday.

[wild epoch]

Ah okay, I had bandits in the road, 3 freedom in the shop, 2 monlith by the light blue shack and then 3 in the tree line across from the shop

[shrewd needle]

Maybe enemies are scripted to spawn there but random amounts?

[shrewd needle]

Yea, that explains it; it's a spawn point but NPCs being random. Though since the Freedom members are for both you and me, might be permanent there?

[wild epoch]

Like I know NPCs can spawn anywhere but for that exact location to spawn freedom members apart of an event is sorta wild.

[ebon blade]

Freedom against Bandits? All died?

[lucid charm]

And that’s shadow of Chernobyl completed on master, on Xbox

1 guy lived; I killed most of the Bandits and Monolith; the surviving guy might've killed a couple.

[shrewd needle]

They were always there, though. Maybe that place is meant for it.

[shrewd needle]

Congratulations.

[wild epoch]

Oh so the bandits were aggro? The Bandits and Freedom where both friendly and they ganged up on the monolith, sadly they all died cause one exosuit wearing NPC just ate them alive

Which of the 5 wishes did you get from the Wish Granter?

[hallow veldt]

You saw nothing….

[lucid charm]

Oh, I went for the true ending. I saved beforehand for the achievement though and got the monies ending.
Then I reloaded the save and completed it…still on master

[ebon blade]

Just testing you. There are 7 endings.

[lucid charm]

There’s the 5 wishes, there’s join the C-con, then there’s reject C-con. For reject C-con you run into an old…acquaintance

[shrewd needle]

Not in mine; the Bandits, Freedom and Monolith were all hostile to each other.

In my case, NPCs often spawn in a 'T-pose' (not literally, but 'inactive' AI), so they don't generally act, react, anything.

I pause and unpause the game and the AI 'kicks in', and since 10 enemies existed, they wiped the shit out of Freedom even with me taking them all on as much as I could (shoot the majority of them, around 6-7 enemies).

I swear I would turn back time only for S2 to become S3 battleroyale

[shrewd needle]

Now I'm thinking that I should've kept the G36 instead of swap to the Malyuk.

Latter has far more damage, but the lack of grenade launcher is a nuisance.

And I still don't get why the Tavor and Malyuk don't get the phucking GL...like, they clearly support under-barrel rails.

[ebon blade]

A main battle rifle without a grenade launcher, is not a wise decision.

it can only be seva, seva-d, or seva-5 because of the neck hoses
doesn't have yellow/red for seva-d
and the base seva isnt that bright of a green

Eh, I'm not buying either ways, was hoping for it to be in-world, but I'll check my stash at the Noon Base once I finish with Lodochka...

[shrewd needle]

SEVA-D = Duty suit with black suit and red accents.

SEVA-V = Freedom, I think? They have forest camouflage, while the one in the picture is plain green.

The one in the picture looks WAY too similar to the old SSP-99M (militarized/armoured version of the orange SSP-99).

[wild epoch]

ah I thought it was slightly camouflaged, but just not rendering completely

if no camo and just plain color, base seva

[dreamy dagger]

I'm out with the cold

[wild epoch]

only 3 protective suits with the neck hoses,

[shrewd needle]

Yea, no camouflage; it's as mono-coloured as the SSP-99.

I'm heading to the Noon base, I'll check stash once I'm in.

[shrewd needle]

Exactly this, @wild epoch.

[ebon blade]

I can still tell him what's happening in my game, as he tells me what's in his earlier version.

[wild epoch]

so that was on a freedom guy BUT it didn't have camo, unless freedom just rocks base seva suits too

or if freedom has a all olive green version

[ebon blade]

What's a Seva-5?

[meager crag]

SEVA - 5 = -1

[wild epoch]

Oh its a V, I thought it was the roman numeral for 5, but I seen in the trivia its V for Volya

[weary hedge]

SEVA (x - 5) = ?
to solve for x we have to figure out out seva. What is seva? Why is seva.

[ebon blade]

I don't believe they are using roman numerals for the suits.

I wore the free SEVA-V for some time until I found better.

[shrewd needle]

OK, I just saw...I have the following:

• Wanderer Suit (Monolith).
• SEVA-D (Duty).
• SEVA-I (Spark).
• SEVA-V (Freedom).
• SSP-99 (Scientists).

So the base SEVA is the one I don't have.

[weary hedge]

There’s a free one in Rostok. Not sure if it’s on ur version tho

[wild epoch]

Well seeing how each suit beyond the basic SEVA was adopted by a faction, figured freedom went all philosophical and named theirs the SEVA-V for SEVA-5 cause they're "special" like that

[shrewd needle]

Where?

Where are you when you got this message?

[exotic glacier]

Detention centre, The Brood, That Car lot with the helicopter jumping puzzle and reloading depot or whatever. They have artifacts under the map and they don't jump or move so that I can go get them. Emissions don't reset this, clearly. They have been broken since 1.5.

[shrewd needle]

Northern part of Wild Island (the internal one, where the Noon Base exists). There's a path there that needs to be taken to infiltrate the Base and get a psionic emitter.

This is the massive cave under the Noon Base, accessed after taking an extremely claustrophobic path through a tunnel.

Can only be accessed after Lodochka tells you to get in and fix the ventilation (and you have to, to get the emitter).

[vapid galleon]

when I going here, I thought life Zone was gonna be simple. No laws, you're your own boss, just youu against nature. Maan, was I stupid

[shrewd needle]

You are your own boss, though. Just that the Zone is everyone's boss.

[vapid galleon]

facts

[wild epoch]

If you killed Tyrant with the revolver like an absolute pimp. Just know that I salute you because homie ate all 18 rounds of the revolver.

[shrewd needle]

That's not a 1.5 problem; that's existed since forever. I'm on 1.1.3 and even I get stuck artifacts.

[shrewd needle]

He's at the top for a reason (and your Taurus isn't upgraded.)

[weary hedge]

[shrewd needle]

The heavy armours/Exo-Skeletons can take huge amounts of damage unless you're shooting the head.

And even the head will take a couple of shots.

So, as I thought; the console command I used to fix the permanent psionic bug also eliminated all other psionic radiation for me... 😔

And that Emitter is epileptic as hell without the torch...

[ebon blade]

I found the cave opening and went in there and kept dying. Then I read it was only doable by getting some mission later and activating ventilation fans.

[wild epoch]

In the monolith base, if you go left from the mechanic area, there is a back area where you can place a new plug so the vents can be cleared. But you need the plug from even earlier that that.

[shrewd needle]

Yep; only post-SIRCAA; you have to rescue Lodochka and get a fuse from Quiet's camp to fix the ventilation in the Noon Base.

[shrewd needle]

Yep, Quiet's camp.

Also, very funni part; I didn't meet the Mercenaries when I got the emitter and got out of the Noon Base.

Must've bugged out.

[wild epoch]

YOU MISS SUCH A NICE PART

You get to clap skipper, who is an annoying merc you can encounter a couple of times and it just feels SO good to cap him.

[shrewd needle]

I have capped him in an earlier play-through, but IDK why he and his goons didn't show up this time.

[wild epoch]

By any chance did you kill him prior to the mission? I'm pretty sure you can encounter him earlier by chance at Quiet's camp, but you can't really do anything with him. No talk dialogue or anything.

[shrewd needle]

Nope; no one at Quiet's camp except Noontiders.

And Wild Island is inaccessible before you're told to go there (all the ways are sealed off).

[wild epoch]

It would be post meeting Strider by pre SIRCAA.

[drifting bear]

You can find it on Duga region

[shrewd needle]

Nah; didn't happen to me this time.

[ebon blade]

Is this before or after you have to rush back to Zalissya?

[shrewd needle]

That has no time limit; as long as you stay around 300-500 metres away from Zalissya, it won't trigger.

Currently going to Zalissya to participate in defence.

And...accidentally shot at stalkers. 😔

[ebon blade]

I always read, the longer you take and don't rush, the less you have a chance of success.

[wild epoch]

I'm thinking about some gun things atm and I'm a bit confused.

The Fora-221 is a 545x39 bullpup that can be converted into a 556x45 but LOSES damage, despite 556 having better penetration, because there are upgrades in the game that allow bullets to "pen" better so I'm assuming the game uses pen to equal higher damage.

But then again this opens up more to the debate that bullets should carry damage rating instead of the gun

But while on the topic of bullets and caliber, the only gun chambered in true soviet fashion is the RPM-74, not a single 762x39 ak, just a light machine gun with less damage than the 545 akm-74s.

[shrewd needle]

Well, it shows up as a 'side activity', so yea, it doesn't really matter.

I just took my time getting to Zalissya (Lodochka, Noon Base, Sphere) and it's fine.

[wild epoch]

I swear I'm not trying to be a milsim bro, I just like when calibers perform the way they were intended to.

[ebon blade]

I didn't realize you had to go to Sphere before Zalissya.

[wild epoch]

You don't? I went from Noon Base with the first emitter, ran into the Zalissya Defense afterwards, and then got the second emitter from Sphere.

[ebon blade]

Before you know it, others will convince you to add some gun Mod, for "Mah Rebalancing" reasons.

[shrewd needle]

What Devin said; your main mission is to get the Emitter to Scar/Korshunov.

Noon Base, Sphere and Zalissya are all optional.

[wild epoch]

Even though Sphere comes up as a main mission, it is optional to retrieve the second emitter.

[ebon blade]

But don't you want to help Zalissya to save some of the important NPCs there?

[wild epoch]

Eventually I'll get there but I'm enjoying the game as the devs intended even though I may not agree with it. First play-through any game is always mod-free.

[shrewd needle]

You do, but when you help is on you.

As I said, all 3 are optional, so they'll last as long as it takes. Until you get within 400 metres of Zalissya, it won't trigger.

And the Monolith won't spawn till you're inside Zalissya.

[ebon blade]

There are some people that want this gun to perform as well as that gun. Rebalancing to them, means any gun they choose performs equally.

[wild epoch]

Yeah I mean, like I said I like when calibers perform as they should but its not a necessity to me. I just like when the stat makes sense. I fully expect 545 aks to be the most widely available weapon with the most amount of ammo available, then the AR having slightly better pen (or damage) with more scarcity of ammo, and then a 762 ak dealing more damage than those but even more rare ammo.

[shrewd needle]

I just realized...I accidentally did all the missions post-SIRCAA (especally the Sphere) on Rookie. 🤦

Eh, well...that explains why I survived. 😆

[wild epoch]

Nothing wrong with enjoying the game vs having a challenge. I mean I personally play on stalker to just have a mix of combat that will test me while being able to enjoy the story.

[shrewd needle]

No, no...I play on Veteran, but I change difficulty to Rookie at traders/technicians (for prices).

And often, I forget to change difficulty back. I hate it when difficulty changes prices like this. 😡

[shrewd needle]

I guess it did; later parts will be far more frustrating, after all.

[shrewd needle]

Very true.

[ebon blade]

I found Ward and Duty sleeping in the Medic's house in the Rookie Village.

[shrewd needle]

What...the hell...is that?

[stark crescent]

They asked everyone on production, at my work, if they were willing to take a 3 day weekend till the end of the year. Theres so little work, ita unreal. The compensation is that next year, for every hour you work extra, you get 2 hours of pto. Which in itself is a nice deal.

[shrewd needle]

PTO?

[stark crescent]

Paid time off

[shrewd needle]

Damn, what do you people to to get such generous incentives?

[stark crescent]

We are europeans

[shrewd needle]

I mean what work you do...

[ebon blade]

What type of production? What do you make or produce?

[stark crescent]

Hmm. Google translates it as bodywork. Basically, we convert vans to pickups and trucks. And we make truck trailers and everything in between

But dur h government pushed a higher tax on everything non electric, so this year, hardly any company bought new vans

[shrewd needle]

Yes. 'Respect' and 'Reverence'.

[charred nova]

Of course

There’s retard of course

Then there’s the other one

[shrewd needle]

Guess the Gaffer's dialogues bugged out enough to change his expressions to some other model, leading to the face distorting.

[stark crescent]

Bug? He just likes to show off his ivory

[shrewd needle]

I think that's the wrong kind of ivory.

[shrewd needle]

Also, I finally got a proper SEVA, @grim rose and @ebon blade.

Earned it for Zalissya defence from the Gaffer + helping Warlock, Lens and himself (terminating Lyonya).

[stark crescent]

New artifact, clearly.

[ebon blade]

Just what you needed for your collection.

[stark crescent]

Som regular seva. Unnamed variant.

[shrewd needle]

Very disgusting.

[shrewd needle]

Yea; I was confused earlier by NPCs wearing it (hadn't seen it before and the old games had different colour).

[tall depot]

The psi anomalies are getting crazier

[ebon blade]

Is the bug his teeth or the off-topic chatter about Freedom whoring out?

[charred nova]

Unlucky

[shrewd needle]

Both, together.

Dialogue is made for random NPC, so the expression changes to that as well (leading to the facial structure trying to match the NPC). Voice changes too.

Gaffer's much fatter, so the face and cheeks don't fit, hence...the whole expression being broken.

[ebon blade]

Maybe he got demonically possessed by Krezzin.

[shrewd needle]

Canon. Krezzin's brain-rot affected Gaffer in my game!

[ebon blade]

Krezzin.

[ebon blade]

I have that happen with many NPCs, where they are talking in one voice,
and when I try to talk to them, they say in another voice "Talk to my Boss".

[dull osprey]

the Boss?

like, mgs the boss?

[ebon blade]

No.

So many missed opportunities in this game, if only those were implemented. At least then no one would care about a life.
