I’ve never been that far. But I always help him.
Wipe those silly bandits every time.
that one cutscene as the finest monolith sniper was goated lol
you don't actually interact with the guy, the location where he's found the second time is spoiler zone
the lost boys right?
I think you're talking about Strider
Wait what are we talking about, I am lost

two different topics
They should add non mutated cats or dogs that you can randomly see
Same
that cutscene with that monolithian on the left with a RPG
you witness it as the finest monolithian sniper ever
technically yes! the ninth in the lesser zone, in the lost boys side quest
I’ve never beaten S2, yet. I’ve never seen the inside of SIRCAA. I always stop and restart around Swamps. Because fk that place.
Aside from him, but yes. I always help Ninth.
except he's uhm, friendly towards you
||do yall know about the sniper rifle you can find on top of the building that you were sniping with captain price in mw2 in pripyat?||
lemme thinks.. there probably is monolith pre-SIRCAA
yea
I’d probably have to go down to Duga or something
except it's a M107 Super lol
Such a cool refrence
Ik
Technically there are some in Pripyat if you noclip past Yaniv station
Cause he isn’t actually monolith
They actually get the corrundum armor post SIRCCA events
Only real sniper I’ve used is an M24. (R700)
Even then. It was just practice. I never got certified on Phase 2 SRT
Which is fine. I’d hate being an MO, anyway.
i love running zircon suit, PA-7, lynx, ptm monolith, hypercube, and a compass!!! literally feels like ur a monolithian/noontider..
Zircon looks cool as hell. Just wish it was better.
its fun, heh
Been running Guardian of Freedom; Mask-1, Sofmod, Ram-2, and a USP.
Cmon Bro, the Zone wont see itself.
i hate not being able to see the hood :(
PSZ-5V, my beloved.
I like running SOFMOD, with some nice match grade 5.56.
Makes plinking Zombie Skulls a breeze.
I do love the Veteran Vintorez rifle from the Preorder.
I still wish we had a SAW. Not having a 5.56 LMG makes me feel like there’s a gap, in firepower.
Inb4 Amnesia tells me “GP37 with Beta C Mag”
WaaaaaaaaaaZZazaazzazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeep
i..
glutton
heh
Im confused, Owl, the merchant,didn't he have an RPD in his display a couple updates ago or am I losing my mind
Is it 5.56?
7.62x54
Stuff your sack in your sorries, bro.
same as the three line rifle
Wachu got going, man....
its a pkm
bison has a sotnyk on display somehow
Ohhh. Yeah, I see.
I meant M249
STALKER 2 update 1.7 testing has gone on but it doesnt have engine upgrade. Who needs that sh/t?
Keep getting shart wifi notification from geforce now, trying to play S2. I give up.
Makes me sad the mods are tied to an internet connection.
Offline stalker is vanilla stalker.
Say what!
I'm just going to go back to trilOG and call it a day.
S2 mods require constant internet connection?
I’m sorry you’re having troubles, friend.
I hope the connection gets better for you.
At least, on console, they do.
Yes.
It’s only happened once.
Some road construction crew cut a line. I had no connection for like 6hrs.
This was previous to 1.6.
But yeah. All my mods had disabled. Quite disorienting.
GSC are definitely killing the mod scene on seXbox
correct!
Correcticus!
Affirmadeus
the day xbox modding on STALKER 2 is better, is the day the zone will be saved
Guys who is your favorite content creator which plays stalker 2?
Content creator? Like.. Mod Author?
operatordrewski
REAL
All mod authors are my favorite.
Basic Training.
The funniest place I wasn’t allowed to laugh.
Never thought i could agree with a monolithian on something
Show me your war face, big dog!
One tiny giggle and you'll be shoveling water out the lake for eternity
my knees are aching. must be an emission coming
I hate emissions
they're mostly scripted
one happens at the tornado in yaniv
They always give me headaches (if you know you know

Alr i will try that
Man, lowkey bummed out right now. Can't play anything on cloud gaming anymore it looks like.
Everything turns into 144p youtube video
Why do you have GeForce? Is there no ISP near you?
I see you got it going already, make sure to wear gloves!
STUCKER 2 so bad you have to put up a frikkin ladder, climb a goddamed cloud, make sure you don't fall while playing a darn game... who the fk invented that extreme way of playing!
This is dangerous than taking selfie on a moving train!
GSC should be sued for putting people in danger
When special events or contests are held.
When you don't have a PC > CPU and/or GPU capable enough, you can use GeForce to play video games in the cloud.
Not sure what you mean, but I use an ethernet cable. My pc can't run S2 without cloud gaming.
Do you know when the arena is making a return? Or is that up to GSC members
Ohhhh. I’m not on PC. That’s a new name.
I thought it was a substitute for an ISP.
I apologize for the misconception
The last event was right before the release of Stalker 2.
I doubt there will be another for some time, now that all
the resources are improving Stalker 2, updating the engine,
coming out with the PS5 version and the upcoming DLCs.
NOOOOOO😭
Alright, thanks for the info
an arena type PVP thingy for STALKER 2 would be cool
I think that’s the only multiplayer this game is getting.
Maybe later some time in 2026.
Will stalker 2 get coop or no
At some point, later.
But yeah. Just TDM or some shit.
Never.
🙁

A mod. That adds a follower.
Like Skyrim/fallout.
Put my fellow monolith on a leash
The Stalker experience is not made for you and your buddy
to explore, while chatting about furries, anime and mom insults.
Hmm that could be good
I lend you mine I dont play anyways
But CoOp wouldn’t feel right, to me. The story, the map…
It’s not conducive to two nerds running around.
True
Gimme some AI teammate, to trade aggro with. And I’m happy.
I just realized that coop would unadd the lonely eerie feeling

I wish there was a “rematch” system, like Pokemon Gold.
Instead of a phone call to go re-battle someone.
A PDA notification that your least favorite (mutant/faction) has just taken over that facility you just cleared.
Or, when a Bartender resets their Jobs, you get a ping.
Pretty small number for me, I sped up my gameplay a little bit because I was going too slow. Was worried about burnout.

Guys i found an easy way to get a good gun in the beginning of call of prypiat
You just need to go into the base of the mercenaries near the gas station and kill them and one of them should have a gun that looks similar to hk416 with a scope
Or grab the free SVD
He has a exoskeleton but he is easy to kill just with an aks
Far cry style outposts of supplies to take over, or let be taken over. Check points in faction territories also
Maybe even some armor-dependent aggro.
Get caught wearing that Spark shit in Chemical Plant. Go ahead.

Guys
If you had to choose 2 Stalker characters as your body guards and 2 as your assassins, who would you choose?
I don’t know what you mean by that.
I’d choose Major Degtyarev and Strelok as my Bodyguards
PDA contacts, calls, warnings of mutant movements etc
I’ll take Richter and that Merc I saved from the Sucker in Rostok.
And Strider and Scar as my assassin
Ohhhh. Yeah. That shit would be sick.
To come assassinate me? Hmmm. Send Harpy after me. I hear she’s good at killing shit.
bodyguards: korshunov, degtyarev, assassins: birch, arnie
You have to choose two
Harpy and Nimble
You think I should tag Tec?
He can probably see this, already.
I miss my pookie tho
Blegh.
Heavy metal blegh.
Whatchu want yung blood
^^^ @weary hedge
I choose Agatha and her twin, Ahtaga.
Probably nimble and yoga as my bodyguards. Strelok and Scar as my assassins
Wachu got going you 2
You going to war?

Thank you Tony

I just watched that movie tonight.
Can you comfirm that she don't know shit about fuck?
I thought that actress looked like shit in that movie.
The best actress is that one OnlyArtifacts model.
I think she also plays in HBO Chornobyl
Anyone do Warlock's side-mission to pick up this package?
I go to the location, right by the Bubla, and there's nothing there.
As soon as I arrive on the scene, the side mission icon vanishes.
Is it in the loot by the bus stop?
Thats the only thing I think it could be near in the circle
Enlarge the picture. It shows a spot by the edge of the water.
I see it but the water is within the bubble draw range. Unless theres a corpse somewhere you need to loot
The center of the blue exclamation should be the same as the location of the package.
It's not meant to be some vague location within the circle.
Even so, the blue icon symbol should guide me, once there.
Krezzin, I think I'm maybe about halfway exploring.
This is where I paused the main mission to explore.
Still have not done Zaton, Swamps, the Duga and western Burnt Forest.
Exploring for how long?
A lot of unexplored locations between STC Malachite and Rostok.
Have not explored Jupiter or Pripyat. Just most of Yaniv territory but not all.
Cooling Towers barely touched, just the far east and never been to SIRCAA.
No clue about that, boss
1,262 hours. Seen about half the game, I guess.
Show me your Steam playtime screenshot so I can congratulate you
1900 hours. Legend
I'm guessing that the number of days and hours in my saves, is probably more accurate.
You said 1200 but it shows 1800. What in the unholy f*ck... I guess you dont mind the lack of content and the AI then 😄
This man is out of C-Control
The Zone is so large and there is so much to see.
I would say the average Player sees less than 20% of it.
Not much to do though, right?
I am non-stop busy doing things. Never a dull moment.
oddly specific
Hello Stalkers!
nice day for fishin, aint it? uhu!
Here's what happens with the bugged side-mission.
I got to the location and the icon to find it vanishes.
So anyone kinda realize the Bloodsuckers cloaking less since the last patch?
Does this also happen with a completely fresh save?
Usually they always stay invisible and running around until they attack you, since last patch you can see them running toward you without their invincibility, sometimes
Is there no community support channel here, my only choice is #s2-support ? This sound cutting out ONLY happens in S2, and ONLY since the last update.
Pretty much yeah, that channel is your best bet.
Omg Wolf just messaged me in such a long while!

I submitted a ticket
Its really annoying, sound is so important in S2 and it never did this before Night of the Hunter, none of my other games do it. Just S2.
Game crashes every time I approach the Old Mill. Anyone ever had this happen?
Game vs you
Lol yes.
I tried it with mods, without mods, deleted crash logs, nothing seems to be working.
Verify game files?
Turn it off then turn it back on again
Imagine you're approaching the Old Mill and a bloodsucker approaches, locks your combat and movement abilities, and starts grinding your... wheat!
GSC better hurry up and release 1.8 with engine upgrade so I can lock in those sons of guns
And if not...
I'll commit log out of my life session

@ebon blade Woudlya think MP will come by 31.12.2026?
By 14 months from now? Good odds I would think. Is that your jam?

Given that there are Sucker nests, it would probably be hard as a rock, charging at you.

Dammit.
I see, will watch some
He lost it in Limansk.
He's waiting for the DLC,
so he can go back and save it.
You might as well doing so, I can't be the only one that stalker-addicted I don't even want to boost up the other games I have.


I found it extremely criminal that the Ram 2 isn't Acog compatible.
Basically the best slug gun in the game imo.
Sounds like something I would see on R6:Siege
But no reason to slap a scope on a shotgun. Really.
The you can slap a 2X scope on the saiga
One can, yes. But does that one should?
But. A 2x makes more sense than an ACOG. So. I can’t be too funny about it.
It missed the opportunity for it to be the best shotgun imo.
Tighter spread, bigger damage, faster aim down sight.
Why dont we have other melee weapons ingame besides knife?
Because Skif can barely swing that knife, as it is.
You can use it as a slug gun, which is better at range
But you are right.
I wish we had more melee option.
Specifically longer melee.
Like a machete.
@waxen marten whenever you have time, can you please provide an Answer to this Qweezinestion:
Why dont we have other melee weapons besides knife to play around with on mutants?
I ask anything in #📜┃ask-gsc I get ignored....
Btw why cant they add a full faction system like in Clear Sky?
Hold up right there, son, that's a question for the future!
Store it away for later questioning!
I didn't even know it was in the game
anyway, why did you leave us Monolith? why?
we are waiting for your commands
So you do acknowledge that it is a good question
They barely added Alife and you ask for a faction war system?
whats Alife
In a way, but not at all like the trilogy. In the trilogy, at least the most developed part of them, you could hear people fighting against others, against mutants, travelling to a location. They made the game a bit more rich in terms of immersion
is there a mod to make quest items weight 0
In S2 launch, this was a big complain, because there was barely that in the beginning
It has been better but its not there yet
No. But there are mods that increase your carrying capacity, and simultaneously lower the weight of everything. But it’s not 0.
I recommend “Shay’s QoL” series.
(No, not on console) PC mods? I dunno.
people love Honse
I’m scared of Honses. They make me nervous.
Beautiful beasts.
Frightening, though.
daily Honse is good for the soul
I believe it. But dang… Honse is expensive.
I volunteer with Honse
More than one Honse? Craziness.
the Honses love me cause I bring them carrot
That’s hardcore.
Owning honse is crazy. Way too costly.

Whats a good value for sharpness in stalker 2
(not sure about good but 20% worked well for me)
what?
Yes, they barely added you
They grabbed half of your human meat and put it in game
still exist more than Heavy update
Reason: Bad word usage
Like if I care 
lmao i think legendgamer is trying to speedrun getting banned
Reason: Bad word usage
look at all chats
Bots invading!
Mainly because it doesnt fit the current lore i think. Duty and Freedom had a truce.
nah but still that would be hella fun
In order to have faction wars or some sort, A-Life has to be in perfect condition.
Which I dont think will happen anytime soon. Still waiting for any hint on DLC tbh.
Well, no, not really
It was already pretty lacking in CS and it """kinda""" worked
oh well
Dudes, best mission - fighting 2 Burers down in the tunnels with NVG. Peak atmosphere.
fighting burers is NOT fun
Haven’t played since launch, is now a good time to jump back into the Zone? 
What do you value the most in the game? Or what have you wanted to see improved?
Just more chaos and stuff happening around me
I guess its better
When I played, I could get from point A to point B with nothing happening in between
There has been new implementations thats for sure
And I would get there very tired lol
Well, maybe wait for someone who has played recently hehe
I enjoy it, they are badass.
i one tapped a burer with a M107 super
jokes on you, i am the monolith
so we need your M107 Super i meant 
There's ome place where you have to fight 3
I was in a bandit base and walked around a corner literally right into one. I thought the game had stopped spawning enemies in behind you. Somehow I 3-shot him with my shotgun before he could pull Burer hax.

My biggest question is how many buildings are truly enterable???? I’m excited for it but so worried most buildings are gonna be static
4 at once? In general? Without perms? With a weird ass name?
Bwoe, you at STOCtown, pal!
btw what is going on with the dogs? why are they constanly doing 180s to dodge the player AIMING at them? doesnt make much sense, the dogs AI was much better on launch actually? they are just derping all around when you aim at them
Noticed this too, taking extremely fast shots or hitting them head on is the only way to kill them

Cus he got named lvl 4 mewtwo too many times

Oh mans lockin' in. Finished dinner, blasting ol skool trance music and keeping the chat hydrated!
aye hell yeah
I’m waiting with baited breath for the email from Leatherman
Imma be real, I’m more surprised he didn’t get banned after the many times you guys had to tell him to STFU
Don’t like banning people unless we have to
Fuuuuuuuuuk. Man's bout to have conversation with Leatherface himself!
send him to me he aint READY fr
I’m hoping they will just give me a brand new crunch

Hoping the interview I’ve got this week goes well
is it just me or does durability drop SUPER fast RN?
There’s a bug with thermal anomalies utterly blitzing you if the fire damage bugs out
You fast as fawk bwoe
ok what should i do then?
does reloading the game fix it?
I think so? Last time I had it I restarted anyways cause OXA launched on console
so I'm like 20k coupons back
and i just begun i suppose i will just reload an earlier save

That's a shame. Btw, how does it stack up against the SIRCAA variant when fully upgraded? Better, worse, about the same?
The Spark variant punches in the same class as exosuits
Eh....I wouldn't say CoP looks horrible but it definitely looks worse than Clear Sky.
Holy shit really? Damn, I'm gonna have to do some missions for Malachite again.
Yeah, it barely has less physical protection
Repeating myself, but how does it stack up with the SIRCAA variant?
Btw, can I just say I really appreciate the aesthetic of the SSP-100 suits? The SSP-99s looked like hazmat suits, which is appropriate, while the SSP-100s look like freaking space suits. I love it.
Actually the flavor text points it out, I think the SSP-100 is just straight based on space suits
Watchu all got growing?
Also haven’t used the sitcaa variant, usually gun for the Bulat or Wolfhound
idk if you'll lose fps, but you will get shader compilation stutters, and considering that UE5 has that problem a lot in general and S2 had it too, then it's just recommended to leave it compile
you can of course skip it but results may very
also, yay, I'm a free man now
free? like for purchase

Remind me how these scientists get jumped by random schmucks in leather jackets and high off toilet bowl crack?
Also still funny to me that the Survey is utterly stacked
But it’s Psi protection is barely a step away from nonexistent, I think Scar forgot something 
Scar just forgot normal people exist

Wake up we have a chat to keep alive
I'd have to read it again. I think there was mention of space-suit materials being used, but I can't remember if it says straight-up "These are literally modeled off of space suits.". I mean, it's seems pretty obvious that that's the case, but still.
Much appreciated.
Wonder why the psi protection is so much lower on the Spark version.
Because I guess TOOL forgot to install some special pressure regulators
how true is radiophobia 3 to the original soc? interested in playing the trilogy for the lore
TOOL? The band?
Nope that is an actual spark tech
Oh, you were answering my question about the psi protection. Oops.
Yes
Its not good for a first playthrough, I'll tell you that
why is that? if im coming from gamma would zrp be better
I mean, if you are coming from gamma and want more gamma (its not the same tho), then yeah, use radiophobia.
But, it introduces so many changes that you wont know what the original game was.
ZRP is good, yeah, although I would recommend to, after installing it, go to the gamedata folder, open the modifier.exe and change everything (or almost, depending on your taste) to default
If you're coming from GAMMA, I strongly recommend playing through the original trilogy unmodded. You really should get the vanilla experience.
But yeah, vanilla and radiophobia and very very different experiences
If you want, of course use it, its your game and your time and your life. I just personally dont recommend it
Oh, actually, I'm just researching
so radiophobia changes a lot of stuff kind of like anomaly does?
*Sees your name*
"Gordon Freeman in the flesh...or rather in the hazard suit. I took the liberty of confiscating your weapons, most of them were government property. As for the suit, I think you've earned it."
Radiophobia does changes the story
So its even worse for a first time playthrough
oh ok im really just looking for the original story
are any bug fix mods worth it? or is it good enough on its own
Yeah, stay away from any mods that change the story in any way.
No, because anomaly is a new fundation. It doesnt change, but it adds and takes away a lot from the game
It is good enough vanilla, but zrp works
Anomaly is a total conversion modpack thing, and GAMMA is a modpack on top of that.
Check this first
okok gotchu tysm guys
What the hell? Who changed my name to Tim tron?
Timothy
Yes?
Nothing, I just like the name
No problem.
Spark doesn’t need to put their recourses into higher psi protection because most of their members are heavily experienced in the zone and their main priority is thinning out the wards ranks and monolith if they stand in their way.
Sircaa’s suit is more optimized for enduring rough expeditions and gathering research, which sometimes requires said scientists to venture into psi infested areas.
Did you change my name btw?
No
I don’t know what it is about my TV but my eyes start to hurt a few minutes after I start playing Stalker 2, I do not have thus problem with other games
Yeah no, I have no idea lol
Which color code?
Its a Vizio tv
No I mean, which one is your S2 using
Uh
If you can, try swapping it to the other one
The default? I dont think I’ve ever messed with that setting
It was fine on my old TV
But then the leds in the bottom if it went out
You are not using dlss or frame gen, right?
Maybe a stupid remark, but the blurryness may affect
Its a blurryness that hurts to look at
@plain fiber what was it originally? I can change it if you want
Wait, pc or xbox?
Xbox
Following up from this:
Yeah, that makes sense. Spark generally serve as guards for Malachite expeditions iirc, so it makes sense that their suits would focus more on the combat protections over psi. I mean, realistically, how often are people running into psi as a danger?
Damn. Maybe try quality mode if you arent (or if it exists)
It was just Tim [STOC Old Guard].
I guess if you're by the river
Thank you Tec.
Basically only red forest, certain parts in Pripyat and Controller mutant hunting. But there’s obviously work arounds to those kind of expeditions and those aren’t their priorities
I kind of feel like the psi protection should still be higher than what it is. Like yeah, it's a Sparker suit, but it's also a scientific suit, and an SSP-100 at that.
I dunno, what's the psi protection on the base SSP-100? Hell, what's the base psi protection on an SSP-99?
Tbh though I might be putting off my current playthrough for a bit
little tip btw: think of the trilogy as more of an arcade experience than a hardcore one
And also, when you are shooting, try to not move, crouch and while using single fire more (it helps more than doing single fire bursts on automatic mode). SoC and CS's accuracy in early game is bad, so this will help you a ton (even at late game)
Ah shit, I forgot to take a screenshot showing how much of the map I've explored as opposed to doing the story.
Is there even a free roam mod or whatever its called for Xbox?
*Find a suit with a high degree of psi protection.*
"Well, I guess that's as good of an excuse as any to explore literally the entire rest of the map."
You can actually get the base SSP to have higher psi protection then sircaas variant. So my guess is the base model was stripped for more important features. Psi is not very common in the zone as it was in the trilogy.
Yeah fair enough. Just have to speculate at this point.
Technically? But it’s more intended to test other mods
Could also just be GSCs way of balancing things out aswell
Oh
Well, given that 1.7 is supposed to be a major rebalancing patch, that may end up changing in the future. No idea what specifically is being rebalanced, but I'm curious and excited.
At this point I’m just looking at mods to try out in my next proper playthrough when I do one
I hope so. Psi isn’t really something you need to worry about in stalker. That would be a nice change
Though I’m probably gonna be sidetracked cause I recently got the cash saved up for a game I’ve been eyeing recently, the folks here are helpful
Yeah, I wish psi was a bit more of a real threat outside of the small handful of anomalies.
Same
Controller gets a force choke move that instantly gibs you 
I'm really hoping that more of the map is opened up too, and that we see cut content restored. (I do remember in an old interview, GSC said that this was on the table, though they didn't go into detail.)
I hope the Korogod Forest comes back. Stumbled upon some footage and concept art of that and it looked really cool. Hopefully they'd move the doctor's house over there too like it was originally supposed to be instead of it being in the weird place it is in the Red Forest.
its not really an fps loss. eventually, shaders will be compiled in the background. while its compiling, you will notice that some textures arnt loaded in yet. you might start with a floating weapon. invisible walls. no trees. but they will load in eventually
there is a teleport mod that allows you to visit cut content area's.
and testing area's
does anyone get 60 fps in this game?
I get around 90. Why?
in all areas? i have a 5070ti and im still at 30-45 fps
On what? 1440p? Dlss and fsr 3.1 enabled?
im optimizing it on nvida app but im starting to realize it might be dogwater
1440p?
And, epic settings? Or which
im on high im on performance side like around 3
3 what...
And resolution, which resolution
1920x1080
What
45 fps on 1080? Something wrong
idk how to describe it, its like 3 from the left
Which cpu do you have
intel i7 12500 and its in good temp under 90
12thngen wont thermal throttle until it reaches 98
67 right now
Well yeah, something is wrong, but not with the game in this case
Check your hardware, check if your gpu and cpu are properly being used by the game
Just check for something, because this is not normal
like gpu usage is 29% and cpu is 56%, so u didnt do anything special to get a good fps?
💀 💀 💀 💀 💀
Wdym gpu usage is 29%
im in malchite lol idk if some areas are just bad
Do you have stalker 2 on right now?
its a 5070ti so i wouldnt expect it to use that much specially on medium settings. and yes stalker 2 is running right now
Change stalker 2 to fullscreen windowed. Then check the usage of cpu and gpu on task manager
It shouldnt use 29%, thats very very very very low usage
Yea, utilization should be closer to 100%, even at 1080p, unless you are severely capping framerate
ok thats a good hint. im getting some info about it. and im capping at 60 fps but i got it up to 120 to see if it changed
Try changing options to unlimited framerate. Ingame options. Not through the geforce app.
Then turn on dlss quality and the seperate fsr 3.1 option.
How does that work you might ask? It doesnt. Devs dont know what they sre doing. You need to play with the options to figure out whats best.
Happy to report im at 92 with 31% gpu usage after doing this
idk where i heard FSR = bad, so i was avoiding it
Now thats a good framerate
If anyone on Xbox still has offset aiming PDA issue. I’ve found untracking quests, making a new save and loading fixes it
THE NEW MODS ARE SO FIRE
LESSSTTT GOOO I CAN CANT AIM WITH ANY GUN NOW
THESE MODS ARE SO FREAKING FIRE
IRON SIGHT SVD IS MY DREAM OXA MY LIFE GOES OUT TO YOU
Im getting stalker 2 today
Nice
Feels like Christmas fr
Good hunting stalker
Thank you
You can compare the fully upgraded SSP-100I Survey, that has 8kg more
carry capacity, than the SSP-100M, which has much better Psi protection,
slightly better anomaly protection but not as good physical protection.
Plus the SSP-100M SIRCAA weighs 7kg, which means the SSP-100I only carries 5 kg more.
does anyone have any info on what exactly they plan to do with stamina as outlined in the roadmap? cuz all I know is the current system stinks. 😕
I spend 80% of my gameplay out of stamina lol
Start buying energy drinks from everyone you can talk to.
That's what you have to do starting out in the hobo phase.
oh i have pleny of drinks thats not the problem. i just think its silly i have to constantly chug them everywhere i go lol.
You can't be Superman on day 1.
are you saying stamina problems go away in late game?
Are you new to the Stalker games?
You find artifacts to help you carry more weight.
You find artifacts to help you with your stamina.
You upgrade armors to help you carry more weight.
i know i have weight artifacts. but im constantly overweight because i loot everything lol. 😉
Yes, when you loot, you will be overburdened. The idea is not to max it out so you can't move.
You need to keep your carrying capacity in the green range to run. In the yellow range to loot.
If you get in the red range, you really need stamina artifacts to help you when carrying loot.
Ya heard
the hercules pills are my savior lol
I mean to me the problem is that you don't like the fact that there's stamina at all in the game
Gen. Voronin and Myklyka are in a relationship
i wish i could buy more of them but i almost never see anyone selling them
Sadly they are very rare. Constantly check with all the Medics to buy more.
Therefore the best solution would be to just mod it to have infinite stamina
Rare?
i did honestly consider that lol
Sir I got so much Hercules in my stash, I could sell it for a profit of 100000 coupons
where did you find them, just as loot?
Also from medics
But mostly loot
Also, does anyone here actually use Vinca?
nah i never do
It's just a different way to play your game and it's totally legit, but like, if you just want to grab everything and also be able to sprint everywhere, I don't think there's a rebalance you'd like short of making stamina/weight penalties go away
What the actually lobster chowder FCK?!?
WHO THE HELL NAMED ME PRIEST OF MONOPISS!!!
@ebon blade
HELP IM BEING ABUSED
I should use it more tbh, every time I get hit it's a coin toss to start leaking like a sieve
problem with vinca is that it seems good to use in battle. but once im in battle its kinda too late. unless i bind it to quick use.
Yeah but AI have way too many bandages so
The little dog just cheats through everything.
TEJAS PLEASE HELP MEEE
Yeah yeah that's the rub absolutely
I DONT WANNA WORSHIP PISS
if we had like 2 more quick slots that would make using things like vinca a lot easier
@weary hedge

I need you pookie 😩
What name do you want?
Ive got 137 bandages in my stash lmao
Im gonna go in and sell every gun, artifact, and medication i dont use and dump all the profit into the cuirass exo
That's a bad Exo. No sprint.
Better to buy an SSP-100 series.
Have you tried weird water artifact?
Awww damn is it?
That's not early game.
Its the only exo ive got so i guess ill just stick with SEVA-D
SEVA-V is better.
I don’t have that 😐
Gotta see if i can find it, i dont have access to pripyat or jupiter yet
Or sircaa
Rostok
It’s free and easy to get if you truly need it
Tho it’s all the way out in zaton territory
Ok I’ll look it up thx
Thanks for the reminder. I actually still need to see how to optimize the Seva-I
SEVA-I is Duga. Supposed to be better but I don't have it yet.
Currently rocking the D. It has some nice upgrades like more backpack storage and lighter weight but doesn’t hold up well compared to the V
Also sprint regeneration
Yeah, I remember you also get it from spark if you side with them
Also free SEVA-I is in Yantar. I need to go there next.
I think the SEVA-V has one more protected artifact slot than the SEVA-D.
Makes sense. So just like the recruit suit and PSZ. Stick with duty if you want to take the combat route.
Yeah true, those artifacts could completely nullify the duty variant if you’ve got the right ones
This is 100% correct, it does.
Weird Water mentioned
Love of my life
Not sure if you mean Weird Water in game, or Weird Water at home.
woo i find the weird water 😉
both probably
Go vodka go
into the CNPP we shall go



Me fr
The High Priest was at the Seaport in Call of Pripyat.
He led the Monolith against Degtyaryov & Strelok.
Monolith bless you for this title
When you loot a Zombie right outside Rostok, and see what they were armed with.
Anyone knows how the console controls for the radio with the lootable zone mod?
where is that?
Tucked away in a dugout bunker northeast of the sultansk
Anything special about the stash with the heart?
Just a fresh ak & pso scope.
But that heart is the exact same one that scar drew with ward blood in that one cutscene in garbage
How do you like Zaton? Most people really complain about it.
I can see why tbh. There’s not much loot to be found other than ur typical early game gear, weird water and the sofmod a-lot of people like to go for. Plus ur having to run around a lot.
But I like the scenery of it, the hub and the handful of side quests you can find.
really hated having to run around Zaton, there's nothing much to do
huh?
I mean by the end game, I already have much of it looted, except for that heart chest
gotta check that
that actually looks fire
Reason: Bad word usage
ok
Me 90% of my runs, debating on if just one more medkit will fit
Why u swear

I wonder if the Chornobyl Red Mercedes is somewhere in the Zone
Long, long before my time. But interesting vibes😂
That is a shockingly accurate gif
But I do legitimately wonder where the turbine engineers truck went. It went from infront of the power plant to just gone
Did you look for it in the Yantar vehicle graveyard?
Yep, not there, nor was it IRL.

Also have this one. But yeah, guess it was probably stripped for noncontamined parts and buried from both Dark5 and further research on Popov's funeral.
No matter how well you think you know a story, there’s always more details to discover. Like trying to map out a coast line, the real devil is in the details. So when YouTube creator That Chernobyl Guy came out with a video about a red Mercedes-Benz truck at the heart of the 1986 disaster, I knew I had to share it with you.
If we do get CNPP access in a DLC, could have it half buried somewhere Skif could find
I was just walking trough Duty post on Garbage, some bandit started shooting at them, Duty wounded him from the distance, walked up to him and executed him on the spot
Duty really doesnt mess around
Now that's a real death truck.
That Chernobyl Guy does point out a theory a writer did about the Truck being taken by the KGB for its western computers then buried. But besides the claw, I'd love more secrets in the DLCs for us to find regardless

Hi, What do I need to do to install mods from Steam workshop? Just subscribe to them? Or is there somethings else that needs to be done manually? I cannot find any menu to manage mods in STALKER 2 main menu...
