no inspect, how are Youtubers supposed to make thumbnails now?
I'm in some sort of old garage or maintenance bay, and there's these areas you could crawl into if you could get low enough.
Youre laughing? Youtubers are starving and youre laughing??
No binoculars????? Hello?????
Well, of course, but they're adding those. Definitely should have been there from the start.
Didn't you used to be on here under a different name?
OGSR Hater? OGSR Lover?
Gunslinger Hater?
Ah no, I am thinking of someone else, apologies
70, in S2?!
Anyone can confirm?
Bruh, if that is so, its like cutting a 3 hr movie into 3 minutes

use your eyes buddy
its also cause stalker 2 doesnt render any characters that far
itll be added soon tho
i dont have minecraft zoom vision
you dont need to zoom at all
I mean to be fair without a mod sometimes it's hard to tell who's from which faction
...unless enemies show as pips on the compass, which I can't remember if they do out of combat.
im saying i cant see stuff super far away with eyes alone
Scrambled eggs is just fried chicken.
Happy Halloween
in the other games you have binoculars to see far away things
Why need binoculars when rifle scope?
what is this level of cope "you dont need binos"
true..
You don’t need Binos.
Point your rifle at it, and look through a scope.
It’s the same thing, but with just one eye ball.
All that extra weight, and button pressing.
Craziness.
and what do you say to a man with no rifle scope?
You would be. Cause I can see you, and you’re crying about binos.
Duh.
rifle scope, and ngl not having binoculars is kinda fun, also if they do add binoculars i wish they would add like an upgrade to have a range finder, or a range finder item like in tarkov
no no you cant pivot from making me "git gud" to being all joeks and laughs
Have you ever actually like… Used an ACOG? They’re wonderful and reliable optics.
There's a lot of things in video games we don't "need" to do, but want to do. It adds to the immersion. I don't need an inspect button to look at my weapon, but I want to, because I would if I were n the zone. I don't "need" binoculars, but I want to be able to see threats far away. Saying "you don't need to zoom at all" is so silly.
Yeah I can.
Wanna see me do it, again?
this guy never shot with irons in basic
binoculars are coming in short order. We haven't been told when, but it is possible they were a part of 1.6 and had to be cut out
dont EVER bring up tarkov
Did both, babe.
You just wanna carry extra shit for “mah realizzum”
I'm saying "it's possible" because a source did confirm it but that source also has a history of being a bit unreliable so ynow
the immersion in this game is already somewhat cooked
"extra shit" like binos arent 5 pounds and almost always have a strap
the flashbang anomaly for examplw
Stalker was never an immersive shooter.
Lol, no it's not.
It’s a story driven action shooter.
excuse me?
What in the ever loving heck are you talking about
Please tell me I’m wrong.
WHYY ITS SO FIRE if you actually play the game when a new wipe happens, or you just dont care about anything
why are you arguing over something that neither of you has control over.
Far Cry is a story driven action shooter. Any game that lets you sit around a fire listening to guitar is an immersive shooter.
i hate that game, i hate nbikita i hhate arena i hate grinding arena i hate labs i hate reserve i hate everything in the game besides hunting goons
also something that will most probably be implemented in the game at some point regardless of who "wins" this "argument"
Still not an “immersive” shooter.
It’s Doom with more foliage, and Ready or Not AI
"wins" "argument" this guy said stalker is a story driven action shooter there is no more argument
If STALKER 2 is this bad atm gameplay wise, ST3 will be Pre-Alpha Early Access
It wasn’t meant to be a realistic game.
You're a troll, holy heck.
I mean "story driven action shooter" doesn't specifically imply something being realistic or not
Go away
because binos were in the other games and 2 really really lacked any kind of feeling of being alive at launch which is why i dropped it
Nah, dude. Yall are literally crying about “realizzum” that was never meant to be here.
Go play “Tarkov” or whatever.
Stalker ain’t it.
that's fine, again, they're probably going to be implemented in the game in the nearish future regardless.
Stalker ain’t meant to be realistic.
Everything else is just tears.
Fun fact: This game was meant to work. Although the devs care more about sponsorship money developing console versions so they're rushing to release that first before migrating to a new engine version.
insta kill flashbang anomaly, the still awkward stealth, the flashlight that literally illuminates pretty much nothing useful (skif wouldnt bring a finger light), the game breaking bugs, and way more. this game is actually like so freaking fire but rn theres still so many things that just instantly break immersion. i dont want to have to rely on mods either
I am going to block you now, just want you to know, your trolling is weak sauce. You can do better.
WASSUP KREZZO
and good on them for adding it, its not gonna change the sour taste in my mouth that was launch (outside of the bugs and stuff, im used to it) but im glad gsc are adding them,
Block me, then, wimpy mcsofterson
i think its in poor taste not to be included on launch but i can always play the other games
I don’t care that your denial drives you away.
Disagreeing with me doesn’t make me any less right.
MWAHAHAHAHAHA
Let them dream

its just the average “i refuse to listen to others opinions so im gunna block them cause they dont agree with me” instead of “you dont agree with me but ill compromise your opinion”
They hated me because I spoke the truth.
(he sounds very very drunk)
I am now going to block you as well. All trolls will be blocked lol
Stalker was never meant to be that kind of game.
(just a heads up)
Me? No. I just woke up, and found nice buttons to press
very drunk but typing perfect english
ON THESE UNSUSPECTING FOLKS
I can do that and it's not even my first language
and you can add proper punctuation i assume?
I'd even go as far as saying I probably do less typos when I'm drunk lol
WHO NAMED HIM THE BLOCKINATER 😭
But mah realizzum!
drinks vodka to cure radiation poisoning
Make it make sense.
A suiting name for a fine gentleman
I would have really liked if S2 released in Early access
thas funny
assuming s2 isnt already in a early access
you should try eft its like a better version and in early access
The game isn’t even finished, yet
WHO ARE THESE TOURISTS?!
1.0 released i dont think its in beta anymore
thats my point, all this updates feel like they should have been there in the first place
fake tarkov fan its out november 15th
ohhhh 15th damn
dont even play your own damn game
I HAD TO SEARCH IT UP BUDDY CHILL
dttm about eft ive had enough of this
I want to add my screenshots. 🙁
if stalker 2 hadn't released when it did, it probably wouldn't have released at all. The fact that it launched in early access or not wouldn't have made a difference to how it came out or where it would be now.
unless youre gonna farm kollontay guards for ragman dttmea
maybe people wouldnt have been pissed off so much?
if it was free fs lol
I don't think that would have made a difference tbh
i dont wanna see 2.0 being what actually should have been 1.0 at release
But it will.
then... don't look I guess? lol
I LOVE NEW FANS, They me remind of me.
I dunno what to tell you, you're arguing hypotheticals that can't happen because they didn't at that time and can't happen now due to how time works
acog in stalker game
Yeah. It exists.
Lock in twin
shit was so hilarious im hopping off eft
Glad I could help.
It’s about as hilarious as that “immersive shooter” joke from earlier.
please never speak again❤️
all we can do now is just accept the fact that stalker 2 released in an unfinished state due to a multitude of reasons, that if it hadn't it probably would have been cancelled, and that it will get better as time goes on
Question to OGs: How long it took for SoC to be brought into shape since release? @meager crag Aware?
engine update relatively soon, sdk not long afterwards hopefully, rest to follow
someone doesn’t understand what kind of game they’re playing
not much 😉
6 m? 12? 24?
It’s still not in shape wym

I love people complaining about western gear in the Zone when it’s been a thing since SoC
Just a bunch of cosplayers chasing aesthetics.
“But only AK cause dk sucking noises”
Stalker is supposed to be janky Mr Kruzz
EUROJANK
See: Elex, and Starship Troopers
jank = unplayable at release?
Hell, people want the LR-300 brought back right?
It’s an American gun
Unplayable at release?
Suuuuure.
If you have a PC
I made it all the way through Swamps on release.
Aint no way my Series S chugs this game better than anyone else’s rig.
what is this supposed to mean?

What I do wonder about are those people who preorder the game, while being fans of the original
Like, this has happened before with the same games that you love, what made you think it wouldn't again
it's not really their fault, because they are passionate, but like, come on
BUT MAH REALIZZUM
As every single gun and suit is considered “Tiered” loot.
preordering digital games is something that still boggles my mind to this day
All I see is "blocked message, blocked message" lol. I love it.
ALL the promises like alife 2.0 hurts me the most, the ai of 18 years old game is better...
like, it made sense when it was physical releases. Kinda sorta.
You guys paid for Stalker?
laughs in gamepass*
PLEBS
then again, you had the history of the company
I’ve preordered like, 3 games in the last couple years
Diablo 4 is the only one I truly regret 
I am not 'hating' S2 but damn what a let down, when i look whats missng
Are we talking the background simulation or the NPC AI? Because I can agree on the former, but not on the latter.
Diablo 4 really did disappoint, at release.
Hell. I just beat the current season, and I’m still disappointed.
But at least that game is a full release.
yeah see, people just throw words around bundling an astounding amount of things that don't really apply to the case being made
“Immersive shooter”
HAHAHAHA!
the AI on the original games was already kinda janky at the time
I am just shizophrenic so no problemo
Correct me if I'm wrong, but A-life in the old games wasn't present on release, no? It was built up over time, over updates?
a-life is different, and again when people talk a-life they're bundling a whole lot of aspects to a fairly complex system that don't really compare, but I would say in general, a-life in 1 was certainly better showcased than in 2.
bro doesn’t realize the older games didnt even have updates, they just released
uh, no? it was present on release
Sometimes i just think, i am glad the game even released, when looking back at all the 💩 the devs, etc. had to go trough, some of them still have to go through, but when I go into detail, damn half of the game is missing
lmao fr
Bro thinks S2 is “realistic”
also, thats incorrect too, they did have updates, thats why it's version 1.0006 for soc
There’s no hope for these kids, today.
ohhhhh well then ballright
WHERE HAS ALL THE MEDIA LITERACY GONE?!
what's the first version?
.00006… why so many zeros..
Depends. If you consider it to be a fairly straightforward story driven first person shooter in a semi open world a la far cry, I'd say it's pretty well realized.
in fact, CS on release was absolutely horrible. The state that it in now its an updated one
I’ll reiterate
Realism can be fun but after a certain point it becomes overly tedious dogshit
if you consider it to be some kind of sandbox open world then you could consider there's much more missing I guess
u breaking ma hart m8
uh, yes 
but there are older ones, like the popular 1.004 and others, that are only used by tryhards who love the series or those who chose that version for their mod
Stalker is about as realistic as a Far Cry game.
which: (hint) aren’t realistic
REAL, THIS,
Realism isn't boring tasks, realism is a gamer synonym of immersion
i genuinely thought tho that the older first released games didnt have updates cause of the device they were on and the time period 😭😭
Skif is a literal one man army.
How realistic..?
Why? SoC was a fairly linear-ish story driven first person shooter, you didn't even have nearly as much freedom as you have in 2 to move around.
I mean, they were on steam at release, Im pretty sure. Even Half Life 2 had updates, and that was 2004. SoC released on 2007
cant a game just be fun, not everything has to be 'realistic'
i play on veteran with armor that sucks but looks cool so i can be killed more easily cause bullets are bullets
SO REALISTIC!
But for real, “drip or drown” is the phrase, yes?
i also dont use artifacts on my veteran play throughs
Better Ballstics + NPC overhaul + Shays Gold Zone = Anarchy
also, well, the game isnt realistic just by the premise, it's a supernatural zone with a chimera, not very realistic perse
my silly ones sure but veteran one nah
but of course, play how you like. In the end, you've bought the game, so do how you want
Fun fact: STALKER needs EA to finish it off.
Mwhehe, i made a perma death challenge with a ton of mods and it does its job, I've died tens of times(and so making new playthroughs) but my current playthrough is neat, i luv the anxiety mwheehe
i cant describe it, maybe there is some nostalgia, but it truly felt unique back then...
it's nostalgia
First Person Shooter does not automatically mean “immersive”
if you played it at release and you think it was in a better technical state than 2 is now, it's nostalgia.
Fun fact: STALKER should have released in Early Access, here fixed it for u
hell, let's give it a year post release head start
they should give the whole game to me
i did that on one of mine but i went from the clear sky base to the ferris wheel in pripyat, i did this in my first play through save after i finished all the missions before down below because there was ALOT i failed to find
Its already in Middle Access.
they should put ME IN THE GAME
stalker 2 is somewhat of an early access, imo the game rn is in a beta state, there's tons of cut content still
actually didn't know that, but it does look like at least they released on steam around september 08-ish
well, yeah, of course you are nostalgic lol
SO REALISTIC!
opening cutscene is two men driving through an Emission
Fun fact: STALKER 2 made us fall into the pre-order trap
Your self awareness must be screaming, right now
you are getting in with the mexicans update after the Saudi Arabia dlc
dam, that's a good objective to have in mind, well in my challenge when you start there is no need to complete the main story or anything, no prologue, no intro, you start the challenge heh
all the map for your self
krezzin im this close to sticking pointed sticks into your ears
it was outside the exclusion walls, so cope tells me they were outside the zone and only entered as soon as it ended
I still believe tearing the story out of any stalker game is a waste 
they're like kisses for your inner ear 🥰
yess and i went very linear so theres still half the side quests available and the best part is is that i can just load save before i even started the challenge
Fun fact: STALKER 2 almost made us cum but then Microsoft and Sony entered the room and cockblocked us.
then restart
As Herman shoves a cooked crow off where Skif was just sleeping. “Fk off” were the words?
Yeah. “Fk off” with that realistic immersive shooter crap.
If you know, you know
fun fact: krezzin has a thing for stinky people with unkept greasy hair
i believe emissions dont exactly do much outside of the zone perimeter, especially because of that big fat wall
Is that god in the background?
Why are you being assaulted by the full power of the Sun
that's neat and very modular on saves to be able to choose before and after challenge 
im 10h in my challenge and without picking any static loot i bought the Basic Exoskeleton and have a silenced saiga 
i wish more buildings where explorable
Birds. Cooked birds.
Literally fell on top of Skif and Hermann.
i see you might use oxa..
i dunno thats what im guessing
THE WHOLE GAME STARTED BECAUSE THE ZONE REACHED ALL THE WAY OUT TO SKIF’S APARTMENT
oxa is the only mod ive seen to have a saiga suppressor
"6 blocked messages" they just yap, huh?
uhgghhh i don't care when are we getting the middle east dlc
the alpha artifact did
Suppressor, collimator sight and im gonna buy the drum mag soon, while my ak has a laser-2 attachment, a holo scope and uhh that's it
the blockinator has claimed another
it flew all rhe way over there, kinda like the comets you see during nighttime
yeye, you are so cool, we got you
Zone things work outside the zone.
Or mainland wouldn’t be hunting for artifacts.
I've only blocked 2 people, but the blocked messages are accounting for half the messages on my screen.
actually artifacts die out outside of the zone
the alpha just didnt cause story lore bull
Over time, not god damn instantly
yep
well dur but still
Daaaang.
they dont like live forever
Artifacts?
how many souls have you claimed, Blockinator
Only!
OnlyArtifacts
True facts!
i wonder how many people bought a artifact outside the zone only for it to die out before shipping
OnlyMonoliths
Honse
Plasma Artifact desecration doesn’t match that.
Mama’s Beads, either.
Both work.
And both are highly sought after on Main Land.
A-Life 2.0 is a dream for now, we should wait like a year or two year more, HoC needs that Faction Wars.
Mama's Breasts?
Defense contractors hunt plasma.
Bougie turds hand mamas beads like wall art.
MAH REALISTIC GAME
The concept of zombies, and how to kill them, makes no real sense.
Matter of fact, FW will never be brought back just cuz its far too complex for developers of today
ehh they could still probably die out after a while but not as short as something like a.. moonlight..
its not fully explained tho
we can atleast dream about it
which sucks
Tec opened that last jar of breast milk
“WE’RE GOING TO CHAD!”
Dimitry is still alive, he just need optimisation of everything
Oh wait. That’s Africa.
I’m literally Pauley Shore for Halloween.

Lmao

Poor Tampico.
He just Tampicant handle this.
Kruzzy like the mama breasts 
Tampicover for you bub
😭
Oh my mama's beeds... soft n smooth
so, krezzin is addicted to porn
That brotha starving
MOTORBOAT DLC WHEN
true
So Tampicant is a prude.

I try.
Can we atlaest all agree that S2 gets frequent updates, even if they are gud or not, unlike 'a little company called bethesda' not updating their little game called starfiled.
I guess Wolf doesn’t like Snorks.
Makes sense.
i wanna see if i can get reyka, its allegedly a unique toz thats apparently unobtainable now
No, I want my money back
“It ain’t much, but it’s for me Emprah”

Praise me Emprah
ofc im not gunna buy anything from the bartenders tho
yes, tho, without these updates GSC will die once more.
just write steam support or who ever and make a store why u have 80 hours ingame and u still want refund, maybe sent them pdf with all thats bothering u
GSC will be finished off before S3 anyway, its about time for them to sell out
Is that the correct name?
Personally i believe that GSC will die after of HoC if they don't make a new IP or a sequel of other sagas made by GSC.
They wont
They havent done in 2 decades
SoC remake 😉
+- HoC is that (no bait)
Oh so SoC Defective Edition 2 -Rehashed?
Nah there was apparently a huge event with how people went into disturbing detail on how they wanted to diddle them or something
and once i read that HoC started as a "SoC Remake", idea by maria grigorovich.
I uhhh… Vaguely remember such things.
nah 💀
yea its on the wiki
You got a source for that or is this a ‘trust me’ thing
under unique weapons
I think that vestnik talked about that, on the evil BK + other thingis "found" by his team.
Who in the Christ juggling thunder shit is vestnik
some briish guy, i guess
i want the corps armor
I just want Harpy to love me
Someone who's known to nick vests from people
Bro
a page that is mainly about show buildo thingis of S.T.A.L.K.E.R, "nick frost" is the owner.
@ebon blade DUDE THE BARTENDER ALL ITEMS ALSO HAS THE OXA MOD THINGS HOLY, i wonder if it has ult edition items to people who dont have it, i have ult edition stuff so i cant check BUT WOOHOO I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS A WEAPON FLASHLIGHT
L O N E L Y
Biiiig difference.
Once can desire love without sex.
So… Everyone fauning over Deggy, and Richter?
You mean in the game?
They're indeed all cringe as hell, yeah 
yea
Cringe is just passion you’re too afraid to embrace.
whoever wrote scar 2.0 pls read a book
ENJOY A LIFE WITHOUT LOVE
Stolkr
That's... That only makes you look worse bro 
I need your pda for information
If they made a unique variant of the TOZ that did max amount of damage I would only use that gun
It’s a fun slugger early to mid game otherwise
wait theres some pistols i didnt even know existed like labrinth iv in the all items bartender mod
DUTY IS A MEME
Buncha damn Ward-Bait
Apparently it's not in the game.
i wonder which was the GENIUS that writted Scar on HoC
You what
I damn sure didn’t stutter.
That’s what.
And Scar2 is a self insert of the writter if him was on the zone
WHATTT maybe ill find it with this all items mod, it has a unique pistol that cant be obtained and isnt in the wiki it also looks different than the normal ptm and it has a special description, i think its the pistol used by solder or smth im not sure
What if the real Scar 2.0 was the friends we made along the way?
Someone mistaking Scar as a stone cold, dead serious professional again? 
What...
YEAAA REYKA IS IN THE MOD
yeah, loved it... said no one ever
Holy shit its duty enforcer
In that case, call me no one ever 
Yeah silly little man thinks scar is some chad
dont wanna spoil, u know there is a lore reason but damn i could have been written better
Reason: Bad word usage
yesking
wait what? I can no LONGER SWEAR?
Yes, i know the specific reason of why Scar2 is Scar2 but is... 
You never could, really
But i did
That shit is false.
!mute @meager crag reason:swearing

Uuuuuuh, mod aboose
But im not mod...
Uuuuuuh, user aboose
What the shit

What the poopy?!
What the Dooty?
me when oxa makes the cluster fuhh look like a g28
Duty? More liek d00dy
He called his shit poop!
-Billy Madison
Everytime I see someone brag they could write scar better I laugh I won’t lie
Is he an incredibly written character? Hell no, but some people just want to write him as like, Voronin or some shit 
Good ol Duty.
How far the almost mighty have fallen.
favorite free play mods?
Clear Sky
Anomaly with Old World addon
And maybe CoTZ with cool fixes (addons)
Popeyes and crack
Anomaly is the best Stalker game to be released.
Second only to Gamma.
anomaly seems to be popular but very hated here…
Cotz its really good tbh, the side quests makenit feel much more alive and less repetitive
The glazing of anomaly is the thing thats hated. Not anomaly itself
Living in the streets of Florida
That is master mode right there
It’s not actually a Stalker game
Neither is Gamma.
yeah, grinding hours for a functioning weapon and than do grind mmo fetch quests
fighting off the fent zombies
This meme explains the hate 
what a thrill
I was being facetious.
Making fun of those who actually feel that way.
Breaking into Keltec to get a gun for a crackhead two blocks away 
Almost on round 30
stalker puritanism my beloved
Still haven’t pack a punched a weapon
i feel like gamma is virtually better imo

Idk man duty is kinda mid
what is ur sexual orentation?
Duty is a meme.
bro
I beg your finest pardon
why would you ask that here
AND I THOUGHT I SAID SOME WEIRD SHIT
'i feel like gamma is virtually better imo'
Curiosity killed the cat
ohhhh
Trying to flush out a mutant
It's more so that people start mixing up the lore and see Anomaly as an actual STALKER game 
Because in stalker lore mutants have no sexual orientation
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS
but isnt clear sky alive, in anomly they are?????
Anomaly is a screw around time killer
The Trilogy is for experiencing the actual story
I have a sneaking feeling HoC is where New GSC wants to kick off their own trilogy
' New GSC wants to kick off their own trilogy' I beg your finest pardon
Stalker 2 is fantastic rn my only complaint is strelok's hairline not being far enough back
Or when CoC players think Clear Sky are Duty but Scientists when in the Trilogy, they actually want to coexist with the Zone
GSC did not make it to the big leagues!!!!!!! shouldn’t act like it…😡
You have eyes, you read that right
“Strelok, smash Strelok’s nuts.”
-Strelok
Chat whos gonna kill Strelok?
Separating mods from the actual source material should be a basic skill

Which, unfortunately, isn't the case most of the time 
Ultimate edition?
SSP-100M SIRCAA
ub uh i am a biological female/dishwasher and uh that might be why i say that
Asking abt the armor
Yes, the older janitors got Ultimate Edition for free
i still wonder about that labyrinth iv ptm tho
I sexually identify as an attack helicopter 
Rotosexual
That is the armor SSP-100M SIRCAA in the Ultimate edition.
NO
Any other weapons you know about, that are not in the game?
Gotta get you some Halloween pop punk.
“He’s Dead Because Mommy Killed Him”, by For All Those Sleeping. (Freddy Krueger song)
Or, get a Night Of The Living Dead song..
“Respect For The Dead”, by Beneath The Sky
where can i change keybinds?
because when i press x to lean it also switches the weapon LOL
default settings
Yeah, changing keybinds is bs
Game basically forces you to use the standard keybinds
HoC wack fr dawg
i cant even play properly because of that
when i try to left lean it switches the weapon
this is crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
TrilOG my beloved 
i wanted to give this a try so bad
nah, i know that the shield of duty exo is possibly only obtainable from a npc looting a duty soldier that has it but thats all ik
i bought it a year ago ultimate edition, because i loved the games before so much
same as the merc exp
I got it for free and was still disappointed 
Im sure there is a mod that lets you change them
brother, this should not be the answer 😭
I know, but it is
if you want a game that lets you change keybinds easily, play the trilogy, again
Gif perms are hard to get.
The Merc what?
I gotta grind to level 50.
I only just hit 44.
But yeah. Offtopic is a good place to start.
Try and get on my level... Literally 
I.. I’d rather not.
i posted a video of this INSANE oversight or what ever that is
im actually getting more and more mad xd
So don't play it 
What am I looking at?
A PNG with audio
me trying to lean but it also switches the weapon
All I hear is noise with no visual movement.
PNG with audio
really? it plays fine for me
it plays fine by me too
Sometimes that happens for me, when some, not all, people post a video.
Is that a thing?
Nah
I didn’t think so.
You guys are as gods, in here.
We ain't no GSC
PC or Xbox?
yurrr theres also a merc one that npcs can loot, it has amazing stats but its unupgradeable, looks like the normal loner exo, its labeled like a non localized mod item
PC
i bet you arent that cute
Bet?
bet
Okay, in what form do you want proof?
👀

Feet guys are a special breed.
I don't see it. Just the regular Merc suit, the Light Merc suit and the Brummbar Exo for Mercs.
Cries in agony
That’s an NPC only suit, it’s a bug
Wolfhound too
yessss
Yep. Thanks.
well yea larrrhhhgg
i sent you a image in dms about it
It's not right, the Wolfhound has zero psi protection.
the most useless stat in the game
If we get another armor rebalance like the Operator Exo got, give the Army suits (wolfhound and duty) at least a bar of psi
Though this is also true, especially now that psi block isn’t a limited resource
Yep, the stash rework lets you find em in stashes and I saw a medic selling Hercules at one point
Well shit.
The Medics have always sold Hercules, somewhat rarely RNG type of thing.
I thought they sold Vinca, too.
I've only seen Hercules.
Fair enough.
I never carry Hercules, and by the time I think of using Vinca, I’m already applying a bandage.
Pointless Meds, in my opinion.
But hey. They’re Koupons, at this point.
The Psi medication is valuable.
I always try to have Psi-Block.
Since apparently my Falcon doesn’t protect me from shit.
Why don't you get the Spark SSP-100I Survey? Best Spark suit.
I just never knew it was no longer a finite thing.
I always thought I could only ever find so many.
Who sells it?
I like Spark suits. They always seem like the higher end versions of everything else.
Bet.
But them SSPs are costly to upgrade. And I bet half that shit is locked behind Pripyat.
I just got the free Spark SEVA-I a day or two ago.
Isn’t that somewhere in Yantar? Or Duga?
One of the SEVAs I was recommended is there somewhere.
It's better than the Wolfhound.
Spark is Baby Puke Green, in my opinion.
Yanter
i dont like bright colors
Same.
why i also wish we had the ssp 99m
its a green military version of the ssp 99 orange soda lookin ahh ecol suit
if you didnt know
npcs have it tho
i misspelled it but yea, i use stickers btw cause i cant send images
Peasant
im not a mod buddy
Then be one
Wolf promote this peanut
why am iiii a peanut
yo i just raided a bandit base, they didn't expect a stalker to come with an Exo and saiga heh, with their loot i bought the drum mag
you should give me a peanut role fr fr

MOPP gear suuuucks.
Or have both
I mean. Some people have that.
You have a high level, and mod.
I bet Tejas does too
if ill keep playing im level 100 in a week
are there any new patches on the way? i didnt keep up with the game since launch
also multiplayer when?
I just hit 44 today. Close to 50
It’s only ever going to be PvP, but it’s a plan.
Multiplayer will come at some point but it's so far down the priority list it could take legitimately a year or more
im not too keen on it being released, but it sounded like it could be fun
It's gonna be some tdm side mode anyway
1.7 is in active testing as we speak
there are definetely more areas that need to be put time on
any more info on what that patch will do?
Big patch might be around the corner from what I've read

1.7 gives your mask windshield wipers.
There's heavy NDAs regarding test builds so I wouldn't expect getting anything remotely concrete from anyone
The SSP 100 suits seem to be the amped up versions of SEVAs.
The Spark one imo isn't the best, the white one is.
Leaking info honestly is a one way trip to getting booted entirely I imagine
Engine update may release within a couple months (not likely)
engine update is such a nothing burger most of the time
I heard the UE5.5.4 is Q4-25
That was the plan, at least.
There’s no legal paperwork from what I’ve heard but breaking that trust and it getting out can and will cast a shadow on you, especially if you’re a content creator
If it's anything like the ue update I've seen previously, there may be big performance gains to be had
Whole reputation tarnished
Not because 5.5 is particularly good, but because 5.1 is a dumpster fire
maybe they add that new voxel lod thing for trees, that looked nice in witcher 4
That’s 5.6 which molt said if it’s feasible they’ll try but I wouldn’t hold your breath
I'll be happy to get 60 steady fps honestly
oh well
Much like modding, the game is currently being brought up to the standards you would expect from a competently put together product
Which is to say, I don't think there's anything particularly fancy to look forward to, but that doesn't mean it's not cause for optimism
i have not finished it yet and have 30 hours, 25 of which where around release. the game has its moments which are really cool but there are so many immersion breaking things, buggy interaction and i just hate all the need for upscaling tech to have a "working" game
have you guys ever turned of dlss or tsr and saw how dependent this game is of blurring?
i think its totally backwards
even with all the upscaling you can still see the transparency dithering
its so gluteus maximus 😭
cheesing the AI just like in the game
eat that wolf
What video card do you have?

Just upgrade, bro.
The biggest misconception in Stalker is that somehow a suit providing psi rad protection = immune to psi rad.
Not it doesn't, it just takes longer for the negative effects to occurs, the higher the psi protection the longer it takes, apparently with armor/suit you can only get a maximum of a little bit higher than 3 bars.
Psylock do 2 thing :
1)remove negative psi rad effects you currently have
2)give you more protection against psi rad for a limited time
but remember staying in the psi rad zone or being attack by controllers and the effect of the pill slowly disintegrated, even fighting illusions make it worth, checking their "corpses" also give you the same effect.
Psi-Res is a joke, in general. Without Pills, your armor stats are just for show.
I did an experiment, and was affected the same way both times.
I went to Red Forest, to claim the Dnipro in that bunker with the Controller.
First time. I was wearing a PSZ-5V and a Tactical Helmet.
I popped the only Psi-Block I had, and cleared that bunker with an AK by the time the effects wore off, and the phantoms came out.
Went back, on another run.
This time, already wearing a Falcon.
Still had to use Psi-Block because armor actually doesn’t resist shit
i want oxa standard or prototype on console, core has like so much less but hey at least we got it
yeah the brunt forest can go somewhere else
i got the suit and thats all i care about
Which suit?
SSP-100m SIRCAA
Yantar science bunker is a never ending party with Shays living zone gold and I’m here for it 
I swear the only psi upgrade that works is plot locked to something you havent seen yet
||controller upgrade||
yeah thats exactly the spot
you know youre there when you have 2 feet of leg room and a firegiest just sitting ontop of you
Like I said, psi protection doesn't give you immunity to psi rad, not even pills do that, they just slow the effects, some areas just have way heavier psi radiation.
With no psi protection, the effects is immediately, with 1 bar, it take a little bit longer for illusions to appear and receiving damages.
Some areas like ||the cage|| is so bad, it basically a anomaly, none help.
Psi protection do help but limited.
Cement factory
The Cage is an anomaly
Fighting a controller with and without 2 bar of psi protection feel day and night different, because the moment you get close to them, the effects took effect take place immediately without any psi protection, he doesn't need to brain-mess you, just get close is enough.
Actually it makes you temporarily nearly immune. If you are undergoing effects and you pop a pill it will nullify the current status
Against a controller those pills will completely nullify his psi induction, until the effect of the pill wears off ofc
And if :
- You stay too long(than you need to) in heavy psi rad area
- Check illusions corpse
- Pickup illusion artifacts
- Being attack by controllers psi attack
The effects went up.

Way too frikkin much to display
@stiff tide ofcourse you can map your keys. go to controls
controls - keyboard settings. then hold R to reset settings
i swear im getting baited. i looked yesterday

waiting for shader compiling
he swaps weapons when he leans left
i had a problem where when i tried to lean it also switched the weapon
like two actions were bound on the same key. i never touched the keyboard settings
Keybinds then. Go reset the keyboard setting and that should be it.
Using any mod? Cuz it shouldn't be happening
i could not find them 😭
The key to switch weapon is Y
i then i got baited into believing there were no settings to change them
what do you think i told him to do...
Make sure your keyboard is not autopressing Y
Exactly that
what are the default lean keys?
But he seems to not find it
c and z I think?
aha
qwertz
A and E if it's azerty
this would be c and y for me
I could swear s2 used this weirdo system with the lean keys on the lower row but I wouldn't tell because I changed bindings the millisecond I started playing lol
q and e are the healing things for me
i never touched the keyboard settings
then maybe you should
Yeah he definitely should
under settings?
Go to options, control, and pick the keyboard setting and it will lead you to keybijds
lol
press Z quickly to lean left toggle. hold Z to lean left as a hold down lean button. its weird how gsc did their key mapping
at least they had the courtesy to include push, hold, or push/hold for just about every action
who me?
lets confirm. did you reset the controls and is it working as intended now?
no hahhahahaha. i reset the keyboard settings like you said
oh wait, it does
shoot me
can i shoot him?
might as well
thanks
friendly reminder to any pc users that there's a mod that lets you use 4 separate keys for consumables instead of the hold/press vanilla
orr it should at least, last update was before 1.6 and I can't see any posts stating whether it works now or not
What I want to see more are :
1)Story expansions.
2)More private boxes on the map(you know where they need to be).
3) More contents, especially mid to late games and areas that are empty, lacking.
4) Spark Exos.
5) Ward full body armor.
6) Redesign to the Operator Exoskeleton, give it the same design that Brummbar, Liberty, Cuirass, Diamond use.
7) Make Exosuits(not exoskeleton) and Cuirass exoskeleton actually viable, not some trash junk armor.
Me personaly would just like for there to be more smaller stalker settlements
Ik being alone in the zone is the whole vibe of stalker but like seeing other people is nice
i think the 'big' settlements arnt big enough, and are actually the small settlements lol
like rostok. honestly, i expected it to be bigger. its hardly a city of gambling. its just a minor trading post. but they all act like its a freaking city
another scammy boi?
@still current not exactly sure who to send this idea to, but why not set up an insta kick channel?
We are considering something similar yes
Can't say more since we are still thinking it through, but the idea is somewhat appealing and would probably come to pass in the right time.
the idea is simple. any non stupid human wouldnt click on it if the warning is clearly "dont post here or you get banned". and if they still do it, they would be too stupid for the community anyway
it kind of solves 2 problems in one
Yeah. 
Does indeed
Can't give you an exact answer, but just know that it's already being considered as a potential mean to block scambois
mhm
I wouldnt say that its a minor trading post, but ive never heard stalkers act like rostok as a city
is there any way to speed up compile shaders?
Is the gp37 drum mag available in the game or is it just in the files?
Get a better pc
Or outright skip it entirely, although not recommended to do
Im curious about this
set your shader cache to 10gb or more
the first shader compile is the really long one, but once you have done it the game only needs to faster compiles that are noticeably shorter
Huh, never throught of that
Yes, call 1-900-KWZN-247 then press 6 and 9 immediately
Anyone knows why infinite carry weight + stamina mod doesnt work?
Because GSC broke it or mod dev didnt update it to latest game ver?
Could be it works on my old save but not the new ones
what should i buy? (I despise static loot)

im honestly starting to think wish granter isnt really granting any wishes
Wish there was a radio option for this game. I walk into Rostok and sometimes hear a banger of a song. I would love to hear that while crawling through a dark sewer or in a scary lab
Way too hard to implement nowadays, eh

Gone are the days of "pick a song you want to listen" via ingame window
Whats kruzzing aroud, @meager crag?
Dunno, doesn't show up in the urban dictionary
He checks the dictionary, laugh at this nerd
but with different songs
if it was like in the trilogy, you would hear it over and over and over again
in the trilogy it was fine, but this game is long, doesn't go well with repetition
Laugh all you wish, girls dig this 
I thought stalker 2 new one had radio station?
So it don’t have one like fallout dose?
I mean it does have a radio, you just can't play it on your pda (in vanilla)
the loner when hes finally losing his delusions
too much cossack vodka
Assuming you stick to main and side quest and don't scavenging around the map hoarding late game guns, is this a good plan?
Pistol:Early stick to the Korra as soon as you get your hand on it,switch to a ABSP/Rhino when you have the chance.
Shotgun: don't use shotgun until you find a SPSA 14 or a Saiga(both you can find pretty soon actually)
AR: early game stick Valik AK then switch to Forra or GP37, mid game switch to 9x39 guns, late game to Dnipro/Kharod.
Sniper: early game just use Mosin then switch to Strider sniper for the whole game , use M701 for bosses.
Rocket and Gauss are for cheesing.
How is this plan sound?

fwiw I think the mag fed 870 is better bang for buck than saiga
the slow fire rate tends to get me killed
Once i read strelok didnt remember ANYTHING on who he was
the saiga can shoot bullets pretty much as fast as you pull the trigger so
so can the spas
Problems with M870
- It's not semi auto
- It's do significantly less damage
Only the fact he was strelok, but thats it
Not single clue about or his past life
i guess if you dont wanna have any fun in stalker 2
...it does?
There are a lot from what I have heard in this game. I sat and munched on some food while listening to the radio in the market at Rostok
Hoard all the guns, the monolit commands it
Just Main your favorite weapon and do the task while seeing as trip
I've never noticed that much of a damage difference, then again I've always played wiht ballistic overhauls so I guess
I want to,that why I'm thinking about using other guns other than Dnipro/Kharod for the whole game.
Also gm, praise the monolith
Ah so thats why
But yes, it would need a healthy playlist
You like an scar? G36?
Dont worry, Main them if You like then
But we all agree m4 is over rated
M4 is alright, g36 is better imo
imaginary rock worshipper
Nah, i mean m4 is over rated in media
20% plus damage (160) for a slow fire rate isnt worth it
HERETIC! but ye
dont hurt me
My fave shotgun is in fact the predator, if you time your reloads well you'll never be in that awkward situation where you have to reload while under attack
then again, I have never gone much further past sircaa so I'm sure there's better shotguns down the line
I've just never liked the saiga that much
Getting old is realize how pump shotguns are literally broken IRL
Its mainly bc the us still cant figure out a replacement for it, so its just accepted as permanent lol, tbh, it is overrated, but easier to maintain than an ak
when you use it youll probably like it.. if you haven’t used it
Imagine how easy would be clean CCNP with a lore accurate pump shotgun
I have used it, it costs a phuckload to upgrade, empties in no time, then you have to stand there and reload it like a goober. I've never liked it.
I mean with time it got kind of worst the design
Like a square with a bunch of sticks
I wish we had the mk12
I do prefer the 870 but I might like something later on like the saiga, idk, haven't reached that part yet
Yee, its bc nobody wanted to admit the m16 sucked
but for me the mag fed 870 you find in diode's is a great all rounder
Yes, but with the right attatchments... At least looked shock 🔥
It has like 60% armor penetration too(which can be further enhance) while the M870 only has 40%.
Sick*
Yee, the sopmod kit actually makes it useable
any one else find it jarring that CNPP isn't actually in the game still?
money is easily fixable by finding artifacts, in pripyat you can get a 20< rnd mag, so if you use them rip slug rounds you can take down mutants in seconds
Reason: Bad word usage
I thought it did
