[graceful dirge]

I would recommend asking that in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications to get most accurate answers for visual overalls that don't change the core experience of the game, which I would definitely advise for your first playthrough. Lots of players jump right into mods that change or add a ton of content to the vanilla games never touching their base form, and then play the sequel wondering why Stalker 2 doesn't have X or Y feature like the original games those mods do

(Not that it doesn't/can't look to them in some forms, but is naturally more inspired by the originals themselves)

[stuck seal]

@ebon blade I see what you mean now, I’ve been to the summer camp many times but I’ve never been able to fully enter the southern building

It’s a mess in there

[ebon blade]

I was surprised to find my personal box in there.
I was more surprised to return after getting the Tools.
I guess the pre-tools version is the new normal until the Tools.

[stuck seal]

Yeah things are clipping into each other and there’s a room full of items that you can’t reach

I wonder if this is an error, I mean it has to be

[ebon blade]

Most people might never see this, if they don't go to Kazkovy Camp until the game tells them to.

Now you see why I wanted you to go there, before you get the Tools on the boat and are directed there.

[stuck seal]

Um, there’s a psi emitter at the sunken barge that changes colors when I shoot it but doesn’t get destroyed like the rest of them, odd

[tender oyster]

Just dont go to kozkovyi camp until the quest tell you so. One of the quest can get bugged if you do

[main jewel]

mhm

i dunno why it doesnt explode

[ebon blade]

That was there before GSC added the ARG Banzai story line.
Originally I found it surrounded by a dozen Zombified Stalkers.
There was so much loot on them, I had to haul it back to the little
room under the bridge and then return to visit the Bloodsucker Village.

[ebon blade]

Which one gets bugged?

[tender oyster]

Once upon a time at kozkovyi

One of the objectives, eliminate the threat on kozkovyi building doesn't progress even after killing the rats and looted the dead bodies. Also, optional objective cant be completed because the bayun didn't spawn

[ebon blade]

It spawned for me, so saying don't go to Kazkovyi before being told so or the Bayun won't spawn, is not accurate

[feral horizon]

Just beat Banzai's story. Thank god they added a hub for burnt forest and the tool quests were a great throw back to CoP.

Though I don't think they explained where the zombie signal came from.

[wicked magnet]

How many hours did it take to complete side quests in S2 before patch 1.8?

@ebon blade

[tranquil mantle]

Does anyone know if it's possible to turn the white coloring on your screen for radiation off?

[tender oyster]

Did you go after or before the update? As for me, i cleared that place even before the update

[sacred cedar]

So Agatha has to come back in the dlcs right?

No way they made mocap for her and hired an actress and a va just for the 10 minutes we see her in the game

[ebon blade]

I went there before GSC added the new content.
I went there after GSC added the new content and before the boat & tools.
I went there after GSC added the new content and after the boat & tools.

[wicked magnet]

?

[tender oyster]

So, it doesn't bugged out for you. Some poeple, like me does. Even eliminate the threat doesnt progress after killing the rats and looted the dead bodies

[rare mica]

I haven’t played this game since about a month after release is it worth revisiting?

[ebon blade]

I haven't done them all yet, in order to answer that.

[cyan sparrow]

Definitely! 💯

[main jewel]

yes

[tranquil mantle]

You wouldn't definitely hope so, they set up a truly evil character just to do nothing with her

[vernal rampart]

Ok so i got the artefact from chem plant in “all tgats left” mission. But nothings happening now. If i go back to that guard no prompt to give him back comes but the dialogue for the job is there as it was initially

[tranquil mantle]

That job might be bugged as of the new update, mine disappeared right after I got the side mission

I had issues with that one and Lens' side mission in Zalisiya after 1.8

[vernal rampart]

So i just sold it for 2000k or something i think

[tranquil mantle]

Nice at least you still got coupons out of it

I'm on veteran rn and I'm scrounging for any and all coupons

[hardy totem]

Flossing chungus is hella cursed

[nocturne yew]

If they ever make stalker 3 project Y should be the canon ending of 2 and maybe the new MC is Richter

[hardy totem]

I doubt they'd make a character with such wide connections a protagonist. He's supposed to know everyone, unlike the player. Would result in very awkward interactions where richter would act like he knows someone where the player would not.

[charred nova]

Richter is just famous you’re just along for the ride

It’s like wow richter it’s really you I never thought I’d meet you man your so cool

It’s literally some random guy named John chungus

[sacred cedar]

John Stalker
"I came here to Kick ass and Chew Anti Rad, and i'm all out of Anti Rad"

[charred nova]

The game just treats richter like he’s Mario and expects you to get it

That’d be some great high concept design

[sand pond]

Just to be clear:

Good condition suits found on a pre-placed corpses (random, but already dead then you get to the POI) are a feature, a bug (maybe something connected to the NPC looting), or me not reading description of some of the mods well enough?

(Though the only mod that could possibly affect that is BNPL but I believe it only affects equipment, not drops)

[stable warren]

;-;

[sacred cedar]

Holy shit is this real?

[proven hollow]

i think it's a bug

but might also be a feature tbh

[sacred cedar]

I only have the Console, a modified config and achievment enabler mod and im finding hella suits

I have like 6 PSZ Hawks

[sand pond]

Alright, got it
Yea, I have 20 bandit jackets and 15 convoys in my stash

[proven hollow]

last time when npc's were dropping armor it was a bug with npc's looting dead bodies, making them loot the armor as well, this was fixed a while after

[sand pond]

One time found dead merc squad.
Got Brumbar and 3 Wolfhounds from that pack alone.

[proven hollow]

you could literally shoot a guy, wait for others to loot him, shoot the next guy, etc, get tons of armor that way

so i think that bug is simply back

[sand pond]

I thought that was fixed long ago...

[proven hollow]

it was, but i think something re-introduced it

do you guys ever get armor from people you shot yourself? or just from bodies you find already dead near a POI? Cause that would imply that bug

[sand pond]

Well, I don't mind it
I think possibility of looting armor from dead bodies is a good thing.
You might get to play in early to mid game with some stuff you would never bother actually buying.

[sand pond]

Yea, only already dead on POI.
Never from the guys I've shot myself.

Which is weird.

[proven hollow]

yeah, but it should just be a very rare chance in general, right now it does just seem like a bug to me, NPC's looting armor off dead bodies then getting killed themselves

[sacred cedar]

Ok i havent been that lucky

But i have a few debuts/sunrises/sevas/marauders

[sand pond]

Scripted killed, I must say.

Running around at NoClip 6000, literally seeing dead bodied popping from the thin air in front of me, and somehow they got armor on them.

[proven hollow]

they were killed in off-line, when you get closer they get into the online sphere

i'm like 95% sure it's a bug atm

[sand pond]

My best founds:

• Operator
• 2 "exoskeleton" exos
• 2 Brumbars

But... yea, also, quite a few Wolfhounds. Maybe 6 from the current playthrough?
3 of which in one pack tho.

Sevas? Maybe 4-5.
Sunrise? About 10.
Marauders? Don't count\collect, instant sell.

I only collect exos, sunrises, convoys and bandit jackets.

Haven't found a single monolith suit on a corpse though.

[sacred cedar]

i only just done siirca im saving all my suits for when i reach a higher rank to make more dosh

[sand pond]

Oh, alright.
I'm already behind the X17.

And yes, been collecting as well, but sold 1200kg worth of hoard after SIRCAA.
And then also 500-700kg a bit later when I was feeling I'm low on funds.

Increase with quest isn't much though.

55 coupons for an RGD-5 grenade from the start
57 coupons after SICRAA
59 coupons after X17

That's like... 4% increase per stage.

Will there be another price increase after entering Pripyat maybe?

I am wondering why don't we have lootable Spark exo.
It clearly exists in the game, but for some reason is NPC only.

[subtle dove]

What to do with all those PDAs i get in the game? Just put them in the stash?

[sacred cedar]

I think sell prices are based on player Rank

And you get Master rank after the Faust fight so thats the highest it will go

[subtle dove]

PDAs / tablets

[vernal lily]

You can sell them for extra money, don't think it matters what you do with them

[sand pond]

Whatever you want.

Hoard them (my personal preference)
Sell them (not for much tho)
Throw them away (also a choice you can make)
Even keep them in your inventory (but why)

[vernal lily]

You can also throw them all on the ground and see how much you have accumulated by the end of the game.

[white valley]

the game has crashed a lot for me as somebody who usually never gets crashes, is it the new update?

Hi guys, have a nice Sunday. I tried it and you can see the difference by adding an artifact, then you remove it and see how long it takes to regenerate, it takes much longer. However, I don't use it much, I use more artifacts that give me transportable weight.If it works, the Thunderberry artifact doesn't seem broken to me.

Nah to whoever said that bloodsuckers were not a bullet sponge... Yes they are (in master difficulty)

[proven hollow]

4-6 shells from a shotgun down them, even less if you headshot them

[brisk girder]

I can’t wait for multiplayer if it ever happens

[subtle dove]

Yeah 6 shells for bloodsuckers is bullet sponge for me.

They are fast, invisible, strong, they should not also be tanky imho

Or at least that's how they were in previous stalkers and in anomaly moddpack

[proven hollow]

time to kill is like half a second with a spaz or saiga, any less tanky and they'd die from a slight breeze tbh

[subtle dove]

Everything becomes trivial when you have nice weapons, this does not mean the enemy should be a bullet sponge when you just started playing, even more if it's one of the "first enemy" you encounter

[proven hollow]

why not? That's the progression scale, isn't it?

[subtle dove]

There are many kind of "progression" in games, that's a lazy one imo

[proven hollow]

you think enemies at the start being hard to beat with the same enemies later in the game being easier to deal with is lazy progression? That's the progression in 99% of games tbh

[subtle dove]

they are not hard to beat, you just need a lot of bullets, that's not more difficult

It's not like i'm having hard time beating them, i just need to waste more bullets, that's the problem and that's not a lot of fun

[proven hollow]

you don't need a lot of bullets, 4-6 shells, how is that a lot of bullets? Thats half a magazine

[subtle dove]

6 shells IF you manage to hit it every single time. But it's ok, i can see how this is not a problem for everyone, i'm used to play Anomaly so i'm coming from a different kind of play

[proven hollow]

if you can't hit the enemy it's going to be hard regardless of how tanky they are.... and bloodsuckers are really easy to hit since it's generally point blank, you don't even need to aim down sights

[subtle dove]

I guess you're more skilled than me then

So i started second playthrough (first was on release) and this game is still unplayable ... Still so many bugs in graphics ... but worst are story progression bugs. I need to kill Trapper because he was bugged and keep saying "later alright". And after that ... whole game is broken. I am on three captains side mission and Sultan and Beard just stand there after talk and nothing is happening. I think i am done with this game. No mods btw. And lighting in this game is forever broken. Sorry for little rant ... but this game needs more than 3 years of fixing not selling ultimate editions and DLC with new bugs.

[unreal gull]

and you can get it so early on, its busted

[brisk girder]

I’ll have to try to find one

I just got to garbage in this save

[unreal gull]

you can get it in garbage im pretty sure

[brisk girder]

I’ll look into it, thanks!

[oblique igloo]

past zalyssa or garbage you find some

[proven hollow]

Skif's pistol is best pistol cause i can't remove it from my inventory 😛

[brisk girder]

I really like stalker I am just not a single player guy, I find my self getting bored quickly even though I enjoy playing the game

[oblique igloo]

This is something I will never understand because you have to keep it in your inventory and you can't do cutscenes with the weapons you're currently holding.

[unreal gull]

i mean there are humans in game you can talk to

[vernal lily]

Like Wolf

[unreal gull]

bloodsucker is another one

he's especially friendly

[ancient fractal]

Why isn't there any multicam and fast helmets

Ts so not cag

[regal sinew]

You can find the Nightstalker which is a modified 1911 in Burnt Forest.

[cyan sparrow]

Extraordinary handgun

Strange, non-dramatic convos here

[regal sinew]

It's OP asf, just a shame it doesn't have any wear and tear upgrades to help with degradation more, its durability runs down pretty fast.

[cyan sparrow]

Oh yes, indeed. However i accept the price for such a peaky gun.

I hope they add more handguns in the future

and flashlight like in Craftable Mod

true stalker combo

Did you get the GP37V2?

[regal sinew]

I have not yet no, haven't even started the quest chain for it yet.

[sand pond]

Tushkan paws are kinda hard to get for the mutant part quest due to how rare they drop anything...

[cyan sparrow]

Very approved.

[digital geyser]

Anyone notice some npcs bunching up when going to like clear bandit side quests? theyre just all in a huddle sitting there from a far

[regal sinew]

I'm not in a rush to collect that tbh, obviously I will at some point but it's basically just a normal GP37 without the baked on scope and has a burst fire mode. Seems kinda, meh, to me.

[still carbon]

its a side mission from warlock that gives like 5k

[sand pond]

Reliable chimera respawn point for malachite mutant part quest?

I've already wasted by 4 chimera ears for those quests but I need more money.

[regal sinew]

I see. I never had to defend Zalissyia either, did that get removed? Or is there a trigger for it?

[sand pond]

Defense of Zalissyia is available within like a day or two after doing SIRCAA

[regal sinew]

Ahhh cool. I'm miles away from that then.

Not long left the Lesser Zone but I've been hitting all the stashes etc. Left Lesser Zone with roughly 60-70k coupons and massive stacks of ammo.

On Master diff. ofc.

[stuck seal]

There’s always a chimera at VPC mirror

[iron wind]

new quest line is goated

rly nice addition to the game, nice hub as well

[fierce nexus]

[sand pond]

Does it respawn though?

[sacred cedar]

North Tunnel in Zaton

[stuck seal]

I fought that jerk idk how many times by now so

Yeah I think it does

Unless they changed it at some point

Guys i have issue with zone kit, ive added it to the epic library but it doesnt show there, i cant download it. Ive tried restarting pc/launcher reinstaling launcher but it still doesnt show there. Any way to fix that?

[sand pond]

Bleh
Didn't find chimera neither on north tunnel on Zaton, nor at the Mirror.

Both times killed it once on quest long ago and that's it.

[slim oracle]

Theres one in pripiat inside the café near the pier

[storm reef]

If I finish the last storyline mission does it put me back in the open world or does it put me at the main menu??

[slim oracle]

Main menu

[bleak drum]

IS there any way to get finished game save files? I lost my finished save files and I don't want to replay the game to get back all the resources

[hardy totem]

want me to spot you a file?

I lost like 120 hours of my playtrough, came back because finally the game is playable and boom... everything lost

[wide veldt]

Cuz gsc stop updating on the engine status awhile ago

And dont answer questions about it

Now that I cheked there aren't actually a lot of recent news

[marble gyro]

Ever think about that gsc is taking a break for Christmas?

[bleak drum]

I feel like there isn't a lot of news on Xbox but I think if Stalker 2 devs do something then GamewithDave wil make an update

[marble gyro]

They could be back again in January

[bleak drum]

100%. I mean that's why I think they droped the 1.8 update right now, I mean everyone deserves a break...

[marble gyro]

Fr fr

[river chasm]

They took a holiday break last year so it's a safe assumption

[bleak drum]

After so many layoffs this year and ai replacement in game companies I am actually happy that they have a break, makes the world feel a bit less crazy

[proven hollow]

do most ukrainians celebrate it on the 25th of december of 7th of january these days?

[river chasm]

Not actually sure but they were out for several weeks so their break may cover both

[bleak drum]

I think both because lots of ukranians live abroad now, so they probably do both of them

[bright ether]

What do you think about Groza? It seems to be unusable at medium, not mentioning the long range.

it sucks how stalker 2 was gunna have a rpk and a rpd but they were cut

they wouldve kept 7.62x39 if these where in the game trust

[empty hare]

I really really hope we get at least one 7.63x39 weapon at some point. Theres a million options that fit the world

[main jewel]

they even had the model of the rpd in owls case for like a single version 😭

[empty hare]

SKS, AKMS, RPD, etc

Dnipro in 7.62x39 was great, 7.62x54 makes zero sense

[main jewel]

go in dms really quickly

[unreal gull]

the zone works in mysterious ways

[sand pond]

Yea, it's kinda an issue when there's only one gun for one ammo type
And they really wanted to make an early game sniper rifle, but also not to make too many ammo types, not too make sniper ammo too cheap or that new gun ammo too expensive.

Compromises were made.

[wide veldt]

I wonder how many people gsc genuinely thought would buy the game after they took it off gamepass with how the treat mods for xbox

Wonder what the percentage is

[sweet flicker]

Is the four winds bugged? I just discovered generators and i still didn’t get the trophy (i got cnpp and iron forest right before going to ponr)

[sand pond]

Idk, for me worked fine

[digital geyser]

new bug where you cant pull your radial wheel to change weapons sometimes after loading in?

literally wont let me pull my gun out and im surrounded after this save

[sweet flicker]

Nvm it popped as i got further into it

[storm reef]

Im low on Money does anyone now a good spot to hunt mutants ?

[main jewel]

hunting mutants is probably one of the worst ways to get money

hunt npcs and grab their guns to sell

or just do the average artifact run

most of the high tier mutants take alot of bullets and even if you do make profit itll be very slow

[storm reef]

@main jewel True but I'm mainly hunting the armor deer there antlers sell for 35k each and it only takes 4 sniper shots to kill it

[main jewel]

what difficulty are you playing on cause on vet for me they sell for 5 toilet paper and a gummy bear

[storm reef]

@main jewel I'm on Stalker difficulty after I just got done with veteran

[main jewel]

oh well then disregard my tip because mutant parts sell for like 12 pesos in veteran

[cyan sparrow]

Shot and loot anything what moves and cast shadow

[proven hollow]

12 pesos, in the zone? you rich man

[storm reef]

@cyan sparrow 🫡

[proven hollow]

nah, honestly money ain't hard to get even on master, i hoard all artifacts, all custom weapons, all ammo, all meds, all food, all grenades, and am making an armory of at least one of every weapon and armor in the zone, and still i turn a profit just from exclusively selling weapons

[feral sigil]

lemme get a loan

[proven hollow]

your credit rating ain't good enough

[wide veldt]

A WHAT?

i didnt know that was in the game

Also are the armor sets and guns that come with deluxe or Chernoble edition actually any good

[storm reef]

@wide veldt really I'm pretty sure u kill one in the main storyline lol plus there easy to find out in the wild

[plain fiber]

There's undeniably A-Life now, what are you on about?

[lethal crest]

Depends what your favourite weapons are

I’m quite a fan of the Lullaby (although I’ve now replaced it with a Dnipro) & the Magach shotgun, but the rest aren’t that exciting to me
The Lullaby is the best of the bunch you get before Prypiat IMO, but if you like submachine guns you get a Monolith-styled MP5 & a Vector in Duty’s colour scheme

[vagrant pewter]

All I wanted was a Sword to slice bullets with >.>

[harsh jungle]

Honse?

[wide veldt]

Ok but i can just brake into Pripyat though

[lethal crest]

I did the same, that’s how you get the shotgun
Not everyone likes to sequence break like that though

[wide veldt]

Does the editions actually give u anything better than what u can just obtain for free

[lethal crest]

The Magach can be lighter than a kitted out Saiga IIRC, and has a better scope in my opinion
The lullaby is integrally suppressed so you don’t need to buy a separate suppressor, and it looks better

It’s mostly looks tbh

[wide veldt]

Oh ok

[feral sigil]

stalker is the perfect game for XMAS

[slow crystal]

Nah what about frostpunk?

[wide veldt]

man what you on about its 2909

What if, it's random

[wide veldt]

Google told me 0505 my bad

Oh i read something else

It showed me multiple things

[errant socket]

is there a red dot that works with the AKM74 S? the open colimator seems to be only compatible with the U variant 🤔

[tranquil mantle]

any tips on fighting tyrant on veteran?

He was tough for me on regular but maybe it was a skill issue

[sweet flicker]

Im having issues finding some common artifacts for a trophy am i allowed to start a new game on the same slot to get the last couple commons?

[plain fiber]

The arena champion right? You aren't locked in place during the weapon inspection animation. Run right up to him and dump the cylinder into his face.

[tranquil mantle]

I am locked in place during the weapon inspection, it triggers basically a mini cut scene

I'm gonna try what I did the first time leaning in and out of cover binging head shots with AP rounds, hopefully can lock him into one spot

[plain fiber]

Pretty sure I did the arena in 1.7 and I could freely move around during that bit even though I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to. I wonder if they finally patched it.

[tranquil mantle]

I'm on ps5 it might be different

[plain fiber]

Possibly.

[tranquil mantle]

Either way wish me luck, hopefully I can get it in 3 tries at least lmao

[brisk girder]

Where is the arena at again?

[vernal lily]

Rostok

[tranquil mantle]

It's in Rostok

[brisk girder]

Thanks guys

[tranquil mantle]

Arena on veteran barely pays the bills lol

I kill a chimera and you give me how much????

[stuck grove]

oh man you just triggered a relapse of that braindead arena fight with pseudo-dog where you get TOZ-34 with 40 shells to kill it, back then it would use shadow clone jutsu and spam itself to the point you simply had to cheese it using crates and it's dumb AI

still don't know what the dev who designed that fight was smoking but Freedomers surely would OD on that

[tranquil mantle]

Ok first try at tyrant and I'm out of ammo despite landing basically all my shots

And there's no more ammo around or guns around

[stoic flicker]

is there a way to bind underbarrel GL? the keybind is greyed out. Feels awkward holding the "change fire mode" key for like 2 seconds

[tranquil mantle]

Nvm got him

[hearty tendon]

Uhh am I totally nuts or did the ladder on the side of Camp Kazkovyi vanish?

[plain fiber]

Fighting psy-dogs still sucks because they can straight-up teleport between their copies which is absolute horse shit. Run to the rear right of the arena, it messes with their pathfinding or something and makes that fight so much easier.

[hearty tendon]

Ah, I found my way up

Y'know I don't understand why in the world all the hostiles in this game can shoot through just about anything

It's most apparent when I'm hiding behind trains, I'll be hiding behind the wheels and still be getting shot clean through it

That's what, 11 feet of solid steel along the wheelset? What gun in the Zone can easily cut through 11 feet of solid steel??

A 16 inch naval gun wouldn't be able to shoot through all that, provided the train was completely immovable

[brave leaf]

I'm absolutely puzzled, tried Googling to no avail. First playthrough and I'm goofing around in the Ward's base just clearing it out cause why not, but there's apparently some NPC with a gauss rifle (sounds like a regular rifle) who just one shots me the moment I step out of cover.

Instant death, the moment I am out of cover and not under fire/no enemies to be seen.

Am I just not supposed to be clearing this base? Nothing is telling me to, besides my wanting to.

[empty hare]

There seem to be some places around the zone (other than duga) that are protected by the insta-kill snipers, no idea why

[brave leaf]

Aw weak. It's not like they even drop anything good, just doing it for the love of the game. Picked up like 18 energy drinks just a quarter of the way into the base.

[empty hare]

Based, killing Ward is just fun

I was relatively neutral to them up until SIRCAA, but now im planning to go wipe them out once i get the hub established in burnt forest

[sand pond]

Bleh

Just finished X3

On one hand, sure it's still possible to make millions even on Master diff to upgrade all you want, and even waste some for experiments. You certainly can get more money than repair costs even with very expensive equipment if you're careful enough.

But on the other hand - it's tedious as hell.
Sure I get that it inspires to be strategic with your money, know the game well and have a plan for the game.
But on the other - eh, I kinda want to play with all the toys.

Also...
It was much easier than I remembered it even on normal diff. Came overprepared again.
It was like... what? 5 snorks, 2 bloodsuckers and one pseudo?
Barely used 10% of the ammo I came with, not to mention ammo I've got on the way.

[brave leaf]

Same honestly. After getting to SIRCAA I was like "woah wait, everyone kinda sucks"

[arctic schooner]

So why do I randomly encounter psi radiation that spawns enemy hallucinations? Are there just random psi-field anomalies?

[brave leaf]

Pretty sure it's a random controller/burer/poltergeist somewhere nearby or underground from you.

[tranquil mantle]

Are you in the red forest

[brave leaf]

Cause I was getting smacked up by the hatman by The Claw and ended up just running away all far.

[arctic schooner]

Not quite, but heading there. The random psi enemy nearby seems to be the likeliest cause as I see a lot of X marks for dead enemies but they aren't on the ground in front of me. I'm just outside Ahroprom, and I recall there being an underground portion there somewhere, so I'm guessing it's some underground enemy using wallhacks

[brave leaf]

That's what I've found it to be. Just strolling around some places and I'll just hear that noise and know there's a Controller or something underground somewhere making me trip.

[sand pond]

Still need to figure out the way I actually want to play Stalker 2...
I also kinda hate all the story choices game gives.
Always have to agree onto something with everyone, have to betray everyone, everyone is using you...
Doesn't taste great.

[brave leaf]

Just stock up on an inventory mostly full of vodka and PTM ammo, if anything goes wrong you can just blame it on being a drunk and not knowing better.

[tranquil mantle]

Imo I enjoy how many story paths there are because it gives the game a lot of replayability, I'm on my second playthrough doing the ward path and its a totally different game

[brave leaf]

Got this on launch and it was just too buggy to play/goof around with to see what works - Dumping all my ammo into a single mutant was unfun. Just picked it up again yesterday and it's cool, really like the story - It's very interesting so far, having just gotten to Rostok with it; But man I'm already hankering for some Anomaly-esque overhaul of this.

[harsh jungle]

game fun

[sacred cedar]

Easy solution, pick ward and kill all the other C-con agents

[sand pond]

So far 100+ hours into master mode

One of the worst features of it - is certainly faster weapon degradation
One tube from Ratkiller costed me like 10% durability.
Spray&Pray, while fun, can only last so much.

I will certainly replay Stalker 2 more and more, but overall experience gives me ideas on what mods do I want.

Not my first time. I've did some tuning with mods to make the game I want to play with GAMMA, with Fallout 4 and Skyrim, surely Stalker 2 will also eventually be made into the perfect autistic murder hobo simulator.

I also REALLY want to do something about hipfire accuracy.
Shotguns are very good at hip fire, pistols pretty good as well, but shot dispersion on anything automatic is just ridiculous.

[tranquil mantle]

That's what I'm doing currently

[brave leaf]

I've gotten pretty good results hipfiring honestly everything except pistols. Can't speak for Fallout or Skyrim - But I'm doing my first playthrough with a reshade and some physics/effects mods for S2 and it's pretty nice.

Weapon degradation is nuts though absolutely, idk what Ratkiller is but I rotate guns from my stash cause of how quick shit wears down after 300 rounds.

[stuck grove]

thing that made me skip master diff is how it discourages exploring. Sure you can farm bunch of artifacts and whatnot but when you are heavily penalised for dying, you just kinda want to blitz through the game. I am glad there is now an option to disable expedition mode.

[hearty tendon]

All the stuff at SIRCAA made the Ward look pretty bad but having done the Skif ending on my last playthrough, I cannot in good conscience side with the Ward or let them do anything in the Zone

[tranquil mantle]

After doing Strelok ending I can not in good conscience do any other ending but giving ward a try lol

[harsh jungle]

I cannot in good conscience trust the Ward

[sacred cedar]

You're interactions with them are also based on previous choices

[tranquil mantle]

Imo the ward puts all their cards on the table from what I've seen, Strelok and especially Scar doesn't

[harsh jungle]

that’s cause Scar is a schizophrenic

[hearty tendon]

Korshunov is downright evil, it's insane that I never put two and two together, especially when he admitted before that he saw C-Con boiling in their pods, that's because he was there when the experiment started

[harsh jungle]

korshunov almost kicked my butt once

[hearty tendon]

Strelok has good intentions, but he's obsessed with the Zone, it's supposed to be free but he can't let go of it, it's not supposed to be controlled

[sand pond]

I am kinda a victim of repressive government and police brutality.
Doing Ward ending for the first time was like "Eh, that's probably how our police feels, when all the normal people hates you, and would spit at you on the streets if they weren't scared of the government so much. And you're scared of the government too. Leviathan is your only backup, but one wrong step and it will maul you as well just like all the rest".

By that I mean I despise playing as Ward as a concept.
Yes, Colonel is a cool (and scary) guy, I do respect that.
But no way I am serving his cause.

Doctor ending felt marginally least awful. It's sort of death, but at least it feels like Skif dies on his own terms, by rejecting everyone who uses him for the personal petty reasons.

[hearty tendon]

Skif ending to me seems canonical, everyone's stories end and the Zone is truly free, with someone who cares at the helm of C-Con

Plus if I'm interpreting the cutscene correctly, the Alpha artifact in Skif's apartment was the Zone crying out for help from him specifically, it revealed everything that he had to do and was going to do, Skif has always been an agent of the Zone, not the Monolith or anything like that, but of the Zone itself

I think Faust came to understand that in the Great Swamps, the Monolith was a sham, and in his effort to speak to the Monolith once again, the Zone itself spoke to him

[sand pond]

Most of my Master mode playthrough I've played with Combatant (which I've got through console due to chosing Ward choices I didn't chose on the first playthrough)

It has increased durability so doesn't break as fast, it's cheap to repair (relatively speaking), abundant ammo, does job well enough even as far as second Duga assault, as long as you have AP ammo and go for the head.

[tranquil mantle]

This is a pretty basic question but if I kill stalkers out in the zone, and kill all of them will other free stalkers then be hostile

[sand pond]

Not to mention that second you leave location, or pass through it, it's filled with enemy squads.
You go to place X through the place Y.
You have to clear place Y on the way to place X, but then also get back to the hub through place Y and have to clear it again.

Especially gets bad when you do full run around the zone for the artifacts (I've collected way over 250)
At some point I've got so bored with running kilometres, neverending shootouts here and there, and then one shots from one wrong step while getting the artifact, due to... well... anomalies one shotting you unless max defense on master, that I've started to just zoom around the map with toggled NoClip 3000 just to get my artifacts.

Again, otherwise it's more TEDIOUS than HARD.
Death counter is still way over 300. Master mode is no joke at any point.
Bandits on Kordon still shred you with a fully upgraded exo, if you ever get careless.

[sand pond]

I stand on a hill that Skif also is a C-Con agent with somewhat broken program like Strelok.

C-Con can track him, they have somewhat programmed him to be extraordinary agreeable and weak to outter guidance, but can't 100% force him to do anything.
So they need another C-Con agent Richter to guide him, or at least try to.

Help him with whatever no matter the cost, and hope that he will make the right choice.

The only time when it was decided that Skif is completely lost - is when Skif goes to the basement on the side of Ward.
When Richter finally stops helping him and actually tries to kill him.

Any other outcome is FINE for the C-Con who track Skif and give orders to Richter through Noosphere.

One might say it's not C-Con but the Zone itself, but...
I mean...
They have merged. Zone IS the C-Con, and C-Con IS the zone. Despite their older directives that Scar follows.

[old fern]

Is steam x64 or x32?

[sand pond]

Some people don't want the truth, they just want to be happy.

"If there's no Shining Zone, then all of the deaths were for nothing" or something he said.
People just want to believe everything wasn't for nothing. Believe into the some supernatural greater good.

Idk, copium for the traumatic experience.

I mean except CoP every protag is revealed to be C-Con agent, and that's how you get 'quests' which tell you to do X or Y. Like Skif wants new apartment, but why not just farm bunch of artifacts or earn paycheck in Rostok's arena. The guy sees absolute clown-fest at SIRCAA and entire army of brainwashed specops revived and instead of just leaving the zone, he is more than happy to risk his life to open Faust's usb stick

[feral sigil]

netflix tv show when ?

havent heard any news recently

[tranquil mantle]

sonic mode engaged

[harsh jungle]

gotta go fast

[golden gulch]

So I guess we won't get any patch till Feb

[hearty tendon]

I reckon the new camp might be a little too active, fought off a bandit squad, a pack of snorks, a ward squad, a horde of rats, and a pack of bloodsuckers, just to turn in some tools

And now there's a friendly warden in the base?

What type of crowds is this camp inviting??? 😭

[marble gyro]

Ay man, I would enjoy the game now, and experiment on the zone to see if you can discover any new anomalies that should stay and not get removed ya know?

[ebon blade]

Yes, no need to complain every day until February.

[feral sigil]

why feb ?

i am pretty sure there will be a patch on january

[wide veldt]

If thats how long its going to take just for a patch imagine how long itl take for xbox to get more mods

[golden gulch]

The holiday for them is around this time to the end of January.
That means they won't get to work till then.

[wide veldt]

yes i mention it alot cuz iv been waiting most of this year for it

And it looks like at this rate itl be another year

[golden gulch]

We do need to do that tbh

[feral sigil]

one month holidays damn bro i need their job

[ebon blade]

Try to find another higher purpose in life.

[feral sigil]

😂

i am lucky if i will have 3 days off on xmas

[golden gulch]

I can still have another purpose in life while also asking GSC to fix/improve the game the sold to us.
Or "complaining" if you want that.
And you don't need to go haywire on me.

[shell flax]

‘Haywire’
I think you’re the one going haywire in this case

[wide veldt]

Woah there your talking to a DISCORD MOD buddy

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/chips-gif-22155079

[wide veldt]

[golden gulch]

if anyone is telling me to get another purpose in life, how about them stop defending the game on that level, you only hurt the game, the developers and users in the long run.

[vernal lily]

Average day on Stalker official discord

[wide veldt]

Discord mod activated

[golden gulch]

Lmao

[ebon blade]

This will probably be the most deluded post I will see this December.
As if you're whining enriches the game, the developers and users here.

[feral sigil]

min2r95 is alright

i mean my man loves the drama

but he gucci

[ebon blade]

If you see a bug, report it. GSC will actually see those.
If you feel the need to do something constructive, volunteer
to be a Tester and provide actual feedback that will be worked on.
Just coming here and asking for a Patch daily contributes nothing but grind.

[feral sigil]

yea word bro

but you know some guys like to whine

its in human nature lol

[ebon blade]

My first thought is why are you here whining
when instead you could be playing Stalker 2?

[main jewel]

lowkey one thing i dont like about the guns in this game is how the recoil feels similar across every gun

[feral sigil]

not true bro

[spare canopy]

Hello

[feral sigil]

hello brother !

[spare canopy]

How are thou

[ebon blade]

Curious, do you choose accuracy, durability, damage or recoil, if given a choice on upgrades?

[main jewel]

after playing games like escape from tarkov the recoil can feel really similar, or at least like so much less than it should be imo

[spare canopy]

S2 leads to whining 🤣

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-cat-cat-funny-cat-flashbang-flashbang-gif-8479999063609699416

i usually prioritize accuracy and damage of all things

[feral sigil]

fine bro thanks for asking, just finished a cop run

[main jewel]

durability can be left to liquid rock..

[spare canopy]

Niiice

Never finished that game... Got to some part when you go through the tunnel, try and give some former mo olith members a home with duty...

And that is all I can remember

[main jewel]

also why the reticles on the scopes on the back lens glass thing arent they supposed to be on the front

[main jewel]

you should finish it

[spare canopy]

Nah... Didn't like story.

It felt more like a tech demo

[feral sigil]

The atmosphere is very good

But yea the story could be better

[main jewel]

hi poltergeist

[ebon blade]

This was an enjoyable fight.

[spare canopy]

The atmosphere in all stalker games is great... Very little like it...

It's why I still play S2, despite it being an annoying and frustrating shit fest.

I love wandering the zone.

[main jewel]

i wonder if modders will revive the oko detector

half the people on this server probably dont know what it is but i hope to see it revived

[feral sigil]

Yea i know many guys that still play the og trilogy from back then in a weekly basis

Its more than just a video game for lots of us

[feral sigil]

Even with its flaws i love stalker games religiously

[main jewel]

yea its even in the game

hamster hording it 🥹

its right behind him on a shelf but he refuses to sell it just like that nato gun selling guy in rostok with his thermal

[ebon blade]

Call of the Zone was my favorite Stalker Mod.

[spare canopy]

I love SoC... Still the best of all of them

[main jewel]

2 thermals cut from the game 🥹 i hope to see yall soon thermal scopes..

[spare canopy]

And yet, could have been so much more

[main jewel]

how in the buns does hamster have it if it was made at sircaa and only dalin knows what it can do man im glad i destroyed him

[spare canopy]

I liked the original stalker complete when it was just a graphics update.

[ebon blade]

The Complete Mods were their worst. They were originally designed for people who
found the retail games too hard and wanted it dumbed down and repsawns reduced.

[spare canopy]

The original one, was just a graphics mod, I don't remember it changing anything else.

Or maybe I was thinking of another one...

Also grass draw distance is must for me

[ebon blade]

Reducing the grass draw is one of the first things I do in the trilogy games.

[rain ingot]

who takes the electric collars? this mission always seems to bug on me every playthrough i cant get rid of them

[spare canopy]

I want to increase it, so it goes on for miles 🤣

Do t care about performance on my 9070xt... Grass drawn as far as possible until 60fps is hit

There was a game launcher, maybe for CoP that allowed you to set grass draw distance... Never found it again.

[ebon blade]

If the grass density is too thick, you cannot see dropped weapons.

[spare canopy]

Meh, as soon as I got the 5000k I never needed another weapon... Just needed normal and ap ammo

[ebon blade]

I'm stuck with a few. I've read there are 7 different locations to gather them.

[spare canopy]

The first lot is hamster... Or the guy to the east, in a hanger on the way to malachite, just across the river over the bridge

[heady wind]

I can't jump into Rostok Bubble teleport anomaly for some reason. I doesn't pull me inside, I just fall to death. Was it changed somehow? I remember on release you just had to jump near it and it would pull you in

[ebon blade]

@main jewel Did you notice a vinyl record was lodged in the back of the Bandit's head?

[ebon blade]

You have to jump in the right spot. Use the underground hallway
in the 100 Rads Bar and then go jump right into the center of it.

[spare canopy]

Also check for loot on the other side of the chasm

[rain ingot]

alright well.. electric collars.. great side quest horrible implementation i think they should rework how it is because its a hassle and isnt fun because you get stuck with collars in your inventory for the entire game

im at hamster post and he wont acknowledge i have them

[spare canopy]

Then you to got to the doctor you need to get drunk... I think it's started in malachite... Or argoprom

I actually think it's argoprom, the location in SoC with the military people in it, and the first underground location, where you first met a bloodsucker after going down a spiral stair case, that also leads to Streloks hidden base.

There is door on the ground floor, in the eastern building with a scientist that needs to do a mission for.

[heady wind]

I jump from anywhere and just fall to death, from hallway too

[heady wind]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[spare canopy]

Did you go through the old 100 rads bar? Through the basement?

[heady wind]

Yes, #📸┃screens_and_videos message

[spare canopy]

Just saw... That's bugged

[visual mortar]

this guy knows peak

[heady wind]

I am not yet taken here by mainstory (main quests are still in Zaton), so this is before SIRCAA, I just went exploring. So it's either bugged or main-quest locked (which would be weird af, why?)

[golden gulch]

Bloodsuckers and Snork need at least a 90% drop rate for their parts.

[ebon blade]

There are actually 2 electric collars jobs. One takes place in the Lesser Zone
with Nightingale and the other takes place, where there are 7 locations of collars.

[golden gulch]

That one is most likely broken

[golden gulch]

Now I'm sure that this quest is bugged, or I need to take the Ward parth? Because it's not available to me.

[violet dune]

skill issue, weak legs, no squats, hit the gym

[spare canopy]

Yeah, you need to go to argoprom and speak to the scientist there to start it. IIRC... Ground floor eastern building

[ebon blade]

Do you remember his name?

[spare canopy]

No, but he is the understudy of the guy you need to get drunk...

[golden gulch]

I was talking about Nightingale, I couldn't find him in all of my playthrough yet.
So I supposed his quest is Ward path exclusive?

[spare canopy]

He's on Zalissya, the goes to pig pens, then ends up in the abondon village.

[bronze shuttle]

I am so frustrated. I am at the Agricultural Workshop and the Burer keeps kicking the key and then you cannot find. I restarted so many time, STALKER 2 crashed. Does anyone has a solution that could help me?

[violet dune]

people born in 2000, will be 26 soon

[spare canopy]

And 100% not ward related

[golden gulch]

Let me see if I can find him in Zalissya, in my current playthrough

[ebon blade]

I didn't do the Ward path and I met Nightingale standing near the Medic's house in Zalissya.

[spare canopy]

If not, go to the pig pens

[heady wind]

Portal trigger is disabled for some reason...

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[main jewel]

to this day i still wonder why gsc added the flash anomaly

[main jewel]

bro flying

[main jewel]

yes

[golden gulch]

I'm pretty sure that anomaly is meant to be a real challenge given how anomaly fields are very forgiving compared to the OG trilogy.

Does anyone feel that the vanilla game is very empty still after so many patches on PC?

[ebon blade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upH1QZU4Z0Y

[main jewel]

in reality in vet and master difficulties its a insta death barrier that requires you to get the weird bolt to even get past it. its quite literally the sniper that kills you in the duga, but not a sniper

theres no counter to it other than the weird bolt and not even looking away can save you, or standing still

[bronze shuttle]

Did you find the key on lower floor?

[stuck seal]

So about the new quest, I realized just now that I already fought the cat at the summer camp long ago, so does that mean that part is bugged?

Or is the cat supposed to respawn, because there’s nothing at the stage, even the stash there was looted by me

[marsh iron]

(it's optional for that reason)

[stuck seal]

Of course, but then if the cat has already been killed, why have it as an option in the first place

[marsh iron]

(no, it's optional because there is a chance you have already cleared the summer stage)

[stuck seal]

I guess you can’t blame them, maybe they couldn’t find a way to detect if you’ve been to the stage or not

[marsh iron]

(if you have never been to that area, then this quest prompts you to go check it out)

[stuck seal]

Yes that makes sense, obviously, but of course there are other points in the game where the game detects if you’ve done something and doesn’t tell you to do it, because you already have

Which lead to my confusion

[tender oyster]

Does killing the rats in one of the building do anything for you? Mine doesnt progress even after killing it and looted the dead bodies

[stuck seal]

When I grabbed mission items it updated for me

[tranquil mantle]

Time to play more stalker

[ebon blade]

Do you see any orange skulls at the top of your HUD in any direction?

[tender oyster]

There is no compass on master. I also tried throwing grenade around the building just to make sure i killed all of them. I only saw 3 of the rats

[ebon blade]

When I did that, the threat was still there after searching the top floor.
Not until I went back outside to the south did I find the last mutant.

[tender oyster]

I'll try checking south of the building later

[ebon blade]

It's not another rat.

[tender oyster]

I'll check it out just in case

[golden gulch]

Ok some info that....might be useful.
It seems like (at least with 1.8) protection stats from both helmet and light armor does stack, except when the damage sources are:

1. Mutant
2. Physical anomalies

If you want to deal with mutants damage with a helmet and light armor, use artifacts.
This might be useful at higher difficulty since helmets seems to be able to absorb a lot of damage before you need to repair them, which saves coupons.

[ebon blade]

Both helmets stack? You mean wearing two helmets at once?

[golden gulch]

Typo,fixed

[ebon blade]

Most suits that need a helmet or mask to pair along with them,
do not have psi protection, so it is best to find a helmet that does.
I'm not saying that you don't already know this, just sharing for readers.

[tranquil mantle]

Zircon suit + Sphere M20 goes brrrrr

[shell flax]

I just wish the zircon didn’t have those goofy range gloves

I’m much more partial to the gloves from the army suits

[golden gulch]

Ok I can't find Nightingale in my current playthrough, not sure if killing the bloodsucker at Dire Thicker, or me getting out of Zalissya actually disable the quest?

[ebon blade]

Nightingale just appears inside Zalissya randomly at some point.
I guess people that leave the Lesser Zone in a hurry might never see him.

@vernal lily

[vernal lily]

Already knew about that, but it already applies to me since I restarted my membership this month. But also doesn't matter, using paid version temporarily.

[golden gulch]

At least I know that his quest isn't route based, now to see if I can see him at all.

[tranquil mantle]

who is nightingale

Never even heard of him

[tranquil mantle]

I feel like I remember his name from Uncle Lyona's list of killed stalkers

[golden gulch]

There another character mention Nightingale, I won't spoil

[tranquil mantle]

Well if you can miss him by leaving the lesser zone too fast I definitely missed him on this run lol

[ebon blade]

There are many, many things people miss by being in too damn of a hurry to do the main missions as fast as possible.

[tranquil mantle]

I don't really leave to get started on the quest line I just find the lesser zone horribly boring

And when I started this quest lesser zone still had the overactive blood suckers spawning that came from 1.8, so lesser zone was literally not worth hanging out in lmao

[ebon blade]

The average Player who spends just a little time in each territory,
probably sees about 20% of the game by the time they get to the end.

[hearty tendon]

I'm a total mix of wanting to enjoy every bit of the game and wanting to unlock Pripyat ASAP

[tranquil mantle]

I pretty thoroughly navigated most of the game besides pripyat, pripyat with the over active spawns just wasn't an enjoyable experience

Now that those are fixed I look forward to giving it another try

[ebon blade]

Unfortunately too many people start the game, with just a little pre-game knowledge,
and want to rush to Pripyat to go get the end game best armors and best weapons.

[hearty tendon]

I just like it for the atmosphere, I still use the light merc suit and the sofmod

I can't wait until I can eventually explore the Jupiter Plant again, and I wish they'd open some of the old X labs, for old times sake

[main jewel]

ive noticed that after the stories untold quest line, mercs seem to spawn in occasionally around the routes i go either solo or in groups of 3

i have 2 instances screenshotted and recorded

is this supposed to happen cause they spawn in kinda randomly

and walk around in circles or just wait for me to pass by

[tranquil mantle]

Man I wish the new quest would just start for me

[main jewel]

have you gone to the burnt forest

the red forest might not work sometimes

[tranquil mantle]

I went to the red forest because I was told it isn't the burnt forest lol

[main jewel]

it is the burnt forest

also another merc randomly spawning in right infront of me

[tranquil mantle]

Thank you

That's what I thought in the beginning but was told other wise

[main jewel]

its like after the quest mercs randomly spawn in cause like they have a bounty on your head

[charred nova]

NOPE

the quest is in burnt forest

fact checked true by real stalker players

[main jewel]

me when people repeat what i just said

BRO THESE MERCS WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM

[charred nova]

im officially 23

[tranquil mantle]

Happy birthday

[charred nova]

[main jewel]

people would probably trust you more than me so

hi officially 23

[charred nova]

yah thanks for greeting me

being 23 is hard work

only been on the job 54 minutes so far

tuff work let me tell you

[tranquil mantle]

I just turned 27, just imagine the amount of work that is

[main jewel]

dude actually what is with the merc spawns

this is my 5th now

[charred nova]

hope to be working at a dealer by then

[main jewel]

ITS A WHOLE SQUAD

[charred nova]

if i don't own my dream time by the time im 30

ill have failed at life completely

[tranquil mantle]

Luckily for you 30 is the perfect time to fail at life

[charred nova]

hopefully not

auto industry is losing some 150k workers a year right now so

the pays only getting better

[main jewel]

@ebon blade you play this game alot, after the quest have you noticed mercs spawning in in groups exactly where you are or in the vicinity, cause i’ve noticed mercs are spawning in alot more than usual, so far i’ve documented 5 recordings in the span of like 30 minutes

[tranquil mantle]

What do you do? Mechanic or sales?

[charred nova]

studying to become an auto tech

[tranquil mantle]

Are you at UTI?

Or a similar school

[charred nova]

yes

[ebon blade]

Oh yeah, once my Skif starts stirring up so much trouble,
the Mercs are sent to kill him in just about all the territories.
I've been ambushed inside Zalissya, at Rostok, at the Cement
Factory, in the Cordon, at STC Malachite and even up in Yaniv.

[charred nova]

i live on the east coast so we got never ending auto work and never ending pain and suffering

air hammers and oxy torches are a must have out here

[tranquil mantle]

I went through UTI, did a welding program though. I hate working on cars although I'm constantly working on my car

[charred nova]

what part of the states you live in

[tranquil mantle]

The lovely inhospitable desert that is Arizona

[main jewel]

so far ive seen that they only cover the southern parts of the zone completely

[charred nova]

you bitch you don't gotta weld in floors on cars out there

[main jewel]

ive seen a few in garbage

[charred nova]

[main jewel]

very weird and scary

[tranquil mantle]

I have welded things on my car that I probably didn't need to tbf

[charred nova]

out here you gotta put whole new floors in

because no one ever coats their cars

so easy to do only gotta do it once a year

basically makes the car rust proof but thankfully or unthankfully depending on how you look at it no one does so plenty of work for you if you're a welder up here

[tranquil mantle]

Yeah luckily we don't really have to deal with rust in the same way as you guys, our issues are more related to every rubber component failing from the heat

[charred nova]

and cracked dash haha

i mean hell i bet cars basically fall apart for you guys most of the time all just comes apart like it was put on yesterday

[ebon blade]

Garbage too. Some even were inside the Slag Heap
for an Emission and we went outside to fight each other.

[tranquil mantle]

Yeah our biggest issues are battery and tires, there is SO many auto shops here but unfortunately due to that fact being a mechanic has super low average pay

[charred nova]

even at dealers?

[tranquil mantle]

Dealers are always better but still bad compared to elsewear

[charred nova]

ah thats a shame

[tranquil mantle]

There's also so many dealers here, even in Phoenix Arizona isn't really a walking state

[charred nova]

at least out here its like 30 dollars minimum assuming you've been through school

45 on the higher end

but if your working flat rate you can easily get paid out like 80 hours a week

[charred nova]

even the ev techs don't get paid that much?

[ebon blade]

https://tenor.com/view/when-your-see-youtubers-playing-fortnite-season11-dance-excited-spongebob-gif-8683500636510898551

[tranquil mantle]

Ev techs definitely get paid more but overall pay is just worse here, in the greater Phoenix area every industry is just flooded

[charred nova]

honestly a shame

didn't realize how good we had it out here

[tender ginkgo]

Is that an actual thing? Cause ive had mercs ambush me as soon as I went into cordon after finishing the first couple of quests in the lesser zone

[main jewel]

its evil

[charred nova]

don't remind me im fossil bound

[main jewel]

it might be cause its happening right after the update

mercs never used to be around like this

they were usually only in the military camp thing or tied to specific side missions and a story mission

now they roam everywhere

[tender ginkgo]

Could also be spawn rate issues when the recent update

[main jewel]

hunting you specifically

[tender ginkgo]

I mean I had the thing with the mercs happen to me in cordon just after the PS5 release

[cobalt fiber]

Happy birthday jack !!!

[main jewel]

well tbf if thats the issue i enjoy the fact that its mercs cause i mean after killing a certain specific merc guy if you did the 1.8 quest and after triggering that specific thing in the quest mercs would be absolutely trying to take you out

[ebon blade]

Mercs have been like this for months. Before 1.5 even.

You have to do a lot of traveling around to see them like this.

[tranquil mantle]

Do I have to wait for a certain point in the ward story line to have access to the chemical plant base?

[cobalt fiber]

Yes

[tranquil mantle]

Lame

Ward badge is pretty worthless ngl

[main jewel]

i dunno ive never seen them like this at all

i mean they are quite literally waiting for me

some of them just stand still 😭

[tranquil mantle]

Oh I think I found the next blood suckers spawn bug location

Looking at 3 of them in my scope right now right outside the ward base

[charred nova]

your forgetting bro

we are still in early access

[main jewel]

me still waiting for the day thermals arrive

[charred nova]

shhhhh don't talk about the thermals

don't want the gamma players to hear

[ebon blade]

I've had Mercs stalk me inside Rostok, where Freedom did nothing
except lock all the doors to their buildings and watch me fight them.
Here's a screenshot of 5 Mercs that tried to ambush me inside Zalissya.

[tender ginkgo]

Rostock is really bad for them rn right outside of the freedom base

[main jewel]

one of them is fully modeled on a m701 behind that rostok trader everyone knows about it, i believe uncs also know about this on a shelf

why is it here like why bro put it in my hands

its rotting on a shelf

[charred nova]

now that you mentioned it

they will remove it in 1.9

[tranquil mantle]

Which direction outside Rostok?

[charred nova]

or rather beta 0.9

[main jewel]

im surprised they havent stripped the thermal yet

[sacred cedar]

It's because 80% or more of the players can't even tell it's a thermal

[main jewel]

also these things are probably there because gsc will add thm in the future

[sacred cedar]

This game wasn't made for gun acoustics like gamma

[main jewel]

it was actually really obvious

[tender ginkgo]

Outside the freedom base if you go outside of the warehouse where the two traders are and start heading towards the old duty bar

[stable warren]

how the flip do i open my weapon wheel in soc?

[main jewel]

people have to be rocks to not know its a thermal

[charred nova]

there is a weapon wheel in soc

[sacred cedar]

People don't know guns by default

[charred nova]

first im hearing

[main jewel]

enhanced edition i believe

[stable warren]

maybe it was a mod or smth then. how do i get my knife out tho?

im pressing 1 its not doing anything

[charred nova]

i forgor

[stable warren]

yeah says to get binoculars select them from wheel menu

[charred nova]

idk check key binds

[main jewel]

i change my keybinds so

[tranquil mantle]

You're getting blood suckers spawning inside of Rostok?

[tender ginkgo]

Go look at the stalker reddit page another guy ran into it as well

[charred nova]

[stable warren]

i lowk just dont have a knife anymore 💀

[tranquil mantle]

That's wild I have never had then spawn inside a base. I just got lucky with the 3 that spawned over here because a giant ward patrol came and helped me out

[main jewel]

they will never experience the zone like many have

[charred nova]

the pot has been poisoned

we can't turn back now

[main jewel]

insert sad chudjak gif cause i cant send gifs and the chudjak sad gif would be perfect for this situation

[tender ginkgo]

Yeah its absolutely insane

[tranquil mantle]

I just had another spawn lol

[stable warren]

apparently pressing g removes my knife permanently? am i cooked??

[sacred cedar]

There are people in this discord whose first stalker game was GAMMA

[tranquil mantle]

Where can I submit a bug?

[stable warren]

how do u use it vbru

[sacred cedar]

Ur cooked for playing enhanced edition

[stable warren]

why?

[main jewel]

thats true, playing 5000 mod packs shoved into a big mod industrial sized box in one game as your first stalker game must be sad

[sacred cedar]

Cuz they bad

[stable warren]

damn. im js sad i dont have my knife no more bruh

[main jewel]

i imagine people who play gamma or anomaly first cant play the original or EE soc cs or cop

[sacred cedar]

Honestly even stalker 2 would be a shame

[stable warren]

is enhanced edition genuinely worse? i lowk might restart if it is but i cant tell if yall jokinh

[main jewel]

for right now its probably the main reason people are getting into stalker, but then the only thing the can get is EE of the trilogy

[charred nova]

the enhanced editions are censored

and also run like ass

[main jewel]

it feels weird, its like american over processed food

its like buying a mcdonalds quarter pounder expecting it too look like what the ad shows

[stable warren]

ah

[charred nova]

im not sure what vanilla plus mods exist that just fix bugs and what not

[stable warren]

aight ig ill js redownload the original

lost my knife in enhanced edition anyway 💀

[main jewel]

after owning and playing the original trilogy games it feels like drinking powdered milk

[charred nova]

no idea how that happens

[stable warren]

it literally broke i cant use my knife or my binoculars anymore

[charred nova]

have you tried reloading a save

[main jewel]

also i believe EE is ment for consoles i dunno

it sure seems like it

[charred nova]

i mean yes

[main jewel]

thats why they have the weapon wheel anyway

and now the quick access like s2

[charred nova]

imbr i think i might be in the minority here but i don't really hate weapon wheels

since i don't have a keypad mouse

[main jewel]

i dont either its just i dont like seeing them in games they certainly dont belong in
