[marble gyro]

Well, as long as the net lets you

[main jewel]

i need to find what town im seeing based on its sign

[marble gyro]

You Want a app?

I use it for like my day Z traveling

[main jewel]

i dont need no apps to kill all opps

i dont like having stuff like that

[marble gyro]

It's essentially the tourist map tho, but like more helpful, doesn't mean it pinpoints your exact direction, but at least everything is in english

[main jewel]

dayz clouds move east to west so thats all i ned

need

[marble gyro]

Also you can see combinations for like recipes and stuff

Some are easy to get and others are far fetched and near impossible to get because of the enemy spawns

[main jewel]

oh but i know all those from my time watching dayz guys

and some playtime

[marble gyro]

As well as diseases?

[main jewel]

[ruby gale]

Because it helps

[main jewel]

oh

[charred nova]

[main jewel]

bad things are gunna happen

[marble gyro]

No, coconut water, water dehydrates you at a faster rate, you are more so looking for hydration and nutrients to compensate for how much alcohol you ingested

[main jewel]

i spawned in with a pp bison

[charred nova]

whats gonna happen?

[ruby gale]

Yes

[charred nova]

[marble gyro]

Drinking sucks but I have avoided many hangovers that way

[main jewel]

community severe are wier

[marble gyro]

If you throw up, then you have alcohol poisoning

And coconut water or water in general will hurt like a Beezneez

[ruby gale]

Its not alcohol, haven't had any recently, just caught something nasty

[marble gyro]

Oh

Then drink some tea

Chamomile for your body to relax and not be so tense, lemon for any mucus buildup and honey for antibiotics

[main jewel]

im being touched

[marble gyro]

[ruby gale]

I have some liquid death, would've ordered more but they dont have any in the tabs even though i know they have sweet reaper, dead billionaire, and that other red one

[main jewel]

[marble gyro]

Rip

[barren ginkgo]

Also anybody else find it cool they explained skifs badassery in a good way? He’s ex military. Like no way some random Joe Schmo gets to be so bad ass just cuz he’s the hero of the game like skif has priors

[charred nova]

it would be more bad ass if skif had more emotion than a sheet of dry wall

[barren ginkgo]

Well he’s Slavic that’s the whole thing lmao

[charred nova]

but skif is british

[barren ginkgo]

He’s nonchalant asf and I love it. Plain, concise. To the point

[charred nova]

he has no consistent tone

[barren ginkgo]

Wym? You guys don’t play with Russian/ukrainian spoken in game with subtitles ?

[charred nova]

and will speak most dialog as though hes reading an essay

and not speaking real words

[barren ginkgo]

Gotta play with the native language really puts some serious immersion to the game for me

[charred nova]

well yah

[barren ginkgo]

It’s like playing ghost of Tsushima jap language with eng subs

[charred nova]

the actual Ukrainian is better

[barren ginkgo]

Way better, the Slavic monotone skif speaks is great to me. Especially when he telling some off it’s comical asf.

[karmic jay]

Skif reminds me of Kyle Crane

[barren ginkgo]

I never liked dying light 😬🫣

[charred nova]

the problem is skif is not like jc denton

if they had the va read out skifs dialog like jc denton

that would be awesome

[karmic jay]

I liked the first one, second not so much

[barren ginkgo]

I want a mod for the original ak47 7.62. Not that akm crap and I really want the m16a3

That would be just gas asf for me

[golden gulch]

Tomorrow we definitely get something about the patch

It could even be the engine update we're waiting for

[wicked magnet]

https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/Skif's_Diary He was not only a ex mil man but also a contrabandist

[main jewel]

uuuuurrrrrghhgghhhhhhhhh

[main jewel]

well if you wanna know, the m16 was originally planned to be the 5.56 ar in this game and 7.62x39 exists in this game, the rpd was a planned weapon too.. ragman has a ak47 behind him

the game id for the 416 is actually has the part “GunM16”

cause the m16 was planned

so

[dull osprey]

huhm

[main jewel]

there was also a caliber chnage for the dnipro

to 7.62

[final mica]

hey stalkers new guy here so if i use a crest artifact with a battery artifact is it better to use both of those imstead of one thunder berry for S2?

[dull osprey]

tip #66 on S2 xbox has a typo lmao

[frigid hill]

leonkennedy27 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dull osprey]

woah

i wonder what he said

[final mica]

??

all i did was @ everyone?

[dull osprey]

i mean.. why?

[final mica]

i asked a question?

i never use discord but i have a question

[final mica]

my question was if i use a crest artifact plus a battery artifact is it better than using a thunderberry in S2?

[dull osprey]

honestly, probably. even though it fills two artifact slots, it might do you some good

the latter however might be more manageable in terms of artifact slots and more or less versatility

[final mica]

ya it’s because i’m trying to farm a thunderberry at the commissary store in duga and it’s getting kinda tiresome

[final mica]

any advice on trying to get a thunderberry quicker?

[marble gyro]

Nope, just keep on farming it

[final mica]

welp back to it

[marble gyro]

I hate dremoras

[main jewel]

doing this is like a cardinal sin

[karmic jay]

Trying to find attachments for the dnipro and s12, but the vendors attachment selection hasn’t changed after sleeping a bunch of times. Keeps selling the same optics and suppressors. Checked in both yaniv and Pripyat

[main jewel]

the dock in pripyat has a saiga drum next to a dead body

thats the most you can get

[karmic jay]

Thanks, have the extended mag for that so far. Looking for the grip

[main jewel]

with a tech you can equip a rail for optics

a tech can also do the grip

[karmic jay]

Can either of them get a forward grip attachment?

[main jewel]

pow

[karmic jay]

Oh yes..

[main jewel]

are you on xbox or playstation

or pc

[karmic jay]

Pc

[main jewel]

you should try oxa

oxa prototype

[karmic jay]

I want to run mods, but going for achievements as well.

[main jewel]

do a separate save for ittt

[karmic jay]

I may not go back..

[main jewel]

oxa prototypes stuff is really coollllll

repair kitssss

new attachmentsss

opticssss

pouchesss

bootssss

i cant wait for these guys to be added

[dull osprey]

modded xbox stalker 2 is actually ragebaiting incarnate

[main jewel]

these will be available in core too i believe

what do you mean

by thay

[karmic jay]

It’s a rabbit hole I just can’t bring myself to fall into just yet..

[dull osprey]

cause why am i crashing while buying a compass arch artifact.

[main jewel]

well finish the game first

[dull osprey]

using bartender sells all btw..

[main jewel]

might be a mod issue

also

i dont think a compass is a arch artifact

[dull osprey]

hhm..

[main jewel]

as the arch term goes to the weird ones

like bottle

[dull osprey]

ohhh, right..

[main jewel]

but regardless what all mods are you using

[karmic jay]

Savoring this playthrough. Played the game on release but was crashing every few minutes. Just got back into it and damn, it runs so much better.

[dull osprey]

i think i posted them in #en-mods-general and i just installed the clear sky graphics mod-

[main jewel]

woaahhh well after vanilla i suggest you plau with oxa like GAHHH THE CUSTOM ATTACHMENTS N POUCH INSERTS ARE SO GOOD not my screenshot BUT ATILL

[dull osprey]

honestly thought it was going to be a little more optimized than base game

[main jewel]

i hope this gets added to console

[main jewel]

mk

[dull osprey]

older shay’s living zone silver (which got removed from xbox mod browser) isn’t letting me uninstall it.. n i have no mod.io on phone :(

[karmic jay]

Is that a repair kit in the bottom left?

[main jewel]

i havw a question what console do you ise

xbox series s or x

[dull osprey]

x

[main jewel]

olay good

[dull osprey]

but i have two different consoles that i use

[main jewel]

thats tools or a repair kit not too sure

[main jewel]

woah

[dull osprey]

s and x

[dull osprey]

and a PS5..

[main jewel]

mods run like death on a series s

[dull osprey]

peculiar..

[golden gulch]

The range is unreal. Did you purchase the slug-only upgrade?

[main jewel]

soon i dont think stalker 2 will run at all on the series s

with mods

[dull osprey]

i might just run a couple quality of life mods to stop my series x from crashing every single time i open a trading menu

[marble gyro]

Change vendor items via reloading the game or listen to lexas wisdom

[violet thorn]

hi guys i need some informations anyone can help?

i was reading in the upgrade packs, something like usable in multiplayer?

[karmic jay]

Yeah, don’t realize the grip was a module, not a purchasable attachment.

[marble gyro]

Yeah, so there is going to be multiplayer in the future and the deluxe edition items you get or pre order, will also be there as like skins or guns with those attachments

[violet thorn]

oh wow thats amazing news but any details yet? like roaming the zone together?

or pvp?

[marble gyro]

It's pvp and probably artifact hunting like original stalker games

But guarantee pvp

[violet thorn]

ah ok would crap my pants if there would be a possibility like playing the game like fallout 76 with others in the zone

[marble gyro]

Maybe? Who knows

[violet thorn]

love it already lol

Anyway another question, the older stalker games looks like the came remastered i saw? Worth the money?

[marble gyro]

Yup

[violet thorn]

And which I should get? Call of pripyat? Looking for one that brings me closer to the reactor

[main jewel]

all of pripyat is worth

also on gog

if you own call of pripyat on there

you can get stalker gamma

if you have a pc

if ur xbox then ignore

besides call of pripyat

call of pripyat is worth

[violet thorn]

Gamma is modded? The remaster on steam is worth?

[marble gyro]

Get it on GOG

Steam is kinda shakey on the playability department

[violet thorn]

Hm ok the enhanced looks pretty good to be honest

[marble gyro]

Also too, if you want a pure stalker sandbox on GOG site you can get anomaly and gamma mod packs, you just have to buy the game first then the mod packs will install themselves into your files, no advance modding required unless you want to

[dusky pawn]

Its not really a remaster

And id suggest SOC first and COP second

Also the reactor is probably the least interesting part of the game

Its just a dungeon crawl full of hostile npcs

[marble gyro]

EE is a remaster

[dusky pawn]

Its called that but it barely is

[main jewel]

gamma is like a really good experience

[marble gyro]

If your pc can handle it

[main jewel]

its the modded stanalone yes

[main jewel]

gamma aint too large

i think

i think gamma is pretty playable compared to stalker 2

like im sure if you can run stalker 2 you can run gamma

https://tenor.com/view/the-quintessential-quintuplets-itsuki-nakano-gotoubun-no-hanayome-gif-13075274573322027537

[marble gyro]

170gb, 16gb ram minimum, and GTX 1650 ryzen 5 or I5

[main jewel]

i think people who play stalker 2 have that

[marble gyro]

And that is just the minimum

Goodnight stalkers

[main jewel]

night

[dusky pawn]

Yeah gamma runs a bit better than s2

Unless you install one billion super realistic shaders ofc

[blazing ingot]

I have worse performance on GAMMA than on Stalker 2.
S2: 70-90fps with dips to 40fps
GAMMA: 40-50fps with dips to 20fps.

I have an old gaming laptop (7 years old) that couldnt run S2 at all and ran gamma fine

Like it literally could not run zalissya

[main jewel]

that’s interesting

maybe anything stalker related is a anomaly in itself

and every copy plays differently

[wicked magnet]

What mods can potentially be made on the UE5 that are impossible to make on the X-Ray?

[stark crescent]

anyone know what the requirement is for the "repair all equipped" button to appear? its there on one save, but not on a newer play through

[robust pendant]

Coop

Not exactly impossible on xray but iirc requires engine changes for it to be possible, so its technically impossible on the vanilla version

[modest notch]

During the emission am i supposed to take shelter in a building that has no windows?

[stark crescent]

technically, everything thats thick enough between you and the emission source is enough to protect you. lore wise. so concrete can block the radiation. but thats too much coding, now init?

so there are specially designated spots where you can hide from the emission. these are hard coded to be a shelter. stuff like bunkers, buildings, caves

[modest notch]

The only shelter closer to me is wooden house
And the save is like 20 seconds before the emission is announced 😒

[stark crescent]

developers were careful to make sure that you are within walking distance of any nearby shelter when an emission happens. unless you are overweight

[modest notch]

Im near kopachi
Will go back to reloading point

[stark crescent]

hi there. welcome to the discord

[stark marsh]

Hello, i came from no where

Really russians like that much pirates?

[wicked magnet]

Weapon dropping like in GTA 4

[robust pendant]

Reload speed idk, but aiming animations Im pretty sure that can be done in vanilla

Its just an animation after all. Unless you mean something really specific

[hybrid tangle]

W A-Life

[robust pendant]

I know that zero investment changes the speed velocity of npcs, so maybe reload speed can be changed through engine tweaks? Idk

I know that the creator also doesn't know about coding/knows very little because she hates it, so it might not be too hard

[hybrid tangle]

it's not hard, at all.

[robust pendant]

Its hard for the average me

[iron wind]

game usually gives you a mark on the map where to take cover

[modest notch]

Thnx didn’t know

im new on it

yes. i welcomed you because you were new to the discord.

[stark crescent]

IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR, WHERE IS MY DLC!!!!

I NEED NEW DLC TO FUEL MY ILL ADVISED FINANCIAL SPENDING HABIT!!!

[iron wind]

the better question is ... where is multiplayer?

Some of us bought the game expecting .. the promised multiplayer experience to be part of the launch vision. It was a key selling point, not a footnote. Delays and silence erode trust, and clarity matters. We’re not asking for miracles—just honest timelines and accountability.

[dreamy dagger]

Reminder:MP was meant to come SOON after the release. Lol.

[ruby gale]

With the state it was in, no way

[iron wind]

reminder: MP was there day1 for the OGs

[ruby gale]

Well day 1 was barely playable for some people

Besides, didnt the game release 2 years earlier then planned

[violet dune]

They cant make properly SP, and you ask MP...

[river chasm]

MP will presumably come but they have their focus on higher priority things

[violet dune]

16hz servers will be amazing, with super anomaly netcoding

they should scrap MP. nobody will play it

[dreamy dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-face-itstommylove-stalker-stalker-2-disappointed-gif-12854008166351178066

[violet dune]

they all focus should be properly adjust all mechancs they have so it would work like intended

[iron wind]

u mean later

bcz original date of release was like 2021?

[river chasm]

Briefly though the first solid release date was 2022

[violet dune]

first few hours into MP people gonna be nocliping and aimboting

[ruby gale]

It did go from 2021 to 2022 and released in 2024, but it does feel like it should've released in 2027

[burnt bridge]

Engine upgrade soon?!?!?

[ruby gale]

Probably not till late February or March if I had to guess

[violet dune]

ford made engine for redbull faster than... 😄

[main jewel]

i guess bro

[dusky pawn]

Lmao what you bought the game for mp ???

Bahahahahaha

[iron wind]

SP and MP

[dusky pawn]

Dude have you ever seen stalker MP ?

[iron wind]

I even played the OG from the disk little child

[dusky pawn]

It was abysmally ass

I am baffled you could be excited for stalker mp when we know its NOT coop

[iron wind]

well... that's like your opinion

[dusky pawn]

YOU LIKED STALKER MP ???

can you read?

[desert zodiac]

Hey Chat .. short question .. do the legendary artifacts(Like wired nut) respawn at any point like normal artifacts do ?

[shell flax]

No

[dreamy dagger]

Who is to say my nut I wired in by accident... respawns?
WHAT SUBSTANCES YOU ARE ON....

[proven hollow]

krezzin, relax

[dreamy dagger]

Who is to say I use Xanax?

[main jewel]

the arch artifacts never respawn

i mean there supposed to be special one time alterations to materials so

not every bolt is gunna be weird

[main jewel]

i feel like some people wire in their nuts so

[dreamy dagger]

You say they wire in their nuts and cause cummingplosion?

https://tenor.com/view/bad-joke-colin-jost-saturday-night-live-trying-not-to-laugh-straight-face-gif-25915451

[main jewel]

yea

sometimes they wire them to be remote detonated

or they make them like claymores

imagine that

claymore balls

[marble gyro]

VTO V T OOOOO

For today and tomorrow

[marble gyro]

Legendary artifacts are a one time thing only

There was a bug to get heart of chernobyl a bunch of times but gsc fixed that

[ornate merlin]

what are yalls favorite steam workshop mods and what do they do?

[twilit osprey]

Stick with Shay's mods on Nexus mods man.....And wait until GSC fixes the game I've been waiting a year plus on to be fixed

[cyan sparrow]

the game still not fixed? 😮

[proven hollow]

game will never be what some people want it to be

[marble gyro]

Game will never be Gamma

[slim oracle]

Not a bad thing

[cyan sparrow]

Game is gamma

[marble gyro]

Gamma Lite version

[hoary crest]

DLC1? Nah, where the engine upgrade

[marble gyro]

Engine upgrade is not going to do much man

Everyone is in belief that the engine upgrade is going to fix majority of the performance issues and that is definitely not the case

[ornate merlin]

yall is it true that multiplayer will come? bc tbh it would be fire esp with prox chat

[hoary crest]

Idk, I'm not a developer, and I doubt you are either, but thats the biggest chance of a large performance increase that we're likely to see

[marble gyro]

The game runs fine

[hoary crest]

So.. "no i'm not a developer either, and don't know", noted 😄

[marble gyro]

I know a lot but im not allowed to share

Other than, have a realistic way of thinking, as things won't magically fix all problems, it will fix some but not all

[ornate merlin]

yall is it true that multiplayer will come? bc tbh it would be fire esp with prox chat

[hoary crest]

Its not going to be DayZ style multiplayer, its pretty much been confirmed to be Deathmatch/TDM type multiplayer

[ornate merlin]

so like tarkov arena style maybe? do u know when it will realese?

[hoary crest]

Idk, never played Tarkov arena, and no

[marble gyro]

It's going to be similar to stalker SoC and clear sky multiplayer

[ornate merlin]

ok

[marble gyro]

Factions against factions in a TDM style, we'll be lucky if they add artifact hunt mode

[ornate merlin]

is there factions u can choose from in this game? (im downloading the game right now so) and if it does what is the best faction for somone who has never played any stalker games before

[marble gyro]

Not in this game no

But you can make choices that underly the outcome of said factions

Only game that allowed you to join multiple factions was Clear sky

[ornate merlin]

ohh ok

[marble gyro]

SoC you had like a choice for I believe 3 major factions

[cobalt fiber]

In SoC it made sense not to join a faction given Strelok as a character

Same with CoP and Deggy

Skif should have had the option

[final mica]

hey guys any idea where i can farm a compass artifact?

[marble gyro]

Gravitational anomalies

[final mica]

ya but where on the map

[marble gyro]

Could try cordon

[final mica]

which spot in cordon sorry if i’m asking to much i’m new

[proven hollow]

the ribs

[marble gyro]

North of rookie village

[proven hollow]

lesser zone, just south east of zallisijah

[marble gyro]

You can farm ribs too, but Compass is more likely to be gotten at the nuclear waste burial

[proven hollow]

the deaf meadow, north east of Zallisiyah

[proven hollow]

I doubt that, I think it's the same for all gravitational anomalies

[marble gyro]

Ribs would take extensive amount of re loading and not to mention, you have to be 60 to 100m away from the area just to re roll the drop you want

[proven hollow]

why would the reloading take any more or less time..?

[final mica]

so which area will be easier to save scum farming for the compass artifact?

[marble gyro]

So like for example if you want to re roll an artifact for let's say Ribs location, your best bet to save right at the entrance of Zalissya Going toward the direction to ribs

And from there you travel all the way to Ribs and search the artifact normally via any detector

[proven hollow]

yeah, but the moment you save in rookie village that artifact in the anomaly close by is already going to be spawned, cause it's close

[marble gyro]

If you don't find your artifact you want, re load the save and make the journey to that place again and rinse and repeat

[marble gyro]

It's more common in cordon tho

[proven hollow]

no, it isn't, why would it be more common there?

[final mica]

so i fast travel to rookie village and mark the anomaly field at 150m away save and farm for it till i get it yes?

[marble gyro]

That's what it says in fextra life

Higher chance to spawn

[marble gyro]

Pretty much

[proven hollow]

highly doubt that

wouldn't it then be more common in more difficult areas if anything?

[marble gyro]

Nope because it's a legendary artifact

[proven hollow]

so it's more common in... literally the second map after the starting zone?

[marble gyro]

It's one of a kind

[proven hollow]

the compass isn't a one of a kind artifact

the only one of a kind artifacts are the altered items

[marble gyro]

One of kind to provide maximum physical resistance

Jeez man do you like to kill the fun out of everything?

[proven hollow]

bro what

[marble gyro]

Throw me a bone here, I'm trying to make it suspenseful sounding

[proven hollow]

bro what

he was asking how to farm the artifact, hardly a suspenseful, thrilling tale

[marble gyro]

Giving the kid hope is what I'm doing

[proven hollow]

false hope, lies, deceit

[marble gyro]

The Compass artifact in S.T.A.R.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a legendary item found in gravitational anomalies, with a high-probability spawn location in the Nuclear Waste Burial area north of the Rookie Village in the Cordon region.

[shell flax]

Fextra is full of shit on a good day

[marble gyro]

Fextra helped me on souls games, and others, never steered me wrong

Oh and final fantasy 12

[final mica]

welp i made a save file 150 exact meters away from the anomaly at the ribs location south of rookie village and i keep getting the goldfish.. sighhh

[marble gyro]

Keep going, eventually you'll get a whirlwind

You'll know when the artifact changes when the spawn location is different in the anomaly field

[proven hollow]

the rarity of artifacts does depend on how far you are in the story

[marble gyro]

That's a theory

[final mica]

i have the exo suit sooo

[proven hollow]

that's not a theory, that's confirmed

[marble gyro]

By who?

[proven hollow]

by an answer in #📜┃gsc-answers a whole while back

and honestly by plenty of modders afterwards

[marble gyro]

Found mine in ribs, start of the game, after 32 loads

Never realized how racist people are in oblivion, lmao they really hate argonians

[final mica]

i’m at the deaf meadows location and i’m getting the stone heart multiple times honestly which location will get me the compass faster cause it’s different to reload a save an get a different artifact but i keep getting the same one

[marble gyro]

Just gotta keep trying

[proven hollow]

exploit might be fixed, not sure

[marble gyro]

Doubt that, works for me still

[final mica]

ya ion know about that one choom on ps5 and it says last updated was 1/24 soo

[proven hollow]

yeah i've heard people say it here and there as well, maybe only fixed on new saves?

[marble gyro]

Nope

It's tricky to get it to work, like you have to be in an exact location before you get to an anomaly field, otherwise any slight step towards it will ruin the exploit, it's tedious

[barren ginkgo]

It that anybody might care or remember from yesterday but uhhhh. I didn’t know this at all but went into reading

[marble gyro]

Because once you get near an anomaly field, the artifact is locked in, regardless if you save 100m away from it, it's that tedious

[final mica]

okay well here is my artifact set up:
Armor: Liberty exoskeleton with 4 lead containers
Wierd Water.
Hypercube
Soul
shell
and the last one i want to be the compass for max damage threshold

[barren ginkgo]

Newer rpg warheads can most certainly penetrate an Abram’s

So why is my rpg 7 not demolishing this phuckin chimera

[marble gyro]

Hope you have some radiation resistance, because compass is max rads

[final mica]

4th lead container is typing…

[proven hollow]

cause they're old soviet rpg warheads

[barren ginkgo]

It’s still a friggin RPG!! I hate chimera so much.

It’s a phuckinnnn RRRRRPPPGGGGG tf was going on in development for them to think that would be fun

[dusky pawn]

Liberty+cube doesnt give you max ?

[barren ginkgo]

I sold that pos 🤦‍♂️

[marble gyro]

Skill issue

[final mica]

the wierd water apparently is putting in that overtime

[dusky pawn]

Yes and no
Also HEAT wouldnt be very effective against soft stuff but yeah it should still kill a chimera

[marble gyro]

What's funny was too, Lexa told you a while back that it wouldn't work

[dusky pawn]

Overall rpgs and ugbls are super weak

[barren ginkgo]

He did

[dusky pawn]

Also they have fuze activation distance for some reason

Like its not a bad feature im.just surprised they cared

[barren ginkgo]

I seen yt vid homie hit chimera like 9 or 10 times or more with the rail gun and it finally died…

Like wtf

[dusky pawn]

Gauss one shot headshots them

Even on master it one or two shots

[marble gyro]

Again like I said to people, skill issue

[barren ginkgo]

Well I’m sircaa rn

And I just ran from the dam thing

[final mica]

i’m 150meters away from the deaf meadows one should i try the waste burial one if it is a better chance to get the compass?

[dusky pawn]

Wait did you try to fight the swamp one ?

[barren ginkgo]

Homie I blasted it in the face with TWO rpg rounds

[marble gyro]

Takes 6

[barren ginkgo]

Yes the swamp one. PHUCK that thing

[marble gyro]

Depending on difficulty too

[dusky pawn]

Bro you are meant to run away from that one

[barren ginkgo]

Unloaded 331 556 rounds m855 like 30 shotgun shells two rpg f1 grenades

[marble gyro]

Yeah

[cobalt fiber]

All mutants are sponges compared to the trilogy

[barren ginkgo]

.45 acp

[cobalt fiber]

Chimera was light work in CoP

[barren ginkgo]

Nothing killed it I was pissed

[marble gyro]

Lmao! SoC would like to have a word with you

That chimera in the bunker would not die

[barren ginkgo]

Every mutant in COP was cop was my favorite one I didn’t care for the original or clear sky

[dusky pawn]

There are no chimeras in soc

[marble gyro]

On master especially

[cobalt fiber]

Chimeras are only in cop and hoc bro

[barren ginkgo]

Like when I complete the game that will be my new crusade. Killing every mutant I can find

Especially the chimeras

[dusky pawn]

Bro you are legit meant to run from that chimera its not that deep

[marble gyro]

Wait then what was that giant mutant near the area where you fight the polter?

[barren ginkgo]

And what’s the other one called ? Bigger and even more spongey ? Giant something?

[dusky pawn]

Thats why the emission triggers

Pseudogiant

[barren ginkgo]

I found that quite coincidental I figured that’s what was going on on

[marble gyro]

That's a pseudo giant? Well fųck me to hell and back then mb

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah giants were easy in soc tbh

Compared to hoc

[dusky pawn]

Yeah

And there were what two ?
One in yantar and one in some bunker

[marble gyro]

On master. I couldn't kill it with the tunder and 4 rpg rounds

[barren ginkgo]

Pseudo giant haven’t run into one yet if I can’t take a chimera I’m not too keen on meeting a giant

[cobalt fiber]

The only giant that was a pain in the ass in trilogy was the one in cop when chasing the gauss documents

That mf was a sponge

[marble gyro]

I had to lob all my rgd5s at it

[barren ginkgo]

Oh that thing in cop getting docs was easy as hell just ate all my ammo

[cobalt fiber]

But you’re also not meant to kill that one in cop

[barren ginkgo]

Walk backwards continuously while spraying it in the face

[cobalt fiber]

Youre meant to navigate the pipes etc

So

[dusky pawn]

Giants are harder imo you can easily outmanouver chimeras if you have stairs and just saiga them to death but pseudos can AOE you

[barren ginkgo]

Took all my ammo but the $hite stain died

[cobalt fiber]

Chimeras in hoc are stupidly hard

They always leaped but Jesus Christ

[dusky pawn]

Yeah they have auto aim now

[marble gyro]

Gsc should fix that hopefully

[cobalt fiber]

The cop ones were ez as pie

[barren ginkgo]

I don’t like that they knock you over AND keep attacking while ur tryna get up

[dusky pawn]

Cop chimeras/gamma chimeras are super easy to sidestep

[cobalt fiber]

Especially the one near the oasis

You could just sit under the pipes

[barren ginkgo]

It’s quite cheap imo

[dusky pawn]

Yeah thats also the case with bloodsuckers and imo it should be changed

[marble gyro]

It's more cheap when bloodsuckers used to do that

[dusky pawn]

They still do

[barren ginkgo]

GSC just needs to change the entire mutant system. They’re garbage now compared to the other games

[dusky pawn]

Yeah no

[marble gyro]

Not as much, now they are varied in how they attack

[barren ginkgo]

The blood sucker is a big one that’s dumb used to be a little more to it than just blasting the crap out of it

[marble gyro]

Before it was major spam

[barren ginkgo]

I stand in one place wait for it to approach and just slam it with lead and it dies not only that but the scream is dumb literally lets you know it’s coming and it’s supposed to be a stealth enemy

[dusky pawn]

Bro bloodsuckers in og only circled you and periodically attacked also their cloaking was terrible

[marble gyro]

You mean when they used to suck your face while you are bleeding and one shot you in COP?

[barren ginkgo]

Yup

But they were stealthy and quiet

Now they’re loud as hell and not stealthy at all

[marble gyro]

Stealthy and quiet??? I dunno man felt like they were breathing on the mic after running 4 miles to get you

You could hear a bloodsucker a mile away on COP

[dusky pawn]

They were not stealthy also this is the choice of the devs that clearly wanted this S2 to lean more into horror

[barren ginkgo]

Metro or stalker

I’m a metro guy personally played that wayyyy before I even knew what stalker was

Loved those games with a passion there was some emotional and moral content there too, some meaning.

[marble gyro]

Last light, all time favorite

[barren ginkgo]

Stalker seems cut throat and just hey here’s a radiated area with monsters and thugs. Go have fun

[marble gyro]

Thats COP mainly

[barren ginkgo]

Yea definitely the meaning and deeper emotional thought was really great for me very inward thought provoking

[marble gyro]

SoC was more story focused and like had the best atmosphere out of all of them

[shell flax]

I actually enjoy the much more aggressive bloodsuckers in 2. Like you said in the trilogy they just circled you, slapped you on the ass like once then ran.

In S2 they hit you with a whole ass tekken combo if you let them get close.

[barren ginkgo]

I always got the good ending for last light

[marble gyro]

I mean clear sky was too, to a point but not as much as SoC, amd COP is just a sandbox

[dusky pawn]

Anyway as for all mutants

1. Blind dogs are a bit harder now I guess they could get retreating behavior
2. Fleshes jumping is weird but atleast they are less pathetic
3. Boars are the same mostly
4. Snorks are way better than in og the hitbox feels better and the attacks are clearer
5. Bloodsuckers are scarier but they could fix the knockdown insta kill
6. Pseudos are better cause they arent just pathetic pushovers and they are like the only mutant where being a damage sponge feels ok
7. Removing non psi pseudogs makes sense and psi pseudos behave way more intelligently cause they hide the real one
8. Burers shooting guns is cool but they need to tone down the damage
9. Chimeras are way better than in cop with the same caveat as bloodsuckers
   10.bayuns are really cool but holy fck the damage is crazy on master

[barren ginkgo]

I like the premise behind COP lone spec ops trooper inserting into the zone to figure out what happened to some missing troops

It was extremely atmospheric for me first starting

Especially how they had you starting in the woods and with guns and he’s r

[dusky pawn]

Ohh and controllers are terrible their design has to change

[barren ginkgo]

*gear

[dusky pawn]

It is absurd that burers are a bigger threat than controllers

[dusky pawn]

I do like them also I like that the game challenges you more with them early game
Old stalkers were really catious with mutant placement

[shell flax]

It’s absurd that the mutant that can blow your melon off is more dangerous than what amounts to a minion boss usually?

[dusky pawn]

Have you read the books ?

[barren ginkgo]

I have not read them but I have heard they are better than the games

There’s more room to flesh stuff out more in the books and I also heard some events in the books happen differently

[dusky pawn]

I mean controllers are way rarer and in lore seemed to be basically insta kills for most unprepared stalkers I wish they could do damage at range or idk make you do something you dont want to sometimes

[dusky pawn]

The games are very tame when it comes to philosophy and social commentary in comparison is what I wanted to get at

[shell flax]

Gameplay story segregation. Controllers being lore accurate would just be a ‘eat shit & die’

[marble gyro]

Lore accurate poltergeists too

Wouldn't be a down time of them throwing stuff at you

[shell flax]

Chimeras single handedly depopulating small regions

[final mica]

ok so i’m at the waste burial and im getting a diff artifact each time i save scum so lets see how long it takes to get the compass

[dusky pawn]

Ok but they are pathetic

Its one of the 3 strongest mutants and its absolutely pathetic

Like wowoo it stuns you for half a second and screams so scary

[shell flax]

It also eats a massive chunk of your health

[dusky pawn]

And only does damage if you basically try to knife it

[dusky pawn]

The bolt does 0 damage in hoc

[shell flax]

And controllers also usually have small armies of zombies, hell I’m pretty sure only the one in death cave is alone

[dusky pawn]

Its just sad that the location with the dnipro in red forest is legit easier than the ipsf base in zalissya

[dusky pawn]

Ok and ? They dont do anything with them except revive them if you waste ammo with torso shots

[sick shale]

cooling towers

[dusky pawn]

Not the point

[shell flax]

Controllers aren’t designed in game to be 1v1 champions like Giants & chimeras, they’re minion encounters

[sick shale]

zombies are meat shields & distractions, the psi aura tends to do more

[frigid hill]

kirylow has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dusky pawn]

Right
The psi aura does nothing if you have pills and a random ssp/seva

Also zombies are usually also pathetic cause all the areas with them are corridors where you can just mow them down

Controllers would be scary if they occupied large rooms with zombies everywhere around but as of rn they are pathetic worthless sobs

[sick shale]

Pills yeah, the suits only delays the psi buildup from hitting "Infinite phantoms & you are taking damage" time

[dusky pawn]

The only one thats mildly scary is the mirror facility one cause its kinda cqbish

[sick shale]

how large is large?

[dusky pawn]

Like rostok ganja's bar large

[marble gyro]

Zombies are pushovers, but I feel kinda sorry for them

[sick shale]

the one controller in juipter comes to mind

[dusky pawn]

Large enough to facilitate the zombies to attack from many direction and be a threat instead of like in red forest where a conga line gets mowed by my mp5

The swamp encounter was ok

But most of the controllers are just stuck in narrow corridors and it feels really immersion breaking to stomp the top3 mutant like a bug

[marble gyro]

Man I love oblivion

It can get stupid hard at times, but it's such a good game

[dusky pawn]

I dont even remember one there

So I either missed it or its so pathetic it didnt register

[sick shale]

it is on a roof, with zombies below

first time going through there I didn't know what was happening precisely, ended up getting jumped by phantoms mixed with zombies

eventually ran off, got mind slapped and figured out it was a controller on the roof

[dusky pawn]

I dont remember that at all

[sick shale]

bread factory to memory

[dusky pawn]

I must have been there but I dont remember anything like that
I dont really remember any notable fights in jupiter it just felt like a stash checklist before pripyat

[barren ginkgo]

Does psi block help va burers

[shell flax]

No

[barren ginkgo]

also what’s best way to fight em? Shotgun to the face over and over?

[shell flax]

Pretty much

[barren ginkgo]

Grenades do much? Or is shotgun gonna be my go to

[shell flax]

They throw your grenades back at you

[barren ginkgo]

So glad I asked lmao

[shell flax]

I’m waiting for the day some mad bastard makes them able to Jedi catch RPGs

[barren ginkgo]

This one in sircaa is pissing me off

I cannot kill this thing

The crap he’s throwing at me is hitting me through concrete walls yo like tf

[marble gyro]

They should be able to, lore accurately

[barren ginkgo]

So do armor piercing 556 do well against this thing or will I be wasting them better to use plain 556

[shell flax]

ARs are for killing humans and zombies, you won’t do much to a mutant with em

[barren ginkgo]

U mean ap ammo it rifles in general

[marble gyro]

AP is just armor piercing, does jack squat against flesh

[barren ginkgo]

Figured

So is Hermann the bad guy? Cuz when he said he’d bring me back to sircaa he put in a mutant boar pit which I almost died from and then in from of a giant

Like did he mean to do that or was it just an accident or just part of the fact that process is probably very flawed

[shell flax]

Nope I mean ARs

[main jewel]

hermann aint bad

[shell flax]

As a class they aren’t great against mutants

Hermann needs to meet the good ol 45 HP

[main jewel]

hermann is just a scientist who has dreams or smth

i will always save hermann

for what he does in call of pripyat

https://tenor.com/view/hyrax-cute-fluffy-funny-gif-gif-8629422556140035462

[plain fiber]

Not gonna lie, I'd love for that to happen. I think it'd be cool.

[dusky pawn]

Best way to kill burrers is run up with a spsa and unload into their head

[plain fiber]

I wish I could save Ozersky. I always liked him in CoP.

[dusky pawn]

And yeah rn they throw sht through walls sadly

[plain fiber]

Back in CoP, the best method for Burers was rushing them with the knife and stabbing them to death.

[dusky pawn]

Yeah

Honestly burers aint bad in s2 but the gun damage is just stupid

[plain fiber]

I tried that in S2 and the Burer killed my ass. I think it's still doable, but the shotgun method is easier since you don't have to deal with stamina management because knife swings use up as much as sprinting and jumping for...reasons.

[dusky pawn]

For some reason you made me remember some video of a soc mod that basically makes the knife a giant sword

[plain fiber]

It seems to just straight-up ignore your physical protection level. Also the fact that their guns have infinite ammo and totally random magazine sizes is BS too.

I'll also complain (again) about psy-dogs being able to teleport between their copies. That's BS, and it totally invalidates rewarding the player for figuring out which one is the copy in the first place, or ambushing them.

[shell flax]

Trying to knife a burer in 2 ends with you getting punched in the nuts

[main jewel]

he kept the secret to his meds that made people invincible to emissions to his grave sadly

[cobalt fiber]

3 burers, one knife and 60 seconds in cop

Good times

[main jewel]

i wonder why gsc cut that out anyway

[main jewel]

if you loose your hands i will stroke your chin for you

[barren ginkgo]

Guys to do I rat and tell Agatha the expierment is in danger or do I side with everyone else ?

[cobalt fiber]

@shell flax send me a request bud. Since yours are disabled 😒

[barren ginkgo]

This is a really good game I can’t tell who’s good and who’s bad the others wanna keep the monolith and the zine away from ward but ward wants to use to lift mankind

[cobalt fiber]

Fuck Agatha

[barren ginkgo]

So do not side with ward?

Ward=bad keep the zone away from mankind ? Side with noontide

[cobalt fiber]

Ward & Spark are both equally bad for significantly different reasons

But I would not side with Ward for a first playthrough unless they like

Stand out to you and your beliefs personally

[barren ginkgo]

So what’s the best way to go I’m standing in front of Agatha rn

[hoary crest]

I would an all tbh

[shell flax]

Sent

[cobalt fiber]

I didn’t play ball with Agatha the first time round

I did Ward as my final playthrough

I’m not a fan

[barren ginkgo]

I mean I believe mankind should have unlimited free power and we should be getting to the stars

But at the same time science usually ends with people getting hurt and evil scientists crap

So like seems noontide is trying to keep the monolith and all the wacky stuff inside the zine and away from the rest of the world so they can live the way they have been? But also skifs house burned down like sheesh maybe we should have ward STOP that crap by harnessing the zones power

I can’t choose!!!! PHUUUUCK

[hoary crest]

You wll enter the tube and you will eat the nutrient paste

[shell flax]

I don’t like Spark or Strelok’s endings. Feels like they completely stab Skif in the back.

[barren ginkgo]

Oh yea now see whoever is gonna PHUCK skif over I’m not with them

So what’s up here which side leaves skif alive and not stabbed in the back

[shell flax]

Ward lmao

[barren ginkgo]

This bich Agatha’s glare is rilly pissing me off lmao

Dang that sucks cuz richter is with them right?

I like richter

[cobalt fiber]

For reference I did Strelok > Skif > Spark > Ward

Skif ending is in my opinion the best one

And I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being the canon one

[barren ginkgo]

I don’t wanna have to shoot richter or the strider guy but also skif is the main guy here originally came here to reconcile his house burning down

Like all this other crap REALLY had nothing to do with skif he just wants a place to sleep

[cobalt fiber]

Ward is just your typical jarhead bullshit following orders blindly for a manipulative overarching entity

[barren ginkgo]

He really shouldn’t care for any of the factions or sides

We’ll see that’s what I like lol. I like soldiering quite a bit. So if I tell Agatha about the danger ima be fighting noontide and spark? And richter

[cobalt fiber]

The unique missions you get with Ward are fun but in terms of satisfaction when it comes to endings it’s not that

[shell flax]

I look at the ward run as Skif essentially just defaulting back to his days as a marine

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah the Skif ending kinda hits hard as a rebirth type narrative

Found a new purpose type thing

[barren ginkgo]

So how do I get that ending then siding with ward and telling Agatha about danger to experiment

I kinda like korushnov and zotov

[cobalt fiber]

2 of the endings will only have choices very late into the game that affect their outcomes

[shell flax]

It’s funny to me that the ending a lot of people hate (Ward) is the only one where Skif doesn’t get royally screwed somehow

[cobalt fiber]

You can also choose to side with Ward quite late on if you don’t side with them initially

You get a last chance sort of deal

[barren ginkgo]

Yea see that’s dumb skif is us what if u were skif do u want screwed over after all that and loosing ur whole life outside zone

[cobalt fiber]

Which is where you want to make a save in the case of doing multiple playthroughs if you want to fast track endings

Although Ward is ideally something you wanna do from the beginning imo

Cos there’s a few unique missions

[shell flax]

The Zone isn’t a nice place, everything & everyone can backstab you for shits & giggles

[barren ginkgo]

I think ward is gonna be my choice here but just tell me am I gonna be fighting richter?

[shell flax]

Yes

[barren ginkgo]

Oof

[cobalt fiber]

I didn’t like richter

[barren ginkgo]

Well sorry richter orders are orders man…

[cobalt fiber]

He’s too whiney

[shell flax]

I don’t like Richter because he’s nuts

Quite literally everyone in the stalker series is some form of head case

[barren ginkgo]

Just told her about the danger

Let’s see where this goes. Kinda sad I’ll loose the tech at noontide shelter though he can upgrade the monolith suit and I use it atm

A lot

[shell flax]

Harpy at Yaniv can too

[cobalt fiber]

Harpy the beloved

[shell flax]

I think Screw at Rostok too

[barren ginkgo]

Oh dope, plus kinda sucks I’ll be wasting those guys. lol. They’re elite asf soldiers so it sucks to see such waste of such great combat prowess

[cobalt fiber]

[shell flax]

[barren ginkgo]

Lotta time it took to make such great combatants and they’re all gonna get wasted by me 🤣

That’s like sending spec ops to a trench in ww1 absolute waste

[potent knot]

You leave Ashot and Yar out of this 😤

[barren ginkgo]

Or like how windu sent all those clone commandos to the front line at geonosis and they got splattered after taking such a long time to create such individual and unique soldiers with specialties

[cobalt fiber]

Ganja was the only level headed guy in the zone

[barren ginkgo]

Skif is level headed asf wym

[cobalt fiber]

Bro infiltrated the zone, mowed down hundreds of stalkers cos his shitty apartment got blown up

Wym

[harsh jungle]

Deggy is pretty based

[potent knot]

What do we define as levelheaded?

[barren ginkgo]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[cobalt fiber]

Guy is just smoking the good stuff and trading

[barren ginkgo]

I mean homie id be pissed and sticking bodies in the meat grinder toon

[cobalt fiber]

He’s a real one

[potent knot]

Wouldn't almost all the traders fall into this category though?

[harsh jungle]

I don’t like Hamster

[cobalt fiber]

No cos they don’t listen to reggae all day and night

[frigid hill]

hard.reset has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[barren ginkgo]

Oh yea also I read that varan betrays you regardless I stuffed a grenade under his ass.

[potent knot]

Actually yeah good point, screw* Hamster

[cobalt fiber]

Varan is a bitch

[barren ginkgo]

So duty and freedom both have no issues with me I want a duty suit lol

[harsh jungle]

all my homies hate Varan and Hamster

[barren ginkgo]

Yea varan is a total punk him and iron I gave em a good ol f1

[potent knot]

Duty and Freedom got done so dirty in S2

[barren ginkgo]

What’s wrong with hamster ? He’s given me the most money for my sales out of every trader I’ve encountered so far

[cobalt fiber]

This is the real goat

[barren ginkgo]

Yea speaking of him that’s the guy from cop that helps you get into the underground tunnels?

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah and drinks about 10 bottles of vodka for a 2 minute conversation

[barren ginkgo]

He died almost immediately and I tried to reload multiple times so save him I wanted my whole team to make it and he just died so quickly and easily while the other guys were tanking hits

So I left it figured it was supposed to be cannon

[harsh jungle]

I just do not like him and also that ||sq where you have to save Zalyssia after the sircaa missions when hamster has the gabbaghouls to hole himself up and buy himself a bodyguard||

[barren ginkgo]

Took his machine gun and started mowing the grass

[potent knot]

He's a ||coward that locks himself up in a cellar with his goods rather than help defend Zalissya from Monolith||

[barren ginkgo]

Gotcha fair enough that is pretty &ay

[cobalt fiber]

We need a Monolith spinoff where the entire story is a mini game of praying 🙏

[harsh jungle]

I’d throw hamster in front of the wish granter or in the generators tbh

[potent knot]

They already have that it's called going to church on Sunday

[barren ginkgo]

🤣

[harsh jungle]

I don’t go to church, th monolith HATES me

[barren ginkgo]

While I do believe in god and being a decent person religion for me is wacked tf out

[potent knot]

idk if I'd go THAT far, maybe Varan deserves it though

[harsh jungle]

fair enough, we throw his body there at dawn

[potent knot]

I'm Orthodox, however I'm just making a joke there.

[barren ginkgo]

Oh gotcha lol yea I’m not really denominational

[harsh jungle]

I’m waiting for my chicken nuggets to be done in the oven

[potent knot]

Do you think they make mutant nuggets in the zone

Does barkeep serve mutant tenders

[harsh jungle]

maybe mutant chicken nuggets idk

[barren ginkgo]

I’ve got arch angel Miachaels sigil tattooed on my arm

[harsh jungle]

I got baptized and confirmed I am just not a believer

anyways I gotta eat my nuggets

[copper radish]

religion falls under the same umbrella as politics, it's a dangerous path yer going down...

[potent knot]

What sauce do you use with your nuggets

[harsh jungle]

mustard

[barren ginkgo]

Barbecue

[harsh jungle]

I’ll use barbecue if there’s no mustard in the fridge

[copper radish]

try half mustard half mayo

[potent knot]

Respectable.

[harsh jungle]

no thanks I don’t like mayonnaise

[barren ginkgo]

Mayochup is great

[copper radish]

combine all 3 🤣

[barren ginkgo]

But I despise ketchup by itself

[copper radish]

or 4: mayo ketchup mustard bbq

[potent knot]

Barbecue is a last resort for me tbh, I like buffalo

[copper radish]

the spicy one?

[cobalt fiber]

Sweet chilli

👌

[copper radish]

uh... just not with nuggets

[cobalt fiber]

Sweet chilli with nuggets is banging

[copper radish]

sweet chili goes well with yam (sweet potato)

[potent knot]

Mayochup means "sh**face" in Cree 😂

[gusty hearth]

Iiiiiiiiiiii

[cobalt fiber]

Honey BBQ is my thing at the minute

So is honey mustard
