I make sure to order the heaviest thing possible
spark are just a bunch of crazy people who forget to take there anti psychotic medication
i remember that Temu Lamborghini video where a dude buys one for 10€ and he gets scammed and Temu sues him
that IS cool though
well thats temu
if you buy from temu you expect to be scammed
like wish before it

also guys im gonna go camp on a mountain 970m high in some days for the first time without my parents allowance, Let's hope i don't find blood suckers or bandits
famous last words
I’d love to see the Sin faction in s2. I know it’s more of a fan made faction/cut content but something about a proper hybrid mutant dark stalker would be dope asf.
it was cut because it was bad
gsc cut them for a reason
I thought the lore etc behind it was awesome.
why they didn't bring them back in stalker 2
The divine essence of the zone an all that.
Anyone know if Lootable and Craftable Zone is working on console now?
Doing some mod research before I do another playthrough
It has been?
lowkey, it's very provable that i will encounter 3 types of snakes and 1 of them is venomous as well, but i feel too confident to get bitten, also winds there are up to 60km/h and my tent only sustains 40kmh
let's hope i find a gravity artifact so i don't fly away along side my tent
Last time I played the game was before the nvgs update
So I’m out of date mod info wise
Oh well yeah everything is nice. Although you need a mouse to use craftable zone
idk i Uninstalled S2 for Now
Oh
I do have a wireless mouse I could use
Lootable zone by itself is fine also
I think binoculars should be in battle pass
imagine
I think the CNPP should be in a battlepass
freedom is objectively the best lets be real
there is a reason when they did faction wars before release freedom won 2nd place we were never gonna beat out the loners
I was sold after talking to dude about them them sending a jackass into a minefield. Indubitably based
Yes
Freedom is pretty based
there still pretty cool in stalker 2
Freedom is cringe
but they just don't do much
but hey now they get a whole dlc
They will have their chance to be based again
TOTAL MAVKA SIMPING
Mavka Stands Please Stand Up 🧍♂️

they put 2 women in freedom
because freedom is awesome
and one of them even looks like an actual adult

K e k
Both lesbians.
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE ZONE WHO LIKES MEN???

like gsc really needs to age up birch she looks kind of out of place
You'd think that with knowledge of the Scarlet Flower being known by the public, they'd be wary of going to the Zone
But guess not
what is the scarlet flower
Artifact that "woos women". A guy in the Big Land got himself a harem actually
i think she look pretty ok.
i might be in the minority here but she doesn't even look college age but maybe thats just because she's on the smaller side
Tbf Jack, have you ever seen women IRL?
yah there is a girl in my auto class about the size of birch
Yeah, me neither tbh
idk. I personaly know women looking simmilar to her and being in full adult age. So it doesnt look any weird to me
i guess then again ive not met many slavic women
No
Spark wants the best for the zone
have you finished stalker 2
Yes
well scar is literally just wrong
Best version of the zone cones from spark
his entire ideology is a lie
As is this
well shes very real
Someone isn't getting into the shining zone 🤣
Pics or fake
Yeah, he was a chad in CS who managed to change the landscape of the swamps due to dragging his massive nuts over the Zone, but he’s past it in s2.
im not taking a photo of a random girl in my class
thats super creepy
Fake then
the few girls got it hard enough already
well considering its basically a death sentence im grateful
Spark are a bunch of nerds 


there have already been issues with other guys creeping on them why i say that
Does sidorovich not know the marked one is strelok
ugh. Damm.
money is money
Is your name that meme song?
I still feel like there is a bunch of shit that they've been hinting at below the surface of the Zone. The "she" to the "he" nahmean
My name is the patriots
being a trade school and being an automotive program it unfortunately attracts certain types of people
:0
Part bus
Glad it’s the MGS reasoning for the name lol.
i mean maybe but i think what ever faust thinks the zone is
is more accurate to what ever scar thinks it is
scar is proven to be wrong if you get the scar ending
as it basically just condems everyone in the zone to die
the shining zone is fake always was always has been
Reason: Bad word usage
why not
There’s theory’s about the subtle matter though but it’s just theory’s.
yeah. I also went to automotive school, so feel ya
Because she's fake
yeah we caught jack in the lie
Fr
True. But even in that theory, we dont exactly know how the matter would exactly work.
Do the marked one and strelok ever meet
I think there is more to it than everyone realizes, like its always hinted at that the Zone is concious or something beyond Monolith and the Shining Zone and all that brain washing jazz
Yeah.
holy fuck is that THE Paradox?
Yeahn't
Does the marked one kill strelok
Play SoC

I've played all of them
Those who know
Those who know dont know?
urgh, the marked one is honestly a far worse protaganist than strelok
jesus chrst dude what happened to you where did you go
Skif is the Strelok.
I fell into a teleporter anomaly
yeah i just finished SOC
I bet skif is strelok jr
Did you see Tachenko?
i dont like the ending, its lowkey cringe.
Daddy strelok
Which one?
There are like 7 endings BTW with two of them being "true" endings
Which? There’s like 6-7 an a canon one lol.
Bro definitely got a monkeys paw ending
“i wish the zone disappeared” then strelok eyes turn white
Say that again 
boom, reload last save.
It's not a zone, it's an ocean
Ya that is one of the false endings
Get trolled lil bro
yeah i knew smth wasnt right considering stalker 2 is literally out lmao
As is CoP
There is a whole side path to get stuff from some Monolithians and then a secret area to go to to get the true endings/Canon ending
Is that the lastest one?
Of the Trilogy, yes
i see
Which takes place in late 2012, after the events of SoC
HoC is 2021 I believe
As for how close to canon it is, that's up to you
i see
welp time to work my way up
also we need Artyom from metro to come into the zone 
Cus I’d rather not be known as the creepy guy who sneaks photos of women

Blue collar brother
thats a felony if caught dawg 💀 😭
well, depending where u live.
a mod saying ts is crazy lmao
well. I didnt end up working in that industry tho 
Maybe add "consent" to your dictionary bro, ngl

Where is it a felony to take a photo in a public place?
i read that wrong
Yeah, it's super creepy. But the people saying it's illegal are crazy misinformed lol
no worries lol
i just woken up lol
Nice to see binoculars... eventho its a trollpost...
lemme guess gsc gonna add binoculars and advertise it as a big milestone for the game
April fools!
dammit, too early you should have waited ! ! !
If it’s that type of binocular that gets added I doubt it will have the tracker built into it, hopefully an upgrade.
honestly i dont even want the tracker. Its just weird and makes no sense. Maybe some special kind of binocs or change how it works a little
Thermal and NVG built into it instead would be dope. For an upgrade.
completely agree
dont give me hope tho pls
If GSC doesn’t deliver. Postman pat will. Or modders.
Postman Pat mentioned, yes I’m old asf.
I mean let's be honest for now it's april fools but they'll add it eventually
I wonder if I should try to do a no death S2 run on Master
Or will they...
Is there any other way to play?
It would be the lore accurate run

I’m still on my permadeath Master run. Next main mission for me is SIRCAA but I’m clearing up a few of the special mutant orders for Victoria at STC Malachite for some decent bank before I do SIRCAA as I think this place becomes hostile as I’m siding with Spark.
April fool spirit I see.
Ironmans ftw.
I’ve only done 2 runs of S2, one was a Ward sided one, the other was a Strelok run
That finished
I’ve done earlier runs but ended em cause of mod updates
Ah fair, I’m just running vanilla tbh.

In my current master run I've already died nearly 100 times btw
and I'm only on the "Deal with the Devil" mission so far
Want my save file? lol
Thank you @waxen marten for not fooling us in #📜┃gsc-answers with April's fool nonsense
the translation team must've worked overtime for that one
the nuance of some of the words used is really difficult to convert
Honestly Freedom is stupid. I'm gonna be 100% honest.
The Zone doesn't bring out the best in folks and in every game we see that. All it does is get people killed, has people kill, and has taken so many lives. Duty honestly has a lot better of a goal. The Zone just takes lives and gives almost nothing. Duty is right for wanting to eradicate it.
why can scar hit through objects?
guns have penetration values and he happesn to use a high tec Gauss Rifle.
;-;
though some things seem to be as if they're not visible for the AI but are to us which somehow translates into them being able to shoot us through things they shouldn't be able to see through
What that guy said but also because of jank I'm sure
As you've noticed, props can already be thrown through walls by psychic mutants, so I wouldn't be surprised Scar wallbanging you with his Gauss was also unintentional
binoculars?
but...
stalker 2 doesnt have a far enough render range to make them usable...
enemies literally despawn at 100 meters
yeah but it might help identify people before you get into their view range

Should have renamed this server to GAMMA 3 for today, smh my head Molt
you hover your cursor over them. if it turns green, you dont shoot. if it stays white, you shoot the freaking living hell out of them cause they aint gonna ask questions
I not heb cursor. 
recticle
Stalker 3: GAMMA shadow of clear pripyat
the center cross. whatever
I hope mods can tweak the render distance
Yeah but you don’t have that on Master.
so there's this thing where some people, like turning the crosshairs off to incentivice using their optics
oh
poop heads
Cursor and compass gets disabled.
but why? why would you do that? why would you do any of that
do you have a cursor irl
So is this engine update manly going to improve upon lighting or will they be able to expand the render /spawn range of NPCs without it effecting performance too?
There is already
I would be happy if the option to expand the render range in vanilla pc so if you have the ability, you could

they added the simplest and easiest thing they could add after 1.5 year to the game and made a 5 minute video about it?
this might be the funniest thing I've seen in the game server announcements this week
do we even know if they're doing it
I mean, why did they post this then #📰┃announcement message
What are crosshairs? What's a hud?
Morning
nothing, don't care
It's come to the point I just keep an acog x4 for traveling for scouting.
you mean Binocs?
or online bubble distance
what, no, they didn't add it to the game, you silly
but if they do there better be squares around the npc's when i look through it!
It was just joke and also little tease about them being close to being added into game
they didn't even add and made a 5minutes video 🤣
🤣
Krezzin, Take pills
I mean whats the April Fools about the video?
Can you read... This is not me, foo.
well. Ppl asked for 5 mnt video of binocs, so they delivered for fun 
🤣
that's exactly the kind of reaction I expected from Krezzin lol
binocs
They are on roadmap. Of course they are doing it
Gif not works?
only unemployers can use it, oops sorry
Unemployers?
you have to get certain level on this discord server to get role, to be able to post them
yes
Oh, I just got here.
then, you have a lot of time ahead of you 

Ok 👍
EIDOLON
= one gauss shot
Funny thing, they also did a 5min video of a high detailed Knife render
Yeah but enemies don't despawn 90% of the time you point the knife at them 🤣
i should probably do some knitting
alr. Got the ending with strelok. Now wtf is it supposed to tell me?
He will always protect her.
"I always protect her 🗣️"
and?
Who?
cutting content 
An he’s a fuggin chad. 
and also What
...
why was i pinged
wrong msg
lol
bruh
well, he did already?
And he always will. Tbh I think the Strelok ending is the only other candidate for being the canon ending, along with Skif’s.
wdmy SKifs ending? How do iget it?
Does this game take inspiration from atomwaffen? I’ve noticed a lot of radiation-esque imagery
Na, Roadside Picnic.
they presented all possible scenarios from the beginning. They will proceed as they wish, and it was good that they showed every Zone end
nah, radiaton = stalker. Stalker games inspires from Chernobyl, not from any game
Well yes but a lot of factions seem to act like atomwaffen which was another reason as to why I was asking
||You must side against Spark/Ward, refuse to kill the Doctor in "The Last Wish" mission, and kill Scar.|| I’ll spoiler tag this anyway lol.
alr thx
it’s april fools day.. that’s not how the ending goes
what do you mean bro? If Stalker was inspired by something, I can onyl say Roadside Picnic. Otherwise, it's a fictional science fiction lore based on the disasters in Chernobyl
the rest is wholly owned by GSC
factions, lore, map, designs
does anyone know if someone is remaking the hands in stalker 2? i like the original exo hands/gunslinger
not a fan of the new exo hands
what even is "atomwaffen"
Not that I know of, you can be the 1st to make a ‘THAP’ mod for s2!
guys how do i upgrade my bike in the game, i have bag modifications but idk how to apply them
german word for "nuklear weapons" (but directly translated it would be atomic weapons)
atomic waffle
hmm...
vanilla models in S2 are ridiculously detailed. I doubt we'll see a lot of mods that can match that.
but clearly that isn't what they're talking about now is it
nah, trust
but fr, no clue, cant find anything on it
it was a little funny they asked if it takes inspiration from something when it's literally just taking place in the area around chernobyl which is pretty much like that lol
they are great, but i think the exo hands were a poor choice in style.
Probably talking about faction in HOI4 mod
whats HOI4
Hearts of Iron IV
Ohhhh
Yeah, no clue about that then, never played Hearts of Iron
There are tons of mods and there are some villainish factions, that are neo nazis and etc. This is one of them
I look it up and it’s just another Nazi mod

HOI4 modders try not to make another reich offshoot
i knew just bcs one of members in 100 rads bar discord is playing moded HOI 4 and i once looked for some info on it
didn't that game come out in like, 2016
the mod is even younger
like some group that wants to end the world or something like that it looks like STALKER
meanwhile Stalker trilogy was like, 2007-8-9
Atomwaffen was neo nazi group in USA. This faction in HOI 4 mod is based on that. The group was formed in 2017. So i dont know how this person though, that Stalker factions are based on that.
not only, bcs Stalker is literaly older,...but also....how are they connected
it seems a little funny to ask if these factions that aren't new ones, take inspiration from not even just a Game but a mod for that game, a game that came out years after STALKER "3" CoP
It’s a mod about genocidal nazis wanting to end the world in a nuclear apocalypse 
i'm sure real life radiation takes inspiration from Fallout, the series
So I am now doing the first raid on Duga on Master difficulty and it is a living nightmare 
It's not that bad if you have good armor amd weapons
HOI4 fans try not to be nazis for TEN SECONDS challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
My experience as well. Also HOI4 reddit.
I must say this binocular video has been the biggest most shocking reveal in stalker 2.
no they’re real and based in florida

Then they should be banished
Also why the fuck would stalker be based on a group that idolizes some bum ass failed government
I just realized someone was comparing the factions in stalker to some extremist Nazi group
yeah seems like, idk, bad publicity to base factions in your officially licensed game on a real life nazi group?
Jesus christ, he rly meant th real Neo Nazi USA group. Yeah, this is just troll
I have SSP-100M 
Also this is like Clear Sky where the grenades are everywhere 
it was more fun when we thought it was from a mod for some game...that's kind of wild to be honest.
lol
now that i finished the game what the hell am i supposed to play now huh?
now, you do it again
If you hate yourself, play it on Master
i loaded a save just to kill the Doctor to get another ending. then at some other point i started a fresh run just to side with Ward the whole way through
did have some bugs like how a bandit was supposed to be alive in a place near Garbage, held captive by Ward but he was dead no matter what i did, then i had to assault the Bandit base alone as well even though the Ward NPCs are supposed to join in the attack.
grrr
true
i could genuinely leak it all
ima do it
april goolsss
aprillll drooolssss
aprilllllll foollsss
april multitools..
Also you know this how 
A peril foals
I love that I GOT AWAY FROM DUGA, but the sniper decided to pull out the well known "Clear Sky" 
I love the Master difficulty
help
Scar reference ?
Side note: I die because the grenade SFX just does not play for some reason and I die because apparently Faust has got some god like throw and yeets it through a small windows into the building where I camp 
On threat of losing my balls I have no choice
There are worse ways to go
Gasp
why are you googling neo Nazi groups that are less then ten years old
what the sigma did I walk into
Even tho molit says that patch is coming next week, imma bet it's going to be like mid of the month like the last update
Or planning to release next week
Do you potentially sympathize with the group or agree with any of their views
Maybe next week is gonna be only the announcement
No of course not
Lololo
Hopefully not man
Because ngl, this bug I encountered the other night is freaking weird
It's been in there since patch 1.7
It's a non stop energy drink bug, where your character enters like a infinite jog state
Fair enough just gotta check
LMaOoOooooOOo
who here remembers the bush people

I had that happen before, but it eventually stopped
Screws with your aim and your stamina does not regen
I figured out how to fix it without reloading a save tho
Turns out you just have to take another energy drink again, fill the stamina bar up and expend it all
Then it will be Normal again
But still annoying for it to happen during a firefight
what? you gonna leak? 
Stop giving me reason not to reinstall
I did bro didn’t you see
Bros gotta sprinkle before he tinkles
.
no. I didnt see any body fluids leaking
don't cry dr faust, here, have a complementary Q-tip
Okay, I finally passed the first encounter with ||Faust's clones||
It was so tedious 
not from you, after seeing the betrayal with Tampico
rude
I got out the touch pen for that one too
ay no nsfw in chat jack, don't leak 1.9 on us
buys binoculars
binoculars don't exist, it was April fools joke
they'll never be added sadly unless mods
What are you talking about I have a pair in my hand right now
i meant in Fortnite
oh and i thought it was a joke that atjom can swim and skif not
Think I'm going to play some ark survival
I want to tame a dodo and feed it to a velociraptor
unfortunately you're gonna get tamed and fed to a dodo
Woah, Ark got a UE5.5 update???
unforgivable
No wonder the game looks like it runs good
Huh....maybe there is hope for stalker after all
Please fix the bug of where NPC's stand in door ways and block the exits or paths need to take to get out.
Yo guys, are they updating the engine aswell with this dlc?
It’s coming in summer 2026
im
Still UE? Or another engine
Yah they actually scrapped the entire game and started over
So new bugs i mean anonalies
No obviously not
binoculars
Nah just let me take the scope out from gun and use that instead of binoculars
sand
Both are pointless
Will i be able to drive that bandit s car that i bought then?
it will always be ue lmao they can't just erase the game
There’s nothing to look at
I spent all my money on that bandit s car
the bandit s
What car
uranium sand
They sold me a car
it's for #💬┃en_offtop you should get a warn for that where is the mod if you need one ?
Wich works with artefacts
uranium sand
Or they tricked me
only works when you put the heart of chernobyl in it
You got robbed
I think ill put some bullets into them
j
Drop an artifact on it
And it will trigger an Easter egg
easter is coming up
Really?
Yup
Ty
Something pretty cool happens
April is a joke
The Higgs boson is a fundamental particle linked to the Higgs field, an invisible field that exists throughout the universe. It helps explain why particles have mass, without it, matter as we know it wouldn’t form. The Higgs boson was discovered in 2012 at CERN using the Large Hadron Collider, confirming a major part of modern physics theory. Its discovery was a big deal because it filled in a missing piece of the Standard Model of particle physics.
WTF ARK SURVIVAL IS 200GB????
yeah it's a fat ass game
Nuh uh. It’s my birthday in 11 days. 

Fat ass game with barely any assets
I want to go back to playing ARK survival, but that game size is preventing me to installing it
And locked areas behind dlc
real
I just bought a 5tb ssd
you're sympathetic
why are you so upset about your meme getting deleted
it is what it is, just post a different one
How did you manage to buy a 5tb ssd 🤨
Check yo self befo you wreck yo self
Aka the god particle. CERN is weird asf though. You seen their opening ‘ceremonies’? Lookin like some demonic shits.
i'd love a 5tb ssd...
Me too
The WD black 5tb was like 159
there's 8 TB SSD's 😮
Because everyone treated me like a mod in my childhood and later youth, so I quickly get angry when someone does something without explanation or real reason
For console yes they do
For 3k dollars
Show me
1200 here
I'm dyslexic lmao it's a 4tb
Show me this listing
I might work there in the near future, this info scares me now
Because that sounds fake imbr
that's actually good news though... i could use one of those

do you want another info drop
This is not the price I paid for because I got it on Craigslist but still 159 for this is a steal
What ever happened to that LR-300 mod I saw someone working on months ago in en mods general?
Sounds even more fake imbr

WD? Nah man
Dude people make fake ssds all the time
That’s mad if you got a job there, I’d imagine it’s difficult to get one. They’re building an even bigger collider that spans a large section of underground Europe iirc. Or some mad shit like that.
If it works it work
I have space
Why is that so hard to believe?
From the main listing on Craigslist?
Yes
Ssds are the easiest piece of tech to fake
it's just a bunch of thieves trying to offload stolen SSD's, how is this so hard to believe?
That’s very hard to believe

Considering that ssd is currently 800 dollars the idea someone would randomly sell it for that little money blows way past too good to be true vill
Does anyone know how to get a complete fresh install of STALKER 2? Game isnt granting achievements despite having cleared the game of mods and redownloading it.
Because it's vegas dawg
You can even get a Samsung brand washing machine for $50 if you were lucky
Okay but you can’t make a fake washing machine
People always sell stuff Hella cheap because they think it's either broken
And they don't know how to Sauder
Fake ssds are effortless to make and it’s one of the most common scams
Damn man, you ever bought from a rich person before?
Yes I have
you're a suspicious person, when has anyone ever lied on the internet?!

It's not like I'm saying "yo I went to this garage sale and got a ps5 for $25"
I’ve watched someone fall for this exact scam before
I do not buy things that are too good to be true with out some ability to get my money back
If it's in my playstation reads it perfectly fine, and I have enough space to install whatever else I want
It's not a fake and I got Lucky
It wouldn't read if it was lmao
Wrong
It would say "Error 225011 device not support"
It reading is in no way a test of its legitimacy
Also wrong
Can be spoofed
Bro you are not a know it all, just stop
And I happen to know when the sun rises and when the president takes a shit on a daily
So what?
If made a mistake I made a mistake, you can't tell an autist whats right and what's wrong because they'll always believe otherwise
It works, it works end scne
huh what
Ah I see GSC finally gave us all the binoculars we were asking for 
Yes to look at all the nothing we could see with them
Gsc understands
watchable content released
what
completely incorrect
A and B conversation So C yourself out of it
With all respect
Usually when things that are way too good to be true for some people become True to them
Everything is a gamble
You wake up one morning and go to buy a TV, gamble if it's a defect or not, solution use warranty
If it breaks down
You guys ever tried Boar sausage before? It's pretty good
Not as gamey as bear
What
Why would you buy a tv as untested
Considering all you need to do to test it is plug it into a wall
No no, what I mean is, the TV you get tested or not could be a defect or factory made error, like one week it works then all of a sudden it blacks out and goes Zzt
It's a gamble if anything works or not
I wouldn't say it's almost a guarantee as you say, it's a 50-50, hell the most healthy person in the world, has a 50-50 chance to wake up not living anymore
Same with electronics and everything else, around for all we know What comes next could be a disaster or paradise
Everything, everyday, and everyone that we have is a gift

Gifting my neighbors with the Smile movie special, brb
Why aren’t these gifs working?
You don’t have gif permission til level 50
what do you mean, can't ask bro in a simple friendship request
That’s fine, but wtf is that?
wow my life and wishes has been leading up to this moment
unfortunately regular chatters can not be trusted with gif/image perms
except in off topic
For real? That’s lame af.
most servers would give you none with no exceptions we're generous here
you just gotta work hard in the chatter mines to earn your rights
Honestly good call tbh
Work hard lol it’s a discord
Thank God it's not reddit
They don't even trust me with gifs, can you imagine?
Will be a cold day in hell when you get image perms
i know you want to jack
I'd post the most amazing, groundbreaking bloodsucker gifs
Good thing you can’t post then
You barbarian
Don't do it, or you'll probably summon a Tejas stalker
just 12 levels to go judgment day is coming
Yes, yes I am
give me an exp boost
i though tejas was dead buried and cremated
he only is in spirit
legends say he still lurks
haunting the halls he once walked
wait, it wasn't tejas who got his mod stripped for breaking NDA, was it?
no
I don't know details on that
@charred nova help me out here
the tejas files are secret janitor knowledge
however he went back and retroactively purged a ton of his messages
so some of the evidence is now lost
but we know

there is some truly insane drama that has unfolded in the janitor channels over the years
criminal or just internet drama?
Drama makes the world turn
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
technically both
though i will not explain the former of those two
more or less i can guess in my mind what usual could happebn
bruh its april already and no roadmap on the horizon
u got DLC trailer. this is the whole roadmap
i dont think GSC now care about anything else
bruh they dont want my money even, there is no preorder kek
they dont know maybe what price to put
we simply just beg gsc not to get pressured by the community into dropping the DLC early
70 dollaroons
70 coupons
I hope its at least 40 bucks
i would guess it will cost same as ultimate upgrade
due to the fact the dlc costs money they likely wont let the wider testing team test it though that is of course only a theory perhaps i am wrong
ultimate includes 2 dlcs tho
I am going to go eat now, forgot I skipped breakfast
well buy ultimate, good upsell
nah, most of it is trash actually
...
only DLC has utility
so u buy DLC for 40eur let say, but not ultimate which includs extra + another DLC?
sounds like a deal
i mean not buying the ultimate edition when its on sale is kind of just ripping your self off
I've bought the ultimate.. twice.. I am sucker.
you end up paying WAY more after the fact
but I have not seen what the 2nd DLC will be and skins are meaningless
I feel bad for your bank account
so if I want tangible content, then the released DLC seems like a good option?
most of the dlc weapons are bad this is true
the best items are the shotgun you get in pripyat and the pre order tourist suit
even if it looks like a corrupted texture

if its the same price who cares?
Tourist is pre-order only, I think
yup
I care? because I do not see the value?
the tourist suit is actually really good though
in the end of the day it is me who pays the price, right?
My own bank account still is traumatized from pre-ordering stalker 2
could someone tell me how the shield of duty can be obtained?
Not too worried about that aspect of my life.
I wish the Margach D-12 wasn't so far from everything else tho. I find myself b lining it for pripyat to snag it immediately in the playthrough. XD
so if ultimate cost 40Eur and DLC cost 40Eur. you would rather buy DLC but not ultimate?
well yah
i always do pripyat early
since all the content in pripyat is basically useless
I think I just see it as a mistake, normally I don't preorder games
might as well get it early so i can use it
well yah because the value is the same at the time of purchase
But I would have pre-ordered Screamer if I had the funds/didn't buy another game
Oddly, I never go into Pripyat early, even for loot. Standing like a God in the Zone right before Sircaa atm. 9/10 non stops as well.
i simply pray they actually finish pripyat as free content
what can i say, master of the deal. i like it
I thought of breaking into there early, but came to the conclusion that it was not worth it
it is hard
Full mod falcon, dnipro, siaga, m701, 2 compass, hyper cubes, liquid rocks, weird bolt and water.. Honestly, nothing to worry about until the final bosses.
most stuff can kill you almost instantly but
thats ight
just don't get shot
plus you can use it to grab a ton of money
maybe if you come later and like buy the ultimate AFTER the 2nd DLC comes, but I dunno when that will happen, likely late 2027 or early 2028
by gunning down loads of monolith squads
Pripyat is not fun returning from looting areas wise, but it is worth just selling everything you end up looting
Thing is, there are tons of paths in Pripyat where combat is rare, even if it was a war zone.
there is the house
I remember selling 5 gauss rifles at some point in my last playthrough just from wandering around Pripyat
im sure you know
which is a gauntlet
SOOOOO much loot in there
the monolith in that building carry tons of high value guns
I clear that apartment block once a playthrough for fun on my master permadeath runs, just because I can, lol.
How many Monolith in total is in that building btw?
anyone will watch nasa today?
Seems like 2 dozen
dunno exactly maybe like 30
best uniques cause they are actually unique and not a reskin
Felt like 40 in my last playthrough
true but even then only a few of them are good
I feel like the Kindergarten has more, oddly
i wish the gray ward armor wasnt a reskin
Riemann is dope
the hunter is just worse than the regular one
Lullaby is absolute fire.
The Rieman is amazing, if you mod the rhino comp it will one shot most lesser mutants with a headshot, even bayun.
meh i like the APSB more
if you use it with ap rounds
it melts everything
the riemann is good that machararch is good THE REVOLVER IS NOT EH ITS ACTUALLY WONDERFUL hunter is as youd expect and GAIBON WAS LIKE THE BEST, when nvgs were a thing the nvg tilt aim was bugged so with nvgs you always aimed in with a scope even withiut the attachment and you couldnt tilt aim, but the gaibon could do both
Thing is, I rarely use my sidearms
it also is a pretty good gun
i feel like i remember some of them being worse because they've got things blocked and or stats are worse than the normal's
I love how the Lullaby actually has the internal suppression barrel rather than just a silencer on the end of a stock barrel.
i genuinely dont like how lullaby looks when you hold it
but
its another unique
thats actually unique
I'm the same way.
i think i just threw the gaibon in a box since its 9x39 and all the 9x39 guns i'd tried up to that point were pretty bad
well your missing out

its okay
ive not played the game seriously since like 1.4
and i didn't finish my second play through cus i got stuck in a crash loop in the final mission
A unique Kharod would be dope.
when i would load any save
it would almost instantly crash due to a giant memory leak
true they couldve done that instead of wasting the potential on a monolith 416 and shotgun monolith thing
the pm was fine
I crash maybe once every hundred hours at this point. Game seems super stable on PC and ps5 at this point, at least unmodded
yah those seem like lazy tacked on unique weapons
there not even unique
which is the best part
just a skin
its for multiplayer
but
riemann is also a multiplayer available skin i think
but
who the genuine fuck cares about arena stalker 2
all people want is co op
Which there not getting
I dont think multi-player is ever coming. That has to be on the back burner.
multiplayer was straight up gsc trying to ring in as much players as possible
multiplayer is coming at the end of the single player game’s life cycle
They have the ground work too
i dont even want gsc to add multiplayer
It was awful in the OGs, odds are they will jump the extraction bandwagon.
Artifact extraction shooter?
Sounds like it will be fun for the first few runs then immediately dies off
Might as well just stick to tdm and custom maps
It wasn’t terrible by the standards of the time but
It was born from a time where basically every shooter game needed a multiplayer mode
extraction shooters are a red herring
they almost NEVER pan out how studios hope cus truth is most people do not like them
people like the idea of them
but most people really are not into a hardcore type game like an extraction shooter
Thank God the battle royal scene is over
I think it’s the ‘gear fear’. It hinders progression.
i used to play one called Vigor. it pissed me off whenever i got killed and lost my gear.
Who has time to work 9-10 hours a day and wants to chill for an hour or two with a game to potentially be set back hours of gameplay every round you play. It’s kinda harsh.
But each to their own.
extraction shooters do not factor in casual play at all, its impossible to play from time to time for short periods, it always has to be a commitment
literally this
AKA its made for teenagers and the chronically online
arcade shooters dominate because its one of the only styles that can just be played casually for fun
arena breakout is tuff
rust
BRs are like that too but they are really gimmicky and theres a reason why only around 3 really exist to a large capacity anymore
and really only 2 in the west
pubg is basically just china now
pubg is still marginally popular in the west

but the only guy i know that played it regularly anymore was chinese
i mean whos streaming pubg anymore
streamers are not a good margin of estimating a playerbase
they are for a western player base
i wouldnt say so
i think the average westerner playing videogames is some parent playing it casually
streamers are there for people that are online all the time and able to sit down and watch for entire hours
when game be fixed?
when ever engine update drops probably
Today
playing at 60% player speed is torture
i have a bug where my charater is segnificantly slower than hes ment to be
You sure you are not over encumbered?
you have to reload a save to fix it
ya i didnt notice it so i played 5 hours with it then it happened again so i was even slower then i noticed it
has something to do with dying and saving on the same frame
use console commands to fix it
Me thinks they are on console
I have yet to see it In any of my playthrough
how
Yup console
are you on console or pc
i downloaded it on pc to try fix it but then i found out uetools is broken
The ~ key should bring up the console command
Well thats a bummer
ya apparently uetools isnt being updated anymore or something
rough
nah wont fix
its a bugged save state
i think the bigger issue is ive not yet seen anyone show for sure how they make the glitch happen
if someone figured it out maybe gsc could fix it
when it happened to me i won the arena then died almost instantly as it happened
It would be nice if they also could like post a video about it, escalating the issue
so i won and died at once
Because apparently it's an extremely rare case
then when i reloaded my new save which was outside the arena since i technically won
i was stuck in forever slow mode
And no one really is aware or knows about it
so i had to load a save 2 saves old
to get out of that
the other theory is saving while a status effect is being applied to you
like the super slowness from being really low on health
is what can trigger it
i figured out how it happens for me at least
Anyone want to run Sircaa for me? Such a slog, everytime.
Heya guys
How would y'all compare the current version to 1.3
Stabled, fixed, a must play?
Game of the decade for me... Oddly
But I didnt start to the ps5 release, and it made me go out and drop the cash on a nice gaming rig to play it.
how
its better but not finished if thats what your hoping for
is better, could be even betterer
for me its from disabling a mod i uninstall the mod then loaded into a save and it reduced my move speed significantly and it stacks
i think the easiest way to fix this
would just be to add a check when ever you load from a save
or just have it automatically reset your speed
every time you laod
that would probably not fix the source of the issue but it would solve the issue
ye
if its still here when dlc comes out ima probs just use my old save from.my first run
ill try and bring it up
It's enjoyable, but needs more tweaking
agreed, it needs more tweakers
my dude, you are just wrong and did something dangerous.
Bros kicking a dead fish
Tweakers, game has an honest to God meth head in the game. Picker over in Zaton.
you can NOT stand to be wrong
Water under the bridge pal
whatever that means
It means, that's Old news child
but ya its something with the ballistic rework mod redux when I disable it on a save that had it my character moves slower
Sounds like your file may be corrupted
if i load a earlier save and re enable the mod im not as slow
if i do it a second time I start moving at like 20% speed
the issue is
things in the game can permenantly change your character speed
but the game does not have fall back flags in the event this happens
so you are just forever stuck in slow mode
guess to fix it there would need be like 10 diffrent checks
not really
perpetually chonky
ima probs just take a break to play the gamma mod update then come back a week or 2 later to see if its fixed
the easiest fix would just be to have no check and just have it always reset your speed value
at least i'd think so
im also a total moron and know nothing about coding
Death ray when?
This is why, playing vanilla.....never goes wrong
You modify something, bound to see problems lmao
It's not the games fault, its literally the modder
imo mods are better when game updates stop.
vanilla stalker 2 is rough imbr
Modding new vegas stops it from crashing
im running like 500 mods on Vegas and I dont have stuff that goes wrong and if anything does go wrong I have the tools to fix it
Never have had that crash on me before, and I play the GOG version
Stop fibbing
Only game I probably won't ever play vanilla is Skyrim
That's insane luck then
Bro, gog games are mint
I mostly play vanilla with some weight mods
Steam games sometimes require GFWL fix
what's with the greece flag
nah thats cheating
If you gonna mod, add, don't cheat because you like to loot
WEAK SAUCE SHIT
Best country ever
Character too heavy? Pop a energy drink or two
Or 10
what
i mean in the years since most of that stuff has been stripped out
just add a option in settings to enable console commands on pc they should always be accessible imo
Tbh i have done so many filewipes i don't think my mods even work nowadays
They still persists in most cases
I only heard of people randomly reacting with a country flag on a comment they disagree with
It's bizarre that tilde doesnt take you to console commands anymore in most games.
well most games don't have the console enabled
ya i dont see why it should be enabled in every single player game so we can fix stuff our selfs
Still the second best country
Was pretty standard ages ago at this point.
it was
don't know where it first started, but just looks petty/doesn't make sense
Hated that my last run had me looking for a noclip mod that actually worked because of some terrain in the swamp. Last save was in Lesser Zone when I got the gaffers key
Would of lost 30 hours on a permadeath..
like early 2010s till the mids idk why they just stopped
I think its because at that time most titles seemed to be console ports.
i think so
a lot of games were prioritised for console releases, then had a pc port some months to a year later
Aston machan
I mean, when you start removing lean from CoD... thats the sign.
never forget
we are still battling for consoles to finally die off
some day............
probably will now that the new gen is delayed
i mean xbox is good as dead
