[still current]

And what is the reason behind that? Isn't it the stupid tailoring to tactikool style that the new gen of freefire and stalcraft kids seemed to give birth to?

[bold smelt]

its the base mod gamma stole addons from is based on

[burnt bridge]

But we have tacticool on stalker 2 and it’s about to get even more tacticool

[main jewel]

gamma has 7 different types of one gun which all those types are pretty much the exact same gun

7 different l85a1s

[bold smelt]

i wouldnt call S2 tacticool, its pretty similar to trilogy

[still current]

Isn't that also a chain effect?

[gloomy hill]

Anomaly too

[visual mortar]

s2 is not tactical

[main jewel]

anomaly has less guns i think

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1308034374473617459/1488197652985155745/IMG_9009.gif

[gloomy hill]

One billion types of AK-74

[visual mortar]

same mechanics as stalker trilogy

[smoky hawk]

yhea Anomaly is shit

[visual mortar]

just streamlined

[smoky hawk]

whats the point here

[main jewel]

average tarkov

[gloomy hill]

Fr

[main jewel]

but theres too many weoapns

[main jewel]

dude im

[bold smelt]

anomaly is awesome and people think its shit because they dont understand the point of a base slate being empty and just play without any addons

[main jewel]

say goodbye yo your legs

[vernal lily]

I don't think I want them

[burnt bridge]

Well kinda. It’s not like we are walking around with pipe rifles We have new rare end weaponry with scopes lasers. Attachments

[visual mortar]

blaatrgggh i blast your head open with a retard ray

[bold smelt]

blaatrgggh

[gloomy hill]

I just skipped leg day so many times 😔

[smoky hawk]

Anomaly sucks as a base slate tho?

[main jewel]

skips

[bold smelt]

subjective

[visual mortar]

want a real free play? play Call of The Zone

if you insist to play anomaly play Old World

[main jewel]

anyway i like authentic trilogy more than sandbox slop so

[vernal lily]

cotz mentioned

[main jewel]

[smoky hawk]

objective actually, the inclusion of MLR in Anomaly has completely fucked any and all hopes for any sane moddability for it, people need to hack the entire EXE to try and add support for mechanics

[visual mortar]

hey man

..... watch it

[bold smelt]

i miss the days of making fun of CoTZ for the sake of it because its fans became just like anomaly fans

[smoky hawk]

this is contrary to OXR COC where people have done thousands of forks that are more advanced and open than Anomaly

i made the extraction shooter comment and then put gamma in the middle of it for shits and giggles

without editing it

[visual mortar]

sure

[vapid galleon]

and we believed it

[bold smelt]

im still thinking about the extraction shooter thing from yesterday and didnt bother checking what i said

most informed gamma hate

[visual mortar]

what extraction shooter thing

[charred nova]

thats how we opperate

[dire heart]

are there any high capacity saiga mags before pripyat?

[charred nova]

yah

[visual mortar]

6

[charred nova]

there is a drum and a mag

[visual mortar]

6

8

[dire heart]

ya but arent those in pripyat?

[charred nova]

yes

oh

sorry you said before my bad

[dire heart]

np

[shell flax]

CURSE OF CAN’T READ WAHH

[visual mortar]

leaper leaped at jack like a l4d hunter

[dire heart]

so guessing there isnt any before prip

[charred nova]

they may have moved the mag

out of pripyat

[dire heart]

ya im looking for one before prip because im not at prip yet

[visual mortar]

im at prip

right now

in the prip

who hangin in tha prip

[dire heart]

?

[visual mortar]

what was difficult to understand about that

[serene barn]

didn't they put things in a lot of new places in one of the updates that also made more stashes worth getting?

[regal sinew]

What new area is coming with 1.9? Anyone know?

[slow crypt]

yeap

[bold smelt]

The shooter you extract from by quitting the game

[visual mortar]

okay

[vapid galleon]

🤣

extracted by cheaters!

[crystal granite]

Is there a new area coming with 1.9? I thought Iron Forest and CNPP are the only ones we're getting for now. And they're scheduled for the Summer DLC

It'd be good to get a new area next week tho

[marble gyro]

Is that a taco reference?

Putting on the ritz?

Or harry Richman

[visual mortar]

what the fuck are you talking about

[marble gyro]

Ah, uncultured on music, understood

Read your comment, the way you structured it, add the tune, and it can sound like the song putting on the ritz

[visual mortar]

is that a taco reference?

[marble gyro]

No, Harry Richman

Sad sad, little man

[bitter plover]

Location doesnt mean Region.

Location can be anything from entire new City/hun to just one new building or even just campfire.

But Region is Region. Not just location.
Dont go that deep into it. Dont overthink it. Its just new location. Nothing huge or big.

When GSC calls something new location. Its location in existing region. If they would add new region, it will be called new rgion, not location.

[marble gyro]

Dlc it's a new region, 1.9 is a new location

Wait, wouldn't it be technically 2 new regions? Since it's Iron forest and cnpp?

[charred nova]

lymansk is a new location possibly

[marble gyro]

Oh and I dunno about you, but I think we are getting a piece of lymansk as well

[charred nova]

likely its a linear area

[marble gyro]

Yeah that

[charred nova]

like think about it

maybe how you get to the cnpp through lymansk

[marble gyro]

Cnpp would also be linear too

[charred nova]

may or may not be

[marble gyro]

What can you do in cnpp? X labs, destroyed sarcophagus? What else

[charred nova]

explore the entire complex

the actually building is huge

and we have never gotten to explore it

[marble gyro]

True we only got like a piece to explore

[charred nova]

and it looks like from the trailers we are going to get to

[marble gyro]

Or run through

[charred nova]

one of the shots is the famous mile long hallway

which is seen in the trailer

[frozen crown]

AH I want to love thjis game but it keeps doing my head in. JUST killed V the bandit leader, had a bit of a fight. Now I've gone back into the base to kill them all and some are just running right past me? Right im front of me and keep on running past seeing me too? Is the AI still this buggy or am I missing something?

[marble gyro]

Ai is buggy

[charred nova]

the ai will likely need to be repaired by the modders

though maybe gsc will finally manage to get it working good and proper

[marble gyro]

I assume that fix will come with the dlc

Like when it drops, because it sounds huge by itself

[frozen crown]

I've JUST install SHAYS ALIFE too and also NPC Combat Overhaul. But yeah, IF the base AI is still buggy like this then nothing for it...

[charred nova]

heres the catch 22

[marble gyro]

Oh then it might be the mod

[charred nova]

any work gsc does on the current build of the game is effectively wasted work

[frozen crown]

literally JUST installed those mods. AI was honestly acting like thisd before

[charred nova]

but if they don't fix it people will keep getting upset the games broken

so they can either a basically make content twice or b just do very little until the engine update is ready

and endure the community backlash

[frozen crown]

so honestly the AI is still not 100% yeah? That's the IMPRESSION I've got after 80 hours.

[charred nova]

which seems to be what they are doing

[marble gyro]

Engine update this year right?

Orrrrr end of the year

[charred nova]

[visual mortar]

yesterday

[charred nova]

man a trailer or video or something came out recently that more or less confirmed the release of the engine update i must be forgetting something

[frozen crown]

REALLY takes you out the game when you're stealthing around and 4 Bandits run up to you, stare at you, then jog on past lol

[marble gyro]

I thought that was just schizo talk

[charred nova]

dude the dlc is the engine update

the entire trailer was clearly running on the new engine

think gsc spent an entire year building the dlc for 2 versions of the engine

[marble gyro]

[charred nova]

thats assuming the engine update doesn't come out before hand

[marble gyro]

It could also be like a press build where it looks damn good on the trailer, until we get the actual dlc

[charred nova]

its the new engine

[marble gyro]

Then it looks "okay" in the game

[charred nova]

this isn't even up for debate

[frozen crown]

does anyone know- how long/far into the game/map do I need to go before I can get a silencer AND x4 ACOG for the AR416?

[marble gyro]

sigh we lost jack

[charred nova]

[charred nova]

are you playing modded?

cus if not it's not even worth it imbr the ar416 is ass

[faint prism]

there is 4x acog at the army warehouses, as an attachment to Mark I I think
a silencer is a hard one though, afaik you can only buy it at Yaniv (and Prypiat later on)

[frozen crown]

lol- modded aye, but no mods that change any upgrade etc stuff.

[frozen crown]

thanks man

[charred nova]

pretty sure it can be sold at rostok

[frozen crown]

Must admit- JUST installed that NPC Combat Overhaul and already the fights feel better. No more feckin bullet sponges.

And it goes the other way too- brutal if you take a hit.

[charred nova]

how it should be

[scarlet gyro]

Like back in the og's

I introduced my friend to stalker the other day he liked it after the lesser zone bud went straight artifact farming cuz money and got liquid rock and compass in a row the zone is truly a rng mystery

[marble gyro]

Wow, talk about some luck right there

[violet dune]

first time i got legendary artifact randomly. i felt like i won lottery

[scarlet gyro]

I got hypercube first and liquid rock the last even tho it was the one I liked the most

Last thing I know there is a stash with a liquid rock hidden on the map

[unreal basin]

How many artifacts in total are there in 2?

[frozen crown]

I played all the OGs when they came out and LOVED them. Moved on to GAMMA and absolutely love it. Was a bit of a transition to move over and tru S2 but I'm loving it- modded. It looks amazing.

[charred nova]

almost 50 i think

[unreal basin]

Considering try to get at least one of each in my next playthrough

[violet dune]

over 60 artifacts

[charred nova]

there is 69 unique artifacts

nice

i see you gsc

i see you

[violet dune]

but 80% of artifacts are useless

[frozen crown]

the Dinner For Two Artifact.

[charred nova]

true

the phyiscal damage reduction ones

[cyan sparrow]

67

[charred nova]

the stamina ones

and the weight ones

[frozen crown]

I've noticed that too- it's really weird?

[violet dune]

it fillers more or less. we would cry if only 10 artifacts would be in game, wouldnt we?

[charred nova]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1643320/discussions/0/598539452432983037/

according to this guys list there do be 69 not 67

i need to remember to hunt down all the special energy drinks when ever i finally play next

[charred nova]

well the idea of a situational buff in stalker 2 is pretty pointless

like why would you sacrifce more stamina for fire restistance

[worldly ingot]

I dread going for this because it requires a specific save for itself so you hunt down all commons before they stop spawning

[charred nova]

how does that work

[frozen crown]

urgh, do NPCs sometimes dissapear when you kill them? Just droipped someone and went to where his body should be- nothing.?

[worldly ingot]

From what I heard the game still tracks your reputation when progressing story like the old games kind of and if you already get to the point of no return you will only have rares uncommons and legendaries spawning, mostly rares and legendaries

This was a few patches ago tho so idk how up to date it is

[charred nova]

acording to the steam post at that stage the odds of finding a common is just 10 percent

[crystal granite]

So something in the lines of Kaskoviy Camp in the Burnt Forest? We'll live we'll see

[worldly ingot]

Fair, pretty low considering how many you have to hunt down

[charred nova]

like they say this but my first play through i never even found a single nightstar

[proven hollow]

Hey, can we ban @dreamy dagger please?

[dire heart]

ya i dont think theres any saiga extended mags before pripyat

[obsidian pond]

Stalker 2 doesnt look arcade

[smoky hawk]

its a pretty arcade shooter, not realistic

[obsidian pond]

So its not a tactical shooter

Im confused about this game

[marble gyro]

Jupiter, bread factory

[smoky hawk]

far from it

[obsidian pond]

So its like a bethesda game without skill tree

[marble gyro]

......no

[visual mortar]

stalker is not an rpg

its a survival horror pretty much

[obsidian pond]

Yeah so bethesda game without dialogue options and skill tree

[visual mortar]

no

[obsidian pond]

I dont understand

[visual mortar]

its not Bethesda like at all

[marble gyro]

No

It's like, silent hill without the silent hills

You explore, you are immersed

[visual mortar]

yeah a survival horror

[marble gyro]

It's a sim survival horror FPS

[obsidian pond]

But when I watch gameplay it looks like bethesda

[obsidian pond]

I dont know what silent hills is

[marble gyro]

Doubt it

[visual mortar]

how

[marble gyro]

You probably think silent hill is like resident evil

Oh wait schizo moment

Still waking up

[visual mortar]

okay but that is

[marble gyro]

Search up survival horror

[visual mortar]

[obsidian pond]

I never played resident evil or watched it

[marble gyro]

So assuming your first game was starfield

Because FPS games are apparently like Bethesda

Stalker is neither like it or similar

[obsidian pond]

https://ibb.co/FLgkZrTc

[marble gyro]

Speak with words

We don't use links

[obsidian pond]

Look at the picture, i cant send images so i have to use image upload site

[marble gyro]

Explain yourself, and we'll understand

[obsidian pond]

Wait im editing something for you

[dreamy plover]

you we're born 3 years after i bought my first PC

were*

[obsidian pond]

@marble gyro @visual mortar

[marble gyro]

Okay?? Starfield and fallout

What am I supposed to see here

[obsidian pond]

The games look similar

Wait no

[marble gyro]

Starfield and fallout look similar to eachother because it's Bethesda lmao

[obsidian pond]

I put the wrong photos

[marble gyro]

[obsidian pond]

Here @marble gyro https://postimg.cc/jDD3zvsW

[marble gyro]

The dialogue choices?

They are not the same

[obsidian pond]

No but similar type of game you can see

[marble gyro]

It's not similar

[obsidian pond]

How I dont understand

[marble gyro]

Well for one stalker npcs have like animations during dialogue that fallout npcs do not possess at all

And the dialogue outside of the choices you see, stalker has only one choice that matters, fallout has multiple choices that branch into other choices

[obsidian pond]

https://postimg.cc/WFYJ6mpd

[marble gyro]

Okay cool, you don't like it don't play it lmao

[vernal lily]

is this another bjorn situation

[obsidian pond]

No I don’t like Fallout but this game looks cool but I won’t enjoy it if its like fallout

[marble gyro]

Yup big ol r tard in the process

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/noooooooooo-gif-22984243

[marble gyro]

It's open world, you collect resources, you shoot kill shit, and loot

[obsidian pond]

So like fallout but in different world and Lore

[marble gyro]

No its more like metro with looting

[obsidian pond]

I never played metro

[wet sand]

Metro series is amazing

[obsidian pond]

I got a free key for it from g2a subreddit

[wet sand]

Nice

[obsidian pond]

But there is a lot of dialogue like fallout?

[marble gyro]

Every game has dialogue dude

[dreamy plover]

no it's more gameplay, lonely gameplay

[marble gyro]

Is this your first game?

[obsidian pond]

Yeah but like fallout has a ton

[marble gyro]

Fallout is an RPG

[obsidian pond]

Nope my most played game is GMOD SCP RP 1500 hours

[marble gyro]

Yup, first game

First actual game

Stick to sandboxes

[obsidian pond]

My first ever game was minecraft in like 2014

[wet sand]

Still a sandbox game

[obsidian pond]

I have many hours in flight sim also like MSFS and DCS

[marble gyro]

Exactly

Stick to sandboxes

[snow basalt]

I have just bought the game

[marble gyro]

Because real games, have you reading

[vernal lily]

and make you use brain power

[obsidian pond]

Does this game have as much reading as fallout

[marble gyro]

A ton

[vernal lily]

man this really is another bjorn

[obsidian pond]

Bruh so its like fallout 4

[dire heart]

oki i will go look

[marble gyro]

Yup, fallout 4

Exactly like it

C CON AND ALL

[marble gyro]

I'll link you a video

[obsidian pond]

But you said its not like it before

[dire heart]

oh i ment like before entering like the prip area

[marble gyro]

Yeah

[dire heart]

i havent unlocked that part of game yet

[marble gyro]

Oh

Wait

[obsidian pond]

How do you guys never get bored of reading

[vernal lily]

well I love reading

[marble gyro]

Yeah it's before Pripyat

[dire heart]

im trying to get a extended mag before circa

[marble gyro]

I like to learn

[dire heart]

ya but its after the train station

like i need premission to go through the checkpoint

[marble gyro]

Ahhh okay

[dreamy plover]

I'ver started playing the lost alpha for the first time today. is it any good?

[marble gyro]

Haven't tried it myself

[obsidian pond]

Someone told me
”Stalker is if you gave Fallout an Eastern European cigarette and introduced them to your babushka who just so happens to live 3 blocks over from Chernobyl”

[shell flax]

Well that someone is stupid

[wet sand]

stalker and fallout are both amazing games in their own ways

[marble gyro]

Welllllllll.....not so much fallout 4

Kinda pretty bad writing

[dreamy plover]

the one thing i can say after 10h is the combat is ruthless on master and i basically did the bandit station lol

[marble gyro]

Oh damn

[smoky hawk]

shouldnt really be trusting 13 year olds on reddit to explain to you what a game is and isnt

[visual mortar]

kill Someone

[obsidian pond]

He’s like 25 on discord

[dreamy plover]

but it's very different and you almost feel like playing an entirely new game. it's free you should try it

[smoky hawk]

a persons age doesn't change from app to app

[obsidian pond]

You guys say Stalker 2 isnt like fallout but then you cant really describe How and still describe similarities between the games

[vernal lily]

you can't always pinpoint a game, sometimes it just exists

[visual mortar]

never been a truer truther

[visual mortar]

what similarities

[dreamy plover]

stalker is stalker man. If you dont know if you wanna buy it just download some free mods and try it that way

[vernal lily]

or just, look at youtube videos

[obsidian pond]

I mean they are both same game you run around FPS combat read dialogue do quest, craft stuff, collect stuff

[vernal lily]

holy carp

[marble gyro]

Borderlands is like stalker too in your logic

[visual mortar]

this guy gotta be baiting

[wet sand]

thats just how the rpg genre is

[obsidian pond]

You said stalker is not an rpg

[visual mortar]

this is s combined psyop

run run run

[marble gyro]

Stalker is like my little pony with guns

[wet sand]

lol

[dreamy plover]

yeah it's the tiktok generation basically asking stupid obv questions to rage bait

[smoky hawk]

people already told you it didnt share RPG mechanics
to begin with stalker is fast paced and uses Equipment to demonstrate progression and playstyle, it doesnt share many of the simulation bits fallout has like stealing or pick pocketing, lockpicking, and the world is more grounded
its purely about gunplay, the dialogue is not developed ans there isnt persuasion and the like youd expect from fallout

[obsidian pond]

Oh ok

The gameplay i watched from twitch it looked a bit tactical

Not like run and gun

[dreamy plover]

yeah its tactical like mario cart dude

[vernal lily]

tactical minecraft rpg

[marble gyro]

Mixed with donkey kong adventures you just miss the bananas in plain sight

[smoky hawk]

it requires a bit more attention than call of duty but its a really arcade game
guns shoot fast, reload faster, and recovery is quick
you arent starved for resources, its squarely an action title

[wet sand]

i mean you can run and gun it...you might die quickly though and dealing with chonky mutants to

[visual mortar]

i played mario cart once is actually more similar to bubsy 3d but with less guns

[obsidian pond]

What do you recommend if i want more realism

[smoky hawk]

it wont be like gamma or like tarkov and the like, where youre bogged down by the weight of the world, but kt also wont be doom

[marble gyro]

Tarkov

[dreamy plover]

i got tom clancy vibes from it idk

[vernal lily]

touch grass

[smoky hawk]

if you want more realism you shouldn't play stalker

[visual mortar]

stalker is like Gex but instead of out of date pop culture references its dead people dying from being shot

[steep bloom]

I just arrived at Malachite 🔥

[obsidian pond]

What should I play

[smoky hawk]

Fate of the Zone

[odd sky]

You can visit Ukraine, if you want 🤗

[marble gyro]

Fuck it Vasim, get him to play gamma

He sounds like he would enjoy gamma

[vernal lily]

I loved it there, last time I visited

[wet sand]

i was born there but i would love to go back someday

[visual mortar]

ouughhh im so grokked from too much gamma oughhh

[vernal lily]

noooooooooooo not like THIS

[smoky hawk]

gamma isnt very realistic just very autistically balanced

[odd sky]

[vernal lily]

[visual mortar]

gamma

[marble gyro]

He doesn't like The RPG aspect of it tho, doesn't like reading

[vernal lily]

bro what was that reply

[visual mortar]

the fuck you mean what

it wasn't a reply

[smoky hawk]

Fate of the Zone is a COC fork

[vernal lily]

maybe he replied to the wrong comment

[visual mortar]

oh Vasim

[dreamy plover]

so if i dont like it it means i'm not autistic?

[visual mortar]

no you're autistic

[smoky hawk]

you may be, just not this niche of autistic

[visual mortar]

[vernal lily]

the wookie guy replied to the wrong comment, i was confused

[odd sky]

What

[dreamy plover]

someone once told me i was autistic then he got diagnosed himself

[dreamy plover]

what what?

[marble gyro]

Ooof what a twist

[odd sky]

What what what

[vernal lily]

now I'm lost

[dreamy plover]

you're autistic

[odd sky]

Wait, I don't get it

[vernal lily]

I don't get it either

[marble gyro]

This thing is gnarly

[vernal lily]

I don't receive a diagnosis over the internet

[dreamy plover]

I did so can you

[vernal lily]

that poor watermelon

[dreamy plover]

guys is this like stalker?

[odd sky]

I went to see a psychiatrist, she said I'm depressed

[dreamy plover]

aren't we all?

[odd sky]

Idk, but I'm almost finished my recover course

[visual mortar]

its okay Ms Annette

[odd sky]

Depression is not okay

[visual mortar]

well you tell it that

[snow basalt]

obviously the game should be taking a long time to install right? im installing it on my 1.2 TB free drive and the games only at 1 percent after like 30 minutes

[native idol]

You're installing stalker 2, correct?

Which platform?

[snow basalt]

steam

[civic whale]

if i get the ultimate content of stalker 2 after the dlc comes out, will i still get the dlc for free or do i have to get the dlc seperately?

[main jewel]

you will get it for free

[native idol]

Sometimes it takes a bit to start it fully

[snow basalt]

alr

its at 2 percent now

[twilit dome]

maybe bad internet / maybe bad data transfer to ur drive (if its call that in english)

[snow basalt]

idk maybe

[civic whale]

awesome

[snow basalt]

i got the deluxe edition what comes with that?

[native idol]

yeah sometimes it takes a lil while to generate the files it needs to download. It was the same for me, instead i use gog.

[native idol]

weapons, suits, and a bonus side quest

[snow basalt]

ooh what weapons

[native idol]

and I believe digital artbook and soundtrack

[snow basalt]

yeah i got that

what weapons do i get?

[native idol]

PTM Pistol “Monolith”, AR416 “Monolith”, Integral-A SMG “Riemann”, Lavina SA Assault Rifle “Gabion”, and M701 Sniper Rifle “Hunter”.

[snow basalt]

ooh sounds cool

welp im gonna let this install, thanksbye

[dreamy dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/big-lebowski-laughing-hysterically-gif-12793962

[crystal granite]

Isn't there a Saiga with some attachments at the end of that jumping anomaly area near the vehicle graveyard? The one where you need to jump on top of buses I think and pop anomalies as you go. Can't remember the exact attachments it comes with but worth a try if you haven't checked it yet

[marble gyro]

You're a taco reference

[visual mortar]

what the hell man

because im Mexican?

what the fuck man

[marble gyro]

Jajajaja Brazil

Oh shit I just remembered

I was supposed to make breakfast an hour ago

[dire heart]

sadly its a base saga now mods

[crystal granite]

Ah bummer

[marble gyro]

Breakfast acquired

Or should I say, Brunch acquired

[dire heart]

what food

[marble gyro]

I made a chuck steak, two eggs, Spanish rice and beans

[old aurora]

Will the Cost of Hope DLC be free?

[bold smelt]

its a DLC not an FLC

[river chasm]

For owners of the ultimate edition

Otherwise it's a paid expansion pack

[visual mortar]

what about a VLC

[dire heart]

whats a chunk steak

[bold smelt]

chuck

[main jewel]

hppmnhg

[main jewel]

chuck is a part of meat

[bold smelt]

nothing beats ribeye

[main jewel]

its budget friendly chuck is

[marble gyro]

Shoulder part of the cow, kinda fatty sometimes depending on the cut, affordable and delicious

[dire heart]

how do I side with beard and the other guy in three captains

[dire heart]

sounds yum

im sitting here waiting but the quest isnt progressing

think something is seriously wrong with my game

[old aurora]

[regal sinew]

I like a good T-bone steak.

[old aurora]

Will cost of hope cost money to buy?

[charred nova]

Yes

[dire heart]

no it will cost your soul

think theres def something wrong with my save

[main jewel]

yus

[old aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/pour-drink-pouring-alcohol-respect-gif-9283896756814937503

Damn. That's unfortunate. How much?

[main jewel]

i have ult edition so im safe

prolly around 20~ bucks

[old aurora]

What's going on with it?

[old aurora]

Hope so

[main jewel]

get the ult upgradree

[dire heart]

so firstly auto logs from the pda dont play secondly I did three captains and no matter how long I waited the quest wouldnt progress

[marble gyro]

40

[old aurora]

I'd ask the mods

[old aurora]

Proof?

[dire heart]

get the ult edition upgrade it comes with the season pass

also comes with the ult edition unique wepons

[snow basalt]

game is only at 23 percent and has been installing for like 5 hours

[dire heart]

are u living in Antarctica?

[main jewel]

lowkey that is not a stalker 2 problem

that might just be a device issue or connection or something

[snow basalt]

my wifi isnt good. after we got an addition my dad moved our wifi to the far end of the house and removed my pc's cabled internet so its all dogshit now

[main jewel]

why did he move it

💔

[snow basalt]

he moved it to his new office

[snow basalt]

its super fast up there but my pc and his office are in the literal opposite ends of the house

[dire heart]

ask him to install a WiFi booster

[main jewel]

then your cooked i dunno

[main jewel]

true

[dire heart]

ir a pass through box forgot what its called

[snow basalt]

idk

[dire heart]

it sounds like something u need to talk to your dad about

[old aurora]

well how much is my soul worth on the marketplace? That's what really matters here

[snow basalt]

ive been playing games on 100-200 ping the past few months... after i finish this match of a tower defense game hes gonna have me pause trhe download and restart our routers

[old aurora]

Nah

[old aurora]

Did you try verifying your game files and uninstalling and reinstalling?

[dire heart]

ye

[old aurora]

Idk how to help then

[snow basalt]

i want to reinstall our wired wifi but the construction guys took it out and now the wire is buried in the wall somewhere

we'd have to open the wall and reidirewct thew wire

[charred nova]

Just run a cable down the stairs

They make like 100 foot lan cables

[snow basalt]

he'd never agree to that

[charred nova]

Boring

[snow basalt]

i just want to play stalker 2 yo why my wifi gotta be so shit </3

[charred nova]

get bigger antenna for your pc

[dire heart]

look into a WiFi booster then

[snow basalt]

yeah i mean we have this uhh disc thing

[charred nova]

What

[snow basalt]

that communicates to a disc thing on the side of the house that communicates to theinternet

[dire heart]

I have a idea u got a external hardrive?

[snow basalt]

i think thats how it works, also idk if i have an external haarddrive or not

[dire heart]

basically any storage device that can hold stalker 2 on

[snow basalt]

idk im installing it on 1.2 terabyte free drive

[dire heart]

then go to your dad's pc login to your steam download it onto that then put it into your pc

[snow basalt]

we just got the drive like a few months ago and all else i have on it are peak and a few other games

[snow basalt]

i could, but it should be downloaded when i wake up tommorow or almost

[dire heart]

preferably a external that u can plug into the USB slot

[snow basalt]

i dont know anymore tbh ill just restart all this stuff after i finish this match of tdx then try to unpause the download

[dire heart]

ya no its this save file specifically my other once work fine

[old aurora]

If it's your save file you are sorta screwed. Sorry.

[dire heart]

ya i really dont wanna restart

I hope this doesnt mess with the dlc

[old aurora]

How far into it are you?

[dire heart]

im at sirca

so far its only bee a minor inconvenience

[vast igloo]

Guys

Where the script? I just join

Bc if it’s paid I’m willing to pay 🤭

[old aurora]

If someone were to disarm and drag a Monolithian out of the Zone would they revert back to normal?

[vast igloo]

What are you talking g about

[dire heart]

probs not

[dire heart]

?

[old aurora]

Why do you think so?

The Wish Granter controls Monolithians using Psi energy. IIrc Psi energy can't be used outside the Zone.

[dire heart]

they likely have some kind of fall back for that

[old aurora]

I really doubt it

[dire heart]

and whose ti say the signals only stay inside the zone

[old aurora]

You can escape the signals by hiding in bunkers

I think you could escape it by going outside the Zone

[dire heart]

yet monolith still stay controlled even in bunkers

[old aurora]

Wait hang on

No wait. I think in S2 that guy had like a thing that protected him from the Monolith's psi energy/signal

The Monolith is there to protect the Wish Granter. Which is in the Zone

I don't think they'd be controlled outside of the Zone

Psi energy can't be used outside of the Zone. And the Wish Granter controls Monolith via Psi energy

[dire heart]

tbh i dont think psi energy is what controls them its what is needed to start it sure but I dont think its what keeps them under control because if that was true monolith would never of gone back to normal because all the psi energy is still in the zone

[main jewel]

grrr

[visual mortar]

grgrggagagahgargrgrgrgrrg

[main jewel]

well the ccon controls the monolith to protect the center and the monolith rock, which btw the monolith is literally a fake rock, its quite literally an illusion and the ccon uses the monolith soldiers like straight instruments so erm

and good lord

do i despise monolith larpers

[dire heart]

was skif chosen by the zone it seems abit far fetched to say the alpha landing next to him was random

[main jewel]

maybe it was just luck or something i dunno

destiny

that sorta thing

skif had background knowledge of the zone before hand so

[dire heart]

tbh considering the skiff ending I would say the zone chose him

[main jewel]

bur the monolith soldiers are like green toy soldiers that the ccon plays around with or whatever and they worship a fake rock

and they loose all memory and cant think for themselves

they are basically zombies

[marble gyro]

But the skif ending, he doesn't reach his true goal

Finding another apartment

Therefore not canon

[main jewel]

the skif ending might be canon or the strelok one

specifically i say the strelok one is cause really what the plot can be is skif freeing himself and others from the zone

such as

[old aurora]

Not really. Psi energy can be used to manipulate people. Like it was with Monolith. It requires signals to direct the Psi energy and make people do certain things. Like it was with Monolith.

[main jewel]

going back and ripping out the heart of chernobyl and destroying it

[dire heart]

lol

[old aurora]

Essentially Psi energy acts as the force, the signals guide said force.

[main jewel]

i like the escape the zone type feel

[lost needle]

Ward ending isnt cannon cause skif gets a house not an apartment

[old aurora]

But when the force doesn't exist it won't affect them

[dire heart]

I mean in new York the pod would be rented out for like 5000 a month

[marble gyro]

SHEESH

[old aurora]

So taking a Monolith member out of the Zone by force would return them to normal

[marble gyro]

More expensive than a Metro FLAT

[lost needle]

jeez is it that bad in ny

[dire heart]

if this was true when the ccon died the monolith would just turn into zombies back the psi energy would just fry them

[old aurora]

Oh yeah. But anyway my point does stand. If you take a Mono member out of the Zone they return to normal

[main jewel]

oh yeah probably WELLL NOT NORMAL

they will probably beat your ass

or something

[old aurora]

It's very possible Ccon was using manipulating Psi energy as well.

Actually not just possible but definitely the case

[main jewel]

they become conscious again but like they will never be normal

[old aurora]

Which is why former Monolith members and Noontide members are like that

[main jewel]

true

[dire heart]

I love when skif pulls guns out his ass for cutscenes

[old aurora]

I always find it funny during cutscenes when my Skif has like a Dnipro and even a damn APSB or 1911 but pulls out his dainty little PM to fight in cutscenes

[dire heart]

ya in sirca he drops a ak on the floor

[old aurora]

The psi energy likely just disperses. If you have nothing to control the energy it just scatters

Certain things can be used as signals to manipulate the psi energy. Certain beings even have the abilities to manipulate the signals. Like Controllers.

[dire heart]

but normally if u aren't under monolith control it fries u

[old aurora]

He does?

[main jewel]

average gsc advertising the game for 2025 instead of waiting for 2027 to have your gear showcase in cutsct

cutscenes

[old aurora]

I think that is just because the signal is pushing the Psi energy into your brain

[main jewel]

doesnt he pick it up

or something

i forgot

[old aurora]

Without a signal it can't be controlled

[old aurora]

It will never not be funny

Like yes Skif, there are indeed a bunch of Snorks chasing you in the cutscene with Nimble. So totally bring out your PM instead of your Fora or Cracker

[old aurora]

At minimum I'd like if it at least showed your attachments.

[dire heart]

man playing this game on keyboard and mouse is so much better than controller

[main jewel]

true

[old aurora]

I'm a PC gamer for life so I can't imagine playing games on controller. But I was a console peasant for most of my life up until like 2022

[main jewel]

im so sad labyrinth iv is a unique during the point of no return

[old aurora]

I don't why at minimum it can't show the high cap attachment. The suppressor I understand can get in the way of some scenes but the high cap won't

[main jewel]

it does more damage than skifs pistol

[dire heart]

tbh it depends the game some games feel great on controller stalker 2 doesnt not feel good on controller

[main jewel]

and it has a double helix engraving

and a project Y emblem on the grip thing

usually where the star would be

[dire heart]

I feel bad for hurting zoltov

[old aurora]

I don't think you'd even use it then anyways

[old aurora]

Zoltov? Who is that again?

[main jewel]

zotov

probably

[main jewel]

well i would if it does more damage

[old aurora]

Oh that guy

[main jewel]

pretty much its just a better skifs pistol

and its engraved with cool engravings

[old aurora]

It's nice.

[main jewel]

yus

[old aurora]

I do find it slightly annoying that it does more damage tho

[main jewel]

hy

why

[old aurora]

As somewhat of a gun nerd that annoys me. Bullets don't magically hit harder when they're in a different gun

Damage for all guns should be the same

With the same caliber and barrel length

[charred nova]

tbh its kind of bizarre the doctor would have such a gun

[old aurora]

And some upgrades may slightly increase damage as well

[main jewel]

well yeah

[charred nova]

welcome to video games

[river chasm]

The zome has always made guns work in mysterious ways

[main jewel]

well its his gun he used when he shot at the pods for some reason

[old aurora]

Stalker 2 at least does it quite well. Doesn't really bother me there

Bethesda games on the other hand... .... ....

[main jewel]

and hes like the project Y director or something i dunno

[charred nova]

i just think its weird a scientist would have a gun themed after the project he was working on

[old aurora]

It's not themed

[charred nova]

okay word place

[old aurora]

After the project specifically

[main jewel]

not really

people engrave their pets into their rifles

or symbols of their hometown

[charred nova]

bro clearly doesn't know about 9x39

[main jewel]

i mean

its literally the most normal thing ever

[charred nova]

oh its hand engraved

[main jewel]

probably id say

[charred nova]

idk i just never even equiped it i don't think

[old aurora]

It's like a biology themed pistol

[main jewel]

but the handle having a project y thing is kinda weird

[old aurora]

It has genes on it.

[main jewel]

cause that has to be custom made

[old aurora]

If you're referring to the revolver yeah Ik...

[charred nova]

no im talking about the guns that use it

[main jewel]

from special tools

[charred nova]

all of them are terrible

[old aurora]

No

[main jewel]

WRONGGG sa-u gaibon isnt terrible

your terrible

[charred nova]

they are worse than the mk14 emr

but use a more expensive ammo

[main jewel]

dont

make

me

mad

[old aurora]

Well yeah...

[charred nova]

did they buff the Labyrinth IV at some point

the wiki says its worse than skifs pistol

[old aurora]

The EMR has a longer barrel and uses stronger ammo

[charred nova]

more common and less expensive ammo

[old aurora]

With the Labyrinth it makes sense at least (minus damage) why it's better. Same with why Skif's pistol is better than the other Makarovs

Better quality parts.

Skif's pistol was an honorary pistol. Meaning it's likely made with much higher quality parts.

[charred nova]

my biggest issue with the mk14 emr is it should do similiar damage to the SVD

at least

[old aurora]

The Labyrinth V is similar

[charred nova]

but it does way less damage than a SVD

[old aurora]

Yeah that's fair. 9x39 should be much more common and less expensive

[charred nova]

i mean it should hit pretty hard

[old aurora]

The Barrel length is much shorter I believe

[charred nova]

and it just doesn't

[main jewel]

i wish the gun looked better

cause why did they have to choose that specific green furniture thing stock whatever it is

[charred nova]

agreed they should have based it off the most modern version of it

[main jewel]

it genuinely looks ugly

[old aurora]

It does tho

[charred nova]

unless they buffed it since last i played

[old aurora]

When did you last play?

[charred nova]

1.4 or 1.5

[old aurora]

9x39 acts as like a really powerful rare round

You put in really good guns for rare big events where you need a really strong gun

[charred nova]

where is the damage spread sheet

[old aurora]

They definitely buffed it

Ik that for a fact. Since you're calling it weak when rn it very much isn't

Late-End game it may be a bit weak but for the majority of the game it's a very good round

[ancient fractal]

They should add a raygun

[charred nova]

just found it to be really expensive and totally not worth using for the damage it did

[old aurora]

I think it is much less cost-effective. But it is a very good round

It's better put in the Rhino or Vintorez

[main jewel]

aauuwwggh

tolettt

noooo

tolertt

[old aurora]

The AS VAL depletes it's ammo too quick

[main jewel]

do yall just refuse to use semi auto

[charred nova]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L6jBHJtw8AZrJZmOiFekiS2YVudHS3rQVGQN-oOaNMk/edit?gid=2000689774#gid=2000689774

found it

[main jewel]

hasnt this changed since 2024

[charred nova]

it says its been updated to reflect 1.8.1

some of the numbers seem wrong

Labyrinth IV has the same stats now as all other ptms except it can kill more blood suckers some how

wait nvm im dumb

[ancient fractal]

Where's the gersh device

[charred nova]

@old aurora if you look at the doc as i thought the grom s-15 is a way better weapon than the as val

[main jewel]

well it also takes 5.45

[charred nova]

which makes it even better still

[main jewel]

up my butt

sorry bro

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1308034374473617459/1488197652985155745/IMG_9009.gif

[main jewel]

true

[still edge]

if this spreadsheet is used to minmax in S2.... this is how fun is killed.
Before people used to play to enjoy the game, now there is a gaming culture of getting the best weapons and the best armors as soon as possible. Then people wonder why "the game isnt fun anymore"

[charred nova]

it explains the stats

because the game does an extremely terrible job explaining them

[still edge]

i just play the game and try weapons out , that looks way more fun

[charred nova]

you can play the game how ever you want

[still edge]

yes, im not saying people should do what i say , its just a thought

[charred nova]

i mean need i remind you

GSC removed the ability to view the penetration stat from the game

Probably one of the must fun early game guns though is probably the shah's mate considering how early you can get it really punch well above it's weight class

[dire heart]

so in the dlc we go back to sircca?

[river chasm]

It seems that way given it was in the trailer

[visual mortar]

in the dlc we go back to my house

[charred nova]

yah

we got to tampicos house

and there is smoothies

[visual mortar]

who's we

you're not invited jack

no perverts allowed

[dire heart]

im i allowed in?

[visual mortar]

how tall are you

[dire heart]

uh very tall standing at a strong 5 3

[main jewel]

can i be invited

[visual mortar]

too tall you wouldn't be able to fit through the door

[main jewel]

i am a whole 12 inches bigger

[visual mortar]

I don't think thats the microwave i hear

the beeping is getting quicker

[main jewel]

oh

uh

look under the bed

[charred nova]

wow im taller than someone

that almost never happens

[main jewel]

tampy

cut the blue wire

i painted the red one bluw

and the blue on re

red

[visual mortar]

gr reen

[main jewel]

goobye tamp

💔

see you in the next life

[pine nebula]

Guys how do I kill the frickin mind control psi guy in the one place in the main story in wild islands in stalker 2

Its so hard 🤕

[dire heart]

throw grenades at it or shoot it alot

[hollow nymph]

headshots with skifs pistol

[pine nebula]

That works?

I have a plan to kill all the zombies then run up to him and shotgun him

Its just the zombies that are annoying

[hollow nymph]

a lot of headshots lol, using AP ammo (at least it works for me, Stalker difficulty)

he can't yank it out of your hand

assuming burer... if you're talking about poltergeists.. those get chased down with a shotgun

[languid totem]

@main jewel Is the SVU decent against mutants?

[dire heart]

intresting good news my save fixed its self

[dire heart]

like the hunting quest line completely broke i come back to it after sirca fixed and same with my audio logs

[charred nova]

it's alright against them

[dire heart]

so as soon as I leave sirca artifacts start dropping better?

[main jewel]

its pretty okay

but you refused the saiga

so

[languid totem]

@main jewel Because the Saiga is too short range and only good at killing mutants. As I said I want a second primary that versatile at range and is good for killing both humans.

[charred nova]

svu is a scoped weapon so its not really that great for killing mutants but you can hip fire them to death if you want

[languid totem]

@charred nova I don’t hip fire. Again I want a second primary that is a backup for killing human, good at killing mutant, and is versatile at any range.

[dire heart]

does the series x not have a nvme?

[charred nova]

best bet is just use a shot gun and bring slugs

[languid totem]

Bring Slug are not effective at long range. Also again, not using shotguns. They’re only good at short range.

[tall hawk]

not for expansion slot

[charred nova]

slugs are effective at range

thats the whole point of them

[dire heart]

my pc just loads so much faster than when I played on the series x its weird

[charred nova]

series x is way slower

[languid totem]

Slugs only do more damage.

[tall hawk]

PC is just a faster platform

[charred nova]

they are a single projectile that has much greater accuracy

that is how a slug works

[dire heart]

is nightstar the best artifact for weight?

[shell flax]

Besides weird water yes

[hollow nymph]

wish someone would tell the npcs the shotguns are shit at range lol.. the one behind me trying to shoot boars 100m away is hitting me and his friends more than the damn boars lol

[dire heart]

whats weird water do

[charred nova]

if you use it and then drink all 10 limited edition energy drinks

it will give you a permant plus 5kg carry capacity

[shell flax]

Gives you +40 kg but once you hit 50 kg you get a scaling drunk effect

Jack that’s weird pot

[charred nova]

oh

[tall hawk]

you dont need ww for that, just the limited edition drinks

[main jewel]

the weird water fucking sucks

[languid totem]

Do you have a video proving this?

[shell flax]

LMAO

[main jewel]

gang just use it

[charred nova]

do i need one? do you not know how a slug works

[shell flax]

Sure yeah I’ll pull up a video of Kentucky ballistics blowing a ballistic dummy’s cap off

[main jewel]

im gunna be so for real @languid totem your on like the thinest of ice with peoples patience

[charred nova]

thats whats inside a shotgun slug

[languid totem]

Weird Water is just a weight artifact that hates you.

[main jewel]

uou should tell him about expanding dart

the mutant and human killer

[charred nova]

its pointless

[main jewel]

not for meee

[dire heart]

u obviously dont respect our opinions so why dont u just go test stuff your self

[shell flax]

I honestly think Deathguard was more reasonable then this dude at this point

He at least would give a half assed try

[charred nova]

can we unban deathguard

[shell flax]

No

[charred nova]

i think we judged him too harshly

[tall hawk]

is your brain one piece or fifty million little pieces that makes it impossible to think for two straight seconds at a time?

[dire heart]

whose death gaurd and wut he do

[vernal lily]

wasn't deathguard given a chance? then he blew it.

[shell flax]

Threatened and harassed a mod alongside getting into a lot of arguments

[languid totem]

No, I just want a second primary that fits what I’m looking for.

[vernal lily]

what if bjorn is deathgaurd

[charred nova]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L6jBHJtw8AZrJZmOiFekiS2YVudHS3rQVGQN-oOaNMk/edit?gid=2000689774#gid=2000689774

[main jewel]

THERE IS NO SECONDARYYY THAT YOURRRR LOOKING DORRR

[charred nova]

here is the most detailed breakdown of every gun in the game

just go look at that

[harsh jungle]

what’d I miss

[main jewel]

JUSSSTT PLAY A DIFFERENT GAME

[tall hawk]

do you honestly think he can comprehend this many numbers?

[main jewel]

LIKE GENUINELY

[tall hawk]

he can't even rub two braincells together to figure out what a "slug" is

[main jewel]

THIS GAME IS NOT FOR YOU

[tall hawk]

Maybe call of duty is more for his intelligence level

[charred nova]

of course not but i gotta show it to him anyways

[main jewel]

now im getting pissed off

now im real mad

[vernal lily]

just pretend bjorn is invisible

[vernal lily]

He got enough help he can get, why keep replying to the guy

[harsh jungle]

what’s that sound? is someone moving ‘round?

[languid totem]

Nope, I’m not quitting S2. I like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. But the weapon balancing in 2 is trash.

[vernal lily]

like genuinely if we all just pretend he's not in chat bro is not going to keep talking trying to elicit a reply

[main jewel]

actually he might be true

he might be truth maxxing

[tall hawk]

a fraction of truth

[charred nova]

he is right but not for the reason's he thinks he is

[main jewel]

he may or may not have an iq boost

[vernal lily]

more like dumbass maxxing

[tall hawk]

this is like Patrick's brain getting plugged in

[charred nova]

except it never plugs in

I’m not going to stop until I get a second primary weapon that fits what I’m looking for. Told you I’m a hardass.

[harsh jungle]

[vernal lily]

your answer is in here or its no where

why don't you try reading

[tall hawk]

not a hardass, just a thick skull

[vernal lily]

Can't always get what you want, what are you 5

[charred nova]

instead of begging for us to do the reading for you

better yet oh i got an idea

[main jewel]

well sometimes there might never be an option

stalker isnt a loudout focused game

make what you have work

this aint cod

r6

[shell flax]

I should tase you

[main jewel]

its a story driven shooter thing

[tall hawk]

if all he wants is a loadout just run maxxed out dnipro + saiga

[shell flax]

He hates both

[river chasm]

There are enough guns to satisfy a variety of playstyles

[languid totem]

I don’t like the Dnipro.

[main jewel]

me too

i dont like how it looks

[charred nova]

the color is just not quite right

[main jewel]

@languid totem how about you progress the story until you get to the duga and then get cavalier

[charred nova]

the hue of grey they used is not to my liking

[vernal lily]

[tall hawk]

womp womp find a different gun you like

[languid totem]

If the Cavalier is not going to be effective against both human and mutants and still viable in endgame not going to use it.

[tall hawk]

you can legit just try it out

just make a save and go kill some humans

[river chasm]

The cavalier is still kinda op its just expensive to use vs mutants

[main jewel]

i dunno about expensive

butbbalright

[tall hawk]

just grind radiant quests and sell yellow guns and you'll probably have the resources to maintain and buy ammo for it

[charred nova]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L6jBHJtw8AZrJZmOiFekiS2YVudHS3rQVGQN-oOaNMk/edit?gid=2000689774#gid=2000689774 just read this

[shell flax]

There is no king of everything gun in S2 for the last god damn time. Every gun has pros and cons, nothing is the omega skull remover 9000.

[river chasm]

IDK would you rather spend .308 on mutants or 12 gauge (though I guess if you refuse to use shotguns this is a moot point)

[tall hawk]

except small issue with radiant quests, sometimes bodies disappear after I kill all enemies

[charred nova]

bro stealing my bits

[languid totem]

Not going to listen to you.

[river chasm]

This is all sorta academic since if you are playing on normal difficulty you will probably have a few hundred thousand coupons mid game

[charred nova]

do you just assume we are all lying to you?

[river chasm]

But I like to be economical in this game

UNC

PLEASE

THERES NOTHING LEFT

JUST USE THE SAIGA

I HAVE OVER 1000 hours

[tall hawk]

uh DOOOOOOD I want some advice DOOOOOOD
<Okay, here's some advice
uh DOOOOOD this isnt the advice I wanted DOOOOOOOOD even doe I asked for it DOOOOOOOOD

[main jewel]

JUST LISTEN TO ME

[river chasm]

I mean there is the EM-1, but... well, it's given to you at a point where being hilariously overpowered is not a problem

[tall hawk]

shhhh he doesn't know

[charred nova]

true we are

[river chasm]

Since there is only like 15-20 min left in the game

[languid totem]

No, I want a damn second primary that is back up for killing humans and effective against mutants and still viable in endgame. Without it being a lousy shotgun.

[charred nova]

the super snork blaster 9003 is actually what he's looking for

[shell flax]

I’m pretty sure besides Tejas I’m one of the highest hour counts in S2 on the mod team lmao

[hollow nymph]

is there a mod that disables the anomaly proximity beeping?

[main jewel]

there IS NONE

[charred nova]

doubt you got lexa beat

[main jewel]

THERE LITERALLY IS NON

THE SAIGA IS THE ONLY INE

[shell flax]

I’m three times her hour count

[charred nova]

[river chasm]

The point of the gun balancing is to have you evaluate the pros and cons of each and your preferred playstyle

[main jewel]

HOLY JESUS THERES NOTHING LEFT

[tall hawk]

you gotta go to furthest southern point in map

[main jewel]

THERES NO MORE OPTIONS

USE A SAIGA

[tall hawk]

deep in swamp region, then when you reach Clear Sky Base (you went there in story mission)

[languid totem]

Saiga is short range. So not using it. Still short range with slugs.

[tall hawk]

wait exactly 42 minutes and 53 seconds, immediately after jump 25 times
