Rebalance is planned for all I know

[serene barn]

i wish the sheet was being worked on to get it up to date but it hasn't been updated since 1st of jan in 2025 lol.

i hope we also become able to have more free dom with optics but also stuff like missing out on better hipfire because a gun comes with a suppressor forced on.

[still current]

We have some communication between testers and QA via CMs and QA representatives, so I believe things will definitely be better

We give our feedback, and I believe it must be noted

[serene barn]

i feel like all the tips should be checked to see how many of them are even accurate to the game at present

[still current]

Thing is priority goes to engine for now cuz any other tweaks would be a waste of time since it will have to be done all over again post update

We will see after it goes live anyway

[serene barn]

like one of the tips states that there's artifacts that help protect you against Psi but that's a flat out lie.

i know this guy's video is a year old but saying to wait to go artifact hunting until you have another scanner just seems like a dumb tip to me lol. the artifacts will respawn... only thing is you might be hurt more trying to figure out where it is when you don't have a Bear Detector.

i think the devs also need to figure something out because the game rewards people too much for being an ass rather than doing good.

tip talks about how people will talk about you based on what you do but that never seems to be a thing either

another dumb thing is when you need to repair your rewards. like that 416 early on from the Poppy Field guy. like what's the point in that

i'd also like some way to know if i'm getting the best deal on items i'm selling without needing to write down how much each trader npc pays for different things.

kinda miss when foods where worth much more to barkeepers in, well at least Clear Sky had it

and CoP had stalkers in the field paying very well for ammo. maybe also guns bit i can't remember but i know they paid big for ammo.

lotta QoL that could be made and frankly should'a

[astral otter]

I dunno. I found just traversing the zone with a hilka to be pretty productive. You run faster than holding a gun, and you don't have to make specific trips to anomalies.

Like the range is twice as much on the hilka. But it's still not too far to be pointless.

[marble gyro]

Tired...

[serene barn]

A lot of the clusters that make artifacts are map marked and then you just remember where. As for speed I just run with a pistol where i put aimed movement speed on because aiming lets my stamina recover faster than if i’m not aiming but moving.

I do a lot of unnecessary loot trips…

[astral otter]

Depends what you prefer to do, but the hilka out is a valid strat.

[astral otter]

I'm the opposite of a loot goblin. If it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit

[serene barn]

As a 500h+ haver. Bear has enough detection range

[astral otter]

I never saw the point of the bear. I just had veles and hilka

[serene barn]

I put guns into a stash safe in a location in Yantar and each time I came back the game respawned the enemies so it took me like 3 back n forth trips to get all the guns back.

[astral otter]

Does gun running ever seem worth it?

[serene barn]

Well the bear is available early on really and is just the one before Vales.

[astral otter]

People bothering to sell reds seems insane to me.
Then they probably put their foot in it by selling yellows to ragman, wasting their profits anyway

[serene barn]

Yeah especially like halfway through where enemies drop better guns. Even grab certain red ones.

What isn’t worth doing is to hail food items lol….that’s something i should stop doing

[serene barn]

Some of the reds sell for around 1k. Covers some repairs so it works out really.

The toz, mp5, aku and other low tier isn’t super worth it but still helps.

[astral otter]

Just don't get shot, then repairs are cheap

[still current]

[serene barn]

But even 416s and AKs can go for like 500-600.

[still current]

Aren't

Aren't cheap

[serene barn]

Weight to value is definitely a thing.

[astral otter]

And guns are heavy. definitely don't need to gun run. I never did on veteran

[serene barn]

Like a sausage sells for like 11. Weights 0,4kg each.

Think a red pm sells for 50-60 and is 0,5

[astral otter]

It's almost like they want you to hunt for artifacts and sell them.

[summer owl]

Holy shit I think you've blown this thing right open

[serene barn]

They do hence why they respawn

I savescum a lot but its still annoying when you go in to grab it then come out with your 3 equipped guns and armor needing repairs. Vs doming some bad guys from cover or stealth and yoinking their shit

[night plaza]

what do yall think the odds of hearing about multiplayer this year are?

[still edge]

have anyone made a mod to disable the bloodsucker stun?

[charred nova]

On pc im sure

[still edge]

i hope so, thats one thing i 100% dont agree with the design of S2, to have an mutant that can stunlock the player to death is an instant fun killer

i would much rather have bloodsucker do double damage than having an stun ability

[charred nova]

Dude I’m playing atom rpg right now I love that

You get knocked down and then instantly beaten to death with no ability to stop it

It’s awesome

[fickle hill]

By Minecraft skeletons

[empty hare]

There is no cover in S2, only temporary concealment. It's also impossible to use defilade (the only thing that stops bullets is the ground) because of the extremely tall grass blocking your sightline but not the AIs

[charred nova]

It’s Soviet concrete what you expect

[still edge]

i wonder how complicated it would be to put some logic into the grass... i mean i would think of giving the grass a collision box and when an npc is aiming you and the raycast of the aim is also touching the grass, make the npc aim 50% worst

but mostlikely is different in UE engine

[empty hare]

Reforger is the same way, AI see you through grass as if it isnt there

[still edge]

just changed the sounds on my phone to the PDA sounds again because i need EVERYONE in my immediate vicinity to know i fw this

every single time my phone goes off

now i'm going to see if i inevitably forget what the sounds are even from for a bit because i'll eventually have them set as my sounds on both PC and phone for so long (i set my PC sounds as the PDA sounds again)

just wondering is stalker legends of the zone trilogy worth it on ps5 I played stalker 2 and enjoyed it but I heard people have mixed reviews on all the stalker games

[tall elk]

If u love stalker every game is worth

[marble gyro]

Controls are very clunky, some pois are missing due to disagreements, other than that, it's a solid stalker experience

[exotic ember]

okay thanks👍

[cunning lily]

Hey to all, in my Computer after like 30 minutes, Stalker 2 starts to lag and stutter. Suggestions to avoid that?

[astral otter]

Running FSR 3.1?

[cunning lily]

No i use Frame Generator

Hand on shoulder meme isn't a stalker meme, different variations of it don't make it a stalker meme

[raven elk]

Is anybody else having a glitch where enemies guns are disappearing when they die?

[proven hollow]

it's a known bug

[raven elk]

Thanks, I had just seen someone else mention it on the forums

[gaunt sorrel]

like a true freedomer, i smoked some pot before playing.

[rapid cypress]

is the A-life in the game yet? are the enemy mobs brain dead or they are smarter than release version?

[bitter plover]

Alife is on level of OGs. Some things are better, some are worse. Overall pretty simmilar. There is althought still spawner (unrelated to Alife), that randomly spawns some units for gameplay engament.
Enemy AI is good in some aspects, bad in others. Its hit or miss.
But its deffinitely better than release.

[ancient fractal]

What if instead of freedom and duty it was tung tung tung sahur and diddy

[amber egret]

Do we have any specification on the DLC release date? Like at least a month? I was thinking i would start to add few mods into the game, but dont want to download mod, update come out and all saves are broken

[proven hollow]

summer, so anywhere from june-august if not even september, might be a month, might be 4 months

[amber egret]

Thanks....hmmm, shoudl i finish this save and start a new one when DLC come out....hard decision. Tho hope that they would drop fix with mutans spawn before DLC

[raven crag]

Does anyone know if the trick to repair armor with the electrical anomaly still works in the enhanced version of Shadow of Chernobyl?

[proven hollow]

probably does, they fixed very few of those bugs

[gaunt sorrel]

i fixed most of those problems with mods

might of accidently turned the game like gamma, but in the end that's what these mods are for.

[ember valley]

guys what addons should i use on CoTZ

to have a better and fun experience

[tame panther]

The Faust bossfight is always on the second time you go to the Duga right? No matter what choices you made

[serene barn]

yeah.

first time is seeing the hallucinations. 2nd time is when you've found a way to deal with it.

Messages pour les français

Petite question : qui parmi vous joue à S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 avec des mods ? Je prépare un projet pour simplifier les traductions françaises et j'aimerais savoir si ça intéresse du monde

[kindred surge]

Is there any workaround for the spaw bug?

I just went to the north section of the waste processing station, spent some time in the facility, killed a burer inside, and when I got out there were 30 burers moving like a pack.
I ran non stop to the stone village (300+ meters) and some seem to have followed me, there were around 3.

This is my first instance of this bug I am unsure when they despawn or if this first instance already means that I will be facing 20 bloodsuckers around the map as well

[cosmic flax]

It happens to me with mercenaries.

[cosmic flax]

I think it’s a Stalker A-Life bug.

[serene barn]

it is. it's not supposed to spawn that many.

found an old video, it's a physical protection guide and some of it feels like a strange choice.

like how a helmet helps a lot against gunfire

but not against mutant attacks

[scenic quarry]

Gimme succ

[amber marsh]

why cant save, im in no combat

[regal sinew]

Expedition mode?

[amber marsh]

no

i just did the raid on garbage if that helps it tells me to talk to diode but its 800m away

[serene barn]

i wonder if the game still doesn't give you any benefit from the physical protection on a helmet against anomalies, mutants and explosions, but only works on gunfire

[rough island]

Does anyone know if the mods like better ballistics are working no last I checked it out it kept crashing game I'm not a mod guy but that one I want to check out

On console I mean

[main jewel]

it works completely fine

you mustve had other mods messing with it

[serene barn]

apparently endurance caps out with 2 Thunderberries. at least if it hasn't been changed.

[main jewel]

[rough island]

Nah cuz it was the only mod I had installed at the time it's the only mod I would care about using and I've heard from other resources that it was crashing the game because of the updates something about the latest version of the game wasn't running well with the mod

[main jewel]

erm

well it works fine for me

[rough island]

I'll check it out hopefully it works cuz I like punishing myself

I call stalker too my punch myself in the groin game

Suppose to be sunny with a slight breeze in the 50-70s this week, lets me have my nice cool sunny weather

[marble gyro]

Supposed to be sunny

But instead it's snowing

[serene barn]

i hate fighting Poltergiests man. they're so annoying hit hit and i hate the fact they do damage just from flying into you

[main jewel]

you can sneak up to them by crouching and moving slowly

they have bad hearing

after that just shoot them to death

bad sight i ment

but bad hearing too

[regal sinew]

I ended up killing the Shah and sparing Roosevelt since he gives you some coupons iirc. Playing on Master you want as much coupons as you can lol.

[summer owl]

I think they're a lot better than burers in the og trilogy at least

[frigid axle]

oh btw i finally found the mod that made me crash every time i talked to a trader or smt, it's untamed zone by greinshy or smt

like even just running would make me crash

i thought i used too many mods but lowk it was just that

hmm maybe i gotta renew my hardcore challenge, but uh the Bartender sells all mod makes me crash as well every time i trade with it so still not available to be used

wait but, that would only inflict the loadouts, not the challenge

hmm but also i cant make the players dump all their gear on the floor since 1 of the mods I'm using doesn't make me sell anything to the trader, and i dont know which one

yeah making a new Legend of the zone challenge will be tough

[serene barn]

where is it that we'd go from the normal 308 round to AP and or Flat?

AP 308 costs the same as Match 308 does. both for 10 rounds.

normal is 10 coupons less but double the rounds

[ruby gale]

I just use high quality so im not repairing my clusterfuck as often

[sage dew]

Yello! I have a question

I made it past the point of no return - decisions were made and here I am. Standing in front of portal device from Event horizon or the Contact or whatever the Gravity generator from deadspace remake you know what I mean... but there is some thing missing there.

[main jewel]

uoogh

[sage dew]

The large object thing moving looking all powerful makes no sound - no audio at all. Theres like steam and sparks going of in the large room, but other than that it is absolutely silent - I dont know if thats a design, but it looks like a glitch

is it silent for you guys aswell?

[main jewel]

erm i think its supposed to be silent or gsc didnt add the noises

i remember it being silent ngl

[sage dew]

... Well thats lame. It looked almost unfinished xD

same with the teleporter, no hum no powerful large machinery / power - quite underwhelming for a game that otherwise has excellent audio

Im gonna wait for the Engine update and then Imma report it as a glitch xD cause LOL this is weak ... we are talking climax of the 600h experience and its fartsparkles xD

[still edge]

on the hand, that flashbang anomaly is also a good example of not taking "modern players" into consideration, relentingly unfair and annoying. I think there should be some anomalies that doesnt bend to our will , it can be a good example of the Zone not taking shit from us

i agree with GSC in that particular game design

[main jewel]

i still dont know why gsc decided to not add flashbang grenades or smokes even tho the ward uses both, they would be useful as shit

[summer owl]

And fun as hell

[main jewel]

also i dont get why gsc put the sircaa suit in a hole with the insta kill flash anomaly covering the area with a fire poltergeist in a cramped hole with a ladder that you can get stuck on cause you cant jump off of ladders

[still edge]

bro grass doesnt apply any modifier to the npc aim, and you want to add smoke and flashbangs? chill!

[frigid axle]

let's add nuke anomaly, triggers a nuke every time you're in a 30m radius

[still edge]

in all honestly.... that would be kinda a cool, i was thinking what other anomaly could exist

[main jewel]

flashs could stun people

jt would be a ward only typa loot youd get

[still edge]

a bomb anomaly

[main jewel]

for killing wardens

[frigid axle]

five hundred flash anomalies

[main jewel]

flash nades would be cool

[frigid axle]

lowk we need ice anomaly but it will probably be in next dlc in the snowy area

[main jewel]

i hope something else we can use that we gavent seen comes from the dlc

[still edge]

flashbang stuns npcs with the same animation of a bloodsucker stun, easiest W in gaming history, 30 minutes programming time

[frigid axle]

lowk flash nades aren't so bad to add

[frigid axle]

and doesn't stun zombies

[frigid axle]

though i don't like that 1 weapon will be confined to the dlc, afaik the G3 or whatever was shown will be only for ppl who have dlc?

[still edge]

all dlc weapons should be base game unless if they are very unique

not a weapon thats mass produced like a G3 , that doesnt make sense to be confined to the dlc

[ruby gale]

I mean, it gets people to possibly buy the dlc for the weapon so

[serene barn]

someone told me that the M701 can 1 hit Burers in the head so i wanted to get one and now i have and i am missing an upgrade or 2 but i'm not sure if i should go for more damage via armor pen or make the gun able to use low grade ammo

[still edge]

yes, but at the cost of immersion and realism

its not realistic for a gun that is widely produced to be confined to a specific part of the map, that doesnt makes any sense

unless if its a gun with a unique modification that can only be found once in the whole map

[still edge]

most likely is tied to difficulty level nah?

[cerulean bough]

Any infos about the up coming patch?

[serene barn]

they said they could do it on Master diff and since i'm on Vet i figured it'd still work

[still edge]

has GSC said the new weapons of the dlc are locked behind the dlc? i cannot find that info

[proven hollow]

prolly engine update along with DLC

[cerulean bough]

I mean like a smaller patch. Fixing a life for example. I hate beeing chased by multiple bloodsuckers.

[serene barn]

lol, taking shelter from an emission in the barns near the Swamp and 2 bandits run in through the door. got hit once but i didn't expect it.

[still edge]

i think the problem with spawning mass mutants is more tied to alife still having limitations , GSC still needs to apply map wide npc spawn to solve that problem and wrap the whole alife situation completely, map wide spawn is the last piece of the puzzle for alife

[ruby gale]

I go for pen, mainly because of monolith being tanky af

[cerulean bough]

I am just greedy for any updates 😉

[main jewel]

all 4 dlc weapons that are currently confirmed are dlc only

[serene barn]

most certainly is lol. felt like some of the shots in the trailer was to highlight the guns

[still edge]

what a bad decision, sad

[serene barn]

ah yes.

bad decision because you gotta pay for the dlc to get some extra guns from it on top of the expanded story.

[ruby gale]

How they make money, lock stuff you want behind dlc

Not new

[still edge]

its not bad because of money , its bad because it doesnt make sense story wise

[serene barn]

why not?

[still edge]

"oh there is one town inside the zone, they for some reason have G3 weapons there, but not in the rest of the zone, i guess a helicopter flies by and drops a box of G3 in that specific location like a PUBG game"

[serene barn]

two groups who have previously been at war with each other now suddenly being able to pick up their war again so they bring in new weapons from the outside?

makes enough sense to me lol.

[still edge]

"and also , the stalkers from that specific part of the zone, they never sell or travel with that G3 weapon ,they stay there for ever so you will never see that weapon unless if you go there, makes sense right?"

[main jewel]

but every dlc does this

thats what a dlc is

[still edge]

you mean every game with dlc?

[main jewel]

yuh

[still edge]

not all games, Ready or Not releases all weapons to all players even if you didnt bought the dlcs

[serene barn]

again, the dlc is literally introducing what might be a faction war story.

[main jewel]

i dont think anyone genuinely plays this game anymore

also i think some are locked actually

[serene barn]

without the dlc there is no faction war story and thus no need to ship in new shit

[still edge]

but it doesnt makes sense for the immersion, i will buy the dlc, but still it breaks immersion to have a plot hole like that

[still edge]

if they explaine it like a special cargo with those weapons... okey i buy that

[main jewel]

oh supporter edition

evil

[still edge]

if they dont explain it , i will not like that

[main jewel]

but erm

everyone should buy the stalker dlc trust

the whole cnpp is there

and the engine update is free

like we will still get free stuff

[proven hollow]

stop lying

[still edge]

you guys fail to understand , im not talking of buying the dlc or not buying the dlc, im talking about immersion

[main jewel]

may 12th is coming up too

[serene barn]

i hope they actually like, make the areas playable and not just pulling some linear bull

[main jewel]

stalker 2 is the most immersion breaking game ive ever played

my eyeballs dont lock to 30 frames irl going into walmart

cause theres too many people around

[shell flax]

Imma be real, I have an incredibly high suspension of disbelief for the Stalker series

There’s so much shit in every game that would shatter immersion irrevocably if I didn’t

[main jewel]

its coming up guys

[proven hollow]

it'll be a nothingburger

[main jewel]

uh erm uh uh erm uh erm….

[proven hollow]

nothing ever happens lexa

[main jewel]

it couldve been tested in the zone

[ruby gale]

Dont think so

[serene barn]

i'm not even sure how much use binocs could have in S2 with the limited spawn radius

[main jewel]

sightseeing i dunno

[proven hollow]

essentially 0, which is why it's almost sure they need to fix that as well

[main jewel]

zooming in on bloodsucker cheeks

i will probably need to make a completely new save for the dlc tho

my current save is cooked

[shell flax]

My point is if you try and base your immersion on the guns (Something GSC has always taken liberties with since SoC) you are going to have your immersion shattered the moment you see your first AK-74

[main jewel]

true

the mp5 thing

[serene barn]

i'm doing my Spark run rn just to get that out of the way because i feel like i wouldn't wanna do the dlc on a Spark run.

[main jewel]

[proven hollow]

you a cooked egg now?

[shell flax]

Also if someone tries to bring up realism I will remind you we are playing Stalker

[visual mortar]

left 4 dead

[shell flax]

Unironically though armor in S2 makes slightly more sense then a top of the line exo getting folded by a homeless man with an underpowered 9x18 MP5

[dusky pawn]

Queue mirrored models that are mirrored only for the sake of more visual engagement

[main jewel]

im not an egg

[shell flax]

For reference 9x18 is comparable to .380 which suck mad ass At AP

[main jewel]

can skif get a full 3d model please

the shadows look retarded

and thats only cause skifs model looks like dogshit

and moves like dogshit

[serene barn]

nothing wrong with realism lol.

[main jewel]

when you have nothing equiped and you jog its fine

[main jewel]

but when homding out a weapon

[shell flax]

I just spent four posts dissecting the fact the guns are hilariously unrealistic

In the Trilogy too

[main jewel]

but then when you hold a weapon out the gun is like at your chin

being still as a stone

hands up in the air

and only your legs move

gsc

i beg

[shell flax]

Cyberpunk is worse

[main jewel]

please fix this

[main jewel]

true

holy skif

[shell flax]

I can forgive Skif not having a proper 3rd person model if they fix the animations

[main jewel]

true

[shell flax]

Because S2 is built from the ground up of you never leaving Skif’s pov

[main jewel]

and this makes it so no 3rd person mods come out

cause thats bad

[shell flax]

The 3rd person models for the trilogy were stiff as hell lmao

[main jewel]

well those are erm

erm

they look like they would be like that

[serene barn]

i mean sure. i'd just prefer the guns being realistically looking etc

[shell flax]

No I’m just pointing out GSC has never had a good track record with 3rd person models

[main jewel]

i mean they do have erm

somewhat

realistic guns

but

its gsc

[shell flax]

Truthfully I’m more impressed how well they’re modeled

[serene barn]

Mass-26 is somehow a semi auto gun when the handle on it is literally a straight pull bolt to cycle it

[main jewel]

average pm mag holding 10 rounds in the model

[main jewel]

this is for obvious fun aspects

i can become buck from r6

[shell flax]

Except that’s only the extended mag

It’s eight in the default

[main jewel]

the not extended one model shows 10 rounds which is physically impossible i wonder who the hell did that

MAKES ME MADDDD

[shell flax]

I don’t care lmao

I’m not looking at the mag when I’m reloading mid gun fight in stalker

[main jewel]

true

[serene barn]

i feel like mags displaying a different amount of bullets in them than what it actually holds is just something i feel like should've just been done right.

[main jewel]

[shell flax]

Maybe after engine upgrade and DLC launch

[main jewel]

well erm lowkey gsc has better things to do than model every single grain of gunpowder in a cartridge

or all of skifs toenails

[serene barn]

or how when you switch mags on guns the chambered round magically is removed for no reason

[shell flax]

Before that it would’ve been wasted man hours for something only the really detail oriented people would notice

[main jewel]

the guns are fine for stalker

WHERES MY RPD

[shell flax]

I just want my Walther PDP

[main jewel]

true

[shell flax]

I’m wondering if the people who complained about modern gear in the zone will reappear on dlc launch

[main jewel]

yup

also

ward suit exists

for plate carrer like

thing

so

amd theres a ward exp

exo

[shell flax]

I actually think the Ward suit might have some basis in a Ukrainian military rig that has extra Kevlar on the arms and legs

[main jewel]

modern gear would also crumble in the zone

or most

[shell flax]

No not really

People have this strange thought process that modern gear means hyper technology incorporated into it

The Exos use high cut helmets

Customized for the Zone but still

[main jewel]

ough

my chinese temu boots wouldnt survive tho

[shell flax]

Actual military gear would do fine in the Zone, see the Berill, it’s not the best but it’ll definitely serve you decently

Shit like thermals however would fry immediately

Uncle Lyona mentions Lens has a camera that conks out after every emission

So a Thermal would just implode

[frigid axle]

WHATTTT

[shell flax]

I don’t know why that’s a shock

[frigid axle]

pay wall ahh

[frigid axle]

they aren't unique weapons tho

[shell flax]

And?

Bro it’s part of the DLC, of course it’ll come with the DLC

[meager crag]

Fallout type deal, basically

[frigid axle]

yea but limiting the default new guns to who only buys the dlc kinda lame

[meager crag]

It B wat it B

For GSC, it's to give the consumers one more reason to buy the DLC

[frigid axle]

i aint buying any dlc if i payed 60€ for the game already

[shell flax]

Honestly I think it’d be a fair trade to lock the guns and story but open the area

[main jewel]

erm actually we see the unique g3

[frigid axle]

the point is the default is locked too

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/bigormac-triple-cheese-cat-cheese-bigorneau-chat-gif-26336184

[meager crag]

Not sure, I'd be fine with locking the story and the area, but not the guns

[frigid axle]

like Dlc seems more for map and story than for guns too

[main jewel]

also thats to be expected

i was gunna say this

can my MESSAGES LOADDD

[main jewel]

fallout 4 has default guns locked behind the dlcs

so as the ammos

and uniques

and armors

[meager crag]

Based

[frigid axle]

Stalker ain't fallout 4, not same publisher

[meager crag]

You sure?

[frigid axle]

HUH

[meager crag]

Reminder that STALKER 2 is made by a different GSC

[vernal lily]

[shell flax]

Also don’t expect modders to open up the guns for you without the DLC, GSC will probably bomb the fuck out of them if they try

[meager crag]

STALKER and STALKER 2 are basically different games

[frigid axle]

Oh well not a Bethesda team at least, right?

[meager crag]

Depends

[frigid axle]

nah if they lock the guns i don't want em anymore, anyway OXA already added some new guns as far as i see on console so im pretty sure I'll be okay with what i can have

(i saw like a p230 so im assuming there were added other guns too unless im wrong)

[shell flax]

https://tenor.com/view/cc-gif-12825662841762387753

[serene barn]

even Fallout 3 has guns locked behind DLCs

[frigid axle]

anything but pay walls for base content pls

[robust pendant]

Uhm
The next DLC is technically a paywall for content

[serene barn]

based on what? lol

[frigid axle]

idm not having the story or the area but the guns..

[robust pendant]

So you only care about the boring stuff?

[frigid axle]

Guns aren't boring!!

[robust pendant]

Very much so, compared to story and areas

[meager crag]

Well, to be able to have access to base content, you're basically required to play the base game because that literally has base content. DLC content is added to the base content and thus isn't base content

[frigid axle]

[robust pendant]

Thats kinda the reason why anomaly is boring in fact

[frigid axle]

i hope that the next obj of GSC is not another Dlc but making the map more full of side quests at the north and after sircaa

and also unlock more prypriat

but i wouldn't be surprised if they released a payed dlc that just unlocks more prypriat and adds side quests -

[shell flax]

I love how people are dooming when we have already gotten free updates that expand areas

[placid urchin]

Hey all, been playing the game for a while but just now getting into it. Any recs to beat the mutants and such? Its taking me 3-4 times to kill em and im loosing like 2-3 mags per lol

[shell flax]

Stories Untold put a whole questline in the burnt forest and gave it a hub

[main jewel]

the mods will actually probably become dlc required if the mods edit any dlc things

[frigid axle]

let's hope there will be more added, i didn't say s2 is doomed

[shell flax]

Not you

[frigid axle]

[main jewel]

erm well i assume if oxide is able to edit them oxa will be a dlc required mod also also dude the dlc is like one mowed lawns worth

mow your neighbors lawn for money or wash a stores windows

[frigid axle]

that's stalker for you

use the expansive ammo

[shell flax]

No but like Lexa just said, if Oxide want to edit DLC guns (which he has shown an interest in) OXA might require the DLCs

[proven hollow]

shotguns is the key

[shell flax]

It’s the same for Skyrim and Fallout mods too

[main jewel]

also i assume some things might be free

[frigid axle]

wat nooooo i didn't mean that, surely if that happens there will be a mod apart for that specified dlc, it would be VERY lame if the entire mod would become dlc locked

[main jewel]

lke shotgun supressors

[placid urchin]

I thought so haha. Ive started a few new runs and constantly get kinda pissed off at how long it takes and restarted. imma stick wid it this time and go far

[main jewel]

mow a lawn for 30 bucks

boom dlc

[shell flax]

Though I doubt oxide will make a non DLC, OXA is already three versions

And the guy has his hands full IRL too

[frigid axle]

well yeah that's like the main motto of stalker 2,wasting mags on an unarmoured entity, i always play with mods to not run in to that

[main jewel]

oxa standard dlc mod oxa core is vanilla core gameplay trust

if oxide separated them again

[shell flax]

Don’t use anything but a shotgun on a mutant

[placid urchin]

Any mods to fix that then?

[shell flax]

Rifles are for people, Shotguns for everything

[meager crag]

Damn, not even an RPG?

[frigid axle]

wym, making all of your mod Dlc exclusive is kinda obsolete to anyone who just has the base game

[meager crag]

There's no kill like overkill

[placid urchin]

Shotguns are the meta, got it! imma go buy one

[frigid axle]

Better ballistics

[shell flax]

You can but that’s an expensive item

Eh fuck it, that rodent deserved it

[frigid axle]

(the name of the mod)

[meager crag]

When are we going to be granted the Holy Grail?

[frigid axle]

with BB every human will become as powerful as you mostly, so no 5000 hp pool for a mono exo soldier, you both die almost at the same time if you're using the same armor and same gun

[meager crag]

RPMmG-7u

[frigid axle]

Helldivers ahh

[placid urchin]

Downloaded! Thanks for that

[frigid axle]

Np man, you'll be way less stressed with mostly everything

[meager crag]

Ultimatum is more like a grenade launcher tbf

[marble gyro]

What if......GSC starts charging people to install mods like Bethesda?

[frigid axle]

NO PLEASE NO

I DOUBT, I HOPE IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN

[shell flax]

It won’t

[frigid axle]

Also i LOVE when the game is broken by the mods in a good way, like i cant turn on my flashlight bcs it turns off immediately, so i can use it as excuse in my challenge to say that the flashlight is broken so you need to search for a hand held flashlight

[meager crag]

Flashback of GSC trying to sell NFTs

[marble gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/predator-arnold-schwarzenegger-hand-shake-arms-gif-3468629

Never buy NFTs

[shell flax]

If you’re using Lootabke that’s not a bug, you gotta find a flashlight in the world

[still edge]

that was a bad dream

[frigid axle]

the ohhhhhh, well i did arrive at that solution , just with the wrong process-

[still edge]

that was closer to destroy gsc reputation for ever, no way to go back after trying to pull a scam like that

[main jewel]

i would use the rpg if it had the cut corresponding scope thats modeled in game and if it was slightly better even tho the rpg kinda lowkey sucks irl compared to other launchers

[main jewel]

use the lighter

the fire is like off center of the area its supposed to come out of

and sometimes the light stays behind

but its pretty fun

[frigid axle]

yeah i alredy used The lighter and flashlight in my past legend of the zone challenge, im Curios if they fixed the shadow for the lighter

[main jewel]

i dunno

[frigid axle]

the shadow problem is that the left arm would be like a giant shadow in front of you like if the lighter would be behind the arm than held by the hand

[main jewel]

skif protectron

[main jewel]

thats fixed then i believe

[frigid axle]

smt that i didn't encounter with the flashlight, did they add more types of flashlights or still just 1?

[main jewel]

the shadows work fine

its just the position of the flame is messed up

[frigid axle]

better than the shadow thing

[main jewel]

but thats how it usually is

[tame panther]

Fun fact, shooting all the corpses on the ground in the head at the Mirror facility before turning it on, will not stop them from getting up as Zombified
Which in itself is a retcon, since Zombified Stalkers arent dead

[serene barn]

doesn't the game just spawn new enemies in when you do that

[visual mortar]

[winged glen]

Hey chat

[tame panther]

No the corpses literally stand up

Unless you mean they get despawned and then replaced with copies

they said coming summer 2026 but that’s not an exact day

which is why I’m hoping we get an exact day this month

[main jewel]

summer starts next month

[forest tapir]

I know that 😭

[main jewel]

@charred nova tell him

[rough island]

Out of random curiosity is the Valerii Khodemchuk memorial in the cnpp that exists in the game

[main jewel]

so its NOT this month at ALLLLLL

[forest tapir]

I know the DLC isn’t this month

[main jewel]

i kept saying this earlier before the dlc

i hope they do make one

[forest tapir]

im talking about info on when the DLC will drop

[charred nova]

❎

not happening

[rough island]

I hope so to

[forest tapir]

they haven’t said anything about when they’ll share more info on it

[serene barn]

i wonder how many loot items in the game is put in places you literally can't get into or that always either drops under things so you can't see them

[frigid axle]

Jack, in your opinion, what's an hard achievement someone can do in s2? apart obtaining every gun, armour or artifact in the game

[charred nova]

maybe finding all the blue prints

[frigid axle]

nah that's boring, smt that doesn't make you wanna die by radiations

hmmmm

i need way more objectives for my challenge, so far i made only ab 7

[empty hare]

Clearing every anomaly zone and retrieving its artifact between 2 emissions

[meager crag]

Try the No Hit Holy Run

[empty hare]

So basically a full zone artifact run before the next emission hits

[frigid axle]

THAT'S HELL

[meager crag]

Clearly not a true STALKER

[frigid axle]

hmm idk, a full artifact run could either turn out very challenging or just tortuous

how many artifacts are in the game?

[sage dew]

So Strelok can shoot thru walls and objects ... cool that could have been handy In Shoc ...

[serene barn]

were 2 of the houses in the swamp always connected in the sense they teleport you to the other house? lol

[sage dew]

The bossfights are not sparking joy ...

[meager crag]

I mean, you wanted a challenge, right?

I mean, there are several versions of the No Hit Holy Run

You can do the easiest if you want

[serene barn]

man, i just found the GP37 Drum Mag and got excited because i am running the v2 but for whatever reason the v2 can't use it....

[frigid axle]

the players have max 3 deaths, and by the theme of the challenge it would just be annoying and it would not fit much, no hit run is a challenge it self

i cant put a big challenge in another big challenge-

[meager crag]

Oh, it's easy

Trust me

Step 1: Install STALKER: Clear Sky

[frigid axle]

huh

[meager crag]

Step 2: Make it to the Cordon

Step 3: Survive the machine gun fire without getting hit

Ez

[frigid axle]

NOO WAIT I REMEMBER THAT PART, ITS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT GET HIT

[main jewel]

the one exo suit bandit

[meager crag]

maybe i should add to kill 10 exo suit Monolith with a knife as an objective

[meager crag]

Easy enough in the Trilogy

[frigid axle]

im talking ab s2

[meager crag]

Fair enough

In that case, yeah, I got nothing

I only play Trilogy

[serene barn]

is it worth to run the normal GP37 for the drum? kinda not happy with it not working on the v2..

[frigid axle]

is it hard acquiring 5 parts of every mutant in the game? removing story quest mutant appearances

i was thinking ab making it 10

[frigid axle]

"-Survive and pass 10 ingame days in Zaton, you're allowed to sleep only at night, once you start the objective you can't get out of Zaton and need to complete the objective first"

imo this is hard, with the 2h long time cycle, or maybe boring?

[still current]

[frigid axle]

ok i finally added a good ammount of them

not too hard not too easy

[serene barn]

think i just direct impacted a zombie with a 40mm at like 80m away. fired and then a controller "pulled" my view close and i saw the explosion.

familiar

[bold smelt]

[visual mortar]

[bold smelt]

[serene barn]

[serene barn]

[ruby gale]

Why are there 2 drinks in my hands

[still current]

You tell me

[visual mortar]

the 2nd one must've been a bug either way i died pretty fast with 2 of them. then i hit the 1 that spawned after i loaded the save with 3 RPGs.

tsk, felt like i had found everything in the swamp but there's a stash marked on my map and idk if it's one i already found. guess that's for tomorrow.

2021

[gaunt sorrel]

i've had 10 bloodsuckers spawning on me just today

[inland pivot]

I just had the greatest artifact hunt I ever had in CoP and my game decided to crash when I was about to sell all of them to Bears, it’s even worse because I had 10 artifacts. Two fireball, one crystal, two stone flowers, one soul from finally doing that quest for Snag, a meat chunk, and two goldfish. I hate my chud of a pc 💔💔💔

[gaunt sorrel]

should have saved

and it's stalker being stalker, they crash.. a lot

[tawny fable]

save constantly tbqh.

[leaden wadi]

encountered an issue where it would be cut off on my phone. i fixed the issue by adding small gaps of silence after each noise in FL studio, and then exporting those.

[robust pendant]

Ngl, cop barely crashed at all

But yes, you should consistently save, by tbe amount of artifacts it seems like you went like 30 minutes to an hour of no saving 😭

[robust pendant]

Theres always time to win them back tho

Hey does anyone know if the G3 they are adding only comes in the hk51 version (designed for SAS but it failed so it's only used by US civilians) or if it comes in the full sized variant as well.

I do hope it's available in full sized so I can add a 203 or make a marksman rife out of it.

[main jewel]

erm well in the trailer we see the unique version of the g3 so there is gunna be a normal average g3a3

[mint thunder]

[main jewel]

or erm

just a average g3

it looked like a a3 on the thumbnail of the dlc

[gaunt sorrel]

hmmm

[proven hollow]

GSC has been a little too quiet lately though

[main jewel]

may 12 we will hopefully get something

[proven hollow]

would that be a ray of hope?

[main jewel]

well erm

it was on the binoculars

on the april fools thing

and gsc is known to hide details

gsc is also known to hold secrets tighter than most people in the world

[proven hollow]

GSC is also known to not take deadlines too serious

[main jewel]

hype to them is like straight boredom for us

oohuuh there gunna be soooo hypedicus with the trailer

now lets never say anythijg until a day after the update.

and then they give us the deggy cold stare

[proven hollow]

They will release something like a DLC than fill up #📜┃gsc-answers with answers to the question "when will DLC release"

you'd think they'd slowly try to start building at least something oif hype

[cyan sparrow]

Stalker 2: The hope of the hype

[dreamy dagger]

I see the hype is declining day by day

[charred mortar]

Hey! GSC, do you have more of that...Hypeium>???<

[dreamy dagger]

Hey! GSC, where is the Faction Wars mechanic?

https://tenor.com/view/family-feud-steve-harvey-smiling-smile-gif-17522269

[arctic kite]

Hey! GSC, why did my wife take the kids in the divorce?

[dreamy dagger]

Hey! GSC, where is the reworked sleeping mechanic?

[cyan sparrow]

Hey! GSC, where is the 1.0 version of the Stalker 2 game?

[dreamy dagger]

Hey! GSC, where is the low crouch stance mechanic?

[cyan sparrow]

Btw did you had chance to try Road to Vostok?

[dreamy dagger]

Not interested in these types of games honestly

[main jewel]

gsc doesnt like us enough to add a low crouch or a prone or something

[foggy olive]

Just play gamma

[deft plume]

gamma is not stalker

[frigid axle]

bro is saying to play gamma just for a crouch mechanic -

[frigid axle]

come on, some mods can be made about it.. right?

[frigid axle]

there's a mod ab it

[meager crag]

Low crouch is a vanilla thing tho

[frigid axle]

ig he was joking

[meager crag]

Yeah, likely kek

[frigid axle]

btw i finally completed the template for my challenge on reddit, now i just need to play it, make some clips, and make a trailer of it

tho it will be either a mid or good vid, depends on how lazy i feel in the moment, the important thing is making a lot lot lot of clips so that i don't have a shortage of them

[still current]

[main jewel]

uhhh no not particularly right now

im assuming it cant be done uet

i dont even think you can make new reload animations

[tame panther]

Cant believe they gave a Freedomer the nickname Amsterdam 😭

[fierce sky]

Stutter 2: Lag of chornobyl

[frigid axle]

turns out i already failed my challenge 2 times lmao, though it's a good thing it needs to be hard, but i also removed a mod that made you get lasered even with a good armour, so it should be less hard(stalker difficulty)

i just need to get clips before GSC updates the game, bcs if they update it, some of the mods will get broken again and ill have to rearrange which to put or not-

[still current]

Naturally

99% of mods would break for a while

[frigid axle]

oh also the challenge includes to remove the Compass, crosshair and ammunition ui, so it's way more immersive

though im indecisive if to also remove the player icon in the map

[still current]

Wouldn't that be possible with vanilla UI setting?

[frigid axle]

removing the green player icon in the map?

i doubt so

[still current]

You can remove all Hud elements via setting

Player marker won't cuz its a pda thing

Part of world navigation

[frigid axle]

well the challenge isn't a mod, so im telling the players to remove the hud settings manually

and also removing all hud elements is EXTREME, not seeing your health is wild

[still current]

Well, the thought of having it disabled is kinda wild cuz then you'd be trying to navigate on your own which is nice for a challenge

Not sure I want to do it myself cuz I suck at directions

But I somehow don't really use map often

[frigid axle]

yea im quite indecisive ab it

[still current]

Yeah, sometimes it's confusing

Early regions are quite easy to navigate

[frigid axle]

hmm well ill try to remove it, first i need to see if the mod isn't broken

[still current]

But some other ones have no specific visible landmark to take as base

I would fair quite well in garbage, lesser zone, burnt forest, duga, and part of zaton

Rest might be hell

Especially the swamps

[frigid axle]

testing it rn

[still current]

I mean, thinking about the psi devices and cs base can make me sweat already lol

[frigid axle]

yk what, Ill make subtitles hidden too in the challenge lmao

[still current]

The swamps is hell that way

Finding CS will be relatively easy, but what about the other psi installations?

[frigid axle]

there's an objective in the challenge where you need to pass 10 days in zaton without getting out (with the 2h long day)

[still current]

Especially with the super radioactive water puddles

[still current]

Zaton is fine

[frigid axle]

oh really?

[still current]

You can deal with it

[frigid axle]

which was the most annoying region? i forgor

[still current]

Swamps maybe

Or duga

Cuz that place is swarming with monos

[frigid axle]

Alright, swamps it is

[still current]

With one shot script sometimes

Lol

[frigid axle]

that's crazy

[still current]

Yeah

Almost broke my screen cuz I kept being killed no matter what

Cuz I went there before story to explore and stuff

[frigid axle]

ohh same

i explored all prypriat early, same for red forest and yaniv, and Jupiter

it was quite the experience

but like, 70% of prypriat seems locked or smt

[tame panther]

Clear Sky DLC tomorrow!!!!

[frigid hill]

_kupon_ has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[frigid axle]

oh no, i just crashed at rostok, don't tell me i gotta remove more mods🙏

[ancient fractal]

Boulder weapon when?

[main jewel]

gsc made pripyat the most linear and unfun experience to explore ever

a whole chunk is blocked off wnd more than half the buildings are locked off

[frigid axle]

it was all cut out

let's hope that a free update restores it

[proven hollow]

I bet at the 12th of may they're going to announce the binocular DLC for 2027
