Yes I did. Gave the sensors to Richter at the start, and showed Korshunov the unusual PDA.

Apparently the cutscene where Korshunov gives you the AK is one where Skif gets punched, but in the cutscene I got he politely sits down and gets searched (and punches Dima)

Well
Valik’s AK is a good one at least

winged junco
#

It's decent but I really wanted the combatant, it's silly but I love the unique camo of it 😭

worthy bolt
#

@winged junco that is odd. I literally did the same as you. I am using an older save because I don’t want to start fresh. I helped richter, then decided to side with the Ward, however I got punched a few time and got the rifle. I had the Special equipped, but I don’t think the choice of weapon should matter, now I just need a silencer.

winged junco
#

It's so weird. I really can't see what could change this cutscene to the one I had. I saw one person on Reddit saying that maybe it was because I hadn't killed anyone from the Ward in the playthrough yet (and if you do, it makes Korshunov hostile at Skif and that gets him punched), I might try reloading an earlier save to see if it's this.

#

The cutscene I got was fun though. In it Skif is immediately provocative towards the Ward and he really pretends to get searched before punching Korshunov's guard in the groin lol.
But yeah I really wonder how you trigger the cutscene to get the Combatant AK, because it seems like most people actually got it??

worthy bolt
#

The whole hostile part makes no sense to me. I don’t recall ever fighting the Ward in my first playthrough, and I still got the rifle. Have you tried the old “use an old save”, I swear that is our equivalent of “did you unplug the modem for 10 seconds?” 😂.

There's a mention of a lab on an island, in the cooling pond of the CNPP, lab X6. According to googlemap, the cooling pond is halfway between the Cooling Towers and SIIRCA. Seems like that lonely outpost with a sniper monolithian, at the east of the towers, will be of use 😄

Okay, spoiler question I think, so I'll hide it. This has to do after the SIRCAA mission:

||I finished SIRCAA and got out. Helped Richter and then saved the professor at Quest's. I picked up the fuse and made it back to the Shelter. THe door to go to the engineering room is closed. I can't get in there to use the fuse. Have I been soft-locked out at this point? I haven't gotten to Zalissya either, but I hear they are under attack. So should I just stop and wait? I do have the latest version of the game on Steam and the only mod I've used since I started the game is a engine.ini file to only reduce graphical fidelity so I can play this on my GTX-1660 GPU.||

anyway don't wait too long for Zalyssia, it can fail but at least it takes a while

#

crap, i never know how to spell Zalissya properly

ebon cipher
# cyan bear do you mean ||the door to ventilation control?||

||Maybe that's it. I went in a different way through an underground tunnel. Ran through the gas and eventually got out of there constantly healing myself, so that might be why the door is not open where the one guy that liked to tinker with stuff was located at. So now I have a circuit breaker that is unused. lol! As long as I didn't miss out on any items in there, then I think I'm good. Now I need to go back and talk to the professor as before, when I went there, he wasn't in his building. Then as I went through the Shelter, he contacted me on my radio and asked why I haven't come to talk to him, so I'll go back and see. But before, he was doing his announcements over the radio/loud speakers, and when I went there to talk to him, the area he should have been standing at and showed I was 0 meters away from him had no one there. These mission bugs are killing me. ||

cyan bear
ebon cipher
# cyan bear Yeah the bugs are annoying but so far I managed to work around them without a ne...

||I went back to a save in SIRCAA before it kicks everything off and I was able to use the CB by going directly to the Shelter and into the build rather than taking the first route that I did through the poison. So I don't think I was soft-locked. Also, I probably went too early to talk to the professor, even though it was on my map. But, he had not yet told me to come visit him. This time, I waited until I heard from him and it worked. Also, I got to Zalissya and was able to complete everything there, so luckily, no soft-locking. I had thought they fixed this with some of the more recent patches, but I had also thought I read where some ran into the issue with the latest patches. In any case, I'm good now. Thanks!||

||So after using the wish granter in sirrca and killing the ward in Skifs vision everything breaks, originally I went up the stairs, the injured warden just isn’t spawned, and when I try to engage in dialogue nothing works and I even freeze when trying to chat with the warden guy (I’m terrible with names xD). I tried console commands and it cheesed me out of that specific mission but everything after seems to break as well. And now when I go up the stairs they aren’t even there and are instead in the control room, their dialogue still glitched||

Is this something that’s already been fixed and I need to start a new play through? Or is it just an unfixed bug? Thanks

Ok I get the SIRCAA bug (I think everyone does?) that prevents one from progressing after the Monolith scene.

I did end up loading a save before SIRCAA and began exploring the rest of the map, doing side quests and going into stash run...

But now I wonder: Should I keep waiting for an official fix or should I just go to SIRCAA and use the console to proceed that quest? I feel like I'm lacking progression here

Arkhyo would be like can’t you see I am busy. Come to find out I realized I hadn’t had an emission in a while. Also, when I looked this bug up it seems that everyone has the same problem. The emission doesn’t trigger. Had to manually trigger one, they run inside their little room then both down out. Hornet was in the room prior. But after the emission they are both outside and the dialogue then begins. Tragic. I don’t know if this screws up mu achievements but it was the only way I could progress

Ok yeah so you didn’t just shove everything in box. Let me tell you after Sircca, and about the to the time you do the zalyissa quest, and the monolithians come out, things go haywire for your box if you been carrying or upgrading everything you pick up. For example how much of one ammo type you have. Let me give you a gauge. I have like 30k 9x18 and 30k 9x19, and the other ammos just go down from there. I have like 3000 bandages. 2000 HealthKits.

Also I have multiples of each weapon type, for example a saiga that is modified to shoot only slugs. One that is just for buckshot. And the same goes for any other weapon.

Well, what can I tell you. I'm a senior software tester and what you're describing would be considered an edge case that I would assign low priority in the ticket or just close it as out of scope. And if our devs should decide to fix it, they would do so by introducing a limit to the crate.

why is it when i am doing a Ward run, and i went from Zalissya to Chemical and then to Garbage to see Korshunov, regardless of it i join the assault on the bandits or i wanna talk with the captive first, the objective fails and it just goes back to killing the bandits?

#

like iirc there's an achievement you can get by helping the captive instead but like that just doesn't work as you can tell

I’m on Xbox. Has anyone else been having the issue with Dark on Legends of the Zone where the door remains locked? Found several FAQs talking about mercs spawning in a tunnel of some sorts above the train tunnel just completely locking out that quest. Seen several people also say to reload a previous save and that fixes the issue, but me in my stupidity deleted several previous auto saves and saves thinking it was a memory leak issue, so reloading a save is not an option unfortunately.

For the mission Dangerous Liaisons, when I get thru the station and look around, it asks me to activate the control panel at the bottom where you pick up the project fiber report.... yet the game doesn't prompt me to be able to press the button (I verified it is the correct button via youtube videos of the quest)...

So, it seems I'm soft-locked... I have tried going back in saves and replay the quest and all that with no luck... Latest attempt it doesn't even update to anything after completeing the subtask of 'Look around the STALKER project control center'...

what can I even do aside from continuing to go back farther and farther in saves and then play back up to this point to see if it the button is pressable or not.... I couldn't bear to play the game from the start, as I'm so close to the end

and then at that point the game hits a memory leak where 99% of ram is in use before crashing... like what the f*

Well... if anyone else has this bug, what I ended up doing was noclip fly to Chemical Plant and place myself in the jail cell from the next quest (Escape from the cage), then using console commands I updated the journal entry and ended the quest, then started the next one and Dalin spawned in and gave me the key and it seems to have things fixed now..... will have to see if the next quest after this one transitions correctly tho

interesting, so when i found Spirit, needed to get into Pripyiat, this time around i was able to use the monolith regenerator that i got from that monolith hospital, but why was that not a choice the first time i went through the game? like i was going for a skif run, bounced between the factions and stuff but ultimately did Skif's own thing but he died then.

in the mission where you find your way past the barrier into pripyat, is there like, any reason why you wouldn't turn the scanner in to the corp guys at Yaniv?

Looking it up, it looks like you can try not to shoot them back. Sleep somewhere safe for a couple of days. They'll eventually calm down. Then go to the faction leader if they have stopped shooting, and talk to them. I think this is where you can bribe them.

Oh I see. I think it is the same bug I had. So there is a way to fix it. There are the steps to fix it.

#
  1. (optional) set your difficutly to be stalker or rookie because it will be hard to do it in veteran mode 2) ignore your teammate. Just push forward, and kill the 2 lanterns
#
  1. Now you can enter the courtyard without taking psi damage. Ignore your teammate, go inside the courtyard, there should be a room on your right. Inside the room, you will not take any damage so try to hide inside and kill everyone.
#
  1. ignore your teammate. They will be teleported to you once you kill everyone. Just keep killing until everyone is dead. And faust will spawn eventually. The cinematic will be weird but at least he will spawn. Now kill ||all his clones|| and u good
tame igloo
#

basically, just try to get into the courtyard as quick as possible

#

Do you have unreal tool installed? I think you could set a couple global variable to bypass the mission. Just that you will miss out some cinematics. Also for the above method, you have to get in the courtyard really fast, if you have god mode on maybe you could just try to shoot the lantern and not kill anyone before you arrive the room on your right.

# raven garden Hi! The game crashes ||in every fight against Korshunov|| on Xbox Series X, I do...

Are you talking at the end of game? Because I'm having this on PC as well. It will freeze after so many shots I take at him. Granted, I'm running a GTX-1660, but I got this far without it freezing. Did get the memory leaks that caused FPS to drop to 10 fps at times, but overall, never had a freezing issue. Of course, I got to this point prior to the 1.4 patch, so I'm not sure if the 1.4 patch caused it. I stopped playing the game a few months ago and decided to go back in and try to finish it out and then uninstall it as my GPU just can't handle it well. I have settings set to the lowest. Heck, I even went to 720p! And it still freezes and my GPU VRAM gets maxed out still, even at 720p.

# high portal

Yes, I know my GPU is on the low end, but per their requirements, I should be able to play this game. 1080p, 30 fps for a GTX-1060. My GTX-1660 actually has the Turing modules in it, not Pascal like a GTX-1060. It's using the same Turing modules as a 20-series card, but it can't do raytracing. GSC should change the low min requirements and up them because obviously 6gb GPUs have way too many issues with this game.

So, after completing the previous main quest, I was given mission "In Search of a guide" and the choice ||of asking about the guide on Shevchenko or Sultanskaya||, I went to Shevchenko because I wanted to complete the side quest of Boroda, ||after which I was assigned the Shevchenko location to search for the guide||. I went to Sultan to take his side quest and went to complete it. After I returned the case to Sultan, I went back to Shevchenko, but now the ship doors do not open! I was advised to move away 500+ meters from the ship (in other chat #❔┃seeking-for-advice message ), so I went to the dump and then to the Freedom base, returned back to Zaton, but the doors still do not open!!! What should I do!? I really do not want to return to the save where they were open, since it is 5-6 hours of play!! I have patch 1.5 and no mods

Is this a bug or something?

It is a safe room and you don't take grenade damage from inside. If you managed to rush there and your companion teleported into the point you should be able to have more guys spawning and finally faust too ||

Currently Strelok route is bugged? The elevator teleports you back to the control room

#

You can call back the elevator but with no control panel for downward move

jade quail
#

In fact, there are two elevators in X7 — one is used on the Ward route, and the other, which goes down to the lower-level garage, is used on the Strelok or Doctor routes. Since taking the wrong one means you won’t encounter Strelok, it’s probably for story reasons that you get teleported back, prompting you to find the other elevator to go down.

I was also teleported back upstairs once, so it left a strong impression on me.

#

Because those documents only become accessible when you take another ending path. It's probably because the designer don't want to create two versions of the map, so even though you can collect the documents on other paths, you can’t read them to avoid revealing unnecessary plot details.

If you really want to know, you can eventually can read these documents in the doctor's ending.

you will get a prompt/notification on your screen when you reach Point of No Return, and you won't be able to continue/resume free-play after credits (other than reloading a save) so explore until you decide to enter a specific area in Prypiat - the NPC who gives you said mission will also warn you to complete any unfinished business before that point

Ward will give you a quest to assault a warehouse where he is located, you can choose frontal assault or sneak behind and interrogate him. Next choice is who gets to see PDA. If you give it to Korshunov you can get unique AKM-74S. Otherwise you will have to get to Noontide on your own. Next is SIRCAA, you have to choose if you want to stop the experiment with Alpha artifact or deal with Noontide. This choice will lock you into Ward/Spark for Duga assault. Once you reach Subtle Matter mission, after your talk with Strider you have to pick Strelok path or Scar path, this is the first choice which will affect your ending. The rest was already pasted above. Up until Subtle Matter you mostly choose your story path until next section. During and after Subtle Matter you do pick who you will fight at Prypiat and Generators.||

||Alright I'm at my wit's end with this last terrible last mission nonsense. I've spent hours trying to take down Strelok I think something's messed up. Dozens of mags, medkits, grenades, and thousands of rounds making contact during both phases of the fight but he doesn't die, just stuck listening to the same music loop and dialogue over and over. Watching the silly electro anomaly make laps of the area. Seems pretty dumb, am I like missing some item to progress? I'd love to finish my first play of the game nearly a year after launch lol, but u know... at this point I'd settle for a "kill_strelok" console command. JC||

Vector w/ AP, 7.62, and 9x39 of various types. I can get into the second phase pretty quick but after that it's like nothing happens. Can't rush him obviously, so no slugs, or melee. Mostly headshots or upper body at medium range... doesn't make sense.

Did ya get the bastard?

Nope, I'm pretty convinced the game is just bugged up on me and I'm locked out of actually killing him, which is unfortunate. All of the guides and videos I've watched show players able to down him in just a few minutes, so something's definitely hosed. If it weren't for the absolute slog of a run through a gauntlet of Mono jerks I'd just start the mission over, but oh well.

I reloaded a save from months ago when I re-attempted the last mission; deleted all the newer saves. Progressed all the way from the bunkers and re-entered the teleport room. After the scripted sequence I did use that spot on the second level behind the console. Still took what I'd consider a ridiculous amount of ammo, but he did finally go down smile_strelok

Hey guys,

I’ve encountered a bug on the ‘Just Like the Good Old Days’ mission. After picking up the emitter and heading back to the bunker, I can’t talk to the Prof. He just stands there, and when I try to interact with him, the only dialogue option available is ‘What’s new around the zone?’

Any fixes?

Minor Spoiler: I know Master difficulty is supposed to be challenging and limit saves. The issue i have is no near save to Sircaa forcing me to run from the bandit boat over to Sircaa and if i manage to make it through Sircaa and into X11, the spacial rift out of X11 put me in the middle of a boar pack which instantly knock me down and kill me putting me back such a long way and then something causing me to crash in the building which sends me back. Although i like the challenge and setbacks i think maybe an autosave during really long story beats would be nice? Atleast as an option so both the hardcores and the challenge seekers both get their fill.

Sure thank you, when approaching the Windmill area the game freezes, at frist I was approaching frrom NW after helping the Stalker in the anomally field who asks to help his dead friend. I read to try coming from a different route, So this time I followed the Road that leads to the area from the SW, was able to get closer, but then froze again. I do use some mods, I am not sure if that's the issue. But only experienced this recently

Hey I had a question

#

Sorry to bother anyone, I'm really drunk atm

#

I'm in the scene where Dr. Lodochka ||is talking about emitters and speaks in regards to possibly having a part in the reconstruction of Monolith. I'm using Ukrainian voice acting and English subtitles. He makes it sound like Monolith were still around while Noontide was a thing. Can anyone who's more familiar with the lore tell me if that's the case? I was under the assumption that since the Monolith was deactivated all Monolith soldiers and followers were now wandering the Zone in a haze and usually getting picked off since stalkers immediately recognized their uniform. Strider seemed to be using a lot of resources trying to gather any possible survivors well over a decade since. I'm just confused by the subtitles being given since it seems like Dr. Lodochka is aware of other Monolith existing well past Faust's plan, like openly in uniform and acting in the Monolith's goals. Sorry if this is way too rambly, like I said I'm really drunk||

#

Lodochka mentioned he was listening to the ||old Monolithian network chatter, since the unusual PDA and Azimuth confirmed that some people are still using old Monolithian technology (it is not to confirm that Monolith is still around, only that the tech is still being used; the X-Network has been offline till the Signal); indeed Strider has spent time gathering survivors but his approach is more so he's giving them an option, a place to call home, and not making them all go to Wild Island by force. It is clear that some people perhaps still long to feel the "sense of unity" in the old Monolithian days, some way more than others, like Faust (and those who choose to follow him)||

# smoky cosmos Thank you very much for the response, I suppose that I didn't pick up on that. |...

according to Lodochka, actually it was ||Strider who asked him to monitor the network after the event at Azimuth. And by "old Monolithian network chatter" it solely means the network infrastructure itself was "old" - as he explained, that comm system is based on alternative waveguides (i.e. anomalous) - the usage of the network itself, and the logs you hear are relatively recent. Lodochka admitted that most of what he knew about the tech is from Strider because "Strider used to be interested in that stuff" before he decided to move on; Lodochka and Khors even offered to adapt the tech for Noon but "Strider wants nothing to do with anything Monolith-related"||

Hello! How do you pass the Chimera on Hard difficulty in the swamps? Chugging energy drinks doesn't work and he one-shots you, haha.

#

There's deep sand everywhere that prevents you from running anyway. Engaging the Chimera doesn't work, because then there's an Emission.

#

You may be soft locked. But this sounds like the part where you have to reach the clear sky bunker. Trying to avoid the water puddles will help you get there sooner, running on small patches of land. Fighting the chimera is something you shouldn't be doing.

#

aka not much you can do other than trying to book it as fast as you can.

Worst case scenario you might have to reload previous save

Any way to defend against Faust at the Duga tower when you're low on ammunition? Apparently shooting people 6 times in the head isn't enough to down them. Carrying a lot of ammunition on a previous safe didn't work either.

#

Peeking out of cover will cause 7 Monolithians to blatantly ignore who was shooting at them, aiming for my head instead.

#

Holding ground will cause 3 clones of Faust to spawn next to you, killing you instantly.

I dont understand the artifical difficulty in this game, its absolutely absurd. I wish GSC got feedback on some of these missions because they are absolutely ruining my enjoyment of the game. The assault on duga as the ward leaves me with zero ammo to kill everything, and there are an infinite spawning monolith that take 5+ AP 5.56 rounds to the head to kill, all while they can shoot through the walls of the two rooms. This is a seriously flawed quest and should be heavily modified. Its terrible. I can only imagine what is to come with more infinite monolith fights.

#

I literally cannot even escape because either the PSI radiation kills me, or the monolith do because I have zero ammo left. I can not over state how poorly designed this mission is

brazen zealot
#

I believe several adjustments to this game require reconsideration.
Firstly, the weight of quest items should be abolished. It serves no purpose other than being a burden.
Next, weapon damage needs adjusting.
Common sense dictates that a weapon using 9mm PM rounds cannot be stronger than one using .45 ACP or 9mm Para. This renders the distinction between ammunition types meaningless. The UDP series, in particular, requires a significant damage increase. While a design like Resident Evil's, where different calibres share ammunition, is understandable, if separate ammunition is provided for each calibre, damage should correspond to the specific round used.
I earnestly request these adjustments.

# open shoal Does anyone know?

It sounds like you followed the main questline and cooperated with the Ward? If so there will be multiple situations following the questline further where you can change allegiance. Last decision on this will be after entering prypiat, so youre not in danger of locking yourself in to them for a long time. But maybe i misunderstand your question; no matter who you support in the main quest, you can just do other quests as much as you like. Just be warned that some quests are only able to be done before (and some after) certain points in the main story.
