[junior zealot]

which roles do the devolopers have

[old jungle]

If you need to talk to one, I suggest asking Mol1t when he is online

[junior zealot]

ok

cause i was going to pre order the collectors editon at my gamestop but their sold outr

out

or the ultimate edition

[old jungle]

They have the GSC Game World role

[junior zealot]

what color is their roll?

[old jungle]

Green

and they have the GSC logo next to their name

[junior zealot]

i dont see their logo

is it swamp lord

[old jungle]

🤔 Do you see the novice logo next to your name?

[junior zealot]

yes

[old jungle]

the devs have GSC written there

For example look at #📺┃media the last post was made by Mol1t

[junior zealot]

ok

[late geyser]

Like this ^

[junior zealot]

@old jungle thank you

@late geyser thank you

[old jungle]

My pleasure

[sleek hound]

omg guys I just feel so dumb rn

[old jungle]

What happened?

[sleek hound]

spent almost 20h complaining that I cant check what is my current fire mode

just noticed right next to the ammo type

[old jungle]

That sometimes happens, no worries

[sleek hound]

dude Im so happy to play soc on my xbox rn

back when I 1st played I was like 12

too scared to go trough the labs n shit

[old jungle]

Nostalgia is pretty strong with this one

Enjoy on console

[sleek hound]

thanks

[fiery tundra]

I’m kinda sad that the STALKER games don’t have you physically hold the PDA

[fast stratus]

hi

im back

[spare trail]

i want to report a problem on stalkers reddit

whom shall i contact

oh modmail ig

[hoary phoenix]

Just thought I'd join because apparently STALKER is now on Xbox, and so are mods later on, will be getting the full set around April.

[hazy helm]

its already on xbox and ps

[hoary phoenix]

My bad

[finite dragon]

Hi I am brand new to stalker community. I have never played them but I’m thinking of buying trilogy on my Xbox. Closest thing I can relate playing are the metro series. Do y’all think I would like stalker?

[regal sapphire]

yea probably

[finite dragon]

I have read it is very different. The metro games are pretty linear

[old jungle]

It's quite different but anyone can enjoy it.

These are timeless classics after all.

[finite dragon]

Do y’all have any tips?

I’m no stranger to fps but I’ve never played these

[old jungle]

Get invested in the world around you. Listen to what NPCs have to say, explore the world and enjoy.

[finite dragon]

Wow so it’s open world

My only issue with the metro series was they had zero side content so I’m excited.

[old jungle]

Kinda. The Zone is split into many locations between which there are loading screens, but each location is open.

There's plenty of side stuff. Quests, buildings to explore, lore to investigate.

[finite dragon]

I saw the video the devs shared from a Xbox series x and for old games they look incredible

[old jungle]

I hope you will enjoy them!

[finite dragon]

Are the games in order

[old jungle]

You should play in order of release : Shadow of Chornobyl, Clear Sky, Call of Prypiat.

[finite dragon]

Gotcha thank you

[old jungle]

However in the timeline, Clear Sky takes place first.

[finite dragon]

If I may ask are you a fan of the metro series?

[old jungle]

I would not say I'm a huge fan but I liked the first two. I did not play Exodus.

[finite dragon]

You should. It is way better. They have a few open world levels

[old jungle]

The thing is I haven't played any new release for a long time now.

[finite dragon]

I understand

Will you play the new stalkers

[old jungle]

I have to focus on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. so I don't really play much other games.

[old jungle]

Of course, we've been waiting for it for so long

[finite dragon]

This is kinda a weird question but bare with me

Are there collectibles? I’m a collectible nut. I like hunting for them in games

[old jungle]

I'm not sure what you mean by collectibles, but there are many in-game items you can try to collect. For example, finding all weapons and armors (including unique ones) or even better, all artifacts.

[finite dragon]

Collectibles are side things you often find in games like diaries and notes to fill in the lore of games

They have armor sets. Cool

[old jungle]

Oh well there are PDA entries and sometimes secret documents to collect. The Lore in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is huge!

[finite dragon]

You have me excited

[old jungle]

Perfect

I'm also kind of a lore nerd

[finite dragon]

I just bought it

[old jungle]

Especially when it comes to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

I make videos about it after all...

[finite dragon]

In the metro games I got all the collectibles which were mostly diaries and notes

[old jungle]

Nice

[finite dragon]

I’ll let you know what I think

May I add you as a friend

[old jungle]

Sure!

[finite dragon]

I always wanted to find another game like metro

[old jungle]

If you have any questions do not hesitate.

[finite dragon]

The games are creepy

[old jungle]

Did you know that Metro was made by former S.T.A.L.K.E.R. devs?

[finite dragon]

No way really

[old jungle]

yes

[finite dragon]

On all of them

I went for stealth on the first two games

[old jungle]

At least the first, I'm not sure about the rest. 4A Games was created by former GSC employees who left the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. projects.

[finite dragon]

The second one is my least favorite

They put in a morality system where if you kill people you get bad ending

[old jungle]

Yeah I know

[finite dragon]

I disliked that

[old jungle]

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. there is a reputation system but it won't affect the ending you get that much. You can still get the best ending with terrible reputation.

[finite dragon]

Gotcha

4a is doing two metro games

One is vr. The other is a sequel to exodus

[old jungle]

I heard

[finite dragon]

Is the first one open world

It doesn’t have much data

[old jungle]

As I said it's kinda semi-open world

[finite dragon]

I understand

[old jungle]

There are many locations which are like small open-worlds, and these are connected via specific travel routes which trigger a loading screen

The new upcoming game however will be fully open

[finite dragon]

Oh im sure

It’s gonna be unreal engine 5?

[old jungle]

We were told it' around 64 km²

[old jungle]

yes

[finite dragon]

I noticed in the metro games they used a lot of the same actors in all their games

[old jungle]

I guess these games don't have the same budget as AAA American projects

[finite dragon]

You can tell if you really know the voices.

Maybe but they just might like certain actors so they bring them back

Here I go

[old jungle]

Good hunting, Stalker.

[limpid burrow]

in shoc does anyone know what is the script trigger for the second wave of soldiers coming in when youre doing the agroprom quest where you have to talk to mole?
is it just a timer?

[old jungle]

I believe it is a timer that starts when he is saved, but I could be wrong.

[muted musk]

Hey guys can I ask something about the stalker games here?

[old jungle]

Sure, go ahead

[muted musk]

Does anyone know when we will the console games get mods?

[old jungle]

Not specifically, no. Also we don't know what kind of mods will be available but most likely it will only be small ones.

I'm sure they will announce it when needed.

[muted musk]

Yeah I figured definitely would get something like gamma on day one

But I am use to that

[old jungle]

I don't think such a mod will ever be available in console, the modifications to the engine are just too heavy

[hazy helm]

GAMMA on console will never be a thing since it doesnt use the stock stlaker engine

stuff like OLR or OGSR or OXR wont be coming to console so

[muted musk]

I would really be ok with anything at least I get to customize it more the fallout

I mean it's something when I am having way more fun with the default experience

[spring apex]

damn it is a whole circle again. like "Stalker arsenal overhaul for clear sky PS4 ported"

[rotund fox]

When? Never lol. Consoles don't allow for engine, script or even model modding

Also you can't just download any mod you want to play, you gotta wait for it to be accepted by the dev first

[hazy helm]

I assume that youll only be able to mod stuff inside the gamedata folder

which would allow you to change models nd script shit

but engine modifications,would not be available

[rotund fox]

Retextures and reskins maybe only

[hazy helm]

you know like,2012 and before mods were interely made with scripts
you can spawn in and introduce new lines with scritps

you get a lot of control with LUA
and since Stalker uses LUAJit its 19 times faster than regular LUA

[rotund fox]

All i know is that modding is uptight and miserable on consoles, everything needs to checked and you need approval from devs blah blah blah, it's like smuggling drugs, not modding a video game

[queen monolith]

Remember
Scoped Weapons are OP in this game

[solid dome]

Says Oxlong

[granite coral]

Happy boring days to all

[stray flicker]

Hello! I have managed to find the Wish Granter. I now have all the items in the game, which makes me overburdened. And I want to ask you if you know if there is a way to increase my carrying capacity or in any other way.

[old jungle]

You can increase carry capacity with certain armors and artifacts.

[stray flicker]

im over 1000 kg 😅

is there a console command or something like this?

[old jungle]

Oh, you are playing CoC. You got a bad ending.

[stray flicker]

ouh😂

[rotund fox]

That's not vanilla and you didn't specify what mod you are playing

[jolly jolt]

Hey, should I trade in my fast-shooting Akm 74/2 to the barkeep for an Obokan or keep it?

[hazy helm]

keep

[jolly jolt]

Word

[open hawk]

Will there ever be mods for console stalker

[hazy helm]

they said they will integrate mod.io with a later update

[grizzled timber]

can anyone assist me in #💬┃en_offtop ?

[icy tiger]

Why are the shotguns so bad in cs?

[jolly jolt]

Source? Not trying to be 🤓, but I'm curious.

[broken latch]

The real question is why are pistols so good in cs?

[broken latch]

Source is mol1t himself

[icy tiger]

I saw the “can you beat cs with only a pistol” didn’t seem that good

[broken latch]

I'm only using pistol in the swamps, works like a charm

[icy tiger]

And to think I’m still making a can you beat cs with only a shotgun video

[frosty ferry]

So I don’t know if I’m doing something incorrect or just have to progress when I talk to any trader on the console version it doesn’t have the option to open the trade window

[broken latch]

There should be a button on the bottom of the box, not in the chat dialogues

[frosty ferry]

Oh I see it now my bad

[spring apex]

top it off with "can you beat cs withhunting shotgun only"

[hazy helm]

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/03/06/xbox-partner-preview-stalker-trilogy/

[snow fulcrum]

Wait so when mod support drops I can play anamoly on my Xbox?

[hazy helm]

Anomaly does not use the stock stalker engine
you will not be able to

Anomaly uses a custom OXR engine version

[solid dome]

Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[solid dome]

No Anomaly, OP, CoC, Misery, Spatial - everything else besides total conversions and mods running on custom forks of Xray

[regal sapphire]

is STCS + TFW compatible?
and if they arent
is there a merge somewhere?

[north violet]

Well it probably was incredibly difficult to do.

[jagged gale]

knowing how stale x-ray engine is

[north violet]

Oh jeez, yeah I didn't even think about how ancient and archaic X-Ray must be.

[latent flame]

successfully downloaded Stalker clear sky, time to finish thy trilogy

[remote crow]

HE SAID THE LORD’S NAME IN VAIN

[solid dome]

Never I called Christ for no reason

It's soon time for Molitva. We gather in front of our Leader and say aword each.

[solid dome]

Better have stale engine instead of Frostbite engine

[remote crow]

Everyone gather in the circle. We need to sacrifice someone.

[solid dome]

You!

You voodoo woman be dealt with

[pale pivot]

Use pounds

[remote crow]

I will eat you

[pale pivot]

Damn

U sure abt that cus I’m sweaty as shit rn

[solid dome]

I'm a sugar cane

[hazy helm]

actually,I wonder if you can force Spatial Anomaly to work with scripts

that would be a funny project

[cunning fable]

I wonder if the console stalker crashes as much as vanilla pc stalker

[solid dome]

Vasim forgive me for I forgot to list NLC7

I beg your forgiveness

[solid dome]

Its based on the PC build, respectively...

[cunning fable]

So probably

Oof

[solid dome]

Mind you that the game crashes for 1 quite often doesnt automatically mean it does for everyone

Nothing to oof about
In my playtime on SoC, CS and CoP, I have about 3 to 5 crashes in SoC, zero in CS and 2 in CoP

In the span of like 12 years

[cunning fable]

Its well known x ray is hot garbage, so it isn't far fetched to believe it's got some people disappointed

Still, better than Fallout has been

[wicked fox]

I didn't get a single crash

[covert slate]

just like PC it's personalized for everyone it seems

[wicked fox]

But I played little so far tbh, juggling between Stalker and FF7 Rebirth

[solid dome]

I think its far from hot garbage, it may be janky but total garbage...

[spring apex]

well i got no crash, but glitched missions lol but it doesn't cause too many troubles

[nimble cipher]

derp_jenkins has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[raven flint]

So like I recently got the first stalker game so is there any hands up I should know?

[cunning fable]

Whoops, no f bombs

[solid dome]

Exactly

[solid dome]

Never played before?

[raven flint]

Nope but I always wanted to when I saw stalker 2 on game pass in 2022

[cunning fable]

The difficulties are backwards, that's the first thing you need to know

[spring apex]

ummmm as usual, merc armor at the starting village

[latent flame]

ok so

[raven flint]

Wdym?

[latent flame]

was tasked with helping out an outpost from boars
"Quick! get in the watchtower! they cant reach you from here!"
First action i do is commence melee combat with the local boar population

[spring apex]

doesn't matter btw since there will be scripted emission next lol

[cunning fable]

They're mathematically backwards. Rookie is hardest

[raven flint]

That’s interesting

[solid dome]

Couple golden advices from Oldman Krezzin:

1. Never rush in any situation, even when you run across a grassy field you have to observe the surroundings for anomalies you may not easily spot at first hand
2. Use the bolt to open a path through an anomaly or else, figure out where it is and if you can walk around it. Some anomalies like electro can be discharged so you quickly pass through themk (SoC, railway tunnel at the bridge).
3. Dont be a mule and carry ton of stuff. Pick what you need the most, couple medkits, couple vodka bottles, antirad in case and manage your ammo. You dont need much if you can utilize it right. Amount doesnt matter, usage does.
4. Dunno what else

[spring apex]

damn i thought krezzin gonna drop another hardest beat when the bro typed that long lol

[raven flint]

Alright thank you for the advice and whole guideline

[solid dome]

I can't think of anything else at the moment

STALKER has a lot of mechanics

Hard to focus on one to give advice on

[raven flint]

I could tell I saw some gameplay on it

[spring apex]

4. go for the headshots, it saves a lot

yeah idk what else too honestly

[solid dome]

Damn right

Pop them buckets

Here's to a steady hand!

5. Don't be eaten by pseudo dogs while checking your PDA

Not an essential one. Definitely good to keep in mind.

[solid dome]

6. If you die, better be in a pile of empty cans

@pale pivot

Worms will have hard time reach you thru the metal

[spring apex]

[solid dome]

[pale pivot]

Good idea 💡

[solid dome]

Innit

Holy f, cold as ass outside, whats wrong with weather this week. Went from 17 celsius to -7 in 3 days time

[pale pivot]

So 20 Fahrenheit 🙃

[solid dome]

I hate fahrenheit

[arctic prawn]

Yo guys..im planning on buying STALKER: legendary triology, its worth it?

[solid dome]

Every single cent

[gray hollow]

truth

i recommend to buy it when its on sale though youll get all games for under 20€

[arctic prawn]

Nah..ill buy for my birthday

[spring apex]

guy's getting strelok for the birthday

[solid dome]

The Zone favors the brave

[solid dome]

He gon stre-lock himself for an all-nighter game session

[arctic prawn]

At the end of the day ill certain be chillin on a campfire with my mates

[solid dome]

Classy man

Guitar...
It'd be cool if GSC does sort of campfire minigame

Like playing the guitar and making songs yourself while listening to NPCs tell jokes

[arctic prawn]

Like ff7 rebirth piano

[solid dome]

We have to have a dynamic anecdote system of sorts and a function where the player can sit down near the campfire and listen to stories

Maybe make it so if more than 2 NPCs are sitting nearby, one takes out a guitar and the other starts telling jokes

You then listen and have damn good time

Must give campfires better meaning in ST2 somehow

[arctic prawn]

That would be awesome ngl

[solid dome]

Only if GSC had proper communication with us and did polls on what people would liek to see improved in S2...

Why is it always the company you want to support more than others does such bad practices like not wanting feedback, etc...

Weird asf

[river shard]

if stalker fans developed stalker 2 itd suck

refer to gamma

[solid dome]

Depends which group of fans

[regal sapphire]

^

[solid dome]

Hardcore fans who dont want bs would have done it right

Gamma can suck my toes while I brush my teeth

[regal sapphire]

lol why specifically while youre brushing your teeth

[arctic prawn]

Fetish

[solid dome]

Came out randomly

Anyone who enters The Zone doesn't become more normal

Hey, we're 179 days away from visiting Sidorovich again.

[jolly jolt]

If I might ask why is gamma so bad? I never got to play it but I heard good things about it and Anomaly. I'm sorta new to the community if it isn't already obvious.

[river shard]

repair simulator and bad economy and bullet sponge enemies

for example: i had to savescum to kill a duty master because my starting pistol did like no damage on headshots so i had to use my knife instead

he dropped an rpk with 20% condition and 2 bullets

[jolly jolt]

Jfc

[arctic prawn]

Bruh💀

[solid dome]

It goes too far from the STALKER formula to become its own thing having STALKER elements

[river shard]

the duty master was the first hostile i encountered btw

[solid dome]

Mashup of sorts
Does it make sense?

[river shard]

it also doesnt look good graphically

[jolly jolt]

Yeah, no I gotcha

[river shard]

no art direction and a lot of the armor sets suck

[arctic prawn]

I heard good things abt anomaly tho

[solid dome]

Its a freeplay mod

[river shard]

if you play as monolith you’ll especially see major differences

[solid dome]

Gamma is Anomaly on steroids

[river shard]

anomaly isnt the holy grail

it really just copied a bunch of stuff from coc and added no features of its own

[fossil fiber]

They are basically sandboxes. Story is almost irrelevant. So the main point is to upgrade your gear and just survive

[jolly jolt]

Ah right

[river shard]

quest givers also will send you all the way across the map

[jolly jolt]

That's why some people make it look and feel like EFT

[solid dome]

DaVinci chips in with the best fact

[solid dome]

Worst thing possible, lol

You take a quest in the starting area requires you to travel through 4 areas

[river shard]

i got a quest from a random stalker in the rookie village to deliver a package to an ecologist in agroprom

radiation also doesnt drain naturally which is annoying

[fossil fiber]

Yeah, A LOT of Tarkov players playing GAMMA. It basically became so popular with the help of that part of gaming community

[river shard]

artifact hunting is way more tedious too

raiding bases and looting isnt all that fun either

[spring apex]

if you heard someone said gamma or modpacked anomaly is good, that's probably on behalf of those fans lol. not like og stalker fans

[river shard]

the gunplay is good and all but early game you need to save scum heavily imo

[spring apex]

is full of artificial difficulty

[river shard]

i wiped out a bandit camp for like 60 5.45 bullets which i couldnt use because traders dont sell guns

[calm aurora]

Hi anyone Stalkers fan and Metro game ??? Im from Italy big Stalker Fan but also about book game and movies about post apocalyptic

[solid dome]

Metro took inspiration from Stalker, my son @calm aurora Also welcome.

[arctic prawn]

Metro is stalker son

[river shard]

in gamma you spend almost all of your money on medical supplies, batteries, and repair kits

[spring apex]

alohaa

[fossil fiber]

Always

[calm aurora]

Hi ti all if you

[solid dome]

Italy in the house!

[finite dragon]

wish u all a good night

[jolly jolt]

Idk why but Lab X18 was the most harrowing experience I had in Stalker so far. I legit didn't expect anything except maybe a few bandits or even soldiers. Nothing like whatever the hell it was that I faced down there.

[old jungle]

So far

[jolly jolt]

Oh yeah, I'm new but not that new. I know there's probably worse to come lol

[hidden stratus]

Every Stalker fan is a metro fan.

Its like eating a sandwich with nothing inside they both go together

[queen monolith]

Never noticed how good shotguns can be in this game

Played through SoC without using shotguns all that much, then when I got the pump-action in Clear Sky, I've been using it a lot more

[rotund fox]

No

[finite dragon]

Did you know that skull and bones was supposed to be a dlc for assassin's creed black flag?

[vague harbor]

Anyone know where to find a snowflake artifact in Cop

[old jungle]

Rooftop of the Yubileiny Center

[vague harbor]

It won’t spawn

Literally tried waiting on emissions all kinds of things and it won’t spawn there 😭

[old jungle]

🤔 Strange. That's the most reliable place I know but I guess it could spawn else where, try all electro fields

[hazy helm]

make sure you have a strong enuff detector

higher end arts require higher end detectors

[queen monolith]

Clear Sky changes a lot of things for the better, mainly that suits are way cheaper and shotguns feel a lot more powerful, but unfortunately radiation won't go down on its own anymore, and armor will go down way faster (or at least it feels that way)

[vague harbor]

I have the savog or whatever it’s called

It’s the last one I need to find too and it’s pissing me off

[rotund fox]

Try the parking lot in Jupiter

[vague harbor]

Tried that and iron forest and the Jupiter factory

[river shard]

ermmmmm i couldnt really get into metro

[gray hollow]

imo factual information

[old jungle]

I like Metro but I would not say I'm a fan.

[tight kayak]

I was a metro fan before I was a stalker fan

[gray hollow]

same

[tight kayak]

They’re similar but very different to me

[gray hollow]

true

[frosty ferry]

So I have a question for the quest “talk to the outpost commander” and it sent me to freedom but from what I can tell I’m supposed to talk to duty

[old jungle]

Could you give more context? Which game? Which location?

[gaunt burrow]

I think he refers to Clear Sky quests

[frosty ferry]

It’s clear sky and it sent me to the dark valley and idk why

[old jungle]

You just met with Vasyan in the Garbage? If so, it's normal.

[gaunt burrow]

Duty you'll talk to later

First you have to do some quests for Freedom

[frosty ferry]

Yeah but when I go to the dark valley it just says talk to the outpost commander and where do I find the outpost commander

[old jungle]

he should be right after the entry point

[gaunt burrow]

Once you enter the Dark Valley, Freedomer will approach you

Then him and you will have a convo and after that convo will be done that quest will be completed

[frosty ferry]

Alrighty thanks

[worthy monolith]

@fiery tundra i just realised that the AK sounds in stalker and the first 2 metro games are almost the exact same wtf

[manic hearth]

Dumb question for those of you who have tried the console updates. How is the gunplay on consoles? Also did they add the same updates to their pc counterparts, I couldn't find a definitive response (I know we have many heavily supported community mods for pc, but just wondering)

[worthy monolith]

I dont think they added anything to pc tbh

[old jungle]

Nothing to PC indeed.

[manic hearth]

Thank you for the responses I figured, since I didn't see them get patched

[calm aurora]

Hi

[covert slate]

one can only hope they add a new seperate branch on steam for this console version in the future

[worthy monolith]

everyday, i am closer to buying the games on playstation...HHNNNGGG

only thing holding me back is a chance of a physical edition and i dont want to own the game 3 times

Oh great Mol1t is there a chance for a physical edition?

[frosty ferry]

So something I encountered when I’m attacking the depot in clear sky when I go into the main area it makes me put my guns away

Like when I go into the depot it won’t let me keep fighting

[hazy helm]

If they do hopefully it's a alternate branch

[gaunt burrow]

You can't enter inside the base of any faction with a gun

Which I gotta admit, is annoying

[frosty ferry]

So I gotta snipe them from outside?

[gaunt burrow]

Thats the only option basically

[upbeat lagoon]

VSS about to go hard

[frosty ferry]

Damn well one is hiding in a room and I have my weapons put away before I’m in that room

[upbeat lagoon]

I think I like stalker soc more than pripyat so far

[hazy helm]

BC it's a better game

[gaunt burrow]

Fair

SoC is a favorite game of many

[upbeat lagoon]

The body dragging surprised me

[sly matrix]

SoC has the best atmosphere and introductions to new mutants

[open hawk]

Any tips for clear sky getting through agroprom center the underground

[sly matrix]

which part?

[old jungle]

Take a good shotgun

[open hawk]

🤝

[gaunt burrow]

Talk to Cheersov before entering Underground (if he's still alive)

[sly matrix]

buckshot, no slugs/darts

[jade wigeon]

I've hunted water fowl in the rain, SoC captured that so hard in the swamp areas, give me more of that plz

[open hawk]

Honestly the part where there’s the green tubes of werid green water and where the mutant is that has telepathic powers

[gaunt burrow]

He'll give you SPSA-14 and some ammo for it

[old jungle]

I believe it is a water treatment facility

[open hawk]

Yeah

[sly matrix]

move in close, but not in melee range. Then unload a shotgun in its face

[open hawk]

Holding back on it rn trying to get better gear and re try

[open hawk]

Got some sunshine armor I think it is and a m4 that I modded to take 5.45

[gaunt burrow]

At this point I'd recommend getting Vintar tbh. You can found 1 at the Swamps

Scars original Vintar

[open hawk]

I’ll check that out

[gaunt burrow]

But some loners also carry it

[open hawk]

What’s the vintar?

A sniper or ar

[gaunt burrow]

Sniper

[sly matrix]

swamp vintar is actually as close to agroprom as it gets

[gaunt burrow]

It doesn't have a lot of bullets in the magazine but still OP

[open hawk]

I’ll check it out later once home

[gaunt burrow]

https://youtu.be/JnGkjhFIMj4?si=WVPtSpzyLfhDvIkr

[gaunt burrow]

@open hawk

[arctic prawn]

Embed fail

[open hawk]

🤝 yeah I just saw it

[gaunt burrow]

Its completely ruined though. Repair is gonna cost around 9k RU

[open hawk]

So ASVAL

[open hawk]

Dang I’ve only got like 1-2 k I’m broke, spent it all on modding

[gaunt burrow]

Avalanche isn't a bad option either tbh

Pretty much all 9x39 guns are good

[hazy helm]

Ez

[open hawk]

Any tips for getting lots of Rubles

[sly matrix]

vanilla? forester vintar exploit

[gaunt burrow]

Zviagintsevs shooting game

[open hawk]

What’s that, I’m on Xbox

[gaunt burrow]

Raid of Cordon military checkpoint (old trick)

[open hawk]

Sounds hard ngl😭

[gaunt burrow]

Basically you kill all soldiers, then put all weaponry, ammo etc in a body of 1 soldier

And then drag that body all the way to Sids bunker for a profit

[sly matrix]

helping freedom defeat the mercs also gets you a nice amount of semi-valuable guns

[open hawk]

That’s sounds Hella smart

[solid dome]

3 times?

[open hawk]

Did that already

[gaunt burrow]

It is

[hazy helm]

Faction wars

[gaunt burrow]

Old trick but still works

[open hawk]

I’ll check it out

[gaunt burrow]

https://youtu.be/m6BTRUVZtPk?si=boiCxXQALQQOFoGS

Whats even better is that even if you kill soldiers then other soldiers will come

[arctic prawn]

I heard there will be an upgraded version for next gen consoles...thats all

[gaunt burrow]

So you can repeat the same trick lot of times. Big profit that can be made

Limpid and Thunderov also give a lot of money for flash drives

Other technicians pay less but still. Additional way to make a buck

[open hawk]

Dang

[hazy helm]

Here

[gaunt burrow]

@open hawk Quick question, is your relation with bandits completely ruined?

[open hawk]

Yes

I killed a lot of them ngl

They aren’t happy

[gaunt burrow]

https://youtu.be/s5RCfgJflT4?si=gPjcr7lSEvT3-x1K

You can receive money by giving flash drives to other technicians still

[sly matrix]

bandits tolerate extremely little, killing a few of them makes the entire faction hostile

[solid dome]

He killed the bandits! Public confession.

Arm up, people, we are gonna avenge the death of our... Bruh, fck em.

[sly matrix]

other factions care hilariously little

[open hawk]

Ohhh

[open hawk]

I’ve raided bandit camps by freedoms base and stoped attacks from them so far

[gaunt burrow]

Vid I sent above explains how to get all flashdrives

[open hawk]

A good bandit is a dead one

[open hawk]

Will stalker 2 be coop

[solid dome]

No

[sly matrix]

nope

[open hawk]

Multiplayer ?

[solid dome]

Sure

[gaunt burrow]

Honestly only reason why I keep neutrality with bandits in Clear Sky as long as possible is because 2 reasons

1. Limpid is the only one who can fully upgrade SEVA and 2) he also pays the most for flashdrives

[open hawk]

Welp it’s too late gonna exterminate them

[solid dome]

Hit em hard brutha

[open hawk]

Where can I find Ecos in clear sky as well

[sly matrix]

bandit side of the faction wars is also one of only two ways of getting a GP37(G36)

[gaunt burrow]

You mean ecologists? In Clear Sky only Sakharov appears

[arctic prawn]

Rememba to shoot them right btween their eyes brotha

[open hawk]

Oh poop

[gaunt burrow]

And he'll be scientist. Not Ecologist like he was in SoC

In Call of Pripyat there'll also be other scientists (not Sakharov tho)

[open hawk]

Oh ok

[solid dome]

Call of Cricketsyat

I love the sound of crickets

Crickey

[sly matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/cricket-catch-dwayne-leverock-fat-cricketer-fat-fatty-gif-25028629

[open hawk]

What’s the most latest stalker

Call of Pripyat right ?

[gaunt burrow]

Aye

[arctic prawn]

Yeah

[open hawk]

Ok ima play thag next once done with clear sky

[gaunt burrow]

Release date its as following: Shadow of Chernobyl, then Clear Sky and lastly Call of Pripyay

[solid dome]

Most latest Stalker is the one Sakharov has on his PC

[gaunt burrow]

But chronologically Clear Sky actually happens first. Then SoC and CoP

[arctic prawn]

For me tho..soc still has the best atmosphere of them all

[gaunt burrow]

Still tho. Its more preferable to start with SoC regardless

[solid dome]

Muthafunker never lets anyone touch his PC, though I heard from his colleague he had rare game releases on

[gaunt burrow]

Krezzin hi

[open hawk]

That’s what I’m playing rn

What’s after clear sky in like lore order

[gaunt burrow]

Chronologically its Clear Sky, then Shadow of Chernobyl and finally Call of Pripyat

[sly matrix]

soc

[open hawk]

Ok

[gaunt burrow]

But nonethless starting with SoC is still better tbh

[sly matrix]

it is

[solid dome]

Whats poppin?
You copin?
I see you weepin
You be tweekin

@gaunt burrow

[gaunt burrow]

Because Clear Sky already assumes that you played SoC before

[solid dome]

BARS on fire

[gaunt burrow]

SoC also has Encyclopedia where you can learn about different things

[open hawk]

Will stalker 2 have it’s our server like dayz ?

[arctic prawn]

Nah

[sly matrix]

I wish...

[gaunt burrow]

🔥

[solid dome]

It'll use Steamworks

[open hawk]

What’s that not familiar with that

[solid dome]

You can Google to better understand

I'm writing bars atm

[gaunt burrow]

Steamworks, a freely available application programming interface (API) released in 2008, is used by developers to integrate Steam's functions, including digital rights management (DRM), into their game products

[solid dome]

Pretty much Steam servers

[gaunt burrow]

Ye

[open hawk]

Ok

I would love to make a server or play on a custom private RP server for stalker 2

Would be dope

[sly matrix]

let's first see how it turns out:' D

[solid dome]

You would be able to host one from the in-game interface, unsure if dedicated servers will come back ever

[gaunt burrow]

Krezzin wants some bars?
While on the mars?
Copium in his system
So strong

[solid dome]

Dude plans to host a server even before knowing if the game will be even able to load the MP menu

[arctic prawn]

Thats alot of copium

[solid dome]

Yeap

[sly matrix]

need me to hook it up directly to your bloodstream?^^

[solid dome]

Hook me up

[sly matrix]

arright, not a registered nurse so it might take a few tries^^

[solid dome]

Rick Grimes TWD S01 first episode all over again

[hazy helm]

Stalker 2 will not have a dayz like multiplayer

Thank god for that

[solid dome]

STALKER 2 will have an NPC named Vasim who will promote NLC8 at the entrance of Rookie Village

[hazy helm]

Nlc8 SUCKS

Ain't even for a monolith dedicated to daddy syak

[sly matrix]

NLC8?

[hazy helm]

Joke

[solid dome]

Next Levolution Content 8 wowza

Hehe...

Once S2 debuts we do NLC 9 for Vasim, exclusively. One time experience for the Portuguese Lord.

[open hawk]

Noooo

Where is my helldiver suit

[open hawk]

[sly matrix]

stalker coop/multiplayer/dayZstyle is a fairly polarized subject on this server; )

There won't be coop in S2

Krezzing Effect is strong

Stalker 2 should have a battle pas

No

If I wanted to play job-games,Id turn into a german

NO

[open hawk]

[hazy helm]

[hazy helm]

Fuckity fuck

[jolly jolt]

K you're definitely taking the piss

[sly matrix]

stalker battle royale

[hazy helm]

I am sorry to tell you this but
It will,most likely happen

[gaunt burrow]

No way

[arctic prawn]

Stalker loot boxes, ultimate deluxe edition, battle pass, pay ng+

[open hawk]

Why not multiplayer

[hazy helm]

Come do your daily quests dear,sidorovich needs you to hunt 20 tushkanos

[hazy helm]

S2 will have a multiplayer update after release
The originam games had multiplayer,a very fun arena-cs1.6 hybrid

[open hawk]

Yay

[arctic prawn]

Dont get your hopes up tho

[open hawk]

No battle pass for you

[arctic prawn]

True stalkers dont need battle pass

[shrewd elm]

it's just pvp?

[open hawk]

9.99$

[hazy helm]

Yhea
True stalkers buy the skin pack dlc for 9.99

[open hawk]

@hazy helm can you add vehicle skins in the battle pass

[sly matrix]

anime gun-skins

[hazy helm]

All the info we got about it is
No coop,no dayz like stuff,I'm expecting it to be like the old games
Which I like

[gaunt burrow]

[hazy helm]

No vehicles in game

[arctic prawn]

I need anime guns skins

[shrewd elm]

the multiplayer should just be like tarkov honestly

[hazy helm]

V-tuber collaboration

[hazy helm]

Mfw

[shrewd elm]

the gunplay isn't particularly great in stalker games

[gaunt burrow]

Lmfao

[open hawk]

Stalker and metro collab?

[sly matrix]

omfgrofl

[shrewd elm]

stalker is more similar to tarkov than it is to cs

[hazy helm]

My SoC and CS multiplayer sessions beg to differ

It ain't like Tarkov,in any way shape or form mind you

[shrewd elm]

yeah im not talking about the original stalker multiplayer

[hazy helm]

I like the bait

[open hawk]

Yes please

[hazy helm]

Tho

[shrewd elm]

ofc the multiplayer isn't like tarkov lol

[hazy helm]

The multiplayer has the same gunplay as the single player lmfao

[shrewd elm]

i know, but all i am saying is it would make more sense if the multiplayer was like tarkov

[hazy helm]

The gunplay in stalker is fast paced,very controllable and not at all hardcore

[hazy helm]

Just BC you like smth doesn't mean smth else needs to be like that first smth

Also

[shrewd elm]

im just voicing my opinion

[hazy helm]

What I think you wanna say is

You want stalker to be a extraction shooter

The multiplayer bit

[shrewd elm]

yes

[hazy helm]

Yhe,if it was down to me,I'd just remake the OG games multiplayer and add a progression system based on xp

[arctic prawn]

You want to turn stalker into rpg?

[sly matrix]

oh please

half this server would turn it into a JRPG...

[hazy helm]

if I want that I can just play Legend Returns

[gaunt burrow]

If it was up to me I'd change nothing

[hazy helm]

If you wanna turn it into a RPG
At least turn it into a good one not that type of drible shit

[gaunt burrow]

Because everything is already perfect

[open hawk]

I want more realistic gun play

[shrewd elm]

why does a casual multiplayer need progression?

[shrewd elm]

i dont

[arctic prawn]

We need a battle pass

[hazy helm]

Casual multiplayer doesn't necessitate it but it would be a good thing to reward a player who keeps playing

[shrewd elm]

well i think everyone plays it for the singleplayer but sure

[sly matrix]

faction building management game for on mobile

[hazy helm]

Stalker is primarily single player
Doesn't mean it can't have a banger multiplayer tho

[arctic prawn]

Jokes aside...we all need more bread

[open hawk]

Can stalker add more food

[sly matrix]

no

[open hawk]

[sly matrix]

when McDonalds open up shop in the zone the world will have gone truly gone to heck

How to use grenade launcher on tunder s14?

[worthy monolith]

is that going to be available seperately? or is that a free upgrade

[jagged gale]

Make sure you got the proper grenades, 40mm M203 grenades are not compatible with the launcher for Groza

(Groza is the irl name for Tunder)

You new? Console player?

[arctic prawn]

Free upgrade ig

Its a patch

[worthy monolith]

oh very nice, im buying the console version now, i give up waiting

[arctic prawn]

May you find what you seek in the zone..STALKER

[worthy monolith]

well if there was a physical release of the console version, then that would mean i bought the game for pc, on console digital, and if they release physical then like that too, which means 3

What’s the best gun in clear sky

[jagged gale]

GP37

Extremely rare and accurate 5.56

FT F2000 is to be left out as it's not even a gun it's an end game tool

[open hawk]

How can I get that

Frick the bandits

[solid dome]

Thought I'd revive the 3am chats. Not gunna.

How can I get exo suit

In clear sky

[late geyser]

• Mitay has an 80% chance of selling it if you are a member of Duty and Duty is at or past their fourth faction war expansion (where they try to conquer the Garbage exits to the Dark Valley) and Duty controls at least 5 "resource" type smart terrains.
• Thrush has a 70% chance of selling it if you are a member of the Loners and the Loners are at or past their fourth faction war expansion (where they try to capture the Garbage entrances from the Cordon) and the Loners control at least 5 "resource" type smart terrains.
• Ashot has a 50% chance of selling it if you are a member of Freedom and Freedom are at or past their fourth faction war expansion (where they try to capture the Dark Valley exits to the Garbage) and Freedom controls at least 5 "resource" type smart terrains.

🙏🏻

What are the best factions to join , (don’t say bandits since I have killed too many of them)

Clear sky^

[solid dome]

Best faction to be part of is the one which doesn't take out your freedom. Means, Loners.

What is the best way to keep your sanity in the next 179 days?

[open hawk]

What about freedom

[arctic prawn]

Free stalkers

[open hawk]

How to Join

[solid dome]

By not joining any other factions

[arctic prawn]

Exactly

[open hawk]

What if I wanna join freedom is that a good choice ?

[solid dome]

Every faction has its secrets

Try and see
STALKER isn't "I play it once and I delete afterwards" type of game

[arctic prawn]

Try every faction and see which one fits with your ideology or style

[open hawk]

Do any factions have pet cats or dogs

[gaunt burrow]

Subjective tbh

Its up to you only

Basically join whichever faction you like the most

[late geyser]

Dunno, in Clear Sky I always join "Clear Sky", since (in my opinion) it's canon for Scar, or "Loners".

[desert terrace]

Lermontov prayer.

In a difficult moment of life, sadness is crowding into my heart, I repeat one wonderful prayer by heart. There is a power of grace in the consonance of living words and an incomprehensible holy charm breathes in them..

[hushed tide]

Just wondering if console players will be getting mods similar to the way fallout 4 got mods

I'm a massive fan of stalker have been for years but was never able to get a pc so this is a big deal to play all the games on console

and also if we do get mods for console will stuff like gamma be available

[open hawk]

Later yeah, check channel pins

[solid dome]

How are you massive fan of something if you haven't ever seen it yourself before

Not meant to judge but, the "I can't afford a PC" part isn't valid for years

[sand fiber]

doubt scar would join CS

they basically force him to support them

[hushed tide]

Watched so much of it over the past 10 years not my fault I couldn't get a pc

[arctic prawn]

Yes, they said the next patches will include mod support

[hushed tide]

Sweet thank you

[late geyser]

Maybe.
I'm just guessing this from the close cooperation between Clear Sky and Scar.

[sand fiber]

nothing like GAMMA or Anomaly will be available for consoles, 99% modern mods either heavily modify the engine or use its forks

i imagine mod support will be extremely limited

[arctic prawn]

I wonder which is better rn..console version or pc without mods

[sand fiber]

pc without mods

[arctic prawn]

Why tho?

[sand fiber]

why would the console version be better?

[arctic prawn]

Idk..i thought they were the same

[sand fiber]

console port isn't the highest quality port, new UI additions look out of place

otherwise it's the same, yes

[arctic prawn]

Why out of place?..i mean the new ui seems quite fine..

[vital mulch]

What happened to the bug reporting for console? Its gone on my discord

Nvm ignore my comment lmao

[sand fiber]

the wheel doesn't look good, loading screens are messed up

otherwise it's

the same yeah

[arctic prawn]

Yeah..i can agree with u

Hope they fix it with the upcoming patches

[ruby warren]

Either way the port means I finally got to play it so Im happy

[misty falcon]

so i picked up some wepons and tried to sell them but cant sell dmg weapons is there a way to break them down for parts instead to sell if thts a thing

[shrewd elm]

you can only sell guns to traders

normal npcs will only buy food/first aid kits

[vital jolt]

Hello stalkers!

[misty falcon]

uhh the traders who sells armors/helmets? if so i tried him

[jolly jolt]

Same

[misty falcon]

i may be consfuaing myself so my bad

[vital jolt]

just started playing shadow of chernobyl. very nice game.

[rough grove]

Just had a crazy Mandela effect, coulda sworn there's consumable weed in the whole trilogy but apparently it's only in anomaly, perhaps I just have too many hours in gamma

[solid dome]

Without question, PC, because soon the fixes applied on the console build will carry to the PC build. Matter of time.

[zealous steppe]

I now have the three games on pc and xbox

[solid dome]

You have six games

[zealous steppe]

Technically two of each

[solid dome]

Hot dang

[floral brook]

I just started playing SoC on Xbox, as a first time stalker player, what do y'all suggest?

[solid dome]

Do one thing at a time and try not to rush, even if you feel like its the best case scenario. Always observe the surroundings as sheet can happen any second, be it a mutant jumping on you or an anomaly you walked yourself in. Watch for banditos who will shoot your ass without notice.

Learn to manage your inventory and dont carry much - more you have in the backpack, lesser you be able to run and dodge a fatal attack (weight limit)

Always aim for the head as well. You can one shot almost everyone besides exoskeleton guys

Those robot-like looking equipped fellas

[floral brook]

@solid dome thanks dude

[solid dome]

Oh another one pretty common

Bolts have unique use within the series, They let you discharge anomalies to pass through. It's a short timeframe usually so you have to be quick with the fingers.

Throw one ahead of you and if you see a visual effect and a sound, anomaly sits there

[wicked depot]

Lucky you 🙂 Soak in the atmosphere and "Good Hunting S.T.A.L.K.E.R!"

[hidden stratus]

Always love seeing new players join the zone

Games are so old it is hard to predict what new things we will see in the sequel. Lots of room here.

[solid dome]

The Room never runs out of space.

[open hawk]

Question for the more experienced

If I join freedom does that mean I have to fight duty

@solid dome

[floral brook]

Yes

[gaunt valley]

Don’t rep duty

[open hawk]

Is groza a good gun to have or should I pick the ASVAL instead

[hidden stratus]

Represent Clear Sky!

[keen glen]

I don't like clear sky

[hidden stratus]

😠

[keen glen]

It's to easy CoP is the best

[hidden stratus]

interesting..

[lavish halo]

Gentlemen… SoC is the best but CoP is has better features

Like artifact hunting

[icy tiger]

Cs isn’t my favorite but I like it despite its flaws, and yes SoC is obviously the mvp

[lavish halo]

Just found wolf walking across the zone just made it to Rostok didn’t know he moved that’s awesome

[open hawk]

Is the groza good guys?

[frail sierra]

Does anyone know how to switch ammo types for the guns?

[late geyser]

"Y" at keyboard.

[hidden stratus]

stalker is an old ass game, theres no meta or anything like that. just use whatever you got more ammo for.

but yes it alright

[finite dragon]

Hello. how are you?

[calm aurora]

Hi ti all ..

Will Stalker chapter 2 really on sale on septemper? Cant wait for it on Pc … will be playing also on console?

[old jungle]

Release is set on September 5. It will be available for PC and XBOX.

[finite dragon]

does the console version of og trilogy have the multiplayer?

[worthy monolith]

Bought the console ver, im pleasantly surprised it runs pretty good, shadow of chernobyl so far anyways

[worthy monolith]

I dont see the reason why it wouldnt have a multiplayer

[finite dragon]

So it has?

[worthy monolith]

I dont see why not so probably, but its coming after the release as a free update

[wraith flax]

Hello everyone

[solid cosmos]

It does not have Multiplayer.

[finite dragon]

What are the differences and similarities between the multiplayer mods of the stalker og trilogy?

[solid cosmos]

All of them were team based arena modes like TDM or CTF or some variation of such. I believe there was also an artifact hunt. The MP servers have been dead for the last.. 10..? Years? Whenever Gamespy went down. I don't think they've been active, but I could be wrong.

The console versions don't have them added.

The multiplayer for Stalker 2 will be like it was for the trilogy. Team based arena modes, probably some free for all modes mixed in.

[worthy monolith]

Man ngl, the controller controls feels weird as hell

Im having trouble shooting stuff in the head lol

[rough grove]

Might only be in clear sky cuz that's the only console edition in the trilogy I've played so far but why is agroprom spelled as ahroprom with an H in the console edition is it like the Ukrainian spelling or something?

I wish I was able to post images to show what I mean but y'all may have noticed it too

I can't find anything about it online tho

[worthy monolith]

Its the same in shadow of chernobyl too

[gaunt burrow]

Ye its Ukrainjan spelling

[old jungle]

Yeah they changed some names with the Ukrainian spelling

[worthy monolith]

Im curious, is it just me or the aiming is kinda booty on console?

[rough grove]

It's not that bad but I'm probably used to it given I'm like 70% a console gamer

Mouse aiming is still better but is playable with controller

[worthy monolith]

I also played a lot of fps on console but im not too fond of the aim assist

Maybe its because its more of a multiplayer type aim assist and i didnt really play multiplayer

Like it doesnt pop onto the enemy but rather just floats around them yk yk

[rough grove]

Yeah I noticed a lot of de-russianizing like with SR which I still don't really know what it is, I feel like hryvnia would be more fitting especially in a Ukrainian setting

[gaunt burrow]

I see what you mean

They apparently renamed some characters too. Like changing Bes' name to Bis

Currency might as well could've been changed to Ukrainian hryvnia

[rough grove]

I think the only thing I was able to find is someone said to could possibly be Soviet rubles which aren't strictly Russian and could be general currency like dollars but ironically are from an occupied Ukraine so it didn't really make a whole lot of sense to me

[narrow basin]

Do you guys know if the pre order window for the physical edition is already closed? I made my pre order request back in october 2023 and the vendors here in germany still don't have availability

[old jungle]

I believe there will be restocks in the future but nobody knows for sure.

[finite dragon]

so basically the multiplayer mods were identical

also, where is alexander game on gog? i want to buy it but it's only retail, not digital 😦

[worthy monolith]

Everyones dying like flies on the console version, not to mention theres like a bug with the reload

Honestly getting quite frustrating

[rough grove]

They will probably make more in the summer closer to release and hopefully another trailer along with it

[finite dragon]

pc is the master race

[rough grove]

Yeah console edition is pretty buggy anomalous, on top of the fact clear sky is super buggy anomalous, I've been pretty lucky with the bugs only encountering minor bugs with the ai randomly shooting at the walls or sky and surprisingly no crashes yet

[dim timber]

Mine crashed like 3 times when i tried to unload an il 86 so your lucky

[rough grove]

My Xbox is pretty lucky when it comes to crashes, I really only have crashes if I'm playing games in beta with a lot of stuff going on or if I'm playing modded fallout 4 though I know playstation is notorious for crashing pretty often

[last ore]

The double barrelled shotgun reload bug is infuriating 😂

[fiery tundra]

So just out of curiosity at what point will I be entering the red forest in stalker shadow Chernobyl?

Im excited to experience it 👀

And is the truck cemetery in shadow?

[spring apex]

truck cemetery is custom map. not in any of trilogy

[spring apex]

when barkeep said so

[hazy helm]

they didnt fix the AI bugs?
impecable HAHA

[hazy helm]

Truck Cemitery is not a map in any of the Stalker games

[fiery tundra]

Oh?

That’s an anomaly only thing?

[twilit meadow]

Hello people

[hazy helm]

Truck Cemetery was one of the incomplete maps that was never put in the game (bc it sucked) it was added in CoC if I recall

[fiery tundra]

I haven’t had any bugs whatsoever so far but I’ve only played shadow

[fiery tundra]

CoC?

[hazy helm]

Call of Chernobyl
what every Freeplay mod is a fork of

[rough grove]

Shadow is generally less buggy though I remember once or twice when I died I got launched outside the map and it looked like I was on acid

[fiery tundra]

I thought truck cemetery looked really cool from what I saw of it in drewskis vids. Gave me the impression it would be a stash hotspot and having long range combat engagements with patrols or just roaming mutants seemed really cool for dynamic combat encounters

[rough grove]

It's kinda like anomaly before anomaly sorta

[fiery tundra]

I thought shadow was the least stable out of all of them lol at least on PC

[hazy helm]

you need to cut about half of the map and make the cemetery more confusing,it sucks as a normal map but if you make it a hunting map it'd be way more interesting

[fiery tundra]

Hunting for mutants?

[tight kayak]

I’m trying to leave the lab and the trader tells me to leave south of the building but there is no other exit

[spring apex]

lab x-16 ?

[fiery tundra]

A mutant focused area would be really cool now that you mention it

[old jungle]

South of the Dark Valley, not the building.

[spring apex]

ah x-18

[tight kayak]

Oh I was really getting pissed off,

[spring apex]

i found truck cemetery a fitting map if like 20vs20 faction war in that area

[hazy helm]

would suck as a multi map

[tight kayak]

Is there anywhere where i can buy and sell stuff?

Bc my armour is fully depleted and and I’m low on ammunition

[hazy helm]

at traders like sidor and barkeep

[tight kayak]

Thing is, it doesn’t give me an option to buy anything

[hazy helm]

click the trade button

[tight kayak]

I’m on ps

Wait no don’t matter I’m a moron

[vernal hazel]

Hey, I wanted to play the Story of shadow of chernobyl but I don't like the old graphics of the original game and found a mod called "shadow of chernobyl update" which greatly enhances the experience and make it closer to anomaly in terms of gunplay and graphics.

But the issue is that cutscenes are in russian/ukranian and I don't understand those.

Does anyone know if there are english custscenes available? I downloaded the original game and there are no game fokders with Sound configs. Only database files

[viral crater]

does anyone know if the ps5 version will be cross buy if i already bought the ps4 version? (when the ps5 one comes out)

[high dune]

It rans with backwards compatibility on PS5

[tight kayak]

It’s just ps4 there’s no ps5 version

[silk sparrow]

i wonder why they did ps4 not ps5

its already 4 yo platform

[silk sparrow]

this is different team right?

[hazy helm]

they are being helped by a polish company called Mataboo

[tight kayak]

The kurglov mission reminded me of what missions I hate

[inland iron]

So quick question for SoC. In the Wild Lands I entered Yantar and then hopped back across to the Wild Lands entrance after escorting Kirglov. Is that group of like 7 bandit stalkers supposed to spawn in?

I mean either way I'm gonna pitch a grenade at them I was just wondering.

[gaunt burrow]

Bandits and mercs spawn in the Wild Territory yeah

[inland iron]

I mean I get that it just surprised me when a conga line of like 7 of them spawned right in front of me

[jagged gale]

I am honored that it's the poles that helped them :D

[jagged gale]

"Wild Territory"
yeah it's a basic spawn point

[sly matrix]

Bandits and mutants spawn there

[thorn portal]

The infamous wild territory pseudogiant

[nimble cipher]

belzebub2352 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[thorn portal]

STOP SAYING CUSSWORDS GUYS!

ITS VIOLENT AND INNAPROPRIATE :(((

My wifes boyfirend doesnt like it when people cuss!

I steal your kobasica and you go basica

[thorn portal]

Ohoho you touch my kobasica 😏 ?

[solid dome]

We don't go that far in STOCtown

[boreal spear]

just found out boars can climb up stairs the hard way 😥

[granite coral]

Hello you sexy mother truckers

[rough grove]

I really wanna visit the red forest/exclusion zone but I also don't wanna spend thousands on equipment and a plane ticket to Romania, take a 16 hour road trip and risk getting bombed by rooskie missiles (in the off chance they work)

[rough grove]

(Irl ofc)

[granite coral]

Red Forest is extremely dangerous in the game

Don't go there

[rough grove]

Don't worry I'll just dangle some spaghetti from my mouth so the mutants think I'm a blood sucker

[granite coral]

Oh very nice tactic

[rough grove]

Well monolith, bandits, freedom, and loners will probably shoot me too

Perhaps I can just be a big shiny rock so everyone thinks I'm an artifact

[solid dome]

I'm sexy and I know it

[granite coral]

Hey my man

[granite coral]

[rough grove]

Imagine sitting on your butt all day smoking pot instead of helping fight the zones expansion

[granite coral]

Kebab is good meal 🔥

[solid dome]

Shishlik a killa

[meager verge]

Probably the greatest shadow drop of all time

[gaunt burrow]

Zones expansion is not confirmed tho. Although SoC does presents us the idea of its growth

In CoP where the Zone is at is most unstable state literally no one says its expending. Even Duty

[rough grove]

Sounds like some freedom propaganda to me buddy

[gaunt burrow]

[meager verge]

What do I need to know going in for the first game?

40$ for everything is a steal

[rough grove]

Play on master, sounds like a troll tip but it also puts enemies on master so you can one shot everyone in the head unless they got rly good armor and also save as much as possible

[meager verge]

Quickest 40$ I’ve ever spent tbqh

[rough grove]

Also a lot of people get lost within the first hour so just explore and talk to people to get a grasp of the zone and soon you will be doing quest after quest

[solid dome]

You die a lot and you quicksave-a-lot

[meager verge]

Which one do I start with?

[solid dome]

CS

If you into the plot, CS is prequel to SoC

[gaunt burrow]

Starting with SoC is still more preferable tbh

CS already assumes you played SoC before

[solid dome]

Plot wise its otherwise

Say what are you into, brother

[gaunt burrow]

And SoC also has encyclopedia where new player can learn about different things

[solid dome]

Plot, exploration, bandits ( )

[meager verge]

I just want to enjoy the ride

Plot wise I can piece it together

[gaunt burrow]

Sure, storywise CS happens first but SoC will give him a perfect understanding of stalker world

[meager verge]

I have all 3 games regardless

[gaunt burrow]

Either way never start with CoP. Ever

[meager verge]

🤣

[gaunt burrow]

CoP is the last game you should play

[rough grove]

Imo soc is a lot more well balanced when it comes to loot and enemies unlike C's which has glitchy grenade spamming enemies which are very abundant

[meager verge]

The fact that they dropped on XSX is incredible

[gaunt burrow]

Every NPC in Clear Sky throws grenades with 100% accuracy

[thorn portal]

I personally reccomend SoC first, its mechanically the simplest and it eases you in to stalker.

[gaunt burrow]

If it wasn't for that fact then nade spam wouldn't be so annoying for so many players

[thorn portal]

The amount of heavy ordinance the bandits carry in CS is insane, suprised they havent made the baseball national team with those biblical throwing arms

[loud gate]

Dodging grenades is very easy tho

[thorn portal]

It is but the problem is you kinda have to get out of cover to do it

[gaunt burrow]

Tell that to people who're annoyed by nade spam. Not me

[thorn portal]

Meaning youll just get doinked on the head

[loud gate]

No one is gonna one shot you, there's reasonable amount of time to get back in some other cover

[thorn portal]

Also its a bit goofy to hear a grenade throw voiceline and then dodge a A10 gun run

[thorn portal]

Lmao is this some gaslighting techinqe? "No one is gonna shoot you" ,blud hasnt spent one day in garbage tf

[earnest junco]

can anyone tell me how to fix extremly quiet dialogues in Clear Sky on steam?

it fking annoying

[loud gate]

Never experienced, check your sound settings.

[earnest junco]

ye i did, all is as it should be

[solid dome]

Never had such an issue in more than 10 years

[granite coral]

Try to restart your PC

[earnest junco]

all other dialogues like dudes talking around campfire etc works fine

only when i talk to someone its quiet af

[loud gate]

Just get good bro

[thorn portal]

Not all dialoges are voiced, is every voiced dialoge quiet or some?

[granite coral]

You can also check your game files and repair them

[gaunt burrow]

Dialogues of ordinary NPCs aren't voiced

[earnest junco]

every voiced dialogue is muffled

[gaunt burrow]

So thats not a problem

[loud gate]

This is why S2>>

[earnest junco]

ye i can tell diffrence between nonvoiced dialogues and voiced ones

[thorn portal]

Ah yes i just have to thug out the bullets the bandits toss at me lol, i love when people defend bullshi* game mechanichs by just saying get gud, and then in the same breath complain as to why people dont like the combat.

[thorn portal]

So the voices are just like whispers or not at all present?

[loud gate]

It's not bullshit, it's literally git gud

[earnest junco]

whispers

[thorn portal]

I did, i beat the game on master, there is no more getting gud lmao.

[earnest junco]

barerly hearable

[thorn portal]

Doesnt fix the fact that the nade spam is annoying and unnecesarrly so

[loud gate]

I'd say it's exaggerated too, but people make it sound way worse than it actually is.

[solid dome]

Ever had mods on?

[earnest junco]

no

[gaunt burrow]

Spam itself isn't even annoying tbh. Its the fact that literally every enemy NPC throws nades with 100% accuracy, so you gotta run away in order not to get hit by nades

Or kill them before they'll manage to throw the nade

[loud gate]
