though, reading up on it, the mission giving it as reward does require killing 3 freedom members. make sure you're in their good books so your reputation can take the hit

[wet lark]

Alright

[sand gorge]

Is that a bad thing?

[wet lark]

Imo yeah, I wanna be friendly with them lol

[covert slate]

hoping that Mol1t is observing and reads that i want him to check out my thread in the suggestions tab

[hasty flame]

man this release made me want to play the trilogy again on PC but I want the quality of life changes brought to consoles including controller support

[covert slate]

ironically that's the reason i want him to see the thread i made lol

[wet lark]

Im having a lot of stash bugs but besides that console version has been just fine

[sand gorge]

Well I'm not giving Clear Sky another chance

Got the Lefty stuck bug

[spring apex]

lure bloodsuckers to kill the freedomers

[nimble cipher]

ringo0utlaw has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sand gorge]

Damn what did you say?

[wet lark]

Thats the problem with the console ports, we have all the same bugs as PC but none the mods to fix them

[sand gorge]

I'll play it tomorrow but I'll have to reload a bit

[wet lark]

Youre giving it another chance?

[sand gorge]

Yeah I want the full experience

[worthy monolith]

he called you a poopoohead

[worthy monolith]

well not all but most of them

[wet lark]

Howd you know

[worthy monolith]

spent enough time in the zone to read the anomalies

[sand gorge]

I'm going to reload an autosave the game gave me after I went to the underground

[wet lark]

Well I hope it works, I read somewhere off of reddit that a guy had the same bug and it wouldnt fix itself on any of his other saves

[sand gorge]

If it doesn't work I'll bite the bullet and restart

[wet lark]

[full osprey]

Hi everyone. Can someone help me out with understanding something? In CS when the game determines what artifact will spawn? I'm struggling with Artifact sommerlier achievement on console, which requires you to get all artifacts. I'm 23/25 and I know I didn't find Kolobok and Snowflake. Can I load earlier save and try to reroll some anomalies? Or does the game build the world at the very beginning and everything is defined from the start? Also... What are those "meat" artifacts 😅

[sand gorge]

Youtube

[sly matrix]

In vanilla, artifacts are determkned when you first enter a map

Snowflake is only possible in red forest(poltergeist pit) and military warehouses(swamp)

[rough grove]

I get the focus is that a bunch of stalkers went north because the brain scorcher was shut off but why is the map in cop so small like it could have at least had red Forest, cnpp, limansk maybe even Rostok

[gaunt burrow]

CoP focuses on locations that are beyond the Scorcher

Southern locations in CoP aren't the main focus anymore

[gaunt burrow]

Snowflake you can get either in Yantar, Red Forest or Army Warehouses

look for electro anomalies

[full osprey]

This is actually a useful information, thank you. I'll just need to reroll Yantar and Red Forrest and hope that achievement stacks

[gaunt burrow]

1 Kolobok can be given to you by Leshiy, if you'll manage to keep all of his merc teammates alive

[full osprey]

I know, but the only save I have is like the second the first guy dies. I was playing this game 15 years ago, I didn't know about snipers in the bushes 🙂

[full osprey]

This is... Awe inspiring.

[cunning onyx]

Hey STALKERS any tips for the Garbage? Soon as I walk out near the train are about 8 bandits with automatic rifles. Death happens in about 0.12 seconds

[hazy helm]

lean

[gaunt burrow]

Well Kolobok also can be at poisonus Yantar swamp

Yantar, Red Forest and Army Warehouses all have some very good artifacts

[full osprey]

It was there!

Got Kolobok from the swamp and Snowflake from the garage with electro a minute later. Apparently the achievement stacks as I just unlocked it 🙂

Now, I know that pendrive from Drifter is a no-go, so I only need to figure out what those "meat" artifacts are... But I might have an idea :/

[sly matrix]

[worthy monolith]

Oh ty, he already told me to open in browser and its good quality there

[hazy helm]

download the original image and its not

download the shitty compressed discord image

its gonna be shitty

[broken latch]

When I downloaded via phone on the website it would still be compressed

[glossy blade]

Artemida...

Save me

[solid dome]

Artemida, my queen, never says a word

[glossy blade]

Has there been any word at all regarding the multiplayer portion of the game?

[solid dome]

Can we have confirmation Artemida is doing good?

[tawny salmon]

We're gonna have stalker esports

[amber tendon]

Maybe small lan tournaments

[solid dome]

LAN in 2024?

You are on heavy acid

[amber tendon]

LAN not as in connection type

I meant small tournaments, should have worded better

[tawny salmon]

They use LAN for tournaments to lower the amount of lag and ping

[hazy helm]

VLAN is still,very much a used thing,yes

it is not outdated

[tawny salmon]

Ye

They use it in all tournaments im pretty sure

[solid dome]

VLAN I have to GOogle

[glossy blade]

yes

[amber tendon]

Are you feeding him well?

Is he getting enough tourist delight?

[glossy blade]

[solid dome]

Not by you, by her.

[glossy blade]

you can ping her

[solid dome]

I dont want to infiltrate her space

Artemida, Queen of Zonea, please type here!!!

[shrewd steeple]

I know I'm late to the discussion but what about Lost Alpha? As far as I'm aware It does not uses custom XRay engine

[sonic cosmos]

Nice, coop part i knew tho. No really something i like anyways

[shrewd steeple]

Also, mods will be feature in Sony ps4/5

[solid dome]

We wait and see

[hazy helm]

Lost Alpha uses it's own Custom edits on the engine yes

[icy prism]

You didn't say it to me, but I don't mind doing so

@ivory swallow

Mol1t, is there a reason why you are the only CM actively communicating with the community?

[glossy blade]

I am the one who is active in Discord

[icy prism]

I see you are active on both DC and Reddit. But I used to see Prophet and McCulkin before as well.

[glossy blade]

if you go to Steam forums I bet you will spot Prophet quickly

[icy prism]

Ohhh... I see

[hazy helm]

Are we ever getting GSC forums back?

[glossy blade]

MC Culkin is more active on platforms where we are hidden behind GSC/S.T.A.L.K.E.R. accounts

[open hawk]

Stalker among us mod?

[glossy blade]

We can create forums in Discord

[loud gate]

Who is running the Twitter account?

[open hawk]

😌

[hazy helm]

we lost all that information and data man, shame

[solid dome]

Shouldnt have dissed the forums

Zillion of topics worth having today were deleted like its some trash information

[glossy blade]

random setback to forums discussions

I guess we had it in ask_gsc

[loud gate]

Anyone said #ask_gsc?

[solid dome]

When we have ask_gsc back?

Are you afraid of Krezzin asking a lot?

[glossy blade]

depends, mostly Culkin is the one who responds to you

[icy prism]

I miss seeing the other GSC staff around here anyway. I guess with the closing of ask_GSC they rethought roles and reassigned tasks to the team.

[loud gate]

Tell McCulkin he is an amazing Twitter Operator

[icy prism]

Pastorazzi is missing too

[glossy blade]

you are already in the process of fulfilling this claim

[solid dome]

I have 200 questions more. Open up, FBI!

[regal sapphire]

in what stalker vanilla game does the npc say "Wats ap bro"

[covert slate]

i think i remember hearing it in COP, can't remember for sure though

[regal sapphire]

thats what I was thinking but wasnt sure

im basically just going to dig through the game files and find that specific file for the voiceline

[low token]

Call of Prypiat

There are similar quotes in the previous games but not in english

[regal sapphire]

💪

[finite dragon]

I am tired and sleepy.

[solid dome]

[solid dome]

Its not called Call of Pripyat anymore, its spelled Call of Prypiat

GSC played it clever and they dont have the games logos altered anywhere on the internet, it's just the Legend logo

I guess they'd changed it if they kept the project files for the logos themselves - since they dont...

[low token]

So... As I spelled ?

[solid dome]

You nailed it brah

[low token]

[sly matrix]

Days between CoP release and HoC release: 5452

[solid dome]

Only 3 things in life are certain: birth, death, and insanity over lack of communication from GSC

[tight kayak]

I was playing soc and remembered this quote from halo 3

[solid dome]

@tight kayak Share couple bars with us

Its how some of us tend to cope, either by telling copypastas or doing cool bars

Give the person an example @gaunt burrow Matt is the Georgian Method Man

[low token]

days between announce of SoC and release of SoC : 5 years and a half ^^

I was so hyped at that time ^^.

[sly matrix]

Considering S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 was all but cancelled for years, I'm pretty hyped it's coming out at all. Couldn't care less about the delays

[solid dome]

Good math, it's 16 years since SoC fell from the clear skies

[solid dome]

Delays for me are needles in my eyeballs. Each time it hurts more and more.

Ten-twelve years or so ago I didn't give a funk about STALKER, wasn't even a fan. Alas since the market is flooded with trash FPS titles and zero creativity, I fell in love with the Ukrainain blockbuster

Here I am

First it was RTCW, then it was Half-Life into F.E.A.R. and STALKER is the last unique FPS

I can't think of any FPS worth being called unique after 2007

Far Cry 3 comes to miind but it wasn't an invention really, since F1 came in 2003

[sly matrix]

Far cry blood dragon

[solid dome]

FPS games right now are stuck in a loop

Rehashing till death

[sly matrix]

I've always been a fan of battlefield 2142

[solid dome]

I was talking uniqueness, as in something not explored before - RTCW had the occult aspect, Half-Life had a very hard to describe sci-fi touch, F.E.A.R. combined horror and sci-fi elements in the perfect way possible and STALKER gone fulll post-apocalyptic

FPS games of nowadays are what, CoD clones, fast paced arena based RNG grinds, each copying the other and claiming to be immersive experience

[sly matrix]

Hmm, for uniqueness and innovation you're better of trying indi-games nowadays

[solid dome]

AAA games tend to market themselves as innovative

[sly matrix]

While they are all but...

[solid dome]

0 of it to be seen
I may be criticizing the industry but it is you who cannot see the bs

So said Skif

[sly matrix]

I mean, I can see it. But instead of spending my days getting upset about it I just replay games from the time they were good

[solid dome]

I do the the same, though I kinda played everything I could think of so ran out of options

[sly matrix]

Branch out

[solid dome]

I've gone into DOS games lately

[sly matrix]

Other genres, or other activities within the genre(art, cosplay, roleplay, modding)

[storm wren]

Is the CNPP visible in Call of Pripyat? I know the ferris wheel and palace of culture is

[low token]

You could give a try to "1001 video games you must play before you die" 😁

[solid dome]

Art? I'm not built for it. Cosplay, I'm born during different times. Roleplay? I kinda do it here from time to time only for funsies. Modding, I don't have enough time nor enough skills I can do modding to the extent I want.

[sly matrix]

Or as Vlad suggested, content creation

Twitch/youtube

[solid dome]

I'm thinking of kicking off a STALKER 2 related channel on YouTube so I can cover my experience with the game and stuff

Have to learn video editing first and the way I progress, I wouldn't do much for the next 6 months. Bored lately.

It says you just have to kill a sniper in a tower

Is it bugged

[solid dome]

Console?

[spring apex]

no unless the said sniper killed skull first (the commander)

[serene urchin]

Because immediately after I accept the quest the quest giver gets shot and the quest fails

[serene urchin]

Yes

[solid dome]

It could be bugged on the consolole versions

[spring apex]

hahaha knew it

[serene urchin]

Does Stalker 2 release for PS5

[solid dome]

Its backwards compatible

[spring apex]

yeah you can play it in ps5 too

[solid dome]

Whatever it means

[serene urchin]

But it only release in september

[spring apex]

wait shi

i thought you were talking legends of trilogy

[solid dome]

Oh not STALKER 2, STALKER 1 is

[spring apex]

my bad, no info about that

[serene urchin]

Yeah I bought the trilogy

[solid dome]

S2 may come to PS5 after the Xbox exclusivity deal expires, aka 3 months

[serene urchin]

Funny nobody is talking about how it released outta nowhere for ps and xbox

[river shard]

who tf is playing stalker 2 on console

[serene urchin]

Ah, so november december

[river shard]

you playin stalker on console you deserve nothing but the worst

[solid dome]

Likely 2025

[serene urchin]

Im talking about the new one

[river shard]

ion care if the console port sucks console players deserve it

[solid dome]

Lol

[river shard]

mf theres only one stalker 2

[serene urchin]

Ok

[river shard]

well technically theres an old cancelled stalker 2 but shut up

[solid dome]

General confusion has entered the chat

[river shard]

called stalker 2

mfw

[spring apex]

[serene urchin]

Fourth game

[river shard]

third main game

Real talk, General Confusion would be a kick-ass nickname

[river shard]

clear sky doesnt count because it was a prequel

Is clear skies a spinoff

its a prequel so not main game.....

Sometimes I refer to SoC as SoCk and I can't help it

[river shard]

im going NOTthe route of the russians and NOT pirating it

[solid dome]

Its like my brain automatically types SoCk instead of SoC

[river shard]

that was NOT a joke

wallahi gsc dont strike me down 🙏

[solid dome]

Edit out the comment before mods ban you for endorsing P-ratin'

[sly matrix]

Unsafe joke, yeah...

[river shard]

i mean the russians have a fair reason to pirate it but......

okay guys message fixed

[solid dome]

Rules say no comments on peeraten

[river shard]

can i refer to russians doing it as "getting the game the only plausible way"

you have a patrick bateman pfp

opinion invalidated

[river shard]

say the line gammajak!

in the words of patron saint grok;
"stalker sucks"

[solid dome]

He is on that STALKER should have been PC only and remained so

It can turn enough profit for the developers without a console release

[river shard]

i dont want stalker 2 to release guys... the less games in the series the easier to gatekeep

[solid dome]

Shut yo ass

[sly matrix]

Rofl

[river shard]

ill scare off all the newgens with mge edits

you can't gatekeep forever, it makes more sense to direct the mainstream

Isn't gen Z since 1995?

[river shard]

you gotta stay off the mainstream man

[solid dome]

Fork-knife, lol

Love it

[river shard]

thats what makes most triple a games suck!

[sly matrix]

1995 is one of the used cut-offs, i think 1997 is another one used by others

you can't, especially when the games weren't ever intended to be underground

Screw CoP. We should cop ourselves a batch of freshly baked Stalker 2 shots.

[river shard]

cop is bad and has the worst map

[gaunt burrow]

In terms of main story yes

[solid dome]

Stalker 2 should have Cops and Robbers mode

[sly matrix]

I wish i could get non stop energy drink around here

[solid dome]

A hide n seek mode, must have

[river shard]

CoP fans when you show them what progression is

[sly matrix]

Pity, would be a good one

When Molit kills you with rocks, you become worm fuuud.

[sly matrix]

Eating wormfood, knowing wormfood, being wormfood

[covert slate]

i am going to point at this sausage

[gaunt burrow]

Idk why this worm food line isn't memed more honestly

[sly matrix]

I'm calling the cops...

[gaunt burrow]

I legit think its way more funnier than Cheeki Breeki and other memes

[covert slate]

i have it on a discord soundboard

[solid dome]

Worm fuuuuuuud, tasty worm fuuud, expired cans of worm fuuud. Suit yourselves.

[sly matrix]

If we're the worm food, who's the worm?

[solid dome]

@ivory swallow Since you're here, do you actually go to events to promote the game with the other CMs?

[undone ibex]

Hey guys i have a question on clear sky.

You know when you first grt to lymansk, is therr any way to not lose bandit rep? Ive saves the part at the beginning where you give the 2 bandits a med kit, but then moving further forwards to the battle...you lose another whole chunk..just wondering if this can be avoided or its part of the final game where bandits basically become an enemy?

[sly matrix]

Going to limansk is a 1 way ticket

[solid dome]

LiBANsk

[granite coral]

Lemonsk

[sly matrix]

Bandit reputation is irrelevant at that point

[solid dome]

Good one

[granite coral]

You mean Bandit ambush in Limansk?

[undone ibex]

@granite coral bingo.

[granite coral]

You can kill them early before they hit you

[undone ibex]

I didnt prepare enough and only have 1 bar on bandit and theres no way to go gain more rep so i csn kill 1 or 2 and be fine, and then it puts me in negative

[granite coral]

Aim at the windows at certain directions while you apparoch them

But watch out for the mines on the ground

[undone ibex]

Yeah i caught that one 😄, sneeki breeki!

[granite coral]

You can kill them with any scoped gun before they hit you

They are hiding near the windows

[undone ibex]

Being hit isnt the issue, its when i shoot the bandit gunner it takes more reputation off and i cant be bothered dealing with bandits for the endgame, ive been good with them thus far

Was wondering if there was a workaround.
Will the gunner eventuslly be killed? Do i go stealth and kill him and its fine, trying to find another option than just shooting him so i can keep the reputation with them in the green.

[granite coral]

You cannot turn back once you enter the Limansk so it doesn't matter Bandit rep beyond this point

[undone ibex]

Oh? So limansk is the point of no rueturn essentially?

[sly matrix]

It's also the last time you'l encounter them

[granite coral]

Yes

[gaunt burrow]

Yep

In SoC it's CNPP

[undone ibex]

Ohhhhh okay. Cool it doesnt matter then, ive got a save just before lymansk so i can continue the game after, and get the rest of the achievements,

[granite coral]

So always be prepared well before entering Limansk because from there the game will be much more difficult and dangerous

[gaunt burrow]

Restock on your supplies and repair equipement before entering Limansk

[undone ibex]

So in clear sky there is no pripyat or cnpp? Lymansk is one of the final areas?

[sly matrix]

First of the final areas

[gaunt burrow]

Limansk is one of the last locations yeah. And CNPP is the last one

[granite coral]

CNPP is the final area but we cannot traverse it in CS

[gaunt burrow]

Limansk, then Hospital and lastly CNPP

[loud gate]

I hate Limansk was just a linear end game level

[undone ibex]

Right cool, so im gonna go back and buy another seva and fully upgrade it for bullet sponging.

[granite coral]

Once you deactivate Strelok's suit protection, the game will be over

[loud gate]

It's honestly so good, and so incredibly great looking for its time.

[gaunt burrow]

Limansk had a lot of potential ngl

But it was only used for firefights

[loud gate]

It was still mega cool imo

[undone ibex]

I love the aesthetic of lamansk, a tight knight close quarters village, i hope they have something like that in stalker 2, most areas have been very big and very wide open so far

[gaunt burrow]

I still like Limansk nonethless

[granite coral]

Limansk is the best level in Stalker

[gaunt burrow]

Are bandits fully hostile with you?

Only Limpid the bandit technician can fully upgrade SEVA

[undone ibex]

Not right now no, @gaunt burrow i have 1 bar on friendly 🤣

[granite coral]

Did you find the Bubble artifact near the bridge @undone ibex

[gaunt burrow]

Aight. Now you need to give Limpid 3 flash drives (if you already haven't)

[undone ibex]

I played the game safely and smart, had to restart but ive got all 17 flash drives (wolfs stupid brother just does not want to give me the last one)
Pretty much got everything.
1 bubble, 2 gravi's 1 1 of each of chemical, burn, emission, im pretty stacked at this point.

[granite coral]

There are lots of Bubble artifact in CS

[gaunt burrow]

Wait, Drifter not offering the flash drive coordinates bug is in console too?

[undone ibex]

Yup @gaunt burrow

[gaunt burrow]

Sucks. Thought they'd fix it tbh

[undone ibex]

The gamr is pretty much a ported pc version, bugs and all, the only thing different is the weapons wheel.

[old jungle]

Of course, bugs were not corrected

[undone ibex]

SoC Absolutely suuuuuucked for bugs, Clear sky is much better, and im hoping pripyat will be the caveat to them both

[granite coral]

Use ZRP for SoC

[undone ibex]

#Xbox 😄✌️

[loud gate]

Do it (don't)

[granite coral]

Oh sorry lol

[warped copper]

Welp i think soc broke me lol

Im at the sarcophagus but keep getting shwacked

[gaunt burrow]

Reload previous saves and restock on your supplies before CNPP

[undone ibex]

@warped copper sarcophogous SUCKED for me...i was NOT prepared at all to go through that, i had no medkits, no bandages, minimal ammo, no armour 🤣 if you saw how i got through that level...you'd have been amazed, i didnt realise at first but you can get exo armour pretty much at the beginning of the factory area,

[warped copper]

Between the radiation, only one medkit, and the fact that i have the durability of a wet napkin in the game, id say im done lol

[gaunt burrow]

Only annoying thing in Sarcophagus is radiation tbh

[warped copper]

For me its the enemies on top of it

They can take the hits but i cant

[undone ibex]

Yeah the enemies are basically tanks...grt good at headshots or throwing grenades 🤣

[old jungle]

Artifacts can take care of the radiation

[warped copper]

Like ive played tough but fair games but sarcophagus is just sadistic

[gaunt burrow]

I mean at this point you guys should have a good weapon(s)

Enemies shouldn't be that huge of a problem

[warped copper]

Its mostly lack of healing supplies

[old jungle]

I suggest using a 9x39mm weapon. It will shred through them and they drop ammo for it.

[gaunt burrow]

^

Pretty much all 9x39 weapons are good

[undone ibex]

I think i was using an AK until i found the f200 on sarcophogous 🤣

[gaunt burrow]

GP37 is pretty good as well

[warped copper]

I think im going to just take a break lol

My sanity requires it

[undone ibex]

@warped copper theres no shame in reloading a previous save (aslong as it doesnt bug out) and going in more prepared.

[loud gate]

GP is the bomb

[gaunt burrow]

Agree

[open hawk]

Would be cool if there was character customization in stalker 2 👀

[loud gate]

Different suits change your looks

[open hawk]

Talking abt like actual character, hair, eyes ETC…

[loud gate]

Most likely no.

[gaunt burrow]

Ye I don't see that ever happening

[undone ibex]

Side question.
Which guns should i use endgame?

Ive got the SVD
SGI 5
SVUmk2
TRs 301
(Definitely bringing akm trophy)
TUNDER S14

[gaunt burrow]

I'd go with Tunder

[sand fiber]

whatever you got at the warehouses should be fine

[loud gate]

Viper-5

[tight kayak]

Pmm only

[undone ibex]

@loud gate maybe on another playthrough 🤣

[wet lark]

Is the svd good?

[loud gate]

No, this one

Viper Supremacy, best gun in the game

[granite coral]

Use knife 🥴

[gaunt burrow]

Imho yes

[undone ibex]

You know what...Let me just throw bolts at them, who needs guns.

[granite coral]

Throw a kiss at them 😄

[undone ibex]

So Would you say use the tunder s14 over the vinter? Thr vinters fully upgraded whereas the tunder would need 30k to upgrade...

[loud gate]

Probably the best gun in the game actually.

beside the Viper-5, of course

[gaunt burrow]

Vintar is goated but theres 1 small issue

Very small ammo capacity in the mag. Tunders mag can hold more ammo

[open hawk]

Avalanche is good 😇

[gaunt burrow]

If you have tons of 9x39 ammo then you can use Tunder and have Vintar as the backup gun

[undone ibex]

@open hawk avanalnche doesnt have a scope...otherwise i would, its basically the vinter eith 5 extrs bullets in the mag.

I need long distance and a acope because that silly swaying movement is annoying on iron sights,

[open hawk]

Yee

[gaunt burrow]

You can get a unique Sniper VLA from Voronin (Duty leader) after completing "Purge the Freedomers" sidequest

[undone ibex]

@gaunt burrow im thinking then upgrade tunder, rock out with the trophy akm (otherwise i'll never use it) and have a backup gun eith 545x45.

I DO NOT want to be in the same situstion as i was in SoC running out of shit 🤣 and having to django unchained my way through CNPP like a wordclass chess player.

[gaunt burrow]

PSO scope can be attached to that Sniper VLA

Nvm what I said. I remembered that you play CS lol

[spring apex]

tunder + pso + silencer meta

[gaunt burrow]

Trophy AK is arguebly the strongest

[spring apex]

oh yeah Ak 762 shreds too

you can rush limansk with those

[gaunt burrow]

It uses 7.62x54 ammo

[undone ibex]

Im just making sure im gonna have fun, through lamansk and the rest of the way,

@gaunt burrow got 2000 ammo from getting the pkm so ammo is fine 🤣

[spring apex]

brrtt time

[gaunt burrow]

Good. RIP enemies then

You should easily be complete the game with Trophy AK

[undone ibex]

Cool, thanks for the information its highly appreciated, ✌️ tunder with a pso and silencer it is, seva armour, akm as backup, and a "Viper" to satisfy the hardcore fans

[open hawk]

Where can you get that

[gaunt burrow]

Do sidequests for Cordon loners

[open hawk]

Ohh ok ✅

[gaunt burrow]

One of the sidequests should be about Trophy AK retrieval

[spring apex]

and don't actually give the ak back to the loners

[sly matrix]

AK that uses 7.62 ammo, so it hits like a truck on steroids

[spring apex]

yeah it is basically a mini PKM

×54mmR shreds

[finite dragon]

how do i profit at shadow of chernobyl

i earn money and i spend it on gear and consumables

[sly matrix]

selling artifacts to sakharov

[finite dragon]

i am always barely making ends meet

who is that person also should i have multiple guns or only one since it takes weight and idk

[sly matrix]

sakharov is the scientist at the bunker in yantar, he pays full price for artifacts

[gaunt burrow]

Do sidequests

Sidequests are literally money farming simulator

[finite dragon]

unless they tell me to kill a dude who is literally in the middle of a village

[gaunt burrow]

1 advice tho: have every item prepared before accepting item retrieval sidequests

So you won't have to search for these items anymore

[finite dragon]

what are some guns i should use

and what should i avoid... i feel like pistols are more accurate and i pull off some cs2 trickshots but the aks take forever to kill anything

[gaunt burrow]

Viper 5 in early stage, unique fast shooting AK mid stage and any 9x39 weapon at late stage

[finite dragon]

do i sell other

i usually have pistol, pistol with supress, ak, viper, shotgun and grenades

[gaunt burrow]

I wouldn't rely on pistols too much tbh

[finite dragon]

yes but pistol ammo is easy to find

viper ammo is hmm hard and since bandits raid me every 2 seconds hmmm

[gaunt burrow]

Viper ammo hard? It uses 9x19 wdym

[finite dragon]

i never have more htan 30

[gaunt burrow]

9x19 is literally one of the most common ammo

[finite dragon]

for pistol i have 800

[gaunt burrow]

@finite dragon theres 2 boxes at the Garbage. With a looot of ammo

Give me 5 mins so I can send you a screenshot

[finite dragon]

should i sell all guns except the viper 5

[gaunt burrow]

What are conditions of these guns?

[tight kayak]

Found my metro books

[gaunt burrow]

If they have good condition then I'd rather store them in blue boxes

[finite dragon]

what are conditions

[gaunt burrow]

If they are in poor condition then you might as well sell them

[gaunt burrow]

Gun durability

[finite dragon]

idk that i just sell the old ones and use the most recently found one

or buy at sidorovitch

[gaunt burrow]

Ok wait

Let me send screenshots give me few mins

[finite dragon]

i havve merc gear

what is that armor from space

[sly matrix]

Seva suit

[finite dragon]

i just completed the steal documents quest

is that still early game ?

[sly matrix]

fairly

[finite dragon]

ok i will go and farm side quests ( assassinations) i guesses

idk what to do because i walk a long distance and get banged by bandits all the time

[low token]

Assassination ? I thought you were short on ammo

[finite dragon]

knife

[sly matrix]

you are never low on ammo when you use a knife

[thorn portal]

The main problem with knifes is their funky hit box, Chaoticsm best described it, the knifes range is an arms length, yet the enemies collision box is also an arm length long, so you often end up swingin widly in the air praying the slash connects xD

[warped copper]

So i got a little bit farther

Would it be acceptable to give up at this point lol?

[worthy lagoon]

I am at work

[sly matrix]

does your work involve hiking?

[solid cosmos]

On to clearsky now that I've gotten both the true ending and the "I want to be rich" ending of Shadow of chernobyl.

It gets really easy to just have a crapton of money by the end of the game lol

[gaunt burrow]

SoC and CoP is literally money farming simulator

Economy in CS is way harder. One of the many reasons why I prefer Clear Sky

[sly matrix]

selling upgraded guns from duty can earn you a nice little sum

[solid cosmos]

It's just been a long time since I've played vanilla shadow of chernobyl. Forgot how easy it was to get artefacts and how easy it was to get money.

[open hawk]

Barely anything tbh

[open hawk]

I sold a ton of duty guns from dead duty and go barley anything from vendors

I sold a PKM which was valued at 50k and got 8k felt scammed

[sly matrix]

i meant he upgraded ones

[open hawk]

I did too, the AN94s with scopes and stuff

[gaunt burrow]

Who did you sold these guns to?

Never sell guns to bandit trader Tooth because frankly, he pays jacksh*t for weapons

[sly matrix]

an94s with stuff like rof upgrades go for 2-3 k a piece

[gaunt burrow]

I'd rather sell weapons to Shilov. More profit

[undone ibex]

QUESTION: Does changing the tunder from 39x to 5.56x45 change anything? Or does it just make the gun more accessible to ammo?

[tacit otter]

I am loving how stable and smooth the gameplay is on Playstation. I wonder how they did it.

But also, what are the odds of us getting the console update on PC? I would love to have the control scheme available on my SDeck

[gaunt burrow]

5.45x39 caliber upgrade for Tunder replaces its ammo. For example after that upgrade Tunder will now use 5.45x39 ammo

Instead of 9x39

[sly matrix]

Cheaper ammo, more powerful than the other guns of that calibre

[undone ibex]

I understand, does it make it weaker in damage and change physical stats? Or will it still punch just as hard

[sly matrix]

Armor penetration is dependant on ammo if i'm not mistaken

So that does go down

[undone ibex]

I'll just keep it at x39 then, cheers ✌️, coming here saves me scouring the internet for an hour for basic information 🤣

[gaunt burrow]

Keep 9x39 yeah

[sly matrix]

Downgrading calibre can be useful if you want to create a dirt-gun

A gun that uses the ammo of lower grade enemies but retains the damage of a higher end gun.(unless I'm getting my mechanics wrong)

[thorn portal]

For most weapon stats and changes i suggest you check the wiki fandom, it has a lot of info.

[undone ibex]

Good shout, i just see myself scouring information for a long time is all, hard to navigatr so many pages and so much informstion for one tadbit of info, but i'll check it out ✌️

[finite dragon]

where is the family rifle
when does the egghead pay me

[hazy helm]

look at your objectives

[finite dragon]

im where it says doesnt help

[hazy helm]

it tells you where the rifle is and you will be payed when at yantar

[sly matrix]

[rapid shadow]

hello, i have a question, which are the main bugs /problems in CS and SHOC on PC version?

[finite dragon]

I got a contract but I failed at being stealthy so stalkers saw me and I won. Will I be hated back at bar since I got spotted??

[sand gorge]

The main bug for CS is one where you will be softlocked and will not be able to progress the main story because a mission will not auto complete and you will have to reload to before you entered Yantar

[sand gorge]

Did the contract ask you to be stealthy?

[finite dragon]

Idk didn't read saw kill so went and killed

They were those big suit type guys

[nimble cipher]

itsaerynnornothing has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[rapid shadow]

OK, let me see if that mission is fixed on console version

[sand gorge]

It's not

I have to reload back an hour after I went into agraprom underground

[sly matrix]

Kill the master stalker?

[finite dragon]

Yes

And traitor

[rapid shadow]

oh

[sand gorge]

Then you won't be hated

[sly matrix]

Only his companions there will be hostile

[finite dragon]

They are ded

[sly matrix]

Your reputation might tale a minor hit, but it shouldn't be noticable

[rapid shadow]

but despite that, the console version keeps all the bugs of pc versions or they fixed some of them?

[finite dragon]

I love knifing big suit guys and making their friends watch so they know they were never safe to begin with so they die sad and scared questioning their entire lives

[gaunt burrow]

[sand gorge]

They keep all the bugs

[gaunt burrow]

Yes officer this man right there

[ember mesa]

Can we still order the physical ultimate edition for 2 or are they sold out, I’m not tryna get scalped for $900 resell lol

[rapid shadow]

ok, thank you 😦

[tight kayak]

Anyone else listen to kino?

[sand gorge]

Kino?

[rapid shadow]

i know 3 songs but i´m still learning how to pronounce them jaja

[finite dragon]

Kino yes

I'm trying to find more UA stuff but strugglin

Do any of u know some stalkery Ukrainian post punk or any genre rly

[undone ibex]

Just finished im lymansk, my armour is toast...but i got shitloads of ammo 🤣 and 4 pkm's, hopefully theres a trader and a technician in pripyat

[solid dome]

Damn, girl. You should have went to Gamescom to meet Anomalous the Great himself.

Anomalous Dugout!!!

[unkempt dragon]

Big fan here

Actually was introduced to their music through metro exodus and i further explored it from there

[tight kayak]

I heard it through omnistar east

[sand gorge]

The messiah of Stalker

[finite dragon]

this game can be overwhelming

im exausted very after the laboratory mission

[solid dome]

Overwhelming

Sweet Baby Jesus, man!

[finite dragon]

why u say this

its exausting very this game long missions and no resources

[solid cosmos]

gotta prepare well

[meager lily]

I found "bread"

Why exist?

[solid cosmos]

Any time I know I'm going underground somewhere, I'm bringing a crapload of ammo

Also "bread" exists simply because it does! Just sell it to a trader or a stalker.

[meager lily]

I found THE "bread"

[solid cosmos]

Some speculate it's a NPC item that was misplaced. There's only 3 in the game and you get them from Borov's office.

[dreamy depot]

Anyone have their saves go bad in ps4 version? Game keeps crashing while trying to load my last save

[unkempt dragon]

Underground means upcoming call of duty moment

[sand gorge]

Clear Sky is worse

[finite dragon]

Why

Everywun pisses on cs whyss

[dreamy depot]

What resources are you talking about?

[finite dragon]

Food, heals, antirads, energy drinks

[dreamy depot]

You have to search all dead bodies and some also trigger hidden caches. Theres tons if you re run areas

Also almost all npcs sell them

[wise prism]

stalker multiplayer?

that sounds cool, i didnt knew there was

what do players do in multiplayer

ohh

well i cant rn im about to sleep but if one day i can i let you know, im downloading the game after a couple years.

im coming back

[hidden stratus]

I feel like we are actually owed a trailer now its been 3 months.

And before anyone says, "just wait" i get it. But E3 was a long time ago as well.

what? just is general? or is there something more specific you asking

not right now

im in my metro phase 🫡

yeah it can make it fun but it cant make time pass any faster.

would've made sense to drop a trailer with the console release.

Clear Sky Clear Sky Clear Sky Clear Sky

ah good luck with that

more people are playing on consoles yea but no one plays the mulitplayer. nothing to it really

trailer? probably within the next 2 months. game? within the next 5 years.

shhh dont say delays. might make the wrong people light their torches and grab their pitchforks

especially next to excuse

yep. everyone does. probs to everyone else here go been waiting since e3.

next year tho. GTA6

i believe them. no reason to lie. I know i been waiting since then as well. just didnt think I would still be waiting today

i meant i believe ppl that say they been waiting since e3. if you talking abt the devs yeah i dont believe them

But it has to come out at some point right?

right..?

[solid cosmos]

Honestly this year is so stacked with games for me that the wait feels really easy to deal with.

The og trilogy re-releasing on consoles, Dragon's dogma 2, Star wars outlaw and Ghost of Tsushima in like may/june. That'll all hold me over until closer to the end of the year where Stalker 2 will be and then beyond that is Gta 6

I hear good things!

I want EDF 6 to hit pc 😭

The stalker trilogy? Pretty good. I really wish the controller support would hit pc lol. I beat shadow of chernobyl earlier today on master so I mean, it's been a good experience if I can slog through that.

[warped copper]

ok sarcophagus is nigh impossible on console

imma just replay on pc

[solid cosmos]

Just take things slow. What are you struggling with?

[tawny salmon]

The controls being shit

Mainly because stalker wasn't really designed for consoles in the first place

Which makes me wonder how simplified stalker 2 will be

[sand gorge]

The controls feel fine

[tawny salmon]

Controllers on fps games are neva fine...

[sand gorge]

Cope

[tawny salmon]

No!

[sand gorge]

Try to play Clear Sky

[sand gorge]

It's very simple what are you on about

I am playing CS now, having fun with it. I've beaten all of these games back in the early 2010's so it's a treat to replay them vanilla.

[sand gorge]

I'm in Agroprom right now and I got my money taken and I had 57838

I have zero clue what I want to do

[solid cosmos]

The key is to never have any money ever. They can't take your money if you're broke

[sand gorge]

I can't repair my Seva suit if I don't have money

[solid cosmos]

I wonder if the battery thing still works

[sand gorge]

Probably it's the PC version just a port

[solid cosmos]

In shadow of chernobyl having 4 batteries, springs shells or pellicle's would let you heal and repair your armor in the anomalies that they come from, being electro, burner, whirligig and whatever the green acid shit is called, I can't remember.

I wonder if that works on CS

[sand gorge]

Acid Anomaly

I have a confession

I think I'm a freedom fan girl

[sand fiber]

Is there are reasion as to why most quests only have a 1 day time limit? I rember getting 7 days on pc

[sand gorge]

They've always been 1 day

[patent rapids]

Is there a scheduled date for console version’s update?
bug fix update or next gen update

[sand fiber]

radiant quests are usually 1 day long

[solid cosmos]

No

[sand fiber]

what next gen update lmfao

the port just got released

for the next gen, too

[solid dome]

Like?

This year is only worth it for Dogma 2 and Stalker 2, rest is shit

[sand gorge]

Wtf you mean

Helldivers 2 Dead Space Remake Stalker 2 Boulder's Gate 3 Tekken 8

[sand fiber]

dead space remake is a remake after all

[sand gorge]

A remake not remaster

And you can't even talk shit about Helldivers 2 or Boulder's Gate 3

[sand fiber]

doesn't make it better

remakes are unnecessary and always worse

It was as good as the og wtf you mean

That is why I specified for me. These are things I am interested in.

[loud gate]

Dude, BG3 released last year in 1.0 lol

[hidden stratus]

I still dont understand the hype behind BG. its a dnd game. Didnt even knew the category had that big of a playerbase, Thought it was only old men that played dnd

Tried it but I guess it just didnt hit me like it did for the rest

[sand gorge]

You just have zero imagination

Also everyone is forgetting about Helldivers 2 and it's stupid

[sand gorge]

🤓👆

[hidden stratus]

Of course everyone is going to forget about it. That's just how non mainstream games are.

[sand gorge]

Helldivers 2 is the most popular game of 2024

I don't think it's non mainstream

If Moist Critical plays it then it's mainstream

The discord has 13 thousand more members than this server

[hidden stratus]

Eh technically it is but nowadays if its not something mainstream like cod then it will die out. BG was big last year even if it wasnt a mainstream game, havent heard anyone talk about it since.

[hidden stratus]

Oh, you are one of those..

[sand gorge]

I was joking

But yes I like Charles White

[sand gorge]

Oh you're one of those...

[hidden stratus]

Yep, sorry bud. I tried a game out and didnt find it interesting.

[sand gorge]

Neverwinter Nights

Dark Alliance 2
Boulder's Gate 1
Boulder's Gate 2
Boulder's Gate 3
Yes d&d has a massive fan base
Why do you think they made a movie too?

[sand fiber]

1. dnd and tabletop target audience are autistic trans girls
2. BG3's genre isn't a "dnd game", it's a larian crpg still

[hidden stratus]

Im guessing you are a dnd fan

[sand gorge]

I'm a human being and the first one is a load of shit

People use d&d for like Halo, Fallout and Stalker shit too

[hidden stratus]

If it makes you feel any better I will try those dnd games out, eventually

Because ive never heard of them

[sand gorge]

I'd feel better if a game didn't have a general stereotype that insults a minority or group of people

[sand fiber]

anyway play divinity original sin 2, you might like it better

[sand gorge]

Play Russian Roulette

[hidden stratus]

Also added to the list. These games remind me alot of diablo which ive played so i figure the controls and atmosphere shouldnt be too different.

[sand gorge]

Cod is dying lmao

[sand gorge]

Devil May Cry 3

[sand fiber]

isn't diablo a mindless clicker? don't expect that from actual rpgs

[hidden stratus]

Dumb people will always buy them

[hidden stratus]

I play them for the story, dont really play them unless im bored

but yeah the new one for sure is

[sand gorge]

Morrowind is a real rpg

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[nimble cipher]

scottlenartemis has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sand gorge]

You too

[solid cosmos]

Ranjid we refuse to have a good day or be well. We are arguing right now. Good night

[sand gorge]

Rank the Stalker Trilogy worst to best

[celest sierra]

Best shadow drop console ever got

[sand gorge]

@solid cosmos

[solid cosmos]

that's really hard for me. Shadow of chernobyl is probably my favorite, but there are things about clearsky I like a lot more that were improved upon for call of pripyat. It's so hard for me to rank them. Gun to my head if I had to? CS, Cop, ShoC

[sand gorge]

I've had yet to play CoP

[celest sierra]

CoP and SoC for me

[solid cosmos]

The start of CS is really rough, always getting irradiated and screwed, but once you start getting going it gets okay.

Shadow of chernobyl gripped me when I was younger, had me hooked and that's such a strong thing for me.

Call of Pripyat dumbed some things down I guess, but it also had advancements on what Clear Sky brought, improved upon them. It's hard to play CS and CoP then go back to Shadow of chernobyl where you don't have certain things.

[celest sierra]

Played both for many years

[loud gate]

[solid cosmos]

Not being able to repair armor or weapons from a technician or whatever is so rough. It forces you to throw away weapons you could use or hoard certain things, but it is what it is.

[sand fiber]

SoC > CoP > CS

[solid cosmos]

Based

[sand fiber]

easy

[loud gate]

SoC>CoP?

[celest sierra]

CoP > SoC > CS

[loud gate]

Holy based

[sand fiber]

yes
even though CoP had me crying by the end credits SoC has more going for it

[solid cosmos]

Worst to best? SoC is worst for you?

[sand fiber]

no, best to worst

unlimited genocide upon CS apologists

[lethal orchid]

I really should replay CoP

[loud gate]

I disagree, ShoC does certain aspects better CoP, like the map for example, but Call of Prypiat is more refined, and it has a LOT of memorable moments.

[loud gate]

Don't treat middle children like that.

[lethal orchid]

I'm certain I missed stuff that wouldve been a lot more impactful had I played the previous two

[sand fiber]

CoP still has that addon feel to it, and i generally prefer what SoC was aiming for in terms of atmosphere

and, unlike SoC, CoP doesn't have the 5 year long development hell baggage

[lethal orchid]

CS should have gone through 5 years of development hell

A full length, even just slightly more polished CS would go crazy

[sand fiber]

TRUE

or they should've just gone with the supermutants i guess

would've been better

[lethal orchid]

I'm not familiar, what are they?

Dumb bossfights or something?

[sand fiber]

anarchy cell (pre-cs cs) had literally fallout supermutants in its concepts

[lethal orchid]

It would have been so joever for GSC

Fallout is weak Stalker

They were scared to make the game hard

Scared to produce an atmosphere

[sand fiber]

wdym

fallout 1-2, nv had great atmosphere

[lethal orchid]

I only played a little bit of 3 and didn't like it, to be honest

[autumn fossil]

Hey do you guys know how to fix the bug where you leave the underground in clear sky and the task doesnt complete?

[sand fiber]

of course, 3 is bethesda-made

try nv, should go better

[sand fiber]

reload the save

[lethal orchid]

Oh I thought they were all Bethesda

Ok I'll try NV

[autumn fossil]

the only quicksave i have is after leaving the hole

[lethal orchid]

I think I had that bug too and I just ignored it

Forgot how exactly it resolved lol

Maybe I died and had to reload

[lethal orchid]

How far back is the previous hard save?

[autumn fossil]

start of the game

[lethal orchid]

It's over

[sand fiber]

bethesda bought the ip after interplay closed, 1-2 were developed by Black Isle, people from Black Isle then moved to Obsidian and made NV with their Fallout 3 concepts

And then Bethesda never allowed for a third-party game of their IP ever again

[autumn fossil]

LMAO. thx anyways

[lethal orchid]

There's gotta be a fix somewhere

Some way to edit the save file

[sand fiber]

do you not do hard saves?

in a game where there's only one quicksave slot?

terrific

[finite dragon]

Hello. How are you?

[autumn fossil]

tbh i havent run into anything like this before i didnt expect it lol

[sand fiber]

rookie mistake

[autumn fossil]

i have learned my lesson now tho 🫡

[wet lark]

Finally got the tunder 5.45 and rpg

[loud gate]

Sure. Fun fact: Sergiy recently said that he canceled old S2 because he thought it would end up like CoP, another add-on.

[sand gorge]

Nato guns in clear sky suck btw

[finite dragon]

Going to school now 😭

[wet lark]

Noted

Im about to move onto clear sky, I got the exoskeleton and I got the brain scorcher quest

[sand gorge]

Good luck

[worthy monolith]

Bro i swear every time i reach the bar, the duty guys kill the boars in 0.002 miliseconds, and then scolds me for being useless, I COULDNT EVEN SEE THE BOARS YET YOU SHAVINGCREAM

[finite dragon]

hello and good morning

[wet lark]

Yup, monolith are already destroying me

I can tell this is gonna be fun, imma save it for tomorrow when Im not sleep deprived

[calm aurora]

So I just finished Stalker cop many times … ok and it’s an amazing game… clear sky I’m playing right now on pc….

[finite dragon]

agree

but my favorite game and my introduction to the series was clear sky

[serene urchin]

Sidorovich the chad

[calm aurora]

But what about Stalker Shadow? Because I think there are two ending game? Sterlok

[finite dragon]

i like it too

[calm aurora]

What the meaning of the Gif?

[finite dragon]

cheeki breeki

[serene urchin]

Cheeki Breeki

[finite dragon]

how do i get a rank tho i wanna be novice

[serene urchin]

He was a good stalker

[proven cargo]

once again gonna ask, does anyone know if S2 will use MSAA or TAA? IMO, TAA is a massive red flag, due to how bad it is compared to MSAA

[worthy monolith]

Getting myself scammed ingame to get a trophy sigh

[wet lark]

Ah yes, much gauss gun

[worthy monolith]

Im just patiently waiting for a trophy guide to drop, cuz i dont get all trophies, i can do most of them by myself i think, but not all

[sand gorge]

I have zero idea what either of those government agencies are

[proven cargo]

Multi Sampling Anti Aliasing
Temporal Anti Aliasing

[sand gorge]

[proven cargo]

MSAA is more computationally demanding, but is the most accurate. TAA is cheap, but also blurry af, has ghosting artifacts, and a bunch of other issues

[narrow meteor]

If the Cossacks don't come out by 2027, we must stage a riot!!!
Who agrees to tick the box.

[sand gorge]

Everyone is speaking nonsense

Coxsacks and MSAAAT

[wet lark]

Coxsacks🤨 (im sorry)

[broken latch]

9 endings

[low token]

9 ? I think there are 7 :

• wish to be rich
• wish to be immortal
• wish to lead the world
• wish the Zone to disappear
• wish humanity to disappear
• join the C-consciouness
• destroy the C-consciouness

[opaque parrot]

Destroying the C-Con is the best imo

[low token]

That's the cannon one

[opaque parrot]

I know

But I wonder what would happen in the Zone after joining them as their former agent

And I wonder what's gonna happen now that Strelok left with the Military after CoP

[low token]

He join the SIRCAA as main consultant

Would be interesting to know what the SIRCAA will do

[sand gorge]

Destroy/control humanity

[low token]

Depend of the translation yes ^^
