[pearl olive]

i read this as 'extra silly' and agreed

[exotic mural]

HK objectively a better gun but mosin my goat

[naive fog]

[exotic mural]

Whats up with the HK hate here? They're awesome

[gaunt burrow]

To be fair it was Killer Bean we're talking about

and Killer Bean goes hard as hell fr

[granite mortar]

HK is objectively western 🤮

[exotic mural]

YAYYYYY!!! I LOVE GERMANY!!!

[naive fog]

[pseudo rivet]

Next thing, we're going to have Chinese AK-platforms in the Zone

[pseudo rivet]

[normal bobcat]

You know what would be terrible? the F*nnish M78 🤢

[naive fog]

Czechoslovakia good guns

[pearl olive]

i need airburst grenades or bust

[naive fog]

Love the skorpion

[tender torrent]

as a Frenchman I am definitely disappointed that the famas was replaced by the HK416, it was also an excellent precision weapon

[exotic mural]

Any grenade can be airburst if you shoot it fast enough

[pseudo rivet]

OICW fr

...Except the grenades the OICW used had too much technical stuff happening and, thus, not enough room for the boom-boom powder

[exotic mural]

I like the famas but I prefer the hk

[granite mortar]

Erm I think you accidentally said "good" instead of "best"

[tender torrent]

will you be able to hold the grenade for 3 seconds?

[gaunt burrow]

@pseudo rivet some Rostok Dutyers in SoC mention Irokez: "Right now, stalker, this place is safe, and we're trying to keep it that way. There are many people here: some who've made it their home and don't go beyond the surrounding area, others who are preparing for yet another raid. Such a shame that Irokez didn't come back. He loved to set rookies like yourself on the way of the righteous." are Iroquois and Irokez same character or nah? Iroquois could join Duty after CS events

[pseudo rivet]

Yup

[naive fog]

Best go to the Soviet Union bro

[pseudo rivet]

At least, I assumed it was the same guy but spelled differently

[exotic mural]

Best guns start with U and end with nitedstatesofamerica

[naive fog]

AK for life

[granite mortar]

No.

[pseudo rivet]

BUT IT ALL MAKES SENSE ACCORDING TO MGS LORE

[granite mortar]

Best guns start with U and end with Stink

[gaunt burrow]

[normal bobcat]

Grenades don't explode upon being shot do they?

[naive fog]

There is a tier right under it where other countries go like Czechoslovakia and Poland and stuff

[exotic mural]

Never heard of this country, it must be european

[tender torrent]

we all stand for our weapons according to our respective countries it's normal

[granite mortar]

Depends on type of grenade ig

[pseudo rivet]

Mythbusters tested it, I believe they do

[normal bobcat]

huh

[pseudo rivet]

Not sure if it's the case with EVERY grenade, but it's possible

[exotic mural]

Polish weapon (piwo launcher)

[naive fog]

Hell ye

[normal bobcat]

impact grenade probably

[tender torrent]

Is HK416 better than M1?

[exotic mural]

RGNs would be so busted in s2

[naive fog]

I've shot a prototype of the Grot but I actually prefer the Beryl

[exotic mural]

Imagjne turning a corner and a monolith soldier teleports you to the respawn screen

[granite mortar]

No I dont think HK has better firepower than M1 Abrams

[ripe hinge]

@normal bobcat bubblegum pink?

[pseudo rivet]

I so hope the RPMmG-7u gets added to HoC

[normal bobcat]

what?

[naive fog]

Hate ar-15 style guns

[ripe hinge]

is it bubblegum pink

[pearl olive]

@granite mortar f16>m16???

[normal bobcat]

what are you referring to

[granite mortar]

Yes

[naive fog]

Well maybe not hate but I much prefer AKs

[gaunt burrow]

your pfp

[exotic mural]

Coming to terms with the fact that I will never get a fully upgraded seva suit because I blew the bandits heads off before they robbed me

[tender torrent]

M16

[normal bobcat]

Get your minds out of the gutter

[naive fog]

And other Slavic copies based on the platform

[pseudo rivet]

It's "pp", say it right

[gaunt burrow]

man I don't care about pfps. I was just clarifying something

[gaunt burrow]

[pseudo rivet]

Like, what does the F even stand for?

[naive fog]

[pseudo rivet]

That'd be #🔮┃fanart_and_cosplay

Freedomers on fanart and cosplay need medical attention

[exotic mural]

is it jellyfish green

[tender torrent]

best silent sniper stalkers?

[naive fog]

VSS Vintorez

[pseudo rivet]

SVUmk-2, no question about it

[exotic mural]

VSS

[gaunt burrow]

Vintar imo

[pseudo rivet]

"No question about it" mfw guess I'm wrong

[exotic mural]

VSS is great because in a real pinch you can full auto it

[granite mortar]

PB

[naive fog]

Based

[exotic mural]

PMm

[tender torrent]

Absolutety

[exotic mural]

The VSS is such a deadly weapon because of how quiet it is

[pseudo rivet]

At that point, just use a silenced AR which would perform better than a Vintar BC either way

[naive fog]

Only problem is ammo

[pearl olive]

that subsonic stuff is wildd

[pseudo rivet]

Maybe not as silent, but who cares about that?

[exotic mural]

Subsonic so no bullet cracks, you'll know when you're being shot at by the bullet impacts, and that's not likely because of how accurate it is. Lights out and you'll never know why

[naive fog]

9x39 subsonic gotta be expensive AF in the zone

[pseudo rivet]

It is

[exotic mural]

Unironically isn't for some reason

[naive fog]

Worth it tho

[pseudo rivet]

And it's heavy too

[granite mortar]

Its called game balancing

[normal bobcat]

its a decent round

[exotic mural]

Its completely free, it just costs 1 bullet and the time to find a duty member

[pseudo rivet]

I am a 9x39mm HATER. It's trash asf

[tender torrent]

VSS bullet speeds are much slower than normal I believe

[gaunt burrow]

[pearl olive]

i know forester he's got a few

[tender torrent]

in addition to the 9 mm

[exotic mural]

Its bc they're subsonic

[pseudo rivet]

Silenced SVUmk-2 GANG

[exotic mural]

Supersonic 9x39 exists iirc

[gaunt burrow]

9x39 slander won't be tolerated here. Even Freedomer Kostyan used Avalanche

[pearl olive]

subsonic rounds IRL sound crazy asf

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah and he's an idiot for using an SA Avalanche

[gaunt burrow]

I'm telling Kostyan

[pseudo rivet]

Tell him

[gaunt burrow]

Crimson is getting demoted in Freedom ranks boys

[granite mortar]

SA as in San Andreas or Spatial Anomaly?

[naive fog]

9x39 on top

[exotic mural]

Supersonic sounds like an airsoft gun

[pseudo rivet]

SA as in SA Avalanche because that's the name of the gun, silly

[naive fog]

I prefer 5.45x39 for the price and how common it is but still

[granite mortar]

Ur no fun

[tender torrent]

SVD

[pseudo rivet]

You should know that by now

[granite mortar]

Supersonic guns sound like
Well
Guns...

[normal bobcat]

just out of curiosity, between the VAL and VSS, is there any real difference or is it just the same gun with different furniture

[nimble cipher]

b18c5 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[gaunt burrow]

Me and @pseudo rivet hate fun

[exotic mural]

https://youtu.be/jn0GaifbrXM?si=RM4M_TIH5mB0m1nJ

The [wolf] mekanism is louder than the gun

[pseudo rivet]

Mag size and scope mostly, but the biggest difference is in the upgrades which differentiates both when it comes to Sniper Rifle and Assault Rifle

[normal bobcat]

ah okay

[pseudo rivet]

After all, the Vintar BC has an integrated scope which can be upgraded

[gaunt burrow]

VAL is just modified version of Vintar: "A modified version of the silent Vintar BC sniper rifle, the assault rifle was designed as a special forces weapon. The rifle's primary purpose is effective fire against enemies employing modern personal protection equipment without disclosing the shooter's location. Thanks to its integrated silencer and 9x39 caliber round with a heavy subsonic bullet, the weapon's noise and muzzle flash have been reduced to a minimum."

[pseudo rivet]

And the other upgrade paths just sets them apart

[exotic mural]

The VAL is so crazy because you can't hear it at all and has great armor piercing capability

[naive fog]

Also the folding stock is just nice

[gaunt burrow]

Crimson I told Kostyan everything. expect demotion soon

[tender torrent]

WA 2000

sniper 1985 german I think

[normal bobcat]

Those are rare, iirc not a lot of them were made

[gaunt burrow]

My face when I tried to continue reading dialogues of CoP NPCs but got caught in a Discord convo that lasted more than an hour:

[pseudo rivet]

I'll reach Level 100 before that ever happens. Because it won't happen. Yeah.

[normal bobcat]

what did you even do Crimson

[gaunt burrow]

He called Kostyan an idiot

[pseudo rivet]

Say that 9x39mm is trash

[gaunt burrow]

and that too yeah

[pseudo rivet]

For using the SA Avalanche

[tender torrent]

That 175 approximately yes

[pseudo rivet]

Like, realistically, when has a(n integrated) silencer actually helped you in-game when a regular gun can perform just as well, if not better

[gaunt burrow]

I like attaching silencer to guns nonetheless tbh

[pseudo rivet]

Same, but I also remove them when I don't need them

It's removeable and not a permanent attachment

[normal bobcat]

shame they didn't build many of them, it'd be a cool gun to own

[pseudo rivet]

Situational useful and luckily removeable, so it's pretty good

[exotic mural]

Genuinely when would you want to remove a supressor

[naive fog]

Building

Shorten your gun

[exotic mural]

If you're bringing a long rifle into cqc you're retarded, suppressor or not

[pseudo rivet]

All the time because it reduces your damage, accuracy, rate of fire and increases recoil

[exotic mural]

Irl it does the opposite of all of these

[naive fog]

Still tho it doesn't only apply to long guns

[pseudo rivet]

Welcome to STALKER

[exotic mural]

Suppressed double barrel would have 2 small suppressors or one giant one

[naive fog]

The shorter the gun the better in CQB

[naive fog]

One giant made of 2 sections combined

[gaunt burrow]

asking real questions here

[pseudo rivet]

Disagreed, RPG-7u is an excellent pick for close-quarters

[gaunt burrow]

[naive fog]

Actually nvm

PKM ap ammo is best for CQB

Just wallbang everything

[normal bobcat]

Bulldog-6 too

actually maybe not

[pseudo rivet]

Bulldog-6 is legit dogshizzle, just like the name implies

It does less damage than a PB-1s

[naive fog]

The PBs a good gun tho

[gaunt burrow]

Bulldog-6 is for dawgs

[naive fog]

Everyone knows the CS tank machinegun is the best weapon anyways

[gaunt burrow]

I prefer Trophy AK 74/2 tbh

[naive fog]

I just like PKMs

And having 2000 rounds is like a dream come true

[nimble cipher]

captain_duck. has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[naive fog]

And being able to have AP ammo in it

[gaunt burrow]

speaking of tank machinegun, I found out that you can actually sell it only during my last playthrough lol

[naive fog]

Peak gun

[gaunt burrow]

yeah its pretty peak gotta admit

[naive fog]

Lol

Only problem is weight

You need an exo and artefacts to run it reliably

[thin marten]

i have figured out why my stalker has not been working. my cpu is 13 gen but the beta selectors just for 12 gen my pc is just too bad word good

[naive fog]

To have other guns as well

[pearl olive]

pfffttttt tell it to my ultra-chad AR-15 with double-triple, extended suppressed ported reverse-rifled barrels

[naive fog]

Nuh uh

Dont like ar-15s too much honestly

[pearl olive]

nah they're so corny

[naive fog]

I like the ADAR tho

Looks wise anyways

Americans just can't make iron sights

[normal bobcat]

I like the M231 just because of its silly cyclic rate

[naive fog]

Except pistol sights

[pearl olive]

yea idk aesthetic wise 556 ARs these days are like wearing crocs

even the kids have fancy ones lol

[naive fog]

Ye

Just give me an AK

Don't care which one it doesn't matter too much

I'd take an AK over any American gun

[pearl olive]

same.. open sight nothing special

[normal bobcat]

I'd like an AK tbh

[naive fog]

Have you seen the newest Polish gun

The Grot

I've shot a prototype and it makes me sad

[normal bobcat]

Reminds me of the SCAR a little bit

[pearl olive]

yea iw as gonna say the same

[naive fog]

Don't like it

The slide release or whatever it's called on a rifle is on the trigger guard

And it's all plastic

I much prefer the Beryl

The beryl was nice

[pearl olive]

i wanna get my hands on an MK47

[normal bobcat]

if theres a gun I'd love to have its the SAR-21

[naive fog]

I actually really like the TT-33

[high spruce]

Hello @glossy blade , sorry for bothering with that again, but maybe, just maybe any info about mouse and keyboard support on Xbox?

[naive fog]

Last time I was at the range they were warning me about it but it ain't that bad

[glossy blade]

No, sorry, no updates

[naive fog]

They were warning me about the recoil and stuff but I like it a lot

[high spruce]

Cheers, and sorry again

[naive fog]

Only problem is getting a holster

[normal bobcat]

can't imagine the TT-33 is too bad recoil wise. Isn't 7.62x25mm smaller than .45

[naive fog]

The big thing is that it's a small pistol

Concealed carry glocks can have a ton of recoil just because the barrel is small

[normal bobcat]

A gun like that would fit my hands perfectly then.

[naive fog]

And cause sometimes your fingers dont even fit on it 💀

[pearl olive]

yea in my experience the XDs and shorter 45 variants are way bouncier

but im a sucker for old, heavy classics

[naive fog]

Ye

In my opinion 1911>Glock all day

[normal bobcat]

I'd need to get my hands on a TT tbh, see how it fits.

[naive fog]

It's nice

Prolly my favourite pistol

[pearl olive]

yea a standard 1911 colt style frame is my favorite gun of all time tbh

[naive fog]

But then again the Makarov is a classic

[exotic mural]

New melee weapons would be cool

[naive fog]

Based

I'm a sucker for old, heavy Slavic gear

[exotic mural]

AK of pistols

[normal bobcat]

Only pistols I have experience with are a Raven Arms MP-25 and a Canik TP9FS, the latter being quite large

[naive fog]

Just look at my pfp

My Airsoft kit

[pearl olive]

something to be said about the quality, old school stuff that can't be said of the newer versions

[exotic mural]

Shoot an American arm and suddenly you'll see why everyone immigrates here

[naive fog]

Ye

[gaunt burrow]

cars and weapons had class back then

[naive fog]

Last good American gun was the 1911 imo

[pearl olive]

absolutely. and solid craftmanship

[naive fog]

Actually just the American ww2 kit

[pearl olive]

im partial to some of my classic remington rifles, but can't really disagree

[exotic mural]

Bro has never heard of the railgun

[naive fog]

I'd take an AK over it anyways

[exotic mural]

Why

[pearl olive]

there were a few american companies that made quality stuff but most aren't around anymore

[naive fog]

Just not a fan of American gear

Hate the irons

[exotic mural]

Why

[exotic mural]

What gun

[naive fog]

Worst on the planet

[pearl olive]

Ithica used to make real nice stuff.. i have a 12g slug gun that has glo-optics by default

[exotic mural]

The zip 22?

[naive fog]

Basically everything except pistols

[exotic mural]

No no name a gun.

I bet Owl scavenged that poor slug, Scar is probably gonna be blind or mentally insane if he survived the 3 emmisions

[pearl olive]

was a stalker once til he took an emission to the knee

[exotic mural]

what if instead of stalker it was stroker

Why tf is it called clear skies because I swear its always raining in that game

[keen rune]

Because it looks the best out of the 3 (until S2 comes out)

Probably because Scar is in the illusion of being happy but inside his mind he's a depressed loner

[exotic mural]

Stalker 2 just won't feel like a stalker game without a horrible UI and abysmal sprinting mechanics.....

you can call SoC unfinished even. Most of the PDA entries feel like they are from an earlier time in development

"Where did you naive boys come from? There's a war going on, right? We’re fighting Freedom bandits! We have regular skirmishes with their fighters in the Wild Territory."

S2 is so hard that I can't even get past the first area

Matter of fact I can't even get to the main menu

[deft stirrup]

u cant even download the damn thing

[keen rune]

That's why it's impossible, I can't even buy it (my wallet is on it's last legs)

[gaunt burrow]

ironically easiest stalker game (CoP) gave me most trouble

Jupiter Underground is save scumming paradise

same goes to unidentified weapon sidequest. Valentyr and Podorozhny were killing themselves with grenades a LOT

[keen rune]

Surprisingly, Jupiter underground was the easiest, sure lot of save scumming, and at times Strider would get accidentally domed by me because I thought he was one of the enemy Mono's. Full immersion was then amplified because I was playing it with the lights off, bravo GSC for making me feel scared in a while

[exotic mural]

NEW STALKER 2 LEAK

The story will revolve centrally around a city named New Vegas, with two major factions warring for control over it, the NCR to the west and Caesar's Legion to the East.

[exotic mural]

Save scumming? In stalker? No...

[keen rune]

Caesar's legion is gonna be Freedumb, NCR is gonna be Dooty, Yes Man will be the Free Stalkers, and Mr.House is gonna be Clear Skies

[gaunt burrow]

good luck keeping all your teammates alive at Jupiter Underground without savescumming

Scar finds his own way and doesn't follow anyone's rules

There is no longer any absolutely total distribution of the ultimate physical editions throughout Europe, this is clearly visible on the sites, the collector's edition a victim of its success.

Not really

Very different
Metro is very linear with simpler systems and more focus on story

[exotic mural]

I saw online that Redux and 2033 are the same game, which should I choose?

[hidden stratus]

I you are going to play one you should just play all. They are all part of one story. But as per the similarities between the series you should be the judge of that.

Where are you from?

Scouser would be the most unique british accent though by far

Once in england an irish fisherman talked to me on the bus, it took me 5 minutes to realize he is speaking english to me

here's what you should do. dress in an ill-fitting suit. print out your resume and go to the nearest mcdonalds. preferably with your relatives. LOCATE the MANAGER and approach him with CONFIDENCE. hand him the resume and shake his hand. the HARDER you shake the HIGHER your chances of getting a job.

[granite mortar]

Okay
In that case
I wont say it because it wouldnt be funny

[hidden stratus]

I wonder what Mol1t is thinking seeing us talk about finance

[nova wedge]

The best job I ever had was a a crappy food service job that was made much less crappy by being unionized

I got paid good

[granite mortar]

Thats what it looks like in Mol1ts brain

[granite mortar]

Omg cat

[sand fiber]

the slavery rates are pretty high in ukraine... do you think mol1t's one of the slaves?

[broken latch]

@finite dragon

[hidden stratus]

wha.. what?

[sand fiber]

they don't want you to know

[granite mortar]

Nah Mol1t is one of the guards who tells them how to escape

[finite dragon]

How much will the physical preorders cost?

[granite mortar]

Same as digital

[finite dragon]

👍

[hidden stratus]

havent seen anything like that in media. And my American ape mind can't comprehend the idea of research

[earnest bear]

Tell me a place we're it isn't
Including lowpayd workers

[sand fiber]

lemme google

[sand fiber]

lmfao it's everywhere that isn't the west

africa&middle east&some parts of asia seem to be the worst

russia is pretty bad, ukraine's a bit worse and belarus is basically africa

surprisingly no slaves in czechia!!! except for @granite mortar of course

[nova wedge]

We MUST get these numbers up.

[sand fiber]

though in russia they must be up due to shenanigans in """universities""" like alabuga

[earnest bear]

I wonder if the Czech have stopped celebrating the
Icehockey championship or if they are still celebrating

[granite mortar]

Im no slave
I do this completely on my own (please save me, Jekan didnt give me any food in last 3 days)

[granite mortar]

We still celebrating because we beat everyones ass and it was at home grounds too

[earnest bear]

Yea

[sand fiber]

did you know russia has partially-legal slavery in alabuga university? they also lure african students to make military drones for russian army!

[granite mortar]

🏅

[sand fiber]

i love post-soviet countries!!!!!

[earnest bear]

The match against Sweden was nice

Some Swedish Player still tried to say they are the better team
But they couldn't do anything anymore after they received 3 goals after another

[granite mortar]

Was that the match where they cracked the glass?
And where one of tbe Czech players flew over the barrier?

[earnest bear]

No that was the Finale against Switzerland Pretty sure

That match looked really disorganized compared to the usual games

[granite mortar]

Damn

Well
It was cool either way

Im also surprised Canada didnt make it to finale

[earnest bear]

Yea it was amazing just different

[finite dragon]

Is stalker 2 just never going to be available in russia?

[sand fiber]

nope

[granite mortar]

I talked a bit with people who watch hockey a lot more than I do and they pretty much all said if we get to finale Canada will beat our ass

[sand fiber]

i mean like, in ten to fifteen years maybe

[finite dragon]

But would you just not be able to use a VPN or smth

[sand fiber]

steam doesn't work like that

[earnest bear]

Yea but they lost against Switzerland in the semi Finals
So Sweden had to deal with Canada in the match about 3 place

[granite mortar]

Damn
I get Russia is doing unacceptable things but its a bit petty considering Russians were the main demographics of the trilogy

[finite dragon]

Kinda annoying, I have russian and Italian friend and we were gonna play it together

[finite dragon]

And it would be a fairly large source of revenue

[sand fiber]

oh i mean, S2 will be DRM-free, and if you want to buy it it'll be on the Gamepass, you can also register a different region steam account

[granite mortar]

That too, but GSC doesnt really need it that much
Stalker as brand grew lot in the west lately

[finite dragon]

👍

When we getting stalker jars tho

Asking for a friend

[earnest bear]

Well not really the military faction is ukraine

And the rest are more fanboy factions freedom and duty

[sand fiber]

if i'm being honest i don't get why you wouldn't sell the games to russians and then idk redirect the funds to ZSU

[granite mortar]

Wat

[granite mortar]

Redirect the funds to "Gift for Putin" campaign so it buys some nice military tech for Ukrainians

[nova wedge]

*femboy factions

[sand fiber]

i'm very glad they're making the game DRM-free though

[sand fiber]

was this made by mez

[granite mortar]

No idea
But it likely was

[finite dragon]

[earnest bear]

Freedom is very US Nato ish but there doesn't seem to be anything that directly links them to being sent or controlled by a Nato country

[hazy helm]

Freedom has no relation whatsoever with UN or NATO or the US

why would you think this?

[sand fiber]

freedom was marx's project btw

[granite mortar]

Wat

[nova wedge]

Obviously the west meddles in everything, including some random slavs running around in Chernobyl smoking weed

[earnest bear]

They use Nato Weapons and freedom has a name is generally something linked to the us

[finite dragon]

Is that because they use NATO cartridges?

[granite mortar]

Wat

[covert slate]

oh i'm in here during THIS time of the day huh

[sand fiber]

czechov was planted in the zone by frankfurt school thinkers

[hazy helm]

why does it matter waht guns they use?this proves absolutely nothing
and wdym the name?I fail to see why "Freedom" is tied to america

[sand fiber]

real and true!

[hazy helm]

but thats a nwe one

[sand fiber]

They're literally anarchists

[hazy helm]

Freedom may be connected to america bc of its name

[nova wedge]

Gsc gave me exclusive news and said there's gonna be a new freedomer named Glowie

[azure dock]

Do you think there'll be a deep dive of Stalker 2?

[sand fiber]

wdym?

[finite dragon]

What instead of freedom is was called freakom and instead of making the zone available to everyone they made their zones available to everyone

[granite mortar]

Bro saw some real shit and had to react

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/lil-bro-raccoon-evil-plan-plotting-something-mischievous-gif-13052280088097666134

[sand fiber]

freakom vs booty

[granite mortar]

Omg look at this cat

[hazy helm]

what if instead of a deep void of darkness, there was a brain, in the cavity that is inside your head

[nova wedge]

Raccoons is cute too bad rabies

[finite dragon]

Cream sky vs Gooners

[sand fiber]

VOID??? TURGOR MENTIONED??? ICE PICK LODGE SECRET HIDDEN INDIE GEM???

[finite dragon]

Is that a control humanity ending reference?

[granite mortar]

Theres only one faction with booty
And its clear sky

[earnest bear]

Exactly
But I find the Nato Weapons and cartridges the Biggest giveaway that they are connected with Nato everyone else uses Russian weapons

Most likely not Directly but indirectly like the foreign legion in Ukraine currently

[finite dragon]

Miau

[finite dragon]

Could make sense

[azure dock]

An in-depth look at the game, not just a short trailer?

[sand fiber]

not before release no, why?

[hazy helm]

I guess that means anyone that uses a TR301 is an american and anyone that uses a GP37 is german
That does mean that Monolith are German Backed huh
this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

its contrived idiocy

[finite dragon]

You would think since CNPP is in heart of eastern europe and isolated, they would use reliable soviet stuff, rather than complexer western stuff

[hazy helm]

Freedom use Nato weapons bc they are situated at the Mid-High end of the game progression

after the turning point where Nato weapons are common

that is all there is to it

[granite mortar]

Typical germans creating fanatical cults to clense land of heretics
Just normal monday in German

[sand fiber]

what if the developers thought that by 2012 ukraine will be a part of nato? who knows

[hazy helm]

a million other stalkers use Nato weapons and they have no affiliation to any power outside of the zone

[nova wedge]

In 2012 Ukraine will be tin can 💔

[finite dragon]

WHERE IS THE IMAGINATION
THE PASSION
THE SOUL?
