alright what are the best mods to play with vanilla shoc
flint notch
....
barren smelt
vanilla = no mods
flint notch
vanilla storyline
flint notch
ok thanks man
late bramble
OLR 7
did you get OLR confused with NLC 7
neither of those are vanilla storyline either
best vanilla+ mod is probably OGSE or AMK 1.4.1
flint notch
ok cool masine i will follow your insights
late bramble
It adds a lot of quests but it keeps the vanilla storyline intact as well, really good mod for a 2nd or 3rd play through
late bramble
GSC also likes NS and Goldsphere
robust forge
They like the community

Guys, anyone know of any mod that changes the effects/particles like this? Or is it just this mod?
shrewd dagger
no other mod is on that level
simple tusk
ah damn
the guy should release it at least for testing
i downloaded his mod (AREA) and the effects aren't there yet
it looks so damn good

check out the bullet hit effects on the road, absolutely amazing
reminds me of what Anders did with effects in Project Reality battlefield 2 mod

thx
shrewd dagger
man there are some obscure mods out there

I believe E.L.C.I.N. was based on Tenj Vonyuchki (Smelly's Shadow, lit. Shadow of Smelly)
someone can correct me if I'm wrong

Sky Reclamation Proyect

It's integrated in complete
timber zodiac
And faction wars Mod
late bramble
dont play complete
timber zodiac
Or Sky reclamation proyect
shrewd dagger
Complete will have save game corruption
wait for Clear Sky Mod Pack 2019 to be verified stable
it is SRP 1.1.2 + some Mystery stuff + Complete + extra guns
totally not shilling
lunar surge
Why are so many people hating on Clear Sky? Yeah, when it released it was a buggy mess, but it has been significantly patched, I liked it and run into almost no bugs in 3 playthroughs.
shrewd dagger
I don't see anyone hear hating on Clear Sky
shrewd dagger
But it's a mix of bandwagon hate + not liking Clear Sky's more linear design and quests
pseudo rivet
Personally, I like Clear Sky better than Call of Pripyat
Call of Pripyat felt rushed, as can be seen in the animations
Map size was lackluster
Other than that, it's pretty alright
I like the new Inventory System
Plenty of quests
nova sluice
Maybe it's just 3 location, cuz of main mission
pseudo rivet
And albeit it's flaws, I actually liked the Faction Wars system
Atmosphere was great, too
Gave plenty of lore
shrewd dagger
Its lore and world building and dialogue are underappreciated
pseudo rivet
It even tells us about the Pre Brainscorcher Monolith
Which sounds really intriguing
rose nimbus
I always joked that i would get lynched by the STALKER community when i said Clear Sky is my Fav
rose nimbus
Always have SRP installed if im doing a vanilla playthrough
finite dragon
I install SRP before other mods
Somehow, idk how, but it makes the whole engine more stable
late bramble
I play vanilla since SRP has that crash at the flea market
Not sure what causes that, I always get a completely blank log
rose nimbus
Xray is a weird, but super advanced engine for its time, but age has not treated it well xd
Still love it tho
late bramble
Going to be said to see S2 use something else entirely but it's for the best I suppose
Well, most likely it will use something else at least
rose nimbus
I think so, maybe a new engine from the ground up (thats also why there has been little news maybe) if thats the case, then that means something different from a 500th unreal game or something like that ive played
I was worried for the longest time STALKER 2 would move to a more common engine for various reasons, but ehh im tired and just got up so my thoughts are fumbled
robust forge
Let's hope that if GSC use UE4 they won't do that
finite dragon
Let's hope that they don't use UE
robust forge
Let's hope that whatever they use, it will be good
That's the thing. S2 can be on idk... java or something. But if it will be good I'll take it and be happy
finite dragon
but only not UE
robust forge
Eh, I've seen some stuff made well in UE
same goes for Source
like Titanfall
you can't say that Titanfall looks bad
or something
barren smelt
Titanfall and Apex indeed use Source engine, albeit a modified version
I believe the large amount of mountains serves not only an artistic purpose but also a utilitatian one
Utilitarian*
And STALKER could just as easily be made in Unity if the devs put love in it
lime field
If vodka was a soft drink, would it be called stalinade?
shrewd dagger
UE4 is ultimately better than anything GSC can cook up, so I wouldn't complain

As long as we are confirmed to be getting STALKER 2 and isn't rushed I wouldn't complain
finite dragon

Like Shell, Battery, Pellicle and Spring, is there an ultra rare artifact that gives you health with no debuffs?
finite dragon
CoP you can probably go for compass and heart of the oasis but it’s been a while so Idr what potential debuffs they come with
proud herald
I really enjoy the 600% health increase but the bullet resistance is quite an annoyance when I have to get Goldfish and Mama's Beads to take up slots for something better like Spring.
shrewd dagger
There isn't one in the unmodded games, and the Heart of the Oasis and Compass in CoP are trash
Supposed to be ultra rare rewards, but they're useless garbage
I never recommend playing with vanilla balance in any of the games
timber zodiac
Is that or you dont know how to use it
shrewd dagger
There is no knowledge involved with using artifacts in the vanilla games, what are you talking about?
timber zodiac
No i mean, in the lore involving the compass tells that is a very usefull artefactos but no one knows how to use it properlly, i just referencing that
shrewd dagger
Nobody except Forester at least
timber zodiac
Yeah, i just use it only to delivery it to beard in CoP

proud herald
"There isn't one in the unmodded games (...)"
So you're telling me there's a chance? 
proud herald
Just completed ShoC
Amazing game
I also took a look at how much I played it
54 hours
frigid wing
nice
shrewd dagger
everyone enjoyed the final levels
Now wait till you play OGSE 0693
the ultimate version of SoC
proud herald
What does it add?
shrewd dagger
Too much to list really
It does mostly keep the original story intact, but expands on it opposed to just changing it everywhere
It adds dozens of hours of new quests and includes some of the best quest design in the series
It's on a more advanced 64-bit engine with thoroughly improved and reworked gameplay mechanics, and some new mechanics as well
Tons of new equipment (I'm adding even more, around 80 guns and lots of new ammo types)
It does it all
But does it well unlike most
finite dragon
Guess imma try it out
I havent played SoC in forever
the most memorable moment for me was entering the dark valley for the first time ever in SoC, having the complete version and it was the right time for the comet thing
Wonderful experience
simple tusk
anyone has ogse torrent?
i found one on reddit but it seems to be russian or something
late bramble
i got a drive link but no torrent
simple tusk
works for me 😄
simple tusk
ogsr is the 64bit update?
late bramble
yup
simple tusk
that's cool, its just a hundred megabytes
thanks a lot for this, you saved me from downloading all the parts
is this patched to 2.10R
late bramble
should be
all you gotta do is run the configurator and youre good to go
good to install OGSR too
simple tusk
will do
i played ogse a long time ago but my hdd died in the begining and never played it since
looking forward to it
late bramble
it has a few balancing issues but most are easily dismissed or fixed with some simple tweaks
simple tusk
its stalker after all, i'll find the way through the zone one way or another 😄
proud herald
Is there an OGSE-esque mod for Clear Sky?
late bramble
There's OGSM but the only translation I found for it is hot garbage
and it's honestly pretty meh
proud herald
In comparison to OGSE, is it exactly the same?
shrewd dagger
It's not nearly as big or polished or good
proud herald
Which mod tied to Clear Sky is similar or close to OGSE?
shrewd dagger
Like he said OGSM is the closest, since it's from the same creators (or some of the same creators at least)
Clear Sky just has no mods as good or as big as the best SoC or CoP mods because modding Clear Sky is an even bigger annoyance
the Anomaly team is working on a Clear Sky mod that'll probably end up being the best one
robust forge
Yeah
proud herald
Anomaly is already released, yeah?
late bramble
Yeah but its receiving a major update soon
proud herald
Should I wait for that one then?
shrewd dagger
It's playable now and one of the best mods now (1.5 Beta 2.4 that is)
more stable than other mods despite being a beta
late bramble
soon™
they have a discord you can keep up with
fairly active and the dev-blog has really cool stuff
lusty elm
Anomaly best openxray mod
shrewd dagger
Anomaly best freeplay mod
shrewd dagger
it is Open X-Ray, and has free play
proud herald
But it also follows the vanilla story, doesn't it?
late bramble
anomaly? no
late bramble
it has its own optional story but its cringy fanfic
proud herald
It does have quite the load of mods. Stability issues?
shrewd dagger
I wanted to delete CS Remix from ModDB but I can't delete anything
if you mean Mod Pack 2012, that's just phased out
if you mean Mod Pack 2019, that's a work in progress
not sure how stable it is or isn't
since the latest patch
late bramble
still waiting on that crash i told you about
dont know what you can even do about it tho
shrewd dagger
I believe I fixed that but it requires a new game 
pretty sure it's caused by SRP 1.1.2 ironically
late bramble
i wish i could just skip the swamps
proud herald
Why do you not recommend it in the first place? I'm curious.
On paper it looks fine.
shrewd dagger
I just don't recommend Mod Pack 2019 until it's verified stable
once it's verified stable, I'll shill it
late bramble
Get rid or change some of the mystery assets and I'll shill it too
proud herald
An admirable decision.
Still, it's my decision. I'll try it out and if it bricks, fair enough, complaining has never been my style so don't worry.
late bramble
my issues with it are mostly related to graphics and UI, like the mystery assets are really bad and your arm models are unusually gray
inconsistent inventory icons
an ugly menu screen
stuff like that
proud herald
We'll see.
shrewd dagger
I fixed the arm models nub
menu screen was surprisingly problematic, I tried to change it and uh
yeah
ended up saying screw it
same for the inventory icons, too lazy only OGSE and Anomaly get THAT level of detail from me
also mildlymenacing, feel free to send me any crash logs you get
proud herald
I would if I knew how to
Do the crash logs get stored in a folder automatically or do I have to copy paste to pastebin?
late bramble
they go to appdata
shrewd dagger
they should be in Documents\Stalker-STCS\logs
proud herald
Ah shit, that's a problem.
The stalker games doesn't make a documents folder for me for some obscure reason that I cannot fathom.
late bramble
are your games in program files or something?
shrewd dagger
they are usually in Public Documents and may not show in the Documents library
late bramble
i thought only SoC did that jester
shrewd dagger
I'm pretty sure my disc versions of CS and CoP do that, can't say waht the steam versions do though
my GOG versions are indeed in My Documents, not Public Documents (even SoC)
late bramble
i see
proud herald
I don't mind paying again, it's only a dollar.
But that does remind me
Is there any difference between getting the Stalker games on GoG vs Steam?
late bramble
Some say the GOG versions are easier to mod but honestly I see 0 difference aside from GOG being a heavier download
Since it has a fair amount of extras like the soundtrack
shrewd dagger
I wonder if Steam version CD keys still work in GOG
late bramble
They should
shrewd dagger
I always buy from GOG to support them because they deserve and need the support
late bramble
It's how I own SoC and CoP on GOG
I used my CD key
and yeah I buy from GOG when I can too
proud herald
Well too late to test the CD keys now.
But again, I don't mind.
GOG is great
Is byootiful
late bramble
Indeed
shrewd dagger
the least anti-consumer platform
proud herald
More money to CD means more money to Cyberpunk
late bramble
most of my mod repacks use the steam version and theres 0 issues with them so far
proud herald
STONKS
shrewd dagger
more money to them means GOG stays around for longer
I actually don't care for any of their games
proud herald
k
Holy shit
GOG Version has so much more stuff
Question, does the GOG versions come with the vanilla patches?
late bramble
we're both in our own stalker discord if that makes reporting crashes and whatnot easier
plus you can say fr*ck
epic shilling hours
save the world and join c-con
shrewd dagger
yes join C-Consciousness, not U-Consciousness

Give it to me straight, what are Freedom and Duty's ideologies?
barren smelt
literally
Freedom is far left Hippie LARPers
Duty is far right Patriot LARPers
barren smelt
Freedom = zone is a civil right (like weed)
Duty = zone must be destroyed because it's wrong :( (like weed)
timber zodiac
Or... Join Clear Sky
We have good suits
Best leader
The (almost) perfect faction
(Because perfect does not exist)
pseudo rivet
Duty: The Zone is a sickness that should be destroyed at all cost. Protect the entire world from the great horrors of the Zone. Fight it, study it. Whatever it takes, we need to fight this disease called the Zone. We will bring order to the Zone and fight of any anarchists, bandits and mutants.
Freedom: The Zone is the world's greatest gift. There are things here that nobody could ever simulate in a lab. We should study the Zone for the betterment of mankind. People should know what happens here and what the State tries to hide, bringing the secrets to light.
@proud herald
Something like this
proud herald
Both wants to study the Zone. Looks like they do have something in common after all.
pseudo rivet
Yep
Only Duty wants to study it for a weakness
Freedom for the betterment of mankind
Of course, both see it for the betterment of mankind
After all, Duty is here to save the world
proud herald
Duty wants to purge the Zone while Freedom wants to integrate it.
pseudo rivet
Freedom, just like Clear Sky, wants to co-exist with the Zone
Even fighting off poachers in service of Mother Earth
After all, we see what happens when someone hunts mutants
It attracts even more mutants
pseudo rivet
The see it as a threat to not only the Stalkers of the Zone, but also the whole world
They wish to destroy everything that spawns in the Zone and study that what they can't destroy for a weakness
Other than that, they wish to bring order, somehow
I never really saw that, but that might just be lack of in-game visualization
proud herald
Well... taking a look at the Zone, it's far from paradise. I don't know how Freedom can make the Zone co-exist with humanity, all I ever see it do is kill.
But who knows, Freedom might find a way although I very much doubt that if they succeed, technology will skyrocket or something.
Artefacts would play the biggest role for the "betterment of mankind".
Which offer more of a superhuman fantasy rather than a technological one.
It's interesting.
late bramble
Clear Sky wants to get rid of the zone as well, just through research
pseudo rivet
Nope
They don't
They also want to co-exist with the Zone
So this sadly makes them almost the same as Freedom, for a few exceptions
@proud herald There are actually Stalkers that co-exist with the Zone
Hermit is one of those
Some of them learned to find a path through the most dangerous anomaly fields, through the thickest of forests or even to be peaceful with mutants
proud herald
I haven't heard of that
The only people that I'd say "co-exists" with the Zone is Monolith.
And they're batshit insane
proud herald
They make some nice hitscan weapons tho
late bramble
theyve been completely brainwashed
also not true
there are monolith who serve willingly, there was supposed to be a PDA entry that implied this really heavily but it got cut from SoC like a lot of other things
barren smelt
and to be fair
the Zone should be destroyed, realistically speaking
if it was a thing IRL I can assure you the gobernment would rather see it glassed by yet another nuke
finite dragon
"I can assure you"
The Zone is too powerful and rich of scientific data for that to happen.
They would rather sacrifice human lives than potential sources of income.
barren smelt
You sure they'd let valuable secret government projects and intel be publicly available by the local populace?
finite dragon
Just use proxies to protect these so called "secret government projects".
Plus, how would a common reporter survive controllers, Pseudogiants etc.=?
He doesn't control Duty, Freedom and vis-a-vi to guard govt. secrets
barren smelt
thanks Auttaja, as I was saying. call me a 🚬 but I think government wouldn't want people knowing that they attempted to mass brainwash the whole Earth
finite dragon
Not everything can be kept a secret, but you can also create an illusion of false evidence to be widespread information.
They could never know that.
How would they be able to know that exactly?
The C-Consciousness is at the epicenter of the Zone, guarded by the Monolith and the Scorcer.
Again, how the hell would this brainwash experiment slip out to the public?
Agroprom is guarded by the military and mutants, Deep Valley is the Deep Valley filled with bandits and goddam super mutants.

proud herald
I see
finite dragon
Does anyone here play the Anomaly mod?
robust forge
Kinda
I'll try to answer whatever question you have
Unless it's an existential one
finite dragon
Do you experience random crashes that completely freeze the game and your computer?
robust forge
Yeah
finite dragon
I have a high end PC that can easily run it at high settings with at least 60 FPS, but the game will just randomly crash at times without any sort of indicator.
robust forge
Most of any stalker crashes freeze my PC
finite dragon
A lot of other people have this issue and there is nothing on it in terms of fixes or mitigation techniques.
And yeah, STALKER mods are all bound to crash, but this is the only one that crashes my PC as well.
robust forge
Maybe because it's the only one on 64-bit engine
finite dragon
I unfortunately had to give up the mod and uninstall it out of worry that it would eventually just fry my computer.
robust forge
There should be some anomaly devs on this server IIRC
shrewd dagger
Do you play 1.5 beta 2.4?
That's the only one worth playing, but if any of them are crashing your computer then the issue is not the mod

Well i was thinking that OLR have that kind of AI, but it would make the mod buggy in some quest

It doesn't have that kind of unrestricted A-Life, so cease your fake news spreading

OGSE's gameplay enhancements are missed (its few really customizable guns, night vision/thermal vision slot, other nice equipment features) and its high quality models, but OLR makes up for it in atmosphere
both have the best quest design I've seen in the series
cloud plank
Good to hear that about the quest's
I like OGSE quest alot, heck i even paying more attention to Klondike quest line than the main one
shrewd dagger
OGSE has way more side quests than OLR too, it's a longer game
but the main quests of OLR are superb
finite dragon
so, whats the best gun mod for COC? i dont care about HD models or whatever, i just want more guns
ive been looking at a few but my connection is very bad
shrewd dagger
STCoP
CoC is a dead mod though, its development is continued in various forks which have more guns and other improvements
most notably Anomaly

im losing my mind over lost alpha
im now at the mission where you need to deliver supplies to duty
i need
10 x 5.45 AP ammo
10 x Tourists Delight
10 x Army medkit
10 x canned corn
I have them
yet my only dialog option is "NO I DIDNT GET THEM"
shrewd dagger
I should just go ahead and delete it from my computer
the only thing I'll keep is its icon for any other mods I install, so that they all have different icons (I have 12 installed right now)
and the deed is done

Wait, so is there like an actual developer team working on this? GSC?
open lintel
Yes. GSC is currently working on Stalker 2. Check #📰┃announcement for any new information they post. Anything in the announcements section and posted by GSC Admins (the green names titled GSC Game World) are official.
There are also some pinned msgs in #504592611328393216 , there was a interview of some kind and there are translations pinned in that channel. I urge you to check it out if your interested!

Where can I find a vendor in Clear Sky that will buy my artifacts for its full price?
late bramble
For it's full price? Probably won't. But you can sell it to the scientists at Yantar for maximum profit.
Don't bother hoarding money until you get through agroprom and the dark valley, though
pseudo rivet
Probably at Yantar from Sahkarov or at the Great Swamps from Docent Suslov
finite dragon
The answer is at Yantar.
proud herald
i sold some at Suslov and bought an RPK 74, very nice.
Got an upgrade for it that supposedly lets me mount a scope with 1.6 magnification, where can I find one like that? Suslov didn't have one.

Don't remember that in CS.
You can get a free PSO-1 at the swamps, at the top of the first watch tower right outside clear sky's base
proud herald
Ah, I forgot, I'm using Jester's 2019 Modpack
I'm sort of his little guinea pig for the mod, but I don't mind it.
Anyways, how do I tell the mechanic at the Flea Market in the Garbage to wake up? I need ma repairs, man.
late bramble
Oh, I'm using his modpack too but admittedly I haven't played much in a while
He wakes up at night iirc
Either that or day time
proud herald
Okay, so, if Sakharov is the guy that buys artefacts at full price, what guy in CS buys weapons at full price?
late bramble
Don't think you'll get one of those. Try selling NATO weapons to the Freedom trader and Warsaw Pact weapons to the Duty trader.
proud herald
Very nice.
shrewd dagger
I don't wake up at night, you're fake news
I am not a vampire like most gamers are since I work during the day
nobody buys weapons at full price I think
the renegade trader in Red forest has some good prices and good gear if you're not hostile to him though
timber zodiac
Wait, there are a renegade trader in red forest? Where?
shrewd dagger
in the tunnel near the compass
timber zodiac
Oh, i wonder why i didnt notice him
late bramble
How can you not be hostile to renegades
proud herald
You say "no" to Clear Sky
pseudo rivet
He'll get replaced with a Duty Trader if you kill the Renegades
shrewd dagger
you can be not hostile to them in vanilla CS (this is untouched in my mod packs)
once you leave the Clear Sky faction, as long as you didn't kill TOO MANY you'll be neutral
negative disposition but not quite hostile yet
never kill any more

People i have a question here
i played SoC in the past, i loved it and finished the game, no mods
i tried clear sky but i didn't like it enough for some reason
now im planning to play CoP
Should i install some mods or play it vanilla?
i've seen Call of chernobyl but that one seems like i should install it after finishing the game first
Misery? Saw people stating is hard for your first run
potent condor
play it vanilla or with a weapon mod at least (unless you dont mind the ugly vanilla models) for overhaul mods i would recommend you wait until Stalker Anomaly patch 1.5 is released, its a continued work of the CoC/misery mods, but with loads of options so you can tailor the experience to your liking

CREEPER
pseudo rivet
Oh boy
shrewd dagger
Just install Atmosfear, Absolute Nature 4, Absolute Structures, and STCoP weapon mod
that way you actually get the vanilla story experience
STCoP 3.2 just came out with 3D scopes, but it's untranslated (not a big deal for a weapon mod) and not sure if the Atmosfear compatibility patch for the old version works

Decided to give OGSE a spin
10/10 would play UPS driver in a warzone again
Also Wolf kept dying half the damn time so I have like 5 saves at different points in the scenario
shrewd dagger
FYI I'm in the process of adding over 100 guns to OGSE
it'll be save game compatible although it won't change what any spawned NPCs are carrying
I'm surprised Wolf was dying, they made him near invincible
but enough boars will kill anyone

Download it and scan it yourself
While you're at it go download Zoner: Revenge of the Mercs and Valley of Whispers + Shoker weapon mod on ModDB if you want to see viruses

how do i install the mod?

what do i start

Just extract the folder to anywhere but Program Files, preferably another drive but if you don't have one that's alright probably

so first configurator and then to play OLR_launcher?

that works yeah

I got a question related to OGSE folks
I noticed there some supressors in the mod that states in the descriptions that subsonic ammo needs to be used for the weapon to work with
yet i can use other ammo type with no problem
Is there any side effects actually or is just description stuff with no real effect?
(Also, cant find sub-sonic ammo anywhere, Still need to check dead city but as far no one sell any)
shrewd dagger
That's a lie by the description
It was written by wannabe gun nuts and doesn't refer to anything actually implemented, so you're right
My weapon expansion addon will fix that
cloud plank
Nice to to know, is that addon add more attachments or only guns?
shrewd dagger
Just guns and ammo and rebalancing
A few new attachments for some of the newer guns only
near star
trying to figure out what barkeep will and won't buy is a PITA
who thought the stretch between the garbage entrance and actual bar entrance needed to be even longer AND have a chimera in it
cloud plank
I was lucky in that one, i found a car just there in the side of the road where the garbage level changer is there is a blue jeep, is still a long trip and not really that interesting
near star
also in the agroprom undergound when you pick up strelok's flash drive ||and a bloodsucker literallly spawns right behind you and you have to be quickdraw mcgraw or have your gun out beforehand to not get killed||
cloud plank
Barkeep is worst trader overall, not even he doesnt sell anytihing new or usefull, but also sell price are scumy, your better of buying ammo to petrehenko and selling artifacts to Shakarov
Also visiting the cordon the mechanic of rookie village is a must visit best ammo prices so far
near star
time to make the long walk I suppose
where's the best gun buyer anyways, or is that just a matter of who's available with no big difference
cloud plank
I dont really know, mostly I only bother with artifacts to Petrhenko or shakarov or the guy at agroprom
Jester may know thought
near star
think I read about the agroprom guy
does he become available after you find the stuff for mole?
cloud plank
Yes
cloud plank
He sells Beryl 5 early on and most importantly NVgen 2 and binoculars 2
near star
I actually managed to get Beryl 5 before leaving the cordon
cloud plank
Nice
near star
guess enough military wanted to yeet the rookie village and I got lucky
cloud plank
also he sell wide ammo but dont know if the price is better than petrenko
near star
want to try and avoid factions anyways
unless you can get into the duty area without joining duty in ogse
cloud plank
you can
near star
cool
cloud plank
you can enter early on too, without completing x16
near star
good stuff
near star
is there a repairman in the bar area or am I about to have to hoof it across half the map for repairs
cloud plank
Barkeep does repairs
near star
really?
cloud plank
yes is hidden in a dialog tree
cloud plank
is one of is basic interactions
when you chat with him you can ask him a question about the zone or strelok group
one of the option is asking if he do repairs
is always available
also Shakarov do repairs, and Skinflint in freedom base
so you dont need to go all the way back
but i think repairs price vary depending on the trader
also tip, if you get a night star, Sids have a side quest related to getting one, in exchange he give you a tourist suit, with that armor and 2 flash or a moonlight you can carry 60 with no stamina loss
best suit for backtracking

all I've got rn is 2 anomalous bolts, a cactus, and a a few of those "health" artifacts I use to try and save money on medkits
