I were just going to mention the AKM-47/2
proven bison
Well yeah, but it fits as the bottom-of-the-barrel rifle in the game
Serves its purpose
That and the MP5
It's how they're catagorized in the game
Lmao
pseudo rivet
proven bison
I would probably sell it just to piss off that one Loner who really wants an AK sitting in the corner
The IRL Zone would be split between bandits, factioners, loners, and that guy
pseudo rivet
Y e s .
proven bison
That guy is the type where like
he brings an actual prototype weapon into battle
or is really, really bad at being a Stalker
but isn't dead yet
clever verge
Just leave the weapons out of the equation and make a Walking simulator.
pseudo rivet
I like being that guy
proven bison
he's accidentally smart
finite dragon
The "my daddy's rich" guy
proven bison
And by prototype, I don't mean modern prototype
Oh yeah that's another group too
But yeah, I mean old prototype
I mean the type of prototype you'd see on Forgotten Weapons
that he probably won at an auction
pseudo rivet
But if yo daddy b rich 'n all, then y u b in da Zone?
finite dragon
Street cred my dude
clever verge
Yeah, fo' fan
finite dragon
Gets the chics
proven bison
Most likely because he wants to prove he can be independent
in the worst way possible
clever verge
Laik Cartels
proven bison
The rich kid is the type that'd bring an EBR into the Zone
clever verge
The rich kid would probably bring a butterfly knife to the Zone
proven bison
The Rich Kid would bring a golden Desert Eagle, actually
To be honest
Just imagine him bringing a pair of golden 1911s
pseudo rivet
Or that pistol that went down through the family for generations
proven bison
And then losing them to bandits
pseudo rivet
Duty does use the Vintar BC, though
proven bison
he doesn't die they just
kick him in the nuts
and leave
There's the ""Daddy's Money" rich kid
And the "actually smart and might actually reach the center" rich kid
the latter is so rare
clever verge
The rich kid would probably bring a Merc, a Scientist and a Guide.
proven bison
you'd most likely see the "Golden Deagle" dummies instead
clever verge
The merc for shooting, the scientist for detection, and the Guide for a walk in the park.
proven bison
See, a Desert Eagle isn't a terrible weapon
Fun fact: In real life it CAN be used for handgun hunting
finite dragon
A rich kid would bring an ultra light, speed holed, t a c t i c a l ar 15, change my mind
proven bison
the .357 model might actually be the most practical
A rich kid probably would
he'd also probably shove some golden bits in it
pseudo rivet
Strelok is that guy that got curious, stayed for the riches, got karma'd by the Zone and now wants to destroy it
Quite childish, I must say
finite dragon
@pseudo rivet Kinda Redrick
proven bison
the Daddy's Money rich kid probably has a heli
clever verge
Never nuke a country twice, specially if it nuked itself.
A rich kid would probably jump out of a plane into the center of the Zone.
proven bison
Lmao
clever verge
PUBG style
proven bison
So there's the that guy Rich Kid
pseudo rivet
In case they're corrupt, that is
proven bison
Aka "somehow isn't dead yet" kind
pseudo rivet
There's also some that aren't corrupt
proven bison
The "literally 5 seconds" rich kid
because he dyed his or her hair bright green
then there's the "actually knows what he's doing" rich kid
aka the "literally batman but with guns" rich kid
proven bison
Pretty much lmao
There's also the "My daddy's the head of the cartel" rich kid
But I think he gets catagorized in the "literally 5 seconds" catagory
he's the type who brings a golden Desert Eagle and golden AK into the Zone
gets robbed by Bandits and gets beat up because he tried shooting at them with his lacking gun skills
and then dies to a single Tushkano
clever verge
Bandits would carry the golden weapons
proven bison
Oh more than likely
I imagine THAT kind of Rich Kid would be apart of the Bandits
Most likely only has any sort of position because he is at least smart enough to get them connections
clever verge
and the Rich kid would become a though MOFO
proven bison
And has actual cartel connections
Then they'd probably actually give him some kind of respect, I imagine
Probably because he's rich enough to afford actually decent stuff off the black market
clever verge
should i edit that?
proven bison
The CIA visits the Zone
Mind you
This is modern times
And immediately get yeeted
pseudo rivet
clever verge
also in their tipically civilian clothes.
clever verge
Black short sleeved shirt, and a denim jeans
pseudo rivet
Yeah
clever verge
and construction boots
proven bison
Hence, Rich Kid Mercenary
clever verge
and a cap
proven bison
or the "Stolen Valor" merc
pseudo rivet
That's because this was an earlier model
clever verge
Chewing tobacco.
proven bison
The thing about our CIA is this
They like causing chaos because they stink
They're not smart
nuff said
It's basically like if Goofy was malevolent
that's the CIA
pseudo rivet
The SAS, NRF and KSK do have the correct camouflages and do make use of the new texture
proven bison
Trust me, they can cause problems in countries and such, but just because they can disguise and buy out and pretty much groom people into being terrorists to destabilize places does not mean they're smart
They're good at finger painting and giving money
that's about it
clever verge
SAS: God save the queen before entering a firefight.
pseudo rivet
God save the Queen
pseudo rivet
Yep, she's still trapped in her castle
proven bison
My bets are on MREs
clever verge
Imagine the poeple who would buy the artifacts, the queen for her longevity.
pseudo rivet
You just happen to wander into the wrong castle every time, just because you weren't being attentive
clever verge
and Gwyneth Paltrow for the beauty
proven bison
Various other monikers
basically quick to prepare and long shelf life food, typically
Pretty much
I've noticed one thing in common between the different countries and militaries MREs
And that, my friend
is a good cracker
Which we stopped salting in ours for some god forsaken reason
pseudo rivet
Salt means thirst
proven bison
I think it can actually be the opposite in small amounts
clever verge
taste means soft.
pseudo rivet
NOT ACCEPTABLE
clever verge
you gotta keep though!
proven bison
If you're heavily dehydrated then it means it's a problem I think
clever verge
although you get some energy drink powders.
proven bison
Yep
proven bison
That seems to be somewhat universal in most militaries MREs
clever verge
the super sweet ones?
proven bison
I forgot what it's called
I know there's a joke about purple drank in here somewhere
clever verge
Cool-aid!
proven bison
Lmao
pseudo rivet
Imagine MREs in the Zone
proven bison
Think Cool-Aid but with electrolites
proven bison
Appearantly a bunch of militaries
clever verge
Gimme my bread and my sausage.
proven bison
Pretty much
clever verge
and i'll down it with Vodka
proven bison
A lot of places, like Russia for instance, their MREs tend to contain Tea
here in the US it's almost always both Coffee and the Sports Drink stuff
pseudo rivet
I believe it does, yes
proven bison
Cocoa though seems to be relatively universal in the cold climate ones
clever verge
Tea is nice.
proven bison
I imagine Vodka in the Zone would be relatively rare amongst serious Stalkers
clever verge
but if i went into the Zone i would bring 3 kilos of Yerba Mate.
proven bison
Probably for celebration purposes at most
clever verge
our kind of tea.
proven bison
The magic of a pot, a cover, and something to start a fire
Because the ability to boil water and make stews and soups is great
But yeah, MREs
clever verge
You guys drink it with milk, right?
proven bison
would most likely be immensely common in the Zone
Drink what with milk, Tea?
That actually doesn't sound too bad
proven bison
Fun fact
proven bison
We developed an MRE pizza here in the US
pseudo rivet
pseudo rivet
Sounds like a "Sure, why not" concept
proven bison
If I saw that I would immediately start poking fun at the lunchables pizza he's pretty much eating
clever verge
Imagine the moist odor the Snork has.
speacially for living underground with no air circulation
proven bison
I want to gag and it's not because of the thought of the smell
it's because you used the word "moist"
proven bison
ew
clever verge
proven bison
Now, one gun, a rich kid gun
That I can actually see someone who knows what they're doing would use in the Zone
is the WA2000
clever verge
Try carrying that into the zone through the mud and the barbed wires while being shot at
proven bison
It's a heavy weapon, definitely
That's a professional's piece for long range, most likely
The kind of gun I'd give to some merc marksman in the Zone to get on his good side, not the kind of thing I'd use
clever verge
Until a Monolithian get it's hands on it.
proven bison
Yep
Then you'd have problems
Very, very big problems
Yep
I'm talking if some Monolithian got his hands on it
That'd most likely completely block off a path further into the Zone if he had enough ammo for it
.300 Win Mag is a really, really strong round
Not a .50 Cal, sure, but it's got a good kick to it
Better hope some Stalker is a better marksman
Or else that path will be unusable
Especially since .50 BMG is not hard to get your hands on
Same with ones armed with a VKS
hidden cape
Mfw 6 dogs, a controller, and a chimera all decide to have a go at me right before an emission
proven bison
Such is life in the Zone
And the Zone is having that time of the month
To be fair I wouldn't be surprised if it makes an appearance
Not the first time special purpose weaponry has appeared in the Zone
Right
To be fair, a lot of the people heading in the Zone, at least the guys who aren't professionals and such?
I can actually imagine an influx of "Purse guns" and such
I'm talking things like PPKs and snubnosed revolvers
Most definitely would be used by lower end bandits and Stalkers who couldn't really buy an actual gun
Well I mean
SNS means Saturday Night Special
That's kind of the nickname here in the states for cheap, ultracompact pistols like that
Yep
proven bison
Ouch, that explains it
That's like STALKER: Pain Edition
But polished
STALKER: Polished Ouchie Edition
Oh no
That's just plain STALKER: But It Hurts To Play
hidden cape
My only big complaint off the top of my head is how much of a pain in the ass repairing gear is.
proven bison
STALKER MISERY Is, well
It's something I want to like, right
I like the idea of it but it was the execution that kinda screwed it over
hidden cape
Oh, and the modded character is a weak puss who needs to crawl in a ditch and die.
proven bison
There is no way it's in Misery
Enter: Misha Tetanus
Delicious, delicious rust-flavored tetanus
Like I know Misery is supposed to be hard core
But the main character, when I think about how he is and such
It makes me think he looks like Christian Bale from The Machinist
hidden cape
So, the monolith have been shot and killed. And their friends at the camp by Forester's. And their friends on the road away from Forester's.
My point still stands. The character is a weak, pathetic thing.
clever verge
I entered the Scar anomaly, loved the Psy exposure sound effect. The earing pulse, felt quite real.

IDI KO MNE

Good luck

SHOOT EM
clever verge
Shoot them all down.

MERYL, SHOOT
keen hollow
How would I take screenshots from Stalker again? I forgot how to do it
No, I mean take screenshots I've taken from the files and be able to put it here
I may need some help
keen hollow
How can I get to the screenshots folder?
clever verge
there's a stair
sturdy locust
Wait did serigy retire
keen hollow
Got it
clever verge
exactly
fight the mono
Be careful, because you'll have to platform a bit.
there's a crane holding a plank, you gotta go through it.
the arrow must be pointing the Rock.
go through the portals and get the true ending.
Snorks in almost every corner.
Yep in the other half of the map
finite dragon
I wasn't even bleeding too much or taking too much damage - my armor was just crap.
Not sure if I really wanna rush for the seva, while it is good i'd rather do other things then hunt artifacts
clever verge
If Bulletproofing is what you want, you should get the Skat-9 the Military stalker outfit.
the exoskeleton or Duty's military suit.
one of those
finite dragon
I agree, Skat-9 is all around and the most balanced
Exo basically makes you become a walking tank with the best armor and decent hazards protection. AND able to carry truckload of equipment too. If you don't mind to be unable to sprint, of course
clever verge
I think i'm ready for Yanov, I don't believe I have more to do in Zaton. There's that one Being living in a Cave, but it has a conscious of it's own, I don't see why attack him.
finite dragon
Still scared the tard out of me when I heard voice from that cave.....
pseudo rivet
You can always move from the area around Jupiter to Zaton
clever verge
I'm going to sell some of the Artifacts and weapons i have in my stash, upgrade Barge's Sunrise bodysuit, carry the Vintar, my thrusty pistol and my cutie eye.
finite dragon
Did that controller can really talk or it's their psychic power?
How about some juicy deal with Nimble? He's got some REALLY good gears, if not the best, in town
clever verge
I don't think i have enough money, he ask for a lot in advanced.
finite dragon
Just going to your bed a lot to spam artifacts and then voila
I know it's grinding but it's easy money
clever verge
Oh, cool.
pseudo rivet
And its also good for artifact hunting
finite dragon
Yep
clever verge
So, Yanov would be the second area** to go?
finite dragon
Forgot to ask, have you got the map at the crash site 2 yet?
finite dragon
Neat, things will be easier then
pseudo rivet
No need to think of it as levels
It's basically like every map throughout the Stalker series
You can return to them whenever you want and they all have their own thing, like traders, technicians, other characters and, of course, anomalous areas
clever verge
Right, it's kinda hard not to think of it as levels, because it's just 3 areas.
I don't want to miss out on anything
pseudo rivet
CoP does seem like a DLC
But some concepts and systems got overhauled, so I guess that's why it's a game
finite dragon
Or in other words, mission-packed sequel
clever verge
Alright, time to sell some stuffs, pack up and go find Trapper.
pseudo rivet
Still, I'd rather have the weapon system from CoP than those of SoC and CS
finite dragon
Agree, SoC's one was hell mate, can't even fix my stuffs
pseudo rivet
Not even looking at that
The statistics of the weapons and armor from CoP are way more balanced
Like, every weapon is now a viable weapon
Same with armor
Of course, there are a few exceptions, but perhaps that's because I haven't tested it yet?
finite dragon
And they toned down the bullet-sponge thingy too
finite dragon
Got the SEVA
It has way less bullet resistance then my sunrise did but its better in every single way and I don't care enough to keep using the sunrise
The SEVA is a one huge middle finger to the hazard environment of the Zone mate
But not to people there, sadly
And their guns
I suppose.
It's less, but its basically just straight up better
What's it matter if I can take a few bullets if I get wrecked by an anomaly
Plus, I'll go to freedom base and maybe I can get some upgrades there.
stone valve
who will win, controller or dark one from Metro 2033?
finite dragon
dark one
rofl
dark one literally dies from six revolver bullets
You're on SoC right?
two duty guys in exosuits would probably play football with its skull
Nope, Clear Sky
700 roubles to get to the freedom base, bypassing all of cordon and the garbage? what a bargain
Ah I see, the Warehouse got some good stuffs there, you'll see
Just bring a lot of bullets and meds
There we go, upgraded the SEVA
I spent 10k on it but for 15 more bullet resistance and for 50% more durability its hard to say I wasted money
Fair trade, the only thing is you have to be friendly with the Bandits
Might sell the artifact I got
Radiation -6, but my gear needs repairs and I need more upgrades
i can also just buy vodka, which is cheaper
They always need that repair
Which weapons are you using right now? Just curious
Viper 5 with a lot of upgrades (9x18 ammo, 100% flatness, more accuracy and less recoil)
oh and mag size
and a HPSS-1 with similar upgrades
I have a vintarez just
sorta sitting there, but nobody sells ammo for it
Dude you got my respect, you got to Army Warehouse all by that alone!?
...what?
its what i've been using the entire game honestly
i died a LOT, but that was because i was on clear sky armor :/
pseudo rivet
Impressive
finite dragon
what am i supposed to use
pseudo rivet
Assault Rilfes, .45 ACP Pistols,
finite dragon
dogs and other beasts aren't an issue, and a headshot or two can kill bandits
well now you bloody tell me
Man, I've been using that 7.62 AK and an Tunder and CS is still hard as HECK
it really is hard in the earlier parts
pseudo rivet
Bulat Military Armored Suit
finite dragon
but literally all the rifles, at a first glance, perform worse then the viper
finite dragon
their ammo is expensive (9x18 is cheap and abundant), their rate of fire is worse, their accuracy is worse, their recoil and damage is usually worse
The Viper is under-powered if you ask me
i guess i can go artifact hunting and pick up a new gun
any recommendations
pseudo rivet
Damage is more than an assault rifle, yeah
finite dragon
which is just stupid
pseudo rivet
SGI-5k
finite dragon
not sure anyone sells that
pseudo rivet
Especially if it has been upgraded for sniper fire
finite dragon
i can probably get one via quests, im at the warehouse now
and here i was thinking im using a good gun
Are you still keeping that unique AK47?
the what
The Trophy AK?
pseudo rivet
AKM-47/2
finite dragon
i'm not sure if i ever had it
if i did, i most likely sold it for like 3 rubles to buy bandages
pseudo rivet
That would be an enormous oof
finite dragon
how do you even get it
pseudo rivet
Via a quest
finite dragon
which one
finite dragon
oh yeah i 100% didn't do that
pseudo rivet
Nice
finite dragon
Just remember to complete the quests before it first
i was too focused on not dying, i had a really hard time in cordon/garbage until i scrapped together enough shekels for armor
I know, can't blame you for that
Basically, that's an AK which can use the 7.62 ammo of both the LMG and sniper rifles
Combine the fire rate of an 'K then you can guess what's next
I'm just gonna get the SGI-5K, pick up a few artifacts with my new detector and armor and call it a day
pseudo rivet
And the ability to have a GP-25 Koster
finite dragon
wait theres an SGI in the military base/warehouse itself or
Wait I thought it can only accepts the silencer?
pseudo rivet
It doesn't accept the GP-25 Koster?
finite dragon
Yeah?
pseudo rivet
To my knowledge, the AKM-74/2 can't use the Silencer, so I suppose the AKM-47/2 can't either, right?
finite dragon
so wait, which one do you recommend getting
i need something long term thats just good overall
finite dragon
👍
Well, I gotta bolt now, later
got a kolobok
Thanks, then I'll take a screenshot of an silenced AK47 too
night star as well, very nice
finite dragon
okay so that SGI-5k is a ways away
like, i need to go through agroprom to get it, but the viper 5 isn't gonna get me through agroprom
anything to use til then
il-86 sucks as well..
how does- how does the hunting rifle have better stats then the viper
ok this is interesting
the raw stats are better, but it doesn't exactly work
pseudo rivet
It is better
finite dragon
wait, i cant join freedom, is it because im in the stalkers faction? if so can i leave
pseudo rivet
Just that it's not automatic, unlike the Viper 5
So that means less DPS
You'll need to complete a quest for Freedom before you can join them
finite dragon
which one
pseudo rivet
Chekov will give it to you
finite dragon
aight, when?
pseudo rivet
Right when you've completed the run through Dark Valley
Which you have
So yeah
Check up with him
finite dragon
S'pose I cant get my 4k rubles back after getting jumped by bandits?
finite dragon
I dropped all my things outside, so I lost nothing of value
except one bandage
"run through dark valley"? remind me
finite dragon
yeah i'm there
pseudo rivet
Go to the Freedom base, enter into the hangar, go to the second floor and enter a room. Chekov will be there
finite dragon
but what do you mean "run through", like a quest or
pseudo rivet
As in "go over there"
pseudo rivet
And you can't join him?
finite dragon
says i cant join right now
"chalk it up to superstition", but later they'll let me in or something?
pseudo rivet
So yeah, you need to do that Merc Mission
finite dragon
i had an old save on an old pc that went to the forester and i still couldn't get in
right, well who do i actually get it from? not the guy in the garage or the barman or chekhov
pseudo rivet
Then you should be able to join them
finite dragon
just join, why do you hate duty, what does freedom do and goodbye
pseudo rivet
Reputation with Freedom?
finite dragon
friends, not in the green yet
pseudo rivet
Halfway?
finite dragon
yeah
pseudo rivet
Bug
finite dragon
cry
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
or maybe im just missing something
pseudo rivet
Nah, you killed the Mercs at both the Farmstead and the Factory, right?
finite dragon
Correct.
pseudo rivet
Then you've encountered a bug
pseudo rivet
Yep
finite dragon
so... probably nothing i can do
maybe i can join duty? even if i really wanted that damn gun
Apparently there's one at... bloodsucker village.
nevermind thats soc
pseudo rivet
Ashot should still be able to sell it, I think
finite dragon
Unfortunately, no.
Anything I can use until then or do i just stick to the viper 5
pseudo rivet
Best bet would be the AKM-74/2 or the AKM-47/2
finite dragon
both are just worse in terms of damage
finite dragon
still mad i cant get the damn money back
do i really wanna take on the military for a slightly better gun
pseudo rivet
pseudo rivet
You don't have 5.45 ammo?
finite dragon
None at all.
pseudo rivet
Sold all of it?
finite dragon
Never had any.
Nobody sold it, and by the time I found a seller (like, 3 minutes ago) I was way too low on cash
pseudo rivet
Nobody dropped it?
finite dragon
Nobody I fought.
And I'm on a grand amount of rubles - 562
So uh, what did I miss?
Well, the duty guy gave me 10k rubles so I'm not basically fighting with snorks for scraps of bandages
The duty armor sucks and the gun is worse then the viper. Spectacular.
The duty is rich of course
Freedom didn't wanna let me join? Chekov didn't wanna give me that gun?
I'll go and take it from his cold, dead hands
Btw tbh I don't trust these gun's statistics much tho
pseudo rivet
Me neither
finite dragon
Of course it depends on other's different taste and opinions, but I value the weapons through experience and trials imo
@finite dragon Just wait until you meet that ghost in the mine mate. It'll be REAL fun
Ok then, Tunder S14 or viper
the viper has better accuracy and damage but is on par with everything else
5x45 was it? is cheap
finite dragon
I can get the upgrade, though.
pseudo rivet
Still, it does do more damage than any other gun
finite dragon
Disappointing
So I needed to go to the duty base first to join freedom.
Interesting!
pseudo rivet
That's impossible
Oh wait
You said you managed to make your way to the Army Warehouses, right?
finite dragon
Apparently now he's ready to accept me into their ranks.
pseudo rivet
Nice!
finite dragon
I said I was going to try to
pseudo rivet
Ah
finite dragon
I don't exactly want to fight duty as I like them more but
pseudo rivet
Then that's where I got confused
finite dragon
That gun sounds juicy
pseudo rivet
Yeah
finite dragon
The godforsaken gun is in my hands.
pseudo rivet
Nice
Along with a SUSAT 4x Scope
Yar can help you with upgrading the gun to be just like a Sniper Rifle
finite dragon
It's not EXACTLY a sniper rifle, it doesn't have pinpoint accuracy but its as close as I'll get
Unless I fully crouch, then its a laser beam forged in heaven.
Or hell, depending on what end of the gun you are.
finite dragon
The SIG?
pseudo rivet
Along with the lowered RPM, you would be have less recoil and thus a better time to focus on the head
Yeah, the SGI-5k
pseudo rivet
Then you can't fully upgrade the weapon
pseudo rivet
Okay
finite dragon
interesting
so i cant fully upgrade it if i dont take a crap upgrade
But I watch content
pseudo rivet
It's a good upgrade, honestly
finite dragon
How about the G36?
finite dragon
And can't mount the GL too
static dagger
spill the bwns
finite dragon
Well, it has literally pinpoint accuracy even while standing
I got the caliber upgrade so I have around a 1000 rounds in stock
I went back and went the full sniper path
Time to make Duty leave the zone, permanently.
Damn son, we loners just try our best to stay neutral to all
Most of the time
bruh people do roleplay here
how do you change your nickname in this server
It's a pretty good gun. Not sure if it was worth pissing off duty.
They got pretty good gear and a damn good aim too man. Hope you're ready
So so, I honestly like them more.
finite dragon
There'll be another time mate
finite dragon
I have a save at duty base. I'll probably just join them and use the viper, its not a major downgrade and I can find a good gun anyway.
I'd recommend an Tunder or an SGI, an AC96 is good too
My gears during endgame was all fully upgraded Exo, AK47, Tunder and Vintar plus an RG6 for heavy work too
pseudo rivet
@finite dragon
What name do you wish to have?
finite dragon
no wait
военный снаряд
Just wait until you get to Limansk
Maybe you'll need an PKM too
finite dragon
ok thanks homie

So I'm at radar
I wanted to finish off the wounded monolithan
did a mistake by trying to do that
so he blew himself up in the name of blue rock
and he exploded so hard that it crashed my game

the first mistake you made was
not killing him before going near him
he was able to convert you into a monolithian

I couldn't figure what to do and I just ended up deleting it
overall 10/10 experience
autumn shale
Have you ever experienced that when you finished the magpie quest in COP, the freedom went hostile?
It's weird
finite dragon
aye homies how do i get rubles in the rp both channel
autumn shale
Well, I just found out who Magpie is and what he did like you are supposed to in the quest
then I was given the option to choose who to task with dealing with him
pseudo rivet
You chose Shulga, didn't you?
autumn shale
so I told Shulga and suddenly Freedom became hostile
pseudo rivet
Yep
autumn shale
oh, so it is intended
pseudo rivet
Because you've killed a Freedomer
autumn shale
still, the outcome was rather funny
pseudo rivet
If you don't kill them, they won't turn hostile
pseudo rivet
Yes
autumn shale
¯_(ツ)_/¯
yeh, I decided to side with duty after this
but the outcome was funny
I had to escape Yanov ASAP
before freedom squads could kill me
they were swarming all over yanov
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
So
autumn shale
freedom were still hostile
pseudo rivet
Of course
autumn shale
and everyone was dead except for their general
and his bodyguard
who attacked me next night
finite dragon
Is that a bug
autumn shale
but I sniped him using my AS VAL
pseudo rivet
Nope
finite dragon
@pseudo rivet If you side they are supposed to attack?
pseudo rivet
Not exactly
autumn shale
so literally the only freedom member surviving was their general
damn anarchists...
finite dragon
I have sided with duty twice and never had freedom attack.
pseudo rivet
If you side with either Freedom or Duty and become a Friend of them, the opposing faction will still be Neutral towards you
autumn shale
well, at least Yanov is Duty territory now
however the best thing was
when I returned back to Yanov after a few in game days
suddenly
pseudo rivet
However, if you've killed a Faction member of the opposing Faction, then they'll become hostile towards you
pseudo rivet
Probably because you did one of Trapper his missions
pseudo rivet
You didn't just do that
autumn shale
especially so close to Yanov
pseudo rivet
You became a Friend of Duty
autumn shale
no
pseudo rivet
Yes
autumn shale
No, because I still had one more achievement task left
finite dragon
Freedom does not like duty
pseudo rivet
Then that's weird
pseudo rivet
Then that's it
autumn shale
but it did not impact freedom until I reported magpie
which was weird
very odd
because even after I killed them
freedom was neutral with me
for a very long time
wait, doesn't the guest completion also lower freedom rep?
if yes, that could explain it
pseudo rivet
Yes
pseudo rivet
That shouldn't normally happen
autumn shale
so when I did it
it went hostile
but just my assumption
the cop rep system is a bit odd
I killed hundreds of bandits
yet they are still neutral
pseudo rivet
That's normal
pseudo rivet
3 quests
autumn shale
yeh, 3 quests
finite dragon
These 3 quests's results aren't favourable to Duty right?
pseudo rivet
Shouldn't have this result, though
finite dragon
Wait, who did you hand Morgan's PDA to?
pseudo rivet
Same with the other Freedomers, right?
autumn shale
well, I delivered Morgan's PDA long after this happened. About 2 weeks of in game time
so it should not matter
well
other freedomers are dead
pseudo rivet
It does matter
Not all Freedomers are dead
You can't kill them all
They'll just respawn
autumn shale
only Loki and Yar are alive
but the rest
vanished
Yar was always neutral with me
no matter what happened
though
probably because I did that quest for him
the hit on bandits at Kopachy
pseudo rivet
Mercenaries
finite dragon
Somehow I still think that the PDA caused all of this tho
pseudo rivet
It shouldn't happen in the first place
Although
In what order did you complete the Missions?
autumn shale
wait a sec
I delivered Morgan's PDA first
but freedom remained neutral after it was complete
then
pseudo rivet
Of course
autumn shale
I recruited strider
autumn shale
yeh
pseudo rivet
Anyways, if you'll do the last quest for Duty, you'll be enemies with Freedom
autumn shale
yeh, when yanov and zaton get filled with mutants
the dangerous ones propaganda claims won't stop Duty
autumn shale
Basically I got into STALKER last year
I finished SoC some time ago
I started playing a bit of CS recently but I decided to skip it for now because it is kinda annoying
finite dragon
Same here
pseudo rivet
That explains how you've come to like Duty, I suppose
finite dragon
Can't blame you tho
autumn shale
and recently I decided to start playing it again and do CoP
finite dragon
CS was the hardest
autumn shale
I would generally say that CS feels uninteresting compared to others
It especially starts with the swamps
which are devoid of anything interesting
finite dragon
It depends of course, for me CS is like a different but fresh take on series though
finite dragon
Yep, espcially that Bandit radio and of course
"JOIN DOOTY!!"
finite dragon
You can't be a true stalker if you still have not seen Vova Vist yet
pseudo rivet
Indeed
autumn shale
indeed
finite dragon
That PKM alone would make the MG42s at D-Day ashamed
static dagger
for the hardest stalker experience, I like to play on rookie difficulty
this is where the men get seperated from the children
autumn shale
I always go straight for Veteran
pseudo rivet
Master
autumn shale
and I never regretted it
well except for gauss snipers in SHoC, they were pretty accurate indeed
finite dragon
Somehow the enemies in Rookie are more of a bullet-sponge than on Master
autumn shale
lmao
I always pick Duty because
I kinda lean towards them
they seem to be good at keeping order and law
and while they want to destroy the zone, they will never get to do it I bet
pseudo rivet
I mean, you are an illegal Stalker trespassing into the Exclusion Zone
There are no rules
autumn shale
technically, the main reason I really joined Duty is that I wanted a bunch of competent fighters who support free stalkers, try to at least keep some order in zone and are generally more reliable than freedom who see little dwarves running around everywhere
just my opinion
autumn shale
well, bar kinda looked like a safe place for free stalkers
finite dragon
How about that snork who push you out of the roof?
pseudo rivet
Doubt it
finite dragon
Hah
pseudo rivet
The fun thing about Rostok is, Duty says if you're allowed inside, yes or no
Even then, all Stalkers have to pay
They're passive towards them
autumn shale
though, I think the ideal outcome would be
finite dragon
Maybe the devs just wanted to mess with us
autumn shale
if duty and freedom just
solved things peacefully
instead of throwing grenades at eachother on every occassion
but i guess such is the life at the zone
pseudo rivet
Doubt that'll happen
finite dragon
Oh, you mean the RPG Monos
autumn shale
one thing I hope for in STALKER 2
is the comeback of Strelok as the main protagonist
pseudo rivet
I hope not
autumn shale
in CoP, he is just reduced to a supporting character iirc
finite dragon
That was what they planned tho
autumn shale
yeh
pseudo rivet
In the cancelled S.T. 2, yes
autumn shale
I hope it makes it
to final Stalker2
or that we at least get a decent main protagonist
finite dragon
We'll see
autumn shale
I mean... a merc, a loner and a soldier meet together
and no, this is not a beginning of a joke
so technically, it would be interesting if we got to play as a bandit next
or as a monolith member who gets back his humanity
finite dragon
Yeah, Strider as protagonist feels promising
pseudo rivet
Still, he is the Leader of his own group
finite dragon
He is a consultant for the government now
I mean depend on what you'll do in CoP too
autumn shale
yeh
though the retired stalker ending is canon, right?
well
depends on if stalker 2 confirms it
true
yeh
finite dragon

static dagger
english dub
autumn shale
I have noticed it is a recurring thing in english dubs
of russian/ukrainian games
technically, Nimble said that he gets his supplies through Cordon
so maybe Sidorovich is somehow involved
pseudo rivet
At least in cases of Assault Rifles
autumn shale
yeh
finite dragon
Well time to hit the bed again, later stalkers
pseudo rivet
Cya around
kind crow
Can someone help me please, im playing Anomaly as a freedomer and i just got to the rookie village where sidorovich is. For some reason my health is slowly going down and I dont know why. Its not radiation
static dagger
same thing as parents saying don't run with scissors
because you will fall on the scissors and the scissors will manage to penetrate your skull and kill you instantly
.... because of course they would
pseudo rivet
@kind crow
Bleeding or hunger?
static dagger
anomaly why do you delete what you type
clever verge
It's the amnesic effect.

@kind crow #⭐┃nospoilers_general is for stalker, #🔩┃trilogy_modifications is for modifications.

Which chimera? The quest one on Zaton?
clever verge
I followed Gonta while holding Shift (walk), doesn't make sound that way, crouch is way too slow compared to the npc.
waited for Gonta to give the signal for shooting, and went down right away.
flashlight off, ofcourse, not sure if they detect it.
so better off than sorry.
YOU'RE RUSHING IT!!!
hidden cape
Have you tried dart rounds or just buckshot?
river agate
Anybody know how to reduce lag on anomaly?
feral verge
Lower all of the graphic settings and play on dx8
river agate
Ight

Other than that, upgrading your hardware is your only option
river agate
I think I fixed it
finite dragon
CoC is beginning to bug me
Enemies constantly respawn, so there's no reason to clear an area
Most of the game is running from A to B
Idk man
I think I'll just play Gunslinger CoP
Oh, and CoC crashes every half hour
Is gunslinger stable yet?
why did you play coc before any of the main games
I played CoP then CoC
I ought to get SoC next
he hasnt played soc or cs
kringel..
Is it stable or not?
gunslinger has always been stable
just not with other mods on top
Aight
Honestly I'm just too stingy to pay an extra $10 for games rn
I'm spending all my money on robot parts lol
heh
its not hard to find a repack of the games
the gog copies dont even have DRM protection
Eh, I may look into it
finite dragon
whats your hud fov at?
change it to .35
nah
.40 makes is a little hard to see for the veles and svarog screens
finite dragon
Hey stalkers. Sydorovich is a boomer
pseudo rivet
Yes, he is
robust forge
Kinda
finite dragon
Sydorovich tells and orders Mecheny to do that and that. Usually boomers do that. Kinda funny.
clever verge
Okay, i've arrived at Yanov Station, and meet Nitro, Hawaiian and Trapper.
Told Trapper about the Chimera just for him to tell me there's another one, we killed the wounded one... no wonder it was easy.
Then it hitted me, i might have meet the other Chimera once, maybe it was a flesh, i don't know i just ran.
Then he told me he had a friend called Fox. Don't tell me that's our Cordon's Fox, right?
I love the Station building, it gives me a Metro vibe.
Now i have to do some errands for Nitro, so he can keep on fooling around with his radios.
Loved that 100 Rads name drop.
Just arrived.
I'm slow as a tortoise, 100 years old tortoise.
robust forge

i like to breath in that ironed tasted irradiated air real deep.
"Healthy as a Burer", huh. Wonder what does that means.
pseudo rivet
@midnight wagon
Depends on what you've done
clever verge
Nice, the Bunker at Yanov has an actual functioning decontaminant.
pseudo rivet
What Faction missions did you do?
Yeah, I told you about this
This won't help you with their trust
It does
Marginally
Yep
It's nice, yeah
It is
Is
Is
Not times eternity
Hecking
Too tired
No
Anyways, every choice has consequences
And every choice its pros and cons
They're the only ones who can disguise them easily, along with the promise of safety
It is pros/cons
Man of Balance gives you overall discounts, with a less expansive and exclusive inventory, along with the inability to recruit Strider and getting the Leader achievement
Then again, you could become a Friend of Freedumb/D00ty and get an excellent exclusive arsenal, along with a discount with the risk of someone making you pay more, plus the possibility of getting a new enemy
Yeah, but you like to get everything and want to have no "annoyances" during your gameplay
I guess it's a matter of perspective
clever verge
You're playing GOD, here.

I'm loving the rains in CoP, specially the heavy ones. But it only falls from up to down, there's not a slightly tilt to it, no interaction with the wind. Let's hope they make some heavy duty storms in S2.
finite dragon
someone pls link me to dis Gunslinger mod i'm dumb i'm v dumb
acoustic snow
