#

there's links to gunslinger, possible merge with atmosfear and such

#

of you want the misery version you have to look at misery's moddb page

torn tinsel
#

okay

#

thanks

robust forge
#

I just hope that they'll give the modmakers access to TAZ and Gunslinger

torn tinsel
#

i need to try some other mods except call of chernobyl

robust forge
#

You do

torn tinsel
#

i do

robust forge
#

Try some ShoC stuff

#

Like OGSR or OLR

torn tinsel
#

first i need to install it

#

proamulus you know how to get rid of coc without reinstalling stalker?

robust forge
#

Hmm

#

I remember that I've done something like that

#

Although I don't seem to remember how

torn tinsel
#

i will save like 13 minutes then

robust forge
#

Also

torn tinsel
#

can i combine gunslinger with some other mods?

robust forge
#

Only stuff like Absolute Nature

pseudo rivet
#

Atmosphere as well

robust forge
#

Gunslinger unfortunately isn't like STCoP or AO

#

I wished it was

pseudo rivet
#

There's a mod that combines those, right?

torn tinsel
#

ye same

robust forge
#

Same with TAZ

#

Or let's just wait for another ALFA MODMAKER to steal the content

torn tinsel
#

or make it yourself :P

robust forge
#

Informatics is black magic for me

torn tinsel
#

for me too

#

btw now i watch gunslinger and animations reminds me of tarkov

acoustic snow
#

yeah i played it with atmosfear and absolute nature/structures

#

its all in the video above

robust forge
#

Tarkov...

torn tinsel
#

btw what is with that military chopper

#

i got killed by this many times

finite dragon
#

I’ve watched the video

#

I tought you died @acoustic snow

#

Like quitting YouTube

robust forge
#

@torn tinsel which one

torn tinsel
#

in cordon

robust forge
#

Hmm

#

You need to crouch

torn tinsel
#

whenever i see it, it just fly straight at me and starting shooting

robust forge
#

And don't get into its sights

acoustic snow
#

it was just christmas time lol

torn tinsel
#

thanks for tip nikolai

#

i will remember smile_scar

#

is misery in english?

magic perch
#

yep

torn tinsel
#

but with gunslinger mod

acoustic snow
#

i think they made a translation

magic perch
#

maybe

torn tinsel
#

ah yes i found it

#

11 hours ago

#

excuse me what?

finite dragon
#

Bruh

#

I gave 557 shotgun rounds and I get 0 rubles

#

What is this

torn tinsel
finite dragon
#

not stonks

finite dragon
#

@acoustic snow just saw, thank you!

acoustic snow
#

lmao, my pleasure

static dagger
#

pleasure? hmm_cheeki

#

idk man, seems kinda kinky

finite dragon
#

seems kinda kinky ngl

torn tinsel
#

anyone can help me how to install misery with gunslinger?

#

if there's a possibility to

static dagger
#

I dont know how to tell you this but

#

that will 100% result in a corrupt game

#

so, no, there is no possibility to do that

#

even if it somehow worked, you would have 2 completely different weapon art styles

hushed aurora
#

But there is already a merge mod of those 2

hidden cape
#

A blacksmith would be handy in the Zone, now that I think about it.

static dagger
#

rebel seriously?

#

where

#

I need to see this

finite dragon
#

erm, i was playing SoC and Skull got sniped by the freedom sniper and now i can't finish the assault on the base to join duty after killing half of them already. how do i fix this?

static dagger
#

reload a save

finite dragon
#

i overwrote it :/

#

i didn't realise until it was too late

static dagger
#

reload an autosave

finite dragon
#

rip

#

guess i'm not joining duty in this playthrough

static dagger
#

there probably is some way but maybe it will appear after all weedom members are dead

#

I havent played soc in a long time

#

@pseudo rivet

finite dragon
#

hm, i could go on a rampage and see what happens

#

as long as i can talk to the barkeep i should be fine

static dagger
#

ask crimson about it

#

he's a living stalker wiki

finite dragon
#

ye, will wait for his response, thanks

pseudo rivet
#

What's up?

#

You can't join Duty in SoC

#

At least not officially

finite dragon
#

@pseudo rivet i mean yeah, but i wanted to the raid with Skull and he just died

pseudo rivet
#

Nice

finite dragon
#

i have his body in front of me and idk what to do with him

#

:c

pseudo rivet
#

Loot his body

finite dragon
#

i did already

#

😄

#

is there any way i can revive him via console commands or something

pseudo rivet
#

But yeah, best bet would be to reload a save

finite dragon
#

i had no chance to save him, he got sniped while i was reading his text

pseudo rivet
#

I'm afraid not

#

What about the Auto Save?

finite dragon
#

let me check

#

nope, all gone because i was running around doing other things hoping he'd just kinda come back to life

pseudo rivet
#

Darn

#

That sucks

finite dragon
#

oh well, guess i'm just moving on without this

#

thanks for the help 🙂

hushed aurora
pseudo rivet
#

Good luck

finite dragon
#

thanks!

finite dragon
#

@pseudo rivet well, erm, lyonya showed up and now apparently he's fine with taking the quest instead of skull?

#

what i did is wipe out the entire base myself and he showed up and accepted all my quests

pseudo rivet
#

Nice

#

Glad to hear it got solved

finite dragon
#

it is kind of funny how they have dialog saying: "there are more of them than we thought!" even though literally the entire base is dead

pseudo rivet
#

There should be stairs

finite dragon
#

this is so silly, they're literally walking through the base and complaining about how many of them there are

pseudo rivet
#

I guess they're high?

#

Oh

#

Yeah, there's a way to get there

#

Probably by dropping down

#

There are stairs to the third floor, right?

#

Gates, though?

#

Yeah, lemme check

static dagger
#

it looks like im getting a really good deal on a 1k+ pc

#

4th of the price

#

stumbled across a company which deals in massive scale 3d projects, an they change to new pcs every year

#

I know one of the people in that company who is willing to let me buy at a 4th of the price

#

so its either I got really lucky or I didint, need to see with time

#

its a desktop pc

#

if I keep dusting it properly and don't act like an idiot with trying to run newest games on ultra graphics I should be fine

#

true

#

I'm clueless in how to fix anything

#

never used a desktop in my life

#

only at a friend's place

autumn shale
#

So...

#

I finally got to Pripyat in CoP

#

and I am a bit

#

disappointed?

static dagger
#

ye amnesia

autumn shale
#

I expected Pripyat to be more dangerous

#

like in SoC

#

but

#

it feels harmless

#

at least for now

static dagger
#

yea Martin its not as populated

autumn shale
#

all I found were a pack of blind dogs and two monolith squads

#

none of which posed an actual threat to me

static dagger
#

the missions are where it's at, though

autumn shale
#

true

#

I already got the Gauss rifle

#

now I just gotta test my might and fight the pseudogiant at Zaton

#

to get to the files

static dagger
#

also, visit the the 2 buildings with vines growing between them, you can climb the vines into an apartment with a Very very good stash

autumn shale
#

I actually think SoC's Pripyat was nice

#

it was just too short

#

There was nothing to do, it felt like a filler transit area

static dagger
#

I wont reveal that stashs contents, but it includes a gun that you most likely haven't had till now

autumn shale
#

the SG550?

static dagger
#

nope

#

not any of the guns you can get from trading i think

autumn shale
#

oh, I found it

#

the PKM

static dagger
#

or atleast it's only sold after you go to pripyat

#

yeah

autumn shale
#

I saw that gun just two times so far

static dagger
#

Zulu had 1

autumn shale
#

I know Zulu had it and I believe one exoskeleton zombie once spawned with it

#

but I could not take it due to weight limitations

static dagger
#

its actually quite nice when it's fully upgraded with accuracy and recoil upgrades

#

imo

autumn shale
#

I am glad I took F2000 from Nimble though

static dagger
#

aye

#

one of the best weps

autumn shale
#

true

#

I took it especially due to my experience with it in SoC

static dagger
#

have you tried the protecta?

autumn shale
#

yes

#

I found it really nice

#

and it saved me in Pripyat underground

static dagger
#

reload time is extra though

autumn shale
#

true

static dagger
#

its good for places like the underground though

#

its usually waves of enemies

#

so you have time to reload

autumn shale
#

I remember the first time I fought a burer

#

I brought protecta with me

#

unloaded an entire mag into his head and he dropped dead before he could even deal any damage

static dagger
#

one of the worst feelings in any stalker game is a burer taking your fully upgraded weapon out of your hands and then throwing it at you, causing it to be damaged

hidden cape
#

I managed to get one in 12 buckshot shells

static dagger
#

but getting cash in cop is very easy anyway

#

and repair costs are low

#

compared to some mods I've been playing

#

I was playing*

autumn shale
#

true

static dagger
#

you play any mods yet Martin?

autumn shale
#

I normally play with ZRP

static dagger
#

zrp?

autumn shale
#

but when I finish CoP, I might look into Anomaly

#

well, ZRP, SRP and PRP are a series of mods focusing on improving the vanilla gameplay by for example fixing bugs, providing optionable features and allowing you to customise certain in game variables

static dagger
#

looks like i missed out by not hearing about it

#

a warning for anomaly, though

#

its a Grindy mod

#

if you have the patience to deal with grinding out faction missions for better equipment, the mod is for you

#

otherwise, not so much

#

only other thing that is kinda in the gray zone in anomaly is the crafting and repair system

#

but apart from that, it's a great mod

#

real good main mission line too

#

there is, there's setting you can set for how much traders buy and sell items for, plus how much relations you get by completing missions

#

even with how much loot you find, too

#

aswell as how many stalkers spawn

#

mutants too

#

basically, it's very customizable, it even allows for you to increase your max carry weight by up to 500kg more

hidden cape
#

I made the economy as forgiving as possible, stuck with everything else.

#

Economy is just absurd in Anomaly. Repairs are overly expensive.

static dagger
#

indeed

#

I ended up setting up like 8 stashes in the duty base and always putting my loot in there, everything sorted out
only sold the stuff I needed to buy ammo and stuff

#

I did this because when I went around the duty base asking normal folk for missions, I could just take the items from my stashes that I've saved up instead of buying or killing someone for it

#

very good way to farm relations

#

the non trader npcs offer pretty much the same relation gains as the trader and commanders

#

don't be a loot goblin smile_degtyarev

#

tfw you save as npcs are throwing 10 grenades to your location

#

clear sky in a nutshell

#

its the magic of the zone

#

one day you may find 6 artifacts, the other day a literal army of 200 zombies will spawn on your bed

autumn shale
#

Yanov is a silly place

#

I literally had boars, snorks, rodents and blind dogs spawning inside

static dagger
#

oh God yanov, I once had a controller come into the yanov station and I couldn't shoot it because I couldn't take out my weapon.....

autumn shale
#

though instead of hurting stalkers they just got stuck inside a door

hidden cape
#

Anomaly has an exclusion zone so they don't spawn right on you.

#

The worst incident I've had with a controller involved a controller, a chimera, 4-5 dogs led by a pseudodog, and an emission.

autumn shale
#

what the hell

hidden cape
#

It was a bad time.

autumn shale
hidden cape
#

I've never had much trouble with Burers.

#

My very first encounter with one in the Aprogrom underground was nervewracking.

autumn shale
#

I once I got so angry at a burer that I just snapped

#

he threw away my weapon

#

so I just started running towards him with a knife

#

knives are damn good against them

#

though

#

RPG is not a bad idea

#

I got one at Volkhov, it was useful

#

since 2 burers spawned right after I picked it up

static dagger
#

how convenient

autumn shale
#

then a bunch of duty dudes came in

#

and started attacking random zombies from distance with AKs

#

missing 90% of all their shots

hidden cape
#

I usually just use my Saiga

autumn shale
#

and that continued for over 20 minutes

static dagger
#

I wish I recorded the time 14 burers spawned at jupiter near the entrance to the factory, that was hell

autumn shale
#

and then more burers spawned in

#

and you can take a wild guess how it ended

pseudo rivet
#

With the end

static dagger
#

do you like the sight of your own blood?

autumn shale
#

well, let's just say Duty guys turned into dutist delights

pseudo rivet
autumn shale
#

@static dagger Patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

pseudo rivet
#

When I got this assignment, I was hoping there'd be more gambling

autumn shale
#

We won't go quietly. The Legion can count on that.

#

Fallout NV was the best one in the series imo

#

it felt like a true sequel to 1 and 2

static dagger
#

I'm pretty excited to play fallout 4 though

#

already played all the other games

#

and all my past pcs couldn't handle fallout 4

static dagger
#

especially with mods

#

I loved modding fallout nv

#

I'd imagine fallout 4 would have better mods

autumn shale
#

Fallout 4 is decent as a game

finite dragon
#

fallout 4 will disappoint anybody who wants more like fallout nv

autumn shale
#

but it has got quite a few lore inconsistencies

#

and is not a good fallout game at all regarding RPG elements

static dagger
#

I've seen a ton of fallout 4,so I know what I'm getting into

autumn shale
#

but the gunplay is improved at least

static dagger
#

a ton of fallout 4 gameplay*

autumn shale
#

btw, someone is remaking Fallout NV on Fallout 4 engine

static dagger
#

I saw that

#

speaking of

#

you know SKYRIM?

#

someone remade the entire game and story in a mod

#

its called enderall

#

really awesome that one

#

completely new story, new map, some new gameplay

finite dragon
#

Is it worth getting the PSZ-9d armor?

#

Its a little worse then the Berill, but I can afford it.

static dagger
#

its your choice, you could save up a bit more for a berill and use it for a long time until your next armor

#

amnesia what's stopping you? the fireball?

hidden cape
#

I would advise saving up and getting the next tier.

#

But, I will admit, that's how I wound up in Zaton wearing a broken NBC suit I looted.

static dagger
#

if its not showing up, there's no artifact there

#

or do you mean is it on your detector but yo can't get to it?

#

looks like it's glitched inside the building

#

like at that anomaly in zaton near the gas station

#

I always have an artifact stuck under the ground there

#

did you get the stash?

#

up in the apartment

#

nice

#

lmao

#

fun fact, if Zulu survives the underground and you help him out at the school event

pseudo rivet
static dagger
#

I think you can kill him after without affecting the ending

finite dragon
#

g

static dagger
#

remember, no Russian

finite dragon
#

Got the bulat or berill or whatever it is

#

It was worth going for two more artifacts, honestly

pseudo rivet
#

Gottem

finite dragon
#

60 bullet protection is amazing

pseudo rivet
#

-unmute @finite dragon

iron heathBOT
#

Unmuted @crystal lagoon

finite dragon
#

no punish me

#

I joined Duty, because freedom kinda sucks and I dont want the gun that much

#

im bored already

#

jesus my seva was worth 18k

pseudo rivet
#

Try to think about the consequences in the future

finite dragon
#

hm

#

ban?

#

i have a alt i guess

#

hm

#

lemme ping it here

pseudo rivet
#

Already assuming the worst, eh?

#

I'm not always around to unmute you

finite dragon
#

yes

#

im playing with some friends rn

#

Well, I'm restocked and resupplied. Time to go kill Freedom members.

#

Clear Sky

pseudo rivet
#

Duty side?

finite dragon
#

military at cordon is hard

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

like

#

Duty side

#

at clear sky military too hard

#

If you can find me a free bulat please tell me where it is

#

yeah

#

2 slugs to kill

pseudo rivet
#

It does

finite dragon
#

literally no idea what im wearing, then

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

strelok

pseudo rivet
#

No, it's in CS

finite dragon
#

Speaking of the military, time to go and massacre them all so I can get that gun

#

i suggest not

#

due to MG

pseudo rivet
#

You can just wear it

finite dragon
#

you cant even sneak past that

pseudo rivet
#

Frontal assault.

hidden cape
#

Cleared the southern outpost yesterday. It's possible.

hidden cape
#

I started fighting from the left hand side, actually, down in that draw. Had to pull back as I was getting flanked, stick to the draw and go over to the left. Didn't encounter the MG for most of the fight.

static dagger
#

along the road there usually seems to be decent cover in terms of trees

#

I've heard only good things about spec ops

#

man, so many games to play when I have a pc

pseudo rivet
#

Haven't seen Saint Jester around for a long time

#

Wonder how he's doing

static dagger
#

probably busy making nlc videos

#

or modding something again

robust forge
#

Oh yeah

#

Where's Jester

finite dragon
#

he's probably burnt out on stalker after beating NLC 7

#

its a very draining mod

#

in a good way

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

so i upgraded my new armor a bit

#

65 bullet protection makes me feel like a god

finite dragon
#

h

#

im still using the viper 5 and its starting to be a bit ineffective

#

the only issue is theres nothing to swap it out with

#

its not bad or anything, its just that bodyshots do very little and i need to still magdump for headshots

#

im thinking of picking up an AC-96/2 and modding it into a sniper rifle

#

the viper is "accurate", but its really not since theres no scope

#

h

#

oh and 9x18 isn't a great caliber fighting armored people

#

you see

#

i used special ammo for viper

#

on a renegade

#

took a mag

#

to kill

#

yeah its not great

static dagger
#

the ac96 is a very good choice

finite dragon
#

i prefer the AK from the start

#

im loyal to my weapons

#

also

#

557 shotgun rounds

#

0 rubles

#

WHAT THE HELL

#

I LOST 30 KG FROM THAT

static dagger
#

I believe the ac96/2 is one of the best weapons in anomaly, it was so boring for me to use it because it was so good, so I started switching to other weapons to try them out instead

#

it is definetly a very good investment

#

not to mention the ap rounds are insanely effective at dealing with armored enemies, plus it's decently cheap to maintain

finite dragon
#

h

finite dragon
#

is the SGI-5k good for mid-game?
im abt to make my way to pripyat, but i cant decide who to give the Duty's Founder PDA too.. both sides seem good

#

im gonna complete all the missions in Yanov, to get the most optimal ending sequence, and i finished everything in Zaton

#

the sig is fine yeah

#

think the only thing i didnt get is like 2 stashes and 1 of them is bugged

#

who's the best to give the PDA to?

#

either i get awesome anomaly gear, or awesome combat gear

#

ah i already gave flint into freedom so why not

#

planning to get the "Leader" achevement

#

Is there a personal box in Pripyat?

static dagger
#

yes there is

finite dragon
#

drop stuff on the ground

#

they didnt reset

#

while i was gone for 1 hour

#

can i return to Yanov after i've made it to Pripyat?

#

yes

#

garry exists

#

ooh thank god

#

i can leave the freedom suit and the rocket launcher behind

static dagger
#

you can "sneak" up to the monolith by crouching

#

as long as they don't see you, and you are crouching , they can't "hear" your shots, even if it's without a silencer

river agate
#

Anybody play anomaly before?

#

If so, do packages do anything in the game?

pseudo rivet
#

@static dagger

hidden cape
#

I need to repair the Nosorog or whatever exoskeleton I looted. The tank one.

#

Also, was rolling a suppressed MP5 with an EOtech sight for a bit. Was great.

finite dragon
#

woo i got a red x8 keycard and got into x8 :D

#

grins in X8 Armoury

finite dragon
#

the only thing i managed to get out before hercules stopped working was a RP-74 ._.

#

you can still access the lab after u did the Laboratory X8 missions, right?

#

if u still have the cards, that is?

#

i got the rifle repaired beforehand, making One Shot a hell ton easier

#

and that one controller

#

it was a lot easier to repair than i thought

#

step 1: take it to cardan
step 2: wait for him to wake up
step 3: get schematics from the lab in the iron forest
step 4: profit

#

oh no

#

i gave it to cardan, but before i went to X8

#

i dont really know locations by specifics, but thats where the big boi gauss cannon is, right?

#

but it isnt the same thing :P

#

oh and can i sell all of the data i get to owl?

#

like, can i sell the rainbow laser-thing book?

#

or the PDA from the guy who was near the elevator?

#

or the poison gas key papers?

#

yeah

#

that option

hidden cape
#

Keep a notepad handy.

finite dragon
#

well, yeah Strelok gives u free batteries and u need him for the most optimal ending

#

cant get it, already got "a friend of freedom" i think

#

the Wealthy Customer or something?

#

oh and i realized that "marked by the zone" isnt quite as glamorous as it seems

#

oh

#
  1. you lose 90% of ur health when u black out during an emission (thats what makes u survive it), making u extremely vulnerable if u were in combat with mutants or etc a bit earlier, and 2. i kinda liked the whispers ambiance.
#

i miss the announcer voice ringing out every once in a while

#

well, thats what i did one time

#

when i used anabiotics

#

and i got attacked by 2 snorks

#

at least, i think thats what they're called

#

they did next to no dmg, but were quite a scare for 2.57 seconds

hidden cape
#

Guys with gas masks jumping around on all 4s?

finite dragon
#

no

#

gotta find them sec

#

sorry, 2 fleshes

#

not snorks

hidden cape
#

Ah.

finite dragon
#

yeah

hidden cape
#

Yeah, Snorks are not fun, at least not in Anomaly.

#

Their accuracy while jumping is incredible.

finite dragon
#

snorks are at the most annoying for me rn

#

especially when i was doing Pripyat 1

#

got 2 or 3 total ppl dead first run

hidden cape
#

They're real good at applying bleed.

finite dragon
#

kept bringing too much stuff and not enough hercules

#

so i died by the first monolith ambush

#

i once lost a guy to rodents

#

so i restarted

#

i didnt

#

i had like 67kg/70

#

got a berill-3b(?) with 10+ kg

hidden cape
#

Loot runs always start empty.

finite dragon
#

i think im playing on rookie or normal rn

#

probs rookie, cuz i had no idea how to play

#

only like on 2 days ago i noticed the visibility meter, and yesterday the entity counter

#

im pretty bad ngl

#

and i have 30 hrs

#

shrug we all gotta start somewhere

#

yeah

#

psudogiant was a nightmare first time

#

then again, i killed it first time

#

im also having trouble installing mods

#

cant install even gunslinger properly

#

i have no idea

#

i install everything in order - then the exe. doesnt work, saying a file that doesnt exist is missing

#

i just recruited strider to freedom cuz suit's better

#

yeah

#

but nitro aint such a big deal to me

#

i was more worried abt hawaiian

#

i apparently got a "lifetime discount" so i dont think the price increased for me

#

so yay no change

#

its not cheaper, and not more expensive

#

but hawaiian's stuff is cheaper, so thats a plus

#

yeah i already got 60k

#

i also got "one of ours" so now beard buys my artifacts for like 25% more than what they're worth

clever verge
#

I made 60k aswell right before heading Yanov, fixed my stuffs, upgraded my SPSA-14, my SIG pistol, Barge Sunrise Suit and placed an order for an Assault Rifle to Nimble.

#

Then asked Pilot to guide me towards Yanov, now i'm waiting for Nimble's call.

#

now i don't remember very well the price, was it 20k or 40k.

#

with 4k in advanced.

#

I hope it's a good weapon, I sold my AKM-74/2U and i'm carrying the Vintar.

#

Surprise, surprise.

#

Will it be christmass in the zone?

finite dragon
#

i have a Tide, second tier SPSA-14, sig 550, gauss rifle, and in storage a RP-74

#

and a black kite and a rpg7u

clever verge
#

RP = rocket launcher?

finite dragon
#

machine gun

clever verge
#

Oh that one.

#

rpg7u = rocket launcher?

I turned the spawn rates down and played as an ecologist, and CoC is much better when you have a moment to breath, and particularly when Ukranian's T-800 program is hunting you constantly

#

do bullet calibers effect how much damage is done

#

like, 9x18 to the chest vs a 5.56x45 (or something like that?) to the chest

#

cs if its worth mentioning

#

well not damage

#

but armor piercing or something?

#

Of course, it does. I noticed the velocity of rifle rounds like 5.56, 7.62 etc is much higher than 9mm

#

thought so honestly

#

i dont think a higher damage stat matters if the bullets cant pierce bandits

#

Well if bullets don’t work, then you’ll need more bullets

#

i could always buy armor piercing 9x18

#

Of course

#

i like the faction wars but i dont like it when it takes like half an hour for ONE guy to arrive

#

and then he gets killed by dogs

#

But then I think I’ll stick to my 9x39 then. I still have nightmares about my experience with the MP5 in SoC

#

Rip. He died fighting

#

so we "lose our foothold at the garbage"

#

and i gotta wait another half hour for one more guy to come

#

Well for me I just tried to be a friend with all sides. Whenever there is a fighting I just go out and scavenge everything left, best part is that no one will shoot me

#

Life of a loner...

#

Until these bandits at Agoprom shot me. Goddamn it

#

Nonsense, comrade! You must do your Duty!

#

Who needs Duty when you have money?

#

Why not both?

pseudo rivet
#

Who needs Duty, anyways?

finite dragon
#

Everyone! The Zone! Mutants, dangerous anomalies, and more need to be eradicated

pseudo rivet
#

If only you knew

finite dragon
#

He will

#

k-knew what

pseudo rivet
#

Lots of Duty supporters joining into the server as of late, by the way

finite dragon
#

lots of smart people, then

pseudo rivet
#

What it means to be a Dutyer

#

And what Duty means to the Zone

finite dragon
#

Order, they said. But....

#

this is vague, unless its a call of pripyat spoiler just tell me

pseudo rivet
#

It's a Duty spoiler overall

finite dragon
#

i'll ask again once i finish call of pripyat

#

You should

pseudo rivet
#

You probably won't notice it in CoP, unless if you're being attentive

#

However, you can notice it

finite dragon
#

Yeah, the magic word is the detector and help the Eco

#

And Yanov

pseudo rivet
#

Not only that

#

The secret about Duty is not even Duty related

#

Rather, its fauna

finite dragon
#

im not very attentive

#

pretty obvious things will slip by me

#

literally spent half an hour before i figured out i had to shoot those things in the soc ending

#

Attention is very important if you want the best ending for CoP too

#

looks like im not getting the best ending :P

#

ill try

#

alright well i got my AC96/2, i guess ill head to yantar

#

i need more money for upgrades

#

Good luck

pseudo rivet
#

CS?

finite dragon
#

And it’s not that hard

#

I didn't know there were good and bad endings to CoP, the second time I played through it I was determined to make some guy get to some place with minimal holes, but he stopped, then ran backwards and died in a pile with some other npcs

#

Xray man...

pseudo rivet
finite dragon
#

That guy who stopped because he’s got a headache? During the evacuation

finite dragon
#

Well, I really need money and im all out of artifacts to find

#

Cop?

#

hm?

#

im going to go hunt freedom members

#

Since when does duty have a foothold in dark valley

#

pro stalker tip: dont drink 10 vodkas at once

#

i can feel scars liver shutting down

#

Too late, that vodka stocks in the bandit’s basement is MINE

#

moderation is key

pseudo rivet
#

Huh

#

I guess you skipped the information in CS

finite dragon
#

About intoxication?

pseudo rivet
#

About Duty

finite dragon
#

Which one if I can ask? My brain is just crap

pseudo rivet
#

The information that can be heard from Chekov and a gifted stalker who is located in Agroprom.

finite dragon
#

seems like i did

finite dragon
#

The AC96/2 is very good, but its low accuracy is bad

#

I'm going down the full accuracy route though, so that wont be an issue

#

Neat

#

That gun carried me all the way to Warehouse ngl

#

and now i need to go back to the swamps so the clear sky tech can finish the upgrade tree. my lord.

#

I know, swamp is just a big death trap

#

Bulat is almost broken, still at 65 bullet resistance somehow

#

costs 8k to repair

#

Just another day with the ‘wonders’ of the Zone

#

26 rubles, everything needs repairs and i am out of medical supplies

#

These days are hard, I know

#

not quite sure what to do

#

artifact hunting isn't a choice since i have no meds and neither is fighting

#

How about running some errands tho?

finite dragon
#

@pseudo rivet are you talking about ||a member of duty supplying weapons to bandits?||

pseudo rivet
#

||Not exactly Duty, since it's a corrupt Duty trader||

finite dragon
#

||i mean yes, but was that the thing you were talking about? it's been a few years since i last replayed the stalker games, just started again recently||

pseudo rivet
#

||The Zone reacts with aggression against anyone who wishes to do harm. As such, everywhere where Duty goes, there will be Mutants. This way, Free Stalkers will actually be brought into danger||

finite dragon
#

||isn't this sprinkled all over the place in SoC dialogs as well?||

#

||i think i've heard this quite a bit from random stalkers i talk to in SoC||

pseudo rivet
#

||Probably CS. Don't know if it's in SoC||

finite dragon
#

||i thought this was not exactly 100% understood and people seemed to talk about it as what they believe, is this in fact supposed to be that way?||

#

||in fact, i think this was mostly a freedom-shared view, while some stalkers here and there will mention it||

pseudo rivet
#

||Not exactly, there are also Stalkers who have been gifted unusual powers by the Zone. One of them claims that Mutants leave him alone||

finite dragon
#

||i always find it hard to believe these stalkers, in my eyes there's nothing too special in the zone, it's just a bunch of people living in this odd place going insane all together and coming up with their reality, duty included||

static dagger
#

that's alot of blacked outspoiler text

finite dragon
#

Oh, that?

#

I knew about that.

#

||I just thought it was a superstition or a lie from Chekhov.||

#

@finite dragon ||i think it's just a freedom thing tbh||

#

stuff like this is probably intentional though, makes it possible to have their own opinion 😄

#

||Yeah, same - it just sounds like propaganda.||

#

||It might be true, given the emissions and all, but I'm not sure thats conclusive. I'd rather have the Zone lash out a bit then do whatever it wants.|| @finite dragon

pseudo rivet
#

||It's true, you just need to be attentive||

finite dragon
#

||really?||

robust forge
#

||Why are we talking like this?||

finite dragon
#

||because its a spoiler? lol||

finite dragon
#

Maybe the condition was low

static dagger
#

... low accuracy? the ac96/2?

#

was it not upgraded at all with flatness and accuracy or something?

#

even then it isn't inaccurate

#

^

#

I bet any weapon used by him is inaccurate

finite dragon
#

i mean

#

you lost the bet

#

i bet any weapon used by him is inaccurate

#

please stop taking the piss enough people think im a joke offline anyway

#

im pretty sure its the condition or something, the spread is just

#

w i d e

#

unfortunately i have 26 rubles and nothing to sell

#

@pseudo rivet ||is it true though? every time i just go wipe out some mutants, the area usually remains clear... in fact, most of the time i do a raid on freedom, they have some wounded stalkers with bloodsuckers nearby, whereas duty checkpoints are usually the safest places in the zone||

#

||i'd assume thats for gameplay purposes...?|| @finite dragon

#

@finite dragon ||maybe, but in SoC you can't join duty, yet it's still the case. there are a few cases where duty asks you to fight off mutants, but it never feels dangerous. that said, moving around freedom checkpoints usually results in me fighting bloodsuckers||

#

||I suppose. Don't think thats conclusive, though.||

#

@finite dragon

#

perhaps 🙂

#

||idk, i'm still very sceptical about it being the case, because duty checkpoints are usually the safest places to be, whereas everyone that's "with the zone for research" tends to be overrun by zombies, psi emissions, mutants and what not||

#

||Yeah... I care about people more then the zone. Most of the people there "for research" wonder if they could, not if they should.||

#

in all seriousness, i really need money and selling enemy weapons isn't cutting it and im more or less out of artifacts to find

pseudo rivet
#

Probably because you've raided Freedom?

#

Check out Rostok and Agroprom

#

The place is a mess

#

Blood and bones everywhere

#

There's a reason they're being hunted down

autumn shale
#

I hereby declare that I am super bored

#

so I am combining stalker soc and cop gun sounds together

#

too see how would they sound combined together

#

jesus christ

#

the Groza sounds damn good this way

finite dragon
#

i guess i could load an old save before i joined duty

#

not sure what good that does me

#

since i'd still be low on everything

pseudo rivet
#

Because of lack of money?

#

Isn't there any work you could do?

finite dragon
#

Nothing really. I can collect flash drives but I have literally nothing on me

#

its not a lack of money either - I'm low on everything else and I can't buy more without money

pseudo rivet
#

Hmm

#

I suppose you aren't interested in looting weapons and finding Artifacts?

finite dragon
#

I am, but weapons give such a low turn out and i dont have enough medical supplies for artifacts

pseudo rivet
#

Try other miscellaneous items as well, such as vodka, food and ammo

finite dragon
#

well, i do

pseudo rivet
#

Hmm

#

I guess it'll just be a lot of hoarding, then

finite dragon
#

wait can i still get Strelok's notes during Evacuation?

#

the mission just started and idk if i can still get the notes cuz garry left to Yanov to restock

#

and i need moar batteries

#

OH GOD

#

🤔 the curse filter on this server is somewhat questionable by my standards

#

anyways, im going back to Yanov and finish a couple things at least

#

time to reload save

#

i'd delete it anyway

pseudo rivet
#

Swearing isn't allowed, yeah

finite dragon
#

dumb question, but does Gunslinger work with CoC?

#

I like using that version over others.

#

no, i think gunslinger is only for CoP

#

@finite dragon gunslinger is only for cop

static dagger
#

the tribe has spoken

lunar verge
#

What's a gunslinger

feral verge
#

Someone who slings guns

finite dragon
#

I'm about 10 hours into my game, but I have an exosuit, a bunch of quality artifacts, and possibly enough ammo

#

Prepare your orifices labs

proven bison
#

Gunslinger is genuinely pretty good

#

Next gun they'll add into the mod is the Groza

#

Though I personally believe they should instead, well

#

focus on completing current upgrade trees

blazing ridge
#

Just finished CoP with gunslinger mod
So I'm looking for an interesting global mod
Any tips?

#

Should I try Dead Air?

finite dragon
#

OGSR

clever verge
#

I'm kinda digging and not liking at the same time this ominous vibe Yanov/The area around Jupiter transmit, the desolated feel, plus the soundtrack... ugghh.

pseudo rivet
clever verge
#

Nice, i found a military helmet and a Martha.

finite dragon
#

They even left some really good stuffs like an LR300, an Spas 12, or even an GP25 and M203 around. That’s why I love CoP, that game’s so generous

clever verge
#

Yep! i've seen a Thunder near one of the areas of evacuation at Yanov.

#

It's crazy they leave those stuffs around, didn't picked it, tho.

finite dragon
#

I hate the fact that cop doesn't have a hobo phase

#

the game is just far too easy

clever verge
#

Well the game start far into the center of the zone, Degtyarev must have passed the Cordon phase quite a while ago, i'd imagine.

finite dragon
#

he gets dropped in there

#

he doesn't get all the way there from cordon

clever verge
#

BS you're lying!

finite dragon
#

look up the opening cutscene again

pseudo rivet
#

As far as I know, it isn't said

#

They just say that the sent him to the Zone along with a description of his equipment

#

This isn't Degtyarev's first time in the Zone, from my knowledge

clever verge
#

"Begins his journey towards the center of the zone".

#

Ooohh, that's a nice data.

#

isn't his first time

#

It's so strange i can't find anything on CoP wall taggings.

finite dragon
#

Not to mention he’s a government agent too, so ofc he’s better equipped than the other 2 at the start

clever verge
#

Get ready, @pseudo rivet . Tomorrow (in 8-9hs from now) we'll be playing a game.

#

Time to bed.

pseudo rivet
#

So, the Encyclopedia claims that there were Special Forces headed by a Paramilitary Stalker Detachment and Major Zvyaginstev said the he was the commander of a Special Forces Battalion which wasn't Spetsnaz

#

Where were the Spetsnaz during that raid?

finite dragon
#

They’re the kind of guys who wants to be found out only if they wanted to

pseudo rivet
#

The problem is, this was the kind of mission a Spetsnaz operative would do

#

Rather, the Military Stalkers are used to explore the Zone and map it, along with finding a cause and consequences of the Zone

#

So really, they should've all been there

finite dragon
#

I think the Army still wants to hide a trick or two under their sleeves

pseudo rivet
#

They were probably there, just not talked about

finite dragon
#

I know, wet work and shady stuffs

finite dragon
#

CoP is pretty easy to be fair, especially with two main weapon slots

#

Though it does decently hard in Pripyat

#

But the challenge comes from not having good ammo

#

Want to use the SVU?

#

Psyke! Here are ten shots, now go on and destroy a militarized cult

#

Mono’s everywhere with high grade weapons, bloodsuckers is hanging out too

#

The Monolits are the problem

#

They soak 5.45, which is the only common ammo

#

I know, but hey, nothing can’t be solved with some 5.56 to the face right?

#

Tbf, I've only played vanilla CoP on stalker difficulty, but 5.56 was useless too

#

Big no fun

#

At least the eliminator melted mutants

pseudo rivet
#

Try to use AP more frequently

finite dragon
#

Eliminator is a death incarnation but I suppose you didn’t try Strelok’s SGI right?

#

It didn't drop, even though strelok died

#

The vintar was good, but I spent all my ammo fighting burers in X-8

pseudo rivet
#

Vintar in close quarters is a bad idea anyways

robust forge
#

Shooting burers is bad idea aswell

pseudo rivet
#

True

finite dragon
#

Knife time!

robust forge
#

Knives or grenades

pseudo rivet
#

Can't they just send those back to you?

finite dragon
#

Welp, this is helpful knowledge

#

250 rounds not used well lol

robust forge
#

They can, but you can time it right

#

Also grenade launchers

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah, I were about to mention that

finite dragon
#

Oh and that SGI, you can find it in a secret stash though

#

Oh

#

Alrighty

#

That one is special, you’ll love it

pseudo rivet
#

SGI-5k is already a pretty good weapon

#

Strelok's SGI-5k is just a better weapon which wasn't really needed

finite dragon
#

I know, over 30 weapons is not for nothing right?

#

I only got strelok's SGI when I was playing AO, but it was obsolete when I got it

#

7.62x51 and 7.62x54 are op in AO

#

Full size rifle rounds, ofc they’ll be OP

#

Yes, but they're cheap and plentiful, from a balancing perspective it breaks the game

#

It was about 5000 for 50, and they could be bought from any trader

#

Admittedly I knew to stock up, but I had about 1200 rounds of 7.62x51 going into Pripyat

pseudo rivet
#

Mods usually break weapons

#

That's why I don't like them

finite dragon
#

AO increased weapon damage for the enemies and the player, which made the game much more realistic, and 7.62 rounds were still needed for monolits, but the economy was broken, and 5.56 and 5.45 were useless

#

I'm playing CoC with AO and increased weapon damage, so that 9x18 rounds will kill an unarmored enemy in 1-2 headshots, and its very fun, but the economy is a lot better than CoP

finite dragon
#

Yeah, what a hard time to make a living in SoC I remembered

Ok i need some help

im currently playing Stalker:SoC (my first ever stalker game) and how do I not die on the first mission with the bandits?

#

Then you're pretty good

static dagger
#

well, shoot them in the head, don't stand out in the open, use your keyboard to play, the mouse is pretty important too if you want to play anything

#

you also have an inventory which you can access by pressing "i"

#

standing next to your enemy while letting them shoot you also isn't very good

#

I think thats all the tips I can give you personally

finite dragon
#

talking to the guy on the hill outside that camp helps too

you could pick up their shotguns once they die

Hey hey people.

#

How's everyone.

finite dragon
#

the vintarez seems good

#

sniper, can full auto already, not too many upgrades, decent ammo, low weight, nice accuracy

#

silenced and scoped already, this doesn't sound bad at all

#

well i gotta say its better then all other guns i used

#

got more upgrades, yeah its good

finite dragon
#

why'd i have to sell my seva before i entered yantar

static dagger
#

guess you thought it was a good idea at the time

#

that's how things usually go

finite dragon
#

course it was a good idea

static dagger
#

you think doing one thing will be beneficial, but it comes back to bite you in the arse somewhere down the line

finite dragon
#

a bulat for 25k that i can get right now and still have 10k leftover?

#

dont mind if i do

static dagger
#

true

finite dragon
#

well i could reload an old save

#

and i really dont want to

#

or i can buy a new seva suit

static dagger
#

where did you get the seva?

finite dragon
#

god save my wretched soul

#

i got my first and only seva when i was a part of the stalkers faction as a reward

#

upgraded it a bit, wasn't bad. bulats better

static dagger
#

which game are you playing?

finite dragon
#

clear sky

static dagger
#

hmm, I'm not sure if in clear sky theres a stash for a seva in the Wild territory

#

or in soc

#

let me check

finite dragon
#

soc

#

ill buy a new one and pawn it off later.

#

despite how much i DONT WANT TO

static dagger
#

ah, it's in soc

#

welp, you decide what you nerd right now

finite dragon
#

could upgrade the bulat but that'll probably cost more lol

static dagger
#

you're gonna end up facing a ton of zombies in a mission in yantar, so a bulat might have been a good choice

finite dragon
#

a bulat is a good choice regardless

#

ill just pick up another seva

static dagger
#

good choice comrade

#

did you already do the stalker escort mission in yantar?

finite dragon
#

the one where you get a sunrise suit as a reward?

static dagger
#

I'm not sure what you get as a reward for it, but you go with a bunch of stalkers from the mobile lab to the factory

finite dragon
#

oh not yet

static dagger
#

I recommend you stock up on alot of Ammo

#

lots of ammo

#

that mission is going to send a big amount of enemies at you

finite dragon
#

1000 rounds for my vintar BC

#

50 or so armor piercing

static dagger
#

I'm not sure about radiation, but might be a good idea to stock up on anti rads as well

finite dragon
#

guns fully upgraded for accuracy, two headshots kill enemies easy

static dagger
#

and, damn, that's alot of ammo

finite dragon
#

yeah its a good gun

#

beats out everything else i can get

#

the already built in silencer and scope help out a lot

static dagger
#

ready for everything eh?

finite dragon
#

until i can pick up something else, this'll be my go to

static dagger
#

I'm not sure if there's a better gun, though

#

maybe the fn200

finite dragon
#

oh god the suit is 20k

static dagger
#

go artifact hunting comrade

finite dragon
#

im in yantar so i am

#

scientists pay the best i think

static dagger
#

that they do

#

if I remember there's 4 anomaly spots in yantar, right?

finite dragon
#

so far i got 10k from one artifact alone

#

just two more or so and i'll be ready

static dagger
#

2 in the factory, 1 outside the mobile lab and 1 on the hill

finite dragon
#

i wont buy the suit from them its way overpriced

#

2 are in the factory? oof

back to agroprom

not inside the buildings

#

well one technically is

finite dragon

ohh

#

as long as it wont kill me

static dagger
#

nah, check out he one on the hill too

#

the*

#

its a fire one if I remember

#

1 chemical outside the mobile lab

#

and 2 electrical in the factory area

finite dragon
#

found a map

#

wont be too hard honestly, im feeling pretty confident with the vintar and the bulat

static dagger
#

what won't be too hard?

finite dragon
#

finding the artifacts

#

like, i probably wont die

static dagger
#

do you have a veles detector?

#

or a bear?

finite dragon
#

i got the one that shows you a map kinda

static dagger
#

veles then

finite dragon
#

veles

static dagger
#

nice

finite dragon
#

yeah, it does its job well

static dagger
#

its the best one, so yeah, it does

finite dragon
#

wasn't there another one

static dagger
#

in cop

#

there is a 4th one in cop called a....

#

crimson help

#

ah, svarog detector

#

along with having the properties of the veles, it gets a cosmetic upgrade and it shows you where the anomalies are, so you can pretty much only look at it and ignore the rest of the screen

finite dragon
#

oh jesus god im so stupid.

#

i dont need to go into the factory, the stalkers are near it and near an artifact

static dagger
#

only in cop, though. in cs there's only 3: the echo, the bear, and the veles

finite dragon
#

at least i picked up two artifacts, lots of ammo and medkits i can get

static dagger
#

nice

finite dragon
#

oh wait im about the attack the factory

#

i do need a seva.

#

jesus lord why

static dagger
#

have fun comrade

finite dragon
#

so glad i lost my old save file

#

im on the roof defending the guys fixing the valves with a good gun and armor piercing ammo as well as strong armor and lots of medical supplies

#

i was in the same situation on my old save file with a nearly broken seva, a viper 5 with almost no ammo and no meds
