Hello fellow Stalkers
tired anvil
Heya
tired anvil
||Nah lmao||
finite dragon
||wot||
tired anvil
||Iirc it's like 3/5-ish into the story of SoC||
finite dragon
||hey that's not bad, i thought you meant i still have a LOT to do||
wait, sarcophagus = rocc
hazy raven
Once you enter CNPP, there is no way back though.
finite dragon
i will touch the rocc 
tired anvil
You will
hazy raven
So create checkpoint save before you go there from Pripyat.
finite dragon
wait what do you mean there is no way back?
tired anvil
Basically the nuclear power plant
When you get to it
It is sort of getting near the end of the game
hazy raven
The point of no return. When you enter ||Stadion|| at Pripyat, you get cutscene and then automatically enter CNPP, without way back.
finite dragon
go to the WG
also from the flashbacks, ||i was the person behind strelok while shooting the rats at the sarcophagus, the man without a face is strelok||
hey what's the worst thing that i can encounter in CNPP?
finite dragon
eh at least it isn't 100 snorks running at me once i enter
is the Military Armored Suit worth it?
finite dragon
Guardian of freedom it is
you told me that i shouldn't finish the game with more than 50k roubles, right?
finite dragon
180k
i don't spend at all Kek
i will go visit yantar and a get an armored hazmat suit probably
tired anvil
I did the mistake of basically not spending anything
You could buy some ammo as well
finite dragon
yeah
i will buy as much ammo as i could and show off the stupidly large number kek
tired anvil
Stack up on some meds as well
finite dragon
at this point i think pistols are useless
so i will just sell my pistol and it's ammo and top on more ammo and meds lol
tired anvil
PMm Gang
finite dragon
1000 bullets on my tundra and 50 sniper bullets, 4 Army , 3 Scientist 4 Normal Med Kits and 11 Anti Rads
that's all i have in my bag right now and i weigh 50 Kilos lol
i have 15 kilograms of ammo
time to go to CNPP
tired anvil
Gl with that

@tired anvil||i found a bunch of ooga chaakas jiggling their heads in a funny way at the middle of pripyat||
tired anvil
Nade 'em
finite dragon
they don't even respond if shot lol
tired anvil
They don't feel pain
finite dragon
imagine worshipping a huge lump of metal
wary cove
hail the rocc
tired anvil
wary cove
Iirc when they're doing the ooga Shaka wobble you can even sneak behind them and stab them without the others noticing
TOUCH THE ROCC JOSEPH
finite dragon
oh god there is a lot of monos at CNPP
tired anvil
oh god there is a lot of monos at CNPP
+Military chopper
finite dragon
the choppers are pretty neutral right now
the amount of ooga chakas is stupid though
finite dragon
nvm choppers aren't neutral
tired anvil
wary cove
[Operation Fairway intensifies]
wary cove
Hahahashhdhdb
True
finite dragon
Entire army and monolith vs 1 isnt fair...
due to common knowledge, a grenade won't hurt an APC right?
wary cove
Player versus the world
finite dragon
Player versus the rock...
wary cove
Um, never tried that
tired anvil
I don't even recall an APC but I don't think you can
finite dragon
Just use time_factor 0.1 and do matrix....
i was there till the sky turned rainbow 
Or at least in anomaly 🤷
tired anvil
So where are you at now?
finite dragon
then i got owned by a rocket out of nowhere lol
i'm still at the entrance near the three snipers
took a long run killed 5-15 guys ish then got hit by a rocket because i didn't see lol
Funfact: if you want to survive... RUN
wary cove
The last part of the game heavily depends on your stamina
finite dragon
^ thats why you should drop all your things, run and knife the rock-army 😩
And spam medkits/bandages
tired anvil
Nah shoot everyone before you get into the sarcophag
finite dragon
i ran to the sarcophagus
but two hinds come out of nowhere and start shooting me with the autocannon that apparently has infinite ammo lmao
tired anvil
Ukrainian god tier technology
finite dragon
so basically i'm getting shot from the back by oogas, front oogas, all round oogas and the military hinds
finite dragon
i shoud've come with an RPG
yeah i can't take cover
when i get to the entrance i have to kill multiple ooga chakas so i have to take cover to engage so i just run into them and die because the choppers aren't leaving me an option
time to do it run n gun style
finite dragon
wait
it's a blow out, does that mean i have to get into the sarcophagus to be safe?
hazy raven
Yep.
finite dragon
Bruh i thought i had to go inside and disable or destroy something
hazy raven
Also you can see how emissions were supposed to look in SOC, as they were supposed to happen at random times, like in COP and CS, but were cut.
This is only one full, scripted. (Second one was at Yantar.)
tired anvil
Bruh i thought i had to go inside and disable or destroy something
Well you will also sort of do that
finite dragon
but there will be no timer?
tired anvil
Once you're inside you should be good with 0 other timers
tired anvil
You actually could take it down if you had an rpg
finite dragon
Idk about their AI in SoC
But if they can dodge like in naomaly, you need at least 5 rpg bullets for 1 hind 😛
tired anvil
They won't dodge much
finite dragon
Yay
i'm inside CNPP now, and i gotta move to the next level
i have about 700 bullets and 3 medkits oof
tired anvil
Should be enough bullet wise
finite dragon
i found the gauss
tired anvil
Did you really?
finite dragon
and there is a lot of russian speaking i don't understand
tired anvil
Is it something like “Idi ko mne” ?
tired anvil
Yeah that is the rocc literally saying “come to me”
finite dragon
rocc
tired anvil
Speaking of gauss for 800 Rubles, one of the lads here turned it into a meme

tired anvil
south elbow
Do you have anti rads and/or a solid couple of red reducing artifacts?
south elbow
How many?
By the way I recommend that you save a lot and go offensively
Since the radiation there is high to say the least
finite dragon
i wish i did have lol
i have like 15 anti rads and a heck ton of med kits, plus i will probably never run of ammo
tired anvil
Any vodka?
south elbow
i have like 15 anti rads and a heck ton of med kits, plus i will probably never run of ammo
eh you're good
I won't forget my run in the ending sequence, enough ammo to get by, but NO HEALING ITEMS except for 2 bandages iirc, I had to muster enough artifacts to passively counteract the radiation and my save broke at the emission
tired anvil
I won't forget my run in the ending sequence, enough ammo to get by, but NO HEALING ITEMS except for 2 bandages iirc, I had to muster enough artifacts to passively counteract the radiation and my save broke at the emission
My first CS run was at the NPP with 0 bandages, low health and bleeding
A lot of quickloading hoping for some dude to drop with a Bandage

Time to hunt a chimera...
still ridge
Easy enough
south elbow
actually i have two bottles for me and strelok
@finite dragon ya playing blindly?
tired anvil
Yeah Joseph never played before
finite dragon
Shhh, ||dont tell him......||
tired anvil
||Yeah no spoilerinos ||
hazy raven
Did the quest in Zaton for Chimera hunting. Was advised to aim at its head and don´t let it close to me, as it can easily notice me in sleep. I used better weapon....a grenade!

And?
tired anvil
||people click on spoilers no matter what so for safety reasons I deleted it 
||
-unmute @finite dragon
iron heathBOT
tired anvil
Rip, too many spoilers got you
finite dragon
😭
hazy raven
Killed the Chimera by one grenade before getting objective to actually kill it. 😄
finite dragon
time for a big brain question
when hunting a chimera, are you even the hunter? or are you the prey? or are you both?
tired anvil
Both
wary cove
Both
modern glen
yeah both
tired anvil
In CoP there's a quest where you hunt down a half dead Chimera
So that is a good way to introduce yourself to one without dying, especially since you go after it with a squad
south elbow
half dead?
tired anvil
In a future mission you're all alone so it's harder
half dead?
Yeah like half of it's health is down in the mission
wary cove
Yeah it's supposed to be badly hurt
modern glen
oh that's why the npcs killed it so quickly
south elbow
oh right
finite dragon
Harder? Hah hold my f1 and f2 spam
south elbow
there's nothing in it to hunt chimeras, maybe unless hunter gives a quest
pseudogiants are easy compared to them
modern glen
agreed
tired anvil
Unless you just get the rocket launcher out
finite dragon
Just knife pseudogiant, but snorks... nightmare
wary cove
Yea, chimeras are annoyingly fast
finite dragon
the sarcophagus stage is pretty hard bruh
hazy raven
Yep.
modern glen
Yeah
finite dragon
constant radiation and a lot of exoskeletons + shotguns
Chimera is snork’s older brother
tired anvil
I guess it has a humanoid-ish face
tired anvil
That as well

So what's up Joseph
finite dragon
||i vant to be rich then i get covered by a whole bunch of dust and metal||
pseudo rivet
Nice
still ridge
He forgot to save
tired anvil
Oh
finite dragon
i actually saved
tired anvil
So you completed with more than 50k Rubles
wary cove
Good
finite dragon
can i get rid of my roubles?
tired anvil
That is the ending you get if you complete with more than 50k Rubles
Nah too late now
finite dragon
but strelok
pseudo rivet

still ridge
didn’t you find doc? @finite dragon
finite dragon
no i didn't find him
tired anvil
Rip good ending though
wary cove
Ummm
tired anvil
You got one out of the 6 bad endings
finite dragon
wait, i die in all ends?
tired anvil
Nah
pseudo rivet
Do you have a save that's in Pripyat or something?
finite dragon
yeee
still ridge
In all bad ends
tired anvil
In 5/7 technically
pseudo rivet
Reload that and continue exploring the Zone
wary cove
Time to go back
finite dragon
i will roll back, buy useless stuff then go again
tired anvil
If you want to get the true ending, speaking to Doc is advised
still ridge
Try to get the good end
wary cove
Remember, no more than 50k rubles
finite dragon
doc is in the agroprom underground base right?
finite dragon
Wolf?
finite dragon
time to roll back and spend my roubles on useless stuff
pseudo rivet
He's doesn't have a legendary status in the Zone
tired anvil
Wolf is merely a rookie trainer type of dude
pseudo rivet
This guy is rumored to be the first guy to enter the Zone
tired anvil
Who knows all the routes

Did anyone have problems with the latest Windows update? My pc can't boot now :(
tired anvil
Nope

Not really, no

i will go speak to the man

Updated 2 days ago, no issues
pseudo rivet
Have you searched for the problem online?
wary cove
Nope so far
main delta
System recovery doesn't work, startup repair also doesn't work, i tried command prompt but no luck.
Now i have to reinstall fricking Windows, and all my stalker and metro games are on c disk
And I've just started anomaly, like one week ago. Everything will be deleted
I'm so pissed, what a stupid day
finite dragon
||you are strelok||
@tired anvil does that mean that i will drink both bottles of vodka alone
pseudo rivet
tired anvil
Yep
finite dragon
more for me
tired anvil
I am honestly lowkey surprised that you didn't get the hint earlier with some accidental spoilers lol
pseudo rivet
Dood
What if
Otter actually survive an u bcom the legend that is Otter in Sdalger 2!!!!!!
tired anvil
Oh yeah funny enough I thought about him the other day, but I pretty much don't remember anything about him
pseudo rivet
Same
Well
Otter was one of Strelok's group that went to the Brain Scorcher and never returned
tired anvil
Thought it was only rumors about him being in Strelok's group
pseudo rivet

pseudo rivet
It's pretty rare to get, actually
pseudo rivet
I don't remember everything, but it was talking about them waiting for a shipment to come within a week
The ganja thing is in SoC or CS iirc
CS
Cool dude
Absolute broski
Even gives you high-fives
still ridge
uncle yar is a homie
tbh the abandoned village segment with him is kinda contradictory
Zombies aren’t openly hostile, yar says they’re passive or something
still ridge
Cuz he’s freedom?
pseudo rivet
Oh damn
That's true
Cuz he’s freedom?
Other Freedomers still have issues with them
No, it's in the person
pseudo rivet
Very likely
still ridge
I suppose since the zone isn’t controlled by the ccon anymore in cop
pseudo rivet
Never was
At least, that's how I see it
Besides
Only thing C-Con was trying was to "contain the Zone"
still ridge
Yet keep everyone out
by creating most mutants, effectively turned the zone into what it is seen as by duty
pseudo rivet
That's where the Monolithians and the multiple Brain Scorchers are for
tired anvil
Duga 
pseudo rivet
by creating most mutants, effectively turned the zone into what it is seen as by duty
Doubt they're making them
still ridge
isn’t it stated most mutants are man made
still ridge
I’m fairly certain it was directly stated that they made most mutations
still ridge
Pseudogiants and pseudodogs I’m assuming
pseudo rivet
The chances of them being man-made are extremely, extremely high
But we've only got two confirmed reports
still ridge
Also bloodsuckers
pseudo rivet
Controllers and Burers
Both of them being criminals used by the Secret Service as lab rats
still ridge
Pseudogiants and pseudodogs have human DNA, that pretty much confirms they’re man made
still ridge
didn’t duty study pseudodogs and discover that they had human dna?
I remember reading that in game
Although there is a chance it was because of a mod, I don’t remember
I don’t play story mods though
pseudo rivet
Duty studied the anatomy of mutants, looking for more effective ways to kill them
That's all we really know about them studying mutants
pseudo rivet
Other than that, we know that they've found out about psi-experiments on animals, instructing them with simple commands
still ridge
See, duty is useful
pseudo rivet
Still, neat to know that both Duty and Freedom have researchers
still ridge
of course
they’re both civilized factions
bruh imagine bandit researchers
I wonder what they’d come up with lol
still ridge
yeah thats what I’m saying
pseudo rivet
Only thing they're really interested in is money
still ridge
Competent in terms of combat capability
pseudo rivet
Competent in organization and connections
I actually made a suggestion about it
So, the Bandits are basically letting their selves look like the law in the Zone, preventing people from getting hurt. People who do come into their territory pay taxes
still ridge
so Ecologists, Clear Sky, Military, Duty, and Freedom are the factions that have an interest in mutant biology
pseudo rivet
That money then gets put into better equipment
At least
Lore-wise
Which is what I would like to see
still ridge
I can’t see mercs being too involved in studying the zone
pseudo rivet
Bandits that don't necessarily look like the bad guys
pseudo rivet
Yeah
still ridge
Only factions that have “good” intentions are ecologists, duty (in principle), clear sky, and freedom
I believe
tired anvil
Monolith just wanna defend
pseudo rivet
Monolith just wanna protecc
still ridge
when it comes down to it though, monolith won’t hesitate to kill you for anything
still ridge
Unlike other factions, where you’d usually be taken hostage or prisoner if you surrendered
I’d like to see passive or neutral mutants
still ridge
was that a concept
pseudo rivet
Basically guys who co-exist with the Zone
still ridge
So regular people
still ridge
Well that’s not really a mutation
pseudo rivet
Shaman isn't a mutant
still ridge
The only regular wildlife we see are crows
which I’d assume just fly into the zone, and aren’t created by it
still ridge
are they?
pseudo rivet
They are
still ridge
is there a PDA article or something
still ridge
Birds, squirrels, rats, things like those
pseudo rivet
Only one bird species survived in the Zone - crows. Other birds could not tolerate radiation and did not learn to avoid anomalies. In order not to perish in a maze of gravitational disturbances, military pilots use sophisticated detectors, but the secret of ravens will soon drive ornithologists and biologists crazy. There are many theories to explain this phenomenon; however, they all agree that the reason for the miracle is the developed brain of ravens, which managed to develop the most complex reflexes.
Nope
still ridge
irl animals adapted to the radiation, I don’t see why other small animals wouldn’t grow accustomed to it
being wiped out by anomalies is one thing
they also wouldn’t have issues running from common predators like blind dogs and pseudodogs
Pseudodogs I can see hunting things to extinction actually
still ridge
Anyways, in terms of cut mutants I think cats wouldn’t be hostile
On the topic of manmade mutants wouldn’t fractures and karliks count?
pseudo rivet
Cut-content isn't Canon when it's not Canon
still ridge
Iirc originally fractures were supposed to be psychic mutants
tired anvil
Yes
still ridge
@pseudo rivet I’d argue otherwise
pseudo rivet
If it's not Canon, it's not Canon
Nothing to argue there
YO GUYS

It feels like somewhere to hide in the zone.

Why do the games focus on the south of the CNPP?
Shouldn't the zone be a radius?

It should be

40 million medkits?
Haha, nice one, but I don't believe you; X-ray would crash

Good luck.

I thought he was exaggerating it to be million

That exoskeleton is so useless... Walk in an anomaly or two... And it´s gone... And another 30 000 down the drain.
Oh wait, maybe that exoskeleton is a bloodsucker in disguise. Only that instead of blood, it sucks out of me.
finite dragon
Yes.
native ibex
You bring bubble head suit for artifact hunting
finite dragon
any tips on how to deal with ghost in x16?
native ibex
Oh, the guy with the documents
finite dragon
yes
native ibex
And the controller trap
still ridge
Just lean @finite dragon
lean and shoot the controller
Also >PSY gun in design document
could you imagine
native ibex
I could imagine that it would be lame
still ridge
yes obviously
native ibex
We can't have imagination in this very serious and gritty IP.
Bullets only.
still ridge
Gauss gun doesn’t shoot bullets...
native ibex
Might as well
still ridge
it shoots projectiles but they aren’t bullets
native ibex
It's purpose classifies it as a bullet to me
finite dragon
aight. should i buy seva suit for 45k or ssp-99m for 90k?
still ridge
Seva
pseudo rivet
Don't you already have an SSP-99M?
finite dragon
already have it
pseudo rivet
Giving it to him will allow you to get the SPP-99M
finite dragon
ssp-99m > ghosts suit?
finite dragon
aight
finite dragon
aight got myself the s14, seva and some 9x39mm pab-9 rounds for 90k
id say thats a good deal
native ibex
@still ridge Arrows do not fly from a barrel
hazy raven
It shoots lasers or something similar. 🤔
hazy raven
Why it uses baterry as ammo then? 🤔
still ridge
To propel the projectiles
hazy raven
Then where the gun takes the projectiles though? Perpetum mobile? 🤔
still ridge
the projectiles are in the magazine alongside the battery
hazy raven
From wiki "Batteries that use a capsulated fragment of the Flash artifact as their power source. Manufactured using hi-tech equipment.".
still ridge
A coilgun, also known as a Gauss rifle is a type of mass driver consisting of one or more coils used as electromagnets in the configuration of a linear motor that accelerate a ferromagnetic or conducting projectile to high velocity.
in simpler terms, the projectile is propelled electromagnetically @hazy raven
pseudo rivet
Also, as stated by Cardan, they never managed to get enough speed for the Gauss Rifle. Seems like it got fixed with using a Flash to power it
native ibex
Can a flash power my GameBoy Advanced?
native ibex
Gameboy Advance would drain a flash in 3 hours or less
Now for the real questions
Can the Monolith inform me as to why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
still ridge
@pseudo rivet they were probably experimenting with various artifacts within the Gauss rifle
wait.. I might be wrong, the experiments at Jupiter plant with the Gauss gun were before the second disaster
I forget if that’s the case
hidden cape
What's the difference between bullet and projectile?
Not particularly important, I just want to hear
native ibex
All bullets are projectiles, not all projectiles are bullets
Just as well, almost anything, if not everything can be a projectile
Maybe not gases.
It does need to be a solid.
But a glob of liquid can be a projectile too...
still ridge
if you throw a rock, it is a projectile
hidden cape
I meant in relation to mass drivers and the gauss rifle
still ridge
A bullet is launched via gunpowder in the cartridge
The Gauss gun’s projectiles have no cartridge, no gunpowder, and thus, no bullet
@hidden cape
hidden cape
Fair point. Would you concede that a slug is being fired? More precise terminology than a projectile.
still ridge
I suppose depending on how you view a slug
normally slugs are bullets
but the slug itself is not a bullet, at least in a Gauss gun
So yes, you could say that it fires slugs
finite dragon
finally unlocked the CS-1 suit
pseudo rivet
Nice
finite dragon
now i need rubles
pseudo rivet
Great suit
Oh, that should be easy enough
Just loot enough corpses, take jobs and find artifacts
finite dragon
also for SoC imo the best suit is the one that duty gives, that costs 160k because it will help you so much in CNPP but for early game an SSP-99M or a SEVA are more than enough
for endgame i used the one that costs 160k and boy i was taking shots like a brick
pseudo rivet
The PSZ-9Md "Universal Protection" is just a reskin of the SEVA Suit
Nothing special
finite dragon
yeah that one is good too from duty
pseudo rivet
Oh, you meant the PSZ-9d?
finite dragon
give voronin a bulldog6 and you get one for free
i think it was a PSZ-9Md that you get from giving voronin a bulldog6*
finite dragon
yea but i beat my own faction for equipment because i'm a standardless dork
pseudo rivet
Sounds wack
finite dragon
if the reward is big and i have bullets then i will do it
pseudo rivet
Well, it's not really a big reward or anything
finite dragon
because who doesn't love beating a bunch of weed smokers while beating a bunch of ooga chakas on a little bit of mouth-running black suited dorks
well it's worth it, saves like 45k
finite dragon
oh
well i didn't beat the entire camp
the irony is that i killed the guy who was guarding the door with a knife and i got in lol
and none noticed, while in duty base if you kill someone and nobody sees the siren goes WEEWOOWEEWOO
pseudo rivet
You could get a SEVA Suit in the Wild Territory or an SSP-99M at Yantar
Which is also easier
finite dragon
tbh just keep going with the flow of the lore and collect any artifacts you find
save them all up till you meet Sakharov in yantar bunker and sell the ones you don't need to him
i recommend to keep two Flash artifacts and three anti-rad ones because in CNPP you will get beaten by radiation harder than those ooga chakas
buy the SSP-99M and it will help you till you get to the part before CNPP then buy the 160k suit and please keep your rubles below 50k
finite dragon
the SSP-99M is the green one that Kruglov has right?
pseudo rivet
Right
finite dragon
also ghost's vest costs like 8k
pseudo rivet
There's a quest for his suit
finite dragon
the SSP-99M costs 90k
pseudo rivet
Give Ghost's Suit to Sakharov and he'll give you an SSP-99M
finite dragon
ooh
i will reconsider replaying the game because i effed up the story and i can't meet guide lol
but hey at least i got access to all five bad endings
pseudo rivet
finite dragon
SoC is beautiful
also for the love of god keep your Rubles below 50k and don't accept any offer that sells gauss for 800 rubles
pseudo rivet
I never trusted him
finite dragon
i was like if you have the rubles then why don't you take it
pseudo rivet
Good thing though, because I read what happens from others
finite dragon
but i gave it a shot either ways
in CS i have an AK
should i sell it or keep it? because i'm not a fan of medium caliber stuff lol
pseudo rivet
Keep it
And don't fire it until you get ammo
I do suggest you to upgrade it to use scopes, though
finite dragon
i have 210 bullets for it, a Chaser 13 with 250 ish shells and a VSS that is broken as heck with no ammo
pseudo rivet
Yeah, keep the AKM-74/2
Chaser kinda wack and the VSS too
Especially the ammo of the Vintar BC
It's heavy and extremely rare
I'd actually suggest you to get something like the SGI-5k
That weapon is very solid
Just gotta upgrade it for sniper fire
soft shadow
9x39 is strong but too much bullet drop
glacial quartz
Uhm guys, is stalker 2 gonna work on having zombified stalkers too? And all factions?
soft shadow
perhaps
pseudo rivet
Officially, that's NDA
soft shadow
nice
glacial quartz
It would be really cool, if they make zombified units stalker may low key become a zombie game too with unreal engine
soft shadow
the amount of faction should not change for stalker 2
pseudo rivet
Like, there's things like Clear Sky, Last Day, Interception
I doubt we'll see them all in S.T.2
soft shadow
yea
pseudo rivet
Maybe they'll return CS for fan service
glacial quartz
To be honest, I just cannot wait for the day to see each faction in HD uniforms representing their own clans...
pseudo rivet
Yeah, I'd love to see the models
glacial quartz
It feels like it's not real
finite dragon
i just scoped my AK
pseudo rivet
Nice
finite dragon
it's bad i can't equip two primary weapons at once
soft shadow
we know what we all want for stalker 2, RTX Sidorovich
glacial quartz
I know stalker 2 will eventually come out but I just cannot wait for that moment. Every faction going by their daily routines in the zone and more real than ever
soft shadow
you can actually
finite dragon
cs?
pseudo rivet
Nope, you can't
soft shadow
oh CS, no
finite dragon
you gotta equip one and switch
pseudo rivet
Besides, you can't "equip" two of them
finite dragon
in SoC in CNPP i was using my hands pretty fast to switch weapons in my bag lol
finite dragon
Sniper, Tundra, FAST FAST
pseudo rivet
soft shadow
Stalker 2 uses A-life 2.0 so I think is gonna be more epic
finite dragon
yugoSLAVia
glacial quartz
They're gonna use the vanilla AI behavior right?
pseudo rivet
A-life 2.0
glacial quartz
Like unscripted roaming of npc or stalkers
pseudo rivet
¯_(ツ)_/¯

none can beat americans tho https://youtu.be/Ti8rRTQOgZA?t=62

Man can't 2020 already be over and for new years eve we get a stalker 2 release
Its already August and I feel like I am still in February
pseudo rivet
Yeah, I'd use that Makarov for sure
But dual wielding two Makarovs?
Damn
Sounds OP
wary cove
Gauss makarovs
still ridge
pseudogiants will think twice about attacking you

PMm Gang
finite dragon
dual wield PMm tho?

Is it possible for future modders to bring models from anomaly alike mods to stalker 2 version?
wary cove
glacial quartz
That would be so cool
pseudo rivet
Very likely
I mean, have you heard of Ivan Source's project?
He's making SoC in UE4
still ridge
Cursed
glacial quartz
Thinking of how modding has been such a relevant part of Stalker series since 2007 just makes me wonder how much this new game is needed to proceed perfecting the community
pseudo rivet
Not everything of it is portable, but loads of stuff are
still ridge
what about weapons
pseudo rivet
He's using some weapon mod
