[cold flame]

We sell them to the researchers

[pseudo rivet]

And traders

Besides, that about Researchers is just a rumor

[cold flame]

All factions have their flaws

[pseudo rivet]

Correct

And Duty is the most flawed out of them all

[cold flame]

You damn meddling freedom members

Ecologists are the only faction that is mostly innocent as far as i remember

[pseudo rivet]

Them or Shamans

Then again, Shamans aren't exactly a faction, more like a category of Stalkers

[tired anvil]

Just like diggers

[pseudo rivet]

Diggers also nice

Still, not the most innocent

[cold flame]

Well the main goal of the ecologists themselves is to find useful information to use for scientific research like medicine, like in CoP

[tired anvil]

Their concept is interesting

(Diggers that is)

[pseudo rivet]

Same with Freedom

[cold flame]

Government sure will use that research for other stuff but eh

Can‘t trust Clear Sky after they were responsible for the e-consciousness

[pseudo rivet]

[cold flame]

Not all of them i know

[tired anvil]

Clear Sky also gone

[pseudo rivet]

Can't trust them for something they've defected from

Wack

[cold flame]

They still did start it

[pseudo rivet]

So?

[tired anvil]

Monolith shot anyone on sight but Strider cool

[pseudo rivet]

[cold flame]

They were more like cleaning up their mess

Or trying to

[pseudo rivet]

More like trying to co-exist with the Zone

[tired anvil]

Well, that's a redeeming factor

[pseudo rivet]

Just like Freedom

[cold flame]

Freedom is tolerating bandits though

[pseudo rivet]

They aren't

[cold flame]

They sure are neutral in the beginning

[pseudo rivet]

Only reason they appear to be Neutral in CS is because you're a Merc

Most of the Freedomers are hostile with Bandits, due to them previously having been Free Stalkers

[cold flame]

Will still side with Duty to clean the Zone

[pseudo rivet]

Just to get more mutants sent at you

[cold flame]

Even if our leader died hopelessly in a bubble

[tired anvil]

But you don't clean the Zone

[pseudo rivet]

That was well-deserved karma

[cold flame]

Well yes and no

He cut himself off from the government who basically made them do suicide missions, which sadly sealed his fate

[pseudo rivet]

He could've returned and not doom his own comrades

[cold flame]

Maybe he would have lived, maybe not

The Zone is dangerous

[tired anvil]

He literally shot himself

Maybe not do that

[pseudo rivet]

For those who see it as a threat

[tired anvil]

Shaman Gang

[cold flame]

Well either die by trusty pmm or die from starvation

[pseudo rivet]

Shaman Gang

Or leave the Zone

[tired anvil]

Yeah but then you get returned in a canned game and have visions for 10 years

[cold flame]

Or you can join the renegades as a throw-away faction

[pseudo rivet]

Dang

That's cold

[cold flame]

But its true

[pseudo rivet]

Meh, kinda

Their ideology is still different from that of a Bandit

But yeah, underutilized

[cold flame]

Anyway, i prefer a ceasefire at yanov than the overtaking of the hq‘s

[finite dragon]

i hope stalker 2 is still good

[cold flame]

Strider faction in S2

[thin pasture]

Duty is here!!

[finite dragon]

Wheeze

[hazy raven]

Let´s hope that Dutiers will now finally survive against Freedom and mutants...

[finite dragon]

You know the usual. They get owned by the zone and they get treated the same way freedom did to hip

[pseudo rivet]

Imagine that

Illusions

In the Zone

Dang

That's a good one

[runic rapids]

Acid rain

[wary cove]

Strider faction in S2
May devs hear you 🤞

[thin pasture]

👋

Another day to clean the zone an kill some freedom guys

😏

[glacial quartz]

Hello dear stalkers

How's everyone doing this pretty sundown?

[pseudo rivet]

Just fine

And you?

[small dust]

Besides the trailer a few weeks ago, have we learned anything new?

[pseudo rivet]

Not really, no

[small dust]

Dang

[thin pasture]

Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits... None of them will stop Duty on its triumphant march towards saving the planet!

[gleaming dust]

no

[tired anvil]

Oh hey it's you again

[thin pasture]

Nobody will stop duty!

[tired anvil]

Monolith, Freedom, Military, Mutants

[open lintel]

itself..

[tired anvil]

You're right, Skull is a great example

[clever acorn]

Cheeki breeki comrades

[native ibex]

Да

[wild jasper]

i'm new to stalker, what are all of the factions like

[tired anvil]

Welcome

[wild jasper]

thank you

[pseudo rivet]

: Bandits
Tax Stalkers for protection
: Renegades
Mug and kill for equipment
: Clear Sky
Co-exist with the Zone
: Mercenaries
Profit from out clients
: Free Stalkers
Profit from the Zone
: Freedom
Co-exist with the Zone, let everyone know what happens inside it and allow free access towards the Zone. Wants to advance mankind by studying the Zone
: Duty
The Zone is a disease and it should be destroyed. The Zone should also have rules and we'll be the law that upholds it
: Monolith
Defend the Monolith, an divine alien rock from outer space that crashed into the CNPP

[wild jasper]

ok

[finite dragon]

@pseudo rivet defend the rocc*

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah

I doubt he knows what the Monolith is

[finite dragon]

The coolest faction in the game it is

[tired anvil]

Or well any of the factions

[wild jasper]

ive heard of monolith

[tired anvil]

The coolest faction in the game it is
You should join them

[wild jasper]

all of them seem nice

[finite dragon]

@wild jasper they had ricardo milos with them pog

[tired anvil]

Not all of them are nice...

[pseudo rivet]

Not all of them are nice...

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

MY BOI RICARDO STRIDOS

[tired anvil]

Lmao

[finite dragon]

Monolith were basically cool guys but then they became bad of lore stuff

All they did was defend rocc and be cool to other people but now they hate everyone

[pseudo rivet]

"Bad"

[finite dragon]

@tired anvil how did strider break free?

[tired anvil]

C-Con shut off

[timber flame]

WOOHOOO! I just ran into my first Stalker crash!

[pseudo rivet]

Kek

[tired anvil]

Monolith became slightly weaker

[pseudo rivet]

C-Con

[finite dragon]

Oh

[pseudo rivet]

Total kek

[tired anvil]

Oh jfc

BS

Yeah nah 3h of sleep was def not enough

Brain Scorcher

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

Wonder what other bruh moments I'm going to commit today

[timber flame]

I just got my 1st stalker crash, how many times is it normally supposed to happen

[pseudo rivet]

That's not it, either

I just got my 1st stalker crash, how many times is it normally supposed to happen

Depends on the game

[tired anvil]

Honestly depends on person as well

You can complete it with 0

[timber flame]

Huh

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

Every copy is personalized

[timber flame]

👀

[pseudo rivet]

Almost feels like it is

[wild jasper]

i don't even play any games in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise, it just seems cool, also just waiting for stalker 2

[tired anvil]

Well, might as well try them out

[finite dragon]

Play the franchise

[pseudo rivet]

You should try to play them

[tired anvil]

Whilst waiting

[pseudo rivet]

They're pretty dang cool

[tired anvil]

Will certainly make the wait at least slightly shorter as well

[finite dragon]

SoC is great as heck

[pseudo rivet]

CS is great fo' sho'

[wild jasper]

They're pretty dang cool
@pseudo rivet yea but i only have a laptop and it's complete ass, idk if it can run stalker

[pseudo rivet]

You likely can

Very likely

[wild jasper]

i could try i guess

[pseudo rivet]

It's well worth it

Besides, you'll get a better insight on the lore

[tired anvil]

Not sure if you noticed, but the games came out in the 2000's, you can most likely run them with a laptop

[wild jasper]

Not sure if you noticed, but the games came out in the 2000's, you can most likely run them with a laptop
@tired anvil good point

when stalker 2 is a thing, idk what i'll do there
probably just die a lot and maybe give people medkits or something

[pseudo rivet]

That's part of the experience

[wild jasper]

ok

[tired anvil]

You die, you quickload

You continue

[pseudo rivet]

Or you avoid getting shot at

Kill them first

[wild jasper]

Or you avoid getting shot at
@pseudo rivet not happening

[pseudo rivet]

[wild jasper]

Kill them first
@pseudo rivet also not happening

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

Why's that?

[wild jasper]

Why's that?
@tired anvil well, through careful studies and the gathering of information, i have found out that i am garbage at shooters

[pseudo rivet]

SP?

Or MP

[wild jasper]

both

[pseudo rivet]

Meh, you should be fine

[wild jasper]

if you say so

[tired anvil]

Well

It might seem hard at first

[pseudo rivet]

It's all a matter of positioning, a steady aim and burst fire when you can't handle the recoil

[tired anvil]

But it's not hard to grasp

[wild jasper]

It's all a matter of positioning, a steady aim and burst fire when you can't handle the recoil
@pseudo rivet the thing is, i mostly play call of duty and maybe titanfall 2, and in both, recoil isn't a big thing, especially in the latter

[pseudo rivet]

Sounds MP to me

You should be fine

Just be sure to fire in burst of 3 or 5 when you can't handle the recoil

[wild jasper]

ok

so how does gunplay in something like call of pripyat work

[pseudo rivet]

Kinda easy, honestly

It depends on the weapon, though

Some weapons might have some high recoil, so you can then upgrade them to perform better

[tired anvil]

Titanfall you say

Yeah here's a big tip

[wild jasper]

Titanfall you say
@tired anvil ye

[tired anvil]

Don't run, jump and gun like in Titanfall

It will get you killed each time

[pseudo rivet]

Take cover, crouch and use Q and E to look around corners

[wild jasper]

Don't run, jump and gun like in Titanfall
@tired anvil i kind of assumed that based on what i've seen in stalker

[robust forge]

Stalker is a mobility shooter, yes

[tired anvil]

Also, you can run Titanfall, you will definitely be able to run stalker

[pseudo rivet]

If an enemy is in cover, throw a grenade to smoke him out

[wild jasper]

Also, you can run Titanfall, you will definitely be able to run stalker
@tired anvil i play titanfall on my xbox, not my crummy laptop

[pseudo rivet]

Still, I doubt it's going to be any issue

[wild jasper]

ok

[tired anvil]

Yeah

[wild jasper]

although i have a habit of hoarding ammo and health, and forgetting grenades and utility items

[tired anvil]

Don't care 60kg and you should be fine

[pseudo rivet]

That's no problem

[wild jasper]

ok

[pseudo rivet]

Just be sure not to grab too much stuff

[tired anvil]

Weight limit and stuff

[pseudo rivet]

You'll want to save some space for other loot

[wild jasper]

weight limit systems seem cool, never played a game with them before

[native ibex]

Just follow the Gajunas way and console command that carry weight into the realm of Skyrim

[pseudo rivet]

It's pretty neat, yeah

Just follow the Gajunas way and console command that carry weight into the realm of Skyrim

Amnesia

[wary cove]

Snipe enemies as much as possible
Also some missions can be done stealthily, no need to go Rambo everytime

[pseudo rivet]

Sounds pretty Freedom-esque

[native ibex]

Amnesia?
The Dark Descent?

[pseudo rivet]

Nope

[wild jasper]

Snipe enemies as much as possible
Also some missions can be done stealthily, no need to go Rambo everytime
@wary cove i can actually snipe really well, but it takes a long time for me to adjust my aim, and by that time i'm usually dead

[pseudo rivet]

AMNeSia

[tired anvil]

Person in the server

[pseudo rivet]

i can actually snipe really well, but it takes a long time for me to adjust my aim, and by that time i'm usually dead

Not in this game

So it's going to be alright

[native ibex]

Oops

[wild jasper]

Not in this game
@pseudo rivet cool

[native ibex]

Sorry, all staff are the same to me

[pseudo rivet]

[wild jasper]

aight gotta go now, thanks for the advice

[pseudo rivet]

Feel free to drop in anytime

If you need some tips or you want to know what game to play first, feel free to ask

[finite dragon]

Also @wild jasper dont use special ammo against mutants

[tired anvil]

Just knife them

[wary cove]

Regular enemy npc AI isn't that smart, you'll be able to snipe them just fine
Beware of scripted enemy snipers in some missions tho, they can kill you in one shot

[pseudo rivet]

Just PMm them

[finite dragon]

And always aim for the head because man. Bullets dont fly straight

[pseudo rivet]

Regular enemy npc AI isn't that smart, you'll be able to snipe them just fine
Beware of scripted enemy snipers in some missions tho, they can kill you in one shot

Still sounds like Freedom

[finite dragon]

All bullets in the game are lgbtq

[pseudo rivet]

Epic

[tired anvil]

Lmao

[native ibex]

What? Scripted enemy snipers can cut through exo?

[tired anvil]

Clever one

[pseudo rivet]

Just means that you have to aim at the chest

[tired anvil]

What? Scripted enemy snipers can cut through exo?
Gauss sniper basically can

[pseudo rivet]

More chance to hit

[wary cove]

Gauss ones

[finite dragon]

@pseudo rivet at close range head is better

[pseudo rivet]

Obviously

[finite dragon]

Tundra

[wary cove]

Good point, always aim at the heads

[pseudo rivet]

If you've got the time to aim, of course

[finite dragon]

Just keep your sights up and burst

[native ibex]

Shoot them in the crotch, they will later commit suicide for lack of fertility

[finite dragon]

Make sure u peek behind walls. Better chance to stay alive

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

Low crouching also helps

[finite dragon]

Combat in stalker is fun as heck ngl

[tired anvil]

Though psure that was mentioned already

[pseudo rivet]

Not really

[tired anvil]

Combat in stalker is fun as heck ngl
You should replay CS and do the faction wars

[pseudo rivet]

So yeah

[tired anvil]

Join Freedom or smth

Destroy Duty

[modern glen]

it sucks when your bullets don't hit anything but it's cool most of the time

[pseudo rivet]

Definitely

CS is great

Faction Wars is fun times

[wary cove]

Still sounds like Freedom
Uncle Yar taught me that

[tired anvil]

Good stuff

[finite dragon]

@tired anvil i took on the entire hospital. The construction site and a hell ton of bandits alone on master is that a challenge

[pseudo rivet]

Okay Dutyer

[modern glen]

i killed the dutyers at the agroprom roads and no one is coming to hold the point

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

@tired anvil i took on the entire hospital. The construction site and a hell ton of bandits alone on master is that a challenge
Nah that's the basic way to play stalker

[finite dragon]

They already die of bloodsuckers eventually

[pseudo rivet]

i killed the dutyers at the agroprom roads and no one is coming to hold the point

Just means you should kill even more of them

[tired anvil]

I love the Dutier getting flung into the sky by a Bloodsucker in CS

[pseudo rivet]

[modern glen]

so do i just need to keep killing the reinforcements until the squad decides to arrive

[tired anvil]

Yea

[pseudo rivet]

I'd say slaughter the Duty base

[tired anvil]

[modern glen]

i'll try that

[pseudo rivet]

Because killing reinforcements over and over again just won't help

[tired anvil]

Good stuff

[finite dragon]

Also keep a couple spare nades for your nade launcher. When u throw a nade you have to pull out ur gun and enemies will run to u and u probably wont do it in time and get shot

Tundra stronk

[tired anvil]

Sokolov made some good A-Life

[native ibex]

Nothing like some weapon mods to make the guns less 2003

[finite dragon]

Scoped knife

[pseudo rivet]

No clue why we've got a Duty sniper and a Tunder S14 wielding Freedomer here

Kinda wack, ngl

[finite dragon]

Because high calibers are godly

[tired anvil]

Scar a merc

[wary cove]

[finite dragon]

Slow as heck. But fatal

[pseudo rivet]

Just sounds backwards as heck

[still ridge]

Crimson be like

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

I B liek

[finite dragon]

If freedom had a gun over 5.56 it would be cool

[still ridge]

DOOTY BAD!!! Give r*ddit gold

[pseudo rivet]

Nah man

[finite dragon]

But noo all they use is nato stuff

[pseudo rivet]

At least they've got build-in scopes

[finite dragon]

Fair point

[still ridge]

Susat poo

[pseudo rivet]

Honestly though

Duty equipment?

Close range

[native ibex]

Just remember, all staff are Duty members

[pseudo rivet]

Freedom equipment?

[still ridge]

duty equipment is based

[pseudo rivet]

Long range

[finite dragon]

I mean they are both good

[still ridge]

Duty SVD tho

[pseudo rivet]

Duty no SVD that just total wackage

[still ridge]

and SVU

[finite dragon]

But yeah freedom has a better gun i think its called a G 27

[pseudo rivet]

Duty Vintar BC

GP37

[still ridge]

Vintar is like based

[finite dragon]

Yeah that one is godlike

[still ridge]

But the G36 is one of the best

I forget if the G36 is better than the F2000

[tired anvil]

Guys

[pseudo rivet]

Duty doesn't use them

[tired anvil]

Just go PMm Gang

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

Problem solved

[wary cove]

Is it?

[finite dragon]

@tired anvil we are speaking secondaries here

[pseudo rivet]

Wat

Primaries

[finite dragon]

[pseudo rivet]

Besides

[tired anvil]

They're all secondary to the PMm

[pseudo rivet]

The PMm is a primary

[finite dragon]

No PMm is primary.

[still ridge]

protecta gang

[pseudo rivet]

You're currently being wack

[still ridge]

Spas gang

[modern glen]

black kite gang

[pseudo rivet]

Doesn't know the difference between a primary and a secondary

Wackage

[still ridge]

VSS gang

[native ibex]

Why is PMm super meme?

[still ridge]

That’s an iconic one

[pseudo rivet]

Because it's not super meme

It's a legit strat

[tired anvil]

It's good

[finite dragon]

@pseudo rivet PMm is a primary though

[still ridge]

VSS gang

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

Obviously

[pseudo rivet]

The other pistols are secondaries

[wary cove]

F1 gang

[still ridge]

Skorpion in S2

[pseudo rivet]

Epic

Woah

Boi

[finite dragon]

I was lacking ammo in hospital and made my way out with a PMm in cs lol

[still ridge]

Primary AND secondary

[tired anvil]

Just give me Degtyarev's PMm again and I'll be happy

Or any PMm tbh

But double durability is nice

[still ridge]

oh yeah deg pmm

[pseudo rivet]

Just say Honorary PMm

Honorary PMm Gang

[still ridge]

Nah

[finite dragon]

PMm Gang

[still ridge]

Deggy PMm is iconic

[tired anvil]

Yeah it's honorary

[pseudo rivet]

Honorary PMm Gang

[still ridge]

Snag’s ak gang

[pseudo rivet]

Okay Misery player

[still ridge]

I’ve never played misery

[pseudo rivet]

[still ridge]

I don’t know what you’re talking about

[tired anvil]

Never played CS either

Well no

Never completed

[pseudo rivet]

Wat

[still ridge]

[pseudo rivet]

Sadness

[tired anvil]

One day Edillon

[still ridge]

he’s referring to me

Perhaps when I get enough pocket change from selling CS:GO cases

[tired anvil]

Then dropping your laptop again

[finite dragon]

Why is 7.62 hard to find in stalker lol

[tired anvil]

There's some hidden in a bridge

[pseudo rivet]

Serious question?

[tired anvil]

But you need grenades to get it out

[still ridge]

that was an exaggeration

I did break the keyboard though

[wary cove]

[tired anvil]

[still ridge]

the sentry broke my will to play the game

[finite dragon]

Would be cool if s2 has some 7.62x54 weapons lol

[still ridge]

why wouldn’t it

[pseudo rivet]

Nah

[tired anvil]

Wonder when GSC pinging us for the next sale

[still ridge]

The SVD is in the trailer @finite dragon

[tired anvil]

Has been a while

[finite dragon]

AK-15 Plz

[pseudo rivet]

Just keep that for the SVD, SVU, the RP-74 and the AKM-47/2 with some luck

[still ridge]

that’s 7.62x54

wait

[wary cove]

Owl sells them too

[pseudo rivet]

AK-15

Get real

Lmao

[finite dragon]

Wasnt it made in 2018

Or is that the AK-12?

[pseudo rivet]

Would they be sold on the black market?

No

[still ridge]

Like they’re most likely not even gonna add the AK-12

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

Oh well fair point

[still ridge]

Since it’s modern military equipment

I mean the AN-94 is fairly modern but h

[finite dragon]

Corrupt cops exist

But its understandable

[still ridge]

People really be suggesting the G11 though

Like what

[pseudo rivet]

Loads of gun weebs and mod bois

[still ridge]

G11 in the zone makes perfect sense

[pseudo rivet]

Especially bad when they make suggestions

[finite dragon]

Meanie

[still ridge]

Don’t you know? They were exported to Ukraine

the famous export G11

[tired anvil]

There's an American UAV in CoP, s2 should have plenty of Americans in it

[finite dragon]

The real question here is. Will stalker 2 be in unreal engine?

[pseudo rivet]

Bruh

[finite dragon]

Also will guns actually Shoot straight in s2

[pseudo rivet]

What do you think?

Lmao

[still ridge]

what

[finite dragon]

In cs soc and cop they shoot weird lol

[tired anvil]

The real question here is. Will stalker 2 be in unreal engine?
Yes

[still ridge]

no

[pseudo rivet]

Obvious

[still ridge]

X-ray 2.0

[tired anvil]

Got leaked in December

[finite dragon]

I dont know a lot of stuff so im asking lol

[pseudo rivet]

They already said it's going to be UE

[tired anvil]

Yeah dw about it

There was also an ARG going for 2 years

[still ridge]

Nah it’s gonna be on source engine

[tired anvil]

Source 2.0

[still ridge]

[pseudo rivet]

Wackage

[finite dragon]

The zone will be bigger in s2 right?

[pseudo rivet]

Obviously

[finite dragon]

Thats pretty cool.

[tired anvil]

We saw Duga in the trailer

So at least 1 new location already

[pseudo rivet]

You mean Brain Scorcher 2

[still ridge]

What if they modified the concept for the duty sentry and add it

[tired anvil]

I was about to write Big Brain Scorcher, so yes

[still ridge]

Crimson on suicide watch

[tired anvil]

Yo what if Duty collapses

[pseudo rivet]

Wat

That'd be nice

[still ridge]

duga brain scorcher, courtesy of gaj, crimson, and yours truly

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

Stalker 2. Sidor dies

[still ridge]

Sid walks into a vortex

[tired anvil]

His RU voice actor died 2 years ago

[pseudo rivet]

Neat

Not so neat

[finite dragon]

Rip

[unborn kayak]

Sid joins ccon

Damn

[still ridge]

[finite dragon]

Isnt it funny how freedom kicks duty butt every time they meet eachother

[still ridge]

can I like

Volunteer for the mod team

[pseudo rivet]

[still ridge]

@pseudo rivet @tired anvil
How does that work

[tired anvil]

I mean helpers exist

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

Sounds like you trynna escape a ban

[still ridge]

given that I have no strikes, I’m trustworthy

[pseudo rivet]

[still ridge]

gaj saw through my master plan

[unborn kayak]

@finite dragon except when you first enter army warehouses in soc lol

[finite dragon]

@unborn kayak skull got beaten lol

[tired anvil]

Nah, you're not enough of a ||degenerate|| to be with us

Spare yourself

[still ridge]

if you insist

[finite dragon]

Im a degenerate tho

[tired anvil]

[pseudo rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/furry-cute-gif-15649211

Not enough

Dang it

[still ridge]

yes but what’s your track record

[finite dragon]

I fetishized blood suckers and snorks yesterday

[tired anvil]

That gif is dead Crimson

[pseudo rivet]

I know

I'm sad

[tired anvil]

I fetishized blood suckers and snorks yesterday
Yeah you were talking about Snork feet and Sakharov yesterday lmao

[finite dragon]

Snork feet and blood sucker tentacles are the two most expensive mutant parts in soc

[tired anvil]

yes but what’s your track record
0 Strikes

[pseudo rivet]

https://media.tenor.com/images/03a014f934c1b7535f5802d1e3f9c23b/tenor.gif

[finite dragon]

And sakharov pays very good for them

[still ridge]

I have no strikes and I joined over a year ago

[finite dragon]

I wonder what research he does with those

[wary cove]

[tired anvil]

You know I am shocked that you have 0 strikes

2019 was wild for them

But same, we both joined when the server got launched

[still ridge]

I just follow the rules

[pseudo rivet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tired anvil]

Even the nicest people slip up

[still ridge]

that’s more than most of the people on this server

[tired anvil]

Crimson got 2 strikes in the past on accident because a bot hated him

[still ridge]

my boots have spikes

[pseudo rivet]

Totally biased

I was just trying to help GSC

[still ridge]

I will never slip up

[wary cove]

What happened

[still ridge]

?ban @still ridge

see I can’t even ban myself

[finite dragon]

I thought crimson wrote that for a minute ngl

[tired anvil]

I was trying to boost my ego at like 5Am today and I found a year old message of you saying “Yo the mod with the bandit pfp is actually cool. Think his name was Gajunas”

[still ridge]

I’m trustworthy

[pseudo rivet]

~ban @still ridge

[tired anvil]

And ngl that did help w the ego boost

[native ibex]

Feminine bloodsucker fetishization, you say

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

@native ibex stap

[still ridge]

Yeah gaj is my homie

[unborn kayak]

Hey we’re here to celebrate, not criticize

[still ridge]

we grew up together on the streets of Pripyat

[tired anvil]

Poked Snorks with sticks together

[still ridge]

Mugged rookies together

[finite dragon]

Thats pretty emotional

[native ibex]

What them tendrils do, uwu

[tired anvil]

You would be surprised how stupidly wholesome this server can become for no reason sometimes

Or the complete opposite honestly

[finite dragon]

Thats just cute

[native ibex]

It's wholesome all the time, gaj, but only when you're sleeping

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

Cute in a weird way

[still ridge]

Gaj is sleeping rn?

[tired anvil]

I don't think so

[pseudo rivet]

R u sure?

[still ridge]

No, you’re sleeping

[tired anvil]

Oh my bad, sorry

[still ridge]

yeah you sleeper

[pseudo rivet]

[still ridge]

[tired anvil]

[pseudo rivet]

In actuality, Gajunas is a Sleep Agent

I gave him a kill command

Watch this

"Wack"

[still ridge]

So uh

[pseudo rivet]

So uh

I said

"Wack"

[still ridge]

How do I become helper

[finite dragon]

You basically help people idk

[still ridge]

[finite dragon]

I think its up to gsc mods themselves to make you so?

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah I guess Gajunas just wack

[pseudo rivet]

Good

[finite dragon]

He is kinda cool

[pseudo rivet]

He's not defect

[still ridge]

Well I have the support of two of them

[tired anvil]

Sorry, I wanted to check out the VC for a moment

Was not that fun

[finite dragon]

@still ridge did u do holy run on master?

[tired anvil]

He broke his laptop over CS

[finite dragon]

Maybe they are not satisfied that you probably didnt

[still ridge]

unconditional support for edillon

[tired anvil]

He hasn't completed CS, which is both mine and Crimson's favourite game in the series. Definitely hurts the rep

One day..

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

You cant be a mod without doing the holy run thats no1 rule

[still ridge]

man you wanna be like that

I’m buying cs rn

[pseudo rivet]

Good

[tired anvil]

O

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

[wary cove]

Maybe they are not satisfied that you probably didnt
The rite of passage of stalker players

[finite dragon]

Tbh cs is very cool compared go SoC

[still ridge]

now I have unconditional support

[finite dragon]

But it doesnt give as much lore as one wants

[tired anvil]

Tbh imo ngl all 3 pretty cool 😳

[unborn kayak]

CS was lowkey great but I don’t think I can handle another playthru anytime soon

[tired anvil]

But it doesnt give as much lore as one wants
Tbh you lowkey rushed CS

Bet you didn't even find the cut mutant

You didn't venture into the space bubble either

All that good stuff

[pseudo rivet]

Sounds like a L2P issue

[tired anvil]

Sorta?

[finite dragon]

Completing it in two days isnt rushing. Also i got in the space bubble lol

[tired anvil]

Oh you did? My bad

[pseudo rivet]

Okay

If you didn't rush it

[still ridge]

get mindraped by the controller from across dark valley

[finite dragon]

Its ok kek

[pseudo rivet]

Let's proof it

[still ridge]

L2P issue

[wild jasper]

isn't it ironic that the stalker fandom is the least toxic

[tired anvil]

It's also full of false info

[still ridge]

uhhhh

[tired anvil]

CS-1 and CS-3 being prime examples for quite some time

CS-2

[pseudo rivet]

Lmao

CS-3b

[tired anvil]

Let's add smth that doesn't exist

That is a great idea

[finite dragon]

Lol

[tired anvil]

How did we get the name? Oh just thought of it

Legit 0 sources

Fandom can be useful sometimes but it's also such a mess

[pseudo rivet]

@finite dragon
Lore-wise, what special action happens when you "activate" an artifact

[still ridge]

CS-2a

[pseudo rivet]

CS-3b

[finite dragon]

Do u mean the compass here

[native ibex]

Imagine playing vanilla

[still ridge]

CS-10D

[pseudo rivet]

Nope

Just any artifact

[finite dragon]

Look i have no idea but i assume it radiates the hell out of its surroundings and makes anomalies lol

I think i read that somewhere lol

Idk

[pseudo rivet]

Correct

[native ibex]

I don't know if they're indigenous to Ukraine, but porcupine mutants, please

[pseudo rivet]

Still, you didn't get that from CS

[wild jasper]

what's with the weapons in stalker, it's in Ukraine, but there's a lot of western weapons like the g36 and sa80

[still ridge]

so uhh

[tired anvil]

what's with the weapons in stalker, it's in Ukraine, but there's a lot of western weapons like the g36 and sa80
Black market

[pseudo rivet]

what's with the weapons in stalker, it's in Ukraine, but there's a lot of western weapons like the g36 and sa80

Black market

[tired anvil]

[unborn kayak]

Excess stock and illegal imports

[pseudo rivet]

[wild jasper]

Black market
@pseudo rivet oh

[still ridge]

mercs have them

[finite dragon]

Plus the military are selling stuff

[pseudo rivet]

Either that or from dead UN researchers

[still ridge]

So they’re prolly imported by the mercs

[pseudo rivet]

[unborn kayak]

Mercs are supposed to be westerners anyways

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

Western Mercs

[tired anvil]

Can be yea

[unborn kayak]

Cowboys

[still ridge]

So uhhh

[pseudo rivet]

They're from places like Germany, France, etc.

[wild jasper]

stalker 7\10 needs moar kalashnikov

[tired anvil]

Give me stalker Zone 2008 edition

Before Duty and stuff

[unborn kayak]

But they wear SAS gear

[tired anvil]

Or 2005 and 2007

[pseudo rivet]

I thought you were against that

[still ridge]

yeah no thanks

[tired anvil]

I mean idk how good of a game it would be, but to see it would certainly be interesting

Also I'd like to know if Guide was the first stalker

[wary cove]

isn't it ironic that the stalker fandom is the least toxic

Unlike other fandoms there hasn't been silly ship wars or canceling problematic writers/artists as far as I remember

[tired anvil]

What fandom had that?

[still ridge]

STAKER SHIP WARS

[wild jasper]

Unlike other fandoms there hasn't been silly ship wars or canceling problematic writers/artists as far as I remember
yep

[tired anvil]

We got faction wars for a reason

[pseudo rivet]

Okay, guess Gaj supports my idea now

[still ridge]

skadovsk is my favorite ship

[unborn kayak]

Ship wars were replaced with faction wars

[pseudo rivet]

Unlike other fandoms there hasn't been silly ship wars or canceling problematic writers/artists as far as I remember

Star Wars

[wild jasper]

STAKER SHIP WARS
what have you just brought upon this cursed land

[pseudo rivet]

[still ridge]

scar x strelok

[wary cove]

These two things are the stem of 90% of the toxic fandom behavior

[modern glen]

tremor x grouse

[unborn kayak]

This is a dangerous path we’re going down lads

[tired anvil]

tremor x grouse

[wild jasper]

what have i done

[still ridge]

@wild jasper not me

[wild jasper]

this is getting out of hand

[pseudo rivet]

[still ridge]

Yar x Zombified stalker @tired anvil

[pseudo rivet]

Wackage

[wary cove]

Hahaha

[tired anvil]

Yar x Ashot comedy duo

[still ridge]

[tired anvil]

I'd go to a show

[modern glen]

same

[still ridge]

I want to sit down at a campfire and smoke a fatty with yar and ashot

[modern glen]

oh yeah

[wild jasper]

why does every stalker's kit have a guitar

[pseudo rivet]

[unborn kayak]

Then ditch everyone else and join freedom

[still ridge]

they gotta be jamming at campfires

[wild jasper]

Then ditch everyone else and join freedom
yee

[still ridge]

there isn’t much else to do

[wild jasper]

they gotta be jamming at campfires
good point

[still ridge]

Also nah, loner gang

[unborn kayak]

Learning to play them on guitar has been so much fun

[wild jasper]

does stalker 2 need nikonov an94

[still ridge]

It will probably have it since it’s in the ot

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, the AC-96/2 is just in the previous 3 games

(In-game name)

[wild jasper]

It will probably have it since it’s in the ot
@still ridge yeah, however, there could be weapon jamming, and the nikonov is an extremely complex firearm and the reliability issues could make it unuseable

[pseudo rivet]

There already is weapon jamming

[wild jasper]

There already is weapon jamming
@pseudo rivet oh

[tired anvil]

Just take it to a mechanic for a fix

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

Well except SoC but yeah

[still ridge]

Soc moment

[wild jasper]

how about hs vhs from belgium

[still ridge]

how about no fancy western weapons

[wild jasper]

how about no fancy western weapons
exactly

[still ridge]

Export weapons like G36 make sense

[pseudo rivet]

[tired anvil]

I'll do a PMm run exclusively on s2 then trash talk the gaming journalists that call the game too hard

[pseudo rivet]

Chad

[still ridge]

L2P issue

[wild jasper]

ak, smol ak, smoller ak, shotgun ak, big ak, and smg ak is all we need

[pseudo rivet]

[wild jasper]

and also incomprihensible technomancy ak

[tired anvil]

Exists

[pseudo rivet]

Wack

[wild jasper]

who here likes escape from tarkov

[still ridge]

AKM, AK-74, AKS-74U, Saiga-12, AK in 7.62x54, Vityaz SN

[pseudo rivet]

Okay

Yeah

That explains it

EfT

[wild jasper]

AKM, AK-74, AKS-74U, Saiga-12, AK in 7.62x54, Vityaz SN
@still ridge ye

[still ridge]

That’s roughly your list

[pseudo rivet]

Okay

So

Pro tip

[still ridge]

you ever just

[pseudo rivet]

EFT isn't STALKER

[still ridge]

^^^^^^^^

[pseudo rivet]

Just don't make STALKER tacticool and all's fine

[still ridge]

don’t make it too tacticool

[tired anvil]

Honestly I can deal with just a scope and a silencer

[wild jasper]

Just don't make STALKER tacticool and all's fine
@pseudo rivet some tacticool is fine, but we shouldn't go overboard

[pseudo rivet]

^

[still ridge]

There still needs to be attachments

[pseudo rivet]

Nono

[tired anvil]

Maybe the nade launcher too but that's about it for myself

[pseudo rivet]

Just scope, silencer and grenade launchers will be fine

[wild jasper]

gtg

[pseudo rivet]

Tacticool just wack

Alright

Cya later

[tired anvil]

some tacticool is fine, but we shouldn't go overboard
A lot of Tarkov related suggestions here are extremely tacticool

Bye

[still ridge]

scope, suppressor, nade launcher, and if you really wanna push it, foregrip

[pseudo rivet]

And extremely unepic

[still ridge]

personally I’d be fine with foregrips

but nothing more

[pseudo rivet]

Meh

[still ridge]

No laser sights, no flashlights, etc

[pseudo rivet]

I'd say that's pushing it

Lasers and flash is just wack

[still ridge]

I’d argue that foregrips are as far as you can go without getting tacticool

[tired anvil]

You got the headlamp

[still ridge]

^

[pseudo rivet]

Or, y'know, just use the same upgrade system as CoP and make those upgrades have a visual change

[still ridge]

like gunslinger?

[pseudo rivet]

Not sure

Wouldn't know

[still ridge]

gunslinger but without laser sights

[pseudo rivet]

X on it, though

[still ridge]

basically most upgrades add a visual change

[finite dragon]

Hello comrades!

[pseudo rivet]

Heya

[still ridge]

For example, on the VSS, stability upgrades would show a cheek rest and a foregrip

[pseudo rivet]

Sounds wack

[still ridge]

I think it’s good

that way there’s only 3 types of attachments

[finite dragon]

Anyone Monolith here?

[still ridge]

scopes, suppressors, and nade launchers

[wild jasper]

should things like muzzle devices and grips be a thing

[pseudo rivet]

Plenty

should things like muzzle devices and grips be a thing

IMO, no

[still ridge]

Everything else gets added via upgrades

[wild jasper]

IMO, no
yeah i see why

[still ridge]

^only if implemented like in gunslinger

@pseudo rivet want a vid

[pseudo rivet]

Sure, I'd love that

[wild jasper]

i think the only complex mod should be removing the dust cover on an ak

[still ridge]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DyTUNn3u1E8 @pseudo rivet

[pseudo rivet]

Thank you

Let's see

Been a while since I saw this

[wild jasper]

its cool

[pseudo rivet]

Oh

Custom upgrades

Seems wack

[still ridge]

Skip to 3:30 @pseudo rivet

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, I'm there

[tired anvil]

Ah dang, I expected Tarkov footage where someone's claiming it to be S2

[wild jasper]

@pseudo rivet should attachments have downsides (i.e. slower aiming, increased weight, etc.)

[pseudo rivet]

Honestly, I'd say just use STALKER's attachment system

[still ridge]

see the cheekrest and extended mag?

[pseudo rivet]

It automatically increases your weight for obvious reasons

[wild jasper]

Honestly, I'd say just use STALKER's attachment system
ok

[still ridge]

those kinds of visual changes are good

[pseudo rivet]

And leave other stuff for upgrades

Which have no downsides

[still ridge]

So crimson, what did you think

[wild jasper]

big mags should make gun slower

[finite dragon]

Wym lol

[native ibex]

No, give me laser sights and range finders and bipods and all kinds of stuff

[still ridge]

only if you’re using a drum or something, using a mag with 10 extra rounds isn’t gonna make a difference

[pseudo rivet]

Too busy to watch

Continuing now

[finite dragon]

Its the same magazine but its bigger it just makes the gun heavier and it lowers recoil

[native ibex]

Or just let the modders do the gun addons

[pseudo rivet]

Okay

So

Sure, this is neat

[finite dragon]

Sacrifice weight to gain more recoil control and ammo @wild jasper

[native ibex]

EJ hangs weights off gun barrels to further reduce recoil

[pseudo rivet]

But imagine this with the upgrades of CoP, with their appearance matching the descriptions of the upgrades

[wild jasper]

Sacrifice weight to gain more recoil control and ammo @wild jasper
@finite dragon ye

[finite dragon]

Doesnt make gun slower tho

[pseudo rivet]

Only real attachment I would like added would be bayonets

[wild jasper]

i think there should be more attachments, but not to the extent to where it changes the overall appearance of the base gun @pseudo rivet

[pseudo rivet]

That's impossible

[finite dragon]

@pseudo rivet that would be basically useless except for blind dogs

[still ridge]

...what?

[pseudo rivet]

Basically

[still ridge]

No it would be useful for flesh and boars and stuff

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah

[autumn temple]

@pseudo rivet That's present in the Gunslinger mod for CoP in case you don't know

[pseudo rivet]

Great for mutant hunters

[still ridge]

I think he knows

[finite dragon]

Boars and fleshes would butthead the hell out of u before u stab them lol

[pseudo rivet]

I didn't know, but I play Vanilla all the time

[still ridge]

L2P issue @finite dragon

[autumn temple]

Gunslinger mod is Vanilla but with the gunplay/guns we always wanted for CoP

[still ridge]

I can stab them just fine

Yeah crimson you should check it out

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, just jump aside or just weaken them with your weapon, then stab them

[finite dragon]

Man i dealt with two chimeras at the same location with a SPSA and a horrible 5.56 gun lol

[pseudo rivet]

I'm planning to check it out in the future

[still ridge]

That’s the strat

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

I think im not that horrible but im somewhat decent at it

[still ridge]

Sidestep the boar that rushed you and stab it in the side

Also hamsters

[tired anvil]

Hit m with the Nimble two step

[still ridge]

stab em before they get close to you

[finite dragon]

Oh wait i forgot how weak boars are on the sides

[wild jasper]

@pseudo rivet yo should there be specific ammo pickups (7.62x39, 7.62x54, 5.56x45) or generalized (7.62, 5.56) or basic (light, medium, heavy)

[autumn temple]

Well worth the check, probably the best mod out there right after Anomaly @pseudo rivet

[still ridge]

LOL the classic @tired anvil

Nimble is probably nuts at evasion

runs faster than chimeras

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

You can outrun a chimera if it isnt a playful kitty and likes to jump a lot lol

Run in squares. Win

[still ridge]

Nimble deserves to be a major character

[wild jasper]

how many shotgun shell types should there be

[still ridge]

And not just a special weapons trader

[tired anvil]

Don't care, give Strider

[still ridge]

2 @wild jasper

[pseudo rivet]

yo should there be specific ammo pickups (7.62x39, 7.62x54, 5.56x45) or generalized (7.62, 5.56) or basic (light, medium, heavy)

Just keep STALKER's ammo system

No need for wackage

[wild jasper]

2 @wild jasper
@still ridge regular and slug?

[still ridge]

^

Yeah buckshot and slug

[pseudo rivet]

how many shotgun shell types should there be

2

[wild jasper]

Just keep STALKER's ammo system
@pseudo rivet what is stalker's ammo system

Yeah buckshot and slug
@still ridge ok

[still ridge]

regular and AP

[pseudo rivet]

Basically

[wild jasper]

dragon's breath is kind of pointless

[still ridge]

I think there’s hollow point if I’m not mistaken

For certain pistols

Yeah 45 hydroshock

[pseudo rivet]

Dragon's Breath is literally retarded and everyone who wants that in STALKER is a total wacko

[still ridge]

Watch yo profanity

unless I can use that word without any trouble, I’m not complaining

[wild jasper]

For certain pistols
@still ridge a generation zero type system would work, for example hollow point is better for damage, but not armor. fmj is the opposite

[pseudo rivet]

Problem is, everyone's wearing armor

[tired anvil]

unless I can use that word without any trouble, I’m not complaining
You can say retard as long as it's not directed at someone for the most part

[pseudo rivet]

[still ridge]

yooooo

[wild jasper]

Problem is, everyone's wearing armor
@pseudo rivet well then just buff hollow points

[pseudo rivet]

Nah

No hollow points

[still ridge]

You know Sid?

[pseudo rivet]

Just regular or AP

[still ridge]

He’s a retard

[wild jasper]

No hollow points
@pseudo rivet ok so just normal and fmj

[still ridge]

This feels good

[wild jasper]

Just regular or AP
@pseudo rivet ok

[pseudo rivet]

FMJ is normal in STALKER, actually

[still ridge]

^

[pseudo rivet]

So, FMJ and AP

[wild jasper]

oh

[tired anvil]

You should really give the games a go already

[still ridge]

I’d say hollow point and regular for pistols @pseudo rivet

No need for AP pistol ammo

because at that point why not just use a bigger gun

[wild jasper]

what about that fancy polymer casing stuff

[still ridge]

no

[wild jasper]

why

[pseudo rivet]

9x18 has +P+, 9x19 has JHP

[wild jasper]

aight

[finite dragon]

@still ridge stop talking like that about my boy sid

[pseudo rivet]

because at that point why not just use a bigger gun

Depends on the ammo quantity and rarity of the game

[finite dragon]

The man saved your life. Be grateful

[still ridge]

true

[tired anvil]

Well

[still ridge]

There should be no issue finding 5.45 in the zone

[tired anvil]

Technically the savior did

[wild jasper]

Depends on the ammo quantity of the game
@pseudo rivet i think that ammo should be sparse, but not to an insane degree

[tired anvil]

But yeah I guess Sid didn't just put you in a dumpster or whatever

[finite dragon]

Yea

[pseudo rivet]

Then you're at the right place, I'd say

[still ridge]

5.45, 9x19 and 9x18 are gonna be the most common rounds in the game probably

[finite dragon]

Also is it me or soviet guns in cop dont have supressors?

[thin pasture]

[tired anvil]

AK does

[still ridge]

They do

[pseudo rivet]

Nope

That's CS, Gaj

[wild jasper]

5.45, 9x19 and 9x18 are gonna be the most common rounds in the game probably
@still ridge what about 7.62x39

[finite dragon]

I cant find a supressor for AKs lol

[tired anvil]

Oh my bad then

I'm horrible with guns

[pseudo rivet]

Also is it me or soviet guns in cop dont have supressors?

SA Avalanche and the Tunder S14

[timber flame]

I just finished the last arena battle

[still ridge]

There’s no 7.62x39

[pseudo rivet]

Nice

[timber flame]

It was underwhelming

[wild jasper]

There’s no 7.62x39
@still ridge what why

[still ridge]

Since there’s no AKM or AK-47

[wild jasper]

Since there’s no AKM or AK-47
@still ridge why no akm

[still ridge]

the ak in stalker is the AK-74

[pseudo rivet]

Too outdated and weird caliber

[still ridge]

and variants

[finite dragon]

Isnt AK-47 7.62x54?

[wild jasper]

the ak in stalker is the AK-74
@still ridge why doesn't stalker have 7.62 i'm confused

[pseudo rivet]

AKM-47/2

@still ridge why doesn't stalker have 7.62 i'm confused

7.62x54

[finite dragon]

Isnt 39 a pistol caliber

[still ridge]

It doesn’t have 7.62x39

no it’s intermediate

[wild jasper]

Isnt AK-47 7.62x54?
@finite dragon no, 7.62x54 is mk 17 mod 0 which i'm not sure is even in stalker

[still ridge]

In soc there’s a 7.62x54 AK iirc

[wild jasper]

It doesn’t have 7.62x39
@still ridge why doesn't stalker have 7.62 weapons i thought it did

[pseudo rivet]

In soc there’s a 7.62x54 AK iirc

CS

It's the AKM-47/2

[still ridge]

wack

[pseudo rivet]

why doesn't stalker have 7.62 weapons i thought it did

Sniper rifles and the PKM

[wild jasper]

Sniper rifles and the PKM
@pseudo rivet i meant the x39 variety

[still ridge]

Because I don’t think gsc felt the need to have two types of AK

[pseudo rivet]

Besides, it's caliber is wack and the weapons are old

[wild jasper]

Besides, it's caliber is wack and the weapons are old
@pseudo rivet i mean good point

[pseudo rivet]

Besides that, there's a reason why they switched to 5.45 instead of 7.62
