Strelok was bwshed for a short period. Strider was bwshed for y e a r s
@finite dragon i dont think so. he just got amnisia

nimble saddle
strider acually served in the monolith
grand pendant
Strider lost years of his life, not his monolith life, life in general
and original Monolith members got brainwashed in 2011, CoP is in 2012
finite dragon
Anyways. Im going to head out
nimble saddle
Anyways. Im going to head out
@finite dragon wait
grand pendant
alright, good bye
finite dragon
Yes?
nimble saddle
think about our marrige ok? if you changed your mind dm me.
finite dragon
You are a creep 
nimble saddle
You are a creep
@finite dragon i am a stalker
grand pendant
indeed, better ignore it or block 
nimble saddle
k ill stop simping
nimble saddle
impossible
@grand pendant ur right. hard to find a girl in the zone.
which leads to the next question. will S2 have women?
finite dragon
probably
I thought that they couldn’t have them in stalker 1 because they weren’t bothered to model them or couldn’t
grand pendant
i wouldn't be surprised, just hope to get an actual explanation
nimble saddle
maybe the zone doesnt like women
finite dragon
I don’t think there should be as many women as men in stalker but there should be some
grand pendant
I thought that they couldn’t have them in stalker 1 because they weren’t bothered to model them or couldn’t
Zone isn't a place for women, many issues stopping them. Artifacts with properties that only affect women by dumbing them. Rapists, bandits, and general explanation is that women don't like it there
nimble saddle
yes exactly
finite dragon
I’m sure there would be some though
nimble saddle
unless its a tough women.
finite dragon
Of course there wouldn’t be as many
nimble saddle
i would absalutly hate it if the protaganist is actually a women
grand pendant
In CS dialogues mention that women in general don't like the Zone, so this poor soul starts seeing mutants in a weird way
Leska tried to get in, got stopped by international guards. Only other mention of a woman in stalker is a folklore story. But it most likely written by a crazy stalker and he didn't actually see her or anything
nimble saddle
who is leska
finite dragon
I’m seriously doubt there would be 0 women in the zone
nimble saddle
there must be. but i will hate it if the protaganist is a woman in S2
Leska is Orest's girlfriend
@grand pendant wait what?!
finite dragon
I don’t know how I would feel about that
grand pendant
I’m seriously doubt there would be 0 women in the zone
explanation is that women hate it there, but even if there is, i wouldn't want to be involved with them. Legion in stalker 2 would be the new faction
nimble saddle
it says leska is captured by military
grand pendant
Leska was a friend of Orest rather than girlfriend. Orest came to the Zone looking for her
nimble saddle
yea
grand pendant
yes, she never got into the Zone. That is what i said
stopped rather than captured
nimble saddle
oh ok
finite dragon
helo
nimble saddle
omg hi
finite dragon
how do i mods
nimble saddle
so u make blins. and dont know mods?
finite dragon
yes
nimble saddle
wait you mean download mods? or MAKE THEM?
finite dragon
i want to download
finite dragon
to game call of pripyat
wary cove
i would absalutly hate it if the protaganist is actually a women
why not
Imagine playing as a strong babushka who fights her way back to her childhood home
In the process, she discovers secret info of whatever and now mercs or marked agents are after her
hybrid seal
i want to download
@finite dragon most of the time it's just download the files and then replace the corresponding stuff in the original game folder
nimble saddle
S2
finite dragon
ok i talked with him for a good hour now on DM's
i know everything i should now but thanks
hybrid seal
i would absalutly hate it if the protaganist is actually a women
@nimble saddle Misogynist
I mean, you're monolith after all so
open lintel
I wouldn't mind so long as there was some good aesthetic behind it. Good example would be AC syndicate, the capes on the female assassin were really cool
would also depend on if the main character would be voice acted. It would all depend on how well they get voiced :o
hybrid seal
Bruh you know, I'd prefer females just being not as common as males in the zone but not only being reduced to "assassins" and "traders"
mystic crow
Well, I wouldn't mind being able to create your own char 
mystic crow
Likewise
hybrid seal
That's not very stalkerish
wary cove
A friend was writing a fanfic about an all female faction. IIRC They were kidnapped by Bandits who forced them to work at their brothel. The women rebelled and escaped with the help of some dutyers and formed their own faction
open lintel
personally I don't think not having a premade character would not be stalkerish.
grand pendant
would be a generic FPS with no background, such as FC5
open lintel
yeah, FC5 kinda dropped the ball
tired anvil
Was New Daun or FC5 first
grand pendant
FC5
mystic crow
Fc5
grand pendant
New Dawn is FC5 after the nuke 
wooden mauve
Haha
grand pendant
so bad man, all characters personalities rewritten
open lintel
FC has it's own set of problems not related to creating your own character
grand pendant
but anyway, let's forget that trash
wooden mauve
Just played FC5
mystic crow
They weren't appealing, story wasn't appealing, nothing was.
hybrid seal
Bruh, I mean, females dont have to be necessarily that "special" as to have their own faction or being assigned to "special" jobs, why cant they just be like any other stalker but not as common? Lol
open lintel
^ no problem with that
but some would argue that females would be unlikely to inhabit the zone. which yeah, is pretty true
tired anvil
Mfw GSC is going to get trash talked for not having females ruling the whole Zone
grand pendant
well, explanation we have is that females hate the Zone. Said in CS
hybrid seal
For the same reason, why would males inhabit the zone?
open lintel
though to not see them at all would be unlikely in my personal opinion. from a realistic standpoint
tired anvil
well, explanation we have is that females hate the Zone. Said in CS
Orest, right?
grand pendant
nah, random garbage dialogue
tired anvil
Hm, thought Orest said smth about females as well
hybrid seal
There are always exceptions tho, you cant tell me every single female in ukrain or the world wouldnt wanna get in the zone
grand pendant
ofc not, i just said an example
tired anvil
Welp, Slyth just gave the example so yeah I guess
open lintel
I thought the reason females werent in the zone was due to the budget for stalker, rather then any sort of philosophical or lore based reasons
tired anvil
That too
open lintel
so, I imagine we will see them in some capacity in s2
hybrid seal
I get that
tired anvil
It's a mix of both, but they wanted females in the old s2
grand pendant
i mean, lore reason was probably a cheap explanation
tired anvil
Yeah
open lintel
now as to what capacity we see them, that's a good question I suppose
tired anvil
The official reason was because all dudes used the same model
open lintel
lol true
tired anvil
But they were supposed to happen in the old s2 when they got more money
mystic crow
You know let gsc decide lel
tired anvil
They decided 10 years ago and the company shut down 
hybrid seal
I'd give them a freedom playstyle, you know, having light armor but hard hitting guns
mystic crow
open lintel
kek
grand pendant
well, given how even men get raped in the Zone, be prepared for wicked situations if females are added
mystic crow
Wot raped?
tired anvil
Poker
hybrid seal
Who's poker lol
tired anvil
Example of a rapist in SoC
grand pendant
Maniac and rapist
tired anvil
Bandit dude with a condition that makes him forget absolutely everything
You could be his friend one minute and a second later he would try to shoot you dead
open lintel
media would have a field day im sure
mystic crow
Therapist?
open lintel
ffs
hybrid seal
I dont remember him at all
tired anvil
He's pretty minor
mystic crow
Neither do I
grand pendant
play more stalker 
hybrid seal
I played soc like 3 years ago I wouldnt remember lol
open lintel
would be nice if the media could kindly leave gaming alone.. some dreams will never come true 
grand pendant
play again
mystic crow
dark valley
I never go there kekw
grand pendant
you are forced to go there
open lintel
oh, thought you meant darkscape for a second
grand pendant
you probably just missed him
hybrid seal
Ohhhh
grand pendant
can find him in Agroprom as well iirc
hybrid seal
I remember I stumbled upon some lone bandit with a spas
But never cared to read his name and just looted him lmao
tired anvil
A lot of people miss Freeman like that as well
grand pendant
if he is in Agroprom he should be with Friar, but i am not sure about it
hybrid seal
A lot of people miss Freeman like that as well
@tired anvil that's the guy of the find the rifle mission right?
tired anvil
Yea
open lintel
more arena plz
hybrid seal
Carrying a unique shooter
grand pendant
Arena is based
hybrid seal
I love cats
tired anvil
grand pendant
hybrid seal
Good thing they were never added to stalker lol
open lintel
open lintel
about that
tired anvil
There's one in SoC and CS
grand pendant
i reckon we'll see them in s2, as ingame mutants
hybrid seal
I mean yeah, but not in the final release
tired anvil
No I mean final release
grand pendant
and rideable tark like Billy said 
tired anvil
You can go open CS and find it rn
hybrid seal
What
hybrid seal
I remember there was a cat statue in the agroprom
grand pendant
Inquisitor's museum in CS
grand pendant
yeah i got inb4'd
tired anvil
Can even see it in the Steam screenshots
hybrid seal
But you know, I meant finding one and having to kill them
tired anvil
Yeah sorry I had to go all AKsHuAllY there
hybrid seal
Lmao
tired anvil
They still exist in the files but do nothing
grand pendant
dw fun facts for stalker are always welcomed tbh
hybrid seal
When I played coc tho, I found some
grand pendant
you can restore them but they only have idle animations
hybrid seal
They were dumb so I didnt really need to kill them
tired anvil
Yeah, I want the say some other mutant does that but I'm not sure
Pretty sure SoC Burer attacks if spawned
hybrid seal
I saw one getting rekt by a gravitational anomaly
Pretty sure SoC Burer attacks if spawned
@tired anvil I hate those guys so much
tired anvil
I can't wait to see their angry faces in 4K in s2 lol
hybrid seal
Omg I'm playing gunslinger and have not reached the lab yet but I'm wondering how I'll kill the 3 burers without instant healing 😿
tired anvil
Got an RPG?
grand pendant
i'm dying to find files related to the total ammount of human experimentation results
hybrid seal
Got an RPG?
@tired anvil can get one easily yeah
i'm dying to find files related to the total ammount of human experimentation results
@grand pendant I missed that in SoC the pda had some kind of wiki on everything but in CoP it doesnt
Also no leveling up, you know, rookie-expert
grand pendant
yeah, sadly it has nothing related to my question
hope we get folklore, encyclopedia and levels in S2
hybrid seal
Oof lmao, yeah I meant that those pda wiki had info on the mutants
tired anvil
Folklore would be wonderful, especially if some lad like Forester is around in some tiny hut again
nimble saddle

tired anvil
There's still around 100 people that lived in the Zone before the explosion so a character like that could be nice

There's still around 100 people that lived in the Zone before the explosion so a character like that could be nice

I really liked the note stuff system in SoC
like you note you see and some interesting infos you read,
wary cove
That was neat
hybrid seal
I would of liked to see the leveling up thing too
past shuttle
sasha degtyarev exploring and taking notes
I didnt know his name was sasha
I only knew him as major degtyarev
hybrid seal
Alexander wasnt it?
grand pendant
Sasha = Alexander
hybrid seal
Ohh
past shuttle
wow
hybrid seal
Didnt know that
frail spire
Why not just throw in tameable chimeras
grand pendant
tameable pseudodogs when
hybrid seal
Tameable controllers when
wary cove
Degty makes some observations during cutscenes but
Would be nice if these were like in SoC
past shuttle
yea
grand pendant
frail spire
Nono, controllers woul be like npcs that give out random missions
wary cove
You get to control the controller
past shuttle
frail spire
Maybe make a 50/50 thing of a spawned controller being neutral or hostile
grand pendant
hybrid seal
At least controllers can communicate, the one in the dangerous cave told the major to leave oof
hybrid seal
The dude knows I'm coming but still has his back exposed to my automatic spas lmao
past shuttle
shotguns in cop are op
hybrid seal
Eventually I came to realize it's the opposite
past shuttle
wait what
hybrid seal
Against mutants they're ok but against humans not
grand pendant
burers were supposed to control mutants iirc, but that is probably cut and not canon
past shuttle
burer controlling mutants?
hybrid seal
Bruh they're too op already to be able to control mutants
past shuttle
burers are the worst
hybrid seal
Ikr
past shuttle
believe me chimera is better than burer
grand pendant
it was one of the first designs,they thought it was basically like Controller v2 OP and changed it
frail spire
I mean, instead of controlling a controller you could make it at least be non-hostile
past shuttle
I would rather die to a controller or a chimera than a burer
hybrid seal
believe me chimera is better than burer
@past shuttle well, depends on the environment
wary cove
Maybe they do
I've stumbled upon burers "leading" dogs
As in, they doesn't seem to attack the burer 
hybrid seal
I stumbled against a burer fighting a chimera
past shuttle
burers are just tricksters and annoying
hybrid seal
The chimera won but I finished it lol
wary cove
I stumbled against a burer fighting a chimera
Who won?
past shuttle
kek
wary cove
Lol
grand pendant
nah that just happens when you get the hunter achievement, which increases spawns, doubt it is actually canon. But who knows
hybrid seal
To make matters worse, I was cleaning the sawmill so I had to fight zombies while they chimera and burer were fighting
grand pendant
bet chimera destroyed the midget
past shuttle
bruh big boi
wary cove
We should look at the relations ltx
Maybe burers are hostile only to some mutants, idk
hybrid seal
For some reason coc made those mutants appear very commonly
wary cove
past shuttle
and a hint from me
hybrid seal
And even pseudogiants, I'd find one or 3 when leaving to explore
wary cove
A nightmare
hybrid seal
Good thing they're territorial
past shuttle
if you set stalker population to 0.25 and enter the area where the brain scorcher is, you will only encounter few monolithians
in the entrance of brain scorcher
like
hybrid seal
The prince of the saiyans making things easier for him?
hybrid seal
I mean, I always liked vanilla more lol
grand pendant
ofc, vanilla is superior
frail spire
The chad move is to play a warfare mod and set squad size limit to 8
hybrid seal
The only mods I've tried and liked were gunslinger and abr
past shuttle
its worth trying
hybrid seal
I didnt like coc
grand pendant
same, CoC is garbage and brought wackness to our community
frail spire
I remember going to army wharehouses as a bandit and I legit spent 3 hours there shooting at people non-stop
grand pendant
now all we get are CoC forks
hybrid seal
I didnt like that well, too many stuff and the quests werent detailed, I am not going to accept a task of killing someone who's at the cordon when I'm at zaton
But they didnt specify
grand pendant
well what did you expect lol, it's just a map pack basically
past shuttle
immersive fast travel makes it easier
and also there are many mods adding and fixing tasks
grand pendant
freeplay it's freeplay, can't make it good
frail spire
I usually just stick to getting artifacts or cleaning mutants up
grand pendant
even with story addons
frail spire
Hit jobs are never worth a damn
hybrid seal
Actually
past shuttle
you guys dont know lttz yet
nimble saddle
what is lttz
past shuttle
lost to the zone
hybrid seal
Also, it's quite easy to kill in coc lol
grand pendant
Lost to the Zone is horrible man
past shuttle
its a huge mod and there is a storyline extension to it
frail spire
The time and resources you waste on a hit job from one side of the world to the other could be better used in doing smaller jobs in the near maps
grand pendant
it was used in Anomaly as well afaik
bad thought storyline, thought it was like a placeholder or smth
past shuttle
@grand pendant which stalker do you play then
hybrid seal
I wanna try anomaly, sounds interesting
past shuttle
you dont like coc nor anomaly then what?
hybrid seal
But cant download because I dont have wifi only mobile data
grand pendant
rn NLC7, better alternatives until hand translation is out would be Fotograf, Joint Pak, Hidden Paths, Prospectors Project, etc
you dont like coc nor anomaly then what?
there is a lot more than Anomaly and CoC dude
past shuttle
hm i see
frail spire
Anomaly issue is mostly having inventory clutter issues, the guys who made it keep changing it from time to time since they want to keep the "fix that one trashed gun you came across"
past shuttle
when im done with lttz im gonna check those
@grand pendant thx for the names
also ironman mode is so great
grand pendant
I wanna try anomaly, sounds interesting
waste of time, if you really wanna try it wait a few months. Full release of 3.0 will be out soon
past shuttle
makes you think twice or more for a gun fight
hybrid seal
waste of time, if you really wanna try it wait a few months. Full release of 3.0 will be out soon
@grand pendant why?
grand pendant
bad mod with a horrible storyline. CoC fork with Misery mechanics and bad crafting system
pretty stable and highly customizable though, but i'd say it isn't worth the hassle
hybrid seal
And 3.0 would be better how?
grand pendant
i have no idea, but it would be the last release in a while, probably the most polished as well
Some mod in their discord said it will be out soon
but in general, Anomaly has a lot of potential, but it will be wasted, i bet my pp
it is already being wasted
hybrid seal
Oof then I'll take your advice
grand pendant
i recommend Hybrid as a better alternative
hybrid seal
Never heard of it
hybrid seal
I looked it up and it's all in polish oof
grand pendant
i've heard of a good freeplay mod being Road to Pripyat, think it is hand translated as well, but i haven't tried it so far
hybrid seal
And what's your fav mod?
nimble saddle
solyanka
grand pendant
mine would be Misery, but forget about it, i just have stockholm syndrome.
freeplay mods in general are not good, most are bad. I'd recommend OLR2.5, i tried Vector of Alienation lately, nice as well. OGSE, Fotograf, Pathologic, Radiophobia, etc
or just avoid headaches and stay in vanilla
frail spire
If you're into freeplay coc with addons or anomaly are an ok starting point
finite dragon
@grand pendant > Zone isn't a place for women, many issues stopping them. Artifacts with properties that only affect women by dumbing them. Rapists, bandits, and general explanation is that women don't like it there
@grand pendant females also can't go along the strong harsh enviroment of the zone. So why not stay where you are and go somewhere you cant die at
Males are physically better and if a woman sees a blind dog. Trust me someone will win a marathon
still ridge
What are you talking about lol
grand pendant
i mean, i can see women working with ecologists or in research roles. But combat and survival in the Zone is too wicked for them, just my privileged white male opinion
still ridge
I don’t believe you understand the enormity of what anomaly accomplished
grand pendant
what did Anomaly accomplish? enlighten me
finite dragon
You are right. Working as en ecologist is probably better and much easier
Also to answer your question ask yourself why don't the majority of militaries in the world recruit females. Or why are they very rare compared to males
:p
still ridge
64bit X-Ray engine, game is more stable. Best visuals of a stalker mod to date.
Other than that, the story feels like CoP but without the voice dialogue
grand pendant
64bit engine, it's not theirs afaik Game is stable, but no better visuals than, say, SWP or NA6. And Storyline is basically LTTZ
CoC did more
still ridge
But stalker is 32bit
grand pendant
so?
32bit or 64bit isn't a great improvement to go crazy about
most people don't even care
still ridge
In practice it is
grand pendant
ok, i give it as a good point
what else?
storyline is addons from CoC
Items are from Misery
Models are from STCoP and AO3.1
Crafting system is original but totally wack lol
some mutants from Metro iirc
don't get me wrong, i don't hate it. i just believe it is wasted potential, and mod could be really good
but as for now, it isn't worth it, nor anything impressive to me
still ridge
What would be more impressive?
grand pendant
NLC7, OGSR, Joint Pak
Prospect Project, SFZ Project
Pathologic 
Stuff like Goldsphere, Good Life Contract, Fotograf
Heck, even Hybrid is better, at least for me
currently excited for BTTR as well
and afaik Anomaly's engine is just a fork of OpenXRay 
finite dragon
yes

Itd get folk hyped if one trailer is an all combat trailer with Bandit Radio playing in the whole trailer

hello comrades
tired anvil
Heya
finite dragon
i have a question about SoC´s factions
if i kill 1 or 2 duty men do they automatically all hate me?
tired anvil
Think so yeah
finite dragon
i hate duty, annoying faction.
frail spire
Killing anyone you're not meant to usually ends up with everyone shooting you so yeah, careful for stray shots
finite dragon
does me killing certain people give me a bad ending?
i usually kill anyone thats alone really. sometimes.
finite dragon
ah okey
frail spire
More than once I've blown some heads off because the ai feels like getting in the way
grand pendant
are you gonna off the guys in Army Warehouses?
finite dragon
A.I so far has been ok in soc. no major glitches of the sorts, only thing theyve done funny is staying stuck and running in the same place
frail spire
Then suddenly everyone is like "wow, rude" and shoot you
finite dragon
i remember when i was a kid playing soc that i killed every duty guy in the bar zone
i want to kill them all @grand pendant in the bar zone. they literally didnt shoot 1 time when i was being chased by 7 mutated dogs
grand pendant
yeah, that's Duty for you. Ingame and in lore
frail spire
Just lure the dogs to them and get on a ledge
Watch them all die because ai sucks at tracking
finite dragon
ah ive already killed the dogs.. only thing i regret is buying the l82
piece of crap rifle really. feels worse than the akm
finite dragon
what does endurance mean in soc artifacts
grand pendant
how long your stamina will drop
finite dragon
aaah thats nice

you should get flashes and moonlights

i got 3 of them equiped that give slike 40 endurance each.

im replaying all of the stalkers slyth, last time i played stalker it was .... 2008? maybe 2010

im replaying all of the stalkers slyth, last time i played stalker it was .... 2008? maybe 2010
nice man, keep it up

may I request a faction change?

i recently speedran CoP for a theory

i really wanna try out the mods.

@wary cove freedomer
grand pendant
sure what do you want tushonka?
finite dragon
stalkers graphics.... didnt quite age well... or the A.I . . . .
wary cove
lol no
@grand pendant monolith please
past shuttle
BRUH
finite dragon
i wanna try out anomaly
grand pendant
gotcha
finite dragon
in terms of graphics and ai is cop better?
in terms of the 3 year gap (2007 to 2010 i believe was the last one?
past shuttle
I hate monolith
grand pendant
in graphics CS is better, AI is better in CoP
wary cove
thank you!
finite dragon
lol isnt tushonka a food in tarkov? like tourists delight?
wary cove
I hate monolith
they're my second fave faction hehe
finite dragon
really? soc has the best ai?..... f me im gonna suffer then
grand pendant
imagine liking Duty and Monolith 
, fair, i guess
finite dragon
FREE STALKERS best faction
past shuttle
loners are cool
grand pendant
really? soc has the best ai?..... f me im gonna suffer then
eh, seems like it, since combat is dynamic and happens out of nowhere. But CoP is more polished, technically
finite dragon
should i just use an A.I enhance mod?
grand pendant
it can happen as well in CoP, but you don't see it as ofte
finite dragon
like playing the game vanilla but with better a.i
grand pendant
should i just use an A.I enhance mod?
no need for any mods
finite dragon
good idea no?
grand pendant
mods usually dumb down vanilla
finite dragon
i hate that chat has slow mode.... it annoys me
past shuttle
in SoC there is like 10 areas
grand pendant
so it makes it worse
past shuttle
in CoP only 4
finite dragon
10 areas? feels like theres more.
past shuttle
I just guessed it
finite dragon
ah,
grand pendant
i hate that chat has slow mode.... it annoys me
when information comes out this gets spammed
finite dragon
ah because of stalker 2. is stalker 2 a sequal or?
past shuttle
cordon garbage agroprom dark valley rostok wild territory yantar radar pripyat CNPP agroprom underground sarcophagus
finite dragon
why is it even called stalker 2.
finite dragon
comparing 12 to 4 yea... the game size is vastly superior.
finite dragon
ah.... nice red forest from ukraine
past shuttle
and the great swamp
finite dragon
not so red now... but yea nice.
past shuttle
+4 and makes it 16
finite dragon
you know why it was called red forest right ?
wary cove
limansk was splitted in 2-3 parts (city hospital and bridge) iirc?
finite dragon
the leaves became red when the radiation waves hit the trees basically, after the blast.
although its not red anymore the actual real red forest.
finite dragon
past shuttle
which area out of the three games is the scariest i wonder?
wary cove
S2 but the entire plot revolves around artefact hunting
hm, definitely the labs are the scariest imo
past shuttle
there are four labs in total
finite dragon
streloks stash in the pipes and x18 lab
past shuttle
I only counted the x ones
finite dragon
guys where can i find a shotgun in soc? besides double barrel.
past shuttle
go to barkeep and check his stuff
finite dragon
ah he only has an94 and l86.
past shuttle
bruh
finite dragon
id use an94 but the iron sights are complete garbage.
finite dragon
he has in total, an94 2x, l86 2x, stalker suits 3x, walker pistols, and colt 45 2x
wary cove
Look for Dark valley or wild territory bandits, one of them sports an unique spsa 14
I don't remember who carries chaser shotguns tho
grand pendant
yeah, Poker has a unique SPSA-14, you can find the Chaser 13 anywhere as well, but most likely places early on would be Dark Valley, Garbage, Agroprom
actually, i might have confused SoC and CS rn. I don't really remember using the Chaser that much in SoC
but Army Warehouses for sure
finite dragon
i thought there was more weapons in stalker soc but apparently not
wary cove
I vaguely remember acquiring the chaser until reaching the army warehouses
if you're lucky, maybe some dead expert in wild territory drops a decent shotgun. I don't remember if zombies use shotguns other than sawed offs

x18 is like a place where u can train giving headshots because almost any npc dies with a headshot instantly
set ur weapon on single fire. peek n fire
wait till you go to x-16

Better off, which game

A perfect condition AN-94 still misses from not even 50 feet out despite pointing blank at their head, why is the accuracy on SoC so bad

Reali-. I mean, balance.

Because MUH REALISM
Because god forbid slavs don't make a game in which you can manually craft each bullet and wasting 1 hour filling every empty mag (which has to be manually crafted as well) and then use saussage-based oil to lubricate every single hole in a gun
grand pendant
lazy devs smh
native ibex
Hey hey
gusty trench
It's possible. Yeah
finite dragon
Anybody know some good artifact combos? im running two flashes one meat chunk
And 1 slime
gusty trench
Depends on what do you want. Stamina recovery f.e
Stamina: 2 Moonlights or 2 Flashes
finite dragon
my stamina feels bugged, it doesnt go down lol
gusty trench
I'm pretty sure it isn't. Unless you've downloaded a mod
finite dragon
well i do have 2 flashes on...
gusty trench
I think stone flower, jellyfish and night star are pretty useful
finite dragon
my stamina only goes down if i am over 50kilos limit
flower and jelly fish give radiation poisoninng
narrow echo
alternatively, hock all the artifacts you can to get a merc suit or something
gusty trench
Actually. I used only stamina recovery artefacts
finite dragon
i have a stalker suit atm.
gusty trench
That's all what do you need, when you will find a lot of items to sell
narrow echo
i use the ones that give stamina and naut else
finite dragon
im running 2 flashes, 1 meat chunk wich is 400hp but 10 less bulletproof and 1 slime
and a fireball
narrow echo
health artifacts increase regen, don't they?
gusty trench
I wish you knew my disappointment, when I used meatchunk...
finite dragon
haha...
meat chunk is good with other artifacts that give bulletproof but think is they give you radiation damage per second , they fill your yellow bar.
yea my stamina is bugged after equipping 2 flashes. doesnt go down.
where can i get a better suit than stalker suit
gusty trench
You can buy it from Freedom or Duty trader 🤔
finite dragon
where can i find them
gusty trench
You can find Freedom trader on the Army Warehouses, Duty trader in the Rostok
finite dragon
Just killed every duty boy on bar
grand pendant
respecc
finite dragon
I had to, i killed the duty guys guarding the entrance to the bar zone. and i didnt kne they were gonna be pissed off at me
finite dragon
@grand pendant all of them ez
maybe because i nade spammed in all of them and i wore very end game armor lmao
the worst experience was red forest in cs
where the f is streloks pipe entrance in soc
nvm found it
i just killed a very weird mutant... that affected my brain lol
gusty trench
It was Strelok. You've completed the game. 👏
finite dragon
im trying to find the damn stash
lucid elm
What
finite dragon
@finite dragon Strelok's Stash in SOC is in the Agroprom underground, make sure you loot it before going to X-16
if you don't you will get the worst endings in the game 
wary cove
this ^
finite dragon
also make sure to pick up strelok's Fast Firing AK, the thing is perfect for cleaning rooms full of heavily armored enemies.
finite dragon
it will help you till you get to endgame, keep in mind that endgame is where the gud stuff at

alright then
finite dragon
@finite dragon you have to go to strelok stash in AU before going to x-16 or x-18 or else the game will not progress properly. what kind of advice is that?
grand pendant
Strelok's Stash in SOC is in the Agroprom underground, make sure you loot it before going to X-16
finite dragon
thats literally what i said
@finite dragon
you can avoid streloks stash and get sidor the documents and u will progress by the main story. by x-18 and x-16 if u do x-16 and loot ghost your good endings say adios
i accidentally forgot searching his hideout and touched rocc
people dont loot strelok group's stash?
how
gusty trench
You can forget to visit it the second time
finite dragon
i dont like the sarcophegous
not a good way to end the game
its too linear and a little plane
i like the bit before were just running through all the action
i remeber my first time playing it, i didnt think to prepare ammo and i only had like 50 left, i was just taking new weapons on the go and discarding old gear just trying to make it to the end in any way i can
hard patio
X 18 I would bring a few Medkits and definantky have at least 4 clips when you enter the lav
grand pendant
didn't love it either, honestly. I did it fairly easy compared to other stories i've heard but it seems quite forced to make Strelok look like some kind of killing machine, again
then he dies to a few monolithians in CoP
hard patio
I generally don’t like endings where you can get a non canon one without even knowing
finite dragon
I want a multiplayer co op in stalker 2
languid harbor
Even having it like in the Saints row games would be good
finite dragon
Wonder how stalker 2 will do cutscenes
will there be none? A few? Frequent, I do not know
I personally liked the occasional memory cutscenes in stalker 1
untold loom
I really liked the kind of cutscenes ShoC and CS had, I hope they bring those back
finite dragon
I wonder how the models of the characters will look like
untold loom
better
untold loom
I liked the more neutral suits, like the basic SEVA, sunrise and exo
Clear Sky's suits were cool too
untold loom
SEVA op
finite dragon
I think SEVA suit is the best
Especially in shoc
all X-18 needs is a decent shotgun. 30 slugs and 40 shots
i dont recommend rifles for how tight the enviroment is
or if you a big chad. use PMm
@finite dragon the one kruglov wears is best in shoc
imo. or exoskeleton because the end is all about taking hits
Yeah I know
But I know that the duty SEVA suit is like the green one
The green SEVA suit
duty seva is red n black
green is freedom i think
the one kruglov wears called SSP-99M i think is best tho
idk the name of it
i completed SHOC with a seva with a lot of endurance artifacts. it was a run and gun to doom ost experience lol
stable pasture
Of course
I work my butt off in CoP to get all the good endings
And the last 3 people I need to keep alive
Just die at the end
pain
past shuttle
bruh
that and the military operation in the hospital
the monolithian with the gauss rifle instantly kills one soldier the moment he is open to fire
which makes it almost impossible to complete the mission without losing allies

Save scumming and rolling dice to get the first shot
My favourite way of gambling

I also wanna complete cop with all good ending stuff

lyric forge
Odd how they shorten the name of Mercinaries to “Merc” in SoC.
‘Thought they’d spell it fully out jej
finite dragon
well because it would sound lame to call mercenaries. mercenaries in soc
it just sounds cooler since everyone speaks in slangs. so it fits the atmosphere somewhat.
lyric forge
Ok freedumb
tired anvil
Hi
finite dragon
also trust me. being freedumb is better than being a duty member.
a drunk freedomer is more likely to make it through a place full of anomalies over a fully prepared duty member
wary cove
open lintel
potentially yeah
finite dragon
lyric forge
As if anomalies are hard to navigate, taking on a chimera sounds more like a challenge
I’d even say going against a snork would be a bigger challenge then navigating any anomaly without taking damage, screw only, no detector.
finite dragon
freedomers smoke weed with chimeras. dutiers dont get weed because they are not allowed 
plus the fact that they get beaten by the zone everyday lol
tired anvil

Which one of the heads gets to smoke the weed?
finite dragon

ah. i didnt get past the cordon yet in anomaly.
@wary cove they smoke weed with everything
meanwhile duty members crying about the zone hating them
tired anvil
Then proceed to hurt Zona
finite dragon
@tired anvil in Anomaly i tried to play monolith and i realized that mutants are aggressive towards monolith members. why would they do that although monolith help the zone
plus the first mutant i saw was a pseudogiant lmao
finite dragon
yep this somewhat contradicts some stuff. but it's a mod lol

personal wishlist for stalker 2:
clear sky cameo
degtyarev
no misery forks
finite dragon
@tired anvil it hurts your hands tho
tired anvil
Does a suit count as cameo?
narrow echo
yes
tired anvil
Or a picture of Lebedev like in CoP
finite dragon
but i can play piano, also for Stalker 2 all i want is Strider to make a faction of his own or be the main protagonist
narrow echo
its just a joke. i despise misery

i wanna die to know what happend to strider

Inb4 died to an anomaly

i dont honestly think we'll get many characters from previous games returning except for maybe strelok and degtyarev getting mentions

Likely is, though
tired anvil
Waiting to go lore'ing
i dont honestly think we'll get many characters from previous games returning except for maybe strelok and degtyarev getting mentions
CoP gives reasons for them to return
Strider, Cardan/Nitro
Or at least the vehicle they made

Strelok was part of all three games in the series
tired anvil
So was Nimble
burnt latch
I just wanna hear bandit radio music again
gusty trench
So why not to add him in the next too
narrow echo
yeah but its also been 11 years since CoP was released. the direction could've changed
tired anvil
It's been 13 years since SoC but GSC mentions it being very important to them
So I doubt they would just scrap the lore of the universe
narrow echo
i didnt say scrap, don't get me wrong
tired anvil
Ok not scrap, but sorta brush it off
I can see it slightly happening, but not exactly
narrow echo
i just dont think strider will show up and be a big thing
narrow echo
it all depends on what endings are canon really
tired anvil
True
narrow echo
freedom radio is better imo
pseudo rivet
All of them?
tired anvil
?
finite dragon
they dont load.
pseudo rivet
Save files
finite dragon
and i only have 2.

Sounds like a bad decision

i just looked stalker up on youtube and sorted by view count. most viewed one has 23m views

I see the one you mentioned
It's about Clear Sky
Damn that channel is huge, almost 14 million subs
I guess CS video is first, then the video Pewdiepie did and then Bandit Radio

what if strelok dies at the beginning of S2 by choking on his diet sausage

i swear to god this is the most ironic death ever for a man who has been to CNPP twice.

Dies from food poisoning

How is your quarantine going?
completed the trilogy, then realized that anomaly boars are stronger than Chimeras

anomaly has the scariest atmosphere of all three tbh
But not bad
