It's not impossible.
Sin could just be the result of Monolith's destruction.

Plus there are areas of the zone untouched.

You are our destiny, and we are your brothers, we are all brothers in the Monolith's light, we shall die for your name, we shall die for your cause, we shall die in your light, death is only the beginning, we march with your name on our lips, oh Monolith!

Survarium is free so you can always try it if you're interested

Though like Slyth said, the mix could work

novel garden Aug 31, 2020, 8:41 PM

I hope they mystify the zone a bit more, I'd like it to test stalkers

tired anvil Aug 31, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

Idk about test stalkers, but judging from the lab in the trailer, we will most likely get that

novel garden Aug 31, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

Yeah I don't know either. I guess it could work in co-op. Imagine the scenario where you are in a situation similar to the golden ball with a friend. Could be fun and a neat Easter egg

tired anvil Aug 31, 2020, 8:47 PM

I'd prefer a solid single player myself

glossy condor Aug 31, 2020, 8:50 PM

It would be cool if they had a sandbox mode that you could have coop or single player

good question

narrow echo Aug 31, 2020, 9:24 PM

i hope stalker 2 is less shoot-on-sight with enemies tbh, like in the case of military stalkers and loners. why would putting on a uniform make you instantly bloodthirsty

grand pendant Aug 31, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

well they are forced to KoS

narrow echo Aug 31, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

im not talking about grunts

#

im talking about comissioned stalkers with military contracts. like degtayrev

novel garden Aug 31, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

Military, scientists and mercenaries. I hope they will all have a proper name

grand pendant Aug 31, 2020, 9:26 PM

Degtyarev is a USS operative, military-stalkers are also forced to KoS

no, contract

#

they've got orders, you know

narrow echo Aug 31, 2020, 9:27 PM

it's not like the ukraine government knows when they don't instantly shoot people

grand pendant Aug 31, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

what kuznetsov

wary cove Aug 31, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

Maybe not friendly-friendly but military won't actively try to raid & kill loners like in the past games since they prove to haveuseful knowledge about the zone they doesn't ( I.E Strelok, Topol's group althought they joined scientists instead military)

narrow echo Aug 31, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

if a military guy passes a squad of loners he's not gonna gun them down if nobody's looking. that's just him risking his life for virtually no reason

grand pendant Aug 31, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

Military already has enough informers, + they don't just go alone by themselves wandering the Zone, so they wouldn't mind gunning some untrained loners down

#

some set up posts like Kuznetsov and tax stalkers to pass, some go stray and seek help like CS guy under the bridge, but those are rare cases

narrow echo Aug 31, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

imo the latter seems like the rule rather than the exception

#

at least that's how i'd write it

grand pendant Aug 31, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

not many end up alone, since they just patrol or keep guard in camps most of the time, so it is an exception rather than a rule

#

at least that's how i'd write it
fan-fic, of course, not canon

narrow echo Aug 31, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

sure they're dangerous stalkers and you should shoot on sight. but why would you? that's super risky. Just let them do as they please and keep them away from checkpoints

#

mutants will probably kill them anyway, so it's no skin off your teeth

grand pendant Aug 31, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

well they do, like in Cordon, after they get sweetened by a trader or group of stalkers. It's not always KoS everywhere, but it definitely is in places far from safe spots

narrow echo Aug 31, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

i understand it's mostly just gameplay reasons that its shoot on sight and stuff but to me it just doesnt make a lot of sense

you go down the radar road, fight monolith and break into lab X-10, after getting in you will encounter about three blood suckers, which you can easily avoid and then go into the main control room for the brain scorcher, disable it and you go to pripyat on your way out easily

#

another thing i must tell you, you need to get a special Psy-Protection Module from The Scientists at Yantar before going to the brain Scorcher or you will be Brainwashed.

#

for clear sky SRP is mandatory and the only mod Im using now to play clear sky and is excellent, it fixes faction wars and the mod itself has optional features like correcting pistol ads view, sleeping bag and a more realistic and satisfying ballistic behaviour and more highly recomend

#

https://www.moddb.com/mods/srp/downloads/srp-v112

#

I played soc just fine vanilla but when i was playing clear sky vanilla, the faction war was bugged af almost gamebreaking, also the pistol zoom and the ballistic models are even worse compared to soc idk why they did that... but SRP fixes all those things and a lot more, while keeping the game as original as possible,
i also recomend to reduce sun rays to low, no aa and max the rest, it looks really good and you will have full performance compared to installing graphic mods that halve your gpu use and fps

#

They’ve a song called “Dead Zone Walk through” which is like walking through the ZONE. It’s an interlude track but kind of cool also. Also a song called the Red Forest and Pripjat

#

By the way, do you guys think S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 will be better with vehicles that you can ride or or it better stays faithful to the good ol' running

grand pendant Sep 4, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

we don't know the release date

#

and opinions about vehicles are 50/50, some want them, some don't

pure crater Sep 4, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

Vehicles could be quite useful if GSC really decided to make one whole open world like Skyrim's etc.

grand pendant Sep 4, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

it would be against lore

#

the whole reason vehicles were cut it's because "anomalies are everywhere"

#

alright then GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

pure crater Sep 4, 2020, 8:20 AM

#

Yep, but maybe u'll be able to use an anomaly detector just like u used a diamond detector in FarCry2

#

Hey, why I can't?

grand pendant Sep 4, 2020, 8:20 AM

#

read the #📌┃rules

#

if you join a new server, reading the rules is a great thing

#

Yep, but maybe u'll be able to use an anomaly detector just like u used a diamond detector in FarCry2
@pure crater that's what i suppose Nitro and Cardan are doing, if the CoP ending is canon

#

still, the detector doesn't make anomalies disappear

#

just shows where they are, so you'd be driving at 20km/h

#

or even less, most likely

pure crater Sep 4, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

But still it is way faster, than going on your owns. And the car doesn't feel encumbrance and exhaustion Think_about_it

grand pendant Sep 4, 2020, 8:24 AM

#

it makes noise

#

you know what noise does? attract unwanted attention

#

bandits, mutants, any enemy

#

and by driving at 20km/h you won't escape without getting a few bullets in

pure crater Sep 4, 2020, 8:26 AM

#

Oh yes, and a gunfire while you shooting bandits, mutants and other mobs doesn't make a noise at all smile_strelok

grand pendant Sep 4, 2020, 8:26 AM

#

lore =/= gameplay

#

even then, you are not supposed to shoot in STALKER, but run from enemies or sneak

pure crater Sep 4, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

I don't think that the way you exploring the Zone will change your lore - u will go on foot if there is no way your car can drive through, and u will more likely to wish to drive if there is a long way from point A to your point if destination

grand pendant Sep 4, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

you don't explore in a vehicle, you explore on foot. Vehicles are only for going from point A to B quickly

#

and it's a bad idea, anomalies everywhere, remember?

@sterile topaz #561153889110589442

pure crater Sep 4, 2020, 8:38 AM

#

Well, maybe we have our own view of exploring, coz I imagine that there will be some places of interest that u might want to visit and explore - not just searching the every square meter of CDZ and lurking for something you don't even know what... And, imo cars (if GSC will really decide to make them) shoul be only non-essential feature, just like horses in every TES. About anomalies, maybe it is good idea to make the car modification-able, so you could, for example, mount improved Svarog-like detector that has a long range of action

#

Or some other features

#

So that everyone would be able to choose his own way how to explore

grand pendant Sep 4, 2020, 8:39 AM

#

yes, cars could definitely work in the Zone, to transport cargo only, and slowly

#

but not for everyday transport

pure crater Sep 4, 2020, 8:40 AM

#

Of course not

#

But for some cases

grand pendant Sep 4, 2020, 8:40 AM

#

it's not about exploring or anything, you literally couldn't drive a car in the Zone faster than 15km/h without going head first on an anomaly

#

detector start bipping when you are already too close

pure crater Sep 4, 2020, 8:41 AM

#

Svarog, my friend, not the simple Bear or Veles

#

And don't forget that almost every anomaly has it's own visual effects, seeing which u can terminate even the type of anomaly

grand pendant Sep 4, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

Svarog detector doesn't allow scanning anomalies at a wider range

#

And don't forget that almost every anomaly has it's own visual effects, seeing which u can terminate even the type of anomaly
so what?

#

you'll just know what anomaly killed you

pure crater Sep 4, 2020, 8:44 AM

#

So you can drive faster then 20km just being watchful Think_about_it

grand pendant Sep 4, 2020, 8:44 AM

#

kuznetsov

#

most paths are blocked by anomalies as well, paths you can only cross on foot

#

and the Zone's terrain is unstable, you won't drive steady, anomalies can shift after every big emission, etc

#

So you can drive faster then 20km just being watchful
and this wouldn't work, you can see the anomalies but they don't just vanish, you need to dodge them

pure crater Sep 4, 2020, 8:48 AM

#

Also i don't think there will be a problem for experienced technicians or even ecologists to make a longer-range detector simply putting a large antenna ot somewhat to improve the range (if the Svarog uses the method of radar or RF to detect)

grand pendant Sep 4, 2020, 8:49 AM

#

that's basically saying that common technicians can improve detectors made by great minds

#

Svarog is the most advanced detector, a simple Zone technician can't improve that

pure crater Sep 4, 2020, 8:51 AM

#

Oh yes, and the every "common" technician participates in development of Item №62 smile_degtyarev

#

Not for every technician, of course

grand pendant Sep 4, 2020, 8:52 AM

#

that's just Lebedev, Kalancha, Cardan and Suslov

#

Kalancha vanished, Lebedev died, Suslov probably got out of the Zone

#

Cardan is the last chance

pure crater Sep 4, 2020, 8:59 AM

#

Besides, he isn't a governmental scienctist, he helped to make hard modifications for weapon to every free stalker. The fact gives us that the making of such a modification could be designed as a quest so you will need to search for details, fine-tuning, welding and other sort of instruments, maybe even some documentation for that Svarog (even simply stealing or paying ransom to ecologists so they will share some info with you that will become in handy doing such a modification). That should even be a gameplay feature

rush it. it will try and slap you instead of that stupid phsy attack

leaden hamlet Sep 4, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

In all 3 games: Use cover to repeatedly break line of sight while firing on him, throw grenades if you seriously need him down.
In SoC and CS: Bum rush him and empty a shotgun or high-calibre pistol into him at point blank, his melee attack is pathetic.
In CoP: First strat or leg it, his melee is much nastier!
Modded I have no idea, sorry...

Ok thanks

Any time! noice controller_b_left

pseudo rivet Sep 4, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

It's best to just keep your distance and stay in cover when he's about to attack

#

The closer you get to him, the more dangerous he becomes

#

Grenades definitely help against them, due to their slow movement speed

glossy condor Sep 4, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

would a rpg be useful in Jupiter underground?

coral patrol Sep 4, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Yeah if you dont have a sniper

pseudo rivet Sep 4, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Not really

#

I would suggest something like a GP37, an SGI-5k or an SVUmk-2

#

Personally, I would go for the SGI-5k with a grenade launcher

leaden hamlet Sep 4, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

Meh, I'd say his response to proximity is different depending on the game. SoC he has absolutely no melee attack, so getting right in his face is viable. CS his melee attack is really wimpy so unless you're on like 2 HP then it's still a viable strat. CoP he can really do some damage up close so cover or super-long range is needed.

@glossy condor
Sort of? Can help with a couple of encounters but will generally be dead weight due to close proximity fighting. Fun as heck though, as always! 😁

pseudo rivet Sep 4, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

Well, if you get too close to a Controller, he will distort your vision

#

Best to just keep your distance or throw grenades

glossy condor Sep 4, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

After you make your way through the tunnels can you go back to yanov?

pseudo rivet Sep 4, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

Not directly, no

#

After completing the first mission

leaden hamlet Sep 4, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

True, but it's just a visual effect so isn't exactly a problem up real close - Where he'll try melee as opposed to BRAIN BLAST. But yeah, you're right, the safer strategy is definitely as you say - Stay back, stay in cover, and use pineapples if need-be.

pseudo rivet Sep 4, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

Plus, the psi-field around him deals plenty of damage

leaden hamlet Sep 4, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

@glossy condor
Through the way you came? No. But you can go back once you...Shall we say...Make yourself comfortable a little bit.

@pseudo rivet
Again, I'd argue that depends on the game and is sort of situational. And even then, in the situations where I'd say it's viable to get within hugging-range, if you're using a good shotgun then he'll be down before you can take damage from it, or at least less damage than receiving a free, long-ranged lobotomy. 😁
Both tactics are sound, in all honesty. I do agree, however, that, as you said, keeping your distance is a safe tactic that works regardless of the (vanilla) game.

#

Can we at least agree that calling them rude names is a brilliant way to damage their self-esteem and make them leave you alone? That one has never failed me yet! 😆

pseudo rivet Sep 4, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

It all depends on the way they act

#

Sometimes they will just psi-blast you within melee range

#

Hate it when it happens, so I just keep my distance

leaden hamlet Sep 4, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

@pseudo rivet
Huh. Yeah that's a good point actually. They can be a tad unpredictable...I'd still say it's uncommon (at least for me) but yeah, still true.

just finished call of pripyat, did I miss out on alot of content if everyone in the zone died

#

Oh, darn

#

yeah I was really scared for some reason

hazy path Sep 5, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

hoping stalker 2 still has a bunch of the well known locations, like cordon, rostok, yanov, etc

#

although I'm afraid it's in development hell, we have a handful of screenshots and a pre-rendered trailer. nothing about the story, gameplay, characters, or weapons has been revealed, which makes me wonder if it's not finished yet or subject to change a lot

#

then again it's coming out 2021 so they probably don't want to blow their load too soon. hoping more details come out in the near future

sullen dragon Sep 5, 2020, 2:40 AM

uh

#

isnt it gonna release bit early

#

gonna need to build a new rig then, since it's an open world game using unreal lol

#

I'm stoked, thanks

#

didn't they also say no loading screens? or is that just my imagination?

sullen dragon Sep 5, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

im not sure about that, but it is gonna be huge they said

hazy path Sep 5, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

Yes, that I recall. Would be interesting to see if they do actually add vehicles to the game if it is indeed that huge

#

but I'd like to see how it gets "modernized," like will all the guns be properly mirrored, stamina affects aiming, have to load and store magazines, etc

By the way is it possible to make S.T.A.L.K.E.R. CoP to use 4 GB of my GPU's VRAM instead of only 2 GB?

I know it's due to the coding limitations such as the game using 32 bit values, but maybe it's possible?

Misery + TAZ is always a good choice

Still follows the storyline, but you got drugs and more realism and also guns.

leaden hamlet Sep 5, 2020, 12:32 PM

Just occurred to me; what does aiming down sights in STALKER (all 3 of 'em) actually do? Besides zoom in a little bit or use scopes. Does it improve the weapon's projectile deviation / spread? Lower recoil? Nothing at all? Just realised I don't actually know the answer. 😛

Stalker games would probably scare me if they took on a more psychological approach like that in P.T. or parts of Metro. Gross mutants and creepy noises don't do it for me any more.

yeah sometimes, I think I'm getting desensitized by it. Especially zombies, I came into this game freaking the heck out at the Sawmill area in Zaton but now I just could walk up to them without fear.

RE:2 would've terrified me as a kid now zombies are just "stay out of arms reach and move around them" kind of monsters. The zombies in Stalker are nowhere near as scary but are definitely a much bigger threat.

hearty wasp Sep 5, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

Not very accurately but it doesn't matter when playing on master because a few bullets will kill you and they normally appear in groups so their volume of fire is heavy.

#

I do hope stalker 2 will cut down on the bullet sponge stuff that was so prevalent in the original games.

I'm sure they will, it seems like they care a lot about it from what I heard. If they delay it, it's not a problem either. Better game.

@grand pendant
So I unpacked SoC's game files and had a dig, thankfully there are notes in the AN94's .ltx file re how the stuff works in terms of ADS vs hip fire. Here's that ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; base dispersion ; ; === Setting of the weapon shooting dispersal parameter === ;Dispersal consists from to basic constituents – dispersal of the weapon (relatively small). In fact, this is a dispersal of a weapon griped in a vice; - dispersal of the weapon behavior in the hands of the host (if he running, or walking or shoots in single shots or in a burst) is another, more significant factor of dispersal. ;Dispersal of the weapon depends only from basic dispersal, basket case factor ant time of the ammo. ;Dispersal of the way the host shooting (standing, running and etc.) ;Two types of shooting modes can be defined: - usual mode and zoomed mode. ;Usual mode: - depends from the position of the player while shooting (standing, sitting, walking and running) ;Zoomed mode – depends from the dispersal of the weapon and do NOT depends from the position of the shooter. In that mode, dispersal of the weapon &laquo switches to;» sight swinging (created be effector). ;Weapon recoil in the game also created by recoil effector. ; ;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#

It seems like all aiming down sights does is make the gun not take the player's current position into account when firing.

Stalkers can't pick up loot if I remember right, they can only loot bodies. Source: Trust me, I deliberately dropped medkits in front of many people.

@pseudo rivet debating on playing vanilla CoP

#

I’ve been playing gunslinger but I lowkey miss the original weapons

#

I hope that the joint project between Cardon and Nitro to make a vehicle at the end of CoP gets realised in the sequel :D

#

CoP weapons are pretty balanced

#

Everything has its own playstyle

@pseudo rivet

Tide or Streloks SGI?

pseudo rivet Sep 6, 2020, 5:25 PM

Tide

My man

pseudo rivet Sep 6, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

I usually just use the stock weapons, though

#

In which case I would go for the SGI-5k

Have you beaten the sawn off sunrise challenge yet?

pseudo rivet Sep 6, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

Try it with a Trenchcoat instead

#

That along with the PMm is weirdly enough pretty strong

main grotto Sep 6, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

Is there a trenchcoat in vanilla CoP??

pseudo rivet Sep 6, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

Yeah
