oh

that's alot farther back

[gusty trench]

Yep

[solid nest]

Is there anywhere you can buy m209 grenades in clear sky?

[gusty trench]

Ashot?

[solid nest]

I have wiped out duty so i hope it's not there

yeah i tried

Lots of quickloads, nothing

wiki seemed to say that he stops selling them when you get friendly with freedom?

[pseudo rivet]

He doesn't sell it?

Weird

He normally should

[gusty trench]

Interesting. But have you tried?

Alright. Let me remember...

Trader in the flea market?

He sells good things during night

Only Freedom sells NATO guns, explosives and ammo, as I know and only that trader is an exception.

[pseudo rivet]

Try checking out Thrush, Tooth and Sakharov's inventories

One of them probably sells them

[gusty trench]

I don't remember Sakharov selling M203 🤔
Let me check...

[finite dragon]

is there a reason to hang onto the documents found at the bridge

[gusty trench]

You can sell them to Owl

And that's it

[toxic vector]

i just finished Metro Exodus and all its DLCs today

i wonder which game A4 studio will make next

the story about artyom is already finished

making a new game about Sam 's journey could be nice

[hushed aurora]

Cool, nice

But what does it has to do with Stalker, considering this is the stalker channel and not offtopic

[obsidian crystal]

efwwfq

[gusty trench]

Because Stalker and Metro in the same universe

[hushed aurora]

[toxic vector]

stalker is Metro 's old brother

[hushed aurora]

Yeah but, this is for talking of Stalker

I think idk

This channel

[toxic vector]

well, i put Metro here because i cant find any stalker mod that is good enough to play these days

[hushed aurora]

Hm

Could talk about it in #💬┃en_offtop perhaps,

[still ridge]

They’re making a sequel for exodus iirc

just fyi

But yeah, go to offtopic if you wish to discuss it further

[solid dome]

Priboi Story?

First ever SoC mod

[toxic vector]

Will give it a try. Thanks

[solid dome]

Spatial Anomaly & Goldsphere are a must too

Goldsphere has machine translation sadly

[pseudo rivet]

First English mod

[still ridge]

[native ibex]

Hey hey

[still ridge]

👋🏼

[native ibex]

Edillon

Where did that name come from

[still ridge]

It wasn’t based on anything

If you’re thinking it’s “eidolon” you’re mistaken, I joined discord before anomaly was even a thing

[red ledge]

another sale 😔

[finite dragon]

oh yeah I validated my email so I can talk here

hello friends

I am excited for game

[red ledge]

hello

[native ibex]

@still ridge Gibberish, then?

[lone leaf]

Call of Chernobyl mod is continuing to keep me occupied until Stalker 2 but I am excite

[robust forge]

[solid dome]

Let's buy the games again, shall we?

[red ledge]

lul

[stiff citrus]

I love stalker

[sand fiber]

You should try other, better mods

[lone leaf]

You have any suggestions? I've mostly been doing that after playing the vanilla titles

[wicked current]

thats the spirit.

[sand fiber]

Other freeplay mods, story mods

[wicked current]

i recommend OLR even though i never played it

[sand fiber]

Spatial Anomaly, OLR, Lost Alpha, some old russian mods

Some short story mods

[lone leaf]

I'll start with the ones named and branch out from there, thanks.

[wicked current]

OLR will give you a beta stalker experience. what i mean by that is that the mod is trying to make the game similar to what it used to be in its beta days.

[sand fiber]

Beta?

[wicked current]

certain scrapped ideas and old unused locations are included

[sand fiber]

You mean, S:OL and builds

[wicked current]

not everyone understands the term build

but yeah, shadow of chernobyl used to go by the named of "oblivion lost" before they settled on the current one.

and the mod implements old ideas from the long five years of developement

[lone leaf]

After the main games I've mostly been getting into things like the fan videos and stories I've seen online, it'll be neat to check out some of these mods.

[wicked current]

neat dude

[livid spindle]

s2 is just a sales campaign for the original trilogy

[lone leaf]

lmao

[sand fiber]

Yes. Exactly

[wicked current]

[native ibex]

All the duty hate I see but the gigachad is a dutier on this server

[wicked current]

bias

idk who made the emotes

[royal dust]

hi

[wicked current]

hello

[livid spindle]

i got ghostpinged

[coral slate]

@pseudo rivet Did slowmode turned off manually or by CM?

[wicked current]

here?

[livid spindle]

yes here

[wicked current]

weird

didnt see anything

[livid spindle]

mustve been a message deleted by bot

[signal dove]

Bruh I just got my first exosuit but I still have no idea how to play the game

[lone leaf]

We're here to find cool magic rocks and sell them to shady merchants, don't die.

[pseudo rivet]

No clue

[signal dove]

Relatable, I found two but I'm trynna see who to sell em to

Wait is Bat even an artifact?

[pseudo rivet]

No

[signal dove]

Damn

[tired anvil]

@coral slate I turned it off recently

[sand fiber]

Wait

How

[grand pendant]

beta and build are different terms, you'd be better saying pre-alpha or smth

[past shuttle]

hm

@signal dove which stalker game are you talking about?

[signal dove]

Last Day, outfit drops set to on

[past shuttle]

a modded standalone stalker game I have never played

[signal dove]

I mean, I found it off a zombie, it was worn, and low condition, but still. Wearing it

[past shuttle]

good luck with that my friend

[past shuttle]

hm this question you asked

[signal dove]

Also have I mentioned that said zombies wiped out the Bandits at the Jupiter warehouse

[past shuttle]

I have seen an artefact named exactly like this in a mod bringing new artefacts into the zone for CoC

[past shuttle]

you cant be serious

[signal dove]

I am

Well, except for the trader, the repairman, and one other

Then again, when I came back around the second time, there were more zombies, a bloodsucker, and the last regular bandit was missing

[past shuttle]

I dont know what Last Day is about

never played it, so I am sorry for that

[signal dove]

I dont either, I think it just adds more stuff

[past shuttle]

I dont know what it brings to the zone

[hushed aurora]

There's no slowmode now

Nice

[pseudo rivet]

Last Day is a faction

[past shuttle]

@pseudo rivet OBJECTION

[hushed aurora]

Cut Faction

[past shuttle]

it is not

[signal dove]

RIP

[hushed aurora]

iirc

[pseudo rivet]

Or was that Final Day?

I don't know

[hushed aurora]

I think it was Final Day

[pseudo rivet]

Can't think at the moment

[past shuttle]

@pseudo rivet

[hushed aurora]

Let me check

[past shuttle]

Im just gonna drink a vodka for you

[hushed aurora]

Yeah Final Day is the faction

Last Day? idk

[signal dove]

Imma take pics of the aftermath

[grand pendant]

Barkeep says Final Day, but translation is either

[signal dove]

All the dead bandits and zombies

[past shuttle]

@signal dove why not join a faction?

[pseudo rivet]

Kewl

[signal dove]

On the server or in the game?

[pseudo rivet]

Server

[signal dove]

O'

[hushed aurora]

You can join a faction and then get to master and remove the faction to have a based orange colour

[past shuttle]

on the server

hm alright

[signal dove]

Ye

[past shuttle]

bandit huh

well good luck

[signal dove]

The corpses are gone

[past shuttle]

dont let yoga stump you like mario

[signal dove]

hsherb

[lone leaf]

"gone"

[signal dove]

There used to be like. 20-something bodies

[past shuttle]

as far as I know yoga is not much friendly to anyone

even bandits

[frail spire]

Become bandit, kill freedumbers and dootiers for fun

[lone leaf]

[signal dove]

Dooters

[past shuttle]

I would kill bandits for fun

[grand pendant]

Yoga is scum, not even good to his own men

[frail spire]

Everyone kills bandits for fun

Even bandits

[past shuttle]

with a vss, its damn good

[signal dove]

So far I've been taking pot-shots at Monolith because they're everywhere for some reason

[grand pendant]

imagine shooting an innocent dog

[pseudo rivet]

Imagine not Shamaning

[past shuttle]

its a puppy @grand pendant

[signal dove]

Game's hard but fair, I could not imagine playing on Ironman

[past shuttle]

well he didnt care at all

[grand pendant]

dog, puppy

[pseudo rivet]

Spotty Moment

[past shuttle]

it is sad to see how many stalkers were pursued to death

[pseudo rivet]

It was just a puppy

[past shuttle]

by bandits

even some bandits died like that

by their faction members

bandits be killing bandits

[signal dove]

I've got a combat-related question

[lone leaf]

When you have enough grenades you don't have to worry about thinking about who's down range, just saying.

[signal dove]

Has anyone else had trouble with Snorks?

I died like 6 times trying to take 2 down and ended up walking away empty-handed

[pseudo rivet]

Grab your pistol and kek them to death

Or don't

Be a Shaman

[signal dove]

Even using a nearby Electro didnt help, I kept on accidentally stumbling into it

Also what's a shaman

[grand pendant]

they're pretty buffed in LD, but meh, just avoid the jump and shoot 'em up

[pseudo rivet]

Stalkers who live in harmony with the Zone

[lone leaf]

Shotgun helps with pretty much everything fast in my experience

[signal dove]

Ohh

[grand pendant]

battle druids

[pseudo rivet]

[past shuttle]

the tactic is the same so yeah

[hushed aurora]

Not really

[signal dove]

The cats in LD also ruined my ankies too

[past shuttle]

just dodge their jumps

as long as possible

and shoot them

not so hard

[hushed aurora]

I mean starting you don't know what to do against smth that jumps at you

But if you played HL, they are basically larger deadlier heacrabs

[past shuttle]

you mean he should become a ''freedoomer''?

[hushed aurora]

You strafe to a side to dodge their charge and then shoot them when they land

[signal dove]

Yeah but Headcrabs didnt do whopping damage and take knife attacks like champs

[hushed aurora]

My internet didn't load these messages in time

[grand pendant]

Freedom is cool too, but he could become a Battle Druid

[pseudo rivet]

Freedomers attempt to live in harmony with the Zone

Shamans already live in harmony

[past shuttle]

I see

so thats the difference

hey

I already know one

[pseudo rivet]

That and them not being a faction

[past shuttle]

there is one guy like that

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

One

[past shuttle]

in CS, in agroprom

[pseudo rivet]

Correct

[past shuttle]

I met that guy

[pseudo rivet]

He's a Shaman

[past shuttle]

[grand pendant]

based Shaman with heavy firepower

[past shuttle]

I couldnt believe he was selling those weapons

[hushed aurora]

That's why i said deadlier

[past shuttle]

like the heck

[pseudo rivet]

RPG-7u Gang

[signal dove]

ye

[hushed aurora]

But strafing and shooting them when they land should be effective enough

[hushed aurora]

PMm Gang

[grand pendant]

it's bc he never uses them

[past shuttle]

and if you aim their heads whey they land, it should be easy enough to get rid of them

unless you get trapped

[past shuttle]

ultimate makarov

costs 100 k ru

exclusively made

[pseudo rivet]

Lookie here

[hushed aurora]

RPMm-7u

[past shuttle]

only 1 amount is available

[pseudo rivet]

T'is me personal PMm

[past shuttle]

if I had money that much

I would buy it

[hushed aurora]

Enchanted PMm Gang tho

[past shuttle]

cause why not

[hushed aurora]

I'll never get tired of it

[past shuttle]

funky weapon

[pseudo rivet]

Enchanted PMm Gang is kewl as heck, yo

[past shuttle]

but seriously

a full upgraded pmm

or pb or pm

anyway

[pseudo rivet]

But the RPMmG-7u is still my main

[past shuttle]

they should be fun to use

you pay money to upgrade them

[hushed aurora]

Damn right

[past shuttle]

and they become...

better?

Im newly into gunslinger

its like the same cop

but better

except burers, man those beasts

[pseudo rivet]

[past shuttle]

they are invincible

like literally

[grand pendant]

it's CoP with crashes

[pseudo rivet]

Jokes are supposed to be funny

[past shuttle]

you get to shoot them with a milisecond

and they are much smarter

they destroy you in your cover

even behind walls

[hushed aurora]

Apparently Burers are extremely deadly in Gunslinger

You are like the 5th i see that has problem with them

[past shuttle]

I got killed by the objects they were trying to stump upon me many times

so hard to kill them

[grand pendant]

they buffed enemies a lot, but i still don't have problems with them, honestly

[past shuttle]

what kind of madness is this

[grand pendant]

git UBGL

[past shuttle]

ubgl?

[grand pendant]

underbarrel grenade launcher

[frail spire]

I mean, if we go by super strict canon burers and controllers are ten times stronger than usually depicted in games

[pseudo rivet]

Aye

[native ibex]

@hushed aurora
Nice pfp

Venom is basically a better person than BB, imo

[pseudo rivet]

[hushed aurora]

Perhaps

I also wonder somethings about him but this isn't offtopic channel to discuss it

[native ibex]

You should ping me there

[grand pendant]

@signal dove mind rule 3 man

[frail spire]

Hell, some mods make controllers just do damage by getting near them

[still ridge]

has there been a gunslinger update recently?

[signal dove]

Never before have I felt more power than when I cleared a camp and only wasted 10 bullets on thin air

[frail spire]

throws F1 frag nade with 50 km radius and kills himself

[signal dove]

How do I kill a chimera

Actually how do i move through red forest period

[lone leaf]

Bullets

[frail spire]

With a knife

[pseudo rivet]

Bullets, explosives, etc.

[lone leaf]

It might need a lot of them

[pseudo rivet]

There's no Chimera at the Red Forest

[signal dove]

I have only one of these and it's still wiping the floor with me

[pseudo rivet]

What mod

[signal dove]

I mean not the red forest

Uh, whatever place

Spooky fog forest

[lone leaf]

But basically if something has a physical body, "put bullets into it" is a good plan.

[pseudo rivet]

What more

Uhm

Keep your distance

[signal dove]

Oh yeah nvm red forest

Last Day

[pseudo rivet]

Ah

[frail spire]

not cranking mutant pop to max

lmeaoing

[signal dove]

I set mutant count to lowest and stalker to highest

I want a fight, not a curbstomp

[frail spire]

Stalkers all die with a boolet to the head

Now a swarm of 12 snorks

[signal dove]

Please no

[frail spire]

dodge snork
gets hit anyways because lmaobox range

[signal dove]

Two pseudodogs of differing size and a Chimera. This game is great

Fun fact, I just wanna leave Jupiter without getting my brain scorched

[fair sedge]

[lone leaf]

You and a lot of people.

[signal dove]

Did you know that Chimeras can just

run away from a Whirligig

Without getting vaporized? I did.

[leaden hamlet]

My favourite tactic is to kite them around a big tree or other large, thick-ish object, "Weaponised Ring-a-Ring-a-Rosies" if you will. They'll either chase you around but be unable to hit you or attempt a leap, sail past you, and be easy pickings for a few shots.

[signal dove]

Ohh

[leaden hamlet]

Best case scenario, you tire the Chimera out, then can get close enough to pet it, feed it, and make a new friend! 😁

(Just make sure you pet both heads)

[signal dove]

D'aww, like a big kitty

Except, yknow, homocide is in its name

[leaden hamlet]

Eh, who cares so long as it's homicide-ing someone other than you. 😁

And GSC based the dang thing's body and attack pattern off the Black Panther, if I remember right, so it's kinda got big kitty DNA in it. 😁

[spice rapids]

[signal dove]

For some reason the factory bandit camp is empty

I'm scared

[leaden hamlet]

They tried to pet the Chimera but only petted one head...

[signal dove]

berhhfb yeah maybe

I checked on the bandit camp and all I saw were two rifles

Them boys gone lmao

[leaden hamlet]

You checked the basement? They probably pulled a real bender and are all passed-out drunk in there. 😆

[signal dove]

There is no basement

they're dead

[leaden hamlet]

...That you know about. 😏

[urban ore]

do i need any of the stalker games to download a.n.o.m.a.l.y. ?

i forgot

[tired anvil]

No

[frail spire]

anomaly is standalone

Usually if the mod doesn't says "it revamps/remakes/re-imagines X" or any other meme phrase explicitly then it should be a standalone

[urban ore]

pog

thank you gamer

[solid dome]

Who was refering to Anomaly as Amomawy?

Jester?

[signal dove]

stawkew uwu

i hate you

I installed the mod and every time I click "Play Anomaly" it starts loading for like 3 seconds and just disappears

No log or anything

This never happened before

[signal dove]

Is it a feat to wipe out the entire Duty population in Rostok?

[green spear]

I guess?

[pseudo rivet]

Kinda, but it's definitely based

[signal dove]

Ah, betbet

I have no goddamn clue why the game still considers me a rookie though.

[green spear]

I don’t know why you would want to kill everyone in Rostok, they got some pretty damn good trades

well, from time to time.

[signal dove]

I was playing Last Day as Freedom and I was trying to get out of Jupiter via fast travel because the only other way out was through the Red Forest

And the only option for outside Jupiter was the bar

And I was like "oh!!! I know that! Lots of people talk about it!"

What I didnt know is that it was populated by Duty and that they spawned close to me

So, I killed like 50 people in self-defence except for two loners who stole my loot and also the repairman

[green spear]

well... thank god you didn’t go to Red Forest. That place can be a hellhole of mutants. The one good thing about Red Forest is Forester.

I love the A-Life system but I hate when folks from my team steal from the corpses I leave behind

[finite dragon]

@pseudo rivet If you have time, could you tell me what happened to each of the Stingray choppers?

2 were shot down by a Monolithian with a Gauss Rifle and the rest have been wrecked by aerial anomalies, right?

[still ridge]

None were shot down

They all were destroyed by airborne anomalies

@finite dragon

[finite dragon]

O, I see. Thanks

[still ridge]

[dawn basalt]

I'm not keeping up to date too much, saw that it says it will release in 2021 in the youtube game category, any confirmed date?

[tired anvil]

2021 was only ever an ARG. So until further confirmation it's a myth @dawn basalt

[dawn basalt]

thank you!

[frail spire]

I will never not get buttfrustrated by not oneshotting a heli with a gauss while aiming at the cockpit

[pseudo rivet]

None were shot down
They all were destroyed by airborne anomalies

Edillon to the rescue

[leaden hamlet]

@pseudo rivet Am I right in remembering that Kovalsky says what happened to one of the Stingrays was a mystery?

[pseudo rivet]

Stingray 4, if I remember correctly

Also the first to drop from the sky

[leaden hamlet]

We thinking that one was also down to "lol anomalies"? Cos my mate's head canon theory was the actual pilot called in sick so they let the new guy fly it. 😁

[pseudo rivet]

That doesn't fly ||||, Viper. The Stingrays were all on auto-pilot

[leaden hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/i-see-what-you-did-there-steve-carell-wink-yes-gif-11363998

So we just thinking anomalies then?

[grand pendant]

he also confirms that monolithians are suicidal bastards, which is based

[leaden hamlet]

"like an egg"... 😬

[tired anvil]

Monolith are essentially like the Japanese om WW2

Fights till death, doesn't really turn back, suicides for the sake of a kill

[pseudo rivet]

Literally only one bash against the wall

[pseudo rivet]

Kinda glad they aren't like "My only weapon is an explosive vest"

[leaden hamlet]

@tired anvil An apt comparison...
@pseudo rivet Well isn't it confirmed that the Monolith are stronger than your average man? I suppose it would be possible...

[pseudo rivet]

They can literally survive multiple clips and still keep their hands around your throat

[leaden hamlet]

Inb4 new feature in S2; Monolith suicide bombers! 😁

[pseudo rivet]

Please, no

That would be ineffective and idiotic

Only as a last-ditch effort

[leaden hamlet]

*Serious Sam kamikaze screaming intensifies*

[tired anvil]

Apt?

[pseudo rivet]

Never heard of apt?

[tired anvil]

Not sure

[leaden hamlet]

Yeah, means good or fair. So "A fair comparison".

[tired anvil]

Yeah ok, never heard of that one

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, it means something makes sense or is understandable

[leaden hamlet]

The bleedin' Monolith in Anomaly do that. If you cripple them then they blow themselves up. 😆

[tired anvil]

Doesn't make sense imo

They don't feel pain, they fight till they are literally gone from life

[grand pendant]

true, just random normal stalkers have explosives on their vests

in case you shoot them in the back and try to steal their gear

[leaden hamlet]

Eh, the mod has a (sort of unreliable) surrender mechanic in it. If you cripple an NPC in a fire fight you can try and extract information from them, which involves getting close to them. Ergo; boom. I do agree though, it's really just there to troll the player. 😛

[hushed aurora]

I swear CoC has the same mechanic

But i could never pull it out

[tired anvil]

COTZ has the mechanic of you getting knocked

[hushed aurora]

So they can loot you or make you a prisoner or kidnap you or smth?

[leaden hamlet]

"Any last words?"
"Mon...O...Lit..."
"'kay cool, anything a little less predictab-"
*Loud bang, insta-gib*
"...Well that certainly fits the bill!" 🤣

[pseudo rivet]

Perhaps not pain, but they do lose strength

[grand pendant]

i doubt CoC has that, rebel

[hushed aurora]

I swear i remember smth like that

Would have to reinstall it

[leaden hamlet]

CoC does have the surrender mechanic, it just doesn't have Monolith suicide bombers.

[pseudo rivet]

"Defend the Monolith!"

[tired anvil]

Can loose your breath without feeling pain

[pseudo rivet]

Aye

[grand pendant]

oh ok, i never got it lol

[hushed aurora]

They just surrender and then you can dialog with them, but no matter what you tell them they'll go hostile again so it's not worth it

[leaden hamlet]

It's hilariously broken in CoC but can still proc. They increased the chance of it happening in Anomaly (and apparently further in the RCs) and it's still like once in a blue moon. Then Hip shoots them in the face anyways cos, I like to think, they twitched and she jumped. 😁

[grand pendant]

based broken mechanics

[pseudo rivet]

Monolithians surrendering?

Heresy

[wary cove]

heresy indeed

[leaden hamlet]

No the Monolith will do the lie-down-and-moan-incessantly thing the other NPCs do to look like they're surrendering, but when you go up to them to initiate dialogue they go...Well...Kind of everywhere...

[pseudo rivet]

You mean bleeding out?

[hushed aurora]

I think he means when a npc is weak

[leaden hamlet]

Yeah that's it, I just call it "being crippled" cos it reminds me too much of Left 4 Dead or Borderlands. 😁

[hushed aurora]

Like remember vanilla a npc would lie in the ground once you caused enough damage to them but you didn't kill it

[leaden hamlet]

The bloke you meet in the first 5 minutes of SoC does it.

[hushed aurora]

^

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

Bleeding out

[hushed aurora]

Ig it's the same

Yeah

[leaden hamlet]

I usually chuck 'em a medkit anyways, then they fix themselves up, pull a gun and get shot by one of my companions. 😁

That way I still look like the good guy...Kinda... 😁

[grand pendant]

karma system in sdalger when

[pseudo rivet]

Oof

[hushed aurora]

[pseudo rivet]

Reputation System

[leaden hamlet]

I like the reputation system, would be cool if they kept it in S2.

[grand pendant]

yeah but like make it useful

[leaden hamlet]

Yeah that'd be great. But even if it's just like in SoC and a little basically-pointless scoreboard I'd still be happy. 😁

[grand pendant]

i'm down for that placebo too

[leaden hamlet]

"Yay! I'm number one! Now if I bite it in the Rookie Eater anomaly then they'll totally have to go through the paperwork of renaming it!" 😁

(My [expletive] 'E' key...)

[tired anvil]

Make it useful like Tolik telling Cordon that you are a good person after giving him a medkit

[pseudo rivet]

It actually having a function would be neat

[grand pendant]

i can't remember if that was a random mod or RMA regarding cut content

[leaden hamlet]

It would be cool, yeah. Even if they didn't have a full system, little interactions like that would be cool. You help someone then they repay the favour, you harm someone or screw them over and it'll come back to bite you.

[wary cove]

this^

[grand pendant]

basically, you weren't allowed to enter the village after being saved from the Death Truck, people didn't trust you so you'd have to got around and stuff. After saving Tolik he'd vouch for you and you'd be welcome in the village

[wary cove]

plus people giving you more and better paid side missions, maybe discounts, etc.

[tired anvil]

Happens in CS

Max our rep and get the CS-1 suit for 15k RUB instead of ~22k

I think a "karma" system with the Zone itself would be an interesting mechanic. We know that the harder you push the Zone the harder it pushes back, so imagine a system where every secret / forbidden area you went to, every mutant you shot, every artifact you take, makes the Zone begin working harder against you and the other Stalkers living there.

if you take the northern path instead of doing the Vist run something similar goes on in CS too

me and the boys causing a third disaster

[tired anvil]

Too bad half the boys are dead

[pseudo rivet]

"Half"

[tired anvil]

[leaden hamlet]

Yeah but let's be honest, Dima was kind of a pain though...Sooooo... 😁

[tired anvil]

Ghost and Fang weren't

[pseudo rivet]

[leaden hamlet]

No...No we liked those...

😔

[pseudo rivet]

Dima?

[wary cove]

S2 but the player is a shaman/hermit

[pseudo rivet]

Neat

[tired anvil]

S2 but the game comed out this time

[pseudo rivet]

2050

[tired anvil]

I wish :'(

[pseudo rivet]

[leaden hamlet]

I'm just making up names, just saying that half the boys died but some of them kept stealing my sausage or pooping in my sleeping bag so I'm glad the Chimera got them. 😆

[tired anvil]

Zaxar dissproved that idea

~2 days ago he wrote 202_

[pseudo rivet]

HE DID WHAT?!?!

[tired anvil]

Yep

No 2050

[tired anvil]

Had Strelok's boys in mind

[pseudo rivet]

How... how dare he...?

[tired anvil]

Shame really

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, was confused due to this

Gaj was talking about Strelok's faction

[leaden hamlet]

Ah yes, the "Strelokians".

[grand pendant]

everyone in Strelok's faction is dead

[pseudo rivet]

'Cept Strelok

[grand pendant]

except Strelok

[tired anvil]

No

Braindead, 'member?

[pseudo rivet]

But he's a big ol' traitor and joined the Ukrainian government

[tired anvil]

Marked One left us

[leaden hamlet]

We not counting Doc?

[leaden hamlet]

Wait who?

[pseudo rivet]

Or Guide

[tired anvil]

Doc never got confirmed to be in it

[wary cove]

and Guide

[tired anvil]

Just a buddy, no?

[wary cove]

[pseudo rivet]

Neither got confirmed, yeah

[tired anvil]

Strelok

[grand pendant]

you are thinking of the Group anyway

[pseudo rivet]

Actually, not sure about Doctor

[grand pendant]

Guide seems to have never met Strelok too

maybe they never dealt directly

[leaden hamlet]

I have my suspicions that Guide is gonna be massive in S2...Just...Suspicions...

[wary cove]

[tired anvil]

Not without a mask at least, which would be strange

[pseudo rivet]

Yet talks about The Marked One "claiming to be who he says he is"

[grand pendant]

yeah, pretty much never seen him directly

or Guide is a schizo

[tired anvil]

From what I can remember, his dialogue is extremely short for him being a supposed legend

[pseudo rivet]

Mutated into a Super Mutant?

[grand pendant]

Superconductor

[leaden hamlet]

No, haha. I have my own personal theories about Guide and his ability to lead anyone to anywhere in the Zone, this plus his work in CoP seems to lend my ideas credence...

[tired anvil]

CoP?

[gray quest]

Where is stalker call of pripyat chat at?

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, he got mentioned in CoP, twice

[pseudo rivet]

You're looking at it

[gray quest]

Uhh

That's stalker 2

[pseudo rivet]

And the other games, too

[hushed aurora]

You can talk of both the original trilogy and S2 here

[grand pendant]

read channel's description

[hushed aurora]

Aye

[gray quest]

Uhh, ale

[leaden hamlet]

Yeah he's responsible for leading the surviving Military to Pripyat, for leading Garry to them, and leading Strelok to all of them, this means that he is directly responsible for all of them meeting Deggy & Strelok leaving the Zone.

[pseudo rivet]

Garry found his own way

[leaden hamlet]

Doesn't Garry say that he got that route originally from Guide?

[pseudo rivet]

Nah

Pretty sure Strelok wanted to meet the Military, too

That's why he went to them

[leaden hamlet]

Strelok DEFINITELY gets led there by Guide, or he at least points him in the right direction.

[hushed aurora]

He says Guide took him to the military

Aye

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

Guide did guide him to the Stingray group

[leaden hamlet]

My ideas are still holding up then. 😉

[pseudo rivet]

@grand pendant
Pretty sure Strelok wanted to go to Pripyat to get in contact with the Military, right?

[leaden hamlet]

Righto, I'm being called away. I'll catch you later! 👋

[hushed aurora]

Cya Viper

[pseudo rivet]

Cya later, Viper

[tired anvil]

Bye

[grand pendant]

CoP's memory is blurry

[pseudo rivet]

Aye

[pseudo rivet]

@leaden hamlet
He did go to Pripyat to get in contact with them

[gray quest]

How often do artifacts respawn?

Tryna farm them for money so I can pay for bread

[pseudo rivet]

Every 1-2 Emissions

[gray quest]

1-2?

Boiler anomaly

Is still not there

4 emissions later

Call of pripyat btw

[pseudo rivet]

Then there are probably artifacts your detector doesn't have in its list

You'll have to get a detector with an upgraded list of artifacts

What detector are you using?

[gray quest]

Bear detector

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, it's probably that

[gray quest]

Any better detectors?

[pseudo rivet]

Veles and the Svarog prototype

[gray quest]

Don't want one that takes ages to get

How do I obtain them?

[pseudo rivet]

Work for the Scientists and you'll be able to buy them

[frail spire]

Veles is ok if you can go around anomalous zones by yourself

[pseudo rivet]

Of course, there are also some stashes with them

[frail spire]

Svarog if you want the extra mini map

[gray quest]

What scientists?

I'm still at the beginning

[frail spire]

What stalker are you playing?

[pseudo rivet]

They're at Jupiter

[pseudo rivet]

CoP

[gray quest]

A rocket?

[frail spire]

iirc you can get one from the trader at the sevchenko

You need to do the mission though

From Owl

[gray quest]

Who's Owl?

Nvm

[pseudo rivet]

...

[gray quest]

I forget names

[pseudo rivet]

Meanwhile, you can check up on other anomalous areas

[frail spire]

You should at least visit them all once a day per map

[wary cove]

one of the Kopachy stashes has one, and if you're lucky enough you can loot them from zombies or dead stalkers
working for the scientists or Owl quest mentioned above are the quicker way to get them tho

[gray quest]

Owl didn't give me anything

Just 4k total because of the data I got from the mercenaries

This is a decent amount

But no detector

[frail spire]

I think you can get it after a few more quests

[gray quest]

I want any way to obtain a detector

[frail spire]

Can't remember right now how

[gray quest]

He doesn't have any quests

Checked him

[grand pendant]

owl doesn't give you a detector until you complete the quest

bringing 3 veles to Novikov

[frail spire]

Theres more than one quest but you have to do other quests related to that map

[gray quest]

Wait what

I can't get one velve in the first place for myself

Hell I don't want the best detector

The velve one should get the job done

Any recommendations to get it?

[frail spire]

Do every mission and don't try to rush it?

Like everyone else

[finite dragon]

patus

[gray quest]

So basically suffering

Eh

[hushed aurora]

No lol

[gray quest]

I'll just

I mean

[hushed aurora]

CoP could be the easiest since it's the one with the least action

[gray quest]

Velve is already kind of hard to find

[hushed aurora]

Veles

[gray quest]

Detector

Yes

This one

[hushed aurora]

You'll eventually find one

Don't expect the game to give it to you easily, and the bear one is decent for the start of the game

Definitely better than Echo

[gray quest]

Anything is better than echo

Also

I know the game isn't supposed to give it to me so easily

Also

What's the different between velve and the prototype detector?

[hushed aurora]

Veles detects all aritfacts known by science

[tired anvil]

Echo will detect like 2 artifacts and only bleep

[gray quest]

So none?

[tired anvil]

The better ones will show you were they are and stuff

[gray quest]

This means none?

[hushed aurora]

The prototype one detects both artifacts and anomalies

And even some artifacts unknown to science

iirc

[gray quest]

Uhh

This makes no sense really

[tired anvil]

This means all

[gray quest]

He says all artifacts known by science

[tired anvil]

Yes

[gray quest]

Don't know if that's irl or the game

[tired anvil]

Game

[hushed aurora]

And even some artifacts unknown to science (For the prototype one)

Irl?

Wdym lmao

[tired anvil]

It's games lore

[signal dove]

This game is pain

[tired anvil]

Which one?

[hushed aurora]

Which one

[pseudo rivet]

Yes.

[signal dove]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

[hushed aurora]

Kek

[pseudo rivet]

Ah yes

[hushed aurora]

Which one

[pseudo rivet]

You're right

[signal dove]

[pseudo rivet]

It is pretty hard

[signal dove]

Last Day

[gray quest]

Uhh

I don't want to be rude or anything

But isn't this game 13+?

[pseudo rivet]

16+

[wicked current]

pegi 16

[hushed aurora]

[gray quest]

And you're telling me

I can't swear

In this discord

[hushed aurora]

Pegi, 16

[pseudo rivet]

Correct

[signal dove]

Yeah

[gray quest]

🤔

[hushed aurora]

Thank the journalists

[signal dove]

Discord law

[gray quest]

Logic doesn't work here

Its not discord law

[wicked current]

yeah, the devs might get in trouble otherwise

[signal dove]

It is

[gray quest]

Its 13+

[hushed aurora]

Let me explain it

[pseudo rivet]

Rebel explained logic

[hushed aurora]

Some journalists came here

When it was allowed to swear

Made an article about it

So now you can't swear

[gray quest]

This makes no sense

[pseudo rivet]

Journalists usually don't

[gray quest]

This is a discord server for a game about killing people and mutants alike

[hushed aurora]

I can't explain it any better

[signal dove]

Journalists are scared of everything

Thats it. Thats all it is

[gray quest]

And now they don't want us to "swear"

[hushed aurora]

It's not GSC's fault

[gray quest]

Apparently it's fine to shoot something with a gun and see blood spill everywhere

[hushed aurora]

Like i said, thank the journalists

[signal dove]

The journalists are scared of boldness

[gray quest]

But it's not fine to swear

Thank the journalists

This is still stupid

That's like buying doom

[hushed aurora]

Kek

[pseudo rivet]

I am legally not allowed to say that

[gray quest]

And your only concern is one or two swear words

[hushed aurora]

[signal dove]

censorship is a wonderful thing y'know

[gray quest]

They could've just made the server

16+

This isn't Christian Minecraft server

[signal dove]

The Zone took away my fragile ego, the server took what was left.

[gray quest]

Its a server for a spooky game for teenagers

[pseudo rivet]

You're right, this is a Collectorian STALKER server

[signal dove]

Young adults*

[gray quest]

Old teenagers*

[tired anvil]

Server was made, people started screeching swears, media flipped their crap, swearing and other rules were made

[edgy spindle]

@pseudo rivet What gas mask do mercs use?

[pseudo rivet]

In-game name or actual IRL name?

[signal dove]

Dont merc gas masks have helmets?

[edgy spindle]

Both

[signal dove]

Sphere series in-game I think?

98 and 102 or smth idk I lost mine

[pseudo rivet]

Respirator / XM40 Gas Mask

[edgy spindle]

XM40?

Isn't that like rare?

[signal dove]

OH those!

[pseudo rivet]

Don't think so

[signal dove]

Nvm I haven't encountered a merc yet

[pseudo rivet]

Wouldn't really know about how common they are

[edgy spindle]

I see

[signal dove]

I wish I knew how to repair my loadout in Last Day because my guns keep jamming

I have never seen a gun in good condition before

And also I keep getting one-tapped

[finite dragon]

It's hard to even find one online.
Ain't that the M40?

[pseudo rivet]

Pretty sure the M40 is the one we see on the CS-3b

[finite dragon]

CS-3b

b

[edgy spindle]

CS-3what

[pseudo rivet]

CS-3b

[edgy spindle]

a what

[pseudo rivet]

Lemme say it in ooga booga

CS-2

[edgy spindle]

Oh

OH

I'm calling the CS-1 CS-3c from now on

[pseudo rivet]

Oof

[grand pendant]

it has no name in-game nor files, but closest speculation would be CS-3b because there is a CS-3a.

[wicked current]

oh

we're here again

[signal dove]

Sometimes I like to imagine that when you collect patches off of corpses, you just shove them onto your own body in random places as opposed to in your pockets / backpack / satchel

So when you go to tackle your enemies, you have a multicolored assortment of badges that act as camo and also an eyesore

[edgy spindle]

That's actually terrifying

"What faction are you?"

"A L L"

[wicked current]

interesting strategy

i will try it out when visiting chernobyl next year

[signal dove]

"Is that- is that a mutant? Why's it running towards HQ?"
loud PDA noises speeding past "BADGESSSSS"
"WHAT THE HELL-"

[finite dragon]

So wait, do Freedom actually even smoke weed? How much?

[pseudo rivet]

Gee, I wonder where the meme came from

[finite dragon]

Probably outfits

[pseudo rivet]

Blocked

[finite dragon]

[edgy spindle]

@pseudo rivet Does any faction actually like use illegal drugs?

[pseudo rivet]

If you count weed, then yes

[signal dove]

I'm p. sure that Monolith like crack

[pseudo rivet]

Not sure if adrenaline is illegal

[signal dove]

or krokodil

[pseudo rivet]

[signal dove]

I don't think so

[edgy spindle]

What faction does weed?

[pseudo rivet]

Freedom

[finite dragon]

[edgy spindle]

Wait what

[finite dragon]

Wtf

[edgy spindle]

actually?

[finite dragon]

Am I retarded then

[pseudo rivet]

Actually

Yes

[finite dragon]

Knew it.

[signal dove]

Yeah

They smonk

[edgy spindle]

You just said no wait yes no wait what

[finite dragon]

Am I a bad reader

[edgy spindle]

They actually do or is it just a meme?

[signal dove]

They're hippies lmao what did you expect

[pseudo rivet]

It's both

They do use it and it is a meme

[grand pendant]

some members do, others don't

[edgy spindle]

Bruh

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, it's not all of them

[finite dragon]

But Duty still do more

Right?

[grand pendant]

the ones who do are actually a minority

[pseudo rivet]

There's only a few who use it

[finite dragon]

[pseudo rivet]

Damn right, Duty does more

[grand pendant]

using anabolics to look buffed

[finite dragon]

Also, Varyag life support system - blood clotting substances, they're used to stop bleeding

Right, but how does the suit know where/when to inject?

[signal dove]

Duty are big and mean and smelly. Pseudo-military and they hurt my knees and wear not-blue

[grand pendant]

i believe that's the life support system, varyag injects "dubious substances"

[signal dove]

They dont smoke weed because they arent cool

[finite dragon]

PS5-M Universal Protection

Antiseptic
Anti-Tetanic
Stimulating substances

Varyag field support system

[pseudo rivet]

That's the Skif

But yeah, it's a life support system

[finite dragon]

Varyag
Adrenaline and Blood clotting

[pseudo rivet]

Take a guess how it works

[finite dragon]

Supports your life

How?

No idea

[signal dove]

Financial support, replaces doctors in the main land

[finite dragon]

By injecting crap

[pseudo rivet]

Also, your list misses something at Skif

[finite dragon]

How does it know where to inject?

No idea

[finite dragon]

It's your list

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

I have this

PS5-M Universal Protection

Care built-in system
Antiseptic substances
Anti-Tetanic substances

Varyag field support system

[signal dove]

Thats why the main land is as bad as the zone. All the doctors have been replaced by weird life support system

[finite dragon]

Thanks Cwimson

[grand pendant]

not at all, very few people actually get that

your everyday stalker, which is the majority, has rather hobo gear to decent

[pseudo rivet]

• the fact NPCs don't use upgrades

Still, they technically have access to it

[finite dragon]

[signal dove]

If you ever run out of ammo, just remember; 9mm ammo always exists and its in your backpack just look bro its there

[pseudo rivet]

But yeah, Duty literally pumps all sorts of drugs into their body

And we don't even know what the Pheonix restoration system injects into your body

[signal dove]

crack

[pseudo rivet]

All we know is that it allows the removal of pain

[finite dragon]

Basically preventing death from pain shock or whatever?

[pseudo rivet]

Basically painkillers

[still ridge]

uh

[finite dragon]

Basically consuming too much is fun

[pseudo rivet]

@still ridge
Yes

Duty drugs

[signal dove]

I'm pretty sure it just injects them with absurd amounts of morphine

Well, not absurd, but

[pseudo rivet]

Dubious

Content

[signal dove]

Very dubious

Debatable, Clear Sky should be researching that instead of the zone

[pseudo rivet]

Wat

[signal dove]

Research dubious content

Finding out what duty smokin is more important than zone research

[still ridge]

How dubious we talking

[grand pendant]

more dubious than anabolics

[still ridge]

Duty is filled with alcoholics

More dubious than weed I’m assuming

Since weed isn’t dubious

[grand pendant]

a lot

[still ridge]

duty crackheads?

Explains why they’re so aggressive

[signal dove]

Duty members are in a state of constant post-bonk clarity

[still ridge]

[grand pendant]

anabolics be making them mad

[still ridge]

Cracked up dutyer

[pseudo rivet]

@finite dragon
Nevermind, not painkillers. The Pheonix restoration system blocks pain entirely

[finite dragon]

Basically with the help of magic

[signal dove]

So thats why those folk aint twitchin when I shoot em

[still ridge]

what

Uh

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah

Edillon

[still ridge]

ok, probably some morphine something stronger

Meth

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

A goodnight kiss from grandma.

[signal dove]

Our hypotheses are centered and unified but nobody's ready or strong enough to say what it is

[grand pendant]

it's says complex chemical composition, they probably would've just said morphine if it was that

[signal dove]

It's cigarette smoke

[pseudo rivet]

Yep, it's totally unknown what it is

[still ridge]

Chemical composition

hmm

What are some chemical compounds

[signal dove]

Yo what if they

[grand pendant]

there is a lot

[still ridge]

Hard drugs

[signal dove]

Took the blood from Bloodsuckers or Chimeras

[still ridge]

[signal dove]

And used that in it

[signal dove]

Zone-produced duty crack

[still ridge]

Phoenix restoration system:

[signal dove]

its just a pure black image

[grand pendant]

inb4 they are actually destroying their nerves with ethanol injections

[finite dragon]

Imagine injecting alcohol (one used in drinks) instead of properly drinking it

[grand pendant]

kinda based

[finite dragon]

Yea

[pseudo rivet]

Demoman Moment

[signal dove]

This is why Freedom is better than Duty. They dont need hard drugs to survive. All they need is weed and then they die instantly while smoking

[finite dragon]

[pseudo rivet]

Noted

[finite dragon]

Duty aid science instead of researching themselves

So like

[pseudo rivet]

[finite dragon]

Sorry, no

I meant

They help the ecologists, there

Protecting their bunkers and stuff

[signal dove]

Ecoligists are to Duty as Clear Sky is to Freedom. I think.

[finite dragon]

Duty wack, Freedom wack

[signal dove]

I dont know I've been getting shot at this entire time

[pseudo rivet]

This is too modified for me

[native ibex]

@finite dragon Filthy moderate

[finite dragon]

[still ridge]

Duty does research

If I’m not mistaken they found out pseudodog composition

[pseudo rivet]

They study mutant anatomy

Looking for a more efficient way to kill them

[still ridge]

To find out how to kill them deader

I mean, it’s not like you can really kill a mutant easier than with a gun

I guess with a bigger gun

[finite dragon]

Right, forgot that
