Hello all.

We, from the C-Con discord have expanded our #stalker-news channel over to our Moddb group. It's inspired by Ap-pro's Stalker news videos, though in this case it's in a text format.
The article contains both news from western and eastern parties. The eastern ones being translated by me. Give it a read and send us feedback if you have any in the article comments.

Another one of these may be released next month, depending if we receive good feedback out of it.

Thanks for reading!

The Zone posses mortal danger! We are here to protect you from the Zone, not the Zone from you! Do not jeopardize your life, do not try to penetrate into the secured area!

on that concept art
that 2nd piece is a place in rostok isnt it

#

imma go double check

#

yup

#

bar confirmed?

hallow solstice
#

I imagine we’ll have a lot of the classic old areas in the zone

finite dragon
#

Well since stalker 2 takes place after call of pripyat maybe we'll visit some new place

#

i have a hard time to run away from the military at cordon

#

i try running right next to the fence but i keep getting killed

#

Given the 100% good ending (cop) (which is canon right?) a lot of stuff will be happening

grand pendant
#

CoP has no canon ending

finite dragon
#

did they confirm crafting items in this game?

grand pendant
#

kinda sorta

best way to kill a pseudogiant?

slate terrace
quick dune
#

no way

slate terrace
#

Knife
-dont use ammo
-dont eat your inventory
-one head hit kill to every human being

#

Surely that's work also for mutant

quick dune
#

surely that will work for a heavily mutated mutant that has the health of ~6 humans

slate terrace
lean igloo
#

aim for the face

quick dune
#

hard to do that if ur running away

idle steppe
#

why everyone calls new stalker as stalker 2 when new stalker is stalker 4?

tired anvil
#

Because GSC considers Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat closer to modern DLC/expansion packs than full fledged games

idle steppe
#

ooooooooo

#

ok

#

thanks

quick dune
#

yea it's kinda like continuation games or dlcs

idle steppe
#

then why its stalker 2 and not stalker call of sidorovich or something like that

tired anvil
#

Because GSC considers Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat closer to modern DLC/expansion packs than full fledged games

idle steppe
#

i understod

torn umbra
#

never actually thought of it that way myself but that does make sense actually

#

hella big expansion packs tho 😂

tired anvil
#

If all DLC were like that feels_annoyed_stalk

torn umbra
#

that'd be gamer heaven bro

#

i finna blow my entire acc on that

quartz hawk
#

Do your think stalker 2 Will have something like a freeplay mode? Something akin to anomaly or CoC?

torn umbra
#

i think that when you're not doing the story stalker is pretty freeplay already

quartz hawk
#

True true, but a true freeplay experience would be fun. Although at this point im happy the game is just coming out

quick dune
#

stalker 2 doesn't really have a story though

quartz hawk
#

How so?

quick dune
#

well i mean it does have one but i think it won't be as big as the previous ones

#

maybe after completing it u get a choice to play on the save or delete it

tired anvil
#

They mentioned multiple endings so who knows

finite dragon
#

Turn this stinky thing off, my head is going to explode!

#

Thank you, kind sir

#

omw to sidorovich to do some dirty, bad paid jobs for bread

quick dune
final raptor
#

it's the same, but with different name

quick dune
#

well i would describe stalkers as people who run around the zone because they accept weird jobs from random people

final raptor
#

well i think the only difference between bandits and loners is the name and loners being more accepted in the zone

quick dune
#

i dunno

final raptor
#

they have the same goal, making money, robbing and killing people and such

quick dune
#

bandits are more of scavengers/savages who rob people and have their own bases

#

stalkers are the most basic faction imo

final raptor
#

yeah

#

so they are more like undecided

quick dune
#

ecologists are the closest to a fully neutral faction

#

monolith - crazy people who are the most aggressive in the zone

final raptor
#

yeah, but its boring to play eco's in anomaly

#

you get jumped by snorks immediately

quick dune
#

that's why i play as bandits and military

#

my 2 favorite factions

finite dragon
quick dune
#

pls no

final raptor
#

i like to play loners and being free to choose whatever faction i want in the game

#

being neutral to freedom and duty

#

i used to be a freedomer tho

quick dune
#

freedom cool

final raptor
#

yeah, i have cool freedom patches at home

#

then i tried play loners

#

and i found duty guys not being as bad as i thought

#

and freedomers not as great as i thought

#

so here i am, undecided

quick dune
#

i liked duty more than the other factions but then i learned that freedom doesn't fight the zone

final raptor
#

in my first soc playthrough i went with duty, didn't even visit freedom base before totally destroying it with the near duty squad

#

then my friend, also a freedomer explained to me why dooty sucks

#

they wanted to destroy the zone

#

freedom wanted to protect it

#

and their base in cs was epic

#

so i changed sides

#

after playing cop, i tried anomaly, and decided to be undecided

#

both are cool

quick dune
#

i like freedom more

#

though duty has the bar

final raptor
#

yeah

#

stalker talking about "visiting the bar"

#

and freedom be like

quick dune
#

yea i don't really like the freedom base

#

not much to do

final raptor
#

well i like it, i dont think its that bad

#

anyway

#

i gotta go

quick dune
#

it's not super bad

final raptor
#

see you, stalker

quick dune
#

seeya

verbal hemlock
# final raptor both are cool

thank you. The best way to go is to let Freedom’s squad take out the Duty squad on their own in SoC so the stalemate is maintained, be undecided in CS, and then be undecided in CoP (get a man of balance while also recruiting Strider’s squad into one of them)

#

both are cool but they waste so much time fighting each other when they could both be accomplishing things that are objectively good, like taking out mercs and mutants

final raptor
#

well, I don't think there is a "best" way to play the game tho. It depends on player's values and what does he believe in. If he sees the Zone as a miracle worth preserving, he shall join Freedom, Clear Sky or Ecologists. If he sees the Zone as an opportunity to make money, let him join Mercs, Bandits or Loners and so on.

tired anvil
#

There definitely is a best way to play the game

#

And that is vanilla drink

jade basin
#

Helo gays

#

who speaks Russian

final raptor
#

also, in Clear Sky, If I'm correct, Scar helped Freedom secure the base in Army Warehouses, so If you want to play it like it "should be," side with Freedom in Clear Sky

#

There is a channel for russians

tired anvil
final raptor
jade basin
#

thank @tired anvil

#

tired anvil
final raptor
#

oh

jade basin
#

you are talking about the game now

final raptor
#

well, yeah

jade basin
#

what is your name @final raptor

final raptor
#

I don't think I want to share my real name

tired anvil
#

Yea that's a bit of a weird question

#

And also not the place for it

jade basin
#

It is clear, well, if you consider it necessary, then it is not necessary

jade basin
#

well, sorry what sc

final raptor
#

Its okay

jade basin
#

I wish I didn't have enough nitro, sorry (

#

where did you start playing stalker Henkiii

glacial quartz
#

Any news of some gameplay guys? I am dying over here

There will be a video about the behind-the-scenes of GSC on the 26th

tired anvil
glacial quartz
#

Thanks comrades

jade basin
#

understand

glacial quartz
#

But I think my wounds are too deep

#

If gsc doesn't release a footage of ingame gameplay of stalker 2 then let me go

jade basin
#

Nothing brother will survive

final raptor
#

Yeah

glacial quartz
#

My soul is fading

#

I need this game in my veins

tired anvil
jade basin
#

everything will be fine

final raptor
jade basin
#

my laptop doesn’t pull a stalker, I don’t play it

final raptor
#

I know a year isn't much, but I think I managed to catch up with others

jade basin
#

yeah you're right)

final raptor
#

I am also thinking about making a cosplay, the most basic rookie stalker

jade basin
#

to be honest i am an anime fan, so i will do cosplay based on it

final raptor
#

Maybe later upgrade it with other gear and an airsoft AK-74N

jade basin
#

Cosplay will be cool, I hope)

final raptor
#

I hope so, too. If I ever make one, I'll post it here

jade basin
#

good luck, bro)))

final raptor
#

Thanks

jade basin
#

I myself wanted to assemble a computer for a long time, well, my hands did not reach, and money (well, soon I will assemble it, and I will achieve my goal!

final raptor
#

Sounds great

jade basin
#

maybe I will spend all the money for the children, with a low-income family)

#

Or just rent to the fund

#

I am a kind person

final raptor
#

Thats nice

jade basin
#

how to get

jade basin
#

@final raptor

#

noticed that all moderators have nitro

quick dune
#

what's ur guys' favorite mutant

jade basin
#

quick dune
#

mine would probably be snork

sand oar
#

Yeah

#

I like snorks

leaden hamlet
quick dune
#

fracture makes weird noises...

#

i would also say fracture but i probably like snorks more

jade basin
#

в

#

||give nitro plz||

#

who doesn't mind

#

but it is not necessary

#

sorry for interrupting

#

So I wanted to say I don’t play stalker, but good luck to everyone in the game.

#

And why did the asset fall

robust forge
#

God, aren't you an annoying one

jade basin
robust forge
#

Can you stop?

jade basin
#

you don't understand them

robust forge
#

And?

jade basin
#

i am stopped

#

I understand you are Russian, right?

robust forge
#

Far from it, yet way closer than I'd be comfortable with

jade basin
#

Whoa did I offend you? sorry

robust forge
#

Am I offended?

#

I'm just annoyed

jade basin
#

okay, I will not interfere, calm down quickly)

final forge
#

Hello guys, i just finished SoC and im about to start CS, what mods can i use that fixes bugs and stuff. I also dont mind graphical mods 😄

quick dune
#

try it first without mods

#

i wouldn't install them right away

robust forge
#

If you really want to, use SRP

#

That's all

final forge
#

I used ZRP for soc

#

is that the same thing but for sc?

final raptor
#

I recommend not using mods for the first time

robust forge
#

Yeah, SRP is pretty much ZRP for CS

final raptor
#

Also, @robust forge I noticed you have a "master" role, how do I rank up?

robust forge
#

Talk

final raptor
#

Oh

#

Okay

sand oar
#

:/

woven fern
#

hey uh in cop whats the point of staying in the zone

#

tired anvil
#

Just to explore for the most part

woven fern
#

#

nice beat every single game on stalker difficulty

#

tired anvil
#

You got the 100% good ending?

woven fern
#

quick dune
#

#

i only play on that one because i don't like small risks

jade basin
#

Oh

sand oar
#

I play on master cuz i like to actually 1 tap

tired anvil
#

Can 1 tap on all difficulties

sand oar
#

Isnt ur accuracy different though

tired anvil
quick dune
#

master is the only right difficulty to play on

final raptor
#

yeah

mighty compass
#

So I'm stuck

#

Does someone know how to like get unstuck

#

Like I'm in the bar behind an npc

#

That doesn't want to move

#

Between two tables

finite dragon
#

mighty compass

Attention! You are approaching the secured perimeter of a ecological disaster's Zone! Illicit crossing of the perimeter is a criminal act!

Too late

finite dragon
#

so I'm trying to get to cordon in cs but there but i keep dying going there so i choose other way and finally i can go to cordon but the loner at bridge don't let me get across

verbal hemlock
#

when you take his job you can go past the bridge

finite dragon
#

i try to go to the first entrance near the military output and i keep dying i watched the tutorial and i keep getting killed

verbal hemlock
#

uhhhhh

#

go through the tunnel

#

to get to the rookie village

hexed yoke
#

Hey

#

Can somebody help me?

#

How i can see what i must do like quest before it was on tab

#

But i have inventory on tab how do i get back

verbal hemlock
#

@hexed yoke pause, go to options, then controls

#

look around and you can change your controls

hexed yoke
#

Yes but hoa its names

#

D

#

I cant find it

verbal hemlock
#

Well first set your inventory button to something that isn’t tab

#

I usually have it with “I” as in iodine

final raptor
#

good morning

#

I was thinking about making a rookie cosplay, I also play airsoft so I decided to use it for airsoft too, which gun should I get?

#

I'm deciding between the AKS-74UN and AK-74N

#

the U is cool, perfect for a rookie, but it would be weird to use it if I ever "ranked up" my cosplays, also the short barrel is not great for airsoft

#

The stardard AK is cool, but have you ever seen a rookie using a stardard AK? They have submachine guns and short rifles, I know there are some exceptions and its not that strict but I don't know, can't decide

#

Anyone with experience?

mighty compass
#

Okay I am going to lab x18 something u need to know

mighty compass
blissful coyote
#

under and over shotgun is the best

mighty compass
#

I only like the shotgun begin game and when I am going into buildings

#

Like in the garbage something like a rifle or smg is better in my opinion

blissful coyote
#

lies

mighty compass
#

And is a shotgun good for in the lab

finite dragon
#

Well be careful about that flying thing

blissful coyote
#

it's called slug rounds

#

and it works

mighty compass
#

I have this tundre or something that shoots 54.ksmething bullets

#

I dunno

#

But it's a pretty good gun

blissful coyote
#

who wants to go in a vc?

mighty compass
#

Nah I'm prob going to piss myself when I am going into the lab

#

Don't want yall to hear it

finite dragon
#

alright I'm going to watch the clear sky ending at yotubre smile_strelok

mighty compass
#

Npice

#

Noice

blissful coyote
#

no

#

bad

#

u play the game

finite dragon
#

I'm bad at cs so I'm going to watch the cs ending and continue to play soc for a third time

blissful coyote
#

i need some stalker people to talk to

leaden hamlet
quick dune
#

shotguns good for panicking

blissful coyote
#

shotguns are best for all times

mighty compass
#

I prefer real bullets

quick dune
#

can be bad if u don’t have slugs

blissful coyote
#

that's what i mean

#

slugs for life

finite dragon
#

you can get spas12 at the chernobyl npp from dead monolith

quick dune
#

that’s at the end of the game

blissful coyote
#

spas12 is some what good

quick dune
#

not much usage aside from killing more monolith guys

finite dragon
#

can someone tell me what are the military doing at the end of the game? are they trying to help me or trying to kill me

blissful coyote
#

kill

#

i think

finite dragon
#

First when i saw 2 helicopter at the chernobyl i was so happy that i don't have a fight the monolith and i can do last task

mighty compass
#

Welp the lab it is

#

Imma go cry cry cry

blissful coyote
#

let's vc

mighty compass
#

What is it a bad day to be alive

#

Nah I can't

blissful coyote
#

why?

mighty compass
#

Mic is doo doo

blissful coyote
#

how doo doo?

mighty compass
#

Don't even have one

blissful coyote
#

oof

final raptor
#

I have finished all three games and now im playing Anomaly

blissful coyote
#

@final raptor vc?

final raptor
#

still at 1.5.0 beta cuz transfering saves deletes my achievements, so until I finish my game, I ain't going nowhere

#

Nah, sorry, not now

blissful coyote
#

aight

mighty compass
#

Any tips for lab x18

proper wyvern
#

Get the RPG on top of the lab

#

And shoot the Pseudogiant with it

#

After that, ignore the poltergeist. They just like throwing objects at you and waste of ammo

#

Seriously, the more I kill. The more spawn

#

Once you get to good old fun phase 2. Clear it like you're running a house clear drill. Watch the corners

#

I hope I got the right lab

mighty compass
#

Phase 2

#

A SECOND PHASE

proper wyvern
#

Phase 2 is angry Spetsnaz

#

It's just getting your self out of the lab really on Phase 2

mighty compass
#

Okay

#

Just angry Russian dudes

#

Nothing special

proper wyvern
#

I hope to god I got the right lab

#

Is it in the dark valley?

mighty compass
#

Yeah

#

The one for the documents

proper wyvern
#

Also, work with the Duty member there. He'll give a free scope for the AK74

#

There's also a Monolith suit and a grenade launcher with grenades In the lab

#

Nifty stuff, I can't use it because I have the Obokan but useful

#

Eh, you'll be fine

#

Just blow up the Psuedogisnt with the RPG

#

Or Borov but no waste Borov

mighty compass
#

I have a shotgun will that work

proper wyvern
#

Pft idk, I just use the AK and a shotgun I had somehwere

#

Mostly AK

#

It's mostly tight spaces anyway so yeah

mighty compass
#

I just killed the giant

#

Pretty easy tho

#

Why did my screen turn red

#

And Did I hear scary audio

proper wyvern
#

Good luck, Stalker

robust forge
#

Hmm

#

Crackhead theory going through

#

@gusty trench have you played or heard about Ace Combat 3?

gusty trench
#

Nope. I haven't played it but I remember that you wrote about your experience with this game.

robust forge
#

Yeah, it's great

#

Anyways

#

The whole game is about a scientist creating an AI which will enact revenge on a certain someone and kill him

#

Basing on all scenarios

#

And now

#

Kill Strelok

#

Clear Sky might be a simulation program for brainwashing stalker

#

The one being brainwashed in question was Strelok himself who was supposed to kill well, Strelok

gusty trench
#

C-Con already has one but it's used as defence.

robust forge
#

Yeah, that's the thing

#

Clear Sky might be just a simulation

mighty compass
#

I did it

proper wyvern
#

You mean Ace Combat 3: Wacky matrix stuff?

final raptor
#

huh?

#

Clear Sky might be a simulation? What part of Clear Sky is a simulation?

mighty compass
#

That's just like the twist of lost

final raptor
#

Also, red screen, there is this poltergeist throwing fire on you, just spray him and dodge the fire

proper wyvern
#

Really easy to kill. Once you mag dump it 3 times

#

Wait really, you shotgunned it. I had to mag dump the damn thing

final raptor
#

I just hard to spot him while running around screaming for help

#

like me for the first time

proper wyvern
#

Spotted Sidorovich selling armour for like 60k rubles when I found it for way cheaper

#

At the BAR

quick dune
#

i one shot him with ak74

#

i think the barkeep sells for lower prices

#

not sure

proper wyvern
#

Classic sidorovich

mighty compass
#

Why is cordon so hard rn

quick dune
#

wdym

#

i went straight to the bar after x18

#

i killed the military guys at the bridge

mighty compass
#

I went to the south exit

#

And then went to the fat man in the bunker

quick dune
#

why did u go to sidor

mighty compass
#

Cause he wanted to talk to me

#

So I did

quick dune
#

he wants u to go to the barkeep i think

#

since he didn’t give u a marker to meet him

mighty compass
#

But when you talk to him he gives you another mission

final raptor
#

Just do whatever game tells you to do

past shuttle
#

The hitboxes of poltergeists are way small

#

Shotguns come in really handy for killing them

final raptor
#

just thinking

#

It would be cool to make some online stalker server

#

it would end up like gta online tho

#

People doing their tasks and getting sniper out of nowhere

proper wyvern
#

I think it's called Stay Out

#

And one of the inspired stalker ones is called "Will to Survive" or "Will to Live" either one

final raptor
#

oh

proper wyvern
#

Stay Out's tutorial freaking Sucks

final raptor
#

okay

#

Im so ready for co-op

proper wyvern
#

Mods

finite dragon
#

you mean rp

mighty compass
#

I just did that task for the psu armor

#

A fricking blow out came

#

So it insta failed

#

Is that like always scripted

proper wyvern
#

Ah, call of Pripyat

#

Jesus, if only Krogar didn't glitch so I can get him into Yantar

mighty compass
#

He just died

proper wyvern
#

Mine just stood perfectly still

#

After fighting zombies near the entrance to Yantar

mighty compass
#

Oka6

proper wyvern
#

I was THIS close to finish his mission but I was forced to fail it

#

Emission right

#

Noway I could have saved him

Text prompt says to many zombies

#

There were really zero zombies

#

Stalker, there are no bugs

#

Only anomalies

past shuttle
#

Which mission are you guys talking about?

proper wyvern
#

My one was escorting the ecologist to Yantar from Wild Territory from the heli crash in SoC. He glitched and wouldn't budge so I had to continue on without him

#

waste of a good mission and loot. Damn mercs and zombies

slate terrace
#

Ehm,F7?

proper wyvern
#

I autosaved and my other save point is in the cordorn... Before I went to lab X-18 and the bar and apparently before the research institute... I am not going through that hell again

slate terrace
#

Wait,you don't quicksaving every 30 second?

proper wyvern
#

I spam that button

past shuttle
#

The benefit of frequently quicksaving

#

But not too frequent

proper wyvern
#

I play on two devices, so different save points

past shuttle
#

Every 5 to 10 minutes, I quicksave usually

proper wyvern
#

I quick save during fights

#

And before going anywhere

#

I wanted to retry the mission for the escort... It autosaved once I got into Yantar, feels_bad_stalk

Quicksaved?

Sorry autosaved

The game itself doesn't quicksave

Hard to see with my glasses off at night

Heard to see

Dang,you superhuman

proper wyvern
#

Yes

#

Derp

mighty compass

I always save when I go into a new level

#

And I mostly forget to save

I just spam the ever living out of it so hard the key actually popped off

I always save every time i kill something

Anyone has tips to getting those documents at the Apronogram Research institute?

slate terrace
#

Aprono what?

proper wyvern
#

For a 2nd playthrough if I want to

mighty compass
#

I just run and gunned

proper wyvern
#

The thing you had to go into a tunnel for and threw hands with a bloodsucker

slate terrace
#

Just run and gun, just kill the military at the end level

mighty compass
#

Controller was it

proper wyvern
#

And a controller

slate terrace
#

Left the controller for faster

proper wyvern
#

But that's the near the end

mighty compass
#

I hate controllers

#

Once I died to it, I walked in but turned my camera 360 till it watches the place where it walks in

#

I edged my back a little then lit it up

#

It's not scary, just very annoying

#

Especially the ZOOM

mighty compass
#

It feels like someone just screams in my ears

proper wyvern
#

I need to stop stocking on so much grenades, I already have 8

#

Well, who cares. Grenades are grenades

past shuttle
#

5 is enough

proper wyvern
#

Never can have too much

mighty compass
#

I almost never use grenades

proper wyvern
#

They expect one grenade, they don't expect the 13 others

mighty compass
#

I use those things for in a launcher

#

About which one yall talking

#

The one for in the launchers or the hand thrown ones

past shuttle
#

Hand thrown

proper wyvern
#

My guy, I have like 20 bandages and 3 separate medkits of each kind. I am above 50kgs and the amount of things I have in my inventory makes me a walking armoury

past shuttle
#

That happens a lot @proper wyvern

#

So I'd say it's normal Sure_I_am

proper wyvern
#

The Zone is a fickle mistress

mighty compass
#

Is it weird that I have over almost 500kg of things

proper wyvern
#

Always be prepared

mighty compass
#

Like guns ammo

#

Meds

#

Artifacts

proper wyvern
#

And my anti radiation drugs hitting above 10+

mighty compass
#

And armor

proper wyvern
#

I accidentally sold my artefacts since the game lops them together in the trade menu

#

So I'm just not using any artifacts at all

past shuttle
#

Collect some at night

mighty compass
#

I first began to not use artifacts at all

past shuttle
#

You will need stamina a lot

mighty compass
#

Until I saw the meat chunk

proper wyvern
#

I'm alive in Yantar so that's saying something

mighty compass
#

And those endurance things

proper wyvern
#

I never use the ones that boost health, heard it doesn't increase regen

past shuttle

#

Tree p

#

Ye0

#

Yep

proper wyvern
#

I'll collect some in the garbage later

#

Too busy in yantar

past shuttle
#

@proper wyvern Don't forget to loot the stash

proper wyvern
#

Yep

past shuttle
#

There is a very special stash in the lab

proper wyvern
#

I'm so glad I sold the TRS-301 and my L85 for the Obokan

#

Much better

past shuttle
#

Only after you complete x16, you unlock the stash

proper wyvern
#

Got it

#

Might prop up CS again to finish my stupidity

past shuttle
#

I don't exactly know when you actually get the coordinates of that stash

proper wyvern
#

I should of NOT attacked those bandits in the garbage, now I'm stuck getting grenadiered by them... I swear to god, they throw more grenades

past shuttle
#

I always get it after completing the lab mission though

#

I'm talking about SoC by the way

proper wyvern
#

I wanna do that "kill the master Stalker" job by the info guy in the bar in SoC.... It's a master ranked stalker

#

No thanks

past shuttle
#

Clear sky is easy

#

With mods, super easy

proper wyvern
#

Just chilling on Master

#

I honestly can't tell if the difficulty myth is true

past shuttle
#

Some say it has been proven false

proper wyvern
#

And I'm far too way into the game to change it

past shuttle
#

You can change the settings in-game

proper wyvern
#

I know but I'm used to the difficulty

#

So changing it back and forth would just weird out my brain

#

Still, can't tell if Master made it easier and less bullet spongey. Eh, loot is loot

#

Even if they give me like 3 9x18mm rounds

#

Despite using 9mm thank you

finite dragon
#

easy difficulty makes enemy feels like sponge

#

enemies still ok with a double barrel

past shuttle
#

Easy = hard, master = super easy

finite dragon
#

I'm using a mod that makes everything dies with one shot

#

even me

proper wyvern
#

The mad lad

finite dragon
#

makes the game feel realistic dodging those bullet from chernobyl npp and trying to rush into the sarcophagus

past shuttle
#

smile_scar Great

mighty compass
#

Yk i haven't used a single mod

#

And when I did use mods my game didn't want to load any more

quick dune
#

sucks

mighty compass
#

Okay

#

So I think I'm fricked

#

Everytime I get a blowout

#

Is that normal

tired anvil
#

What game you playing?

mighty compass
#

SoC

#

Well he did just half die

final raptor
#

I noticed these interesting roles like "explorer," "artifact hunter" or "sidovorich." How do you get these?

finite dragon
#

Guys

#

I just wanted to tell you i got a mission from a client to investigate the monolith structure

#

So it would take me 3 days so yeah

#

I will stay connected

The Security Service of Ukraine is calling all right-minded and loyal citizens to collaborate with the authorities. Report all known cases of stalking! Do not let the looters hide behind your backs! They bring radioactive, unidentified items from the Zone that are highly dangerous for human health and life! Only with your help can we eliminate this hideous phenomenon! Do not put your lives and the lives of your families at risk for the sake of dubious profit!

final raptor
#

Also, if you really wanna join Duty or whatever faction you want

#

Choose wisely

fair crater
#

i dont

#

bet you didnt see that coming

final raptor
#

Well, I didn't think you would promote a faction you don't like

verbal hemlock
#

It’s always Duty vs. Freedom, never Duty and Freedom

final raptor
#

or you can play with both sides and always benefit

well yes

That’s what I’m saying

final raptor
#

okay

true sigil
#

Hey fellas

#

Is it weird that when I first played SOC, I thought Sidorovich had a bucket of fried chicken and my first thought was "you gonna share?"

final raptor
#

Sounds completely fine to me

sand oar
true sigil
#

Lol

sand oar
#

I was gonna say

#

The single most detailed item

#

Is chicken

#

Big game is partnering with big fast food?

true sigil
#

And the most food ya get in game is bread, bologna, a can of mystery meat (probs tuna), and monster energy drink... oh, and vodka, can't forget that

#

Medkits don't really count unless they're filled with Flintstones gummy vitamins

sand oar
#

Mystery meat reminds me of my 2 years of school before I was homeschooled, the meat always looked the same but tasted different

#

And not a good different

#

You'd rather go hungry and wait till you went home

true sigil
#

Where did you live?

sand oar
#

Used to be massachusetts

#

I live in Maine now @true sigil

true sigil
#

I see. I'm in Florida, though moved all around.

sand oar
#

This is my only move so far

#

One thing I do like is there's a lot more metalheads here than where I was living before

true sigil
#

One thing I was pondering. Is the Call of Chernobyl mod compatible with the Steam release of Call of Pripyat?

tired anvil
#

Yes

#

Why wouldn't it be?

sand oar
#

Idk about mods if call of chernobyl is meant for pripyat then yes

tired anvil
#

It's for CoP, yea

grand pendant
#

CoC is standalone, you don't even need CoP at the end of the day. In case you don't have CoP installed there's just 1 extra step needed

final raptor
#

how y'all doin?

hushed aurora
#

Could be worse, what about you

final raptor
#

im fine, sippin ice tea and just chilling

#

its 8 pm here

#

nice, cold night

#

i like it

hushed aurora
#

It's 3pm here, pretty warm

final raptor
#

sounds cool, too

#

i really like this server, people talking about their favourite lifestyle - stalker, noone is toxic here, at least i haven't met anyone so far

hushed aurora
#

noone is toxic here,
Welp, this place does have some not nice moments sometimes zak , but most of the time it is nice

final raptor
#

well, there is always someone i guess

#

but hey

#

i enjoy it here

finite dragon
#

Oh crap! I'm a sitting duck here, just what am i waiting for eh?

proper wyvern
final raptor
#

well, in Clear Sky, they are quite a faction

proper wyvern
#

Yes and no
They may look like a faction, but are not a faction

#

Now all the bandits hate me in CS, I didn't think that through properly when I joined the Loners

final raptor
#

Well, I am aware of them not being a proper faction, as they don't have a leader

#

Maybe Father Valerian, but he's more like

#

Local base leader

proper wyvern
#

almost all loners have a set of groups in each area within The Zone, like barkeeper at that ship in CoP

#

is it barkeeper or barkeep?

#

I didn't play CoP

grand pendant
#

Mercs, Bandits, Renegades and Mutants aren't factions either, the game handles them like that shrugm

#

it's Beard

final raptor
#

yeah, they just have their own squads and bosses

#

Barkeeper is in Rostok

grand pendant
#

that one is just Barkeep

final raptor
#

oh

#

okay

quick dune
#

i think they mean that stalkers are generic people that don’t have a real point or a leader in the zone

final raptor
#

just making money and surviving

proper wyvern
quick dune
#

trying to get rich by selling artifacts and doing jobs

final raptor
#

Like Strelok's group, but less powerful

#

and there is a lot of them so

#

yeah

#

Which way of making money is your favourite?

#

Bounties? Artifacts? Courier jobs?

#

and such

proper wyvern
#

Artifacts

#

Less trouble

final raptor
#

@grand pendant I noticed you have a "sidorovich" role, others have "explorer" or "artifact hunter" and so on, how do you get these?

grand pendant
#

you can't get them anymore, sadly

final raptor
grand pendant
#

Sidorovich role is related to moderation

final raptor
#

oh

#

I see

#

What happened with the roles?

grand pendant
#

they're still here, but the possibility to get them through a bot isn't shrugm

final raptor
#

Yeah but

#

Why not?

grand pendant
#

no idea, maybe @tired anvil knows. Probably no particular reason

tired anvil
#

Think they were sorta in mind when RP was still sort of considered here to show who was more experience and stuff. Once the RP side of things got canned here, so did the possibility of those roles

final raptor
#

Oh

#

Okay

#

I think it would be nice to get them back

#

And create rp channel for it

#

I enjoy roleplaying

#

@finite dragon this guys likes roleplaying too for sure

#

but yeah, I get it

#

It just eventually becomes pointless

#

I think they could be used as some sort of secret achievements

#

Explorer, like writing multiple messages to every channel possible, excludes different languages

#

And people just wouldn't know, but it would be cool to just find these

#

Idk, just tossing my thoughts

quick dune
#

i play soc with autumn aurora and i have never seen an artifact on the ground

final raptor
#

Interesting

quick dune
#

you have artifact detectors but i didn't use them much

final raptor
#

Well, artifact detector is important

quick dune
#

it's kinda weird to keep it in your hands at all times

final raptor
#

as some artifacts stay invisible until you spot them with it

#

I know

quick dune
#

it also beeps when finding an anomaly

#

so i got confused

final raptor
#

yeah

quick dune
#

i might use it more often

proper wyvern
#

Wait, SoC has artefact detectors?

#

All I hear is incessant beeping when I get close

quick dune
#

with autumn aurora yes

proper wyvern
#

Oh, mod?

quick dune
#

yep

proper wyvern
#

Ah ok

quick dune
#

i played vanilla till the ecologist evacuation mission but after i got a new pc i installed autumn aurora

#

and i'm at the same stage rn

proper wyvern
#

Imma finish the game vanilla before I get mods, and finish CS

grand pendant
quick dune
#

beeping things

grand pendant
#

an artifact detector lets you also detect radiation and anomalies. So the beeping is the detector

quick dune
#

yea

proper wyvern
#

I can tell

quick dune
#

u get physical with mods

#

and not some random beeps in ur head

proper wyvern
#

Headcanon is just Strelok attaches a detector to his belt and leaves it on as he trudges around the zone

#

Explains the incessant beeping in the head

#

And the ticks

quick dune
#

yea that would kinda make sense

#

but what would make the game harder is if he didn't get those at the start

#

so he either has to buy those or scavenge

tired anvil
quick dune
#

cool

proper wyvern
#

Wonder how frequent the emissions are in stalker 2

#

And how big the zone is now, do we have a confirmed date in what time Stalker 2 plays in?

grand pendant
#

nah

#

just that it is a sequel

proper wyvern
#

Welp

grand pendant
#

not sure if that sequel even applies to after CoP

quick dune
#

sequel to all three games?

proper wyvern
#

Well, at least it's coming out this year but I won't get my hopes up just yet

tired anvil
#

Never confirmed to come out this year

proper wyvern
#

Wait what, those buggers lied to me

tired anvil
#

Who?

proper wyvern
#

This was last year so I forgot

grand pendant
#

they probably just got confused

tired anvil
#

Or was another case of cipher misunderstanding

quick dune
#

i also found an article once saying that gsc cancelled stalker 2

proper wyvern
#

sigh well, Imma steal the bandit's "bread"

tired anvil
#

I'll guess that article is from 2012

proper wyvern
#

SoC, the only time I found bread and edibles

quick dune
#

exactly

tired anvil
quick dune
#

it was this

tired anvil
#

Welp, still 2012, so no wonder

quick dune
#

yea

tired anvil
#

As that was when it got cancelled

quick dune
#

weird

proper wyvern
#

Remember the centre of the zone is probably not the Chernobyl NPP

grand pendant
#

the Center is the CNPP

proper wyvern
#

I was reading the SoC files and it said the blast of energy that created the zone (Take that with a grain of salt) was 1.5 klicks from the Cherno NPP

quick dune
#

northern part of the zone is the center

grand pendant
#

Khaletskiy mentions satellites saying the Center is the CNPP

proper wyvern
#

Hm, man do I love the lore for this series sometimes

grand pendant
#

History of the Zone said half a km away from the CNPP tho

proper wyvern
#

Is it too late to say I'm an idiot?

grand pendant
#

you're already smarter than most for reading PDA entries shrugm

proper wyvern
#

Eh

verbal hemlock
#

The center as it’s interpreted by everyone is the CNPP

#

and when it’s interpreted as everyone as such, that’s what it is

grand pendant
#

in SoC it is interpreted as North

#

and they're wrong kot_troll

Jeff bezos?

quick dune
#

i heard of gordon freeman in stalker but is jeff bezos in there too

proper wyvern
#

how do you think we keep getting bread into The Zone

quick dune
#

someone bakes it

#

i don't think jeff has a bakery in the zone

proper wyvern
#

Nah nah, he uses his drone fleet to drop bread

#

into The Zone

quick dune
#

where's the gas mask and helmet i ordered from amazon then

proper wyvern
#

Bandits stole it

quick dune
#

i want money back

proper wyvern
#

ask Sidorovich

quick dune
#

scammer won't give me money anyways

proper wyvern
#

unless you do job for Sidorovich, maybe

quick dune
#

he tells me to get some stupid rare artifacts for only 5k roubles

proper wyvern
#

I need Rubles

mighty compass
#

they need to add 100 more guitars songs in stalker 2 tho

proper wyvern
#

Give them a harmonica and whistling even, hell. Imagine if one of the stalkers have a banjo

finite dragon
#

like I literally cant enter garbage because EVERY TIME I do there is one

just hide

I cant hide because when I do it creates another goddamn emission

I can sneak in any place without being undetected

In 2011 i sneak in to the dark valley and steal some guns from freedom without being undetected

so u were detected?

I killed at least 10 stalkers a day

you can sneak into any place being detected

Iirc you get a free suit, so yeah

is it better than monolith suit

Can't remember if you get the orange one or the green one, the green one is defo better than the monolith suit iirc

You get the green one from doing X16? hmm_cheeki

Can't remember rn

O, knew it

I'd prefer millitary armor over it

hushed aurora

The orange one sucks, the green one is alright, i just confused one with the other

past shuttle
#

The green one isn't much different from the orange suit

Scientist suits aren't for figthing in the zone

Just go and compare Stalker suit (Sunrise) with one of the scientist suits

Stalker suit tops it

Bulletproof protection and rupture

For some reason i remember the green one being good but ig i'll have to check

The only two protections I care for in SoC

Others don't matter much

Exoskeleton is the best armor, but it slows you down

The only negative side of it

You get armor in the game in one way or another

You get 4 minutes anyway in the lab

scientist suits are for exploring more than fighting

No way I can't be remembering it right

#

It is 4 minutes

With upgraded prototype

#

@leaden hamlet Or are you saying you have never played master difficulty? Just kidding smile_strelok

leaden hamlet
#

Don't think I've ever played SOC on anything else for a while now. 😁
Ah well, I could've sworn I'd usually finish with like 5 minutes left.

past shuttle
#

5 minutes left?

#

The game gives you time depending on the difficulty then

#

Very interesting

#

I only played in master

#

Even with the upgraded prototype, it only gave me 4 minutes

leaden hamlet
#

Just how I remember it, not exactly saying I'm right. 😝

past shuttle
#

Stonks

#

Imagine the game giving you 10 minutes straight just to kill a few zombies and turn off the switches

#

I think even 90 seconds is enough

forest parcel
#

Zombies have such poor aim you can probably just sprint past them.

past shuttle
#

In SoC, they are hard to kill

#

Unless you use 9x39 caliber weapons

forest parcel
#

2 head shots with any weapon kill them, no?

past shuttle
#

Not every time

#

Sometimes it takes 3-5 headshots

forest parcel
#

Actually, yeah, might be so.

past shuttle
#

Believe me, I had the experience

#

They become so annoying

forest parcel
#

And then they start humping the air.

#

And hump themselves back to life if you don't shooty their booty.

past shuttle
#

Yeah

Clear Sky on the other hand is just...

#

Well, it's Clear Sky.

Some say the whole faction itself is just about a simulation

i finished soc again

time to play it again

i just want to get the other bad ending but i keep getting the rich ending. i know you weren't suppose to go to wish granter but I'm just trying to know what ending i will get other than rich ending

btw, i finished soc for the third time
