Look at anything you possibly can if you want to get into this franchise you're more than welcome we all most of us really want new people to enjoy the game and I'm pretty sure the devs and the the game studio and everyone else wants everyone to enjoy it

waxen crypt
#

I think YouTube videos are my best bet because I have a hard time reading (I have dyslexia)

tulip maple
#

@waxen crypt oh a little pointer for you yeah I have dyslexic too one little pointer for you make sure you get headshots if you're going to go until fight try to get as many headshots as you can because it's instant death

#

But just remember to that you can also get killed as well with a headshot

#

It goes both ways

waxen crypt
#

Damn. That’s consistent

tulip maple
#

Yes make sure you get headshots as much as you possibly can

waxen crypt
#

It’s usually the enemy that dies in one shot headshot

bronze swift
#

Yo can some help me with CoP?

tulip maple
#

But that also depends on the enemy to

waxen crypt
#

True.

tulip maple
#

Some of them are armored that have exoskeletons and stuff that you have to break through

waxen crypt
#

Like the bulldozers in Payday 2

tulip maple
#

If I remember right the Gauss rifles a one-hit-kill no matter what does it matter where you hit them they're dead

#

Yeah

#

What's up rad

#

@bronze swift

waxen crypt
#

Payday 2 was that last old-ish game I really got into and want to do the same with Stalker

bronze swift
#

an NPC is glitching so I can't talk to them to finish the quest

tulip maple
#

@waxen crypt well the only thing I can tell you bro is if you're going to get into the series you're going to have a lot of fun

bronze swift
#

They keep going into a crouching state and standing up

tulip maple
#

@bronze swift reload from a previous save

bronze swift
#

But then I have to do it all again

#

The last time I quick saved was a while ago

waxen crypt
#

Oof

tulip maple
#

Oh great yeah always quick quick save

bronze swift
#

I press the quicksave button every 5 seconds

waxen crypt
#

That I need to take advantage of in this type of game

bronze swift
#

I even bounded it to a mouse button

#

But I forgot to

tulip maple
#

@waxen crypt that was another thing with that too you have to Quick sip I don't know what they're going to do with the console version

bronze swift
#

So

#

I'm facked

tulip maple
#

Yeah that might look like it

#

You made a boo-boo

waxen crypt
#

Is the OG stalker games PC only?

tulip maple
#

Yes they are only PC

#

Stalker 2 is the only one that's coming out to console and PC for Xbox

bronze swift
#

Lmao

tulip maple
#

For right now PC and Xbox

bronze swift
#

Does anyone know how I can hold more weight

waxen crypt
#

Yeah when I originally heard the stalker name in a 4chan Green text video. I am mediately thought it was a PC only game. It sounded like

bronze swift
#

I hate how I always overload

modest current
#

seriously lol

tulip maple
#

@bronze swift you got to find the artifacts

bronze swift
#

Like I can't kill 2 bandits without needing to limp home

bronze swift
tulip maple
#

Or get an exosuit

bronze swift
#

And when I use an artifact I die of Chernobyl boom boom air

tulip maple
#

Mmmmmm

#

Google it

waxen crypt
#

Yeah I’m weird. Hell. A 4chan green text video got me into Payday 2 by playing one of its sound track song. Maybe the same thing can happen with Stalker

bronze swift
tulip maple
#

Yea

#

You should be able to get a cheap exo-suit for that or a little bit cheaper

#

@waxen crypt just watch some stalker videos tonight get caught up on the lore and what's been going on it in the games

#

@bronze swift I'm you should be able to pick one up for at least 50 60,000

bronze swift
#

From where

#

I haven't gotten to Pripyat yet btw

tulip maple
#

@bronze swift The Gravi is the artifact

waxen crypt
#

Before I go. Any good play throughs you suggested? @tulip maple

tulip maple
#

Anything that has to do with clear sky shows at Chernobyl stuff like that I anomaly yeah definitely is a good one to watch

#

The ones that's going to help you the most out is if you watch the three stalker games and then watch anomaly

waxen crypt
#

Like specific YouTuber

tulip maple
#

Anomaly is a mod

#

I'm hanging out with me. I'm up real quick

#

I'll DM you

bronze swift
#

@tulip maple where can I buy an exosuit

tulip maple
#

Ummmm

#

@bronze swift It's cheaper at the bar where it will be sold after Yantar and the Red Forest / Brain Scorcher mission. Can be occasionally purchased from the Barkeep. More are located on the rooftops of the Chernobyl NPP, inside the Sarcophagus, and in the Monolith Control Center.

#

Or kill some one that has one on make sure u get the battery

red tulip
#

Nope.

Not_A_Seagull#9051 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

#

I mean the X-ray mods

static compass
crimson tinsel
#

I have a random thought

#

Since Tremor suffered hemoglobin addiction you'd probably want to import hematogen candies into the zone

#

(they contain the components identical to the red blood cells contents)

#

Those are popular candies in post-USSR countries

#

They are my favorite

bronze swift
#

Btw I found a PDA on a body of a Merc that has a hit on me, by a guy called Morgan, who's that?

crimson tinsel
#

you can't steal armor from fallen stalkers

#

🤨

bronze swift
#

Thought so lmao

#

Btw

#

Idrk how to get artifacts, like I just run around til I find one, and which detector should I use@crimson tinsel

knotty sedge
#

Bear, Veles, or Svarog if you can

crimson tinsel
#

Veles - in CS

#

they're equally good at finding artifacts since the svarog differs from veles only with the additional function of anomaly radar

#

Bear is the best bet in early game though

#

Which part of Stalker are you playing though?

#

In CoP artifacts really do generate in anomaly clusters and sometimes they just roll around casually

stark steppe
#

Whats the svarog?

crimson tinsel
#

so while you go for long trips you can hold your detector

crimson tinsel
#

the finest one to be exact

stark steppe
#

Never heard of it, is it a unique one?

crimson tinsel
#

It's in CoP

#

Not in CS though

stark steppe
#

It sounds unique i thought veles was the highest you could get in all the games

crimson tinsel
#

It isn't unique you can get from beard after you complete certain tasks

stark steppe
#

huh

crimson tinsel
#

or you can get from the scientists

bronze swift
#

@crimson tinsel Im playing cop

#

I'm using the bear one

#

Cuz it points me towards it

crimson tinsel
#

THere arent many detectors

#

Only the echo, bear, veles and svarog

#

the last two are identical regarding the ability to find arts

#

but svarog has the anomaly radar

bronze swift
#

I have the veles

#

Does it point me towards artifacts??

crimson tinsel
#

it is better than bear

#

use it

#

it shows both direction and distance

bronze swift
#

Huh ok

#

Also

#

I found a Merc pda

#

With a hit on me

#

Is that a quest or smt

crimson tinsel
#

probably

#

Owl values such pdas

#

aka the Sych

bronze swift
#

Whats the sych

crimson tinsel
#

A merchant in Zaton

bronze swift
#

Oh him

#

The one that tells me to get out while I'm leaving

crimson tinsel
#

yes

bronze swift
#

I hate that voice line

#

How can I use an artifact without dying btw

#

I always start losing health

crimson tinsel
#

Equip artifact_jellyfish

#

With this

bronze swift
#

How do I get the jellyfish

crimson tinsel
#

Most arts are radioactive and rise your iradiation level

#

Jellyfish are common

#

also you can use similar arts that reduce radiation

bronze swift
#

Are arts native to certain places?

crimson tinsel
#

some are

bronze swift
#

Its the compass rare?

#

Also what's up with the cooling tower?

crimson tinsel
#

compass is unique

#

and it a quest item

bronze swift
#

I got 2 of em

#

Idk how

bronze swift
crimson tinsel
#

there's an anomaly i think

bronze swift
#

There's people saying they need help

#

How do I get in

crimson tinsel
#

you can't

#

sadly

#

but if you come to the bubble anomaly with svarog detector in your hand the comedy starts

bronze swift
#

Wdym

crimson tinsel
#

the anomaly will break

#

||the duty squad will break free from the space anomaly but it's too late since they're long dead so their bodies will just fall||

bronze swift
#

Dam

#

Btw is there anything special at the Jupiter plant

crimson tinsel
#

Very special

bronze swift
#

Like what

crimson tinsel
#

essentially main quest items

#

that are necessary for progress

#

I think

bronze swift
#

Should I just run in there

crimson tinsel
#

Try it

#

Hard to navigate in Jupiter though

bronze swift
#

Bcs u said I should that means I prolly shouldn't

crimson tinsel
#

Oh I think you might also find tools for that one mechanic

#

i forgot his name

bronze swift
#

Is it weird that I still have the pm that you get at the begginging of the game in my inv

crimson tinsel
#

It's abundant

bronze swift
#

Yeah but

crimson tinsel
#

You should sell this junk

bronze swift
#

It says honorary pm

#

Sooo

crimson tinsel
#

I think that's a quest item

#

oh wait

bronze swift
#

Nah it's the one I started with

crimson tinsel
#

yeah that's a junk

bronze swift
#

It says

crimson tinsel
#

that's a normal PMm with an unique name

bronze swift
#

An ancient pmm received by degtyarev as a reward for successful execution..ect

crimson tinsel
#

But it's more durable

bronze swift
#

Yeh well

#

Its a monument

#

For me

#

It only weighs less than half a kilo

crimson tinsel
#

I usually replace it with another weapon

bronze swift
#

I don't use it

#

I just have it in my inv

crimson tinsel
#

You can use 2 primary weapons in CoP

bronze swift
#

I do

crimson tinsel
#

Good

#

have you played other parts of STALKER series?

bronze swift
#

A saiga and an aks74n

crimson tinsel
#

the other parts are vastly different from CoP

bronze swift
#

How?

crimson tinsel
#

you can't equip two primary weapons

bronze swift
#

Dam

crimson tinsel
#

you can equip a primary weapon and a pistol

bronze swift
#

Mhm

#

What else

crimson tinsel
#

medkits instantly heal

bronze swift
#

Cool

crimson tinsel
#

SoC doesnt have detectors but arts are always visible

bronze swift
#

Btw

crimson tinsel
#

and have different properties

bronze swift
#

Should I go to the Jupiter plant rn?

#

I think I need better armor

crimson tinsel
#

I dont remember how many dangers are there

bronze swift
#

I still have a sunrise bodysuit

bronze swift
crimson tinsel
#

Uhh

#

just bunch of bandits and mutants

bronze swift
#

Ok

delicate sparrow
#

15 chimeras

crimson tinsel
#

if you have scientist's mission also mercs

delicate sparrow
#

you die now

crimson tinsel
#

15 chimeras

bronze swift
#

Actually?

crimson tinsel
#

wtf

bronze swift
#

Fak

crimson tinsel
#

No

bronze swift
#

Lol

#

Where can I get some good armor btw

crimson tinsel
#

I think you encounter 2-3 chimeras in the game

bronze swift
#

I still have early game armor

crimson tinsel
bronze swift
#

How?

#

I bought it in the first area

crimson tinsel
#

before you go to jupiter factory you cant get better armor than this

#

i think

... Geophysical Observatory about the "abnormally fast formation of the storm derecho" over the CNPP area. While informing the operational forces via radio communication, the radio broadcast was gradually filled with white noise until it was completely impossible to communicate at 11:21. It was immediately followed by a storm-like explosion of unclassified nature with a probable epicenter on the CNPP site, visually recorded at all checkpoints up to 40 km away. Communication with the operational forces inside the perimeter was resumed at 15:44.
Based on the data received from the operational forces personnel within a day of radio communication being re-established, the authorised coordination headquarters of the operation decided to acknowledge the failure of the operation on September 18, 2006 as a result of numerous losses of personnel and lack of information about the status of the charge and doubts about its location on the territory of the CEZ. Also, in order to further minimize losses of the personnel from the certified threats, the order of the Ministry of the Interior №2 dated 19.09.2006 prohibited the organization of evacuation of victims from the territory of the CEZ. A proposal was put forward to create a "Chernobyl Anomaly Zone" with a reinforced perimeter at a fixed distance from the Chernobyl NPP and the corresponding control-organizing state services in order to completely isolate the territory.

... we don't have enough raw data, we must continue experimental works
Suslov: By way of objection Doctor Kaymanov has words to say.
Kaymanov: We started to design synchrophasotron back in old times without an assignment and without knowing how to do so. You can't oppose scientific researchs and engineering works.
Saltykov: We don't have bases close to the continental part of the USA, but the task of early detection of an ICBM launch from the territory of the main enemy has been done by DUGA-1 since 1971, a prototype of OTH in Nikolaevo, and it's done succesfully
Ratmansky: Partly...
Saltykov: I'll continue. That's why I would set a task of suppression the launch rather than late response to it. Realization of such task for our country is vitally, extremely important. That's why, despite the lack of many raw data, we need to take the risk and create a prototype. I ask you to make every effort and provide resources to continue the work on the project near the CNPP.

Lore dump? 👀

gusty trench
#

@finite dragon Check this out

crimson tinsel
#

This is mandatory quest so

#

or you can order something from Nimble

#

But it's expensive

#

the cheapest you have to pay for armor is 30k

#

theoretically you can buy exoskeleton from Nimble before you even progress to Yanov

#

Good luck earning 60k rub though

blazing surge

SUSlov

craggy jewel
#

im sure by now everyone has seen that unreal animation, it was great

#

why we cant curse in a server of a rated M game i don't know lmao

wide aspen
#

@bronze swift in jupiter all i found was dogs and after i got a document some mercs attacked me like about 7 or 6

#

i didn't see any bloodsuckers

#

oh and psudogs

finite dragon
#

is this gonna have cooperative?

gusty trench
wide aspen
#

yeah but what is it about i didn't understand

gusty trench
#

It's lore of the Stalker series.

wide aspen
#

oh

gusty trench
#

But most importantly - S2

wide aspen
#

then i will read them

#

thanks

gusty trench
#

It's about the new faction Ward, cooperation of Ward, Freedom, Duty and UA army, Kaymanov emitter and etc...

wide aspen
#

intresting

finite dragon
#

UA Army?

gusty trench
#

Ukrainian (UA)

finite dragon
#

ah

#

my faction

#

the Military in the other games was Ukrainian too yes?

craggy jewel
#

interesting to see because there seems to be some small themes of coop be it ai companion or another player being a central point to the them, maybe even the ability to tame pseudodogs

gusty trench
craggy jewel
#

there was an image on the s2 website titled "good company" featuring a stalker, ecologist and pseudodog, so i think having companions will be a relatively important gameplay mechanic, especially if theyre going a realistic route

wide aspen
#

yo guys i just want to ask what is the language that monolithians use

craggy jewel
#

its russian/ukranian like everyone else isnt it?

wide aspen
#

i dunu cuz when i completed soc i didn't know wtf was that monolith crystal saying to me

#

or other monolithians that were screaming

craggy jewel
#

yeah it was russian/Ukrainian nothing fancy like latin or something

wide aspen
#

ok, thanks

crimson tinsel
#

It was Russian

craggy jewel
#

theres a couple translation videos on youtube, mostly everyone knows ide ko mne which is come to me

crimson tinsel
#

The monolith voice is ominous

craggy jewel
#

i pray to got they keep the old psy hallucination voices, they were perfect

finite dragon
#

Russian

wide aspen
#

then i found the door and yeah

#

i got all endings

crimson tinsel
#

"I can see what you long for. Come to me"

finite dragon
#

yeah

#

It's in Russian

crimson tinsel
#

"You will get what you deserve"

finite dragon
#

oh how true, I did get what I deserved

crimson tinsel
#

"Only one wish shall be granted"

craggy jewel
#

i still find it hilarious, without the concept of the monolith being designed to kill/maim to stop people from getting to the c consciousness, that you somehow deserved to die because you got 50,000 roubles, roughly $2 usd (sarcasm)

crimson tinsel
#

Df

#

50k rubles for 2 usd

#

That's very big inflation

craggy jewel
#

the joke is rubles are very inflated i think 50k is a couple hundred bucks

wide aspen
#

the money ending is the first ending i got i was so sad

crimson tinsel
#

80 ruble is around 1 usd

wide aspen
#

then i knew other endings were there

#

i helped the group is what my choice was

craggy jewel
#

~$680 is 50k rubles with modern values

crimson tinsel
#

yeah

wide aspen
#

but im still confused how we find strelok in cop

finite dragon
crimson tinsel
#

but look at the timeline in STALKER

craggy jewel
#

yeah im sure theres more purchasing power there

crimson tinsel
#

and that STALKER is in alternate reality from us

craggy jewel
#

werent vss around 100k new in soc?

crimson tinsel
#

vintar vs costs 12k?

finite dragon
#

I hope they have M4A1 and M16A4 and other NATO weapons too

craggy jewel
#

its been a while since i played, dont really remember the prices

crimson tinsel
#

50k is a lot in SoC

craggy jewel
#

due to there only being like 35 weapons i think they may have like one m4 variant

crimson tinsel
#

That's exact price of exo

craggy jewel
#

yeah roubles had to have a lot more purchasing power in stalker

crimson tinsel
#

nvm

#

exo costs 200k in SoC

#

But in other games it is a lot cheaper

craggy jewel
#

hmm

crimson tinsel
#

in SoC however you get money super easily

craggy jewel
#

also one thing, if they make the svd have a slow fire rate im going to be very upset, it is not a sniper rifle with a giant recoil impulse, it fires a BR cartridge i have seen people torch off those mags like nothing

#

just give it a weird recoil pattern and let us spam it

finite dragon
#

I mean

#

7,62x54R is a lot hotter than .308

#

and Battle rifles were moved away from because recoil in full auto was uncontrollable

craggy jewel
#

the svd has a lot longer of a barrel and was designed to have a flat controllable recoil pattern and impulse, for how big that cartridge is, it is a very controllable gun

#

and video games like to pretend its some big unwieldy railgun, like nah you can torch off an svd magazine with some degree of accuracy as if it were a battle rifle (its intended purpose)

finite dragon
#

I mean maybe? Even my M16A4 that I got in the Marine Corps on Burst fire was barely controllable and that's only 5.56x45mm NATO

crimson tinsel
#

isnt svd a dmr?

finite dragon
#

no

#

it's not that precise of a weapon

#

Max effective range with any semblance of accuracy is like uhhh 650ish meters

craggy jewel
#

with the right ammo it can do 800 meters at 1 ish moa, the myth its only good to 650 was perpetuated by bad american ammo

#

its more a battle rifle dressed up as a sniper

#

7.62 nato svd but same concept, flat controllable gun

crimson tinsel
#

max effective range is 1200

#

duh

craggy jewel
#

thats max overall range

#

effective is 800

finite dragon
#

WITH good ammo

gusty trench
craggy jewel
#

after 800 youre off the rangefinder and your accuracy suffers a ton

gusty trench
#

And they have a different value

finite dragon
#

you lose almost all terminal performance at like 150 - 200

#

not even with MK262 or MK318

craggy jewel
#

yeah max effective for an m4 is 400 high end, but theyre all capable of sending rounds around a kilometer, not with any degree of accuracy but like you know what i mean

crimson tinsel
#

ffs

#

russian wikipedia data differs from english wikipedia data

finite dragon
#

more like 200 and that's pushing it. you need 2400 FPS to be properly fragmenting rounds and you drop below that at around 150 with a 14.5" barrel M4A1

#

the M16 with a 20" barrel only will reliably fragment rounds at like 250

craggy jewel
#

there are airsoft guns that can shoot 90 meters, youre saying something with thousands of times the energy can only shoot double that distance

finite dragon
#

I've shot one.

#

yes

crimson tinsel
#

heavier bullets

finite dragon
#

Doesn't matter

#

you can only go so heavy

finite dragon
#

those are 77 grain projectiles and OTM

crimson tinsel
#

compare a lead bullet with a plastic ball

craggy jewel
#

i think you may be underestimating the range of an m4 a bit, its no sniper but 150 meters is like, no

finite dragon
#

I'm not, and I will prove it

coarse reef
#

What guns don't hitscan irl?

#

Wtf

craggy jewel
#

maybe with no adjustment for elevation yeah, but if youre using elevation like you should outside of point and shoot range you should be able to reach 400m with relative ease

crimson tinsel
#

peanuts

finite dragon
#

now let me go find it's velocity recording at 200 meters

crimson tinsel
#

kinetic energy and air drag

coarse reef
#

3100 frames per second dayum

craggy jewel
#

shooting 5.56 at 800m

crimson tinsel
#

M4's are old

craggy jewel
#

with a shorter barrel

finite dragon
crimson tinsel
#

So are M16

finite dragon
#

like I said

craggy jewel
#

are we talking about piercing body armor here or are you saying an m4 wont kill at 250m

crimson tinsel
#

Vietnam war era weapons

finite dragon
#

it's not that it wont kill

#

it's that it will be extremely difficult to do so

crimson tinsel
#

Imagine bolter in STALKER

craggy jewel
#

pretty sure even at that range youre getting a lot of flesh cavitation and is still capable of damaging internal organs, yawing and fragmentation isnt the only thing that kills

finite dragon
#

bruh this is literally my area of expertise

#

it's why M855 sucks

#

it's why the Army moved to M855A1

#

it's also why they're thinking of ditching it entirely in favor of 6.8 SPC II

#

because it sucks

craggy jewel
#

aight bruh if you say so but my original comment was about effective range not fragmentation range, effective range is about accuracy not lethality

finite dragon
#

Yes you can more than easily hit that far

#

it will be difficult but you CAN do it I suppose

crimson tinsel
#

Lethality isn't that important

#

Unless you really need someone dead

finite dragon
#

it really is

#

you're taking a 5.56 which causes massive damage when it's operating under nominal conditions. and turning it into a .22 LR plinkster

crimson tinsel
#

Incapacitation of personnel will be probably enough than outright killing it

finite dragon
#

you aren't gonna incapacitate with .22 lr holes

#

is the issue

crimson tinsel
#

depends

#

But yeah

finite dragon
#

several instances of people being shot upwards of 15 times with 5.56 at extended ranges and still returning fire

#

in Afghanistan and Iraq

crimson tinsel
#

can't do jack sh against armored personnel

finite dragon
#

AP4 will

#

so will M995

#

53 or 52 grain Tungsten core 5.56

#

though I 100% would rather a different caliber if I'm trying to defeat armor

crimson tinsel
#

Stalker becomes warhammer 40k once you get exoskeleton

craggy jewel
#

anyways my og point is games need to stop nerfing the svd and making it unenjoyable to shoot, biggest pet peeve is knowing you can semi fire svds as quick as you want to, with accuracy especially at ranges in which youd be firing an svd so fast

#

they often completely mute the point of the svd which is be a battle rifle and a dmr

finite dragon
#

I will agree that devs shouldn't hard cap a weapons ROF just because it's more powerful

#

the SVD iirc has a similar cyclic rate to an AKM

craggy jewel
#

exactly

crimson tinsel
#

Game balance

finite dragon
crimson tinsel
#

If SVD becomes fast firing

#

then what will Vintar do?

finite dragon
#

um be an integrally suppressed ghost gun?

craggy jewel
#

just balance it out with recoil, the thing is with that cartridge firing so fast is only accurate at a closer range

crimson tinsel
#

The niche of fast firing sniper is occupied

craggy jewel
#

and the niche of slow firing semi auto snipers is often filled by the gauss gun or other big caliber guns in stalker

crimson tinsel
#

Gauss rifle is endgame

finite dragon
#

I tend to stick with the conventional weapons even when I get access to Gauss or High caliber weapons strictly due to ammunition accessibility

craggy jewel
#

^

#

for the atmosphere too, not into the gauss rifle

crimson tinsel
#

Gauss is completely absent in CS

finite dragon
#

Didn't even notice that ngl

#

I care so little about that gun

#

give me an AK or an M4

#

problems will get solved, and they'll stay solved

craggy jewel
#

i also dont think games should have hard filled niches that can only be filled by one weapon, there are a million assault rifles and smgs

#

the svd could fit in with a realistic firing rate considering it is unsuppressed and wieldy as far as handling goes

finite dragon

and literally each one does a different job

crimson tinsel
#

there can be a gradient of niches

#

but why

finite dragon
#

options

#

and I like guns

crimson tinsel
#

modelling a weapon takes ages

finite dragon
#

a lot

craggy jewel
#

and i also like guns alot especially svd chan

crimson tinsel
#

svd chan

gun gang rise up

finite dragon
#

I am rising!

crimson tinsel
#

Hey apple

#

What?

#

Knife

#

Kills tank with a knife

finite dragon
craggy jewel
#

also the vintar bc being a sniper rifle is a massive stretch, myth perpetuated by stalker

#

is it a sneaky gun? yes

crimson tinsel
#

vintar vs is my favorite sniper rifle

#

not overkill

#

and silent

knotty sedge
crimson tinsel
#

very accurate

craggy jewel
#

does it have a range further than any regular assault rifle? no, it fires subsonic 9mm, that is just an assault rifle that is integreally suppressed, that the devs stuck a pso-1 to

knotty sedge
finite dragon
finite dragon
craggy jewel
#

vintar bc shows as a vss on the wiki

finite dragon
crimson tinsel
#

wait

#

the SVU

finite dragon
#

ah ok

craggy jewel
#

i also have no idea where that myth came from, its firing a necked up ak cartridge at subsonic speeds out of a pistol length barrel

crimson tinsel
#

Vintorez is Vintar VS

finite dragon
crimson tinsel
#

or Vintar BC because translation is confusing

craggy jewel
#

its got maybe an effective range of 300m, in some of these shooting vids you can see the bullet in the air

finite dragon
#

not even

#

drops like a rock

craggy jewel
#

the devs stuck a pso on it and called it a sniper and everyone was like ok seems legit

finite dragon
#

but hits like a truck

crimson tinsel
#

the suppressed sniper rifle that fires 7.62 R is SVU, SVD's bullpup brother

knotty sedge
#

bullpups are gross

finite dragon
#

^ yes I was confused because yall werent using real gun names

finite dragon
craggy jewel
#

the svu could serve the purpose of just being a better handling svd at the cost of a slower reload, maybe

finite dragon
#

the only one I like is the Tavor X95 or the Desert Tech MDRX

crimson tinsel
#

Only virgins use real gun names

#

Real stalkers use ingame names for weapons

knotty sedge
crimson tinsel
finite dragon
#

and I am chad

#

so if chad is a virgin then yes

knotty sedge
#

real gun names makes it easier

#

by a lot

finite dragon
#

that too

crimson tinsel
#

Bruh

finite dragon
#

I've gotten to the point where I ignore in game names and just know what I am looking at

craggy jewel
#

i prefer using real gun names because theres a pretty decent chance you might have not even seen the gun in game so id have no idea what people are talking about

finite dragon
#

also iirc Spets uses the VSS with a PSO

#

idk why the AS Val isn't considered the same as the VSS to Russians

#

it's the same gun

crimson tinsel
#

It isn't

knotty sedge
#

different stock and accurized barrel

#

that's it

finite dragon
#

the stock folds on the VAL whoopie lol

#

now the Barrel I didn't know about

craggy jewel
#

i have 0 idea why they use the pso, do they have a variant for the 9x39 cartridge?

finite dragon
#

dunno

coarse reef
#

I prefer calling every long ranged weapon "gun"

finite dragon
#

lmao

#

that or it follows a similar BDC to another of their calibers

crimson tinsel
#

Vintorez was designed before the AS Val

craggy jewel
#

it seems so goofy to me, yes im using this gun with the ballistics of a brick with a sniper scope designed for something to shoot almost a kilometer away

#

maybe its for precision, its a sneaky urban rifle so maybe the pso is just good for shooting through windows and peepholes from a couple blocks away?

knotty sedge
#

along with a cannon

#

and slingshot

finite dragon
#

well the PSO isn't really made to shoot a klick away..... we use the ACOG for like 400 or less and the PSO has the same magnification factor

#

4x

coarse reef
craggy jewel
#

i mean more the rangefinder, x4 is not nearly enough

finite dragon
#

and you'd be hard pressed to shoot that far with 9x39

knotty sedge
craggy jewel
#

it's such a weird combo there has to be an explanation

crimson tinsel
#

In military you'd get beaten up for calling your weapon a "gun"

#

:troll:

finite dragon
#

I'd rather run an OKP-7 tbh

coarse reef
#

bow shoots a projectile over a long distance with an intent to cause bodily harm to another human or creature
gun shoots a projectile over a long distance with an intent to cause bodily harm to another human or creature

bow is a gun

finite dragon
#

or a Kobra

knotty sedge
#

or literally any other red dot

craggy jewel
#

like i could understand for maybe youre in a bush on a city block, gotta shoot a guy standing in a window a block or two away and you got one shot, maybe the pso is good for there because in that environment its overkill zoom?

#

idk man its so weird i wont ever understand it

finite dragon
#

4x is like perfect middle ground honestly

craggy jewel
#

yeah 100%

finite dragon
#

not so zoomed in that you can't use it close, but not so weak that it cant reach out

craggy jewel
#

video games make it seem like its too much, because its your entire screen sometimes

finite dragon
#

I prefer the PIP method of zoom

#

like Squad

#

where the rest of your screen is normal but inside the scope is 4x

knotty sedge
#

In video games you often use full auto, meanwhile full auto is alot harder to use irl

craggy jewel
#

pip is superior and im happy to see it in the trailer

finite dragon
#

lucky if you even get the 2nd round on target

craggy jewel
#

yeah i cant stand games with rb6 full auto recoil its so annoying

knotty sedge
#

rapid semi-auto still takes some training

finite dragon
#

unless you have a SAW

#

then is ok

#

but it does weigh like 25 lbs

knotty sedge
#

SAW is meant for suppressive fire though

finite dragon
#

correcto

knotty sedge
#

not really meant to be accurate

finite dragon
#

Accuracy through volume

crimson tinsel
#

VSS isn't necessarily equipped with PSO-1-1

craggy jewel
#

i mean its still a gun you can definitely accurately hit things with it, its not a csgo lmg

knotty sedge
#

yeah but not meant to be used like an M4

crimson tinsel
#

M249

#

You can dual wield it

craggy jewel
#

its looking like modding may not be as deep as the other stalker games unfortunately

crimson tinsel

at least for single player id like to mod out some of the things the devs had to do for the casual audience

AKs aren't that much heavier than an M16

at least the A4

crimson tinsel
#

well yes

finite dragon

A1 is turbo lightweight

knotty sedge

A1s are light af

they're aight I guess

they kill people good enough

finite dragon

Yes!

knotty sedge

Swear words are fun

half glade
#

Ah like minded people

finite dragon
#

Swear words are an entire form of literary science and they have become instinctual at this point, so I’m afraid of accidentally typing some here

knotty sedge
#

I learned that rule the hard way just from typing instinctively

finite dragon
#

I’m surprised it hasn’t happened to me (yet)

half glade
#

Hmmm

#

Swearing my beloved

open lintel
#

for the most part, swearing was a blanket ban in order to help moderate insults / and super bad swears in other languages like russian/ukranian

#

the auto mod deleting swears, or general swearing will not be held against you in anyway. Unless ofc your using it to insult / bully / harass etc. as ofc the focus at that point would not be the swearing itself

#

ofc, keeping the chat clean-ish was also in mind, so excessive use, constant use of swearing is not something they want to allow

#

(from gsc themself btw on this topic) which ofc has been an ongoing conversation for years in the server xd
