Not really, find the vibe that fits you. Hoods are always good on tops with gasmasks to get that stalker vibe
Chonkier the better? Like have stuff with shoulderpads, kneepads, elbowpads kinda does the trick to give that stalker vibe

Pre-tacticool equipment trying to look tacticool is hard to pull off

lime lily
#

Ye I'm not a tacticool guy I have an operator friend but I prefer the classics like just a plain AK with wood

#

Thanks

tired remnant
#

Yeah, the chunkier and older the better for sure

Good idea to find like wierd bags from other nations and mix in. Leather here and there but you already got it dude 🙂

praying for a vfc one in a couple years

tired remnant
analog dust
#

indeed

#

i have high hopes for their 74, will probably cave and buy in to the first batch

#

and hopefully not regret it

tired remnant
#

Yeah, havent had much experience prior to VFC so no clue how their other platforms have performed earlier

analog dust
#

I've got some of their ARs, namely their XM177, 416A5 (since it's in stalker 2) and i built my LR300 on a VFC base

#

they have their quirks but can be reliable performers with cheap spares

#

but i wouldn't recommend their MP5s and I'm not sure about their G36s yet

tired remnant
#

Alright
Yeah Im mostly a LCT boy since I do impressions, good externals

analog dust
#

they are, their internals have dropped off lately though

#

I've succumbed to the gas life so choices have become more limited

lime lily
#

I'm broke af i just keep to EBB

#

Well gonna be anyways I gotta complete the kit

tired remnant
#

Seems StrikeArms, some russian airsoft producer is doing and AEG too? But with the situation going on I doubt well get any of those within EU stores

onyx hound
analog dust
#

performance can be as good as AEGs as long as you get a good platform

tired remnant
#

I guess, have yet seen anyone get a constant run of like 1.6j with 32g for a whole 72h game

But I guess its a money stepping stone aswell

analog dust
#

money is a big part of it yeah, I've put like £700 into my LR300

#

probably more

#

and fps consistency will always be worse than AEGs, but actual shooting performance doesn't rely on it as much, you'll still get good results with 10-20 fps variance on a good system

And were blue

Arent they american?

But yeah
In the games they are blue

They are generally from Balkan and/or Armenia and such

Likely some russian PMC that takes people from these shitholes of a country

wise loom
#

I always see them use L82s in game

gentle lichen
#

Yeah, could be

plucky anvil

#

But you will ser them use AK-74, 74u, and other guns as well

wise loom

Didnt pay enough attention to them

They are far from using exclusively or even mostly NATO guns

I found him alive

So its only if you side with Skull

Or maybe muties got him there

I never found him alive at Army Warehouses ngl

When I arrive at AW he's chilling inside campdire

Hey, I was wanting to cosplay and I was curious if this old jacket I own would be a good start or not?

lone ridge
#

I'd say try find a darker shade of green if possible, like Olive Drab.

#

Also what faction are you gonna cosplay?

#

@bright scarab

bright scarab
#

@lone ridge I was thinking just being a rookie/loner since I figured it would be easier for a first timer like me.

lone ridge
#

Alrighty good choice

#

I'd say find an olive green canvas jacket with a hood.

#

Then get some jeans, leather boots and a leather belt

#

Do you plan on buying an airsoft replica for your cosplay?

bright scarab
#

@lone ridge My jacket actually has a hood. The collar has a zipper in the back that hides the hood.

lone ridge
#

Good good.

#

It's just personally, I think the jacket is a bit too light, especially when you compare it to some artwork or rookie Loners in the game.

bright scarab
#

@lone ridge I was planning on using this foam double barrel blaster I got on Amazon.

lone ridge
#

Ooh nice one

#

These are some pretty good reference photos you could use

#

You should also look into soviet surplus. A good website for it is frontowiec.com

bright scarab
#

@lone ridge You think this is good?

lone ridge
#

I think an olive colour would be a safer bet

#

Just look up on Amazon "OD canvas jacket"

outer umbra
#

You can get decent stuff like this for a lot cheaper, and its usually already worn in

bright scarab
#

Any ideas for gas masks? I know a lot of older ones have asbestos in the filters, but is there anything else I should know?

lone ridge
#

Go gp5 I'd say. Very cheap

outer umbra
#

Im thinking of getting one of those and pairing it with this

#

Or one of these

I was just gonna make a fit I thought looked good, not really looking to cosplay

lone ridge

Aight fair enough

#

Im mainly getting an outfit for airsoft, but UK has masks are a fortune

lone ridge
#

Hell yeah

#

Don't think theyd allow gas masks tho. Unless they are specifically made for airsoft

Im might get this one

Since its more western-y

Amazon good too

Ebay is better tho

#

Cheaper and better stuff

lone ridge
#

Depends on what you're looking for

bright scarab
#

I've always had a hard time finding clothes on eBay and I have prime so things get to me quicker when I use Amazon.

outer umbra
#

They do these for cheap on ebay

bright scarab
#

@lone ridge anachronistic basically means looks out of place time wise. (I.E. Starbucks in Game of Thrones.)

Im Pretty Sure Theres An Israeli Version Of It

But I Don't Sure This Thing Still Produced

#

If It Produced Around 1990 Then Theres Still A Little Chance That These Type Of Gas Mask Still Available

You can still find these gas masks online although they are more expensive than the civilian gas mask (doesn't look the same)

Hey, I'm going to a surplus shop in my home town in a couple of days, any ideas on what I should get? (Mainly looking for backpacks, pouches, water canteen, etc)

cosmic locust
bright scarab
#

@cosmic locust I'm going for a rookie/loner cosplay, but wouldn't mind general suggestions.

bright scarab
cosmic locust
#

Maybe you could find a gas mask or a good bag at the surplus place

#

Maybe a leather belt to wear over the jacket you could throw some pouches on

bright scarab
analog dust
#

back at it again

cosmic locust
#

For pouches, maybe a hydration pouch if you can find one with a matching canteen, and then maybe some mosin stripper clip pouches or something if they’re available

A SMERSH could be nice but they are kinda hard to find these days

It's basically a belt with pouches

I'd say it's worth it

#

Maybe a gas mask bag too

bright scarab

#

Ye for a rookie that would be nice

#

But something like this for extra supplies close to you and not tucked away in a bag is good. Look at the gas mask bag on the left side

#

Here are all my rookie loadout pics if you need any inspo

bright scarab
#

Which bag do you think would be better?

lime lily
#

The one on the top looks nice af

bright scarab

Which color?

analog dust
lime lily
# bright scarab Which color?

Think about contrast and the colour scheme a little maybe so looking at the plan so far black and green would be nicest imo

bright scarab
lime lily
#

I'd say it would still look good with it ye

#

Could be good for medical supplies

bright scarab
#

Yeah, what I was thinking. Found some AI-2's on Amazon for $13.

lime lily

Wouldn't fit in there I'd say

#

Better for bandages and stuff

Which one of these would be a better starting point for my artifact?

ember trench
#

i'd say clear cause you can paint em and if you have the know-how, put small LED lights in em

bright scarab
ember trench
#

if i recall i think this is just the prototype model, i think i remember them saying if they have the finished product you'll have to actually get the weapon in-game first for it to function, i don't know how they'll do it but that sounds interesting

ember trench
#

this would be good for artifacts that aren't spherical as it would only be on one side and look off, but for ones like the Crystal i think it would work really good

bright scarab
#

I could always put one light on each side of the sphere.

ember trench
#

one thing that i would find interesting is if someone managed to 3D print a Jellyfish with actual metallic bits in the center of it to give that really nice light-play that it's description in game says

hollow furnace
ember trench
#

is it of good quality?

#

cause from what i see of these artifacts they look like officially licensed plastic collector items

hollow furnace
#

The only thing on the detecter that looks "off" is just the cage (has alot of the stuff to make it not cleaned off) an the back looks weird

#

Cyma makes blowback iirc

analog dust
#

lawd not aps

lime lily
#

Ye but where I live it's max 1 joule

#

Which is problematic

void swift
#

But, important question, are you going to skirmish it?

lime lily
#

?

void swift
#

Use it in airsoft,or just for cosplay

lime lily
#

Oh ye both

#

My cosplay is my Airsoft kit

void swift
#

I would suggest Cyma. Aps needs some work done to be a proper aeg (sadly)

analog dust
#

APS is cheese

lime lily
#

Ight

i am a retail technician

lime lily
#

I need to find an AKS-74 under 1 J EBBR

#

I'm looking on taiwangun rn

analog dust
#

marui recoil

lime lily
#

I do not have the budget

void swift
#

Taieangun offers downgrades so

lime lily
#

It's around 200

lime lily
void swift
lime lily
#

Loads of the downgrades aren't good for 1 j still

#

I'd have to email them and ask if they could downgrade even more

void swift
#

I know. Ask for 1j specifically. And ask them to Chrono it as well

#

They send a paper with the readings

lime lily
#

Ight I'll look some more

analog dust
lime lily
#

At that point I'm just saving up for a PKM or PKP

analog dust
#

the top tier choice would be wait for the vfc gbbr one

#

that's what I'm doing

void swift
#

As much as I love gbbrs , I hate the maintenance they require,plus cold weather is no bueno

analog dust
#

easier than aegs, just somewhat more often

void swift
#

Indeed

analog dust
#

and pick a good platform and it'll run at freezing fine

void swift
#

Looking intensely at vfc m733

analog dust
#

good with tweaks, i have an XM

lime lily
#

Ight I found a couple nice ones but idk if I can stand my AK without the blowback

#

It's cursed af

#

But I think I'll be ok

#

I just need to see if I can sell my M4

#

Ok so here's the handguard tiebreaker

lime lily
# lime lily

Just found a better one with the standard folding stock

If you go brown, you should paint them like bakelite for that og look

#

@analog dust you think this worth the blowback?

#

Ye it's APS but real good reviews

#

And an EBBR

#

And if it's not I'll just wait until this guy's back in stock:

analog dust
#

APS just isn't worth it

lime lily
#

At all?

analog dust
#

not in my opinion

#

i disassembled my pal's cam 870 once and it all became crazy loose after

#

only one disassembly

lime lily
#

Damn

#

Idk then cause the cyma is nice but

#

No blowback on the AK :/

analog dust
#

basic ebb aeg < regular aeg < TM recoil < gbb

lime lily
#

Fair enough I've got an AKS-74U EBBR and before I got a suppressor it was real bad

#

Still tho the blowback idk

analog dust
#

the cymas are solid

cosmic locust
#

Imho if you want blowback just go full on GBB

#

EBB really isn’t worth it

lime lily
#

60 a mag tho

analog dust
#

importing from HK can help

lime lily
#

Really the price for a GBBR AK for me is like €840

analog dust
#

ghk?

lime lily
#

?

analog dust
#

brand

lime lily
#

Na

#

Just generally it's all the same price wise

#

GBBRs are 600

#

60 a mag

cosmic locust
#

Gotta pay to play

#

GBBRs aren’t cheap but they sure are cool

lime lily
#

Ye

cosmic locust
#

If you want performance/price I’d honestly just stick to non-EBB AEGs

lime lily
#

I got myself a fancy ass 2011 and it is nice

lime lily
analog dust
#

cyma are decent all round, E&L is a bit nicer externally and but they tend to rust easy, LCT is somewhat nicer though they have a blued finish instead of painted, their internals have been a bit spotty lately

nocturne osprey
lime lily
#

Y'all think a full stock AK-74 is worth it for 250 and 8 mags or should I go for an AKS-74M and 5 mags for 265

#

And then get wood

#

Im running an altyn so I'm not sure about fixed stock

analog dust
#

brands and condition?

lime lily
#

Only used 3 times and it's an E&L

#

320 fps

#

And the AKS is a cyma

#

I'd get it brand new

#

310 fps

#

The fixed stock is the only bad thing about the E&L

#

if not a friend why friendly-shaped dog

#

The AK-74N is full wood and the AKS-74M has no wood so id have to buy some

daring dome
#

XD

lime lily
#

I'm running an altyn so when visor is down I'll just not be aiming

#

And it won't be good at all for anything near buildings

#

Also the Cyma AK is including shipping

#

The other I'd prolly collect myself

#

Hey, I was curious if a revolver would fit in with my Rookie/Loner cosplay or not.

hollow furnace
#

eh not really revolvers dont really fill the zone

fallow shoal
foggy crane
hollow furnace
#

unless using a speed loader

#

Semi automatics are alot better for the zone cause you want quickness

bright scarab
#

Well wouldn't revolvers have easier maintenance since they are a simpler design? Could be a decent trade off.

#

Also similar thing could be said about double barrels vs pump action.

restive hound
hollow furnace
#

Revolvers break really easy

restive hound
#

Revolvers fit the zone's arsenal

#

but yhea, they are pretty fragile

analog dust
#

I'd get a replica 1911A1, there's plenty dart/airsoft versions about

bright scarab
#

Yeah that's what I was thinking about doing, just figured I ask since I saw it while browsing.

#

Now what about headlamp vs flashlight?

lime lily
#

Headlamp imo

bright scarab
#

@lime lily I ask because I have this flashlight that can go l shaped and I could put it on my jacket or the rig I'm planning on getting.

lime lily
#

That could be nice ye

#

Well if you have one use it is the rule I go by so use it bro

hollow furnace
#

Usin a revolver (as a main item) would be sewerslide in the zone due the low ammo count and fragility of the cylinder an frame

lime lily
#

Ye if you have a revolver get a real heavy caliber revolver

hollow furnace
#

youd want like a 357 or 44 mag

#

anythin smaller is a death sentance

#

either way id rather trust a semi like a makarov a glock gsh18 anything semi auto an more than 6 rounds

lime lily
#

Skorpion is godly sidearm

#

The modernised versions for 9 mill

#

Not the .32 ACP 💀

hollow furnace
#

skorpion is automatic

lime lily
#

Has semi

hollow furnace
#

correct but talkin bout pistols

#

not smgs

lime lily
#

It's a machine pistol not smg

hollow furnace
#

mb

#

i mix them in the same category

lime lily
#

I have a holster for it

hollow furnace
#

i got my safariland holster for my glock19x🗣

lime lily
#

It's light enough to use with an artifact detector too I'd say

#

At least the modernised versions

hollow furnace
#

oh absolutley , stuff ljke the OTS 33 glock18 scorpion any machine pistol would go amazing

lime lily
#

Ye but the skorpion got that folding stock too

#

Only problem is that it's uncomfortable and hard to aim with

#

And like impossible if you have a plate carrier

bright scarab
#

How would a sten gun fare out in the zone?

celest flower
#

weren't sten guns infamously unreliable and needed maintenance constantly?

restive hound
lime lily
#

Also just get yourself something eastern Sure_I_am

celest flower
#

meh

#

if it kills enemy stalkers then it can never be too outdated

lime lily
#

Fair enough

#

Still tho if it's eastern it'll be nice

celest flower
#

i beg GSC to add a brown bess to stalker 2

lime lily
#

M4....na I'll take my Nagant revolver to assault the CNPP Sure_I_am

bright scarab
#

Also doesn't have like 40 parts total, meaning easy maintenance?

lime lily
#

My TOZ34

#

Just made a 🔥 suggestion

restive hound
lime lily
#

I swear it's a good idea

lime lily
#

It is a good idea tho trust

bright scarab
# lime lily My TOZ34

How does a over/under double barrel differ from a side-by-side (besides the obvious)?

celest flower
#

stalker 2 should take place at 3 mile island

#

then gsc would be forced to put more american guns in the game

lime lily
#

And it's better for precision

#

Cause it's stacked

People over exaggerate the TT-33s recoil

#

Is soo good

lime lily
#

I know where to get 1 joule TTs

#

From Poland

#

I know some stuff

fluid lance
fluid lance
lime lily
#

Either way go onto taiwangun

#

They sell good stuff for cheap

#

And they have options to downgrade replicas

#

So you'll be good

#

For most replicas anyways

lime lily
#

Ye bro I can't get mosins really my limit is 1 J

#

Still I'm happy to stick to AKs and stuff

celest flower
lime lily
#

They shouldnt add more American guns but more eastern guns because east>west

analog dust
#

a good mix is best

#

it's quite nice that there's gonna be more than literally 1 smg in stalker 2

lime lily
analog dust
#

variety is the spice of life

ember trench
#

that and it just makes sense, with the old setup of weapons it just felt like the whole world had only those weapons ever, so it'll be nice seeing more things like smaller machine pistols/SMG's and the sort

lime lily
analog dust
#

but VSS and LR

unique jay
#

I'd carry a .44 in the zone for things like the animals

lime lily
analog dust
#

all you need is VSS

VSS is real nice but I want AK too

#

Nobody would ever be rich enough to afford using it

Jacket is normally nicer imo

Unless you don't want to waste the jacket for patches and want it to be a normal one too without anything if it doesnt have velcro

i’ll probably do my jacket just because i want to cover up an old one

I just made a smersh-inspired belt rig for hiking and cosplay myself

I found a real one too

But ig the 4 cell is closer to what we see in games

I have my belt kit and like 3 different chest rigs

lime lily

I could but that's like game amounts of ammo or whatever I'm keeping in it

cosmic locust
#

Don’t wear em all at the same time, obviously lol

lime lily
#

It's €120 euro up for bargains

#

It's been up a month or 2 so I'd say maybe €100

cosmic locust
#

Depending on what generation it is that’s a steal

lime lily
#

Only 1 pic tho

lime lily
#

I'd then have space for 16 mags

#

Id fill them up with other stuff

#

So what if there's then 8 double mag pouches, 4 grenade pouches and 1 small bag

cosmic locust
#

And if it’s just for cosplay just getting the 4 cell probably makes more sense

lime lily
#

Ye but it doubles as my Airsoft kit

cosmic locust
#

Hmmmm

lime lily
#

And I'm constantly saving and buying to upgrade it

#

Soon enough I'll be printing a Bear and some artefacts

#

And I wanna sell my M4 and get an AKS-74M

Get some wood furniture and maybe a GP-25 grenade launcher

Nice gas mask tho

I need an upgrade

I have a KZS, flecktarn and a monolyth like camo kits

I kinda combine loads of elements from all my kits to save money

I collect milsurp so this is part for the course ig

#

I dont have much helmets tho

lime lily
#

Imma be buying a load of stuff soon tho so finally imma have a good stalker kit that also doubles as a good metro kit

gritty blade
#

nice

lime lily
#

Same I only have 2, a multi cam fast helmet and my altyn replica

#

the OP1 suit goes verryyyy well for metro kits

It does ye

I have a wz68 I think it was

It actually fits my big ass head too

gritty blade
#

kinda hard to combine masks suits and helmets

lime lily

It is ye

lemme actually try the mask with the ones I have

lime lily
#

But generally the Slavic stuff goes with the Slavic stuff

#

I gotta get myself a PMK

gritty blade
#

the mask is austrian lmao

#

got it for 49 zł

lime lily
#

Yoo

#

Where?

gritty blade
#

#

but the thing is my came without back straps

#

I think its kinda random wich one u get with that price

#

I just pulled straps from a old bulldog

#

Ight thanks I got my GP-5 from some random ass surplus shop in Olsztyn last I was there

gritty blade
#

and it works like a charm

gritty blade
lime lily
#

Ye they generally are

#

Do they have any PMKs?

gritty blade
#

I dont think so

lime lily
#

I take a lot of inspo from the metro art and it would look awesome

#

Damn

#

I could get a GP-7V but I've heard they real uncomfortable

gritty blade
#

hmm

#

a mask with a side filter would be nice

lime lily
#

It would ye

gritty blade
#

but the thin 3M one I bought is also nice for this one

lime lily
#

I'd say it might be a bit side heavy tho

gritty blade
#

dosent get in the way like those big metal polish ones

gritty blade
#

but yea I reccoment the 3M one

lime lily
#

Ye, holy shit I just thought of something

#

I can just 3d print filters at my local library

lime lily
#

Deff filled to the brim with asbestos

gritty blade

two smaller ones

#

and this new 3M I got for the mask

#

wich has prolly no azbestos

lime lily
#

From what year is it?

gritty blade
#

not a clue

#

seems like it expires in 03/2032

#

so its prolly from the last few months

lime lily
#

Then it shouldn't have asbestos

gritty blade
#

it wasnt too expensive too

#

okay my english sucks rn

#

what r those sentences

#

also the mask has amazing vision compared to stuff like bulldog or mp5

lime lily
#

If you ever interested in getting an altyn I know a shop in Germany

#

Replica anyways

gritty blade
#

I might MAYBE get a original one day from my friends friend yk

#

if he dosent sell them all to americanos like he wanted

#

Fair enough just in case tho it's called tactical Harz

But fair warning it's pretty big
