experimental autolooter feature disabled by default

[hollow pollen]

Fair enough, good to know. Might try comparisons with SSS off and on to see if worth tomorrow

[elfin pine]

you get notifications for it if you press left alt when hovering over stashes/bodies

[golden rune]

Man sucks cause it's a gold stash too ;-;

[winged crown]

is the bar in jupiter like the call of pripyat where duty and freedom dont shoot each other or will i be gunned down by freedom as soon as i step foot in it?

[elfin pine]

yanov is a loner/freedom base

no ceasefire

[winged crown]

rip

[slender niche]

You can just do what the command says and you'll see it bruh

[tough lion]

Duty sucks

[coarse stream]

Oflin is the goat, what can we say

[pearl forum]

The ceasefire ended as far as I remember after the end of CoP

[empty iris]

Is there a way to stop crashes on loading zones far away? Like, if I try to fast travel from somewhere like Generators or CNPP to Rostok, about 70% of the time it crashes

[slender niche]

The indended gamba experience

[winged crown]

that sucks is jupiter also filled with freedom soldiers?

or is it just yanov

[elfin pine]

depends on the ending, i don't know which one was canon but in Anomaly (or CoC idk) they just decided that freedom should be leading the place

[solid ibex]

are there any high res texture packs so I can shift the load from my CPU to my GPU

[elfin pine]

primarily yanov, freedom can hang around the cement factory but usually duty takes up that spot

[winged crown]

👍

[elfin pine]

there's a bandit base, eco bunker and small outposts scattered about

[rain crest]

ngl darkskape is amazing location for a base, alot of mutatnts u can farm and stuff when u need money

[empty iris]

man it's freezing in my house which is annoying bc i want to go take a shower

[elfin pine]

ATO5 is probably the most popular pack now

[tough lion]

Wow that’s a first

Darkscape positivity

[rain crest]

ye

idk why ppl talk so bad about it, free money everywhere

[pearl forum]

Wait where's darkscape?

[elfin pine]

its not a bad map to visit like once or do lost signals in but beyond that its mid

[tough lion]

With what traders

And what faction bases

[pearl forum]

Oh man I hate lost signal tasks in general

[empty iris]

imagine doing lost signals, couldnt be me

[elfin pine]

loner trader and technician in the forest outpost

[tough lion]

Bleh

[pearl forum]

Oh that, never been there

[elfin pine]

they're friendly to mercs

[daring jacinth]

Is it me or the thompson is really bad?

[shrewd minnow]

the map is just too linear for my tastes is the reason why i dislike it

[tough lion]

Regardless if you’re farming muties there there isn’t a requirement to make a base there to do so

[heady knoll]

It's horrible

[rain crest]

its amazing place if u got a good shotgun

[tough lion]

Guns with ring sights suck

This ain’t irl where I can focus in on it

[elfin pine]

.45 ACP is shit due to its damage falloff, only Hydrashok is decent for mutants

[daring jacinth]

I really regret picking it over the toz 🙁

[rain crest]

honestly, any gun is good if u can aim

[elfin pine]

if you want to use .45 you only do it for the HP round, if you want to use the FMJ round then.... oof

[empty iris]

dont you dare disrespect the lord's caliber

[elfin pine]

i mean even the HP round has huge damage falloff

[pearl forum]

Okay I may or may not be fucking things up because I was clicking and accepting tasks in Rostok and I accepted a bounty, somehow, someway, the target is one of duty soldier himself, I thought I accidentally accepted quest from idk? Fellow loners, but no it's that one dude who's standing near the dude who's managing the arena

[rain crest]

"farm" bandits till u get a good barrel gun and slowly fix it up

[elfin pine]

so its not perfect

both are also expensive to buy and craft

[daring jacinth]

Ive been picking fmj cause its the cheapest 😁

[heady knoll]

For the Hunter's kit to work, do I just need to have it in my inventory? I can't equip it like I could in Anomaly.

[elfin pine]

i find myself steering clear of .45 because 9x19 just works much better

[heady knoll]

FMJ is the "balanced" round.

[hollow pollen]

The Lord's caliber may not be very real life lore accurate

[heady knoll]

For real, 9x19 got me through the entire early game

[pearl forum]

Generally it did its job pretty well until you meet someone with Exoskeleton

[west badge]

Press V

[elfin pine]

aim for the face, easier to break armor that way

[narrow sky]

Bitches don't k ow about the secret of 762x25

[empty iris]

tokarev sucks and i hate it

[narrow sky]

[hollow pollen]

He don't know

[wild patrol]

[elfin pine]

the HP round holds its own well and i tend to use them throughout the game for mutants

[pearl forum]

Yeah headshot almost never matter what type of ammo you're on, I was referring to torso shots.

But idk, maybe the same can't be said to HP against armored headshot since I never used it

[dapper glade]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[wild patrol]

Tokarev is annoyingly good against mutants

And dirt cheap too

[teal summit]

Hello chat

[pearl forum]

Also chat, is this normal? Duty putting a bounty on a fellow Duty?

[nova folio]

give me tokarev with a suppressor, tell me its .45 hydrashock and i might even believe you lol

[wild patrol]

Oi

Hm?

[dapper glade]

Yeah i thought to do that as well

Good luck

I can literally stack 5 kill quests on the same bandit in Garbage without leaving my Rostok base
Why would I bother with the Satan's rectum that is Darkscape

It's even funnier when you remember that most Gamma players are forced to field strip their guns and their game as well

[shrewd minnow]

glad someone else feels the same. i keep a notepad labeled gamma mods and settings that lists everything i want to enable and disable or change

[elfin pine]

anytime there's a major patch its also recommended to just default everything up

[paper arch]

gamedat

[elfin pine]

then adjust to your liking

[dapper glade]

I legit just have it like saved in my head 😭 lol

[elfin pine]

that way you won't miss small settings that could end up making a big difference

[shrewd minnow]

i used to do the same until i changed too much and couldnt keep it in my head properly

[elfin pine]

yes, that's the duty and clear sky hug eachother again mod

[dreamy copper]

was hoping it would spam "cocksucker" like 4 times in a row. but that works

[rustic anchor]

Loners or clear sky for me

[pearl forum]

I'm more curious how the monoliths get their own steady supplies

[empty iris]

[shrewd minnow]

not for long when grok makes it so clear sky and duty are enemies

[dreamy copper]

"is this how you fight? YOU'RE PATHETIC" one when pressing f on a rat

[opaque spear]

You know, I think a firefight in the dead of night with a gagglefuck of sin in the red forest is peak gamma gameplay for me. Most amount of "WTF IS HAPPENING" and genuine fun I've had. 10/10, would recommend.

[elfin pine]

allegedly there are factions who supply monolith, one of which are the bookstore mercs in outskirts

[rustic anchor]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I MAKE ALL MY FIRST BASES IN ROSTOK

[teal summit]

What about the military?

[pearl forum]

I wished... For pure... Unadulterated power!

Gives him a 1911

[rustic anchor]

yknow never actually tried them

[empty iris]

WAIT THOSE ASSHOLES SUPPLY MONOLITH?

[dreamy copper]

i love how i end up overpreparing for the invictus bs, yet the lab itself is done in 5 minutes and only used like 200-300 9x21

[pearl forum]

This implies Monoliths aren't blindly firing everyone and actually have the capability to form a relationship

[winter bluff]

What is the reason for that though?
What could go wrong between militarized stalkers and unqualified scientists

[teal summit]

I only played freedom in the original 💔

[shrewd minnow]

cuz

[winter bluff]

got it

[rustic anchor]

I bet they're doing it cause one sells Nato and one sells Warsaw, split it by ammo types smh

[elfin pine]

there's no good reason, but also...... clear sky consisting of people who aided in the creation of the zone...... duty wanting to destroy it....

hm hm

[unique heath]

but they dont iirc. They're being micromanaged by the monolith almost like a hivemind

[rustic anchor]

prolly the actual reason

[opaque spear]

I feel like playing as duty or freedom and hanging around army warehouses would be good fun, honestly.

[shrewd minnow]

just a shame for duty players cuz the only nato faction theyre currently neutral with is goddamn clear sky lol

[harsh fiber]

Oflin do you know anything about g3s making it into base gamma?

[elfin pine]

nuh

if anyone would do that it'd be athi

[harsh fiber]

Alright

[rustic anchor]

ig tbf they're more alligned with the Military and I don't think the Military have ANY nato faction they're neutral with

Oh fookin boy you don't know how many times my 5.56 runs out while I was playing as a duty, one time I ran out of it in Outskirts and yeah I have to walk all the way back to the swamp then back to the Pripyat

[unique heath]

does that arzi task pack still work with GAMMA? I really liked the contracts that made you kill a group of 2 faction's traitors trying to make a deal.

[opaque spear]

Struggling to find a working gun is part of GAMMA's charm.

[pearl forum]

Because other than the mercs and Clear Sky I genuinely don't know who else has NATO weapons

[winter bluff]

arent duty using a warsaw pact weaponry?
I thought freedom uses natos

is there a way to put someone to "sleep" thats in allied faction and in middle of the base without alarming or getting bad rep?

[pearl forum]

I found an M4 one time and decided to stick with it.

This is when I know that not all factions have the same type of guns and the rest tell their own story

[elfin pine]

not by default, there is a stealth kill feature in settings > gameplay iirc

off by default due to ease of abuse and it being largely just an experimental feature

[empty iris]

get enough rep to get them to follow you, lead them to secluded area, look at the flowers, lenny

[rain crest]

alr gonna try that

[pearl forum]

I shot down a duty officer as a loner once as he's standing alone in army warehouse, midnight and raining just to take his artifacts, I don't think I suffered any consequences from there

[shrewd minnow]

bro holy shit same back when i first played gamma. was a real struggle especially since i was still learning

[pearl forum]

All of a sudden it's Fallout 1 all over again where they literally walked the entire map just to probably resupply

But unlike in Fallout, we can run here while New Vegas have us tiptoeing the entire Mojave for some reason

[dapper glade]

My first experience was when i found an ADAR and I was Loner and (for some context i have played the og 3 games and a few freeplay mods and the like) i settled in Rostok and i was stuck reloading my save every time i missed a shot because i only had like 60 bullets total half of which were hollow point

They need to add like a Warsaw Pact equivalent of an ADAR like maybe a Saiga 5-45 or something

[empty iris]

ADAR is WP iirc

[elfin pine]

yes but uses 5.56x45

[pearl forum]

What I hate the most is the military, they gunned me down in full auto acting like they have all the ammo in the world by when I actually looted them, all they have is marijuana and a dying gun

[dapper glade]

It's an armalite that uses 5.56 i mean

[empty iris]

it's a russian gun, meant to be their equivalent of the AR-15

[elfin pine]

its a russian made AR-15 for the civilian market

[dapper glade]

Yeah exactly

[paper arch]

.366 AK (I need more item bloat for my slop pack)

[elfin pine]

i suggested a semi-auto 5.45 a ton

but seems to just go unnoticed

or there's some higher force with "balance" against such guns being common

[winter bluff]

My first experience was trying to take to down a hog with Wolf and Makarov's pistol
I couldnt catch a moment to kite this bitch for 5 times straight, getting one-shotted

Yeah we need like a Saiga 5.45 or some other magical weird semi auto

[elfin pine]

yeh

[empty iris]

Would love a cheap, shitty, semi-only AK

[late flower]

How do I make technicians stock more grooming kits? They dont got enough for my disassemblng needs

My first experience with Anomaly as a merc somehow got Ecologist and Clear Sky declaring war on merc

[empty iris]

give us a bubba'd SKS lol

Can't wait in the future for multiplayer Gamma, we be roleplaying as military and if there's a soldier who didn't wear an exoskeleton, imma go: Welcome to Agroprom, so you're the new replacement? YOU'RE OUT OF UNIFORM SOLDIER, WHERE'S YOUR EXOSKELETON?!

Pretty lit idea tho but absolutely never going to hapoen

[elfin pine]

probably was hurt by someone else/anomalies prior

[dusk chasm]

sadly
it got changed to 12 rounds from 22
so making it full auto is bad

Is the CoD4 USP in here, with that really long and thin laser aiming module?

gameplay, progression difficulty, artefact respawn chance]

[paper arch]

or at least not very easily editable

[unique heath]

whats wrong with this*

[viscid mesa]

do you reckon the old code for that is still around somewhere? is it worth me making a suggestion post asking for it to be an option or something in mo2?

[magic blaze]

pretty sure mine changed massively between updates though

[dusk chasm]

monolith and yantar dont mix

[crisp maple]

i love the chimera hunter so much

[paper arch]

and does that actually mean artefact respawn chance after an emission? or is it one of those options that don't work or has been repurposed to the GAMMA model of "artefacts just spawn with time passing"

[crisp maple]

there's better options but it's just so cool lol

[pearl forum]

I assume he's very recently converted because of the Northern Yantar part, I'm not sure I'm just throwing everything and see what sticks here

It's funny to see a Monolith Soldier with an excellent reputation, bro's out here doing good stuff behind the Monoliths back

[late flower]

Who the hell gave Sin so much built in armor? I swear its easier to kill them with HP rounds than AP ones.

[unique heath]

Limansk is basically Pripyat 2.0. Especially if you do regular contracts with mercs, you always have to defend that bridge to construction against 50+ monolith

[empty iris]

The Zone. They've "mastered" specific parts and get an energy shield

[paper arch]

yeah descriptions are nice but gamma tends to disable/overwrite random shit from the Settings

for example. bullet hit power factor

[pearl forum]

That's fine actually.

Because I'm racist against the monoliths

[unique heath]

Sin are essentially mutants

are there any other ways to interact with my weapon similar to like how to change the reticle of some optics and canted view? like ready positions or maybe the opacity of the laser sight?

how do u deal with the green anomalies that go backwards and forwards and do huge damage. i need to rescue a guy and hes sitting directly in the middle of the path of one and there's not enough time to get him out before it comes back

[crisp maple]

what's the difference between ballistic res and br class? presumably one is the pen threshold and the other is a multiplier for the post-pen damage?

[modern rover]

[paper arch]

[modern rover]

[pearl forum]

Imagine ratfucker is typing rn

[eager acorn]

[modern rover]

[viscid mesa]

that is beyond humanity

[elfin pine]

Ballistic Resistance - damage reduction from bullets
BR Class - armor/helmet ability to stop bullets from penetrating it

The higher BR Class you have the more calibers you can stop
Ballistic Resistance works in conjunction with BR Class to reduce damage taken but will work as a standalone resistance if your armor gets penetrated

If armor doesn't stop the bullet you receive a damage reduction in the form of the armor/helmet ballistic res + belt slot item ballistic res + medical item ballistic res (also there's a chance for bleeding)

If bullet is stopped by armor it takes the values: (armor/helmet ballistic res * 0.2 + br class amount * 1.3) + belt slot ballistic res + medical item ballistic res and gives you damage reduction based off that (you also don't bleed from getting shot)

By default the max damage reduction you can have is 65%, going beyond that value either with ballistic resistance or by not getting penetrated means nothing as the value stays at 65%
What you can do is use T2, T3 and T4 artefacts to raise the resistance cap up to 90%

As a representation of effectiveness of BR Class amount vs ammo AP (low to high):
<10 BR Class: 12x70 Buckshot, 20x70 Buckshot, Shrapnel 23x75, .338 Federal, 7.62x25 LRNPC, 9x18 HP, 9x19 HP, 5.45 HP, .45 HydraShok
<20 BR Class: 5.56x45 HP, 9x18 FMJ, 9x19 FMJ, .357 HP,
<30 BR Class: .45 ACP FMJ, 12x70 Slug, 7.62x25 PST, 5.7x28 SS195, 5.45x39 FMJ, 7.62x57 FMJ, 9x18 AP, 5.56x45 FMJ
<40 BR Class: 7.62x54r 7N1, 7.62x39 FMJ, 9x21 AP, 9x19 AP, 9x39 SP-5, 7.62x51 FMJ, 7.62x54 PP, 12.7x55 STs-130
<50 BR Class: 5.7x28 SS190, 12x70 AP Slugs, 7.62x54r 7N14, 5.45x39 AP
<60 BR Class: 5.56x45 AP, Barrikada 23x75, 7.62x39 M43, 9x39 SP-6
<68 BR Class: 7.62x51 AP
68 BR is the highest you can get with a Nosorog + T4 plate, meaning that 12.7x55 STs-130 VPS, 7.62x54 AP, .338 Lapua Magnum and Gauss Batteries will always penetrate your armor.

The moment you step into the north enemies use AP exclusively, BR Class fails most of the time

Is there a good place in the north that would be good for making an hideout

Or is there a way to make the tower a safe zone?

[unique hearth]

Okay ya'll, this game is SUPER intimidating whew!!! I've never played Stalker before, so I'm even new to that. Love it though. Buuuut, any recommends on good new players guides? There's a lot of videos out there, so if there's a consensus on a good starter guide, I'd love to hear it over just watching something random

[slender niche]

Outskirts has an interior near a gas anomaly

Its also decently clean, not too much rubble

[eternal harbor]

Do stalkers or mutants spawn there frequently or it is considered a safe zone?

[slender niche]

I mean you're like 4 or 5 floors up

The only way to access is ledge grab or parkouring on the anomaly I think

[real forge]

That's how the detractors of Duty will end according to Skull

Also what you're referring to are Smart Terrains iirc, and no I don't think it is

[valid river]

i started playing minecraft in stalker

[eternal osprey]

bois, will I need to start a new game in version 0.9.5 or can I use one from the current version?

[frozen grotto]

you cant update to 0.9.5 yet

but once it releases you arent forced to update to it

[timber oak]

tihs isnt stalker 2 sticker here

oh wait im blind, we should get a sticker of that too

[eternal osprey]

I know, I meant my current save file; it might be lost in version 0.9.5.

[timber oak]

<-- me rn

[pearl forum]

I am so lost by what does this mean TvT

[orchid kiln]

duty goonbunker is a crazy spot for a base

[timber oak]

i see people use stalker 2 icons and models so much in gamma, i just poke fun at them

i need to make "TIHS ISNT STALKER 2" sticker

spelling mistake included

[frozen grotto]

yes it will

im pretty sure 0.9.5 is not compatible with older savefiles

[kindred parrot]

new game recommended
I wouldn't update until you're done with the save

[fast pumice]

New save is required.

[orchid kiln]

how far did the update go in fixing things around doody and CS being enemies? I'm sure there will be more stuff to iron out

[fast pumice]

Me playing Loner because of tradition:

[orchid kiln]

agroprom and skadovsk are gonna be interesting

[orchid kiln]

I haven't done CS in so long, plus I want to be neutral to mercs and enemies with duty for once, rostok is a huge clutch i'm excited to play without it

[fast pumice]

I don't believe you should start as an advanced faction personally, I think you should join it later.

[lusty ermine]

do this shit in #🤖bot-commands thanks

[topaz trellis]

Sorry.

[timber oak]

umm bird thing.. smoking is angy

what teh fuck is that?? i cant tell what that is.

[valid river]

oh trust me its more than just a goonbunker

[orchid kiln]

joining factions is very buggy

[fast pumice]

True.

[crystal basalt]

Hey, @elfin pine, sorry for bothering you, but how can i made Gamma patch for some weapons from Moddb?

[orchid kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-gif-1878760417600646737

[fast pumice]

I should do BS soon.

[timber oak]

goon what

[elfin pine]

good thing to ask in #╙🖇mods-making-discussion ?

[crystal basalt]

Ok

[timber oak]

hi orphan

[fast pumice]

Shouldn't be too bad if I go in with a mosd and just ignore the monolithians on the way in.

[tender moon]

Hello, how do i know which faction an NPC is from? I find people inside homes and never know if they will shoot me on sight or not

[orchid kiln]

what the hell do you think they all do there? those bunk beds are suspicious

[fast pumice]

Look at them?

[timber oak]

bleh

[fast pumice]

Should be a blip next to your health UI that says their name and faction.

[tender moon]

Sorry i meant if that faction is friendly or not, in shadow of chernobyl the color of the cross air would change

[hybrid canopy]

PDA > relations

[elfin pine]

pda > relations

[hybrid canopy]

you can learn to recognize the factions based on their gear though

[elfin pine]

then aim at someone, you'll see a faction patch appear next to the health hud

[fast pumice]

Unless they're wearing a trenchcoat, then good luck.

[elfin pine]

alternatively - settings > visual > ui/hud > show crosshair

[lusty ermine]

i mean you can also turn on the crosshair in settings

[hybrid canopy]

yeah thats the one exception I was thinking of but meh

[tight scaffold]

What faction are you playing with?

[fast pumice]

The amount of times I almost smoked an ally because they come around a corner and I see a trench coat.

[tender moon]

Ok ok thanks guys, i'm not really good at remembering badges so i was having a hard time

[quasi tree]

Uhh
I just picked up a steyr scout 7.62 from a mercenary and for some reason the scope doesn't have anything
Like no dot or line

[tender moon]

Loner

[elfin pine]

!noscope

[hearty saffron]

@quasi tree To fix missing scope reticles with 3DSS enabled:

1. Go to Settings -> Modded Exes > Visual > Shader Scopes, make sure 3DSS is on
2. Go to Settings -> Visual -> Advanced, make sure AA and SMAA are off
3. Restart the game

[fast pumice]

Bandits, Mercenaries, Military, Renegades, ISG, and Monolith are hostile to you.

And Sidorovich, so you should kill him.

[tender moon]

Everyone is an A hole basically

[rich flint]

Basically

[tight scaffold]

I'd love to kill that bastard

Sadly, it is not possible

[zealous karma]

Guys whats the best exo PSU again?

[fast pumice]

For what purpose?

[rich flint]

What truly amazes me is that no one fed him some lead between classic STALKER and STALKER 2

[toxic flint]

This is the dream

[fast pumice]

If general use, probably Reactor as its the most efficient.

[mild shoal]

jerry rugged

anything more and you're compensating

[hybrid wedge]

Apparently he's basically the only thing keeping the military from just wiping out the stalkers until ward moved in, dont know why ward let him live tho

[orchid kiln]

also the AOE can come in clutch

[fast pumice]

For when the Zone decides to spawn 20 fucking cats.

[mild shoal]

if i were to be compensating tho, id use engine.

[teal summit]

It's finally installing gamma 💔

[orchid kiln]

exactly or a snork is doing his little dance around you

[wheat ice]

How to kill this stupid ghost zombie in swamps

[fast pumice]

Shoot it until it dies.

Or lead to towards NPCs.

[orchid kiln]

get him out of the house

[toxic flint]

I must have raided 15 yellow stashes in Jupiter, and I just did 2 in Pripyat, and 0 expert tools. Just endless advanced tools. Feels bad

[orchid kiln]

he just gibs

[wheat ice]

I can't get out there is wooden panel

[orchid kiln]

OK, jump on the stove and knife him to death

[wheat ice]

He's so tanky bruh

[fast pumice]

Climb on the stove, he can't reach you.

[wheat ice]

Ty

[fast pumice]

Crouch then climb.

[quasi tree]

@elfin pine thanks man
It works now

[teal summit]

Btw chat
Gamma audio is in ukrainian or russian?

[elfin pine]

russian, just like trilogy

[orchid kiln]

blend of both

[manic vale]

game crashes when i press ctrl to crounch

anybody have the same

[orchid kiln]

some words are used more by ukrainians, but the places, names etc are more russians

[teal summit]

Okay okay

[fast pumice]

Woe, Sultansk be upon ye.

[quasi tree]

This game is intense
I thought fighting bandits and mutants was hard but I got sent on a mission to deal with a bunch of mercs and these guys are tough
Even the things they say sound like some advanced tactical miltitary stuff
Also the AI in this game can go from dumb as rocks to navy seal

[orchid kiln]

although if you play the new trilogy on steam GSC did a bit of revisionism, so its more ukrainian now

[fast pumice]

Just play the original games.

[toxic flint]

Ya the AI has impressed me lately. You can't let your guard down

[orchid kiln]

mercs have insane gear and use AP, they are a step above MOST factions

also yeah, their AI is much more tactical

[teal summit]

It would be cool if i could change everything to ukrainian 💔

[fast pumice]

I usually kill Mercs until I get what I want from them then work towards making them friendly.

[vernal magnet]

AI: 'let me reload my gun after firing only 5 shots in the open while remaining completely stationary'

also AI: 'ok he's camping at that spot so all of us should flank him using as much cover as possible'

[orchid kiln]

trust me, there is no point, if you are not a russian speaker, you would not know the difference

[quasi tree]

YO REALL
I JUST GOT A M4A1 FROM ONE OF THESE DUDES

I CANT WAIT TO FIX THIS THING UP AND GO CRAZY

[elfin pine]

there are community made translations for text and whatnot into ukrainian, but not for voicelines

[orchid kiln]

thats pretty common, mercs have an insane drop table

[rancid loom]

Am I blind or is there no reload here

[quasi tree]

M4A1 IS COMMON??????

[teal summit]

I don't speak russian, that's true 💔

[quasi tree]

What else do they have
Gauss rifle??

[lusty ermine]

!how2reload

[hearty saffron]

@rancid loom How to reload your gun:
If you are playing vanilla GAMMA: your unjam key = your reload key.
If you are playing with MAGAZINE MODS:

1. Make sure you disabled the "GAMMA Unjam reload on the same key" mod
2. Make sure you separately rebind the Reload command ("Reload Weapon & Put PDA Away") and the Unjam command ("Reload weapon/Unjam Weapon/PDA away")
3. Make sure you added magazines to your loadout (alt-click or right click -> "add to loadout")

• Make sure your outfit actually has a slot that fits the mag (hint: PPSh drum mag is Large, the starting Sunrise suit has no Large mag slots)

[teal summit]

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-does-he-know-gif-26833694

[elfin pine]

oh it might actually have voices

but

one issue - last update 2023

[orchid kiln]

yeah, the M4 tactical is a 40 mag version

[lusty ermine]

i should also note that ukr translation causes a crash on launch

[quasi tree]

https://tenor.com/view/black-ops-woods-cod-gif-17392574626699745990

[lusty ermine]

because it leaves in an xml file with cyrillic in the name

and that causes teh game to crash on launch

easy fix - just delete it. the game can't even use it.

[uneven cobalt]

Not mercs but UNISG have it

[elfin pine]

[teal summit]

That was like last year

[lusty ermine]

but it doesn't exactly fill me with confidence re: quality of the mod

[quasi tree]

Damn son

[red wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/davy-jones-2014-wtf-realization-now-gif-17253163176758657587

[orchid kiln]

@quasi tree may I suggest you check the GAMMA db? https://stalker-gamma-db.com/db/gamma-0.9.4/all-weapons?lang=en

[uneven cobalt]

they're pretty similar

[mild shoal]

what does ?

[quasi tree]

Will do

[elfin pine]

oh edit

https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-call-of-pripyat/downloads/new-ua-localization-gamma-trend

use this instead

[teal summit]

2014 was like 4 years ago or something

[orchid kiln]

holy shit, crazy find

[rancid loom]

oh bruh, I had mags enabled before this playthrough, it prolly switched back to F10 as reload. I was still looking for "Reload Weapon & Put PDA Away" (I'm deadass blind)

[opaque spear]

best complimentary artys for the ace merc suit?

[orchid kiln]

that's who saves you when there is no campfire around

[lusty ermine]

yeah i noticed that your unjam is unbound and that is your issue

[teal summit]

Artem from metro? 💀

[crisp maple]

as much as i am liking not getting one shot with this new armour, jesus christ i feel slow

[elfin pine]

For ballistic res:
Compass, Full Empty, Empty, Heart of the Oasis, Pseudogiant Pelt
If you have belt slots for it then use Fireball and or Flame

[sick grove]

thats artyom

[teal summit]

ë

[opaque spear]

I only have 5 slots for the suit.

[mild shoal]

https://klipy.com/gifs/artem-artem

even tho its not artem

[teal summit]

Now i gotta wait to complete the download 💔

[quasi tree]

This shit crazy bro
I thought only the main games had gauss rifle
I still remember the first time I got this in SOC, shit is amazing
I'm gonna get back to the game
Good hunting stalkers

[sick grove]

pretty sure every game and modded iterations have gauss rifles

[fast pumice]

The only game without the Gauss Rifle is CS.

[orchid kiln]

You get it following the main story missions, it is very useful with the infra sight

[red wyvern]

another cs L

[orchid kiln]

what

in CS you get the gauss rifle to defeat strelok's psy helmet

[fast pumice]

That's the EM rifle.

[vernal magnet]

very easy to get confused, see

[orchid kiln]

[fast pumice]

No physical projectile.

[sick grove]

same model, different application of doom

[fast pumice]

Also non-lethal.

[quasi tree]

The dudes on YouTube made me believe this is a full on tactical survival type game so I thought it wouldn't have it
I'm glad I was wrong

[crisp maple]

are there any ways to upgrade movespeed on armour? i feel so slow now after swapping to heavy armour

[orchid kiln]

also, when do you get the gauss rifle in CoP? I don't remember

[fast pumice]

It's derived from the Gauss Rifle research, but CS couldn't figure out how to power it properly so they went with what they made.

[sick grove]

its tactical yeah, till you get hit in the face with a RPG

[crisp maple]

but i was getting one shot without it

[orchid kiln]

I haven't played CoP since gunslinger first dropped

[fast pumice]

When you kill Preacher, he drops it and there's a quest to fix it.

[quasi tree]

Oh shit
Emission

[sick grove]

you search for one from a monolith commander believing it shot the helicopters down in CoP

[orchid kiln]

F my GOAT lebedev

[fast pumice]

The EM rifle in CS is probably the reason why Monolith has the Gauss Rifle.

[orchid kiln]

does he always drop it?

[fast pumice]

It's a whole animation.

[sick grove]

its a main story event so yeah

[zealous karma]

Yo where can i buy the PSU reactor as an merc?

[fast pumice]

He dies and falls forward off the building.

The gun falls with him.

[sick grove]

lvl5 goodwill at any trader, but as a recipe you need to make yourself the physical item

[red wyvern]

yeah, its got like a whole questline with our beloved drunken mech unless I remember wrong

[fast pumice]

But is destroyed and needs to be repaired.

[orchid kiln]

or Lebedev and Kalancha probably helped Monolith finish it

[zealous karma]

Ik but i have max goodwil with freedom and mercs and they dont have it

[fast pumice]

Kalancha never went to the CNPP.

[orchid kiln]

oh yeahh, I forgot Cardan was part of the research

[fast pumice]

Lebedev probably though.

[zealous karma]

3k freedom 3k merc 2790 free stalkers

[orchid kiln]

yeah but, their work helped monos finish it

[sick grove]

the general traders, its a big book looking object that'll cost you a pretty penny

[fast pumice]

There's also Monolith corpses in the Gauss Rifle lab in CoP.

[orchid kiln]

oh yeah truee

[rancid ridge]

Are the laser modules cosmetic or is there a way to turn them on because I haven't found a keybind for them

[fast pumice]

Likely them going in to get research notes and prototypes after CS.

[orchid kiln]

feels like the monolith has first dibs on all the goodies early on

[sick grove]

hold L

[zealous karma]

I had it before dw im not new i just cant find it and im just confused

[rancid loom]

is it smarter to use a medium gas mask (M40) or a medium helmet? (like the ACH for example)

[sick grove]

whichever you want, I'd personally go for the gas mask since you don't get hit often in the face anyway

[orchid kiln]

depends on what you do, for artifacts? the former, combat the latter

[rancid ridge]

It's doing an animation but nothing is turning on

[rancid loom]

both

[sick grove]

I believe it was related to what DX version you're using, what u on

[orchid kiln]

then the gasmask, helmet ballistic res is dogshit anyway you cut it, or shoot it in this case

[rancid ridge]

Probably not the right one if that's the case

[quasi sierra]

[quasi sierra]

It's not

[fast pumice]

Ig even the CCon wasn't fully aware of all the experiments in the zone.

[sick grove]

not even aware of things going on around the zone much tbh

[orchid kiln]

yeah, they were part of the experiments, also explains why Lebedev didn't have a full picture of what happened after the 2nd disaster

[fast pumice]

But yeah, Kalancha is probably still alive.

Potentially outside of the zone.

[wild patrol]

MAN THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT, third fucking gunsmithing tools in a row

[orchid kiln]

one plot point I wish they explored more was the existence of Monolith sleeper agents outside the zone

[wild patrol]

WHERE ARE THE BASIC KITS, i need to craft ADV still

[fast pumice]

They still could ig.

But that doesn't seem to be what S2 wants to focus on.

[sick grove]

get outta the swamps stalker

[wild patrol]

I'm at the garbage

[orchid kiln]

like how do monolithians fund their rock worship, insane gear and ammo

[mild shoal]

thats 40$ at a tech, 40 is 40

[fast pumice]

Because if the death trucks go as far south as Cordon, they could potentially bypass the southern checkpoint.

[orchid kiln]

it's the size of a small army

[wild patrol]

I swear to god if these 2 aren't at least basic i'll fucking delete this save

[fast pumice]

They had fucking F2000s.

[orchid kiln]

yup, always been a plot point that they have some insane sponsors

[mild shoal]

two drug kits

[rustic oasis]

What was the ETA for the quest fixes/additions to be finished? Does anyone know?

[sick grove]

that and a large supply of exoskeletons and advanced suits

[fast pumice]

Keep an eye out for Toz-194s too.

[wild patrol]

Still not basic tools!

[crisp maple]

this bloodsucker just tanked 2 chimera hunter shots point blank to the head it is so over

[mild shoal]

i met a merc with the nice fn2000 earleir. The amount of restraint it took me not to put him down like a dog

[quasi sierra]

!task ?

[hearty saffron]

@rustic oasis Having problems with a certain task? #╭📖faq message

[wild patrol]

Anyway, in stalker 2 they explain how the hell does monolith have so much good shit like rpgs and exoskeletons for half their army

[orchid kiln]

yeah, i don't remember who first developed exos though

[fast pumice]

Ukrainian scientists outside of the zone iirc.

[rustic oasis]

I am not having any troubles with any task

[sick grove]

military contracts, problem was the energy supply

[quasi sierra]

So what's your issue

[rustic oasis]

@quasi sierra - how about read the question

[orchid kiln]

which artis fixed

[fast pumice]

They were never approved for official use.

[mild shoal]

i always just assumed there was stockpiles in the labs

[lusty ermine]

which quest fixes

[fast pumice]

So ig they just kinda shoved them into the zone.

[lusty ermine]

just saying "quest fixes" doesn't exactly narrow things down

[rustic oasis]

When will the quests be updated/changed

[wild patrol]

Why would a huge stockpile of guns and experimental military armors be in labs?

Nah, the monos have external suppliers

After all, even the mind controlled dudes need to eat to keep moving

[quasi sierra]

Would be easier if english was my first language

[sick grove]

casual X18 suit inside a locker in SoC

[wild patrol]

That was one suit

[fast pumice]

The Monolithian stalker shits are likely the old security suits of the X-Labs.

[orchid kiln]

technically, exos should be giga rare because the plant making them has been shut down, which makes S2 giving every mono an exo after the duga mission a bit stupid

[wild patrol]

And inside the lab x-18 too
