[sinful violet]

in the artefact empowering details it says i have to use another artefact of the same kind, does that mean i can only empower empty with another empty?

[elfin pine]

yes

[tight lake]

I really do wonder where i could be, the stone on the right definetly doesnt show

[dense copper]

Yooo-

[orchid kiln]

I always thought that metro station north east in the radar looked suspiciously underdeveloped, plus, there are tons of unfinished underground locations, so it's not far fetched

and the S2 x18 is pretty good so fingers crossed

[elfin pine]

the collapsed tunnel was meant to be the "original" entrance to X-19, also why the section name is "bunker"
fits more than entering through some maintenance tunnel

[celest axle]

either i am blind or i dont see no stone

[elfin pine]

would be good if they expanded upon stuff

[orchid kiln]

why did they change it

[elfin pine]

[fast pumice]

I thought the military captured Radar at the end of SoC.

[orchid kiln]

the game engine perfectly describes the company

[fast pumice]

What'd they do? Run away after the emission?

[pliant phoenix]

@elfin pine do you also use this weapon pack? does it work good with normal gamma`?

[celest axle]

thats a blurry window no ideea best i can say not outskirts or any lower areas exept dark valley

[orchid kiln]

fwp is stable with GAMMA, don't worry

[elfin pine]

No but it should work just fine

[tight lake]

its the wish granter

[indigo saffron]

remember to disable meatchuck pre fetcher if you using it, it only works for base gamma

[elfin pine]

prefetcher doesn't even work on base gamma atm

[indigo saffron]

R.I.P

[celest axle]

holy shit xD the way its shaped i thought it was a fuck ass window

[tight lake]

fairs

[orchid kiln]

the wish granter been real quiet since the wish withholder showed up

[indigo saffron]

https://giphy.com/gifs/apcgifs-X7Bckr1JaJS1opWTzO

[orchid kiln]

is that real

[indigo saffron]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/802276003598434334/1159221161444507790/FzGUNByXgAYOJwa.gif

[fast pumice]

What does the wish withholder do? Promise to melt your brain only to legitimately grant wishes?

[celest axle]

now that would explain the blue pillar, and the big room you can see.My first guess with such big room was train depo but that has entrence on both sides and here one side is blocked

[orchid kiln]

it doesn't do anything, it's a red herring surrounded by monos

[tight lake]

lmao yeah no im doing the mortal sin quest and i decided to go see the wish granter for the second time but that fucked me so im restarting and losing some progress

[dense copper]

Is there like a spawn trigger between thr first and second sandbag checkpoint on the way up?? Cause i had like, 5-6 dudes come out of absolutely nowhere?

[dense copper]

Right by the curving stone walls, i mean

[celest axle]

if the photo would have been brighter i could have guessed better xD, also quick question as UNISG where would you make your base?Consider that you are friend with only freedom,mercs and other unisg

[tight lake]

oh i havent played unisg yet

[trim knoll]

guys, where do controllers spawn the most? i need to farm for the compass craft

[restive sentinel]

outskirts and zaton

[vernal magnet]

you'll probably find a bunch roaming around in outskirts

[celest axle]

its kinda hard but lets imagine .Enemy with everyone exept freedom,mercs and unisg where would you make your base late game? .I dont want dead city or army warehouses

[dusky raptor]

cant stand walking encumbered

[trim knoll]

thanks, thought about going Yantar tbh
btw i think PKM Zenith is a crazy gun, cheap as fuck ammo in bulk, and so pretty, accurate, mag with 100 rounds, crazy rate of fire and good control with upgrades..

[dusky raptor]

has to be the most mind numbing boring thing on the planet

[trim knoll]

also i somehow killed a chimera with a single bullet from it, idk how

[tight lake]

you have loads of choices just some are risky, you could go to outskirts, the hospital, zaton, i currently have a spot in yantar thats just underground but im an ecologist so im safe

[celest axle]

prob low hp from other stalkers

[celest axle]

i would lowk fuck with the hospital but arent there monolith like shit? like 100 spawning every day

[tight lake]

yeah and sin but yo ucould clear it or find a good spot to hide idk

[celest axle]

could work

outskirts where though? random apartaments?

[wild patrol]

Jesus, didn't knew my bullets could do that

[trim knoll]

(sorry for phone camera)
look at this thicc beauty

[tight lake]

yeah you dont have great options but theres loads of empty ones

[celest axle]

rn i need to befriend freedom from there we start looking for a base ty for ideeas

[solid plume]

whats in your primary slot?

also i'm not aware of the sidearm either

[uncut hull]

dayum he got his head blown seeing your sniper skills

[restive sentinel]

DS Arms and Vector

[solid plume]

okay thanks :3

[uncut hull]

btw anyone knows where are radio music files located? I have a sudden urge to play GAMMA with Oneshot music

[restive sentinel]

I also used SVD-S Retribution a lot during the run cuz it was very cheap

[solid plume]

I'm assuming thats a unique variant of the SVD-S?

[restive sentinel]

Yea it's like SVD-S but with an additional collimator on a side

[paper pecan]

5- Anomaly Radio Extended in mo2

[uncut hull]

thanks

[paper pecan]

Wait base radios or PDA radio

[restive sentinel]

used it mostly because of rechamber to 5.56 which is blatently OP and is getting removed next patch

[solid plume]

oh also what battery pack do you recommend?

[restive sentinel]

battery with a battery, i don't use the special power

[paper pecan]

That one is for base radios, there's another mod for PDA radio

[tiny stirrup]

I'm in wild territory and I recently passed by an Anomaly that was this shadowy, wispy black ball that floated around and did fucked up things to my screen as I got near. Didn't get close enough for my PDA to give me a guide but couldn't find time to screenshot it due to being shot at by mercs. Any ideas as to what it was?

[solid plume]

is that because its a cheap option?

[restive sentinel]

correct, additionally you can buy it relatively early

[radiant relic]

can you get into the Monolith war lab without debug? and where are the stashes it's supposed to unlock?

[dense copper]

I had a fucking emission happen on my way up lmfao

[restive sentinel]

you gotta do Mysteries of the Zone questline to get inside

[dense copper]

and apparently, those big ol fucking radar sphere tower thingies count as shelter

[paper pecan]

The camping tent counts as shelter

[tiny stirrup]

Like wtf

[steep pawn]

!noclip

[hearty saffron]

@steep pawn
You'll need to enable debug mode first: #╭📖faq message

1. Press Numpad 0, this will put you in noclip mode.
If you don't have a numpad, open the console with ~, type demo_record 1 into the console and hit Enter
2. Move around with WASD and go forward and backward with left click and right click
3. Press Enter to "land", press ESC to leave noclip mode without teleporting.

[solid plume]

Can you actually use the anabiotics to sleep through an emission safely?

[restive sentinel]

yea

even out the open

[dense copper]

get close to it

[solid plume]

wow i expected it to be another false description lol

[nova folio]

psygheist
they sometimes one-shot you and don't operate like normal gheists

as in they always see you no matter what you do its weird

[tiny stirrup]

I just ran into it
It dgaf

[buoyant fjord]

hi, is it possible to somehow change the blue laser pointer to red?

[radiant relic]

how do i get access to that quest?

[restive sentinel]

it's a life saviour actually

[tiny stirrup]

Okay now it killed me

[restive sentinel]

kill Swamp Doctor

[paper pecan]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1470768459313975306 ?

[radiant relic]

weird - will that screw up anything?

[restive sentinel]

absolutely not

check pinned msges tbh

[radiant relic]

im about to slime out chernobog for Final Sin and i remembered to look there

[tiny stirrup]

Are they a killable form of geist?

[wispy quartz]

would it affect the main story if i changed factions from clear sky to mercenaries

[nova folio]

yea shoot an inch above the center of the orb

[tiny stirrup]

ahh

[restive sentinel]

no, all good

[paper pecan]

I hate geist hitboxes so much

[wispy quartz]

very nice

[nova folio]

might break your story might not

the Player dialogue generates upon character creation, changing faction could lead to crashes if dialogue is missing

[tiny stirrup]

if only there wasn't a sniper merc being a dickhead

[wispy quartz]

mmm

i will try and see what happens

[tiny stirrup]

oneshot it 🤣 pseudogeist.
It was real creepy looking

[radiant relic]

where are the stashes for "tourist" where you go to every place in the zone?

[paper pecan]

Disappointed this mod isn't called Borks Anomaly Lights and LaserS (BALLS)

[nova folio]

just random white stashes

[wild patrol]

Not the scar i was looking for, but i'll take it

[paper pecan]

Scar?

[wild patrol]

Yeah

[autumn elk]

Hi guys. I just crafted the 1PN93-1 Night Vision headgear. Is there an option to make the NV overlay cover the whole screen instead of a circle in the middle?

[tiny stirrup]

dude this merc has crazy ass sightlines

[gentle dagger]

Check the NVG settings in MCM

[paper pecan]

Beefs nvgs in MCM

[tiny stirrup]

shooting inbetween three buildings and a tree to hit me and he's doing so accurately

[gentle dagger]

Mercs are insane. I can't walk through WIld Territory without getting shot from the construction site

I always have to camp behind the truck and find the guy before I can move

[tiny stirrup]

That's whats happening rn it's one mercenary hitting repeated shots on me while im running by the crispy train anomaly

[soft bloom]

anyone know of any mods that add CZ pistols?

[dull tartan]

how to fix this? who know?

[elfin pine]

!mosintemp

[hearty saffron]

@dull tartan, follow this guide: #🔨base-gamma-support message

[dull tartan]

THANK

[green grail]

chicago style aiming

[autumn elk]

Thanks guys. I didn't realize it was intentional. Maybe I'll just leave that for the higher tiers then.

[gentle dagger]

Yeah, you get used to the centered NVG after a while. I kinda start to miss it with high tiers

[tiny stirrup]

Swear to god these guys can see through walls bro I ran across the entire wall hidden the entire time and the moment i start to clmb it he fucking nails me in the arm and takes half my health

[green grail]

i like using shit gear, it doesnt make u feel too comfortable

[tiny stirrup]

holy fuck he got me through a warehouse window pane as I was walking by it with a headshot and killed me what is this guy smoking

And here I thought I was going to just leave them be this time around.

[nova folio]

NPCs in "sniper positions" are scripted to be...snipers
perfect eyesight perfect accuracy, low rate of fire

its weird

[real forge]

Because the game worked better with X-19 being at the place full of monolithians maybe?????????????

[livid glen]

Did weapon repair system get changed? I played a while ago and remember using ramorods and files to repair weapon parts, but now I can't use them at all

[tiny stirrup]

I'll get back to you in a minute but this mf without a doubt is not using a sniper

[nova folio]

yea a bit
got streamlined/simplified

now its cleaning kits + repair kits

[elfin pine]

!repair / it was changed in 2024, ramrods and files are crafting material

[hearty saffron]

Very sad

[tiny stirrup]

This is straight up just obnoxious

[restive sentinel]

2 years ago

[nova folio]

thats not what i meant

NPCs can walk into a sniper position with a fucking PM

[crisp bronze]

the more i progress through the game the more the game keeps crashing. any ways to limit that ?

[tiny stirrup]

I know what u meant it's just 9/10 these guys are using ass weapons and hitting shots

[livid glen]

Bruh I need 60% parts to repair now, so sad

[autumn elk]

Good to know this isn't an uncommon sentiment

[tiny stirrup]

bandit on the bridge in cordon was using a fully automatic smg and consecutively hitting shots on me

[nova folio]

yea its a sniper spot

[paper pecan]

Cordon bridge the great filter

[gentle dagger]

You can drag and drop to change out every part other than the barrel, and you can always pull them off other guns

[livid glen]

I know, just don't have anything on hand sadly

[tiny stirrup]

Professional too so yk he's using high quality gear. Loot for me :)

[livid glen]

I hoard pretty much anything useable, but it turned out 2/3 of my stash falls outside of "useable"

[tiny stirrup]

[crisp bronze]

any ideas guys ?

[paper pecan]

Modpack moment

[crisp bronze]

cant i sort like some mods that are not mandatory to minimize the problem ?

[tiny stirrup]

Holy shit I forgot I had a beacon artifact. LOL. This is so broken

[regal ember]

how i can pick an artiffact if its on the air D:

[gentle dagger]

Wait for it to land, try not to run into another anomaly

If it's Mama's Beads, say goodbye to gear durability

[soft bloom]

did you try standing on your tippy toes?

[regal ember]

dont look like it will land, its suspenden in the air

[snow shoal]

Can you potentially join any faction even if they are hostile? For example I play as a loner and later decide to become a mercenary, can I pay for a ceasefire and then just switch?

[paper pecan]

I don't know enough to be able to tell you what to disable, I just know adding 500+ mods is bound to make the game less stable

[paper arch]

"Extraction"
okay, maybe I kinda get why momo thinks the "" names are dogshit

[carmine tide]

Upgrade your pc

[tiny stirrup]

It was literally only snipers left because a pseudogiant tore them a new one

[carmine tide]

Yes

[crisp bronze]

yeah i get that, but its just kinda of inconsistent like the longer my save lasts, the more it does it, btw i feel like my game gets laggier too the more i play on the same save its weird

[snow shoal]

I thought they would still shoot you if you get too close?

[paper pecan]

Oh that's just because as you hoard more things the game starts running worse

[carmine tide]

Gamma has a disguise system use that to your advantage and you can become friendly with a hostile faction

[soft bloom]

Got to use a disguise

[gentle dagger]

You can disguise yourself as them, do quests to increase your rep and after a while they'll become neutral

[crisp bronze]

i thought so i was scared of that

[timber oak]

what a lovely discription

[snow shoal]

I see, I am aware but I never had a need for a disguise. Thats neat.

[gentle dagger]

Yep, I always try to be friends with as many factions as possible, except Bandits

[snow shoal]

To join monolith I just enter the next psy anomaly though right

[paper arch]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-ishowspeed-phone-speed-legendary-stream-speed-phone-gif-4108923420328591811

[gentle dagger]

Naturally

[snow shoal]

Zombiefied playthrough <3

[paper arch]

ceasefires only work at a certain distance
you can't get too close to the NPCs

[paper pecan]

TFR spotted

[crisp bronze]

whats the point of a monolith playthrough ? anihilate the entire map and factions ?

[viral raven]

Yes

[paper arch]

the only way to join an outright hostile faction is to join a middle faction that isn't hostile to you or the faction you actually want to join

[paper pecan]

murderhobo but you have more ppl to shoot

[crisp bronze]

right and is there an actual main quest that leads to that ?

[snow shoal]

I see, yeah as others said a disguise is the right way

[carmine tide]

What greater purpose is there than to spread the word of the monolith down to cordon

[gentle dagger]

Also, disguises only work if you have less than 1000 negative rep, if you have more you'll need to pay first to fix it

[paper arch]

basically, yes
warfare mode is the most amount of fun you'll get out of it

[paper arch]

nope, there's nothing

[timber oak]

can we get a moment of silence for fat ivan

[crisp bronze]

ok yeah i can see myself doing that one day sounds fun

[bold solstice]

is the inital stalker count when starting a new game supposed to be low? I know more populate after a few days but usually in previous verisions of GAMMA with zcp at .85 stalkers I would have like 700-800 of them. I only have around 350 when starting a new game now

[gentle dagger]

And Sidorovich will still fucking scam you even if he's praising the Wish Granter

[paper arch]

I do recommend EFP over GAMMA for warfare
for obvious reasons

[snow shoal]

I thought Warfare mode isnt working? I read that a year ago though :3

[paper arch]

kinda works but not really
EFP is much better for that

[crisp bronze]

never played EFP, just saw some vids about it, is it that much different from gamma ?

[viral raven]

Helo

[snow shoal]

Same

[paper arch]

you can buy guns, the progression is much quicker, it has mags by default, BHS is more complex, suit repair is more complex and the ballistic system is much easier

[sonic kelp]

its as similar to gamma as tarkov is to stalker

[crisp bronze]

so its like gamma for rookies

[elfin pine]

EFP is just Anomaly++ with mags and allat

its harder than gamma

because gamma is babymode anomaly that tries to be tarkov

[paper arch]

not really? idk

[elfin pine]

even vanilla anomaly is harder than gamma in its own ways

[crisp bronze]

hmm okay

[elfin pine]

everyone hails gamma as a "hardcore" modpack because they can't do shit themselves and cry

[hybrid wedge]

I think the word oflin is looking for is "different"

[paper arch]

idk about that
the ballistic system on its own makes things WAY easier

[hybrid wedge]

Gamma is def not hardcore, but neither is vanilla anomaly, their challenges are simply different

[paper arch]

you can legit one-tap exos with 7N1

[elfin pine]

well that's the "anomaly++" thing same ballistics

but then you also get the same treatment from npcs

and you will see exos down south and shit

so good luck fighting that

[bold solstice]

I feel like niether are really hardcore. I'm pretty sure Misery was one of the very few hardcore ones no?

[paper arch]

free loot

[crisp bronze]

i always thought gamma was kinda hardcore like its definetly not easy for a first timer

[snow shoal]

You see that in Gamma too

[hybrid wedge]

You have to recognize this discord is filled with CBT enjoyers, "hardcore" means literally fucking impossible to them

[elfin pine]

gamma has a mod to despawn exos in south maps

same as despawning monolith/sin/isg

[viral raven]

What game is easy for a first time player

[crisp bronze]

but when u get the hang of it and eventually late game gear then yeah it kinda loses the hardcore vibe

[hybrid wedge]

I have no doubts gamma is hardcore to new players who dont like cbt

[elfin pine]

ofc AW/Dead City aside

[paper arch]

for a first timer, I guess not
but for anyone with at least some experience with stalker, it's really not a hard modpack
MISERY with Gunslinger is way harder
as is AREA

[elfin pine]

those are essentially north

[hybrid wedge]

Same with vanilla anomaly or efp

[snow shoal]

Months ago I saw a duty exo in Army Warehouse and picked a fight with it

[crisp bronze]

many other solo games are WAYYY more intuitive than gamma is

[elfin pine]

i corrected my statement

because i knew that would be brought up as the one example

[hybrid wedge]

I blew up a duty exoskeleton user with bombs and stol their gun

[snow shoal]

Yee got it

[gentle dagger]

Uh guys, what is this and why does translating it send me to the Stalker 2 trailer? Is it just an easter egg?

[paper arch]

there's just a lot to take in at first, so yeah

[crisp bronze]

tbf i really only played gamma modpack it suits my gamestyle by a fuck ton

[elfin pine]

!pdaerror

[hearty saffron]

@gentle dagger

Just ignore it.

Critical Error on top of certain tasks was done on purpose to prevent autofailing once accepted through the PDA Taskboard.
It can also appear on tasks that require you to go into maps you can't access yet.

HEX code is just an easter egg, something similar to the "Kill Strelok" PDA.

[bold solstice]

Yeah thats true. I think there is a fine line between self tourture and fun gameplay. Can you withstand what is being thrown at you and enjoy it? if yes great if not it may be hardcore for >YOU<. Its all relative.

[hybrid wedge]

gamma's difficulty / challenges are more fun than efp's imho

[paper arch]

idk, the ballistic system is still something I dislike even though I get its purpose

[hybrid wedge]

Which is why im playing gamma and not efp, obviously

[nova folio]

0.9.7 gamma adds Tarkov's traders
in 0.9.8 theres new Interchange map

[hybrid wedge]

I just like the logistics of gamma if anything

[elfin pine]

my initial experience with efp wasn't nice because it was very different to anomaly/gamma

i disliked the mags system, i didn't like starting loadout balance, i disliked the bloated med system, keybinds were horrible

but

[tiny stirrup]

Bandit snuck up on me and shot me in the ass with an AP slug.

I lived bitch

[elfin pine]

i do acknowledge my own issues and said multiple times that i'm willing to give it a fair chance

[paper arch]

yeah, the hobo phase/getting better shit is the best part about gamma

[snow shoal]

Gamma also sounds cooler so theres that

[elfin pine]

FUSION might be just that tbh

[bold solstice]

Yes this. My progression being tied to risk feels great. I haven't played EFP in years. Can you still be geared completely from 1 kill?

[paper arch]

tbf, you can disable bhs and mags

[tiny stirrup]

Feeling it rn. I've never been able to survive close quarters with someone who had a shotgun

[hybrid wedge]

Gamma is much less an FPS challenge and more of a logistics challenge, its not "am i skilled enough to win" its more like "will this quest get me enough to profit" for me at least

[elfin pine]

i don't like approaching a product with a mindset of "just delete xyz"

[hybrid wedge]

I havent played it in a while either lol

[elfin pine]

its like people saying that you should only play trilogy games with mods

[bold solstice]

And is it worth it to actual engage in a fight and waste resources

[paper arch]

I do, sometimes

[elfin pine]

when they're perfectly playable vanilla

[snow shoal]

Its a mix of both to me and area dependant

[elfin pine]

well i'm happy for you

[hybrid wedge]

Ofc but its perfectly fine to delete objectively bad things

[elfin pine]

but "fair" is "fair"

like

its like those people who review gamma while not playing the base gamma experience

[hybrid wedge]

The only thing that gets me killed anymore in gamma is trying to save ammo ngl

[elfin pine]

and they excuse it by saying that its modular or that this or that made no sense

but they present it as the default package

[snow shoal]

Fight Sin up north and get one tapped

[paper arch]

"gamma review"

black market
disabled gamma economy

[potent iron]

Already can in gamma. In my UNISG playthrough I fought an exo man that ate over an entire mag to his face at the military checkpoint in Cordon. Dunno if that has to do with the UNISG playthrough or what.

[hybrid wedge]

Get a full empty chud

[elfin pine]

some latest reviewer complained about the repair system or maybe explained it, then proceeded to spawn in guns with debug

so uhh

yea

[snow shoal]

I rather want those cool power forceshields that eat bullets

[elfin pine]

that..... has to be an isg thing

[potent iron]

I'm actually curious if playing UNISG or a northern faction causes more exos to show up.

[snow shoal]

How can people be this mentally handicapped

[elfin pine]

i only seen exos in Dead City/Army Warehouses in the 2000 whatever hours

[hybrid wedge]

Its not even complicated, honestly the part names are just too long and thats the only hard part

[snow shoal]

Gammas systems are to me great, complex but not unnecessary so

[bold solstice]

I think playing UNISG does?? I remember seeing exo bandits in garbage after coming down south. Though over time I believe exo's and higher level stalkers spawn more

[gentle dagger]

Yeah, that's like the only complicated part and even then all you need to do is move your cursor to the thing you want to repair and it'll highlight the compatible parts

[hybrid wedge]

No its not, exos can occasionally spawn further down south, ive had an exo spawn in agroprom when i was raiding it as merc, and some of the assault quests can spawn them aswell

[snow shoal]

QoL is amazing

[hybrid wedge]

Im sure its just "random exo decided to wander down south for 0 reason" tho

[paper arch]

the parts should be renamed to generic shit like "Shotgun barrel" because that's how they're used anyway

[bold solstice]

The merc quest to fight monolith in Limasnk does.

[elfin pine]

specific npc models get despawned tho, like that's just coded in

[potent iron]

In this case this was part of the military checkpoint and it was right at the beginning of the game

[sick grove]

I don't even read the part names, I just hover over my gun and see which parts highlight and switch em from there

[hybrid wedge]

Im honestly just confused why alot of them arent consolidated, theres alot of parts that exist for like 1 gun it feels

[paper arch]

@elfin pine optimistic, but is there any chance this MIGHT happen?

[potent iron]

Where all I had as a UDP-9 9mm carbine, exosuit was kind of spooky.

[hybrid wedge]

Sir this is xray engine

[solid plume]

one last thing, sorry to be a bother. are those UNISG spawns a timed thing or did you just wander between spawns hoping for a spawn? been getting a lot of sin members instead lol

[sacred trench]

is that why the guy i offered to guide to dark valley from jupiter disappeared after i got him to the spot lol

[paper arch]

R1 DE recoil spring

[snow shoal]

Lost to the Zone

[tiny stirrup]

Having bandits stalk me across cordon is crazy. I've been running since wild territory 22 lbs overloaded and they are ON my ass. I'm low on supplies genuinely scary cuz its nighttime

[sand smelt]

Gamma with prior knowledge is not difficult.

[sick grove]

ambush em

[tiny stirrup]

Using NVGs seeing their headlamps like spotlights scanning for me

[elfin pine]

well..... on my end the despawner worked flawlessly, i have never seen actual exoskeleton users in the south

you can see protoexos or exosuits... not to confuse them all
but not exoskeletons/nosorog

[restive sentinel]

by default stalkers spawn every 6 ingame hours, so sometimes i just did circles and sometimes time-skipped via sleeping to visit certain locations

[potent iron]

They shouldn't be able to see you at night, so take them out quietly.

[elfin pine]

and its been in for a LONG time

[hybrid wedge]

Even that minecraft gun mod didnt go that hard with the parts
Just generic "heavy barrel" "light barrel" "recoil spring" etc.

[elfin pine]

we're talking like near three years

[tiny stirrup]

Somehow they did. IDK how i was sneaking the entire time

[elfin pine]

well either that or he just instantly moved maps

[paper pecan]

brn180 using a 5.56 barrel to repair but shoots 7.62x39

[hybrid wedge]

Oh yes proto exos then probably

[potent iron]

I dunno, try a UNISG playthrough some time and see if any exosuiters spawn for you anywhere in Cordon. They did for me.

[hybrid wedge]

Absolutely not nosorogs tho

[tiny stirrup]

I have a Saiga with slugs so everytime i see them aggro i just one tap them lmfao

[elfin pine]

its actually funny to see that people you guided often go back to the spot they asked to be guided from

[potent iron]

He definitely didn't have a nosorog, I don't think. Whatever the base military exo was.

[tiny stirrup]

How south are we talking

[restive sentinel]

sometimes you'd meet Sin or other factions in these places

[wild patrol]

I think i found the freedom spy, guys

[elfin pine]

well tbf i played maybe two hours of isg, so i can't speak about whatever happens there

[hybrid wedge]

Oh my god

[elfin pine]

story mode factions are the primary focus in gamma

[sand smelt]

Bro died doing what he loved🥀

[paper arch]

I'd be fine with the specific parts if they were used in a specific way, but they're not
an AKS-74u uses the exact same barrel as the AK-74M

[elfin pine]

anything underneath Army Warehouses

i don't know where trucks cemetery lands actually

[dense copper]

Got through radar, it's time now

[elfin pine]

because i did see a exoskeleton renegade there recently
so one case out of.... whatever in which the despawner didn't do its thing

[restive sentinel]

break a leg

[paper pecan]

make a hard save before going in

[elfin pine]

i also don't know how Grok set it up in regards to maps

[dense copper]

Just did

[tiny stirrup]

If it counts I've seen several exoskeleton operators in Garbage, Darkscape, Dark valley (), and obvs some in agro but none in cordon or great swamps

[paper arch]

idek why this isn't scripted or something

[hybrid wedge]

Yuuurp, it also just makes repairing via replacement even more obsolete, which i personally dislike

[bold solstice]

Why is the inital stalker count so low now? I have my stalkers set to .85. Did grok lower them again?

[elfin pine]

but was it full on exoskeleton or just the light exo?

[sand smelt]

I would kinda like an item-bloatified gamma option tbh.

[tiny stirrup]

Some light, some full

[hybrid wedge]

Having all the parts to repair a gun already in my stash and/or slowly field repairing a gun over time is very rewarding to me

[sonic kelp]

can confirm, i even tried spawning some using debug mode while testing some mods and exos get almost instantly deleted (or just type 4 stalkers in general i dont remember too well)

[tiny stirrup]

Genuinely a 50/50 mix

[hybrid wedge]

Vs hurrr durr repair kit which is just buying the gun with extra steps

[paper arch]

like, SURELY, it's not that hard to make a scripted save point in the train or something

[elfin pine]

light and exo armor no skeleton ones are left alone

[sacred trench]

personally i don't remember ever seeing full exo or nosorog on south

[nova folio]

despawner seems to kick in only like half an hour or so after the game start sometimes

like if you spawn at clear sky base and run towards the nearby houses there's ISG or Monolith squad spawn

[sacred trench]

there are some models that look similar though

[tiny stirrup]

if so then i've only really seen full suits in garbage and agro

[paper pecan]

even something like not overwriting the radar autosave when you go in would be enough

[hybrid wedge]

Did have a situation where an exoskeleton bandit spawned as a part of the defend garbage mission

[dense copper]

lmao, my saves be like

[paper pecan]

cuz if you gotta leave BS for whateve reason you're probably going back to AW

[hybrid wedge]

But on reload they werent there

[dense copper]

I was honestly expecting WAY more resistance on the road up to BS lmao

[elfin pine]

i'll be keeping my eye on who i'm fighting, but just thinking of it i can 100% claim that it's medium/heavy/light armor/exosuit

[hard python]

I got that merc life rn, where do you thing would be better to set up, in dead city or freedom base?

[paper arch]

yeah
not to be all pissy or something, but Grok's done EVERYTHING but implement the most barebones softlock prevention
instead, people get softlocked, come here angry and then have to jump through hoops to actually finish BS

[sonic kelp]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1029824156289732649/1494970671497875456/TRUTHBURER.gif

[hybrid wedge]

Dead city is way safer and the merchants are closer, freedomers tend to have better missions tho

[sacred trench]

huh

[sonic kelp]

maybe im just too late game for it to really apply but the repairs get a little dull in the late game since you can find repair/cleaning kits off dead bodies

[sacred trench]

found the culprit

[sonic kelp]

i have like almost every part for every gun and the ones i dont it doesnt matter because i have like 40 repair/cleaning kits that i didnt even craft or buy

[hybrid wedge]

Yeah i know in .9.5 they're apparently going more for repair kits over replacement but... i really think the part replacement is more fun

[potent iron]

Then just conveniently forget to clean/maintain your weapons

[sonic kelp]

it is!!! thats why i think it sucks that it doesnt get to get too much love in the late game

[hard python]

They found out there was a femboy merc in there, they lined up

[sonic kelp]

maybe field stripping damage could be removed or something, i can't really think of any potential change to it that isnt a nerf to repair kits in some way

[hybrid wedge]

Consolidating parts

[paper pecan]

find green barrel 61% C gun without adv tools
field strip to swap parts
forget to clean barrel
gun is useless after two shots

[dusky otter]

can companions use nv goggles when you give it to them? + do you have to switch out the batteries for them?

[hybrid wedge]

I got a green barrel shak and did this btw

[sonic kelp]

no and no

[hybrid wedge]

NPCs dont care about the dark

[dusky otter]

ight thank you

[potent iron]

Be me, clean my 1911 to 100% pristine condition before going out, start jamming after 3 shots, 80% barrel.

[bold solstice]

yeah what is causing that? I was on the debug map testing mods and a FRESH spawned gun jammed after 5 shots

[gentle dagger]

Average 1911 experience

[sacred trench]

or bushes, which pisses me off infinitely more personally

[hybrid wedge]

Always check the jam probability

[hybrid wedge]

Should be a mod that prevents them from shooting through bushes at all

[sand smelt]

I always enable the ‘can’t see through foliage’ thing. Yeah you CAN cheese them with it, but it prevents stupid cheap deaths.

[sacred trench]

you mean in the modpack? cos i've been getting 100-0'd from the trees this entire save

[sonic kelp]

!foliage

[hearty saffron]

@sacred trench
So you want the NPCs to not see you through foliage anymore? Well, you're in luck.
They don't see you through bushes already.
There are now THREE ways to further circumvent the issue:

• You can learn how to properly position yourself, how to flank enemies or retreat so they lose track of you. Fight enemies dynamically and outsmart the AI, don't sit in a bush or walk into one thinking they will forget you. Get better at the game. Enemies react to to sound and hear bushes rustling. Avoid that.
• Download and enable this mod: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/152dltx-smaller-bushes to, per se, level the playing field, making some locations feel incredibly empty, whilst keeping bushes about knee high.
  ||||

Type !ctrlm in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1012510897136222293 if you're unsure how you're meant to install mods on your own.

• Enable the G.A.M.M.A. NPCs cannot see through foliage - Tosox Version mod under G.A.M.M.A. Fixes. But beware. It has technical issues; you can abuse the AI by sitting inside a now solid walls bush, and the weapon tilt cover will trigger on bushes. It is not advisable to enable the mod.

my mini map is gone is there a keybind for it?

[hearty saffron]

@tiny moon
Can't see the HUD anymore (ammo counter, PSY bar, mini-map and interaction dot marks are missing)?

• Press Numpad Enter if you can't see it at all.
• If you have a TKL keyboard without Numpad - go to Settings > Video > UI/HUD, turn on HUD: show
• Or press H if you can see something but not everything.

Only the mini-map is missing?

• Press /

Missing health system (BHS) interface?

• Press H

Can't see weapons or devices when you equip them?

• Go to Settings > Visual > UI/HUD, turn on Show Weapon

Hey guys do perk artifacts are effective when in inventory ?

pressing the key and still nothing, also my psy bar is missing

don't forget to read

[woeful spoke]

Wtf Chimera Hide is fucking op :

At 65% efficiency I got :

4% health restoration
58% stamina recovery
+13kg weight carried

[fierce fable]

is this scope bugged?i t feels like it barely gives 1-3x no way its 1-6x

[tiny moon]

already did and nothing

[rain violet]

are artifacts like stats boosters or what

[fierce fable]

yes

[rain violet]

hmmmm

[quasi sierra]

Try to restart game

[fierce fable]

they have negatives and postivies you use multiple artifacts to get an equal and better result

[nova folio]

its okay
once you play enough GAMMA the only valuable stat out of those 3 is health regen

[rain violet]

damn thanks

[woeful spoke]

What's the most OP artifact combo there is out there ?

[rain violet]

i think double pressing m will do it where you pull out your pda

[woeful spoke]

I'm ready to hunt some artifacts I been farming GAMMA for a while now

[woeful spoke]

So this is the very most op combo that exist ?

[nova folio]

90% ballistic resist

[woeful spoke]

What does it do basically ? You're unkillable ?

[bright lava]

is there a kit or something on the lower one or why does it look so different?

[paper pecan]

the lower one can take scopes

[sonic kelp]

alternatively compass, full empty, empty, body cooler, chimera pelt i think

[fiery jewel]

how to make bhs to stop posting this on console

[sonic kelp]

gets you pretty solid all-round protection and 90/90 ballistic

[devout rose]

whats the command to see the controls

[tiny moon]

whats the difference between empty and full empty

[gentle dagger]

The lower one's a model from CoD iirc

[soft bloom]

The bottom on let's you use an optic that's not ass

[sonic kelp]

full empty is "upgraded" version, better upsides, (slightly) worse downsides

but you can wear both at the same time

[bright lava]

confusing because they both have the same name and same description

[tiny moon]

didnt work

[tiny moon]

also didnt work

[tiny moon]

ah ok thx

[sonic kelp]

i need to get rid of the double tap thing

i keep reacting by accident

[tiny moon]

now it worked

i had to press enter and then go to the settings and turn on the mini map again

[green grail]

how does one turn on the laser on a gun

[sonic kelp]

hold L

[green grail]

oh it doesnt work with nvgs 😭

[sonic kelp]

it should

[devout rose]

is there any reason as to why my pda wont open?

[restive blaze]

like dead npcs or alive npcs?

[elfin pine]

alive ones

[green grail]

no the laser is barely visible at all

[elfin pine]

dead get despawned whenever you leave the map, this is a base game thing

[restive blaze]

hm, doesnt that kind go against the whole alife thing

[green grail]

without NVGS i can barely see the laser, and with NVGS its practically invisble

[elfin pine]

alife is stuff outside the currently active map, but also yes

performance > immersion

not that alife was much to begin with

its quite barebones

[restive blaze]

wdym i thought it was like a big thing

[elfin pine]

welcome to the sales pitch then

[restive blaze]

so its just bethesda bubble spawners?

if the amount of npcs is an issue wouldnt it be easier to just have a cap of the population in the zone and only introduce new npcs when its below cap

[elfin pine]

alife in both trilogy and S2 is advertised as this huge npc megamind thing where npcs can do tasks and finish the main story before you can!!
but it just ended up being an underdeveloped, overpromised mess

SoC's alife was basically just scripted events

Clear Sky was the one game that had the biggest a-life influence due to its warfare system and general pressure placed on the npc life

CoP ripped out its heart once again and returned back to scripted events and lack of npc's outside of bases

since anomaly and mods that were used to make it are built on CoP - they also retain similar alife systems

GAMMA is no different, since its a modpack ontop of anomaly

[elfin pine]

that's what ZCP already does

and well basically what anomaly did too

the population slider is that amount of stalkers +/-50

so 0.55 of gamma is 550 stalkers as the "goal" with variables like 500 or 600 being possible

[rain crypt]

s

[lavish zinc]

do any of yall use AFMF without stutterfests? I'm trying to get it working but sadly no results

[restive blaze]

i thought that cop improved on some aspects then what was the whole deal about them going out for artefacts and fucking each other over

[elfin pine]

do note that having a ton of npc's all over the map is just one part of performance hits, if you have to render 400 different entities in one map it creates lag

this is why areas like Jupiter are lag fests, the map design is horrible to start but then it also has to load a ton of bullshit at once

[ionic skiff]

I need Shevi on the case for A Life lore

[lavish zinc]

i use lossless scaling as of now, but some people in here use it and said it's better

[rain crypt]

hi

[lavish zinc]

sadly, i get crazy stuttering despiste good fps, which oddly doesn't happen with LS

[elfin pine]

CoP was basically just a mash-up of whatever, GSC was on its way out atp with a lot of devs losing interest in the product and wanting to do something different

[restive blaze]

i wish you wouldve lied to me instead tbh

[elfin pine]

the gsc strat

[restive blaze]

i know that theyre scammers and screwed over their own devs but i thought that they at least acomplished something before being rugpulled

[dense copper]

Buh??

[elfin pine]

well... mods like alife plus do try to bring back the spirit of that feature, its not perfect but it works

[restive blaze]

also prob explains why i like clear sky the most

[dense copper]

I've literally never, absolutely ever, seen this gun before

[jagged zenith]

how do i change menu music?

[elfin pine]

Clear Sky was kinda what received the most love in regards to the alife system, but many other aspects of the game ended up having flaws

funny how its the most hated entry despite having the most life in it

[elfin pine]

change the soundfile while retaining the same file name

[restive blaze]

its cause its the most advanced it came out when a bunch of lighting and graphics tech game out so it ran like shit

[jagged zenith]

i will try it thx

[tough timber]

Guys do you know how to have the health system appear only when you open the inventory? i want to play without any hud and i remember seeing something like this

[elfin pine]

dunno if running it was the problem
most complained about stuff like getting stuck in warfare, crashes, not improving much over soc, introducing more questionable gameplay features and ease of breaking quests/scripted game events

like inability to end the game is i think the most famous bug

[hearty saffron]

@tough timber, remove your Newcomer role to:

• gain access to the restricted part of the server;
• ask for help/support with custom modlists (enabled/disabled mods in MO2);
• download additional mods for GAMMA;
• talk in the #╓☢stalker-chat (you'll need to be Rookie in order to post in this channel first)

▶️ Go to #⏩start-confirm to remove the role, but ONLY after you have successfully installed AND launched at least once the mod pack.

a lot of it was honestly a skill issue or over exaggeration

i tried it myself, i liked the experience
i experienced bugs but thought nothing of them, i had some fair complaints and anyone reading my review mostly agreed with what i said
If interested: #╟🔰☢newbies-chat message

i would like to go back and experience all the sidequest stuff and warfare system, i basically ignored all the optional special upgrades that you get by talking to particular technicians and having fun with taking over territories for factions

bird shooting also wasn't done

this game cant be good for your health man i spend 10 hours yesterday, full on addicted

[dense copper]

Fuck. Alright, Brain Scorcher wasn't as hard as I thought, I expected exos? There were maybe a single one or two?

[real forge]

U should play Global War 0.5.2, is the ultimate warfare stalkermod, is like a Global War

[elfin pine]

brain scorcher was nerfed like 5 different times

[dense copper]

I pretty much ignored the timer and went nearly at my own pace

took a quick load or two, but still

[dense copper]

It can honestly be harder in my opinion

[elfin pine]

0.9.5 does open up a window to make it harder by reverting changes or whatever

will save files transfer from 9.4 to 9.5?

[rigid solar]

I'm trying to complete Operation Afterglow but Rogue keeps glitching. His rescue mission doesn't activate so he just sits in place and never returns to the laundromat. Because of that, I can't ever talk to Strelok about finishing the mission and progress to the next stage. What do I do?

[ripe dust]

top one had the loots

[elfin pine]

Three attempts to fix your issue:

1. Disable 459- Afterglow Ending Crash Fix - yaaargle in Mod Organizer 2 and load a savefile from before you went to save Rogue
2. Use debug to attempt to fix the quest, guide here: #╟🔰☢newbies-chat message
3. Load an older save, pick the second dialogue option when saving Rogue (don't give him the pills) then kill him.

[fallow birch]

free loootttt

[elfin pine]

0.9.5 is listed as "non-compatible" with older saves, you can try using stuff like https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/new-game-enhanced-character-transfer-mod once it releases tho

or just..... don't update until you're done with your playthrough

The only real A-Life improvement of CoPe A-Life is two guys searching artifacts if u don't give at time the ordered artifacts to the skadovskguy

Outside warfare mode, is there anyway to "capture" rostok? I'm so bored of this stupid duty living there. I want to make this place an new base for Merc

[elfin pine]

only when using redone collection to have a "natural" takeover

else you can always spend some time modding and replace duty with mercs or any other faction in rostok

[twin pier]

Does redone work with current save? I want to go as far possible on my current save before 0.9.5 release, gonna check for mods who can change faction in rostok for the moment

it can be added on an ongoing save but might cause issues

How do you zoom through a scope?

I updated my game a few days ago (from v6 to the latest version) and this reset my settings. Now my scroll wheel won't zoom in on a AK74U thermal scope which has a 4x zoom in the inf

[elfin pine]

its highly recommended to start a new savefile on major patch release to avoid bugs and issues

[signal yew]

am i fully geared for brain scorcher yet? do i need more ammo? ditch the shotgun?

[elfin pine]

WP thermal is a fixed zoom scope

[livid berry]

in that case ill just wait then. thanks

[sick grove]

bring just a bit more 9x21, everything else is fine

also spare mags

[signal yew]

even more mags? okay! lemme go buy some
more ammo, gotcha

[torn island]

the 1pn93-1 is fixed zoom?

[cloud crest]

what are peoples favourite shaders from the default bin i cba to go through them all

[elfin pine]

yeh

[nova folio]

switch bandages for torniquets
make yourself some actual purified food and good drinks "brewed coffee" is nice

you'd also want at least 1 epipen to carry the loot out (yellow syringe with +20kg weight increase)
armor is fine weapons are fine

[elfin pine]

some guns let the 1pn93-4 (nightvision) to have variable zoom but not all

thermal is always fixed zoom unless its the EOTS-62 sight

[honest dirge]

okay i need some confirmation here. if i copy over gamma and all its files into an external hard drive, factory reset my pc, then copy the gamma and anomaly files back onto my pc, would gamma still work?

anything i can do to fix fast travel not working from time to time ? it feels like it happens mostly with the fast travel areas inside the white circles(im trying to travel to "The Barrier" , that is inside "Barrier" white circle)

untick "Areas" above your pda map, then retry

oh huge, tyy

[elfin pine]

!move / yeh

[hearty saffron]

@honest dirge To move your GAMMA/Anomaly install:

1. Move your GAMMA and Anomaly folders to their new location
2. In your GAMMA folder, find and delete the file ModOrganizer.ini (this is a config file, do not delete the .exe file!)
3. Run ModOrganizer.exe (from the GAMMA folder), and direct it to the new location of your Anomaly folder
   Remember that you cannot put Anomaly or GAMMA in these locations:

• your Users folder or subfolders, Desktop, Downloads, Documents, OneDrive, Program Files/Program Files (x86), etc.
• Folders with Cyrillic (а-я), or other non-Latin alphabet (語) or special symbols (,;?!) in the name

It’s an issue? Yeah it just seems a little cheesy

yeh its not intentional to get 4-5 green parts on guns that fall out of npc hands

[amber pasture]

Is this smth i disable in mcm? I’ll just ignore the guns tbh

I have for the most part but I did use one a while back bc I thought it was just a rare drop, but I started noticing this more when guns drop on their own

they're both old rifles, the scopes should be immediately available

oh lol i keep forgetting clear sky and loners have different sights

Right click -> details to see which scopes are compatible, check pins of this channel on where to get them.

[fallow quest]

Can use Audacity to convert I guess

[signal yew]

okay i think im FINALLY ready for radar oh my god ive overprepared so much havent i

[harsh fiber]

Ive seen worse, your loadout is normal compared to some

[sick grove]

you're gonna have to murder alot of monolith

[signal yew]

the last few times ive done it (few years back) have been with like... an ak and 500 rounds so even just bringing more than a few red medkits is gonna make me not savescum so im happy

[harsh fiber]

some carry +700 x39 AP rounds

[signal yew]

oh lord how much grinding is that

[fallow quest]

A lot

[harsh fiber]

no clue, overpreparing final boss

[dense copper]

green ACE too, which kinda nice

[sick grove]

do note this time around the monolith already are pre-spawned in BS and you have 12 minutes to turn it off

[signal yew]

i will say almost rank 100 before radar is crazy
and yes miri jesus it took me literally hours to afford/craft all this AP ammo so i cant imagine

[signal yew]

RIGHT someone did warn me but that is insane to me. i always took my time with it before LMAOO

[sick grove]

you gotta john wick it

[elfin pine]

The audacity to correct me… smh

[fallow quest]

...

[honest dirge]

this is what i took lmao

[fallow quest]

Bad joke and you should feel bad|| ||

[elfin pine]

I had to do it

[harsh fiber]

say, what would be a good enough reason to kick someone from a modding thread?

[elfin pine]

Uhhhhh

Who’s being annoying?

[honest dirge]

if its your thread, you make the rules. who cares. kick em

[fierce fable]

what happens to the other trader thats usually here
this is the 2nd run where he just randomly disappear for me

[elfin pine]

Or do you just want to talk somewhere with a full thread

[harsh fiber]

cant sadly and currently its fine
just asking

[honest dirge]

ah

[harsh fiber]

just curious

[elfin pine]

I mean kicking someone out of the thread still lets them rejoin

So dunno where that gets you

[harsh fiber]

aw

is it possible to ban someone from a thread then?

[elfin pine]

Support tickets suffer from the same issues, but at least there the user is often like „Why do you kick me out bitch, who the fuck are you to dictate where i can and where i can’t be” which results in their termination

[harsh fiber]

lol

[signal yew]

i like your ui! see this looks normal :D

[elfin pine]

nuh, at least not to my knowledge

[harsh fiber]

oh alright then
thanks for answering

[fallow quest]

People crying for help, being obnoxious or assholes about it and then banned is one of my favorite things to witness

[honest dirge]

thats an old screenshot it looks a lot diferent now

[elfin pine]

Reminds me of that one dude who tried to push his way into a ticket just because the title was „game crash on start”

Began answering user errors with „my game used to do that too, i had to do xyz specific, unrelated steps to the issue the op was facing”

When told to step off he started to be angwy

[fallow quest]

Oh right the "want to help" but being the most unhelpful idiots .. also "nice" to come across

[honest dirge]

[fallow quest]

Haven´t heard of that one

[signal yew]

i love the gear :D what do you use to kill mutants

[fallow quest]

Maybe missed it

[honest dirge]

lemme see if i can find a screenshot of my current loadout

[fallow quest]

While I was away for 1-2 weeks

[elfin pine]

Aggressive helpering and fighting with Flop

[signal yew]

nooo i go to bed lemme see tmrw

[fallow quest]

Poor Flop , lives base support and has to argue with those guys

[elfin pine]

[honest dirge]

too late found it

[desert pivot]

Does anyone know how to lower mutant's health or of a mod that does so? Please don't hit me with the "shooting them usually works" I just want to enjoy the game my way 😭

[signal yew]

OOOOOOOOOOO

[dusky raptor]

the low health blood effect looks really bad

[elfin pine]

can’t lower health but you can increase damage output specifically for mutants

Settings > gameplay > gameplay difficulty > hit power factor

[harsh fiber]

I tried to help a dude with the installation of gamba through #🖥️how-to-install
he was a regard and a half since he kept fucking up the install somehow. Apparently before that a fellow newb tried to help him and failed. The regard then started telling how he wants to do bad things to the other newb(wont say what for obvious reasons) then he proceeded to tell me the same thing. I am still sad that all Dry did was mute him for a bit

[desert pivot]

Thank you, I'll play around with it

[elfin pine]

I do love the ungrateful ones

[dusky raptor]

what is the difference between saying the r word and saying the r word with a single letter substituted ? is it just so that people can't report your messages as easily?

idc btw just wondering what the point is

[harsh fiber]

ungrateful to the point where I as getting death threats hm hm

[fallow quest]

... imagine giving out death threats because you are too stupid to read

[elfin pine]

Theoretically you shouldn’t be saying it either way
But ig there’s no deeper meaning, some just don’t want to write it as is

Sometimes its funnier to not write it as is

[harsh fiber]

[fallow quest]

Honestly.. that kinda stupidity checks out now that I think about it

[harsh fiber]

can I get mute perms?

[fallow quest]

[sick grove]

he looks like he's running default anomaly

[elfin pine]

Like that one dude who wanted to help someone install a mod and couldn’t spare five seconds to say „Yes, press the blue download button”

Instead spent 10 seconds writing „are you a retard? Kill yourself n—„

[honest dirge]

ah

[analog fern]

idfk it was in a pipe like by itself like no stash even

[fierce fable]

bro thats insane

[analog fern]

yep

[fallow quest]

Welp, that´s support

[elfin pine]

he went on to cry on a different server on how the internet back in the day was a better place

[eager acorn]

[sick grove]

must've been lowtiergod who asked for help lol

[honest dirge]

reminds me of a dude who bricked his own gamma bc he reufsed to be patient and closed the installer b4 it finished and when i told him he had to click the install button again he told me to kms

[fierce fable]

for the a free project and free help and support you get from people much better you would get from paid services being that rude is insane to me

[dusky raptor]

Fuck You Elmo

I really want to use this SA-58 OSW, but, no expert tools 😔

damn i wiped duty from rostok for the third time and now freedom roam inside lmao

I think a more frustrating part is those who refuse to listen even tho you know of the issue and dealt with it a ton

[dusky raptor]

you know the worst mod server i've ever been on

[fallow quest]

I mean I signed up for that, the thing thats frustrating is people actively ignoring your advice, not following it correctly and then getting mad

wow, did not see that coming

[sick grove]

probably all you finding is radioactive catfish

It’s for the love of the game. I was just thinking about sitting by a river bank and having an emission hit as I’m fishing

Plus I’m pretty sure there’s a stalker 2 mod that lets you fish 🤔

[red wyvern]

you just dont believe in the heart of cards

[green grail]

well im just doing some testing rn and it seems that you practically need 20 or 21 to win

otherwise it will almost always get a number higher than you, or u hit once too much and land on over 21

[elfin pine]

yeah i think in 8 tries, my opponent has gone above 21 once, otherwise it has been 19-21 the rest of the time

[lofty egret]

why does my character sometimes glide up stairs no problem but other times traverses them like his shinbones are made of rubber?

[elfin pine]

Not all stairs are „fixed” because either lack of time or inability to smoothen them

[elfin pine]

yeh global war 0.5.2 i think…

[harsh fiber]

global war I think

[olive cosmos]

I wanna do some warfare and bummed I can't on gamma 🙁

Maybe one day it'll be warfare compatible with some add-ons enabled or disabled etc

[bleak wedge]

what does that mod do? just asking

never been on the stalker modding base (console)

[olive cosmos]

It's just a modpack tailored for warfare mode I think

[proud hearth]

anyone know of any good stealth overhaul mods?

[harsh fiber]

try re:vision

it works with gamma?

if you follow the instructions, yes

ill check it out thank uuu

its on moddb

I wouldn’t bet on it

Finally was able to get off the sks platform to something a tiny bit more modular and fully repaired, Sad to see I cant use my LPVO I got at the start on it but I found an aimpoint tower earlier so itll suffice

Global War 0.5.2

[real forge]

#╟🔰☢newbies-chat message

I'd stick with the sks, if it was a Molot

[real forge]

Global War 0.5.2 is compatible with addons made by the community but i won't give links to the right places

[fossil stream]

does scavenging also affect condition of gear enemies drop?

[ripe dust]

Sadly not a molot

[plush dove]

good looking gun, apparently not well liked in combat

[real forge]

Is the ultimate warfare stalkermod, is the best and the most ambitious one, u even have a faction editor with thousands of options to take for create ur own faction

[plush dove]

I just realised how the M14 is just a modernised M1 Garand

[harsh fiber]

pretty much

[plush dove]

Yeah nowadays you either go for a long barrel AR for DMR
or a proper sniper rifle.

No reason to use that platform

[twin pier]

Use global warfare people say it the best mod for warfare so far

Global Warfare=Global Offensive + Modern Warfare

Why UMP45 in gamma so baaaaaad

[plush dove]

what's wrong with it?
tbf it's supposed to be a budget MP5 that fires .45

[mint leaf]

The gun looks cool and sounds good but so weak :(

like its type C gun, should be decent at least

[plush dove]

Mate it's the ammo not the gun that matter
.45 is all stopping power, zero penetration

[mint leaf]

yeah I know its not the best gun but didnt expect this bad

ump45 isnt that great againt mutant either :(

[plush dove]

the 45 Hydrashok hits harder than a Remington 700 against muties, PER BULLET

obv not at range

[gritty estuary]

is there a mod that permanantly blinds my character when looking at the sun for too long? I want it for immersion

[woeful pecan]

Someone should make that

[plush dove]

Just up the brightness and blind yourself irl

[woeful pecan]

Pissing mod coming 2027

[gritty estuary]

you're a genius

[remote fossil]

the UMP is just in an odd place as a Type C. it's a 600rpm weapon with 25 mag size. both types of Thompsons are Type A with bigger mags and rpm. even the MP9 (9x19HP is 40dmg) and shoots at 1100rpm is a Type A.

[plush dove]

The tommys are actually starter guns that could be your muties killer the entire playthrough

Not a fan of the look tho

[woeful pecan]

Consider just using the PP-19

Britain when it decides to have the worst service rifle of all time

[rustic anchor]

Does hip's bitch ass not gain experience or some shit I got two completely random people, both of whom have managed to rank up one of which twice, and she's remained the same exact way the entire time I've had her (just as long as the other two)

[lavish zinc]

I still ain't in place to be choosing

[plush dove]

You have the choice of not using it

[lavish zinc]

Probably jams 30% less than regular rookie junk

[hybrid canopy]

With that secondary you dont need a primary for a while tbh

[lavish zinc]

yeah, it's carrying

[woeful pecan]

Ik ik I mean IRL

[lavish zinc]

vityaz is my go-to every game

[remote fossil]

she does gain experience. accuracy gets better as rank goes up for companions. maybe give Hip something like a shotgun early on

[hybrid canopy]

You can definitely afford to be picky at that point, plinking bandits/renegade is easy mode

Id have saved the mats personally

[rustic anchor]

That's all she's had 😭

[lavish zinc]

unironically L85A1 might jam as much irl

not even 30% less

i'll test it for myself here and see what I think

[woeful pecan]

Lmao

[mint leaf]

A2 is fine-ish
A1 might give you cancer

[plush dove]

[plush dove]

the only time I used it was in the OG trilogy

[fleet sandal]

even then it's kinda ass

the susat scope is so ugly

[plush dove]

it was the 1st scoped gun you get
Still I mostly stick with the AK74

[surreal zodiac]

How do I exo?

like I think I have all the parts but no idea how to put them all together

[plush dove]

Gunslinger somehow made it palatable
Last and only memory of me using it

[plush dove]

You need the repair kit, which is extremely rare drop
Basically exo enemies very high ranks

[sterile rapids]

How do y’all organise your stashes, all in one or separate containers? If separate, what’s your system? I have been keeping everything in one so far but the lag when opening it is becoming unignorable 😬

[surreal zodiac]

I have a "Monolith Exosuit" but it's labeled as HEAVY. Should I be looking for armor labeled as EXO?

[plush dove]

You'll need ALOT

Go for the blue chest not the green one fyi. More space

Also the workbench has its own blue chest

I will most likely try to port it after my current gun

[plush dove]

Add the Tikhar, make it run on bolt and artifacts

[harsh fiber]

no anims for it

[remote fossil]

i tend to keep most armor/weapon parts inside the workbench, 1 box for armor/guns/artifacts/upgrade kits, 1 box for ammo, and 1 box for meds. Also, i keep mutant meat, parts, and food in my Fridge

[plush dove]

Can anything be port from the actual Metro files?

[harsh fiber]

with sdk yeah

but my pc cant handle the exodus sdk

[remote fossil]

also, i like to mount my boxes on the wall above my workbench so everything is within reach from 1 spot

[plush dove]

I sort them by the tabs in the inventory (1,2,3,4), less headache

[remote fossil]

yeah that's a nice idea to make things fast

[manic fulcrum]

hey bit of a strange question but where can i learn to mod gamma?

[sterile rapids]

@remote fossil @plush dove TY both!

[plush dove]

A matter of capacity too. i thought I could put everything for crafting in one stash.
Not viable long term
My ammo/ammo-parts alone ended up 2-300 kg

[harsh fiber]

Use fmj

Ap is overkill in 90% of the cases

[remote fossil]

if you really need more, you can always buy ammo that share the same parts, disassemble, and reassemble into ammo that you want. I agree with Ark. most of the time AP is too much for the application at hand

[lethal brook]

What can I do to prevent my game from have stutters so much? I saw that I could tweak the Lua settings, but is there a specific number I need to use?

This is why I love 7.62x39.
