[dire moss]

the disguise game was fun too

[plush dove]

you disguise to make friends, I disguise to kill
We're not the same

[remote oxide]

How to use our current save with the upcoming 0.9.5 patch?

[soft bloom]

you dont

[dire moss]

truly, i disguised so i could walk around in unisg nosrog (when i find it) and not get shot at by everyone lol

[plush dove]

there's a ng+ mod I think
Transfer your gear, but I don't recommend it

[eternal nacelle]

Ok thats the army

That was what shot my ass off last time

[remote oxide]

Dang lol thanks for the info @plush dove

[eternal nacelle]

I WAS alive

[dry patrol]

Any recommendations to reduce just overall random crashes?

[eternal nacelle]

Go out on a limb and say DX9?

[pearl forum]

Hope and dreams

Or just do the game in vanilla

[dry patrol]

I am on dx11. I will try that out

[soft bloom]

one of the few times i used a disguise was to kill everyone in rostoc starting at the bar

[gilded sable]

got basic tools from my first gold stash in zaton 🙏

[opaque spear]

Insanely bad luck. Rough. Sorry.

[dire moss]

i might eventually go murder everyone in rostok but for now i wanted easy money making access

[eternal nacelle]

DX9, at least for me, has been running alot better then DX11

[gilded sable]

its okay
got expert tools from my secold gold stash in zaton

[pearl forum]

I got a duty dude putting a bounty against a fellow duty soldier, well that's fookin awkward, the target just fookin camping in 100 rad bar chat fucc am I supposed to do now?

[opaque spear]

Ayeeeeee.

[soft bloom]

i was a bandit and i was at the end of my game

[opaque spear]

Shoot and run very fast.

Also, zig zag.

[gilded sable]

and I have a gold stash awaiting for me in the southern part of CNPP :)

[pearl forum]

I would love to but those stairs slowing me down 😭

Who tf designed this?!

[remote fossil]

!dx if you want to run on a different DX, i think there are some instructions

[hearty saffron]

@remote fossil
If you want to play with DX8 or DX9, follow this guide: #╭📖faq message

[plush dove]

either disguise and kill, or just farm relation enough so they don't kill you when you dome him

[opaque spear]

Take the L, tell em you cant do the job.

[copper ledge]

TIme to dissasemble all this
just dissasembled like 1100 9x19, 9x18 and 9x21 rounds

[plush dove]

just sell em atp

[pearl forum]

Actually now that I think about it, I have conceived an idea most ingenious.

Just wait until that mf leave the bar, do some other job while waiting, and then pop

Not sure if it'll work but I can only hope he'll move somewhere more open

[pearl forum]

Oh yeah I'm at maximum goodwill on them

[remote fossil]

the answer is usually explosives. even ones that set a timer

[plush dove]

just shoot him bud, they'll understand

[opaque spear]

You'd make an excellent assassin, Rama.

[plush dove]

I waited one guy for like irl weeks at Yanov station

[copper ledge]

nah I need it for crafting
gonna craft a shitload of 7.62x32, 7.62x54 and .45 Hydra shok

[pearl forum]

Which is funny to think about because the PDA chat shows the soldiers talking about the target that's acting paranoid and weird

[opaque spear]

I like how we've all converged on this most perplexing conundrum.

[plush dove]

yeah ur not crafting any 7.62x54 with those

[pearl forum]

Welcome to the zone where we collectively glaze and spit how deranged some quests are

[plush dove]

GAMMA quests are oversaturated slop

[opaque spear]

I refuse to take freedom killing quests from duty cause I've maxed my goodwill with all loner neutral factions.

My rep must remain max. It must.

[copper ledge]

I have the stuff for it actually in my stash

[pearl forum]

Also speaking of glaze I got myself glazed after doing hundreds of quests (it was compressed, I'm not sure if you guys can see it but my character is Sergei)

[copper ledge]

[pearl forum]

Bro's stocking up against a horde of Pseudogiants and Chimeras

[plush dove]

4 mag guns, big mistake

[pearl forum]

Shi that could've armed a small squad or two there

[opaque spear]

That would be humbling, honestly. Never seen that despite having done quite a few quests myself.

[copper ledge]

I am literally holding the max amount of mags I can

[plush dove]

Also why waste space on pistol mags if you plan to use 4 mag guns

[opaque spear]

Pretty good gear, mate. Good shit.

[copper ledge]

Because, pistol mags dont reduce how many other mags I can hold

[pearl forum]

Holy schmoly

Mf is at war against the entire military probably

[copper ledge]

This screams "I cant aim"

[plush dove]

'scuse me

[remote fossil]

I like how you have favorited the cigarettes and nothing else

[copper ledge]

I can take out an entire military encampment with less then 1 mag unless theres a bunch of exos

[pearl forum]

Or going from south to Chernobyl on foot without guide

[plush dove]

I'm not digging through my consumables for a smoke

[pallid sluice]

What is the current number of gamma mods? +/-

[copper ledge]

I have more mags, I just dont need em.
Plus most of my mags are fast loading

[pearl forum]

524-ish as far as I remember

[remote fossil]

the channel will always say it https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/977190498420801536

[plush dove]

Point is, i don't load mags in the field
Which is the entire point of mags

[pallid sluice]

yeah it also says it not automated that's why i asked lol but thank you

[copper ledge]

No ammount of convincing will make me think you didnt debug this

[pearl forum]

It took me hours to get to my first 200k mf is probably Lord of War atp

[plush dove]

what about this?

[copper ledge]

Nah

[soft bloom]

not very hard in end game honestly

[plush dove]

if ur broke just say so

[pearl forum]

Wait how much is that in USD?

[copper ledge]

You damn skippy

[plush dove]

1 big mac meal

[pearl forum]

Damn, they better be curing cancer with that

[copper ledge]

Now you happy?

[plush dove]

also not all small mags are pistol mags

[copper ledge]

My only small mags are for my pistol

[pearl forum]

I think Toz mags isn't small mag as far as I remember

[plush dove]

this is why I use R700, the 5 round mags are small

[copper ledge]

Really?

[remote fossil]

did you have to remove all your belt slots to fit all that? lol

[copper ledge]

Nah

[plush dove]

Yeah and I use shotties and revolver if I plan to carry multiple mag guns
For me 6-7 mags minimum for main rifle, can't be caught loading mag in a firefight

[dawn raptor]

I just wanna quickly ask before I bother attempting to install on this what are the like minimum base specs to run this

[winged crown]

is it just me or does it actually suck balls to fight sin?

[remote fossil]

Sin have a passive 70% damage reduction

[winged crown]

istg i got to unload an entire mag to kill one guy

[pearl forum]

It's dark asf fighting against them in Red Forest

[pearl forum]

Also chat, this

I'm also curious here

[winged crown]

im fighting them in zaton and it SUCKS

[plush dove]

yeah use HP on them

They can't be AP headshot 1 tap by anything

[copper ledge]

Ignore how shit my belt is, I kinda forgot to go chimera hunting

[winged crown]

[pearl forum]

They're sub humans dw bout it

[remote fossil]

the AP requirements arent different for Sin. they just have a 70% damage reduction.

[winged crown]

istg they dont even bleed like holy shit they got gojos infinity around them or something

[nova rivet]

i have an idea

having save mode in the game i feel is negative impact on the long run

in order to prevent player from accumulating funds indefinitely and lose interest in game which happens a lot there should be as follows

• your character live in the game as 1 save for last place u in
• when u die u respawn in last checkpoint (fire or base)
• u lose loadout when u die, u only keep your money and stashes
• u can build up your self and play safer and better next time

its kinda like stalker extraction but no mmo yet

[pearl forum]

When in doubt, grenade their ass

[plush dove]

the gun economy would make this hell

[pearl forum]

Close enough, Welcome back Project Zomboid

[winged crown]

i dont carry nades lmao

[remote fossil]

this is kind of like the "Souls Like" setting in the game you can select at the start

[nova rivet]

that why u need to keep stashing weapons

[pearl forum]

You should in end game now, turn around and carry some

[copper ledge]

I should convert as much of my 7.62, both x39 and x54 as I can after I repair this SVDS

[plush dove]

what about early game? are starter weapon given for free?

[nova rivet]

thre such option already ! nice

[nova rivet]

those your start weapons u have to use proeprly otherwize if u lose them u go zero to hero or start over

like road to vistok that just got released

[plush dove]

sorry but that fastloading akm mag is so cursed

[nova rivet]

very interesting idea they have

[pearl forum]

Has anyone attempted the arena fight?

[winged crown]

also the weapon here is it like an artifact or something i went to the exact location and found nothing in its place?

[copper ledge]

I love having a lucer and full empty, causes shit to tweak out

[nova rivet]

is there an sdk for anomaly ? to edit materials and so on ?

[pearl forum]

Oh it's inside, underground

[remote fossil]

there are stairs to go underground. i wont spoil more

[pearl forum]

They're not on ground floor

[winged crown]

yea ik there is just green stuff there i cant see anything

[pearl forum]

Green stuff? What? Screenshot it mate

[winged crown]

give me a sec

[plush dove]

evil twin

[plush dove]

better already

[pearl forum]

Also I got this Monolith Assassination Contract one time and I couldn't be bothered to go to the forest because it's dark as shit, so I bait the target out and throw him against a roaming Pseudogiants, and it worked beautifully

[plush dove]

it's underground

[winged crown]

[pearl forum]

Much more fun than shooting them directly

can i cancel quest without going to the guy that gave them to me??

[copper ledge]

Its like the least tacticool RD gun

[plush dove]

scuse me dovetail with pic rail?
What is that abomination

[knotty pollen]

Anyone playing gamma run into the issue where when they look down there scope it just shows black?

[remote fossil]

which weapon are you using

[polar spade]

yes

[copper ledge]

Tempted to run an LPVO with it but it takes up 95% of the fucking screen

[polar spade]

im there

[plush dove]

is it base gamma?

[knotty pollen]

I honestly dont know I literally picked it up off a bad guy, looked down the scope and it was like the veiw was to the right but 99% if the scope was black

[copper ledge]

I have no idea, I have like 8 fucking gun packs

[pearl forum]

Wipe out the entire monoliths or potential enemies in the map, then take your time sweeping the entire place

[pastel scaffold]

Hey everyone! New to the server and the game. So far so good! It's downloading all the mods now so hopefully it won't take too long with my internet. 😅

[polar spade]

im monolith

[plush dove]

lol wait til u put on the ELCAN spectr

[knotty pollen]

Then i died and lost it, but honestly if the scopes aren't going to work not really worth playing till i get it fixed

[plush dove]

prolly not then

[plush dove]

turk?🪳

[copper ledge]

I can put this thermalslop on it

[polar spade]

yes

[remote fossil]

there is one specific weapon that has misalignment. we have a fix for it available. scopes should work on every available weapon

[stray portal]

Yo guys any way to cancel quests?

[copper ledge]

wtf is this monitor layout
Also have you never heard of printscreen/ctrl+shift+s

[polar spade]

why racism?

[polar spade]

i missclicked

[plush dove]

wait that's racist? My friend just does that to my other turk friend
Idek what that means

[knotty pollen]

Damn i wonder if that was it. well maybe i will try again later, 30 minutes of fire fights just to lose it all took my soul with it.

[copper ledge]

LMAO
THE fat ass 1x thermal HAS A FUCKING LEAF ON IT

[polar spade]

nvm u can say it

[stray portal]

sidequests

so, i picked up a sidorovich quest, then changeds factions to freedom, then mercs, and now i cant acces the bunker lol

tf do i do now

[copper ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/downs-down-syndrome-huh-look-back-what-gif-12361802

[plush dove]

just kill everyone at rookie village and turn the quest down

[stray portal]

how do i just turn it down

[plush dove]

why not? there should be option that say you couldn't do it

[stray portal]

when i try to open the bunker door it says door locked, thats why

[plush dove]

noclip in

[remote fossil]

did you try going through the mine tunnel and checking all the way back into the forest in the circled area

[polar spade]

just went inthere thats proıpably where it is but i dont have enough ammo ill go there later , thanks bro

[plush dove]

that map is so misleading

[remote fossil]

when you go back there, you'll find a Tank that has a anomalous zone on top. you can jump in and it'll teleport you over near forester instead of having to run all the way out

[pearl forum]

Think about it guys, have you seen or heard someone's taking shower in the zone?

No?

Let that sink in.

[formal sierra]

chat do you think I overprepared for Miracle Machine just a tiny bit

[dusky raptor]

how are you meant to get lots of bullets/bullet casings and such for crafting bullets? i don't have many and i've picked up everything i can from everyone i've killed so far and just got gunsmithing tools

[mild willow]

why cant i put my bight vision on? i press n but nothing happens

[formal sierra]

hold N

[mild willow]

ah

[formal sierra]

pressing it changes the NVG's brightness

[remote fossil]

where is your underbarrel grenade launcher?

[formal sierra]

sadly the M4A1 Protector can't take them because of the Vgrip 😔

[remote fossil]

do you happen to have a Wrenched artifact for more rupture?

[formal sierra]

I do but it's at like 34%

[mild willow]

ball res or rupture res for armor?

[remote fossil]

well...it kinda depends what you have access to. i would normally say ballistic res tho.

[formal sierra]

I was so confused for a second because I didn't realize you meant ballistic lmao

[remote fossil]

i'm not sure if the plate helps much in Miracle Machine

[gilded sable]

ballistic res is often better
better safe from random monolith encounters than loading your last save

[opaque heath]

I turned off the brain scortcher but still cant enter any of the north zones without my head exploding? idk what im missing

[stray portal]

Did you turn off the discombobulator?

[formal sierra]

I mean maybe but I'm already in Yantar and this is just kinda what I use all the time

[remote fossil]

did you do Miracle Machine in Yantar?

[formal sierra]

I'm not too concerned about dying, I have a Lot Of Meds

[opaque heath]

oh i didnt, can i enter that area now?

[remote fossil]

honestly you should be totally fine anyway. pop some Morphine to give Rupture Res and you are good to go

[remote fossil]

well to go to Miracle Machine you will need the PsyHelmet to protect you. Either you buy it from Sakarov or loot it by killing Semenov/Sakharov

[stray portal]

Wait, now you have to do something else besides turning the brain scorcher off to acces northen zones??

[opaque heath]

I see thanks, I have the helmet i though i needed it for the brain scortcher lol

[remote fossil]

Miracle Machine is all about Psy Res, Rupture Res, and HP damage ammo/explosives. change your setup a bit and youll be fine.

[mild willow]

k i got the ball res

[remote fossil]

well it depends on what kind of ammo you want to craft. if you are still using handgun ammo, you can always buy very cheap 9x18 FMJ and disassemble it to craft into different ammo. if you need large rifle stuff, the Food vendor in Yantar will give you PKM ammo if you trade him some vodka and 7k roubles.

[mild willow]

now guys aug a1, xm177e2, or ak-74

[gilded sable]

tempted to kill this guy

[mild willow]

also where do i find the stuff needed for D type weapons

[remote fossil]

what kind of AK74?

[mild willow]

M

no special kits 🥀

[pearl forum]

Imagine seeing the entire Gamma protagonist journey from Fanatic, the boy who barely survived his first boar encounter all of a sudden went toe to toe against the entire Monolith within a week

[pearl forum]

Check if he got artifacts on him

[gilded sable]

hes a bit too close to the anomaly
will try again

[pearl forum]

If yes, obliterate him

[gilded sable]

eh...
nothing too good

[remote fossil]

honestly they arent too different in stats. i would go with whatever you have a scope and suppressor for

[gilded sable]

"omg he got the helmet!!! are you stupid!!!!"
i have the spartan one chilling in my stash

[mild willow]

how have you done this>?

[remote fossil]

to make a Type D repair kit, you will need Expert Tools. finding the parts just depends on the weapon you are using

[remote fossil]

https://stalker-gamma-db.com/

[mild willow]

oh im blind again

https://tenor.com/view/spit-out-cereal-meme-wtf-wth-what-the-hell-gif-20467304

i was using the google doc for all armors but theres a db now?

[fading crow]

buy hollow point ammo from butcher and scrap them for the casings and FMJ, usually most cost effective way

[analog fern]

i just unlocked the other half of the map, are they are armors or weapons i should look out for???

[remote fossil]

use the "table view" if you want to sort by different stats. you can use the little pin to the left of item names to add them to a list. a menu will pop up at the bottom that will let you compare items

[next yarrow]

Was there a command when your chosen DX crashes but empty log?

[gilded sable]

Killed an exo ecologist

[remote fossil]

!dx we have some instructions for how to use different DX. i'm not sure about the crashes

can companions increase their rank?

[remote fossil]

yes they can. they also get more accurate as their rank increases

[copper ledge]

Wait the retribution can be swapped for 5.56?

Who would do that? Genuinely.

[copper ledge]

Nice planted full green guns

[gilded sable]

i SWEAR he dropped 4 guns

[supple cliff]

what is the name of the anomaly that is hard to see but basically blows you up like a landmine when you get too close? Might be arrival only since I haven't really ever played without it but not sure

[honest dirge]

rip my gamma install

pc restarted while moving files and now evereythings bricked

[rare birch]

Pripyat runs like a kid in a wheelchair

[mild willow]

what kit is best for m700?

[copper ledge]

deadass

[tough lion]

Due to wacky gamma balance, the 5.56 has a higher multi so you get more damage somehow. Also it’s a cheaper round

[honest dirge]

replace it and use an SVDS

[tough lion]

The upgrade is apparently getting removed so whatever

[copper ledge]

How the FUCK does 5.56 do more damage at range then 7.62x54
I thought GAMMA was supposed to be balanced

[analog fern]

do you guys have any t3 artefact reccomendations/???

[tough lion]

Like I said it’s getting removed so

It’s been a good upgrade tho, good times

[fast pumice]

More velocity, but less armour piercing capability.

[copper ledge]

Fuck, I already disassembled all my 5.56 lmao

[fast pumice]

5.56 is a more modern round.

7.62×54R is ancient in comparison lmao.

[tough lion]

At this point in the game you should be able to buy all the AR ammo in the world to dismantle

[elfin kiln]

5.56 has freedom buff

[analog fern]

what do i do now that i have complete brain scorcher? what gear do i. look out for????

[tough lion]

Expert Tools, Heavy and Exo armor , and D tier Guns

[fast pumice]

Prepare yourself to kill about 30-40 heavily armoured individuals.

[copper ledge]

Yo chat what map am I in based of this pixel

[analog fern]

any D tier guns in particular?

[fast pumice]

And possibly some large mutants on the way up.

[ionic skiff]

due to Ammo Damage multipliers
5.56 has a greater Damage Multiplier than 7.62x54r

[honest dirge]

did that shit with a ks23 and a medium duty vest lmao (it was absolute hell)

[fast pumice]

Expect to find like 5 exos among that number with the chance of Nosorogs.

[tough lion]

KSG23, anything in 7.62x51, Lapua

[fast pumice]

Most assualt rifles should be fine.

Go in, full auto aiming for the stomach area.

Unless exo then try to prioritize head.

[analog fern]

so an rpk-16 would work?

[fast pumice]

Should, just don't really try to use it at a significant range.

[analog fern]

do i swap my shotgun outta slot for a sniper now?

[fast pumice]

Bring as much AP as you can.

Nah, the actually BS facility itself is close quarters.

[analog fern]

BS?

[fast pumice]

Brain Scorcher.

Or Rainbow Emitter.

[analog fern]

i did brain scorcher already

[fast pumice]

Within the X-8 lab.

[analog fern]

im asking abt after BS

[fast pumice]

Oh, now the hunt for expert tools begins.

Do you have exokit recipe yet?

[analog fern]

anything missing or need to be removed from this list?

[analog fern]

nope i dont think so

[fast pumice]

The chances of you actually finding an MDR are extremely low.

[turbid sandal]

Hello does anyone know where i can find the document containing all the things that are and aren't obtainable in gamma?

[analog fern]

just keeping it there to renember

[fast pumice]

I wouldn't entirely focus on finding any D-Kit guns, most C-kit counterparts are good enough.

D-Kits are more of a side-upgrade.

[remote fossil]

what is this list supposed to be?

[analog fern]

im looking for a RPK drum as a upgrade

[analog fern]

guns to keep in mind when looting so i dont scrap the wrong thing

[fast pumice]

Idk if you want to use Exo or not, but the Spartan Helmet is the best helmet in the game.

And yes you can use it without wearing an Exoskeleton.

[tough lion]

Cap

[analog fern]

ok, where do i find the guys who wear it?

[fast pumice]

Nosorog guys for the most part.

[analog fern]

ok

[remote fossil]

okay. what weapons are you using right now?

[analog fern]

spas and rpk (no drum mag) and i have a saiga rn im trying to repair

[fast pumice]

If you can find people wearing the helmet that kinda looks like Tachanka from R6S then they can drop the Heavy "Apocalypse" helmet, which is the second best in terms of ballistic protection.

[placid wraith]

My gun becomes super blurry when looking down ironsights. How do I fix?

[analog fern]

what abt suits? im running a merc exosuit (base) rn i was wondering if you know anything to look out for that i can find

[fast pumice]

As in the heavy "Radsuit" (that it is called in the description)?

There's a few decent armours to keep an eye out for.

[analog fern]

yep

[plush dove]

you don't need the best gun, just lots of ammo. Especially if you don't plan to go South after
I suggest a sniper rifle with AP, and something for cqb.

You don't need D tier weapons for brain scorcher

[fast pumice]

If you want to do an artifact focused build keep an eye out for any of the Proto-Exo that can reach 7 belt slots.

[analog fern]

i have done brain scorcher

[plush dove]

oops read it wrong

[analog fern]

i have wings of freedom exo its fine

[plush dove]

For the North the best thing to do is go back South
it's so boring

[fast pumice]

A few of the best non-exo armours are Merc Pathfinder and ACE Scientific Suits, or the Factionless Hybrid Armoured Suit.

[thorn island]

the best non-exo is the orange diaper

[plush dove]

But seriously a battle rifle in 7.62 should be enough for everything

[fast pumice]

I'd rather die than wear a giant "come kill me" Ecologist suit.

[analog fern]

any reccomendations for me?

[fast pumice]

Even the 5.45/5.56 rifles should be largely enough.

BRN-180 is a pretty good 7.62×39 rifle.

[thorn island]

it's a statement. it turns you into the unkillable beast, and you're not afraid to flaunt it

[analog fern]

ja i mean my rpk is a 60rd full auto 5.45

[plush dove]

SCAR is like my gun for everything. But anything works trust me

[analog fern]

most 7.62 rifles are D tier so i cant really get any

[fast pumice]

This is my current loadout (even though I'm still pre-BS because lazy).

[analog fern]

i do have a ak 104 alpha in teir d

[plush dove]

what do you have rn?

[analog fern]

Ace suit so early?

[fast pumice]

Yep.

[plush dove]

SVU a C class gun is so broken

[analog fern]

i have RPK (no drum mag) and spas, with a saiga 12 on the way

[fast pumice]

Got it off an Expert Merc at the Dead-City - Army Warehouses Checkpoint.

[plush dove]

the rpk and spas is plenty good
especially if the rpk takes 7.62x39

[fast pumice]

I've been focusing on getting the artifacts I need for my final artifact belt.

[analog fern]

you have to use an upgrade to convert it right?

[fast pumice]

Already ready to make my third maxed empty.

[plush dove]

no there're 2 types

[fast pumice]

Need to make them both into full empty.

Got two extra wrenches ready.

[analog fern]

nah its the 5.45 rpk 16 type

[fast pumice]

My ballistic resistance is already pretty high.

Means I can survive more stray shots, but I can't be a reckless idiot.

[remote fossil]

okay. I have some thoughts. First, use what you enjoy. Second, I have some opinions. For the pistol slot, common choices are SR2M, P90, MP7, and Glock Hornet. For snipers, keep an eye out for the lapua weapons (AWMS and Barrett) and the federal weapons (Deer Hunter and DVL Sabo). For shotguns, look out for the Saiga Tactical, KS-12, and Raptr if you like big mags and buckshot. The other option is the KSG-23 that shoots the Shrap/Barricada rounds and holds 11 in a tube. For rifles, i suggest skipping any RD weapons. Look for the SR3M Vikhr instead of the VSS. the BRN and AK Alfa arent really worth it if you have already found a 762x51 weapon but some people like them. the MDR and Galil are okay but the SA58 OSW is better. The Scar H is the only 762x51 that uses an underbarrel grenade launcher and the EOTS thermal sight. Also, honorable mentions go to any weapon that can use a grenade launcher.

[plush dove]

it's fine tbh
Radar is kinda end-game esque
The thing about the North is that enemy all use AP, so protection is more important
A few extra exos to deal with doesn't make 5.45 and 5.56 unviable

[fast pumice]

The KS-23 is a B-Tier Shotgun (the one I have in my melee slot) that also uses the 23×75mm and can ne upgraded to the Vorkuta that can hold six shells.

[remote fossil]

oh almost forgot. a lot of people like the AN94 for it's hyperfire burst mode. also look out for the RD939

[plush dove]

the RD939 is a bonker gun, ugly af tho
i'd just rather use the VAL

[fast pumice]

To add onto the RD939 and I saw the Vintorez on your list earlier. You must get the flatness upgrades to use them at longer ranges.

Due to using the 9×39 subsonic ammunition (therefore lower velocity) you'll notice significant drop without them.

[remote fossil]

i think the RD939 is getting another reskin in the next update

[analog fern]

new list

[plush dove]

Too fancy for me anyway, but cheers

[analog fern]

Im still looking for RD guns cause they have easy ammo

[remote fossil]

oh and another thing. there's a special version of the SVDS called the Retribution that shoots at 550 rpm

[fast pumice]

Also uses NATO scopes, so you can use March F (24×).

[analog fern]

i like punchy snipers not dmrs and i allready have a big ass sniper

[fast pumice]

[gilded sable]

whys this car so BIG

[plush dove]

lol don't bother with guns, what you gotta wish you could find early are:
-Expert tools
-Exo repair recipe
The latter took me the entire playthrough

[fast pumice]

Optional: Artifact T3.

[analog fern]

i already know that but its more of a checklist so i dont scrapy anything good

[plush dove]

just shoot what you like

[gilded sable]

I can fit inside 😭

[analog fern]

i like the best

[fast pumice]

I usually collect rifles that interest me to stash at my base.

[plush dove]

only reason tbh

[fast pumice]

Most I'll probably never use, but they're there.

[plush dove]

yeah i always just use the same 5 guns

[analog fern]

same lol i still have a vivitez i picket up in cordon in my stash

[dusky raptor]

easiest way to get psi resistance?

[plush dove]

psi block and pelt?

[knotty rivet]

My 12th outskirts tool stash giving me advanced tools

[analog fern]

bubble hat a grey seva suit

[remote fossil]

i would still consider the P90, MP7 and Glock Hornet for pistol slot if you find them.

[plush dove]

yellow stash? oof

[analog fern]

i found the p 90 and im using grizzly rn

[fast pumice]

The best psy-resistance is escaping the source of psy-emissions as fast as possible.

[knotty rivet]

My last vet merc run was cursed

[plush dove]

P90 and Tommy guns are 2 weapon that are viable the entire game

[knotty rivet]

50 round Tommy gun is diabolical for mutants with it only being an A class weapon

[plush dove]

aboslute bonker Pseudogiant killer
for a gun you could easily find in Cordon

[knotty rivet]

Yep. I finally got to try 338 federal on mutants tho

One tapped small chimeras to the head and 3 tapped black chimeras

[plush dove]

can't be worth it just from that

[remote fossil]

buying Psysucker Goulash from Yantar will give 15% psy res. Psyblock gives 18%. Etperazine gives 10%. Controller Scalp is 30%. Psyfur is 15%. Psysucker skin is 15%. and Improved Aluminum Frames is 16%. There are many artifacts that give a ton of Psy res. also, many Helmets have natural psy res.

[analog fern]

are there any clear sky bases in the north? i have good rep but every time i need nato ammo i need to go down to the swamps or suck it up and but shittier ammo from freedom.

its what has stopped me from trying nato guns

[knotty rivet]

3-4 shots for a pseudo giant

[plush dove]

Bit of a silly gun to add to the game tbh

destroy the point of Gauss gun and .338 guns

[knotty rivet]

I like a dedicated mutant sniper tbh, and the ammo is relatively cheap for the raw flesh damage

[analog fern]

how do yall get your nato ammo? i cant seem to find a good source in rostock or higher, because i wanna try get some while im getting my rep up with freedom (fyi im already at max rep with duty and clear sky)

[plush dove]

What specific ammo.
5.56 you could just buy craft them

[rain bolt]

i always get an assload of these when i raid the sarcophagus

[remote fossil]

it's only really Freedom, Clear Sky, and Mercs for normal playthroughs. I'll get my Freedom rep up and also disguise to do Merc quests for their rep.

[analog fern]

just any relliable vendor

[analog fern]

but doesnt most good gear come from killing mercs?

[fierce fable]

clearsky is good too

[analog fern]

kinda need a source for 7.62

[analog fern]

where do i find a base for them in the north?

[remote fossil]

i like to do a Merc quest called "No Step Back". you fight waves of Monolith of around 30-40 total. it's a repeatable quest and a good way to farm.

[analog fern]

ok, where do i find it????

[fierce fable]

theres no base for them in the north
unfortunately you need freedom for that but if you are in the late game you should have no problem buying 5.45 and converting them to 5.56

[analog fern]

ok

[remote fossil]

it's a quest from Mercenary NPCs in Dead City. you will probably need a disguise depending on your faction

[pearl forum]

So I got a Duty companion but I want her to go to the freedom base for tasks. is there any mod that makes them not shoot on sight? BEcause my companion didn't shoot first ya know

[analog fern]

any tips for grinding out freedom rep?

[plush dove]

they shouldn't
"he is with me" should be in GAMMA no?

[fierce fable]

become a druggie

[pearl forum]

Nothing but staying in their base and accepting the tasks like crazy, do it in Army freedo, or Yanov Staion

[analog fern]

where are they?

[plush dove]

just grind their fetch quest in Army Warehouse
buy what u dont have

[analog fern]

[dusky raptor]

trying to repair my armour and tbh i have no idea how i'm meant to intentionally acquire any of these . like i just don't know what to do

[fierce fable]

heres a traders spreadsheet if you ever want to maximize selling stuff

[gilded sable]

Armor/gun parts can be found randomly all across the zone, alternatively they can be obtained from disassembling armor pieces or other items

[rain bolt]

thank god they fixed the rostok fights, it was annoying trying to fight your supposedly friendly guys plus the enemies\

[dusky raptor]

i kinda let it get way too damaged because i suck and i only figured out now that it gets harder and harder to repair armour the more damaged it is

[rain bolt]

also what happened to the mutant challenges? was it because the beast kept dying and not letting you out of the arena?

[dusky raptor]

is there any way to highlight an item you need so that you don't forget about it and skip past it when at a trader?

[fierce fable]

you disassmeble random suits you find on random stalkers osme will have high conditions on specific parts
you disassemble their armor if its 50 or more you can repair it to get to 100 (the part)
then the armor itself you can use emergency repair kits and what not to repair it to 100 as well
you may also buy the parts from tech guys just hover over the armor and it will highlight the parts tehy have for that specifci armor /gun

[gilded sable]

Simply enough grab everything you can, eventually you'll get something you need for your armor

[remote fossil]

you can right click the item and set as Favorite.

[dusky raptor]

omg what you can repair the induvidual parts???

wait no i misread wait did i what

[fierce fable]

if the parts are 50 condition or up (for armor parts) you can repair them

using the field armory kit or something i forgot its name and some parts are repaired using sewing thread iirc

[wide ice]

Field armor kit you’re right

[remote fossil]

yep. the cloths are sewing kits. pretty much everything else is field kit

[analog fern]

anyone got some good t3 artefacts?

[remote fossil]

also, you can pick up multiple of each material and use one as a supplemental material to add their percentages together. in this way, parts below 50% are still useful

[dusky raptor]

i'm starting to feel eternally stuck in early early game rn .. i have so many stashes in agroprom but the military completely demolish me i really need to go back in a disguise and explore further north probably . i just need to get my armour up to full before i do that lol

not great loadout

[remote fossil]

most artifacts have a purpose you can use them for. normally you try to go for a loadout that increases ballistic res and rupture res. eventually you can carry sets of different artifacts to give you 95% res in different damage types whenever you need it

[fierce fable]

once you get hte hang of it about parts reparing and what not it will get easier
also a tip for the armor you can get it up to 70-80% then you can use stuff like glues, emergency repair kit or basic, advanced or heavy repair kit to fix it up

[dusky raptor]

yeah i seen ppl saying that

[wide ice]

The 85% Emergency Repair Kit is the cheapest per use

[nova folio]

its not, basic repair kit is cheaper

[remote fossil]

yeah, it's generally best to keep your armor very high. popular choices are the 90% glue + duct tape and also the 85% Emergency Kit. (right click and check details to look at supplemental items)

[nova folio]

with more charges it ends up cheaper

[fierce fable]

dont oyu use one use of basic repair kit to make like 4 emergency repair kits though

[plush dove]

the 90% glue is rubbish
save it for crafting

[fierce fable]

use the m17 glue when the armor is at 98% for aura

[nova folio]

im not sure what you mean proportions are all wrong

[fast pumice]

I use it for top-ups.

[nova folio]

one charge for 2 charges of emergency is a thing i guess
Bit too expensive tho

[fast pumice]

Probably the only thing its good for.

[dusky raptor]

ALSO i need to fuckjing get out of great swamp forever. i hate this place

[remote fossil]

i do the same thing. repair 5% total with the 90% glue + duct tape. or 8% if you have the achievement

[dusky raptor]

i set up my first stash here (fridge + ammo box + stash & backpack stash too) but i am seriously regretting it because the trek out of great swamp is annoying

[fierce fable]

ahh nvm yeah i got it wrong

[copper ledge]

Decent for hobo stage

[pearl forum]

Grind Clear Sky until maximum then leave brutha

[fast pumice]

Sometimes my armour is only like 99% or 98% and I'll just use the 90% glue to put it back to 100% before I head out again.

The price is negligible at this point.

[pearl forum]

It's fucking annoying if the protective glasses broke I can't see shit even tho it's like 95

[copper ledge]

Lowk wanna build my base up there

[fast pumice]

Reminder that armour durability damage is based on damage received, so if you pump up your ballistic resistances your armour will be damaged less.

[analog fern]

is this bad plan or nah?

Odd. Because it happened randomly. I was walking around fine. Then randomly died. Loaded the same save, gave temp torso health and was a-okay.

[copper ledge]

@plush dove if I remove the volat

[nova folio]

sounds like torso health dropped to 0

[gleaming robin]

man eats radiation

[placid wraith]

My body health never changed between saves. I was just out chilling near a campfire both times.

[copper ledge]

This belt should be fine for a while tho, just need to either replace the lukrer with a chimera hide or a better condition lurker hide

[plush dove]

Yeah but usually to balance the volat, I have to sacrifice ballistic res

[nova folio]

campfire doesnt heal limbs

[placid wraith]

No shit. I know.

[hollow pollen]

There should be more modkits for the M4. I'd love the M4A1 SOPMOD and the like, honestly.

[dusky raptor]

is meadow known to be laggy or buggy

[old dune]

Only sleeping (for "passive" way) right ?

[copper ledge]

Only armor that will replace this Merc Pathfinder is an ISG noso
With those 6 slots I will also add back the full empty and just ball
otherwise my belt stays like this

We are balling SO hard

[ripe dust]

Trying out monolith for the first time, 40 mins in and I get super lucky in bloodsucker village just 2 legends sitting there along with 5 other higher ranking military guys, was able to completely fix an ak5c and an MP-155 with the parts combined from all the guns.

Where should I head to for missions also?

[nova folio]

yea
i mean technically there's a sandstone but its godawful in default gamma

[copper ledge]

[eager acorn]

this what i used to run

[copper ledge]

Dude
How did I go from 30% rad resist to 111% in 20 minutes

[nova folio]

dumped your health and bleed

[hollow pollen]

Dude is the rad filter

[hollow pollen]

Oh fuck, he's gonna have a bad time...

[analog fern]

-6 health regen????

[copper ledge]

This is how itll normally stay tho

[old dune]

Just pledge your soul to the zone, you'll be fiiiinnnneeee

[copper ledge]

I heal faster then I can take damage with lucifer

[hollow pollen]

E, that's the most high maintenance slots I've seen so far

[copper ledge]

Not really?

I just feed lucifer an arte or 2 every now and then, I have a whole stash of artes

[plush dove]

what are you wearing for 65 BR

[old dune]

Lucifer is nice from what I have seen, as long as you keep getting arte to feed it

[copper ledge]

Apoc helm

[analog fern]

what do you usually freed lucifer and what effects does he give you????

[plush dove]

what suit?

[hollow pollen]

Reduces psi to heal health, passively heals psi health

[copper ledge]

Merc Pathfinder

[eager acorn]

what should bro name be

[plush dove]

新鮮な Export

[copper ledge]

Huge movement speed buff
Huge strength buff
passive bodyhealth healing
ect
I just feed him whatever artes I dont need

[eager acorn]

[hollow pollen]

name him Soap

[eager acorn]

too late

[tacit raven]

what does this mean i was playing this morning and this didnt happen

[old dune]

Lucifer is just a chill arte, he just hungry

[plush dove]

send to #support lad

[tacit raven]

nvm game loaded

[copper ledge]

I should be chillin for the rest of the game ngl

[analog fern]

what are some baseline res you reccomend? like is %40 rad bad for lategame?

[copper ledge]

I finished my last save with worse stats

[plush dove]

i mog your ballistic and rupture res
Full Empty/pseudogiant hide combo

[nova folio]

lategame is at least 65%-75% ballistic
70% rad

everything else kind of a preference

[copper ledge]

Just wait till I get a isg noso and mog you with a 74 br class and max ballistic res

[old dune]

Honestly I barely played, I just enjoy the atmosphere every time I decide to launch it and then wait for another stalker fever to hit me

[plush dove]

but you won't (you'll never find it)

[old dune]

Bro is the wall

[copper ledge]

DONT TELL ME THE TRUTH!

[copper ledge]

I remember once in swamps with like 68 br a fuckin renegade domes me in the back of the head with a 20 gauge and that shit just bounces off

[analog fern]

can anyone see any way to sneak in some health restoration? lucifer seems like the best solution but i dont really wanna cause im also hungry for artefacts

or do i just use a fucktonne of meds

[drowsy tundra]

i use chain

[analog fern]

wat does that do

[drowsy tundra]

health and stam regen, not alot but enough

[analog fern]

!artefacts

[nova folio]

bleed restore is stronger
But can replace Eye if you want

[rain flare]

Wait I just read somewhere that I need legendary rank to unlock 2 regular companions but I am only rank 3 or 4 and had hip, fanatic and 2 more randoms I recruited at flea market, how does it work. Or it means something different?

[empty iris]

Is the ACE merc suit a really good heavy armor?

[nova folio]

"really good"? no

Merc Pathfinder or Hybrid are stronger

[empty iris]

So trying to get that before MM isn't that worth it? I'm using a Skat-9 rn but it doesn't have good psi protection

And I found enough advanced tools for a heavy repair kit

[nova folio]

which skat

[empty iris]

Merc, cos I'm playing as merc

[analog fern]

no helmet

[empty iris]

What website is that?

[analog fern]

database website

[empty iris]

Ah k

[nova folio]

Bracelet + Aluminium frames + psyblock and you're good

[analog fern]

what do you guys think of my next goal???

[empty iris]

I do have a psysucker pelt as well that I can put on, but my current setup only gives me about 35% (Merc Skat-9, Apocalypse Helmet, Psysucker pelt and Pseudogiant pelt)

[nova folio]

40% psy resist is very comfortable for MM

[copper ledge]

Who wants to come over to OKC and get blackout drunk and play gamma with me

getting toasted works too

[placid wraith]

Nah, I ain't moving back to OKC until the end of next month.

[analog fern]

how hard is it to get a merc grassland or wooland exosuit?

[empty iris]

I can't even remember what I used for my last attempt, it was crazy I had like 65% psi res before MM

[gleaming robin]

are you lucky? if so, not hard

[analog fern]

ok

[placid wraith]

Been too long outside of the states. I want crab again and that one place in Bricktown isn't half bad.

[plush dove]

I really suggest learning the game before deciding on your end-game loadout

You WILL make lots of changes

[analog fern]

ok

[gleaming robin]

i mean I dont even do builds really - half the time ill never come across what ill need before im ready to beat end game - so I just make whatever I got work, if I dont think I can, then I grind

[eager acorn]

do sin automatically despawn down south?

[copper ledge]

Lame

[gleaming robin]

at a certain point as long as youre the quickest draw you gonna be just fine

[nova folio]

yes but not instantly

[eager acorn]

well it just did on garbage
i accepted the stolen specimen quest

[nova folio]

yea he'll despawn or runs towards red forest 50/50

[eager acorn]

it just failed. i thought it was only exo one

[copper ledge]

I'm technically in Yukon but like, its basically OKC

[plush dove]

You could plan and min max artifacts/belt attachment, yeah but then you'd hate the game

[gleaming robin]

plus arent all the armors getting reworked in may? if so its kinda moot to plan now (unless theyve already been released with the new stats somewhere I suppose)

[plush dove]

yeah that too

Is Stalker Unlimited like Anomaly for S2?

[hollow pollen]

Gamma test version probably. Plus, it's like the Tarkov build planner, it's like playing dressup for barbie dolls but for men

[gleaming nebula]

how the fuck do you survive the zaton northwest tunnel psyfield

[woeful pecan]

Mfw I'm sprinting across the map and a Chimera suddenly appears when I just used all my stamina on accident

[gleaming nebula]

just spamming psy stuff isnt reallly helping :c

[copper ledge]

I petition to turn newbies into offtopic2.0

[gleaming robin]

show him your bomboclat KS-23

[plush dove]

yeah psy damage is cancerous

espc those phantoms

[hollow pollen]

psyblock and a fuck ton of psy resist

[copper ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/boom-bomboclat-africa-weird-wow-gif-10086691561056475887

[hollow pollen]

probably use one of the perk artifacts which heal psi health

[gleaming nebula]

should i use a diff suit too

[woeful pecan]

I instantly died sadly
However
If I see him again I have a knife ready ❤️

[copper ledge]

Bumboclat rad resistance

[rain bolt]

god damn it i just died in fire anomaly bc i couldnt jump over a tree

i fucking hate my retarded life why am i even trying invictus

[copper ledge]

Got pretty good psy too

[plush dove]

you're ready for Courier's Mile

[copper ledge]

Fuck invictus, 100% the game like me(other then invictus

[rain bolt]

thats for chudlings

fuh naw

[plush dove]

you used to get server benefit for invictus or some bs

[copper ledge]

Lmao

[plush dove]

[gleaming nebula]

what suit you runnin

[copper ledge]

Says the one doing an invictus run for no reason

[mossy yew]

i did invictus with debug

[woeful pecan]

Fact: We should get a late game melee
Reason: I want to sprint at people wearing an exoskeleton with a sword 🧠

[copper ledge]

armor + belt

[woeful pecan]

I am so jealous

[gleaming nebula]

yeah i havent upgraded to heavy outfit yet

[plush dove]

what's the name colours anyway

[gleaming nebula]

[woeful pecan]

I just tried it and it works, I wasn't sure if I believed before

[gleaming robin]

wet, dry and Moist - the real big 3

[mossy yew]

this is bro

[mossy yew]

I only did moist because i knew there was someone named dry here

[plush dove]

propaganda

[mossy yew]

Wet is news to me

[rain bolt]

all im saying is completionist without invictus is missing the most important part, atp its juts a meaningless grind

[mossy yew]

No dawg its real

[woeful pecan]

Darnit
Sharper knife required for the Chimera
💔 I was looking forward to getting its pelt

[mossy yew]

Your telling me theres no ANIME GIRL in the thousands of soldiers in the monolith faction?

Theres going to be atleast one bro

[plush dove]

One cannot not be "better" at Stalker. You're only cheesing more

[plush dove]

most famous monolith pic oat

[hollow pollen]

That's the old one, new one is hotter

[copper ledge]

I'm being chased by a big black loud scary thing

[woeful pecan]

STALKER is so hard I say, as I quicksave before combat, save every time I kill an enemy, and quickload if I get shot

[mossy yew]

We havent even seen the monolith leaders unmasked what if they're girls with just really manly voices

[gleaming robin]

[mossy yew]

Ecologist girl RAAAAAAA

[hollow pollen]

employment status irrelevant, gooner status is always true

[copper ledge]

Monolith is like those female army psyops that trick horny ass dudes into joining the miltary

[hollow pollen]

...as i've been told, not me tho

[copper ledge]

Big black loud fast scary things scare me

[hollow pollen]

For me, it's Freedom, closely followed by Bandits

[soft oak]

Where is iskra

[plush dove]

They done make the Freedom one the most conservative looking

[copper ledge]

Invictus is for fat chuds
I'm a normal chud

[mossy yew]

Wait are those new factions? ive never seen some of the patches before

[hollow pollen]

yeah, STALKER 2 factions

[mossy yew]

I get the feeling most of those are just renames or reskins of the old factions

[woeful pecan]

Man
I want a mod that changes the dialogue from "Forget it" to "Nevermind" because I feel bad saying forget it and I don't know why 💔

[hollow pollen]

There's a bit of a hidden lore. There's a new faction in STALKER 2, of ex-Monolith people, the old Monolith girl turns normal in the new game, which is honestly wholesome. She smiles :)

[eager acorn]

not even an hour in

[mossy yew]

Noontide

[plush dove]

murderhoboing
Saying mean words

[woeful pecan]

TRUE !

[hollow pollen]

ye
but honestly, new Monolith girl is pretty fucking peak

[woeful pecan]

So many deformed barrels...So little time...

[hollow pollen]

there should be a mod to turn those into models and add em to the game, 10/10, GF2 Companions mod has a partner mod

[mossy yew]

me and hip bro

Jk i hate that bitch

[hollow pollen]

if you complete Hip's tasks, she won't be a companion then, will she? She said "come back later tonight" and fuckall happened coming back later tonight

[copper ledge]

When are we gonna get bows in gamma

I wanna take out a mono with a compound bow

[copper ledge]

!hip

[hearty saffron]

🫵

[mossy spindle]

Me and the Batmobile because the ‘fuck hip, Batmobile’ mod exists when?

[copper ledge]

Holy shit red forest runs like a quad amputee

[pearl forum]

Close enough welcome back Fear and Hunger

[copper ledge]

huh

[pearl forum]

Other than Voymastina, the rest are complete obnoxious to recruit, they'll constantly scream at your ears despite like 200m away

[pearl forum]

A great game ngl

[austere plume]

chat does anyone know why gamma is a billion gigs ik its a lot of mods but shouldnt most of the gigs be assets

[faint sapphire]

Grok does

But also remember that each modded gun probably has like 15 models

[austere plume]

bro put a bitcoin miner on my pc

[pearl forum]

I got an idea most ingenious.

Recruit all of them and then combine them with Strelok's group

[pearl forum]

I think I saw a single new gun mod is like 100mb+

[copper ledge]

Also theres a shitload of unused mods

Lots of unused lua stuff that eat up performance as well

[faint sapphire]

Right click any gun and count how many scopes it can attach
Each of those scopes is a separate gun model + scope

[austere plume]

modders be like hey I made a new gun its only a billion triangles

[copper ledge]

Gamma 1.0 when

[copper ledge]

Literally kmack

[faint sapphire]

That's simply how XRay handles guns

[austere plume]

I have zero knowlege abt stalker modding but I do have some experience in unity is there a reason why they cant just have a gun model and then a scope attachment point

[copper ledge]

Like cmon kmack

I love the guns, but they have TOO much detail

[faint sapphire]

Dunno, but STALKER was made with "when attach scope, despawn gun and spawn gun with scope" in mind

[copper ledge]

Xray is like 30 years old

[dreamy copper]

never have i heard of too much detail

[gleaming robin]

skill issue

[copper ledge]

Dude some of kmacks guns genuinely hurt my fps by 1 or 2

[gaunt shell]

Yeah the engine is old enough to drink

[austere plume]

chat I do not have the nasa gaming pc required to run a game with 800 ak/m4 variants with 3 billion triangles each

[dreamy copper]

oh shit.

glass him!

[copper ledge]

[austere plume]

it makes sense why they made stalker 2 in unreal but everyone hates it lol

[copper ledge]

Least detailed kmack gun

[faint sapphire]

You'll be fine, it's only 123GB

[copper ledge]

Mines like 230gb

[faint sapphire]

You do not speak

[austere plume]

I literally had to buy a second 1tb hard drive to be able to hold this game

which is worth it but I just feel like it could be 30gigs

[faint sapphire]

Maybe if it wasn't a bloated pack

But then again, a "decent" Skyrim modpack nowadays is 4000+ mods
But that's offtopic and we will not discuss it

[austere plume]

the big E's stalker folder is bigger than his "homework" folder

I am too scared deleting a mod that isnt even used will brick my shit for some reason

the wonders of x-ray are not to be trifled with
