you change it on your RF reciever to whatever frequency of the thing you are supposed to be looking for

you cant know what to look for if you dont have a frequency given to you

[eternal nacelle]

Oh

[elfin pine]

To start - remove the n-word from your pronouns

[eternal nacelle]

Well shit

[dreamy copper]

let me she/them titties

your honor. its not what it seems

[red wyvern]

Bailiff, whack his peepee

[green basin]

I forgot since the last time I did it. When I update, if I carry my mod list over, the newly added mods should be toward the bottom, right?

[dreamy copper]

if you save your modlist properly, it should retain the order and stuff also. if you update without doing anything, they get put towards the bottom but can get shuffled around and such so you have to re-enable them again

and re-sort them if they require certain priorities

[green basin]

Bet
Hopefully there won't be too much re-sorting needed 🤞

[mystic bloom]

Do stealth kills result in better dropped weapons? I noticed that whenever an enemy drops their gun after a stealth kill they have 2-3 green parts

Also is stealth kills the reason they drop their guns or is that a coincidence

[elfin pine]

that's just dropped guns in general caused by the loot stabilizer mod

it will be fixed for 0.9.5 but if you don't want freebies you can disable the addon now

[mystic bloom]

Ah

[mystic bloom]

The cause for dropped weapons is stealth kills though right?

[lyric notch]

When I saw the talking stone

[pallid comet]

Any idea why disabling a texture mod doesn't change the textures in-game, when i load my save?

[elfin pine]

in your case it seems so, but enemies can also just drop guns on death instead of instantly holstering them

[elfin pine]

because you need to refresh the entire game in order for texture mods to take effect

close and launch again

[pallid comet]

I relaunched the game like 4 times 😭

[valid river]

guys,skyfall mission has prolly been the most easiest and most rewarding quest

[dusk chasm]

first green barrel rifle
neat

[lyric notch]

Cool guys dont look at explosions

[valid river]

just go in james bond style

[elfin pine]

after unchecking "classic textures" mod it should just go back to how the game looked before unless the mod simply didn't take effect at all, it tends to happen with mods that are packed in db archives instead of having regular filetrees

you can always place it in Anomaly/Gamedata/Mods to verify

maybe try deleting shaders_cache in Anomaly/Appdata?

[valid river]

ahaha da me and vadim were sipping vodka 10secs before the ied exploded and i yeeted myself from there at 5secs

[twin pier]

First time using exo, fucking loving the sound this shit make but i guess ennemi can also hear from far away than usual so no stealth?

[dreamy copper]

nah enemies cant hear it

[valid river]

exo aint worth it brochacho

[lyric notch]

you must be poor

[twin pier]

Never tried it so giving it an try

[dreamy copper]

"Exos aint worth it" maybe try exos with actual artifact setups

[valid river]

yeah i got destroyed by 5 monoliths by wearing exo by headshots

[valid river]

i refuse

[dreamy copper]

skill issue

[mossy yew]

exos are for ppl who are too lazy to cover

[dreamy copper]

artifact builds*

the exos on their own does fuckall

[valid river]

id rather be fast in my apocalpse helm and heavy armour rather than exo

[lyric notch]

just upgrade servos

[dreamy copper]

thats funny cuz most exos has higher movement speed than heavy armors

[valid river]

servos?that can give you sprint?

[dreamy copper]

bruh

all exos can sprint

[valid river]

wait wait

[dreamy copper]

upgrade tree brochacho

[lyric notch]

yeah its an upgrade

[valid river]

oh my

[lyric notch]

you have to scroll

[dreamy copper]

its not rocket science

[valid river]

yeah guys il talk to you in about 6 hours,lemme go kill monos and craft stuff

byeeee

[lyric notch]

Bro boutta murder the entire planet for an exo lol

[uneven cobalt]

Does anyone know how I should move over GAMMA to a new ssd? I got a new pc but don't want to completely rid all of my saves and achievements and stuff.

[elfin pine]

!move

[valid river]

i will,i need that juice

[hearty saffron]

@uneven cobalt 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

[final blaze]

Eh it helps, lots of slots and carry weight, high br class means you dont bleed when shot as often

But yeah artis are the big thing

[dreamy copper]

thats not really how it works but aight

[valid river]

also just give me a heads up on where i could get exos

[dreamy copper]

the br class means fuckall for the exos in reality

[valid river]

father i crave the forbidden juice

[lyric notch]

I think its mostly tied to game progression, so you need to be like...master or whatever it is

[final blaze]

You still bleed when not penned?

[valid river]

jst tell me who to kill

[final blaze]

Nvm then

[dreamy copper]

bleed is based on damage taken. you just stack ballistic resistance instead since you still get penned by mono, sin, unisg due to how BR class is dogshit in 0.9.4

[lyric notch]

Literally just murder guys in exo, eventually one will drop. Check your statistics to make sure youre higher rank

[valid river]

aight then il just go to the mil bases

[final blaze]

Idk i think i read somewhere that you never bleed from bullets when not penned, guess that was misinfo

[uneven kite]

Also get some batteries exo is useless without them

[lyric notch]

Yeah, you need batteries and a power supply

[final blaze]

Yeah i guess

[dreamy copper]

lower chance to bleed, but you will never bleed if you just cap ballistic res instead since thats flat, regardless of pen or not

[empty iris]

Best PSU is Reactor iirc

[dreamy copper]

ye, Reactor is the best fo sure

[valid river]

i have battery artifacts is that enough?

[final blaze]

Damn thats good. Funny how that works. Kinda defeats the whole "this artifact gives you ballistic resist at the cost of making you bleed out" thing

[lyric notch]

youll want one of those for the good PSU but you need specifically exosuit batteries. they're like 11k for 100 charge

[uneven kite]

No u need batteries that are obtainable over traders or bodies

[dreamy copper]

yes but also no, i dont feel like explaining that whole shit again

[valid river]

gauss batteries?

[unique heath]

we're so fucked chat

[dreamy copper]

it feels like i do every single day

[elfin pine]

write it once, copypaste for eternity

[unique heath]

9+ snorks

[lyric notch]

GRENADA

[uneven kite]

Try getting ISG's exo It's rly good in my opinion

[dreamy copper]

how am i supposed to have something to complain about if i do that

[valid river]

where that

[unique heath]

outskirts and pripyat, mostly.

[valid river]

location,time,venue i need it now

[lyric notch]

ISG is kinda hard to find. they're scattered throughout jupiter and zaton normally

[valid river]

alr lemme go speedrun brain scorcher and miracle

[unique heath]

they're the best armed faction in the game.they will kick your ass.

[uneven kite]

Outskirts and sometimes in zaton and jupiter idk where is their base

[valid river]

eehh nah

[elfin pine]

if you have negative bleeding even at 90 BR% for pen shots they can kill you if not treated
usually its just slower since 10% of damage intake = bleeding "force" but if its a red bleed you need to treat it near instantly or you die

non-pen hits are meant to have a 0% chance of bleeding (that's why i was curious about 0.9.5 NOT protecting you from bleeds on non-pen hits)

[unique heath]

jupiter sometimes at the underground entrance yeah

[lyric notch]

They have no base thats one of their things is being decentralized

[uneven kite]

High risk high reward

[valid river]

ah well who hates isgs,so i can get bounty

[eager acorn]

hi oflin

[lyric notch]

everybody except mercs lol

[chilly canyon]

everyone but the merc

[elfin pine]

hey expo

[chilly canyon]

ive never seen a "kill isg" bounty doe

[valid river]

fk.il go kill mercs then,hated them anyways

[ember dew]

ello bois
back after really long
quick question
how do we install the extra graphics mods in Mo2?

[lyric notch]

army, mercs, and duty are probably your best exo sources since they're all relatively high geared

[valid river]

also how do i screenrecord,i might have to record the stuff on cam

[elfin pine]

!ctrlm

[hearty saffron]

@ember dew
⠀

[eager acorn]

ive gotten it sometimes in jupiter from freedom

[ember dew]

aha thanks alot bruh

[elfin pine]

use obs or any other record/streaming software?

[meager peak]

They do have one with the Story in Jupiter's underground entrance

[lyric notch]

Yeah, but thats only if you are isg

[valid river]

like i just wanna screenrecord with no loss in perfomance

[twin pier]

Can also use AMD or nvidia software

[uneven kite]

Use OBS

[turbid rose]

If my relationship with a faction is minimal, can I make it better? For example the military... I already murdered a lot of them, but can we still be friends?

[meager peak]

Yeah

[uneven kite]

I never had performance issues when i used it

[chilly canyon]

is your faction naturally hostile with military?

[elfin pine]

if goodwill didn't reach -1000, then you can use disguises to do tasks and better the relation

[eager acorn]

the xbox gamebar?

[dreamy copper]

aight just OA left now for my invictus. hoping i dont have to reload a morbillion times for it to work

[lyric notch]

these

[eternal nacelle]

Can i not repair a barrel

[lyric notch]

only with full kit, you replace it

[turbid rose]

I'm Stalker... so yes?

[valid river]

oh yeah i have like 14

[final blaze]

Afterglow is such a buggy piece of shit. When is somebody finally gonna fix that?

[elfin pine]

you can clean one both inside and outside the gun assuming its at 60% condition (not to confuse with damage output)

[eternal nacelle]

So this MP5 with a broken barrel is probably not worth it

[valid river]

that literally taxes my perfomance by 50%

[twin pier]

[lime pawn]

Okay the M700 fuckin rules, I dropped a renegade from like half a kilometer out

[ember dew]

there used be a like a guide on how to install mods and all
anyone know that ?
just installing the treest and grass mod
but i dont exactly remeber which one mods am i supposed to deselect after installing grass mods
anyone ?

[twin pier]

Personally i use AMD software and it take 0 fps

[eager acorn]

idk then
obs is more taxing, but more control on the quality. so try obs ig

[turbid rose]

if I use disguise, will my own faction not recognize me?

[twin pier]

Yes

[elfin pine]

mods should come with install instructions, just read and apply

usually texture mods and whatever are plug and play

[ember dew]

maybe you have a high end gpu
i have 5700xt and it takes huge fps from me
honestly xbox thingy takes less fps

[ember dew]

good question no read me files :/

[elfin pine]

disguises make you seen as the faction you disguise as, you take on their relations

if you happen to disguise as someone your faction is enemy as - they will shoot you

[elfin pine]

moddb page..

[twin pier]

I know nothing about those tbh cant tell if i have good spec or nah let me tell u which gpu i have

[ember dew]

aight thnx

[bleak pebble]

how big of an overhaul is 9.5 really gonna be

[ember dew]

damn
that scentence told me you have good gpu lmfao

[elfin pine]

highlights:

• Armor Rework which consists of changes to armor stats, BRC damage reduct calculation, changes to artefacts, pelts and plates - calculation differences here: #╟🔰☢newbies-chat message
• Use of #1467056699683770379 by default for slightly increased performance
• Use of A-Life Plus for expanded movement of NPCs around the map
• Additions of tradeable laptop which lets you trade with nearby traders without going to them directly or the artefact harvester which can be used to get other items by tumbling the rocks
• Various other addons, fixes, quality of life mods and optimization to scripts such as:

that's about it

[valid river]

gimme the actual name of the thing

[eager acorn]

oh the pistol swap getting added too huh

[final blaze]

I heard if you fully upgrade a gun, then use a special upgrade kit on it to turn it into a different gun, then upgrade it fully again, your gun will inherit all the upgrades twice. Is that true or has that been fixed?

[twin pier]

Hell nah it just some friend build me this pc cuz i was on laptop lmao so never rly took the time to learn about those stuff gpu/cpu etc and i have 5700xt like u

[turbid rose]

If I kill them... will my personal relationship with them suffer?

[ember dew]

AMD adrenaline softwares(basically amd gpu drivers) and the thing is called Relive

[twin pier]

Since i have amd gpu it AMD:Software adrenaline for me

[lyric notch]

Yeah, youll take the standard like 10 for killing a hostile stalker

[ember dew]

oh well then maybe you havent monitored it cuz it takes huge fps

[elfin pine]

you will at best lose -10 goodwill per kill, at worst -110 if game still checks if you're part of that faction by default or have enough goodwill to be neutral towards them

[eager acorn]

is the mt in tester any different from the thread #1467056699683770379 ?

[elfin pine]

nuh

[meager peak]

477 I need to install that on Old World Modpack I have, I forget

[twin pier]

Didnt realized any différence with replay able or disable that why now it always ON

[elfin pine]

or well i suppose the one difference is that Grok keeps unpacking the exes

because "how do you expect thousands of users to delete the files each time" even tho you realistically would only need to do that for legacy builds and anyone installing forward would have a clean install

[eager acorn]

mhm

[meager peak]

It is rather annoying to find ones that ask for a guide, they say I am "here", just to get there and they aren't most of the times

[turbid rose]

Ok ok... what iffff... I remove my disguise while they're shooting me? Will they go "Oh shit it's you!"

[twin pier]

Yes

[elfin pine]

yeh they'll stop shooting

unless you shot at them before

[final blaze]

Does anybody know?`

[elfin pine]

or killed a member of their squad

[twin pier]

Always happen when TP to merc base after wiping duty with they own stuff

[elfin pine]

in which case they won't forget

[elfin pine]

its still there for guns that had this ""bug""

[meager peak]

I don't see that bug happening, I see people talking about it, maybe it is certain weapon kits only

[mossy yew]

yes

[final blaze]

Does this work on every gun that has a transformation kit?

[mossy yew]

maybe

[elfin pine]

i think only on some

[final blaze]

That sounds pretty busted tbh

[elfin pine]

you can always just check in debug

[final blaze]

Im gonna try the shakal ak105 this run, ill try it on that

[elfin pine]

105's have that bug

[turbid rose]

Hmmm okay another question... I used the SCAR artifact, and it possessed me while I was in Clear Sky base. It made me shoot randomly and killed two sky people. One person became hostile, I hid in the corner and he pushed me. I tapped him once and suddenly he wasnt hostile anymore.

Was that a bug?

[final blaze]

Hell yeah 1000+rpm here we go

[elfin pine]

even more - it has upgrades that let you infinite stack them

[final blaze]

Wait really? how?

[elfin pine]

upgrade box isn't getting "ticked" but effects still apply

[meager peak]

I guess the ones that change the gun completely?

[valid river]

guys how do i make use of my 25 artifacts

[final blaze]

Can u give an example

[lyric notch]

artifact melter. combine them, fuse them into better artifacts, profit

[final blaze]

I wanna go look for myself in debug

[elfin pine]

ROF upgrade > apply > rof upgrade box is still grayed out but you get the benefit > rof upgrade again > apply > rof upgrade box still gray but you get the benefit > repeat

[final blaze]

On the shakal or the normal 105?

[elfin pine]

shakal

[final blaze]

No way that actually works. Im gonna go try that. Thatd be hilarious

Shakal is already pretty goated with the increased damage and big mag, thatd make it even better

[elfin pine]

pretty sure it doesn't increase damage

okay interesting

it does

[final blaze]

Yeah it goes from 37 to 40, same as rd74

[elfin pine]

four points on actual gun damage

[final blaze]

Im gonna try using it as a mutant killer, never tried rifles for mutant killing before

[valid river]

damn aight

[final blaze]

I think itll be crazy. The base rpm is only 700 but it can get a lot higher with upgrades

[rancid ridge]

Probably a dumb question but does anyone sell rope? I haven't found anyone selling any

[elfin pine]

1.14x ammo damage multiplier of 5.45 FMJ
37.24 base
40.28 shakal

[final blaze]

Yeah

[elfin pine]

some traders sell synthetic rope which can be disassembled

[final blaze]

If using hp then pseudogiants on regular 5.45 aks take like 70 rounds to kill, shakal takes 60

Add a suppressor and it becomes 56, almost like unsuppressed hydrashock from a ump

[elfin pine]

yeh makes sense, its 4 damage points away from .45 Hydrashok only without all the downsides

56.53 base on 1.6x 5.45 HP

[final blaze]

What are all the downsides anyway?

[elfin pine]

damage falloff over distance primarily

[final blaze]

I assume bad velocity and damage falloff?

Yeah i figured cause its a slow fatass round

I think its gonna be banger

[final blaze]

What do i need to do again for the stats on a gun to update after upgrading?

[elfin pine]

save and reload or switch maps

[final blaze]

Oh ok thanks

Gonna try the infinite fire rate upgrade thing now lmao, would be hilarious if it works

Ok the thing with the inherited upgrades definetly works. Fully upgraded ak105 converted to shakal, 960rpm instead of 700 and i still have a ton of firerate upgrades to do on this converted gun

[trail shoal]

I am having trouble post healing my head with post heal items like ibuprofen
Is there another item I am supposed to use

[indigo thunder]

guys how do I enable the custom pda from looted npc back? When I loot them and equip them it just show as normal pdas

[fallow quest]

!heal

[hearty saffron]

@trail shoal A quick video about how to basic heal yourself: #╭📖faq message

[elfin pine]

Ibuprofen is for arms and legs only

[fallow quest]

[final blaze]

Wow it actually works, you can endlessly upgrade firerate, thats hilarious

[flint quiver]

Is there a guide somewhere on how the disguise system works?

[elfin pine]

support sniper smh

[queen parcel]

is it worth trading artifacts for fetch quests?

[fallow quest]

[elfin pine]

!disguise / sorta

[hearty saffron]

So, @flint quiver you wanna learn the basics of Disguising? Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[final blaze]

You can endlessly upgrade recoil too

[flint quiver]

Thanks

[final blaze]

And reliability. This is gonna be fun

[elfin pine]

yes, you get better pay than if you directly sold them to a trader/ecologists

the higher the condition the better the pay

[elfin pine]

Artefact Melter is used to combine and craft artefacts, you can buy it from Ecologists or rarely find in stashes.
Fusing artefacts doesn't consume melter uses but empowering does
You need at least two uses of the melter in order to empower artefacts and those can be refilled by dragging the melter onto artefacts you wish to destroy in the process

To empower artefacts you need two of the same artefact, right click melter > empower artefact
This raises the condition of artefacts by addition (25+25 = 50) up to 98%

Perkifact > T1 crafting result in artefacts in condition of 27-35% while T1-T3 crafting relies on the average condition of artefacts - for example 98% + 35% = 67%, 98 + 98 = 98

[fallow quest]

Support sniper is a good one

[elfin pine]

[dense copper]

What the fuck do you guys use to deal with 3 pseudogiants lmfao

[indigo thunder]

like showing some messages and a occasinal stash location

[dense copper]

I'm trying to do the big game quest in jupiter

[elfin pine]

ieds

[final blaze]

Hmm yes, -1092 recoil control. 1200rpm

[red wyvern]

Whats the prospect of m249 hp as a goated mutie killer

[dense copper]

i forgot to bring my explosives lmfao

[queen parcel]

i got a quest for a sparkler but its at 31%

[elfin pine]

you can always go back to yanov station and buy ied's from ashot

then you approach the tunnel from the left side, open the inventory and hover over the ied
once the giants spawn you place one ied on a proximity timer and start running back about 20-30m, then place another one... and another after 20-30m again

they should just conga line into those IEDs which deal a ton of damage to them

then.... finish them up

[elfin pine]

31% might give you like 5k or so

98% one on fetch tasks should be like 30k

[final blaze]

Rpm doesnt seem to want to go above 1200 no matter how much i spam the upgrades tbh

Yeah, this is fine. not op at all

My god i wanna do this in a real game badly now this is gonna be fuuun

[bleak heart]

hey

[eager acorn]

hi

[sonic kelp]

lol

[final blaze]

Looks like its not infinite, there seems to be a wall that i hit

makes out at 1200rpm, 98% reliability and -1000 recoil control lol

Doesnt go up any more when i keep upgrading

[dusk chasm]

dafuq, -1000 recoil?
does that mean it doesnt move?

[red wyvern]

Please magdump and let us see the muzzle rise, or the lack thereof

[elfin pine]

well i didn't try going beyond like 10 upgrades as i just got bored, so i guess it does have a limit

[meager peak]

What happens with that "recoil control" kek

[dusk chasm]

[final blaze]

Theres no camera climb at all anymore but the gun firing animation still is shaky

[plush dove]

does disguise consider faction goodwill or rank?
my disguise no longer work, either with direct or friendly disguise

[final blaze]

So yea it still moves. Recoil on guns in gamma is mostly decided by whoever animated it

[mossy yew]

yes

[meager peak]

-1000 Goodwill against a faction makes X faction hostile to you, doesn't matter if you have a disguise

[final blaze]

Shakal has a pretty bad firing animation with shake compared to guns like f2000 competitor but this is still going to slap mutants so hard with the extra damage and 1200rpm

[plush dove]

got it
can you disable that

[eager acorn]

tbf most guns in gamba dont have much recoil

[final blaze]

They dont really have recoil in the traditional sense where you need to pull down much they kinda just shake around

[meager peak]

I wouldn't know how to disable that or killing X faction losing you goodwill, sorry

[fast pumice]

Bro thinks he's the protagonist.

[frozen grotto]

maybe in the disguise settings?

[meager peak]

@plush dove This should be it, actually

[uneven kite]

I think u can reset goodwill in debug mode

[plush dove]

might just debug it

[final blaze]

Ah, another sucky thing about the shakal is that it has a buggy ads animation where it snaps into place. Hope they fix that sometime

[plush dove]

not that I gaf about goodwill, I just want that sweet No Step Back quest from Hog

[sonic kelp]

trashtalking from the grave

[dense copper]

holy fucking SHIT it's MASSIVE what the fuck

[plush dove]

You know what
fuck the merc, I'm gonna level Dead City
time to finish this save

[slender niche]

It's almost funny how much good quality loot the mercs have

[uneven kite]

This can feed the whole cordon for days

[mossy yew]

mercs have the most tacticool slop

[slender niche]

It's kind of sad to put labels on guns
Like of all things

I do not get you

[flint quiver]

Can i stash my stuff safely in the box in Sid's bunker? or will someone steal them

[lyric notch]

boxes are safe

[meager peak]

NPCs don't loot stashes, so any place is safe to store loot

[slender niche]

I've never had stalkers take shit from stashes right in the open

[paper arch]

NPCs never looted stashes in stalker and GAMMA is no exception

[flint quiver]

Nice thanks yall

[mossy yew]

did yall know the monoltih is hiding in the north cuz of me

[slender niche]

(unfortunately)

[paper arch]

alife plus has that iirc

[trail shoal]

Is there a reason why I can't turn in the ball artifact to Fanatic as opposed to anomaly?

[slender niche]

Yeah but it's only on stash coordinates you get iirc not stashes you yourself make to store shit

[paper arch]

huh

[lyric notch]

the ball is your prize im pretty sure

[mossy yew]

so alfie plus makes stralkers loot?

[amber spade]

Hello stalker

[final blaze]

I wonder how much that actually matters. Is there any way to see the stats or calculate that for a range?

[paper arch]

it can IIRC
never used it myself

[meager peak]

The Ball artefact is your "reward" and the end of the tutorial tho

[slender niche]

It'd be interesting if NPCs followed similar progression to the player

[final blaze]

I guess i could just try it out in debug

[paper arch]

it's only noticeable for 9x39 and 12,7x55

[final blaze]

So dont worry about it unless i use those?

[mossy yew]

imagine we put fart physics in gamma kek

[meager peak]

https://stalker-gamma-db.com/db/gamma-0.9.4/all?lang=en Maybe you can check ballistics on this site?

[final blaze]

Doesnt buckshot or slugs have really high falloff?

[paper arch]

basically

[paper arch]

also yes and they have extra penalties against stalkers

[elfin pine]

buckshot has a -71% damage falloff over 100m
slugs are -40%

.45 is -42%

[paper arch]

especially buckshot which is nearly useless against anyone that isn't naked

[trail shoal]

Yea but my dialog with him is "I found it but it was empty" as opposed to "I found this artifact"

[woeful epoch]

What would you recommend for a non story mode run?

[elfin pine]

falloff starts to be noticeable beyond 20m

which is very close

[paper arch]

bandits

[woeful epoch]

Yeah but what to do?

[uneven kite]

Renegades are better

[paper arch]

rob people
iirc, there's actually a mod for that

[sonic kelp]

it's what...

[red wyvern]

wheres ashot I cant fix it until he brings it here

do I look like an errand boy, tell yar to come here himself

Fucking stoners

[final blaze]

Oh ok

[woeful epoch]

lol business as usual😄

[final blaze]

So the falloff stat is over 100m?

[paper arch]

low taper fade

[sonic kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/vahanzatikyan-ninja-low-taper-fade-massive-gif-6622896945091545124

[meager peak]

Yeah and his response should be something along the lines of "you getting aclimated to the zone to lie" I forgot the dialogue exactly now

[dense copper]

[meager peak]

Or it doesn't work is the problem?

[vestal venture]

This might be stupid question... But Why is fast travel aviable one time and the other time isnt?! It's from safe place to friendly base, I have more than enough cash and I am not in combat or near it.

[elfin pine]

its -42% at 100m

it starts to be noticeable beyond 20m

like..... falloff is taking effect the moment you shoot

[placid wraith]

There a way to remove preplaced furniture? Like I see a house and I want to remove the bed and place a bed I can actually sleep on.

[sonic kelp]

it tells you why

[trail shoal]

he just says you will do well in the zone

[final blaze]

Ok i see

[trail shoal]

I don't see whats the point of removing the other dialog option

[vestal venture]

It doesn't. It straight up don't give me the option for fast travel. Wich is silly because I literally took it before.

[trail shoal]

He lets you keep it either way

[sonic kelp]

did you turn off Areas?

[meager peak]

Maybe I will check in base Anomaly, I swear I don't remember any other options there, it has been so long I touched base Anomaly

[final blaze]

No wonder buckshot sucks so much beyond point blank lol

[elfin pine]

at least pellets can still fly far

20x70 stays more or less accurate at 100m distances

average combat takes place under 50m ofc

[paper arch]

TOZ-106
my favorite bandit blaster

[elfin pine]

as a comparison:

[sonic kelp]

tbf npc models are kind of unreliable at showing their actual protection so you might some some guys without helmets tanking headshots

[placid wraith]

Have my batteries been automatically replacing themselves? Or am I crazy?

[sonic kelp]

what

[paper arch]

Generator perkifact maybe?

[elfin pine]

there is no "auto-refill" feature so maybe you just got some device recharge bugs

[placid wraith]

Nah. I don't use perkifacts. Odd. Maybe I accidentally gave away a battery.

[final blaze]

Oh i know i only use buck against mutants

[harsh fiber]

Greetings dear newbs

[vestal venture]

Um... No. I never had an issue until recently... But turning areas off fixed it.
This is solid head scratcher, I know that areas and bases have different names and all but it was never a problem until I reached yanov station. I think that place is cursed it's the only place that causes stutters and my fast travel issues started only then.

[final blaze]

Its just buck loses like half its damage at 40m compared to point blank

[harsh fiber]

Do I detect several cases of skill issue?

[vestal venture]

Thanks for help

[harsh fiber]

You're welcome

[sonic kelp]

areas are overlayed over locations so they block the fast travel prompt

[harsh fiber]

Sometimes the locations are above the area things, or they simply don't collide with stuff nearby them

A large area above a single location can't block fast travel in my experience

[final blaze]

But now im definetly gonna grind for the shakal, wanna try it out, i think itll slap

[paper arch]

Skadovsk blocks the icon with like a million other ones

[sonic kelp]

i am still pissed about this

[elfin pine]

if the falloff is a flat value that can be halved.... then 35% damage loss over 50m
70% over 100m

[paper arch]

I'm saving this and posting it everytime someone says GAMMA is about realism

[vestal venture]

Shakal is great. It has one outdated feature. The kit says it gives your 105 an ACOG but I am pretty sure that I got HAMR instead

[elfin pine]

idk how its calculated so it might not be that easy to decode

unless....

[final blaze]

It gives you nothing. You just get a picatinny rail and get to put on whatever u want

[paper arch]

onlin gonna pull out the momo out of #╟❓general-offtopic

[final blaze]

It has a bugged ads animation though which is a bit of an eyesore

[wild patrol]

0.9.5 soon...

[paper arch]

inb4 one month delay

[vestal venture]

Are you sure about that?

[wild patrol]

Nope, doesn't give a scope anymore, text is outdated

[final blaze]

Yeah it says that but then you put it on and you just get a rail

Item descriptions are just text that someone wrote, its not dynamic

[wild patrol]

It puts a cool camo on your ak though, i think that's neat

[wild patrol]

But you're paying 100k+ on more 15 bullets a camo and a picattiny rail

[sick grove]

most expensive glowup just to be replaced by another gun

[vestal venture]

Huh... I got HAMR on it... Without buying any

[elfin pine]

point blank - 149
50m - 112
58m - 54
100m - 45

so its 25% at 50m
63% at 58m
70% at 100m

[final blaze]

You also get extra damage equal to an rd74 and up to 1200rpm

[wild patrol]

At this point just use a damn ak-74 PMC

[paper arch]

!true

[hearty saffron]

⠀

[wild patrol]

Wait, it gets extra damage? i gotta look this up

[paper arch]

flavortext

[sonic kelp]

.338 federal btw

[final blaze]

Yeah you do, i found it on accident, its lowkey a hidden gem i think

Might just be the best mutant shredder

[vestal venture]

Ok... Shakal doesn't give you optic anymore... Is it the same story for swamp thing or does it still get specter?

[final blaze]

Same story i think

[elfin pine]

harsh falloff ig but still good within the average combat range

[final blaze]

Better that way honestly, lets you choose what to put on

[final blaze]

is that for 12ga regular slugs

[elfin pine]

that's for buckshot

[final blaze]

oh ok. makes sense

[elfin pine]

no wait

fuck

[harsh fiber]

Have any of you ever seen a bizonified ak?

[final blaze]

i think its slugs. 150 sounds like slug

[elfin pine]

it was for slugs

[final blaze]

yeah, buckshot has even worse falloff

[elfin pine]

i thought i got 12x76 buckshot......

grr

[final blaze]

i mean it makes sense, slugs are extremely heavy and slow so they have terrible ballistics

Not very aerodynamic either

Probably exaggerated but who cares it a gaem

[paper arch]

the north korean one?

[harsh fiber]

Indeed

[wild patrol]

Yeah he's right, the shakal gets 4 extra damage

[final blaze]

Combine that with the spread and its lowkey ass for mutants if youre not right in their face. I used to be obsessed with running shotguns but ill try rifles more now

[wild patrol]

However, only 50 extra RPM, which is almost nothing

[vestal venture]

Huh... Is there any chance that difficulty is changing anything?
Because I bought shakal last week and I did get an optic and it wasn't acog. Also recently I bought swamp thing just out of curiosity and it still gave me specter.

[snow shoal]

Just aim or use saiga

[wild patrol]

Shakal attributes compared to the regular ak-105

[final blaze]

Take ak105, upgrade it fully, convert to shakal, upgrade fully again, spam the endless upgrades a few times, congrats 1200rpm

[elfin pine]

point blank - 205
22m - 135
23m - 66
50m - 46
100m - 1.5

[paper arch]

neither the swamp thing nor the shakal should give you a sight iirc

[final blaze]

Old gamma on my end or on your end maybe

[elfin pine]

50m is still "fine" with two shots on target

assuming all pellets hit

[dense copper]

very happy about this lmfao

[final blaze]

Yeah this is what i mean lmao 20m and youve basically already lost half your damage for the muties

[wild patrol]

That's a glitch not regular stuff

[trail shoal]

How do I sell weapons none of the traders seems to accept em

[vestal venture]

0.9.4. through GOG

[modest spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-neat-part-you-dont-invincible-gif-27194608

[final blaze]

So what

[paper arch]

you don't

[wild patrol]

By the way, swamp thing compared to the regular ak-105

It's simply a matter of either 5.56 or 5.45, since the damage modifier % of the ammo makes them have literally the same damage

[lyric notch]

black market mod

[trail shoal]

Ok so disassemble them

[wild patrol]

!bm

[hearty saffron]

@trail shoal
If you wish to play with buyable weapons, despite GAMMA being designed around not being able to buy weapons, then read this: #╭📖faq message

[modest spoke]

Ye just don't carry weapons you don't care about IMO

More space for the important loot (vodka)

[paper arch]

inb4 "why the 3 year old mod gives weird and buggy guns"

[elfin pine]

20x70 buck has 30 damage at 80m
so if lucky three shells to kill
low dispersion makes it good at long range shots

holds 100 damage until 35m

too bad there's not enough guns that use it

[wild patrol]

Man, people should read about the modpack before they play it

[modest spoke]

Don't be rude to newbies

[plush dove]

Ok so Dead City is no more
their fault for stop letting me do No Step Back

[wild patrol]

Too many times they ask why they can't buy or sell guns

I think that's explicitely stated on the modpack's description too

[paper arch]

all he said is that people should read about what they're installing

[fast pumice]

UN said no.

[wild patrol]

Well, we're in this chat to help them so it's all right

But still...

[paper arch]

it's pretty good today
there's nobody asking to remove radiation

[plush dove]

felt bad for killing Surgeon, he didn't have a weapon with him
so did Hog

[elfin pine]

23x75 buckshot is interesting, holds up the damage to 300m

[final blaze]

Was talking about just using it for mutants, shakal still kills in significantly less rounds when using hp on both

[lyric notch]

ah yes, the UN has control over the zone. when the ukranian military can barely hold checkpoints

[wild patrol]

what? lol why

[elfin pine]

but its also high base damage so that makes sense

[paper arch]

I wish I was joking
two weeks ago, there was a guy like that

[wild patrol]

Using an assault rifle to kill mutants? i mean, okay but Y tho

[paper arch]

556/545 HP is nutty

[wild patrol]

Sounds like a waste of rifle ammo parts...

[paper arch]

just buy from Butcher

[wild patrol]

Still, a lotta money

[final blaze]

Try it out sometime, i used to be against it too but then ive watched people use it and it slaps

[rancid ridge]

You can buy HP rounds from butcher fairly cheap

[wild patrol]

I usually buy hp from him to disassemble and turn into other ammos

[paper arch]

yeah when the competition is buckshot which costs literal pennies, you're not gonna win on cost

[final blaze]

I dont ever really struggle with money in gamma tbh, just sell some artis in fetch quests

[wild patrol]

Good ol' buckshot, can't defeat that one

[wild patrol]

I don't ever get that luck, sadly

[final blaze]

Just try it out sometime

[unique heath]

i use fast travel by the time I get to end game so cash is almost always low

no point buying much with cash anyway. I have everything I need.

[final blaze]

Low dmg falloff, great ballistics, high velocity high accuracy makes hitting easy, can pick em off from afar safely

[wild patrol]

I know artifact fetch quests yield a bit of bux if they're full condition, i just don't have any luck with them

[wild patrol]

For that i shrimply use my pistol with nearly recoilless hydra shock

[final blaze]

Thats fair but hydra does have falloff at range

[wild patrol]

A full auto USP-45 is nearly as good as the overwatch that got removed

17 bullets straight to the face of any ugly freak that appears

[final blaze]

Not saying hydra is bad at all, its great for mutant smoking

[wild patrol]

And occasionally mutants too

[final blaze]

But the shakal with suppressor and hp comes pretty close to doing the same damage as an unsuppressed .45 hydra ump against mutants

[unique heath]

just 1 shot all chimeras with the chimera hunter and its still cheaper than using 5.56/5.45 hp

[elfin pine]

okay, i suppose damage sponges between mutants and stalkers work a bit differently which changes everything i said before

eh whatever, weak points on mutants can be hit for 100hp at 100m distance with buckshots, if you don't get the damage multiplier from rear shots or eyes then falloff is bad after 50m

[unique heath]

despite using ks23 rounds

[final blaze]

Cost rarely matters for me beyond the early game

[slender niche]

KS caliber is just a fucking monster

[paper arch]

one pack of dogs and it's over for you

[lyric notch]

KS-23 my beloved

[final blaze]

yeah the chimera hunter sucks against many smaller enemies

[unique heath]

dogs? lmfao. they're loud as fuck

[slender niche]

You don't have a backup waraxe?

[lyric notch]

thats what the smg is for

[final blaze]

Have fun against psysuckers spamming you with phantoms

[slender niche]

I just ignore the phantoms and aim for the sucker

[final blaze]

Still a really fun gun to use

[paper arch]

assuming we are comparing chimera hunter vs. shakal in a vacuum
obviously, if you're using a chimera hunter, you SHOULD have a pistol or something for dogs/cats

[lyric notch]

the psy phantoms do damage? I've had so much psy resist for so long i stopped noticing lol

[unique heath]

still cheaper to use any 12g in game than waste rifle ammo parts on mutants

[slender niche]

Early game right now, yeah 4 or 5 bring you down

[lime pawn]

Aw man the MP9 doesnt fit in the knife slot? Laaame

[final blaze]

Just try it out sometime, i used to be against it too but then i tried it and its great

[paper arch]

it's ALWAYS cheaper to use buckshot against mutants
that's already been established

[unique heath]

they barely do damage, not even enough to be a real problem early game unless you're underground or in linear areas

[slender niche]

A lot of things don't fit in the knife slot but the fucking P90 of all things does

[lyric notch]

oof, pop those pills and grab a....fuck i forget the early game psy resist artifact

[twin pier]

Is there anyway to disable NVG in binoculare ? It so annoying when using those day-time

[slender niche]

I can't be too mad though 5.7 is based

[short oriole]

it's a hilariously overdesigned formula that's not worth looking into, veer's ammo stats mod has the ammo falloff stat be damage loss % at 100m out

[lime pawn]

I have the weird Russian 9x21 smg right now

The uhh SR1 I think?

[slender niche]

9x21 is very cost efficient

[lyric notch]

the one that only shoots ap?

[vestal venture]

Do you mean the binocular's own NVG?
Press M

[paper arch]

and my dumbass had hoped that it would be a simple, linear function

[lime pawn]

Mhm

[unique heath]

the shrimps fit in those slots?

[lyric notch]

I love that thing

[twin pier]

Yeaah, M does nothing sadly, tried N/M/L none of those work

[lime pawn]

It's fantastic as a panic button against goons I'll say that much

[elfin pine]

yeah i noticed, very inconsistent too where one meter difference makes damage go from 100 to 1

applying the good ol "just close the distance" should be enough for all players

[lime pawn]

Saved my ass in Agroprom while trying to take out the military and ran out of ap 5.56

[vestal venture]

Huh... By default it should be M. Did you rebind something?

[paper arch]

PDWs do

[unique heath]

the one guy I really want is the CAR15 with laser, but 64bit xray pip broke it for me

[twin pier]

Not at all, was checking in MCM keybind but no M is for PAW system for me

[paper arch]

so the P90, MP7 and SR2M

[final blaze]

The thing that makes small rifle hp good is that you dont have to close the distance, you can just pick em off from any range safely

[unique heath]

yeah i used the mp7 in those slots, i felt it was too OP to have 3 different main weapons so I stopped using it lol

[lime pawn]

Ooooh I gotta find me an MP7, that'd be a good mutant killer

[short oriole]

at the end of the day it's just one really long division so that damage never really becomes 0

[paper arch]

the people who put the short ks23 into the pistol slot reading this

[harsh fiber]

It wouldn't

[placid gust]

anyone know how to disable custom icons so they dont clip through my health bar because i disabled body health system

[lime pawn]

Tbh I might put away the M700, this AK 5C is accurate enough to be a sniper too

[plush dove]

height doesn't seem to help dampening Pseudogiant attack
Also they can just "aim" the damage when they stomp, meaning if they fight dogs you won't get hurt when close

[unique heath]

i mean if they want to (and likely need to) thats fiiine

[dense copper]

Ak5C my beloved

[vestal venture]

Huh... Then I don't know. I just followed this official guide

[lime pawn]

9x18 has an HP round doesnt it?

[dense copper]

Even though I'm using the Thales EF88

[short oriole]

most blatant issue being that there's no distance at which you deal 100% damage because it takes into account distance in meters with up to like 8 decimals

[placid gust]

if not nerf gun then why nerf gun shape?

[paper arch]

iirc, the direction of acceleration (up/down) is the factor

[harsh fiber]

It can convert to 9x18?

[sonic kelp]

we dont need 4 separate keys for walking .. .its just bloat

[sick grove]

it can

[paper arch]

for like week more

[lime pawn]

Ooh how is it treating you? I found a completely broken one but haven't fixed it up

[twin pier]

It because i have azerty it ",/?" for me

[elfin pine]

on-screen coordinates for status icons can be adjusted in the maingame.xml (or maingame_16.xml)

[vestal venture]

Speaking of AK5C... Where in the zone can one buy the tactical kit for it?

[harsh fiber]

Cool, though I doubt that it will be better than a regular 9x19 or shotgun

[twin pier]

Thanks tho mate

[sonic kelp]

i bought mine from Ashot

[dense copper]

There's a tactical kit for it?

[lime pawn]

I got one off Spore in the Clear Sky base

[short oriole]

and that the multiplier that results from it is also a like 10 decimal places scalar so damage at 99.99999999m is different than damage at 100m, sometimes significantly enough where it matters (exaggeration still but you know)

[sonic kelp]

ISG kit

[placid gust]

sounds like a lot of trial and error

[dense copper]

Haven't used it much yet! But so far it's pretty decent

[unique heath]

merc and freedom supply 2 I think?

[vestal venture]

Ashot did't have one... I am gonna check spore

[dusk chasm]

lol wut

[lime pawn]

I was at max goodwill with Spore so idk what trader level it becomes available

hey guys i was taking a look at the weapons and ammo excel sheet and i noticed that the Shrapnel shotgun shells are not considered True HP round, but the Barrikada AP slugs are. Are they switched by mistake or is this correct?

[unique heath]

contract in pripyat pays 10k roubles, it costs 8.8k to fast travel back to save cost on meds and ammo.

make your way to rostok, you'll make your money much faster

i delivered a package to rostok and thats the most ive done there ima go try it

[feral aspen]

so its just a mistake on the excel sheet and they are switched just on that stat, correct?

[vestal venture]

I got jumped by pack of chimeras in outskirts. When the inevitable last save load came I got to the high ground on top of ladder and wanted to shoot their confused asses... Instead I found out that chimeras can climb ladders too.

Or it was a bug

[placid gust]

i think it was a bug

[nova folio]

they can climb ladders not a bug

[vestal venture]

Well that's just wonderful!

[hoary flint]

They were always metro rips

[sick grove]

lurker is a watchman from metro, they also use the same attack patterns of the chimera

[timber flower]

How do I check my reputation with the different factions? Does the relations tab just show how different factions relate with each other and not reflect my current standing with them? I’m a little confused

[placid gust]

gamma has glocks right?

[elfin pine]

Mod the game yourself

If the game crashes when disabling them, I would recommend just going to play EFP.

But yeah, a bit silly if it can’t be safely disabled.

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

[honest spruce]

Why is that stupid? The whole point of Gamma is that you can't buy weapons—you have to find them yourself and then repair them. That's what makes Gamma what it is.

[elfin pine]

its stupid that the modpack isn't modular

that's what they meant

[nova folio]

GAMA

[honest spruce]

You can't have everything

[elfin pine]

there's a dozen forced upon mechanics the modpack has with no consideration for those who don't find those mechanics interesting

[red wyvern]

holy shit lore accurate spectre/spectre copy, gamba truly is the most immersive game ever

[elfin pine]

you just have to deal with it or do a mod conversion yourself

[sand smelt]

So? If it’s a ‘modular’ pack, you should be able to turn off aspects of the pack you do not like. Thats kinda like…the point.

[elfin pine]

which goes against the "modularity" claim

but

each and every person treats the word "modular" in a different way

[short oriole]

modularbros when they want to use a weather pack that's not atmos

you have people thinking that MCM is the "modular" part of GAMMA

I took it out of there a while ago but the model remains

[elfin pine]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/gamma-traders-sell-gunsoutfits < there was also this mod which just took gamma econ and changed it, but then a genius design choice was made of 12x price markup and editing that out is just as tedious as doing it for blackmarket

[short oriole]

eons ago you could

back when the shitpack was actually modular and below like ~150 mods

[elfin pine]

i'm yet to see a true vanilla econ mod that retains all the recipes, melter and other shit tucked into gamma econ even tho it has nothing to do with it

[short oriole]

the suit/helmet split was still like a year off

[elfin pine]

2022 basically

[red wyvern]

inflation hit stalker gamba too

[short oriole]

really early 2022

[elfin pine]

2023 already had the bloat and "hardcoded" elements

[wheat spindle]

Well, I'll take inflated prices over having to grind for guns. Thx for the link

[bleak pebble]

what was the setting that changed the max amount of companions?

[elfin pine]

mod config menu > custom companion squad size

[sand smelt]

Just use interactive PDA. It has a weapon/item buying system (like amazon)

[fossil stream]

what is going on? its like 2 sin members are constantly chasing me

[royal girder]

Well you'll still have to grind monney though.

[fossil stream]

i killed 2 of them atleast 5 times now, they seem to just find me

[royal girder]

Basically the same outcome.

[elfin pine]

let people do their own shit

its whatever

[wheat spindle]

Cool. Didn't ask

[elfin pine]

i could sit here and argue over the fact that it takes a few in-game hours to get a non-starter gun going just based off of green barrel drops

[elfin kiln]

why are you running ?

[elfin pine]

but its a waste of my and their time since they already have their mind made up

[sand smelt]

I use this to reduce tedium sometimes.

[elfin pine]

a common thing around here btw

[dense copper]

i am speed

[paper arch]

[sick grove]

nice use a Knot along with it

[short oriole]

i personally never had issues with the no gear trading gimmick because i never bought gear in the original games or in vanilla anomaly because why would i do so

yes anomaly did have some trader only weapons but they were dogshit and boring, like the wa2000

[elfin pine]

majority of players just want to sell stuff

[nova folio]

equip Generators on top of a knot

[paper arch]

cuz it was cheap af
you did like 4 quests and you had enough for an AK-74

[elfin pine]

trilogy games could be ran by just finding gear in stashes

[sick grove]

it was the CS assault suit at the beginning of CS and the exoskeleton for CoP for me

[paper arch]

but yeah, in the trilogy, especially SoC, it was literally better to not buy guns and use the unique ones

[short oriole]

that lasted half a firefight

[paper arch]

?

just buy cheapass rusak oil

[short oriole]

the original games were built with a loot and run philosophy

[elfin pine]

i remember the first time playing anomaly it took a few tries to get the repair system, i fixed like a 5.45 AK and then ran it through the entire game because anom ballistics

[orchid kiln]

9X39 pistol

[sick grove]

Big Ben

[elfin pine]

armor i don't even remember, you really didn't take a ton of damage in anomaly

[orchid kiln]

next to doctor freeman

[elfin pine]

and i suppose trilogy.. i rarely felt the need to get an exoskeleton in base games

[sick grove]

you have to drink vodka before hand to drive properly

[elfin pine]

even artefacts that buffed you were like... ehhh

just get the anti-rad stuff and go for it

[paper arch]

I tried the repair system to repair a MP-133, spent like 20k + 20 minutes to repair it, only to find one on sale for 25k
I never touched vanilla Anomaly repair shit ever again

[elfin pine]

buying to repair in CoP was the one thing that kept me from buying shit

spawn in > loop around the map for stashes > merc base raid > kitted out LR-300

[sick grove]

that and the exoskeleton forcing basically only a jog motion was a killjoy till CoP

[elfin pine]

maybe pay nimble for the cs suit and later get seva

[orchid kiln]

and I found a woodland exosuit and bought it, and never used another suit in that run, it sort becomes boring after a while

[elfin pine]

legit anomaly was the first game i watched a game mechanic guide on

not like collectible shit that is "fair" to use, but a gameplay mechanic guide......

and that was after playing CoP
i seen the repair price on mechanics, 80k to fix an AK? hell nah

[paper arch]

yeah it was ass

[short oriole]

anomaly is hilariously obtuse because it's a modding foundation to expand on

[elfin pine]

all guides basically screamed "you NEED the multitool"

and i guess i missed that part when trying to figure it out on my own

few savefile restarts and i got the hang of it

[short oriole]

you're presented with a shit ton of miscellaneous crap that's barely elaborated on and never explained so that you can integrate into it with mods

[elfin pine]

which helped later on with gamma because i was able to just hop in and remember the anomaly trainwreck (two years later)

[chrome kiln]

and we expect new players to just get it

[elfin pine]

you get told more information about shit in gamma

[short oriole]

gamma is omega streamlined because of the things i said

[chrome kiln]

i remember going from CoC to anomaly and almost having an aneurysm from the amount of item bloat

[short oriole]

and it has really well written tutorial popups too

[paper arch]

my favorite was the vanilla anomaly binos crafting recipe
it required the shit it requires now PLUS two Barska sights which cost like 5k each
and binos cost 2k

[elfin pine]

pda guide has a whole ass png for gun repair
on-screen tutorials
item highlights and whatnot

anomaly was just... raw

[final blaze]

Same to be honest, getting used to repairing gear in vanilla anomaly for the sole sake of : its way cheaper than buying : helped a lot with gamma later

[paper arch]

we expect them to read, maybe ask a question or two in here and then just play the game
which, imo, really isn't a tall order

[elfin pine]

unsurprisingly knowing the base game helps with a modpack

[short oriole]

nah dawg it was cheaper to buy new shit lmfao

[final blaze]

Depends on what item it was

[elfin pine]

i never used binocs in anomaly so i wouldn't know that

[short oriole]

repairing a busted early game gasmask costed you a fortune while sidorovich sold the same one in mint condition at like 10% the asking price for the repairs

[chrome kiln]

yeah but takes time, a lot micro managment compared to other games

[elfin pine]

even in trilogy it was something i rarely used

my eyes work just fine

gamma same shit

[final blaze]

Yeah the cheap stuff was better to just buy, but exos for example was a lot cheaper to just fix yourself

[paper arch]

[placid gust]

how good are yellow stashes?
because i got a yellow stash and it had a SKS and a kar98k both with 100% barrels and a scope upgrade kit

[fossil stream]

they only useful on ironman runs

[paper arch]

they give tools and good gear

[final blaze]

I never used the technician repair thing, i just fixed it up myself like you do in gamma

[elfin pine]

yellow stashes guarantee toolkits, the rest is pretty similar to white stashes

[placid gust]

cool

[elfin pine]

technicians were only good for buying upgrades

[final blaze]

Yeah

[placid gust]

ive only ever seen white and green

[elfin pine]

green = yellow

[paper arch]

green are yellow now

[sand smelt]

In the topic of Binoculars the target sensor thing is broken af, when was that added?

[elfin pine]

sometime ago with 3DSSG

[short oriole]

has been a feature since soc

[placid gust]

oh

im pretty sure last time i played gamma green were green

[round gazelle]

Colorblinds be like:

[paper arch]

when did you last play gamma?
2023?

[elfin pine]

green stashes were recolored between 0.9.0 and 0.9.1

[short oriole]

for real tho i can not fucking see the red ? circle that marks task enemies on the pda map

[placid gust]

idk a long while ago

[paper arch]

that fits then

[turbid rose]

Question about Ballistic Res and BR Class

If my gun only has BR 10 and the target has BR 11

Does it nullify all my damage?

Follow up, in the case that my wep has higher BR Class, does Ballistic Res reduce the damage by that %?

For example Ballistic Res of 50% will reduce my 100dmg to 50dmg?

[short oriole]

nononononono

[paper arch]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
do I even bother explaining with the update in a week

[round gazelle]

[nova folio]

i wanna say that GAMMA mechanics were pretty intuitive back when i started playing like 0.9.2 i think
i figured out almost everything on my own without any guides

[noble belfry]

is it normal that gamma takes a bunch of time to load?

[paper arch]

momo and onlin racing to give a wall of text

[frank maple]

im having trouble finding it, any1 know the hotkey for rifle lights?

[mystic bloom]

What's the difference between fast traveling and hiring a guide to fast travel

[short oriole]

oh my god nothing on that question post is even close to being somewhat right jesus that's a lot of stuff to clarify that i won't bother with

[nova folio]

entirely depends on your specs
Bunch of time is not very precise either

[agile wind]

What do we think of the blackmarket mod? It is still how I play the mopdpack to this day

[turbid rose]

I believe it's L

[sand smelt]

I think if you hover over your ballistic resistance (or maybe BR class) stat, it gives you the formula. Not sure if it works differently for enemies.

You CAN armor break enemies by shooting the same place multiple times though.

[noble belfry]

it's like 2 or 3 minutes

[frank maple]

its sadly not working. im still looking though

[nova folio]

probably fine for HDD...?

[noble belfry]

i'm on ssd

[short oriole]

flashlights on weapons are cosmetic and not functional

[frank maple]

ahhh

[turbid rose]

I tried hovering over my armor's stats... didnt show any explanation

[frank maple]

man there goes this handgun. time to reload

[nova folio]

can try installing #1467056699683770379 it could help

[topaz trellis]

How the hell do i get rid of all the damn documents in my inventory?!

[nova folio]

Lshift drops em

[paper arch]

you mark them as junk

[chrome kiln]

with guides your gear wont degrade like normal fast travel or something i dont know, something about simulating the journey

[topaz trellis]

doesn't work wont drop them.

[nova folio]

works on my machine

yea mark as junk then

[noble belfry]

ok thanks man

[elfin pine]

Ammo has AP, not BR

If ammo AP < BR then damage reduction to about.... 1.5HP? and enemy armor value decrease (meaning continious shots will decrease enemy armor value which then allows for full damage hits)
If ammo AP > BR then you deal full damage

Your weapon doesn't have BR Class either, it has its own damage stat which by default is hidden and presented to you as a post-calculation outcome of: gun actual damage x ammo damage multiplier / 1.5

Ballistic Resistance is a flat reduction to incoming damage, that's it
50% = 50% damage reduction of whatever hit you

What BR Class is about and does is this calculation for damage reduction on hit:

(armor/helmet ballistic res * 0.2 + br class amount * 1.3) + belt slot ballistic res + medical item ballistic res

so as an example 20% Ballistic Res x 0.2 + 39BRC x 1.3 = 55.9 damage reduction on non-pen hit

[topaz trellis]

does this just allow them to be dropped? or is it just "they get sold to whom ever?"

[mystic bloom]

Thanks, how bad is gear degradation though

[chrome kiln]

like 2-3% i dont remember

[nova folio]

"they get put in the bottom"
lshift should drop em by default

[mystic bloom]

That's it? Damn

[topaz trellis]

sadly they don't, its all the documents from the labs and streloks lab. wont allow me to drop em. gonna try the junk method.

Alright junk method works! finally!

[final blaze]

Look in mcm -> drop item -> keybind

I think it lets you drop literally anything, even lucifer, dont know why that mod is there, probably for debugging purposes

[short oriole]

nah it's just hover drop qol that just so happens to not have any sanity checks

read: half assed shit

[topaz trellis]

for a while there the game did not allow those things to be dropped from my inventory at all. they were locked and just "wasting space" but in the sense that they were an eye sore.

[final blaze]

Cause some random guy in his basement in novosibirsk made it

Story of gamma tbh

[nova folio]

i kinda wish there was a button to "Hide" items or some sort for more compact view
like who needs to see big ass 2x2 Hunter's kit

but dont feel like DYI 'ing inventory, inventory scripts are nightmare

yet...

if only this fuckass engine knew the difference between "equipped" and "inventory proper"

[final blaze]

I just mark it as junk

[nova folio]

i'd make a goddamn script for weightless equipped armor

Any way to fix a floating bugged pistol from a pistol display shelf that isnt even there anymore? Or is that just gonna be there forever now / only loading older save will fix it

Vasyans shitty script code from Novosibirsk basement strikes again damnit....

[nova folio]

1. reload older save
2. or use debug -> delete to remove it
3. also dont unequip attachments while gun is on a rack

[short oriole]

place more hideout furniture on top of it so that it doesn't stand out

[nova folio]

yes its halfbaked

[final blaze]

Lmao i love this

[red wyvern]

Mirage copies melting my armor because I made the mistake of bringing a fal and that fat fuck burer one shotting me. Not even worth the money with all the hp I spent. Fuck mutant hunting sidequests

[final blaze]

Oh yeah i think it bugged out cause i unequipped an attachment while it was on the rack. Didnt know that bugs it. Thanks for letting me know will avoid it

[final blaze]

Whole modpack is halfbaked smh

[red wyvern]

oh yeah also dont disassemble a gun on rack

[final blaze]

What happens? Game kaboom?

[remote fossil]

i think both sights and suppressors can bug it

[red wyvern]

nah just stuck

[final blaze]

Trying it now. Curious

Dissapointed. Game did not explode

[red wyvern]

dw game will explode naturally

[final blaze]

True

[final blaze]

Will try option 2, thanks

[wild patrol]

Spent nearly an hour crafting and organizing my stash and inventory, only for the game to randomly CTD when i finish

It didn't even do a crash save, this fucking game...

[nova folio]

i hope you were having fun so now you can have fun all over again

[final blaze]

Thats why you spam those quicksaves. Shit can blow up at any second

[tough lion]

[wild patrol]

Well at least now i know i can do a very broken build since i got a sin exo

[final blaze]

Oh yeah sin exo is goated, 6 slots

[turbid rose]

Okay, I sort of understand it now... sort of

So in the example you gave which got me 55.9 dmg reduc

How does it affect a gun with 600dmg and 8AP?

[wild patrol]

Make compass, full empty, empty a heart of the oasis, a flame and finally, a volat

The only thing that could possibly kill me is an electra

Since electric res will be piss low due to the scuba helmet

One miss step and i fry

[final blaze]

When enemies use it against you you get obliterated regardless of br or ballistic resist, when you use it against mutants they get obliterated, when you use it against anyone wearing any kind of armor at all it wont do much

[final blaze]

Shrimply use ears and eyes

[pallid comet]

how can i get rid of classic textures?? i disabled the mod and restarted the game many times but it still doesn't go away...

[wild patrol]

Did you clear shaders cache

[elfin pine]

did you make sure that the textures you're seeing ARE the mod?

[harsh ridge]

anyone else annoyed by the blocky artifacts around dark areas in the main menu background? anyone know how to fix it?

[pallid comet]

i did

[coarse stream]

Playing Gamma got me paranoid about quick saving. Every game I'll be hitting F5 every 5 minutes or so

[pallid comet]

i am very sure what i am seeing is the classic textures mod

[final blaze]

Rookie numbers

[elfin pine]

recording software issue between brighter and darker areas (i think it was Grok recording the thing himself, maybe bad obs settings or sumn)

ig you can always use mods that change the main menu screen

[elfin pine]

screenshot?

[harsh ridge]

someone has to teach the guy how to use obs well 🙏

[harsh ridge]

it doesn't really matter cause im hardly ever looking at the menu but thanks for the suggestion

How do i delete shit with debug?

[harsh ridge]

also is there any way to sharpen the game visuals without reshade?

need like a smidgens of sharpness in my life

[final blaze]

Nvm i figured it out, thanks

[elfin pine]

could try messing with sss settings in mod config menu

turn down settings that unsharpen it

classic textures is something along those lines:

[paper arch]

no

[placid gust]

thanks

[pallid comet]

yeah... when i tried dx8 for the first time i also got it with classic textures immediately, so i never saw how it looked without it, but man that looks so similar

[elfin pine]

if metal dink then shot didn't pen, continue using FMJ or AP to armor break

[paper arch]

it's just possible that a Nosorog deflected even something like your 556 AP rounds
