[amber spade]

Go back tomorrow

[stark lake]

The thing is that I played as merc a year ago and was spawned in dead city no problems. Now I don't understand if I'm allowed there XD

[elfin pine]

[hearty saffron]

@mild folio
An ongoing bug causes some stashes to spawn on random objects, anomalies or NPC's, resulting in the loss of any items they might've held.

To identify if the stash is indeed bugged you can do this:

1. Disable Areas above the PDA Map to remove white circles around locations
2. Right Click the stash marker on your PDA Map
3. Select Set Waypoint
4. Right Click the waypoint you just added
5. Select Waypoint Settings
6. Enable Show waypoints marker on HUD
7. Press OK
8. The on-screen waypoint will point towards the stash

[tough falcon]

so how do you enter dead city from yantar without helm

[raw hull]

You don't

[fast bay]

i think mercs are still in dead city currently

[amber spade]

Army warehouses?

[stark lake]

the are

[raw hull]

to go in and out you use army warehouse exit

[amber spade]

Ah fuck, didn't read

[blazing harbor]

DOES IT SKIP TIME??

[tough falcon]

i guess

[amber spade]

Yes.

[fickle night]

is someone playing with " npc cannot see through foliage" active ?

[neat ravine]

ks23 is better

[dapper epoch]

keyword is INSTALLED here

[blazing harbor]

holy shit, king crimson anomaly

[fast bay]

i do

[keen merlin]

I am

[quartz talon]

You can through the NW corner of Yantar map iirc

[fickle night]

it works fine? i wanna know before starting the game

[gilded sable]

Barrikada to the head

[clear orchid]

Guys is there ammo check keybind?

[hardy plinth]

i mean i installed it from that 27gb mod zip so i mean

[gloomy fossil]

aight damn thanks man

[worn sedge]

Check mod list under mags

[distant fossil]

its unnecessary as there is a new mod for foliage - the old one bricks NPC pathing and shouldnt be used

[raw hull]

ks23 is bait ISTG , 4 shells gets you killed as long as more than one heavy mutant appears

[keen merlin]

Yeah it does but they'll jiggle peek around the edges of the bushes so it's still hard to see them but at least they can't see you through the bushes

[neat ravine]

just aim better and kite lmao

[blazing harbor]

homie is just laid tf out

[neat ravine]

dont stand still and be bait, simple as

[quartz talon]

[raw hull]

yeah or I could just get something with better ammo capacity

[fickle night]

ok thank you!

[fresh quartz]

KS23 has a new upgrade kit, right?

[fickle night]

thank you

[gloomy fossil]

I actually would run out of disk space if I were to install it normally, 140gb+ if you don't manually babysitting the download folder

[clear orchid]

Ok thanks

[raw hull]

if ks23 was D or even C kit it'd be used way less

[neat ravine]

ks23 is c tier now

[fresh quartz]

It is though

[gloomy fossil]

KS23 ammo is expensive....

[fresh quartz]

[analog ingot]

New launcher when

[frail vine]

||looted my yellow in darkscape

[raw hull]

0.95 change? I'm on 0.94

[gloomy fossil]

Oh i mean the slug...

[barren scarab]

Noob

[hardy plinth]

to avoid issues make sure you have every mod that shows up in the command prompt log it will throw warnings for each failed mod i suggest you run it once fully go through the list of missing mods put them into the downloads folder and run again also i deleted my downlaods folder after install for same reason lol

[fresh quartz]

Anyway guys, did the KS23 get an upgrade kit?

[raw hull]

nothing beats a .45 hydrashock smg though

[fresh quartz]

I swear I saw one

[pallid oxide]

is there currently no way to install gamma?

[quartz talon]

KS-23 new kit is completely broken, turn it basically into tier C tier 1 shot sniper

[fresh quartz]

Really?

[vocal plover]

booked

borked*

[gloomy fossil]

was that near the small bridge ?, I got an emission right there

[quartz talon]

Yeah 6 rounds mag, silencer and ability to put a 3.5x scope

[fresh quartz]

I might need to try that out then

[raw hull]

okay that actually sounds pretty good

[viral raven]

[quartz talon]

With ap slugs it's broken early lol

[gloomy fossil]

yeah I will copypaste the log to clanker and get it to check for missing mods

[fresh quartz]

Pretty sure I have a KS23 in a stash somewhere, I'll need to repair it

[sonic kelp]

hii reCaptcha

[quartz talon]

But regular ks 23 with shell basically 1 shot everything

[fresh quartz]

Idk, I really like the AN-94 with the hyperburst for Stalkers and the Kiparis with the upgrade kit for killing mutants

[viral raven]

who are you

[quartz talon]

1 shot almost every mutant*

[elder bronze]

is the trading compuer craftable? I can see one being sold at the Yantar bunker

[gilded sable]

Shrapnel is busted against mutants of all sizes
Barrikada is busted against stalkers of all ranks

[viral raven]

Omg hii

[worn sedge]

“Who the fuck are you” -Adam Smasher

[gloomy fossil]

lmao

[gilded sable]

Hiii

[keen merlin]

I was expecting you to drive into a vortex and be flung out of existence

[viral raven]

How uuu

[gilded sable]

just woke up

[fresh quartz]

Barrikada can be crafted...what ammo would be best to buy and break down to make Barrikada for cheaper?

[small bobcat]

When the alcohol hits mid-drive

[raw hull]

how many shells of buck (ideally) does a chimera take again? I've had a very inconsistent experience with chimeras in particular

[viral raven]

Oh nice

[vocal plover]

usually all of them

[gilded sable]

Get PKM ammo via vodka barter in Yantar and disassemble it for red gunpowder

[raw hull]

Talking about KS23 buck here lol

[worn sedge]

Depends if you get them from the sides they die way quicker than head on

[quartz talon]

1 if you aim for the head (but it's not that easy oc lol)

[ionic skiff]

p!bar

[solar vigil]

⠀

[sonic kelp]

im val "get 1 cmd right challenge"

[gilded sable]

This man just killed a pseudodog
Really difficult task

[gloomy fossil]

I once got that kitted out 200K rubles RD939 9x39 rifle used by the ISG it's so good, it also come with a greanade launcher

[fresh quartz]

I might just stick with this AN-94 and Kiparis until I win. Whoops didn't mean to reply to u lol

[raw hull]

In outskirts and the northern regions I have gotten upto 4 chimeras at once

[gilded sable]

[viral raven]

I don't know you

[fallow crown]

Starting a fresh game with the makarov was a mistake holy shit

[fresh quartz]

WHEN CAN I GET THIS?! I need a Chimera hide

[tough falcon]

knife them all

[vocal plover]

that's always a mistake

[eager acorn]

im getting mixed signals today
half the people say ks 23 sucks
while the other says its godly

[gilded sable]

try getting a few bandits down and loot a better gun from them

[raw hull]

Try outskirts lol, usually a lot of chimeras there

[small bobcat]

Best way to learn ||and suffer|| to Gamma imho

[gloomy fossil]

I accidentally circumcised my fully upgraded KS23 is there anyway to revert that...?

[humble temple]

yo is there an artifact progression guide or nah

[raw hull]

At least that's where I got the most to spawn myself, alongside two prowlers and karliks

[tough falcon]

just try it for yourself on debug mode and see

[quartz talon]

Best I got was around 7-8 near the Outskirts theatre

[humble temple]

also how do we get the lvl 3 artifact blueprint

[fallen jay]

who thinks the KS23 sucks? what?

[gilded sable]

it's been really satisfying to use it when I first got my hands on it

[eager acorn]

ik its good
i just wonder why people say it suck

[fresh quartz]

Kiparis with the 50 round mag should be able to kill a Chimera in one mag, maybe. I usually open with some .357 though, so maybe it can't. But that 1 second reload is pretty good.

[gilded sable]

Small magazine size, yes
but with that amount of damage you rarely need more

[solid mason]

their aim sucks

[quartz talon]

What?

[eager acorn]

jupiter scientist

[raw hull]

okay, at that point the game engine probably confused a dog pack with like chimeras or something because that sounds insane

[solid mason]

ks-23 is a good gun

[viral raven]

First one - You have at the start
Second one - You buy from the Yantar ecologists
Third one - You buy from the Jupiter ecologists
Fourth one - 4% Drop, same as the Exo Recipe

[copper locust]

why when this was mentioned in mods-for-next-build before drop of 0.9.5 it was not included in this version?

[eager acorn]

check the pins here

[storm sluice]

ks23 = game over

[viral raven]

I usually disassemble ks23

[fresh quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[fallen jay]

and if youre lucky enough to get the ksg-23 then gg you win

[gilded sable]

Me when

[eager acorn]

whuh
its even in 094 iirc, tho just an older ver and in the disabled section

[gloomy fossil]

imagine this but with the full stock, Sidobitch scammed me, I thought that upgrade kit would lengthen the barrel

[viral raven]

It's not, I do the same with PKMs

[humble temple]

nothing on the pins thats why I asked

[eager acorn]

this then

[copper locust]

aha, so in reality it's there - but why it's disabled?

[gilded sable]

I mean you can put a scope & silencer on it

[humble temple]

tryna get a lvl 2 artifact setup but idk which ones to actually go for

[raw hull]

oh you just got the 510 mm barrel kit for the ks, yeah there's no reverting that except for a save re roll

[humble temple]

got myself a chimera hide + 5 free slots

[dapper epoch]

can i install gamma manually without having to wait for the new launcher ?

[viral raven]

No

[eager acorn]

!sheet theres a database linked there

fuck wrong

[gilded sable]

[eager acorn]

what the fuck was it

[humble temple]

😭

[raw hull]

!spreadsheet ?

[gloomy fossil]

why is that 510mm barrel kit even a option mane

[elfin pine]

the bot is dead

[eager acorn]

[gilded sable]

This one perhaps? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-uQhAhds1beLtSAdaO-eUdXqnvriIwfNjXrKbiWmklM/edit?gid=305817050#gid=305817050

[gilded sable]

Oflin sent me that

[gloomy fossil]

quite finicky

[stark lake]

which one is that?

[hearty saffron]

@humble temple Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[eager acorn]

fuck off

[raw hull]

I have no idea, lower weight I guess? Better CQB stuff? You usually want the drozd for that so the shorter barrel is redundant

[void kettle]

badass shotgun confirmed???

[pure coyote]

hey yall is the ability to download/install GAMMA still down? there hasnt been an update in 24hrs so just wanted to make sure

[fresh quartz]

U guys got a picture of an upgraded KS-23?

[lusty talon]

Chat am i bugging or didn't ibuprofen have like 5 uses?

[void kettle]

its chambered in the same round, so imma keep it

[eager acorn]

[raw hull]

I wish it was a horizontal double barrel instead of an over under double barrel even if that'd be insane lol, doomguy shotgun

[gilded sable]

fair enough

[vocal plover]

SStill Borked

[small bobcat]

Quite sure it was 3 the whole time

[hardy plinth]

i feel like debug is spoilers cause some of those snipers look sick af lol

[void kettle]

haha hey when the best thing i got is a gun that fires .338 lapua that doesnt even work ill take what i can get

[gloomy fossil]

that what I'm saying, I rather have a hydra shock or HP smg than a 25% reloading save

[viral raven]

:3 fuck pkm

[lusty talon]

then why am i getting the memory of it being 5 nah man i m having some sorta those moments where u think something was in a particular way but it was never actually that 😭

[solid mason]

fellas what faction we feeling like (its an illusion of choice im picking loner)

[eager acorn]

tweaking

[tough falcon]

ecologist

[hardy plinth]

yeah its just you have to make sure you have everything and it honestly takes awhile its only a few missing mods but you have to run the launcher a few times

[viral raven]

Mercs

[twilit bloom]

does spirit mean uses when he says "x swigs"?

[tough falcon]

someone has to study the anomalies... right?

[eager acorn]

gaslightijg one self

[gilded sable]

Cries in Zenith

[humble temple]

nvm it was tier3 not 2 lmao

[viral raven]

Ew

[hardy plinth]

to make sure you have all 578 mods

[humble temple]

k I guess I gotta find 5 lvl 3 artifacts to have with my chimera hide

[gloomy fossil]

without the missing mod i got like 20 Five Seven in the pistol section lol, and missing a lot of the gun, is Spatial Audio Rework working fine btw? can you tell the different shooting outdoor and indoor?

[eager acorn]

being poor up north is lowk pretty fun

[dapper epoch]

Ill wait and save myself the hassle , thanks

[eager acorn]

tho idk how the fuck im still poor

[small bobcat]

kinda disgusting to look at but I respect it

[eager acorn]

i cant even break 100k

[tough falcon]

bet everything you have at blackjack

[eager acorn]

i have actually

[small bobcat]

Best way to earn tbh

[eager acorn]

i won like 80k

[solid mason]

clean up a few squads and the only thing poor are the poor souls youre sending to the afterlife

[tough falcon]

only if you savescum

[gloomy fossil]

I wish you can go around and mug people at the expense of reputation point

[frail vine]

exactly like this but when i got of the car i got sucked off by a bloodsucker

[vocal plover]

it's called murder

[solid mason]

excellent use of free will

[sonic kelp]

why are you so mean to me

[eager acorn]

its just mutants and tid bits of kill quests

[gilded sable]

Call me weird but to me it looks HOT af

[eager acorn]

maybe i should move to outskirts

[gilded sable]

forgot to reply
fuh

[tough falcon]

buff the mutant and stalker pop. bring it from 0.5 to 1.8 and profit

[twilit bloom]

became a guide for an exo stalker, little does he know , ill never get him to his place and enjohy the benefits of an exo stalker muhahuauhauhahuahuahua

[ember yacht]

Is there a disassemble hotkey?

[gloomy fossil]

Nah I need that SEVA suit and Helmet you're wearing intact bro

[drifting crystal]

i almost always CTD when i die

[tough falcon]

and also be prepared to fight every moment of your life

[drifting crystal]

any way to fix that?

[quartz talon]

It was some time ago maybe I had tweaked ZCP settings instead of the gamma vanilla ones. But in my memory it was on vanilla Gamma, making the whole thing surreal

[eager acorn]

stalker are at 0.8, mutants at 0.5

[brave goblet]

@G.A.M.M.A. Announcements The backend entered in maintenance phase and GAMMA cannot be installed at the moment.
I want to play gamma!!!!

[gloomy fossil]

there is a working mod for that on moddb, Hover Disassemble or something, you can use config the Auto Looter tho

[solid mason]

https://tenor.com/view/gorgeous-gif-20640589

[tough falcon]

too low

[eager acorn]

higher than 1.0 is laggy

[vocal plover]

you got the wrong guy. I'm wearing two plastic sheets tied together with rrope.

[ember yacht]

thank you

[tough falcon]

fair then

[eager acorn]

ill try maybe

ill prob keep mutants low tho, to even it out

[solid mason]

this is what I do

[gloomy fossil]

as long as it got more carrying capacity than mine, I'm peeling it off your rotting corpse

[tough falcon]

what faction are you on

[static pecan]

I was thinking clear sky now that we get to slaughter duty

[solid mason]

depends on how you like it tho

[void kettle]

can i combine parts that are low durability to make them big durability by chance?

[frail vine]

https://klipy.com/gifs/laptop-smoking--k01KRDXC4EANFDRAGB08FDPKESV

[eager acorn]

i like my blood sucked

[hardy plinth]

havent shot yet been putting my game settings back to what they where before i deleted my modpack and turning off debug also fuck i forgot my game settings my game runs like buns rn i had it at like damn near the lowest

[gloomy fossil]

the winning one

[solid mason]

hmmm

[tough falcon]

so ecologist

[quartz talon]

This is the drozd it can have a silencer too, fun gun to pretend your the slavic Aton Chigurh
In my memory it can go in the melee slot but I don't remember if it is still a thing

[eager acorn]

[blazing harbor]

what do you say i do with him?

[static pecan]

I might actually go merc this playthrough for all the new voicelines

[tough falcon]

knife him don't waste bullets

[violet forge]

Hello, how can i get my geiger counter to look like this? Thank you in advance

[gloomy fossil]

crack him

[frail vine]

can we kill him guys
as a precaution?

[blazing harbor]

its .45 i barely use it

[eager acorn]

change the model and script of the geiger counter, idk

geiger counter is supposed to detect rads, not anomalies

[frail vine]

its not a giegar counter
its the thing u get for anomolous study

[gloomy fossil]

wait if it can go in the melee slot then it's worth it lol

my backup weapon is an anti aircraft caliber

[solid mason]

giegar counter but its an iPhone 4 se

[blazing harbor]

snuff film for yall

[tough falcon]

third slot it's for desert eagle

[viral raven]

Idk who you are though

[royal girder]

It didn't go in 0.9.4 but maybe it got changed (i don't think so though)

[hardy plinth]

it shows up fine

[quartz talon]

Maybe it has been nerf tho
But it's not a ks23 upgrade or special kit it is considered as a separate weapon by the game with its own kit to add the silencer iirc

[tough falcon]

the second shot was personal

[blazing harbor]

yup

[viral raven]

I used to know one Val, but they were very mean to me

[gloomy fossil]

I always quick melee them to death

[tough falcon]

unless i'ts monolith

[solid mason]

only val I know is the Asval cause im a shooter

[blazing harbor]

i wonder why that is

[shut rain]

OK, am I somewhat misunderstanding the suit patch system? I've got a clear sky suit on with the patch on and have been hanging out in Rostok just fine, no aggro from any Duty bros

[solid mason]

good thing I cant read

[gloomy fossil]

I was the Monolithian

[shut rain]

Or is it a personal goodwill thing

[safe tree]

what faction are you

[blazing harbor]

this was someone's son lmao

[devout trellis]

I wish I could download the new version already

[shut rain]

Loner

[tidal robin]

Когда сделают скачивание доступным?

[hardy plinth]

yeah its working fine

[lusty talon]

!tools

[hearty saffron]

@lusty talon
To get a yellow stash, finish 7 tasks, then keep doing things that will get you stash coordinates (e.g. more tasks, opening PDAs, looting bodies). You get a 50% chance of receiving a yellow stash each time. This resets upon finding a yellow stash - then you need to do 7 more tasks, and look for more stash coordinates afterwards.
⠀

[gloomy fossil]

nice

[safe tree]

maybe ur disguise is so shit that they see u are not a cs member

[twilit carbon]

Can someone wake me up when new launcher releases?

[gloomy fossil]

alsmot every game stopped being fun when you feel the need to pull out the spreadsheet, just play it until you get it, discovering something in-game is way more fun

[royal girder]

I think if you disguise as one of their enemy when being allied they see through your disguise.

[sonic kelp]

IT'S ME

[tidal robin]

Is there any information about when download access will be restored?

[solid mason]

im gonna do a no hud run when I get it loaded up

[lofty egret]

do mercs become friendly to you as a loner after BS even with negative rep?

[blazing harbor]

god damn

[jaunty rapids]

yup

[royal girder]

They didn't for me so no.

[sonic kelp]

gamma could be a bit more intuitive about how it works but HOLY TRUTH NUKE

[shut rain]

Very interesting, and super handy given that I like this armour and am already set up in Rostok. Cheers

[tough falcon]

sounds like you need a loan from bank to kill him

[sonic kelp]

mercs and loners only sign a ceasefire during a mercenary playthrough

[viral raven]

You're the evil one?

[deft rock]

Hi. Is it possible to play GOG version of GAMMA throw GEforceNOW?

[sonic kelp]

no i'm the good one

[solid mason]

thats me, sorry

[fast pumice]

This is incorrect. The merc/loner alliance only happens as a Merc character.

[lofty egret]

gotcha thanks

[gloomy fossil]

the disguise system was kinda funny, I was a and disguise as an and basically kipnapped Hip and recruit her into the rank of funny evil rock

[viral raven]

Hmm... Last time I saw Val they were very mean to me

[viral raven]

Evil?

[fast pumice]

I wonder if I should collect the companions as ISG.

[sonic kelp]

not that far off from canon considering the C-Con agents (even though they're not monolith usually but shhh)

[void kettle]

i handed in all my tasks i did and got 25k in total :0

[cinder coral]

can we install the game rn?

[tulip flume]

I find the ingame tips when you first start (how to heal, how to repair armor, weapons, esp. info about barrel health etc.) is pretty sufficient to get started, what do you feel like is too unintuitive?

[void kettle]

now i can afford ammo for my smg

[sonic kelp]

!install

[hearty saffron]

@cinder coral

YOU CANNOT INSTALL OR UPDATE GAMMA AT THIS TIME

FOLLOW #📢announcements FOR UPDATES REGARDING ANY ONGOING SITUATION

[fast pumice]

Can't get the Sin guy unfortunately because no quest.

[sonic kelp]

we should kill them

[cinder coral]

been waiting for like 3 weeks i NEED TO SHOOT SOME MUTANTS

[simple wind]

"YOU. INFIDEL WOMAN. JOIN MY CAUSE- I MEAN MY JOURNEY."
"Okay. Weird. Well, at least you're better than those Freedomers I used to run with. Sure."

[gloomy fossil]

the in-game "spreadsheets" is okay tho, it was there because dev think it would be needed to have the intended fun, the outside tier list and meta are otherwise

[tulip flume]

Install was disabled like yesterday

[neat gust]

dayum still no launcher

[fast pumice]

Tier lists and meta are dumb.

[sonic kelp]

ingame tutorials that are basically manuals aren't great compared to other options imo
especially considering the average gamma player's.............. aversion to reading

[viral raven]

Kill the val that was mean to their friend?

[fast pumice]

Unfortunately y'all missed your chance.

[sonic kelp]

yes

[viral raven]

Hmmm

[tough falcon]

that's why i watch venoxium videos. reading? no thanks

[cinder coral]

damn, any other recomendations to play while waiting?

[fast pumice]

We had like three days of a working launcher.

[devout trellis]

Is it possible to play gamma without a monitor and eyes and ears and legs and arms?

[blazing harbor]

well damn

[hardy plinth]

im going to laugh everytime i see this

[sonic kelp]

vanilla anomaly is always there, so are the trilogies (go play them NOW they're awesome)

[tulip flume]

To be fair my first save on 0.9.5 my Fanatic intro quest bugged out and the Jellyfish did not even spawn

[gloomy fossil]

true I said that and I did that

[viral raven]

Oh yeah their nick is @sonic kelp

[sonic kelp]

who is that

[tulip flume]

would believe that a comprehensive tutorial would be too difficult to implement in any sensible way

[devout trellis]

Clear sky sucks ass I'm sorry

[hardy plinth]

i did that but coop lol

[solid mason]

it needs to get larger everytime the command is used

[hushed wraith]

if i want something to play until the update, what faction would you recommend for a quick campaign?

[viral raven]

The evil val

[cinder coral]

i already played all of them and some mods like radiophobia

[void kettle]

what handbooks do y0ou guys recommend to buy?

[sonic kelp]

play them again

[void kettle]

i havent bought any yet

[hardy plinth]

well no because i just installed the game is the reason it should be can be installed if you try hard enough lol

[fast pumice]

Tech and backpacks, the upgrades aren't as important.

[simple wind]

And all of the loners at the Village clapped. Sidorovich actually stood up, even.

[solid mason]

uh oh..

[tulip flume]

Escape From Pripyat is apparently pretty good, but focuses more on human vs human and gunplay stuff, but its also a big Stalker anomaly modpack

[blazing harbor]

sold for 2k rubles to dushman. wont even get me 120 rounds of 9x19

[tough falcon]

i mean i was hyped too for them but after 1 hour i said: yeah no i don't think i'm gonna play cs anymore ty

[devout trellis]

The franchise peaked at SoC, anyone who says otherwise is nostalgia blind or franchise fanatical

[cinder coral]

THANK YOU

[solid mason]

I remember not liking efp tbf that was like 4 years ago

shit maybe 5

[void kettle]

alright i just bought and read sruvival vol 1 and electronics vol 1

[blazing harbor]

"focuses on human v human" my ass, important characters are more tanky than an M1A2 Abrams

[hardy plinth]

i tried that one i like eft but that shit was buns

[sonic kelp]

the fanatic quest could really do some overhauling, it does an okay-ish? job at giving the player an idea of the core gameplay loop; do jobs, get artefacts, make bank. but it still leaves a bunch of things unexplained
you could probably make a whole tutorial questline using PANDA but it'd take some work im not willing to put in rn

[simple wind]

Is EFP even anything like EFT or did they just want a clever sounding name?

[solid mason]

clever name

[blazing harbor]

the only thing remotely close is that they use mags and that their combat is just "click heads"

[unique heath]

It started as a clever name with tacticool weapons

[tough falcon]

my biggest fear is that they will do something one day that doesn't allow you to have him as permanent slave

[tulip flume]

Just parroting what I heard from Venoxium on youtube, I only play vanilla and Gamma personally so no hands on experience sadly

[sonic kelp]

no step back/barrier defense trigger where if you leave the cordon the quest immediately fails

[gloomy fossil]

And then Fanatic say you're truly a Stalker of Grok's Automated Modular Modpack for Anomaly

[blazing harbor]

if you use companions you're likely a chud anyway.

[sonic kelp]

could be worse
could be overcooked
global war

[hardy plinth]

bro im washed i just died to a rookie renegade (shot to the head) also how the fuck am i surviving unarmored head shots

[tulip flume]

Sure, although I just restarted as Clear Sky and since you meed the egg in old church immediately you also get into artifact hunting basically immediatelly, not to mention Cold giving you missions for clearing camps right away as well

[simple wind]

The real Grok Anomaly was actually just the Modular Modpack we Automated along the way

[storm sluice]

companions is that like summoning in fromsoft games

[bronze smelt]

How do i get more activity in the zone? It feels kinda empty.. i kinda want more stalkers and mutants

[gloomy fossil]

I only recruited Hip because she was cute and she still own me 40 snork fingers

[devout trellis]

I use companions because I'm pisspants ecolog in Ironman

[unique heath]

cant tell the difference. go do your job, you life haver

[void kettle]

are pdas only good for materials?

[unique heath]

oh no... theyre good for money my G. And stashes

[gloomy fossil]

cannon egg heads tho

[dense copper]

Honestly kinda fucked up the PP-2000 isn't one-handed

[bronze smelt]

Read them for stashes
Sell for money

[sonic kelp]

!companions

[hearty saffron]

@storm sluice
To recruit random stalkers as companions:

1. Talk to the leader of the squad.
2. The size of the squad must be within your limit (by default you can't have more than one companion at the time).
3. Your rank value must be at least 1.5 times higher than that of the squad leader.
4. Squad leader must consider you friendly (depends on your rank, reputation, faction relations and more).

Requirements 3 and 4 don't apply to paid companions, but they are rarer overall and can only be found among Loners, Bandits, Mercenaries and Freedom.
If you wish to be able to recruit more stalkers, in-game, open Mod Configuration Menu > Custom Companion Squad Size, and drag the sliders found within to the right.

[blazing harbor]

what in the larp

[tough falcon]

that's exaclty the point. spending 10 hours to get basic and adv tools doesn't sound like a fun time to me. but you do you

[void kettle]

so what do i do with em....

[unique heath]

and yet you're on GAMMA. Make up your mind

[storm sluice]

so strelok used summons to get to cnpp kek get gud

[bronze smelt]

please help yall

[void kettle]

ohhhh ok ok

can i get electronics from other stuff? and what stuff

[simple wind]

Spending 10 hrs to get basic and adv sounds fun as fuck. The hobo phase is the best part.

[tough falcon]

because it's a game that can be heavily modulated for my likings. yes. i can choose to struggle or just to be a spectator. and in the middle there are a lot of option to choose from

[sonic kelp]

its literally This, The Mod https://tenor.com/view/ultimate-showdown-lemon-demon-superman-black-knight-power-rangers-gif-10659334377609645177

holy peak

[unkempt relic]

anyone have any idea when we're gonna be able to install? really want to try gamma

[tulip flume]

Depends on what you view the ideal length of a playthrough, which is completely subjective, just like using companions, literally same discussion as in every Dark Souls ever made. You do you, and have fun, but your fun is not the same as someone elses fun yk

[shut rain]

Now there's some early newgrounds lore

[sonic kelp]

go to ZCP and increase spawns, or go into NORMAL settings > alife and reduce exclusion radius

[blazing harbor]

you can occasionally find things but you can disassemble things like broken detectors, flashlights etc to get parts for crafting. and then you craft

[devout trellis]

Just give Hip her shitgun and she'll hook you up with basic tools

[unique heath]

yeah but you talking shit about people enjoying the struggle is just hilarious because you're in a modpack because people wanted the extra pain

[tough falcon]

yeah that's exactly the point. you can do a knife only run if it makes you happy

[tough falcon]

where did i talk shit?

[storm sluice]

just get advanced kit from your first yellow stash in agroprom its not hard

[void kettle]

the pdas have so much lore in em

[solid mason]

stalker but with swords

[unique heath]

oh woops you didnt my bad

[devout trellis]

Just press F7 and spawn yourself expert tools it's not that harddd

[blazing harbor]

im doing a medium merc no fast travel run and im having a blast. gonna head to great swamps to buy a swamp thing kit when i get home in a couple hours

[shut rain]

Or Stocker, the supermarket shelf sim

[unique heath]

I DID

[tulip flume]

Tbh saying shit like using companions is for chuds is way more aggressive than him saying he likes to progress fast by using all the mechanics the game offers, no need to argue either way, just two diff playstyles

[solid mason]

this sounds based

[twilit bloom]

I filpped the lever in miracle machine and some guy strated saying some shit in russian what do i do

[blazing harbor]

it is, and i got a mp5 and a kimber 1911.

I think ill join you in the no FT

[cosmic crown]

after the 0.9.5 update, the gun idle is slightly more tilted instead of horizontally aligned.
does anyone know which mod is responsible?

[unique heath]

ye i know, its just STALKER things to do the whole ballcrushing competition to who has it harder and therefore better in the game.

[tough falcon]

i don't see the point anyway. talking shit won't convince me or you to play differently. also it's a single player game, there is no competition. no point really

[void kettle]

WAIT I HAVE A TYPE D CLEANING KIT

[tulip flume]

only reason I don't use fast travel is that it costs rubles

[arctic lichen]

On the most realist note, how many people actually run on hardest difficulty? I've been finding myself not entirely enjoying the grind and overly difficult encounters early game, I have been winning and it feels nice but I am struggling doing almost anything because of the amount of exofellas with what feels like belt fed machine guns

[devout trellis]

How did you even get 095 to work?

[cosmic crown]

downloaded before backend maintainance

[unique heath]

oh come on. Yes and is fun

[blazing harbor]

the barrel is at 59%

Just let it play out and then keep going. Beware the horror that awaits in the last room. Rush that fuckers ass

even tourist difficulty is plenty hard

[void kettle]

hahaha nah nah im just happy i found something good for once

[tender lark]

so moddb say no to my gamma expirience?

[blazing harbor]

toxicity isn't fun. and i say that as i am now 30+ years old and have got 2 perma ban account on league of legends. once you step out of that zone you will really start to enjoy things better

[ruby ore]

Damn where did you find it?

[void kettle]

i have no idea its just in my inventory

[arctic lichen]

I've always played on the hardest, some play through are decent others feel like I'm clocking in for the ball crushing factory

[void kettle]

i think it was a quest reward

[dusk chasm]

need to restart my run coz i removed some mods that "might" be causing my game to crash

[devout trellis]

They saw that atrocious mercenary cosplay from the news of the guy being arrested and blamed GAMMA for it

[pulsar cliff]

Not gonna be an issue then. You will have to run from/fight a giant too but there should be a save point just before that starts so gl

[gloomy fossil]

going to the 9-12 at the ball crushing factory in the evil ass rape building...

[tender lark]

its yes or no?

[ruby ore]

Nvm i mistook it for restoration kit, cleaning kit is availiable from beginning, but thanks

Ive never been banned due to that kind of behavior

This is very far from toxicity.

I dont have it but Ive used it and looks cool

Mercs were one of my Fav runs. Very convenient location actually...

my farthest so far was reaching jupiter we will get there

[brittle river]

hey guys i havent been keeping up with gamma at all just wondering do i do the launcher update and still good to play?

[quaint wind]

i guess they put laser sight and dovetail rail to make it tactcal with zenit stock

[simple wind]

Would've been if I could move 5 feet before getting killed myself from their AOE

[devout trellis]

I'm still trying to make it work as ecologist, first death I lost to an ISG member with a FAL camping a corner like some rainbow six siege player, second death was a chimera jumpscare after loading into rostok

how about using 9x21

[pulsar cliff]

@tough falconI installed on 8.5 maybe 1 hour after Grok disabled the access to servers and now my game is borked and I need to wait. Can't even play 094

[twilit bloom]

LMAO

[simple wind]

That would require moving more than the 5ft death trap before the first one stomps and the 2nd follows up with another stomp 😭 😭

[dusk chasm]

btw
new running sounds and gun sounds are amazing this patch

[gloomy fossil]

it called the Dead City for a reason no? lmao

[bold valley]

You have the blessing of the Chairman of the Central Committee

[simple wind]

You have too much faith in my footsies

[devout trellis]

9x21 is so dogshit imo, it would glow if it was given HP

[steel canopy]

Draw pickup item names keeps itself disabled. Ill enable it but the change doesnt take effect. This prevents me from using dot marks. Any work arounds?

[quasi wave]

Question about random stashes.
What happens to items I did not pick up from a random stash? Do the items despawn? Does not taking everything a stash prevent that stash for being selected again for a random drop?

[dusk chasm]

im using artigrok so 9x21 has fmj and hp

[unique heath]

stuff gets added on top, things are never deleted

[gloomy fossil]

wait ISG is hostile to ecolog?

[devout trellis]

WHAT, GIVE IT HERE

[unique heath]

ISG is hostile to everyone unless you play as ISG

[quartz oasis]

Am can someone tell me what is this. It started popin up when I entered duty base

[unique heath]

then ISG becomes allies with mercs

[devout trellis]

Yea they blow you to pieces with their squads of 5 masters

is it possible to download previous version of GAMMA like 0.9.4?

Foolish of you to think I got 095 in time, but thanks

GoG version is? but it's .9.4 ?

[solid mason]

I haven't really played since 0.9.3

ISG are meanies, in pripyat I screamed when I see the Fuji ISG teleport working... there were even a squad of Sin on my ass as well

[keen sedge]

Just run out the window🙄

[hardy plinth]

the weapon rebalance was to make enemies bullet sponge less right?

[restive sentinel]

yup

[cold prawn]

Hey all, quick question. Is this loot indicator a setting or an add-on mod? (Playing on GoG)

[keen sedge]

No?

[devout trellis]

Still less cancer than Sin somehow

[restive sentinel]

wait, GOG is already 0.9.5?

[still basin]

Got an issue with the cooking items

Tooltip stays after closing it/use

[keen sedge]

Enemies arent crazy spongy depending on the ammo used

[burnt dove]

its a mod

[unique heath]

thats now part of .9.5.

Not on .9.4, that still has performance issues iirc

yeah... 3 AP 9x39 to the head only managed to stagger them... apparently you gotta use HP and Hydrashock, but damn they do have one that is kitted out with exosuits... they always kill me with 3-4 shots with their rusty rilfes like it's Tarkov

[cold spruce]

for some reason i only have 572 and not 578, do i have to reinstall again

am i supposed to go from there cuz i got HEAPS of rads when i walked thru there

[devout trellis]

It's so dumb, "Just use HP" when their armor has like 30 armor class

[lofty ridge]

Did you recently loot a stash there but you are neutral with Bandits?

[blazing harbor]

Next time they push you, pop their melons. Should teach them to stop fucking around

[odd lance]

same issue playing as bandit is there any fix?

[eager acorn]

disable alife plus prob

[neat gust]

why have my strongest companions been 2 random bum fuck rookies from rookie village

[gloomy fossil]

that pissed me off so much, Sin dudes stand and watch me getting molested by 3 drawf controllers little guys in the Red Forest, while in the lore and dialouges they're worshiping and looking up to as their superiors

[twilit bloom]

is this guy unkillable here or is my damage just.. small towards him..

[eager loom]

unsure but there was a fix for it, lemme check quickly

[severe folio]

you must wait for the stars align and sacrifice a lamb to properly install stalker gamma

[quaint wind]

he killable, just your ammo is shit to him

[blazing harbor]

Pseudogiants are tanks, simply put

[odd lance]

not issue if i change faction though then events work as intended i guess

[cold spruce]

atp this is the download method

[burnt dove]

its really tanky, try using grenades

[tough falcon]

yeah for me it's the opposite when i play as sin.i wait for them or other unlucky people to stumble upon chimeras and wait for her to kill some to get some free loot.

[unique heath]

i never attempt to waste ammo on this guy. I just ran past him to the left lol

[static pecan]

Still no ETA on when the backend will be fixed?

[devout trellis]

Not good, he'll stomp them towards you

[gloomy fossil]

yeah, and throwing crackers is expensive... so I usually just run away

How did the serves get fucked so badly it's lasting more than 24 hours

[tough falcon]

they asking for money

gib them

[blazing harbor]

So, @twilit bloom if you didn’t know already, burgers can set up a field and stop bullets if you keep shooting them. Indicates by them putting their hands up and air warping. Wait for them to put their hands down and continue shooting them

[quaint wind]

kill them

[bronze smelt]

Guys whats the difference between disassemble and field strip?

[hardy plinth]

i mean as long as you run md5 and and have all the mods locally using the pack its no different then downloading it regularly its just extra steps

[devout trellis]

I think I'll give it a try, thanks doto

[eager loom]

with friendly factions you can't always do that :3

[blazing harbor]

A .223 to the brain should fix that nicely

[elfin pine]

i know of the issue, idk what to change to fix it

[tough falcon]

disassemble breaks the gun entirely giving you barrel too. strip doesn'ìt

[twilit bloom]

realized when i finally ran out hp and was using fmj

[gloomy fossil]

why does that sounds like bullying lmao

[quaint wind]

if i can grind it, i don't mind lose it

[unique heath]

disassmble = components = gun gone* except component and MAYBE barrel. Field strip = remove components, gun is still intact

[eager loom]

you're welcome friendo

[hardy plinth]

they are mostly duplicates make sure you download the pack first from announcements here #📢announcements message

[blazing harbor]

The launcher is basically one big BAT file placed at the root of modorganizer that downloads everything you need straight to your MO2 mod folder and enables what needs to be enabled

It also makes for an easier update, just follow instruction and click update and you’re good. It’s just that these last two months were a little bumpy

[compact crystal]

do you guys have enemies spawn very close to you now it wasnt a thing before

[gray estuary]

i bought thermal scope but what key man cant find it XD

[fast pumice]

= iirc.

[tough falcon]

happened to me in army wharehouse. i was minding my own and 2 freedomers spawned in front of me

[hardy plinth]

yup which is why if you have everything locally its functionally the exact same install

well mostly because of the md5 check though

[eager loom]

I think it might be this consequence since someone was struggling with it and they turned this off and the guys fucked off

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

[sick warren]

the radio messages are cool, but recently they added extra - where each time some squad moves - theres an announcement. ecologists went in a tunnel, bandits moved into a camp. its rather spammy now. how do i disable JUST THOSE movement radio announcements?

Ive tried disabling zone events, faction events, but they wont stop

[elfin pine]

people already made a stink in the past about Grok having his name on the modpack as some sort of "i did it all", they also made a stink about him repacking mods early on so that's why the launcher exists

it'll continue to pull from moddb and github while crediting them on the modlist and github because no one complains

why did the launcher ddos moddb? well yes, the modpack shouldn't really be used for 1-10k people downloading at around the same time for days but it is and that won't change

if there was a repack or torrent of the entire modpack then Grok wouldn't be protecting modders ip, some of which are against being part of repacks or torrents
it'd also create a scenario of outdated packs floating about

[quaint wind]

that is Alife plus

[fast pumice]

What's all bound to shift and f by default? Something is conflicting and stopping me from looting while prone.

[blazing harbor]

Sometimes grok gives us the entire mod archive to use, but we saw how that ended up last time lol

[gray estuary]

nah, i tried it

[unique heath]

I wonder how sustainable the GAMMA launcher is for modding in general. Sounds like a problem waiting to pop again

[fast pumice]

I looked in conflicts and changed those, but no dice.

[hardy plinth]

i mean as long as the launcher can check whats there and isnt it shouldnt be a problem

[storm sluice]

"the people are ........"

[kindred grail]

Yoooo so how would yall rank factions in terms of difficulty rn?

[fast pumice]

I've done it before to fix it during 0.9.4 but can't remember what it was.

[last haven]

Dont start launcher. Help plz

[fast pumice]

Wait...ammo check? Was that it?

[sick warren]

how to disable the new radio messages that announce, oh ecologists went into a tunnel, oh the bandits made a camp? its too much spam

[unique heath]

the less friends they have, the harder it is. ez

[blazing harbor]

No, that’s not what I was referring to

Last time grok gave us the whole mod folder, we crashed both moddb, mediafire and a third website

[compact crystal]

yeah it needs some tweaking they spawn very close out of nowhere

[distant fossil]

we need to make this BIGGER

[unique heath]

go to alife+ MCM and lower PDA message chance for all pages to 0 or less than current

[tough falcon]

ecologist is the easier of course. followed by loners, then i'd say clear sky, then duty, then merc, then freedom. (just my opinion and just based on difficulty). if we are talking about difficulty/gain proportions it's a whole different story

[hardy plinth]

media fire is down lol gofile still works though

[quaint wind]

it is already tweak but i guess need more time and wait

[sick warren]

dont want to disable radio, just the new movement announcements, those are too spammy, i cant find which radio section those are

[hardy plinth]

and add a unless... since it is still possible

[unique heath]

i never said radio. i said Alife+

[elfin pine]

the downloads folder existed for longer, primarily russian playerbase uses it because they get blocked from like 90% of the internet

it exists as means to download archives in times of panic rather than a stable way to get all mods

[visual mirage]

How is freedom harder than everyone else?

[compact crystal]

i also had like burers and bloodsuckers spawn in rostok when i wake up then disappear immediately

[blazing harbor]

Yeah, and we still crashed a couple servers

[tough falcon]

because their quests are ass. but that's just my opinion

[sonic kelp]

give it a big ol red circle and arrow pointing to it

[elfin pine]

well that's partly on y'all and partly on the method of the launcher grabbing stuff

[blazing harbor]

I’m Russian, I can download just fine, but some people don’t get the privilege

[visual mirage]

I like freedom but it is lame that they are friends with everyone

[quaint wind]

that is normal

[sonic kelp]

because you can't kill mercs

[gray estuary]

my mark switch keys doesnt work on my thermal. pressed = while zooming aint nun happenin

[elfin pine]

moddb up their security so we have to go around it, that ended crashing their servers
one way to make it not so is to go back to the old method which then will crash their site lmao

you can't win, you can only do as much as you can

[tough falcon]

go to rostok if you want some action

[final sapphire]

Amazingly explained

[eager acorn]

*only action

[fast pumice]

Because their quests fucking suck.

[silver badge]

че за дела ребят, установил всё как нужно, дважды проапдейтил, а количество модов все равно 0

[storm sluice]

freedom is so easy cause u can just farm duty all day every day

[tough falcon]

nah you can go north too and fight monolith and sin at some point

[minor meadow]

does REDONE work with the new gamma update ?

[daring compass]

do i have to reinstall the whole launcher when they update it or do i just install/update gamma?

[tough falcon]

i don't know i'd rather shoot on my right nut than play freedom

[elfin pine]

just grab new launcher and update if needed

no need to reinstall or start a new save

[eager loom]

when the new update drops then follow #💽how-to-update

[blazing harbor]

Unless he’s switching from 0.9.4

[final sapphire]

Why I mean it’s a fun challenging high progressing campaign?

[elfin pine]

unless..

for anyone wanting to play gamma this very moment - https://www.gog.com/en/game/stalker_gamma

[tough falcon]

for me quests are all. if you give me trash quest you are automatically banished from existance

[elfin pine]

actually, i should put it in the command

wait

[blazing harbor]

Fire

[worn sedge]

Drag drop hit replace

[unique heath]

that might confuse people as they're likely expecting it to be free, no?

[quaint wind]

you speak english?

[blazing harbor]

I made 100k in the first three ingame days of playing merc off of regular quests alone

[final sapphire]

Do you still need to buy the 20 dollar game for this one?

[daring compass]

is there any information when the patch for new version will drop?

[unique heath]

and people wont read. they can, they just likely wont

[tough falcon]

i mean i could still do freedom but i'll rush dead city and do quests for merc. so no point. i'd play merc at that point

[gloomy fossil]

Oh yeah how many command is on that bot is there anyway to view them all?

[eager acorn]

merc is really fun

[blazing harbor]

#🤖bot-commands pinned

[eager acorn]

ive really grown to merc progression

[blazing harbor]

Trueeee especially if you don’t use fast travel

[tough falcon]

merc is the most powerful faction in terms of progression i think. faster progression than any other faction at the cost of increased difficulty

[lost dock]

do you guys also get ambushed in rostok

[final sapphire]

Ohh I get it

[visual mirage]

Merc is great, even if I am still popping anti rads so my face doesn't melt off

[bronze smelt]

Guys how do i remove the max weight of my stash. Like i want to store unlimited stuff in a bag or storage box.

[blazing harbor]

Increased difficulty my ass, my MP5 shreds

[worn sedge]

What's the difference

[lost dock]

I was woken up to 5 renegades in the middle of rostok camping the bed

[uncut hawk]

umm i think my thermal scope bugged or some

[elfin pine]

wow thats bloated

[eager acorn]

after doing brain scorcher you're friends with loners

[blazing harbor]

Loners will kill you until you hit brain scorcher. You have zero access to Rostock, you’re friendly with bandits and freedom

[tough falcon]

yeah i mean you start north so you have the chance of early monolith encounter and more monsters. but overall yes

[frigid falcon]

How does the GOG version work? Are the mods still pulled from moddb?

[eager acorn]

gives more of a purpose also to grind out goodwill up north, imo

[quaint wind]

Merc is one of best faction

[blazing harbor]

I start in dead city like dushman intended

[elfin pine]

gog has a snapshot of 0.9.4

[keen fjord]

anyone else having problems that meat quests crash the game?

[elfin pine]

predownloaded mods

[lofty ridge]

I prefer either starting as Loner or Bandit and progressing through them and then just later faction swapping to Merc, Freedom or Duty - Freedom probably best if you plan on setting up in the North

[tough falcon]

yeah ofc

[potent iron]

Merc has the best quests

[blazing harbor]

Wrong

[latent coral]

mercs are not a faction, they're a social class

[eager acorn]

also trve

[blazing harbor]

Also wrong but dushman pays fair

[bronze smelt]

[lucid valley]

merc worst group of people

[daring notch]

Bandits for life

[elfin pine]

there we go

[eager loom]

[light juniper]

Gamma is killing me man

[blazing harbor]

Lmao no, that’s UNISG

[tough falcon]

it's true tho. if we are watching the game only by a logical sense. merc give you faster progression compared to others

[eager acorn]

me when i hate fun

[blazing harbor]

UNISG kill people for “science”, mercs kill people for money

[lucid valley]

fun is mono

[blazing harbor]

Which one’s more beneficial

[spark junco]

How do I zoom in with my scope 👀

[eager loom]

yes

[blazing harbor]

Scroll wheel

[quaint edge]

I found this guy like search and rescue but there was no quest for him So he's coming with me

[quaint wind]

People say merc is worst because they don't have those teach in Delta

[tough falcon]

stonks

[spark junco]

okay so I'm guessing PSU can't be zoomed.

[daring compass]

when can we expect a new patch to drop?

[eager loom]

some scopes can zoom, others can't but to zoom you use your scroll wheel

[elfin pine]

!scopefaq / unless you mean free zoom, then mouse 5

[hearty saffron]

@spark junco

• Toggle canted sight: V by default (canted sight = the "CQB", secondary or backup sight)
• Toggle under-barrel launcher: Left Alt by default

Note: go into Anomaly Settings and rebind "Switch to Under-barrel Launcher" and "Sight Aim Mode Toggle" to change UGL and canted sight toggles, respectively

• Turn on laser: Hold L (or flashlight key)
• Toggle scope mode: = (changes scope illumination or NVG mode on/off, check Mod Config Menu -> Mark Switch for keybind)
• Toggle scope zoom: Scroll Wheel, if available (not all scopes have variable zoom, even the same scope on different guns)
  Missing a scope reticle? Try !noscope. Hate how blurry the scope is? Try !noscopezoom

[lost dock]

@elfin pine I have been in some weird situations in rostok. enemy factions spawn in the middle of rostok

[blazing harbor]

“Don’t lie to me, only delta gets that kind of practice!”

[eager loom]

no it can't

[sly python]

wheres the new gamma rc3 file?

[elfin pine]

not out yet

[simple wind]

What exacxtly are the benefits of A-Life Plus atp? Everything I've seen about it has been a massive negative after another.

[elfin pine]

keep waiting

[frigid falcon]

How?

[quaint edge]

he my loot carrier now, I'll hook him with a good weapon when I get one

[quaint wind]

"haha really funny guy..."

[brazen mirage]

You guys getting any sleep around here? i feel like i haven't slept in months

[fallen notch]

When is the v8.6 launcher dropping?

[latent coral]

no, UNISG kill people for fun, because whoever decided to put them into anomaly didn't use common sense and thought that them killing a ton of people on their way to objective is gonna somehow conceal their actions

[daring notch]

Soon TM

[void kettle]

is it worth buying the laptop for the access to all local traders?

[storm sluice]

what - dont u like the addition of the Stalker 2 A-life 2.0?

[elfin pine]

well its simulation of the world by giving people tasks and then spawning a ton of shit to make you feel like it was already there and interacting with everything around you

it has issues, some that may not be patched out

[storm sluice]

im so happy u guys added the stalker 2 alife bubble to gamma - its just what it lacked. not

[blazing harbor]

ISG literally kill people to watch how death affects a person involved in the zone and it’s activities, it’s in the lore

[elfin pine]

on paper the mod is good, but the closer you look the more the vibe coded mess shows

[storm sluice]

a zombie just spawned 10m in front of me

[blazing harbor]

They also conceal their movement through murder. But that doesn’t really work lmao

[void rain]

Stosha? Stosha Govnozad? Remember me? I'm Deez Nuts, we went to the same middle school!

[eager loom]

bugged how?

[blazing harbor]

Everybody knows about them

[uncut hawk]

i dont know tbh entered the game and the scope stopped working

[blazing harbor]

Reload save file

[latent coral]

then what's even the point of them being budget black ops

[elfin pine]

did you install or update in the last two days?

[simple wind]

That's the exact impression I've been getting. Sounds like an immediate disable, if it's not already by default.

[eager loom]

oh yeah that's fucked lol

[quaint wind]

the story quest of UNISG is like "hunting Freeman"

[blazing harbor]

No idea, they just larp ig

[raven pier]

What would be the optical faction choice in 0.95 for using Nato weapons? I'm thinking CS

[uncut hawk]

i updated the game when it came out

[elfin pine]

i mean Grok so far just... likes it

[blazing harbor]

Dushman is a nato seller. Only benefits you get with CS are gauss ammo for sale and early .357

[sonic kelp]

does ISG even have lore? they were cut pretty early into development

[blazing harbor]

Fan made lore

By anomaly devs afaik

[sonic kelp]

[latent coral]

yeah that's why I pointed out they kill people for fun, they don't care about science

even freedomers care about science more than these idiots do

[raven pier]

So you're saying that it's time to play mercs

[quaint wind]

back in mod add to next build, he did said that he will look into it and tweak it since 0.94 . i guess it could be worst

[blazing harbor]

Yup

[daring notch]

Remember our third friend Ray? Ray Sizzem? He so wholesome now, even accepted his wife second name and added to his. He is Ray Sizzem-Foreva now!

[blazing harbor]

Join us brother

[sonic kelp]

i'd say something but atp isg is a fanmade faction lol

[latent coral]

it's mostly made the fuck up on the foundation of what was cut from clearsky yeah

[cold spruce]

it says im on 0.9.5, do i have to start a new game?

[latent coral]

yes

[tough falcon]

merc/duty/loner is the way to go

[blazing harbor]

They’re ballers tho

[unique heath]

See this is why spacing matters.

1 frag and your 'elite' squad gets wiped

[raven pier]

I mean fuck it why not. I'll prolly have to learn to use disguises ig

[blazing harbor]

He’s looking for nato so mercs

[cold spruce]

should i try clear sky or mercs, alr finished my loner playthrough in 0.9.4

[blazing harbor]

TruePIP!!!

[quaint wind]

join us brother! make some cash! pop some shitty loner head!

[sonic kelp]

iirc the little lore there is says UNISG is a completely separate expedition from the Clear Sky ISG so idk

[jaunty rapids]

quick question: is it just me, or do guns shoot way higher at close range, when using iron sights?

[sonic kelp]

3D ballistics

[unique heath]

yes indeed

[tough falcon]

mercs.

[simple wind]

You'd think the notification writing alone would be enough for some collar pulling. :V

[blazing harbor]

That engine keeps freezing on me sadly

[pearl forum]

Ngl I'm kinda underwhelmed when playing as UNISG being hyped up about this disguise thing and never leaving any witnesses while I just played the game like usual and somehow everyone's not reacting that there's a foreign military in the zone

[quaint edge]

My mid Game setup

[quaint wind]

what gun?

[jaunty rapids]

[sonic kelp]

hi anon!

[raven pier]

Is there a catch all disguise? Maybe loner?

[simple wind]

But I can't complain too much as long as it's easily disabled without bringing down the whole pack.

[formal hatch]

any reason to start a run as renegade?

[blazing harbor]

Loner disguise is pretty good

[latent coral]

yes, because the old ISG tried to do research and get wiped, and the new ISG is only sent out to loot secret documents from the labs

[pearl forum]

If you're getting hard when seeing game over

[eager loom]

difficulty and because you enjoy hating yourself?

[sonic kelp]

[tough falcon]

a part from their voicelines? no. if you want to suffer then yes. do a zero to hero and start as a renegade. then convert to bandit and then to freedom to do main quest

[blazing harbor]

Ecologists on meth

[quaint wind]

maybe they fck up ADS position of thomson

[latent coral]

which you will never see them trying to achieve, since they will randomly spawn in random places

[blazing harbor]

Anyway, playing gamma in English while knowing Russian is so fun

[pearl forum]

Ecologists but they're stopped fucking around

[blazing harbor]

I understand all dialogue:>

[latent coral]

maybe in clearsky they were

[formal hatch]

this actually sounds fun ... will it be tho?

[raven pier]

I guess a merc playthrough would be: start dead city and rush bandit land to make money and then what

[pearl forum]

OH HEY THE COOLDOWN IS NOW 5 SECS LESS GOOOO

[jaunty rapids]

it seems to be just the backup sight though (which is ironic, because that's literally for short range)

[blazing harbor]

Ecologists but cooler and foreign

[tough falcon]

it depends what's your conception of fun....

[latent coral]

anomaly ISG are just caglarpers

[void kettle]

i will personally fist fight anyone who thinks 9x19 is a bad round

[sonic kelp]

think of it like harder monolith because your only allies are bandits

[pearl forum]

Ecologists but they booga, and I oonga

[quaint wind]

maybe try other gun

[latent coral]

supposedly they're also sent to the Zone by the CIA

[blazing harbor]

My team wears all black and leaves no survivors type shit

[tough falcon]

ecologists -> all

[quaint wind]

9x19 fmj is bad round

[blazing harbor]

UN, not US

[pearl forum]

I wished they rewrite and refine the UNISG lore and buffed them up a bit along with the Monoliths

[void kettle]

well duh

[blazing harbor]

NO THE FUCK IT IS NOT?? MASTER RANK DUTY MEMBERS EAT SHIT FROM IT

[blazing harbor]

So true

[maiden zenith]

announcement that gamma cannot be installed was made at 23:34 i genuinely finished my update at 23:20

[pearl forum]

I think they're referring to a lot of CIA operatives within UNISG

[maiden zenith]

holy luck

[latent coral]

my clan is highly trained and we wear weird proprietary camo and die to a single loner

[frail vine]

the new armor system sure does its work

[pearl forum]

Oh that Loner is probably Strelok no wonder why

[swift belfry]

how do i enable sound notifications for artefact detecting?

[blazing harbor]

UNISG squad when a former main character and five SSU operatives bring a loner along:

[cinder ocean]

anyone know where i can snag SISKI

[vapid drift]

woke up to a controller inside Rostok

[maiden zenith]

is that the default ui now?

[frail vine]

no

[pearl forum]

Someone's definitely fuckin it

[cold spruce]

im gonna try mercs

[quaint wind]

also enemy shot you and you turn back toshout your teammate why the heck you shot me?

[latent coral]

it's said that US had the most leverage in re-opening the ISG "program"

[maiden zenith]

thank God

[tough falcon]

good choice sir

[cold spruce]

is mp5 worth the points

[pearl forum]

Colonel Degtyarev? What the hell?!

[sonic kelp]

ISG being there to coverup the fuckups of their previous expedition and prevent their involvement getting out would honestly be kinda cool and still fit their black ops larp thing

[tough falcon]

yes and yes and then yes

[scenic pendant]

should i re install?

[vocal heron]

You're lucky you managed to download the new GAMMA.

[blazing harbor]

US has the most leverage in literally everywhere.

Except nuclear power plants

[cold spruce]

is the pfp tuff

[sonic kelp]

yes

[frail vine]

[formal hatch]

no use ... backends down atm

[latent coral]

wait, so Operation Afterglow is just reverse UNISG storyline?

[tough falcon]

cheap ammo and ap are quite common and decent

[pearl forum]

Hard image, but I'm harder

[latent coral]

[sonic kelp]

pretty much

[scenic pendant]

still broken? oof

[blazing harbor]

Maybe idk I didn’t play UNISG story line

[sonic kelp]

fake news

[cold spruce]

what do yall bring as starting loadout

[vague temple]

what's yalls opinion on the most unique faction to play as and what's your favourite faction to play as?

[formal hatch]

ye

[scenic pendant]

seems like the zone does not want me in at the moment

[frail vine]

could be duty propaganda

[tough falcon]

it depends on what faction you play. but usually .45 acp pistol or mp5

[lofty ridge]

Bandit

[simple wind]

gun and boolet

[cold spruce]

im bringing the cheapest gear, a handlamp and some meds

mp5 is cause its good
