[grim jackal]

the loot file is a fucking minefield dude, its possible yes.

[silver cloak]

I think its a scripted immortal sniper

[grim jackal]

tyvm senpai

[white ember]

the controls are ok, also sometimes it aims but then randomly unaims

[clear patio]

yea. and if you havent installed mods before easiest thing to do
go to steam
right click stalker 2
hover over manage
click browse local files
click stalker 2
content
paks
make a folder and name it ~mods
throw pak files in there.

[silver cloak]

thanks very much, i did install mods before i just wanted to ask for mods that worked post-patch

[river lintel]

And remember that depending on what you add your save might get bricked when the game patches

[royal hollow]

uhhh...whats going on here lmfao

[grim jackal]

ADD launch parameters to your stalker 2 exe on steam "-fileopenlog" without the quotes, -fileopenlog forces all mods to load even if they dont end with _P

[clear patio]

actually didnt know that big thank

[silver cloak]

Oh, nice advice, much appreciated

[river lintel]

Flashbangs probably

[clear patio]

do not panic. do not move. do not look around suddenly.

[silver cloak]

If there is additional parameter like -dx12, do i just write it without commas and spaces like -dx12-fileopenlog?

[clear patio]

-dx12 -fileopenlog
like dat

[grim jackal]

i heard using -dx12 can help with some performance issues but honestly ive not tested it so idk if it does anything. i use it anyway

[odd wadi]

I suspect that's happened to my game, but I'll only re-test this tomorrow with a fresh save.

[clear patio]

probably not but its harmless so worth a try.

[grim jackal]

exactly

[river lintel]

Yeah probably

[frozen flame]

thank god for august sale all the other stalker games r on sale

[late kernel]

Doesn't stalker 2 run on dx12 by default?

[pliant sigil]

I mean do you even need them to play Anomaly/GAMMA?

[silver cloak]

@white ore Btw if install no shader warmup right before first launch will it break anything?

[pliant sigil]

Or just CoC for that matter

[silver cloak]

Its a stalker 2 chat bruv))

[grim jackal]

no, gamma anomaly are standalone.

[stiff glade]

I don't get how the devs want degradation and repairs to work. Right now on vanilla it just feels like a huge money sink.

[frank portal]

S2 sucks

[grim jackal]

probably not

[alpine swan]

hi guys, which of these artifacts give +9 to weight?

[silver cloak]

I think they though it was too easy in previous games, like the prices were so low back then

[frozen flame]

your the reason u have +9 weight

[silver cloak]

Second from the left 100%, about others i dont know

[river lintel]

The one that says "weight"

[grim jackal]

one in the middle gives u minus rads @alpine swan

[alpine swan]

it's ss from youtube video, and it says 89kg

[grim jackal]

you can get +weight from armour mods

[odd wadi]

Yeah, they rebalanced it, so it's better now, but it's still not quite there imho.. It can really depend on playstyle right now though.

[silver cloak]

I just use the anomalous bottle from zaton, it gives +40 kg

[grim jackal]

none of them look like the weight reduction artifact that i use, i dont use the bottle either.

[alpine swan]

is it for weight or rad res?

[versed bear]

mercenary armor give you like 8.0 kg when upgraded and lowerd its weight down to 1.0 most easly to get to really

[pliant sigil]

I find it hilarious that the weird ball increases in weight as you take damage.

[grim jackal]

there are artifacts that remove rads on their own, and there are some that give you +weight capacity for radiating you.

[silver cloak]

But it's really new game stage, its not good at protection

[grim jackal]

there arel ike 50 artifacts and 38 of them are trash

[silver cloak]

Damn i want to start a new game so badly, idk why

[frigid oracle]

i skipped upgrading armor is not really that different on veteran u still die

[versed bear]

i dont know i never switch armor so far and its protected me for alot of stuff in game lately

[pliant sigil]

Literally the only artifacts that really matter are physical protection, weight, endurance, and radiation resist

[silver cloak]

I am just so much better at the game right now, i want to experience it again

[untold night]

just waited 10 days to install stalker 2

[sturdy meteor]

call it the weight of a full bullet spounge

[grim jackal]

when u get the seva suit, if u find it, its worth upgrading. you canm tank everything except 5 guys shooting your face.

[pliant sigil]

MAYBE bleed resist if you don't like using bandages or vinca

[untold night]

14 gb update

[odd wadi]

Yeah the 10% carry is silly, it's only ever based on the standard 80KG max carry weight, so it could also just read: "Your max weight increases 8KG more"

It'd be nice if it actually scaled with artifacts that gave carry weight, but that'd be OP

[stable quarry]

there's a bunch of immortal snipers in towers in duga area that can one hit kill you so i'm assuming you deal with them at some point in SQ

[versed bear]

i dit wanted to use the sunrise armor but then i lose 104 carry weight sadly

[stiff glade]

Yeah I think it's the seeming lack of control over it that's my biggest problem. Right now whenever I'm actually using a weapon it feels like I'm pissing money down the drain.

[obsidian heath]

maybe dont wait so long then 🙂

[high forge]

i guess the "More plentiful ammo" mod was a bit exaggerated

[versed bear]

god dame can you send me some lol

[obsidian heath]

https://tenor.com/view/why-persian-room-cat-guardian-but-why-trendizisst-anyaboz-gif-2156104475561014590

[untold night]

It was installing all 10 days I didn't chose to wait

[pliant sigil]

Why would you use a mod that gave you more ammo when vanilla already drowns you in ammo

[strange palm]

hello, im curious what the difference betwen gamma and misery mod?

[obsidian heath]

Fuck sake bud you need to download better internet

[river lintel]

I have a fully upgraded seva d with a compass, I'm immortal!

[grim jackal]

one of the mods i found gives enemies more ammo on death, i didnt realise how insane it was as i killed 4 mono guys and now i have a full stack of 7.62x39 AP, and 5.56 AP. 400 bullets on each of them is wtf tier

[odd wadi]

That's why I use the 9x18 Spitter or whatnot, the unique S-2 SMG, it's super cheap to run and quite effective until mid-game; ammo is near weightless and plentiful too

[frigid oracle]

i think 80 kg is a lot but the issue is every item is too heavy, like bread os made out of lead, and i think guns are quite lighter irl so u could carry 20 guns that weight 4 kilos

[untold night]

No I need to go home already, ive been stuck at a hotel for a month in school for my CDL lol

[late kernel]

ultimate edition stashes are fucking insane

[versed bear]

yeah same time i like i shoud stop grab everything i see since you cant sell red broken guns anyway and artifacts is what give most money now but yet i still a lootgoblin and i cant live with out more weight carry i suck XD

[silver cloak]

They are really not when you get further into the story

[pliant sigil]

I mean, there's very little reason to actually carry a lot of food or meds on you considering how much the game gives you off enemies, stashes, shelves, etcetera.

[odd wadi]

Can sell red guns in Rostok (just not 0% stuff)

[grim jackal]

Try the APSB pistol. it uses the overpowered 9x18 round, and its burst fire with fully automatic capacity if you tap the trigger. very good recoil, cheap as hell ammo that is op and better than 5.56 lmao

[obsidian heath]

OOOOH CDL though good luck man. Fun times ahead of you

[sturdy meteor]

I regret selling the Merc ar16

[silver cloak]

I mean you can pretty much anything better than you find at stashes in this exact area

[shadow sphinx]

got dnipro river from red forest, am i winning bois?

[royal hollow]

they were all the great crown artifacts lol

[versed bear]

i whas never abled to sadly there

[obsidian heath]

dont XD

[silver cloak]

Damn, im starting a new game i dont care

[river lintel]

Stash every red you find then fast travel to rostok for bank

[untold night]

yep, Already finished the school Im just kinda waiting until Monday to take my final tests fukn ThAnKsGiViNg,

[pliant sigil]

Whenever I leave base I only take five cans of food, like seven or eight energy drinks, ten each of bandages and medkits. And I still end up selling surplus of all that whenever I'm at a base.

[versed bear]

plus i dont think its worth even to pay 2000 or so to go to rostok to sell small worth of money guns of like 200 rubble or so lol

[odd wadi]

Yeah next playthrough I'm going to Rostok directly and immediately after Lesser Zone jail opens up, that way I can use Guides to get there at any time and sell for big money.

[grim jackal]

This is de way.

[frigid oracle]

i take 4 sosigis and 4 vodkas

[versed bear]

but question is is it worth to pay like 2000 or 1000 rubble to sell those ?

[grim jackal]

kolbasa ❤️

[pliant sigil]

Also, once you have artifacts that reduce radiation, radiation meds basically just become another form of currency

[odd wadi]

pay? don't fix and sell, just sell?

[frigid oracle]

i always sold meds the real med is vodka

[grim jackal]

when you get to mid/late game you start finding anti rads in the dozens on corpses. i had 2 in my inv, did some missions near the duga and i had over 40.

[river lintel]

You sell 2 broken svu a handful of integrals and gp37s and you'll think different

[odd wadi]

I always bring 15 medkits, 30 bandages, 3 vodkas, 4 beer, 7 sausages and 7 energy drinks.

6RGD, 1 F1, and 2 of each drug.

[versed bear]

like you got to pay GUIDES to move there so like i somewhere collect so many of those red guns and then have to go to Rustok to sell the red guns and have to pay 2000 to go there is it really that worth it ?

[late kernel]

They don't reduce your radiation fast enough when you accidentally stumble into a random 100000ms radiation zone

[untold night]

Let's see if I can play by disconnecting from the wifi

[peak eagle]

Wait till you have good rep with guides, you can pay 750 coupons to move from one side of the zone to the other

[versed bear]

deppens as on Veteran selling alot of the stuff seems worthless most of the time other then artifacts now

[frigid oracle]

when overweight i stash my loot them do two trips by foot

[untold night]

I go home Monday anyway and will update it then lol

[pliant sigil]

Yeah but I usually find some rad meds lying around between that point and when I leave base. I don't generally need to keep any ON me when leaving.

[odd wadi]

Depends how much you have to sell, but you could just run up there as well, I just want it marked so I can fast-travel if I'm not mentally up for the trek.

[high forge]

how do i get down here without dying

[river lintel]

I run 10 med and bandage, 2 rad meds, a stack of ammo and a sausage or 2

[digital vale]

Really miss the OG rank system, hate how everyone wears exosuits in end game

[grim jackal]

the game economy is about artifacts, guns are worthless, gear is heavy and not worth fixing before sale. hunt artifacts. i sold my collection once 1.0.1 dropped, i became a millionaire.

[peak eagle]

Just jump

[pliant sigil]

Turn to your left, there's another one of those with a ladder.

[obsidian heath]

pay 6k and buy the car

[frigid oracle]

just jump

[digital vale]

there's a ladder

[silver cloak]

There is different entrance with ladder

[wide mortar]

the money glitch is also still in the game.

[high forge]

thx

[obsidian heath]

its not

[versed bear]

wut ?

[clear patio]

"I'll take artifacts for 1000 alex"

[silver cloak]

No

[wide mortar]

it's just less lucrative than before because they fixed giving you vendor price. but it's still in the game. I just did it.

[digital vale]

it is

[obsidian heath]

there is a car you can buy and if you have the battery artifact you can throw it on the hood for free fast travel

[peak eagle]

Invest in Weird Water artifact, Increase your carry capacity to 120, profit

[river lintel]

Got patched yesterday . Unless you mean the stack return glitch

[versed bear]

i dont know that car yet but sounds cool

[obsidian heath]

WHich one then?

[full minnow]

does anyone know how to fight the white screen bug when you zoom in with the vss vintorez? i can't see anything the lighting turns white in the scope lens

[odd wadi]

Shitty guns are worthless, decent yellow quality guns are pretty worth to sell

[river lintel]

But drunk when hoarding

[digital vale]

You can still duplicate money you just get less

[versed bear]

lol

[peak eagle]

Minor side effect

Get the Seva-I suit, upgrade to have 20% carry capacity as well

[grim jackal]

i dont think ive collected more than 5k for any kind of weapon sold even at full condition, i sold my entire stash of guns and made like 40k, sold all my gear and made about 320k, sold all my arties except my in use ones and made 2.8 million.

[odd wadi]

Honestly when considering what is or is not worth to lug to trader to sell, SkyUI did this right.

Weight-per-Septim inventory view

[versed bear]

but for real though i been thinking to switch to the sunrise armor and juts dont carry any guns i find anymore just artifacts from now on to get the money worth lol

[brittle crystal]

i've got nimbles saiga that he left on the ground, can't upgrade it in zaton, what's the nearest tech that can upgrade it?

ideally without progressing the story

[digital vale]

yanov station

[peak eagle]

When in doubt, Yaniv

[river lintel]

I forgot about that

[brittle crystal]

thanks

[silver cloak]

Its in yaniv, so change to spas 12 you get for arena

[pliant sigil]

Would Malachite work? They can upgrade everything short of like exo, AFAIK

[odd wadi]

Well, I just sold all my artifacts yesterday and I got a whopping 50K or something, but I've been keeping my whole economy afloat by selling quality guns, 416's and better

[silver cloak]

Where is malachite?

[dusk harbor]

Can I put a post for a mod request in the mod category? I am looking to have the weapon guard lowered, lowered weapon

[late kernel]

west

[river lintel]

West, but you need a pass

[silver cloak]

I got a pass

[obsidian heath]

or 2k 🙂

[grim jackal]

people have already asked for that, maybe someone will make it but its not easy manipulating animations at the moment (i lack the knowledge as its something i need to do for my own mods)

[dusk harbor]

Thanks for the response

[odd wadi]

I guess the more you're artifact hunting in the North, the more gain you'll see from artifact hunting, lower zone spawns mostly 4K per artifact trash

[obsidian heath]

there is an arti price increaser 🙂

[odd wadi]

I know, I know, but I thought we were discussing vanilla economy

[grim jackal]

There are some good routes you can run that visit many anomalous areas, you can get quite lucky if you farm the claw for compasses.

[versed bear]

not sure what i been doing wrong then as i finaly maked after the repair changes like 70.000 finaly for selling artifacts i had in my stash been abled to fix my guns for ones with no problem but i dont make that much lol

[grim jackal]

@odd wadi sorry for image spam everyone

[pliant sigil]

I had good luck roving the burned forest anomalies, though bad luck with the roving killsquads of bloodsuckers.

[hollow mirage]

what assault rilfe would u guys recomend me im kinda sick of my ak and i wanna change things up a little

[river lintel]

Fora

[digital vale]

kiparis

[odd wadi]

Yeah I guess when you start really knowing the whole map, you can setup very profitable runs and avoid most troubles along the way..

In the beginning though I was just farming the military guys/IPSF, hoping they'd drop armor or yellow guns..

That's how I afforded early upgrades to gear and weapons and repairs ofc.

[wise zinc]

theres someone trying to make hte game "more russian" 😭

[grim jackal]

@hollow mirage Knipro is the best in game, the fort is really good for cqb.

[river lintel]

What?

[hollow mirage]

where i find thtat?

[late kernel]

So what

[digital vale]

You can get broken one on top of a cooling tower

[grim jackal]

the admin of the stalker 2 modding community discord tried this, his russian mod got removed from the nexus as it goes against GSC's wishes lol

[hollow mirage]

bruh

[versed bear]

HK 416 AS VAL Kharod Dnipro are good AR rifles

[silver cloak]

Would anyone recommend that mod? (https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/241)

[grim jackal]

on corpses you create, or shops you visit.

[pliant sigil]

I prefer the Kharod over the Dnipro. Less damage per shot but much more controllable recoil and you can put a shotgun on it.

[stiff glade]

changing the subtitle to "Chernobyl"

[fallow stone]

Holy shit the gerbils are invading

[grim jackal]

7.62mm just deletes everything in sight. thats why i love it.

[digital vale]

unique dnipro is a laser beam but you only get it in the last mission

[hollow mirage]

show me pic of that gun or tell me real name 😄

[fringe jewel]

high repair costs are lore accurate

[grim jackal]

@hollow mirage gun on the right in my inventory

[pliant sigil]

Stalker games don't have last missions. I refuse to believe they exist. I actually just think they've been shit for every Stalker game.

[hollow mirage]

ohhh this one ahh okey

perhaps i can try find it

[digital vale]

nice spawned in guns kek

[tall pecan]

this game needs some serious gun rebalance, some stupid bandit shouldnt be able to take 60 round from ak74

[limpid terrace]

holy shit the player base is growing this achievment used to be 0.3

[grim jackal]

I have 70 hours played, sorry you cant play the game as well as me bro.

i play the economy lol

[digital vale]

you literally can't get those guns in base game

[snow hill]

so does the door in zalissya kill npcs for anyone else? It's kind of annoying

[limpid terrace]

i just witnessed ||the boom|| it was such a cinema

[grim jackal]

are you stupid or what lol yeah you must have room temperature iq, im sorry for your loss.

every gun is in the game you sausage, you must not be clearing stashes or looking hard enough lol

[digital vale]

my dude yapping

[burnt wraith]

What guns are these out of curiosity?

[wary orbit]

You use your eyes and look around

[silver cloak]

Dude im so starting new game with (https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/241)

[pliant sigil]

Sledgehammer my beloved

[silver cloak]

Im hyped by new game possibilities with that

[grim jackal]

left is saiga 12k with drum mag, right is knipro with ru 2x, pistol is apsb.

[silver cloak]

Is Apsb good?

[burnt wraith]

So you can get the drum mag w/o going past the point of no return or is that where you are now? Knipro haven't seen it yet must me unlucky as hell or is it a unqiue?

[digital vale]

one gun he has is dnipro that is a unique that you get in the last mission and the saiga drum mag attachment is in the last mission area as well

[grim jackal]

its burst fire with 30 round extended mag, firing 9x18. its really good

[obsidian heath]

6 times the power of skeefs pistol cause 3 round burst 🙂

[alpine swan]

is there any good artifact comparison website or table?

[silver cloak]

What about UDP? I love it so much

[grim jackal]

it slays rats and dogs when i panic fire lol

[limpid terrace]

skoof's pistol

[obsidian heath]

udp VERY fun but ASp is broken as fuck

[grim jackal]

idk what you mean by the point of no return, ive not finished the main story as ive explored everywhere for loot like a goblin

[odd wadi]

lore my ass. Cleaning guns yourself to avoid damage to guns, is the most LORE you can get

[shadow sphinx]

finally replacing S-2 BUCKET w/ Dinipro. I hate that little czech machinepistole is so OP. why does GSC have such a fetish for crappy 9x18 Makarov. That round is barely better than .380 ACP.

[burnt wraith]

Getting ||Teleported to Pripyat|| big spoilers afaik

[digital vale]

no you don't get it before

[grim jackal]

i was in pripyat before i even had a seva suit using the exploit to get entry.

[fringe jewel]

shut up

[burnt wraith]

Ah. I see that's how you got around it.

[grim jackal]

you can escape via a bouncy anomaly

[river lintel]

I love bouncy anomalies

[burnt wraith]

Anyone managed to find the AS Val Capacity mag yet?

[pliant sigil]

Bouncy anomalies are either your best friend or worst enemy

[odd wadi]

only via console apparently

[river lintel]

Sadly, while I have it in my stash I don't remember where it came from

[wary orbit]

The APBS should have semi auto/full auto fire selector not 3 round burst

[digital vale]

not in the game yet as loot

[burnt wraith]

Damn. Wonder if it's possible for an enemy kit to spawn in with it?

[river lintel]

Oh wait, as val, not vintar my b

[digital vale]

Nope

[pliant sigil]

Also I would fucking laugh and cry if an AS Val extended magazine couldn’t be used on the VSS

[burnt wraith]

[odd wadi]

you must unravel this mystery, for the good of all

[grim jackal]

you make wild claims, you dont know your left from your right lol

[odd wadi]

OFC it can't; the guns are completely different entities, devoid of any overlap, outside of silencers and sights apparently

[digital vale]

Ok and?

[digital vale]

btw

[grim jackal]

i think you're right. many items are seperate entities, the attachment system is pretty bad.

[woeful quail]

Not great how they did the weapon mods and distributed the important ones as unique stash items

[digital vale]

[pliant sigil]

You’re right, completely different guns. Absolutely not the same gun with minor mechanical changes and different furniture.

[odd wadi]

I'd be OK with it, if the important stashes were GREEN

[peak eagle]

Locking great guns behind the absolute endgame, a shame

[wary orbit]

wrong

[grim jackal]

you find the magazine mod for the m870 near the duga on a farm silo surrounded by bloodsuckers, the progression with items is a bit fucked i think.

[digital vale]

Yeah annoying, that cool X7 armor is in the last mission as well

[shadow sphinx]

vs vintar highcap mag was in swam iiirc

[digital vale]

that's for the svu sniper

[shadow sphinx]

swamp*

[woeful quail]

Spent half the game waiting for different weapons and armor. Then got to Pripyat and it dumped 5 exo-skeletons and all the end game weapons on me.

[shadow sphinx]

ok well i dunno where i found it. i just stalk everything that looks like a building/poi and pretty sure I got it early on

[silver cloak]

Yes, i found it near the chopper on the right side of the map

[digital vale]

Vs vintar is not as val

[shadow sphinx]

they're all made up anyways

[wary orbit]

Do you really need anything else than a Seva Suit really? Just don't get hit

[woeful quail]

I couldn't kill a chimera before getting flechette rounds on the texan

[pliant sigil]

So, uh, does the Ward just leave their vehicles parked everywhere, unattended?

They kinda just left this IFV here

[odd wadi]

Next run I'm going Rostok, then directly north, I don't care how much I'll die; it'll be worth it

[grim jackal]

most of the vehicles are broken down from the radiation i thought, or do they have some working ones?

[spring mirage]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71g_aVfLBDk

[shadow sphinx]

dey got that scienz juice moneys

[pliant sigil]

The Ward absolutely has working vehicles

[digital vale]

You can literally see them fixing cars in the story mission

[wary orbit]

lul

[shadow sphinx]

ward got radiation-hardened stuff. old soviet trucks dgaf about radiation, are they even fuel injected? probably not. probably whirrly spinner sparked. no digicals at tall.

[grim jackal]

imagine paying attention to story mission backdrop cinematic characters and not zerging your way forward

[pliant sigil]

They have trucks, IFV's, helicopters, not sure about tanks

[burnt wraith]

They've got a couple cars lying around in Duga that just kinda seem abandoned

[livid vine]

Yeah there's a working vehicle in zalyssia at the start of the game

[burnt wraith]

But they've got the decal/paint and were functional at somepoint.

[livid vine]

A pickup with turrets

[woeful quail]

Without deeper economy within an economy like GAMMA has with the mechanical parts and gadgets you're collecting over time, there's no real point to going to all the POIs for a stash that's just gonna have 3 bandages, 2 cossacks and a sausage.

[snow hill]

well this quest is bugged so i guess I'm just not gonna play until another patch drops

[burnt wraith]

Which one?

[grim jackal]

ive seen plenty of apcs but no functional ones with a engine that is running or a turret in operation, thats why i ask. im paying more attention to loot and the quests

[odd wadi]

They really needed to seperate out shitty white stashes from chad green stashes

[tall pecan]

am i the only one who cant aim in this game

[grim jackal]

mouse smoothing is on by default, you want one of the fixes on the nexus brother. its horrible, i couldnt aim for shit with the smoothing delay.

[odd wadi]

no, the input lag is just bad and seemingly cannot be fixed even through mods that I've tried

[burnt wraith]

Mouse Smoothing until I turn FSR on and I'm delayed by 10 years as an offset.

[digital vale]

horizontal and vertical sensitivity are different as well

[tall pecan]

I play with FG and i feel like im aiming with controller

[grim jackal]

i get that delay when near built up areas, its like when you fight in a dream, punching through molasses/toffee.

[snow hill]

door has a kill trigger so hamster and his guard die as soon as they try to walk through the door

[burnt wraith]

Oh. That's a new one. Not sure how to solve it.

[pliant sigil]

These look fairly new and functional to me and the Ward presumably drove them to this little outpost. And then, left them, I guess?...

[odd wadi]

Game also apparently keeps turning off Nvidia reflex mode, but that's claimed to be fixed in patchnotes...

[snow hill]

https://new.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1h2ttxl/how_do_i_stop_npcs_from_dying_in_the_door_at/ Aparantly a patch caused it. Trying to fix one thing with another caused a new bug to drop

[grim jackal]

oh wow no i never noticed those lol

[burnt wraith]

Get the delay everywhere. Especially when fighting my 1070 Ti be tryin it's best.

[shadow sphinx]

just let zalissya die. it's not like you're going to spend any time there

[snow hill]

never

[grim jackal]

want me to send you a 1080ti? give you like 10 fps more hopefully lol

[woeful quail]

They did horizontal 1.0 and vert 0.7 I think. It's for console joystick but got left in the PC version.

[tall pecan]

I just spent 3k coupons for mission that gave me 1k

[pliant sigil]

Don't you get a unique M14 if you manage to save it despite the spaghetti code working against you?

[deft bear]

genuinely not able to play with the default spawning system, is there anything I can tweak in the settings without having to fully mod my install and restart?

[wary orbit]

Driving a vehicle in the zone is about as smart as walking through a minefield with no knowledge of where the mines are.

[burnt wraith]

Lmao nah gonna upgrade anyway soon-ish hopefully I'll gain a singular FPS

[odd wadi]

I hated Zalissia anyway. Give me Cordon any day.

[grim jackal]

i made a difficulty rebalance mod that makes missions pay 6x for main, and 5x more for sidies, you dont lose money doing missions now. you farm it.

[late kernel]

Zalissya is bugged out anyway fuck them

[odd wadi]

Nice work, maybe missions will feel like worth it then!

[shadow sphinx]

if Monolith can take out IPSF at Sphere, they can easily roll over the rookies at Zal before you get there.

[pliant sigil]

I mean the entire point of Call of Pripyat was sending a secret agent into the Zone to discover, "Holy shit, anomalies are in the air and can take down helicopters. This is completely unexpected."

[wary orbit]

booooooo not my Stalker

[tall pecan]

without money glitch it is impossible to play lol, and this is after the patch

[rocky iris]

[silver cloak]

No, you're wrong, the point was that anomalies change their location after an emission

[grim jackal]

you think imma risk my ass for enough coupons to buy 5 rounds of 54r, 1 kolbasa and a sip of sidovorich's vodka flavoured spit? no.

[odd wadi]

I mean, that tracks with eastern european army INTELLIGENCE

[silver cloak]

They knew about anomalies and drew maps of them

Also some heli's were destroyed by Weapon#62

[digital vale]

oh no I must have 5x times paying quests to use my cheated in guns and shit

[wary orbit]

The OG Stalker experience is everyone needs you and you get to enjoy pain for it.

[hollow mirage]

is the patch up yet? im playing so i dont have time to look

[peak eagle]

Svarog already had the ability to detect anomalies a decade previously, whats to say they didn't have such tech installed into Ward vehicles to help them traverse the zone

[silver cloak]

1.0.2, yes

[grim jackal]

my experience is OG. my difficulty mod is hardcore. you die often and easily. money is harder to obtain, repairs are costly as they should be.

[odd wadi]

Which is also a developer oversight that doesn't really happen in Stalker 2...

[tall pecan]

i guess a cpu upgrade is needed to enjoy this game sigh

[silver cloak]

That's more of a technical limitation

[shy cliff]

any ideas what the Stalker2-Win64-Test.exe is in the new build?

[grim jackal]

you have a cpu bottleneck. for me i have a gpu bottleneck as my cpu is hardly utilised.

[odd wadi]

Due to a lack of skill/care/time?
Don't tell me UE5 can't move anomalies around if scripted to do so, but Xray engine can.

More likely it was a design decision so it'd be more interesting and cool to build stuff around the anomalies that fit the world.

[silver cloak]

Imagine doing a system that works like in Gamma with changing anomalies but also writing deadzones for anomalies so they would block relevant story points

[grim jackal]

BOOBER KURWA

[pliant sigil]

Does anyone else love the bubble anomalies? They're basically free artifact zones because they're near harmless.

[tall pecan]

yeah my cpu is low end while gpu is mid to high

[wary orbit]

is Bandit cannot feel for

[silver cloak]

X-ray can, yes, but in UE5 the system need to be developed from scratch (different programmin language). And no, im not defending GSC

[grim jackal]

dont think about upgrading while the game is lacking optimisation, it maybe wasteful.

[shadow sphinx]

DAMMIT random SVDMs spawning in my inv as I'm sprinting around

[peak eagle]

Poke the bubble, you can't resist

[tall pecan]

i just wanna grab some 5700X3D or something

[silver cloak]

I mean the main problem with UE5 is that they needed all that stuff they done for Xray be thrown out of the window because it was irrelevant

[odd wadi]

Ehh, I think it was a deliberate design decision given how much effort they put towards each anomaly spot and making it unique...

[grim jackal]

bro you are literally defending gsc and their lack of care and attention to the game with mechanics we had before, NO NVG, NO ALIFE, no ANOMALIES that move. not hating bro, just saying what it looks like.

[wanton arch]

It's a bug with zombies spawning nearby

[stable quarry]

@safe stream @limpid terrace Sorry i didn't see ya'lls messages, the name of that artifact is Ciliate

[wary orbit]

thats not really true though. they just need to place down a shitton of spawn loacations for anomalies and shuffle them every emission

[shadow sphinx]

of course it is. this wouldn't be stalker without such bugs that could easily be detected in play tesitng.

[silver cloak]

Yeah, i hate them too, i waited for Zalissya fix for 2 weeks, that's just how crooked the corporate world is

[grim jackal]

they can just randomise the coordinates while defining a limitation they cant go within ie towns/bases. its not hard, but they didnt think of that....

[odd wadi]

Yes, but if they did, they'd have to expand upon each area it could spawn, since each area is pretty well designed feature-wise around having that anomaly RIGHT THERE and lookin' cool

[silver cloak]

True, but map is very big, and they didnt have time, i think ( no nvg, binoculars, a lot of bugs )

[tall pecan]

anyone knows where are the guides in Zalissiya?

[serene girder]

Compass Icon on your PDA and Compass

[silver cloak]

It's where the Ward building is

[grim jackal]

he is in the church. to the right by the boss

[tall pecan]

binoculars are in the game files, i just saw them a bit ago in the items

[pliant sigil]

Know what would be sheer unadulterated suffering? If someone made a mod that made every single inch of Stalker 2's worldspace the shattered glass anomaly.

[silver cloak]

But they didn't deploy them (maybe a lack of testing)

[odd wadi]

I think lots of this stuff will end up being cut for DLC content later on

[brittle crystal]

can the yanov station trader make the curiass exo able to sprint?

[wanton arch]

Assuming a kharod with an acog 4x and a holemaker underbarrel shotgun, what second weapon should I use? I'm indecisive about a sniper or a lmg for chonky mutants

[wary orbit]

noone is asking them to change those anomalies around. but random grav or electro anomaly no. 12345 somewhere in garbage certainly could move/disapear/reapear/expand

[lime umbra]

no the curiass cant have sprint

[brittle crystal]

at all?

[lime umbra]

yep it cant sprint at all

[odd wadi]

Yep, atleast that'd make things interesting. More random non-artifact anomalies around, moving after emissions. CHECK!

[brittle crystal]

rip

[stable quarry]

roq collection

[grim jackal]

knipro is best ar str8 up. saiga 12k is good backup gun.

[dark matrix]

Tomorrow I will go from ryzen 5 2600 to ryzen 7 5700x3d and my bottleneck will finally become history

[silver cloak]

neuron activation

[spring jewel]

Saiga with threaded barrel firing slugs and with drum mag is hilarious

[grim jackal]

drum mag with darts destroys muties

[spring jewel]

big boomstick

[silver cloak]

And gun)))

[stable quarry]

sounds like it's a 50cal ak

[grim jackal]

it hurts though. i go out with 300 rounds, in 10 minutes im already 50% down of ammo lol

[wary orbit]

enjoy 5 FPS less

[deft bear]

game just feels cheesy with the enemny spawns, feels like ubisoft garbage

[spring jewel]

Basically

[woeful quail]

thought about doing the same from my 3600 but think I'll grit my teeth and save up another year for am5

[odd wadi]

laughs in Far Cry 2

[wanton arch]

I forgot about the drum mag for the saiga

[grim jackal]

THEM CHECKPOINT MOFOS MAN

Hey you!" stop! blapblapblap

[odd wadi]

Sure that's annoying, should've had a timer on those, but overall it's such a banger of a game.

[silver cloak]

Farcry 2 was peak

[grim jackal]

oh yeah. farcry 3 is one of my alltime favourites, i loved far cry 2. the graphics and fires were lovely.

[wary orbit]

Dude that eastern Checkpoint from Zalissya makes me wanna nuke the Zone every time i have to pass it

[stable quarry]

aside from the fuckin malaria

[pliant sigil]

I want to eventually get a Compass, Thunderberry, Hypercube, and two Liquid Rocks to equip at the same time.

[stable quarry]

and that weapons fell apart after a single mag

[silver cloak]

I love the fact that Farcry 2 doesn't give a SINGLE fuck about the player.

[grim jackal]

Gotta go get my pills!

[odd wadi]

It was ez, just go do the malaria mission when the pill case had only 1 pill left, never died from it then

[river lintel]

Can you use darts in a rifled barrel shotgun?

[wary orbit]

i found my compass in the Ribs anomaly

[peak eagle]

deadly africanized water

[grim jackal]

Midraid of a enemy base - Oops gotta go get my pills! in fc2 ur a damn junkie xD

[wanton arch]

If you mean the holemaker, you can't change the ammo, only buckshot

[woeful quail]

all I remember from Farcry 2 was the guards itching their nuts and saying "damn bitch, I should've worn a rubber"

[silver cloak]

Thats farcry 3))

[grim jackal]

yes, you can only not use buckshot in them.

[river lintel]

No I mean a shotgun witg the slug upgrade that preclude buckshot

[odd wadi]

Pillcase only ever emptied (showing 1 pill left); after a main mission, so it was EZ once you understood that.

[silver cloak]

In farcry 2 you walk to the guard and he is like: My name is Emumeuemueosas

[wanton arch]

Oh my fault I'm dumb

[grim jackal]

i played that game while smoking copious amounts of weed, same for far cry 3 lol so i didnt pay attention and figure that out

[odd wadi]

They also talked like 1.5X speed lol it was so bad.
Jackal is still my fav "badguy"

[frigid oracle]

dudes like, i smoke some weed to relax, them have a monster to balance, them take some opioid pills to feel better and do some crack so energize, perfectly balanced

[wanton arch]

I was reading in a website the stats for the different ammo, feels like expanding ammo is just worst then AP? Am I missing something?

[wary orbit]

wait there was another 8.4 GB update ? is there patchnotes anywhere?

[grim jackal]

injecting all the "Herbal medicines" 😄

[odd wadi]

Max Payne can relate

[river lintel]

This morning yeah

[wanton arch]

I tried using expanding vs AP against a mutant with the rhino and it took the same amount of shots

[grim jackal]

minor hotffix for like 7 quest fixes. nothing major really.

[wary orbit]

still need the notes

[silver cloak]

Man he was even profound than Vaas in his madness and world views

[silver cloak]

Id like to believe Jackal is Jack Carter from Farcry 1, that would be sick

[grim jackal]

vaas is one of the best antagonists ever. "LISTEN, LOOK AT ME, YOU ARE MY BITCH!"

[odd wadi]

Yeah it's basically confirmed that he's the inspiration for that character, but isn't truly him.

[frigid oracle]

i just use FMJ since its more lootable and cheaper

[silver cloak]

You think you are up there, in the sky.
You think you grabbed the life by it's pussy

[odd wadi]

I am de captan naoh!

[calm stone]

the duty vector slaps hard

[silver cloak]

Or smth like that, i played in russian

[frigid oracle]

but it was a pepe

[brittle crystal]

is the curiass the only exo you can just walk to without progressing the story?

[grim jackal]

w8 till you get a saiga12k and find the drum mag. you'll be tweaking your nipples with electrified crocodile clips and a 9v battery all night an day friend.

[silver cloak]

I like how Jason Brody is shown as literal madman no better than Vaas himself by the end of the game

[lime umbra]

yep

[calm stone]

same pen as a dnipro but on a vector instead

[calm stone]

I have it, it's very cool

[odd wadi]

He's much better. Jason won.

[grim jackal]

we snorted cave shrooms and had sex with a tribal leader lady who went amazonian gargantuan. we were trippin mad bawls

[silver cloak]

When update installs im gonna start a new game

[river lintel]

.45 vector shreds

[silver cloak]

And focus ENTIRELY on carry weight (light merc suit is my all)

[grim jackal]

ignore reason, snort fridge mould.

[frigid oracle]

as a wise tanker once said "Penetration!"

[river lintel]

What shotty has the best pen, the ram?

[frigid oracle]

eat random flowers fro. ur neighbours garden

[grim jackal]

saiga 12k offers best performance, the shotguns are all the same damage and pen wise i think but i might be wrong.

[silver cloak]

no, cpu, AHAHHAHAHA)))

[stable quarry]

LIBERTY OR DIAMOND EXOSUIT?

[grim jackal]

ooh whats this? a lovely bit of deadly nightshade? Dont mind if i do!

[silver cloak]

Im so hyped for new game, you could believe, i know all the good choices, all the best spots. Im gonna grab the zone by its throat

[silver cloak]

What do you like most weed or glowing rock?

[stable quarry]

i'll be waiting 6 months to a year for a new game personally

[grim jackal]

so sterling, you gonna say f you to the ward straight away then? as that makes the game harder.

[frigid oracle]

its like a lootbox u might get lucky or unlucky

[odd wadi]

Am I the only one that thinks there are 1 too many constantly enemy factions?

Monolith is a given and should be present.

IPSF is fluff; should be just Military.
The Ward?? it's basically just military though?

[grim jackal]

life is like a box of chocolates they say.... xD

[ashen crow]

Any way to turn on the power at the Railway Maintenance Station? Theres a button and two switches I cant use and Ive looked everywhere

[silver cloak]

Exactly

[river lintel]

You gonna save at the south gate and walk to the ribs until you get a compass at the start lmao

[wary orbit]

What i need is a freeroam with working A-Life so i can go sit on my favorite sniping spot and just watch the Zone go wild around me while sipping on my Vodka and fiddling with my favorite artefact to keep me company

[frigid oracle]

u never know what u gonna get

[silver cloak]

I dont wanna use stuff like that

[river lintel]

Fair

[sage totem]

Guys, is ||Solder ||bugged in the mission "||The Hornet Nest||"?
I ||spared him before||, but when|| I save him from the Monolith soldiers the objective "help solder" doesn't complete nor can I talk to him.||

[grim jackal]

the faction power change was confusing, i find spark and ward are confusing in a sense, you have the ipsf who are border force security, we have no military anymore which is strange. like it confused me a bit.

[silver cloak]

It takes away from my immersion, i dont like to grind for artefacts, i like the random of thrill of "WHAT DO I GET SHOW ME"

[stable quarry]

It'd be kinda tacky for UKRAINIAN devs to villify the UKRAINIAN MILITARY during a war ya know, so they made the IPSF and the WARD are personal security for SIRCAA, they're closer to UNISG from Anomaly/GAMMA

[river lintel]

Soon brother

[odd wadi]

I feel like I'm reading CIA files..

REDACTED

[pliant sigil]

On my first playthrough, I do everything legit and relatively blind. Second playthrough, I start sequence breaking.

[frigid oracle]

is because of the war they didnt want to put military in it

[grim jackal]

i cbf to click your 5 spoiler messages, thats just no...

[odd wadi]

Those are just some reasoning, doesn't refute that they could've wrapped up Ward/SIRCAA/IPSF/Military into one threat, alongside Monolith/Bandits

[river lintel]

And even if that's the case, the zone is kinda its own thing anyways. Make a subcommittee handle it

[grim jackal]

thats just confusing as the exclusion zone still exists and is protected, just they arent in direct contact in game now unless you go hard south to cordon and the military border base.

[stable quarry]

yea but the IPSF also serve as security for the STC MALACHITE faction, a rival batch of scientists to SIRCAA

[frigid oracle]

i mean the real war, they didny want put the ukranian military in a spotlight

[grim jackal]

ooooooh i get you man.

[odd wadi]

Yeah, it's a bit crowded tho

[stable quarry]

more factions is good, and more rival scientist factions with their own mercs and security forces is good

[grim jackal]

those are ipsf? i thought they were mercs cus of the badge being blue lmao

[river lintel]

No sense in saying "current occupied military bad" when it's currently doing the lords work irl

[limpid terrace]

thx

[stable quarry]

nah Malachite's goons are IPSF

[frigid oracle]

ipsf would be the military but now they are like a nato force ruled by other countries, warden is like duty now

[stable quarry]

but Malachite ALSO employs mercs and Stalkers, hence why the IPSF guards don't attack anyone unless hostile.
Doesn't change the fact that that whole base is fuckin red for me

[odd wadi]

Maybe I'm smoothbrained but I just got real confused and annoyed. Especially since there's no way to identify anyone really, no tags, no binocs,..

Taking and selling tags ought to be a thing.
Bounties for them too...

[grim jackal]

i feel like the factions need reskinning to be unique, the ipsf look like mercs to me. 😦

[frigid oracle]

i think sircaa would be ecologists

[nimble badger]

is it just me, or does the || Faust || fight lag like hell?

[pliant sigil]

Random question, what’s the best armor that still has a separate helmet slot?

[stable quarry]

you might have actually been seeing mercs, the Malachite base has Loners, Mercs and IPSF there

[sage tulip]

Anyone else get skyrim vibes from the games ambient music while exploring

[uncut gorge]

So arent we supposed to be getting stories around the campfires? All ive heard is cringy dad jokes. Anybody hear anything different?

[grim jackal]

not being able to identify a group is annoying, like hello are u friendly or hostile cus ur shooting shit and im scuuuured

[limpid terrace]

my god this mission is hard all my gear is red now

[odd wadi]

Yeah, then I have to get into COMPASS range to know if they'll shoot me next..

[alpine swan]

hi guys, I have seen some youtuber use 5.45 soviet caliber rifle with NATO M203 ubgl. Do you by chance know how this rifle is called?

[frigid oracle]

thats normal, wars have like 10% friendly fire rates its stupidly high

[grim jackal]

the guys at the gate with camo pattern on their tac shirts/vests and they have a somewhat blue badge

[river lintel]

X7 suit, huge spoilers tho

[odd wadi]

And 10% of that is intended 😄

Research the origin of "Fragged"

[frigid oracle]

thats why u have a armor backpannel

[grim jackal]

vietnam baby

[silver cloak]

War... War never changes

[stable quarry]

These 2?
They seem to just be Malachite, they have no patches whatsoever

[pliant sigil]

Fun friendly fire fact: All M1 Abrams tanks lost during Operation: Desert Storm were from friendly fire or crew sabotage

[torpid relic]

i just killed Hog

[grim jackal]

noo, outside on the road the ones guarding the entry @stable quarry

[wanton arch]

I think you mean the kharod that you can change from 5.56 to 5.45 with a modification

[frigid oracle]

during pike and shot formation wars they would only make front plates sometimes cause was formation battle

[tall pecan]

what does this artifact do

[stable quarry]

But see here that patch is the IPSF patch, and this is the standard patch for like 90% of the goons here

[obsidian heath]

That is the Kharod

[odd wadi]

When the enemy is so incapable, that in order to make shit interesting you have to get creative

[stable quarry]

closer look, it even SAYS IPSF on it. Didn't notice that

[grim jackal]

yeah its not them so must be mercs i saw. totally different look and badge on the guys i see

[silver cloak]

Plus stealth when sleep

[tall pecan]

https://game8.co/games/STALKER-2-Heart-of-Chornobyl/archives/485881

[wanton arch]

I might be crazy but I feel like the holo is too bright in the middle and it obscures my sight picture more

[grim jackal]

yeah its one of the worst holos ive seen in a game period. i cant stand it and im a whore for eotechs.

[tall pecan]

meh, useless

[wanton arch]

I can't use it for the love of me, I'd rather go irons

[alpine swan]

thanks guys

[peak eagle]

Get the Weird Ball and Water

[grim jackal]

at current i use a knipro with irons for close quarters, i have the saiga 12k with russian 2x for any ranged engagement, and i slap the ru 2x on the knipro if needbe, or use an acog.

[tall pecan]

i have weird ball, what is water

[grim jackal]

the red dot collimators and holosight have horrible ghosting its like using a shitty chinese led "holographic" for airsoft.

[wanton arch]

The sight like glows red, it's so bad, specially cause I'm used to r6 holo 😭

[peak eagle]

increases carry capacity to 120kg

[silver cloak]

With stealth rebalnce mod - very nice

[stable quarry]

where's the weird water

[tall pecan]

holy shit ok imma find it

[silver cloak]

Zaton, in the arch anomaly

[stable quarry]

yea i'm running around and i don't see any merc guards outside

[peak eagle]

Go here at night, the artifact will be near the glowing orbs

[stable quarry]

ah the glowing lights where you gotta find the one not moving?

[obsidian heath]

WANDERINGlights anomaly

[silver cloak]

shit it was not moving? That would made my search a lot easier

[grim jackal]

following the road entry to malachite from the east, there is a checkpoint with 2-3 guards in camo armed geared by some rusty cars and fences. those are the ones im on aboot

[silver cloak]

Unmodded saiga or modded sledgehammer? What do you choose

[wanton arch]

Highly recommend making a save before 22:00, cause the artifact spawns randomly in the area, it might spawn bugged so you just reload for another spawn location

[grim jackal]

saiga. every time.

[peak eagle]

I was about to mention this

[obsidian heath]

Ram-2 Every time xD

[serene girder]

Holy crapola. 1.02 already? I haven't even managed to get 1.01 Downloaded.

[wanton arch]

Ran around for 2 hours with the voices in my head talking, I thought I was gonna go insane

[obsidian heath]

https://tenor.com/view/kekwtf-gif-18599263

[grim jackal]

its a 8gb hotfix for like 7 quest fixes. it came out surprisingly fast

[sweet wolf]

what's the difference between Readiness and time to aim in upgrades?

[odd wadi]

it's only 9GB or something, much smaller

[peak eagle]

Not gonna lie, you spending around 2 hours is already insane lol

[grim jackal]

go aim the pkm, it takes 2 seconds to get the irons up. this is time to aim. you aim the gun faster so its ready to kill faster.

[serene girder]

Download size of 9GB or 9GB Patched with a several hundred MB Download? Cause I got two HOURS for the rest of this patch still. Yes. I'm on bad internet.

[obsidian heath]

Readyness is swapping TO the weapon aimspead is bringing it up to your shoulder

[peak eagle]

Readiness is time to pull out your gun, Time to aim is for ADS

not crucial for the most part

[wanton arch]

What's the dispersion stat? I couldn't find anything online

[sweet wolf]

so for sniper rifle aiming speed is best, right?

[obsidian heath]

Readyness always better cause if you NEED the extra aimspeed you are better off hipfiring in almost all cases.

[grim jackal]

no, as you should be scoped in anyway. but it depends on your playstyle really.

[wanton arch]

I'd say readiness is good cause you take the sniper from the shoulder, takes longer then other weapons generally

[river lintel]

There isn't a mag conversation for the ram is there

[gusty plaza]

Where can I get better detector, anyone knows?

[grim jackal]

aiming speed is better for a gun you will be lowering and raising a lot, a sniper you wont be unless you're some cod 360 no scoper doing a twattok video.

[obsidian heath]

No cause the ram doesn't have a mag its tube fed but it really dont need it.

[grim jackal]

go to garbage heap, quest from guys at the right of the bar, go to second stash, rob it blind. enjoy the hilka detecter, tier 3 detector.

[river lintel]

Slag heap, vodka mission. Don't steal he gives you a bear

[river lintel]

What's its capacity? I saw someone saying it has like 5 vollies

[obsidian heath]

Buy a bear at yaniv the other better one than that is locked behind story progression

[grim jackal]

lol i stole from all 3 stashes and murdered him at the last one, his friends didnt know it was me and we celebrated his life and death.

[wanton arch]

Is recoil control better then lower dispersion even if my accuracy stat is maxed on a gun?

[obsidian heath]

7 for a total of 14 rounds dwarved only by the saiga drum

[grim jackal]

recoil control means your gun wont climb as high. these things depend on your playstyle.

[river lintel]

Oh lmao thats great. Might replace my cracker

[peak eagle]

Sidequest at the Cement Factory allows you to get the Bear detector as well

[obsidian heath]

its fucking INCREADIBLE

[grim jackal]

i want recoil control on my 7.62 knipro, i want spread reduction on smgs and 5.56 and 5.45.

[wanton arch]

So dispersion is only for hip fire accuracy?

[obsidian heath]

https://medal.tv/games/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-heart-of-chornobyl/clips/jbuXO0y3f1OIZjgLd?invite=cr-MSxTSmUsMjIxOTE0MDA0LA It is VERY VERY VERY good gun

https://medal.tv/games/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-heart-of-chornobyl/clips/j9xNiQR7nS9RuGK0n?invite=cr-MSxNUFosMjIxOTE0MDA0LA

[grim jackal]

its dispersion = spread. your bullets spread when shot out of barrel in hip and while aimed. think dude. what do you want more, bullets in laser line, or less recoil. its quite simple.

smgs spread like a motherfucker

[river lintel]

Which round are you using in it?

[pure meadow]

anyone know where you can get a petal artifact? need for quest

[grim jackal]

anomalies

[river lintel]

Petal is grav anomalies iirc

[wanton arch]

I thought the bullets go where you aim in this game, compared to the older trilogy where the bullets go all over the place. That's why I thought dispersion was useless outside hipfire

[grim jackal]

its the same mechanic in nearly every game, the bullets intend to go straight but they have what is called deviation, aka spread.

[sweet wolf]

is it worth to use Whip over regular SVU?

[shadow sphinx]

How does BUCKET have more range than my fully modded Dnipro!? rrrrrrreeeeeEEEEEEE!

[grim jackal]

9x18 is super op and broken.

[river lintel]

My vector has more range than my fully modded vintar

[wanton arch]

Style >>

[pure meadow]

says fire on gamerguides.com is that correct?

[obsidian heath]

Basic bitch buckshot. never once put a slug though it. 3 shots to take down buttsuckers

[grim jackal]

if you use single shot you wont get deviation while adsing and standing still. if you move you will get it, if you hipfire you get a lot of it.

[river lintel]

Then I don't recall correctly lol

[river lintel]

Single shot makes most weapons feel true to life

[obsidian heath]

Also thats WITH https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/494

[wanton arch]

I understand now, thanks for explaining. Didn't make sense but it's cause I mostly use single shot or shotgun so I didn't notice much before

[river lintel]

Imagine what darts do to them. Now to find one

[tall pecan]

so i can get the weird water only at night?...

[peak eagle]

yes

[obsidian heath]

Yaniv 🙂

[shadow sphinx]

after 22:00

[grim jackal]

im a single shot dmr kinda guy. i place my shots well and save ammo. plus i like the accuracy control and it trains me to go for headshots and retrain my irons/sight faster and more reliably.

[shadow sphinx]

pop a quick save right before 22:00, run around like a headless chicken, reload if can't find

[wanton arch]

Spawns after 22:00 and despawns at 04:00

[tall pecan]

bruh, i arrived at 10am

[shadow sphinx]

sit down and admire the view I mean smell

[river lintel]

All roads point to yaniv it seems

[shadow sphinx]

also we need a camping mod with time advancement

[tall pecan]

how do i pass the time...

[obsidian heath]

Yaniv is great

[shadow sphinx]

however you like

[wanton arch]

Yaniv is the place, only thing it doesn't have is a lot of ammo variety

[grim jackal]

yes, with kolbasa roasting and snugging muties right before emission hits 🙂

[obsidian heath]

Sleep

[atomic badger]

Why are there SO MANY DIFFERENT ARTIFACTS! This is not even all of them....

[shadow sphinx]

i recommend examining the grass

[river lintel]

I also need to find a vendor that can convert my coupons into darts

[umbral prawn]

if i use the mod that lets you sell broken stuff will that make hte game too one sided and over power me or will it still be challenging

[grim jackal]

85% of them are useless weak shit or anti-radiation. idk why they bothered with so much trash unless they are giving us artifact merging/crafting/mutating to make better ones.

[shadow sphinx]

you can sell broken guns in rostok without a mod, it's part of the game

[warped monolith]

1.0.1 is 13 GB
1.0.2 is another 8 GB

[obsidian heath]

Yaniv also sometimes has special ammo same with rostok

[tall pecan]

i guess imma admire my drip and my guitar

[umbral prawn]

@shadow sphinx then why is there a mod

[shadow sphinx]

the mod just lets you grind cash faster

[atomic badger]

and it makes it hell on Artifact collection quests. Imagine having this kind of stash of them, yet you get a mission to bring some and its one you never found yet.....

[grim jackal]

cus the mod maker didnt know there is ONE vendor for selling broken shit to. or cus they wanted more choice.

[shadow sphinx]

becuse it's only one vendor in rostok that buys broken guns, and some people want all vendors to buy them because it means less travel time

[umbral prawn]

@shadow sphinx but still didnt answer my question

[true tangle]

who painted my mutants? Is this from a mod or is that a shader bug?

[wanton arch]

Artifacts felt more special the older games, I feel like it's much easier to find them in this game

[grim jackal]

see above

[peak eagle]

Believe it was like 75 artifacts in total

[obsidian heath]

Shaders. I had it too

[atomic badger]

shader feature

[royal hollow]

he did answer your question.

[river lintel]

Rostok is hit or miss often for me

[shadow sphinx]

maybe you haven't noticed but almost everything balance wise is worse than the originals

[umbral prawn]

@shadow sphinx but does it ruine the game will i get too much cash fo rinstance

[merry plaza]

Flashlight customizer mod probably, check the mod page comments

[obsidian heath]

Yeah same. best places I seach for ammo is sultansk and yaniv

[grim jackal]

no link?

[atomic badger]

that is just insane, most of them have duplicates in terms of what they do, pisses me off so hard

[merry plaza]

Google

[plain valve]

Y'all was I super lucky to get an ak with a scope in the first zone or am I just gamma brained on good guns

[wanton arch]

I noticed the AI is just dumb as rocks and shoots through walls

[grim jackal]

there are about 8 useful artifacts. and there is no MAXIMUM electric resist artifact in game, we have everything else but that, the next best is strong electro resist.

whoever designed the artifacts is not very bright. imo.

[wanton arch]

I remember the first time I found a controller in shadow of chernobyl, I shat my pants

[atomic badger]

Brilliant, so they deciced to design 60ish pieces of junk

[grim jackal]

yep!

[obsidian heath]

Why? you can get the same artifact in multiple differnt anomaly field types. if you get a duplicate then earn that bread.

[grim jackal]

there are no doubt about 40 artifacts that are weak junk, there are about 10 i think which do the same thing. weak anti rad resistance.

[atomic badger]

It is hell, when you are trying to find specific ones for a mission, there is such a wast array of them, that it becomes almost impossible to have the right one

[sharp pendant]

Who is this I wonder

[grim jackal]

if uw anna know how to balance artifacts, 2 weak = 1 medium, 2 medium = 1 strong, 2 strong = 1 maximum.

[river lintel]

8n a perfect world....

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal does the broken gun sales mod make me too rich for lack of a better word

[peak eagle]

All the good ones

[wanton arch]

It's a scripted one right, there's no way it's the same tunnel I think

[obsidian heath]

Thats free money then. It wouldn't be a grind if you were just given everything. that makes finding the one you are looking for that much more special. I really fail to see the issue

[atomic badger]

oh yeah, and the asimetrical scalling of the "bonuses" they give, lovely

[grim jackal]

lol no. broken guns sell for not a lot. its extra cash but you wont get rich.

[shadow sphinx]

Wanna know how to balance artifacts? slot Weird Water and never worry about artifart rads again

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal is this folder correct ~mods

[fringe jewel]

if i save the dude in cordon elevator
where does he go ?
he got a unique gun

[river lintel]

Liquid rock

[atomic badger]

Again, this is my current collection, and I had the right artifact twice, out of about 10 arti fetch missions I took

[shadow sphinx]

I haven't found that one yet. found all the hypercompasscubes tho it seems.

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal is this folder correct ~mods

[frozen flame]

is there a mod for traders actually giving u good value for shit

[grim jackal]

it can be called ~mods or mods. either work.

[grim jackal]

add steam run parameter to the game -fileopenlog and all mods will open regardless of name.

[pliant sigil]

Guys, there may be something wrong with my shadow.

[shadow sphinx]

looooongkidneys

[atomic badger]

In terms of them being "free money" well they are barely worth anything. rare artifact worth 36k? Here is 5k, now get out of here stalker....

[frozen flame]

nice arms

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal i am on xbox not steam ...

[grim jackal]

oh well why are you even here lol

[gray eagle]

sadness my game is just booting to a black screen

[river lintel]

If you have a rads maximum on you with liquid rock, does environmental rads start to pile up again?

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal xbox game pass

[grim jackal]

consoles get no mods bro

oh right sorry, well idfk i dont use that shit. sell it and get it on steam like a real gamer

[warped monolith]

this fucking loud-ass tinnitus effect

[warped monolith]

bro's shadow went to the shadow realm

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal steam launche ris awful uses ram and you cant even close steam you can close about any other launcher on earth besides steam

[river lintel]

But thst costs money

[frozen flame]

my fuckin ears

[digital vale]

you can still use mods with gamepass on pc

[grim jackal]

sounds like a you problem, as millions of us dont have that issue

[sweet wolf]

is it worth to keep

• Dnipro
• SVU
• Saiga
  or should I drop dnipro if I have 20 mag SVU?

[grim jackal]

KEEP ALL YOU SAUSAGE.

[digital vale]

dnipro and saiga are rly good

[shadow sphinx]

you only need Skif's Pistol tbh

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal you cant close steam when you play a game go check your task manager now you will see it .. you are just used to not register it .. after tens of years i just recognized it

[wanton arch]

All of them are good lol

[grim jackal]

dnipro is best ar in game lol. saiga is best shotgun in game.

[shadow sphinx]

Skif's Pistol speed run any% when?

[vital moss]

yo chat, any noticeable fps increase since the patches?

[wanton arch]

In the zone, straight up stalking it. And by "it", haha. Well. Lets justr say. My artefect.

[digital vale]

No

[nimble badger]

mine seems to be more stable

[sweet wolf]

yep but I wonder if I need AR if I have semi auto sniper with 20 mag and top shotgun

[grim jackal]

why the fuck would i want to close steam while its running a game??? it controls the game files??? hello thats like saying u cant delete ur brain when its in use.

pepega much m8

[atomic badger]

lel, tried to sell my full collection....dozens of hours of exploartion is worth....fuck all

[wanton arch]

Just buy the 4x for the svu and you don't need the AR anymore

[vital moss]

hmm ok

[empty whale]

so how many quests are left after visions of truth?

[digital vale]

11

[obsidian heath]

Fuck all he says. (twice his current dozens of hours of gameplay)

[sweet wolf]

i have the Whip (unique variant) and I don't see option to swap the scope

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal i added the perfomance mod and it ran worse ? or no difference

[wanton arch]

You slap the 4x on top of it, no swapping

It goes back to 8x when you remove it

[atomic badger]

i went through 1mil coupons two days, and about 13 hours of game time ago, this really is not worth all that much

[obsidian heath]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/503

[sweet wolf]

wow didn't know that. definitely will try than\

[sharp pendant]

Anyone know where to find the last two numbers of the safe combo in that barracks with all the force traps?

[obsidian heath]

Soooooo twice the ammount you can make in 61 hours? 😛

[wanton arch]

I just use a mod to reduce repair costs and get all guns on the ground to sell, I'm at almost at 1mil lol

[atomic badger]

whops, was wrong on the days, messy week, anyway

[grim jackal]

the devs changed the economy in 1.01 and all these mods for economy were made before the patch. so naturally if you dont test things out and if modders dont adjust their mods, the economy is broken in some instances.

[umbral prawn]

@depleted some of these mods have a folder .. do add the folder or the files .all in root folder

[grim jackal]

I was there when it was 1.1% feelseliteman

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal some of these mods have a folder .. do add the folder or the files .all in root folder

[obsidian heath]

1.1 percent!

[gray eagle]

bro what do I do my game just shows a black screen

[grim jackal]

all .pak files and other files go into the mods folder. mods or ~mods is your root folder for the raw files like .pak and .uasson etc

[atomic badger]

I went through a lot of money overall, what I am complaining about the fact, that 40 artifacts without moding the prices, that took so long to gather, are not even worth 200k

[obsidian heath]

Yeah I'd honestly get the arti price increase makes arti hunting uber exciting

[alpine swan]

what is the best way to take Chimera down?

[wanton arch]

Then you spend 100k modding an end game armor

[toxic comet]

one more

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal so no folders in the mod folder

[obsidian heath]

https://medal.tv/games/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-heart-of-chornobyl/clips/jbuXO0y3f1OIZjgLd?invite=cr-MSxodlUsMjIxOTE0MDA0LA Like this!

[grim jackal]

SOME MODS HAVE OPTIONS. you need to read and look. if the files are .inis they dont go into the mods folder they go into the engine binaries folder ie if they are called engine.ini and gamesettings.ini. they go into %localappdata%stalker 2/engine/binaries

[atomic badger]

wish it was just 100k, currently need like 150ish for exo, 70ish for MG, about the same for M14

[wanton arch]

Skifs pistol costing like 4k to full mod and still head shooting end game enemies

[atomic badger]

might be wrong on the MG, checked that only once, but it will be expensive

[untold night]

can't even run stalker 2

https://tenor.com/view/pedro-pascal-mandalorian-laugh-cry-gif-21495683

[peak eagle]

sacrifice someone to the zone

[wanton arch]

Me running it on my 1660super without any shadows

[grim jackal]

performance sucks donkeys balls for lots of us. we gotta wait.

[tall pecan]

whats up with all these freedom soldiers in zaton

[untold night]

I waited 10 days for it to install

[grim jackal]

they run the place now.

[untold night]

hotel net suck balls

[untold night]

fair, tbf IDK what I expected, I meet the min requirements with my pc but not the recommended

[wanton arch]

Who up stalking they zone

[grim jackal]

i meet the rec spec with my gpu, my other hardware surpasses it and i get shit performance in built up areas. unplayable.

[sharp pendant]

Found it, one of the notes said "I hope the private is doing ok out there" so I figured out its not in the same building

[tall pecan]

a-life trying to work? 🥹 it was empty when i came here, they just kept coming

[plain lagoon]

I'm highly considering a skif pistol only run next playthrough.

The amount of shit you could carry doing it would be legendary

[untold night]

I can't get through the wall at the beginning without dropping to about 5 frames a second

[merry plaza]

Mountains of 9x18

[grim jackal]

A-life may get stuck, they spawn in and wont move until they are triggered to do so by proximity or quest updates, ive seen entire groups just standing in one spot until i get near then they scatter.

[plain lagoon]

If only you could rechamber it to .45

But not realistic unfortunately

[peak eagle]

I see you're trying to find the code to the safe there?

[sharp pendant]

found, yeah

[peak eagle]

It's a 3 part code

[tall pecan]

guys hear m...

[peak eagle]

Begone freedomer

[sweet wolf]

is it worth to keep some buckshot on me? I seen that slug is way better against mutants

[grim jackal]

on lowest settings?

[untold night]

yeeeeep

[grim jackal]

buckshot is good vs mutants until you get dart rounds, then buckshot is shit.

[untold night]

I got a potato lap top, as of this year anyway

[tall pecan]

it is such a setting, it appeared in freedom POI as well. all Freedom soldiers around

[umbral prawn]

DO any of you want a free play omde for this game? maybe after hte ass2life gets good

[untold night]

before it was actually a really good laptop, now its just "past its lifetime"

[dark matrix]

1 week in and we already have many good mods

[grim jackal]

yes many of us would like freeroam like just to live out the zone. i really do. the quests suck and i just wanna slay and explore and do some gangbanging with factional warfare.

[umbral prawn]

@untold night thats such a cute name... lillybabylilly...

@grim jackal very good i also wish there was good GOOD pve extraction shooters

[untold night]

what-

[gray eagle]

destiny 2 player detected

[grim jackal]

I believe grok will work on stalker 2 once gamma 1.0 is done. but i might be wrong.

he seemed very disappointed with it.

[untold night]

indeed, tho I just took a few month hiatus, really liking the solar punk area I've come back too with lil Eido tho

[umbral prawn]

@gray eagle d1 WAS AMAZING when d2 came it became just a MMO completely it quit all the good quests and directed gameplay ... half the time you dont know what you have to do in d2 its just raids raids raids .. aids i say

[obsidian heath]

His own modpack ruined the game for him

[grim jackal]

i doubt it was that tbh. more like developers bad shitty choices.

[pseudo jacinth]

105 hours in i got my first ending

[umbral prawn]

COMPLIING SHADERS will that ever be fixed what games should take 4 minutes or more to start

[grim jackal]

if ur game is on a slow storage device it takes a while.

[tall pecan]

do npcs sleep at night

[untold night]

at least its not halo infinite Shaders talking half an hour to load

[obsidian heath]

#╓☢stalker2™-chat-not-gamma-keep-waiting message

[grim jackal]

no they dont get in bed and go to sleep, they go into a standing idle animation

[toxic comet]

weird water found xD

[peak eagle]

60 more years

[wanton arch]

it was fixed for me after update it only did it once

[grim jackal]

ive stalked rostok hoping for a night time raid and they dont sleep.

[steady path]

Hey I am on the road to Rostok and approached a group of people shooting an invisible enemy on the pipes. I cant seem to kill it though. Any advice?

[glacial bay]

||https://streamable.com/imm2dg - wtf ? 😆||

[peak eagle]

I don't think you should piss off rostok

[gray eagle]

Compiling shaders is pretty normal for most games on UE5, its not a bug its a feature

[grim jackal]

just keep moving. dont get involved.

[knotty spruce]

bro thinks he's a model

[peak eagle]

Yes there's the wilheim scream and body

[obsidian heath]

I didnt know a fucking dude fell out xD I heard the scream but never saw the guy xD

[plain lagoon]

They are freedomers, clearly they are just on drugs.

[grim jackal]

I want to because 2 of the noobs are blocking the bar door, and its my signature fuck up of stalker soc raiding rostok lol

[glacial bay]

😆

[peak eagle]

Don't forget to collect the weird bolt from the tornado

[tall pecan]

ok how do i found it, i couldnt figure out which one it is

[gray eagle]

But yea unironically Gamma ruined S2 for alot of ppl

[grim jackal]

bro he landed right on top of me, it was hilarious.

[glacial bay]

How?

[toxic comet]

drunk water give carry boost

[wanton arch]

like he said "luckily its all addressable" besides alife being the main thing missing to make the open world feel more alive mutants really need some kind of loot lol

[ashen crow]

So is it really AP for mutants and HP for humans? Im still thinking GAMMA rules

[peak eagle]

the static one usually, it'll be right beside an orb

[knotty spruce]

where even is it? my detector didn't find anything and i did the container parkour course a few times over

[grim jackal]

go into the eye of the tornado and spam F

[pseudo jacinth]

once again the reason why i stopped playing gamma and replayed the trilogy

[wanton arch]

but i think theres a mod that enables mutant loot?

[obsidian heath]

Mutant loot is a mod already.

[peak eagle]

The crane that goes up a 75 incline, stay on it and enter the tornado, the weird bolt usually flies on the right side

[toxic comet]

more to the right side near that small cliff

[gray eagle]

Good choice

[grave oar]

is there a mod that renames all the guns to their real names?

[grim jackal]

gamma didnt ruin anything, people ruined their own expectations of the game comparing a project made by fans vs devs who pumped and dumped the game design 12 years prior.

[wanton arch]

yeah i havent installed it tho bcuz there was something abt uninstalling being not so easy, but they should make that an official thing

[wanton arch]

I had to do the whole parkour circuit inside the tornado for it to spawn

[obsidian heath]

I agree

[tall pecan]

here right side?

[pseudo jacinth]

yapper

[umbral prawn]

does it take minutes for you guys for the game to load all the GAME in

[peak eagle]

It's a buggy spawn, so save before you enter the area just incase

[gray eagle]

I managed to get to sidor before leaving the lesser zone :3

[umbral prawn]

i mean after loading

[stable quarry]

100% upgraded Falcon, SEVA I, and SIRCAA SSP armor compared to each other, all 3 have all possible upgrades given via console commands.
Personally I'd take the Falcon armor over all of them but the SEVA I is superior if you're limiting yourself to legal upgrades.
The Falcon and SEVA I are the best non-exosuit armors in the base game, the SIRCAA SSP is neat and would be pretty good for exploring anomalies if you have it from the legendary/deluxe edition but i prefer the SEVA I for its general usefulness

[wanton arch]

but tbh i have 30 hours already and even tho its alot of walking i do enjoy the world its pretty if its more alive would be perfect :3

[fringe jewel]

nice

[obsidian heath]

Stay farther down the crane when you get hit. try the lower half then run up to the frontmost edge of the tornado while inside. If you wait too late for the first wall to knock you down you miss the arti

[grim jackal]

there are multiple types of seva suit you can get as well btw. one is upgraded by the old tech of freedom.

[peak eagle]

Whats funny is that the Sewn On Pockets for the Seva-I is nearby Yantar too where you can find it

[glacial bay]

You joking?

[knotty spruce]

it didn't ever cross my mind to let the tornado hit me, seems even more dangerous up there than on the ground

[peak eagle]

Seva-I is the best for non-RNG looting

[grim jackal]

no, literally that is how you get it the tornado sucks you up and you get it by chance if you're me. or by knowing like many other people get told.

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal how do i add shortcuts to other stuff .. i just have two shortcut available

[peak eagle]

the whole eye of the storm bit, where its the least dangerous in the middle

[grim jackal]

what do you mean?

[toxic comet]

crosshair is aiming at the spot i found it

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal i just have shortcut for medical and some other but the rest dont have shotcuts and i cant even assign for them

[wanton arch]

Also why is the laser not pointing where the dot is??? I aimed with the laser one time and missed all my shots

[stable quarry]

i'd agree, it has higher radiation resistance than the Falcon, the falcon has to sacrifice a lead lined pocket to get a 5th pocket for artifacts so it ends up with only having 1 lead lined pocket in the non-cheated armor (i'm using cheated armor) so you can't stuff as many max rad legendary artifacts in your face as you can with the SEVA I

[grim jackal]

the tornado can fling you on top of the crane. i was hoping to use it to get past the train barrier lol

[glacial bay]

Ah oke xD

[peak eagle]

It's all an illusion

[stable quarry]

but if you're cheating and using console commands to take ALL the upgrades, the Falcon is better than the SEVA I

[toxic comet]

wont work i gave it a shot

[grim jackal]

yeah same lol i gave up after 20 minutes

[frozen flame]

real

[toxic comet]

but still can cross it but dev added monoliths sniper at that spot now invinsible

[tall pecan]

i still cant find it 😭

[peak eagle]

https://youtu.be/U4Dqzivn41o?feature=shared

[wanton arch]

Might have spawned in a bugged location, I'd recommend just reloading a save or waiting for the next day 22:00

Rather do that then spend the whole anomaly time running around looking

[grim jackal]

the artifact spawns in at 10pm

[tacit glacier]

One random thing to note.
Apparently it causes the game to crash during emissions

[wanton arch]

I had my game crashing during emissions after getting the bolt

[wanton arch]

Yep

[glacial bay]

Even in stash?

[grim jackal]

whoopsie, looks like you turn into goku goin super saiyan during emissions with the bolt on you lol

[wanton arch]

Yes for me

[grim jackal]

nah its fine in stash for me.

[tall pecan]

i reloaded earlier save

[wanton arch]

There's a mod that fixes it but it kinda breaks the bolt so you can't use the mod and the bolt at the same time

[tall pecan]

i will try it again

[peak eagle]

We should've gotten the mods to pin the mod that helps people with emission crashes and the weird bolt

[wanton arch]

Hopefully it spawns in a good spot now 🙏

[peak eagle]

@haughty sierra
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/507?tab=description
Pin this so that it might help those who are stuck with perpetual emission crashes

I got you

No need, now we wait till the gooner/tarkov scav brainrot comes through

[obsidian heath]

Dont worry. we are in the discord that will make it happen

On another note.
I get 80 FPS in Zalissya now without framegen

[sweet wolf]

okay, now I can flex a little with my gear xD

no svdm? why u do dis 😦

my freedom bros died at the hands of snorks this time after reload 😔

[nocturne sigil]

hey guys, i have a problem with a sidequest in zalissya, i cannot enter the guards building, any idea how to fix it ?

[dusky aurora]

they were too stoned to aim properly

[lime umbra]

Owned zoned

[shadow sphinx]

that quest can't be fixed

[nocturne sigil]

everyone had a problem with it ?

[woeful quail]

forget Zalisya brother, 'tis a silly place

[sweet wolf]

yep, there's not really anything better, ye?

[obsidian thistle]

the current fit

[woeful quail]

it's bugged for everyone, it has no impact on the story so just move on

[nocturne sigil]

yeah but i like doing sidequest

[peak eagle]

Doubt there'll be anything else much to improve on

[sweet wolf]

I like that small 20 round SVU

[summer vault]

absolutely fuck this game, it deleted my save after 6 hours of gameplay what a total piece of shit

[shadow sphinx]

only 6 hours? those are rookie numbers

[summer vault]

6 hours of my time that was wasted

[tall pecan]

I love you, i got it after one try

[grim jackal]

6 hours? lol thats nothing rookie.

[shadow sphinx]

isn't the point of vidya games to waste time

have I been doing it wrong all these years bros

[grim jackal]

we are spending time that others consider wasteful/wasted

[peak eagle]

Normally one doesn't appreciate their already wasted 6 hours actually being wasted

[pseudo storm]

Godspeed everyone trying to get through the bugs on this one.

[nocturne sigil]

T-T

[tall pecan]

wait it gives you permanent drunk effect noooooo :((((

[grim jackal]

many of these acheives are broken for people cus the quest flags are broken. my save is scuffed like that.

[wanton arch]

Got the achievement, moved 500 meters away, zalissya fell anyway

[summer vault]

youre missing the point, why play again so i can tread through awful voice acted cutscenes and follow the story just for it to get deleted so i have to do it again. fuck this dogshit

[peak eagle]

only after a certain carry threshold, but its a relatively light drunk effect

I like the perma drunk effect. really makes you feel like you're in the Zone, blyat.

[peak eagle]

You'll cool off, and come back to the game in a month or 2

[wanton arch]

I wouldn't last 1 hour playing if I had to deal with getting drunk every 5min

[obsidian heath]

Bye bye! 🙂

[nocturne sigil]

[shadow sphinx]

[wanton arch]

Weird that when I binded f1 and f2 for consumables I got MASSIVE lag spike when using them for some reason

[obsidian heath]

[nocturne sigil]

[brittle crystal]

[grim jackal]

do u use uetools? uetools uses f1 to f4 as stupid 4k and 8k screenshot keys bro

[wanton arch]

Also I switched binds to change weapon modes and i could no longer active the under barrel in my gun

[grim jackal]

i told the uetools dev to fucking remove or allow us to change the keybinds as editing the ini doesnt do shit

[wanton arch]

Well I didn't know that
