[grim jackal]

read the description xD

[wanton arch]

Where are they stored? I should have a bunch of stupid screenshot then LMAO

[obsidian heath]

I fail to see the issue xD

[grim jackal]

you add the binds to your engine.ini at the bottom. but changing them doesnt change shit.

[umbral prawn]

F5 DOES NOTIGN for me

[grim jackal]

check ur keybinds dude

[umbral prawn]

ah wrong it did i just didnt see it up the corner

[grim jackal]

....l...m....a...o...

[nocturne sigil]

i'm legit so sad about the zalissya quest... i thought i'd be able to access my stash and recover some munitions

[gray eagle]

I think they want me dead chat

[grim jackal]

hi twitch, hi youtube

[nocturne sigil]

welp, you still managed to make them ded before they make you

[umbral prawn]

AH IT WILL NOT SAVE UNLESS you have USA keys selected in windows

[slate tree]

you will take your made for console ui and you will like it

[grim jackal]

uk keyboard layout works too. us keybinds are funny swapping around my @ and "

[umbral prawn]

I thnk I HAVE TO assing f5 from my own keyboard

[toxic comet]

hahahahaha

[nocturne sigil]

me i got no problem with the french keyboard (except for ladders)

[dire anvil]

my game does not start after updates. just black screen. anyone else having this issue?

[grim jackal]

my eyes hurt mommy

[mental coral]

Will stashes run out or everytime you get a stash location it's populated ? Just curious

[peak eagle]

average bloodsucker attack

[peak eagle]

Seems to be a one time thing, and you can access any of em without coordinates

[verbal oyster]

dang TAA looks even worse these days

[grim jackal]

there are only so many stashes. you will eventually find them all and probably get an achievement.

[toxic comet]

weird water + 2 bottles of vodka xD

[floral venture]

i wish there was just a button you can press to swap to underbarrel. you can hold the swap firing mode button, or use the tab menu but nothing you can press to swap faster

[spice temple]

By the way, there will be a DLC which will feature a fallen plane. Got this from data mining the game.

[grim jackal]

i hate the radial menu its stupid console feature. where is my V key for UGL god damnit

[toxic comet]

my guy is running side ways xD

[floral venture]

im using the underbarrel shotty as my main mutant killer and swapping to it is such a pain after healing etc

[peak eagle]

passenger plane?

[stable quarry]

you guys ever notice that the Zone is full of chads on the Sigma Male grindset?

[wanton arch]

I hate that it doesn't remember that you switched to it, it resets EVERY TIME

[stable quarry]

disregard females, acquire artifacts

[floral venture]

yup, just so annoying lol

[spice temple]

Have no idea, but maybe.

[amber glacier]

where is dr dalin? i cant give the scanner to him since i cant find him anywhere, all the doors are locked and the marker is stuck on the metal detector

[wanton arch]

It also has a massive delay between switching from and to it for no reason, it isn't responsive with the animation ending

[peak eagle]

a cutscene should play by the metal detector in Sircca, reload a save

[wanton arch]

Feels super clunky to use, but I fucking love the gimmick, so fun

[mental coral]

Yeah I found alot without the Coordinates just seeing if they will have stuff in them again if I get it later from a stalker

[grim jackal]

doors lock in the event of hostile attack. did you shoot anyone protecting the area? otherwise go rest in a bed and come back, see if that works

[verbal oyster]

nah, you'll get a marker for it but it'll be empty (since already looted) and visible until you go back and open the (empty) container

[amber glacier]

the cutscene by the door didnt play, gg

[peak eagle]

Ripperoni

[toxic comet]

LOOT

[mental coral]

Right on thanks

[wanton arch]

Best suit in the game(it's not, but I've been using it for 50 hours already)

[digital vale]

Ugly ass camo

[peak eagle]

It is Spark armor, so its gonna be colorful to say the least

[amber glacier]

gotta love how the bolt flipping idle animation is at 20fps

[grim jackal]

nah its good they stand out like a sore thumb, easy to recognise. i wish all the factions worn unique shit like that, as only a few do.

[sharp pendant]

hmm, what should I focus on next, getting a rifle that shoots bigger than 5.45x39, or getting a better shotgun than the cracker?

[rose hound]

honestly felt the armor was better then the diamond exo, even with the mobility upgrade

[wanton arch]

Wtf brother has a diamond

[peak eagle]

Caliber doesn't matter, what kind of gun it is does, you can get the Saiga/Ram-2 from the Red Forest Trader which is advisable

[frozen flame]

valid or no

[grim jackal]

focus on getting a good detector and hunting artifacts. guns will come as you kill things, you want artifacts to help survive the zone.

[sharp pendant]

not quite at red forest yet, I'm in Rostok and have some missions there though

[toxic comet]

yep almost maxed out need more money

[peak eagle]

Just a quick dip north and you can purchase a better shotgun

[sharp pendant]

where do I get a better detector than Bear?

[limpid quarry]

I still dont know how i got my veles detector it just randomly popped up in my Inventory at one point

[sharp pendant]

and is the Sunset better than the guardian of Freedom once I upgrade it?

[wanton arch]

Are you done with the story? Before point of no return, can't find diamond before pripyat

[sharp pendant]

sorry, sunrise suit

[safe smelt]

Bois

[edgy star]

probably from a quest as a reward

[mental coral]

I have seen it on a trader but you will get one just doing story

[digital vale]

You can explore still before point of no return

[peak eagle]

Sunrise suit? Guardian of freedom is better

[digital vale]

And you get a second diamond exo in the spark scientist bunker

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal is there a bad side to kill any and every NPC

[sharp pendant]

its comparable but lighter is why I was wondering

[safe smelt]

For those who completed the game, is it possible to hop into stalker 2 without playing the others. Obv it's better but is it 100% necessary?

[wanton arch]

|| I'm about to go to pripyat, just spoke with shadow, am I far from the point of no return? ||

[nocturne reef]

Yeah. Monolith and the ward have extremely similar colors at a glance for example.

[digital vale]

There's couple of quests you do in prypiat so you can explore meanwhile

[tall pecan]

I wanna throw Sultan and Sonya to bloodsucker den

[sharp pendant]

is this a good loadout to go to red forest?

[peak eagle]

It'll be alright

[wanton arch]

Get coupled ak mags and you're golden

[digital vale]

Red forest is pretty tame compared to the og one

[sharp pendant]

Where do I get coupled AK mags?

[wise zinc]

скіфе >>> skif ngl
"skiffe ^-^"

[wanton arch]

There's a place in the swamp I think, you can look up a interactive map

[mental coral]

Probably now but befor the mutant nerf Probably be alot harder

[stable quarry]

@spice temple hey i'm using Omega and i gotta say one of the things i love the most is added mobility of the greater degree which you can ledge grab, makes me feel like i'm almost playing a movement shooter at times, shit's great, just wish we had more stamina to play with

[ancient oar]

what's the latest comment from GSC about a-life? reee

[mental coral]

It will be in future updates lol

[spice temple]

Thanks. I am planning to extend stamina values.

[ancient oar]

is this troll or did gsc say that

[high forge]

they said that

[ancient oar]

phew

[mental coral]

I don't troll it's the last thing I saw I'm sorry

[high forge]

i'm using shay's living zone mod but it doesn't seem to do much

[ancient oar]

now i can get a-life lelelelelelelelel

[opaque fractal]

true

the game update right as i got my mods to work man

[gray eagle]

so far all my stuff is working except for mutant loot but the author updated it

[icy bough]

Ooooo

[stable quarry]

roq

[sullen needle]

So has the patch helped or hurt you guys?, lol

[dusky aurora]

Red forest is just a forest that's red, it's not specially dangerous like in gamma

[dense owl]

I love that I finally finish updating to 1.01 only for 1.02 to immediately release forcing me to update again

[grim jackal]

its done nothing. 1.02 was bug fixes for like 7 quests. my save is so broken with quest flags being borked i doubted a patch would fix it.

[toxic comet]

i am still doing story mission

[high forge]

i can loot dogs and snorks but i can't loot bloodsuckers and fleshes

[grim jackal]

it is dangerous, you what? you take on psi damage and get the visions of illusions that hurt you.

[wary rune]

Can someone translate?

[digital vale]

Yeah if you didn't cheat bunch of end game guns in maybe you wouldn't have problems

[toxic comet]

death zone need to progress story more for stashes

[dusky aurora]

Damn, I guess my suit is strong against psi, I didn't get any of it

[gray eagle]

do you have real weapon names by chance

[high forge]

nah

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal IS THERE down side to kill camps

[grim jackal]

yeah you aggro the factions. they will be hostile.

[high forge]

must be some other mod

[stuck condor]

My eyes hurt when playing Stalker 2...

[lethal breach]

Get new eyes

[grim jackal]

same dude, i use a reshade pack to make it more visible but i lose like 20fps more, the games lighting is fucking horrific.

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal is there ever a right time to killa camp

[grim jackal]

yes, when you are bored or dont care.

[umbral prawn]

i just upped the GAMA no pun intended

[wanton arch]

You can cross to the other side by going further south btw

There's a sniper that one shots you there to block you from going through, but further south nothing blocks you

[toxic comet]

ahhh invisble sniper kills me xD

[stuck condor]

Without upscaling the game looks like trash, not even talking about lighting which is horrible too. Even on Epic I can't play for longer than 30 minutes

[ancient oar]

every 5 minutes ingame when the sky changes. hello darkness my old friend

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal how do i know i dont care

[digital vale]

There's no sniper there after certain story quest

[wanton arch]

Yeah it's dumb cause further south nothing blocks the other entrance

[ember ether]

THE GAME IS KINDA FIXED FOR ME

damn caps

[spice temple]

Was Pripyat extended in comparison with OG Stalker?

[grim jackal]

if you run the game at native resolution is looks gorgeous but glhf enjoying the slideshow at 10fps. the game is not optimised at all on computers. i get they prio'd the console release so they would make some more money and secure funding for the season pass but damn it hurts with such bad performance and visuals.

[ripe merlin]

how are A-life mods working for you after 1.02?

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal sorry i am not sure the message went through sorry for writing twice .. but when do i know i should care or not

[ember ether]

probably, everything felt bigger in stalker 2, if you notice the classic spots like rookie village

[digital vale]

A lot of same locations but scale is way bigger then og

[grim jackal]

thats up to you to decide. i kill bandit merc and warden camps, everytime i go near chem fac i slay the wardens for their loot.

[stuck condor]

Native without upscaling? Haha, good joke

[wanton arch]

More open space with no AI spawning

[stuck condor]

That's epic btw

[digital vale]

No hear this, they spawn behind you

[spice temple]

TAA does it, actually, kinda well.

[stuck condor]

Fixed the 2D trees issue via Engine.ini config but holy fuck

[verbal oyster]

my God.
glad I can pull off DLAA

[spice temple]

Gotcha

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal what happens if imake them all my enemy

[stuck condor]

It doesn't look like this with any type of upscaling but why the hell it looks so bad without it???

[grim jackal]

that looks like lower resolution not at native with no aa either. that looks like 720p shit on my screen ew.

[stuck condor]

1080 epic

[umbral prawn]

WHY IS GRENADE SO USELESS lol

[grim jackal]

grenade is good, you just need to aim with them better.

[digital vale]

Same locations but clearly a lot has been referenced from real life buildings etc, kinda liked how it looked but it rained 24/7 in prypiat for me so it kinda ruined it for me

[verbal oyster]

if I had to make a wild guess, it would be Nanite

[stuck condor]

I love how CPU bottlenecking results in same 30 fps on low and epic

[stuck condor]

And you're absolutely correct

[toxic comet]

poor guy bleeded out 😢

[spice temple]

There's a mod that makes weather sunny all the time

[rose hound]

Thats what I am doing right now

[ancient oar]

idea for npc balance: decrease ai aim at longer distances. increase ai aim at close range

[toxic comet]

heal then xD

[raven current]

What's this sniper putting me down everytime here

[wide mortar]

HOLY SHIT I just got warped.

[wanton arch]

Idk your specs but did you notice lower fps in pripyat? I'm worried about it since || the faust fight that was so laggy I couldn't enjoy it ||

[digital vale]

Nah that's stupid zone is supposed to be overcast and grim just 24/7 rain cycle sucks ass

[stable quarry]

i'm just noticing that Cossacks vodka is a reference to one of GSC's other games, Cossacks and the label art is the same as the box art

[stuck condor]

Default LODs always result in better quality and WAY better performance but oh no, they needs some work

[spice temple]

Already done by many overhaul mods 🙂

[toxic comet]

same one who kills me xD

[wanton arch]

Can't cross there, gotta go further south

[mighty plaza]

autokill, if you want into duga ||youll want to go further south past that checkpoint||

[rose hound]

everyones shooting gauss rifles right now lol

[high forge]

ok well i just realized i had alife extended and shay's living zone at the same time

[verbal oyster]

LODs in this game are so fucked.
makes me sad. Finally upgrade my PC and having a bigger draw distance doesn't help at all lol
pop-in, swapping between models, weird AF dithering

[toxic comet]

nope Lmg and saiga

[digital vale]

It's the amount of AI in there that lags the game, in the centre of the map there's a monolith base that has like 30-40 npcs in it

[raven current]

is there an other entrance? because i have to meet with spark ther

[wanton arch]

Well fuck me. I had issues with the || monolith attack in yaniv as well... ||

[toxic comet]

texan has to long reloud

[mighty plaza]

just north of where i currently am

[stuck condor]

Because nanite
You can even see textures flicker on some walls and overlapping (nanite merge technology)

[digital vale]

Yeah it's mainly the npc AI that makes the game run like crap cause how UE runs AI on single thread all the time

[umbral prawn]

@grim jackal WHAT happens iff i make everyone my enemy

[fair thistle]

Welp, looks like my Sidorovich + all the other named npc's are gone in Cordon, happy that i finished this playthru cuz damn it gets buggy.

[verbal oyster]

I was wondering what was causing that texture flicker between 2 different colors.

[stuck condor]

Bigger render distance helps, you have to fix it thru config. Say no to 2D images of trees and doesn't really affect FPS (well, in my case)

[raven current]

How do i get into duga? i get killed everytime by autokill

[toxic comet]

smg lovers u want it

[stiff musk]

What patch does this represent? I see a lot of loners with it but I thought the loner patch is the rad symbol?

[fair thistle]

i think its the chernobyl explorer's patch

[stuck condor]

Lumine most likely, not sure what you mean

[peak eagle]

There's one below Cement Factory base as well

[stiff musk]

Ah thanks. I wasn't aware of something like that.

[dire anvil]

guy should I walk arround with all these PDAs and Papers? or should I just drop them at the chest? will I need them?

[digital vale]

Yeah you can blame lumen for all the horrible lighting bugs

[stiff musk]

You can just sell them. If it isn't marked with a orange symbol its trash

[peak eagle]

toss em immediately after pickin em up

[toxic comet]

well fuck me xD

[verbal oyster]

just the thing you were describing, with the walls flickering

[wraith jolt]

anyone elses game just verifying over and over again?

[wanton arch]

I stash all my pdas and paper, but I think you're supposed to sell them

[stuck condor]

It says Чорнобиль - Зона Відчуження
Chernobyl - Exclusion Zone

[alpine frigate]

sell them. no need anymore

[stiff musk]

It keeps all the notes you picked up in your pda tab

[verbal oyster]

I'll have to look into those ini edits though, thanks for the heads up.
should be able to do it with my system (we'll see lol)

[fair thistle]

Theres another variation of it

[ancient oar]

i have like 5 quest item pdas just soaking kg in my inv

[stiff musk]

Also has anyone found a extended mag for the saiga?

[digital vale]

There's one in jupiter

[spice temple]

Did you know Red Forest has tranches and military vehicles in game? This is hilarious

[wanton arch]

There's one after yaniv in jupiter

[toxic comet]

bloodsuckers breeding grounds in call of pripyat

[umbral prawn]

THE TEXTURE POPPIN after loading etc.... this GAME is UNDERCOOTED i am ont sure i can tollerate much of this WAIT tillNEXT UPDATE

[stuck condor]

Nanite then. I doubt mods can fix that
Well, maybe they could remove nanite entirely but that won't work imo
We can disable Lumen at least (everything looks fucked but you can see in the dark)

[alpine frigate]

its been 15 years since CoP, we can wait a few more months for game to be updated

[peak eagle]

Impossible, we want it now Mr Krabs

[wanton arch]

Worst part about nanite is the guns looking crooked without it

[mighty plaza]

for those wondering: this is the entrance to Duga

[umbral prawn]

@alpine frigate no ew cant people payed 60 or 70 buks for this

[verbal oyster]

that stuff bothers me, but not as much as the model flipping with LODs and pop in
the latter shit is crazy bad lmao

and the shadow flickering on foliage. oof

[stuck condor]

Flickering 100% Lumen
Too dark inside of the houses? Bad implementation or very big bug that's not fixed yet

[alpine frigate]

dunno what to tell you besides buyers remorse and look what you are getting yourself into lol this is actually one of GSC's smoothest launches in comparison to trilogy and cossacks

[frozen flame]

anybody know the code for this feller

[wanton arch]

Is there any hope for performance fix? Or is it fucked cause of the technologies used like nanite and lumen? I mean we won't have a miracle patch right?

[peak eagle]

1708

[ember ether]

i am loving this fucking game frfr

[stuck condor]

The thing that's bothering me the most. Is this:
Do you see the GRID? It happens when you turn your camera or when eye adaptation effect happens. No clue how to delete this shit.
(No foliage on screen, btw)

[frozen flame]

thanks gang

[gray eagle]

Every other stalker game was riddled with bugs, GSC is not a AAA studio nor do they have the manpower to release a completely flawless product. The game is in a good state and just needs some patches

[verbal oyster]

what the
I haven't seen that yet

[grim jackal]

OMFG BOYS, the latest STK2 SPF has fixed the performance in built up areas! MODDERS FTW. ILL ZUK HIS D.

[stuck condor]

Move your camera really fast, it happens on edges but if you're fast enough...

[toxic comet]

freedom base need door code xD

[frozen flame]

stalker 2 takes place in the matrix turns out its all just a part of the stalker experiments

[verbal oyster]

do you see that when turning your character or something? wtf?
is it from framegen?
edit: oh yeah that sounds like FG shenanigans

[alpine frigate]

interesting advertising approach but i suppose that works

[peak eagle]

0690

[stable quarry]

i wouldn't say it's in a "GOOD" state, it's in a FUN state yes, as in you can definitely have fun with it, but it needs more than just a "few" patches

[grim jackal]

im getting 110 fps in fucking rostok now

[stable quarry]

?

[high forge]

yo, should i bother with red weapons to sell to ragman and shit or nah

[wanton arch]

Bro knows all the codes

[tardy bronze]

The STALKER discord has like a 5 minute slow mode. What kind of terrorism are they fighting??!?

[peak eagle]

Local zone crackhead at your service

[grim jackal]

mod for performance fix on the nexus

[stuck condor]

No difference between settings, I still see this, seeking for the fix. Maybe volumetric fog rendering problems but god why

[gray eagle]

considering you can play the game and enjoy it to atleast 70% through without completely game breaking bugs I think its in a better state than the majority of AAA releases lately

[mighty plaza]

the dreaded zone mutant known only as the neckbeard

[umbral prawn]

bigges punishment is not dying in this game its the loading time and poppins htat follows

[alpine frigate]

bandits, mutants, and anarchists

[stable quarry]

which one?

[grim jackal]

read my message i said what its called

[verbal oyster]

yeah I've never seen the FG view error have a grid like that, in any game
very strange

[tardy bronze]

I mean, I've met nicer controllers

[grim jackal]

cu guys in like a week i can play the fuckin game now LOL

[toxic comet]

good stats for starter run

[alpine frigate]

STK2 @stable quarry. idk why they didnt just type that out, it would have been faster lol

[frozen flame]

damn

[stuck condor]

Framegen doesn't affect that

[peak eagle]

go further west and you'll find the unique As Val, Trophy

[high forge]

yo it's november

[stuck condor]

Like it's just there...

[verbal oyster]

yeah that's weird too lol
FG bullshit is the only time I've ever seen a square screen outline offset like that

[frozen flame]

he made me lose 💔

[toxic comet]

will do if i dont die to shit show flashbang

[peak eagle]

I do hate those anomalies lol

[alpine frigate]

bandit got me feeling strange

[wanton arch]

Wish framegen didn't gave me 200ms latency

[tardy bronze]

I'm still pissed that they didn't add my favorite mutant...

[stuck condor]

It's usable only if you have 60+fps on native res

[toxic comet]

they crash my game xD

[peak eagle]

Definitely sounds like a zone anomaly

[wanton arch]

What's native res? Can I download it?

[alpine frigate]

they make me see jesus and i dont even worship him

[tardy bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-following-video-game-gif-17964670

[stuck condor]

I wish you could... 60+ without upscalers

[toxic comet]

thats hardcore xD

[stuck condor]

Cheburashka!

[wanton arch]

40fps in open with TSR at 55

[stuck condor]

RIP

[toxic comet]

big ass ears i wonder can he fly

[heavy pasture]

have you guys noticed that when you scope in with any scope that the game stutters and drops FPS? dont think this was happening before the patch and i cant find a way to fix it

[tardy bronze]

My beloved

[alpine frigate]

a terrible abomination of the zone. someone call Trapper/Zveroboy

[wanton arch]

I use a mod to remove Blur around the scope and it fixed it for me

[heavy pasture]

can you link it?

[wanton arch]

I'm on mobile ATM but I'll look for it rq

[heavy pasture]

appreciate it

[stuck condor]

I need one that removes hold to STOP breathing while scoping, such a stupid mechanic on AK lol, not even a sniper

[toxic comet]

holy nut balls

[spice temple]

Then just don't press the button?

[alpine frigate]

hint, stalker. there's more locations

[gray eagle]

STK2 SPF or Optimized Tweaks S2?

[normal fog]

multiple toy tanks?

[alpine frigate]

yes

[stuck condor]

You can't hit the target if your scope is moving like you're drunk

[wanton arch]

Too bad it's ultimate edition only, gun looks so good

[stuck condor]

4x scope, not the 8x 16x whatever

[normal fog]

I also found B&W pics of people in many places. I'm guessing those are the devs?

[toxic comet]

yep xD

[shadow sphinx]

Dr. Indiana Jones would not enjoy Lab X5 🐀

[wanton arch]

Wish there was a unique kharod

[stuck condor]

You can call it skill issue but I call it obsolete mechanic

[toxic comet]

X11 is fucking hell

[high forge]

apparently they forgot to change the money numbers when you take on a repeatable quest

[toxic comet]

well all labs are hell to explore

[alpine frigate]

bartenders are all trained in the Art of the Sidor

[tardy bronze]

What's the consensus of the current patch state?

[digital vale]

Labs don't have that scary atmosphere as the og games

[shadow sphinx]

Patch state: SNAFU

[stuck condor]

Still bad but better

And by bad I mean really bad

[high forge]

anyone tried or has shay's living zone

[visual terrace]

Q: Does holding a scanner impact pistol performance in any way? Less accuracy/what not?

[verbal oyster]

no Zalissya fix is pretty bad, not going to lie
rip to console bros

[alpine frigate]

zalissya so buggy it is benchmark for state of game. new patch comes out, if zalissya still buggy, game still buggy af lol

[stuck condor]

I mean, to play the game without FPS issues you need 13th gen of intel CPUs at least. GPU doesn't matter

[verbal oyster]

That quest double bugged for me, since I had an emission before getting over there to do the quest.
couldn't even get it started, then had the typical failure everyone does after successfully defending twice

[tardy bronze]

Intel is so embarrassing

[alpine frigate]

had to do a console workaround pre-patches to get the over the edge win state without it autofailing from walking 400m away

[stuck condor]

I'm just not aware about current state of AMD CPUs, in fact I have ryzen 5...

[toxic comet]

still they send chill down my spine

[tardy bronze]

I'm on a 78003dx

[alpine frigate]

not even sure if console workaround still works either for those wanting to save the town

[wanton arch]

There's a pin on fixing it, don't know if it works tho

[verbal oyster]

also.... zalissya ||not having a replacement guide|| after the defense missions was definitely a... choice that was made

Can't optimize CPU usage, well, almost, most likely it bottlenecks

[gray eagle]

idk if S.2 or ultimate engine tweaks is better is all

[frigid oracle]

aim assist + bad optmization + tanky enemies + tanky skiff + weak weapons + few items and they all heal+ simplified upgrades and repairs, thank you console players for making everyones experience objectively worse

the excessive meds is a bit crazy. at this point it just dont bring any for any expeditions to have some semblence of challenge. still end up with 40+ at the end of any trip

and just dont pick up food. sorta interesting to just find it when you need it

[spice temple]

If your PC is a potato and you want somewhat enjoyable graphics, this one is the best hands down

[wanton arch]

I have like 500 medkits stashed

[alpine frigate]

i cant wait for Call of Chernobyl: We Found Lymansk & Dead City Boogaloo

[shadow sphinx]

it's always there. every single corner of the zone has food service or care packages

[verbal oyster]

Who needs armor and upgrades when we have q-spam 😎

[frigid oracle]

consoles player thinking they aiming and shooting at something but its auto aim

press X to win

[stuck condor]

I mean, before patch u needed them

[warped monolith]

you could sell 450 of those and you'll still be fine

[frigid oracle]

devs be like we cant fix the optmization for u guys we have to make the 30fps console experience really good

[sharp pendant]

does the not-spas-12 have a magazine fed upgrade module?

[warped monolith]

afaik no

[gray eagle]

no

[frigid oracle]

carry two of them

[verbal oyster]

Gotta find yourself a Saiga

[high forge]

stalker 2 if it was a boomer shooter

[frigid oracle]

one with slugs the mwhen they get close upull the shot one

[sharp pendant]

literally Trepang2

[shadow sphinx]

stalker 2 literally Cowadoody w/ mutants amiriteguise

[frigid oracle]

spasm 14 > sadga

[wanton arch]

Wouldn't it be better if medkits were infinite just on a cooldown

[high forge]

i read someone unironically call it cs with mutants 💀

[obsidian thistle]

spaz 12 literally describes me and my age

[verbal oyster]

That's how CDPR fixed med spam in 2077. Worked pretty well there

[frigid oracle]

console player detected, theres a mod for that and no it sucs

[sharp pendant]

I'm wondering if I should swap out my akm for the dnipro, but I don't think the dnipro fits the range I like to use the akm at

[stuck condor]

Well, cyberpunk was a very easy game after all

[frigid oracle]

''fixed''

[warped monolith]

or healed slowly over time instead of instantly

[high forge]

you should unless you're using realistic damage mod

[frigid oracle]

i install realistic damage in cyberpunk and u wont have time to heal

[gray eagle]

I shrimply modded that in

[warped monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/hacker-hackerman-kung-fury-gif-7953536

[stuck condor]

Heal instantly, spam Q
Wait behind the obstacles for 2 minutes, doing nothing
Choose your poison

[tardy bronze]

I'd unironically play that

[frigid oracle]

counter strike was good like 25 years ago

[high forge]

counter strike with mutants? sounds like l4d2

[frigid oracle]

thats zombies

[warped monolith]

[high forge]

fr?

[wanton arch]

Pretty sure you can put a 4x on it, besides being able to put holo or laser sight so you should be able to use at any range

[frigid oracle]

cyberpunk has a right and a wrong way to play it if u play a runner u hack everyone and never get damaged thats the right way

[stuck condor]

Half Life 2: am I a joke?

[frigid oracle]

half life has aliens not mutants

[stuck condor]

They made flesh a head crab

[high forge]

i think i fucked my carry weight forever 💀 , it's not going down from 140 to 100 kg

[frigid oracle]

fallout does have mutants

headcrab is a parasite alien

that got weaponized by the combine later

[polar sigil]

bro did not play hl

[shadow sphinx]

did someone say HL3 confirmed?

[alpine frigate]

left 4 dead with aliens? sounds like alien swarm

[gray eagle]

AR416 or 74S?

[polar sigil]

just use whatever u got ammo for

[alpine frigate]

buket 🪣

[heavy pasture]

seems to still not work all that well. whenever i sleep or use a guide to fast travel the stuttering starts again.

[gray eagle]

I have ammo for both just hate the huge scope im stuck with on the Valiks ak

[wanton arch]

74s for the underhand reload

[atomic badger]

no 2x or 4x scope available for the PKM? O.O what is the point of high caliber MG, if you cant even put a proper scope on it, justa red dot

[alpine frigate]

then go 416 since it can get smaller size scope as well as 2x if you dont like the zoom

[wanton arch]

It solved mostly for me, don't remember it happening after I installed it. Maybe it does just less and I don't notice

[wide mortar]

engagements only happen within like 50m so 2x/4x seems overkill

[stiff musk]

Does endurance up stam regen or your total stam pool?

[shadow sphinx]

bucket is insanely good for close range fully modded

[high forge]

is there anything special about the ar416 you get for the icon

[pliant sigil]

What the hell is my luck this run? I'm still in the Garbage and I've already gotten a Compass and Thunderberry.

[wanton arch]

Don't get why this gun isn't allowed to be a secondary

[alpine frigate]

the bucket 🪣 is bullet economy exemplified. does not get cheaper than 9x18

[pliant sigil]

Just need a Liquid Rock and we'll be cooking.

[alpine frigate]

already too good, needs gameplay balance

[pliant sigil]

You can also very easily get a unique Buket in the Slag Heap

[polar sigil]

u can use the other burst pistol tho or the mac 10

[atomic badger]

its not an smg, I would expecect to be able to use at longer range, meanwhile you can put a spectre on a damn Kriss Vector

[frigid oracle]

buket is good until u meet a chimera

[wanton arch]

The bucket and the boomstick should be allowed as secondary

[alpine frigate]

everything is good until u meet chimera lmao

[frigid oracle]

theres a mod for boostick also skif pistol should be deleted

[shadow sphinx]

all the good balance mods are gonna nerf 9x18mak right into the dirt where it belongs

[tacit glacier]

Artefact spawn locations are all over the place ngl

[polar sigil]

the boomstick would be hella useless

[alpine frigate]

but funny and cathartic

[wanton arch]

He doesn't even does the pistol flip when taking out

[rich arch]

I haven’t been home since the patches dropped how is everything?

[frigid oracle]

skiff went to the zone to be a chad but he cant get rid of his memories and his lame ass pistol

[pliant sigil]

Say some gangsta is dissing your flygirl. Just give 'em one of these! (whips out fully upgraded boomstick from pistol holster)

[peak eagle]

He's this stubborn because his house blew up

[polar sigil]

skif's pistol is good because it barely loses durability

[frigid oracle]

i think is cause he got no hoes

[pliant sigil]

It fires three shots because it's an anomalous boomstick

[verbal oyster]

hear me out, what if we start muzzle loading some of these artifacts

[frigid oracle]

shouldve just sold the pistol and bought some hoes at the hoe store

[vast solstice]

I'm using a 21:9 monitor, so idk if it's a scaling issue or not, but is the ammo box at the bottom right of the hud extremely small for yall?

[peak eagle]

screenshot and show us

[shadow sphinx]

dnipro with extendo mag and lazor seems like a good BUCKET replacement if you're willing to put on bigboi pants

[pliant sigil]

Gauss rifle batteries were made from ground-up electric artifacts.

[frigid oracle]

remove all the hud elements make the game much more enjoyable tbh

[peak eagle]

I prefer coupled mags for dnipro

[polar sigil]

dnipro conversion is hella good

issue is the ammo

[shadow sphinx]

haven't found that yet but ill giver a try

[alpine frigate]

every day i venture without my bucket, i miss my bucket. i miss bucket days already.

[pliant sigil]

Also, speaking of the Buket. Behold! The most powerful gun of all! Are you ready to meet God?

[frigid oracle]

you dont need double mag on rifles if you have two spasm 14

[peak eagle]

There seems to be only one of those, it's in the building on the very east of Cooling Towers, guarded by those insta-kill snipers but you can run up and get it

[amber glacier]

is the ||sircaa|| pseudogiant invincible?

[peak eagle]

Probably not, I just ran past tho

[polar sigil]

it's not

[amber glacier]

pumped it with like 60 buckshot after it killed almost all the enemies there, still not dead

[polar sigil]

if u don't have the hp nerf mod then unlucky for you

and even if u have it , it's still tanky af

[pliant sigil]

I mean why are you fighting the SIRCAA pseudogiant instead of performing the secret Joestar family technique?

[amber glacier]

mutant loot

if bloodsucker tendrils sell for 3k, imagine a pseudogiant's loot

[peak eagle]

probably like 7K

[polar sigil]

bro just glitch some medkits lol

[peak eagle]

which is less than your ammo and repair costs honestly lol

[amber glacier]

im not infinite moneying my playthrough

[polar sigil]

u already using a mod for it

[amber glacier]

this isnt skyrim

[peak eagle]

The only infinite money glitch here, selling broken guns to ragman

[amber glacier]

its different from staying there for 30 seconds for 200 million credits

[polar sigil]

it got nerfed tho

b4 the patch it took way less

i'll replay it once the new dlc drops

[frigid oracle]

we need some skyrim mods over here, make some big assets mods, curvy mutants etc

[peak eagle]

Again another freedomer

[shadow sphinx]

yeah give Birch bigger... tracts of land

[alpine frigate]

forget birch, i want bloodsucker booty to be even thicker

[wanton arch]

Hello everypony

[wide mortar]

stalker 2 is essentially skyrim with guns 😄

[peak eagle]

Bit smaller sure

[dire anvil]

how did u get do this stash?

[wanton arch]

They said that Stalker SoC was oblivion with guns

[polar sigil]

use the ladder next to you 🤯

[peak eagle]

Considered dropping down from the crane?

[shadow sphinx]

fallout 3 was morrowind with guns

[wanton arch]

No it wasn’t liar and fool

[mighty plaza]

fallout 3 was oblivion with guns smh

[shadow sphinx]

fallout new vegas was a good one, becuase it wasn't made by bethusda

[dire anvil]

it seems too far. i dont know if game wants me to move the crane.

[polar sigil]

seems doesn't mean that it is

[peak eagle]

looks pretty doable

[wanton arch]

It was referred to as oblivion with guns but the first time the phrase was used was in reference to stalker, the uneducated masses would miss that obvious one.

[polar sigil]

idc what the monolith sends after me i ain't joining them

[dire anvil]

died from fall dmg

[polar sigil]

died from skill issue*

[wanton arch]

The first time the term oblivion with guns was used was in reference to stalker, the phrase went on to refer to fallout 3 but 3 wasn’t the first one.

[wanton arch]

Daring today, aren’t we.

[warped monolith]

oblivion with guns*

[frigid oracle]

u too old baldie

[wanton arch]

I grew up with Daggerfall and fallout 2, I’ve been a fan of fallout for 2 decades, of course, it also means I know what I’m talking about.

[polar sigil]

let unc talk his shit 🗣️

[wanton arch]

Been a fan of both series for ages even before they were in the same company

[shadow sphinx]

In Search of Past Glory gibs u Veles detector btw, whoever was asking how to get one before.

[frigid oracle]

daggerfall was meh, morrowind was gold

[wanton arch]

Take that back

[frigid oracle]

baldurs gate 2 > daggerfall

[wanton arch]

You know Daggerfall was gold too.

[shadow sphinx]

listen zoomer, the original phrase was "morrowind with guns" ok, I was there.

[frigid oracle]

the controls were so bad

[warped monolith]

Daggerfall was a wild ride. Balance was extremely wack

[wanton arch]

The roleplaying ability of Daggerfall was immense get used to it and get carpal tunnel

[frigid oracle]

doom was fun to play, daggerfall was pain

[wide mortar]

it was absolutely amazing when it came out. no one had done anything anywhere close to it 😄

[wanton arch]

Had a bad build. That’s just how it was back then.

[frigid oracle]

not about a bad build its just that spawns were kidna all voer the place, here have a daedra on your first dungeon

[wanton arch]

Balance wasn’t “wack” the game teaches you sometimes running is the best move, you can’t take on everything.

[frigid oracle]

most people never left the tutorial dungeon

[wanton arch]

Intentional

[warped monolith]

"oh you didn't pick Blunt Weapons as one of your main skills? Good luck against the skeletons in PH"

[left cypress]

there are instances where you're forced into the 3 minute long circlestrafing battle against a bloodsucker

[wanton arch]

I got out of the tutorial when I was like 6 man, you guys just suck.

[frigid oracle]

id say it was intention IF you could outrun enemies

[warped monolith]

and some magic schools were absolutely fucking useless

[left cypress]

oh it was about morrowind

[warped monolith]

daggerfall*

[floral mountain]

mod that makes skifs pistol the pump action from fortnite

[wanton arch]

Daggerfall.

[frigid oracle]

morrowind was so much better

[left cypress]

ah brother in daggerfall i took on like everything if i had the means to actually damage it and take it down

[warped monolith]

Getting out of PH is easy. That ain't no bragging point lmao

[frigid oracle]

no one remenbers daggerfall but caius cosades chest is unforgettable also we have dagoth ur AI voice now

[wanton arch]

It was barely better because it was higher tech, I’d like to see where you can take out a loan and buy a ship and never pay it back in Morrowind.

[wanton arch]

Yeah if I say that not doing it means you suck it’s obviously not bragging.

[left cypress]

but shit like the orc death squads that start harassing you early on in the story you just gotta run

[floral mountain]

i liked oblivion when it came out (i was 8 years old)

[frigid oracle]

no dude it was better because some dev went int oa week long halucinogenic trip to write the lessons of vivec and his penis sword

[wanton arch]

That’s not true kirkbride wasn’t on anything when writing

[frigid oracle]

its was overflowing with lore and uniqueness, daggerfall was just a bland dnd copy pasta

[wanton arch]

Propagating lies.

[shadow sphinx]

i think bethusda acquired the fallout IP from interplay before oblivion came out, and it wasn't certain yet that bethusda was just going to shove fallout into whatever they call their engine they put obliv and skyrim on

[fair thistle]

Guys, wtf are you talking about Daggerfall here? 😂

[frigid oracle]

you have songs about morrowinr nowdays but no songs about daggerfall

when people compare skyrim and oblivion they compare to morrowind not daggerfall

[wanton arch]

I agree, Morrowind is my third favorite game behind Fallout 2, but you’re cutting Daggerfall too much

[wanton arch]

Daggerfall deserves it

[frigid oracle]

daggerfall wanst even close to other rpgs at time

[copper hill]

Playing more sladger 2, got to the new Cordon. Not bad, definitely looks nicer than cordon. Performance dips when it hits the cinematic conversations though. I wish there was an option to know which ammo type i'm using at the time, I know there's a icon at the bottom... but i kinda want to know the exact text. Other than that, its been fun so far. Wish I had that magazine mod and ammo check from Gamma.

[polar sigil]

wdym bro it's totally related to stalker

[quartz spade]

I'm locked in the shelter on wild island becayse an npc who wont move is blocking the only exit, this game lmao

[wide mortar]

what other RPGs were around at the time that you're comparing it to? just curious.

[frigid oracle]

wizardry

[wanton arch]

That’s not even true, there was so much that Daggerfall couldn’t even add to the game because it was too advanced for its time, first Bethesda game they couldn’t put on a floppy.

[shadow sphinx]

save, exit game, reload

[warped monolith]

I'm trying to find that info but I'm only seeing sourceless blog posts saying they bought Fallout in 2004.
Oblivion released in 2006

[quartz spade]

Thanks I'll try that

[frigid oracle]

yeah they needed 2 floppys? lol i had a bunch of games taht were many floppys

[wide mortar]

Wizardry at the time was turn-based like jRPGs and used static backgrounds.

[polar sigil]

it's your choice

[fair thistle]

Thats kinda upto you

[cedar pond]

Fuck ward thanks guys

[warped monolith]

wait, what was OG Daggerfall's required HDD space?

[polar sigil]

stalker 2 lore is you getting gaslighted by everyone

[wanton arch]

Daggerfall RPG mechanics are nearly unmatched and they’ve been downgrading character sheets starting with Morrowind

[warped monolith]

about 30mb?

[wanton arch]

Iirc 50

[frigid oracle]

but now bethesda is ded

[cedar pond]

As soon as I saw man in costume and bowtie … I was like noooooope

[wanton arch]

It might be 30

[warped monolith]

Steam says 25 MB but I don't trust Valve when it comes to old games on their store

[wanton arch]

Somewhere in that range. The game was massive regardless

[fair thistle]

@warped monolith @wanton arch #🎪bruh-fart

[wanton arch]

And Daggerfall has the best character sheet in all of elder scrolls.

[river lintel]

compression to my understanding wasnt easy to do on floppy

[wide mortar]

it had different install options, 30mb, 90mb, 300mb and 500mb (there was a CD version)

[fair thistle]

This is Stalker 2 chat, not Daggerfall Skyrim chat guys. 😂

yah it's odd

[wanton arch]

I am an uncle

[polar sigil]

yea there's like nothing there

[frigid oracle]

1996 had diablo much better than daggerfall

[cedar pond]

Is it worth for artifact hunting ?

[river lintel]

imagine the dlc is a faction war breaking out over the armistice ending

[polar sigil]

damn who would've thought

[wide mortar]

nope, diablo was 1997

[frigid oracle]

also quake

[wanton arch]

Not even the same type of game, I saw you comparing it to Doom earlier lmao.

[warped monolith]

97. But yeah, my favorite friendly fire simulator

[frigid oracle]

daggerfall is meh

[warped monolith]

daggerfall definitely had issues. Needed a lot of patience, planning and trial & error

[river lintel]

it has not aged gracefully but its aspiration has directly lead to the zone we all love today being a decent scale with the ral place

[wanton arch]

Daggerfall was a whole fantasy life simulator calling it meh even though it’s better than most modern games is absurd. It’s hard to name games that have better freedom than Daggerfall.

[pliant sigil]

So I'm back to King of the Hill. Should I kill Shah or Roosevelt or neither or both or just kill Varan?

[river lintel]

secret third option, kill boffum then varan

[wanton arch]

You could take a loan from a bank, buy a ship, travel to another province across the bay and never pay them back, in 1996, the game was insane.

[frigid oracle]

1996 had the first tomb raider with big booba

[river lintel]

and dodge collections lmao

[peak eagle]

Kill all

[frigid oracle]

triangle booba but still

[wanton arch]

Daggerfall had much boobs.

[frigid oracle]

daggerfall already was dated on controls, 2d booba

[pliant sigil]

I mean I'm siding with the Ward this time around and they'd probably appreciate my wholesale slaughter of bandits.

[wanton arch]

Pixel boobs are hotter btw.

[river lintel]

you could take out multiple loans, and use them to buy a whole ass ship, then pay off those loans using new loans you got using the ship as collateral

[wanton arch]

Daggerfall was amazing, you could live in that game.

[frigid oracle]

why not just do it irl

[river lintel]

anothe rgame from a bit earlier that has a surpising ammount of depth to what you can do is the sega gensis game shadowrun having radiant gigs. shadowrun btw is a competitor of cyberpunk

[frigid oracle]

damn the irs

[river lintel]

because the IRS exists now

[frigid oracle]

just run before they get ya

[wanton arch]

Here’s my modern Daggerfall unity character, she’s a knight of Dibella and has relations to the Order of the Dragon and has such connections to Daggerfall nobility, she’s a Paladin in the Order too. She works with the temples of the divines and is a legend of High Rock.

Guys I don’t think this is a feature but it happened to me 2 times, a random weapon gets to my hands and the weapon I had equipped goes to my backpack. Before I got an AR and now I got a M701 super

No there are no enemies or similar around me

[pliant sigil]

Okay, killed both Shah's and Roosevelt's gangs. Got a lot of loot and stash locations out of them. Just goes to show that in the Zone, murder is cool and good.

which mutant do you think gives the best hugs?

Just because THEY don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't there. Like the dude on steam who looked at config files and proclaimed "a life isn't here!!"

[sand fjord]

Hm ok

[dapper imp]

yoo so how many endings are there ?

[west jackal]

like it feels wrong to me to not go the paths that i've been taking for the past like what
13-14 years?
its crazy

[river lintel]

4 i think?

[lethal breach]

Happens a lot yeah

[warped monolith]

That specific thing never happened to me.
What happened to me once was one of my guns got swapped for a different, broken gun.

[verbal oyster]

I keep having this happen as well

[dapper imp]

4 for real damn

[fair thistle]

Also now and then youll be using traders, and mutants will wander in and start fights, its cool, but kinda lags the game when all the npc's go on alert.

[lethal breach]

Yeah this is what he is talking about :)

[rich cedar]

maybe there is a setting to disable auto equip?

[warped monolith]

he said a random weapon spawns in his hand and his equipped weapon went to his backpack.
What happened to me was one weapon getting swapped out for another, disappearing in the process

[shadow sphinx]

that's happened to me a lot today

[west jackal]

honest to god its been kinda smooth sailing with some of the larger scale fights that have happened
which surprised me in all honesty

[wanton coyote]

Lmfao

[digital vale]

5 pkms spawned in my bag once

[tacit glacier]

It's oddly common

[river lintel]

Dont quote me lol

[warped monolith]

I lost a 100% durability TOZ, it got swapped out for a 23% Grom that I didn't even have ammo for

[shadow sphinx]

supposedly the game is spawning in mobs but giving you their gun instead

[river lintel]

It does start witg the same letter to be fair lmao

[west jackal]

yeah i've gotten like 5-6 weapons like that already
some nice quick cash is what that is
the quick-buck anomaly

[hushed garden]

finally caved lol

[river lintel]

Still yet to have it happen to me (knock on wood) but it's weird

[snow hill]

its all connected baby

[frozen flame]

sit the fuck down

[icy bough]

rip. Money i guess. Or a backup armor

[river lintel]

[west jackal]

[frozen flame]

my ass is not makin it back to the silly junk yard for a good while

[verbal oyster]

i always get low tier broken shit when it spawns on me lol

[river lintel]

stash em for ragman then

[tacit glacier]

I got 3 Vintorez rifles in lesser zone by just walking next to Chemical Plant in the Red Poppy Field.
All in Yellow condition (could sell them for profit )

[simple berry]

i find it funny how zombies cant die to grenades

[river lintel]

you lucky son of a bitch!

[peak eagle]

Get Weird Water and upgrade to 120kg capacity

[river lintel]

i have been to the ship but still cant find a guide in zaton and dont exaclty want to haul my fat ass to rookie village or noon

[verbal oyster]

[river lintel]

[grim jackal]

[lethal breach]

Ship is in the middle of zaton

[frozen flame]

💔

[river lintel]

the ship with the vendors that i said ive been to?

[icy bough]

i just gave 3 medkits to the injured duty soldiers and all they said was "talk to my senior officer"

[lethal breach]

I read it wrong 🙃

[west jackal]

good ol stalker

[river lintel]

lol so is it there and im just blind then?

[icy bough]

even if there is no reward im still inclined to heal whoever is injured

[verbal oyster]

i don't remember the southern ship, but the northern one has a guide at the bottom of the stairs opposite the bar

[fair thistle]

I finished the game, so now im just roaming on my save before the ending, and yeah theres quite some bugs in my save with npc's missing, and cities not being usable. Really dont want to start a new save until theres more fixes + key mods released.

[river lintel]

i have the meds, and the bullets to kill em if i need

[simple berry]

this is nothing 20 energy drinks cant fix

[grim jackal]

same

[river lintel]

oh theyve dark soulsed me, theres 2

[simple berry]

thats enough

[peak eagle]

Talk to my senior officer

[west jackal]

no stalker will ever be as thankful as Tolik from SoC
he's a real one

[river lintel]

more than enough

[frozen flame]

put me on an episode of hoarders

[icy bough]

man....this place used to be lively...

[tacit glacier]

Oh my lord they are either ignorant or a denier.
They think source code = config files.

[peak eagle]

low tier hoarder

[frozen flame]

wait till i show off the stash

[west jackal]

is that all?

[icy bough]

DUDE ITS SO COOL TO GO TO THE OLD PLACES

[fair thistle]

Not to get into a bunch of spoilers, but its cool how the story gives you choices, but it sucks when you need to fast travel somewhere, and your choices bite you in the ass, combined with how big the map is. Ive had to run 2-3km.

[river lintel]

i might be a pretty mediocre coder and i could tell you that

[slender scroll]

I just entered garbage for the first time, im hyped

[west jackal]

trust me it gets even better
and sometimes really sad

[river lintel]

nostalgia is a place

[slender scroll]

Does the main questline lead you to Cordon, or is it better to explore there on my own?

[icy bough]

im sad right now this village in cordon was my main home in gamma

[verbal oyster]

Sultansk is the one with the guide IIRC, if you're currently at Shevchenko(sp?)
(Sultansk is just to the north of the other)

[west jackal]

my main base is at the northern farm too
:(

[river lintel]

makes me think of going to the throne room in Anor Londo in ds3. no chest ahead...

[crimson arch]

does selling these loose pdas get rid of stash coords

[icy bough]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-meme-wojak-empathy-hug-gif-19891712

[peak eagle]

Toss the PDAs instead

[frozen flame]

nah u get info and u keep it

[river lintel]

i am yes!

[crimson arch]

thx m8s

[snow hill]

nah. You download the info they just become weights after

[frozen flame]

i wish u could steal money from the pdas

[peak eagle]

Sultansk fyi is just NE of Shevchenko

[slender scroll]

Does the main questline lead you to Cordon, or is it better to explore there on my own?

[river lintel]

nah once you download them its in your pda

[river lintel]

thank you kindly, im gonna go to yaniv now lmao

[frozen flame]

steal the coupons from some dead mfs wallet

[river lintel]

its a digital currency

[peak eagle]

eventually, but you can explore pretty much anywhere

[west jackal]

like idk how many people have progressed the story thus far but man ||zalissya|| made me feel sad

[frozen flame]

and the pda is the wallet im referring to

[river lintel]

oh yeah duh they are called wallets still lmao.

[slender scroll]

Guess imma say hi to that old fat fuck

See if he got any chicken left

[peak eagle]

he does

Endless supply of chicken

[slender scroll]

Well he' going to have to share in that case

[simple berry]

is there a comprehensible way to see my armor stats

[river lintel]

nope!

[frozen flame]

https://medal.tv/games/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-heart-of-chornobyl/clips/jbZEjxlcJXEwBRp73?invite=cr-MSxIMmIsMTM4Mjg3OTYs follow up on the hoarders stash

[peak eagle]

If you're asking numerical details, we ain't got shit lol, but I believe there's a mod

[crimson arch]

how is this worse wear worse stats mask worth more

[slender scroll]

I love the way eating works now, being able to eat multiple items at once and only getting one animation

[simple berry]

im all the way to the red forest and im still rocking tourist armor

[river lintel]

yeah mines about the same minus the pdas

[slender scroll]

Perfect balance between immersion and QoL

[simple berry]

i still dont get the whole drinking makes you hungry part doe

[river lintel]

oh from your menu?

[slender scroll]

I dont even drink water lol

[river lintel]

washes it down your pooper

[tacit glacier]

Water doesn't make you hungry. Just Energy drinks.

[icy bough]

okay i like these "puzzle stashes" or whatever they are called

[slender scroll]

Which is still kinda weird

[simple berry]

^

[peak eagle]

farmstead puzzle?

[tacit glacier]

It's not.

These drinks make your blood sugar spike and fall quickly. This makes you feel hungry sooner than usual.

[frozen flame]

i think my guy hasnt drank a single drop of water at all in the time hes been in the zone

[icy bough]

where you do a puzzle which leads you to a big loot stash.

yes

[peak eagle]

Follow the cable from the locked gate

[frozen flame]

fuck me ig

[icy bough]

ye i did it.

im starting to love these puzzles that lead you to a big loot stashes.

[simple berry]

where did you get give fully repaired ak's

[icy bough]

fuck around and find out

[frozen flame]

secret

[tacit glacier]

ik actual body reaction from irl making you hungry when stuffing yourself full of sugars in a video game. Shocking.

[slender scroll]

But i mean, do you waste more Kcal drinking a can than you get from it?

[frozen flame]

in my defense ive beaten the game with 2 endings

[crimson arch]

varan has eyes in the sky do not mess with him

[verbal oyster]

this game is unrealistic, I can't just sleep when the character gets hungry
0/10

[slender scroll]

Sure, the hunger stat could represent how hungry the player FEELS, or it could mean how much hunger he actually has

[tacit glacier]

It's less about wasting kcal and more about it making you crave some extra food afterwards.
It's a hunger meter. Not a calory meter, lol. They had to balance it out somehow.

[icy bough]

no anomalies under the bridge ? scam

[slender scroll]

The thing is though, hunger affects stamina usage. I dont think that food craving lowers stamina right?

[peak eagle]

Don't forget to jump into the teleporter

[simple berry]

bro not having a fucking minimap is killing me dawg, i cant see where im walking without having to look at my pda every 5 seconds

[icy bough]

[slender scroll]

Skill issue

[frozen flame]

the peak of stalking

[gray eagle]

people are working on it

[icy bough]

where does it take you this time ?

[slender scroll]

Just place a marker where you wanna go and use the compass

[verbal oyster]

minimap 🤢

[peak eagle]

fun place

[stoic gate]

just had a cutscene bug out and watched an AK-74 field strip itself in mid-air

[verbal oyster]

no more UI elements, please, for the love of God, no! NOOOO!

[icy bough]

huh.

[west jackal]

most normal day in the zone

[tacit glacier]

Sugary drinks make your blood sugar drop after the initial spike. Which equals getting tired faster.

[simple berry]

if markers worked like they do in death stranding where you can set up your routes with "checkpoints" i'd do it but this is just bad

fallout 4 ass markers

[crimson arch]

compass is good, just have to constantly pick where ur going though with markers

[icy bough]

i love how there is no effects too. its just "pop" you are suddenly on top of the bridge

[slender scroll]

Fair enough, i have no idea hoe that stuff works lol

[high spoke]

Any clue where to get Veles detector? didnt get mine from finishing the story mission

[tacit glacier]

Somebody worder it perfectly, lol

"Sugar is empty calories. You're teasing your body for more food thus the hunger. It's like dangling chicken in a cesspool of crocodiles."

[simple berry]

jsut me or are thunder storms 5x more common than a clear day

[gray eagle]

get a dynamic weather mod

[peak eagle]

Storm with the occasional lightning striking you

[verbal oyster]

yeah how tf are we getting hit by lightning so often
should Skif buy a lotto ticket?

[crimson arch]

ngl i find it funny condensed milk fills up so much

[gray eagle]

You can get hit by lightning

[verbal oyster]

scares me every time

[gray eagle]

Ive got 40 hours in the game and havent been hit

[simple berry]

i got hit 4 times atleast in my first like 15 hours

[verbal oyster]

been hit 2-3 times, but a lot more near misses

[peak eagle]

syrupy milk

[simple berry]

also anyone else noticed the fake distant gunshot the game places in certain quests

[sharp pendant]

I'm surprised Bartender never got someone to knock down this wall

[simple berry]

oh shit

[frozen flame]

scam

[simple berry]

seeing artefacts with no downsides is so weird

[shadow sphinx]

wtf is it possible to clear the wardens out of their chemplant base (post SIRCAA)? I've killed a ton but some of them are face tanking a mag from my dnipro

[icy bough]

DUDE i love these tiny quests.
i was about to go and i looted moose and found the pda about sido and him betraying leech
and you can actually tell him about this. Now he says he wont go to rookie village because of it.

[frozen flame]

add blackjack to the bars or smth

let me gamble my coupons away 🙏

[icy bough]

hopefully i see him again to see if that choice actually saved him or not

[uneven wedge]

Did Squint get moved in the last two patches? He hasnt turned up after the spark mission even though I helped him before

[shadow sphinx]

just blackjack? not full witcher?

[frozen flame]

poker blackjack anything

[runic quartz]

Does anyone tried loseless scaling in sc2? Does it work?

[icy bough]

its the place

[warped monolith]

dammit congrats doge YOU MADE THIS LOOK WORSE THAN IT DOES IN SOC

[icy bough]

[simple berry]

man the stealth in this game sucks, npcs are like hyper aware

[verbal oyster]

what is going on with that picatinny

got that void texture on it lol

[frozen flame]

walked into a splinter anomaly and just got a nose bleed irl what the fuck 😭

[icy bough]

surely its not that bad as gamma right ?

[obsidian thistle]

are these three weak radio-protection artifacts stacking

[peak eagle]

yes

[obsidian thistle]

badass. thx

[icy bough]

i mean they stacked on the trilogy and the modpacks soo... yeah ?

[whole oak]

Any working a-life mods this patch?

[icy bough]

it would be dumb if they just removed that feature

[peak eagle]

Me using Echo detector to find Hypercubes and Liquid Rocks

[obsidian thistle]

yeah like the feature where higher tier detectors unlocked higher quality artifacts

[frozen flame]

damn ok :(

[icy bough]

oh wait you dont need high tier detectors for endgame artifacts ?

[peak eagle]

nope, I already have 3 liquid rocks and 4 hypercubes

[icy bough]

wtf thats cool

[obsidian thistle]

where have you been hunting, stalker

[peak eagle]

no thunderberries or compass just yet, I need it

[icy bough]

but then whats the point of other detectors just convenience ?

[obsidian thistle]

range too

[floral venture]

i read something about some of the sensors around activating at specific times?

[whole oak]

Anyone using an alife mod?

[fresh pendant]

Anybody found an ACOG or the 8x scope attachments, yet?

[peak eagle]

the Scanner like the one Skif had at the beginning of the game yes

[fresh pendant]

I am.

[lethal breach]

No 8x scopes, just 4x

[peak eagle]

I'm trying to find all of em for the achievement

[obsidian thistle]

spectreDR from Huron, same magnification as ACOG

[shadow sphinx]

LOL ok don't try to take ward base at chemplant. I'm watching them spawn in right where I shoot them dead in the hed.

[ancient oar]

no need for 8x scope in this game (i guess yall are using mods that include long range encounters shrug)

[lethal breach]

You can buy an acog from wreck in Yaniv

[whole oak]

which?

[wicked flax]

average pripyat loadout

[rose venture]

Stalker blin

[fresh pendant]

I was using Roadside Panic but it broke during the patch. I'm using "A-Life Badaid Fix" right now.

[icy bough]

Lesson learned.
If you looted a stash and then got a stash info about the same stash you looted, The loot does not respawn

[rose venture]

Oh shit, I wonder if my save is broke since the patch

[fresh pendant]

I'm seeing an attachment called "Storm Falcon 8x" on a few different sites being listed as an attachment.

[obsidian thistle]

descriptive readable ammo is the patrician choice

[rose venture]

Oh no

[icy bough]

bro can't comprehend icons

[obsidian thistle]

bro doesnt need to unlike you

[rose venture]

Okay, I realized that I just loaded into a moral dilemma, should I kill the zombie, guys?

[peak eagle]

Just toss anything you dont want out, it'll save you coords for something you actually can't find

[glass orchid]

good that’s like having a feature where someone’s beaten you to the stash, imagine a mod where u get stashes but it has a percentage to be empty with a note left just shitting on you

[fresh pendant]

Kill

[obsidian thistle]

its a drooling vegetable, put it out of its misery man

Just waiting for a nvg and thermal mod and a tarkov gun pack

[fresh pendant]

He was a good stalker.

[icy bough]

oh its not that.
i mean like i fully looted a stash right now. 5 min later i got a stash cord for the same stash.

I went to check the same stash to see if loot respawns like in gamma but turns out it does not.

[lethal breach]

There is an 8x scope, for the vs vintar which already has a 4x scope which cannot be replace :D

[gray eagle]

my game runs better on higher settings except when I open the map I drop to 34 fps

[floral venture]

do you know what time the one west of rostok activates? the pda next to it implied 22:00 but it just came and went with no activate

[whole oak]

is it wild, or fairly tame?

[ancient oar]

isn't the longest range encounter 80m?

[peak eagle]

Not sure about that one, been putting it off that for a bit

[verbal oyster]

there's an 8x for the Vintar at Yaniv as well.
haven't seen the US version 8x scope (from m700/clusterfuck) in a vendor yet but it can be console commanded in lol

[fresh pendant]

Bandaid Fix is pretty tame. It's definitely an improvement but it's far from something like Roadside Suicide.

[icy bough]

a freedomer / a former duty / a bandit from garbage sitting near a campfire

[shadow sphinx]

does main story line take you to Burnt Forest or is it just explore have fun stalker zone

[fresh pendant]

I was wondering if maybe someone had datamined attachments and listed the scope from the M700/Clusterfuck as a swappable attachment.

[lethal breach]

Yeah and they complain about sid :)

[shadow sphinx]

and then you gave them a lead shower?
