It all got repurposed into Spark armor.
i gotta find that shit
Anyone know where to buy 7.62x39 ammo? My PKM is hungry and I can't find enough to satisfy her
Spark armor in general?
yea
hunter in red forest has some i think
There is one next to STC.
Also one at Duga.
Have not found more yet.
There is no way I picked up the rhino for the first time to have THIS rip from leather on my hip, right on queue
Tho funny that on top of Spark bunker you find Monolith Exo
ive been playing with it since i got it , im doing quests in red forest with armor i got in garbage
only redeeming part is the helmet but it aint worth it no more
Saved up on repairs
i doubt
Is rhino good?
very
But yeah at Duga you have the Spark Seva I.
And on top of STC you get Spark combat suit.
It 1 taps everybody in the head if you can aim well. Just slow to fire and reload, so big firefights you'll want a bigger gun.
But it fits in your pistol slot so it's really nice as a sidearm
I just swapped my usp for m10 so I can brrrrrrt all over bloodsuckers
also you can put a scope on it
Idk if I want to change again
get to someone who get install the rail ans buy tye scope run it as a sniper
I’d love to be able to silence the m14.. need muh nato dmrs
you can
anyone know how to get the CFGs most mods edit? the place modders point to "\Stalker2\Content\GameLite\GameData" only has a scripts folder in it
@simple berry
That cat doing the cat running wheel wrong
does it need an upgrade? I couldn’t find any compatible suppressors
How are you looking into it? You need to unpack the pak files
Im loving this loadout
Perfect
Dont know about the upgrade but there definetly is a suppressor for the EMR/M14
there are no pak files either
I've been all over the main road, from one side of the red forest to the other. I think it's just bugged, I haven't even accepted a quest yet and he has no option to talk about it. So idk.
Many such cases. 
They arent in content/gamelite but content/paks itself, then just unpack them and you will see content/gamelite/gamedata and everything
Should have stayed in the swamp
I think that’s the one in Pripyat you’re talking abt which I’m no where near in story
?
Paks
Backrooms anomaly
Then unpack all of them, bam you got what you wanted
and how do I know which one contains what I need?
there are a 121 pak files in there
Trial and error
yeah i dont think theyve been publically catalogued yet
But hey atleast you dont have to reverse ingeneer 15 years old game engine
he is trying to cross this dimension
ok... anyone know where to find objprototypes?
kinda not planning on spending my afternoon on this, just want a mod working that isnt updated anymore
What mod, objprototypes wasnt touched by update
I'm probably the only one here who sees this and goes "Oh man, I want to cut that burl, that'd look great"
no water slowdown and ledge grabbing aint working with 1.0.2
That what?
burl
They both work on my end tho, look for merge issues and incompatibilities i merged the files myself so i may have made the changes
Hi all. Tell me how to change the FOV of a weapon? Does anyone know a mod for throwing a grenade on G?
You can put an acog on a Groza or is it a mod?
I had all my mods merged, didnt work
Be sure you properly packed it, correct folder structure and all
It's essentially a tree's immune response, it makes some REALLY cool figured grain that is used in a lot of fine woodworking
used this for it https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/457
Yeah i do it manually, none of this bs
also yes, its vanilla, but you need to upgrade it to have a rail
bruh.. Where? huh?
im not skilled enough to do it manually
Alife mods?
it with the rail by itself is pretty rad honestly
Did the author leave or just didnt update it yet? Like whats the status
No mods at all
much better sights
not updated yet ig?
I never updated the cfg from 1.0 since i modified it myself for 1.01 and up so idk
Sidorovich died of cringe
and it still works?
Yes, its update proof in fact, all it does is change height required for ledge grab from 0.8 to 0.4 lmao
Its text file that has single line changed
But it is 
There is 1 changed, other changes are either from other mod or mod author forgot to revert them, i did it with single value edit
It may have been merged with other mod of the author by accident
OR author did updates which changed that stuff, i used only the very first iteration of the mod
Any mod to get rid of the 72 hour refresh for missions? feels like I wander into a new safe zone do a quest and that’s it for that area
One message removed from a suspended account.
Hey anyone else finding the noontide guide doesnt actually....guide?
edits quite a few things
Is this unique or the common variant?
I love how they fix the game. In some cases it becomes even more broken lol
Oh yeah that explains why i can ledge over bus but cant ledge over table, i fucked up 
unique
lmaooo
unique, and in my opinion, best all around gun
why they are different in weight? both are unmodded, and the one with higher durability is cheaper?
Hey, dumbasses, if you are going to threaten me at gunpoint, maybe actually have me at gunpoint first so I don't blast you before you get your guns out
I just edited vault over max depth
also no clue which one I need in this, I dont understand literally any of it
I've used it from the moment I got it until the end, both close range and medium range (theres no long rang fights anyway); spares ammo, powerful ammo, head taps
ammo inside?
Isnt there some sort of PAK viewer?
So I had been here before, cleared the place out of a bunch of zombies and a controller, and stashes what I couldn't carry in the bunker's safe here maybe like 20h of play time before.
I just got back here, it's instead populated by a bloodsucker with a couple dead people that weren't there before inside.
And my stashed loot was all there. 
also just realized there is a chat for mod making, my B
gsc should fire all current devs and hire better ones
unloaded them both
so it's not gunpoint, it's just a general idea of a threat
¯_(ツ)_/¯
hey well, the game works great when it works
if anything, I had them at gunpoint
integrated scope?
well it is g37 so both have them, they look identical
I’ve been having issues where I step between areas and my 8gb 4050 maxes out until I leave the area and stuff. Any idea how I fix that? I’ve lowered all of my settings to help and it still happens
I think it’s because one’s at lower condition
why tf did they not pay H&K for the fuckin licenses
Wait, looked at it wrong
nevermind one has rotatable magazine
????
double magazine
"both are unmodded"
Yeah that's just the best case of the world actually changing when I'm not around that I've seen so far, thought it was super cool.
Maybe the AI director bases more interaction around places you've left stuff in?
Just spitballin.
well one had attachment not mod 
also do you all sell this shit, is there point keeping them
i aint ever seen an npc have an attachment on their gun so you put it on
i havent used it a while so i forgot, i put it into stash

also weapon veriety is so stale
You can buy more rockets, but all the pda's I sell.
mf put a BAS gun on his thumbnail and called it Stalker 2
ah yes, I escaped from hell
operator slop
Have any of you guys tried the fully modded Zubr 19? Thing is a full automatic laser and dirt cheap ammo
it's clickbait jamboree out there
You can also get one at full condition from the warehouse next to the old Brain Scorcher bunker entrance. Just needs a bit of parkour and to kill a poltergeist
I've seen one morron do an easter egg video and litteraly write "firemen clothes in pripyat basement - chernobyl TV show"
OH RIGHT thank god it's a fiction
Chernobyl never happened, it was clearly staged /s
AFTER GETTING JUMPED BY 3 BLOODSUCKERS AND A TON OF SNORKER DAMN RIGHT I DESERVE SOME LOOT
Does anyone understand how penetration works in S2? Does it just translate to "bonus" damage against all targets, or does it negate armor defense without boosting damage against unarmored ones
and does it have any effect on shooting through walls
I believe every enemy has armored value, regardless of mutant or NPC. NPC depends on armor and helmet, mutant depends on what mutant it is (I'm guessing on that part).
Flat damage reduction, gets reduced by more penetration. Idk if it lets you shoot through objects, I'd love to know that as well.
mod?
For now
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/389?tab=files
Be sure to download the MutantLoot_EN version
so... for what weapon?
Wonder if mutant parts are more viable than weapons and artefacts for selling
so, mutants require AP ammo and not expansive ammo ?
No fucking wonder there's two dead dudes in SEVA's when this place had 3 bloodsuckers chilling around it, and a pack of snorkers running in after the action.
im surprised how much ukrainian i understand as a pole, way more than russian
@scarlet falcon ok remerged, works now
AS Val
I see, that helps a lot, thank you
I'd wager that, since the mutants have more flesh than armor, you'd have better luck with expansive. My GUESS is that mutants have a huge hp pool with low armor. Conversely, NPC's have low hp with high armor, depending on the armor.
but as val has built-in scope already right?
Thats VS Vintorez
The difference? One has parts with smaller tolerance.
Making it more reliable
Ingame one is DMR second is AR
So its funny that the 8x scope is for the AR version
Here you have the SR-3M at top, under it is the AS Val and the bottom VSS Vintorez.
i dunno did u read what ur own images says
but i never found vintar without scopes
It's cause the vintar default is 4x, that scope is 8x
So you can actualy put it on?
On the vintar yeah, when you remove it it goes back to 4x
Lavina
I was using a rhino and I was killing bloodsuckers with 2 shots with either expandable and AP, idk what was going on(stalker diff)
Thats neat.
||Do these just randomly start popping up after the fall of SIRCAA? Or is this a story thing I walked in on early?||
does "significant boost in lethality" make it do more damage than a weapon a teir higher?
||I shot the emitter and it blew up. Idk?
||
what does everyone do with all the broken weaposn
I was answering wrong thing, thought you were talking about weapons LOL
I wis htehre was a way to permanantly get rid of them without just dropping them on the ground
Red = Toss after emptied.
Yellow = Keep too sell if I can carry
I do occasionally see something like a rare broken gun and save it to repair
And they complain theres no women .... Blind people
There's like 5
I just use a mod to reduce repair costs, so anything I get and repair is a net positive 
i know was joking
well there is about 30 Stalker total in the Zone so thats a good quota
Yeah honestly. For a hellish landscape that would irradiate any chance of normal children, I'd imagine most women wouldn't even think of going there at all for any reason. Only poor, lonely bastards with no hope of a future and no chance at kids anyways. Or I guess a few woman in a likewise scenario.
you can sell the red ones to ragnar if they are above 0%, but he buys em for pennies so not worth the carry weight
You ever notice how all the women in the zone are running shops except for the ||SIRCAA chick?||
Also there is no reason for a goodlooking woman like that to ever go to the zone. She can make more money starting a OF Account than she will ever make in trading or artifact hunting so there is that
straw hair lady / fps killer
We got whatsherface in Malachite running the store, Freedom armor merchant, Harpy as technician in Yanov
And also THAT BITCH running Sultansk ||though not for long.||
||
nope she gone||
wish grenades didn't dud when you throw them in safezone
I bug changed skifs voice now he sounds like speaking from radio
cool
the radio filter is so broken
ik, cuts in and out so often.
just audio filters in general. Even mask sound filters are fucked.
Maybe he ingested too many Radioisotopes
or exo sounds, sometimes you need to reequip the armor
Skif was never real, he was a tangible illusion created by what remains of the C Consciousness. Trust me, people can’t lie on the internet.
I miss the phsss phss phsss
I'm fairly certain there's supposed to be a stash here wtf?
stashes have been awol for me as well
it almost sounds like he is speaking from gas mask which makes sense 
predator stash for instance. simply not there
huh that sucks
all that shows me is that they can make stuff appear and disappear so there is hope for dynamic stashes and stuff
Some parts of stashes are random, or at least weapon attachment placement
Why does everyone have exoskeletons? I mean, literally everyone? ||I had to fight off a herd of wards coming for Malachite with PKMs and shit||
Like that it was not there physically?
ye
Because the rank system is borked.
game progression is like oblivion right now, you get good gear? so does everyone else
Oof.
Tying NPC armor to player rank like in Skyrim
To be fair, Ward of all groups should be able to afford exoskeletons when they’re getting serious. They’re also the only group with functioning vehicles.
it feels like towards the end of the game everyone just has exos and high tier guns, shotguns taking 5> shots to kill someone feels terrible
Perimeter also has functioning vehicles.
Yeah there are mods already that adjust the NPC gear.
Everyone and their mother has a seva suit at least once the monolith comes back
If only NPCs dropped armors they wear
all i know is my fully automattic Gaussgatling does not care
They do, very rarely though dependent on their HIDDEN rank
The task ''The Assault on the Duga'' is not updated at the stage of securing a position at the checkpoint. I killed all the Monoliths and nothing happens. Does anyone know what needs to be written in the console for the task to be updated?
looks like someone needs to uncouple that mechanic
I want to strip those 6 spark soldiers of their exosuits so i can sell them to aford repairing mine.
Go in
This is how you know you're enemy to a faction lol
What did you do to the eggheads?
Fuck the Wards
Actually Ward would be based if they just started destroying the Zone instead of enabling some idiots to poke it
where?there are no more passages here. just empty buildings and my allies standing in the same pose as shown in the screenshot.
is armor worth buying?
Nah thats Duty stuff
nah duty was all about hunting dogs
not finding stashes is being true to the OG games 
If you're early in, sure, but be warned of the potentially high repair costs of the exo
So apparently this is where you get the SIRCA-1 Suite, modeled after the Spark suit. Pretty sure it only shows up after||SIRCAA falls and the Monolith rises||
||The south Monolith will rise again!||
Kinda just stumbled on it while exploring Yantar Production
the Seva-I suit always show up here, it's a default spawn
we should really have a Spoiler Chat
Or just don't click spoiler tags 
I've yet to see the Shield of Duty suit just yet
there is plenty spoilers flying around without tags
how did duty lose rostock, that treaty was cooked
they gave it up
insane
I too wouldn't move my ass from Rostok
best location in the zone for a base ngl
you know there was this dog they saw and well what do you know poof everyone gone doghunting
this dude is a bigger scammer than Sidorovich
like... tf you mean ur gonna buy my anti rad for 90
gotta love a good conga line

economy in Stalker is borked top to bottom. once i get the time i will change everything about it
16k for 6 Bloodsuckers (1-2 tentacles each), 10 snork's, a few rats, and some random pelts from the snorks/suckers.
Does that seem balanced to you guys? It cost me a ton of ammo, probably 10k in repairs to weapons, and probably 20k or more to the armor.
Modular Hard Mode makes the economy much more bearable, in my opinion
and even on vet diff i find way to many meds and loose loot
i miss hawaiian "aloha!" scream
This is without taking into account the other loot though. Which more than pays for the cost on my stuff with about 10k left to pay for ammo and save the rest.
i am sitting comfortably at ~ 160 RGD-5s atm i can arm Bomberman for a month
I just noticed the monster energy cans LMAO
So I am using the Deadeye... but no matter what I do it won't accept any attachments? Any advice?
I thought it was just a UDP.
Install mods that reduce loot
same and over 300 medkits, you can walk out with 5 medkits and come back with over 30 easily
Haven't been on since the update hit. Are things actually "fixed" now or still just janku?
? Why? Then I woulnd't be able to pay for it just like I said I was
Money isn't an issue once you get high carrying capacity and start selling top tier broken guns to ragman
is this from mod?
never seen trader sell this normally i think
That's vanilla dawg
Prices are borked all over. Stuff is either way too expensive way too cheap or does not pay out nearly enough
He means the drug isnt sold by medics
hold on, was the dnipro nerfed? I dont remember it having below 1 damage
mods starting to conflict with echoter way too much XD
Skyrim problems all over again
hmm, yaniv mechanics cant install enviromental protection upgrades, who can do it? is there a mechanic in pripyat?
at least in skyrim you never had that problem at like 10 mods
Anyone can help meunderstand why my deadeye won't take attachments?
the one for fall damage conflicts with the parkoor mod and with a knife stamina reduction mod 😛
Funny how a lot of values are stored in one file. poor file structuring
LOL that completely depends on what you installed. If I installed one mod that changed the perk tree, and then tried another at the same time, it'd crash every time. I remember this because I did this specifically with some of the first mods I ever installed, and had this exact issue I had to sort out.
General rule of thumb, If it effects the same thing or mechanics as another mod, they're most likely going to conflict
do you know that feeling when u want to stash your shit and acidently pres "take all" button? i fucking hate that
it seems implied to be at gunpoint but the gameplay doesn't match up
lmaooo, yeah. Been there done that
esp when I have the sledgehammer equipped
there is a mod for that soon ™️
that's the eastern way of balancing numbers, like tarkov: you put either huge or tiny numbers and when people complain you try the opposite extreme
havent played since the last update, is the performance better?
"oh Ivan how much HP for scav/mutant ? lets try 50. oh is too much ? try 5. Oh is too little no ? blyat put 5000"
nah its got nothing to do with eastern or western developers. its undercooked is what it is
I know, I wanted to make a joke is all, because I see similar balancing problems in those games where things are WAY too much or too little
Does anybody know how to recharge the weird bolt?
average day in the zone pls kill me
No. But i'd combine it with the weird nut and throw it into a whirlgig
That's about 10k creds right there
Guys ... I'm looking to tweak the launch parameters for the xbox version, and have come to find out that the changes need to be made to the MicrosoftGame.config file.
Is there a compiled list of all the commands/options that we can add there !?
the ammo costs more at this point
Yeah it still helps cover the cost for when you do have to kill these bastards
isn'T that your fault for not shooting buckshot then?
yes it is but buckshot isnt that fancy
Sledgehammer go brrrrrttt
if i go broke i do it in style
I love tap-tap-tappin a bloodsucker to death as it does it's first leap on me.
tbh i was just standing on the car in the beginning shooting in circles like that one wolfenstein commercial
im just omw to the guide so i can upgrade some stuff at ||Bolero||
arent we all
That clip was gangster 😂
at this point i should add that mutant loot mod
Mutant loot is great but its selling prices are wild
too much?
Yeah but thankfully has an addon that reduces it
or opposite
ohh nice the only thing is that without a workaround you cant really remove it anymore im thinking of just finishing this playthrough and using it for the next
pootin on poor loners in the zone to the max! :3
Hi, did you know if have NVG in stalker 2 ?
Nope
not yet (i hope)
i see a lot of npc with them maybe in future i hope
Honestly just turn your brightness up a teeny little bit and you will only need the flashlight for indoors
Yup, I was just looking for something more realistic thanks
did anyone manage to get this stash near Poppy field? I cant find it
Is the arena blocked from a certain round onwards until you complete enough of the msq? If yes which mission of msq?
there's just pile of garbage on top of each other, there's nothing
jesus can they drop a auto lean remove hotfix is that so much job
I see you are a man of culture as well
||did you look up on a pipe?||
literally cant aim in tight spots when the character just jiggles from lean to lean
another huge problem is physical items if you step on them they move your character, even rotate you !
in a cave trying to kill snorks -> cant aim at them as Skif just lean rights, leans left leans right, leans left
i got an aneurism yesterday when i tried to blindfire over cover and i shot the cover 50% of the time
I LOVE CONTEXTUAL LEANING
anyone know where to get the holemaker?
what an insane feature on PC
yeah the auto leaning is complete garbage, manual lean is just 100% better
agree
Bought in malachite
stalker 2 tastes so good when you don't have bitches in your ear saying vanilla sucks
whats that?
Forced console features on PC
Stalker 2 tastes very good, but some parts of the beef is utterly RAW lol
if done right, but in Stalker 2 it doesnt work 100% as intended, on top of that, you cant lean when you are further from a geometry which sucks coz you want to be able to peak even when NOT near objects, the Stalker 2 leaning sucks completely
Settlement at west of rostok, think you need msq to get there
anybody know a trader that sells rpg ammo?
its like the game is trying to learn me tarkov jiggle peek
manual lean bound to Z and Y on a QWERTZ keyboard...
yea i suffered too
have it bound to q and e
same haha
with quick use on f1 and f2, like the OG
west of rostok is yantar
agree
also have q and e swapped
its west of chemical plant
West of chemical plant, mb I'm dumb
lean left on E, lean right on Q
dw im lost on topology as well
waaaait, its underground!!! ...
what in tarnation
isnt that a ward base tho? wont they shoot on sight?
ohh yea that one there is another one i thought about
Is the difficulty in 2 different from how it worked in the old games?
lets you strafe easier while leaning cuz its easier to hit Q and D at the same time or E and A, thats how I have been doing it for ages in fps games
At the chem plant they will, but not at malachite as far as I'm aware. I had trouble there after a certain main mission that they || get hostile ||
thats why i toggle it
hate lean on toggle
But not before that
theres the mode toggle and hold at the same time
she must be Japanese they do everything the other way 😄
oh yea but it depends on situation
hungary
I can't unlearn r6 leaning 
Is there a chat for S2 spoilers?
mark it as spoiler
can just use spoler tags
Does it seem stupid to anyone else that ||artifacts lose power outside the zone?||
not really no
what do i do now
yes, why would anyone buy them
hello neighbour
escape from the cage... obviously

It feels like they go from there being a dozen reasons for people to purchase or collect them, to nothing
hmmmm, you smart ass
||oh cool, the gravity defying rock I bought for 4 million just fuckin turned to dust||
thats more like maximum effective
artifacts don't loose their properties suddenly when you cross a imaginary line. they fade out over time
I love stalker 2 but the lack of AK anything makes me sad
yeah I got it! my bad I didnt notice on the compas that it says "under", I wasn't really looking for underground entrance the first time
it really is
what should i do
should've named it "Sloppy Poppy Stash"
I know but it still makes the appeal of the zone less interesting. Who cares about a room temp superconductor if it stops working after 2 months, and you gotta spend 75 mil to get a new one
die?
Arch-Artifacts dont show up on detectors i believe so, drink an entire bottle of vodka and hope for the best
Fuck it we ball
Duty started as survivors of military operation that was meant to set off a nuke in the powerplant. sorry for late response, had work meeting.
preferably nothing, Im pretty sure the "weird bolt" artifact that you can get in there still chashes the game if an emission hits
thats a good tip thanks
Is that old stalker or new stalker lore
(I didn't play CS)
wait does it get picked up by my veles tho?
and yet all they are remembered for is hunting dogs
Anyone know what this flaoting backpack near the duty base is? Never seen this as a lootable before
nu
sadge
@royal mural dont
oh ok well since im a stalker im still gonna go for it ofc
the poppy field one is extremely annoying to find cuz of that
Is that because of how they can die to the dogs spawning over and over?
Can't you just ||slam 15 energy drinks while searching it||
Yeah but its a massive field and its in the flowers sooooooo
Make like an engi student and get heart palpitations from monster zero
needle in haystack
well next time ill listen to you
wtf is that death screen???
Is that a mod
Hulk got the succ by the twister
Any info where can I modify these weapons?
Please I need it
i got so angry so i use a deathscreen that makes me feel yea i get you
lvl 83, damn
Highter tier equipment needs higher tier tech, yaniv has the best
Duty were always portrayed as a little too big for their shoes wanna be monsterhunters and guardians of the average stalker in the zone. Yet all they ever did was tell me what to kill because they were to busy getting drunk in Rostok
"I'm going to kill chaos" type energy. Sure, let's just shoot and blow up the hole in reality, that will work
"let me get a good look at you" proceeds to stare at gun she is still cleaning
Freedom always were the ones who actually did shit
Freedom smoking pot and smoking monolith
if by shit you mean drugs then yes
that and talking philosophical BS
yea
keeping the south safe from Monolith is a noble cause, plus weed is a good perk
freedom
well i guess its actually the east now
thats what i use for deathscreen ||https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/108||
since stalker 2 kinda flipped our understanding of how the map is oriented
Only Faction worth a damn in the Zone is Monolith cuz they get shit done. No discussions, straight to the point. Boom headshot, moving on
Wiped by a single crackhead, rip monolith
hopefully stalker 2 multiplayer is decent
anyone got some suggestions to make interiors brighter while also not making the nights too bright? i find interiors way too dark, even interiors with alot of windows with the sun shining through its literally dark and hard to see - i adjusted my gamma to fix this but this has made the nights a little too bright. i want to be able to check houses when the sun is up without using a flashlight.
i doubt it would be the campaign co-op sadly. but maybe something akin to warfare mode?
@somber leaf i dont even find that artefact in there im just getting sucked off all the time
Ah. There is also one point where they fought the military
when i compare my game to say streamers with a 4090 etc there game just looks so much brighter indoors with more natural lighting even tho i also have same settings on epic etc
sucked off the ground* goddamnit
I'm not sure what to expect from a multiplayer to be honest. the only worth while endeavor i could think about is sandbox with coop. anything else isn't worth my time
Have hope for campaign co-op.
have you played the og stalker multiplayer?

Mods bratan
have i played deathmatch? yeah a few times it was bad
@royal mural watch a yt guide, its a bit more involved that just junning inside
Devs have already stated they won't make a co-op mode. Someone would have to make a mod for it
for me the multiplayer felt like a counterstrike with mods haha
I do have hope but seeing as how some weapons are not usable in multiplayer and that it clearly states Skins in all preorder stuff im thinking it wont be co-op
ohh ok thank you very
We have SoC and CoP mods. UE should be easier to mod it in
exactly
I’m still confused as to what could they possibly mean by “multiplayer”
anyway i just updated Gamma so ima go play the new gamma for a bit
probably either like old stalker MP was before or the entire map with capturable bases quests and stuff with other stalkers running around
it would be so easy for them to just make this a open world sandbox with factions to choose from and players being able to play together in small groups
Did I really just read the ||strelok ||ending right?|| he joins the c-consciousness and bends their power to basically close the zone off to the world and become its guardian?||
Yaniv, best tech there that can upgrade anything
that would also be moddable as hell people could host modded dedicated servers to actually open it up a bit more and maybe even actually get some decent stalker larping
just a tip for the future if you wanna uuse spoilers you might wanna include ||STRELOK Ending||
I thought he canonically ||mowed down the C-Con like dogs||
maybe add some more spoilers tag? jesus ty
now i know hes in the game ty
This just made me imagine an RP style server and that makes me happy
25 minutes of broken Russian and English banter and shit posting via PDA chat
there was once a multiplayer mod for anomaly i think, but someone did a titanfall 2 to it and it became unusable
it got infested with viruses sadly
someone ruined the fun immediately as we closed in on the holy grail of stalker open world multiplayer
if it does happen you will find me at rostok living the best freedom life
Immediately gunned down by no fun duty
@somber leaf im gonna try it another time i have more fly time with that anomaly than boeing
not anymore, remember in stalker 2 freedom won and a ceasefire was inducted
Haven't played. But good
I still find it hard to believe freedom won anything
Freedom hard carries duty shoots dogs and does push ups
it happens before the events of the game but yeah freedom beat duty in canon
They didn't win, Ward came in and forced almost everyone to sign a truce
Speaking about multilayer I do belive this game would benefit from not having that as a focus
So is ward like, the UN, a secret gov group, CIA, or what
ward is special division assigned to guarding zone
So military?
Has the labdoor near Noontide base not opening been fixed as well as the ||Defence of Zalyssia||?
Eh, it's 3rd faction military that got sick of duty and freedom never doing anything
SIRCAA basically military stalkers with a lot of leeway and protection from a massive organization who police the zone
The ISPF guys you fight are the closest the game has to military
Yeah fuck those guys
they look cool, badass ponchos
Destiny 2 Hunter looking MFs
So UN/gov funded org to keep shit in line. Like if UNISG stopped being secretive and started running the place
ISPF is military. Ward is the paramilitary branch of SIRCAA which itself is either funded or subsidized by the government but not actually part of the government if I'm not mistaken
with the added tag of being the lap dogs of SIRCAA
Huh, they just copied that name from Roadside picnic
Ward is part of SIRCAA though.
She SIRCAA on my ward until I stalker
hi folks, whenever I reach chemical plant Ward starts shooting. I have Ward Seal in my inventory from Korshunov. Is it a bug or feature?
Has the labdoor near Noontide base not opening been fixed as well as the ||Defence of Zalyssia||? Anyone able to answer this?
If any mod is comflicting it to any other mod how to fix that ??
gonna have to learn how to merge paks
Don't use one of those mods
These are like the two biggest problems rn
there's resources in here somewhere its easy
They hostile? Check the map and see if Ward shows up red
i want to use Mutant loot mod with grok mutant health one
Damn, was hoping that'd be fixed with the patch
Do ecologists work for SIRCAA or Ukraine
they're government funded i don't believe they're sircaa
Probably want to ask in #╟⚒stalker2™-mods-making-discussion
ecologists should be Ukraine, but many ecologists joined SIRCAA. Could also be many ecologists are independents tbf
they immediately start shooting, yes they are 100% hostile
I mean on the map. If you hover over Zalyssia it could be green if you have good relations with loners. Check the same with chemical plant if it's red they are hostile and it's working as intended. Have you done the SIRCAA mission on the side of ||noontide|| or Ward?
Yes, I have choosen Strider after SIRCAA
That's why.
is 3-5k reward normal for main missions?
Yes. If you want cash better off hunting artefacts and selling those imo.
i barely have 2k left after any sort of run, but i guess i'll focus on artifacts then
wait, they attack me only in Chemical plant. The base at the entrance to the cooling plant region is ok and they don't attack me there
Artefacts is good for money. Don't know if the bread glitch works still or no but if you want the extra cash I recommend doing that as economy in Stalker 2 is a bit harsh imo.
it is harsh, but even after the last patch which supposedly fixes economy, its still bad
Ah don't know why that is.
wait, I don't have access to go there yet
Then don't go there yet.
just make access
how do
Buy early acces for only 10 dollars extra
how can I disable SSAO? in S2HoC
Lockpicking lawyer told me RPG-7 fits all locks
Shading low
why does no one sell psiblock?
thanks. that will mess up flashlight customizer, but I don't need that
Because it's nearly pointless in this game. Just use a medkit
it gets rid of annoying spawns of hallucinated enemies I think
Like some of the older Stalkers the best way to earn money is artefact hunting, especially artefact quests for like specific artefacts
Its still not great to be honest. Economy is fucked
thanks, i'll be on the lookout
I believe it's meant to mostly be a loot item because psy damage is already pretty rare in S2 lol
If an Artifact says its worth 70000 i am expecting a payout of 70000 so i can repair my shit get some ammo and a bite to eat before heading back out to get more glowing trash for the collectors at home
that's its base value. Traders will likely offer less
Yeah but this is following New Vegas logic where the "value" of an item in your inventory is a suggestion lmfao
traders are also the only ones paying you for them at all
Just trade artefacts in for quests. You'll get more money and you'll know your payout ahead of time
Or you know i will just rewrite the entire economy and not bother playing by these stupid rules
That's also an option
ah yes. cheating. 
The economy is really dumb but after GAMMA I'm kind of used to shit economies in Stalker anyway 
Market chain. You are the 1st lvl (the gatherer) traders are 2nd and then outside the zon is 3rd. Traders won't offer the market value because they'd make no money selling it off. Also traders/mechanics will give you better prices with better rep for that faction
no thats your mom
If the bread glitch hasn't been fixed yet just do that. Why waste energy making a mod
no need to get defensive
it's a single-player game, cheat all you want
Artefacts are literally worthless lumps of rocks in GAMMA so it's actually not too different from Stalker 2
Damn bro good looks on actually understanding the economy. Most ppl think that’s just a game function to keep you broke.
in gamma it totally is 
but here... who knows what gsc's been cooking.
"Hey here's this legendary one of a kind artefact I found in this anomaly field. Can you give me a good price since I have high reputation with your faction?"
"Best I can do is 2000 koupons buddy"
Oh no the game does 100% want to keep you broke with the high prices for repairs
People don't know that?
I mean I wasn't gonna sell my weird ball anyway but at least don't insult me lmao
Apparently
Honestly if you sell whatever armor you aren’t using while exploring you should be fine anyways. But yeah the repair cost is insane
yes i noticed after i saved their asses a couple of times from the brink of annihilation they will pay me 755 instead of 750K for a artifact how generous of them i bet their family has to starve to death now
Honestly not really a fan of the artefact rework in Gamma, would prefer if you still needed the containers but oh well.
I'm never selling off my uniques, they go in my chest!
I don't think koupon make sense in lore because like... you can't use them outside the Zone? It's worthless? Why even be a Stalker if you just need money for living in the mainland?
Do they not emit radiation in you backpack anymore?
artefacts don't emit radiation in gamma anymore. they just increase or decrease radiation protection
Nope. Containers aren't needed anymore at all. Not in inventory, not on belt.
Hallelujah no more misery type bullshit
I only have that rule with Guns, for some reason with armor I just can’t get away from my lil 3kg Eco suit. The weight and mobility and ability to have certain artifacts with no upgrades is so appealing
I never liked the artefact container system but I think they should still emit radiation on your belt lol
I just wish there were more Monolith suits in the game. Unfortunate that you only get that one suis (Curundum?) after a certain quest, wish I could get it earlier.
do even need this guy's help in navigating the field? is it worth taking the quest he gives?
do it sell him the pic and KILL HIM
You can give the icon to him, get the gun, kill him, then pick up the icon and give it to the original dude.
Honestly I didn't mind having to get better containers in order to use better artefacts. Just feels correct that you'd have to be more careful.
hes a prick that leads stalkers into the field to loot em
devious af
what he do with the icon tho?
oh that guy. i just iced him after he told me a little bit too much about his scheme
That sequence of events reminded me that this is very much a Stalker game with immersive sim elements lol
is there an extended mag for the AS Lavina?
fair enough, im conviced, gonna merc him real well
Everything he offers is optional
Selling it lol dude is completely motivated by the grind
One thing Stalker 2 needs to add is being able to take coupons from people you've killed
Koupons are cryptocurrency so that would be weird
Is this really that bad? I get less than 1k for killing 3 flesh. The only real money comes from stuff that takes a ton of money to kill. And it seems like it never even covers the cost for repairs & ammo together.
Kill tougher mutants
nah man its all in the blockchain
Idk bring the PDA to a mechanic and have him haxxorman it. Giving you a part of the coupons and him the rest.
what happened to roubles?
take it from their PDAs?
Don't think too hard about it this game is very dumb when you think about its little details for more than a little
wait when did this was added?
This is 6 bloodsuckers, 10 snorks, and a few rats. It took around 35k for repairs on everything.
mod
better than earning nothing from killing mutants
Yeah I know. Honestly wish they didn't go with the coupons thing and kept the roubles (or whatever currency Ukraine uses atm)
Are you seriously complaining about loot from one of the weakest mutants in the game isn't worth much?
Agreed, Bazinga is saying it's too much money.
damn, gonna download rn, better worth my money to kill and gain something than just sink ammo
better than rusty wire in the eye
no one really knows but GSC probably removed it because it's Russian currency and they thought this route would be cooler than just using Hryvnia instead
Wait y’all been skinning mutants this whole time? 
Yeah reparing fully upgraded stuff is costly
beware heard mutant loot mods can cause crashes
if you remove em
there is an app... mod for that
fair enough i guess
Where is the stupid inductor ima loose my mind
once you start game with this mod on it stays on or crashes
No, I'm saying it's a healthy amount of money. Bazinga is saying it's too much or unbalanced. I barely get enough to even pay for ammo, I don't see how it's unhealthy.
huh. the amount seems ok imo
For some reason the more I help the scientists by doing their quests, the less reputation I got with them, to the point they became hostile to me... Any way to fix it ? Maybe a console command ?
Yeah I spent 35k in repairs, it basically only paid for half and the rest of the loot barely left me with savings after finishing repairs.
crypto makes sense if you think about it. no way of stealing it, its universal, it doesn't weight you down or needs to be physically stored anywhere
For use of the console you'll need UE5toolkit how to change rep I don't know
I've just been not repairing armor and finding new ones
guys, which technician can install the sprintingupgraade in exos?
Yeah I have it install but I can't see anything related to reputation
when i farm money i go naked
The more North you go the better the traders/technicians.
I don't know man, haven't touched the UE5toolkit myself
skifs gun, 5 medkits, 5 bandages, 100 rounds and 2 antirads
I did that for a while but I've found a couple sets that hasn't had anything better than it for the mid game, at least from what I've seen. Having 5 artifact slots for extra weight is great, I can carry over 100k
It doesn't make sense because who the fuck is going to exchange fake Zone shitcoin for real mainland money when you leave the Zone
Release Candidate build got updated 2 hours ago
and 500 reloads
15 minutes later im overweight and going to sell
what makes you think its a zone exclusive cryptocurrency?
That's never implied to not be the case
see?
I think I have cleared majority of Ward in the Chemical factory. One of them had PKP or PKM machine gun. Is this some important NPC I have eliminated?
Like the implication is pretty obviously that it's Zone exclusive considering how koupons were paper currency used in Ukraine right after the USSR collapsed for like 3 years and not a shitcoin lmao
better question is what bank is gonna allow illegal zone immigrants to send money to each other?
zone cryptoscamming is now a thing 🗣️ 🔥
I guess a bunch of people in the Zone are running insane mining rigs
crypto doesnt have to be mined... as long as its supported by other currency
second assault at duga left me finantialy broke after i repaired my gear for over 300k
Who is supporting Zone shitcoin
Probably, but considering they are hostile doesn't really matter much. Don't think you'll reconsiliate with them in the story
enough people so its a thing
What's the going rate for shitcoin to Hryvnia
no clue... ward? .D
only my armor cost me about 180k
to repair after that mission
We had untraceable currency anyway its called cash lmao
bam margera in da zone
this dumbfuck closed the door on his friend, imma definetly kill him
it might just be currency between stalkers and when you go out of zone you need to bring shit thats worth something
Wouldn't the currency have value since people are trading physical assets like guns and stuff in the zone
spent 250k repairing diamond exosuit from 50'%
the only thing thats untraceable is not doing anything
dude what
yeah sure you go carry around 70000$ worth of Rubles through the zone and i'll be laughing my ass of from a hill while you get mauled by a boar while carrying a 10year supply of toiletpaer with you
That's dumb though because traders would still need to get supplies into the zone. Stalkers only pay them in coupons, where would they get the money to get actual things into the zone
if it was the freedom one it would be like another 100k on top
they sell shit to stalkers in coupons but when they sell artefacts out they sell it in ccash
i didnt have the diamond back at the mission i used the wanderer
cryptocurrency doesn't necessarily exist in a bubble. It's probably useable outside of the Zone.
The currency obviously has value IN the Zone, the confusing part is whether it has any value outside of it
Gonna start forex trading on coupons
running exosuit is expansive hobby
hell yea
maybe its backed by big $ inputs by the Tech companies?
Like Skif wasn't paying rent on his apartment in Koupons thats insane
i just got the diamond i used the liberty before just now
skif goes int ozone with 0... so he had no chance to get any before ariving is my guess
Skif was already smuggling shit in and out of the Zone for a while
or maybe he just wasn'T a crypto bro
i think he didnt really prepare that much he just said fuck it im gonna get that mf that hit my house
Skif really is peak generation Z video game protagonist to be honest
what year is generation z again?
thx, just got my first exo hehe
does anyone have the problem of the game being larger than your screen? i cant seem to change resolution or do fullscreen window
1997-2012
if someone blew up my house and left a glowing turd in my laudry basket i would also find that guy
the poppy field is definetly the best area in the game
Slag Heap is pretty north but Diode can't do those better upgrades 😦
ohh k ty
or like late 90s to early 2010s
agree to disagree
Garbage is like dead center of the zone, not north at all 
Dude just wants to pay rent I respect it
anyone else get this fun bug lmao?
Man I'm from 2000 and I feel more millenial than gen Z ngl
there is key for that dusty loot in pripyat but i couldnt find it any idea how to fid it?
you literally cant go more North with this map layout, yes if you go more West, you can go more North, but thats like 4 regions in the game out of 20
The term is Zillenial but it sounds bad so
Could be memory leak? Or did they fix that?
gen z definitely doesn't feel like one generation culture wise
I am already past the 2/3 of the game and still cant upgrade gear I found days ago...
looks like dead shaders to me
this door
name a place more better looking than that then
Yeah and that is the more north I was talking about. Again, garbage is dead center of the zone, always has been
i have good and bad news for you
no idea, but it's kinda funny lol
that is subjective i can give you a place that looks better for me doesnt mean its for you tho
Feels like 2 or 3.
its bugged atm?
alone at dusk the tornado anomaly from the conjoined wagons i like more
yeah I know garbage is center, but I'd hope they make some changes, Diode can fully upgrade my Vintar but cant upgrade some pre-exo helmet? doesnt make sense
Skif being in his 20s makes a lot of his behavior more understandable. Dude was already dead inside.
Nope good news is you can open it with an explosive handheld device uning some tinkering with angles and such, the bad news well you'll see
how can i found it tho?
gonna check it out then
he was in military... means he propably at some point was guarding zone
expecially after an emission
you probably have one on you right now, they are round and go boom if you throw them
also i think hes 25... lady in the wonky research place said so
are u talking about m203 grenade launcher or hand held grenade?
I think someone found out that the icon on his knife means he was in the Ukrainian marines
exactly
and btw i didnt mean poppy field looks shit i just mean theres places i like more fyi
can you angle a 203 in?
so the moist military
you can lean it but its impact grenade
Petition to rename the marines to the wetfantry
signed
just throw a damn grenade into the opening above the door
should i choose shay living area of panic road side or a life mod?
3 times under different names
lol 😄
now is probably about the time where he is loading his last savegame
i only see the mod that make AI harder is shay @@
nades bounce hella weird
yep learned what was the bad new was
i yeeted nade at wall under 45 degrees and it bounced back
Well nades aren't completely round so yeah
||My guess is that the people behind the door were not happy with the grenade hello?||
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ov9GhEV3eE So sad what Stalker 2 turned out with unreal slop
Poor optimization is a broad topic which is why we’re making sure to define the common game scenario that drives our initiative. We cover the neglected areas of graphics optimization and visual quality since we often see modern techniques only discussed in graphics conversations such as Lumen or DDGI. But we have a whole generation of technique...
Found the sonic artefact
Shay's has been struggling with hostile NPCs being blind. eventually they'll get it right but for now A-Life Extended Alive has been my go to.
you mean the ||sleeping Chimera|| ? No probably not
only hope is pathtracing and hardware raytracing
hey so i finally have stalker 2 and i got the 1.0.2 update and an optimization mod and still get craaaazy lag
how much is it a game thing and how much is it my laptop?
these are my specs+ gtx 1660 ti max q
my laptop was okay like 4 years ago but im worried from now on it wont be able to run stuff like stalker 2 or kingdom come deliverence 2
Oh good thing I don't know where that is and I'm taking a break from Stalker 2 until more of the bugs are ironed out.
so i did a little hunting
i just try mayhem, and its only 120m bubble, can we increase the range of that online bubble
Check minimum requirements on the store page
bruh i'm getting some trash artefacts despite using a bear detector
idk where my specs fall within that xD
thanks for the headsup 😄
detector doesnt matter in this game
Or check it via a website. I think there is a site where you can enter your specs and compare it to the game you wnat to paly
are you playing on mid or high settings?
low xd
Artefacts are random depending on the anomaly iirc
well i'm getting trash artefacts nevertheless
i never got any good artifact tbh
yeah the bubble can be much larger. the problem is managing the aggro distance of spawns in the bubble. it really sucks if you're spawning things in at 200m and they're aggroing you.
i only ever get liquid rock or flaws and springs
excepting maybe thunderberry
weird
Same apparently one of the best artefacts is found in those toxic anomaly areas when in the one closeby ||noontide base|| and got a weak rad resist iirc
u tried panic road a-life before?
nope, just Extended and Shay's
well im off to start new game after the mutant loot fiasco
panic road
chinese roadside picnic novel
i need to find a key for this stash but couldnt find it any idea if any of you guys already looted this? this is in pripyat
here it said i can run it fine (nvm storage that's how much i have left not in total)
dont meet recommended for sure tho
my rating was 75% 4 years ago now it's 34%
the tech is moving way too fast for my budget
sorry for that one you needed to tame that other mutant and ride it up the outside wall
do you have fsr on?
tf?
kidding no clue
whre you got these stats from,
dongt have it open now so i dk
should it be on?
off, it caused stutters for me
Слишком сложная установка, установщик блокирует установку через интернет и всё это танцы с бубном
max-q is a laptop no?
yes
i'm playing on a rx 580 tho
i got 78% with i5-k96 , 3070ti, 16 gb ram
it's prob you gpu that bumped u
I want this actually avalable..
Generators not available?
I'm running this game on a 2070 Super and a AMD Ryzen 7 58000X3D no problem on most settings on Epic with DLSS DSAA on 1080p with good frames unless the memory leak strikes and i have 4 frames a minute.
ok so just to be sure
what's the best "anti stutter" mod out there?
none of me... at least for me
the ar he gives is supposed to be this broke??
||No. Only laboratory under them, and only in the end||
Yes
Yep
one worked before 1.0.1 patch
bro you aint like us common folk
well i was using low setting with 3070ti i7-10700k 16gb ddr4 ram i thought low setting for me is normal right?
by that i mean students with no money
I wish I could join. ||Was honestly hoping that in the SIRCAA mission when helping Noontide you'd become a Monolithian but oh well and yes, I know that would make no sense from a lore viewpoint||
dunnu why i feel bad for trading the icon then killing him despite knowing he sends people to die to loot them afterwards
gaming in 1080p has its upsides at times
in a country with high inflation and a dictator

Should never feel bad for offing someone in the zone, you can trust no one and with enough psi-damage not even yourself.
thanks for your service
i play in 1080p that's my default reso on my laptop
it's your other shit thats more impressive
Waiting for Anomaly for St2, wanna play as Monolith unit.. aaah..
specially sederovich
SOFMOD better
Smae. Come one Grok get to making GAMMA 2 arleady Stalker 2 has been out for 12 days. ||Just kidding take your time||
Okay
no clue the gpu certainly isn't anymore The CPU is pretty impressive performance wise for a AM3 Socket CPU
wym anymore
if it was hot a year ago it's probably good for 2 more years AT LEAST
my loothungry ass ain't recovering from this bad habit 
Also a true heart of The Zone, ||which you cant visit unfortunately, not done. Full empty inside and outside.||
let me check
i guess he has come to taste his own medicine, in a poetic way
July 9, 2019
DLC area 100%. Monolith start poggers
there ya go
LONG LIVE MONOLITH
which one do you guys suggest me to use to get the better experience than the original alife in the game
Why does this server not have roles for the various factions?
tbh i had some missions bug out for me when i used "A life" mods but i used vanilla
you are still using ??
glitching lizard anomaly
no
Also an ||iron forest|| just ||emptyness||
oh in case that was lost in translation i was talking about my rig not yours
is BS and Radar on the Stalker 2 map? Or is Duga considered BS?
Also where are most X labs?
ik xD
this is random and im asking everyone
how old do i look when i use "xD"
rn im playing with a i7 9700k and 2080ti and it runs semi smooth on 1440p better than i expected tbh
my friends do i still need groks modular health and the optimization mods or are the new updates fixin all that?
is that a new brand of smoke? (no sound)
The trick is to make a friend from hong kong and get cheap GPUs from there
those are cigs from the app store
You never needed them. (except optimisation maybe)
the intern had one job
Well THERE'S a bug! Paying off Hamster's Merc so he'll rejoin the others causes them to walk back to the big house and they just fuckin DIE at the door. Drop dead. Just...aneurism level death.
and then get caught by customs and spend in jail for a time too cool of ontop of paying a hefty fine and the taxation
btw. look at the wall behind the dude, why is the texture flickering a bit?
Afaik nearly everything after the ||SIRCAA|| mission is highly bugged.
Are there any good mod lists?
It's not illegal to buy things from another country, you just need to pay customs and perhaps some extra tax.
Game is out only 12 days, no there's no good mod lists yet
and at that point you might as well buy them here.
I knew there would be some bugs but I didn't expect that lol. Honestly I thought most of the game breaking stuff was fixed already with 1.02
Oh yeah 100%
I meant of the released mods so far. For fixes, balance, performance and all that
i feel like dancing
Actually now it might not be allowed bc all the AI restrictions and stuff
A few individual mods yes, honestly just make your own list. Go browse Nexus, there's only like 150 mods total.
||Defence of Zalyssia|| is heavily bugged still I head. Don't even know if they fixed the lab door near Noontide base yet.
- 50% weight reduction for ammo, meds and food https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/45
- half stamina cost https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/512?tab=description
- killing mutants usefull https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/389
these are the ones im using
All ammo, grenades, meds and food/drinks now weigh 0, 10% or 50% of vanilla
Compatible with the latest patch 1.0.2. Makes changes to vaulting mechanics to improve vaulting so you can vault over things like fences, shipping containers and more. This is combined with my mod tha
the bunker door worked for me after update 1.0.1
Literally the worst anomaly in the game on god
wtf, why did this msg become so big
Ooh nice. Still gonna wait for more patches however.
yea my finger cramp everytime i have get into on of those and im getting blind
bout the coupon talk its reffered to as unofficial electronic currency by the border guard
It'd be cool if they added an option to reverse the flashbang effect (make your screen turn black instead of white)
When are games going to add reverse flashbangs as standard? As in turning the screen black instead of literally burning your retinas.
what might be weighing me down this much?
Get thermal resist arts. At least then you won't burn through as many medkits. I mean it's still terrible but....actually, no, it's just terrible.
I think if you wrap stuff with <> it doesn't embed
is best armor in the game diamond exoskeleton?
boolets
thats exactly how it feels
is this much boolets needed or shall i go lesser?
more mooore

so crypto and it just works. Kinda like bitcoin just works because people believe it does. Or Ork Tech in 40k
thats why i want to disable actor shadow
The power of the sun in the palm of your hand
Didn't a Battlefield game have this? Or was it COD? I fully support a very short strong white flash, then followed by prolonged darkness.
Much like a brief preview of a car-crash
You're also carrying 3 guns and 2 pistols. BTW Skiff's pistol is the only pistol
i understood that reference
BF2042 has this option.
Only good thing that game had then lol
With a name and pfp like Hulk I'd certainly hope so
im running in an exo but i will never take any other pistol than skifs
The only bright flash I'd be fine with if it's at the center of where the flash comes from, but please don't have it whiten my entire screen
is this a van helsing reference
that anomaly is brighter than my future
Yeah it should be a very brief bright spot then cut to dark
Hrm. Wondering if I should create a hard save just before I talk to Hamster and start a new game, do new things this time. Or maybe it's time to go back to GAMMA for a bit.
Negative
there was another AR with a front grip and a red dot sight too right? was it not the poppy field one??
This game has flashbangs in the appearance of the popper anomalies that flashbang right infront of you repeatedly
huh. Could've sworn it was that crazy scientist dude talking about the solar bomb.
yeah that's the context. Someone sent a video of them just now and we were talking about it.
I'll be taking a breaksky from Stalker 2 until more patches come in (and someone mods in the cheeky breeky line)
It be Doc Oc, talking about the solar energy thing he creates. So you aren't far off, just wrong cinema.
ill wait for your return stalker
anyone knows??
yea the named one
I'm pretty sure Oppenheimer said something similar to the ladies
Unknown Stalkers AR416
I paused my playthrough until they fix the "weapons glitching into your inventory" thing.
I might even just restart my game, since I'm not too far in anyways.
Oh I'll still be in this chat perusing. Converting the unfaithful to find the happiness of the Monolith
where's the red dot on this tho??
There is another one call the SOFMOD
im not talking about the poppy field one
I think I probably just passed the midwa point not sure. But I'll also be doing a new playtrough and do it a little differently.
oh alright then
Hi guys, i have a problem, and did't found any help anywhere, no reddit not stalker website, nowhere... when i move with my mouse, some sort of grid appears on the screen and goes away second later.. does anybody know what might be the problem?
AR Monolith from one of those editions of the game?
How it looks in EFT when ya get flashed, Very very short white, then this for a good 15-20 seconds and ofc gradual fade back to normal
no the sofmod
Yeah that'd be swell
funfact a flashbang doesn't do any of that
I never left the Lesser Zone. 
its a named 416 with silencer mag and reddot
This shit is haunting
That's simulating your eyeballs being busted..
How would you like the effect to work then?
I think if you were to model how a flashbang actually works it'd be largely useless in games ngl
im gonna get to a stash if you want and show you the ar i mean
yeah that doesn't happen
This is a flashbang.

flashbangs are more to disorient you not blind you
its a glorified firecracker
exactly
And again I ask, how would you simulate Disorientation then? It's a video game. Your eyes are fine IRL, you're not disoriented.
How would you do that? random input to player controls?
Honest question?
Simulating how a flashbang actually works in video games would render them completely pointless. I don't mind how they work in games even if they aren't accurate ngl
not by making your screen just white for beginners
the bloodsucker roar effect maybe idk
like the drunk effect for example
Perhaps the suppression effect from HLL? Or any other game that adds a suppression mechanic.
what do yall do with pda's? sell them?
everything better than a white screen
I prefer having a bit of dark than a blinding screen of white
Yeah, the've no use for anything else
idk may be preference but thats the worst out of all of them
I kinda hate that RNG messing with players input weirdness, but that could work
some games have stun grenades that make your turn/aiming rate slower, blurs your vision and gives you tinnitus. I think that's a good idea.
Again BF2042 has this in its stun grenade, which is not the flashbang. The flashbang works as it does in other games (but with the inverted visual effect option that I mentioned before)
hope well get a backpack mod soon
In the Police Academy, S.W.A.T. was doing a demo of a flash bang. Its extreemly loud and bright. as you can see the sound makes a police car alarm go off. The car was about 100 feet away. I saw a purple light in my eye for about 30 minutes.
simulating disorientation: make your turn/aiming rate and movement speed slower, and blur the image. done.
Maybe apply some RNG to their gunfire as well.
this way bro can't just run and can't just return fire as if nothing happened
do you guys know password for pripyat 8 digit code?
not even in a dark room its gonna "flash you" haha
Check out that video and the comments, I think if the flashbang is happening at night, having a bit of temporary blindness fits well (if you were staring straight at it)
It'd fuck up natural night-sight atleast
My natural night vision is already shit, I wouldn't want to make it worse 
Eat more carrots, it actually helps
i cannot see im legally blind
anyone using a life mods? are they good=?
chances are that if you get 2 of these flashlights that come with a strobe function and tape them together pointing opposite directions and throw them in a room would be more disoriantated than from a flashbang
I eat plenty carrots, I believe it's more a lack of acclimation. I don't go out at night. I almost never use my eyes in the dark.
only if you are vitamin a deficient
if youre healthy its not gonna do shit
I do, but then I burn them staring at my phone in bed lol
check bandage weight
I tend to run with 25 only
and ofc your ammo for 5.45
im burning my braincells in bed with that endless scrolling and then not sleeping xD
bread weights much more than it appears
canned food too
Yeah, it's lead fortified
Pretty much all food is weighty, water on the otherhand
I wouldn't mind the food and drinks being so heavy, if I could eat or drink more than 10% of it.
One sip then he's tossing the beer!
