[storm crown]

I will try that, I am playing on veteran and the games armor systems seem to make little to no difference

[serene girder]

This is the third time I've started a new game. Literally

[peak eagle]

Me getting nearly oneshotted by a poltergeist in diamond exo moment

[fossil perch]

don't you get bored walking for hours and hours?

[serene girder]

Nope.

[storm crown]

yeah they just ran upstairs and melted me

[spare forge]

Any one else have this glitch going on where they have a pet rat? Lil buddy won’t stop following me lol
wish I could put him away somewhere safe and come back later I don’t want him to die at Duga ):

[fossil perch]

mhh i play the games running, and the fact that i'm slow makes feel me so bad

[storm crown]

I managed to shotgun 3 insta spawns before 6 more ran upstairs

[peak eagle]

Might as well put lower difficulty for that part then

[storm crown]

zero cover but whats the use anyways when they programmed the npc's to spawn right next to you 🤣

[peak eagle]

They really do spawn alot for that segment

[peak eagle]

I had a similiar glitch, instead it was a man eating horde of rats following me across the map

[storm crown]

I'll post a clip to show how intense it is😆

[fossil perch]

which weapon do you use to fight mutants? shotguns take ages to reload

[clever sigil]

there is this one building in prypiat thats split in two segments and it spawns monolith constantly when you move between them. so many bodies

[devout flame]

anyone else have issues entering the sultansk? Door stays shut for me.

[serene girder]

The Moment you get a Saiga you're golden. The 870 with the Magazine works wonders too.

[peak eagle]

Should be fine, maybe combat happening nearby

[clever sigil]

this

[storm crown]

I always use shotguns for fast mutants that get close, otherwise i use AK

[fossil perch]

i've yet to find one

[spare forge]

Dw Nathan wouldn’t hurt anyone. No one at chemical plant is shooting him either so he’s gotta be chill asf

OH GOD THEY SHOT HIM

[peak eagle]

Red Forest trader sells one, including Ram-2

[fossil perch]

lmao

[serene girder]

In a story stash there's an 870 with an external magazine upgrade.

[devout flame]

i just got off last night after trying to enter for like 10 minutes

[fossil perch]

i've it but i did the upgrade with the other caliber and ruined it

[serene girder]

Yeah, don't do the Rifled Barrel Upgrade. Not worth it 99% of the time.

[peak eagle]

I want a unique boomstick man, I want ultra damage and higher penetration

[clever sigil]

something like this would be funny as unique weapon

[storm crown]

this is the mayhem I'm dealing with. spoilers for newbies

[fossil perch]

i'm going like everywhere but cant find the good attachments like the 50 mags for the AR

[clever sigil]

Cordon

[fossil perch]

are you for real?

[storm crown]

i dont even think my nades went off in the video

[peak eagle]

Lol they really spawned ontop of you

[clever sigil]

yes you can actualy get two there

[storm crown]

yeah like this shit is cyberpunk all over again 🤣

[stable quarry]

you're using mods that make the game harder during what is arguably one of the hardest segments of the game

[storm crown]

yeah I think this is my main problem i suspected. will dig through mod folder

[snow hill]

y'know what? I woke up at 4 am to play some stalker 2 but I'm gonna be a responsible adult and go get some more sleep instead. Zone can wait, the bugs and crashes aint going anywhere

[clever sigil]

do you have different font?

[peak eagle]

Probably when you wake up its gonna need another update anyway

[tall pecan]

should i tell the lady ||at sircaa experiemnt is in danger?||

[stable quarry]

realistically just temporarily ditch the mod that makes your health packs have a super slow delay

[clever sigil]

yes, always

[storm crown]

yeah its a mod

[serene girder]

If you want to side with Ward, Yes.

[tall pecan]

what is the implications of it

[snow hill]

you choose which side you wanna help

[clever sigil]

the send a squad and you to deal with them but you can side with the noontide anyway

you are in danger. I am the danger. kind of powerplay

[warped monolith]

if it works, it works

[tall pecan]

Noontide? Damn, i like them. I dont like monolith ho

[clever sigil]

can i get comic sans?

[peak eagle]

I wonder how I'm gonna complete this

[devout flame]

no combat, door sealed shut

[storm crown]

i didn't make the mod, I'm sure you could get papyrus if you wanted to

[fossil perch]

3x20 mags of vector took 10% durability WTF

[knotty spruce]

I want to take my time exploring the building but the game keeps respawning the brainy boys 😭

[warped monolith]

does it have to be all at the same time?

[livid frost]

real

[peak eagle]

Think so, cause I've had all these effects on separate occasions

I suspect that location south of Cement Factory is a prime candidate, it has a psi-field in it and I believe glass shards anomalies

Just need to be sleepy and hungry, I can also use a different suit and stuff myself with radioactive artifacts

[alpine swan]

hi folks, if I stealth kill some members of a faction I'm friendly with -- will it degrade my reputation to the faction?

[fossil perch]

isn't only the cat the one who gives the sleepy effect?

[peak eagle]

Nah, when time passes and you don't chug energy drinks it'll make you sleepy

[fossil perch]

wtf i don't use those and in 30h i never had to sleep wtf

[peak eagle]

The new patches should make you sleepy faster now

[fossil perch]

i just slept twice for the quests

[clever sigil]

yes, but not that much. how did the richter thing go?

[tough hinge]

anyone figure out a way to aim the stupid grenade launcher?

[serene girder]

Hi Nimble.

[alpine swan]

he was on a boat house.

[warped monolith]

[bitter cave]

Just finished the game, to be honest whole ending section feels extremely rushed and im certain huge elements were cut out,

||Strelok ending seems very unintuitive, all the time he was talking about CCon "surviving" being hoax and smoke n mirrors but in the end he willingly joined it to control the zone. Also, in general what is the monolith in this game? Piece of rock artifact from Skif? What happened to it after SIRCA got destroyed? Is it the same as artifact Strelok placed in X7 machine before becoming CCon member?||

[storm crown]

never finished the game yet but considering G.A.M.M.A or anomaly added cutt quest/levels in the progression id imagine we can expect that later

[alpine swan]

are you going to replay it?

[storm crown]

also got DLC to look forward to

[hollow mirage]

||thank you i agree with u i finished the game like 2 hours ago and i dont know what to say also strelok ending... it seems really rushed i mean at last i tought there would be like good ending but when i looked online there is no real good ending to me||

[clever sigil]

ah, well good that you were able to find him in the end

[alpine swan]

it was an act of desperation actually 🙂 I have searched in the internet and nobody says a word when colar is in the detention center

[serene girder]

Ward IMO is the most "What would Skif actually do" ending

[wise zinc]

wife

[peak eagle]

Just let the zone be free

[serene girder]

Yeah, she's not bad looking.

[alpine swan]

now I have some another weird issue. I have a side quest from scientist in the Malachite. It is this random mission like bring this or take down these guys or find artifact. I have finished it and it says return for reward. But when I talk with NPC there is no mention of the quest I have finished for him

[cedar pond]

Do you need a psy helmet to wander Yantar ?

[warped monolith]

[fossil perch]

nope

[alpine swan]

here is the quest

[south vigil]

hey guys did patch 1.03 arrive on xbox? my stalker crash upon launch

[cedar pond]

Oh and btw anyone knows how to get a quest from a guy in a red forest where forester was originally? I see a marker but its a trader and no other dialogue options

[cedar pond]

Played last night on Xbox was fine ….

[alpine swan]

it doesn't work for me either

[south vigil]

yea me too. but i mean now..

[cedar pond]

https://tenor.com/view/ghostrunners-brad-brad-ellis-ghostrunners-podcast-ghostrunners-no-gif-13115740979618394884

[south vigil]

here is my modlist, anything i should remove?

[alpine swan]

in other words quest is done, but NPC (quest giver) doesn't have a dialog option to finish it.

[peak eagle]

Probably everything with new patches

[south vigil]

damn, here we go again

[cedar pond]

Is there a debug or command you can try ?

[south vigil]

got into the game, guys remove any adding mod such as mutant loot or command console

[thick oasis]

the story was shaky at best and then it just falls apart ||after SIRCAA||

[alpine swan]

how it is? I have finished main quest goal. But when I return back to Needle he has no dialog option to get reward. Also I can't get more repeating quests from him. So it is 100% bugged out

[hollow mirage]

gg

[cedar pond]

Yeah unfortunately, didn’t have a problem like that I killed the fucker xdddd

[final topaz]

Anyone here crashing mid 50H save after an emission? I literally can't play rn

[peak eagle]

#╓☢stalker2™-chat-not-gamma-keep-waiting message Try this and see if it helps

[warped monolith]

weird bolt?

[final topaz]

I googled what werid bolt is and I haven't been to yanov yet where you're supposedly able to pick it up so:
No, I dont have it in my inventory

[warped monolith]

[final topaz]

there's my inventory and my current tasks. Is maybe someone dying after the emisison in my tasks?
Stalker 2 crash reporter says:
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000

Edit: yes after these 2 screenshots the emission quickly finished and the game crashed shortly after the notification that the emission is now done

[serene girder]

Do you have the Weird Bolt?

[fossil perch]

a psydog followed me from redforest to malachite! and killed the whole camp (outside) that's absurd

[warped monolith]

he doesn't

[final topaz]

not in my inventory, and haven't been in yanov yet

[serene girder]

Weird Bolt isn't Yanov. It's the Fire Tornado.

[peak eagle]

thats the nut

[serene girder]

It's the Bolt that causes the Crash, not the Nut, right?

[peak eagle]

Weird nut in fire tornado, Weird bolt in regular tornado

[final topaz]

what ever it is, I do not have it in my inventory 😄

[worldly tide]

did you find the armored suit on top of the pipe parkour right next to the scientist base in malachite?

don't mean to detract from your question

[peak eagle]

That spot is a bit BS lol, died like 3 times on the parkour

[worldly tide]

f5ed everytime I made a jump, climbed from 45 to 55 deaths lol

[final topaz]

no i bought it from a egg head trader-> in malachite

[worldly tide]

oh I'm aware of that one you have equipped, there was a stash right near the base the eggheads are at, was just curious

I hadn't got to red forest yet

[pliant sigil]

Do you guys prefer keeping the Rhino in 9x39 or converting it to shotgun?

[heady mulch]

so you can disable/enable foregrips and lasers thru the technicians... is it purely cosmetic or does it remove the stat boost as well

[final topaz]

me neither and if my crashing emisison doesnt get fixed, loooks like it'll stay that way lmao

[worldly tide]

what an annoying bug, hopefully it gets fixed, they rolled out the three patches pretty quick

[heady mulch]

make a fat save before you do theres some kinda psy field bug or controller bug that makes you schizophrenic permanently

[worldly tide]

I imagine it would be stat based too

[worldly tide]

Haven't used it yet, I would probably keep it 9x39, seems inconvienent to use two of the same ammo types on 2/3 of my guns

assuming you carry a shotgun that is

[heady mulch]

dang the foregrip for ar416 is the only recoil reduction upgrade and i much prefer how skif holds the handguard

[worldly tide]

did you find the special one in zaton? in the ward base

[heady mulch]

no? the only one that i found near that area was the SOFMOD

[peak eagle]

the Sofmod is in the railway area

[visual ferry]

SOFMOD is such a sexy rifle lol

[worldly tide]

there is a sniper modded one, and the sofmod

[visual ferry]

Sniper modded one? Is it the one with the Vortex looking optic?

[worldly tide]

obtained through a side mission in zaton, can't miss it

[heady mulch]

im using neither just stock with suppressor and open collimator (using a mod to attach OC)

[peak eagle]

Clusterfuck, during the Three Captains sidequest

[heady mulch]

yeah that mission was bugged for me

[bitter cave]

Yes, most likely. But not immediately

[heady mulch]

i dont wanna help that bitch tho. i dont care if "the zone is changing" sultan and beard are the homies

[worldly tide]

won't lie, I killed them both

but I understand the lore behind them

[peak eagle]

Insert making out picture moment with those 2

[heady mulch]

if i do that quest ill have no traders in zaton except icarus base

sonya fucks off too bc bugged

[tall pecan]

I would have kept her alive if she didn't say after Zaton i will aim for other areas, like bitch shut up

[warped monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/parkour-the-office-andy-bernard-gif-11765843

[main lagoon]

That is one issue with stalker 2, far too few traders

[worldly tide]

my favorite part, they seem to have them in many places

[visual ferry]

Do I have to go to have Icarus unlocked through the main quest to start the side quest? I’ve already done a side quest for both the sultan and beard. Not going to lie, I have mainly been exploring LOL. Found myself the Exo near Yanov yesterday.

[main lagoon]

You're expected to travel multiple KM, killing and looting along the way, only to spend most of the time overloaded and crawling back to base

[tranquil abyss]

No heterosexual explanation for Sultan and Beard's dynamic.

[tall pecan]

No, you need to talk to the bitch

[visual ferry]

The one that tells you to talk to sultan?

[peak eagle]

After you do the quest for Sultan's briefcase, the bartender should ask you again for the quest to kill Beard and Sultan

[heady mulch]

it honestly feels smaller than all the OG maps put together like in CoC but thats only because theyre gonna have to wait until dlc to release the rest of the zone, (limansk generators dead city iron forest)

[tall pecan]

Yeap

[worldly tide]

or be very stiff with what you pick up as skif

[visual ferry]

Ahhhh gotcha

[heady mulch]

also guides

[worldly tide]

turn on that stalker radio and get to hooving it

[hexed warren]

why cant i loot? is it quest related

[visual ferry]

Thanks guys! @tall pecan @peak eagle

[tall pecan]

Agree, ogs map felt bigger by using our imagination to fill areas between

[peak eagle]

Thats a first, unavailable to loot

[heady mulch]

nah like jupiter from CoP is prob the size of S2 red forest yanov and jupiter combined

[simple berry]

help I have invincible ward guys at malachite

[heady mulch]

tbf jupiter in CoP was huge

[tall pecan]

I don't remember it being that huge tbh

[peak eagle]

Jupiter was larger in CoP yeah

[main lagoon]

Yes, usually when you see a body like that it's related to a quest

[peak eagle]

It had the Quarry, Cement Factory, Helicopter Pad, Storage Unit warehouses and the spot where the Heart of the Oasis spawned

Jupiter in S2 is a husk

[alpine swan]

is there heart of the oasis in s2?

[peak eagle]

Nah it's outta bounds for the location, it's in the game tho

[alpine swan]

do you guys know if there is any max electric resistance artifact in s2? I have "glare" at the moment which yields "strong" protection. But maybe there is some legendary?

[peak eagle]

No legendary artifacts for electro resistance no

[high forge]

bring back some loot next time

[abstract furnace]

no

[peak eagle]

Oh when I said it, the heart of the oasis artifact ain't ingame, just the location

[abstract furnace]

THE TESSARACT

[manic kindle]

boys the best detector is from main quest or side quests

[high forge]

main

[manic kindle]

just got my second hypercube

[peak eagle]

You'll get the Veles in the main story, but any other can be easier to obtain with sidequests

[heady mulch]

Yea too few traders and quest givers

[manic kindle]

but i didnt get any good rad protection yet

[shadow sphinx]

177.7 hours in the game and haven't beaten it yet. started a new save @ 30 hours because Grok's rebalance/item misery mod. Now I'm at pripyat with every gun I want maxed out, maxed out diamon exo suit, a million koopins, and it just feels empty bros. Are there any mods that actually reduce GSC consumable spam so I can start over a third time?

[peak eagle]

All the hypercubes and liquid rocks in the world for me, 1 thunderberry tho

[heady mulch]

disappointed voronin doesn’t have anything for me to do

[spice temple]

What is this faction "Flame"? Is it in game?

[abstract furnace]

that means 'fire'

:3

[livid vine]

Weird

[spice temple]

I am not deep into the game. Is there any faction named "Flame" or "Fire"?

[livid vine]

Not at all

[peak eagle]

Nope

[manic kindle]

everytime i get mold

[high forge]

where did you get this from?

[spice temple]

Data mining

[livid vine]

Probably cut content/faction

[livid vine]

Or future stuff for dlc maybe

[spice temple]

So what faction from here are not in the game?

[high forge]

just the one you mentioned

[floral venture]

ahhhhhhhhh i wish they would fix the progressive reload. when you get 90% of the way through the animation but interupt it before it goes back to resting position so it gets un-done

[peak eagle]

Seems to be just Flame, so future faction then

[spice temple]

Isn't Monolith nott existant, or spoilers?

[livid vine]

Monolith exists

[peak eagle]

spoilers for later if you haven't seen the events yet

[trim vapor]

Jesus dude

[livid vine]

What's that "Corps" faction? Not sure I heard about it

[manic kindle]

fucking molds and flytraps

[peak eagle]

Degytarovs faction for Yaniv to Pripyat

[icy aspen]

I have searched all of the traders in the zone except for Pripyat, I havent gotten there yet. I am unable to find a sorce for 7.62x39 ammo

[silver cloak]

Guys, remember the trailer where Strelok wasn't bald? Good times

[peak eagle]

The time it took from the trailer to release the game gave him back his widows peak

[spare forge]

Any tips for finding the “Petal” artifact? Ik it’s in thermal anomalies but are there any particular ones that yield higher tier artifacts than others?

[peak eagle]

It's RNG on what you want

I found 4 hypercubes to 1 petal lol

There is one guaranteed Petal you can try tho

[pliant sigil]

Today I learned the Rhino will two-shot headshot a burer.

This is good information to know.

[spare forge]

Wait fr? How do I find this one? I’m tryna wrap up this mission with barkeep

[floral venture]

hmmmm, is there any reason to get the 4th out of 5 arti slots lead lined? either way you are going to want the last slot to be the maximum anti rad + maximum chem, so it effectively does nothing other than a slight increase in repair cost (if upgrades increase repair cost like i think?) or do people sometimes just run hot artis?

[peak eagle]

Go here at night, there's a scanner on the roof and it'll spawn a bloodsucker enemy alongside the Petal

same device as what you got from Hermann at the start of the game

[spare forge]

Man thank you a lot! I appreciate the hell out of it

[abstract furnace]

DAY AND NIGHT :3 THE LONELY BONER TRIES TO FREE HIS SLIME AT NIGHT :3

[fossil perch]

i had to roll back a save (1h lost) because the psy status of the pseudo dog bugged out and kept me under his influnce even if he's dead...

[stoic lichen]

Can you cook grenades in this game?

[warped monolith]

Kane died for this

[spare forge]

No, just like in real life you can’t cook grenades

[abstract furnace]

yes you can

[high forge]

why would you eat a grenade

[spare forge]

I don’t think you can

[abstract furnace]

you can it's just a bad idea

[alpine swan]

there is no Limansk in s2 as far as I can see. Probably in DLC some day

[spare forge]

I’ve literally tried just now and held a grenade for 10 seconds in game, but you also can’t do that irl and a slither of looking it up would tell you that.

[abstract furnace]

[manic kindle]

there is a guy that speaks in radio saying that he is stuck in the junkyard but i'm here and none is here

[stoic lichen]

I don’t know, It’s kinda annoying throwing a well place grenade only for the enemy to move away.

[peak eagle]

In Garbage? He's by the electric field anomaly

[manic kindle]

another guy he radio asking for help a doctor something

[peak eagle]

What location?

[manic kindle]

garbage too

[raven current]

Can someone maybe tell me why the longer sprinting mod and jump mod are not working? There were 3 files in the modpack. Does that mean i have to pack them all or just the ones i want? for example 25% longer run 50% longer run etc

[peak eagle]

Ehhh I don't remember that one, must've been early in my playthrough

[manic kindle]

well at least i received the radio when i was in northern part of the garbage

he literally sayed i'm stuck in the junkyard i got here there is none

[peak eagle]

Oh wait I remember, It's in the Maze location, the one with all the vehicles

[manic kindle]

ohh

[peak eagle]

Watch out for the poltergeist in there

[manic kindle]

i'm legally blind

[raven current]

?

[slender scroll]

Found this suit on a random soldier in the warehouse in dark valley, is this normal???

[peak eagle]

Suit itself should be later, but the game does have a very low chance to drop armor

[raven current]

Your AK needs a hospital visit

[peak eagle]

Someone here got an exo drop before I believe

[slender scroll]

Damn im very lucky in that case

[slender scroll]

And yeah i know, it jammed multiple times on me while fighting the soldiers lol

[peak eagle]

For a helmetless suit, its one of the better ones

[slender scroll]

Any idea who is closest trader and mechanic close to me in dark valley?

I really need to dump some stuff

[raven current]

I think rostok

[manic kindle]

which one is the best helmetless?

[peak eagle]

Slag Heap, basically a bit NE if you're at the dark valley portion of the map

[raven current]

I uploaded one of this file to my ~mods map but it is not working. Anyone any idea?

[late kernel]

Yeah you can now find armor on NPCs its crazy

[peak eagle]

Some other suits are the Guardian of Freedom and the Hawk (spark) suit in Zaton

[late kernel]

It still sucks that the inventory info of the NPC and Players is still missing. And that their outfit is based on player rank instead of NPC rank lmao

[manic kindle]

i actually thought we couldnt was it on an already dead body maybe?

[slender scroll]

Thnx!

[manic kindle]

how do we get the spark one? i'm doing spark quests but didn't get it yet

[peak eagle]

Nah you find them, they won't hand you any suits

Zaton railway station there's one behind a locked coded gate, and Seva-I is another in Yantar facility

[simple berry]

this games stealth is the worst in all of gaming

[late kernel]

and the stealth mods make it even worse

[simple berry]

how

[peak eagle]

They literally become retarded

[late kernel]

makes them blind

[manic kindle]

oh i know this place is the one that have a chimera in the front i remember it

[simple berry]

oh

[stable quarry]

you just haven't figured it out.

[peak eagle]

Nah not that one, that has a Vintar tho inside

[stable quarry]

it's actually very functional

[manic kindle]

yeah idk where it is then haha

[stable quarry]

hell i went through a base with a silenced apsb and never got seen once

[simple berry]

standing still behind a pillar undetected crouched and i still get locked on

[warped monolith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMwmBln8rY4 Friendly reminder that if you're not using this mod, you're playing it wrong

[stable quarry]

you probably made too much noise, the game also has a noise detector and there are literally cans and shit everywhere on the ground in stealth areas that you need to avoid

[simple berry]

again i am standing still

[peak eagle]

This one

[simple berry]

this game has so much potential with bolyts being there but nooo cant utilie those

[peak eagle]

You can also find a unique AR416 there as well

[manic kindle]

aight i'll go there

[stable quarry]

yoooooooooooooooooo

[simple berry]

mfw just running made the enemy less aware than me standing still

[pliant sigil]

If you change the Rhino to 12 gauge, can it use slugs or only buckshot?

[peak eagle]

You gotta piece together a 4-digit code I know over there

[stable quarry]

i got selected for a playtest of Bladesong

mayhaps

[hexed warren]

is it just me or are the physics and the ragdolls more janky

[raven current]

Is there any help chat regarding mods for stalker 2?

My mod is not working and i need help

[pliant sigil]

Y'know, since the Rhino is absurdly 9x39, I had this stupid idea for a suppressed nagant-style revolver in 9x39. The ultimate assassin's tool. (not really)

[late kernel]

Just like how the Deagle in older stalker games was chambered in .45
They are really sticking to their roots lol

[undone vessel]

https://youtu.be/sDbShShAgZc

[hexed warren]

How tf do u defeat the electric anomaly

It just follows you and damages

[peak eagle]

take off your artifacts

[simple berry]

uhh

[hexed warren]

It doesn't work it just respawns follows me then suicides and takes half my health

[simple berry]

mhmmm interseting
sooo at the start of the game i sided with the ninth, later in the game now i encounter him praying and i can talk to him? lol?? i can ask him abotu the zone he doesnt aggro unless i take the quest item nearby

[hexed warren]

I tried shooting letting it pass throwing bolts nothing works

[heavy hedge]

The flashbang ones that just spawn right next to you?
Basically they'll always spawn the direction you're walking in, you can start getting a feel for the timing of them and anticipate, run the opposite direction as soon as it spawns and repeat when the next one pops in

tl;dr zig-zag and get out of the area as quickly as possible

[hexed warren]

Im searching for a goddamn stash

[peak eagle]

electro ball that follows you = remove artifacts
flashbang anomaly = zig zag

[hexed warren]

I removed the artifact it still follows me

Do i have to remove from inventory too?

[peak eagle]

the flashbang ones that spawns infront of you right? Not the ball of lightning

[hexed warren]

no, the ball of lightning

[peak eagle]

Strange, that one should leave you alone when you take off all the artifacts from the belt

[copper halo]

have anyone reached bridge to Lymansk yet

[simple berry]

i feel like this is bugged? does he really not have anything more to say?

[mossy jasper]

Covers mean nothing in this game this is stalker gamma levels of wave defence and insta kills

[peak eagle]

Yes, it's raised and the radio nearby only gives the screams of its victims

[copper halo]

have you found the key to the tunnel next to the bridge

[simple berry]

yea you peak out once after the enemies stop shooting and are sprayed down isntantly

[peak eagle]

Believe that one is main story locked

[simple berry]

also cover can get penetrated so even that works half the time only

[copper halo]

i just got to the bridge bout to visit forester's place for more clues/lore

[peak eagle]

Forester gone man, idk where he went

[copper halo]

bro why you spoil me like that

[grave escarp]

Damn, bro.

[peak eagle]

You would've been disappointed 3 minutes later

[copper halo]

I'll still go anyway exloring the WHOLE map is important for lore purpose

im so siding with SIRCCA next playthrough fuck these loners

[bronze tusk]

hahahaha feel ya bro #╟📸stalker2™-media message

[mossy jasper]

10/10

This is the worst scripted battle in the history of stalker games

The random one shots of shado of chernobyl, the enemy health bars of clear sky, the random mutant attacks of pripyat 20 years in the making it was worth the wait

[manic kindle]

where is butcher

[mossy jasper]

I miss duty

[copper halo]

future dlc is Lymansk I thought the devs will just straight up cut it off the story but no

[manic kindle]

i wanted to know what happened with the scientists from yantar

[copper halo]

I guess that he moved out like other scientists or just straight up retire

[river lintel]

I saw a little leak (haven't verified it) that amongst the things that might lis ahead. One is a mystic vendor that combines your guns with artifacts? Big if true

[limpid aurora]

waiting till april for my physical items for stalker 2 is gonna make me do unholy things

[simple berry]

so uhhhh what happens to this thing in my inventory now? quest is over?

[copper halo]

I already got it lmao

[limpid aurora]

stalker chug jug

[halcyon tusk]

For me it just disappeared at some point later

[river lintel]

I'm hopeful we get Butcher back since there's a stall in the Rostok market that could very easily be his spot.

[limpid aurora]

i hate you

[simple berry]

why couldnt I like ||give it to the doctor so he could heal strider????||

[copper halo]

oh so that what it was I thought it just fried your brains

[limpid aurora]

im jealous and i hope you get soft locked on a main mission

[river lintel]

||maybe it would keep him a monolithian?||

[copper halo]

already got locked out of zalisslya lmao bugged quest

[limpid aurora]

i had to download a ue5 cheat menu unlocker to do quests. im not playing till they fix ALL soft locks and fix a-life lmao

[halcyon tusk]

Just finished the game.
||My ending didn't really satisfy me and it seems that none of them would. Game was generally really good. Looking forward to exploring other endings when the games gets more patches and especially to the DLCs||
Can recommend

[river lintel]

I manged to get Zalissya to work a si crossed the eastern checkpoint to get there i leashed some Monolith so foreigner Bob aggroed, they died and the door unlocked

[limpid aurora]

leave bob alone man

[copper halo]

damn he just let his streams out like that

[random light]

I hate the bug where it doesnt use the damn item

also the APS is op

[simple berry]

also its stupid i cant put more scopes on the as lavina with a rail? like really only the 2x scope? why??

[copper halo]

Let's pray for the patch

[random light]

i love that gun

[river lintel]

Can it not accept the pso 4x?

[copper halo]

I want a holographic sight on as lavina so bad

[simple berry]

I dont want a powered optic, also i did say rail

[manic kindle]

another hypercube oh god

[random light]

the APS i mean, probably the best side pistol in the game

[sturdy meteor]

No clue on what this easter egg is meant to be

[copper halo]

me the UDP enjoyer

[simple berry]

rhinio

[river lintel]

The only non powered optics are 2x so, suffer?

[simple berry]

ladies and gentleman, a 2x scope

[copper halo]

could be like L4D2 strunged up Charger (special zombie)

[river lintel]

Thats a sight

[obsidian lark]

Yo, anybody know how to get around this? Been like this for days, after the last 2 major updates they dropped.

[simple berry]

[sturdy meteor]

check task manager doesn't have stalker2 in the background process and kill it if it does.
verify game via steam, try launching after.

[warped monolith]

dunno about those leaves but that log looks like the spot Paul Harrell was sitting on when making his death announcement video

[sage wolf]

sometimes you're too tired and just cant be asked

[obsidian lark]

Okay, ill give it a try

[simple berry]

@river lintel a powered optic is either a scope with no batteries or an unmagnified optic a "sight" as you would call it

[warped monolith]

arsed*

[sturdy meteor]

thought crossed my mind it could be a charlots web easteregg but who knows really

[fossil fjord]

The search for anomalies is being very tiring, it's the fourth time in a row that I can't find it because it's always bugged from under a rock or high ground

so i have to roll back a save just to change the anomaly location

[simple berry]

oh so the way to acquiring this thing is just guiding back to zallisya and finding foreigner bob dead on the ground for some reason?

[river lintel]

Sorry, you're right a holosight is still powered. But they don't magnify l, you just get ads zoom

[simple berry]

i can heal this guy infinitely

[mossy jasper]

||How the fuck do you survive the duga defence sequence and THEN run away||

[formal stirrup]

Anyone know how to reach the artifact at the swamp area where a pseudogiant spawns? I managed to leap past it onto the taller rock and while my sensor goes beeping, there's no artifacts showing up.

[mossy jasper]

Worst sequence in the game THANK GOD i broke it somehow and saved me the stroke

[pliant sigil]

Does anyone know what sight goes on the Rhino?

[gray eagle]

its a 2x scope iirc

[simple shoal]

Not a complaint but is anybody else wondered why the hell is there a sound effect for landing a headshot in Stalker 2

[simple berry]

2 scope, not worth it

[remote isle]

To indicate a headshot?

[simple berry]

modern gaming standards, unfortnuately, you can turn it off doe

[warped monolith]

NO WAY

[simple berry]

WHAT DO YOU FUCKING MEAN???????????????????????????????????????

[sonic reef]

does anyone feel like they are crashing hella more this update?

[simple berry]

WHAT YEAR ARE WE IN????? LET ME SAVE

[warped monolith]

[sonic reef]

why do u need 30 different hardsaves tho, when will u ever return to the first of the list

[simple berry]

idk idc why cant i have more than 30 whats limiting me

[sonic reef]

gsc is limiting you

[simple berry]

i always hard save after i clsoe the game

[silver cloak]

For anyone who played the game till mid-game/to the end. In the new playthrough would you side with ward/sircaa or loners/spark and why?

[sonic reef]

ward because my balls are small

[simple shoal]

Is that under gameplay or sound?

[silver cloak]

Is ward giving small balls/small dicks energy in your opinion?

[novel lagoon]

[simple berry]

i dont remember 👍

[simple shoal]

[silver cloak]

Ahahahhahaha, dude lmao you're the best

[novel lagoon]

lmao
but fr, is it in swamp or??

[silver cloak]

Not in swamp 100%

I know my swamp better than anyone else, looked through every centimeter of it

[sonic reef]

are you shrek

[soft parrot]

Is there any place to buy the veles detector or just the quest?

[novel lagoon]

@pseudo storm since u took this pic, where is it??

[sonic reef]

https://tenor.com/view/back-off-this-is-my-swamp-shrek-shreks-swamp-gif-10789086609985963859

[gray eagle]

you can only buy it after the quest

[soft parrot]

ah, thanks

[gray eagle]

next to stc malachite

[novel lagoon]

ohh neat

[pseudo storm]

I’m out of the house to show you on the map, but it’s near the Malachite base. There’s a lake relatively close.

[pseudo storm]

Yup, that’s it

[silver cloak]

Yes i am, swamp is my favorite location and my favorite group is clear sky and i always play as them.
And also i HATE the fact that there is no CS-3a in-game and also that iskra changed CS camo

CS camo was good, Spark camo gives looney-tooney vibes to me

[silver cloak]

Can i go to Malachite before the whole noontide quest chain?

[gray eagle]

yea i believe so, you can get cards from random side quests

[silver cloak]

Do you need 1 of them?

[gray eagle]

Either that or money to get in yea

[silver cloak]

Or do you collect them like pokemon cards?

[soft parrot]

I think you can get to Malachite after Lesser unlocks. You can also buy entry for like 4k, if I remember.

[raven current]

Do you guys prefer to side with scar or strelok and why?

[gray eagle]

Try going here just south of Rostok there should be a quest

[silver cloak]

They are both madman and deserve to die

[raven current]

So which one you side with?

[silver cloak]

Neither

[raven current]

which end will you prefer then? the skif one?

[silver cloak]

Yes, i love free market

[raven current]

You know what the skif end means right ?

[silver cloak]

Whole world becomes a zone, yes

[raven current]

Why is that a good thing

[silver cloak]

Better than Sircaa controlling the Zone i think, better than trapped in a dreamworld while the real world dies and better than one man controls the entire zone

[peak eagle]

Let the zone be free

[silver cloak]

If it's not skif's ending it's a choice between arasaka/becoming a zombie/giving control over everything to one fucked up balding man that killed half the zone back in the days

[raven current]

So there basically is no real good ending then lol. i preferred destroying the zone

[silver cloak]

I mean for me Strelok's name is reflecting his whole personality, he is just a shooter, a soldier, nothing more

Wdym destroying the zone, there is no such thing

[late kernel]

What would even be considered good ending for the zone? Its a bleak world

[raven current]

What does it mean if the whole world changes into the zone? anomalies all over the world?

[silver cloak]

I think Skif's symbolized Roadside picnic ending: Happiness for everyone, none should be left out

[raven current]

and emissions

[pliant sigil]

I now have two Compasses, a Hypercube, and a Thunderberry. My power grows

[silver cloak]

Yep, anomalies all over the world true, but so artefacts, but no mutants because they were created by human

[raven current]

and no radiation so that's not bad at all i think?

[silver cloak]

The first 5 years will be extremely dangerous for humanity, true, but imagine the leap in technology

And also i mean, it's like giving a nuke to all of the countries during the cold war

Sure it's a nuclear weapon, but if everybody has it, no one uses it

[raven current]

So strelok basically wants the zone all for himself alone?

[silver cloak]

The zone is the same thing for me, if it gets into the hands of Sircaa entirely we have Arasaka 2.0

[river lintel]

MAD is the main thing stopping Russia from fucking around atm

[raven current]

My bad but who is araska

[silver cloak]

Yes, he does, it's his personal responsibility/heaven 9or so he thinks)

[river lintel]

Fuck Dalin, little man baby

[nova wadi]

malachite region

[river lintel]

The megacorp that runs everything in Cyberpunk

[silver cloak]

Dalin is a chesspiece, the real danger is that old bitchy woman behind him

[late kernel]

le evil corporation from Cyberpunk

[pliant sigil]

Your artifacts are Arasaka property. I'll be taking them back.

[river lintel]

Yeah, but i still don't like him lol

[raven current]

Ah okey i haven't played that game

[late kernel]

I did when it was a broken mess

[raven current]

Yea heard a lot about this haha

[silver cloak]

Exactly, he is so naive, it's like inventing a car that's easy to make, cheap to produce and doesn't use oil. You can't possibly expect to not get killed after inventing that

[river lintel]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=xzLbTMcJgiM&feature=shared

[nova wadi]

im having an ocd moment, i kind of feel like I shouldn't help Shcherba at all

fucking moral ocd shit, fucking hate ocd

[hearty iron]

the new update destroyed my game performance

[nova wadi]

i guess i can just not pick up the manual for him

[hushed garden]

Anomaly slingshotted me to a new map

[nova wadi]

yeah i think it runs slightly worse for me now

[hearty iron]

like stuttering got way worse

[silver cloak]

Show where are you on pda please

[nova wadi]

like rostok runs even worse than it did somehow, yeah stuttering is much worse

outside the towns for the most part no stutter tho so /shrugs/

[raven current]

@silver cloak But what about that there is live in the noosphere? All those things scar believes in is fake? Is the C-con really dead?

[nova wadi]

I get new ram in 2 days so hopefully that helps, game is running up a page file trying to play with 16gb lmao

[pliant sigil]

Speaking of endings and such, the Colonel is the sole redeeming part of siding with Ward

[hushed garden]

i'M NOW BEING ATTACKED BY AI WTF

[silver cloak]

Hmmm, that's a more of a philosophical question but i'll try to answer it.
You see every sentient human being in the zone affects it, because all of them affect the noosphere by their thoughts and emotions.
Zone is dangerous because people believe it to be dangerous.
I mostly think that the only thing left of C-con is their noosphere imprint, like they are not a "being" anymore, just an echo of the past, like a memory imprint

At least that's my hypothesis

Not only mutants but even anomalies and artefacts were created by thoughts and wishes of mankind

[pliant sigil]

Like, Colonel Korshunov is a genuinely good dude that cares for his men, it's just that SIRCAA is full of royal assholes

[late kernel]

As Royal as the English voice lines

[raven current]

Hmm okey make sense. All those years of stalker and i still can not fully understand the meaning of the noosphere etc. hahah

[silver cloak]

I mean there are a lot of books and all of them suggest different things.
Some claim Zone has it's own mind and desires like a human would.
Some think it's a heartless system that's reacting to the intruders in it.
And someone think it's just the manifestation of thought and dream of men

[hushed garden]

Stalkers spawn outside of the zone lol

[silver cloak]

I mean that's why i don't like scar and strelok, they believe in their doctrine 100% and could even admit the possibility that they might be wrong

[livid frost]

if you put forgrip on a gun can you still mount GL or no?

[pliant sigil]

Yes. Foregrip just vanishes when the grenade launcher/shotgun is equipped

[silver cloak]

I mean story wise Scar was always a self-loving murdering son of a bitch.
I don't trust him with that "Better, friendlier zone bullshit"

[hushed garden]

drylands

[silver cloak]

I think he just doesn't want to live in the world shaped by his actions, because he hates himself

Escape into another reality - that's a self destroying, bullshit isekai friend

[sturdy meteor]

in a house and i hear a gunfight break out and my compass suddenly goes red.
"they can't be looking for me right?"
then i hear bullet impact sounds and windows getting shot out.
monolith patrols have aimbot!

[silver cloak]

Humanity shouldn't wish to go into heaven, they should wish to make their current place of living into heaven

[livid frost]

just got a life mod and there is about 15 freedom guys going after a pack of dogs

[narrow spear]

OH you SPOOKY son of a BITCH

[dreamy pecan]

is it normal to get 2 hypercubes from the fire pit anomaly? lol

[hushed garden]

anomaly

[silver cloak]

I got a hypercube from the first thermal anomaly in the game, with no save loading, guess im lucky

[slender scroll]

anomaly

[silver cloak]

anomaly

[slender scroll]

anomaly👍

[hushed garden]

wonder if i can reach there from outside the zone

[pliant sigil]

What would the ideal set of artifacts be? I'm thinking Compass, Hypercube, Thunderberry, Night Star, Liquid Rock. You'd need three lead containers for that though.

It covers everything except electrical resistance and lol lmao imagine needing that.

[silver cloak]

Which armor has 3 lead?

[pliant sigil]

SSP 100 Survey is the one I'm using

[silver cloak]

Something like Seva-V?

[silver cloak]

Looks like a starfield suit))

[pliant sigil]

Starfield is trash but the Starborn drip is immaculate

[silver cloak]

The ssp 100 looks too clunky imho

But hunter drip from starfield is something else, i agree

[tiny basin]

All of these super clean screenshots with no ghosting makes me sad

[livid frost]

only cool thing about that game is making your own spaceship/ big ship battles

[pliant sigil]

I'm pretty sure I spent more time in the spaceship builder than actually playing the game.

[stoic lichen]

Loading simulator the game

Imagine getting cooked by No Man Sky who got space travel right YEARS ago.

[livid frost]

real

[silver cloak]

Remember the time when No man sky lied that it's multiplayer game?

[fallow pivot]

I agree with most points about Starfield, but no mans sky is 99% procedurally generated. As impressive billions of planets is on paper, you get to see everything you need to see within the first 5 different systems you explore lol

[chrome wind]

for people who’ve played after the new patch: does it break most mods

[clever sigil]

Ever heard about space engineers?

They are going to redo the grid system so you can have much more Freedom with building in the SE2 thats being developed.

[chrome wind]

only two i really care about are S2 optimized tweaks and the 4x day night cycle one lol

[clever sigil]

Only those that add stuff like mutant parts

[fallow pivot]

afaik, any mod that touches localization got fucked.

[raven current]

[pseudo storm]

Can we talk about how Skif’s story is basically setup pretty well for him to become a Merc?

[sonic reef]

yes

[raven current]

Where can i find the best technican?

[pliant sigil]

Harpy at Yanov, probably.

[hushed garden]

I know the zone well

[pliant sigil]

Or Yaniv as they call it but I've been spelling it as Yanov for years

[warped monolith]

bro's in the clouds

[hushed garden]

I'm playing the DLC

[analog pasture]

anybody feel a slight input lag? is there a fix or a mod available for this?

[fallow pivot]

if your frame gen is on, turn it off

[livid frost]

can you put GL on gun that has foregrip upgrade?

[chrome wind]

don't think so, you can try to undo last upgrade/modification at technicians but if it's greyed out you might be out of luck

just use the groza

[manic kindle]

huh?

[stoic lichen]

That wasn’t targeted to you.

[ionic chasm]

Ok, after sinking a couple of hours into stalker 2, i have to say that while it is not a 'true' stalker experience due to plethora of items to be scavenged and plot armor throughout every second of the game, i really enjoy it. I can see the game becoming much more hardcore through various overhauls. It's an adventure type of game and a survival one.

[fathom monolith]

sorry

[stoic lichen]

It’s okay.

[ionic chasm]

BUT vintorez needs some real buffs. It's shit

[narrow spear]

Dude it bewilders me that I can't install a "use the goddamn AS VAL mags" modification at a technician....

... or just USE THE AS VAL MAGS in general

[ionic chasm]

YES

or make it much deadlier as comparez to other 9x39

Currently its better to run the revolver than vintoez which is pretty hillarious

Currently at cementr factory to be clear and revolver slaps while vintorez sucks ass

[narrow spear]

I just need an excuse to use any other pistol than Skif's PM. Like, why even have other pistols if they suck ass compared to the soviet trash cannon in my hand

[sharp pendant]

any tips for navigating the area with the tornado?

Check the sleeping area near where the tech used to be

[stable quarry]

yea it uses 45 instead of 9mm

[indigo frost]

huh

[tribal holly]

yeah, no crate, just bunkbeds, and the journalist quest is completed after I got the Vintar more north

ah yeah it's gated to deluxe. All good

[sharp pendant]

does this just instantly kill me?

[high forge]

when i first bought the normal one i also bought a shit ton of 45 acp thinking it used that

[tribal holly]

now I have to walk back across the entire swamp... delightful

My guy couldn't just knock me out and drag me or something?

[warped monolith]

nuh uh

[high forge]

yuh uh

I miss the Renegades

[snow hill]

kept them all alive during the mission

[snow hill]

get better aim then

[warped monolith]

real pro gamer

[snow hill]

i put the sniper in my bag, ate some vinca and sprinted in and using ap ammo dropped them all with a 40 round mag

[dreamy pecan]

that first chimera is a rough one, wasn't expecting that, though i did get my first rpg from it lol

never going back to swamps

[chrome wind]

if you're talking about ||ad astra per astera||, i was dreading that mission for so long and i didn't even see the chimera (maybe cuz I was running so fast lol)

[mental verge]

Hello, I'm learning how to jump with springboard anomalies. I can manage to launch myself every 10th time or so, but I can't really land without dying. I thought that maybe landing in the tornado could help, and it catches me, but then I crash into the ground. Any ideas how to land safely around that area? Hitting another springboard anomalies works, but I can't find any on the map

[dreamy pecan]

yeahhh lol, and then that emission, i ran back to the little cabin and died to the emission and had to re kill the fucker

[warped monolith]

real and true and same

[snow hill]

oh my goodness gracious

[stable quarry]

feel free to use it but you can't sprint in it sadly

[mental verge]

Maybe there are some uncharted bouncy anomalies around yanov

[peak eagle]

Spoiler, this the only one that can't upgrade to sprint lol

[snow hill]

who needs to sprint in this game? not like its got a wide open big space that takes a while to traverse

[willow skiff]

did they reduce the dmg that certain anomalies do in the latest patch?

[stable quarry]

jokes aside i cannot think of a more horrible thing than to be in armor that can't sprint when an emission hits

[mental verge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyorxys32I4
I mean jumping like this guy

[shadow sphinx]

Go out on a mission, whether it's assassinate a terrorist, rescue some hostages, whatever.
I think Gun Jesus got those mixed up.

[willow skiff]

im taking waaay less dmg from springboard anomalies. Wondering if the dmg got nerfed in a recent patch cause I don't think I have a mod that changes the dmg

[pliant sigil]

I just realized. I'm a stalker wearing what is basically a space suit. While using a Rhino. I am the space cowboy.

[stable quarry]

you saying they should assassinate hostages and rescue terrorists?
sounds soviet enough

[mental verge]

I'm playing on the old version and these usually take 3 hits to kill me

[sharp pendant]

you know, I need to check something

[mental verge]

I wonder if physical resistance works with gravitational anomalies

Maybe that's the case

[gray eagle]

It should

[sharp pendant]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=785912239&searchtext=snork ok good, someone already thought of it

[willow skiff]

actually wait its not springboard I think...whats the name of the anomaly that violently pulls you in and zooms your screen in as it does it

[analog pasture]

anybody got a mod to disable auto lean? ts is infuriating

[pliant sigil]

Another great thing about the Rhino running off 9x39 is that box pickups usually give you 30 rounds. 30 rounds for a revolver tends to last a helluva lot longer than it would for an assault rifle

[crisp rampart]

if you get the zalyssia locked doors bug and you progress to the quest with scar, is there just no genuine way to save them?

[mental verge]

From my research it used to be called springboard in the older games, but now it's called both springboard and vortex

[gray eagle]

bro why does my game randomly drop to 8 fucking fps

[crisp rampart]

same shit happens to me man

[mental verge]

At least that's how it's displayed on the interactive map I use

[gray eagle]

like literally nothing is happening to cause it

[crisp rampart]

stays at like 8 fps for a few mins then normalizes again

[wicked flax]

completed s2 and now all thats left is my need to play gamma. I have been spoiled

[mental verge]

Oh wait I'm dumb, vortex it is!

Aw, I don't know anymore, every article I read says different things

[pliant sigil]

So I just went to the cement factory because it has the closest technician and guide. Emission happens. For some ungodly reason, most of the Dutyers were just chilling outside, in no hurry to take cover.

There are now at least a dozen dead Dutyers. I helped myself to their belongings, as one does.

[willow skiff]

oh.... lmao I see what hapopened

I installed every modular hard mode mod module except the one that tweaks the difficulty

[gray aspen]

how am i supposed to fight the tyrant? im hitting like 15+ headshots with a shot gun slugs and hes just walking it off

[mental verge]

Free loot! Nice! I encountered this bug in the garbage

[slim elbow]

is cnpp and generators confirmed as dlc areas?

[willow skiff]

I was tanking anomalies and enemies like nothing. Now i should be feeling the pain now that I'm using the Hardcore economy module

[gray aspen]

i think so, along with limansk and iron forest

[slim elbow]

noice noice, quite eager to explore these areas, especially the generators actual outside area

[mental verge]

You could try to drop extra ammo and medkits before giving your equipment, but that's not really a clean fight

In my defence Tyrant doesn't play fair too :P

[pliant sigil]

...Okay there were a lot more than a dozen dead Dutyers. I'm pretty sure that emission just killed like half of what little remains of Duty.

[random light]

nah, not even close. Aps shreds even at medium distance

[desert rampart]

just got around to reading the patch notes for 1.0.3 and damn they are really focusing big quest bugs

[gray aspen]

yea so the shotgun is basically unusable in this fight, cuz you just cant kill him with it

likei just hit like 20 straight headshots and he just lasered me

and he bum rushes off the platform before i can shoot the explosives

[snow hill]

I'm going in

[royal jasper]

good luck stalker

[mental verge]

I tried with an ak, but he tanked it as well

[mental verge]

Good luck!

[sharp pendant]

I love these random photos of people you find

[desert rampart]

wonder if they are tributes of the team members

[snow hill]

jesus fucking christ

ITS A BIT FUCKING HOT IN HERE

[desert rampart]

great for marshmellows

[sharp pendant]

I'm just glad they aren't obviously out of place kickstarter backer pictures

[snow hill]

pov: you're inside the average stalkers pc during a memory leak

[desert rampart]

very great for marshmallows

heat up your food

[gray aspen]

average summer day in Georgia

[desert rampart]

it would be funny you eat a sausage and it is a bit charred

[desert rampart]

when you run CP2077 on a potato

[snow hill]

well that was close

[sharp pendant]

I literally just got startled falling down an open manhole cover

[gray aspen]

yea tyrant fight is litterally just unplayable for me

[mossy jasper]

Can you join duty in this game

please

[gray aspen]

everyutime i have him in my fov my fps frops by like 90 % and my image quality decide im playing 720p on my 1440p monitor

[sharp pendant]

shockingly little down here, would make a neat base if there were building jmechanics

[gray aspen]

why? theyre like arguably one of the worst factions in the game

seriously whats the appeal of duty?

[mossy jasper]

Duty is the only force against Bandits,Mutants,Anarchists and the Military

[mental verge]

You forgot deadly anomalies

[sharp pendant]

loyalty from always starting at Rostok in Gamma

[mossy jasper]

They are all diamond dogs i won't let them scatter in the heartless zone

[snow hill]

Place is called cooling tower
look inside
Fire tornado

[snow hill]

military larp, red and black armor

[gray aspen]

i seem to remember another distinctly popular military group ppl like to larp as who also had red and black as their primary colours.

[glossy lake]

So just finished ||sircaa|| and a side mission popped up at while running close to || Zalissya || currently the || monolith are attacking and was asked to help the town via radio || yet when i get to the town all the || monolith || are inside the safe zone inside the curch all bugged out. Any idea how to unbug them?

[snow hill]

omg warhammer 40k refrence

[gray aspen]

how it feels talking to an average doodier

[mossy jasper]

The only thing Duty member complain about is the food and the belief that they are all gonna die fighting the zone. Every other faction complains about hunger, leadership and the way their faction is fightin

[zinc sapphire]

Have you updated to 1.0.3?

[glossy lake]

yes

[willow skiff]

OOF, unfortuately npcs spawning upside down halfway in the ground is still happening

[snow hill]

okay so cooling tower had jack and shit in it... well except this doodad

[zinc sapphire]

RIP. update should have fixed it

[gray aspen]

bro doody complains about how ppl across the zone live their lives, they complain about the fauna in the zone, they complain its growing, they complain that ppl have different ideologies than them

[peak eagle]

Check behind, you've haven't seen the teleporter anomaly

[gray aspen]

they complain the most

[glossy lake]

rip indeed.... wish safe zone's didn't exist if it causes this crap tbh lmao

[zinc sapphire]

Second pic looks like they're all huddled and talking about you xD

[mossy jasper]

They just have an actual duty to perform while every other faction just roaches into shit that duty is smart enough not to stick their dick into

[glossy lake]

yes

[snow hill]

oooh

[glossy lake]

i was hoping agroing one would draw the rest of them out but they didnt lol

[peak eagle]

Now take a leap of faith (save before you do that)

[mossy jasper]

I am a monolith simp but duty is a close second behind it

[zinc sapphire]

Iirc you have to repair it. Good rifle tho

[indigo frost]

LMAO

[wicked flax]

when do yall reckon til we get some crazy good mods

[snow hill]

chill

[mossy jasper]

Give us half a year and stalker 2 will be modded out

[indigo frost]

idk im bored tho

need some new spice in my life

[glossy lake]

well i got half of them out. Seems almost impossible to get the other half out in the other room lmfao

[wicked flax]

legends 👍

[fallow stone]

Got my first SPAS-12

[rain hemlock]

is the ~mods folder a UE5 thing or is it supported by GSC?

[hybrid heart]

Will Grok work on S2 Gamma and ||remove guns on the shop list|| is the real question

[royal jasper]

you guys buy guns?

[hybrid heart]

I sell guns

[rain hemlock]

European union be like "No guns >:("

[zinc sapphire]

I got a similar one

[hybrid heart]

Selling guns is my main profit tbh

[mossy jasper]

The gun market in stalker 2 sucks ass 90% of my weapons are stolen

[fallow stone]

I've heard people say the Hilka detector is ass, can more people either confirm or deny this ?

[rain hemlock]

i mean with a proper task board you dont need to sell guns for money

[wicked flax]

i just know the valev makes it so easy

[gray eagle]

it has the best range, best to keep it and the bear till you get the veles

[royal jasper]

artifacts are my main source. spend about 2-3 hours for artifacts using guides, makes you 6 digit dough

[hybrid heart]

True, but I'll still continue to sell guns as my alt profit if that time comes

More coupon is good, right?

[mossy jasper]

500k on repairs 0k coupons on food and guns

[golden hazel]

GAMMA 2 comes out September 2038

[rain hemlock]

i wonder why they used Coupons tho. The names suck ass. I guess they started with roubles and switched halfway through development?

[hybrid heart]

True...

[zinc sapphire]

@hybrid heart hyeeet! Haaa! Hyeh!

Skif gonna die of diabetes and heart damage from all the Salamis, tourists delights and yogurt. He is also a morphine addict

[zinc sapphire]

I thought that was how Link talked tho

[fallow stone]

First encounter with snorks, good to know they're still ass to fight

[royal jasper]

i have the biggest chub rn

[mossy jasper]

Try enjoying a fight with controllers

[golden hazel]

Skif doesnt have kidney stones, his kidneys are stones from all the energy drinks

[rain hemlock]

Bro, i dont know why they implemented psy damage like they did in S2

[fallow stone]

First controller encounter was funny more than hard.

[zinc sapphire]

I love how the timebar ticks up in time with each shell being loaded

[mossy jasper]

Don't forgot the alchohol

His body is a machine that turns radiation into urine

[rain hemlock]

Like Uuuuuuuh, you are going crazy so now fake poeple with real guns spawn and degrade your equipment lmao

[golden hazel]

liquid rock*

[mossy jasper]

Whoever created psydogs is a demon

[zinc sapphire]

I forgot this wasn't Gamma and was playing hide and seek with it... the once I realised it's not gamma, I rushed him down and made him deepthroat my shotgun

[rain hemlock]

Its all a ploy from Big Repair. The mechanics are the true villains

[rain hemlock]

that arena fight

[bronze token]

"think fast shitass"

[mossy jasper]

I remember having a laugh once i started spamming my shotgun into the back of a retreating controller

[zinc sapphire]

Entitely satisfying after dealing with the suicide-causing assholes in Gamma

[rain hemlock]

my first controller stopped attacking midway through and just waddled away from me. Wo the suicide when youre close controllers are actually quite tame

[zinc sapphire]

Yeah. Tbh, they would actually be scary if they had the suicide aura

[pliant sigil]

Is it just me or does the Garbage/lower cement factory area have the most anomalies in the smallest area

[zinc sapphire]

Without it they are a joke

[zinc sapphire]

They're all over the place there yeah. Also over toward chemical plant

[wicked flax]

was this guy just a placeholder then or a side mission i havent done

[fallow stone]

I think it's fucking hilarious seeing mutants get yeeted in every direction when you blast 'em with shotgun shells

[snow hill]

epic fallout 4 refrence

[pliant sigil]

I'm trying to get my hands on another Liquid Rock but every chemical anomaly is like "You know what you need? More Urchins."

[hybrid heart]

why 'another' tho, you wouldn't need more than two

[zinc sapphire]

At least they sell for decent amounts

[rain hemlock]

i found 4 of these "rare" rocks

[pliant sigil]

I should've clarified, I got one on my previous playthrough but not this one.

[rain hemlock]

chemical plant and that hole in Garbage are my way to go

[snow hill]

found this in a nearby stash lol

[zinc sapphire]

Oh shit I missed that one...

[hybrid heart]

fair enough

[zinc sapphire]

There is another gun too, if you head more toward the Red Fortress building, there's a hole with some flame anomalies in it, and the gun is in there

[royal mural]

nice

@snow hill btw i finally got meself a gauss

[raven current]

Wtf is this hallucination that i see things double. Is it a bug or did i use some drug lol

[royal mural]

its just the zone

[dreamy pecan]

HOW DO I GET MORE CARRY WEIGHT im thick and need to be thicker

[zinc sapphire]

Artifacts

[dreamy pecan]

[rain hemlock]

when 2 stalkers like each other very much

[royal mural]

https://tenor.com/view/goat-fast-mouth-open-tongue-out-licking-lips-gif-19083816

[zinc sapphire]

Yes, but I've only found a single 10% increase on any of them

[dreamy pecan]

gross, need backpack mod

[royal mural]

i mean are +6kg artefacts not enough?

[snow hill]

some armor get carry weight upgrades but they're small

[rain hemlock]

no

[dreamy pecan]

never, not for the hobgoblin looter i am

[snow hill]

artefacts are where its at

[royal mural]

well sounds like a you problem to me kind sir

[rain hemlock]

why does the game have loot when i am not supposed to pick it up?

[zinc sapphire]

I was only answering the question. I already said artifacts xD

[royal mural]

you can carry about over 120 kg i dont know maybe play truck simulator?

[zinc sapphire]

Skyrim

[rain hemlock]

carefull or i drive through the zone with my long hauler

[dreamy pecan]

Why does this look like the car Sultan would drive?

[rain hemlock]

[royal mural]

[rain hemlock]

well, itll probably be black with white stripes

[fallow stone]

Found the model for Basic Tools boys

[royal mural]

looks more like boltception to me

[fallow stone]

Shh

[royal mural]

wait a sec are you wearing ward armor?

Yeah, it's surprisingly good.

[royal mural]

i hate ward so much i dont even loot them

[fallow stone]

I'm still unsure about my opinion on them, kinda too fresh yet to be worthy of my hatred.

[royal mural]

ohh yea i get that true

[abstract furnace]

is 7.62x54r bugged? just witnessed a normal bandit take one round to the head and two to the chest and he acted as if he didn't feel a thing

[royal mural]

i even one shot exo guys from time to time with 54r idk

[zinc sapphire]

@snow hill did you find that gun I mentioned?

[fallow stone]

Right now SIRCAA dudes have egos the size of the CNPP, ward are just a bunch of... Weird Duty and Military larpers and the ex-monolith dudes are kinda nice.

[royal mural]

what i found out tho is there are "named" npcs that can tank like 50 shots to the head

[fallow stone]

Seeing monolith not being crackheads is fascinating me

[snow hill]

this dudes pda has a fuckin archive tab

[royal mural]

[analog pasture]

is the poppy field bugged? the energy drinks seemingly do nothing at all

[snow hill]

get fucked

[royal mural]

i cant get more fucked than the forest haha

[snow hill]

not yet, i went east instead of west

[fallow stone]

I fucking love these anomalies, goofy ass death-soap bubbles

[royal mural]

but the sound is kinda asmr

[zinc sapphire]

.... the npcs get all the fun stuff. NVGs, better flashlights, archive tabs in their pda... they're taunting us at this point 😠

[fallow stone]

ASMR that doesn't make me want to punch something, yeah.

[royal mural]

what gun i wanna know

[zinc sapphire]

Custom OTs Groza

[royal mural]

tell me more tell me more

[zinc sapphire]

Cooling towers area, head west from the Duty base bridge, then north around the end of the water canal, then follow the road north and you'll come across a hole on the left side of the road which has flame anomalies in it. Gun is in there

[royal mural]

ok ty

[royal mural]

i get so sad when i hear duty base but its ruled by those crackheads

[zinc sapphire]

If they didn't fix it, hang around the duty base for a while and you can farm their corpses after emissions

[fallow stone]

gamma and the other games have trained me well for reaching stupid stashes.

[pliant sigil]

I just had a dumb idea for a run restriction. Rhinos only. One with 9x39 and one with 12 gauge. Roll up to Monolith and be like "you've yee'd your last haw, pardner."

[zinc sapphire]

Because they all stand outside like dumbasses and die to the emission

[royal mural]

[snow hill]

i just think a shit ton of stuff that was either broken or not implimented yet was cut so they could make a christmas release window for sales

[royal mural]

pre order rifle i dont have that one

[zinc sapphire]

Yeah, probably. But I still like the idea the npcs are taunting the players with their stuff xD

[golden hazel]

There is no Leon Kennedy unfortunately

[snow hill]

kill 'em then!

[gray eagle]

They did say they are working on free updates so I assume that stuff is around the corner

[royal mural]

i did but i couldnt loot their fancy goggles

[wanton arch]

wonder how long A life gonna take. Maybe i should forget about this game for an year or so. Probably better that way

[golden hazel]

My guess is 6 months

[royal mural]

oi devil

[zinc sapphire]

They do a good job of that themselves :p

[wanton arch]

they will probably have to optimize the game first and then think about A-life.

[golden hazel]

They have different teams working at the same time no need to worry about only one thing at a time

[royal jasper]

am i restarted?

[gray eagle]

in a cave/building below u

[wanton arch]

oh thats nice

[fallow stone]

Damn I'm sad the loners nearby killed the boar that had bugged out and gone neutral... I even named him bob.

[royal mural]

i still cant get the artefacts in garbage heap maze

still annoys me

[golden hazel]

The what now

[royal mural]

in garbage heap is an area called maze theres 2 artefacts and they are bugged for me

[golden hazel]

[royal mural]

wth is going on here

[golden hazel]

Oh sorry I was speaking through the monolith, force of habit

[shadow sphinx]

[golden hazel]

I need to go check that place out, cause I don't remember Maze
