[novel lagoon]

just shot a zombie ten times with the railgun and bro lived

[wanton arch]

IMO stalker 2 steam should have mixed reviews

[river lintel]

No he died to the first shot but had to complete its animation

[main lagoon]

Had something similar happen as well, I think the way zombie hp is tracked is a bit odd, due to their ability to come back to life

[river lintel]

Go back fo reddit if you're going to be such a doomer about it

[wanton arch]

reddit is for retards who say the game was made in trenches stfu

[novel lagoon]

another crash i-

[river lintel]

I've found several times if you shoot them when they are standing up they finish the animation and then collapse

[royal jasper]

this is random, but which channel can i use bot commands without annoying ppl?

[verbal oyster]

before I knew to destroy the emitters, when just exploring, the zombies constantly "respawn". so I took their guns, and then they would just stand up and fall back down
"nothing to do, might as well die "

[main lagoon]

try #🤖bot-commands

[royal jasper]

man my old eyes... i did not see that shit after 5 scrolls. thanks man

[proud ruin]

reddit truly is the worst

[main lagoon]

no worries

[river lintel]

I only see on reddit "a life doesn't exist, this is a scam game, why do people enjoy this garbage" etc etc. Like what you're doing. Right now. So no I won't stfu. I'm gonna call a spade a spade

[wanton arch]

im happy for you or sorry that happened

[proud ruin]

reddit is for people who want an echo chamber of their own opinions

[round thunder]

I hate that they cut features! For god's sake! Why remove the ability to go prone? Why remove so many guns? Why force an open world if it was going to cause issues with A life? Why change the way emissions work instead of keeping them functioning exactly the same? Where the fuck are the factions?! Why are Bandits part of the Free Stalkers now? Why can't I see the names and factions of the people I'm pointing my cursor at? Why are free stalkers suddenly untrustworthy twats when in the previous games they were the most tight knit community after duty?

[verbal oyster]

time to go leave a positive review

[sturdy meteor]

Isn't that the same all over the internet though?

[proud ruin]

i guess but reddit is pretty bad for it

[wanton arch]

reddit is the worst offender though cuz upvote system

also karma and other tard bs

[sturdy meteor]

yeah thats true. the upvote slipped my mind, never notice useless validation features like that

[river lintel]

Youre forgetting about Twitter

thank god ive never been on

Here's the full guide on them mate, hope it helps

[verbal oyster]

Elon when you pour him out of the container he inhabits

[novel lagoon]

joan of arc

[wanton arch]

ofc its joan of arc

[river lintel]

I think it is weird there was enough exodus of one political leaning to Bluesky, then the cp reports rolled in and they blamed the other side of the aisle who have mostly stuck to X

[spare forge]

Saint Joan of Arc**

[wanton arch]

looks so cool though maybe i will stop shitting on france just because her

she hard carried french reputation its not even funny

[sturdy meteor]

makes no sense to me, not merican to understand the whole gig

[novel lagoon]

ugh thank u. ur so smart and cool. i appreciate u so much, kylo him.

[main lagoon]

Saint Joan of Arc the Martyr***

[spare forge]

literally the only good thing to come out of France

[wanton arch]

second maybe GAMMA

[main lagoon]

And then they killed her

[spare forge]

damn bro is so mad I gave her extra respect lmao

[wanton arch]

true holy fuck, i think she hates france more then me

[wanton arch]

he wasnt mad bro

[sturdy meteor]

and god killed his son.. starting to notice a pattern

[wanton arch]

he loved you frfr with kisses and hugs xoxo

[spare forge]

thought it was da britz?

[spare forge]

ong og u rite

[wanton arch]

didnt she die on a stake on fire and was fine with it

[river lintel]

Tldr Left wing people left Twitter and conservatives stayed. Cp becomes rampant on Bluesky, conservatives blamed

[wanton arch]

so cool

[spare forge]

ehhh doubtful but she prolly had the spirit

[sour narwhal]

What's the console command for rendering an fps count on-screen?

[river lintel]

You can use your gpu overlay. Nvidia has one and I'm sure and does to. Keybind is alt r for nvidia

[wanton arch]

nvidia one is so buggy lol

i lowkey recommend riva tuner statistics server

[sturdy meteor]

they can blame all they want, they are still trying to indoctrinat kids into weird shit, could almost say they have an ulterior motive

good riddance

[main lagoon]

Probably best to avoid such an offtopic conversation

[wanton arch]

peace chat have a good one

bluesky

[river lintel]

Oh, lol yeah

[river lintel]

Yeah sorry. So anyways, bullpup rifles are objectively sexier, fight me

[wanton arch]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-black-dudes-laughing-laughing-at-phone-haha-gif-27326716

[main lagoon]

Bullpups to me seem like bulldogs, in otherwords malformed creatures

[river lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/booger-bullpup-gif-23943057

Ever shoot a bullpup irl? Very comfy

[main lagoon]

Like, I love the engineering behind them and they're literally just better at getting the most bullet per bullet, but I like the look of a non-bullpup gun more

[river lintel]

I just realized. I think i need a FAMAS mod?

[spare forge]

bullet per bullet

[proud ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/donald-trump-wrong-gif-9806204

[river lintel]

When I think of bullpups I think of the FAMAS, a lot of halo weapons and such

[small heart]

Fn2000

[main lagoon]

Longer barrel means higher muzzle velocity

[verbal oyster]

"this gun is way too ergonomic, what if we stuck the magazine behind our trigger hand"

[river lintel]

It looks weird but it's got that dog in it

[novel lagoon]

no im just being silly

[river lintel]

It's far back enough you don't notice

[small heart]

It’s the inspiration for the halo assault rifle, I love it in the other games cause I can feel like master chief with a fn2000 and a exosuit

[novel lagoon]

yeah no its broken, its fucked, im not playing this for a few years

[acoustic ivy]

is the grom worth investing into?

[wary orbit]

The only Bullpup i can tolerate is the P90

[golden hazel]

Gonna need a 1911 with a 6 ft barrel

[spare forge]

nah I get you, just "bullet per bullet" is a funny phrase lol Does that mean bullets are just coming out 2 at a time for bullpups?

[main lagoon]

Every later game gun is, you can make the grom shred
Esp. the unique version

[small heart]

Also if there was a fn2000 in stalker 2 with the same firerate as the other games I would only use that gun, shits like a laser beam

[main lagoon]

Hah, well, you'd unironically get a much higher muzzle velocity, you'd just have to cart that tube around with ya

[river lintel]

Also the SVU is a beautiful rifle

[verbal oyster]

uh you definitely wouldn't lol

[main lagoon]

1 bullet in an AR15 is amounts to 1.1 bullets worth of force when in a bullpuped ar15 instead

[verbal oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/godfather-massacre-sad-gif-16810633

[main lagoon]

Hmm? It'd be atleast a few tens of meters a second more I'm sure

[river lintel]

You don't like ARs that you can piss the ATF off with?

[golden hazel]

So all of them

[verbal oyster]

6ft you'll be losing velocity
maybe not if you're running Bubba's "Pissin' Hot Loads"

[river lintel]

Yee. Idk. I'm someone who really loves a more compact frame for weapons. I adore SBRs and AR pistols

https://tenor.com/view/pissing-all-by-your-self-handsome-gif-26995536

[spare forge]

I understand the concept of fire rates I'm jw why you don't call it that bullet per bullet is such a strange way to phrase that

[main lagoon]

Depending on if it's a modern reproduction m1911 or an original, you could handload to a much higher pressure, or simply use PP rounds and get great results out of the longer barrel

[golden hazel]

PP

[river lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/portal-turret-bullet-whole-bullet-more-bullet-per-bullet-gif-27343905

[fallow pivot]

kinda hot

[median fossil]

anyone know if there is a stlaker 2 unlimited mission mod?

[main lagoon]

I might just be reading what you're saying wrong, but I'm not talking about fire rates at all - I mean that the powder inside the bullet is being used more efficiently when shot out of a bullpuped gun thanks to the longer barrel
It's given more time to push on, and speed up, the bullet

[fallow pivot]

missions for barkeeps, needle, the ones with reward prices beside them (ex: Mission: XXXXX (1000)) are radiant missions that refresh 72 hours after previous one is completed

[river lintel]

Right? Why be basic when you can be just (or more) effective in style

[river lintel]

It's built in. Beautifully

[spare forge]

oh so you're saying the kinetic force of each bullet traveling is faster not the rates my bad. I read that last statement as bullpups shoot 1.1 for every 1 a non-Bullpup shoots. my bad

[fallow pivot]

Im used to be able to get like 3 jobs at a time from the same NPC, and radiant quests are not very obvious for most players

[median fossil]

I mean like I dont have to wait a day for another missions from barkeep etc

[golden hazel]

[fallow pivot]

Slagheap job > Rostok Job > etc. Do rotations maybe. Vanilla time passes by pretty quickly anyway.

[river lintel]

Wander down to 100rads. Get some work. Grab some vodak and hit the road. And once a life Is unfucked and they hopefully add cut content? Ooo boy this game will be endlessly replayable

[river lintel]

Or go to bed

[median fossil]

Yeah I could do that. I was just curious

[main lagoon]

You can almost just think of it like a bullpup gun has a 10% damage multiplier

[river lintel]

Is it confirmed rasing slag heap rep fucks you over with other factions?

[wary orbit]

yeah except thats not whats happening. The Barrel length is ~ the same as in conventional rifles just it is shifted backwards and allows for a more compact design.

[main lagoon]

Duty, Stalkers, and others still love me after raising slag heap

[verbal oyster]

yeah more like a bullpup of similar OAL will have higher muzzle velocities than its "standard" counterpart
(technicalities)

[sour narwhal]

Yeah, normally I would just use the steam overlay one but it doesn't render via the steam overlay when launched through the mod manager

[river lintel]

The compact design allows for the same effectiveness in cqc and especially indoors, and they are cute

[royal jasper]

Are there any guides that can take you to yanov? cant find any currently

[river lintel]

Gross

[main lagoon]

Atleast in most cases, but for some guns they use the bullpup design in order for a longer barrel with the overall same gun dimensions - in this case it'd be as I mean

[main lagoon]

Have you been to yanov?

[verbal oyster]

reshade has one too if you happen to be using that

[sour narwhal]

I probably should make a reshade install for this game, i haven't yet

[main lagoon]

Of course it's actually more like a 6% velocity increase, depending on the bullet, so not 10% as stated, but 10% is a lot easier to remember hah
Assuming you manage to add another 12 or so inches to the barrel length after bullpuping it
Of course, a 6% velocity increase might be an actually decent amount of "bonus" kinetic energy you're getting "for free" , and in the right situations might well be worth it

[river lintel]

Id be i pressed if yours managed already

[vast sluice]

any1 know how i can pick up placeables?

oh wrong chat srry

[heady mulch]

wtf am i supposed to do inn this room?? im stuck in here

[golden hazel]

Push button

[heady mulch]

I push

[sour narwhal]

Hmmm?

[heady mulch]

Yeah I’ve pushed all the buttons and destroyed the psi emitting lights still stuck in here

[golden hazel]

You gotta push em in a certain order

[viral brook]

you need to push them in a specific order

a bulb will light up when it is correct

if you have pushed all the buttons in the correct order so all the lights are lit, then the door opens from memory

[heady mulch]

thanks

that’s some mzulft elder scroll puzzle shit from Skyrim

[abstract lagoon]

cant be that dumb if you needed help

sorry, that was mean

[haughty sierra]

do what you will with this information

[fallow pivot]

Oh jeez. My character lost his ability to sprint. Im on green weight.

rip. Even reloading the game hasnt worked

or changing bindings.

I think it might've been triggered by my save loading as a bloodsucker screams. And its slow effects is permanently stuck on me

[amber breach]

64hours, first run finished, it was amazing. will load pre-end save and explore pripyat more now.

[royal jasper]

to people that have finished or are pretty far in the game, whats your top 3 suits? (except exo, ofcourse)

[haughty sierra]

that sucks big time wtf

try to load older save idk

[main lagoon]

Be double sure you're not wearing a no-sprint exo

[main lagoon]

The basic duty suit is pretty great, and you can get it early
Then there's the guardian of freedom suit

If you know the spots there's a lot of good options, of course they all pale in comparison to exos when you get one that allows sprinting

Still, fashion is fashion, so use what you like best

[royal jasper]

these are my current options. im spoiled for choice, and in need of some coin, so once i choose one of them the rest go. (freedom seva, second, last row, is my current with upgrades)

[main lagoon]

You're better off not selling them unless absolutely required

It's quite easy to grind for cash in stalker 2, just pick a larger building in a late game area, and roam around it
Cooling towers works well for me, and I was able to grind out 50k in just a run or two

But, if you sell those suits, you might never be able to get them again, so be cautious

[royal jasper]

yeah i suppose so. artifact hunting has been very fun for coupon collecting. i think i just need a change of clothes for a while. especially with just getting to yantar, i want to splurge abit. i've heard seva D is really good, i might hunt for that, just dno if any of these suits beat it.

[main lagoon]

If you're in a late game enough area where folks with VSS's, Groms, Integral As etc start spawning, each one of those sell for upwards of 2k each, more if the shop keep likes you

[royal jasper]

theyre currently green, so i cant complain so far 🙂 im a likeable guy!

someone just mentioned the ssp 1001 suit is insanely good until i get my hands on end game suits, i might hunt for that!

[main lagoon]

Good luck, hope you end up finding one 🙂

[tight lava]

Go from A to B to C to D

That's STALKER 2 tbh. Standard FPS. Great gfx tho

[zealous obsidian]

I hate this crap . everytime I over shoooot by far and the bloodsucker is behind the corner man what ze fuq

It is not dark, it is the typical windows BS if you record stuff and have HDR on

[tight lava]

Side step him, Serpentres

[zealous obsidian]

huh?

[tight lava]

It's difficult, but it works most of the time, when it fails tho... Bloodsuckers

I do a short dash when he comes at me. Works (most) of the time

[zealous obsidian]

why? I killed him before he reached me.
I have a problem with this slow motion mechanics. this needs to go

[tight lava]

Oh! I misunderstood.

I quite like it! It might just be the level design is janky at that bit

They need a good bit of room to run around don't they, the bloodsuckers

[zealous obsidian]

in this video , the bloodsucker was behind the corner. I have hit him at least once before he was getting around and STILL the slow motion was active because I run away to get distance. this is so stupid. and he was after all behind the corner.

[tight lava]

Bad level design, aye

[zealous obsidian]

I dont like those artificial help or immersion things. This feels forced and don't help me and it is also not immersive to me

I hope there is a way to delete all slow-motion in this game at some time.

Is there a way to know when to use AP on mutants or is it just noppe never?

some stalkers are just different

[polar widget]

quick question guys do artifacts degrade in stalker 2 or should i use them as much as possible

[late kernel]

no such mechanic, use them as much as you want

[polar widget]

thnx

and should i sell to sidor or is his prices bad?

[late kernel]

Sell it to scientists, they give the best price

[light quartz]

anyone using fubar mod?

[late kernel]

what is that

[light quartz]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/658

[polar widget]

u mean artifacts or evrything in general? my stash is full of loot but not shure what is best place to sell it all

[gray aspen]

why are guns so shakey in this game?

like man with a 2x on my gun my gun is swinging more than some one recording a street fight

[late kernel]

Malachite and Yaniv give better prices for your stuff

[toxic comet]

they just keep coming

[late kernel]

Are you at the chemical plant? Apparently NPCs keep respawning in bases

[toxic comet]

it seem so

fuck that i am out xD

[atomic minnow]

wtf

Journalist's stash with VSS veteran did not spawn

does anyone know if this problem can be solved?

[plain hedge]

anyone think the Mac 10 is OP

[light quartz]

i got.all the jounalist stashes didnt have this issue

[clever sigil]

You have the ultimate edition right?

[atomic minnow]

sure

я эту игру в рот ебал кста

[clever sigil]

Please use english thanks.

[toxic comet]

finaly i got one

[formal elm]

wow just translated and it's not polite

[wraith quarry]

Anyone knows if there is an artefact at the mirage arch anomaly in the red forest?

[stable mica]

What do you expect, fuck you

[atomic minnow]

[formal elm]

?

[atomic minnow]

ohhhh

[wraith quarry]

turns out, there are no artifacts at mirage arch anomaly, I've died 10 bloody times to find that out, thank you dark souls

[heady mulch]

how do i fix the water being so shiny when underground?

[soft ruin]

trying to mod it with vortex and now i have to redownload 116gb worth of stuff, gdi

[heady mulch]

water acting as if its on the surface

[soft ruin]

there is that one mod that fix glare reflection when inside building or something

[heady mulch]

ill have to find it

[soft ruin]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/137 might or might not working

[clever sigil]

Yeah, thats why I asked you.

Pillock.

[atomic minnow]

i have ultimate editon

not preorder

[clever sigil]

Yeah but you did not buy it before the game came out.

But dont worry, ite just a reskin anyway.

[atomic minnow]

Yes, but you asked me about the publication

[clever sigil]

I asked you about the edition.

The when did you buy it question was going to follow.

[atomic minnow]

but there was no question from you

[clever sigil]

.

[atomic minnow]

Ok, whatever

[clever sigil]

Is that not a question ?

[atomic minnow]

this question was not about pre-order

and this gun is given only for pre-order

[heady mulch]

i will try this thanks friend

[clever sigil]

Preorder but for that you had to buy one of the editions

[atomic minnow]

It doesn't matter anymore.

[tacit glacier]

1. It's quiet

Skif is literally Billy

So the gachi bar meme is canon. That was Skif

[toxic comet]

any drum mags for saiga ?

[haughty sierra]

Yes

It exists

[tacit glacier]

Eh. I miss Naruto Running.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNYIMTfcZTE

I can't believe the disrespect for the og sprint anim

[timid oyster]

He aint an og

Shame on him

[tacit glacier]

brb getting Josta to ban them from this chat /jk

[hushed garden]

seen a few people who generally run like this irl

[tacit mortar]

There's no fucking way, dude. That's gotta be bait.

[toxic comet]

psi field plus one art

[tacit mortar]

Yeah I quicksaved and said "fuck it" and ran in like I do with most things I don't understand in this game lol

[heady mulch]

unfortunately caused by this mod using the performance version (boost)

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/7?tab=posts&BH=0

using the base version doesnt have that problem

[scarlet orbit]

Hello, could someone point me to this location on the map? It's in the Duga region

The anomaly is bugged but I can't find it

[plain hedge]

My game just locked up and somehow managed to use like 48gb of my RAM

[fallow pivot]

The consequence of adding changes to AI and weapon damage is burer 1 hits me with a fully upgrade seva lol

[plain hedge]

wouldn't unlock either, had to hardkill it. is that something easy to fix?

[heady mulch]

need to find out how to get rid of the... dust? damn this looks like shit

[fallow pivot]

Nope. Memory leak. Just restart the game.

bruh

[wary orbit]

oh buswreck of the lake give us your wisdom

[wary orbit]

228 in 3...2...1...

[fallow pivot]

same character, 2nd playthrough

[wary orbit]

who else would it be other than Skif?

[fallow pivot]

140 hours in. Still didnt expect to die 140 ish times in 1 playthrough lol

[willow skiff]

Underground cave

[pseudo storm]

The times I die to fall damage is a bit wacky

[late kernel]

It's not like Anomaly where you can survive a 100 meter fall with an exoskeleton xdd

[wary orbit]

nor should you.

[icy basin]

It's after the ||sewer section in Duga's town leading up to the Faust bossfight|| I believe

[scarlet orbit]

Could you give me a little pointer? Cheers.

[storm monolith]

blakcwater sample

[fallow pivot]

fair, but even back in anomaly, I dont use exoskeletons

This guy in garbage tried to rob someone but got them killed lol. Now Im robbing him. Wonder what happens to his debt.

[dreamy holly]

Am I the only one using flight cheats? Because I'm tired of these kilometers of boring world

[wary orbit]

yes

[dreamy holly]

😥

[fallow pivot]

Yeah.

[dreamy holly]

The game has nothing to interest you other than the plot.

[wary orbit]

speak for yourself, i like exploring post soviet industrial ruins

[fallow pivot]

Eh? Bunch of stashes littered throughout the zones. Artifact hunting. Side missions. Random underground locations with potential loot.

[dreamy holly]

I don't know, I don't have any artifacts and shit drops from the caches.

[fallow pivot]

This isnt fallout where the world revolves around you. Would be doubly so if A-life existed. Unfortunately it aint active

[icy basin]

Gimme like..
20 minutes and I'll walk over there

Maybe 30, I just got home

[scarlet orbit]

Yeah all good, I'm eating anyway

[dreamy holly]

I get more from corpses than from these stupid hiding places.

[fallow pivot]

You should see some of the loot people have found in the game.

[wary orbit]

Have you considered Stardew Valley? Maybe thats more up your alley.

[fallow pivot]

Those are the easy to reach stashes. This game doesnt hold your hand, so you have to actually be a loot goblin and explore the highest buildings if possible, check every corner for loot and delve into canals and fight through mutants to get the good shit.

I havent bought an actual item from the store. I just pick everything up and upgrade it in town. Thats the stalker experience

If thats not your thing, rip

[dreamy holly]

Gamma at least rewards for hours of grinding because it doesn't give out as much loot and the economy is better

[sharp pendant]

you know what would be a sick addition to the lore? having the old abandoned tanks around the place be gotten back up and running, but not for the gun since there's no ammo, but as armored utility vehicles

[fallow pivot]

Ahh gamma

Fair. But expecting gamma out of S2 was a recipe for disaster

In time you'll get S2 Gamma or w/e.

[toxic comet]

here sewers

[scarlet orbit]

in the infirmary?

[toxic comet]

close to infirmary i am going this mission now

[warped monolith]

[scarlet orbit]

alright that's good enough, thanks

@icy basin Probably not needed anymore, but thank you

[wicked sail]

@fallow pivotmany people are disapointed in game, how easy it is, and how shalow it is

[fallow pivot]

sorry to hear that man.

The things I disliked about the game, Ive mostly modded it out. So even at 140 hours Im still enjoying it lol

[alpine swan]

hi folks, will I have access to Duga region after defeating Faust?

[tall pecan]

oh no, amd driver update, time to recompile shaders for 40 minutes

[wicked sail]

@fallow pivoti think it was just expectation that ruined it for me, i was expecting more hardcore survival game then this, this is far cry for me tbh

[dreamy holly]

I went through the location with a huge laboratory with scientists where the monolith is and there the enemies spawned endlessly and I shot and shot but they didn't give a shit

[toxic comet]

hell more snorks fine

[tall pecan]

sigh

[wicked sail]

@fallow pivotnot to mention that no one even belives anymore that ai life 2 is in game

[tall pecan]

Stalker was never hardcore survival game, weird that people had expectations like this

[icy basin]

Yeah I wanted to go to the location itself but the manhole is closed afterwards

[wary orbit]

Game is fine, people simply expected something this game was never going to be. And while i wish this game was a Openworld, CooP Survival Game with Basebuilding and Mutantbreeding, i can enjoy whats here.

[icy basin]

And there are stashes in there

[dreamy holly]

I have 20 hours instead of 10

[late kernel]

Too much Anomaly gave false expectation of Stalker 2

[toxic comet]

hahahaha

[tall pecan]

I just want to play the game shader compliation takes ages for my CPU

[sharp pendant]

O R B

[wary orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/sigmarballs-gif-17829956428917307015

[wicked sail]

@late kernelmaybe it needed just a bit more cooking tbh, i really hope moders will do their job

[dreamy holly]

I don't know, my shader compilation turned off by itself

[tall pecan]

huh

[fallow pivot]

You can blame anomaly, gamma and the like for that

[late kernel]

I mean there's already hardcore mods that at least properly balances the economy and difficulty

[dreamy holly]

Stalker 2

[wicked sail]

@late kernelis there a mod that properly implements feature that was most expected in game?

[red stag]

before starting stalker 2 I havent played stalker gamma in a few years so that allowed me to completely forget the features and gameplay loop of gamma. I was too busy aww'ing at the atmosphere of stalker 2

[fallow pivot]

I never played OG games. But I knew it was going to be very different from anomaly. So despite the massive flaws and missing features, Im quite happy with my experience modding it with whats possible.

[late kernel]

There's mutant loots and faction patches mod

[wicked sail]

@fallow pivotwhat mods do you use, i might go back for it

[dreamy holly]

This shit will never compare to anomaly

[tall pecan]

Tarkov or DayZ waiting for these people 👀

[dense kayak]

Hello guys, do you know where I can find stalker2 steam version saves?

[wicked sail]

@tall pecanso instead of having a normal constructive converstaion you gona push people to go play something else?

[tall pecan]

Yeah, Anomaly feels dated as hell even with all the additions modders add

[wary orbit]

we get it you don't like the game, anything else you wanna contribute?

[wicked sail]

oh regulars are here 🙂

[lunar mist]

How do you load a mod higher than another in stalker 2 if you're installing them manually ATM?

[tall pecan]

Constructive conversation is not really possible on topics like "If my grandma had wheels" imo. It is like getting disappointed you cant ride mutants. Only mods can make it hardcore survival which would take time, game came outlike 10 days ago

[fallow pivot]

adding zzz's to the beginning* of the file name

[wary orbit]

by making sure its loaded last

[lunar mist]

saw that shays living zone has to be loaded on top of everything

[wicked sail]

@tall pecanyou se, thats a lot better

[fallow pivot]

Part of the convo is disagreeing and suggesting you to try other games. GSC aint here, so your constructive criticism serves no purpose here really

[tacit glacier]

Alert

[lunar mist]

ah fuck another patch lmao

[tall pecan]

At least we should be happy that modders have something properly to work on instead of og games that is held by ducktape

[lunar mist]

^^^

[fallow pivot]

Cant wait for the tarkov asset ports

[lunar mist]

omg yes lol

[fallow pivot]

Then we'll have the gatekeepers in the anomaly discord saying how it aint real stalker.

[tall pecan]

Bro i havent finished my 45 minute shader compliations yet plz no

[red stag]

GSC are really cooking with these patches, but I wish they wouldnt crunch themselves

[fallow pivot]

Why the heck is your PC taking 45 minutes to compile

[tacit glacier]

MORE SHADER COMPLICATIONS

[tall pecan]

Old ass CPU

[lunar mist]

well as a skyrim modder, its my game you can eat a fat one bc i will customize it to my liking lol

[wicked sail]

@tall pecanyou know you dont need to wait for it?

[fallow pivot]

rip

[pliant sigil]

Hopefully this is the patch that unfucks the quest to defend Zalyssa

[fallow pivot]

That quest is so fucked.

[sharp pendant]

and unfucks bartender having a ghost of a quest to turn in that I can't turn in

[wicked sail]

@tall pecaninstall UETools from nexus

[lunar mist]

They mass died on the spot for me when that happened lol then i talked to gaffer and finished the quest

[wary orbit]

Dude takes the Steam thing literally and runs his Games on 19th century tech

[tall pecan]

i either wait or experience heavy stutter. anyway 2/3 done lol

[wraith viper]

remember there are no bugs, only anomalies

[lunar mist]

is that GOG?

[late kernel]

with optimized engine.ini tweaks it only takes me 1 minute to compile shaders

[fallow pivot]

120 fps but 45 minutes to compile shaders is crazy lol

I dont even get 60 fps, and it takes me 1-3 minutes max

[tall pecan]

Nah AMD's game/driver software

[lunar mist]

this load order should let shays mod work now right?

or will omega fuck it up lmao

[tall pecan]

what that modloader even do

simple_modloader

[lunar mist]

mf that is a windows file structure in alphabetacle order lol

[tall pecan]

no, nvm yes

[wary orbit]

There is probably a dozen different mods overwriting each other in that modlist but its hard to know if you haven't checked every single one of them for conflicts

[tall pecan]

@lunar mist link to simple_modlaoder pls?

[lunar mist]

the only one I can think of is omega since it edits alot of stuff

[lunar mist]

its for loading the flashlight script in the UEtools console

so you can make the flashlight brighter

[wicked sail]

oh who finished the game? is it possible to free roam?

[lunar mist]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/304 here idk the policy about links in this discord

[tall pecan]

you need to load previous save before final mission

it is kinda like CP77 in that regard, which i dont like

[wicked sail]

oh lord...

[fierce harbor]

Wait what, there is no "live in the zone after story" option...dude thats lame

[wicked sail]

@fierce harboryeah...so much things they could have add

[tall pecan]

story just doesn't make sense otherwise

[wary orbit]

maybe thats a DLC

[fierce harbor]

I know iam maybe minority, but i just wanted gamma 2 😄

[wicked sail]

yes, hopefully

[fierce harbor]

i love stalker story, but i play long time because of the sandbox

[tall pecan]

sandbox doesnt exist without a-life anyway

[livid frost]

it was all in le head and skif wakes up in zalyissa

[tall pecan]

so current gameplay is side missions and story and being loot goblin

[fierce harbor]

fuck off if youre telling the truth

[tall pecan]

[wicked sail]

@fierce harbordude, you gona get a lot of spoilers and stop playing i recomend leaving this channel

[livid frost]

i have no idea havent beat the game

[late kernel]

There's no one to save in Zalyssia because they're all stuck in a spatial anomaly including their attackers

[fierce harbor]

Yeah, se ya

[wary orbit]

wait till you see the Cutscene of Skif riding into Battle with Ward on the back of a Chimera while wielding a PKP in both hands.

[tall pecan]

what happened yesterday lol

Everyone's games crashed at the same time

[wary orbit]

steam outage maybe?

[tall pecan]

seems plausable

[high forge]

yo how do you get the scene where korshunov makes you assemble an AK? by siding with the gaffer in the lesser zone?

[livid frost]

have you been to garbage/ slag heap

[high forge]

yes but everytime he's all friendly and shit

[cinder sleet]

Have I mentioned working is ass? 😦

[livid frost]

did you see where ward comes in with helicopter

[cinder sleet]

and I'm telework today, but swamped.. Pain.

[high forge]

nope

[livid frost]

progress main story a bit and they will come

its a quest for diode

[livid frost]

rip

[sage wolf]

How come there’s no character stats/info screen in this game?? It would make it so much nicer to compare suits with built in headwear to armor + helmet builds and stuff. It’s so annoying to have to add up all the stats and stuff

[livid frost]

helmets only protect head so you dont have to add up

suits give full protection over whole body

[toxic comet]

[tall pecan]

||Sircaa|| mission is really something else man, it is like they created ||second heart of zone in there||

[fallow pivot]

i wonder.. does ||SIRCAA's temple of science become the new base of the monolith after that battle? I mean the monolith is there||

[livid frost]

no

afaik at least

[fallow pivot]

so does it stay empty?

[livid frost]

whole place gets destroyed

[fallow pivot]

Because duga is populated by them even after the ||battle||

[livid frost]

maybe later something will change, havent finished the game so im not sure 100%

[tacit mortar]

Holy shit I'm getting really tired of dying because my heals don't actually work. Just spammed a syringe twice in a row for the animation to fully play out, never interrupted with any running or the like, and it never healed. So ofc I die.

[fallow pivot]

Ah then I'll shush to avoid giving spoilers then

[livid frost]

get seva

[livid frost]

this is real

[fallow pivot]

Yeah it happens sometimes to me too. I think it happens when you spam.

[tall pecan]

i should have sided with ||ward have i known both will be my enemy||

[tacit mortar]

By spam, I only mean I used one after the first one didn't work. I'm not literally mashing the z key to spam it.

[fallow pivot]

My more problematic issue is the lack of a 2 stage reload anim.

[livid frost]

more stuff to shoot when a life doesnt work

[tacit mortar]

Yep, really wanted that in the game but we'll probably have to wait for somebody to mod it in.

[fallow pivot]

I was fighting a chimera so I had to constantly heal up and move. While trying to reload lol. Interrupted it twice. Then my gun jams. Then I interrupted the jam clearing animation and had to unjam again.

Surprised I didnt die tbh but would hate that shit when iron man finally becomes a thing

[plain hedge]

it looks like the devs buffed quest rewards without updating the UI to reflect it
so a 1,000 coupon quest just gave me 3,000 coupons

[wanton arch]

Anyone who plays in a language that isn't eng or Ukrainian, do you notice localization issues? I play in Portuguese and the caliber change for the weapons that can change, always say 5.45 independent of the gun

[tall pecan]

lol amount of shit im carrying

[tacit mortar]

SPOILERS

WHY THE FUCK ARE THE LEAVING IT???

[livid frost]

who the hell mounted that optic that shit is so cooked

[warped monolith]

and still in the yellow? dang

[livid frost]

gambit best pistol also

[clever sigil]

Ward is most sensible choice.

[tacit mortar]

||ALSO WHY THE FUCK DID SKIF LEAVE HIS ARTIFACT AFTER KILLING FAUST WTF. It's like one of the main reason we even went to SIRCAA or the Zone AT ALL.||

[cinder sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/wit-cha-broke-ass-gif-10911042

[clever sigil]

||you did not go back for it?||

[tacit mortar]

||We literally see our original artifact we brough into the zone at the start of the game, in the middle of chasing Faust down at the DUGA. And we just... LEAVE IT?||

[tacit mortar]

||I'm not sure what you mean, but I'm in this mission right now. Scar up and says "Alright! Ward's here! Let's dip!" "Also that artifact I just said would change the world, don't worry about it." And we leave it...??||

[tall pecan]

weird water is op

[livid frost]

also why do they give you guns a 0 durability

[cinder sleet]

tbh it's text. This can be difficult but very well

[toxic comet]

max carry weight is 140kg xD

[tall pecan]

@clever sigil should i reload and side with ||ward what is the implications of it story wise||

[scarlet orbit]

Zoomers in shambles if you don't use emotes

[cinder sleet]

Woah woah woah

[warped monolith]

tbf boomers also have difficulty

it's the milennials who get it because they were born into this

[cinder sleet]

zoomer?

[wary orbit]

do they now?

[scarlet orbit]

Except millenials have an awful sense of humor, which reflects in games

[livid frost]

your uncle died 😂

[cinder sleet]

No shot! We have the BEST sense of humor

[clever sigil]

||yeah the whole noontide story is like the most sad thing in whole stalker series. More so when you return to their island.||

But yeah the outcome of the SIRCAA is same no matter what you do.

[tall pecan]

||ward becomes enemy no matter what?||

[scarlet orbit]

Millenials try to write normal conversations between characters in videogames (IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE, GONE WRONG)

[inland brook]

help

[scarlet orbit]

Time to result back to Borderlands humor!

[warped monolith]

that's zoomer humor tho

[hot ridge]

Should I start selling my stuff? who gives best prices only just reaching monolith now

[tall pecan]

what do you need brother 😭 yo ucant just write help and stop

[toxic comet]

i wanna ride meat bike

[cinder sleet]

What seems to be the problem there? lol

[clever sigil]

||if you side with Ward, you will keep working with Ward and its quite lot of fun. The colonel is really a Chad of the Zone.||

[scarlet orbit]

Nope, it's actually not at all. It's millenials trying to appeal to zoomers.

Then do it.

[cinder sleet]

How old are you?

[tall pecan]

can i still work with ward if i side with ||noontide||

[scarlet orbit]

25, I'm not a millenial

[livid frost]

scar is cool though

[clever sigil]

You get one more chance if you kill Faust down the line

[cinder sleet]

you're worse than a milennial

ah shit i guess i will have to do two separate runs, also spoiler

you're a zoomer breh don't deny your heritage

[livid frost]

you can farm artifacts from zaton all the way up to rostock and you usually get decent money from that run, i use interactive map for articfact locations

[cinder sleet]

Welp.. good news.. I may be getting off early

[toxic comet]

middle finger much

[peak eagle]

I like doing from Lesser Zone to top of Garbage for artifact hunting

[cinder sleet]

I need to start using this. I saw someone here going to work on some bloodsuckers with it. Justice was served

[wary orbit]

you lack Ammo

[peak eagle]

400000 koupons to fire Glutton, 50K to repair it

[toxic comet]

no shit it eats ammo

[wary orbit]

and the wrong kind at that

[cinder sleet]

Oh yea.. He's right. 54 it takes actually

[wary orbit]

54R

[cinder sleet]

Yup

[toxic comet]

same ammo svd uses

[livid frost]

my entire route is usually zaton, lesser, garbage, rostock, red, then sell in yanov and upgrade my stuff at the tech

[cinder sleet]

lets get some M61 in this bad boy

pain in the ass

[hot ridge]

Good tip thanks, I’ve been trying to play without looking at guides or videos but I might check some locations out

[tall pecan]

game went from 60 to 90/100 after Sirca mission

[peak eagle]

scientists in sircca trying to breach reality through your computer

[knotty spruce]

did anyone manage to counter the pseudogiant slam by jumping? or is it not a thing anymore?

[tall pecan]

Monoliths fucking my shit up, i just wanna go to Zaton and deposit my 70kg worth of shit to my stash

[peak eagle]

I have so far avoided fighting pseudogiants, tho did kill chimeras

[vast solstice]

Does spread affect the side-to-side recoil?

[knotty spruce]

i haven't fought a single giant without cheesing it with high ground but i tried to test jumping once and it didn't seem to work

[toxic comet]

ahmmm

[cinder sleet]

Get a couple pieces of bread in him. He'll be back on his feet in no time

[undone vessel]

https://youtu.be/pYYSbbZeHDc?si=wFkflOycy8SntmU2

[toxic comet]

Rats will get him

[hot ridge]

Is it worth keeping PDA’s ? Will somebody give good price for them like original game at some stage

[tacit glacier]

The pda's are just to give you info tbh
Original games had scarcely any pda's. Most of the time you just got info by opening the corpse loot menu
Read: You can sell them to anyone

[peak eagle]

Toss em or sell em

[flint narwhal]

Hi guys, the Zalissya mission is still broken? I don't see anybody in town... and the main door is locked.. i don't know what to do

[livid frost]

download ue tools from nexus and clip through the door

[tacit mortar]

||After the Ward invades Malchite, does it ever go back to having vendors active?||

[hot ridge]

So the tech guy in zalissya was lying when he said a friend was coming to town that pays good money for the pda 😭

[flint narwhal]

So sad.. Thanks man

[wary rune]

Is changing Shah's Mate caliber worth it? It looks like a really small damage increase

[wary rune]

||Yes and no. You can use a guide to spawn in Malachite and the trader is there, but you have to leave through a door near the elevator each time||

[peak eagle]

Damage increase beside, other SMGs with higher penetration will just outdo it unfortunately

[wary rune]

Sadge. I love MP5

[tall pecan]

who are these people? Freedom?

[livid frost]

just people in seva suits, loners i would guess

freedom has a camo one

[toxic comet]

Loners or bandits

[wary orbit]

why is there a bucket on the table

[toxic comet]

vomit bucket xD

or vodka shot

[hot ridge]

Alright last question about this suit at the noon hq. am I blind or is there no way in ? I’ve been walking around for 30 mins now will they just give it to me for being a friend later ? 🤝

[wary orbit]

yes

[hot ridge]

Very yes

[high forge]

you'll get it later in the story

[tall pecan]

what the hell happened to Icarus base holy shit

didnt i save those soldiers already? ||why they are all zombies||

[tribal holly]

{{did you find a certain traitor}}

oops idk if those brackets worked

[peak eagle]

Just highlight your comment and pressing the eye icon on the right

[tall pecan]

yeah

[tribal holly]

weird I thought that did it

[tall pecan]

i think?

there were device that i destroyed

[tribal holly]

there was a guy in Zaton to track down too, unsure if that has an effect

[tall pecan]

oh i dont know that

there wasnt anything about that guy, i just destroyed device

[toxic comet]

any guesses for repair price ?

[tall pecan]

the place is swarming with zombies now

[peak eagle]

like 50-60K

[wary orbit]

[hot ridge]

Everything you got bc you need upgrades as well stalker ahaha

[worthy sleet]

yo guys is anyone at Yaniv Station

[toxic comet]

F

[worthy sleet]

need to confirm if the Guide is there

[high forge]

kek

[tribal holly]

may be a specific ward quest

[peak eagle]

Lol, exo costs more to repair than to buy another one

[hearty mantle]

What is the best mod for A life in your opinion?

[tribal holly]

honestly it's better this way. Otherwise it's just vacated so enjoy your zombie fight

[high forge]

A life extended

[worthy sleet]

Shays Living zone 1.14

[high forge]

shay's living zone makes the ai retarded for some reason

[worthy sleet]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1311758650733236335

[toxic comet]

yea its same as buying new one

[worthy sleet]

cuz you havent used it it with combat overhaul +required modlets

[high forge]

damn, really?

[toxic comet]

@peak eagle and i am broke as hell

[peak eagle]

Rip

[wary orbit]

just do a couple missions for traders you'll be rich in no time

[peak eagle]

Time to downsize your suit and glutton else you ain't got shit to repair

[high forge]

imagine not using reduced repairs

[toxic comet]

no mods here mate

sold 4 arts to eggheads made 32k not broke xD

[high forge]

sdk when

[toxic comet]

any one want extra ammo xD

[peak eagle]

If you ain't gonna use that, ammo cost pretty penny selling it

[tall pecan]

any idea what it means

[wary orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/stranger-things-letters-alphabet-gif-14667940

[clever sigil]

I wonder if having longer days means less emissions

[toxic comet]

ehhh

[tribal holly]

Something like "light our souls with your light"

[abstract furnace]

what the queef

[worthy sleet]

bware longer days will break the quests lines

[solid ibex]

which ones

[wary orbit]

have not seen that to be true at all so far

[worthy sleet]

down the line i had issues the zalyssia defence and one at circa

[tall pecan]

🗣️

[tribal holly]

is there a standalone version of the Clusterfuck scope? would love that on an EMR

[worthy sleet]

yes

[peak eagle]

There is a 8x scope somewhere you can loot, don't remember where tho

[tribal holly]

noice. I'm gonna spend all my money on .308 apparently because I love the sound it makes and the heft of the gun

k'chunk

[tall pecan]

found another one

[tribal holly]

"Go To Him" I think. I have some baseline Russian so I can make out the Cyrillic and feed it into a translator

[tall pecan]

thanks

so where is our gun?

[high forge]

is this the alpha?

[toxic comet]

great and just leaving here

[toxic comet]

yes and no

[sharp pendant]

You know, if someone was to get one of those abandoned tanks running in the Zone, even with no ammo for its guns, using it as like armored transport would probably be very useful in places

Or even as like a utility or towing vehicle

[high forge]

why does ||faust have it ||

[toxic comet]

strider gave to faust

[high forge]

ngl there's an abandoned tank near ahroprom with burnt bodies that looks like a russian modern one

[sharp pendant]

I made it to Malachite before work, I saw on the map there’s like a suit hidden nearby, is it better than the pvwhatever letters freedom?

[peak eagle]

Falcon Bulat suit, best armored suit that isn't exo

You have to start far back and climb on the pipes and parkour

[wary orbit]

Vehicles in the Zone are a very risky business

[sharp pendant]

Ok, so getting that and not bothering spending coupons on upgrading my current suit after work

My question is how much affect does certain anomalies have on that thick of steel

[peak eagle]

I think it'll be ok, the Svarog had anomaly detection a decade previously, nothing saying they can't upscale it for vehicle use

[warped monolith]

idi ko mne

[royal mural]

im sorry yea thats the best to do

[tall pecan]

Guys what should i do here? ||It says find the source of signal, i found it but cant interact with it||

[twilit python]

So what is the verdict on stalker 2 from the series veterans community now that the dust has settled?

[abstract furnace]

it's aight

[warped monolith]

svarog was one-of-a-kind, no info on whether it could be replicated

[peak eagle]

well all the veles models got anomaly detection now

[sharp pendant]

Pretty good, will be better in a few patches, and is of course unfair to compare to something like Gamma

[wary orbit]

best Stalker game to date.

[tall pecan]

anyone pls, psi radiation is fucking me up

[twilit python]

Nice sounds promising then, I'll probably try it after I finish Gamma story

[royal mural]

the little monolith lamp you cant pick it up?

[peak eagle]

On the altar, at the very bottom you can turn it off

[sharp pendant]

I REALLY want a mod that makes medics sell psi block

[tall pecan]

alright i guess im blind let me check again

[sharp pendant]

Passing through like the red forest or doing anything in the swamp is really annoying otherwise

[peak eagle]

I was a bit blind on that part too, tossed a grenade at the altar as well

[peak eagle]

psi-block/vinca/hercules

[sharp pendant]

I also wish I could rebind quick melee. Also the grenade launcher swapping, just be able to take the weapon wheel out of the equation entirely

[wary orbit]

have you tried holding down switch ammo?

[sharp pendant]

No I have not

[royal mural]

for me when i hold mouse 5 i switch to GL

[royal mural]

its clunky af tho

[wary orbit]

well that is second bind to switch ammo

[royal mural]

but when i hold N for example it doesnt work for me idk

[wary orbit]

is it select firemode instead?

[royal mural]

i really dont know tbh

[clever sigil]

really?

[royal mural]

since i cant see what mouse 5 is binded to

it does nothing on its own if i just press it

[clever sigil]

should be at the bottom of the thing

[peak eagle]

I hold fire select mode for a second and it switches to Ub attachments

[tall pecan]

what gun is it

[royal mural]

ill give it a try

[clever sigil]

?

[tall pecan]

ah nevermind, yes i found it

[clever sigil]

good sadly no T-34

[tall pecan]

😔

[sharp pendant]

Quick melee not having a binding in the rebind menu perplexes me

[clever sigil]

I wonder, since Ward has vehicles in the zone.
do their cars just have anomaly detectors or something?

[royal mural]

or maybe scouted paths?

[warped monolith]

no, they just don't care

[sharp pendant]

Does Gamma even have a standard “hit them with your gun” quick melee? If I recall it just swiped the knife you had equipped, like it’s a macro to swap to knife, attack, swap back to previous weapon

[wary orbit]

you can drive anywhere in the zone if you have a foot patrol walking infront of your vehicle at all times

[clever sigil]

well in game the anomalies dont move after emissions but it was big part of the lore in CoP

[clever sigil]

ye but what about helicopters?

[royal mural]

well stalker 2 said fuck you to alot of established lore so idk

[wary orbit]

ask stingray

[warped monolith]

play CoP

[clever sigil]

i just imagine they have vales detector strapped to it

[sharp pendant]

So having a quick melee in this game is great, but having it unchangeably bound to v is baffling. I feel like maybe they just forgot to add it to the key rebind menu else I’m a dumbass and never found it whenever I looked

[wary orbit]

Flying a helicopter into the zone is a good way of earning the Darwin Award

[stoic quail]

Don’t tell that to the 6 that do it in cop

[small wraith]

this faust fight is such bs
there's no cover, constant stuns from grenades or faust.
they'll all pin you down and push when you need to reload

[wary orbit]

you do realize what happend to them yes?

[stoic quail]

Yeah 5 of them died

[sharp pendant]

I think it’s more for the sake of the environmental puzzles and the “we actually couldn’t finish the game before releasing” thing

I really do like the environmental puzzles for stashes

[stoic quail]

I like them till I open them and find 1 bread 3 shotgun shells and a bottle of beer

[tall pecan]

ah shit

they were fine before i reloaded save because i accidentally tossed granade to stalkers 😭

[wary orbit]

welp might as well start over

[tacit mortar]

FOR ANYBODY WHO DOESN'T THINK UE5 EFFECTED THE BUGS

[wary orbit]

holy fuck if watching a video in discord is the vanilla Youtube experience i am so glad i installed every adblocker under the sun FUCK me!

[small wraith]

this is so infuriating

[clever sigil]

the worst part is that even if you have premium, it does not work on discord xD

[tall pecan]

no it is not fixed :(

[wary orbit]

yeah i ment new game

[acoustic ivy]

riemann or zubr?

[tall pecan]

😭 fuck you gaffar

[peak eagle]

Yesterday try looking into a youtube video via discord, ad placement every 3 minutes lol

[warped monolith]

here we go again

[tall pecan]

MAN they properly spawned but gaffar were like you are shooting your own man skif dont show up anymore

so i reloaded the save and now they are bugged

[wary orbit]

have a autosave before the mission ?

https://tenor.com/view/it-might-be-our-only-hope-tarrick-power-rangers-dino-fury-its-our-last-hope-this-is-our-only-chance-gif-26828776

[tall pecan]

yeah i guess, in somewhere around wildisland

[warped monolith]

after seeing there's a hard limit on how many saves you can keep it just makes me even more worried
also I wish I could label my saves

[toxic comet]

new art

[wary orbit]

console players don't name their saves.

[warped monolith]

if only I were one

[wary orbit]

Microsoft does not care you are treated as one

be happy they aren't forcing you to use a controller yet

[small wraith]

ok is there a mod to limit enemy grenade usage because this is genuinely pissing me off

[warped monolith]

bitter

[small wraith]

they can just ping a grenade 20ft and have it land at my feet when they can't even see me

and if that wasn't bad enough, faust will fuckin' stun me too

[peak eagle]

500 grenata

[wary orbit]

you know thats what throwing a grenade ballistically does

[small wraith]

my point is they shouldn't know where i am

[wary orbit]

why?

[small wraith]

because i'm sneaking around

[wary orbit]

but they are engaged with you ?

[random jay]

wait but youre in the faust fight right?

thats a small rooftop, ofc they know where you are

[rain hemlock]

Hey, i was just wondering about something. What are your PC Sepcs and Resolution and what Performance do you guys get?

I know my PC is not top of the line but i am going crazy that my ryzen 5900x and 3070 struggles hard even with DLSS Performance with settings to medium/low on 2k

[small wraith]

i know, it's just infuriating, i'm either being barraged by grenades every few seconds, or being rushed by 8 of them at once, + faust stunning me (which seems to be offset by psy blockers)

[toxic comet]

game gave me 4 RPKS

[warped monolith]

damn lmao

[toxic comet]

easy money tho ammo would be better

[peak eagle]

Unload em, maybe some got ammo

[toxic comet]

already did xD

[livid haven]

the gun fukcing flew in the air, hit the roof and fell back

[clever sigil]

thats why real time cutscenes are the best

[warped monolith]

incoming repost of muaxh's video

[clever sigil]

was it in Halo where they stacked so many explosive barrels that the boss died in the cutscene it arrived?
