Yeah like the sidorovich under the map of SoC of Chernobyl that stares into your soul and kills you because he has none

[royal mural]

yea i agree

[south vigil]

when will the dlc and mod kit will be there?

the dev went full silent about road map lol

[finite needle]

Look at all the little men running

[remote eagle]

[finite needle]

Try there, they might know something https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1272487713614073886

If they don't know then sure as hell we don't know, but you can enjoy some quality no a life memes

[south vigil]

i dont know i played stalker2 120hrs already but still something missing, it just a blank world

[finite needle]

It's a main story railroady type game that happens to be produced in an industry where open world is standard, and they haven't filled it enough with secondary content for you to not notice.

[remote eagle]

yeah u mostly explore the zone and thats all

[finite needle]

Some people think that AI being more active would help, I honestly disagree becasue the game definitely lacks faction, random scripted encounters and meaningful blue quests from Rostok onwards. The fact that everything is incredibly distant because they went with the rather unfortunate (but understandable) choice of making the zone similar to the irl zone, thus repositioning stuff that used to be close, emphasizes the walking simulator experience

Quick solution would unironically be quick travel, and I'm being serious

[sleek oasis]

Pros: on your screen prekrasna dolina and it sets the mood
Cons: the Council should really decide the fate of level designer who placed brain scorcher on the western border

[remote eagle]

YES

thats what game really needs

[finite needle]

KCD has a quick travel that has a chance of being interrupted which could be fine as a solution, not sure GSC would be able to implement it correctly - the guides guarantee risk free teleportation and so on

[finite needle]

Me getting rewarded for my exploration:

[icy basin]

Honestly, pog

[finite needle]

Little hint:

tbh a 100% condition APSB is kinda worth the effort

[remote eagle]

[finite needle]

A gun to surpass Skeefa's pistol finally (I don't like the revolver too much)

[timber zenith]

If they would finally release the SDK modders could make the game into what it should be from the start, cause gsc is lame asf...

Damn lighting looks really good in those last screenshots, for me lighting looks so bad in game

[humble hedge]

Don't count on it

[split crown]

Look, I'm SORRY 😭 lmao

Also I've been playing with RTX vibrance on like the entire time I've played Stalker 2 - just turned it off last night - and I didn't realize how much damn brighter it made the game lol.

[finite needle]

Nah it's me who is humoral, I also got tired of running the Saiga. Time to visit the big river of poison in Yantar and pray to RNGesus

[remote eagle]

or go to yaniv and just buy ram

[finite needle]

Yeah that's the last ditch effort

[finite needle]

4 bloodsucker is just being silly

[remote eagle]

[finite needle]

I've trekked from Malachite to Yantar, I've killed around 12 bloodsuckers. I have just head the bloodsucker war cry once more. I let out a sigh of relief earlier when the game spawned Snorks for me to fight, but they went back to their old ways.

[remote eagle]

cause zone love to be sucked off (i guess)

[icy basin]

Taking Saiga and 80 buckshot shells just to go from A to B

[finite needle]

Gee thank you rngesus, this loot is wunderbar.

This is the dude that can spawn a rhino or a ram-2

Ah shit, this is too dark, lemme turn on the lights

Much better now

[remote eagle]

[remote eagle]

bruh are u sure that him?

[finite needle]

Seem to recall it was the spark dude in the tunnel you can enter from either truck cemetary or the southern tip of the poison river, the one that is facing the outside

either way fuck it I'm buying the thing

[remote eagle]

no u cant get him from poison river

only from cave, u loot the wrong one

[finite needle]

oh well, got my blueprint, got my artifact, I ain't going back there

[remote eagle]

[proud ruin]

[remote eagle]

bruh my stalker 2 gameplay now is death stranding: i carry ton of shit and get payed for that

encounters are optional

[icy basin]

[split crown]

literally me

[remote eagle]

[remote eagle]

i just encountered 4 man duty squad fighting bloodsucker near rostok two of them died and last guy standing said me to be careful

[uncut surge]

who use emergent zone 2 reshader, need help

[remote eagle]

@finite needle how much full upgrading of kharod cost u?

[dreamy yacht]

Gents is there any designated place to sell my artifacts? or will i get the same money for them everywhere?

same thing with the old mission pdas and notes, is there any point in hanging on to them?

[remote eagle]

dont sell shit to bartenders

only normal traders

[dreamy yacht]

@remote eagle but with them same price everywhere? its so offputting that it says 12k when its in my inv, but then i only get 4k for it from traders

[remote eagle]

yeap the same but one trader at rostok buying u shit at lower cost

BUT its only to him u can sell red weapons

this guy for red weapons sell only

bruh TC is fucking empty for how big it is

literally only saiga and blueprint

[remote eagle]

its stalker 2 chat

[north flower]

да я случайно не туда отправил

[remote eagle]

[north flower]

извинись

[remote eagle]

[finite needle]

idk, the only prices I remember are the ones for the attachments, which is like 10k each. For the Kharod itself, I suppose around 40/50k if you include the caliber change? Some of the stuff isn't really necessary, usually what you want is penetration/wear/damage, rest is bonus

I don't think Kharod has coupled mags, but extended are for sure in Zaton - they work for boththe Fora 221 and the Kharod. Attachments you'll have to buy, Holemaker is in Malachite and it works with the M701 AND GP37, grenade launcher is in Rostok.

[remote eagle]

i already got extended mag idk if i really need holemaker

[finite needle]

It's not necessary, but it's a mini saiga that doesn't have durability stat, so it's always gonna be 100%.

[remote eagle]

actually i can get it and swap from ubgl to that if my saiga goes totally broken

[finite needle]

yeah, it's more of a nice option that the Kharod has. It's kinda nice, just don't rely on it how you would on an actual saiga

[remote eagle]

lol he got stuck

i just saw 5 freedomers dying to anomaly lmao, 2 from this anomaly and 3 from electro

[finite needle]

NPCs dying to anomalies is kinda rare, unless you somehow "force" the ai to suboptimal pathing they won't get into them easily on their own.

[remote eagle]

they where fighting someone but i even didnt see who

also found another ram in yantar

and its 100% condition yo

[finite needle]

what the hell

[remote eagle]

u can get in this spot by side quest only

from malachite

[frosty elk]

any INVERNO lovers in chat? could you suggest a good reshade for it?

[remote eagle]

do stalker 2 have an inverno?

[frosty elk]

omg, wrong chat, I am so sorry

[remote eagle]

no problem king

[remote eagle]

[white musk]

anyone knows if stalker gamma can be played in co op

[remote eagle]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1029824156289732649

i hope brain scorcher gonna be important for some dlc in future, place look really cool

[finite needle]

Can't be played in co op, you have to endure your melancholic solitude in melancholic solitude

[remote eagle]

there is a lot of stalkers corpses too is that normal?

[split crown]

I've noticed the general traders that sell weapons and armor are the best bang for your buck; they offer the most money for items.

[remote eagle]

no way radar is that empty too

[wide kelp]

Hey ! Anyone has Stalker 2 and can help me ? I locked myself on a quest : didn’t show the unusual PDA to anyone and I am blocked now

[finite needle]

I wanna get out the swamps man

[remote eagle]

If you don’t show ANYONE the PDA you’d have to look for the guy named MUTE (somewhere on the sawmill) and he will help you get in

[remote eagle]

thats why u take rhino there that gun saved my ass at swamps more then i expected

[finite needle]

It's my fault, I decided to challenge the giant for the artifact. Turned out to be the rosin up top (weak endurance)

[wide kelp]

Thanks

[remote eagle]

i just snatch it and ranned from there

[wide kelp]

Actually that's not what i meant

I didn't even showed it to strider

and now I feel like I am softlocked

[finite needle]

you need to show it to strider, it's the whole point of you going there

I don't think you can avoid it

[wide kelp]

well

you can, I told him his mens were responsible withtout showing the PDA, and now I can't talk to him anymore

[remote eagle]

reload save then

[finite needle]

reload

[remote eagle]

before talking to him

CHOCOLATE

[finite needle]

Thing is, even option 2 should led you to showing him the PDA anywya

[wide kelp]

didn't happen ahah

and I can't reload, the "before" save is gone

[finite needle]

not on PC? Because the game keeps saving for you at checkpoints, plus it autosaves every so often

you should have a before

[wide kelp]

I am on PC, but now every time that I talk to strider, I get this

[wide kelp]

PLayed a bit after, felt like it wasn't that big of a deal. now my save is gone

[finite needle]

Try quit and reloading

[wide kelp]

Already did it

Ok, got a very old save

I'll try like this

about 6 h before

[finite needle]

dude how do you have 6h before save

[wide kelp]

I don't fucking know

[remote eagle]

wait u dont have any main quest ? u checked u journal?

[wide kelp]

but I have it

[wide kelp]

Got the main quest but It was bugged ; Got an old save, I'll go again

[finite needle]

Only explanation, but you sure you really don't have any other saves in the quicksave/autosave folder? Game saves every 30 minutes

I'm more concerned about that

[split crown]

I really wish they'd just kept all armors/outfits in the game helmetless so we could just mix and match said armors/outfits with any headgear we want.

Maybe except for like the egghead suits and exoskeletons

[remote eagle]

bruh u went to swamps without compass?

[finite needle]

It's just that all the good armors are the complete ones

[split crown]

You say that, but my Sunrise Suit + Condor Helmet say otherwise.

[remote eagle]

what guns u using?

[split crown]

I'm obsessed with AKs, so still using the AK-74S alongside a Dragunov and the Big Iron.

[remote eagle]

based

[split crown]

If the "Any Weapon in the Sidearm slot" didn't make it so every NPC only used their pistols, I'd still be using that mod and have a shotty in my sidearm slot.

[remote eagle]

ill put vector there goat gun

[finite needle]

Well you can always convert the Rhino to shoot buckshots OR buy Holemaker

[split crown]

I've gotten it before, but I haven't tried the vector in Sdalger 2

[remote eagle]

its good after upgrades

[finite needle]

Vector is nice, but Buket and Zubr are better

[split crown]

I tried converting the Big Iron into the buckshot meme in a previous playthrough... it seemed to just make it worse lol

[finite needle]

Yeah it's not good, but it's an option

[split crown]

idk if that's normal or if it was just heavily affected by the Better Ballistics mod I use.

[split crown]

I think how it just drains the accuracy to like 0% is what makes it so bad

[finite needle]

Honestly, the holemaker is kinda covering that niche, but it's not compatible with your choice of weapons so it's kinda meaningless to point that out.

[split crown]

What I don't understand is why it doesn't allow you to use slug ammo

haven't found the Holemaker yet, but yeah it probably won't fit on an AK even with Oxide's Armory mod.

[finite needle]

Wouldn't that just be a BFR at that point

[split crown]

BFR?

[finite needle]

Issa joke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnum_Research_BFR

[split crown]

now that's a Big Iron

Shove a scope on that beast and you'll be big game huntin' in no time

It'd be really cool if GSC adds more calibers and guns over time

...or if modders do that for them once the modding kit is released

[finite needle]

Not much to add to be honest, but more variations that are comparable to end game stuff would be nice

[split crown]

like why aren't there any AK variants that use 7.62x39mm lol

[finite needle]

I know for a fact that there used to be an AKM and Mosin Nagant in game but got cut

[split crown]

they could also add more AK variants that use 5.45x39mm of course

[finite needle]

let's not overcomplicate things now

[split crown]

Fuck really? The things I'd do to find and use a Moist Nugget in S2...

Honestly I was surprised how quickly in the game they just give you an AK with a sniper scope so early on.

[finite needle]

Never been that hard to get an AK in Stalker games, it's just GAMMA that's picky about it

[split crown]

Would have much preferred getting a bolt action rifle or something first, but alas only the Remington 700 or whatever it is exists

[split crown]

guess that's fair. Gamma really morphed/gaslit my brain into thinking certain ways about the series.

[remote eagle]

i smell dlc

[split crown]

Please GSC you know you wanna add Moist Nuggets to the game.

[remote eagle]

bro just got here from hogwarts

[finite needle]

I think they also cut the PB (Silenced Makarov), but that's about it. I'm actually ok with the AN-94 not being in game because there aren't any AN-94 in real life

just, I want battle rifles. Gimme some CZ BREN or SCAR or big boy AKs

Gimme faction wars and hunting quests

[remote eagle]

i see the skelet but where is guy himself

[split crown]

Yuuuuhhhhh. AK-12, AK-15, RPK-16 my beloved

[remote eagle]

lmgs for 5.45 and 5.56 ammo type u get a fkn lots of this ammos

[lime umbra]

the funny rifles

include an94

[remote eagle]

wait

locations now got a decriptions?

[split crown]

ayup

[split crown]

I love 'em so much.

[remote eagle]

well time to explore burned forest

[split crown]

ayy that's where I'm at right now

yenno, if it weren't for the horrid eye adaptation, this would probably be gorgeous

oh, if light shafts actually visually appeared too

[remote eagle]

looks dope ngl

[finite needle]

next week next patch btw, I wonder which way to fuck up zalissya they will find

[split crown]

Oh they announced another patch for next week?

[finite needle]

not announced, but today they said their aim was to release next patch the coming week

[split crown]

can't wait to update all my mods yet again

[remote eagle]

why they fuck zalissya?

[split crown]

I see

[finite needle]

Every patch they say the fix zalissya, but every time there's a new bug that breaks the quest

[warped monolith]

it's tradition at this point

[finite needle]

considering that Zalissya is a demo/leftover of the dynamic faction a life thingy, the fact that is so hopelessly broken lets you understand in which state a life really is.

[remote eagle]

[remote eagle]

limsa lominsa moment

honestly playing this patch brought me good experience, zero crushes so far

[finite needle]

I've had less crashes in my entire Stalker 2 gametime than I've had in GAMMA in like one week

[remote eagle]

stalker 2 > gamma

[finite needle]

I thought I was bein like brainpower 100% but you can't remove the silencer from sofmod apparently

[remote eagle]

there is one in radar

like this one

[finite needle]

Yeah whwere the 416 is right? I know about that one, just was much closer to Zaton

[remote eagle]

yeah where big dick tunnel was in SoC

its even got the same code so my old paper with this code still useful

[finite needle]

I remember that door in Stalker 2 being probably my biggest let down, all that trouble for a 416

Zaton bugs me because you either have friendly bandits or hostile bandits and the only way to know if whethery they shoot at you on sight or not

[remote eagle]

strange

i didnt got any bandits there spawned only loners and MSOP

also i dont know why but this playtrough game just bombing me with mercs like really

when i played at launch i probably killed mercs only in MSQ

now i think i killed like 100 of them

[rough moat]

yay

operator or diamond?

[remote eagle]

diamond and freedom exo are the best

operator just got unic -20% recoil to guns upgrade

[rough moat]

oh fr

[rough moat]

is it an upgrade or does it come with that

[remote eagle]

upgrade

[rough moat]

this one?

[remote eagle]

maybe even u need flashdrive for that

[remote eagle]

yeap this one

[rough moat]

it says accuracy does that affect recoil

[remote eagle]

yeah maybe its misstranslation

idk at what language tho

[rough moat]

they were so rushed they had to use translate 💔

do i give them the M scanner, or use it to go through the tunnel?

[remote eagle]

u get to pripyat either way

i gave it first time

[rough moat]

are there different consequences

[remote eagle]

im gonna check to be sure when i got one

[remote eagle]

i think no?

[rough moat]

accuracy and recoil are different upgrades for guns, so idk why it would say +20 accuracy and mean -20 recoil

[remote eagle]

people where saying that there no difference at all after doing that upgrade so i really dont know if it even works properly

lighting just striked tree near me almost skipped my heart

looks cool

[remote eagle]

i have theory about limansk dlc there was easter egg there in CS (time travel machine) what if we go to past and gonna intercept ward at cnpp to deliver monolith to SIRCAA

[spark gate]

i always wondered how time travel could tie into the zone

[remote eagle]

anomalies or c-con doing they spooky experiments

also i noticed that 2 fire poltergeists chased me through whole burned forest kinda creepy ngl

[remote eagle]

fuck burned forest if im not going broke after this one its big win

[rough moat]

go back in time to stop the zone from being created

kill stalin dlc

[spark gate]

or the regulatory board sends more loyal people back in time to make sure project x stays on course and the group never breaks off

[rough moat]

or you go back in time and kill the project x originators

[spark gate]

that too, prevent chornobyl disaster happening as well.

since project x was stationed in chornobyl due to the abandoned nature and seclusion

[rough moat]

or we just go back in time and stop the experiment from happening

[warped monolith]

go back in time and stop ourselves from stopping the experiment, Singularity style

[spark gate]

an xproject lab dedicated to the anomalous manipulation of time and space

[remote eagle]

Wait da faq why i got red reputation with ecos

[spark gate]

malachite faction?

that still happens?

[tall swan]

Love it

[rough moat]

is it supposed to happen when you pick a side?

how do i get O.X.A. NVGs

[remote eagle]

-50k for repairs

[rough moat]

also, how do i tell if my artefact is giving me rads

[remote eagle]

rad icon gonna shake

[rough moat]

got lead containers and its not shaking am i good for now

[remote eagle]

should've start with that those containers negate ALL radiation from artefacts

people tell me that D4 contract is done

[rough moat]

ohh

so the 2 with the green produce 0 rads?

but the rest will produce rads?

also doe bleed resist lower the chance, or stop the bleeding

[remote eagle]

stops bleeding

[remote eagle]

yes if u dont counter them with weird water or anti rad artefacts(best anti rad artefact is from chimal anomaliest)

spent 80k to upgrade that boy

[rough moat]

is this one any good

i spent like half an hour trying to find the operator one WITH a guide, and ive found 2 now just by searching stashes

[remote eagle]

not freedom and monolith exos are the best one u can sell that

[frail mason]

gotta ask cause to me stalker 2 was ehh compared to gamma that is 🤣 is gamma coming to stalker 2 in the future?

[remote eagle]

never

[rough moat]

mercs are my favorite in gamma so i want to run merc gear in s2

[remote eagle]

run whatever u like honestly=)

some exos just slightly better then others

[lime umbra]

the top 3 exos the diamon / freedom /duty are pretty much the same with diamon being the clear best

[remote eagle]

u cant run in duty one tho

[lime umbra]

no the other one

shield of duty exo

[remote eagle]

yes and thats a duty exo

National-produced version of an exoskeleton, procured by Duty.

[lime umbra]

they have 2

[remote eagle]

yeap both are shit

[lime umbra]

even on the cuir you can cap out the resistances

artifacts are just that silly on the boosts

tho diamon has 4 lead slots which is just beyond silly

[remote eagle]

yeah thats too funny

4 compass build

or 4 thunder berry i wonder do u get infinite sprint with that

[lime umbra]

1 think with 1 you cap out the stam bonus

[remote eagle]

oh there is cap for stamina bonus

[lime umbra]

theres a cap for all stats

[remote eagle]

[remote eagle]

https://tenor.com/view/glorp-glerp-gif-13340993633906114853

[lime umbra]

getting bullet res maxed out is like a must with how stupid the last section of the game is

[remote eagle]

always has been

[lime umbra]

[remote eagle]

my falcon got full bar of phys res

and i got compass too

maybe im gonna be okay idk, im on main quest in Mirror facility rn

[lime umbra]

kinda going to the end

[remote eagle]

i max upgraded most of weapon roaster ingame only kharod and PKM glutton left i think

oh i didnt got Dnipro and Texas gun too bruh

[rough moat]

what artefact do i go for for physical protection

why dont they install a veles detector into their exos? are they stupid?

[remote eagle]

u need only compass

i got one at kordon near rookie village

also u can get ball from bulba anomaly

[rough moat]

what anomaly type is it

[cursive egret]

I never needed to find a strong or max phys protection artifact, I just bought bulat armor from rostok + flower bud and i hit the phys protection cap

[remote eagle]

gravitation one

[cursive egret]

You can find a bulat for free in a single spot in the world too, but good luck trying to find that without spoilers

[rough moat]

unload button from dropped guns gotta be top 5 features OAT

[remote eagle]

AW ikr

[rough moat]

how much protection does bulat have

[remote eagle]

bro u already got diamond exo

[rough moat]

yeah thats why im asking

what other protection would i need though

[cursive egret]

Yeah then you don't need a compass to hit the phys protecvtion cap

[rough moat]

i have so many meds i can outheal any anomaly

[remote eagle]

weird bolt against anomalies

kek

[cursive egret]

Compass is a lot more useful if you have early-midgame armor. When you have 4 or 5 bar armor a flower bud is probably enough. that gives medium phys protection + medium endurance

[rough moat]

i tried getting it i dont wanna deal w the hassle

are there any stamina artefacts like battery

[remote eagle]

flower bud is that blue flower or other one

[rough moat]

cool

[remote eagle]

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

[rough moat]

what does this mean

[cursive egret]

BTW you can easily test how much phys protection you can have with those circular gravitational anomalies, like on the bridge between lesser zone and garbage

[remote eagle]

hahhaha its funny one artefact

i called it amogus

u know why soon enough

[rough moat]

i see now

[remote eagle]

[rough moat]

do i have to grab them all or do they just keep spawning

[remote eagle]

i dont remember really

[rough moat]

also what heals psy

[remote eagle]

psy pills

[latent ruin]

Hate to say it gamma is way better than stalker 2

[cursive egret]

Gamma's gunplay and performance is better, but its quests are way worse, main story is almost nonexistent, map is not open world

[remote eagle]

u forgot about consistent crushes

[cursive egret]

I can't speak about that because i've been lucky enough to have almost no crashes in both games

[remote eagle]

0 crushes in stalker 2

1 hour of playing gamma always a crush

[cursive egret]

I got 2 so far in S2 in about 60 hours, but that's with some mods

[rough moat]

huh

[remote eagle]

LMAO

[cursive egret]

in gamma, 4 or 5 in about the same amount of time, but not really enough for me to care

[rough moat]

i cant even finish the quest bruh

[cursive egret]

They do get a bit quirky at night

[rough moat]

they dont shoot but i cant kill them

can i get them to follow me outside?

[warped monolith]

it's a bandit who was leaning against a wall in the darkness, who's now unholstering an AKS-74u
pull out my Big Iron and hip-fire dome him

Huh, I guess there can be some actual light shafts in-game.

[split crown]

I've been trying a different Engine.ini recently, and i've noticed my inventory will get kinda laggy when scrolling up and down - to the point where my game will just freeze. So while it's frozen, I'll alt tab, check task manager, and lo and behold Sdalger 2 is using 99%-100% of my RAM lmfao.

not VRAM, but actual hardware RAM - all 64 gigs of it.

[finite needle]

Gee a whole ass Mac 10, that was worth navigating electro anomalies and doing jumps over the void for

World's most pleasant place

I've found like 4 steaks, 2 chocolate bars and 2 tourist's breakfasts anomalies. Game is telling me something.

i bet that gonna happen

i played OLR where alife is at max, was that good? NOPE

quest npc love to fkn die everytime

and u never fkn know about it

[golden hazel]

Did you mean Stalker: Clear Sky

[remote eagle]

no im talking about Oblivion lost remake

[golden hazel]

I know, but it happened in CS Sky too

[remote eagle]

where npc can stole quest items

good fkn luck finding them after that

Duty on the way to become the hegemon of the Zone the instant you decide to side with Freedom

[remote eagle]

but what was funny that some npcs had a real purpose in zone some come there to kill a men(if they did that they literally disappeared after that )

and some go there to get rich(they was looting literally every shit) and they where walking lootboxes

[finite needle]

Ah yeah that was also a thing in Gamma for a hot minute, then Grok "fixed" it

[remote eagle]

idk i stil find some people in gamma with 10+ guns in their pants

[finite needle]

honest I haven't played GAMMA ever since Grok decided hobo phase was to be as long as the average lifespan of a Stalker in the zone irl

[remote eagle]

true u can get to BS day 1 and complete it if u not doin invictus

[golden hazel]

U can get to BS day 1 and complete if u doin invictus

[finite needle]

A lot of choices made in GAMMA really drove me away, Stalker 2 does scratch that Stalker itch for me atm. GAMMA still has that issue where the moment you craft an Exoskeleton and can run a fully repaired battle rifle or 9x39 gun, the game is fundamentally over, and even then all you do is spam tasks up north to get expert tools and the exo recipe drop. Zaton, Outskirts, Yanov and so on

[remote eagle]

yeah but u need to get really lucky

[finite needle]

You could get expert tools day one if you were lucky before

[golden hazel]

[remote eagle]

i was farming it 5 whole ingame days without sleep

other times literally 1 gold stash that dropped from monolith in radar

[finite needle]

I remember one time ready set go, get stash in garbage, open it, it's advanced tools. It was possibly like 2 to 3 hours of ingame time, still my record.

Back when you could get tools from white stashes, mind you

[golden hazel]

My record is 15 minutes

Also from when tools could spawn in white stashes

what da spartan helmet from metro exodus doing here

[split crown]

Guessing it was added in through the Extended Equipment mod I have. It's got better stats than an Exo Helm lol

hence why I probably won't even bother using any exoskeletons whenever I find any; this helm + sunrise suit are more than likely better stats

[remote eagle]

gonna try that mod in next playtrough

[split crown]

I highly recommend it

[remote eagle]

Any more others mods?

[split crown]

well if you grab that one, you'll wanna pair his Technician mod along with it so you can trade with them and so the items from Extended Equipment spawn in their inventories. Also really recommend Oxide's Expanded Armory.

There's already a whole buncha neat & interesting mods to check out on the Stalker 2 nexus; just look around on there for a bit to see what you like.

[remote eagle]

id take glutton boy for granite pounding for sure

[split crown]

very cool and epic Sdalger

still dunno why it's doing this. Game will stutter when i'm in my inventory to the point where the whole game just freezes, then it just starts eating literally all my RAM

Are you really even playing STALKER if you aren't being an absolute loot goblin?

he's probably fine

[remote eagle]

loot goblin? im looting their goblins alright

[finite needle]

Have you ever traded with Ashot in Yaniv? Because he does that thing every time due to the stupid amount of shit he sells

Now GAMMA crashes and then it fixes itself, I have no clue what causes Stalker 2 to do it

[split crown]

I haven't

[finite needle]

Of course I mean GAMMA

[split crown]

I'm just assuming it's due to all the shit I lug around in my inventory.

[finite needle]

You're not the first to have reported inventory memory leaks. Didn't happen to me, but I've never used any mods because GSC is releasing like a patch every 2 weeks or so, so it's kinda pointless for now.

Btw I'm restarting my ward run because apparently the only pro ward thing I did the whole playthrough was showing the PDA to Dalin in the trash heap

[split crown]

Well, I recently changed up the Engine.ini I'm using, but I'm not sure if it'd be a cause or not.

[split crown]

I wanna like the ward, but I don't give a shit about SIRCAA

[finite needle]

Yeah I can't bring myself to like the ward. I'd rather join duty if I want to cosplay a cop

[split crown]

Real.

If only GSC remembered to make Duty and Freedom real factions in Sdalger 2

[finite needle]

For real the things I want the most is more Duty/Freedom content. They're just there because they couldn't get rid of them completely, feels like. Gave them 2/3 quests and somehow Duty have more content than Freedom, despite Freedom having Rostok.

Plus the shift to Freedom into the guys that invented capitalism is not completely unexpected, but I was expecting a little more pushback

[split crown]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I just wanna kill muties for Duty like the good ol days

[finite needle]

I mean you can get the AI generated quest to kill mutants once per day at the cemnt factory

anyway my point is, whoever designed Sircaa and didn't think about placing a chest or a mechanic inside needs to get beaten

[remote eagle]

i even didnt know that duty exist in my first playtrough lol

[undone summit]

I didn't even know they had an procedural generated quest for duty

Then again, given you can only take 1 quest per trader, didn't bother

[finite needle]

tbh the real issue is that they spawn in such a way they will ALWAYS catch you with your pants down, unaware and without cover.

Open world fights against NPCs are fundamentally unfun because of this condition. There's no planning involved, enemies spawn and will look for you specifically and spot/aggro you no matter what, unless they spawn to fight other stuff. It's not very fun.

LEBEDEV ALWAYS HAD A 6 LEVEL PSY PROTECTION

[golden hazel]

But I never found any document talking about clear sky members becoming c-con agents from the Strelok raid, so I don't think he survived

what if they twin brothers?

Nah, Kalancha's head is like 3 skifs

[remote eagle]

It's just cut off at the top

[finite needle]

inb4 Clear Sky is now in Limansk

[remote eagle]

i wonder how good clear sky armor gonna be and at what point u can start dlc

[golden hazel]

It all adds up with the mini brain scorcher being made there in the og trilogy

And the radio near the bridge

[remote eagle]

[finite needle]

It would also be a decent excuse to add new Clear Sky themed armor just for the DLC. Dunno if they would add new weapons

[remote eagle]

they probably can

[finite needle]

OR a new faction because Clear Sky is dead and should stay dead

[remote eagle]

like FN2000

[golden hazel]

They ain't dead though

[remote eagle]

yes

[golden hazel]

But also they're barely alive

[remote eagle]

Kalancha alive

and Nimble alive and well too

[finite needle]

Nimble still sporting Clear Sky colors hmm

I would really like to see the FN2000 again, but dunno if they will add it. Would be sick, is the only old school weapon that I miss.

[golden hazel]

I want the an94 back

[remote eagle]

and this gun can be in limansk too

like an rusty old version of it since CS game

[finite needle]

And it was like in the openest of battlefields, like where do I even run?

Now, I managed to kill them all but still, doesn't feel that nice

and in exact same place too

[golden hazel]

Love when that happens and it saves just as it does

[finite needle]

I love how you just accepted your fate

[remote eagle]

not so FRIENDLY i assume

[golden hazel]

It's cause I had already died before after killing 16 of them and more spawned right after and finished me off

It was the "god fucking shit damnit cyka blyat I have to load an older save" kind of acceptance

[finite needle]

Truly a stalker moment this

[remote eagle]

damn thats really sucks what is this location

[golden hazel]

The factory where you go into the x lab to meet

[remote eagle]

X-18 in Garbage?

[golden hazel]

Byeah

[remote eagle]

yeah that a shit place

a lot of ward there

[golden hazel]

I killed all of them before I entered btw

Then the emission happened and spawned 1 trillion for some reason

||I mean, there were the notes + Lebedev's PDA at the Clear Sky base suggesting they were in contact with the C-Con... so...||

[golden hazel]

Yes they collab'd but I'm talking POST clear sky

There's no documents about after

[split crown]

still makes me extremely sus of Clear Sky members now - especially Lebedev. Shady mfs

[split crown]

do mercs even have a central base anymore? I just see random squads of them here and there

[split crown]

this is the most Sdalger 2 momento of all time

[clever pawn]

Still right after all this time

[proud ruin]

Fixing alife is good and all but the game suffers from a chronic lack of content

There’s what like 2 or 3 things to do in rostok and nothing in yanov

[west moth]

Yeah from what i read there is a lot to do, not just A-life

Game's a Beta it seems

[proud ruin]

there’s a lot to do in lesser zone then as the game progresses there’s less and less

[split crown]

actually yeah. It's kinda crazy how there's a decent amount of content in both the Lesser Zone and Garbage, but then it all steadily dwindles away the further you delve into the zone.

[finite needle]

Zaton also has some cool stuff, but it's mostly tucked away or hidden behind your faction picks.

I found out like yesterday about the loners kept prisoner by two bandit gangs, in which you have to climb a building and navigate anomalies on the roof to recover the keys (and coupled AK mags)

but apart from that, I still can't believe Yaniv has like 0 secondary quests except the radiant AI daily quests.

[split crown]

yeah I remember that, and I also remember the one loner that asks you to save them had a blue side quest marker on him; however, no matter what I tried, there was nothing more I could do for him lol. He'd just tell me to leave him alone each time I tried talking to him after saving his sorry ass

[finite needle]

I got emission before going to Zalissya, it's joever

[left fog]

Hello, I can’t put down this game! Been playing a lot and I really love it!!

My only issue is how enemies can see you and shoot you accurately while you are behind thick vegetation!

[lime umbra]

just for clarity

you talking stalker 2 correct ?

[left fog]

Yea

[lime umbra]

ok then yeah grass is pointless in most games

[left fog]

I think Arma games have concealment working properly

[finite needle]

I stand corrected, Zalissya trigger works despite the emission

Aww the corpses here have been nerfed, they now only contain random trash loot instead of all their original gear

TWO PSYDOGS

[lime umbra]

nah fuck that shit just run away

[finite needle]

I sniped some monos up the hill and the spotter in Zalissya pointed that out, kinda neat tbh

I kinda have hopes now that I didn't have to perform satanic rituals in order to make the quest start

Now, the fact that psydogs can spawn in couples is not nice and needs to be addressed

[split plank]

Not if you have some grenades. Drop one and run to take a cover, it explodes and kills real one of psydogs.

If you don't have a single grenade, run away.

[lime umbra]

dogs arent that fast anyways

[finite needle]

Anyway, I remebered I had a semi auto shotgun and started blasting.

It's not stupid if it works

[split plank]

I could do that both and survived

[finite needle]

Just glad the doors were open for me

Now, I'm sure there would be some shenanigans to avoid the perfect happy Zalissya ending for sure, but I'm glad the start trigger was not broken because that was the point in which I would have quit the game until they fixed it. Idk, just would have istantly lost interest in the game.

Now, since it works, I'll never fucking play KCD until I complete Stalker 2 again (this time fuck everything ending)

[split plank]

Imagine if the door suddenly shuts when you approach it.

[finite needle]

The thought never leaves me I gotta admit

[golden hazel]

Oppa gangnam style

[finite needle]

I'm actually debating whether to upgrade the Seva I over the Falcon because I can get a lead container and a compass on the Seva, hmm

[golden hazel]

MORE SPRITE CONTAINERS FOR YOUR SPRITE SUIT SKEEFA

[finite needle]

Technically I can reach 5 bars of defence on a cheaper suit, and then switch to the falcon when I can get the leaded containers there, idk.

[golden hazel]

THE CONTAINER SKEEFA

MORE COPPER WIFE SKEEFA

[lime umbra]

you know whats the funniest lore bit of Zalissya

the fact that they are very upfront on saying the freedom barrier didnt do jack shit

[golden hazel]

Zalissya has fallen, millions have died

[outer depot]

Upgraded SEVA-I does the job, beat the game using it on one run

You won’t be a walking tank quite as much as the falcon makes you but it’s decent

Personally I like the SEVA-V though just for looks even if it is flat out worse

Unironically, Sprite has the best armor. Seva I and Falcon are the best early game armor.

Holy Memory Leak. I was at over 45GB of RAM Usage.

[odd fjord]

was it someone here that said zulu is not in game

but mentioned?

[remote eagle]

u can even get reward from him if quest npc is dead

[odd fjord]

what?

[remote eagle]

he sais via radiosignal or smh like ty for helping my squad killing those bandits shame my men are dead

BUT ONLY if quest npc which u get that quest from is dead before u kill those bandits

[remote eagle]

he says something like: Some people tell that there no people which u can replace with other. i say thats wrong. i cant replace my dead sergeant,there is no people like him; thank you for help stalker,duty wont forget that help

[warped monolith]

don't you FUCKING diss Doom in front of me ever again

[odd fjord]

do you know the name?

and did you see the stuff i send before

[remote eagle]

its duty quest to the south of their base

le me check

Help Duty take over a Bandit camp

[odd fjord]

what a joke of a quest

infuriating

[split crown]

Yeah I've been getting that a lot lately lmao

[split crown]

You're not even all that wrong tbh. Factions feel so damn gimmicky right now as they currently are in Sdalger 2. Wish GSC played more into each one to give them more life and fulfillment within the zone.

[odd fjord]

fun fact time

did you know that originally the plan was to unlock hubs based on quests you do for important faction characters? during these quests you would find the motives of each faction

[split crown]

[odd fjord]

for the scientist you needed to escort them to and artefact area and cover them while they did their job

for duty you had to get rid of bandits south of the base

[remote eagle]

yes

[odd fjord]

for freedom you had to hunt mutants (hence the trader there)

richter would introduce you to loners so all loner hubs would be accessible

that is also one of the reasons scars meetingplace is next to rostok

since originally players might not have done freedom hub unlock

[split crown]

I've seen talk of this "mutant" trader at Rostok; however, I've only seen an empty stall where I think he should be next to the armor trader and Eugene or whatever his name is. Is that how it's supposed to be?

[split crown]

what the hell happened to all these "unlocking" features lmao

[odd fjord]

no freedom originally has a whole building dedicated to mutants

[split crown]

[odd fjord]

it got scraped and replaced with trader and that got scraped

[split crown]

https://tenor.com/view/where-you-at-gif-21177622

[odd fjord]

it was supposed to be a unique bar with the trader there and the mutant collectibles on the wall in the bar

[split crown]

Man what didn't they scrap

[odd fjord]

the ai

im not even kidding, the ai in the dev build is identical logic as to release

whereas parts of map, quests, items, encounters, lore etc is scrapped

bonus fun fact

[odd fjord]

after said quest and unlock of hub you would receive a quest to visit the faction leader

this is where you could talk to him about faction info and this is also the reason one of the tooltips says visit the leader, the leader was supposed to be marked like a trader at all times

[split crown]

[split crown]

what

[odd fjord]

there was even plans to introduce a ratwolf

[split crown]

I mean that'd be really fuckin' cool, but no I didn't know

GSC what happened

[odd fjord]

also a bear mutant

think it was pseudobear not sure

[split crown]

That sounds badass. Probably woulda been reminiscent of the bear from Metro (I think there's a bear mutant in one of the Metro games?)

Hey guys, so I wanted to know what is the best cheat menu for stalker 2?
I am developing a mod for stalker anomaly and I need some references from stalker 2
I would be really appreciated if you guys give me a name for the best menu
Thanks

[odd fjord]

cheatmenu?

[heavy ravine]

Command or something similar to anomaly debug

[odd fjord]

we got uetools

[heavy ravine]

Can you navigate me to the tools I need please?
I just need two options
Weather changing and free camera

Appreciated your help

np maN

[spark gate]

Itd make more sense if the hubs had certain areas that are restricted from the player unless they get some sort of recognition and positive reputation

But nope waltz in every area like you own the damn joint

[spark gate]

It still is in the map legend iirc they just either forgot to take it out or never gave faction leaders any substance besides, whats new in the zone?

[finite needle]

I kinda expect being able to get into rostok tbh

A bit surprised I could walk through the whole ass duty base without any repercussion or pre requisite though.

[undone summit]

Duty's fallen so far, they don't tell stalkers to buzz off and let every loser through

[split crown]

Duty doesn't even hunt muties anymore

[finite needle]

When I meet the random Duty squad spawn, they're either fighting muties or monolith

[finite needle]

idk what the point of the faction leaders is in game, they just stand there

[remote eagle]

yeap happend to me alot in yantar too

[finite needle]

btw zalyssia is still kind of fucked (Hamster somehow died again), but at least now I can complete the quest as it triggers correctly

[spark gate]

Rostok i can understand since freedom turbed the joint into a gian hub for commerce and entertainment

[finite needle]

Finally, sporting my true colors

[spark gate]

But like duty base b like, waltz on in

[finite needle]

ngl even I find that a tad silly, especially considering ecos have some sort of barrier of entry

DUTY of all people letting you in like that doesn't fit right with me

[spark gate]

Yeah, i remember in SOC duty wouldnt you waltz in rostok after some time

[finite needle]

Now that I think about it, the only faction that lets you in without any problem is Duty, even corps put some limits on what you can do

[spark gate]

Ecos wont let you waltz in unless you have the badge, permit, or a special permit made up of 2000 dolleridoos

[finite needle]

Freedom doesn't give a fuck but that's freedom, I mean

it's expected

Noontide won't let you close unless you have main story reason, so it's just Duty now that I think about it

[spark gate]

Man uk what i hate

After arena colliseum, it just ends

[finite needle]

I hate more that you don't have anything else to do in Rostok, I'm fine with coliseum ending

After the psidog with a sawed off and chimera with a Dnipro I'm good, thank you

[spark gate]

It be dope to like either continue fighting randoms at times. Or even spectate a fight and bet on a fight

Itd be funny to see a mutant vs mutant fight in the arena

[humble hedge]

That's actually a good point Monke. Rostok should be filled with stuff to do. But there's nothing.

The game is empty, soulless and has not a life.

[spark gate]

Freedom turned rostok into a minimall of sorts

[finite needle]

I mean, you can explore. It's anything but soulless, I feel they thought nostalgia and souldfullness "immersion" could carry a game with nothing but a main story

[finite needle]

I love how freedom invented capitalism and free market

[humble hedge]

[humble hedge]

You can explore yes, but I disagree. It is soulless. Rostok, and the rest of the zone. Mainly due to the lack of a life ofc

[spark gate]

And introduced crypto into the zone

Wait for some bandit to do a rugpull scam on some hapless loner

[finite needle]

That's just Myklukha

[west moth]

I hope S2 will be the game it should be one day

[undone summit]

He starts out thinking he's cool but later progresses to suspicion/skepticism. It's how he progresses to being just on Skif's (and the Zone's) side

[finite needle]

Same. I will not hide that I thought about the shining zone as a metaphor, mfw was thinking of FFX

[undone summit]

"Hold on bro there's a mutant on your head"

[full minnow]

hello guys for those of you who play with mods from nexus and using vortex collections.. what collections do you use and do they work with the current game version of stalker 2? There's 44 collections

[finite needle]

I play vanilla because I am a coward (and because there's a big patch every month or so)

[remote eagle]

i try playing with mods after next patch

[split crown]

still wondering why this dude shows up as a side quest activity when he's hostile towards you no matter what

[split crown]

I just manually select which mods I wanna play with. Most mods still work with each consecutive patch; however, modders who maintain their mods usually put out updates for their mods whenever new game patches do drop.

[undone summit]

At this point "activity" means unique encounter, not "side quest"

Thank you, sorry

[warm mauve]

In stalker 2 when I get in a gun fight does that attract mutants or are they randomly spawning?

[remote eagle]

random most likely

[golden hazel]

Opening some stashes definitely spawns mutants

[remote eagle]

[odd fjord]

on vanilla?

all spawns are attracted to you

[warm mauve]

So if I get in a shootout the nearest mutants will come to the place it happened

[split crown]

Actually would be neat if gunfights attracted mutants. Cool feature that GSC will never implement I'd wager lmao

no

it doesnt matter if you are shooting or standing still they will all pass you and as a result spot you

@hushed garden You'll need to change the date in this mod: G.A.M.M.A. Alife optimization.

To quickly reach the folder:

1. Open your MO2
2. Search the mod using the "filter" option you can find on the bottom
3. Search the mod, right click on it, "open in Explorer"
4. Go inside here: gamedata/configs/alife.ltx and change the date with 26/10/2018

anyone got a weapon drop with attachments from a dead stalker?

first time this happened and this isn't a special weapon either. it's just says the aks74u and I picked it up from a dead stalker (I think it was zombified). I don't think any mods I have are causing this too

[remote eagle]

yoo

u can now get veles for main story nice

that was worth it

hey sorry to bother anyone but when i click install / update Gamma and then run the game it says that there's 518 mods installed instead of 508. anybody know how to fix?

Apparently patch 1.3 of stralker will have squirrels. It's a life I suppose

as random wildlife critters, like frogs and such?

To be fair they're also gonna move gear that was point of no return exclusive out of it and into the world and that got me moderately excited

[golden hazel]

Sometimes items don't spawn in

[warped monolith]

I'm guessing loose loot like that can end up clipping into terrain or not spawning correctly

[golden hazel]

No it just straight up doesn't spawn
