[north turret]

Thanks

[brisk zinc]

You're welcome

Did you get some artefacts?

Apart these

[north turret]

They don't give radiation

[brisk zinc]

I know, that's why I'm asking if you've taken more

I'm not that stupid

[north turret]

Just what is shown in my screenshot

[bleak egret]

show us your body health HUD

[bleak egret]

limbs and whatnot

are you running?

your legs are fucked m8

[north turret]

im standing still

and taking rads

[bleak egret]

well, you have rads, for one

you might have an artifact in an inapporpriate container

might not be blocking all rads

ergo 23 rad artifact in a 7 blocking container

[brisk zinc]

That was another question as well

Maybe those containers aren't "strong" enough

[hazy ridge]

that look like meatchunk

[brisk zinc]

He also have this

[tidal raft]

Maybe he picked up the electra.

[brisk zinc]

My first question basically

But he's "saying" that he didn't

What he have in the inventory is what he have

[north turret]

I cannot imagine what is giving me rads

https://i.imgur.com/SMNZk9y.png

[hazy ridge]

invisible artifact bug from previous patch?

[north turret]

I've even moved them into new containers

[bleak egret]

could be the legendary blue electra indeed

[north turret]

To block all the "effects"

[tidal raft]

Dump inventory into a stash and see if it stops.

[hazy ridge]

if its not then he have that bug

hmm

newest update?

[north turret]

Yup

[hazy ridge]

still getting rad after put them all to stash?
might want to reload the save

[north turret]

Still am yeah

[brisk zinc]

It could really be the electra then

That's why I asked if you took other artifacts as well

[north turret]

I have not

Just what's in the screenshot

[brisk zinc]

I'll rephrase the question then, do you happen to remember getting an Electra?

[north turret]

Never

[tidal raft]

The in-game name is Flash, but like I suggested:
Dump the inventory into a stash and see if you stop receiving radiation sickness.

[north turret]

I tried that

Stumped

[tidal raft]

And you're in Cordon?

[north turret]

Yup

[hazy ridge]

sound weird indeed
usually reload the save will fix the problem

[north turret]

I could reload a good hour or two back, but still a weird problem

[bleak egret]

where are you in game btw

[north turret]

Just sucks I gotta reset my progress

[bleak egret]

if you are in CNPP with a sphere helm, you are gonna get rads

[tidal raft]

Reload a save. You've probably picked up the Flash unconsciously.

[bleak egret]

oic cordon

[north turret]

Didn't go into any anomalies, just looted some bandits with those 2 artefacts

Goldfish and Stone Blood

And since then I've been getting rads

[hazy ridge]

idt any sleep area near the radiation source tho

[north turret]

But ignored it for a good hour before sleeping and then dying

[tidal raft]

Maybe the Bandit picked it up..

[hazy ridge]

amazing zone indeed

[bleak egret]

a life

so much wow

[north turret]

So if I'm unlucky enough to loot a bandit that looted an invisible artefact I can pick it up and get rad bugged?

[bleak egret]

well, did you hit LOOT ALL

[north turret]

Nooooo

I'm not trying to get over encumbered

Fatso had like 15 shotguns on him for some reason

[solid ginkgo]

tell me where to find calibration tools

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq message

[bleak egret]

red forest stashes and north of there

falco you made a faq for that lmao

[brisk zinc]

Already sent the link for it

[hazy ridge]

alright regardless
at this point i would just make a new save and use debug to respawn my gear
too hassle to fix something you dont know

[north turret]

Yeah I'm gonna have to

It's alright tho

[brisk zinc]

He was a trader or a technician probably

[tidal raft]

fatso
Unless he shot Sidorovich or something.

[bleak egret]

[brisk zinc]

I don't think Sidorovich can be killed (right?)

[north turret]

in my inventory

[hazy ridge]

wow

[brisk zinc]

Told you

[hazy ridge]

just X ray thing

[north turret]

i ate a combat ration

[hazy ridge]

[north turret]

and boom

i started getting rads

and i had a fucking flash equipped after

[tidal raft]

Gee golly wizz.

[bleak egret]

lol

[hazy ridge]

anyway at least everything is solved now
da zone strike again

[north turret]

talk about free toy in my cereal box

[bleak egret]

combat ration animation saves the day!

[north turret]

wtf

amazing bugs

gotta love stalker

[bleak egret]

well, at least the bug is fixed with the last update

[hazy ridge]

[primal condor]

is it a feature or a bug that guides will not bring u anywhere at night?

[chilly nebula]

Did i see right and "Stealth" isn´t in MCM Menu anymore?

It got the "red flag" in MO2, but version numbers are the same

[bleak egret]

maybe it is in MCM but its living up to its name

[brisk zinc]

You're missing the mod then

[quiet rock]

how did you get rid of it?

[hidden bloom]

no, he can't. he's not even an npc in the engine, he's just an object. same with forester

[north turret]

I ate a combat ration and the invisible artefact revealed itself

[chilly nebula]

[quiet rock]

that i read, but could you remove the Flash?

iirc you get infinite rads even after you drop it

[north turret]

I dropped it just fine

No rads after

Ukrainian cuisine shielded me from such rays

[quiet rock]

oh nice

[chilly nebula]

works again. just use the features of MO2!

[fresh merlin]

I don't see agressor grounds in MO2 but people keep talking about it

what was it and did it get removed

[graceful iron]

yes that is "aggressor grounds"

[fresh merlin]

ok. so it's not the whole reshade but just grounds texture?

[graceful iron]

yes

[brisk zinc]

It's like a pack from what I remember

[graceful iron]

gamma only used to have the ground from it, now its replaced by the new textures

[near latch]

I just updated the pack and now equipping items is instant, there's no delay as if I was putting them on. Any idea what setting switched off?

[graceful iron]

the head shake when equipping armors and backpacks ? its item animations and you can press ] to enable them or go to settings and enable item animations

[brisk zinc]

No more animations

[fresh merlin]

FDDAs in the MCM and item animation in settings . play around if you want them all back

[brisk zinc]

(it's + in keybinds, just wanted to let you know )

[graceful iron]

item equip is not fdda

[brisk zinc]

It's also that

It's not only FDDA

And + isn't FDDA

[graceful iron]

wtf ?

[brisk zinc]

It's in settings > keybinds

You have the game open

Look for yourself

[hoary veldt]

Wait what

[graceful iron]

item equip animations are base anomaly

only

[hoary veldt]

Item animations is ] isn't it

[brisk zinc]

Yes, it's "+" on keyboard (it's also "]", yes, same button, but in keybinds it's "+")

[hoary veldt]

[near latch]

Weird, animations were enabled

[hoary veldt]

[fresh merlin]

anyone using the autumn redux grok recommended in #custom-textures ?

any bugs or weird graphical problems I should know about ?

[bleak egret]

isnt the autumn thing built in now?

yeah its stock now, it works great

[fresh merlin]

you mean this is stock? (from the moddb page)

AUTUMN SEASON REDUX by Fabio.Conte

[bleak egret]

well if you want it more... uh. autumny with that mod head over to #🔨modded-gamma-support

[queen torrent]

hey guys!
ive just installed Gamma and started my very first bandit playthrough, ive just arrived at the abandoned farmstead and the xenotech there is running around like a main character killing everyone and just refuses to die even after multiple shotgun blasts to the dome and chest

there anything to be done about that or should i just avoid that location entirely lol

[bleak egret]

you using buckshot?

[queen torrent]

i think so... i guess it matters that my recently finished playthrough was just regular vanilla anomaly with only slight addons

the starting rounds you get with the double barrelled shotgun :D

[bleak egret]

#│📚manual you needa learn about bullet pen and armor

[fresh merlin]

shotgun blasts to the dome and chest
This is futile. Armor in this game means if you don't pass the BR penetration check, you deal like no damage. It's much more different than other games.

[queen torrent]

ohhhhhhh

[undone viper]

Is it unusual for a faction to take over a spot? Bandits have removed all the loners except the traders at the northern farm.

[bleak egret]

VERY common

[queen torrent]

holy fuck, im sorry for the stupid question then guys. Imma read up about all the changes on the manual

[fresh merlin]

which is why the starting SKS rifle is so good. it kills everyone in one headshot. despite the cost being 900

[brisk zinc]

You have the #│📚manual on your PDA as well, don't worry for the question

[undone viper]

Thank you

[fresh merlin]

the SKS is shit against mutants tho

[bleak egret]

np, also note that xenotech is invincible to non-player deaths. he WILL roll around there killing all enemies

[undone viper]

Awesome, I can't wait to see that

[queen torrent]

guess im starting over lol, im so used to this long double barrel shotgun to just be a powerhouse halfway through the entire game :D

[bleak egret]

it still is

use slugs or ap slugs

[fresh merlin]

you need slugs at least

[bleak egret]

its about the ammo

[fresh merlin]

I think you need supply level 2 to buy slugs though

[queen torrent]

ah ... so a little like tarkov but in a lighter version, less bloated so to say?

[fresh merlin]

you need to perform quests to earn enough goodwill to level up trader to get slugs

[bleak egret]

you really should head to #│📚manual and #╭📖faq and learninate yourself

else you are gonna be real confused when you get to the HP system

[queen torrent]

yeah i really do, thanks for the heads up yall

[fresh merlin]

manual and faq are longer than the US constitution

[queen torrent]

thats cool. I mostly just followed the install manual and was like ALRIGHT LETS GO, guess i wasnt prepared how different it was gonna get ^^

[fresh merlin]

and you know people don't read the constitution

[bleak egret]

https://tenor.com/view/learn-teach-yourself-study-focus-jon-taffer-gif-16744386

[queen torrent]

but i can atleast check it before annoying someone here with an easy to answer question :P

[bleak egret]

theres also a manual in your in-game PDA btw

if you like a quick reference

[queen torrent]

definetely more immersive then popping out of the game thanks!

[brisk zinc]

#│📚manual is mandatory

#╭📖faq is optional

[solid olive]

can u put patches on? if so how?

[bleak egret]

right click armor

remove current patch

[brisk zinc]

What he said + you can't attach patches from different factions on different armors

[bleak egret]

if you wanna be disguised as an ecologist

gotta wear ecologist armor with the patch attached

[solid olive]

ight thanks

[hoary veldt]

Not anymore unfortunately

Now he's just a sitting bandit shooting bag

9/10 the constant gunfire I hear at the north farm isn't loners and bandit fighting, it's bandits shooting at Xenotech for eternity

[civic wharf]

So after some playing and testing I've found out that the longer I play, the more crashes I get (to the point when it's crashing every 10 minutes). I have AMD GPU and did the core 0 thing, would like to avoid downgrading to DX9. Any advice?

[wooden belfry]

Is there a way to turn on ammo counter ui?

I'm sick of unloading my gun to see how many bullets it has

[hazy ridge]

?

[civic wharf]

Should be on by default, lower left of your screen, below your health

[hazy ridge]

isn't it default

yeah

[stoic moth]

If you're using mags you have to turn it back on in mcm

[bleak egret]

wut

[bleak egret]

how long are ye playing

[wooden belfry]

You mean these numbers?

[bleak egret]

yeah

the left is firing mode

the right is rounds in clip

[wooden belfry]

Lmao I thought these are my consumables or smth

[amber tide]

where are the screenshots located?

[primal condor]

do faction relations factor in when it comes to companions? (like for example if my goodwill toward duty is 600 but clear sky's general goodwill is -876, will i need to go much higher or is it just that im not finding many companions?)

[bleak egret]

so, 600 is really low. it maxes out at 2000

so yes

get more goodwill

[primal condor]

well im able to get loners and ecologists with just 500 goodwill

so maybe i just am not finding many duty companions

[bleak egret]

you arent a shizzle

Isn't it Anomaly/overwrite/bin?

or was that fixed

[civic wharf]

it starts crashing after about 3-4 hours of continuous play

[bleak egret]

so, grok did do an update today that fixes a log issue with long play peroids

have you tried since todays update?

because Shift key is use to do the fast moving inv

[magic reef]

What locations have fixed heavy machine guns? I just lost a long IM to some OP gun at the military outpost north in swamps. Could not react before i was down.

[brisk zinc]

Another famous one is in Cordon, the military checkpoint

[magic reef]

Why are they in the game? Seems stupid with instadeath

[hazy ridge]

well you can go around it

[tidal raft]

Machine Yard in Great Swamp, Southern Checkpoint in Cordon, Military base in Agroprom, and that's it.

[bleak egret]

well, the game wasnt designed around IM lol

and in the base game they did far less damage. wouldnt instantly die

[low dragon]

Try disabling Steep Paralax, was crashing frequently with 5700XT and never crashed since then, this + limit FPS to 60

[magic reef]

Yeah if known beforehand

[magic reef]

Thanks

[hazy ridge]

supposedly it based on a PKM model
but the damage is literally Hind chain gun
soooooooo

[tidal raft]

Because they're there from vanilla. Removing the weapons would break AI, I think.

The mounted PKMs are also their own NPCs. Their shots aren't accounted for at all in GBOOBS. Hence their massive damage.

[magic reef]

Ok. My own fault for going IM before i have even completed anomaly🙃

[cloud zephyr]

Hey I have a small question, is there any guide on choosing the correct graphic settings for your pc? (I have a gtx 1650 and an I3-10105f)

[hazy ridge]

the cordon one is a bit tricky to get over
because either that or you have to go uppppppp to the northen passage from swamp to cordon

[bleak egret]

cordon one is ez too tbh

just walk on the east side of the map

then walk under it

[hazy ridge]

yeah but you like

[bleak egret]

bam, you are in cordon base

[hazy ridge]

slow walk and crawling

[bleak egret]

tbh i usually just regular walk

[hazy ridge]

anyway

[rocky crane]

Now some artifacts you can't sell because of their condition. I just have to ask, are they essentially trash I can get rid of in the early game or is there vendors in the world that'll take artifacts regardless of quality like the Ecologists?

[bleak egret]

you can repair them all, also you need them for crafting

[tidal raft]

#│📚manual

[bleak egret]

needs to be 30% or higher

[rocky crane]

hit them artifacts with some ducttape gamer

[bleak egret]

? artifact melter #│📚manual

[rocky crane]

i know that

[bleak egret]

ductape is used for armor repair

not for artifacts?

[rocky crane]

but I mean I would think in the early game a melter would be like finding 9x39 in any form of quality

[hazy ridge]

part of it also that you dont usually visit those area
military base make sense
swamp one is w.e
and cordon is there to make you do the checkpoint trick from base game (secret entrance in the west of the check point)

[bleak egret]

you cant find it. only buy. dude go to #│📚manual

[hazy ridge]

lucky for us they dont have mine anymore

[cloud zephyr]

So ...

[bleak egret]

not that im aware of. if you are getting good frames, then hooray! you are free to change the graphics settings in options.

if not good frames, head to #old-framerate-optimisation

[hazy ridge]

default should be good enough

[cloud zephyr]

That actually is very helpful, thanks I didn't know that channel/room existed.

[hazy ridge]

dont touch the uuhh
anti aliasing stuff

iirc

since it messing with the shader

but you are free to adjust however you want

do not use the preset option (top right) like base anomaly tho

it will corrupt your game

from my experience

#old-framerate-optimisation

also there too if you having minor issue

[bleak egret]

you can also go to #╟🎑reshades . its where all the videophiles lurk and tinker and tweak to spend 10 hours getting their game just right

[hazy ridge]

[hexed kayak]

so I was wondering, with a base gamma setup, are weapons and stuff supposed to look more metallic/shiny, etc? from videos ive seen it kinda seemed so, but in my game, doesn't seem to be the case

[bleak egret]

not sure tbh. you could hit the HOME key and see if your reshades are borked

[hazy ridge]

its happen to most of the gun from "better" pack iirc

[hexed kayak]

reshade seems to be working fine, definitely different when on /off

[hazy ridge]

but it back to normal for few patch already

hmm

[hexed kayak]

ah, so perhaps alot of the basic guns just dont get the shiny treatment?

[hazy ridge]

BAS and vanilla should be ok

[wooden belfry]

Is it intentional that even scientists don't buy low condition artifacts?

[graceful iron]

dont use multiple channels

[graceful iron]

you can only sell them at 30% or higher

see the manual in your pda

[wooden belfry]

One would think that scientist love any kind of artefact...

[hazy ridge]

since Gamma is pretty generous with artifact spawn you can just stock them and juice them up later

[hexed kayak]

https://i.imgur.com/zYZFrai.png confirmed, 30%+

[bleak egret]

One would think you didnt read the manual

[wooden belfry]

I guess art melter is mandatory after all

[hexed kayak]

yeah, melter is a hefty up-front investment

[graceful iron]

15k is nothing at any point in the game

[hazy ridge]

aside from perk arti, the rest of arti are spawn with low condition

[bleak egret]

15k lol

[hazy ridge]

you cant do anything about it

[bleak egret]

investment

its like

3 missions from rostok

thats 15 mins

[hexed kayak]

early-game investment, for us poor people 😉

[hazy ridge]

so arti melter is da way to go

well

not like its a big problem when NPC picking arti and public them every 5 mins

[hexed kayak]

my experience with the melter though has been frustrating, sakarov only offers me ~12k for a fully empowered artefact thats worth 40k, and by then youve run through most charges of the melter

thats just me though

[wooden belfry]

I ran like crazy to yantar with something like 4 naked arts that irradiated my ass beyond what vodka can mitigate just to see smug sakharov refusing to buy them...

[graceful iron]

store them, and make sure to read the manual

[hazy ridge]

you can use the melter to craft some good one too

but i guess everyone is slave of attachments system already

i still hate it

too many good bonus

little to no downside

[wooden belfry]

what is that?

[undone harness]

Anybody know where I can find the Specter DMR Tactical or the Trijikon Kit?

I'll head to Clear Sky then, thx

[hazy ridge]

kevlar/carbon steel plate, weight grid/frame, surge, body cooler,.....

The game will work flawlessly with the modpack out the gate, you can ignore the update for single mods. Wether or not there is an advantage to updating them someone else should be able to tell you

Btw., I finally found expert tools, wish granter be blessed

Great thanks. I'm not picky as long as it plays. Appreciate it

why do reshade presets sometimes appear in anomaly bin, other times in gamma's overwrite\bin ?

[fresh merlin]

Anything that uses NATO ball rounds

[hexed kayak]

hm, is it better to sell all the mutant parts/meat to butcher? or sakharov?

[fresh merlin]

Also svds pmc for the only Warsaw rifle with variable zoom

[undone harness]

Wanted to go with the AK-Alfa or the AK-12

SVD as a Sniper

[merry trout]

Where should I post to get assistance with a CTD at launch issue?

[fresh merlin]

I can't believe this is the first time I've heard of ctd

[fresh merlin]

AK is only for mid game or saving ammo

M4 and AK are small rifles

even for the large rifle variants of AK (AK-47), they lack variable zoom scopes

[stoic moth]

What's more important early on, BR class or Ballistic Resistance %?

[fresh merlin]

I'd go for both

Otherwise you have to put exact numbers

[stoic moth]

Well yeah obviously both are better but I mean when you've got the ability to pump ballistic resistance on a full slot suit such as the ssp with low BR vs higher BR on a military or stalker suit

[fresh merlin]

Give exact numbers

[stoic moth]

Ssp has be class 8 but I can get a full ballistic resistance bar vs nomad stalker with 39 be class but 40ish ballistic resistance

[fresh merlin]

How high is ssp ballistic res?

[stoic moth]

Full bar

[fresh merlin]

That can't mean you're invulnerable

It's the orange egghead suit right

[stoic moth]

I know that, I just took a bunch of damage from bandits lol

It's the saphire suit

[fresh merlin]

A screen shot would be nice

are u kidding

BR class 8, ball res is just 8%

it's shit

where is this full bar

@stoic moth ?

it's shit

[stoic moth]

h/o

dunno why screenshot isnt working. but i have it loaded with plates so the bal. res bar is full

[drowsy light]

are stalkers that aren't in cover meant to be killed by emissions? because they don't die for me for some reason although i seem to remember it being a thing

[fresh merlin]

They die

[drowsy light]

strange, i was watching loners run out into the emission wave and they were totally fine

[sleek rune]

does anyone know where the green stash by Loris is at Northern farm? been searching for ages and can't find it lol

[stoic moth]

I'm pretty sure that's changed in gamma so you don't just get free loot

[agile prawn]

Im struggling to use any other gun then my starter gun due to missing its parts to repair. What do I need to disassemble weapons? Im trying to repair my ak47

so kinda stuck on gear prog

[grand canopy]

Okay, so I randomly take damage. And I do mean randomly. All my hunger/thirst/sleep/radiation is topped off and healthy, but every now and then I just take a chunk of damage for no reason.

Is there a mechanic I'm missing?

Or is this a bug?

[sleek rune]

@grand canopy are your limbs all healthy?

[grand canopy]

No, but I turned off damage from sprinting on injured legs.

And it's not even my legs.

It's one of my arms.

I'd also used a medkit to temp-heal my arm to full condition.

But it started off about three quarters healed, with the temp health filling the rest of the bar.

Now it's about at 1/3rd health, and my other limbs have taken minor damage.

And the health bar/silhouette thing has dropped below the 'head' in the outline.

[sudden egret]

disassembling tools, best is multitool

Swiss knife works too. Grooming kit also disassembles but I think only armor?

[grand canopy]

Oh, and one last question: Who's selling 5.45 ammo?

Ack, hang on, I just took more damage! I was standing still inside of rookie village, I'm well under my carry capacity, and I just took more damage for no reason!

[undone harness]

Freedom, Clear Sky and Mercs are those I know of

[grand canopy]

Oh, thanks.

I don't suppose you know what's killing me though, lol.

[undone harness]

Maybe your limbs where damaged and you were running? Or when your torso is low you take damage for doing nothing. Alternalevely <- (Htf do you write that? Not a native speaker), a Military/Spetznaz soldier might have gotten close to the village and shot you. Enemy AI prioritizes the player

[grand canopy]

Nope, haven't been shot. My torso was below half though, that might be it.

Thanks.

[undone harness]

Prbbly that then

And Simpler Autumn Retextures bushes extracted by Grulag

but what are the mods I need to activate?

just aggressor reshade is enough?

[low dragon]

agressor reshade have to be disabled, just disable the 3 others

[median lagoon]

I can only find 2 of those Gardener of the Zone Textures and Autumn Retexture No leaves, no clue where the Simpler Autumn Retextures bushes is

[brisk zinc]

Open your eyes 👀

[median lagoon]

got that one already, I assumed there where 3, where is the "Simpler Autumn Retextures bushes extracted by Grulag"?

[median lagoon]

maybe it's packed inside daedalus

[brisk zinc]

👀

[median lagoon]

right

[mild trout]

why does using the basic/advanced/expert tools sometime bug out and i can't choose anything to craft?

there's some kind of item overlay from my inventory that bugs it

should've taken a screenshot

[brisk zinc]

Anomaly bug

Grok is trying to fix it

Don't close them with the overlay open

[mild trout]

i'm reloading and it usually fixes it

[brisk zinc]

That's what you need to do

[mild trout]

[brisk zinc]

[mild trout]

[brisk zinc]

It's a pesky bug

Let's hope Grok will fix it

He take this stuff as a challenge

[mild trout]

yeah, pretty annoying but atleast it's possible to work around it

[desert robin]

Does anyone have insight to how the loadouts work? For example with Loner loadouts, does that mean that all loners can only ever have x y z weapons and armors now?

[burnt topaz]

Can i run this modpack on a very low end laptop?
I have a i3, 8g aand integrated graphics
I ask this cause i probaly would have to disable all shadders and change to dx9
Would this modpack not work if ido this?

[brisk zinc]

DX8, not DX9

[desert robin]

#old-framerate-optimisation You might be able to get away with it with some steps in there.

[brisk zinc]

You can try with #old-framerate-optimisation

[brisk zinc]

I do this stuff "for a living"

Stick to mods

(I'm joking of course, any help is always appreciated)

[burnt topaz]

Damn

[burnt topaz]

Why dx8?

[brisk zinc]

Because DX9 doesn't work with GAMMA

[burnt topaz]

i see

;--;

i think i wont even try lmao

[brisk zinc]

I don't see the problem with it?

[burnt topaz]

Ah modding on low end pc is just pain, i might wait until i can upgrade

[north turret]

how many cores and threads in the cpu?

[burnt topaz]

2 cores

4 threads

Is a 2015 laptop

[north turret]

yea i have almost the exact same specs except i have a i7 with 2 cores and 4 threads if you're aiming for 30fps i would say put pretty much all the graphics setting to the lowest (except for the render distance settings) and put it at 1280X720 resolution if your aiming for 60fps set it to 800X600 resolution

[burnt topaz]

Oh thanks man

So you disable all shaders too?

shadows?

[north turret]

in the modpack on MO2?

[burnt topaz]

Yes

[north turret]

turn off aggressor reshade

[burnt topaz]

Ok

Thanks i try now

I will send the progress here later lmao

it might be fucking ugly but will be playable

[north turret]

you should be getting anywhere between 30-40fps if using 720p or about 50-60 fps if your gonna use 800X600

[north turret]

this is what it will most likely look like if you use the settings im mentioned before

also dont even bother with grass set that shit to the lowest that shit is a cpu killer

[brisk zinc]

Can confirm

Ryzen 7 3700X + 3070

Grass is on lowest setting possible

[north turret]

first thing i do with any game is set grass settings to the lowest

[north turret]

yea i would say stalker is a mostly CPU dependant game rather than a gpu one

[burnt topaz]

Is not bad at all

[north turret]

it looks fairly similar to the OG stalker games so if your one of those nostalgia guys that wanna play it like that then thats the way to go

oh also put object detail to 1 it makes it so that trees dont become blurry and pixelated like 30 meters away from you

[burnt topaz]

Ye im am one of those, and for me i just cant stand sttutering, and i did not know how to put mods togheter, so a modpack like this would be great, i just wanted to know if it would break the modpack if i disable some things

Thanks for helping man

[north turret]

if stuttering is a issue even after youve done all of these setting ive said theres a fix somehwere in this server (i forgot where) thats called a "zero core tick fix" (or something like that) im sure @brisk zinc could tell you where that is

[acoustic timber]

Small question,

The lookout changes Grok are doing, is this for player starting items or for NPC stalker gear?

[north turret]

you mean the starting loadout when you start a new game?

with the points and that?

[acoustic timber]

Yeah

[north turret]

in that case yea its gonna be for that (im like 99% sure it is gonna be for that)

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq

But IIRC it's more for people how have CPUs with many cores

[north turret]

ah ok thx for the clarification

[brisk zinc]

I need to find that message because I'm not sure about it

[sleek rune]

it just makes it so that your PC doesn't lump the game on cores shared by all your other programmes, which the first core usually is IIRC

[brisk zinc]

He can still try it though

[sick coyote]

Hey guys, I have a question: I'd like to change the player character sounds to that of a female stalker. I believe the mod "Female Sounds Mod" would allow me that, but iirc, GAMMA has one character overhaul in place already. So what exactly do I do?

Just overwrite the files?

[desert robin]

Either #╙🖇mods-making-discussion or the Anomaly Discord modding section. You'd need to find the files, and track them back in the configs if you want to replace them, or just replace the audio files (which youll need to find what ones they are) but yes basically.

[sick coyote]

ok, thanks

[violet condor]

Frens sorry for noob, 1660Ti laptop like youtuber Pookie who manages to get some very decent graphic plays, got install working, only extra is HD models, started Merc, experiencing 35-45 fps to 25+ in army warhouses, modified stock graphs lower and first two steps of #old-framerate-optimisation , core 0 is nul, would like to know how to get running smooth 60fps as much as possible when I previously had Aggressor Reshade alone running well before the fuckton of mods daddy Gamme adds

[bleak egret]

what resolution

[violet condor]

2440x1440

[bleak egret]

might want to drop down to 1080

that card isnt particularly powerful

either that or tone down grass

[astral wigeon]

I remember doing a certain setting that removed the blue artifact from godrays using the volumetric setting but I can't remember it https://photos.google.com/search/_tra_/photo/AF1QipP7-7PMY4CxP7TBig35C1CSsEIQuFICXL4fK5v8 this is a photo of it on google photos so it isn't too dark

[red dust]

hey guys, i just wanted to know how to reduce alife radius. My game stutters like crazy whenever i enter a level and npcs are shooting each other all over the place

[bleak egret]

alife.ltx file

[bleak egret]

your link is invalid

[astral wigeon]

shit

\

here

I just posted the link so it's not compressed on discord

idk why discord makes images darker then they actually are

[red dust]

wheres the file? sorry cant find it

[bleak egret]

gamedata i thought

might be somewhere weird with GAMMA

[bleak egret]

i remember now! its archived. you need to go to tools and unpack that

should be anomaly/tools

[violet condor]

ty, tried those not much difference, plus no difference disabling reshade, what mods are the greatest offenders? dont understand what all the shader mods do when I had vanilla plus Agressor running pretty well in native resolution. Its dark and raining in Army warehouses, Stalker Alife 0.75 mutant 0.25

[bleak egret]

bummer. honestly if youve already followed the #old-framerate-optimisation instructions, head to #╟🎑reshades . those guys know a lot about graphic optimisation

[violet condor]

ty kindly for friendly advice) will do

[tepid turtle]

Hi guys. Can someone read Log errors here? I am keeping be droped from the game at enter Dead City and found this on the error log:
FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : <no expression>
[error]Function : CModelPool::Instance_Load
[error]File : ..\xrRender\ModelPool.cpp

[bleak egret]

o the damn aug again

head over to #old-bugs

[tepid turtle]

Its sound problem i belive

ah! thanks!

[bleak egret]

says aug right there

its known iirc

[tepid turtle]

I found strange, i am running no problem for so long and sudenly, BOOM!

I guess Dead City is realy dead! XD

[bleak egret]

well the aug isnt warsaw pact weapon

so if you were fighting only warsaw dudes with warsaw guns, youd never see it

mercernaries are a nato faction, so voila

[north turret]

is there some sort of console command or mod that adds in a fps counter of some kind

[plush wharf]

There's a checkbox somewhere in reshade. Tap the home key. Can't check where it is at the moment, but it's in there.

[north turret]

im using a laptop dont think i have a home key

[plush wharf]

well, it'll have a lot of extra stuff but "rs_stats on" in console should work if I recall

[north turret]

ok ill check thx

[muted mesa]

Hey guys

when it says "Verify that you have 292_active_addons "

does that mean this should say 292

[spiral basin]

yes im pretty sure

[muted mesa]

o

[jolly plover]

[spiral basin]

maybe do a complete install if you dont have them all

[muted mesa]

will this be why

i just did a complete install i guess ill do it again agh

[old galleon]

no

[hexed kayak]

any tips for getting a heavy armor repair kit? I can't seem to find one for sale, and havent run across any yet...

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[plush wharf]

Check the crafting menu via a toolkit

[hexed kayak]

yeah, I saw the recipe, 18 mediums just hurts XD

but if this is the way, it's the way

[jagged lance]

just get expert tools

[pale cloak]

there's no reason to rent a tech's vice if you have the same weapon repair and smithing kits as he does right? just right click on them and choose open workbench?

[hoary veldt]

Yup

No time limit, no 1000 rubles wasted

[pale cloak]

tahx

what tool do Ineed to repair trigger mechanisms

[jagged lance]

none

just another trigger

unless you dont have the replacement then you need the specific weapon kit for the type of gun you have

[pale cloak]

oh I was hoping I could repair one

yes I have the handgun kit

trying to reapir a pistol

[jagged lance]

you can repair weapon parts if they're 60%+ condition

[pale cloak]

DA/SA trig mech is at 87%

[jagged lance]

i think trigger mechanisms need the multitool

[pale cloak]

thx

[jagged lance]

if you right click the mechanism and click details it should tell you

[brisk zinc]

None because you can swap them with your hands, literally

This will lower your gun condition though

The barrel is the only thing where you need something in order to change it, mantain it or replace it

[pale cloak]

I know that, I am asking how to repair the part itself, but Sneed answered

the other parts and drag and drop, except the barrel

[brisk zinc]

Ops, sorry

[jagged lance]

yeah idk how i didnt understand what he meant the first time either

[brisk zinc]

It's 6 AM here, for some reason my brain read "replacing parts in gun" instead of "repairing parts of gun"

[brisk zinc]

You can also hover your mouse on the part you want to repair

If you have the right tool, it will highlight

[jagged lance]

thats how i usually do it

[fresh merlin]

#╟🔫loadouts message
So gun damage is a stat that doesn't matter?

do we have a list of ammo damage, and then gun + ammo damage?

how exactly can we judge which gun is good then?

[grand canopy]

What does the 'fun level' setting in the Weapon Parts Overhaul mod config menu mean?

[rotund birch]

where are the saves located

[jagged lance]

Anomaly-1.5.1\appdata\savedgames

[willow hawk]

It matters.

[willow hawk]

Debug mode

And ammo description

[stoic moth]

Spore

[fresh merlin]

for instance, if I want to know whether VSSK really does so much more damage than SVDS PMC
I would use debug mode to fire at something and test each rifle?

oh wait, you mean weapon stats editor?

[willow hawk]

It does dude

What matters is AP power and damage

But anyways, big snipers one shot almost anything with AP ammo

[fresh merlin]

a slug on a 190 damage saiga, vs a round on a 30 damage M4

let's say they both punch through armor

how much damage does either hit for ? It's hard to believe a slug does 6 times the damage

[willow hawk]

Saiga are a bit different because they use buckshots as a basis for damage

The easiest is shoot and then open console.

You'll see all the stats

Shotguns usually have 0.8 damage

Rifles are lower for sure

Slugs have 1.6 k_hit I think, so it's like 0.8 x 1.6

Which is a lot

[fresh merlin]

nice.

I see "bone armor after hit". Is this the same as limb health ? which can be healed by yadulin etc.

[hot citrus]

What tools do you use to upgrade binoculars?

[willow hawk]

NPCs don't work like you

It's their armor. Once their armor is destroyed you start dealing damage

[fresh merlin]

@willow hawk can you explain what "hit multiplier" is in the picture? I take it that weapon power, AP and hit multiplier are the 3 stats to look for in a weapon?

[willow hawk]

bullet multiplier to base weapon damage

[fresh merlin]

So it's bullet power

[willow hawk]

yes

[brisk zinc]

Different words

[grand canopy]

Oh, so it doesn't do anything? lol

[brisk zinc]

It changes what your character says

Literally different words, what I said

[jagged lance]

but how

[fresh merlin]

if an enemy has armor BR 30, will a BR 50 bullet do the same damage as a BR 40 bullet, assuming same ammo power? since armor is destroyed by both anyway

[jagged lance]

in conversation? in the inventory? wat

[brisk zinc]

WPO is about jamming

[jagged lance]

oh

[brisk zinc]

That's what it changes

And maybe when you reload but I'm not sure about it

[supple cape]

Hi guys, do someone knows why my health HUD is like this ?

[jagged lance]

press H

[supple cape]

it just disappear lol

i thought it was normal at first but realized it was wrong when i saw some screenshots/videos

[brisk zinc]

Press it again?

[supple cape]

if i press it again it become like the first screenshot

[brisk zinc]

You're using a different type of HUD

[supple cape]

i didnt change anything since i downloaded it

[brisk zinc]

It's the "text" version of it

Are you sure you didn't touch anything?

Settings?

[supple cape]

since the first time i played gamma its like this, i dont understand

yup

[brisk zinc]

That isn't default

That's why I'm asking

[supple cape]

the only thing i added is the french translation

[brisk zinc]

I don't think it's a problem

But you could try to disable it and see if that changes anything

[supple cape]

i will

well

[brisk zinc]

[supple cape]

i think we found the reason ahah

[brisk zinc]

Translations doesn't go very well with mod packs

Especially with mod packs this big

Where did you put that mod?

[supple cape]

i just added it with MO2 tbh and didnt move it or anything else, it was put by default in G.A.M.M.A Disabled

[brisk zinc]

Hm okay

At the bottom then

[supple cape]

yup

[brisk zinc]

That is the "safe place" where you need to put mods so it's okay

But like I said translations don't work most of the time, especially with mod packs

For some reason it conflicted with the HUD

And probably something else as well

[supple cape]

Ok for more details, the main translation patch isnt a problem, it's another patch that is supposed to translate many mods that have a conflict with the hud

just saw there is a french channel, i'll just check there how are people doing it 😄

[amber tide]

can you sell weapons? and if so to whom?

[jagged lance]

you're not supposed to

but some guns at high condition can be sold to traders

[amber tide]

ah alright, thanks

[fresh merlin]

😩 it breaks the lore to sell guns

[amber tide]

I knew that this mod pack got rid of the ability to buy, just wasn't sure about the selling aspect, it's cool either way no biggie

[astral wigeon]

with the screen space shaders mod is it still required to use it's SSDO or can I use HDAO or HBAO like normal?

[sour seal]

is there any way to boost burn/chem res outside of armor and artefacts? somthing like consumables or craftable equipment?

[jagged lance]

antidote increase chem resist im pretty sure

idk about burn res though

[graceful iron]

artefacts, belt attachments and some medicines

[sour seal]

but nothing substantial right? i remember that its never more than 5% inc for meds for either burn or chem res

[jagged lance]

yeah no big bonuses

[graceful iron]

yes, only artefacts boost that by a large amount

[jagged lance]

mostly comes down to armour/artefacts

[tardy yoke]

Do weapon attachments selections improve at higher trader supply levels?

[graceful iron]

yes, depending on their faction

[tardy yoke]

Thanks. Working on fixing an SKS tactical, looks like it will take almost all optics available so I am looking forward to finding a nice scope for it.

Been lurking in the discord for a bit and havent seen anyone mention attachments recently.

[mystic finch]

I see it's only for ai that's a shame I was hoping we could get differing loadouts for differing factions right now loner loadout doesn't seem too different from Duty or military which doesn't seem quite right shouldn't the Ukrainian army and Duty be offering their recruits better equipment?

[echo forum]

is anyone else experiencing wiggly arms when aiming (most times at someone)? Randomly started today (affects all guns) sometimes when i aim he just unsights and resights continually, its not triggering the wall animation, he just stops aiming, checked mouse as well, not it (fixed, usb port was damaged i guess)

[royal oxide]

I had it happen only as UNISG inside the sawmill

[grand canopy]

So, I saw the explanation for why guns aren't for sale anymore. Why can't I buy any armor, though?

Also, maybe I'm just not understanding things, but if all of the guns I get off of people are in godawful condition, how am I supposed to scrounge up the parts to get them working again?

[proven harbor]

The overall condition is cleanliness and is pretty easy to repair, you can find guns that are in awful cleanliness but there's 1 or 2 parts you can take off and keep

that's what i've done anyways

[graceful iron]

#╭📖faq message see these posts in #╭📖faq on how to repair guns and armor. you arent supposed to buy or sell guns and armor, gameplay reasons

if you want to get buying and selling guns and armor there is also a post in #╭📖faq

[grand canopy]

Oh, thank you! I read the in-game guide to it but didn't quite manage to wrap my head around it.

Ah, yeah, it's much easier to read there.

Thanks.

The letters were all fuzzy on the PDA.

[light python]

how do you fix/improve artefact quality?

[grand canopy]

Oh, I know the answer to that one!

You need an Artifact Melter.

You get it from one of the Ecologist bases.

[light python]

ah, zamn, mid/late game things

[grand canopy]

You just buy it there.

[light python]

espetially since im freedom

[proven harbor]

how expensive is the melter? I haven't been to any eco spots

[jagged lance]

less than 15k

little over 10k on whatever the middle progression difficulty is

[graceful iron]

nope, its 15k on all progressions

[jagged lance]

swear its not

[graceful iron]

are you sure about that ?

[fallow cliff]

where is Ecologists in the southern zone?

[jagged lance]

yantar

[fallow cliff]

thx

does anyone know if there is a mod or an option to disable the scroll wheel cycling of items but still keep the zooming with scopes and binoculars

[simple cipher]

hello, does field stripping consume any other items? also, does bullet dissassembly consume anything?

[fallow cliff]

bullet one does consume pliers from what i seen

[simple cipher]

by pliers you mean multitool?

[fallow cliff]

yes

[simple cipher]

noted, thank you

and about the field stripping?

[jagged lance]

field stripping shouldnt

[fallow cliff]

disasembly does use tools

[jagged lance]

disassembly and field stripping are different things

[fallow cliff]

is there a reason Butcher only asks for Dog meat?

he has gives me 4 dog meat quests in row now

[jagged lance]

😐

[simple cipher]

yep, i know, was just curious if it consumes anything

thanks guys

[graceful iron]

just RNG, he asks for different types of meat

[sour seal]

is everything in the debug menu (items, weapons, ammo) used in the game?

for example the barrikada ammo i saw it exists but no weapon uses it

[jagged lance]

no

[simple cipher]

do companions consume the durability of the weapon they are using? it's not their default weapon, its one of mine

[royal oxide]

Bullet disassembly doesn't consume anything

[simple cipher]

oh dang, that's sweet

[royal oxide]

They do, but not weapon parts afaik

[sour seal]

[graceful iron]

bullet disassembly consumes disassembly items but less than other things, you need a multitool or grooming kit to actually disassemble ammo

[graceful iron]

you can craft that ammo, but some guns and items in the debug are not obtainable on a normal gamma playthrough

[simple cipher]

i see, thank you

[fallow cliff]

is it possible to eventually buy ammo ingredients from some where or do you only get them via dissasembly?

[graceful iron]

only from disassembly, you can buy ammo types with the same parts and disassemble those to craft the ammo you need

but its better to get enough goodwill with a faction that has the ammo and buy it from them

[jagged lance]

can find them on corpses too

[fallow cliff]

managed to find SR-2M Veresk (modernized) and that thing eats ammo and its quite expensive to craft it taking 75 powder :S

still no clue how the gun is worth 70k thou

[royal oxide]

My bad, i stand corrected

[simple cipher]

so repairing the whole armor also repairs its internal components?

[jagged lance]

eyup

[simple cipher]

does this also apply for guns?

[jagged lance]

no

guns are different

[simple cipher]

thanks, this repair/upgrade/crafting system takes a bit to get used to

[jagged lance]

its does dont worry

[fallow cliff]

just saw a stalker with Unisig as their faction but i dont see them in my PDA faction list are they hostile or friendly?

zombie killed him before he noticed me

[graceful iron]

UNISG are enemies to everyone

[fallow cliff]

👍

[agile prawn]

Which tools do I exactly need to disassemble weapons? I thought swiss knife wouldk work on pistols?

[simple cipher]

for dissassembly you need multitool

[jagged lance]

need multitool to disassemble weapons

[simple cipher]

you can also remove everything besides the barrel without requiring any other items, through field stripping

[fallow cliff]

make sure to always carry a sharpening stone with you and not let the multitool go below 10% its more expensive to buy new multitool than just keep repairing it

[agile prawn]

thanks for the advice guys, the early game is rough

esp since its my first stalker game

lots to learn

[simple cipher]

am i supposed to do something with these? i noticed i can read them, but they dissappear afterwards. are they useful at something else?

[fallow cliff]

once used they appear in your PDA guide section

just lore

[simple cipher]

oh ok, thought i could sell them to some npcs or something

[fallow cliff]

if you find PDA on dead stalkers its worth to open them to see if there is any stash markers

[simple cipher]

yeah, that i found out

[fallow cliff]

early game PDA's are also good source of electronics

with disassembly

[simple cipher]

yep, thanks

[grand canopy]

If armor gets below 50%, can it no longer be repaired? I found a nice helmet but it's basically busted, and the repair kit for it says that I can't be used on anything beneath 50%

[snow talon]

regarding the update of DAO

do I just download archive and then extract into the folder where DAO is stored by GAMMA?

and replace files

Would I need to restart a new save too?

[graceful iron]

you can repair any armor or helmet as long as you have the repair kit and some parts, replacing the parts increases overall armor condition #╭📖faq #╭📖faq message see this detailed guide

[sand harbor]

Sir, How to repair my IQ tho?

[grand canopy]

Ah, cool. I read the guide, I just wasn't clear on whether or not the 'unusable below 50%' still applied.

[sand harbor]

I'm joking btw

[graceful iron]

#🔨base-gamma-support message i posted a detailed explanation above, take what you need from it

[snow talon]

[grave canopy]

how do i disable this grain effect

i dont have any radiation

[graceful iron]

you are standing in a radiation anomaly

that effect only plays when you are in a radiation patch

there is an addon in moddb that is supposed to get rid of that effect, go look there

[grave canopy]

i dont

i am walking all around jupiter and still have it

[graceful iron]

thats not possible, try deleting shaders_cache in anomaly/appdata

[visual flicker]

IS Jupiter northern part of zone, where I can find expert tools?

[willow hawk]

Yes. Easiest is radar / red forest / CNPP / Outskirts

[median lagoon]

Hi, why is the agressor reshade disabled? is it safe to add? - I just want to see how it looks?

[wooden belfry]

Try and see?

You can always disable it afterwards

[median lagoon]

as long as it doesnt break anything, my save is already fuckedup apparently

[umbral umbra]

is there a way to enable armour and gun trade, but to have them cost 10 times as much, without changing prices to all items in the game, or modifying every single gun / armour by hand ?

[willow hawk]

Not really. Also, gamma traders weapon stock isn't balanced

and the whole economy isn't made to be able to buy 100k RU guns anyway

[umbral umbra]

okay, thanks for quick response

[willow hawk]

usually you barely have enough to buy ammo and healing and what's needed to repair your guns and armors

[bleak egret]

That is the way

[willow hawk]

early on the progress is mainly through getting rep and stashes locations

what you get from a raid usually covers what you spent to prepare it. Only stashes will make you "rich and powerful" if you are lucky enough (since you don't take risks to loot them)

atleast in hard survivalist

it's only later on when you have good gear and good guns that you can really start making money, and that's usually when you'll need AP ammo, exo batteries etc to not get eaten alive by monolithans

or gather enough money to craft the heavy armor repair kit before you get the expert tools

the progression is the next level shit compared to other stalker games

[umbral umbra]

i will play how you meant it to be played then, love you bro for that long response and you just earned yourself life time fan 💚

[willow hawk]

[bleak egret]

[pale cloak]

Do medicine creation kits spawn in the swamp or corden areas? Hoping to find one in a Stash so I can make my own med kits but haven't found one yet

[hoary veldt]

They can spawn in just about any stash, I would prioritize green ones because they have a guaranteed chance of having a toolkit of some kind

[willow hawk]

it's possible yes. Highest chance is in Green Stashes

[sudden egret]

what's the difference between scav and survivalist?

[hoary veldt]

Higher trader prices

There's probably other stuff but I'm not astute enough to recognize it

[sudden egret]

I'm wondering if changes loot drops from stashes and dead stalkers

[pale cloak]

What's the difference between dissassembling or weapon and field stripping it?

[bleak egret]

diassembling a gun completely destroys it and gives you all parts

field stripping does NOT destroy a gun, but you cant take the barrel out. field stripping does decrease overall gun hp%

makes it dirty

[pale cloak]

OK thx so basically disassemble only really Iif thr gun has a barrel in good condition?

@pale cloak I disassemble when I notice good condition parts.. basically >=60%

[pale cloak]

I haven't been buying stash locations from traders but based on your reply it sounds like I should be right?

[pale cloak]

Thx makes sense. Most weapons I pick up are totally wrecked including most of their parts

[bleak egret]

eh, the best stashes are up north anyways

youll get plenty of em for free from quest rewards and pdas

[fathom crow]

@pale cloak field strip I think can be used on field, like it says.. if you find a gun that has better condition firing mechanism for example.. you field strip your gun's mechanism out and drag n drop the better condition in.

[pale cloak]

I'm still early game, cordon swamp garbage

[bleak egret]

well buying stashes cost $$$ too

gotta weight the cost/reward

[fathom crow]

I'm likely not the first to ask this, but is there player stash in mercenary base?

[pale cloak]

At this point I'd like to find a medic8ne kit so I can craft my own medkits

[bleak egret]

wherever you want to make a stash, make one. can be done with any backpack

[fathom crow]

@bleak egret I know, but I dont have any backpacks.. and playing unisg so there are not that many vendors either.

[bleak egret]

craft one

[pale cloak]

Yup money is always tight for me so far in the game which is why I haven't been buying them but I want to break the cycle of having to pay to buy health kit. I'm now able to make my own ammo and it's helping me save a lot of money

[fathom crow]

@bleak egret yep, need to find tools for that first 😉 I'm at the beginning and found some stuff that I would like to keep for later like armors for disguise. Thanks for the input

[bleak egret]

id say make a beeline for rostok. there are. so. many. quests. there. you can turn in like 10 quests per run on average going back and forth from there

[pale cloak]

Sweet I will do so. Do you suggest that I pass through Garbage and not linger, just go st4sight to Rostok?

[bleak egret]

garbage just exists for butcher, honestly. he pays the most of monsta parts and sells shotguns, shotgun ammo, and the hunting kit for cheap

well, not that he sells shotties in gamma

[rocky crane]

Now i've gotten an annon message that suggests there is a package in the Northeast of Great swamp that can be found using 106MHZ on the RF receiver. But upon hunting around I can't seem to find the area so I just want to ask. Does the package/stash spawn in stashes that are already on the map or is there a new custom spot where it can spawn separate from the normal stash spots?

I'm getting beeping suggesting its near but can't narrow it down

[bleak egret]

not in stashes, will be a package on the ground

[rocky crane]

Gotcha

[bleak egret]

can hold F to highlight items on ground and it will show up if nearby

[rocky crane]

Cheers

[bleak egret]

also, theres an artifact that helps with those too

[rocky crane]

I am too early in the game so I doubt I could find it.

My gambling skills have shown to be very not money.

Alright, thanks for the help. At least now I know its just a package on the ground. Cause I would've been searching for the damn thing for hours like a rat.

[bleak egret]

lol. man ima be honest, i did two of the RF "missions" and never ever tried to do them again. Free loot is great, unless it takes you half a day to find it. Time is money and RF quests suck

[rocky crane]

Time is money unless you're me in which you must have the loot, regardless of how well off a stalker you are.

[bleak egret]

im the same way, but theres no loot to be had if you cant find that damn beeping backpack

[rocky crane]

But then the damn thing is going to linger in the back of my mind lol

[bleak egret]

well, they dont stop. you get them automatically without accepting them.

imagine doing what you are doing now for half the game

and then imagine not wandering around getting irratated

i opted for option 2

[rocky crane]

fair, but im also a smoothbrain

i enjoy pain

[bleak egret]

well all do, thats why we play GAMMA

[rocky crane]

my brother fuckin does not vibe with Gamma cause he's like 'wait you can't just buy a fucking burnt out PM from sid?'

no son, you must break down every fucking firearm known to man and file it into working again

[bleak egret]

ive found that disassembling every weapon is a trap. armor yes, but you get little value from most weapons

[rocky crane]

well I like having the spare parts. It's not like I can sell the weapons anyways lol

[bleak egret]

the cost in weight and multitool durability loss is not worth it tbh. after beating gamma once ive found that i didnt need like 95% of the massive part pile i had

[rocky crane]

I just field strip to save my tools

[sour seal]

does the specific gun damage number still factor in? i assume its all about ammo type that determines damage but not 100% sure

[bleak egret]

yes. gun damage, barrel durability% and ammo type

also the armor of the thing you are shooting at

a 80% durability barrel will do less damage than a 100% one

of the same gun

[rocky crane]

so I can't use a little PM covered in rust to kill a monolith exo?

[bleak egret]

you can with ap ammo

it will take a bit though lmao

[rocky crane]

war by volume

[sour seal]

do we know how big a factor the gun damage is for the final calculation?

[civic wharf]

tried both, no change

[bleak egret]

well, thats the start of the calculation. its.. pretty big

[sour seal]

my caveman brain doesnt want to change guns because bigger number hurr durr

[rocky crane]

i mean it depends.

what gun you using that puts out the bigger number

[sour seal]

assumming its the same ammo type

[bleak egret]

it depends, what guns are you considering?

[sour seal]

like the korth pistol uses .45 and damage is i think 31?

gun itself i dont like

but bigger number

[low dragon]

damn, I was about sure it wasnt universal.. do you have driver timeout crash?

[bleak egret]

dont use it then lol

[rocky crane]

yeah pistols are kinda personal pref.

[sour seal]

yeah i want to change to another .45 pistol but again.... bigger number hurr durr

just want to know if its really a big factor

so i can ease my brain

[rocky crane]

I wouldn't imagine so?.. I would think what ammo you put in the thing matters more.

[sour seal]

thats what i assume as well

[bleak egret]

its both

so korth has 2 pistols

one is 30 dmg

one is 31 dmg

both use the same ammo

[sour seal]

thought as much. so i guess i must succumb to bigger number

[rocky crane]

not necessarily?

[bleak egret]

well, shotguns have really big number

[sour seal]

well per weapon type lol

[bleak egret]

but im not gonna use one as an AR or DMR

RoF is another consideration

DMR do big dmg, but an AR does less damage much more often

[sour seal]

its just my ocd i guess that i cant bear to change bigger number gun

[rocky crane]

I believe whats to be the takeaway here is that damage is a factor but there is other factors like the ammo and the usability?

[fallow cliff]

I got my first exo and tried it on i made sure to put battery in it so it had charge but the button for exo doesnt seem to do anything

it just says error function doesnt work

[sour seal]

ROF is less factor since i usually play very conservatively and just tap tap away

[bleak egret]

does it have the exo battery part

cause theres batteries that charge exos

[fallow cliff]

i put in both

the one that extends the power and one that gives it energy

it was 150/150

its only 9% durability does that disable some functions on it?

meaning the exo itself

[civic wharf]

exactly that, every stutter I get is a 50/50 to crash

[bleak egret]

yeah, if your suit is fucked its not gonna work

[fallow cliff]

just wanted to test it out to see how the mod works XD

guess i need to fix it up then based on that emote

[bleak egret]

sounds like youll end up with a deagle at that rate lol

[bleak egret]

just a bit

9% lol

[fallow cliff]

got it off a renegade bounty hunter

[bleak egret]

wow

a renegade exo
