[brisk zinc]

Well I mean

They don't go into artifact containers

They're not irradiated

Artefacts container are only for irradiated artefacts

It's logical

[clear gust]

right, but those artifacts also don't go into suit slots

so do you just need them in your inventory?

[brisk zinc]

Are you sure you have slots on your belt?

If they're locked, you don't have them

[clear gust]

i see

I also had the same issue with animal skins and whatnot, they don't seem to go into suit slots

[brisk zinc]

They can go there as well

[clear gust]

ah

thank you for clarifying

[north turret]

Btw Grok, are you going to add some mods from #🖇old-mods-posting chanell to the GAMMA?

[willow hawk]

I already added some

[north turret]

Nice

[north turret]

Hello, I noticed in that the population factors for mutants is 0.25 and stalkers is 1. Is this ok? Won't this make the zone empty with mutants and add more stalkers than there are mutants?

[graceful iron]

the game settings for population are overwritten by the zcp population factors, if you want to change those settings you can look in the mcm but the defaults are fine

[north turret]

anyone know where is this stash?

[brisk zinc]

I don't know but have you looked underground? Seems like a place where you need to go underground

[graceful iron]

underground, most likely on top of the train

dont go into the door that leads underground, just go up the stairs and to the right to end up in the train hanger

[north turret]

how is this the stash?

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-shrug-不造-i-dont-know-gif-5094560

i guess those on the top are supposed to be storage spaces of some sort

[junior heron]

Hey for some reason stalkers stopped attacking me and other enemy stalkers what could cause this?

[chrome timber]

Any way for fused artifacts to not spawn at like 14% condition?

[quiet rock]

you can edit in MCM the condition rate in which they drop iirc

[chrome timber]

thanks

[graceful iron]

no, dont change the mcm settings for artefact condition, it can cause issues @chrome timber

[chrome timber]

Read i just now

i guess its for balancing purposes then

[graceful iron]

no easy way of doing it, through the files of the addon changing this which is probably artefacts reinvention

[quiet rock]

oh, good to know

[cunning pewter]

Just updated gamma and for some reason my stalker won’t take damage by mutants or other stalkers but only by anomalies and barrels. Any help as to why this is happening?

[north turret]

probably you disguised as different faction member if you put on new suite

[wise sparrow]

Anyone else getting a really low amount of components from ammo disassembly? I disassembled a stack of 15 9x18 AP rounds and got 1 AP bullet and about 9 powder/casings. I loaded up an old save to make sure it wasn't due to low scavenging skill and got 1 FMJ pistol bullet when breaking down 14 hydrashock. I don't remember it being like this and I don't know what changed was made to make ammo disassembly this strange.

[north turret]

can i find expert tools in dead city?

[wise gull]

Hello. Can I somehow disable 3d scopes in mod organizer or mcm in game?

[stable stag]

No

where can i trade my Renegade exoskeleton for a Scientific exoskeleton? Sakharov has no option to do it

can it even be traded for

[uncut sun]

does the area Jupiter have wide area psi field on it meaning cant enter it without psi protection?

[brittle kestrel]

Is Red forest still supposed to say "dangerous psy emission levels" and such with story mode turned off? Both radar and the brain scorcher are turned off, but red forest is impassable.

[uncut sun]

ye when i fast traveled to jupiter giving same warning playing bandit playthrough without story mode on so think might be case

[brittle kestrel]

like you can't get the helmet, the dialogue isn't there and the emitters are off

do sin have forcefields? when I shoot them it does like an odd little ripple effect like im hitting an anomaly of some kind.

[vapid peak]

They have some damage resist stuff

75%

[brittle kestrel]

wait, resist 75% of damage or take 75% of damage?

[vapid peak]

75% resist

You're doing 25%

[brittle kestrel]

damn, ok. that's neat though.

[vapid peak]

Yeah they're mutated or something

Still easy to kill though if you're doing headshots

[timid jewel]

I seem to have lost my companions, is there any way to port them to me?

[vapid peak]

Are you in a lab or underground place?

They won't come with you

[timid jewel]

no, I told them to wait in the merc base and then i fast traveled to the swamps

when I went back to merc base, they weren't there

[vapid peak]

Are they still on your right side screen?

[timid jewel]

yes

[vapid peak]

How far away?

[timid jewel]

under 10m

when in a certain place

but their HP is grey

[vapid peak]

Sounds bugged

Might be under the ground

Does J summon them?

[scarlet ember]

travel to a different layer of the Zone and they should reappear

worked for me at least

[timid jewel]

Okay, I went to sleep

they spawned back

[oak saffron]

Whats the key for checking your stat levels? Pressed it by accident before but don’t remember it

[willow hawk]

There's no ecolog exo

[mild trout]

Ye there is, just traded for one at Sakharov

I forgot to disguise as an Ecologist

For 45k

[brisk zinc]

Only in Red Forest and north from there, everything else is south

It's K but read it anyway

[willow hawk]

Ah ok sorry. There's no Nosorog though xD

[mild trout]

That is true, btw

How do you activat this double tap X

It doesnt do anything

Activate

[brisk zinc]

I think you need a specific thing for it

[mild trout]

I have a psu thingy

[brisk zinc]

Like a PSU with an artefact in it

Stuff like that

[mild trout]

Experimental thing

With a battery

[brisk zinc]

Just that one isn't enough

[brisk zinc]

.

[brisk zinc]

.

[mild trout]

I did craft that psu

And put it in my suit

What else do i need

[brisk zinc]

Do you have the artefact in it?

[mild trout]

Oooh i have to have a battery equpped

[brisk zinc]

I don't know how it work but I know the correct method, I've used it once

[mild trout]

Equipped

My bad

[brisk zinc]

Okay, put the battery in it

[mild trout]

Dont have one now

But atleast I know what to do

Tnx

[onyx wolf]

Are shotguns underpowered in gamma, or am I just using them wrong? I'm using a pretty damaged Remington 870, but even at point blank with buckshot rounds, and with bullet hit power at 2.2, it takes 4 shots to kill a zombie in a hazmat suit.

[north turret]

Most likely using it wrong. Barrel condition affects bullet damage. For anything that has armour (I assume you’re trying to kill a zombified stalker) on it buckshots aren’t very useful. Use slugs or AP rounds. But still, barrel condition is the main factor.

There was a chart that represents damage based on barrel condition. You can find it somewhere here. But the best solution is keeping the barrel clean and using the right ammo

[onyx wolf]

That makes a lot of sense. Every part of the shotgun is at like 50, but the barrel is at 8 lmao. Thanks for the help c:

[vapid peak]

Low overall condition and barrel condition will make the weapon do nothing

[quiet rock]

well i'm still having big FPS drops looking in this direction in Red Forest

anyone suffering the same? i reduced grass density and draw distance a lot but still have the same performance drop

[warped ginkgo]

red forest always run terrible

Not much you can do

if theres also npcs roaming

[quiet rock]

well, that too

a LOT of monlith and sin. and they keep respawning i think

[vapid peak]

Some parts of anomaly are just very poorly optimized. Not much you can do unless they fix it themselves

[tidal raft]

From there your GPU has a lot more objects to draw toward the south than to the north.

[quiet rock]

i guess it must be a combo of too many npcs and texture heavy location

[tidal raft]

Yep. You'll notice an increase if you lower your draw distance.

[shrewd quartz]

Where do you get the gun for Hip’s quest?

[tidal raft]

From random bandits.

[shrewd quartz]

Nice

[north turret]

After talking to dyegtayrev (i just butchered his surname xD) the USIGN are supposed to spawn where exactly?

[north turret]

You can buy it at Nimble's or at the flea market

[shrewd quartz]

Thats just vanilla anomaly I think

Cos no gun traders in gamma

[north turret]

Oh. Kk

I don't use Gamma eco mod

[north turret]

Although I still think Nimble could smuggle it

Even with the "EU and UN restrictions"

[north turret]

Is there a way to start with the version of the bolt action 20 gauge that has a stock and sling

I prefer how it’s animated over the folding variant

cant use iron sights?

with the pp 19

is this a bug or a feature

nvm that was really weird

made a new game and its fine

[shrewd quartz]

Figured out how to add them to starting loadouts, IDK if I'd recommend anyone else doing it since it involves messing with a txt doc but I'm happy now

is there a spreadsheet somewhere with knife stats?

[mild trout]

i don't think there is

and now looking at the armor spreadsheet, the Scientific exo should have 4 belt slots when upgraded, not 3 as the sheet states

don't think it matters anyways

[willow hawk]

You can reduce the world draw detail distance

[willow hawk]

Make sure barrel condition is good

He corrected himself

His barrel condition was at 8

[primal star]

Hello, wondering if there's a way to shorten lifegranter time? I suck at self control in terms of save scumming but I've lost a couple ironman already so far and its crushing

[willow hawk]

Git gud

[primal star]

oooof never thought I'd be hit with the git gud

[wanton spoke]

Have you tried a standard run with the campfire saving? My self control is also non-existent and I'm finding it perfect so far.

[primal star]

Yeah it's helped me commit to fights I make mistakes in, but I'll still occasionally encounter a fight I should be backing off from but end up retrying until i win strat

It's funny since in my current non-ironman run I've not run into bad RNG, but in my past few ironmans, i somehow keep getting insane mutant spawns ending them, like a controller in that chemically part of garbage

didn't even know they could spawn there

[wanton spoke]

Haha fortunately I can just walk away at that point, If I'm struggling with a camp or area after 2-3 tries I just come back later or go away to craft a ton of meds/better ammo

[primal star]

Yeah maybe its just a mindset thing, the soulslike mindset doesn't really work here

too ingrained in me though

alright time to git gud

[wanton spoke]

Yeah true

It's a time investment choice really

Is it worth spending an hour save scumming till all the variables work in your favour

Or can you get some better gear/ammo/meds and come straight back to clear it much faster

Or are you just fucked and need to come back much later

Think it's the time wasting aspect that helps me walk away

Hello Stalkers. Quest : Reserches. Bring Pigorovs assitences PDA. When I undrstood i right, he must be somwehre in the Garbage Area, i serached the whole Area ( Found dosents of artefackts, epmty stashes and dead bodys ) but no assitent. Is this Random, or can u tell me at least the Anomaly wehre he suposed to lying around.

[vapid peak]

It'll be on his body. Or if there are NPCs Alive they might have it accidently

[humble dagger]

oh ,ok i was on my way to ask all npc if they know somthing .

[willow hawk]

Controllers in garbage are vanilla. Black chimera in Agroprom for instance as well

[primal star]

damn that's cursed, can never let up for a moment even in 'safer' areas

[night swift]

Gents

Why am I able to save in the Agroprom underground?

On campfire save

And am I able to disable this mid playthrough?

[tidal raft]

Because YACS only applies to the 'overworld'.

[night swift]

Is there anything I can do to prevent saving underground?

[tidal raft]

Don't save.

[night swift]

:/

[simple cipher]

can you recruit expert, master, veteran companions?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[simple cipher]

thanks

1 more: am i supposed to do something in order to find recipes? or i'll just find them randomly?

[north turret]

you already have all the recipes

this is a modpack focused around scrounging stuff to thrive and survive it would be extremly redundant and annoying if you had to find the recipes

[simple cipher]

oh alright, thanks

should i avoid all labs until i get good armor?

[vapid peak]

Especially since they would be RNG and multiple playthroughs 😫

[empty coral]

hi, I'm encountering stutters every 20s, tried most option in #old-framerate-optimisation but to no avail. CPU usage always stay below 20% and gpu usage is below 40%, anyone have any idea what's causing the stutter?

[north turret]

i would say wait until you get at bare minimum a sunrise stalker suit or maybe a overcoat with a bunch of meds on you

[simple cipher]

im not sure what those are. are they better than the CS-3?

i got plenty of meds

[north turret]

cs-3 isent that a gas mask?

[simple cipher]

sorry, CS-3a body armour

[north turret]

idk im not that well versed in armours i just get the cool looking ones and roll with them

[simple cipher]

its from clear sky

[north turret]

the stalker suit clear sky one?

or that reskinned leather jacket one?

[simple cipher]

this

[north turret]

ah that one

i would say that would be alright for maybe the earliest lab you can get too after that you wanna invest in better armour and a better gasmask quick

[simple cipher]

what would be the "earliest" lab?

[north turret]

i have no idea i used to think there was only one but apparently theres like 4 of them

i think the earliest one is that one that bandits go to sometimes in the lore

they wear a specific suit that protects specifically electricity due to the amount of electo anomalies in that lab the suit they wear is called the sunset suit or something like that its like the sunrise suit but with a darker tone on it

[simple cipher]

i see, guess i have some more researching to do

thanks mate, noted

[north turret]

glad i could help

[north turret]

maybe @tidal raft would know

is it the bandit one?

[tidal raft]

It depends which faction you start as.

[simple cipher]

CS

[north turret]

clear sky

[tidal raft]

Yes, then X-18 is the earliest you can enter without a psi-helmet.

[north turret]

and that ones near the bandit base thats in that abandoned factory right?

in dark valley i think

or somewhere near there

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[north turret]

yea in that case @simple cipher get a suit that has belt slots and get some artefacts that give you electric resistance or get that sunset suit i was talking about before

you can find them on i think experienced and up leveled bandits

[simple cipher]

alright, thanks man, ill be on the lookout

[north turret]

so to summerize this whole convo kill every bandit you find

they mostly have shitty pistols or shotguns anyway so they should be no problem

[tidal raft]

As was the style at the time.

[simple cipher]

but these armors you've been talking about, they are repairable with light/medium kits, right?

[north turret]

as it has always been the style

[north turret]

im fairly sure yes

pretty sure just a field Armour kit could fix those

[simple cipher]

one more question: does this thing ^ help with psi stuff besides the area in yantar?

[north turret]

no idea i never really made it to that point due to me being stubborn and doing 3 ironman lives and get one back every 5 days

Yeah, it does help with all psy barriers in the Zone 😁 It’s a must to travel beyond Red Forest and go to the Radar as well

[velvet mantle]

Am I supposed to find loot in unmarked stashes? I keep finding medical items and stuff.

[simple cipher]

you are supposed to find very little or nothing at all

[brisk zinc]

You need coordinates for those stashes

[simple cipher]

if they get marked, you will find stuff

[velvet mantle]

how do I turn it off so loot oonly appear in marked stashes?

[brisk zinc]

... it's already like that

[simple cipher]

you shouldn't be finding much stuff in them

[brisk zinc]

You can find little things in unmarked stashes

To find the real loot you need that stash to be marked

[velvet mantle]

but can I turn it off so I find notthing unless it is marked?

[brisk zinc]

Search in ZCP, inside MCM

IIRC, that's the mod

Something about loot percentage

[velvet mantle]

oh so it's ZCP spawning stuff

[brisk zinc]

It should be on 0.5 or 0.25

[brisk zinc]

IIRC

[velvet mantle]

Ok will take a look thanks!

[brisk zinc]

Try to look everywhere in settings and stuff

Maybe it's not ZCP

[velvet mantle]

ok will do

[simple cipher]

take a look in the ZCP settings

[north turret]

Question: How do they stack on each other?

[craggy scroll]

game looks like this after checking "disable fullscreen optimizations"

or is this stalker anomaly being stalker anomaly?

[north turret]

this is probably me being tired as fuck and dumb but what exactly is wrong in these images?

is it the ground color or something?

[brisk zinc]

I second this

Not really a good idea to grab different pictures instead of do a simple comparisation

[north turret]

well hello fellow tired and dumb fuck

[north turret]

also if it looks like this after disabling fullscreen optimizations just dont turn it off then

[craggy scroll]

the environment becomes glossy and shit

[north turret]

alright simple fix go into settings go to visual then click on the weather tab make rain and storm weather common and put both of them for 12 hours make everything else never happen

That's way too much though. 👆

I saw that..

[north turret]

sure sure

[marsh folio]

don't know if you can actually use it as a multitool for disassembling but it should just be a reskinned knife but with higher damage, think the damage is just under the damage of the cheapest axe

[tidal raft]

It's just another knife.

1. Have you updated your installer yet? The latest version is 3.6. You can grab it here: #📢announcements message
   You'll just need to replace the old one you can find in GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer.

2. If you're having problems with the installer or with an installation already finished, make sure you're doing everything correctly: #old-only-installer-support message

[brisk zinc]

you think it got rid of the dx11, indeed when i go into anomaly bin it's no longer there

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[gleaming robin]

Thx falcco

[glossy marlin]

should i just reinstall everything or is there some way to restore it you think

[brisk zinc]

Try to extract Anomaly again

Don't delete anything yet

It's not worth to delete everything, at all

If it'll come to delete stuff, I'll walk you through it

For now don't touch GAMMA

roger. thanks

is it okay to turn off the window defender, just in case?

You can do that or you can just create an exception for the whole GAMMA and Anomaly folders

Yeah, you need 2 of the same artefact

guess its diffirent for junk artifacts

sad

[north turret]

I have mysteries of the zone enabled but doc dialog for it isn't showing, is it because I'm a merc?

quick question for the mods here has grok said anything for or against a weapon crafting system?

[elder rain]

Weapon crafting like what?
Create a gun from scratch?

Or repairing the parts of the gun and service them?

[north turret]

yea like research a gun then making it

[elder rain]

I don't think so, no.

[north turret]

cause i found a addon that does that

and i dont wanna post it in #old-suggest in the event that grok has said something against it

[brisk zinc]

He doesn't want guns and armors tradeable, I don't think he like the idea of crafting them
This is just my thinking though, I didn't ever see him talking about this thing in particular

I think it's the first time I see something like this

[north turret]

ill put it in addon suggestion and wait for his response i guess

Hello Stalkers. 2 Questions. First whre normaly the Screenshots of stalker gets saved. Second. I have problmes with a quest. may somebody knows what i have to do . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4t9iw6PKPI

[elder rain]

Appdata/screenshots

[north turret]

I disguised as a stalker and Doc still won't give me mysteries of the zone, can I spawn in the hotel key to get it?

I have it enabled in mo2

[elder rain]

As for your second question, that artefact in your inventory should be called "Anomaly sample <something something>" and should be right.

[humble dagger]

thx found it. but the quest is still a mystery

[elder rain]

Yeah, you need to find all of the samples and then you can turn it in. And as I said in my second reply, you should have an artefact that gives you no radiation and is called something like "Anomaly sample <something>".

[north turret]

I spawned in the key and Dr's note and it gave me the mysteries of the zone quest, hope it doesnt have any unforeseen issues... idj why I couldnt get teh dialgoue for it

[humble dagger]

" you should have an artefact ..." but i dont have it. so sholud i search it or should it be lying there .

[elder rain]

In the video you picked it up though.

[humble dagger]

Ehm its called "Signet" and it makes psi recovery by campfiers.

[brisk zinc]

The whole quest have "bugged" markers

Because artefacts move every time

The marker lead you to X position but in reality the artefact is in another place, near that position and sometime not even there, so it's also a matter of luck

I always suggest to just don't take that quest

The reward for each of them is good money from what I remember but the last reward is garbage

A letter and a pat on your back

Literally the reason I kill Kovalev and whoever assistant of his, it's a stupid quest for Ecologist, a fetch quest

If you can't find the sample, use debug mode, spawn artefacts on you until you hear or see the "quest updated"

[humble dagger]

Thx. got it . i try debug

[north turret]

where is the ltx file located that has the quest id?

in case i want to nuke mysteries of zone later

my bad just saw readme

[velvet quest]

what should i do if i find an empty marked stash? reloading didn't seem to fix the issue

and i'm down bad for some loot lmao

[brisk zinc]

Are you sure it's the correct stash you're looking at?

[velvet quest]

it's one of those crosses @brisk zinc

the very first one in wild territory

from the duty entrance

the description says a secret stash bellow the cross

but the only interaction prompt is when pointing at the mask

and it's empty 😦

[snow talon]

Ive had this in non-gamma anomaly too

I also rn have a stash-quest in gamma in agroprom, the backpack(stash model) is floatin above a tree, place unreachable LUL

[half trench]

pls add rep cheat to dev menu

[brisk zinc]

It's already inside debug mode

[paper whale]

Are all missions "worth" it? I just gave a stalker my hunting kit and he gave me 5 + a stash. I paid 8 for it - I think. So I am wondering whether the stash is good enough for 3

[stable stag]

That's a bit too much of a loss, but typically yeah its worth spending money on some task requirements

Since its important to uncover stash locations for toolkits

[half trench]

where?

[chilly nebula]

Quick question and probably too simple answer, but: how is it possible for me not to have to set my personal settings again and again and again after an update? That's the only thing that annoys me a little bit.

[lapis silo]

You have to select a target of the faction first

also, too many streloks

[paper whale]

Is there a stash near Butcher and if so: Is it worth to place mutant meat there for his missions or should one simply sell it directly to him?

[graceful iron]

there are 2 stashes near him

he will only ask for pelts and meats, you can keep a set amount in the stashes and sell the rest if you have no use for them

"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"

You can backup your keybinds and mod settings following this guide: #╭📖faq message

I found them

thank you ;D

[glossy marlin]

alright extracting anomaly and placing dx11avx back in half fixed it. i tried updating gamma data and completing installation (which i don't think was necessary) but that fixed it

[lapis silo]

SID, I DID IT! I CLONED MYSELF!

[proper prawn]

Is there a way for the "toggle sight" in mod config to not detach your scope. Im asking because I want to use the 45 degree sight on a rifle but its not working

[lapis silo]

that's your grenade launcher key to switch to a canted sight

In default gamma it's V

[proper prawn]

oh, thanks

[paper whale]

uhm... some Mercs and Bandits cleared a Loner Camp and the Trader is now laying on the floor. I can't medkit him and he talks normal with me; is that intended?

[paper whale]

Why are traders not interested in repaired weapons? I get it that they don't sell them anymore, because they are so valuable, but why don't they buy them no more?

[lapis silo]

If they can't sell them, why buy them?

No seriously, it's just a gameplay mechanic. The "lore" reason is that the UN banned Weapon trading in the zone

[chilly nebula]

That's what I said, it was too easy! Thank you!

[proper prawn]

is there a reason why jupiter is unstable?

[scarlet ember]

What does '6' do exactly? I've tried it with a bunch of scoped guns but nothing happens

[graceful iron]

unequips/equips the scope or if double tapped switches to the next compatible scope in your inventory

its the toggle scope function ?

[tawny tinsel]

hmm... I wonder is there an option to adjust the cost of ammo crafting..

From basically hoarding all rifle cartridges and bullets since start of the game, only having enough for one set of .338 is rough

[graceful iron]

338 is the most powerful round in the game even one shotting giants if you hit the eye

if you are talking about lapua

[tawny tinsel]

precisely, since I did aquire the m700.

[vapid peak]

He's definitely talking about luhpoouh

[tawny tinsel]

From the Radar raid

[graceful iron]

but there is no easy way of adjusting it, it has to be done manually

[tawny tinsel]

FAir enough, not something I'm unfamiliar with

just wanted ot check if there's an simpler route

[graceful iron]

btw, NATO traders start selling it at supply level 5

[vapid peak]

It's expensive

Isn't is like 14k per 15

[graceful iron]

22k for 10 rounds, yes expensive

[tawny tinsel]

I got easier time getting the money for that

[graceful iron]

(hard survivalist)

[tawny tinsel]

than the 40 cartridges / fmj

[vapid peak]

Yes crafting needs to be changed a bit

[graceful iron]

no

[tawny tinsel]

wonder if it's possible to make gunsmithing tools consumable

[graceful iron]

its not supposed to be your main source (i have said this so many times )

[vapid peak]

It's always easier to just buy everything

It could be the main source

It sounds better

[tawny tinsel]

But in trade, make the higher end bullets bit marginally easier to craft

like 25 bullets / cartridges per 338 set, 20 for 7.62's and 10 for others

[graceful iron]

ammo is supposed to be one of the things you buy and collect at the same time, if it was only one or the other it would probably be too easy

[tawny tinsel]

and maybe 10 charges per tools.

But .338 / 7.62 eating 2 charges per craft.. or 3

Think that would be bit more acceptable tonewise, so the gunsmithing tools aren't infinite

[graceful iron]

there was a poll for something similar, i think it was mostly negative

[tawny tinsel]

Ah, fair enough

Wasn't onboard back then

[vapid peak]

The only ammo I've crafted pretty much entirely was AP rounds for my M4. Now I can freely buy them because I'm so far into the game

I bought the cheaper ones

[graceful iron]

end game you have enough pistol and small rifle parts/ammo if you are collecting all of it

[vapid peak]

Had to becareful though. only had like 90-120 rounds so I would have to land every shot on the hard parts

It's the AR AP that doesn't drop often

That's what you'll never have

I could craft maybe 15 bullets every hour or so. Collecting ALL ammo scraps

[north turret]

is the trade armor thing removed? when I do it nothing happens

[scarlet ember]

but it doesn't

I double checked and the key is mapped in my keybinds to 6.

[graceful iron]

what is the function called ?

[graceful iron]

some armors dont have tradeable variants

[scarlet ember]

kb_scope

[graceful iron]

as far as i know, that function does nothing

there is one in the mcm called scope toggle, which is what i explained earlier

[scarlet ember]

I haven't messed with the keybinds at all, this is just how gamma set up from the install

[north turret]

So to get a seva suit I'd need to trade a seva suit from another faction?

[graceful iron]

yes how else ?

[scarlet ember]

you could also just repair the seva suit you found

[graceful iron]

you trade suits from other factions into your own faction's suits

[north turret]

I thought it was more random, like a lottery of sorts

[graceful iron]

no

[scarlet ember]

I mean it's slightly random isn't it? there's different armor variants

[graceful iron]

!faction

[raw raft]

If you can't find any outfits from your own faction: #╭📖faq message

[graceful iron]

no, each option gives a set suit from your faction

[north turret]

some look cooler

[scarlet ember]

got it working.

[mild trout]

hey @willow hawk, just a tiny question, I've completely missed you added 1.5.2 fixes, does it contain the fix for "crash if npc has a killer ID but is not dead"

i've tried again loading into Jupiter and still crashes with that annoying log

[willow hawk]

I didn't add all of them. Some of them are on the engine side and they aren't published yet

[gusty kiln]

Does anyone know which parameter I'd have to change in order to increase the charging speed of the Battery Proto PSU for the Exo? The 80% power draw reduction is very nice, but the charge speed when standing still is virtually unnoticeable.

[gusty kiln]

Nevermind, I think I found it. Edit: I did not

[molten siren]

I have just stumbled across my very first chimera heart, do I sell it to an ecologist, butcher, or do I eat it? Thanks

[gusty kiln]

Butcher pays about double for every mutant part you sell to him, so sell there, or keep it if you need standing with some faction and one of them asks for it

[scarlet ember]

There are a few select items that the scientists pay more for. They're usually indicated by the item description or detail.

like controller brains

I usually sell everything to Butcher regardless because one trip

[gusty kiln]

One thing to note, Butcher pays SLIGHTLY less than the Cook at Yantar for meat, just in case you want to min-max or have a trip planned to Yantar anyways

[ornate skiff]

any way to make the merc voice actor speak rus

[vapid peak]

More for the meat. Not the parts

[gusty kiln]

You sure? I tried to sell Pseudogiant Eyes to the scientists in Yantar, they offered almost 2k. Butcher offered me almost 4k for it, and the same applies for every part I checked. Granted I'm using Trader Overhaul instead of vanilla GAMMA Economics, so that might vary

Checked all the files for the Powered Exoskeletons mod, couldn't find where it defines the recharge ratio of the Battery Proto PSU. Much sadness

[lime sinew]

how the hell am i supposed to reach this stash? (running jump on the branch dont work)

[gusty kiln]

Some stashes are still unobtainable, unfortunately

Cordon also has one, to the Northwest, near the Northern Checkpoint. It's beyond the fence/playable area and you can't reach it

[lime sinew]

I see, oh well, thats a shame

[graceful iron]

its obtainable

has a very specific way to climb the tree

dont use multiple channels to report bugs/ask questions

[graceful pier]

I understand, was a bit too hasty and didn't see the bug channel where I thought it better suited. Won't happen again.

[sick latch]

You just have to crouch down and it's within interactable range.

[gusty kiln]

I swear I tried every possible angle and position and couldn't reach it. Crouching, prone, etc

[sick latch]

You can get a bit of extra reach by using ads with a weapon, although I never needed to do that for that specific stash.

[gusty kiln]

I'll try again then

[brisk zinc]

Take a pic of the stash

If it's literally after the fence, I'm almost sure you can open it

[gusty kiln]

Yeah, it's to the Northwest, south of the northern checkpoint, past the fence on the west edge of the map, under a bush

[brisk zinc]

I think I opened it at least once

If it is the one I'm thinking of, you need to squish yourself to the fence

[sick latch]

So I had a rescue mission, and the quest giver died. The rescue target is still following me however, and there's no option to dismiss him. Is this supposed to happen and should I just keep him around until he dies?

[craggy scroll]

why do my trees look like this?

[brisk zinc]

Well I mean, since you can't really "give" him to the quest giver, the quest is probably failed but the guy you needed to save is still there
So it's a free companion, imho

[mystic oar]

what about them are you referring to?

[brisk zinc]

!deadzone

[raw raft]

Answering the "why the Zone is dead" + if you don't like it: #╭📖faq message

[craggy scroll]

oh i mean the weird effect on the edges of the branches its very distracting not the look of the trees itself

[brisk zinc]

Go Apollo

[mystic oar]

probably anti-aliasing/smaa or fxaa/msaa if you're using them on reshade

[gusty kiln]

Here's the stash in question

Tried to reach it again, no dice

[craggy scroll]

so ill just disable any of those in reshade?

[mystic oar]

if you have them enabled, yes

they hog performance anyways

[sick latch]

Get right up to the fence

crouch

aim your weapon at the stash

[mystic oar]

nah that stash is inaccessible

[brisk zinc]

Why the spoiler?

Btw yes, you can do it, do what saka is saying

[mystic oar]

i tried for like an hour straight yesterday

[gusty kiln]

I did all that. Crouched, aimed, moved the mouse around while moving about, no dice

Even if you use 0 to use the freecam, getting the prompt to open it is finicky

[brisk zinc]

You can't open it in that state

You need to be "physical"

[craggy scroll]

i have none of those enabled and disabling any of the default settings in the gamma reshade doesnt show any differences

[gusty kiln]

I know, just saying that even moving in freecam it's finicky to get the F prompt on it

[brisk zinc]

But

If you press Enter

Just over the fence

You'll be physical again

Don't tell anyone

[mystic oar]

do you have anti-aliasing or smaa on in the game settings?

[gusty kiln]

I'mma try that

[craggy scroll]

anti aliasing is off and smaa is at medium

[mystic oar]

turn smaa off

[brisk zinc]

It's late and I don't want to get on the computer or I'd have you upload your save, so I'd take it for you, the legit way

[gusty kiln]

Oddly enough, fast traveling to it will put you outside the map border with no way to get back in, other than fast traveling again

[brisk zinc]

I think you can run and jump

[gusty kiln]

I tried that too, got on top of the fence (from inside the map), but there was an invisible wall keeping me from jumping down into the bush

[sick latch]

Yeah, I'm able to get to it no problems. I can even reach it standing. Strange.

[gusty kiln]

Maybe it's a FoV issue? I have mine set at 90, 1440p. Let me try 80

[sick latch]

Might be

I'm on 1440p 80fov

Worked even on 150 for me 😛

[gusty kiln]

OH

Might be the Dead Bushes mod

Or the "Stalkers can't see through foliage"

[mystic oar]

this makes sense

cause it turns bushes into solid objects

[gusty kiln]

I think it might turn the bushes into solid objects, so it prevents me from accessing the stash

[mystic oar]

[gusty kiln]

Well, that explains that.

Out of curiosity, the "NPCs cannot see through foliage" is specific to bushes, and not grasses, right?

Cause I just might turn the Dead Bushes on, since the zone would still look pretty green overall

[mystic oar]

i'd assume so cause bushes are static and grass is dynamic depending on the player's settings

[brisk zinc]

It turn bushes into covers, yes

Or solid objects

That's why NPCs can't see you

They know you are there but can't shoot because it's like you're behind a brick wall

[gusty kiln]

I'll keep them dead then, shouldn't change the overall visuals much, and allows much easier access to the stashes under them

[brisk zinc]

I use the mod and I never had problems with it

I guess YMMV?

[gusty kiln]

Oh, it's just that specific stash, mostly, although stashes under bushes are hard to see normally

[gusty kiln]

Is there a way to remove the flickering/color-changing environmental light that campfires produce? The flickering specifically is very unpleasant

[nocturne ether]

how do i get to eastren red forest?

theres a wall/hill blocking where the line is

[gusty kiln]

I believe there's a tunnel that cuts across that line, iirc

[nocturne ether]

do you know where?

[gusty kiln]

Don't remember much, but I THINK it's around the area north of that campfire. Not sure if it's a mine-looking one or an actual cave

Campfire on the south

[nocturne ether]

ok, thanks

[gusty kiln]

Just confirmed it, it's a large-ish mine entrance, slightly northwest of the southern campfire

[nocturne ether]

yeah, found it

NICE

expert tools

[chrome timber]

anyone knows what this does?

or if there's a list where it says the effect on every artifact?

[nocturne ether]

||i think it gives a major buff to everything, but you need to feed it other artifacts||

[chrome timber]

i know, i find it funny that if some patience and money you can craft this thing with artis you can find in garbage lmao

[red silo]

Is the latest installer included with the RC3 now? 3.7 right?

[gusty kiln]

The latest installer version is 3.6, and you have to download it separately and replace the one that comes with GAMMA

[red silo]

Are you sure its not 3.7? says 3.7 in the #old-how-to

[gusty kiln]

Absolutely sure, the instructions on #old-how-to lead you to the comment that has the Installer download link, and it's v. 3.6

[red silo]

thanks

[red silo]

can you link it? I only see 3.7

[gusty kiln]

Sure

#📢announcements message

[brisk zinc]

Now I want to see this 3.7

[red silo]

yea i was looking in install not announcements. Thanks

[brisk zinc]

I stg

If it is GAMMA RC3.7z

[red silo]

yea that

[brisk zinc]

...

You people really need a computer class

[red silo]

sorry not a mod god like yall

[brisk zinc]

[red silo]

thanks for the help tho

[brisk zinc]

Oh come on now it's basic stuff...

That 7z is the file format for 7zip

[red silo]

yolo fam

[brisk zinc]

I can see the confusion but come on

[brisk zinc]

Absolutely but then you have problems because you're sure you have the latest thing, while you actually don't

[red silo]

that why i asked bro lol. Whats the point of moderators if people that ask questions just piss you off lol

[brisk zinc]

You did a good thing in asking

I'm not pissed off

[red silo]

well either way my bad. cuz you seem pissed

[brisk zinc]

Nah don't worry, it's just very late for me

• it's a question I get daily

[red silo]

all good man

no worries

[brisk zinc]

It's just a very common thing to know, it baffle me seeing people in 2022 that doesn't know what a file format is, that's all

You didn't do anything wrong

[gusty kiln]

For future reference, here's how you check the version number of your installer

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[red silo]

oh cool. now i know

[brisk zinc]

And also I didn't want to offend you

[gusty kiln]

Falco just has Customer Support Syndrome

[red silo]

well im actually crying in the corner with my dunce cap on now

[brisk zinc]

Like I said, I'm just spreading informations, that's basically what I do every day on here

[brisk zinc]

After MONTHS of doing this shit, yes

And I finally have the bot for it

[red silo]

appreciate yall tho. thanks again

[gusty kiln]

Np, enjoy

[red silo]

will do

[gusty kiln]

Just noticed my image has transparency on the installer, but no important info was leaked

[red silo]

dam. I was trying to steal your identity too

[obtuse orbit]

If I'm disguised as Duty but I'm coming under attack from a Duty squad, is it one of those bounty squads or a bug?

Like from far away too

[wary field]

I have a stash showing up in the middle of the road in army warehouses but there is nothing there. Is there an underground area I'm not aware of?

[vapid peak]

Don't worry he's just italian

[red silo]

its all good. maybe im just soft as butter

[vapid peak]

Softer than Land o' Lakes easy spread

[red silo]

right in the feels

[craggy scroll]

i went out for a bit so a bit of a late reply but still looks like this with smaa turned off

[mystic oar]

yup that's just anomaly

the game won't look all too good unless you play in 1440p or 4k

[craggy scroll]

they become like that if i look at them whenever the sky is behind the tree

oof welp

[mystic oar]

you can turn off the deadzone look to restore the leaves

[craggy scroll]

hmmm

[vapid peak]

It's 1080p. 1440p literally doubles the pixels which will give it a lush look instead of it being all static. It's unfortunate but it's common

[craggy scroll]

welp

guess i'll just cry about it and keep playing

[tired violet]

Sigh - way, way too many of the campfire locations (the vanilla ones even) have radiation on them. Wild Territory Merc Camp for example is always just covered in radiation, making that campfire unusable. On top of that if you do save there, just to have a respawn point - all the mercs will respawn when you load, and immediately you are surrounded and getting shot, making that save useless.

Is this intentional?

I've also had bandits basically spawn in the Farm on top of me as well, same reload circumstance sometimes.

[nocturne ether]

the radiation is random

per playthrough

[tired violet]

Oh it's a playthrough thing? Not dynamic or preset? Interesting so I got really unlucky then.

[nocturne ether]

pretty sure yeah

[tired violet]

Hmm, hope I get repair kits soon then because they are the only thing I can't find on techs or anything to make the armor I have more than enough parts for.

Oh well, thanks man.

[nocturne ether]

if you give techs toolkits they will sell repair kits

on the next restock

[vapid peak]

Everytime there is an emissions doesn't it rotate the anomalies and radiation?

[nocturne ether]

it rotates anomalies

not radiation patches

[vapid peak]

Would be nice if it moved radiation too

Would make sense no?

[nocturne ether]

it would yeah

[tired violet]

Thanks, hooked up the basic for Xenotech a while ago but I just now (like 10 mins ago) found him an advanced on in Wild Territory (holy crap getting to that hidden pipe stash in the electric house....) - That whole wild territory is WAY deadlier now, it's insane. The respawn on reload was a thing that, even though I hated to do it, had to debug mode and god-mode out of. I killed all the mercs initially, ran in to grab that campfire save and ran out, used anti rad pills and started towards the above stash - but died to an electric anomaly that was close enough to the wall near the collapsed tunnel that it hit me on the platform above while I was walking around the side of the house to climb up to the roof. So then I reloaded that save and had like 4 respawned mercs sitting there at the campfire immediately shooting at me, including a 5th respawned one on the sniper nest - no escaping that. But aside from that issue (just gonna avoid ever using enemy campfires, I already know that fast traveling to them is suicidal but I've never had them respawn on reload after you've cleared it, having never left the area) and the merciless placement of my radiation fields, that place is way more fun and challenging.

Anyway, thanks again for the help/suggestion/info.

[quaint quarry]

Is there a way to scale down the minimap? Thing is huge.

[warped ginkgo]

disable squaremap in mo 2

[quaint quarry]

No like, I enjoy having it on sometimes. And I know the toggle. Just was wondering if we were able to scale it down.

[warped ginkgo]

nope

nvm you can apparently

[quaint quarry]

Molto bene, thank you very much.

[wise sparrow]

Sometimes NPCS can get marked as stashes.

[oak saffron]

Time to loot them

[willow hawk]

Keep in mind there's a key to show / hide it

[mystic oar]

real chads use the pda for navigation

[willow hawk]

Real chads use 2d pda for navigation

[quaint quarry]

Already mentioned I knew of it but thank you.

[simple cipher]

can you not fast travel from truck cemetery?

[vapid peak]

No but you can run

[simple cipher]

i did fast travel

eventually

there were enemies around

[ornate skiff]

i dont think this belongs to this channel but does someone know which mod lets me grab the loot with shift?

[willow hawk]

Fast travelling to unsafe places means you'll most likely get attacked instantly

[vapid peak]

It's already in the mod by default. You can hold shift to take and remove items

[ornate skiff]

Yeah i know but im trying out some tweaks for vanilla anomaly and wanted to use it for that

[willow hawk]

I could add a fix though. I.e. on first actor update if there are ennemies around, delete them

[vapid peak]

I personally don't find it bad. I prefer dropping into hot zones if I do. Serves me right for pushing too close

[thick pawn]

it seems the KS-23 was nerfed again. it still doesnt do the damage it should.

considering how expensive the ammo is especially barrikada, pseudogiants still take nearly 20 of them somehow even to the eye

[willow hawk]

It's been buffed

[thick pawn]

well the buff must have been tiny

still doesnt 1 shot boars in the ass point blank

[willow hawk]

Use buckshots.....

[thick pawn]

i do.

only

[willow hawk]

To kill mutants

[thick pawn]

of course i am using buckshot

shrapnel 25

[willow hawk]

It does more damage than base shotguns

[thick pawn]

of course it does. it should, 4ga vs 12ga

but the buff is miniscule

[willow hawk]

I increased the fire distance

[thick pawn]

it should be just a straight up proper damage buff

[willow hawk]

And increased their damages

And increased shrapnel 25 penetration

[willow hawk]

It is already

It's stronger than 12ga in every way

[thick pawn]

especially to barrikada slugs, i know i am hitting psuedogiants in the eye annd im careful to do it and they still somehow eat 20 barrikada, i know its about balancing realism and gameplay/difficulty and we arent going primarily for realism, but that is seriously ridicolous and it makes me chuckle because of how silly it is

well whatever man, i cant convince you

but thats how it is

[willow hawk]

Barrikada damage is reduced compared to shrap25

[simple cipher]

how do you even kill a burer?

[thick pawn]

its "Stronger" so to speak... by no more than 50 damage points

its nothing compared to what it should be, especially considering the cost of the ammo

[willow hawk]

Increase damage too much and you would just one shot anything dude

What's the fun in that

[thick pawn]

it doesnt need to one shot everything, which is why i said i understand balancing gameplay and difficulty

[willow hawk]

I can increase damage to pseudo giant specifically

[nocturne ether]

i just spam them with hollowpoint, but now that im thinking about it AP would probably be better

[thick pawn]

but its also not fun using an expensive 4g shotgun with expensive ammo that should be powerful and theoretically reduce anything u shoot it with to atoms

and ending up dumping 20 giant shells into its head or eye

[graceful iron]

AP does lowered damage to mutants

[simple cipher]

don't they just block bullets? i though i had to shoot him at specific moments

[nocturne ether]

i thought he had like an ""armored"" shield

guess HP spam is right then

[graceful iron]

shoot once > wait for the shield to go down while you stay behind cover > peek out after he launches his next ranged attack and aim for the head

[thick pawn]

not asking for 1 shot kills, but it should be WAY better than what it is, it should at LEAST 1 shot boars in the ass, that isnt a huge thing considering what you go through to get a KS23 and how costly the ammo is, even to craft it.

and it should have a damage buff to Pseudogiants weak spot, especially hitting them in the eye

[graceful iron]

dont use the ks23 slugs for mutants

[willow hawk]

Pseudogiants are super tanky anyways

[vapid peak]

No. Stalker has always been about precision aim especially if you ever played vanilla stalker. Wait for a boar to turn towards you or way to shoot it to its upper body on the side. Even buckshot will kill it pretty much in 1shot

[graceful iron]

they probably work like AP and do less damage to mutants

[thick pawn]

and its laughable and ridicolous how tanky they are.

[willow hawk]

Try shrap25 and you will use maybe 12 of them

[willow hawk]

They are walking tanks, what are you expecting

[thick pawn]

they really arent, they are made of flesh and meat

[willow hawk]

Best way to kill them is to plant explosives

[thick pawn]

and a 4ga shotgun should explode their eye socket.

[vapid peak]

Use a grenade or two they kill giants pretty easy

[thick pawn]

whats FAR MORE ridicolous is point blank KS-23ing a person/stalker and them standing there and taking it like a champ

[graceful iron]

"realism". giants always have been this tanky in all stalker games, deal with it or use a different ammo type

[vapid peak]

Are they armored? Are you using AP? Shotguns don't do shit to real armor even in real life

[thick pawn]

lol

[thick pawn]

you have not a clue what you are talking about

[vapid peak]

Sure pal.

[willow hawk]

Aim for the neck

But KS23 fan boys are the dumbest

Just increase AP power to 1 and leave me be

[thick pawn]

1 month ago you said KS-23 is underpowered and you dont like that

[vapid peak]

They played 4 weeks of the ks23 meta patch in EFT and expect it to end world hunger

[willow hawk]

It's good currently

[thick pawn]

righto

[willow hawk]

Buckshots has over 30 AP power

Aim for the neck to have AP power buff

Or legs

Barrikada is better than AP slugs

But Barrikada is for stalkers

I don't want one ammo to do everything

[thick pawn]

i only even mentioned it because i remember someone suggesting AP slugs for pseudogiant weak spot

and ive been testing that theory but i dont think its true

[willow hawk]

Try shrap25

The damage is way way higher

[thick pawn]

i will from now on. i think that person saying AP slugs working for pseudogiant weak spot may have been wrong

[vapid peak]

Buckshot and normal slugs for mutants. AP for humanoids only

[thick pawn]

i know chief

[willow hawk]

It works, but "HP" ammo deal much more damage

AP slugs have less damage than regular slugs

[thick pawn]

when i say works

i mean

they were saying its the best option, usin AP slug at pseudogiants eye

they were saying was doing the highest and best damage

it does make sense, but for gameplay they might have been wrong

[vapid peak]

Pseudogiants don't have any armor In the face only the body

[willow hawk]

No it's not

Even regular slugs deal more damage than AP slugs

Now if you want the best gun to kill pseudogiants it's the UMP with Hydrashock

[thick pawn]

before someone tells me again, i always ONLY use buckshot or HP on mutants

[willow hawk]

[thick pawn]

i was only trialling someones suggestion of slugs on pseudogiant eye

[willow hawk]

That's the way it should be

[thick pawn]

they must have stuffed around with their damage numbers

[willow hawk]

Now I'm curious about shrap25 against pseudogiants

I'm betting on 10 or 12 shrap25

[thick pawn]

the reason why i thought slugging the eye

might make sense

is because instead of spread buckshot

you concentrate the 1 shot and damage on the weakspot

[willow hawk]

Just check the slugs vs shrapnel damage

[thick pawn]

pseudogiant has no head armor?

someone mentioned it did

in the search function i saw it

[vapid peak]

One of the mods told me no so

I went by that

[thick pawn]

yeah righto

[vapid peak]

It makes sense since their body is tanks asf

[thick pawn]

eh........

we'll end that conversation

the body maybe

their face though? should not.

[thick pawn]

no worries, thanks grok 🙂

how do i use an upgrade kit? i have a drozd kit for the ks23 and ive tried clicking use and dragging onto the gun but nothing happens.

ok dragging the KS-23 510mm kit onto it worked, but KS23 drozd seems to be a different gun maybe?

[vapid peak]

Was going to say Try it while unequipped. I had trouble too some of the descriptions can be vague

[thick pawn]

yeah ive tried everything to get the drozd kit to work for my ks-23, but the 510mm kit works. it might be bugged

[vapid peak]

Possibly or there is another KS-23 variant

[thick pawn]

the drozd kit allows for sights on it etc, maybe its another variant i havent heard or seen

[vapid peak]

Yeah KS-23s haven't been common in my playthrough I've found maybe 5

[thick pawn]

cause on KS23 there is clearly nowhere for a sight, no rail, you would have to machine a rail and put it on lol

[vapid peak]

I don't like how fat they are so I've ignored them mostly

[willow hawk]

It's for the very short KS23

KS23 Kaban

[thick pawn]

ah fair enough. thank you

[snow talon]

Old question
If I build rep with a faction doing a disguise (they are still hostile tho) and I take off my disguise later and then encounter them, will killing them lose me relations with them?

[vapid peak]

It shouldn't I was turning in quests while getting shot by mercs and after I turned in the last one they became friendly again

Don't take my word for it though

Oh wait I misread that. Yes killing does lower rep

[snow talon]

Dont tell me I misstyped

I exclusively mean faction relation
Not personal reputation

[vapid peak]

Not sure of you can disguise a permanently hostile faction into friendly

[sick latch]

You definitely can in vanilla anomaly, I doubt it's different here.

You need maxed out relations though.

[simple cipher]

is the shakal kit for the ak105 worth it? its 100k roubles

[graceful iron]

the ak-105 falls behind most other ARs in accuracy sadly, the kit is good but the accuracy is the same

[simple cipher]

i see, thank you

i'll keep my money then

[willow hawk]

Accuracy is terrible

It's a close range gun

[simple cipher]

such a shame

[willow hawk]

I need to increase the shakal and swamp thing accuracy

I will also make swamp thing 5.56

[simple cipher]

what gun is swamp thing for?

[graceful iron]

they both have an upgrade to switch to 556, so that will probably have to be changed

[graceful iron]

also the 105

[simple cipher]

aight, thanks

one more question: would you recommend NATO weapons over WP?

[willow hawk]

No

[graceful iron]

it really depends on the caliber more than the weapon

[willow hawk]

Imo the best caliber is 7.62x39

And 7.62x51

But the best all arounder is 7.62x39

With AKM Alfa or RD47

[simple cipher]

these are kits?

[willow hawk]

No recoil, great pen great damages, good mags capacity

No

Very rare endgame guns

[paper whale]

The main quest in GAMMA starts in Cordon as well by speaking to Sidorovich, right?

[willow hawk]

When being a loner yes

[graceful iron]

its the anomaly main questline, nothing changed. you speak to your faction's leader to start it (sidorovich if you are a loner)

[simple cipher]

i see, thank you. but still, would you recommend nato guns over **ordinary **WP guns such as aks74, ak74, ak104/105, etc?

those dovetail mounts are horrible

[willow hawk]

5.45 is easier to get

[simple cipher]

lol so still wp

sad

[snow talon]

I mean

If you have good head-aim
You can use 5.56

Would be good to get a merc disguise though and also have them as part of your ammo-purchasing pool

Otherwise you end up quite limited with only 1 CS and Freedumb Tradr

[simple cipher]

oh ok, guess this is one more thing to consider

[graceful iron]

thats overkill...

[snow talon]

I want to have enough ammo to run a m249 in the future broster

Crafting is more expensive than disguising as a merc

[graceful iron]

that sounds like a you problem. on a normal playthrough you could only ever need one NATO trader and one WP trader

[snow talon]

How would you sustain on 1 trade though
Not engage every single hostile you come across?

[graceful iron]

nope, just craft extra with the ammo/parts you collected

also, dont full auto

[snow talon]

5.56 is expensive bro
And Iam on headshot-taps only

And I cant get more than 300 pool

[graceful iron]

skill issue

[snow talon]

I guess you could sleep-hobo near a trader for 2-3 restocks

[graceful iron]

i literally only buy less than half the trader's stock of AP ammo every 2-3 days ..

my ammo can go low but it never runs out

idk what you are doing with your bullets, probably eating them

[snow talon]

Iam seeking out all enemies on my mad rampage

And then headshot them relentlessly

Probably didnt help that I increased mutant and sdalger pop
Pseudogiants eat boolets

Stable pool is 250-300 bullets in my inventory
But I always want more

[tidal raft]

You don't have to fight everything. It's a strategic choice.

[snow talon]

Cowards dont engage every enemy
I project my bloodlust onto others

[paper whale]

I personally feel like it is a bit weird when you start at Rostok as a Loner. Because in that case you have to go back to Sidorovich to start the main quest. I feel like there is little reason to go back. Am I wrong? Are there good reasons to go back to Cordon beyond starting the main quest?

[snow talon]

But yeah, if you actually sneak around fights you probably dont need too many traders

[willow hawk]

Just craft ammo

[snow talon]

Easy money-farming quests

[willow hawk]

Most ammo comes from crafting not buying imo

[simple cipher]

i can't figure out what i'm missing:

[willow hawk]

Buy shit ammo and convert them to good ammo

[tidal raft]

Welp, don't complain that you run out of ammunition when you harbour that mindset.

[paper whale]

I am a bit picky with the missions in Rostok and so far farming money was easy enough

[willow hawk]

The upgrade

[snow talon]

Sir, I cant find too much ammo on other people
5.56 is expensive
Iam already recyclcing 5.45,but that is also expensive heh

[snow talon]

Not complaining
Iam sighing with blood-smeared teeth

[simple cipher]

i have that box/kit, shouldn't it be working? or do i require both previous upgrades?

[willow hawk]

5.56 fmj isn't expensive

[tidal raft]

The Expert Tools.

[willow hawk]

And it's super easy to craft

If you like full auto, better try playing with SMGs then

It's easier to sustain

MP7 converted to 9x18 and use 9x18AP

Cheap ammo, 30 AP

[graceful iron]

upgrades are separated into 3 tiers, basic, advanced and expert and you need those tools to install each tier

[simple cipher]

yeah, thanks guys, figured it out just now

[snow talon]

Ill just continue doing what I do with my headshot taps, will take me a while to get enough to run my m249 for max trolling vs story enemies
Always got my 1911/fnx as backup

[willow hawk]

You need expert tools

[willow hawk]

If you like headshots and want to save ammo, try 9x39 with a Vintorez

[tidal raft]

You need Expert Tools.

[snow talon]

I could I guess

[willow hawk]

Small clip, very good pen, high damage

[graceful iron]

eko right now :

[simple cipher]

thanks guys i think ive figured it out by now lol

[snow talon]

I already have some 9.39

[tidal raft]

Did you know that you need Expert Tools??

[simple cipher]

[willow hawk]

Repair a Vintorez or AS Val Tac and you are all good

Also, high tier 9x39 guns have very good damage

[snow talon]

Figured
The ammo is top tier irl too

[tidal raft]

Just takes ten years for the bullet to reach the target.

[snow talon]

[willow hawk]

Skill issue

[snow talon]

Integrated supressor compensates these concerns

[willow hawk]

Also it has very good reliably while being suppressed

And the recoil is very low

[snow talon]

Who would sell FNX and USP mags

[willow hawk]

It's just harder to reach moving targets

[tidal raft]

Nothing to do with skill. It's a general observation, though hyperbolic.

[willow hawk]

If you are adapted to use the caliber, bullet speed isn't an issue

Next run will be a 9x39 + KS23 shrap25 run for me

[tidal raft]

Within 5m of the intended target.

[snow talon]

I wonder if its worth converting my. 45hydra pistol into a UMP

[willow hawk]

UMP uses a full slot

[willow hawk]

I don't snipe from 250m away anyway

[snow talon]

Well, i do use binoculars
So my pistol is occupying the slot

[willow hawk]

Well then, UMP all the way

[tidal raft]

I know, I'm just taking the piss. Use what you think is fun.

[willow hawk]

[paper whale]

Is there a sleeping spot in Rostok?

[snow talon]

At the mechanic

You can sleep on the dirty matress while he stares at you

[paper whale]

Ah damn. I forgot that you can't sleep in GAMMA except when you need to ;D thank you for the advice though 🙂

[snow talon]

Sleeping pills

[tidal raft]

Is anyone able to confirm how much damage IEDs deal to SIN-members? Thanks.

[brisk zinc]

Not really

You can use a sleeping bag + roll bed or whatever it was called, it's recommended to do that

[tidal raft]

Bed Spread.

[viscid robin]

Does anyone know how to backup your game options? Every time I update the gamma mod pack it resets all my options. The usual methods dont work.

[tidal raft]

!backup

[raw raft]

"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"
G.A.M.M.A. has a default mod list to make sure everyone has the same things, everything goes back to default when you update or you do a complete installation, it's normal.
You can backup your keybinds and mod settings following this guide: #╭📖faq message

[graceful iron]

you want the print or just if they kill them or not ?

i have used them and it seems the low tier "claymore" sometimes downs them and sometimes only staggers, the RPG head can kill them but has a chance to down them depending on range while the chemicals can definitely kill them

[tidal raft]

It's fine if Improvised or Chemical are guaranteed kills, otherwise I'd like the prints.

[graceful iron]

if you want to do intensive testing use the phantom star, you are able to place the IEDs even while invisible

[graceful iron]

right now i cant do any myself, but that was my experience with them when i used them in normal playthrough scenarios

[tidal raft]

Yes, I know—but I haven't updated since May and intend to wait until 1.0 release.
I was hoping someone could test this for me.

[graceful iron]

if no one does i will be able to in a few minutes

[tidal raft]

Thanks, babe.

[graceful iron]

@tidal raft testing claymores and RPG type IEDs, they dont have a damage print in the console

yes, i disabled the log spam remover

there is logging for bullet damage

[median wharf]

So I'm currently downloading the classic textures mod. Where should that go in the mod list so I don't have issues.
?

[royal oxide]

is one of the effects of Scar perk artifact a complete drain of Psy and suicide, even if you unequip it? xd that's how my invictus attemp ended now - never had it happen before

I saw my psy tanking, so I took it off, but it went to 0 anyway

I used it to heal small wounds, as not to waste first aid kits

[graceful iron]

@tidal raft sorry, last ping. all IED types can one shot all SIN stalkers except for the claymore leaving the most armored ones alive sometimes. not sure about specific damage values as i cant seem to get a print for any of the explosives

its very range dependent as well, just a little too far and they will walk away just fine

[willow hawk]

Last position

[tidal raft]

Thanks, babe. That's very helpful information.

[earnest oriole]

how do I aim sideways with a pistol?
