being able to build into a tank does sound like it may align with my interests
You can’t
morning stalkers
Still capped
I mean yeah but armors will have higher BR class
Not even that
Just tell him to nerf anomaly damage and we will be fine
Just the fact that no pen damage reduction is going to be just BR class (+ boosters)
Instead of the formula we have right now
Aka less protection
Not really
Speaking of is there an atrefact that heals limbs
I’m pretty sure most of the BR increases are within “just black plate” ranges anyway

Honestly it wont be that bad if we have +10 for most suit
Grok posted the planned numbers in this channel already
Wha...
So search feature it I guess
I know nosorog is going from 62 to 68
Aka black plate range
I've got a Max Head hanging around the church for me
Radsuit then
Amuses me every time I walk past
Normal protos are 32 BR
Yeah I didnt see that
Bruh proto is freakin trash now
Isn’t that basically how it is right now lol
always has been
In terms of BR at least
Lol protos have 105% ms
you get more radiation from them
Lmao look how sad duty beril and ibaz are
42 and 36
36???

Are you serious?
36 brc with only 2-3 slots
Christ

fesh pince of blair clip where william says numbers numbers numbers

SHAT is no more
That's the base
There will be Faction bonuses to different resistances
So take for example the Mercenary IBAz might have higher BRC compared to other Factions and whatever
BR Class is going to be a lot more reliable to use when it comes to Heavy Armor
Some Outfits and Factions are going to be a lot more specialized around it, which increases the AP threshold you'll be able to withstand when going against the Monolith / Sin / UNISG Factions without the need of having to focus on Artifacts (Artifacts will still be required to increase the Res Cap)
I do imagine these outfits having less Belt Slots compared to "weaker" alternatives, with higher Base Resistances as these require a lot less setup , because you want Artifacts to still be the End Game focus and what makes the player stronger
So imagine an Exosuit with 4 Belt Slots being able to reach BR Res Cap with the use of BRC + BR% Focused Artifacts that increase BR% Cap, but you'll be missing out on additional benefits or being able to focus on other resistances
Insanely funny
"Why did that merc tank a .338 straight to the forehead"
"Mercs are just built different"
I find it neat that UNISG has the highest BRC bonus increase, when they have the highest AP reduction against the player
I mean for outfits
kinda isn't but ok
i don't see it when i fight against em but ok
?
try to shoot mono exo with 12.7 or 7,62 ap and compare to unisg
"try to shoot mono exo!!!"
im not talking about the regular exoskeletons.
but okay.
the mod is fair and balanced
yes exactly
Yes
But it's still a joke with how the new damage number works
Unless it increases A LOT of BRC
I have not played GAMMA in a long time, do the stats show more accurate values like how it is in their files?
thats just an example
It is a decent increase and Faction bonuses + Attachment changes will make up for it
the point is , unisg and sin are the only factions you dont oneshot in a head with a simular armor to any other faction
thats pretty easy to notice it this way
Oh yeah I forgot about about BRC for pelt/ equipment
So the upgraded steel plate is actually useful now
Like not ALL Heavy Armor will be viable for BRC Builds but it will be great for those who don't want to focus a lot on Artifacts
What mods add shield abilities for Sin anyway?
Which is a lot better than it currently is as only 2 Exosuits are able to withstand the threshold of 5.56 AP
Yeah that's why I like it
Especially for an artefact hater like me
But I still want more BRC for most suits

Yeah I'm pretty glad that BRC might actually become relevant in the End Game

and will make Nosorog armor actually appealing to use
Yeah, wonder if it will be adjusted
But you could just use low% High Tier Artifacts solely for the BR% increase
What armor was BRC?
Well it's not like we can reach 100 BR anyway
BRC is just short for BR Class
or can't we
Well let me theorize
CoD warzone ahh idea to stack 3 plates on top of each other 
12.7 have the highest ap its 72 or 74 or smth
nosorog with a lvl 4 plate now have 68 br
It's not a common caliber though
Pretty sure black tip 762 Russian has at least 80-something
I have to check if they are actually using AP on 12.7 cause other Factions use FMJ despite being on Master / Legend (AP use range)
i thought about it , but im not sure they even shoot it
68 nosorog + 12 best place + let say chimera hide give 10
A solid 90% damage reduction
+15% from boosters
105%
There is also lapua

ye , lapua have 180 or smth
buy thats kind of the point
also gauss rifle have 100 triilion ap or smth
ive never been hit by one of those guns tho
npcs suck with snipers
You say this but I just got my bell ring twice by some fucking renegade with an svd
Well just make it cap at 90/95% like ball % I guess

Fuck I don't remember which Factions have Exosuits 
UNISG and Sin have Exosuits?
Yes
Damn okay shawty
im not sure sin have tho
Could be, but I remember they do
it could exist as a model , but not as a loot accessible to a player
like i personally never seen it
Every faction has an exo, dont remember if GAMMA uses it for all of them

Yeah Sin doesn't have an Exosuit
F
Sin have fuckall for Heavy Armor
Probably mistake it with sin exoskeleton I guess
gamma have alot of suits that exists as a character model for npcs
technically unlimited
now i wonder how the changes will affect the skat 9 exos
like sin/bandit nosorog for example , or exoskats
It will go to exo kit I think

its already of the best exos in a game as it is
the thing that is just super rare

i probably seen it twice for all playthroughs
Like lets take an Exosuit, which is what you would want for a BRC Build with a Base of 58 BRC and 2 Belt Slot
We can go for the UNISG Exosuit for a +20% BRC, which is 69 BRC (
)
That lands up comfortably at 7.62x51 AP protection, albeit limited with 2 Belt Slots (2 - 4 according to the sheet?)
You could do a single Full Empty for a BR% 75% Cap, and use the other slot for HP Restoration or whatever, as you no longer have to worry about Bleed Control as Bleed is dictated if the shot penetrates the armor
It's already Tarkov with how the Ballistics and BHS work
nononono we're adding armor materials into the mix
More Tarkov slop please
Well it's just an indicator
Not actual materials but just a way to tell what Armor does what and whatever
Assuming cap affect BRC?
Yeah assuming Cap affects BRC
Honestly yeah, but you could do a low% Artifact just for the Res Cap increase while ignoring the negatives
and this is assuming all Exosuits will have 2 Belt Slots
UNISG Nosorog having 81 BRC 

Kinda brings the same issue of having to build up BR% with Artifacts as that's the only way to get the BR% Cap increased
Ngl if nosorog had that much BRC, no one would bother using artefacts
WELL

I wanted to say why have to use Artifacts with what is essentially THE end game armor, but I guess it makes some sense having to use Artifacts to build up the BR% Cap so they still have some weight
Well the increase is nice anyway, not having to worry about Bleed without the use of Artifacts is nice
this armor rebalance
will ruin the lives of hybrid users
and ace suit users
actually do i even
need the raptr if i have artigrok
headshot enters the room
And yeah BRC defense is capped
Not really, it's still OP. And as I work towards the new story, elemental resistances will become extremely important when some bosses start spawning fields of electros around you while you have an exo with 2% electrical res.
Grok wants people to suffer more
Skill issue
oh wtf
You have a complete rework of the UI displaying the actual damage reduction used by the formulas directly in your inventory
im expecting chernobog to act like a controller atp
I was about to say about how bad helmets BRC are
And it's a good time to buff them
ladders are broken as fu 3 times already i went nto the ladder and im stuck...
some of them, maybe, but it will only be no gasmask helmets
I want to promote helmet BRC at the cost of rad res.
And most heavy BRC armors will have shit rad res.
That will push the player to invest in rad res belt items or in drugs to be 24/7 with rad protectants or chain smoking
Indeed, but it creates other problems: need more food, more drinks, more meds crafting, precluding other meds crafting, investing money in drugs, etc
So all in all, a different play style than artefacts heavy builds
That's what I'm aiming for: different play styles 😉
Well that's not far from what I usually do
So no problemo

meanwhile I build BR% with artefacts suits to not care about damage and rads

but yeah BRC has the advantage of avoiding bleeds
but it's the fun part imo
and it prints money
also, patch quests give artefacts for free
@mighty viper does cap only affect BRC's damage reduction? We can still tank bullet's pen up to whatever BRC we have right?
wanna ask what does even repair from rogue does?
when i give him weapon to fix nothing change
except i waste money 😄
The repair system was changed
Therefore the rogue repairing mechanic is obsolete as far as I know
that i know but i was thinking that his system is separate one
I think it repairs main gun condition
Wich is no longer relevant
i mean there is one think when u find let say D weapon with good barrel before u have expert tools and u switch all the parts except barrel and fix all of them to 100%
you weapon is still around 60%
Shoot once
and u have jam chance
It sets it to 80 I think
Jam Chance is just calculated from the parts condition
i love loading into two packs of animals, a squad of mercs and an emission
he fixes to 100% iirc
CAP affects all damage reductions
You can just spawn it using Debug later, the task will update
is it important for invictus
Using Debug - yes. It will fail the achievement, unless you're using DebugXinvictus mod from #1035807043933720576
no the mission for invictus is part of the challenge
No, it's not a part of the challenge
ok ill leave it for later then
All you need is Living Legend, Mortal sin and Operation Afterglow
i thought i had to be there at night but i had no luck finding anything
after 22:00 artefact will show up
when u pick it u will be teleported and have "boss" fight
just stand there after 22:00 and at one moment artefact that will be visible with naked eye even without detector
just in case stack PSY res 😄
aight ty
You can just go there anytime and body should still lay in place with pda on it even if you failed it
Are there any help chats?
Kill 6 bloodsuckers- reward is 8k roubles
What scope should I use on the USP?
Went to the swamps for NATO gear, but forgot my USP
I just use laser pointer
chat what happened to invictus?
they said you finally had to get good but you took too long
what
Archived
Less chats = better moderation
the only usable chat for gamma is now gone 😦
This one was fine, too.
I see that the armor rework is on it's way
This is the new invictus chat
It's still same 8 people talking with rare visitors

that is more than 1 gun mdo
whoever recommended trade destockifier thank you bigly, massive improvement on gameplay
you will cherish every med, bullet and box you can manage to get your hands on
I've been at about 20~ bullets for the majority of my run for my k98

They should change the channel's name to invictus smh we dominate here
you mean traders wont stock 300 of each round???
I know, the horror
destockifier is such a fantastic mod for how simple it is as a concept
chat im at 720 mods

stalker just simulated a concussion
i got shot
and instantly
dropped 50 fps
yeahe ver so oftne the game sutters
and drops fps
if im lucky it goes up
if im not it wont

Actuall why do I care, there's a person with like 880-900

😭
Bro how do i kill that piece of shit ghost in great swamps again
in the haunted mission
i wasted 60 buckshots mf is still gnawin at me 😭
haha funi lmao
i stole it already
ty
kekpoint
yes
Scarcity and opportunity cost are tragically underutilized balancing factors in game economies by and large
huh
whys he got so much still
ohhh
i have to enabnle it in mcm
thats better
oh shit this works well with my mod
dutier asked me to kill a guy next to him
There's a slider in there too to make the stock amount vary
😭


can someone send me their mcm settings? had to reset mine for god knows why and these ones are so fucking horrible man they must be from ages ago

Hey Guys. How bad do you think is spawning in with an AK-74 and with 4 mags of HP ammo is right off the bat as a loner in a leather jacket?
Otherwise you're allowed just the leather jacket or no armor, and the meds
And food of course
Kills the thrill imo. Half the fun of starting with shit gear is getting good gear later on. But you do you
Fair. Although I personally find it weird how you can get that gun as soon as first day and end the game with it as well
That's RNG dependent though


What is RNG dependent?
Getting a green barrel AK-74?
Just a good gun IMO. Sure falls off lategame a little, but you get the gist
Like I said, it's RNG dependent. If you spawned in with one in full working order that's different than getting a lucky find off some dead Dutyer
Yeah no. Adv. tools are easy to get really. 51% in TC and Duty in Rostok usually has a few quests there
Just gotta know where to look I suppose
That is very true
That's still time and effort, by that logic spawning with full gear is no different cuz "you get it eventually"
I rather meant that it's pretty easy to fix up an AK even early game
But I do get your point
I just personally enjoy the thrill of starting off with nothing and working hard to get a rifle working. That's why I enjoy the scavenging and crafting parts of the modpack despite being apprehensive at first
Yeah. They're an eyesore at the start but once you get to midgame you start to appreciate being able to fix your own shit and keep the money for AP ammo
Especially if you're an avid artifact hunter and will also need a lotta money for the melter, containers (Not sure if still relevant or if they got removed) and electronic stuff for crafting of better ones instead of selling a kidney for one
speaking of artefacts is there a setting I can change to make them worth selling
They aren't? You just had to fix them up to 90% and then you could sell em for full price
well that'd be a good reason why they're not selling well then
I spent countless hours literally fusing them together just for sales, but those sales? They could fetch me a helicopter with a full tank and arsenal
You can get 80k from a random eco asking for a T3
@fervent stirrup could you please reply to my dm?
Good old days
tf u tryna make a case file on
its my job
The Groza storm could be one handed back then? Damn
First clip is showcase of the lighting I set up, second is my literal base in the underground built over the puddles so I wouldn't get irradiated
no
(Not really. I had- Or probably still have a separate mod for it)
but there is a bug with gunslinger animations that let you use a detector in the offhand with large weapons
idr how to do it but it's super easy to pull off
and you can very easily do it unintentionally
I kinda wonder if in the current update I'd still be able to pull this off
You know. Standing in the middle of the Zone (Well. Theoretically middle) helmetless and not get brainscorched XD
???
hmmm
hey i'm flattered that i finally got my own pipnik post but i was quoting a guy a few messages above me at that time that made the snarky remark first
somehow the monolith are behind this
you simply cannot say it doesnt fit your previous message tho 
reloading (the game) fixed it though so that's something
true
i'm thankful i got my own pipnik post tho
also what are these things I can never seem to get my shots to connect on them to find out
aim slightly above the orb's center
it's a pseudogeist
no telekinesis poltergeist that kills you instantly if it touches you
and has a rare ranged attack where you start seeing lightning below you
and if you stand still for like 4 seconds you die
another to the pile of 'random bullshit that can kill you immediately'
so it's literally impossible to die to it unless you actively want to die from it
you have to be lacking all awareness to die to one of those
the ranged attack is very clearly telegraphed and quite slow
They do that? ._.
Damn. 5 years of playing this game and I still haven't seen everything. DAMN
do they even path at you? they just kind of seem to float around
fun times in agroprom once more
Agroprom
More like
I fucking hate the government
ONE THING NOT A BIG FAN OF THE GOVERNMENT, NOT A BIG FAN OF THE GOVERNMENT
(there's still fucking more of them and I'm already out of mauser ammo)
agroprom? more like, docileinaction
yes that is technically a correct pair of antonyms for both agro and prom, prom being extended to promenade, which can then be recognized as a brisk walk, antonym of walk being inaction, or still
This ain't working
Time to go bully the military check point in cordon to get a disguise together
nevermind didn't even need to go there some military dude was by himself near the fishery and decided to donate his clothes
Oh are we pulling out funny quotes?
Rare w tho
He's right
People that know fuck all about modding treating the old S2 XRay2 build like some sort of covenant of the ark
...well I can almost get it together just need reinforced poly or poly plates, dammit
Or people saying "GSC should've made X-Ray 2 instead of using UE5, X-Ray is so much better!!!!!!!!!!!"
i thought i added
the half life 2 fast zombies but no
A PSYSUCKER FUCKING CHARGED AT ME DIRECTLY
WHILE ROARING
Psysuckers are freaky
Why the hell do anomalies in the North have artifacts of same tier as in the south? What's the actual freaking point of doing artifact hunting on any stage of the game??!!!
Errrrm it actually stands for Agricul'turnaya-o(connecting letter)-promyshlennost'
The southern tiers don't get removed from the loot tables 
What??
I'm just mad that I upgraded scientific suit, crafted a bunch of artifacts for anomaly resistances only to find that actually going into anomaly zones is almost worthless
Running around killing Sin is easier and faster than going to anomaly zones somehow
bullying stalkers is usually the easiest way to get stuff yeah
But that doesn't make sense balance-wise...
With how dangerous most fire anomaly zones are, for example (incredibly easy to die without good costume) loot in them isn't just worth it
Even with 95% resistance to fire
the reality is that gamma is poorly balanced 🗿
Are there any good artifact rebalances then?
Nah, it's true. I've already installed heavy armor rebalance
Happy for it
just don't get shot
Mirage in Zaton is such an ass quest. I need to personally talk to the author of those unique monster quests and question his sanity
They work fine outside of GAMMA
Erm didnt ask 
It makes sense because north anomalies are not different from those in the south they just hit harder
It would be too easy if the loot pool was only north artifacts
They have increased odds of spawning T2s
Rarely T3s
Unlike Southern Anomalies which have increased odds of spawning T1s
Rarely T2s
Never T3s (unless DAO decides to bless you)
no shit
fan since yesterday
pay me tribute
I am back from exile
I just want to apologize to the mod team, and Dry, for breaking a certain rule multiple times. And I want to apologize to the people of the server, who had to deal with my shitty jokes. I will review the rules, and I will not repeat my mistake.
You really going to let THE MAN keep you down? Rage against the machine brother
what did he even do?
im confused
I made certain jokes about certain sexual acts with certain creatures that aren't human.
hmm ok, makes sense
What do you mean makes sense?
mfw i didnt read the rules: 
What are you trying to say huh?
because its a rule lol
yeah I'm gonna be honest when I joined I said "I ain't reading all that shit"
But I learned my lesson
I feel like they should make the rules more interesting to begin with, I lost focus 1/4 thru the first time I read them. But just to be cleared, I have read them all now.
yeah no, this is a server with rules, since its a bigger server it MUST adhere to them strongly
if this were some dinky like, 200 person server the rules could bend a little
but its not
I couldnt even tell you I was just spouting off at the mouth.
Make the rules more interesting

subway surfer stream in rules?
dont be me
run up a hill
see fellow stalker, standing there silently
i accidentaly run into him
stalker turns out to be zombie, with a double barrel
i_am_dead_not_big_surprise_bassboosted.wav
point blank fucking range lol
is it just me or did grenades became extremely rare? I've been playing for days, already reached Rostok, now doing the Yantar lab mission, I haven't found a single grenade
they're intentionally hidden from your until scavenger... what was it, 17?
because grok hates you and your fun
are you 4 real?
havent had that many grenades on me either but then again i just reached rostok and im still running circles in the swamp
super cereal
👀 
basically, yeah
but also, im not a grenade person and i sell any ammo or part or thing thats not marked as favorite without thinking 
so, i couldve sold a thousand grenades by now and wouldnt even know
how is FPS and graphics in gamma nowadays?
i'm looking for a new playthrough and wondering if it's worth
- mid
- peak
FPS improved with newest version

gimme that juicy 1 frame from optimized bhs script
im on linux, on a legion 5, i got all settings turn down to low, sun/grass turned off, 1280x720 resolution, DX9 and i got about 55 fps 
how much we talking about?
1
10-20 for sure
what GPU are we talking about ? 😄
I get 50-70 fps outside of Rostok, all graphics almost maxed out including SSS options + additional graphics mods on 1440p (rtx4080 + my CPU is still bottlenecking it)
same here
if FPS == <60
print 'FPS == Gorillion'
we did it patrick, the gamma userbase is saved
Newest patch did wonders for Jupiter for sure
what fps u getting
ik it depends
from 100 to 70
but give me a guesstimation
I have 3070 and I get a decent above 100
id say
with arrival, reshade ,8k grass, 4k textures
obv sss/es
core 0 off and avx
AVX? I heard that you are supposed to play base dx11, I used to play with AVX on older version tho
the est i have given included these
100-70
is the AVX gain considerable?
Good stuff thanks
I was watching a Youtube guide for some graphics mods on GAMMA and the guy mentioned you are not supposed to play in AVX but the basic DX11
Avx can cause shittier fps actually
i should turn it off then
ty for letting me know
yeah turn it off
afaik
but it was a really good guide
idk

you can either blindly believe
or see for yourself
leave the matrix now
or keep being a sheep
I am just giving you information I have, when I asked YOU why use AVX, you didnt give any reason so obviously you dont know any better
nah
i didnt give you an answer as to if you should use it
cause every single part in both of our pcs is different
so i have no way of knowing
for me its +3 fps
if AVX is objectively better, why wouldn't I want to use it???
okay well I will test
stalkers, just to be sure i got it right...
You didn't
FUDGE!
anyway, for max profit...
artifacts > ecologists/clear sky
meat and body parts > butcher
gun armor parts > gunsmiths
everything else can be sold to traders
ye
I think now everyone buys mutant parts for same price. Other stuff is correct thougj
nah butcher pays more
forester pays more too
(unless was changed)
but ecos pay well for parts too
mutant parts?
the parts that come from mutants, yes
ye
awesomesauce! thanks, folks! 
It was I just don't know if it's in a release or just dev2
Butcher / Forester pay more for Mutant parts in Main
but Ecologists pay more for Brains iirc
one other thing, factions are not effected by the death of their leaders, right?
no
cause i swear, back on 1.5.2 i saw less bandits after accidentally blasting whats-his-bald-face, sultan?
unless rngesus was like, i dont feel like spawning bandits today. here's a bunch of mercs!
prolly the latter.
but good to know.
So, any particular reason I can't do the entire arena? Thought it might just be a time limit but I finished the third fight and the dialog option has just been gone since.
Man this game is FUCKING me
Try to collect some artifacts in agroprom? Black chimera
Try to deliver a package to the dark valley? Fucking pseudogiant
the pseudogiant spawns are so fucking out of the way in dark valley though
what npcs should i not kill for invictus
You should just avoid killing anyone not necessary so that there's less risk
Is spawning NPCs in the test map a good way to test NPC weapon drops? Trying to make sure my gun mods are working properly
in stalker 2 its even worse
more interesting
Bruh, they're rules 💀
Yeah but y'all can spice them up bro
Or are you saying the rest of your mod team is boring? 🤔
I'm saying that they're more interesting and well written now compared to what we had before (work not made by me btw)
interesting, dodged the question
The mod team is not boring

You don't even need to them read fully, just the big ass line of text is enough since it's basically a TL;DR
I think they're going to notice your hesitation and turn on you
If I go down, the server go down
Wait is that kcd next to your name kingdom come deliverance?
Kill Children Dead, extreme anti-natalism group, you should watch out for this guy tbh
melee the pseudogiant
Nah it's Kocks, Cum n Dick
This would be kind if fun, esp with the hideout stuff
Yeah, and instead of PMCs and Scavs its Mercs and Loners
nikita will be hearing of this, lawyer up
can someone help me. I'm trying to make a retexture mod and I am almost done but one part
#╙🖇mods-making-discussion and be a little more descriptive of what you need help with
wpn_vpo_136 = true, 400
I will just put this into loadouts, and it will function without issue

is there a guide in the north that can take me somewhere south OTHER than the bar
cause I'm a merc and I don't feel like fighting the entirety of rostok
if I have a 1080p monitor but try and use 1440p what all bad will happen?
GPU will explode, parents will disown you
I can't find an answer to this question
is there any way to get south as a merc besides going through red forest or limansk
because every guide seems to just go to the bar
No
Actually yeah
whomst
those who know:
see I thought if anyone would it'd be him, and the guide says he's a scout
and yet I didn't see a dialog option for it
merc
I just really don't have the ammo (or the monolith disguise) to go through red forest or limansk but there's an assload of tasks to turn in
oh
you have to ask him "who are you?"
Would y'all recommend a five seven as a sidearm?
I have a full green one and a big stash of ammo for it
I mean, it works
wouldn't really recommend it as a mutant killer but as a backup in a pinch it's ok
but if it were me I'd just save the ammo for a p90 cause you can put that in your melee slot and use it as a backup too
being able to afford a good lpvo on your main anti stalker rifle feels like a milestone
could that take up more of the screen
I see you never use the Russian NVG optics
If your weapon is wp like an ak or val or
the best scope you have for range is the giperon, which does in fact, take up even more screen
terrible
Does debug mode have an option to just finish a quest?
am facing an uncompletable Lost Signal quest
!task
@warped bay Having problems with a certain task? #╭📖faq message
aw hell nah
I hope that the task didn't come from dush-it fucking did...
Gonna end up sticking with it for the rest of my run
'uh yes, uurah, and granata my fellow military'

BIG LPVO
gonna scream
all this work to get to that stash and it's a drug kit
every fucking time I swear
well Operation GI Joevich was a smashing success, and by a smashing success I mean they didn't see through my disguise even though i was crying behind my gas mask
on the plus side this military outfit has full gloves, that's pretty cool
...god is a military disguise useful anywhere besides agroprom
Not really
well I guess I'm just lucky clear sky doesn't really need many disguises
just wipe the military base out...
I tried that but I ran out of ammo
gonna be honest I never noticed how huge it looks lmao
I might go back to the spectre and use this for like, my svds when I finally find expert tools
trade destockifier and having a mauser so I only had.. I think 30? 40? rounds at most, it's a lot of guys if you don't nail every single shot (not that everyone of them dies to a single headshot)

thanks
slightly better armor at the cost of renegade armor isn't terrible
but does it have good gloves, I know this very important stat is missing from the sheets..
..still think mercs should be hostile with clear sky.
Stupid loner+
...I mean come to think of it why are they neutral with duty, this is probably explained in a game I haven't played
who
mercs aren't neutral with doody
Clear sky
than they would be basically loners ?
probably because they never had any actual contact in the trilogy? i dont remember
then why is duty in stalker: clear sky.,...
They're already loner but slightly gooder
they were there but no direct contact between clear sky members and duty
i mean the only reason why
mercs are neutral with clear sky
is cause they're neutral with them in stalker: clear sky, i don't know man..
there was this dude called scar
and he was a mercenary
scar was a "merc" but he fought mercs
Idk I wish there was a way to fit more nuance into the faction relations
he was basically a loner but with "higher prof standards"
you, here?
Every game has different mercs
Which makes sense
They seem to be less an actual faction and more just different groups on a mission
sorta like mercenaries
Yeah, which would be nice if that could be reflected too
You really can't
In a gameplay standpoint anyway with how Anomaly establishes Factions and Relations
I would assume they would just be spread among other factions
Mercs could be 3 separate factions easily
The guns are positioned to look cool with iron sights. Other modders add scopes and shit, but don't bother with making a reposition, and that's what you get as a result. I think most gamma guns were fixed by some modder. Look for repositions in mods posting.
Clear Sky are half nerd half Loner and they sell nato ammo
For gamma that's all I need to know lol
clear sky should be no faction at all
freedom should have ALL OF ROSTOK
By definition everyone in the zone who takes on work that requires they be armed is a merc
But "mercs" the faction is just shadowy nebulous western interests made into bad guys. Anomaly had to make them more cohesive which implies they're some kind of pmc or coalition of pmcs
anomaly's isg kinda stinks
researchers where
all i see are ripoff merc
s
not actual western researchers
but that blurs the line between them and ISG
so meh
Mercenary is barely implied to be western operators
I honestly see them as experienced Stalkers who take the work as contractors for easier access to better paying tasks
Same as Ecologists asking Loners or even Mercenaries to work for them temporarily
good that your headcannon can comply with totally made up arbitrary faction mechanics made up for anomaly
Or the Military contracting Stalkers
jokes aside the whole concept is stupid to discuss, half the factions are only factions for gameplay reasons
Eh
I see ISG probably more as direct intervention by western powers, hence the secrecy
Mercs may or may not be western or have western influence, but if so, it maintains layers of separation
made up as in the ISG? they were cut content i believe
Yeah they are cut content without much to get out of
does that change much?
maybe not
They don't necessarily have to be western, but they're being supplied with western arms so it's not exactly a stretch
At least that some of their contracts are coming from western interests
lol no
Outside of Anomaly, they are seen using the AKM or LR300 ( ? (it was the TRs))
the LR300... is an american gun.,.,.,.,,.,.,.,.,.,
So the AK is also american? Okay
It's been a minute since I've played clear sku and soc, but most of them have ARs and l85s which I'm not going to pretend I remember the ign
they have
LR300s and whatever the L85 is called in STALKER
Just saying that the "NATO" and "WP" affiliations with weapons are stupid
i mean..
It shouldn't be a stretch that obviously loads of Soviet equipment would have already been in the zone, then bolstered by corruption and the usual European Yugo black market
Select fire western assault rifles aren't going to be anywhere near as common
Though it's still just implication not fact
Meaning someone from outside is supplying them outside of the normal means someone would get an assault rifle in a warzone
Flash news, Monolith is all belgians and germans becauase they have F2000s and G36s
This is your brain on "muh immershun realismo" brainrot
Monolith is kind of an anomaly in more ways than one tbf
The guns are not a tell to where a faction are from
They're more of a powerscale
In the OT bandits use MP5s, Freedom use L85s, Monolith use a mix of western ARs and soviet oddball guns like the AN94 and SVUs
None of those are implied to be "western"
Leave your irl supply line stuff at the door pls
Look man
If you give me a world based on ours with a diverging timeline, I'm going to use my own knowledge of the world prior to that to make connections
That's lame
Though I think anon has a point with the powerscale
It's a videogame
It's not that deep
The guns that are in the OG games are there because the devs thought they were cool
That's literally it
There's no logic or reason behind it
They really wanted the F2000 to be in it
And they doubled down in S2 by adding shit like the Carmel and the Vector
Is Israel arming mercs in the zone by giving them Carmels in S2?
Heavy implications
That's an oblivion lost remnant tbf
Had to kill mangun
iirc the F2000 was the literal first gun the first SoC alphas, because it was an OL remnant
The DP12 is still my favorite addition
In the absence of another explanation, I'm going to fill in the blanks
At no point am I asserting that it's fact, just an implication, which is an entirely different thing
It's not an implication
At no point in any of the games it's implied that any faction that uses """""""western""""""" guns is western in origin or members
Is Han Solo from Star Wars part of the SS because his blaster is based on a Mauser C96?

Add F2000! Add F2000! We want F2000!
Doesn't have to even be intentional on the devs part
It's not explained, so I'm going to overthink it
And I hate to say it but I'm literally never going to stop, I will overthink everything
WE LOVE SCI FI WEAPONRY 
F2000 is not scifi you fucking dolt
It looks sci fi
Looks like it, but it is amongst us
among us
So... how long does it take for these to despawn?
bodies despawn when leaving the map
Now you're talking about a sci fi universe that isn't connected to the timeline at all with a gun that was visually modified to look like something else
That's not what I'm talking about
guys
ah great...
WW2 guns only
Kissing boys only run
lootbox only
This one is fun
Not with an M1 carbine you don't
this might be alr
they despawn if they exceed a certain amount of you go further than a certain distance as well. its configurable in some settings
I would kill myself lowkey
yea i remember ballsofpurediamond doing it
Gambling run
Revolver only run
Hip only challenge

i dont use companions
Wild
I get a weird mutant spawn and I'll die 8 times to it
The idea of having done invictus enough to challenge myself is beyond me
What if you roleplayed as RE4 Leon 
Add that RSh-12 in
so
wait what? but how do you listen to noises? is that why people get ambushed by chimeras ?
ww2 guns only, or revolver only?
You wont believe
They dont
Revolvers

You could have like 15 revolvers if you added all decent-ish revolver mods for Anomaly that are out there
Ww2 gives you more options 🤷
a python?
I mean yeah
Is all about the style, not practicality
12 shots..
Tho some of them are OP af
Frosty's RoN pack has a python
link to that mod?
Like that one with like 100+ pen I believe?
Which one
Or the one with 400~ damage?
I dont remember but some are very busted
Or probably another mod
is there any mod that adds dual wielding pistols?

or dual wielding in general
No
never seen one yet....
how come noone has made anything like that
dont give them ideas pls 
Forgive me
I genuinely can't put myself in the headspace of trying to challenge myself in invictus
My first challenge would be get my death count by end game out of the triple digits
This merc run has not been kind
Engine limitations
i mean due to engine limitations it can be a single weapon
Which could be circumvented, but it's too much effort for the profit of....nothing
take your pm and another pm drag them into each other and you create pm dual wield which is a single weapon
Be better, improve the engine mr modder 
Have you ever made any mods for a STALKER game
very little and i understand the work it needs to be done
but im just curious about how things could be done
im interested in learning how to do it that is
thats what i was thinking models and animation wise
I've seen dual wielding, it's possible.
Tokarev only
literally, make them shoot at the same time 🤑
done it
I forgor
actually not that bad
im not talking dual wielding in the sense of one gun in one hand and detector on the other hand im talking more of an animation thing
In Anomaly?
I mean tokarev round is strong
In modified cop engine 

Revolver only run 
Just port it to Anomaly, isnt Anomaly just cop? 

what mods are those guns from?
give the link to the mdos
Wait forgot the literal best revolver mod ever made for this dogshit game
mods*
If only the guy who made it even committed this thing 
i expected to get staked
Imagine
i imagine you sending me a link
alr then, no revolver playthrough then
lootboxes sounds kinda fun tbh
Imagine tho


Yeah just use AP
