[harsh sandal]

Last time I did that

I got surrounded by chimeras and a giant

[river parcel]

oops

[harsh sandal]

And the giant

[river parcel]

yeah...

[harsh sandal]

Was it a white giant?

Anyway

It clipped into the bus and hit me

[last mesa]

Dayum

[river parcel]

they've breached containment

[last mesa]

Well that a VOG-25 won't fix, without fixing you too xD

[harsh sandal]

Another fun outskirts experience

5 controllers and 4 chimeras at once while I was saving Strelok at the hospital

[river parcel]

good luck strelok

[harsh sandal]

More like me getting stun locked with multiple hungry cats around

[onyx raptor]

I started merc in dead city, where do I go for story lmao, went to yantar and the psy emissions fucked me up lol

[harsh sandal]

Uhm

Your trader?

[onyx raptor]

Wait does he have a psy helmet or something

[river parcel]

disable miracle machine and brain scorcher

my guess is trader sends you to sakharov who tells you to disable machine and then you go and disable scorcher afterwards

[last mesa]

No. He gives you quests to complete, just follow along their path and you'll be golden

[onyx raptor]

I talked to dushman and he gave me two of the main quests

[river parcel]

Follow the yellow marker labeled "Living Legends"

[harsh sandal]

[onyx raptor]

Do I have to go to wild territory the because yantar has hella psi emissions, and the first obj for LL is south and that’s through yantar

[harsh sandal]

Read brother

[onyx raptor]

Do I have to go around?

[onyx raptor]

I did lol

[harsh sandal]

There is a second entrance to Yantar on the southwest of Dead City that doesn't require psyhelmet to travel

[river parcel]

yeah, you won't be able to take the dead city to yantar travel route until you own the psy helmet from sakharov

[onyx raptor]

Isn’t the entire area putting out psy emissions though until I do BS and MM

[harsh sandal]

Nope

[river parcel]

no it's just the gated area

[onyx raptor]

So southwest exit then?

[harsh sandal]

Yes

[onyx raptor]

Okay cool thank ya

[harsh sandal]

If you dont like going around

[onyx raptor]

Fuck army warehouses lol

[harsh sandal]

CoD lobby

[onyx raptor]

All I got is an mp5 and a ots lmaoooo

[harsh sandal]

Anyway you will need 30k money for the psyhelmet

[river parcel]

if you don't have access to rostok, AW is the goat for dropping advanced toolkits

[harsh sandal]

So it's actually better to go around

[stable tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/math-zach-galifianakis-alan-the-hangover-confused-gif-2269638555414253872

[onyx raptor]

Yeah but on the other hand

Fuck AW.

[harsh sandal]

[onyx raptor]

I don’t play with companions either lol

[river parcel]

what happened to you in AW bro do you need to talk to somebody about it lmao

[onyx raptor]

Nooooo…?

[harsh sandal]

Nevertheless, you might want to rush to Dark Valley as a merc

It's a gold mine

[onyx raptor]

I need to do bs and mm for that?

[river parcel]

no

[harsh sandal]

[onyx raptor]

Ok cool

[harsh sandal]

Zamn

Banish this guy to #╟🔰☢newbies-chat now!

[onyx raptor]

LMAOOO

I only did one run through before and wanted something a lil different tha loner lmao

[river parcel]

you can take dead city -> AW -> truck cemetary -> dark valley.
there's pretty good odds you won't even see a hostile stalker on the way there

[harsh sandal]

He will have AW PTSD again broda

[onyx raptor]

Fine I’ll go aw

Maybe it will be better this time since I’m a merc

[river parcel]

go through the freedom base and hop the western wall to avoid the potential duty squad at the ruined house

[onyx raptor]

Or I could kill all the duty

[river parcel]

feel free

[harsh sandal]

Anyway, you dont need psyhelmet to access anywhere equal and below AW

[onyx raptor]

I have an emission in 22 hours

[river parcel]

there's an emission every 24 hours

[harsh sandal]

You need psyhelmet to access MM, turn off MM to access radar and BS and turn off BS to access the remain of the zone

[onyx raptor]

Ic

Thank y’all

[harsh sandal]

[plucky spade]

what is the increase of anime girls jere

[harsh sandal]

[onyx raptor]

Tactical gear+anime girl+m4 = cool

[harsh sandal]

Sopmod > m4a1

[onyx raptor]

Mk18 nice too

But wish it was black

[harsh sandal]

[plucky spade]

m4 sucks

[sick yoke]

lol

[onyx raptor]

Seriously also wish it could use a leupold+rmr tho

[plucky spade]

average white female after turning 18:

[onyx raptor]

It really doesn’t though

[onyx raptor]

lmao

[plucky spade]

dunno

[onyx raptor]

Only tan I like is glocks and scars

[plucky spade]

only rifle i trust and had in hands

AK74M

[blissful ivy]

dont have it, nimble gave me the USP

[onyx raptor]

I use both

[blissful ivy]

match

[harsh sandal]

Imagine

[onyx raptor]

They’re roughly equal in terms of performance in my experience

[plucky spade]

does shooting range counts as Usage of firearm?

like i had in military

or nah

[harsh sandal]

A tan glock

[plucky spade]

lets say i had SCAR-H in arms aswell

[celest sparrow]

[plucky spade]

bullshit rifle

[sick yoke]

the glock 18 from csgo:

[plucky spade]

wassup dog

[harsh sandal]

This is why I dont play it anymore

[plucky spade]

i havent heard of CSGO dor ages

is it alive stillM

???

[river parcel]

they killed it with a gun

[onyx raptor]

Y tf is there a psi field in the house of culture

[river parcel]

CS2 is alive as ever though

[plucky spade]

Yes

[harsh sandal]

[plucky spade]

The fuck ya mean CS2 where is CSGO

[harsh sandal]

Welcome to dead city

[plucky spade]

i hope they wont kill TF2 and make TF2.2

[river parcel]

CSGO has been relegated to a legacy beta dropdown option in steam

[onyx raptor]

bro team fortress is already 3 feet in the ground

Unfortunately

[harsh sandal]

[onyx raptor]

Bruh I just saw a mutant run around and then “wooooosh, boom” and see a hunk of flesh flying at Mach 1 through the sky

it was one of these lil guys

[celest sparrow]

They gave proper support for the Modding community by releasing the SDK so TF2 might not receive any more updates

[harsh sandal]

Because TF3 is on the way

[celest sparrow]

Yeah, it's called Deadlock

[harsh sandal]

You remind me about that post saying deadlock has a low player count

[onyx raptor]

I was gonna say what should I use to get rid of dizziness then I saw cocaine

[harsh sandal]

[desert aurora]

This sentence is enough to kill a game on its own

[onyx raptor]

Why use tablets when you have crack

[river parcel]

anything that mentions "stimulant" or "dizziness" in the description will help

[sonic verge]

does anyone know where the fuck the save files are for EE COP?

[harsh sandal]

Want to know a secret about gamma?

[sonic verge]

No

[onyx raptor]

Yes

[harsh sandal]

There is a secret technic called

Read

[onyx raptor]

Woahhhhh

You’re a genius

[oblique reef]

Unfortunately every gamma player is infected with illiteratitis, even the most experienced gamma player falls victim to not reading

[harsh sandal]

[sonic verge]

They need to make a dylsexia font for Gamma

or bold key sentences and phrases

[onyx raptor]

Make it all in arial bold

[sonic verge]

that font is ugly

[onyx raptor]

And 4 spaces between each letter

[harsh sandal]

Nah time news roman baby

[sonic verge]

there has to be a comic sans mod for stalker right?

[harsh sandal]

[onyx raptor]

Uh…

[river parcel]

just remove all the text actually

[onyx raptor]

Yeah that

[river parcel]

discern the purpose of an item by looking at it really hard

you'll know if you have enough money to buy something if the button works

[blissful ivy]

guess im not doing the heart of the oasis quest after all

since that FUCKING controller and his ugly fucking dog is stopping me

[river parcel]

if it wasn't for those meddling kids, and that dog of theirs

[blissful ivy]

cant

too close i just blow my head off

[sinful osprey]

Granata

[river parcel]

I wonder if the controller can stop you from using a melee weapon

[celest sparrow]

It can

[river parcel]

sledgehammer users in shambles

[celest sparrow]

#📢development message RPG in BS complainers winning

[river parcel]

the point blank RPG is hilarious, this is a tragedy

it's always unexpected and it's comedy gold

[sinful osprey]

The controller reaching into my mind when it sees hip foot fetish hentai

[last mesa]

Hey guys! Check out what I found in the AW!

[river parcel]

neat, don't really see that often

one of the more fun heavy armors with mags enabled

[last mesa]

What's interesting it is either the only one or one of the two SKAT type armors besides the proto exos able to have more than usual artifact slot amount

[river parcel]

I forget, is it 3 +1 upgrade?

been ages since I had one drop

[last mesa]

Let me check rq

Yeah. 3+1

The only other one that I remember has 3 slots right off the bat is Freedom Skat-9

[river parcel]

it's fun, 8 small and medium mags with the backpack plus 2 large mags

100% movespeed, solid base resistances

and losing one artefact slot won't get you killed

[last mesa]

Man. Fixing this and the Sphere M-12 and I will be ready for Sarcophagus in this XD

[onyx raptor]

are areas with traders and whatnot considered friendly to you?

like this

[river parcel]

only if the faction is friendly to you

[onyx raptor]

idk who tf is here lmaooo

[river parcel]

that's the freedom base and you're a merc, so they are friendly to you

[last mesa]

Fuck around and find out XD

[onyx raptor]

man i got planted up on one of their towers and whipped out my binocs lmao

[last mesa]

Good choice of equipment

[sinful osprey]

I just did it with a maxed hybrid and spartan helm plus compass, full empty, and pseudo hide
Took like 3 guys bursting me at once to take me down but I think that was the only time I died

[river parcel]

sarcophagus gets easy the instant you learn to bring up the companion wheel and command "wait here"

the forced companions absolutely love to get themselves killed

[last mesa]

Nice

[sinful osprey]

Mostly true
I gave my normal companion my gauss rifle so he actually did something but otherwise yeah
Other than my one death the two times I had to reload were both because Rogue ate it, one of those times I killed him accidentally lmao

[last mesa]

Meh. They can rot. I care only for the ones I train, and I never like to have more than 4.

[river parcel]

Strelok and Rogue will jump into a hallway with 15 monolith in it at every opportunity they are given

[last mesa]

Unless I am carrying my entire base on their backs in a nomadic playthrough (like I did back in the 2021-2022) I would use up to only 4 at a time. The forced ones are just a pain in the ass to manage

[river parcel]

You're staring down a scope watching 7 heads dive back and forth like a carnival minigame

[last mesa]

No shit xD

[river parcel]

the carnival minigame ends when strelok eats your 7.62 AP to the back of the head

[sinful osprey]

Real
I had them put in crazy work in the first hallway where there's a bunch of rooms cause they stopped them from spilling out but everything past that they were a liability and fucking stitch absolutely wouldn't leave the doorway after that first firefight

[sand lark]

haha just read the dev log, turns out if you complain enough , other people make mods to fix your problems 😄 whiners claim another dub!

this is in reference to the rpg changes upcoming

[lusty gate]

selling mutant stuff to butcher or waiting for quests to hand them in, which one is more profitable?

[river parcel]

the latter, in every situation

[onyx raptor]

Does your ammo left in the mag go away if you reload before emptying it or does it still keep the extra bullets in your inv?

[river parcel]

if you're talking about base gamma, it's cod reloads

[sand lark]

quests everytime, but butcher buys everything you sell at once so unless you want to wait forever to sell it all then its worth making big trips down to butcher every now and then if you have a ton of bits

[onyx raptor]

So it keeps it then?

[sinful osprey]

Quests
I save them and only sell them when I have a big surplus
Like leave ~10 of each in your stash/fridge in case you get a task, sell the rest if you need a cash injection

[river parcel]

yeah you can reload every bullet you fire and you'll lose nothing

[onyx raptor]

I’m using artigrok but i don’t think that changes it lol

[river parcel]

and always remember to CRAFT A FRIDGE, that shit's free

(and save before you go to place it down for the first time, because it'll crash on you lmao)

[sand lark]

hmm its never crashed for me

[river parcel]

gamma encounters driver crashes on my system pretty frequently

[onyx raptor]

Dude I hate lurkers they are just dead silent sometimes, I was setting a fire and one just walked up and hit my ass and scared the shit out of me

[sand lark]

i used to get that a lot and then i reinstalled it and most of my problems went away. its worth doing every now and again i you get a lot of crashes and youre on updated versions instead of fresh reinstalls imo

[sinful osprey]

This is good advice for gamma in general

I ended up buying one but especially early game you should be just disassembling everything and keeping high condition or crafting parts so it always helps to check if you can just craft whatever you need

[river parcel]

they're silent if they're not in your field of view

listen for the passive lurker calls to know they're in the area

[onyx raptor]

Scared me hella lol

[river parcel]

I'm on a fresh install of 0.9.3.1, I just have AMD drivers so crashes are non-negotiable on certain titles

[sand lark]

theyre not silent either, if you turn sound up you can hear their footsteps behind you

theyre quiet but can definitely be heard

[river parcel]

I forget exactly what the recipe is, but it's like 3 or 4 of a few different junk materials you get from disassembling items, costs $0

[sand lark]

hmm i also use amd

[river parcel]

as soon as you get a toolkit to gain access to crafting, you'll have already gotten enough materials for a fridge

[sand lark]

7900 xtx

[river parcel]

RX 580 8GB, very little support from AMD at this point

[sand lark]

could be why then

simply spend £1000 on a new card . ez

[river parcel]

I've had it since feb 2019 lol

[sand lark]

you dont NEED bother kidneys, just saying

[river parcel]

it's always been a pretty solid performing card, just with pretty significant driver instability and weird bugs on random games

most games there will be no problems whatsoever

games like stalker, helldivers, tarkov, etc. will have rare driver hangs usually on loading screens that give you a flat black output until you reset the system

an example of just weird bugs is the UI in Armored Core 6 failing to update correctly like 6 months after release

you just don't get working bars anymore

worked fine until then

idk, unimpressed with driver support from AMD for this card

[sand lark]

sounds like the card is causing many problems to me, i rarely get anything fucky in any game other than low fps because of shitty unreal engine

[river parcel]

yeah the part that's weird is that 80% of the games I'll play with the card have zero problems at all

it's purely just driver support

[sand lark]

its a problem that cant easily be solved though

[river parcel]

not by the user for sure

and unlikely by AMD with how old it is by now

[sand lark]

yeah, good luck with it anyway. crashes annoy me when they happen too frequently but i can tolerate a little bit. for me gamma crashes about every 30 hours so its not too bad

and usually only at map transitions so its right after a save

[river parcel]

it depends a lot on if it's a problem map, but it's frequent enough that I just enabled autosaves so I don't lose too much time by forgetting about it

Jupiter in particular has a lot of problem spots

rostok used to crash a bit too, but after the map layout got updated it's actually super stable

[sand lark]

its not frequent enough for me to remember but i think its pretty evenly spread out among maps for me

i feel like its more likely to happen the longer i am on a map for

[river parcel]

for non-driver crashes gamma is pretty good about it so long as you're in the discord

if any crash persists on a re-load, just throw the error message into the search box and 99% of the time a solution is there and takes like 5-10 minutes

[sand lark]

the last problem like that i had got solved luckily.

[last mesa]

Tell me this does not look cool XD

[last mesa]

Ctrl+Shift+Win+B

Resets the graphics driver

May help when your game hangs in a loading screen

[hazy pollen]

Absolutely, add a little love to those walls (posters maybe), boxes and clutter and its perfect.

[last mesa]

Yeah, especially with how I positioned the companion xD

[wise palm]

I love how the duty at garbage never say thank you for the help with the mutants

it's either "wow you did nothing" or "wow thanks but not too quick on the draw"

[amber lagoon]

Duty is a mix of asian tiger parent and soviet bloc mid-rank cop, thus canonically worst faction

Be thankful they didn't fine you for jaywalking

An addict, an asshole, and a moron walk into a bar, and the bartender says "welcome comrade lieutenant"

[wise palm]

well well what do we have here

[last mesa]

Now that is more like it!

[blissful ivy]

Ok how does one put the lights on the wall? Or was that already there?

[oblique reef]

Caps Lock iirc

Or bind it in the MCM for Hideout Furniture

[onyx raptor]

What’re y’all’s thoughts on the ak-12

[blissful ivy]

Oh ok

[blissful ivy]

Worse than the 74

And worse than the pmc74

[last mesa]

This

[onyx raptor]

In terms of stats?

[blissful ivy]

All

Stats wise its a little better

[oblique reef]

Looks cool tho

[blissful ivy]

But recoil?

The animation recoil is horrible

Its unbearable compared to the 74 pmc

The pmc also has 45 round mags and its common

And since theres no monolit 2.0 anymore

We lost the only good ak12

[last mesa]

Accuracy is worse than normal 74, it looks worse, takes an array of Nato attachments which block the vision like a screen hog and it just feels off while firing, but that's my personal take on the matter

[blissful ivy]

All that

Is true

[last mesa]

Agreed. There was 2012 too, but it got removed sadly

[onyx raptor]

Y’all mean monoliths light or monolith ak12?

[blissful ivy]

[onyx raptor]

There’s two

[blissful ivy]

Both are gone

[onyx raptor]

Dang

[blissful ivy]

We have the ak 12 preacher

Which is a shitter 74 pmc

[last mesa]

That's not too bad, but it's still crap in comparison

[blissful ivy]

So yes, 74 and crew is better

[blissful ivy]

And the pmc is more common

Its just better

Venom is better too

[onyx raptor]

Just realized that the bloodsucker noises are the exact same as volatiles in dying light

[last mesa]

Are they?

XD

Also don't ask me how but somebody smuggled a zombie into the middle of Rostok XD

[onyx raptor]

Yeah the exact same

[blissful ivy]

yeah they took the sounds

well they paid for them i assume

but they used the same ones

[blissful ivy]

"Smuggled" as if they didnt just let it past

its duty, they dont deal with dogs, they wont deal with walking corpses

[onyx raptor]

saiga nerd or merc? found both on some military when i cleared the agroprom research institute

[carmine basin]

MERC

[onyx raptor]

Good thing I’m a mercenary heh

[sinful osprey]

This reminds me

I was watching Gundam SEED while building models and during a fight I was hearing sound effects I'd heard in the vanilla stalker games
It was just a tad surreal

Gunshots and anomaly detector noises

[blissful ivy]

so dumb ass question here, what is the latest version of gunslinger?

[river parcel]

wait I just had the realization from yesterday, the easiest way to get the max range shot is to wait for a stalker to guard the cement factory tower in jupiter

they stand up there and don't move, while it's visible from like half a kilometer

[crystal fiber]

The one with protecta.

[onyx raptor]

What sights do y’all recommend for the saiga merc?

[blissful ivy]

Yeah and how would i get that?

The updater only goes to 2021

So either i didnt get the right download the first time, or shit broken

[crystal fiber]

Time to go to russian sites, I guess
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJEBdilioU4

[blissful ivy]

Well that fucking sucks

[crystal fiber]

This one has a link to patch, but I'd double check in the group.

[blissful ivy]

Because idk where to look

[crystal fiber]

All the links are in the description of that video.

[blissful ivy]

And my internet is off so i cant even do anything

Im on data rn

[vast pumice]

evening, stalkers! 🍵 is good day to run around the zone pumping hardbass, completely ignoring audio queues lol

[oblique reef]

Is there a mod that adds this to Gamba?

[vast pumice]

...i'm sorry A HWAT?!

ive never seen more than one controller in one place..

...dealing with one from a distance is one thing BUT MULTIPLE?!

is that even possible?! (a school of controllers, that is!)

[last mesa]

Ngl the difference between Skat-9 type of armor and SEVA feels somewhat big. Nice

[last mesa]

Yes it is. Although it usually happens only in Outskirts

[vast pumice]

this is wild territory, THE HORDE IS ADVANCING!

[crystal fiber]

I wish I could find that video of outskirts.

[vast pumice]

i aint fucking around and finding out, not tonight lmao

not after i found THIS...

THIS IS THE BEST AK I FOUND ON A DEAD BODY, EVER!

in terms of condition, that is

[onyx raptor]

Wait till they find a pmc

[vast pumice]

all it needs is a little scrubbing and i can got CHEEKI BREEKI like no tomorrow

[onyx raptor]

74m is pretty good

[oblique reef]

You'll freak when you find a gun that has all but one part in green

Still like my m4 tho

[crystal fiber]

Enjoy

[onyx raptor]

Cuz im a dirty yank

[vast pumice]

i will piss, shit AND COOM in my pants if i ever see one lol

[onyx raptor]

Nut in the ak see if it jams or not

Do all three actually

I bet it won’t

[mental furnace]

i got 7 of them one time in outskirts

sadly 4 chimeras dunked them

[crystal fiber]

The fact that he got all the variations

[onyx raptor]

OH YEAH I FOUND A RETRIBUTION

[vast pumice]

sweet mother mary and joseph

[valid loom]

huh so a group of controllers is called a school

interesting

[vast pumice]

IKR?

youd think theyd be called a BUS or RIDE

[valid loom]

[vast pumice]

get it?

cause in russian, a controller is someone who checks your ticket on the bus/tram/trolly

anyway, here's something wholesome...

a man and his best friend

[last mesa]

Nice xD

[vast pumice]

...and here's a life pro-tip!

you CANNOT out-speed an anomaly

[last mesa]

Bruh xD

[vast pumice]

[valid loom]

https://tenor.com/view/russian-off-road-drunk-russian-spill-shake-gif-16092745

[last mesa]

Bruh. I must've angered some mercs because they sent a 5 or 6 man hitsquad after me, right in the middle of a swamp in the Yantar. Motherfuckers

[vast pumice]

ooof

[valid loom]

are ecologists still chill with them?

[last mesa]

Nah. Fuck this. I'm done for today. Gonna chill while watching someone else struggle as I eat dinner

[last mesa]

Yeah. I think so

[vast pumice]

i think someone can just hire hitmen to go after your ass, doesnt have to be that specific group you offended.

i remember i pissed of the entire dead city and the next thing i know the military was hunting down my ass all the way to jupiter

[last mesa]

I know. Bounty squads are a whole mechanic in the game

[valid loom]

I always have dynamic relations on so they're always at war by the time I actually raid miracle machine

[vast pumice]

i had dynamic relationships on for some time till they started to make no fucking sense

suddenly, the military and bandits were friends but the ecologists and loners became enemies?! WHO PISSED IN WHO'S CEREAL THAT MORNING?!

that was all within a span on an hour

[valid loom]

I mean the loners vs clear sky makes sense around post-BS which usually happens for me

[last mesa]

Nah. It's just the enemy factions. If you were a friend to freedom, but your faction wasn't they'd send out squads on your ass too, funny when it happens because you immidiately get less rep with'em if you kill'em, but otherwise you get annoying followers that constantly walk into you, unless you lead them into a firefight and make sure they die

[vast pumice]

[sinful osprey]

Well, you could be like me and accidentally make mercs and loners friendly trying to debug gatekeeper so I could do brain scorcher

Not that it matters since loners like me but it was still surreal watching them just walk past each other at the garbage checkpoint

[vast pumice]

thats too crazy for me

[sinful osprey]

If it wouldn't have fucked me on living legends I would have changed it back lmao

[vast pumice]

that kinda thing would make sense playing warfare though

enemies and allies constantly forming and falling as the war progresses

like one of them ol' survival tv shows

manipulation, betrayal, THE DRAMA AND CHAOS!

[sinful osprey]

Like merc squads are rare enough especially in the north, and since loners are friendly to me, it changes absolutely nothing about my gameplay
I'd like to think they entered some kind of truce after I opened the north back up idk

[vast pumice]

mercs be like: okay, you opened the north and that made us and our client A METRIC SHIT TON OF MONEY soooo... we're just gonna let you do your thing and keep making money!

[sinful osprey]

And I got... 30k
From discovering all the secrets of the zone

(I spent it on ammo)

[vast pumice]

"i mapped the entire zone and all i got was this t-shirt"

[sinful osprey]

I raided the cnpp and all I got was this lousy battery exo psu and 120 rounds of FMJ

[vast pumice]

the true raid were the monolith we liberated along the way

...that would be a funny mechanic though. UN-BRAINWASH monolithians with an artifact or something. convert them to your side.

WOLOLO~

[sinful osprey]

It's ok
I got a monolith nosorog from the raid
I don't need the money

[vast pumice]

pog

[prisma crag]

wait they added cars?

[sinful osprey]

Tbf dushman also gives you like, 10k for singlehandedly holding off like a company strength assault of monolith

So I shouldn't be surprised

[vast pumice]

cars were in the zone for a long time now. its just that only a few of them can be driven.

[vast pumice]

i know there are at least 3 cars you can drive in darkscape. one not far from the enterance to cordon, one in the little campsite on top of the forest and one next to the old stables with the merchant and mechanic.

[blissful ivy]

because im hearing about 2022 and 2023 versions, yet i cant update past the 2021 version

[vast pumice]

only problem is, you cannot drive the cars outside the area. they will despawn once you transition to then next area

but i think cars respawn though

[onyx raptor]

How do you get a mk47? Where’s it drop from?

[warped bay]

and you get hurt when you try it (Found out the hard way)

[vast pumice]

that part i dont remember

but i wasnt going full speed so maybe i got lucky

[sinful osprey]

I got one on a monolith in CNPP
So high ranked Monolith probably, though potentially UNISG as well

[warped bay]

Must've been why

[onyx raptor]

Okay thank ya

[warped bay]

I've been confused with renegades, so like... are they completely hostile to all factions?

[vast pumice]

yeup

[sinful osprey]

Yep

[vast pumice]

they are the scum of the zone

[warped bay]

even bandits?

[vast pumice]

the worst of the worst in every possible way

i think so, i dont think i ever saw a renegade and a bandit in the same room

[sinful osprey]

They're bandits that are outcasts... from bandits
So yeah everyone hates them

[vast pumice]

like, renegades are suppose to be bandit rejects who were too coco in the loco

[sinful osprey]

Can happen in Dark Valley at times

[blissful ivy]

welp, time to trust potentially malicious links

[vast pumice]

whats the worst that can happen?

[warped bay]

do they have a storyline or is it just freeplay like monolith?

(While I'm at it, what about sin and zombies?)

[vast pumice]

no idea, never played anyone else than free stalker

[warped bay]

dem

[vast pumice]

i would imagine they have SOME storyline or missions

[blissful ivy]

all the extras are boring

there is one for ISG

[uncut quarry]

Does gfy affect fps?

[blissful ivy]

which is OAG

from the other side

[vast pumice]

cant just through a faction all willy nilly for the shits and giggles you know. they gotta have a purpose in the zone.

[blissful ivy]

they did that tho

like 4 times

XDDD

[warped bay]

good questline or nah?

[blissful ivy]

just operation afterglow

but isg wins

instead

[warped bay]

I still haven't done afterglow yet

[blissful ivy]

its literally operation afterthought

[warped bay]

furthest I went was finishing living legend

[warped bay]

lols

[vast pumice]

so is it afterglow or afterthought?

or is it... AFTER ALL?1

[warped bay]

ain't the actual afterthought that one removed quest you could get by killing swamp doctor?

[blissful ivy]

no that one predates OAG iirc

so it was first thought up

[warped bay]

oh

[blissful ivy]

but its not in gamma unless you kill him or re-enable it

with a mod

[vast pumice]

...and now, for something completely different!

SLAY QUEEEN~

did bloodsuckers always had their claws painted?!

i never noticed

[blissful ivy]

yes

i think so

[sinful osprey]

Honestly the only reason I'm pushing to do all of them is in case I ever want to do an invictus run

But ll is 90% of the story tbh, by the time you do that you've got the gear to crush the others

[blissful ivy]

also fuck you and i hope you fall into a vortex for saying that

i mean shit the link worked

if my credit card details are stolen? idk

now once CoP installs, im good to go with a new update

new playthrough babyy

[harsh sandal]

Operation Awfully Gross

thats just a goon sesh with freedom

[valid loom]

I get burnt out by the time I start Mortal Sin. The virtual ping pong over the map sucks

[warped bay]

yea... reason I left the run after LL was because I felt too OP having an exo and FN F2000 with loads of m203 grenades

wait...

Why haven't I found any F2000 so far

This is my gear and I'm already about to hit jupiter underground... But no F2000 yet

[blissful ivy]

ew is that binos late game?

get this outta my sight

[warped bay]

yea... I probably should, next time I get back to my base

[blissful ivy]

pistol stays in knife slot

and binos stay in the trash and the knife goes in bino slot

[warped bay]

nahh

I need the knife

saved me a couple times

[blissful ivy]

yeah, put it in the bino slot

like i said

then pistol in knife slot

[warped bay]

idk man... the magnification is better than my marauder SA

[blissful ivy]

and the big slots are used for the big guns

[blissful ivy]

the formidable sniper rifle

[harsh sandal]

stop giving me stone flowers

I'm too heavyyyy

Well epi shot it is

[blissful ivy]

anyways, i got gunslinger guys :)

hope they nerfed the controllers since 2021 version

[harsh sandal]

have fun kys

[blissful ivy]

if i must, i will use the toolkit and nerf the fuckers myself

idc

[harsh sandal]

[blissful ivy]

they were bullshit in the 2021 version

[warped bay]

2 chimeras killing the sins

[blissful ivy]

ah yes, just die because they were within 40 meters

alright mf

[harsh sandal]

X-8 was fun

[blissful ivy]

what wasnt fun, was the heart of the oasis

so you can get the heart

but then you die

[harsh sandal]

[blissful ivy]

because a controller AND a psy dog spawn

so the controller makes you turn your brain to mush

and the dog just kills you

like who thought this was good design

[harsh sandal]

Me when I prenade

[blissful ivy]

am i meant to just already have something to deal with the controller before he does something?

[blissful ivy]

good luck

he eats like 4

XDD

[harsh sandal]

[blissful ivy]

or he did

it took 5 rdgs

in the tunnel mission

granted maybe i missed 1 or 2

but still, 2-3

[last mesa]

How do you dissasemble stuff fast?

[harsh sandal]

Alt

[last mesa]

And I mean fast as in no fiddling with the context menu each time

[last mesa]

Alt + double click?

[blissful ivy]

also i love how you spawn with a stalker suit at literally 5% health

why even bother dawg

shit does nothing

[warped bay]

EMPTY

[harsh sandal]

Alt inside a stash or a body iirc

[onyx raptor]

artigrok, 1911 or p220?

[blissful ivy]

doesnt p220 have bigger mag?

or was it 7

[onyx raptor]

7 bullets

[blissful ivy]

yeah 1911

looks better, but if you have a choice, neither

[onyx raptor]

I like the korth 6 custom a lot lol

[blissful ivy]

i find them mediocre

just a 1911 but better

and the usp does it better

[warped bay]

what is this for? Found it inside Jupiter underground

[onyx raptor]

I don’t have a USP yet so

[harsh sandal]

Say that again

[harsh sandal]

Doc for military questline

gotta love having every single enemy being high rank and wearing full exo

of course, 3 of them have green barrel

[warped bay]

Isn't this thing supposed to have been removed?

[harsh sandal]

yes

[warped bay]

What do I do with it then?

[harsh sandal]

cheese with them

[warped bay]

h u h

[harsh sandal]

they will make your artefacts lighter

[warped bay]

o h

wait, is there any other way to get more?

[harsh sandal]

nope

because they are supposed to be removed

It's just some quests still give them as a reward

[valid loom]

Well there is that mod that brings them back. I think it reduces most of the negative effects.

[harsh sandal]

yep

[valid loom]

Theyre craftable too, though I havent used them myself yet.

[harsh sandal]

yeah but take a lot of materials

80% psy and 85% fire res

that screenshot has to be a dense but profound social critique regarding the sad state of ui modding for stalker anomaly in the year of our lord 2025

Where can I buy a suppressor for my m4 as a merc? Maybe from the base in dead city?

[blissful ivy]

Korth guns are mid

I just did

[harsh sandal]

M1911 is garbage

[blissful ivy]

Sure

[harsh sandal]

[blissful ivy]

Idrc

Opinions are subjective

[warped bay]

Any factions that are driendly to you

[blissful ivy]

Driendly

[warped bay]

but your goodwill has to be high enough

[blissful ivy]

Also bandits might not

If youre merc

[warped bay]

really?

[blissful ivy]

Because bandits are WP

[warped bay]

oh, right

I thought they were just poor

[blissful ivy]

So they might not sell the specialty suppressor

[lethal steeple]

okay justify the 1911 before hydra

[blissful ivy]

Oh and neither will loner

[blissful ivy]

Huh? Idk man

[flat plover]

Dushman will sell it at rep level-3.

[lethal steeple]

before hydra the 1911 is one of the worst weapons in the game

[left charm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvJ91D-N29g still one of my favs and i'm sad games workshop began treatening this guy

[lethal steeple]

because it's slow, it's inaccurate

it has a low capacity

[blissful ivy]

Yeah, i didnt say it was good or bad

[onyx raptor]

Real I want a mk18 like that one in gamma so bad lol

[lethal steeple]

.45fmj is the literal worst ammo type in the game

[blissful ivy]

Opinions are subjective as i said

[lethal steeple]

i mean sure but the thing is that it's objectively bad

[blissful ivy]

20g buckshot (good on mutants tho)

[harsh sandal]

but Korth 6 is better and that's a fact

[left charm]

the ruger m4 is pretty similar

[harsh sandal]

[lethal steeple]

20g buck is more lethal than .45fmj statistically speaking even

[flat plover]

I think FWP has one.

[blissful ivy]

Yes, and opinions are not objective in nature, this aint about how good it is

[lethal steeple]

and nowadays that the stakeout is in the game, more so

[onyx raptor]

The original discussion was regarding whether I use. A1911 or or a p220, with artigrok, Which makes .45 viable

[blissful ivy]

Worse than the 106

Imo

[onyx raptor]

Ugh, sucks cause I couldn’t get that thing to work

[lethal steeple]

it's less accurate at the start

[flat plover]

Could probs find a standalone one on mod DB actually.

[blissful ivy]

I hate the lack of sights

[harsh sandal]

weak

[blissful ivy]

Which just makes it worse

[harsh sandal]

Nah it's fine for me

[lethal steeple]

the center of the screen doesn't move tho

[blissful ivy]

Stupid masochist

[onyx raptor]

Idk how tf frosty dragged the files out of the archive cause my 7zip did not allow me to do that lol

[haughty aspen]

I swear that somebody made .45 ap ammo mod somewhere in here

[onyx raptor]

Yah I was about to look

[lethal steeple]

and the barrel is aligned with the center

[blissful ivy]

Dont matter, still should have irons

[left charm]

mf has the dynamic pda mod (warning, couple whatsapp sounds)

[blissful ivy]

Even a bead at the end

[onyx raptor]

Yah it’s with artigrok.

[flat plover]

However only thing i'm seeing labelled under MK-18 is this.

[onyx raptor]

Yah that’s a beeg gun

[left charm]

this one is similar

[flat plover]

Want the link or is it the assault variant you're looking for?

[onyx raptor]

20 rounder though and a short ahh barrel

[blissful ivy]

M4 = MK18

In practice

[onyx raptor]

Would be nice yeah

[blissful ivy]

Just longer

[flat plover]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/mk-18-mjolnir-marksman-rifle-redux

Should work on GAMMA.

[blissful ivy]

Dont bother with that mod

[onyx raptor]

Oh wait I think I tried this before

My game would not load with it

[blissful ivy]

Just go to the JWD

[left charm]

how do you put that into the spawn pool ?

[flat plover]

Ah wait nevermind seeing now it needs some stuff.

[blissful ivy]

Juans weapon delivery

[flat plover]

that would conflict.

with other base gamma mods.

[left charm]

juan's crazy

[blissful ivy]

Thats why you go to juan

Not to moddb

[flat plover]

One guy for everything?
😭

[oblique reef]

Pretty sure the gun works for Gamma

[left charm]

should we ?

[blissful ivy]

Yeah makes loads of guns

[oblique reef]

Bas, Dark Signal and DLTX are in the game afaik

[blissful ivy]

@normal island

Yes

We should

[onyx raptor]

You’d think thered be a mw mk18 port somewhere considering how popular the game was

Which I believe was the exact model used in stalker contract

[flat plover]

Does he take comms or does he do this for free?

[blissful ivy]

Comms

[blissful ivy]

And a couple passion guns iirc

[harsh sandal]

let's go fire res cap pre BS

[flat plover]

Hell yeah, might see if he can do a EF-88 for me.

[blissful ivy]

You supply a model and he makes it

[blissful ivy]

In gamma already

[left charm]

what happened there

[flat plover]

That's the AUG.

Don't think they have a ACTUAL EF-88.

[harsh sandal]

capped fire res

[blissful ivy]

No, there is an ef88

[flat plover]

There is?
Is it base or a mod.

[blissful ivy]

Its the australian modified aug

[left charm]

i mean, why is all messed up

[blissful ivy]

It was in last i looked

Drops on mercs

[flat plover]

Huh gonna have to take a peak once i'm done with a fresh install.

[harsh sandal]

normal gamma UI moment

[blissful ivy]

Anyways im in the car rn

Im out

Yapping on the road is wild

[left charm]

mf texting in the car cause he wants to kill a family of four

[blissful ivy]

I do that without texting

[left charm]

then a family of seven

[blissful ivy]

Extra points i say

Also extra

And would be a new high score

[left charm]

or two families, a semi truck driver, your girlfriend and end up vegetal

[blissful ivy]

At this point he just playing PS2 Burnout

[blissful ivy]

[harsh sandal]

Does amogus quest in DV have a change to give fireball?

[blissful ivy]

Nah its twisted metal in this bitch

[warped bay]

what do these stashes contain?

[onyx raptor]

looking at jwd, which file is this?

4th rifle down left side

[normal island]

What

[oblique reef]

Was asking about the Mk18 Mjolnr iirc

[normal island]

What about it

[oblique reef]

#╓☢stalker-chat message I think they were wondering if it's compat with gamma?

[normal island]

All my guns work in gamma given that you follow my install instructions

[onyx raptor]

heya, u mind telling me what rifle is in the pic above? not sure which file it is

4th down on left side

[normal island]

The one above the STG44?

[onyx raptor]

ja

[left charm]

but

[normal island]

Remington R5

[normal island]

Not the V2

[normal island]

I know

[onyx raptor]

okay cool ty

[left charm]

it would be nice to have monoliths using zombies as meat shields ngl.

[harsh sandal]

55% rup res

Half HP is gone from a single lurker jump

Gotta love double hit attack

[wet grotto]

mixed mono-zombie squads would be neat yeah

[sinful osprey]

any way I can stop fucking Senya from using this random chimera hunter over the two guns I've given him

it's not the gun he spawned with and it doesn't show in his inventory

[radiant star]

useful idiots mod -> use assualt rifle or whatever y ouwant him to use

[sinful osprey]

i just don't get why it doesn't show in his inventory
he picked it up off a dead sin

[oblique reef]

Check the companion inventory unlock mod in MO2

[valid kernel]

I'm genuinely starting to think that I might collect one of every single artifact in the game before I get two of a kind to start repairing

[sinful osprey]

its way more efficient to have a maxed arti before you start crafting with it cause the condition carries over

[valid kernel]

Don't you need to combine two of the same one to bring the condition up though?

[sinful osprey]

yes but some higher tier artifacts are ridiculously rare without crafting them
so bring the lower tier to max then craft it to the next thing
but without doing that, good luck getting one of each

[valid kernel]

My point is I have like 15 artifacts in my stash so far and they're all different

Just whinging that I can't find two of a kind

Also, apparently not a good idea to accept a bandit defense mission on the pumping station while ALSO doing the defend the pump station from the renegades mission

Game no likey

[wild wigeon]

Wait is that how it works?

[sinful osprey]

ah
didn't know you were griping, thought it was your legit strategy lmao

[sinful osprey]

yep

[wild wigeon]

But what if you combine two artifacts

For example a full empty needs 2 diff mid tiers

[sinful osprey]

for the recipes that use more than one I'm not sure, it might average them

[valid kernel]

I think some sort of creepypasta entity might be inhabiting my game

[wild wigeon]

That's just the anomalies

[valid kernel]

I reload a save in the cs base and for a split second the professor is lying sideways and on fire before teleporting back to how he should be

It's like, a literal split second lol

[blissful ivy]

Thats not fire

Thats just the dust from collision bugging out

And the way hes sat is because he is in the sitting down animation

Hope this helps

[little summit]

Try to hug his chair trust

[wet grotto]

yeah the professor does that

don't worry about it

any ideas where this stash in the bandit base is? no luck checking the basement so far

[lethal steeple]

place a waypoint on it

[valid kernel]

Game is very anomaly-ish today

[wet grotto]

it was in the first story workshop

[harsh sandal]

Touch it

[wet grotto]

didn't know there were two stash boxes in there

[harsh sandal]

[valid kernel]

The game REALLY does not like how many corpses are inside the pumping station right now

[analog sluice]

join duty and help the world be free from the dangers of the zone

[valid kernel]

They have a duty to suck my nuts

[wet grotto]

very true

[valid kernel]

I think I'm just gonna have to take the L on this defend the pump station quest

I CANNOT complete it before the sheer amount of corpses makes the game crash

[wet grotto]

...that's honestly pretty impressive it can't be over a dozen tops

[valid kernel]

WELL

I did the mainline CS one to defend it from renegades

So all their corpses and the CS corpses were already there

Then I accepted a quest to defend it from bandits

[onyx raptor]

A waste of a nade it may be, but it was funny

[valid kernel]

An there must be at least two dozen of them

[wet grotto]

oh

[valid kernel]

and I can never quite kill all of them before the game crashes

[valid kernel]

A burer is a pretty good use for a grenade

[onyx raptor]

I suppose so but i usually save it for giants

Still

Fuck ‘em.

[sinful osprey]

I was watching the fwp showcase videos and it seems like they have a ridiculous amount of recoil for some of them

is that just me or is that part of the "old animations" that supposedly aren't so bad now

[valid kernel]

FWP?

[sinful osprey]

frosty's weapon pack
one of the more popular weapon mods

[valid kernel]

Ahhhh

Any idea how long it takes for corpses to actually disappear? lol

[oblique reef]

They should despawn on stage transition or despawn automatically once it hits a certain amount. I restarted OP Afterglow cuz some of the UNISG bodies despawned before I could loot them

[valid kernel]

Well stage transition fails the quest

So that sucks

[oblique reef]

You accepted both defending the pump station and last dawn?

[valid kernel]

I did last dawn

[oblique reef]

At worst you can maybe try turning on Debug and maybe deleting the bodies manually?

[valid kernel]

and then came back and accepted the defend mission

So all the corpses are still there

NOW the game won't even let me talk to the commander

So I think it jus REALLY doesn't want me doing this quest

It's kinda fucked how absolute shit 7N1 is and I just realized it

Like, PP has more damage and penetration but you can only use it in the pkm and pkp, not the SVD

[wet grotto]

grok hates you™️

[sonic verge]

Good morning ladies and gentlemen

im trying to get this fuck ass COP EE to work, latest patch makes it crash when you hit load game in menu

[wet grotto]

why does it feel like the rifles from jwd have a metric ton of recoil

[lethal steeple]

Looking to improve visuals in the game, is there anything i can do in the MO to add better textures etc

anyone have any reccomendations on anything visual

[harsh sandal]

The dang hangar is so cursed

Cant walk out without losing one of my legs

Walk out, 2 psysuckers, lose a leg, walk in, heal the leg
Walk out again, 4 lurkers, lose another leg

5 boars and.....

5 MORE boars

[cloud saffron]

what about 4k textures and rt lightning
i need that

https://tenor.com/view/shut-up-shut-up-b-shut-your-mouth-the-rock-wrestling-gif-12451333869298540348

[north maple]

so just change trees and grass to preference and thats it?

[normal island]

Pretty much

[north maple]

does gamma use 4k textures at default?

[sonic verge]

I want to 100% them for achievements

[sonic verge]

ATO 5 for textures, but some of them stray too far from OG and it looks strange but thats my personal opinion. check on youtube and see if you like it. i dont like some of the wood textures

and i think theyre pretty intensive, you will need decent rig for them

[north maple]

I just upgraded to a 9800x3d and 5080, so thats why i'm looking to improve the graphics

[sonic verge]

oh, youll be fine then

[north maple]

i'll check it out thank you

Cordon looking absolutely beautiful on a brand new game. First time I've updated in over a year and I can already feel the difference lol.

[valid kernel]

Wow....almost makes me wanna update too lol

If I wasn't halfway through a playthrough

I'm like, two or three versions behind so who knows if it would break my save or not

[agile epoch]

Funny thing is on my last game which I just played today I JUST got advanced tools and repaired an AK

And just before I was supposed to go to bed I was like...why don't I update lol

4 hours later here I am

[valid kernel]

Did it break your save?

[agile epoch]

Oh I just deleted them

Starting from literal 0

Even cleared my config files so I've been going through all my settings to put it back to the way it was

My reload key seems to be....not working

[valid kernel]

You didn't need that did you?

[last mesa]

No. Not Auto looter. Quick-dissasemble type stuff so that instead of looting you can quickly get rid of unwanted stuff for parts

[valid kernel]

The game constantly changing my settings without my consent is getting old fast

[agile epoch]

Not at all Comrade! Simply drag and drop the ammo onto the gun from inventory. Nyet, gun is fine!

but in reality I figured out reload was somehow bound to F10

Fix't

[last mesa]

[dawn marten]

@valid kernel If you want to keep your personal mod list between updates: #╭📖faq message

[valid kernel]

No the game just changes my physcial settings

[last mesa]

Wait. That's for the modlist, not for settings.

[valid kernel]

like Depth of field

or my fov

[last mesa]

I know

[valid kernel]

Which is REALLY annoying because the depth of field is so fucking glitchy

[last mesa]

I just forgot the command

[agile epoch]

Dude these new animations are so fkin crispy good

The detectors, the food, the medical

I'm so glad I finally updated. New experiences!

I am, however, a little disappointed the nudie magazines are gone

[valid kernel]

Man you're REALLY making me wanna update

Not cool

[last mesa]

I mean he's not wrong in the animation dept

But yeah the nudie mags were more fitting than metal band mags, although these could possibly be found as well

[valid kernel]

I have AT LEAST 30 hours in this run so far I do not wanna restart

[onyx raptor]

Jesus Christ the red forest at night is terrifying

[last mesa]

When did you last update?

[valid kernel]

I'm playing 0.9.1

[last mesa]

Okay.

So on one hand artifacts are now worse, and we have resistance caps, but we got crispier animations and enemies still feel bullet spongy to an extent

And Mutants are... mutants. I increased my damage so that a single 12x76 buckshot is able to kill a dog in a single shot, but other than that it's fairly bullet spongy too if you use any other caliber than 23x75

[valid kernel]

Hm

Well I can USUALLY kill a dog with a single .357 as it is right now

Headshot at least

[last mesa]

Damn

[agile epoch]

Thats what I like about GAMMA. Nearly the entire difficulty of the game is configurable. You can contour the difficulty curve to match your desired playstyle.

[last mesa]

I set my bullet damage against muties at 1.3, so they wouldn't be so bullet spongy, but also not too fragile

[last mesa]

Not really. Not when it comes to human enemies at least

[agile epoch]

I've only killed a few boars on this go-around and they seem relatively normal to me. Using 9x18 FMJ took me nearly a full magazine to kill one, which is about how it felt before. I guess once I get a shotty or another pistol like a 1911 I'll be able to better tell how much more, or less, tanky things are compared to what I updated from.

buuuut now I really at least need to try to sleep

It's nearly 4:30am for me :<

son of a

you have to be kidding me

My game crashed, I loaded the game back to my last save and it was at the campfire at the fire tunnel

[valid crater]

That is not a wise choice of place to make a savegame.

[harsh sandal]

Of course it loaded with the fire ball at its starting location not its current location at the time I saved

Aka I spawned with a fireball inside my body

Instant death

[valid crater]

Well, take an older savegame, or use autosaves aswell.

[harsh sandal]

Obviously

Lost one life for suck a bs reason

Welp. Such is life in the zone

[harsh sandal]

Well, it's time to make a back up

In case I lose my last life

Gotta love dying to world spawn in this game

Also a quick tip for all artifact hunters out there. Pop a medkit (cheap one) when going into any chemical or thermal field. Seriously. Suit resistances aside it's nice not to have your camera sway constantly from passive damage of a thermal or chemical field. Electric is way nicer on that, but for harsher ones I'd recommend that as well

And watch your limb health

Your torso can get nuked before your health run out sometimes so better watch out

Is there some underground section in Meadows im not aware of? Im doing a missing signal mission, im supposed to find a missing squad, and i just cant find them

[harsh sandal]

nope

Have you checked the village?

[last mesa]

That won't be an issue really if you're in there for the medkits duration I realized. It's nice for those 30 seconds

[harsh sandal]

No I mean it

[lusty gate]

the signal points to the psy area, but at this point ill double check

[harsh sandal]

enter it from the north

the otherside of the long building

[last mesa]

And for psi fields pop etperazine instead

[lusty gate]

wait thats a thing?

[last mesa]

Might not be the best solution but it's the only viable option midgame

[lusty gate]

yeah im currently on a timer
