If I'm in a 9x39 mood I usually reach for the SR-3M

Thing just looks smexy

[radiant dawn]

SR3-M it's just AS Val without silencer

And 30 ammo mag

[valid kernel]

Yeah but you can put a silencer on it

[radiant dawn]

AS val on crack

[valid kernel]

It's like an AS val and a proper AK got slammed together

[radiant dawn]

Well, ЦНИИТОЧМАШ made AS Val inspired by AK

(I'll not gonna translate the factory name)

And they made a SR1-M

[valid kernel]

God damn exo batteries drain fast

[radiant dawn]

Craft Battery artifact power element

It's like 800 energy

[valid kernel]

400

just crafted it lol

[radiant dawn]

But 50% of drain speed

So it's like 800 potential

[valid kernel]

Yeah it ain't bad

[radiant dawn]

It is best option

[valid kernel]

but my poor meiserly brain can't handle it

[radiant dawn]

Stop jumping around, bozo, it's draining by that

[valid kernel]

I gotta go run jobs anyways

[radiant dawn]

Run, don't jump+run

[valid kernel]

I just spent 150 000 repairing the fucking thing....

[radiant dawn]

Worth it?

[valid kernel]

Time to stick it in a closet and go run around the map lol

Then I'll use it

[radiant dawn]

Stock with 10-12 batteries for exo

And you will be ok

For the rest of the game

It's like 1 game day, lol

[valid kernel]

Perchance

[mental furnace]

yo thats free stove

[valid kernel]

I'll save it for mortal sin once I've got some cash

[radiant dawn]

I use stove from crafting table

Gas powered Soviet stove

Cuz I can put ingredients in that

But stalkers gave me 15 Russian MRE

bro got long arms

[forest grotto]

Hello boys. Haven't been around for a while, what happened to the invictus channel?

[random grail]

Reduced to atoms

[mental furnace]

dead reduced to atoms

[mental furnace]

[random grail]

Same as soulslike channel but who cared about that

[forest grotto]

fug

bu..but where am i going to get the boys hyped that i found a green barrel makarov

https://tenor.com/view/long-tears-gif-11087877242190144149

[radiant dawn]

I TRUSTED YOU BUT...
WHY MAKAROV KNOWS YOU

[last mesa]

Ngl. If anything Stalker has perfected stealth.

[forest grotto]

i was young....and...patriotic...

[last mesa]

Fire off a killshot, sneak away, enemies keep their guns trained at your last known location (silenced gunshot sound), some advance, some stay behind, pop the one of the ones that stayed behind and then rip and tear with your silenced gun the rest of the defending squad, the advancing guys turn to fire at you but you already have their heads on the chevron of your scope and then pop, silence. Entire squad decimated by a sneaky loner

[mental furnace]

that enough gamma for today time to play heart of peak

[last mesa]

And Milspec PDA? for the grenade throwing

[blissful ivy]

i prefer to have them not even GET a last known location

i wait for them to move/confirm theyre staying in their positions, then i shoot one that none of them are looking at, and systematically kill them 1 by 1, until theyve all just died

my suppressed obrez mosin excels at this

[hushed flint]

hank hill would beat yujiro hanmas ass

[haughty stone]

So is it intended that Gamma takes place in 2018?

[harsh sandal]

I care

Invictus in my heart

[mental furnace]

its not about channel its about eeeeeh uuuuuuuuuh

[celest sparrow]

That's just Anomaly lore stuff

[harsh sandal]

Yeah I'm thinking invictus invictus oh eh ohhhh

[haughty stone]

So Grok hasn't set a date?

[celest sparrow]

No

Sometimes #1092834455300866068 is wonderful

[harsh sandal]

Me using it every single run

[mental furnace]

speaking right there

[celest sparrow]

Okay be serious, do you really think people don't use it cause of the weight

[mental furnace]

[celest sparrow]

Like how do you come up with that conclusion

[mental furnace]

[celest sparrow]

I doubt it's even a contributing factor

I would understand if it was FreeZoom or the early access to decent Scopes to be the reason, but the weight?

[haughty stone]

He probably carries around LLC's and powder cans without realising it

[celest sparrow]

Even then how the fuck do you end up thinking that the weight of binoculars is the issue

Watch them come up with "Well if they barely weight anything, why not just make them weight nothing at all?"

[mental furnace]

[mental furnace]

next patch notes: Increased carry weight by 2kg so people use binoculars more often

[cursive bone]

what's going on?

[weary cedar]

what

oh binos

how much do they even weigh

0.33 kg?

[harsh sandal]

Lol no

It weights like 1kg and 0.5kg with upgrade iirc

[weary cedar]

1kg binos is lowk crazy

[mental furnace]

[weary cedar]

but i dont understand how thats crippling

[harsh sandal]

[nimble ingot]

What's going on here lmfao

[hybrid pelican]

when's the next update scheduled for? does it have an eta?

[harsh sandal]

No idea

You could ask grok instead

[hybrid pelican]

they really

gotta add dismemberment to stalker

i just love the gorey element of it

[weary cedar]

i think

theres a mod

i have it installed

need to find it

[hybrid pelican]

thank you

[weary cedar]

also why does this author (billwa) keep linking the 28 days later gas station scene

is this an inside joke im missing out on

[mental furnace]

idk ask him

[weary cedar]

im not gonna ask him, im scared to be linked to another 28 days later gas station scene

[mental furnace]

[humble shoal]

imo the main reason , is that there is just no slot for it

[weary cedar]

the vision slot:

[humble shoal]

its the knife slot

[weary cedar]

who carries 3 guns

except for me

[hybrid pelican]

yooo we need 28 days later inspired mutants

[humble shoal]

true , i carry 4

[weary cedar]

4

you do not need 4

[hybrid pelican]

would add another level of fear to the game to hear screeching rage zombies

[weary cedar]

you do not need a SMG, shotgun and rifle + pistol

or whatever your setup is

[humble shoal]

id like to have 1 more weapon slot , so i can have 5 guns

and axe

[mental furnace]

[weary cedar]

wheres the other one

[mental furnace]

[humble shoal]

even better this way

gamma needs akimbo

SORRY NINE THIS ONE POUNCED WHEN I WAS LOOTING

[weary cedar]

insane find on a dutyer

[blissful ivy]

that wouldnt make me use them, it would just make them an ignored item that weighs nothing

because im not sacrificing my ability to have a handgun, 2 long guns, and a knife

[mental furnace]

big stonks

[blissful ivy]

how much is it worth anyway?

i dont remember

[mental furnace]

its rng

[blissful ivy]

its like 20k right?

10-20?

because i got 10k

so its ass ngl

i could get 10k off one enemy elimination task

maybe 2 tasks

at worst

[mental furnace]

bro complaning about ez 10k

[blissful ivy]

i am

[mental furnace]

fakest canadian

[blissful ivy]

because that shit is nothing

canadian

[harsh sandal]

From 10 to 20k

[blissful ivy]

anyways, idgaf about a 10k pda that i got once in like 400 hours

[harsh sandal]

Or more

[blissful ivy]

if its gonna be that annoying to get my hands on, it better be 50k+

but its not, so idc

its like "oh neat, that one was worth more than usual... anyways gonna go kill people for more than that got me"

[mental furnace]

thats the point

gacha stays strong in me SHOOT

[halcyon cave]

how does one place shit normally

cause idk how the fuck im supposed to move a wall lamp to the correct position, its flipped upwards and I need it on its side to actually place it on a wall normally

wtf is this bs bruh

even with advanced mode

there is no option move along the correct axis

would grok know

same with a wall sconse

wait

[green shale]

advanced placement mode, press Capslock to toggle surface alignment.

[halcyon cave]

yup

was just about to ask that

my bad twin

thank you

[weary cedar]

i am mercing it

i dont know why it does this with the AK-100's

[halcyon cave]

how do I get a stupid ai from constantly walking in and out of my house, istg im gonna fucking kill every ecologist on instagram live if this fucking NERD DOESNT FUCK OFF

GET OUT OF MY FUCKING HOUSE

[vast pumice]

mom said its my turn on the xbox

[halcyon cave]

yeah

[vast pumice]

oof, i dunno. never really had a base per say and i always tell companions to stay before i enter a building

[halcyon cave]

i did this to keep him in, btw, where should I put the couch and tv in this room without interfering with the cozy aesthetics of the furnace and carpet?

[vast pumice]

[halcyon cave]

I will keep him out later but I needed a quick fix while I finish the house

[vast pumice]

couch in the corner, tv on top of the furnace is what i would do

top right corner that is

just like back in babushka's house in the 90s

[novel junco]

Is there a version of "Talk To Everyone" that doesnt allow you to talk to enemies? Its really annoying when playing with Dotmarks addon

[halcyon cave]

I would but I think the logic there isnt sound cause the tv may overheat (logically, not in game of course)

[weary cedar]

i dont think

[halcyon cave]

also almost done with the kitchen

[weary cedar]

in vanilla anomaly you were able to talk to enemies (im very sure)

if they werent busy shooting you

[halcyon cave]

im gonna put the dinner table and living room in the same place I think

[novel junco]

Not true

[halcyon cave]

Im gonna put the couch and tv there I think

[weary cedar]

is it not?

i remember talking to some enemy in anomaly

[halcyon cave]

roughly this but I think its too empty and boring

[weary cedar]

unless it was my modpack

[halcyon cave]

so ill put a coffee table and another couch there

[novel junco]

You can only talk to squad leaders, traders and task givers by default

[halcyon cave]

and then a couch in the furnace room for some cozyness

im lowk the interior decorator

bedroom is looking fire

[weary cedar]

oh well

i dont know

i believe there isnt though

also what animation set does gamma use for the abakan

cant find any abakan mods anywhere

[halcyon cave]

ok genuinely how do I get the ai to get out of the house?

he wont leave a specfic room and keeps pacing around

I dont want to break relations with the ecologists by killing him

every time I try to load in

am I cooked

is this fixable or like a red ring of death

verify installed version?

would that help? does that delete save data?

@muted ibex could I get some help with this in modded gamma support?

[frank oxide]

If your save crashes after updating GAMMA and shows an error like:
Description: no renderer type set for hanging-lamp
Arguments: placeable_light657345
Then do the following:

1. Download the new engine executables from this link:
   https://github.com/themrdemonized/xray-monolith/releases/download/2025.7.5/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes_2025.7.5.zip
2. Extract the contents of the archive into your Anomaly folder.
   Confirm file replacement when prompted.
3. Launch the game via MO2
4. Once in the main menu use ~ to open console and type the following command: hanging_lamp_ignore_match_configuration 1
5. Load into your savefile, enter your Hideout/Home, and remove any placed light sources and TVs.
   Your console will send out prints for "Hanging lamp" if any are still present in your hideout.
6. Save your game once all light sources were removed.

If you updated the game after July 1st then ignore step 1 and 2

[graceful fulcrum]

Oflin is the wish granter...

[halcyon cave]

I did update after the first BUT im doing that anyways just to be safe

I think there might be a lamp stuck in the ceiling that you cant see

yup

[green shale]

you cannot because NPC paths are hard baked into maps.

[weary cedar]

how do i get bas parts correctly.. I have Luna's Master

[halcyon cave]

I fixed it by putting a chair in front of the door

also, I had the saiga crash

plus the light error happened again

I assume once you do the fix you cant re-place the lights?

[green shale]

you should be able to

[halcyon cave]

damn..

it worked at first

and then after I picked up my saiga from my companion's inventory it crashed but when I reloaded the save it did the light crash

im updating the game again

[halcyon cave]

should I not reenable it with hanging_lamp_ignore_match_configuration 0

cause from the turtle bot or whatever its called said to reenable it but ofline said not to

im inclined to believe oflin over the bot

im just looking for clarification btw

[green shale]

it spams out the crash log

[halcyon cave]

so no?

[buoyant vapor]

1st stash in outskirts, the bag inside syndicate base

[kindred mauve]

it's not an AK, but for the first looted gun of the run, I can hardly complain

definitely a good backup project

got a monolithian "Problematic Stalker" show up in Army Warehouses, two shots from the KAR-98 ended discussions prematurely.

[weary cedar]

awesome

[rich moss]

Remember guys, the quick pin system exists and quick pins can be fast travelled to

[halcyon cave]

what modifications do I need to make to make the unisg nasarog exo work?

[stark wyvern]

recharge it with a battery, and do the "Servomotor Boosters" upgrade which allows you to sprint

[halcyon cave]

how do I get the boosters? do I craft it or do I just hope I find them?

[stark wyvern]

its just a random upgrade, get a upgrade kit and upgrade the suit

no need for any special items or smt

[halcyon cave]

alrighty

thanks

[last mesa]

Suppressed Obrez Mosin!? Heresy!

[last mesa]

Who doesn't use binoculars?

[harsh sandal]

I cant live without binocular

[twin slate]

I do not use binos at all lmfao

[static dune]

is it worth upgrading RD-74N to 5.56 ammo for killing Monolith?
5.45 variant is 40 dmg, 903 muzzle velocity, 47 BR ammo
5.56 variant is 37dmg, 964 muzzle velocity, 52 BR ammo

[harsh sandal]

Laptop screen, ultra low graphic, 3/10 eye sight, silly challenge that might not allow me to use sights and scopes

Yeah I must use binocular

[celest sparrow]

It won't make much of a difference if you use FMJ

[twin slate]

nerfed

[celest sparrow]

But I guess it will if you use AP

By like 1 bullet

[harsh sandal]

Also invictus so no room for mistake

Seeing what around you is extremely important

[static dune]

well just want to understand if 3dmg>5 BR in the same BR ammo class or not

it's definitely 2dmg more than other 5.56 riffles

[twin slate]

I always have a scoped weapon but ig its different with my setup, I like to put knife in bino slot

[static dune]

but it's 3 dmg more than other 5.45 weapons

[harsh sandal]

Nothing is wrong with that

I wont touch bino that much if I have a high end scope

[twin slate]

anything 4x then no need for binos but high end scopes are expensive and rare

[harsh sandal]

Not really

You can upgrade bino to zoom further

Which is often every easy to do

[static dune]

just stuck near workbench and trying to figure out which is more dps with AP ammo into high armored Monolith

[twin slate]

all about prefrence

[harsh sandal]

Yep

[twin slate]

rn I can't find fuckin electric parts

[harsh sandal]

But I like to have a bino early game, it's dirt cheap

[static dune]

if we take exohelmet for example with 50 BR then 5.45 not penetrates it but 5.56 should penetrate it so it's more likely oneshot into head with 37 dmg?

[harsh sandal]

I dont use freezoom too

[proud hare]

I use it in early game. Once I have a decent scope it gets abandoned.

[harsh sandal]

Yeah nothing wrong again

[static dune]

still using it, 20x magnification is no joke compared to 8x scopes

[static dune]

allows to find enemy pixels behind grass/leaves in Limansk at night

[harsh sandal]

Well it's very light with upgrade so I just keep it in my inventory till I need it again

[lunar cloak]

anyone know the mod that has the prone arm animation in it?

I know it's in gamma but just disabled

unless another poster lied to me

[kindred mauve]

Just ran out of meds in truck cemetary with a broken leg.

I am fucked.

[last mesa]

Fuuuuuuuck

The file where I recorded how I take down a squad of Sinners and Zombified is too large to be sent here. Crap'

But damn the 20 rounds in AS Vals is really not enough to shred multiple Sinners

I literally swapped to my 9x19 HP PM to finish off a flinching Sinner after a burst to the torso from the AS Val xD

Also. There are no safe spots to sleep in Generators? Awww...

[weary cedar]

why do crates crash my game so much auhhhhh

[last mesa]

I guess I'm popping Epi and using NVGs for the next few hours

No artefacts in the Meatgrinder is dissapointing AF

[sick yoke]

Npc armor has different numbers than player armor so no it wouldn’t do that

Just use whichever one you have more of honestly

Practically the same

[river parcel]

RD-74N with both 5.56 AP and 5.45 AP kills a nosorog monolith in 3 bullets and 8 bullets with headshots / torso shots respectively. The upgrade basically doesn't matter at all.

Even against sin there's no breakpoint difference

if you're shooting at specifically UNISG Exoskeletons, you will get a 1 bullet difference on torso shots in favor of 5.56

[weary cedar]

its what you have more of\

[ocean shore]

I have no idea how but the game looks even better (and somehow runs better) with SSS 23
genuinely can't tell if something was wrong with my graphics settings prior to update or if the game was supposed to look like that compared to current shaders

[small ermine]

Spoiler
Npc nosorog helmets are br 35

[dusk pumice]

guys where do i find a lot of un guys i need to norosog

find*

[valid kernel]

The oasis entrance by the train tunnel in Jupiter seems to spawn them a lot

That's where I got my nosorog

Does the heart of the oasis ever respawn or is it just a one time freebee

[small ermine]

1time

[quick tangle]

it is safe to abort gamma install and continue next time, if I remember correctly?
I have no idea why the speed is so shit.

[quick tangle]

There's still ballistic resistance.

[green shale]

yes it is. the answer is "moddb servers"

[lethal steeple]

which does not apply to npcs

[quick tangle]

wait, npc's dont get res?
I vaguely remember something about it being a thing even in earlier stalkers, like when exosuit guys were tanking headshots before the whole BR/AP tier business.

and well, same here even on high AP weapons that are supposed to penetrate, last I played Gamma or other Anomaly based modpacks. Otherwise high BR rating rounds would just oneshot, no?

[river parcel]

they just have a big ass HP pool and where you hit them on their body applies a modifier to your damage. there's also faction specific resistances applied over top of that

[celest sparrow]

They don't have a large HP pool

[river parcel]

it's not that large, but it's one pool

[celest sparrow]

It's 100 HP regardless of who you fight

[river parcel]

the intent was just to signify that the different body segments were all connected to the same source of HP

and it's not divided into smaller pools that can each trigger a kill

[celest sparrow]

Poorly explained

[river parcel]

fair enough

[small ermine]

[celest sparrow]

You get an F in GBOlogy

[river parcel]

is there extra credit?

[small ermine]

Yes what's the "BR" of npc nosorogs

[river parcel]

where are you shooting them

[small ermine]

Torso

[river parcel]

uhhhh, 65?

[small ermine]

❌

[last mesa]

Damage multipliers depending on what body part you hit. Firing at a foot is not as effective as firing at a forehead

[sick yoke]

80

[small ermine]

✅

[last mesa]

Add to that armor profiles that further negated damage to an extent and you get why they feel like bullet sponges unless you hit them in the head

[small ermine]

And the AP penalty for them being nosorogs

[last mesa]

I was talking vanilla. GBO adds BR pool for each body part, and until it is depleted you will deal around 5% of the normal damage you'd normally dish out

[sick yoke]

Every armor has that

Just to lesser degrees

[last mesa]

Don't quote me on the 5% tho. I am not sure how much that was exactly

[blissful ivy]

how is that heresy

i believe that is downright imperial

[last mesa]

Obrez

That is enough said

[blissful ivy]

obrez mosin is top, i wont be hearing other opinions

[last mesa]

Whatever

I stick to the soviet guns in a way they should be. Fully intact!

[acoustic delta]

Jesus Christmas I have an hour to play and 20 minutes is just launching the game

[last mesa]

XD

[river parcel]

interestingly I double checked with veerserif's damage calc page and it does just list NPC Nosorog torso at 65 before modifiers

are the multiple modifiers additive or multiplicative, by the way?

[blissful ivy]

the obrez mosin wasnt homemade

mosin pistols were a real thing in WWI

so nice try there lad

[sick yoke]

I mean

Unless the obrez wasn’t just people sawing the barrel and stock of a Mosin geo didn’t say anything wrong

A “fully intact” mosin is a mosin with a barrel and stock

The obrez no longer fits that definition

[blissful ivy]

i mean, the original obrez

like so

is a REAL creation by soviet gunsmiths

why anyone would want this ^

[sick yoke]

Yeah was that not just them sawing the barrel and stock

[blissful ivy]

is beyond me

[valid kernel]

You mean Tsar gunsmiths?

[blissful ivy]

no, that looks too refined to just be sawed off

[small ermine]

Short gun funny tho

[blissful ivy]

and to saw off a gun, you have to make sure that where you cut isnt gonna fuck up rifling

or else accuracy goes down even MORE than it already did when you took off 75% of the barrel

[sick yoke]

Got to be honest with you

I don’t think people in the 1920s knew what a ballistic coefficient was

Or particularly cared about the accuracy of a gun they made for close range

As long as it’s somewhere in the ballpark of “can probably hit a guy 10m away” or something like that

[small ermine]

I think they had a good grasp of it given its the same theory for artillery and that was used plenty in ww1

[stray adder]

you dont have to, depending what part of the south

you can just go yantar -> agroprom -> garbage -> wherever basically

Yeah, but doesn't the agroprom to yantar route put you into miracle machine radious?

[blissful ivy]

no

[kindred mauve]

which is instant death for me, considering I'm still using this as a loadout.

huh

[blissful ivy]

literally safe

[fiery sparrow]

the damn thing hasnt dropped for me in like 10 playthroughs

[blissful ivy]

yantar is fine, if you use the SW entrance to yantar

dont use the main one

in gamma they got a mod that adds a couple new ones, that being one

[kindred mauve]

doesn't the SW entrance to Yantar bring you pretty close to Military Base?

which would also mean almost instant death for me?

I feel like slipping through from Freedom base and the western side of Truck Cemetary and then on through Dark Valley past Bandit base means I have almost nothing to worry about besides Truck Cemetary

[blissful ivy]

no theres no military in yantar the fuck you talking about

snorks and fractures, yes

[kindred mauve]

Agroprom.

[blissful ivy]

but you have a shotgun

no i mean to yantar from dead city

[kindred mauve]

no need to be rude, man.

I have probably a 10th of your hours in gamma

it's still mostly new to me

[blissful ivy]

well im talking about yantar, and how to get there, like said, and youre talking about agroprom, which i mentioned a while ago

10th... maybe

[kindred mauve]

Man, never thought I'd be put down for talking about routes in a solo game.

[dusk pumice]

my fav weapon at the moment

[fiery sparrow]

dont take anything atrox says personally. i dont think i have ever had one cordial conversation with the guy

[kindred mauve]

some people are just incorrigible assholes

I'll learn to live with it

[fiery sparrow]

i sadly became a UBGL truther and the damn AK103 keeps dropping

goodbye entire squad with one trigger pull

[solar chasm]

5.45hp buffs? That makes me happy

[blissful ivy]

[blissful ivy]

im absolutely crying bro, how could you say that

[solar chasm]

What's wrong with the rd939?

[fiery sparrow]

its a 9x39 gun that is also good and also its a 9x39 gun

thats my best guess

[blissful ivy]

i love trying to help people and getting called an asshole, not my fault you lack reading comprehension

[blissful ivy]

ugly motherfucker it is

[fiery sparrow]

you are just a little aggresive man

[blissful ivy]

im not a patient person

[weary idol]

too based

[blissful ivy]

and when someone misunderstands something simple, it bugs me

[fiery sparrow]

simple to you doesnt mean simple to them, especially factoring experience

[weary idol]

why tf you in this server then 😭 none of us can read

[kindred mauve]

"Simple" to a 3000 hour player is different to "Simple" for a 30 hour player.

It's not anyone else's fault your didn't go for an autism test

[blissful ivy]

its reading dawg

[fiery sparrow]

[weary idol]

silence, 2023 join dates

[fiery sparrow]

[weary idol]

owned

[twin slate]

[solar chasm]

Anyway

[weary idol]

wait we're actually pretty close in join date

[fiery sparrow]

in my defense. i did not have a pc until then.

i swear

i was here right before the great explosion

[weary idol]

shouldve just been grindsetting harder, bought a house when you were 6

[celest sparrow]

I should have started when I was 4

[twin slate]

yeah been here awhile but most of this server no life gamma and talk shit so I only pop in for updates

[solar chasm]

To give an actual concise answer, southwest dead city to northwest yantar doesn't put you into mm emission range, and agro generally only has a few loners in the north complex

[fiery sparrow]

shoulda invested in btc when i was 7 man what was i doin

[celest sparrow]

REAL

[sick yoke]

Lmao

[weary idol]

best way to get to yantar is thru wild territory since theres a garbage entrance into a safe area with no enemies around it\

[solar chasm]

So yeah moving from dead city to the south isn't really that difficult

[weary idol]

agroprom entrance is a lil harder because controllers can spawn

dead city has 2, one is instant death, the other is p much the same as the agroprom entrance

[solar chasm]

Oooh nice easy brain game completion

$$

[celest sparrow]

Brain Game is always taken before raiding MM

[weary idol]

yeah literally if you roll well you can complete brain game in like under a minute

[solar chasm]

Refreshes daily

[twin slate]

so fuckin REAL

[weary idol]

you can stack brain games btw

[celest sparrow]

[solar chasm]

Take it before agro underground

[fiery sparrow]

ofc the first time i bother to repair a coonan 357 is when sss23 creates so much bloom it feels like i am aiming with a flashlight pointed the wrong direction

[weary idol]

take it in general, its one of the ebst paying, easiest missions

[fiery sparrow]

how many dead mutants are in this picture

lets try again

i lowkey want to update for the ammo changes for 5.56 and 5.45

[blissful ivy]

me when i change the things i do want

[fiery sparrow]

if i knew exactly how i would

prob not too hard, ive added guns to starting loadouts

[twin slate]

pull the script go to config,items, weapons, ammo addons, change the bullet vel/damage

[kindred mauve]

I have turned off my minimap and have no idea how to reenable it.

[twin slate]

number pad enter

[kindred mauve]

weirdly enough, this only shows my ammo count and psi bar

no minimap

despite the fact it was working earlier

[twin slate]

oh lmfao its num pad enter by default for me

[kindred mauve]

especially annoying since I just got Kiltrak

[last mesa]

Slash. Should be by the right shift

[kindred mauve]

a god amongst men makes himself known

[weary idol]

imagine needing kiltrak, just use that one junkifact that teleports you to the corpse

[fiery sparrow]

where would the script be located?

[kindred mauve]

look, man, It's not my fault I've only managed to turn up 6 million transistors and not only like 3 artifacts

well, it probably is

but as we've established, I am terrible at this game

and I am Ok with that because we all have to start somewhere

[twin slate]

depends if its a mod or base game info if its base game go to anomaly download and unpack it if its a mod you gotta go through the trouble to find the right mod

[dusk summit]

I like kiltrak. It's pretty useful

Then again I did think the newer PDAs would tell you the ammount of people in the map that you need to dispatch

[weary idol]

I just use the upgrade to find recruitable stalkers

[dusk summit]

Fair. I got Hip though so she's all I need tbh

Mf once tanked a pseudogiant while I stabbed it in the ass

[weary idol]

simp

i murder da beetch

[dusk summit]

Idgaf

[dusk summit]

Mean

[fiery sparrow]

you wouldnt happen to know roughly where the 5.45 and 5.56 ones would be since you have done 9x39 ones? inside anomaly?

[weary idol]

gotta unpack anoamly don't use the mods

[dusk summit]

Wdym

[dusk summit]

No pls

Who wil carry all my shit

And tank pseudogiants while I stab them in the ass

[twin slate]

look up how to unpack anomaly and change the base game values yourself that shit he showed you is only for the mod pack

[nimble ingot]

We have another Hip apologist

[last mesa]

Me and my 4 companions casually killing and looting Monolith like the urban lootbags. Upgrade from Mercs lol

[fiery sparrow]

gotcha, i felt as if i was missing a step

[celest sparrow]

Are you even playing GAMMA

[fiery sparrow]

yeah?

[celest sparrow]

#📢development message And you want to add these changes, right?

[twin slate]

no he wants to be able to tweak shit himself

[fiery sparrow]

myself without interrupting my saves etc, yeah

and maybe more

[dusk summit]

Yes, and?

[twin slate]

teach a man to fish feed him for life

[celest sparrow]

Here you go

[nimble ingot]

There's many gooner hip mods.

[dusk summit]

As far as I could see there's only the one for giving her lipstick and turning her into a redhead and also the one to turn her into Anna Miller

[nimble ingot]

NGL she's tanky.

[fiery sparrow]

[dusk summit]

Just using her regular skin anyways

[dusk summit]

My point exactly

Was holding her own against a pseudogiant while I stabbed it in the ass after it took all my ammo

[celest sparrow]

https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/ Talks about the parameters more
But k_hit is the Damage Multiplier and k_ap is Armor Penetration

[twin slate]

thats a good site

[celest sparrow]

You don't need to unpack anything

[fiery sparrow]

the more i look into all the things to change for myself i wonder if i should spend the time to make some kinda mod for funsies

[celest sparrow]

It's always fun to try something out

[kindred mauve]

how does one turn off enemy health bars? is there a hotkey for that one too?

[twin slate]

you can make the 1911 shoot .338

[kindred mauve]

Fucking around with keybinds has not helped me

[celest sparrow]

It's within your settings

[fiery sparrow]

sidebar, rip the 5.56 steyr scout in gamma

[celest sparrow]

You can restore it by adding it back to Loadouts, but it probably doesn't have 3DSS which you need a patch for

[fiery sparrow]

5.56 snipers are entirely busted when given raised damage though, looking at you SVD conversion

[celest sparrow]

It's due to 5.56s Damage Multiplier being higher than 7.62x54r

[fiery sparrow]

i was gobsmacked the first time i had used that thing

[celest sparrow]

Damage displayed is (k_hit * weapon hit_power) / 1.5 or some shit like that

[fiery sparrow]

all of this and then a great change to rad damage drops

i will fool around with this to see what i can learn and then update anyway

[sharp coyote]

Wow, big boy chat. I wonder what it's like in here.

[fiery sparrow]

marginally less unhinged than newbie chat

[oblique reef]

Far less active

[celest sparrow]

https://cdn.7tv.app/emote/01JX1E2VV5WW0N3CXJRXQ0JQVX/1x.webp

[nimble ingot]

Though it's a lot more active the last few days.

[fiery sparrow]

id be a veteran rank if #💣tarkov-released gave xp

[nimble ingot]

Was tons more active when invictus runs were a thing.

[sharp coyote]

It's.. Calm.

[fiery sparrow]

invictus chat got blown up

[sharp coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-accepting-fate-tiktok-at-peace-gif-567488341419321713

[fiery sparrow]

rip gone too soon

(i was never there apparently it was awful)

[nimble ingot]

All because of a badge that people cheated to get for fake clout

Was it?

[fiery sparrow]

elitism in my stalkercord

just think about that for a moment

a chat with nothing but the sweatiest, most bitchless stalker players

somehow

[nimble ingot]

Hmm

[fiery sparrow]

its like newbies chat but everyone knows everything about the game and everyone else is clearly stupid

[celest sparrow]

#╓☢stalker-chat Ends up being hate on GAMMA while the next hot take shows up to shit on it

[fiery sparrow]

this is true

[nimble ingot]

Yeah, seen that now and again.

Dunno why tho

[fiery sparrow]

i normally just dwell in tarkov chat anyway

[sharp coyote]

I just like the calmer, slower chat style tbh. Twitch Chat Newbie Chat is a little crazy for me

The flame war was kind of fun, I'm glad I got to witness that.

[strong sable]

Come here to complain about not being able to get a nosorog on your ironman run

[nimble ingot]

Pick your channel, flames somewhere

[sharp coyote]

I actually wanted to ask a question to the slower chat in earnest though- How y'all feel about the OG vibe of lower attachment, only-what-you-need kind of STALKER vs the Tacticool, High Speed Low Drag vibes?

I feel like this convo came up like.. A year ago in the community and then fell away way too quickly. I thought it was an interesting point that didn't get brought up enough (at least in my circles)

[nimble ingot]

Depends on the mood tbh in short.

[fiery sparrow]

i think both can exist perfectly fine and that its a kinda stupid thing to have an argument about

[sharp coyote]

God damn actually good takes okay.

I swear to God I watched a war start over this conversation when it first popped up.

[fiery sparrow]

there was a big stink about grok removing the HERA m4 a while back

so that was kinda the tipping point

it was a very, very strong ar

but didnt have a gl iirc

grok removed because mall ninja-y

[sharp coyote]

It's like the two sides are 'Cold War Era STALKER' or 'Airsofter'

[nimble ingot]

I uh.. added that back in on my 0.9.1 copy

[fiery sparrow]

lotta people did

i mean

gun was good

but 5.56 is kinda ass

so i didnt really care

[nimble ingot]

Tbh it's a single player game, people can do w/e the fuck they want.

But for consistency it is. It is cool to know if you play base gamma your on the same terms as others

[fiery sparrow]

and at the same time, its groks modpack to do whatever he wants

[nimble ingot]

So sides to a coin there.

[celest sparrow]

#📢development message I have to test this out soon

[fiery sparrow]

yep

[sharp coyote]

I can't stick to a single gun. I have to have a stash full of guns and suits because I can't just find a gun I like and stick to it, so I'll run a blinged out NATO weapon of some sort for a while, but then I want to switch vibes and just run a slightly upgraded '74u for a while after that. I love both sides there, y'know?

[severe belfry]

is it just me or does monolith have worse loot?

[green shale]

it's whatever but the latter is pushing an engine and a game that wasn't originally designed for it to the limit

[fiery sparrow]

i think we were talking about guns

but yeah

[green shale]

but if you mean "literally just single gun mods" rather than "expecting an attachment system" truly it's whatever

do what you want etc.

[sharp coyote]

I have a friend who rushes to find an AN-94 and will then will never touch another gun again. He's just happy there because " It's good enough, why would I get something else? " And I mean that's valid, but like..

Variety..

[fiery sparrow]

tarkov is a really fun game for me because i literally never run the same gun over and over unless i have to

i do this in any shooter i can

[nimble ingot]

I mean it's their playstyle really, whatever makes your run fun to do.

[fiery sparrow]

a bit higher effort in gamma

but its also part of the reward

its why i like fwp

[nimble ingot]

I had UGP installed on my old copy, still got it and it's lots of fun but balanced? No.

[sharp coyote]

I have a completely unmodded Gamma right now, other than touching some of the optional files.

I'm terrified to press further lol

[fiery sparrow]

fwp, lass, ccon grass, some lut edits and thats about it for me

oh, and anus +its addition pack and radio remastered

i like more npc names

the gilboa MXT from juan that you may or may not have in that UGP install is something i commissioned

[sharp coyote]

I like to make up stories and shit in my head for this game to keep my run fresh, so after I turned the miracle machine off I bumped up the stalker numbers as if more were coming to the zone now that word got around that 'something happened'. NPC names might be a good idea..

[fiery sparrow]

i dont know if the VPO-136 in gamma is juans or frostys but i also had mr juan do those (because i love them)

[fiery sparrow]

i crank the shit out of my zcp setting s

stalker squad variance is a weird stat though

[sharp coyote]

Just flood the zone with people?

[fiery sparrow]

i turned it really high and my save is just kinda dead

like theres hardly anyone

[sharp coyote]

Have you tried turning off offline combat?

[fiery sparrow]

i dunno exactly how it works but i like having shit tons of npcs

[fiery sparrow]

no and i dont really want to

[sharp coyote]

Yeah, I respect that. It's a tossup between having more NPCs and keeping the world feeling alive

[fiery sparrow]

i do turn random squads to like, 80-100 percent tho

[nimble ingot]

I don't think I come across that weapon.

[fiery sparrow]

its extremely rare

for a reason

[nimble ingot]

Figures lol

[fiery sparrow]

its also extremely expensive to use

[nimble ingot]

That said need to get FWP for the 0.9.3 install

Got like 400gb dedicated to GAMMA

[fiery sparrow]

love to see that someone out there likes it lol

[sick yoke]

@celest sparrow lol grok finally stopped cough stacking

[celest sparrow]

I'm going to be testing it out later to see how it feels

[fiery sparrow]

my baby...

[nimble ingot]

Yeah there's a rad effect rebalance too?

Saw that on dev

[fiery sparrow]

if i knew how to get the gun to work with 3dss and properly seat the viewmodel with the freezoom mod i would

[nimble ingot]

Groks updating the notes

[dusk pumice]

i wanna start a inv run any advice?

[quasi lance]

using the bmp's is so much easier

[kindred mauve]

that moment when you realise that on the pricier end, you're being paid £93 to kill people

sometimes several people

that is 8 hours work at a mcdonalds or any other minimum wage job

why does anyone go to the zone

because you could honestly earn more working a minimum wage job anywhere else in the world, the only things of any value are the guns you find

[sick yoke]

Stop right there

You’re implying that stalkers are smart

[vast pumice]

[kindred mauve]

no one in this discord, that's for sure

but there are foreign mercs and spec ops from the UN that are involved

all for contract killings that are worth less than £100

and "artifacts" that are worth less than pennies

[sick yoke]

To be fair unisg is there for the secret information on the zone

Mercs uh

[vast pumice]

clearly you never worked customer service id rather take my chances with a bloodsucker than karen who has no idea how to use a gas canister.

[sick yoke]

They’re also stupid

[kindred mauve]

I've worked 3 years in service jobs and in all honesty I'd rather serve the rudest customer than face down a humanoid mutant that can tear me limb from limb with a shotgun I can only afford 2 bullets for

[vast pumice]

whatever you are on, brother, i want it~

[kindred mauve]

Literally, a person's life in the zone is worth less than a magazine's worth of ammo for the Five Seven.

which would make sense in an apocalyptic scenario

but not in one where the outside world is still in working order

especially when the majority of them are armed to the teeth

[vast pumice]

look, listen, hear me out... a mutant in the zone screams and shouts at me cause it defending its territory. a customer is yelling bloody murder and threating to sue me cause they decided it was a good idea to wear sneakers during winter (true story btw)

[kindred mauve]

"Go here and kill these 30 cultists using advanced and experimental weaponry."

"Sure, is the pay good?"

"We'll give you $100."

[vast pumice]

see, thats the thing! you are not just allowed, you are REQUIRED to kill your customers. cant do that at maccers now can ye?

[kindred mauve]

I had a guy threaten me with organised crime connections over the portion size of a fucking sunday roast

and I'd still take that over being mauled to death by a pack of psychic dogs

[valid kernel]

So - health resoration actually just kills you

That's lame

[vast pumice]

and ill have a 100 bucks either way. after paying the rent, insurance etc etc or just barely raw.

[kindred mauve]

the best stalkers in the Zone will earn less than your average salaried employee in any company in the first world

the reason this makes very little sense to me is

why haven't the various military organisations of the globe picked them all up like vultures

these guys would be counter insurgency pros: they can smell an ambush a mile off, or they'd be dead

and can operate in territory so hostile that the fucking weather is trying to actively kill them

often times alone

[valid kernel]

How tf are you supposed to counter any of the actual useful artifacts that give you like -7 health restoration

[vast pumice]

ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY! its about giving the middle finger to society and dying like mother nature intendid, fighting while defending yourself against a predator!

[harsh sandal]

[kindred mauve]

You say that, but Mercs exist

Bandits exist

[harsh sandal]

Firefly?

[kindred mauve]

literally dudes murdering each other for .30 cent paydays

[vast pumice]

IM NOT EITHER OF THEM, IM A FREE STALKER!

[sick yoke]

Yes

[kindred mauve]

Free Stalkers are the only faction that make sense

"I've burned all my bridges, how much worse can it get"

[sick yoke]

Negative hp regen does in fact make you lose hp

[kindred mauve]

the only philosophy in the zone that makes even a modicum of sense

[sick yoke]

Firefly

[vast pumice]

i chose the zone as a statement. i will die bend over by a pseudogiant than in a cubicle wasting my life for some fact cuck!

[sick yoke]

Or hoto

Or the upgraded body cooler and chimera hide

[kindred mauve]

yeah, but once you're eating dogs just to survive that philosophy will change real fast

[fiery sparrow]

you get that and everything the dude is carrying

[sick yoke]

Also it’s -6 hp regen because it’s visually bugged

[fiery sparrow]

evens out to about, uh... 120?

[harsh sandal]

Based on the game rewards?

[fiery sparrow]

[kindred mauve]

based on the bandit faction attacking free stalker rookies

they could literally build a better weapons platform working minimum wage

[harsh sandal]

Bandits

[kindred mauve]

than looting the corpses of random fuckers carrying 80 year old weapons that show it

[vast pumice]

implying big food hasnt been using a "substitute" for decades already

[kindred mauve]

Look, you leave Tesco out of this

[harsh sandal]

If you think that's bad, wait until you discover what renegade can do

[kindred mauve]

the entirety of the Zone is filled with 4chan users

that's the only conclusion

"Reject modernity, embrace grug"

[vast pumice]

a 4channer wouldnt last a second in the zone

[fading plinth]

not enough > for 4channers

[vast pumice]

also, that would require them to leave the house and touch radiated grass

just aint happening

[kindred mauve]

the most successful people in the zone would be fishermen and farmers

[vast pumice]

that i can agree on

glow-in-the-dark bacon sounds nice right about now

[kindred mauve]

Wouldn't you rather a catfish steak

the size and breadth of an alligator

with all the nutritional radiation associated with eating irratiated lumps of coal.

[vast pumice]

i would give it a try at least

dont knock it till you try it, i always say

[harsh sandal]

Zone's vlog

[rich moss]

What if stalker was Real

[vast pumice]

...they are.

just not as armed.

or desperate.

[rich moss]

I have this revolutionary idea for a book

Its about a picnic on a roadside

[vast pumice]

[harsh sandal]

[vast pumice]

whos gonna tell em?

anyway, back to the matter at hand... work sucks and gives no purpose!

the zone sucks and gives you no purpose BUT...

[kindred mauve]

You know what that book could really use?

https://tenor.com/view/alien-guy-thats-crazy-woozy-crazy-scientist-gif-8609893263374809391

[vast pumice]

...at least you are back where you were meant to be. in the cycle of life. survival of the fittest. man vs beast!

[harsh sandal]

Reincarnated in the zone, I will become the richest!

[kindred mauve]

here's $10 to betray your faction and murder all of your friends

[rich moss]

Yes... and I had this really interesting idea of basing it in a place called the zone..

I can't believe I'm the only person to ever think of this

[vast pumice]

[kindred mauve]

tbf, I can't decide if the original games would've benefitted from the whole aliens thing

I'm thinking no

[vast pumice]

nah

[kindred mauve]

but I still would like a Stalker game set in Alaska

would be an instant winner

[vast pumice]

aliens? too out of place. mutants created by radiation? fuck yeah.

[harsh sandal]

Lol no

[kindred mauve]

(and mad science, but we won't talk about that)

[vast pumice]

[kindred mauve]

why not? stalker, set in the alaskan rainforest would have insane visuals and the verticality the base games dont

[harsh sandal]

The zone would be full of americans and canadians

[vast pumice]

hear me out... stalker... in australia! think of all the mutant possibilities!

[harsh sandal]

[kindred mauve]

hardly better than ruskis that kill people for a living

on less than minimum wage

[harsh sandal]

slavs

[kindred mauve]

the most slavic thing about the stalker series is walking through a radioactive region and being fine after necking a bottle of vodka

[harsh sandal]

That's really the thing that makes stalker big

[kindred mauve]

besides that though

there's none of the slavic hallmarks

well

a depressing environment

that borders on post apocalyptic

[harsh sandal]

Just like irl

[kindred mauve]

If the Russians in this chat could read they'd be very upset by that comment

[vast pumice]

[harsh sandal]

Nah

[vast pumice]

anyway, imma go find sidorovic's lost shipment!

life pro-tip: do NOT kick drivable cars in the zone, especially when you are inside it

[twin slate]

[halcyon cave]

i fucking LOVE the glock 19 automatic, its so good, I love running around cordon and sliming people like prime king von

genuinely some of the best things in this game

I love it so much

[oblique reef]

The damn Saiga bug caught up to me

[fading plinth]

i thought it got patch

[oblique reef]

I think so, updating my Gamma now so I hope its fixed

[fading plinth]

hope so gangster

[solar chasm]

Honestly just full auto 9x19 in general is very fun in the south

[latent obsidian]

if I disable the first and check the second I'll get the full black market?

[solar chasm]

Bruh

"Don't disable"

[latent obsidian]

Hold on

I think I see it now

[solar chasm]

You just tick black market and you're done

[latent obsidian]

Yea okay sry its just 6am kinda can't think

[oblique reef]

Finding it weird to see a lot more animations

Looting
Picking up stuff
Opening the backpack
Skinning mutants

[radiant anvil]

@last mesa how did you do this shit

Im at 160 after killing off the entire dead city base

lmao

[celest sparrow]

Got myself killed by skinning a boar in the middle of killing other boars

Skill issued

[thorny matrix]

what do you do in a renegade run?

i really want to do a sin playthrough but there is not much to do

[oblique reef]

Bandit stuff, except you don't have help from Freedom or Mercs

[thorny matrix]

whats the goal of a bandit run?

[oblique reef]

Nothing honestly. All the factions that don't have a questline get the short end of the stick when it comes to stuff to do

Stuff like Re:Done remedies the issue for Sin and Monolith, but otherwise there's nothing else

[thorny matrix]

i suppose you could kill doctor and move on with that quest

[oblique reef]

You only play Renegades or Bandits cuz they're the funny factions

[thorny matrix]

yeah cause there at least you can turn back on BS and MM

[thorny matrix]

doesnt get more stalker than that

imagine if bandits tolerated stalkers like in CS and you could mug loners for steping into the garbage

or you and your buddies sneak out at night to intercept a duty package

[oblique reef]

Maybe the supposed story rebalance will shake things up, who knows

[thorny matrix]

wait what story rebalance?

is that gonna be 1.6 anomaly?

[oblique reef]

I just see hearsay bout a story rework, but it might be a long time beforehand. Supposedly it's slated after Gamma 1.0 comes out

[radiant anvil]

My goal origonally was to befriend every faction i could until i found out geologist got 7.5k kills in one playthru so now my goal is genocide

the friendship is magic run is on hold until after I beat geologists kill count

[thorny matrix]

wow gamma 1.0 will come when i have great grand children

[radiant anvil]

Like basically for the most part even in runs with the story mode I make my own goals n shit for runs

[oblique reef]

I've been spending the past few weeks micromanaging my mods, I already fear that new updates will break stuff

[radiant anvil]

My last loner run for example my goal was to homestead and build a house from scratch in generators

[thorny matrix]

bro have you seen that one ss of the guy who built an entire damn house in outskirts

the very top floor of the building next to the vine anomaly

[solar chasm]

In base anomly i did a no traders/tasks/technicians run as renegade but that don't work so well in gamma

[thorny matrix]

rt how does it not work?

oh no tools?

[oblique reef]

Lootboxes mod would've been real helpful I bet

[solar chasm]

Lower ammo drops, lower frequency of stashes from dead bodies, can't get normal crafting recipes

The annoying thing in my base anomaly run was that i didn't get a multitool till nearly the end of the run lol

[thorny matrix]

yeah, that makes sense

i wanna do something with sin because they are my favorite faction but idk what

[solar chasm]

Honestly it was kinda "gamma without gamma" to a degree

[thorny matrix]

lmao fr

[radiant anvil]

I had to make mods to make it not pure fucking CBT

The funniest problem with a traderless run is water

in base gamma

like turns out yep water is somehow a non renewable recourse

[solar chasm]

Oh yeah that was an issue

I remember being very urgent for water at some point

[radiant anvil]

So i had to make adjustments to the fillable canteens mod to make the purification tablets craftable

[solar chasm]

? You get canteen drops from stalkers tho?

[radiant anvil]

Balancing that was a nightmare cuz i couldnt figure out how to make it only craft 1 pill

[radiant anvil]

correct i was not dealing with that

traderless is already cbt enough as it is

[halcyon cave]

what do I do if I lost the sponge artefact that I was supposed to give to kovelev

[solar chasm]

sounds like

[radiant anvil]

That is in fact correct

[halcyon cave]

cause Im WAY past that mission

and I cant remember where I threw that fuckass thing

[solar chasm]

I was renegade so i had an abundance of targets

Maybe that helped

[halcyon cave]

ill do debug mode and see if that works

[radiant anvil]

Yeah i did it as loner

so thats probably the difference

[solar chasm]

I also didn't spare bandits either, didn't see a point

[radiant anvil]

I need to like go back and figure out how the technicians refusing to fix your shit was done

so i could make the same thing for traders

[solar chasm]

?

Why

Just... don't trade

[radiant anvil]

Silly just in case i forgot which run it was

Cuz i have like 3 runs at any given time
