[wheat veldt]

suicide

[solid swift]

quick question... how do i rotate placeable light bulbs

[blissful ivy]

how do you mean?

[solid swift]

like

[blissful ivy]

so that they hang from the ceiling?

[solid swift]

yes

[wild ivy]

wtf save him

[solid swift]

and not stand on the floor

[wild ivy]

you're a scientist

[blissful ivy]

ah just caps lock

[solid swift]

caps lock

[blissful ivy]

yes

[solid swift]

mf light bulb off the floor

is odd as hayl

but ok ty

[blissful ivy]

well yes, just press caps lock

then look up

put it on ceiling

it will be hanging

you want it so say "alinging to surface" not "aligning to player" or whatever

so lads, do i @ a helper to get my problem solved?

or do i just wait and hope one of them goes to modded support

which they never do

problem for reference

if anyone here knows a fix, go nuts

wait i just had an idea

maybe its got something to do with the remote explosives mod

since it does affect the RF receiver

and random_freq probably means rf frequency

[wild ivy]

holy shit the animations are so much better

[wheat veldt]

code huntin time

[wild ivy]

whats with your fingers

woman??

im assuming extra mods

[blissful ivy]

yes

that would be LASS

i think

[wild ivy]

[blissful ivy]

theres quite a few

although you missed the whole texture being fucky

XD

[wild ivy]

i dreadfully fear adding more stuff to modpacks so i shant experience this

[blissful ivy]

why?

[wild ivy]

dun wann break anything

if its a simple mod then im fine

but stalker is... iffy

[blissful ivy]

its really not

its quite robust to be fair

[wild ivy]

last time i modded it was for me

[blissful ivy]

what were you adding?

[wild ivy]

i do not remember

its been a while

[blissful ivy]

well you must have been adding something

im just happy i learned what caused the issue above

it was the remote explosives mod

F in the chat to that mod

[wild ivy]

plus i dont really know what i could add on to gamma since i think its already fine

[oblique quest]

Time to update 💪

[dusk vessel]

i mean gamma is already a modpack of a modpack, modding it further without having modding knowledge will cause problems

[oblique quest]

I don't really need to do that much to GAMMA, because, like, half of GAMMA is the same shit that I did to Anomaly but handled better.

[blissful ivy]

i disagree

i started modding this pack with minimal knowledge

[dusk vessel]

i put the "without modding knowledge" there for a reason

how minimal?

[blissful ivy]

only recently did i begin to learn

[blissful ivy]

straight up learned MO2 for this

thats how minimal

[zealous jasper]

Fuck I overshot my grenade

[blissful ivy]

i didnt know shit and besides modding in stalker differs from fallout/skyrim/minecraft

so my other experience was useless

[oblique quest]

To be fair, if you are able to grasp what you're looking at (which isn't that complicated), MO2 is easy to understand.

[blissful ivy]

indeed

but still, thats bare bones knowledge

but the point is, this is not a hard game to mod

if you can read and use logic, many of the common issues can be fixed

[dusk vessel]

im happy enough i was able to install/update gamma without problems in the past, i dont feel the need to mod it further is all

[wild ivy]

i want a comically large gun

[blissful ivy]

well boi do i have the gun for you

[wild ivy]

[dusk vessel]

theres a barret.. or a 50 cal revolver

[blissful ivy]

.950JDJ

[oblique quest]

Most mods don't conflict, and sometimes you'll be tipped off to ones which do (and sometimes how to fix them, if possible) by reading the descriptions and comments on mods you're thinking of installing.

[blissful ivy]

shut up i have this

.950JDJ

1 shot

per

[dusk vessel]

mightaswell bring a 20mm anti tank rifle

[blissful ivy]

but it hits like a miata going 300 miles per hour

[blissful ivy]

lame

[dusk vessel]

or a 30mm airplane cannon

[blissful ivy]

lame

thats just not even cool

[burnt moon]

Anyone know how to fix Escape from Tarkov MCX Spear scope?

[blissful ivy]

the .950 is funny as shit XD

[wild ivy]

is it as good as my beloved OTs-14 Groza "Storm"?

[blissful ivy]

not for close quarters

[wild ivy]

so its a sniper

[oblique quest]

Or a double-barreled 23mm shotgun made with decommissioned anti-aircraft gun barrels. Oh, wait.

[blissful ivy]

but i mean if the guy is far away, then sure

[wild ivy]

?

[blissful ivy]

yes

it is

but at least you dont need to aim heads

just hit him, anywhere

literally

[dusk vessel]

with the right ammo you probably can shoot the ground next to him too

[blissful ivy]

not the .950

thats the .338 federal explosive round's job

but thats from artigrok

[blissful ivy]

the chimera hunter they mean

[oblique quest]

Is that the mod which adds more ammo types? Having more than one ammo type for .357 might be nice.

[blissful ivy]

its a 23mm double barrel

[blissful ivy]

yeah, but i warn .357 is busted

with the new ammos

like absurd

[wild ivy]

the ? was supposed to be on my previous comment

[blissful ivy]

oh ok

anyways, yeah .950 is comically large

no 3DSS on the gun tho

so its like old gamma 2DSS

[wild ivy]

alas, i cannot find it in the spawn item menu so i cannot test it for myself

[oblique quest]

I mean, with the stats on .357 in SPT with Realism, if there were a rifle in .357 there that shit would be busted busted, so I guess that tracks.

[wild ivy]

i am blind

[blissful ivy]

modded

its from juan's guns

[wild ivy]

fug

[dusk vessel]

the springfield lever action exists i guess

[blissful ivy]

not hard to add at all tho

its literally get mod, press add mod in MO2 and done

[pallid bronze]

is there newer launcher than

[blissful ivy]

no prerequisites

[blissful ivy]

not to my knowledge

[pallid bronze]

good

[blissful ivy]

#🖥️how-to-install

just read

if youre installing

if updating #💽how-to-update

[wild ivy]

bro

i just started

[oblique quest]

OK. Do you have a Bizon and a magfull of 9x18 HP?

[dusk vessel]

this quest is fine

its just, if you kill any controller you finish the quest

so just taking it and waiting to run into one basically

[oblique quest]

Like, say, when you do the miracle machine right there. Or is it the brain scorcher? I always forget which is which.

[oblique reef]

It's a free task imo, if you do find a controller you just get cash for not doming it

[sonic verge]

meet my new friend

Mark Banana

[oblique quest]

Does it have to be not killing it with a headshot, or does dealing literally any headshot damage nullify it?

[dusk vessel]

not killing

ive never had the quest not complete even wheen shooting it in the head once before killing it

btw whats the cheapest way to get syringes, buying glucose shots and disassembling?

[sonic verge]

does the portable workbench come with tools??

[blissful ivy]

mark banana is a G

hes the best

[blissful ivy]

wym?

basics?

no

[sonic verge]

I met ecologist Slava Banana in rookie village.

[blissful ivy]

you just supply the tools

[sonic verge]

fuck me

oh well, i have 2 yellow stashes to check, one is super out of way for me

[blissful ivy]

i aim body regardless on controllers

its easier

[blissful ivy]

[radiant sage]

[oblique quest]

In my experience, you don't necessarily aim anywhere in particular so much as just go "AAAAAA" until it's dead.

[celest sparrow]

lets goo

[rigid idol]

explosif

[blissful ivy]

im 1 part away from the SVD

just need gas system

[rigid idol]

isn't the svd kinda dookie

[blissful ivy]

yippee

not in my game

made it 180 rpm

not 60

because 60 is ass

[rigid idol]

By a mod or smth?

[dusk vessel]

should be able to fire it as fast as you can click pretty much

[blissful ivy]

so NOW its good

[dusk vessel]

60 is a bit dumb

[blissful ivy]

.ltx edit

its easy

[blissful ivy]

its fine at 180

3 rounds a second?

thats fine

[rigid idol]

eh, cant be bothered

[dusk vessel]

more than enough for a dmr anyway

[blissful ivy]

for a precision rifle

[blissful ivy]

oh, its so easy it took me like 20 seconds

i just looked up the svd, found its dtlx

[dusk vessel]

its only that you could in theory do qcb with a svd

[rigid idol]

bai

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/870589024740466718/1397596961246281831/image0-4.gif

[dusk vessel]

if you work around the 24 in barrel lmao

[blissful ivy]

thats not worth imo

id rather just... use a full auto

[dusk vessel]

sure

i just think its funny

[blissful ivy]

like this perfectly functional AKS-74UN

which i just got

[dusk vessel]

nice rof

[blissful ivy]

and i know its not the best

[dusk vessel]

for early game

[blissful ivy]

but its mine

[dusk vessel]

jesus ive never done barrier defense and there so many bodies on the floor you cant walk

[blissful ivy]

also got a vityaz

[oblique quest]

That's what an SVU is for, comrade.

[blissful ivy]

just a minute ago

just repaired it

[dusk vessel]

also has like 70 rpm

[blissful ivy]

yeah its weird too

SVDS is the only one that can do cqb

because good rof

[dusk vessel]

svds has 400 which is more fair

[blissful ivy]

by defauly

[oblique quest]

Yeah, but at least the ergo isn't ass.

[dusk vessel]

doesent really matter in gamma

[blissful ivy]

funny, but that doesnt really matter

so like, no its just not werf

svds on top

[dusk vessel]

if you position yourself right you could do qcb with a 30 in barrel

[blissful ivy]

gonna slap that POSP on it fr

[rigid idol]

Yall should i switch to using WARSAW guns if im doing missions primarily for duty and loners

[dusk vessel]

use whatever gun you like tbh

its not all that important

[rigid idol]

im saying it cuz the closest NATO ammo supplier is clear sky and thats is pretty effing far away

[dusk vessel]

also is it normal that im alone on barrier defense?

[blissful ivy]

also did they edit the vityaz?

i dont remember the rear sight being so open

[blissful ivy]

no

[oblique quest]

OK, hear me out: buy whatever is cheapest, disassemble it for parts, use it to craft what you need. All you need to facilitate this is a multitool and never, ever being without a gunsmithing kit. Simple as.

[dusk vessel]

all the freedomers that spawned ran into the freedome base of army warehouse

only guy at the barrier is some loner up at the campfire

[blissful ivy]

butcher

5.45 HP my beloved

[oblique quest]

My man.

[blissful ivy]

break it down and make all the good ammos

[oblique quest]

I fucking love buying .45 HS for, like, the same price everyone else asks for FMJ.

[dusk vessel]

anytime i stop by butcher i buy all his 5.56hp, all his 5.45hp, all his sharpening stones

[blissful ivy]

so i guess everyone is on 0.9.4 by now yes?

[oblique quest]

Same, except I also buy all his 20guage and HP pistol ammo.

[blissful ivy]

most people are

[oblique quest]

Last I played was either 0.9.3 or 0.9.2, was thinking about getting back into it.

[blissful ivy]

im on a custom 0.9.3.1, so its more like my own custom 0.9.3.5 or smth

[dusk vessel]

man if it wasnt for morphine id be dead 10 times over

[blissful ivy]

its got the good parts of 0.9.4

so yeah

[dusk vessel]

doing barrier defense solo in redline jacket lmao

[blissful ivy]

just remember to turn on the jam patch mod

because 0.9.4 without it makes it so guns can jam when all parts are 100

so make sure to get that patch

those pesky st_dyn_news_comm_monster_9s

real tough mfs

[dusk vessel]

0.9.4 is a big upgrade imo, lots of quality of life stuff

i remember getting stuck on any small clipping in the ground in 9.3

[blissful ivy]

what?

[dusk vessel]

if you run over an elevation change

[blissful ivy]

i dont know what youre on about

[dusk vessel]

your character would be dead stopped for a moment

[blissful ivy]

yeah, still nothing

[dusk vessel]

now he doesent

[blissful ivy]

i dont get that

and im not on 0.9.4

[dusk vessel]

december 2024

like the early 0.9.3

[sick yoke]

stairs moment

[dusk vessel]

yeah stairs were horrible

i still have the habbit of spamming spacebar on them

[blissful ivy]

that always slowed me down when i did that

[sick yoke]

i don't know if stairs are changed with 0.9.4 i just know they suck

[oblique reef]

0.9.3.1 supposedly fixed it but my Dead City apartment wasn't any better

[ripe lagoon]

yeah I think fixed levels were added before 0.9.4

[sick yoke]

nice

[dusk vessel]

yep the whole barrier defense just runs to freedom base

guess im doing it with scatter mines

[zealous jasper]

Stairs were fixed a bunch in 0.94, but there's still a good third i've seen so far that need work

A lot more stairs are good like Dead City School at least

[blissful ivy]

put mines on the way to freedom base, to punish them ofc

(also free loot)

[dusk vessel]

im afraid i dont have the firepower or armour to 1v30

[blissful ivy]

so what exactly is dead night?

from sid

never seen it

[lavish ermine]

Is it an additional download? I'm running the latest version and can't find it

[dusk vessel]

i dont wanna spoil if you havent

[blissful ivy]

is it werf it?

[dusk vessel]

just go to darkscape at night its a cool quest

[blissful ivy]

or should i leave it

i got 1 life

[dusk vessel]

errr

leave it then

[lavish ermine]

I hate that it has no waypoint tho

[blissful ivy]

so like, im not losing it to some fuckass quest

[dusk vessel]

then dont

[blissful ivy]

or you could spoil it for me, because i dont care

[dusk vessel]

you run into a controller with some 50 zombies

gunless ones

its kinda like baba yaga in a way

[harsh sandal]

[zealous jasper]

When you got so much explosive resist the point blank grenade doesn't even severely wound you

Aw yeah, we're artifacting maxing now

[blissful ivy]

oh ok

so just go there, shoot controller with panzerfaust and leave

gotcha

easy

[dusk vessel]

sure

i think you have to kill the zombies aswell, not sure

[blissful ivy]

not an issue

theyre the walkers

[dusk vessel]

but none have guns so theyre easy pickings

just dont get stuck

[blissful ivy]

its darkscape

if theres anything its good for, its open and nothingness

thats about it

[dusk vessel]

its in the forest part

[ripe lagoon]

dead city and meadow aren't changed because author can't export them

[blissful ivy]

still open and empty

compared to other places

[dusk vessel]

true

[blissful ivy]

besides, you can lead it out of the forest

[dusk vessel]

i didnt die the first time i did it but i can see how one can get caught offguard

[blissful ivy]

not like youre tied there

[blissful ivy]

well i also have no headlamp

so im blind

[dusk vessel]

ah

if you dont get the controller fast youre kinda fucked

at least tress give cover from him

[blissful ivy]

i guess

either way, its not worth my time then

most of those tasks arent

big game is

mostly because its a load of giants

which are quite easy to deal with at that stage

LETS GO

[radiant sage]

Lmao what on earth, 10% jam

[blissful ivy]

mfw its still got dirty parts

just fixed it

0% now

0.9.3.1 means no jam at 100 parts

0.9.4 < 0.9.3.1

[radiant sage]

I will break into your house and force the jam changes into your installation

[blissful ivy]

the tripwire shotgun trap i prepared in case of a federal raid:

https://tenor.com/view/champagne-gif-13068343437305960060

[radiant sage]

What is this, saw?

[zealous jasper]

So that's why the Dead City School is good, but the like random apartment building stairs are still shit?

[blissful ivy]

more like fallout

but yeah

[ripe lagoon]

dead city is as terrible as it always has been

[zealous jasper]

Damn both yellows in Jupiter so far have had experts

[radiant sage]

Guess I'll have to ask your sister to let me in

[wheat veldt]

I can't believe it, the first artefact I find

is my favourite in the series

[harsh heath]

The primary you got. Can you find that gun or is it from a upgrade kit?

[river parcel]

the SR-3M?

[harsh heath]

Bruh how do you do the inspect on the artifact like that? I saw the video grok showed of the mod doing it but can't see to do it.

[harsh heath]

ye

[zealous jasper]

SR3M is just a regular gun

[river parcel]

yeah you can just find it

[zealous jasper]

got a Pk1 scope on it

[blissful ivy]

you carry so much shit damn

[zealous jasper]

Haven't gone back to base yet

[harsh heath]

ah never seen it

[zealous jasper]

I'll drop off stuff before long

[blissful ivy]

bro she wont let me in, she wont let you in XD

[river parcel]

the SR-3M is pretty neat but I prefer the weapon position on the Vals more personally

[harsh heath]

I have been using the same weapon loadout for a bit. MP semi shotgun and a SV98

Found a saiga so will probably replace the mp for the quicker reload due to it being mag fed

[wheat veldt]

wbig ffan of this fuckin thing

[river parcel]

I like the semi shotguns quite a bit more than the 5 round saigas, but it's mostly personal preference

[harsh heath]

Also notice the mp155 shoots a lil high with the slugs

[wheat veldt]

right click, examine

[harsh heath]

well shit

[wheat veldt]

BEHOLD!

my orb

[river parcel]

pondering

[blissful ivy]

BEHOLD! funky orb

[dusk vessel]

bruh only took like an hour

redline jacket is not built for this 1v40

[radiant sage]

You underestimate my ungodly rizz
And ability to talk about sims4

[harsh heath]

How do you fix weapon sights not lining up correctly?

eh whatever ended up just buying a different one

[zealous jasper]

BIG SCORE

[radiant sage]

Let's goooo

[zealous jasper]

Thank you Monolith Master who walked right into the headshot

[wheat veldt]

high as fuck chilling in a nightmare tunnel

but I got a cooool rock!

[zealous jasper]

Fucking L bozo but thanks for the rifle

[dusk vessel]

oh wtf

i didnt know storm was in gamma

[solar chasm]

It is and it's one of the best guns in the game through sheer versatility

[dusk vessel]

idk how people complain they didnt get an rpg from barrier defense

ive gotten at least 5

[zealous jasper]

Nothing like sniping a Chimera midleap out of the air with a KS-23 Shortie headshot

I almost shit myself

Fucking double chimera in pripyat spawn

[solar chasm]

You shit yourself over only two chimeras in outskirts? Kid you gonna learn

[zealous jasper]

Kid?

I'm almost 30

[dusk vessel]

oh wow im starting to see why

[zealous jasper]

And no I more shit myself cause I was in a firefight with Monolith and a Pseudodog

[solar chasm]

Ah lol

[zealous jasper]

Did not hear them running up

[solar chasm]

Yeah suprise chimera in outskirts always fun

[zealous jasper]

I'm just trying to get to Outskirts so I can kill #9

[solar chasm]

But yeah i've had spawns line up so i had to deal with 5 at once, one of them being a black chimera

[zealous jasper]

Fucking Karlik and Psysucker

[solar chasm]

Also squads of 5 controllers

[wheat veldt]

it's like a wizard wand that only casts fireball

[zealous jasper]

Bro I want a squad of 5 burers rn

I need 5 burer hands and 4 more pseudogiant hands to get Volat Emerald + Compass up

[solar chasm]

High mag good rof good accuracy 5.45 with good scopes a laser and a nade launcher. Stick an acog on it and it is anti-anything short to mid range

[zealous jasper]

Honestly a good scope makes all the difference for most automatic guns

[dusk vessel]

i guess the only thing that would be seen as a downside, is that 5.45 isnt the best against armour

[zealous jasper]

EH 5.45 AP is good enough

[stiff wyvern]

yesterday i lost my 1 life to 4 black chimeras outside of CNPP, just 9.4 things i guess

[solar chasm]

Don't matter, shoot ap and it's good

[dusk vessel]

yeah its good enough but not the best is what i mean

[zealous jasper]

They'll block 3-4 shots at first of AP and then it's eating them up

and that's if they're an Exo

Heavy armor blocks exactly oneshot and only one shot of AP 5.45

Go for headshots and it'll work on anything under a Spartan

[dusk vessel]

i noticed when using 5.56 fmj that a exo mono took 15 rounds to go down, so i stopped bothering to spray and tapped the head instead

[solar chasm]

Even unisg will go down to relatively light amounts of ap

[zealous jasper]

oh yeah uh

[blissful ivy]

i mean my go-to for them is M249

with fmj

[zealous jasper]

FMJ ammo is ASS in that caliber vs mono

[blissful ivy]

because its dirt cheap and i got lots of them

[dusk vessel]

i know

[zealous jasper]

Since mono modifies incoming damage and AP by reducing it 10%

[dusk vessel]

glad i had crafted myself around 200 rounds of ap 5.56, that came in clutch

[solar chasm]

Also, the storm pairs exceedingly well with a sniper

[blissful ivy]

like womp womp, cool nosorog, anyways ANGRY BULLET BEES GO

and you just shoot them lots

[zealous jasper]

It's why I recommend around 200-300 rounds of AP if you're going to Brain Scorcher

[dusk vessel]

i am a bolt action enjoyer

[blissful ivy]

also 5.45 and 5.56 are pretty even

[dusk vessel]

i know

[blissful ivy]

7.62x39/51 is where it gets nuts

and 7.62x54 goes without saying

[dusk vessel]

galil ace52 with 7.62x54 on ap ammo

[blissful ivy]

unless you use 7N1

then youre just a moron

[dusk vessel]

i ignore 7n1 exists

[blissful ivy]

i dont

[zealous jasper]

what do you mean

[blissful ivy]

has a purpose

[zealous jasper]

7n1 is great

It exists

[blissful ivy]

no its not

its mediocre

[zealous jasper]

To be broken down for parts for better ammo

[dusk vessel]

right thats what i meant

[blissful ivy]

its the "im not in army warehouses so its good" ammo

thats what i use it for

[dusk vessel]

anytime i get it i disassemble them

[blissful ivy]

that and to make new ammo

[zealous jasper]

It's good when you're just doing Rostok task spam

[dusk vessel]

alright fair enough but at that point id rather have 7.92

[blissful ivy]

i think its nice all the time, as long as youre not in AW

[zealous jasper]

Go for headshots on mercs and targets with non-jackets in the South

[blissful ivy]

pfft i wouldnt

unless you mean 7.92 AP

in that case yeah, but thats not fair

[dusk vessel]

yes

[blissful ivy]

thats an FMJ vs AP

[dusk vessel]

sure ig

[zealous jasper]

Yeah that's not a fair comp

[dusk vessel]

7.92 is cheap af anyway

[blissful ivy]

only reason ANYONE would use 7n1 is to be cheap

7.92 AP gives the same performance as 7N14

[zealous jasper]

7n1 is good when you're headshotting Bandits on Hold Your Ground

[blissful ivy]

which is stupid

[zealous jasper]

for cheap ass ammo econ

[solar chasm]

5.56 is better on the ballistics front so if you wanna have your ar be more of an all-range anti-personnel gun then 5.56 is the way to go.

5.45 has better hp's and there's better options for cqc guns among the guns that shoot it so it's more a generalist close to mid range caliber

[blissful ivy]

since one costs AP the other doesnt

[blissful ivy]

but 5.45 has the PSO, which is just so nice on the AKs

ofc theres the specter/acog, but acog got nerf

so cringe

[solar chasm]

Eeeeh pso is still mid

[dusk vessel]

idk i never use anything above 1x on normal rifles

my eyes work fine

[blissful ivy]

i like the vibe of the pso

thats all

[celest sparrow]

PSO is based

[zealous jasper]

I can't tell what i'm aiming at with PSO's

Drives me nuts how hard it is to see the little black chevron

I need me glowy sight reticules

[blissful ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-it-bro-you're-getting-touched-tonight-gif-14870187556092555468

[zealous jasper]

[solar chasm]

Tho

[blissful ivy]

they do glow...

[solar chasm]

Bizon gets pso now

[dusk vessel]

normal rifles, automatic ones

[zealous jasper]

Wait what?

[solar chasm]

Which is interesting

[blissful ivy]

press the mark switch button

[zealous jasper]

I thought the PSO was the like black lines reticule

Oh for fuck sake

[blissful ivy]

pretty sure its = by default

idk

[dusk vessel]

electro sight my goat

[blissful ivy]

most if not all scopes like that are LED capable

[solar chasm]

I like the barska for generic red dot. For higher recoil guns (shotguns, aks74u tac) i use that super wide red dot

[blissful ivy]

was that a fucking electro burer?

fuck was that?

[dusk vessel]

fair

[solar chasm]

Oh those are fun

[dusk vessel]

i dont have any issue with recoil control in the game anyway

you can usually do 5 round bursts because it only becomes a problem if its a long spray

[solar chasm]

Most guns it's not an issue

For shotguns it's less about actual recoil and more about fov during recoil

[dusk vessel]

i dont use shotguns in general

[radiant sage]

Can't wait til bro says he's playing on a 60" monitor or is only 10cm away from the display like those CS pros

[blissful ivy]

see i use small red dots like C-More on the shotguns

[dusk vessel]

i am lvl10 on faceit, not a pro though

[blissful ivy]

because i think of it like this: "if sight small, that means sight is buckshot spread"

so just put sight on mutant, shoot

[solar chasm]

And the aks74u tac is just an absolute mid tier repair kit bullet hose so it!s got one of the highest practical recoils in the game

[blissful ivy]

and it seems to work at close - medium range

[blissful ivy]

what about the AKS-74UN?

not tactical?

[celest sparrow]

It's not mid

[radiant sage]

Good for you?

[solar chasm]

Mid tier repair kit.... it's very much not mid

Great gun

One of my favourites

[blissful ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-remember-asking-drache-i-dont-remember-asking-remember-asking-dragon-drachedachte1-gif-21399191

[solar chasm]

I love my bubba'd krink

[dusk vessel]

PMC seems like its one of the better aks

[celest sparrow]

It's okay

[dusk vessel]

for mid range at least

[solar chasm]

It's fine

[blissful ivy]

erm akshewally its best ak

i only say that because when its maxxed out its just a bullet hose with no visual recoil

slap a red dot on it and youre set

[solar chasm]

It's just not very min-maxed for either of the two general effective ar types

[dusk vessel]

is the AEK any good? only notable thing is 900 rpm

[solar chasm]

Great damage output but mid scopes and only 30 round mag

[dusk vessel]

i can cope with that

not like i use big scopes anyway

[solar chasm]

Well soviet red dots are even worse

I really don't like any of the dovetail red dots

[dusk vessel]

yeah i might just stick to the m4a1 ive been using the whole time for now

[harsh heath]

This gun slaps

shame I aint using nato weapons this run

[blissful ivy]

OKP moment

[blissful ivy]

challenge or?

because that thing uses 9x19, universal ammo basically

[oblique quest]

(Unless you're using Mags. Then you can load something bigger, whatever caliber it is. )

[harsh heath]

A bit. Trying to keep my playthroughs more interesting. Using only my faction armors and weapons they are known for using.

[oblique quest]

Also, doesn't the AEK have hyperburst?

[dusk vessel]

bruh the only green barrel 7.62x51 battle rifle i found is a bullpup you gotta be kidding

[harsh heath]

guess more of a rp

[solar chasm]

I still don't like the okp! It's better than the alternatives but that's a very low bar

[celest sparrow]

no

[dusk vessel]

never heard of this gun ngl

[blissful ivy]

its literally best sight

[oblique quest]

Yoo, MDR!

[blissful ivy]

better than barska

cmore

anything

its better

i will fight over it

[celest sparrow]

MiDR

[solar chasm]

Nah it's got that annoying battery pack or w/e to the left

[oblique quest]

I dunno how it performs in GAMMA, but it's pretty kickass IRL and in Tarkov.

[dusk vessel]

i just dont like bullpups in general

[oblique quest]

Valid.

[blissful ivy]

mfw i dislike the best optic because of a "battery pack"

[blissful ivy]

fuck you unbullpups your famas

[oblique quest]

I am incredibly choosy about the bullpups I care for. Most are trash.

[celest sparrow]

VSS is so good and tasty

[mental furnace]

[oblique quest]

Even better when you're using Mags and can put VAL (or better yet SR-3m) mags in it.

[blissful ivy]

ew

get outta here mags user

[oblique quest]

Fine, after I'm done spending three minutes unloading all these half-empty mags.

[blissful ivy]

exactly one of my greatest reasons to hate it

that and it makes good guns less good, since most of the guns that are better than the base version just have bigger mags

[oblique quest]

I totally understand people who hate it and why they would, but I really like it.

[blissful ivy]

which is defeated when the mags mod makes EVERY AK compatible with the same mags in its ammo type

so the RPK with 75 rounds becomes mid, since you can just use 75rd mag on AK-74

for instance

[radiant sage]

Smh the okp slander

[oblique quest]

Sounds like that's more more of an issue with these "awesome" "variants" in and of themselves, and not my problem.

[blissful ivy]

[blissful ivy]

well what are they meant to do

im taking suggestions

[mental furnace]

u need to play with skill expansion so u faster reload mags

or rpg system

[blissful ivy]

shut up droon dont encourage them

[mental furnace]

i will, fuck off

[oblique quest]

Well, if the balance were sensible, then it would have more controllable recoil and significantly better reliability/durability to match the increased volume of fire.

[solar chasm]

I like my unobscured field of view! It's why everyone hates all the other dovetail red dots!

[radiant sage]

Personally I really dislike the silly huge mags you can get with mags redux, and I use the mod myself

[blissful ivy]

except OKP is more open than barska

i think its just better

its also got a better reticle

[radiant sage]

It's also just sexy af

[blissful ivy]

not even gonna take anything you say in retaliation serious

because that reticle solos all the other western ones

[solar chasm]

i do agree

i do love how it looks

[mental furnace]

[blissful ivy]

except durability isnt really a thing in gamma

and recoil is also pretty negligible

so like, mag size is the best you get really

that or they just make it shoot faster idk

[oblique quest]

Wonder if using quadstacks and drum mags results in worse reliability like it should.

[blissful ivy]

it doesnt

[oblique quest]

Unbased.

[blissful ivy]

yet another issue

[river parcel]

Any weapon that accepts the monstrum is getting a monstrum and that's non-negotiable

[radiant sage]

Who would have thunked

[oblique quest]

Those are generally pretty rare, might have to modify loot rarity.

[blissful ivy]

thats fair

[river parcel]

the goofy 100 rounders are just RNG off vendors at 4 and 5 iirc

[blissful ivy]

mfw i buy one

[zealous jasper]

Eh not bad

[radiant sage]

I don't loot mags anyway, shit clutters my inventory

[zealous jasper]

Could be better though

[mental furnace]

traders selling them at 4 lvl of reputation

or it was 5?

[oblique quest]

What if, hear me out, they tweaked the mod so the good shit can't just be bought from, like, Zaton or whatever?

[river parcel]

4 and 5 both, but random chance on which ones they'll stock

[blissful ivy]

first 5.56 of the run

welcome the new temporary gun

ofc it will be replaced by G36K as soon as one is found

but it will be good for the time being

[river parcel]

I haven't seen any of the fun canted laser nato guns in so long

[oblique quest]

Anyway, I treat it like I treat my guns in Tarkov: if it ain't a regular mag or just a slightly longer regular mag, it ain't going in my gun.

[radiant sage]

The amount of attachments is ludicrous

[river parcel]

AK-5C, AUG A3, and 552 ISG are all so much fun

[radiant sage]

Also wth did they replace the sights??

They massacred my boy

[wheat veldt]

dude couldnt hang with the pack and suffered for it

[oblique quest]

They're just folded down. Although I guess they're typical picatinny rail irons and not normal SIG sights, if that's what you mean.

[blissful ivy]

wym

?

[oblique quest]

Normally SG rifles have drum rear sights and a built-in front post.

[blissful ivy]

honestly? the sights are kinda peak

i like the BUIS

[blissful ivy]

no shit lol

i didnt know what he meant until i used it

[mental furnace]

this gun not from base gamma

[radiant sage]

My poor diopter sights

[mental furnace]

[radiant sage]

Not that any game ever actually uses any of the diopter options apart from the irons

[zealous jasper]

Alright fellas, inside my budget which sight would be best for the RD

[oblique quest]

Can it accept an ACOG? Get that.

[mental furnace]

march-F or Specter

[oblique quest]

Man, I wish more games than pretty much just Hunt: Showdown had actually functioning aperture peep sights.

[zealous jasper]

HOLY 3-24x

[mental furnace]

yeap its sniper scope

[zealous jasper]

holy shit

[oblique quest]

Kinda shit you'd put in an L96.

[zealous jasper]

3x min zoom and 24x max zoom

[oblique quest]

3x is a good number. 👌

[zealous jasper]

yeah it's only 0.4x higher than a regular ACOG

[oblique quest]

If it's close enough for that to be too much, you don't need to aim at all.

[river parcel]

RD gets canted laser anyways

[blissful ivy]

0.6x

[river parcel]

if you have the option and you're thinking about budget, the leopold 8x more commonly fits different guns so you'll be less likely to buy a different scope in the future

but imo I like the march more

[zealous jasper]

March is a great sight

Nice bold reticule with clear center

[blissful ivy]

i hate the march's reticle in base gamma

its icky

had to get a mod to change it

same with the leupold tho

[sick yoke]

the good old "i have literally no reason to aim this far in with an ar but i will because yes"

[river parcel]

the higher accuracy ones are more than capable of using the magnification

if you can get it above 80, preferably over 85, high mag scopes are totally useable

[wheat veldt]

Gentlemen and ladies and others, i have terrible news

I traded my soul for a task

but i got this stash as a reward. maybe worth it?

and i got rep with freedom and eco in 1 task so

pretty good

[sick yoke]

yeah you can "use it" but there's also nothing that you'd see from 24x that you wouldn't see from just 8x

it's not like zooming in more makes your gun more accurate or anything either

[blissful ivy]

and besides the scaling on the 24x is nuts

the 3rd mag level is good

the 4th just jumps from like 8 straight to 24

its absurd

[river parcel]

I highly doubt the scope actually goes to 24, it feels like maybe 12-16x maximum

[blissful ivy]

no it is 24 XD

its quite funny actually

[mental furnace]

now press =

when aiming

[zealous jasper]

No way...

[river parcel]

I mean I've used it, and it's no further zoom than other scopes that claim 12

[blissful ivy]

i mean that means nothing, since most of the time scopes just use another scopes configs but new reticle

[mental furnace]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1387363887216853138/1387861870735523930/1984-1984-eating.gif

[river parcel]

then we just agree that the zoom the scopes claim isn't perfectly accurate?
I'm just saying that the "24x" on the march doesn't feel like 24

[zealous jasper]

Like 15 fucking dogs in outskirts wtf

and like 5 of them ran into a vortex anomaly

never have I seen so many dogs at once, I didn't even start shooting till they got close

[blissful ivy]

is that an AA-12?

where you get that

[zealous jasper]

Got it off some Master Mono boy

[blissful ivy]

yes

but the march is 24

[zealous jasper]

Assume it's part of FWP

[blissful ivy]

[blissful ivy]

ew then im not getting it

was nice to see tho

i fucking hate FWP

[zealous jasper]

Yeah I was modestly surprised to see it

[blissful ivy]

too much weapon clutter

[zealous jasper]

I'd like FWP more if they had less unnecessary SKS variants

[blissful ivy]

thats exactly it

[zealous jasper]

and less barely distinguishable low tier shotguns

[blissful ivy]

it adds loads of random shit

[wheat veldt]

it was a drug making kit

probably worth

[blissful ivy]

mhm

[blissful ivy]

i wish i had one

im killing as many bandits as i can, no kit

[celest sparrow]

They really need to increase the pay for the Explorer questline cause 4.6k is just

[blissful ivy]

ew

only 4.6k?

[celest sparrow]

what I'm regularly getting paid per Arti retrieval

Sometimes they give out tech attachments or artifacts

[blissful ivy]

i guess thats nice but still mid

[zealous jasper]

One shot, one kill

holy shit this scope is goated

[celest sparrow]

It's random so it is mid

[mental furnace]

told ya

[zealous jasper]

Easiest 5.45 headshot i've had in a long ass time

[wheat veldt]

I haven't played in 2 years

[zealous jasper]

Used it like a fucking sniper

[wheat veldt]

artefacts give damage cap increases? that's fucking baller

[zealous jasper]

So far he didn't even know I was there sprinting at him

Yes

by default you cap at 65% now

but with the right combo you can reach 95%

[iron atlas]

is walking considered as sneaking? or only crouching is sneaking?

[wheat veldt]

sweet as

[river parcel]

I need my quest givers to stop cosplaying fucking danny phantom and just let me turn shit in

[zealous jasper]

walking affects stealth

fucker

crouching affects stealth

low crouching REALLY affects stealth

UNISG got jumped by black chimera

Lost 2 men in a 4 man squad here before I came for them

[blissful ivy]

bro... a SPRINGBOARD IN MY BASE?

FUCK YOU DAO

[zealous jasper]

DAO has some spiteful fucking placements

[blissful ivy]

i know

[zealous jasper]

Had a darkness spawn IN the doorway on the way to brain scorcher control room

with no way around it

[celest sparrow]

mfw MCM > DAO > Delete Dynamic Anomalies

[zealous jasper]

I just walked into it and fucking died

It didn't appear there on reload

[river parcel]

dynamic spawns change on save load

I'd ask what the odds are that somebody's been instagibbed on save load by a dynamic anomaly, but I have a fucking quantum state yellow stash in my game anything and everything is possible

[zealous jasper]

So uh

Why don't NPC's light campfires so much on recent GAMMA versions?

Used to be if it was vaguely dark they'd basically always go up and light it

now I got NPC's who just sit around a dead fire

[river parcel]

they still do light fires, even during daylight, guess they just don't sometimes

[blissful ivy]

oh yeah good idea

[mental furnace]

they doing it after u reloading save/re-enter location

[zealous jasper]

They do now, but it's a lot more rare than before

[river parcel]

I'm still curious about how in the actual fuck I got a yellow stash tied to a Pin artefact and the Truck Cemetery active artefacts list

[wheat veldt]

I got another soul I'm happy again :)

[mental furnace]

[dusk vessel]

heading into prypiat with a redline jacket wish me luck

[blissful ivy]

hope you die

[dusk vessel]

i probably will, but its not ironman

[mental furnace]

[wheat veldt]

also got a whole fireball as a quest reward

+20 to thermal cap

that's nutty

[dusk vessel]

bruh advanced tools

lost the 50 50

[mental furnace]

fireball is actually goated artefact

[zealous jasper]

Aw yeah just gave all my vodka to Spirit

720 PKM rounds

[celest sparrow]

Real

[zealous jasper]

[wheat veldt]

hey man how's it goin

[celest sparrow]

Got one for free from the Ecologist quest

[wheat veldt]

love the light reflection in his helmet

[mental furnace]

is that a random reward?

[celest sparrow]

Assume so

[blissful ivy]

try 1400

thats what i carry

[solar chasm]

yeah going into cordon at the north

could do that

think that can't happen anymore

[river parcel]

barkeep you lazy bastard

[celest sparrow]

We didn't include that one i belive

[river parcel]

I still have my mind fried by the quantum yellow stash I got

[mental furnace]

still hunting for advanced tools at least i got gunsmith tools

[river parcel]

I hope that your advanced tools get stuck in stalker purgatory like mine so somebody else can have input on this bug

[zealous jasper]

and I broke every single one of them down for ammo parts

[blissful ivy]

fucking hell the repeater hurts

i hate that thing

it shouldnt be that strong

[blissful ivy]

waste ngl

better used in PKP

[river parcel]

I need somebody else to experience this so that I know I haven't been lost to the zone

[zealous jasper]

I can't handle the recoil on the PKP

[mental furnace]

5 days farming expert tools

amateur

[river parcel]

I'm not talking about time spent

I need you to get a yellow stash tied to a map's artefact pool

[dusk vessel]

should be stronger

[river parcel]

I need you to pick up an artefact and have the yellow stash marker attached to your own inventory, then when you hit a map transition the stash icon is gone and it's back in the map you just left attached to another artefact

Droon I wasn't talking about time

[mental furnace]

[celest sparrow]

ugly

[blissful ivy]

skissue + free artifacts

i see no issue

[mental furnace]

[river parcel]

free artefacts at the cost of my sanity

[vagrant wagon]

My thoughts on 0.9.4 so far:

• Less mutants, more stalker groups but they're smaller
• Feels like stamina got nerfed
• Ammo seems a lot more scarce for some reason

[river parcel]

I understood why stashes could spawn on inaccessible inventories, that's a reasonable bug, they're just looking for inventories right?

but

a map's artefacts sitting on the ground?

is that a fucking inventory somehow?

I can rationalize the stash spawn picking an NPC

but... an entire map?

the whole fucking map?

every artefact that's sitting on the ground in Truck Cemetery?

[wheat veldt]

my internal monologue when I enter a Psy anomaly

a second drug making kit

two very fun guns though

[oblique quest]

Hey, every extra is a free quest completion once you find somebody to toss it to.

[mental furnace]

[mental furnace]

thats goated tbh

[dusk vessel]

can craft yadulin

pretty goated indeed

[river parcel]

true it did come with a drug making kit too

free yad

[oblique quest]

Who's blind and clueless, me or the launcher? 'Cause as far as I am aware I did everything #💽how-to-update told me to do and ended up missing a bunch of mods.

Thankfully the console seems to be telling me all the mods I'm missing by going "WAAH, I CAN'T FIND (blank)" so I figure if I go get them myself then after I press "hey, please install/update, thanks" again it will actually install/update like it's supposed to.

[zealous jasper]

Unfortunately if you're missing mods it means you didn't follow the instructions correctly

Fucking pseudogiants in X16 reclears

[oblique quest]

My best guess would be antivirus interference, in which case doing it my damn self might be the fastest way around that particular headache anyway.

[zealous jasper]

it does say to make an exception in #🖥️how-to-install

[oblique quest]

IIRC now that I think of it this was an issue before.

[zealous jasper]

Windows will shit itself for no reason otherwise on some computers

[unborn basin]

guys, is the MP5A3 "Frasier" the best mp5 variant?

[oblique quest]

And apparently my fix was temporary. Probably just had to shut it all down for a moment to let it do its thing.

[zealous jasper]

Disabling Real Time Protection while it runs also works

[dusk vessel]

mp5sd6

[oblique quest]

The deal with that one is it's in .45, right? Then it depends: do you want to ever kill stalkers with it? If no, then yes. If yes, then no.

Yeah, I actually had already added the whole GAMMA folder and all subfolders as an exception, and that wasn't good enough.

Adding reminder of "hey, maybe turn off your antivirus for a few minutes, especially if you tried it and it didn't work" to #💽how-to-update might be nice.

Pretty sure this exact thing might have happened last time I went to update, but that was long enough ago I forgor.

[dusk vessel]

if he wants a mutant killer, fraiser is the best, but otherwise mp5sd6 using both hp and ap its better imo

basically a laser with negative recoil

[oblique quest]

No .45 Vector? (Actually, is there a vector at all?)

[dusk vessel]

hes asking mp5 variants

but yes the vector is ingame with .45

just super rare

[oblique quest]

Yeah, but if you're bougie enough to get a fancy unique MP5 variant in .45 and you could get a Vector in .45, you should probably just get that.

Honestly, a G36C with HP might be a decent contender for "gun which doesn't weigh ten kilograms but eats mutants for breakfast" too.

[dusk vessel]

any 5.56 or 5.45 with hp rounds will get the job done ngl

just some a bit better than others

since the hydroshock nerfs, im just using rifle rounds on hp mostly

switching ammo for humans

[oblique quest]

I wonder if there's a straight-up Tarkov-style extra bullet variants mod. 'Cause nothing too crazy, but adding, say, 7.62x54r SP or .357 FMJ would be some nice variety.

[dusk vessel]

that stuff exists

i know .357 fmj does just not in gamma

[oblique quest]

Yeah, but it does it come with or without stupid shit like incendiary and explosive?

[blissful ivy]

no the fraiser is everywhere lmao

G36K is better than G36C

[oblique quest]

I have literally only seen it for sale from that one guy in the ship. But maybe that's changed in the updates since.

[zealous jasper]

ITS TIME

[blissful ivy]

the original mod doesnt exist anymore

[zealous jasper]

Got the 2 hands I needed, now I just need black spray + 4 chimera hearts for Compass

[blissful ivy]

monolithic .357 is only in artis ammo mod

same with the 20g slugs

[zealous jasper]

IT LOST 1%

Ah well that's a tiny diff

[oblique quest]

For a main arm, definitely, but shaving a couple kilograms off for a sidearm is nice. A compromise between a full-size AR and an SMG.

[zealous jasper]

Respectable Fire Res

[blissful ivy]

wut?

i thought the c was longer

idk

wait no

its shorter

its the carbine

whatever

either way the weight isnt an issue

[dusk vessel]

k stands for kurz its short in english

and weight isnt really relevant yes

[blissful ivy]

brother i know

anyways

weight indeed means nothing

unless its over 11 kg, no issue

[oblique quest]

I believe the G36k is midsize. It's the M4A1 to the G36's M16. But then the G36c is even smaller and lighter.

[dusk vessel]

people be comparing guns weights to save 0.5kg on gun weight but then carry 10kg in junk

🔥

[oblique quest]

TRUEEE

[blissful ivy]

which is honestly not worth

id rather the UBGL than the 0.25kg gain

[oblique quest]

But what if I want to use the G36c because I think it's dope and I want that one in particular?

[dusk vessel]

just use whichever you find first its not that impactful

id use the full size if i had the choice anyway

[oblique quest]

I will gladly choose minor maluses on efficacy for big bonuses on style.

[plucky spade]

why when i was sprinting and looking into my ivnentgory my item disapeared?

[oblique quest]

Because shift drops items from the inventory, no?

[zealous jasper]

It's not as strong as the 20 round magazine AA12, but the SPAZ-12 wins out on cool points

[oblique quest]

TRUEEE

[zealous jasper]

By default Shift is drop item

[blissful ivy]

no

ngl

just no

[zealous jasper]

Yes

[plucky spade]

iahve sprint on shift

[blissful ivy]

aa-12 better in every way

[zealous jasper]

Yeah I know

[blissful ivy]

except reliability

[zealous jasper]

and sprint also drops items

No

[dusk vessel]

ew shotguns

[zealous jasper]

the Spaz mogs the AA-12 on style

[dusk vessel]

making mutants trivial

[oblique quest]

If we really want to talk style in a semi-auto shotgun nothing beats the M1014.

[zealous jasper]

the AA-12 just wins on performance

[blissful ivy]

ITS ITALIAN

AND?

[blissful ivy]

why grass disappears when my gun cover it-

[blissful ivy]

yeah thats nice, but why are they marketed as italian

[dusk vessel]

because it sells?

[mental furnace]

[dusk vessel]

its part of vw group

thats because theyre OWNED by germans, but made in italy
