[blissful ivy]

so lucky you

thats a fun one

id do that if i cared enough to, but the ammo is cheap as is

10 of each part? for 30?

yeah thats good

[hushed pier]

Turn on npcs use ballistics system if u have artigrok

[blissful ivy]

i do, i just havent

so maybe i do

i mean if you have it off, give them shotguns

they do fucktons of damage, since the calculations dont apply

so they just offload like 200 damage onto some poor monolith

[plucky spade]

what ya guys think about this dude?

[hushed pier]

yeh i have it one since i get oneshot by everything anyway so idc

[blissful ivy]

hes ok

[analog palm]

it did it for all rifle calibres

[inland spade]

really good

[blissful ivy]

i prefer cheeki breeki

[analog palm]

not just pkp

[blissful ivy]

[blissful ivy]

the amount of work needed

i just cant be asked lol

i could do it, i just wouldnt know what to do about the icons

[hushed pier]

well unless i got a rpg then that is a bit better lmao

[blissful ivy]

idk im just dumb as rocks, and i could probably figure out the ammo coding/configs but icons are beyond me which is sad

[analog palm]

it's pretty easy actually

just a bit of work

[blissful ivy]

really?

[analog palm]

yea, for configs you can just use presets

[blissful ivy]

i also dont know how to make icons, i know juan does it in blender

but hes also a modeller/animator

[analog palm]

i used paint.net

[blissful ivy]

im just a retard with dltx ability

also paint.net is peak

[analog palm]

just added some noise to ammo, to show it was 'zone-produced'

[blissful ivy]

no mistaking it

because you can make anything you need even with a mouse

as long as you have time

since you can just zoom in a fuck ton

to do a straight line

[hushed pier]

Best looking pkm but im not gonna use it the sr25

is sexy rn

[analog palm]

@blissful ivy for base gamma ballisitcs you can actually just modify old ammo for this stuff, dont need to make new types

[blissful ivy]

yeah i cant do that

[blissful ivy]

ew sr25

icky

[analog palm]

why not

it's just .ltx edit

[blissful ivy]

yeah icky

[blissful ivy]

i use artigrok, already uses old ammo

[analog palm]

oh

yea i made it with artigrok

this is it, you just need to make appropriate files for icons and description/name

and add recipe

[hushed pier]

Guess who gone drink this

Fkn hell why is my disguise getting blown

[last mesa]

[upper topaz]

how to change the keybind for this?

i dont see nothing in the setting

[hushed pier]

mcm > dotmarks

[upper topaz]

very informative

i placed the door and cant pick it up it just opens instead

nvm i destroyed it...

[glad plaza]

you can't pickup doors iirc

[upper topaz]

but i placed it down?

[hushed pier]

this is getting out of hand

mmmmm very noice

[glad plaza]

i mean can't do it after you place it down

you need to destroy it

[upper topaz]

then why there is pickup thingy?

[glad plaza]

dunno

[plucky spade]

i dotn fucking know why but i love playing as Ecologist

[dire raptor]

Are the optical upgrade kits even used for any weapons anymore?

[upper topaz]

wtf, when i hit the wall with sledge hammer it moves

[plucky spade]

a d e a r

[upper topaz]

oh dear

[ashen fox]

Is there any reliable way how to make player character use only English, except playing UNSIG/MERC?

[timber nimbus]

bruh
ig i dont need ak103 anymore xD

[broken valley]

havent seen dat god gun in ages instant gg

[plucky spade]

what shit replaces renegades with bandits?

i meet reneagdes in place where badnits shall be

[inland spade]

renegades are badints+

i met a rookie renegade in exo

[plucky spade]

i need bandit patches

not renegades

[inland spade]

then idk

[harsh sandal]

random bandit in AW

[jade pond]

apparently even with 85% bullet resist and br class of 65 from exoskeleton I can't just stand in the open and tank all the damage. Just got a reality check at the construction site in Linsmak

[harsh sandal]

[timber nimbus]

i had 4 in my recent playthrough, but not a single sds pmc EVER
i have no idea why rng hates me so much

[harsh sandal]

"Let me do some quests in AW real quick"

[timber nimbus]

oof

[harsh sandal]

Half hour later:

[jade pond]

where did you farm for this gun? It's only drop from Unisig it's hard to find those guys even in the North

[timber nimbus]

north
i do a little unisg genocide daily
sometimes they have good stuff

[jade pond]

managed to get an isg 7.62x39 and 5.45. No 9x39 yet unfortunately

[plucky spade]

[timber nimbus]

939 is very rare, like rare rare

[timber nimbus]

wait
459 how much dmg?
the fuck

[plucky spade]

?

i have arti balistics biut idk if it changed values of base ammo-

[timber nimbus]

which cursed mod did u add to have more than twice normal dmg?

ah, lel

[oblique quest]

What the f- that toilet was a stash the whole time!?

Me when I eat the toilet morphine

[timber nimbus]

many restrooms have stashes everywhere))

[clear kite]

yo, how did you change the backpack model?

[plucky spade]

mods

[clear kite]

could you point me towards the direction of the mod?

[pliant kestrel]

go back 50 meters, then turn left

[plucky spade]

im o nphome rn

[sick yoke]

You still take 15% of the damage so yeah

[clear kite]

shit, i knew i missed the turn, thanks

[oblique quest]

[ashen fox]

Any good mod to add more player voicelines, cues, or triggers etc.? I tried Insurgency Spec Ops mod which added English lines and for some reason suddenly my character had more voicelines in Russian as well, which I assume were already there but I never heard them trigger

[plucky spade]

lest have some fun fps drops

maybe cuz i have this

[lost bridge]

Chat I have acquired the Bulat suit

(in IWP)

I won't be getting heavy pockets achievement any sooner

[rose musk]

my game would just crash on startup ngl

[unborn yew]

the new npc ui is nice

[reef iris]

Has anybody noticed in the dead city mercenary base, when you open a a chest of your items that's probably only 300 KG total right now for the base, then you open the PDA, frame rates start getting murdered and falling like flies to around 10 or 15 fps?

[dusk vessel]

try getting rid of high numbers of low tier items like broken gun parts or craft gun parts into ammo

stockpiling items can cause this

[plucky spade]

mmm nice weather

[ashen fox]

Can someone explain to me how can Eliminate mutant for Duty fail? I don't get it *I forgot that it happens if task giver dies, hope that will be changed one day...

[unborn yew]

how much do the red med kits cost?

[dusk vessel]

just avoid taking tasks from roaming stalkers, only ones that are stationed at bases

[carmine cypress]

like 2.7k

[ashen fox]

Yep, I just forgot about this so was confused for a moment. Eitherway I will keep taking those missions and if they die just keep reloading until they don't 😄

[hollow wadi]

Should play Schizo Slav modpacks where 99% balls res gets you killed so you need 100% to run past a helicopter gatling gun

[ashen fox]

If it would be just mission fail without loss of reputation I wouldn't care but the loss doesn't make sense

[blissful ivy]

you can with 95%

[last mesa]

Luckily can't reach 95% anymore

Although 90% is of course still too high

[blissful ivy]

you can reach 95%

with a nifty mod

technically the mod isnt meant to allow that

but it does

[last mesa]

You can also reach 100% with a mod

200% too

[blissful ivy]

i mean sure, but mine is fun

and legitimate to a certain extent

also 90% - 95% isnt the biggest difference

both make you nearly unkillable unless you really fuck it up

i mean in my 95% run, i remember face tanking a .338 and an AP 5.56 at once

was kinda cool

[last mesa]

Just 50% less damage not a big deal

[jade pond]

wait 95%? Isn't 90% the hard cap? compass + full empty + empty give you 90%

[blissful ivy]

not with a funky little mod

[blissful ivy]

yeah i know

not a big deal

[jade pond]

which mod is it?

[blissful ivy]

anyways, shut it maple boi, you dont exist

[blissful ivy]

#1345570393548652644 message

dis one

its an UNINTENDED feature

i did alert him to it, he didnt fix it tho

so its a feature

[jade pond]

1% make you go from "I'm gonna fucking die" to "harder daddy"? How is that possible?

[blissful ivy]

it just works

[blissful ivy]

i mean 99 - 100 is a good bit, since it goes from some damage, to NO damage

if a weapon does shit tons of damage, 99% wont help

but if it does shit tons of damage with 100% youre untouchable

[jade pond]

make sense

[blissful ivy]

since its immunity

rather than decrease

thats also why 90 - 95 is a bit deal

like maple said

90% -95% is a 50% decrease in damage taken

so it makes sense that 95 is such a busted number

and why 90% is a hard limit

[jade pond]

hm I can jump to 90% but the rad resist will go below 70%. Even with rad pill it might not enough for the cnpp map

[hollow wadi]

Oh it's something the slav community calls "hardcore"
That 1% is enough to one-tap you :>

[blissful ivy]

what you got? show me your stuff

i wanna see the kit

[hollow wadi]

If you ever play an eastern european modpack and a task leads you into a cave with 2-3 pseudogiants, a fuckton of snorks, bloodsuckers, and anomalies -- yes, it was in fact designed to be completeable

[blissful ivy]

ok so basically eastern european modpacks are just a game version of a kick in the balls?

the most "no fun allowed" pack ever?

[unborn yew]

how to stealth kill?

[hollow wadi]

Oh but fun is allowed -- if you're willing to get it

[blissful ivy]

yeah i dont want to play a painful experience for a minimum of 10 hours or so of gameplay, just to have a lick of fun

that seems boring

id rather boot a western modpack thats not hardcore enough and doesnt make you hate yourself

[hollow wadi]

Eastern modpacks crawled from under the ground so the western ones could steal EFT assets

[jade pond]

here you go. The fire thingy is prometheus, it give me health regen to counteract compass without any minus to bullet resist.

[unborn yew]

i have a question. i have a ukraine with love mission. in the freedom base how am i supposed to do it.

[scenic trench]

kill everyone except who has a svd?

[blissful ivy]

what prometheus?

me confused

[unborn yew]

theres like 10 people

[blissful ivy]

am i missing something?

[blissful ivy]

use binoculars

to see weapons

and if thats not option, just reload saves until you kill the svd guy last

[unborn yew]

i know who it is the enemies are the issue

[blissful ivy]

just kill them

[jade pond]

would not recommend getting it unless you're min-maxing. Fucking pain in the ass to get

[small basalt]

that upgrade kit at the bottom disappeared after i loted it. is that not supposed to be in the loot table?

[unborn yew]

the svd guy dies in like 5 seconds

[blissful ivy]

what even is it bro

ive never heard of it

[scenic trench]

that's from base anomaly
so, kinda yes
upgrade kits in anomaly are arse (there's about 40? different ones)

[jade pond]

you get it from doing the Living fire quest for snitch in the bar after completing the shard of monolith quest

[rose musk]

Learn something new everyday I guess

[random grail]

That's vanilla anomaly upgrade kit which either despawns or changes into gamma version

[unborn yew]

how does stealth kills work? with melee

[small basalt]

makes sense. thanks!

thought i found a super rare ugrade kit

[glacial tangle]

wish i could wear a certain armor as cosmetic only, while keeping the stats of my current one

[jade pond]

during the sin questline in linsmak. Where's the PDA that the loner dropped?

[broken valley]

on the ground next where u talked to him its a bit random,when your unlucky its in an anomaly

[blissful ivy]

oh ok, lame

i didnt bother with snitch

i usually shot him for good luck

and every run ive shot him on, ive usually gotten far or made it

[jade pond]

like I said if you're not min-maxing just go for heart of the oasis or firefly + morphine to get to 90%. I just don't like having to pop morphine every so often so I took the time to do the quest

[last mesa]

have anyone tried to change weapon/ammo stats or well know how to

[last mesa]

i forgot i have artigrok on it should be easy

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/962000142653870130/1402886753928351785/image0.gif

[dire raptor]

There is no way the jam chance % is right

4.4% jam chance and I jam every second buck in a 5 round shotgun

[last mesa]

it's a pure RNG

[unborn yew]

did somebody have a map of all the rfm frequency locations?

[dapper gorge]

I want an artifact that lets me dark souls parry any physic projection from mutants

make it a hard craft

but it would be awesome

[last mesa]

yeah llooked at arti list and im like

https://tenor.com/view/silly-gif-1765839720796790298

[sturdy wagon]

Sooo did the things for unjam reload and the key is binded and its still not reloading?

[dapper gorge]

When you press it twice while standing still it does nothing? Ive had that problem a dozen times this update

[sturdy wagon]

Sooo I found two different reload binds this time, fixed it..Haven't seen that before?

[dapper gorge]

I just have them both on r. For whatever reason this update the jams seem to bug out very often. I have a 0 percent jam chance pistol that has jammed and failed to fix around a dozen times

[unborn yew]

where can i get the stationary workbench from?

[cloud salmon]

I love windows.

I go to setup stalker(have to reinstall from windows to put on linux again)

hmm whats this error? cant read sha1? weird. okay.

just try that again extract everything again.

nope. wont read the stuff. wtf.

do a bunch of troubleshooting. take ownership, change permissions, fix stuff. naw. I'm looking at it.
ok one more time.

step. by. step again.

get to the part where you put launcher 6.7 in there.

oh. Oh i see. Thank you bill gates.

windows is just automatically locking down the gamma folder as soon as its extracted. Then when I try to put anything in there. It freaks out. but it doesnt tell me it's freaking out. It just does that in the background. It's just sitting there. in the background. not moving this file despite dissapearing as if it did.

So I manually remove the files that are to be replaced. Then I manually put them in there with fucking admin powershell. "oh look at that. its working."

this is a brand new windows install. bill gates wtf is your problem. Anyway.

[hidden heron]

windows is becoming more shitty with every itteration anyway...

cant wait for steam OS to become a proper competitor

[dapper gorge]

I believe it unlocks at your faction trader after doing enough missions to farm rep. I could be wrong Im just coming back to the game

[small basalt]

how do i get rid of a stuck heartbeat and whispers sound effect?

[ashen fox]

Well my ironman run ended on day three, I heard two muffled shots don't know from where and was dead...Classic

[hidden heron]

classic? that sounds pretty normal and nothing out of the ordinary

try getting killed by a pulse anomaly mid gunfight.... 3 fucking times in a row

[plucky spade]

psy health or smth?

[hollow prawn]

yeah that sounds like low psy health

stay out of psy-zones and just wait, go get a drink or something

[fossil plinth]

what does the game mean by "led toggle"? there doesnt seem to be any kind of toggle for this scope

[radiant sage]

Hit =

[fossil plinth]

oooooooo. thanks

[potent wadi]

I'm having trouble with increasing stalker populations in-game. It doesn't matter what I change between the ZCP settings for population, squad size, and variance, I keep on ending up with a total registered STALKER size of about 350 with every new game save I make.

Is there something I'm missing?

[glacial tangle]

now im clueless as hell about artifacts but i crafted some and found some, this is all i got in terms of artifact slots items, i got some other pelts like a chimera one but more of the same if anything, now i finished MS and BS and im heading north, never used artifacts before so idk what is good or bad

[hidden heron]

Full empty is pretty good

but get somethign to negate its negative effects

i mean frnakly... as long as you have artifacts that give you ballistic resistance you should be fine

ballistic and possibly explosive

[glacial tangle]

so in artifacts i look for ballistic and explosive mainly, stamina, weight ect.. as secondary bonuses ?

ofc with the negation of sideeffects

[hollow prawn]

Rupture resistance is a good one too

[glacial tangle]

what does impact do

[hollow prawn]

protection against gravity anomalies

whirligigs, springboards, that stuff

rupture is protection against mutant attacks if I recall correctly

[glacial tangle]

ah

[sick surge]

ive never tried to disguise while playing sin is it possible since my player is zombie like?

[hidden heron]

lab X-18 doesnt have a pseudogiant anymore?

[sick surge]

mightve removed it a lot of players were getting stun locked at a distance by it

[hidden heron]

i dont mind at all tbh, the 300 poltergeists are already enough of an annoyance

https://i.imgur.com/6WgzOsa.jpeg****

well fuck me, nvm

[random grail]

It does

[hidden heron]

it died on its own

loser walked into a noxious anomaly, lel

get rekt scrub

[random grail]

[hidden heron]

oh fuckers dont even attack you even if you shoot them?

only when you move?

my dudes i legit forgot where you have to go after getting the second code

[dapper gorge]

I just walked out of the mobile science lab and got brought to 10 percent hp by a lightening anomaly

inside the complex too. Wild

[hidden heron]

yewah i know but where exactly

[dapper gorge]

Moment i opened the door

AH you meant re your comment

no idea dont remember

[hidden heron]

oh thats what you meant

[random grail]

[hidden heron]

turns out the door with the knocking sound glitched out

[molten bone]

Do I just find the USP overwatch, or do I need a kit or something?

[random grail]

It's rare drop

[molten bone]

Alright, thanks

[glacial tangle]

hold on a sec, isnt this for exo repairing ?

damn, i got it from the brain scorcher, insane luck i guess

[plucky spade]

i got burn out from anomaly wtf

[molten bone]

What stalker rifle do you recommend? Also, what AP ammo would you recommend?

[plucky spade]

i guess its MONOLITH time

[wicked kernel]

Depends whether or not you have an expert toolkit, and whether you want an assault rifle or dedicated sniper rifle.

[molten bone]

Late game, have everything, I wanna create my best "last game" loadout basically. So far I have decided on the ump overwatch for mutants, m98b as a sniper, and now I need a stalker rifle

[wicked kernel]

So you got the Barrett already. Personally recommend the RD-939. It's absolutely vicious, can attach a grenade launcher, and has several flatness upgrades. It's also the small rifle crafting pool so it won't clash with the Barrett's resources.

[molten bone]

money is not an issue

[molten bone]

Damn, great response, thanks, I will try it out

[wicked kernel]

I mean I've already had both for awhile, not about the money. You're gonna get small rifle resources anywhere no matter what you do, might as well use 'em.

[molten bone]

What does it look like?

I swear I can't find it

[wicked kernel]

@molten bone Pretty sure I got mine from an ISG. Some sci-fi shit. No suppressor, but it kinda won't matter. lol.

[molten bone]

I fucking swear I cant find it, this is the closest thing

Do you have a mod or something?

Am I fucking crazy? I'm gonna check a 4th time

It's in the rifle category right?

I am actually blind, I found it

Thank you for the picture, I read that it's a VSS and I found it, jesus christ

[wicked kernel]

And here I went and screenied the debug to show you. Have fun with it, it's a murder machine.

[molten bone]

Mercs don't sell that ammo right?

[wicked kernel]

I actually don't remember, I've never bought any. I had a nice 5.45 rifle for awhile, but kept an absolute minimum of bullets on it, just because I knew the RD-939 was out there, so I've been scrapping small rifle ammo the whole run.

[humble shoal]

only a merc trader at outskirts do

[molten bone]

Meeker?

[prisma crag]

Can I switch to clear sky or freedom as a renegade?

[last mesa]

If you first switch to a faction that's allied with them yes
So for freedom bandits

[prisma crag]

Alrighty

[prisma crag]

Where do i switch to a bandit

[molten bone]

Dark valley I think, at sultan

He should be the leader

Distant gunshots sound so much better

Just tanked a headshot lmao

Gunshots in general sound better

is the ak-12 hyperburst the same as the an-94?

[prisma crag]

[wild harbor]

Does anyone even know what the headlamp w/ oracle psi stimulator do?

[cobalt glade]

Iirc absolutely nothing, other than being just a flashlight/nvgs combo, unless there's something I don't know about

[prisma crag]

ADAR 2-15, I love it and hate it but the second I repair either this AK or M4 its gone

Swamps as a bandit with only a headlamp is fuckin scary

[shadow cave]

Does anyone know how to fix the issue where armor stats as they show up in debug aren't the same as when the armor is in your inventory?

[prisma crag]

best version of NVG's

[shadow cave]

I'm not sure if it affects the actual values or not but it is pretty annoying

[sick yoke]

you can't fix it

grok just didn't make the debug stats match the actual stats

[shadow cave]

Oh okay, I'm gonna assume it doesn't affect gameplay then

Thanks for the info

[forest grotto]

whats the current best method for moving your base from one spot to the other?

still just guide fast travel?

[crimson rain]

is there a way behind busy hand crash

[prisma crag]

Would I have to become freedom to become clear sky as a bandit?

[wicked kernel]

I used to just cart it, but after so many runs now I just turn on God mode and sprint the whole way, no looting allowed on transit. But I also tend to set up base in safe areas, so I'm not making 4 or 5 runs to take down the odd bandit or pack of dogs just to keep it real.

[stuck zephyr]

exo recipe can drop from any master/legend, right?

[wicked kernel]

Not sure if it has a level lock like the Nosorog does, which is Scav. Level 17.

[stuck zephyr]

wait, what, the noso has a skill requirement to drop?

[wicked kernel]

Yupp. Scavenger Level 17.

[sick yoke]

it's not a requirement but yeah

[wicked kernel]

Well is it or isn't it? lol. When I was farming it, all the chatter I searched up in here said Scav. 17, and sure enough, mine didn't drop until I had it.

[sick yoke]

!scavenging

[dawn marten]

If your Scavenging skill level is too low, items have a chance to despawn from the bodies you loot:

• Nosorog exoskeletons (85%)
• Cz-M10 Spartan helmets (50%)
• other items except weapons and armor (0.25-4%)
  To avoid the despawn your Scavenging skill has to be level 17 or higher.

Additionally, in order to loot an outfit or a helmet from a body a certain rank value is required. The requirement is almost negligible, rank value as small as 7000 is enough to meet a rank requirement for any equipment.

[sick yoke]

there you go

[wicked kernel]

Ohhhh, interesting.. Now I know what you mean, thanks.

[wild harbor]

I know but does it actually do anything

[prisma crag]

nah

I think the whole psi thing means it uses psi power to let you see or some nerdy fuckshit

da crib

[long rapids]

there doors and walls i never built shit..

lol

[prisma crag]

I wanted it to be an actual safe spot lmao

anyway, boutta repair this bad boy

[long rapids]

i started a new game and i want you and i kinda wish i could just pick wich voice my caracter uses xD

[pastel abyss]

careful i once lost a billion hour iron man in a nosorog with capped stats from full hp because i touched a piece of wood too quickly and i instantly died. im afraid of furniture now

[cobalt glade]

Just you wait until some bandito casually phases through that wall and gives you a buckshot backshot

[prisma crag]

I am a bandit

[long rapids]

coze clearsky is natural with mercs so tay could speek english

[prisma crag]

I want to switch to clearsky but I gotta get to freedom first

[cobalt glade]

Just a backshot then

[prisma crag]

The shotgun is straight succ dookie ass

[long rapids]

this a rifle

[sick yoke]

it's just white nvgs

[prisma crag]

oh yeah

Cant wait to get an SG 550-1 Arrow

my favorite rifle

[oblique reef]

Doesn't that thing just not exist?

[prisma crag]

Or an RD 939 would be cool

[prisma crag]

What the SG?

Its a gun in game

I used it in my last save

[oblique reef]

Yeah I only ever see the normal SG 550 or the custom

[prisma crag]

It might be a FWP gun

here ill go into debug and check

[oblique reef]

I recall the Arrow just not having any 3DSS when I spawned it in last time

[prisma crag]

nah its real

[prisma crag]

it does

[oblique reef]

strange, must be really rare for me for some reason, or I never noticed it

[prisma crag]

I found 2 of them on my last playthrough

its so much fun to use

To get a yellow stash, finish 7 tasks, then keep doing things that will get you stash coordinates (e.g. more tasks, opening PDAs, looting bodies). You get a 50% chance of receiving a yellow stash each time. This resets upon finding a yellow stash - then you need to do 7 more tasks, and look for more stash coordinates afterwards. _ _||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​|| _ _ _ _ _ https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1098945649929617478/1313545970549526649/image.png?ex=67508683&is=674f3503&hm=acbe9b90a681d4c21c9e8f847bd919eb0dd8bd9b7e44b1af7a1d35527456e780&

is the Lynx unobtainable or how does it work?

[prisma crag]

Same with the RAPTR, super fucking OP

[forest grotto]

Huh.

Did not know there was a 6% chance of advanced tools in darkscape

[stuck zephyr]

hypest gun in the game

[forest grotto]

i thought my game was fucking up lmao

[stuck zephyr]

are there any better mutant killing guns than the vector or raptr?

[prisma crag]

Nope

RAPTR with slugs is very effective against stalkers too

[oblique reef]

Doesn't show up when looking at the loadouts and doesn't have 3DSS for me.

[stuck zephyr]

with the darts even mono can go down quite effectively

[prisma crag]

hmm lemme check

[lusty gate]

Full belt of ball artifacts

[oblique reef]

I'm just gonna assume you have a mod that adds it back in with 3DSS or something

[prisma crag]

huh it doesnt for me after updating, must have added a mod

then again I didnt use a magnified scope with it

a red dot scope worked fine

I had a barret already when I repaired it so I never tried it ouit

Do any of the SG 550 have 3DSS?

[oblique reef]

The normal and the custom do, its just that the Arrow is debug only

[prisma crag]

huh, strange

I swear it was an Arrow that I had found

I was on 0.9.3

I really just want an SG 550

any of em

love that gun

[oblique reef]

Looking at the older versions of 3DSS it seems like it did have 3DSS, but Athi must've removed it for later versions

[prisma crag]

kinda lame

I really would like something to use as a sniper

ive currently got a shitass shotgun and an XM177

[oblique reef]

You can probably go into the older downloads and get that file/any of the ogfs if you really want it back in

[celest sparrow]

Finished Radiophobia 3 by giving Strelok HIV

[oblique reef]

You should've made him download my mod and get AIDS instead

Man earlier my game was STRUGGLIN

No idea why

it kinda just started running properly again

[long rapids]

fu where do i find 357

[prisma crag]

your pants

I have an SVD

I am like halfway to repairing it

its got a suppressor too, prolly wont use it thoug

Just need the tools

speaking of

what tools do I need to repair an SVD?

Advanced?

(please dont be expert)

[stuck zephyr]

expert

its D

[prisma crag]

fuck

I have some stashes in Red Forest I can go grab, just gotta pray

I need to become freedom first and somehow avoid rostok

[oblique reef]

By the time you get expert you probably have several D guns that outperform the SVD

I get the Groza being D but I feel like the SVD is really on the lowest end of D class

[prisma crag]

whattabout a K98K?

Just advanced?

[stuck zephyr]

the basic svd honestly could be C

[oblique reef]

Kar is basic lmao

[prisma crag]

oh sick

[stuck zephyr]

the SVDS and the other variants can stay at D

[oblique reef]

If I remember right

[prisma crag]

I can repair this K98 then

[oblique reef]

Cuz Basic is B and Advanced is C

[stuck zephyr]

kar is B so basic is enough

[long rapids]

am such a lucky son of a bitch XD found this in a bandit

[prisma crag]

I can also buy an advanced kit for it

the tacticle kit

[oblique reef]

That's a ZCP setting innit? I feel like bandits should not be allowed to have T3 gear

[stuck zephyr]

also dumb the svds is 10 round for some reason even though I am pretty sure the model and icon show the 20 round mag

[prisma crag]

Fuck you

[oblique reef]

Anon wall of text?

[reef iris]

Is there a mcm option or mod controlling how often mutants drop parts?

[prisma crag]

Holy shit anon

Barman asks Strelok if he wants to look into the disappearance of a Duty squad down in Dark Valley
The Military has become a lot more active for an unknown reason, as another Duty squad is holding down defense in the Loner Camp, you are told that the squad that went missing is in Agroprom Underground

Going into Agroprom Underground, you found traces of Duty soldiers while the Military roams the area. You soon find out why, as within Strelok's hideout, there's a wounded scientist.

The scientist explains that he was part of a Military operation to find any information about ZNOY-13 in Lab X-18. But only he and another colleague knew about ZNOY-13, somehow the Military squad knew about the research and were plotting to steal any information, killing all of the scientists involved. He and another scientist made it out alive.

So you go to Dark Valley, find traces about what happened and you find about a Maniac who somehow managed to kill an entire military squad with a Machete. You find some documents and a case regarding ZNOY-13, which when returned to one of the living scientists, warns Strelok that he has been infected with an unknown virus, unsure how much time he has left.

Strelok heads over with Sakharov, not having enough information about ZNOY-13 but there is mentions of some information within Lab X-16. Strelok soon enters X-16 to find the Military going through the place to find anything regarding ZNOY-13, which Strelok only finds some documents. Sakharov tells Strelok that there should have been another case, becoming a goose chase to find it. You acquire information about Freedom working with the Military, which you have to find out who is working with them.

The Military hits Rostok, Barman tells you about a Freedom Spy that could potentially reveal more about the situation and the guy you're looking for as he can't believe Freedom is working with the Military.

where the fuck in X8 are the documents for strelok?

did it so many times in regular CoP and Misery

can never find the Living Legend version

[solar chasm]

But yeah, this is why you don't base where hostile npcs can travel to

[celest sparrow]

Finding the Spy, he asks for you to find some information within the Freedom base, rather easy to do as everyone is too high to notice.
The PDA gives out information about a squad member of the dude you are looking for, which you head towards their last known location.

Finding the guy, he first thanks Strelok for getting rid of the Bloodsuckers around the area as he was wounded from the encounter. He then explains that a Freedom group was tasked to dress up as Duty, recording the execution of Military soldiers to piss of the Military and attack Rostok. But with Rostok already being attacked, the execution doesn't have to happen.

You head towards the area where the execution is bound to happen, but you're too late. The remains of the Freedom traitors gives out a PDA, giving the location of the dude you're looking for.

You eventually find the Guy™ in X-16 once more, telling you that your search has been for nothing as a Mercenary squad took the case, but they should still be around Wild Territory. You head over there, kill everyone, and recover the case to take back to Sakharov.

Sakharov can't help you with your situation, so you go back to the Scientist you found in Agroprom Underground. Which he can't help as well, but explains ZNOY-13 was initially research to cure anything, but which was turned into a combat virus when mixed with HIV. Most of the test subjects died or survived with horrible side effects, only a few survived being numb to pain, which the Military was interested with. The scientist can't help you currently but will try to contact you once he is able to leave the zone and find more about ZNOY-13. Strelok tells him to look for Barkeep in Rostok for a lead, as he will leave the documents with him.

And that's how it ends, with Strelok finding out he got lucky with super HIV

[prisma crag]

I plan on moving to freedom base once im clear sky, right now im bandit

I dont have a ton

[solar chasm]

I have suggested a fix for it (forced online prevention radius around most full deployable craftjng bench)

[celest sparrow]

i have to get back to working on my assignments fuck my chud incel life

[solar chasm]

But atm the forced online prevention radius around the player itself doesn't work consistently so that isn't quite on the cards just yet

[prisma crag]

I just have a stash and a bedroll in the room so its not bad

Small stash I could move in like 2 runs

hell maybe even one

[long rapids]

i encountered the Aura Farming ecologist squad XD

[prisma crag]

Lmao

I want to become clearsky before I move my stash to freedom base, even though im becoming freedom to become clear sky as to not have to deal with duty

[stuck zephyr]

arent the documents supposed to be here?

am not sure what spot or ruin that is in from that angle XD

[stuck zephyr]

like this?

[prisma crag]

yes

same helmet and armor too

but no suppressor on the M98b

sounds so much better with it off

The little bonuses arent worth it

ok, this has to be a bug, the docs for Strelok dont exist

are they a physics object burers can toss?

does it have a good barrell

[prisma crag]

its everybodies favorite gun

basic bitch

[solid swift]

yea becaue its a good gun

[prisma crag]

I use a howa when i find it but I heavily prefer the 550

[solid swift]

if something is good people are gonna use it

man i ran a swamp thing this play thru

realized how bad it sucks

mf kept jamming so much

[prisma crag]

swamp thing is great early-mid game

[prisma crag]

yerp

RD-74, Draco ISG, RD 939, would love too have one of those

Great guns

[cobalt glade]

May I point out the rd939 is also a basic bitch gun

[prisma crag]

A howa would also be cool but still basic bitch

[cobalt glade]

Yeah, the howa is essentially the scar in 556 if it was good, also never liked rd939, it greatly lacks the vibe of the as val it's based upon

[valid loom]

SCAR-L but japonese

[cobalt glade]

Something something sukarru-erru

[valid loom]

Im rather fond of the Vikhr more than the AS Val tho

dance dance revolution 5?

[wild ivy]

revolution?

overthrow the government?

uhh i think so

[prisma crag]

It might, depends if the game uses a ton of ram

[dusky sandal]

BRO

THATS WHAT I ASKED

[prisma crag]

I said it depends

Sometimes the game dosent even use 8 gigs

at my stash on my old save it used 17

the game varies wildly

[dusky sandal]

oh i didnt know xray was capable

thought it was 32 bit

[prisma crag]

But there are alot of games nowadays that use more then 16 gigs of ram so going to 32 was a wise choice

[dusky sandal]

yeah i upgraded to run the oblivion reblandster

[prisma crag]

I believe its because of the absurd amount mods

[dusky sandal]

that doesnt channge how much ram a 32 bit program can use but i kinda get ya

[prisma crag]

Ive got 64 gigs of DDR5 and its overkill for games

[dusky sandal]

32 is overkill for games

its just that devs stopped optimising memory

left it to automated programs that dont do a good job

[prisma crag]

It very much can use more ram then a normal 32 bit program, I believe its 64 bit

maybe I dunno

maybe my afterburner was all wack

[prisma crag]

32 is the standard now

hate it or love it

16 gets the job done though

[dusky sandal]

i had to double take when i tried out marvel rivals and it hit 18gb of usage

the game's assets are like runescape

is the whole damn map loaded into ram???

[prisma crag]

Rivals is not optimized like at all

I also hate hero shooters so it gives me even more reason to shit on it

Hi All!

I have a few questions to PAW users (Personal Adjustable Waypoints):

1. Which features of this mod you use the most?
2. Do you use the tag feature?
3. Do you use "turn stash into marker" feature?
4. Do you enable cartography mode?
5. Do you change any settings in MCM before using it?
6. Do you rebind keys?

[analog palm]

soups dont really do much about levels actually

existing ones at least

[celest sparrow]

[signal sage]

...do anomalies have a bigger range once you enter a vehicle?

Or do vehicles have an absurd hitbox instead?

Cuz i saw people get caught by a Springboard despite being FAR from the usual range of one of them lol

[analog palm]

probably hitbox

[oblique quest]

Wait, you can disassemble bandages?

no bandage here, no

[oblique quest]

[ashen fox]

Can some Freedom player explain what's the appeal to them? I'm just trying to wrap my head around to find out single positive thing I could say about them

[celest sparrow]

You get to start with the Glock Hornet

that's it

[nocturne roost]

Where would I post screenshots of base game issues with the items being a bit to hight in the air? Would that be bug report or just bugs suggestions? Or base game support?

Things like fireplaces, trees ect?

And gravle piles... those are main culprits

[ashen plover]

Everyone up north(except the kill everyone factions) are your allies
Starting in AW, with easy access to dead city and dark valley

[analog palm]

the first point is a pretty big negative

[ashen plover]

With monolith being everywhere not really

[last mesa]

Wtf???

[radiant star]

wtf???

[nocturne roost]

You mean gameplay wise or ideology wise?

[ashen fox]

Ideology, I mean they just seems like a no-purpose deatbeats to be frank? Duty while having frutile goal at least improve zone for everyone by clearing mutants and their nests.

[sick yoke]

they want the zone to be available to everyone who wants to enter

duty is ontologically evil or something

[molten bone]

You use this thermal shit? :))

[ashen fox]

And at the same time they friendly to bandits which make zone more deadly for everyone who wants to enter, again Duty help with that too by killing them out and is friendly to regular Stalkers (Gamma wise)

[molten bone]

mf looks like 1998 prince of persia game

[sick yoke]

Yeah but gamma is fanfiction

[analog palm]

bandits are a part of 'everyone'

canon wise i think freedom just tolerate bandits

not frendly

[sick yoke]

And the faction relations are silly

[celest sparrow]

Faction relations often change up in canon

[sick yoke]

Mfw the literally nonexistent faction is friendly with almost everyone in anomaly:

What is clear sky doing

[mental furnace]

uuuuh drugs?

[ashen fox]

Well rebuilding since Clear Sky game ending, as almost everyone worth to mention died in the center. I would say that the task to help them retake Swamps fall into this explanation well.

[celest sparrow]

Not really

Last Dawn is just a direct reference to the "Tutorial" sequence seen in Clear Sky, as you reclaim the same areas in both Games

[undone flare]

400 fps is crazy your system must be getting toasty

[celest sparrow]

Clear Sky has no reason to exist in Stalker Canon after the events of CSky, as the few surviving members want nothing to do with it, that being Nimble and Novikov

[last mesa]

Just the test map

[analog palm]

dawn was a faction is sgm i think

[molten bone]

whats the trident

[oblique quest]

Freedom boils down to essentially the same as Loners, but taken to extremes: just chill guys which want to experience the Zone, and want everyone else to have the opportunity open to experience the Zone if they wish (without the possibility of getting shot at by the military), in the same way that you can just decide to embark on an expedition to Mount Everest for example.

There's a little bit of almost vegan-esque ideology along the fringes, like "NOO, YOU CAN'T TAKE THE ARTEFACTS, THOSE ARE THE ZONE'S, NOO, YOU CAN'T KILL THE MUTANTS, THEY'RE JUST THE WILDLIFE" but that isn't the majority. For the most part their relationship with the Zone itself is an extension of their general live-and-let-live philosophy: don't fuck with the Zone, it only makes everything worse.

That painpoint is actually the main reason they and Duty clash, I believe. Because Duty wants to destroy the Zone by any means (or costs) necessary, but Freedom feels that not only would that be like destroying a world wonder, it's also a terrible idea and trying would only make everything worse.

They may-or-may not be believers in the wonders of the Zone potentially bringing about good for mankind in the same way the Ecologists do (harnessing the anomalous effects of artefacts and mutant biology), although I might be cross-contaminating them with Clear Sky/straight-up projecting there.

https://tenor.com/view/pipkin-pippa-pippa-pipkin-vtuber-cringe-gif-13876806171127454285

[mental furnace]

all factions are ass

KILL THEM ALL

[oblique quest]

Too bad war mode is total ass, a Monolith "campaign" where you just sweep across the whole zone and eventually take over every base and wipe everyone else out would be pretty baller.

[proven raptor]

it gest super boring super quickly

i played warfare on base anomaly and even coc and it's just not good

[oblique quest]

Yeah....

[proven raptor]

the idea is nice but stalker combat just by itself is very basic

[mental furnace]

[oblique quest]

I think what I actually want is some ArmA custom game shit, with however the fuck many players you can shove into a game split 2/3 1/3 between Monolith and other factions, just all-out chaotic war.

[oblique quest]

If I tried searching for "STALKER ARMA" I may very well find that somebody already did it, TBH.

Naturally, there's STALKER themed mods for ArmA.

[storm saddle]

Freedom is just a bunch of anarchists. But not the flanderized version of anarchy people think of

They don't think there should be a governmental authority meddling with the zone but they do believe in punishing bad actions, but instead of laws and a judicial system doing it, the people do it

They want total freedom and lawlessness but they still think immoral actions are to be punished. So no murder without reason

[blissful ivy]

Yippee people being sent to walk across landmines naked for pissing people off, what could possibly go wrong

Thats essentially what they did to someone in SoC or atleast what they tell you

[storm saddle]

It's all dependent on the people. That's all

Freedoms core beliefs aren't that bad in an ideal world

But humans aren't exactly ideal

So ofc it's still kinda fucked

[blissful ivy]

Thats kinda like commu-

[storm saddle]

I mean? Yeah pretty much. Jesus sounded like a fuckin communist and people loved him

[blissful ivy]

Communism is great… until you add people

Anyways, freedumb shidded, dooty gooder (mostly because its way easier to mop the floor with freedumb)

[storm saddle]

Communism is great until you add ego/pride into the mix. Everyone's gonna think they're better than someone else/deserves better.

[blissful ivy]

Yeah, so people

[storm saddle]

And everyone has pride/ego so not much you can do there

[storm saddle]

Yup

[blissful ivy]

Communism just cant work

Thats it

[storm saddle]

Freedumb def has the easiest base to fight

[blissful ivy]

In SoC especially

In gamma it depends

I find more exos in freedom base on gamma

And they have that big fuckoff bridge

That makes it easy for them to shoot you

[storm saddle]

It takes a very specific type of people for communism to work. You'd have to be a society made up of entirely self sacrificing selfless people. Which humanity in general isn't so it doesn't work for a government. I can see it working for a small village/town though

[blissful ivy]

Wel yeah, there you go

[storm saddle]

Probably cuz it's AW and the script doesn't despawn exos there

So they gather

[blissful ivy]

But thats an issue, because theres like 5 of those people

So its really just not gonna

[blissful ivy]

Yeah i guess so

All it does is make AW freedom base a nightmare

For a new run at least

Meanwhile i day 1 rostok

Rostok is nice because the enemies dont hit at once

Theyre split

[storm saddle]

Once you've got a gun and ammo its fine. You just camp the bridge and pick em off as they try to cross. Aggroing the base before the bridge is what makes the fight hard

[blissful ivy]

Since theres the checkpoints, then main rostok

[storm saddle]

Rostok is good because it creates a lot of opportunities to take 1v1 gunfights

[blissful ivy]

Yeah i mean if youre a duty member of enemy of freedom

And theyre ON you

[blissful ivy]

I just 8v1 usually

[storm saddle]

Unless you're pushing from the garbage/TC. It's nearly impossible the break through the checkpoint with gavrilenko. You'll just get stuffed with like 12 guys with full auto and very little cover

[blissful ivy]

More often than not i get a grenade before i go to rostok

Which makes the entry easy

Toss nade over building, problem solved

[storm saddle]

1v1 gunfights I mean you're only trading shots with one guy at a time. If 8 dudes are shooting you there's a good shot atleast 3 of em land one bullet and you'll die cuz your balls res doesn't exist yet

[blissful ivy]

Ah, well yeah that

I mean theres 9 people shooting, only 1 sees me

[storm saddle]

That's real but I often don't get a nade before that. Bad luck nd all that

[blissful ivy]

So no big issue

I usually start with the .308 repeater i got from juans mod, issue is ammo

[storm saddle]

I typically push from the AW entrance and climb the wall to shoot the checkpoint from highground (where I can low crouch to avoid retaliation)

[blissful ivy]

The ammo lasts like 2 ingame days

Well i guess you could stretch the repeater ammo for a while

But that would mean being a bitch

[storm saddle]

Id just save it. Get an smg and repair it and save it for those types of pushes/desperation

[blissful ivy]

Id rather shoot a bunch of people

No you see

If i didnt kill loads

I wouldnt have had the ak

I had to use an ak mid rostok

[storm saddle]

Red barrel:

[blissful ivy]

Because i found one, green barrel

Then just fixed it off dead dudes

[storm saddle]

Gyah. Lucky fuck

[blissful ivy]

[celest sparrow]

gyat skibidi toilet, rizz

Could you not

[oblique quest]

HOOH

1% chance, by the way

[coral osprey]

holy shit, thats a crazy good find

[oblique quest]

OK, now that's just fucked up odds.

I guess that's my prize for beating the military squad at the X18 surface factory in Dark Valley with nothing but a Makarov, Mosin and, like, seven rounds of 7N1, while wearing nothing but a balaclava, overcoat and 35%~ flesh hide.

[ashen fox]

I don't even known these appears in stashes 😄

It's possible to find D tier repair kit in lower part of the zone for example?

[oblique quest]

You can turn back on random items appearing in unmarked stashes. I'm pretty sure that would fall under the "useful items" category, which is 1% chance.

[oblique quest]

Maybe? I dunno.

#╭📖faq message

[ashen fox]

Ahhh that's why, ok I will not meddle with that but thanks for making me aware that option even exists

[oblique quest]

Usually it's just a few dozen rounds of ammo, a half-eaten AI-2, a single random pill, maybe a magazine, a bit of junk or two, and a decent chance of nothing.

Getting two B repair kits back-to-back is crazy odds, regardless.

[ancient dragon]

chat am I suppose to form an alliance with the bandits as a military in the questline? I forgot I got a quest for Olivius but I accidentally killed him in an army raid

[random grail]

No,that was just random dr x task

[ancient dragon]

So I can massacre them?

[rich moss]

Gamma is still on 9.4 right now right?

or has there been a 9.4.x released- just tryna make sure im on the most uptodate version

[lost bridge]

Ooohhh looks like I'm very close to finishing the storyline?

I been going from one important dude to another back to back and I thought it's gonna be an endless chain but I guess this might be it

After this i might try installing Radiophobia 3 sometime

I wanna play the very first sdalger but with

Cool gameplay I guess

-# it definitely doesn't try to imitate tarkov

Though I wonder if it has a separate storymode for freeplay as well

[proven raptor]

iirc mysteries of the zone came out before tarkov

like one year earlier

[blissful ivy]

0.9.4

[rich moss]

Thanks

[ashen fox]

What are good mods to replay OG trilogy for each episode? Any tips?

[blissful ivy]

it doesnt

R3 is nothing like it

[blissful ivy]

try radiophobia for SoC

[lost bridge]

[blissful ivy]

its just SoC story, but its polished

and has better gameplay

and adds more content

[proven raptor]

definitely gunslinger for cop

[blissful ivy]

its like if SoC wasnt a shitstain for gameplay

[lost bridge]

Hey didn't you try R3 though? What was your experience?

[blissful ivy]

and for CS... bah

[blissful ivy]

really good

[proven raptor]

skip it

[blissful ivy]

it has 2DSS too

so its not bad

for scopes

its quite nice

[lost bridge]

Nice nice

[blissful ivy]

and CoP has PiP

[ashen fox]

Isn't Radiophobia known for ridicolously hard segments? 😄

[blissful ivy]

somehow

[blissful ivy]

if youre a shitter, yes

if you must, play it on normal

or hard

the hardest dif is a little more "ridiculously hard"

but yeah CS kinda doesnt have good modded overhauls

[proven raptor]

i wonder why

[blissful ivy]

prolly because it sucks?

idk

i played CS with just SRP

wasnt bad but it was cetainly not good

it was mediocre

[ashen fox]

I liked CS when it came out a lot, more then SOC but that could be nostalgia glasses or it's maybe just my love for Swamps
