Fair enough

[oblique quest]

[noble estuary]

Freedom in drak valley is pretty rare

[oblique quest]

What's with all these fucking blueberries in my damn yard all the time!?

Wait, who wants me to pick up a package where?

[stiff wyvern]

Does MagRedux include fancy/bigger mags for the likes of Saiga/SIG550 and larger caliber guns? Or are the sizes all just the same (e.g. 30 shots for 5.56)?

[mental furnace]

yeap there is 20 rounds mags for saiga

and 60 , 95 mags for ARs

[oblique quest]

I dunno if there's bigger mags for the SG550 (does it use STANAG?), but there's 12(?) round extended Saiga mags and drum mags.

[mental furnace]

5.56 have a drum mag

just like 5.45

[oblique quest]

Yeah, but not if it isn't STANAG. If it uses its own proprietary mag type, it might only be the one mag it can use.

[mental furnace]

[oblique quest]

IIRC the AUG, G36 and SG rifles all use their own proprietary plastic mags, so extended magazine (let alone drum) availability is somewhat dubious for them.

[mental furnace]

they have extended mags too

[oblique quest]

There's probably versions of all those rifles which use STANAG, though.

[noble estuary]

who can forget the 100rnd G36 dual drum

[oblique quest]

IIRC the AUG has 42(?) round extended mags, not sure if drum.

HOLY

[mental furnace]

i dont remember but it probably have drum mag too because why the fuck not

[oblique quest]

But also

[noble estuary]

idk if its in gamma tho

[stiff wyvern]

so, you are telling me, i will be able to have 40 (or more) shots in my SIG

[mental furnace]

[stiff wyvern]

thanks guys, love y'all

[noble estuary]

how many people play with mags redux?

I can't imagine it feeling like anything more than a chore

[oblique quest]

As a Tarkoid, since STALKER (especially Gamma) feels like a very similar flavor of fucked-up game for weirdos, I kinda start tweakin' without Mags.

[noble estuary]

man I remember when tarkov was good a playable game for humans

[oblique quest]

Me too. And now I get to maintain that memory with SPT.

[noble estuary]

Maybe one day ill play SPT

for now gamma interests me more

[oblique quest]

Set up with the right mods, it does a great job of emulating the experience. Including the bullshit (mostly affectionate, slightly derogatory).

[mental furnace]

[noble estuary]

How is it with the PMCs?

they seemed surprizingly life-like

and now with 100% less scum sucking hackers

[oblique quest]

It does a good job of emulating the average PMC experience (that being a sweatlord who makes a beeline to trying to kill you).

[mental furnace]

sain is good for bots behavior
also it has a funny option for 1% of bot being a cheater

[oblique quest]

I've had some experiences which were quite surprising. I swear to God I once jumpscared a PMC I snuck up on and started shooting at from behind. I would have thought that was a real player if I didn't know any better.

[oblique quest]

Combine with That's Lit to make it so that bots actually take light level and foliage into account and it's pretty

[mental furnace]

thats what i did

[noble estuary]

cool. I wouldnt mind if like 20-30% of the PMCs just kinda tried to lay low and survive

[oblique quest]

They have personality presets, so you could fuss with the numbers to reduce the ratio of chads and gigachads and increase the ratio of rats, turtles and timmies.

[mental furnace]

slightly modded

[noble estuary]

Thats the best part of A-life and GAMMA. Every stalker seems to have a task in mind and usually killing you in particular is rarely it.

[pseudo galleon]

petition to add all of these guns in stalker gamma :3

[noble estuary]

whats turtle?

[oblique quest]

If we must have 40 AKs, so much we have 40 AR-15s and Glocks

[noble estuary]

Do every S&W revolver :)

[radiant sage]

Ah yes, 50 shades of the same fucking gun

[mental furnace]

[mental furnace]

not gonna happen

[oblique quest]

Short description: either players who bunker down and play defensively, trying to shoot at everything which approaches but they themselves refuse to ever push, or rat players who spring out on approaching players with shocking violence (usually referred to as snapping turtles) rather than completely hiding until they can plink you in the back of the neck like Sam Fisher.

[mental furnace]

Sain got it all

[noble estuary]

neat

Is chad just a generic player?

[oblique quest]

I have been jumpscared by player SCAVs just chilling in a room waiting for somebody to come in, who stayed quiet and tried (and failed) to shoot me in the back while I was distracted looking for goodies. Very true to life, including the failing to actually kill you part.

[oblique quest]

Chad is basically shorthand for players who are experienced and play with confidence and determination.

Gigachad is basically people who have ascended (or degenerated, depending on your perspective) past that and now don't give a fuck and basically play like it's Call of Duty.

[noble estuary]

I imagine tarkov will be a game that stays in my memory

[oblique quest]

It's certainly unique, for weal and for woe.

[noble estuary]

The hackers just got so unbearable

[oblique quest]

Hopefully at least one of the "let's try making our own Tarkov, guys" games is actually good and offers a Tarkov-like experience which is more of a real game for normal people.

[noble estuary]

im trying to recall what patch it was I quit

[mental furnace]

u wanna know a funny? devs dont give a shit about hackers

[noble estuary]

yup

they buy the game and thats all BSG gives AF about

[mental furnace]

[radiant sage]

Just good business

[noble estuary]

Honestly what ruined the game (and this is gonna sound super hipster but i think its true) is the drops on twitch

game blew up

got too many players

too many hackers

[timid hornet]

any hints?

[noble estuary]

is that a bug?

It looks like hex

convert it to decimal or binary?

lol

[bleak mortar]

It's done on purpose for a mission that you cant do yet im pretty sure.

[noble estuary]

lol it says this

H a c k e d b y S e r i o u s

Hex to ASCII

[blazing torrent]

Hey, would anyone like to share their settings used for GAMMA with Lossless Scaling?
I'm struggling to get a good result without getting either significant input delay/latency or some weird light flickering on grass/reeds.

[mental furnace]

[proven raptor]

!evilrock

[dawn marten]

@urban thistle Did you think the evil rock could win the game for you?
The evil rock remains evil ||and everything softlocks/crashes you ON PURPOSE.||
Go this way instead: Lost in CNPP?

[mental furnace]

[oblique quest]

KelTec KSG-12 but bubba'd into a 23mm shotgun. Very cool and good.

[noble estuary]

How do i turn off loot claim again?

[oblique quest]

Why is the world object for powder a 9x19 FMJ box? Shouldn't it just be a retextured version of the plastic jar, if nothing else....?

[bleak mortar]

There's an idea for your first mod and contribution to GAMMA 🙂

[oblique quest]

I might be able to do that, but I have no idea how to mod STALKER. I barely know how to fuss with existing mods to alter them to my tastes.

[bleak mortar]

I used AI to help me work out how to modify some other mods, I use Claude, which allows me to upload the xmls and it can help me find the references im looking for.

[oblique quest]

If you pointed me to a PlasticJar.dds I could totally make the retextures, though, that I can manage no problem.

But why? Why would you do that, why would you be able to do that?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, you're telling be the SVD is a class D but the fucking VSSK is a class C?

[mental furnace]

SVD itself should be class C tbh

SVDS tho much better

[hushed pier]

one is bolt action one is semi

what is so confusing?

[oblique quest]

One is a semi-auto with a terrible firecap, the other is a bolt-action chambered in FuckYou ammo. It's like the AWM.

[proven raptor]

vssk is very underwhelming

the damage is not good enough for the price of the ammo

meanwhile you can rechamer the svd to 556 to make it both super cheap and very damaging

if you don't mind the sacrilige of course

[oblique quest]

That 100% shouldn't be a thing.

[proven raptor]

it's your choice to do it or not

oh and svd also has much more swag and style

which matters the most

as we all know

[oblique quest]

12.7mm FMJ is super cheap to craft, what do you mean? It costs about as much materiel as 7.62x54r 7n1 and 7.92 FMJ, while offering performance like 7.62x54r 7n14.

The caveat there is that it's subsonic, so it probably has worse damage falloff and bullet drop, but still.

[storm saddle]

Yes the damage fall off is insane

[hushed pier]

disagree

its a one tappa

get some range and have fun

[last mesa]

Range is what it sucks at XD

[hushed pier]

nahhh its fine

[latent elbow]

Save/reload or try changing zone ?

[fair cradle]

no dice

oh well, guess he's getting put down

[fallen atlas]

There is a mod by xcvb that lets you disable transition points

With a key press

Something something "Expect the game to break. Press L to disable nearest transition point. Press again to re-enable it. Do not go to another location without re-enabling a transition point" etc.

[last mesa]

Name?
Can't find it on his moddb

[fallen atlas]

It was never uploaded

[last mesa]

Thanks

[fair cradle]

hmmm any idea how likely it is to break something?

if its super unstable then I'd rather just fail the quest

[fallen atlas]

I mean it just disables transitions. Just remember to save after doing what you were doing (though dont save past the transition point, lol)

If you open the scripts file you can edit the keybind if L isn't to your liking

DIK_P will bind to P, DIK_M will bind to M, etc

Should be able to find all DIK's on google

[latent elbow]

Will save that just in case

[oblique quest]

This is fine

[mild wing]

pretty sure that DAO deleted the PDA i'm supposed to pick up in limansk

god bless this addon and this questline

[blissful ivy]

How does an anomaly delete a pda

[mild wing]

grabbed/pushed it/sent it out of bounds idk

it's not there

but there's a bunch of vortexes around the scripted dead guy

reloading the save

[blissful ivy]

L i guess

[urban thistle]

theree a reason when i zoom into the acog with the hk it zooms fuunnnny

[wind egret]

Woo! Close shave.

[oblique quest]

One hit, by the way

[wind egret]

I was about to say, must have been a long fight!

Skills.

[oblique quest]

It wasn't even oneshot protection, it didn't bring me down to 0.1%, it was more like 12%.

[storm saddle]

One shot protection doesn't drop you to 0.1% hp

One shot protection varies a bit but it doesn't drop you that love

Low

Go lie down on a grenade with 0% explosive res and you'll probably have around 30 to 40% hp after the boom boom

[oblique quest]

Maybe it only does that if you're just above the 2/3rds~ threshold required for it to apply.

[storm saddle]

I don't know precisely how it works but it probably just limits the amount of damage you can take at once to 60%. So if you're at 61% you get dropped to 1%. Maybe? Dunno. I only know what it helps you avoid and that's dying to explosives. It's really funny to learn that the way to deal with grenades is often to just take it and heal with a medkit before it explodes

[iron atlas]

why is there so much people now in rookie village? im mid playtrough

when i fast travel 30 of them spawn in rookie village

[mild wing]

i guess enough loners died somewhere else and the game repopulated them

they'll probably move out at some point

[iron atlas]

ok thats fine. i was worried its gonna ramp up like that during the game

[oblique quest]

I mean, new players start in the starting town, obviously. Then they'll go on adventures from there. That's how this works!

(But seriously though, if you want to help aid their spread, go do Spring Cleaning so they have nearby nodes to occupy and thus will be more likely to start spreading out.)

huh?

how the fck i failed the mission without even doing anything

brainscorcher is lab x19 right? do i need to go back there for researchers?

[boreal flax]

Is this scope just like this or does it normally have zoom?

looks kinda weird to me like this

[torpid hull]

use scroll to increase

[boreal flax]

oooh ty

[torpid hull]

press = to also get red dot on that sight

[oblique quest]

Also, is that the Monstrum? That thing is just 2X.

[torpid hull]

so you can actually see shit with the scooe

[torpid hull]

uts the specterer

[oblique quest]

Huh, looks kinda small.

Must be the perspective.

[boreal flax]

nuh

it´s 1x to 4x

my current scope that is

[oblique quest]

But does it just hard flip between the two or have a smooth adjust? 'Cause I'm pretty sure it's the former IRL.

[boreal flax]

this is with zoom

yeah only has 2 different settings

[oblique quest]

Neat

Not sure why you need 1x when there's backup irons right there.

2x/4x would've made more sense, IMO.

[boreal flax]

all 3 would be

[oblique quest]

But, hey, that's a complain for Specter.

Or, wait, no, SpecterDR is the product, ElCan is the company? I dunno, I work nights, this is the equivalent of like two in the morning for me so brain is 🍳

[leaden island]

Scopes are still a serious complaint for me. The PSO-1 is a 1.7x magnified instead of 4x and the PSO-1M is the actual functional magnified optic. One of these also gets the backup irons and the other doesn’t despite being the same scope.

[rare lodge]

I HAVE A 100% UMP, it is jamming on me alot though, is this something known?

[wind egret]

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue.

[twin timber]

Probably it's not properly configured for 3DSS scopes or something

Copy. I still love it regardless. I have a thing for bullpup AK variants.

Do you know about modifying and coding compatibility patches?

Better not to

No. It's a modpack for anomaly

Anomaly is singleplayer and has no netcode integrated from what I know.

Yeah, that's why I'm asking about the DayZ servers haha they seem interesting

[mint copper]

whats up with the fucked up sound

[left charm]

But I don't want to just get into another base builder like rust

[mint copper]

most of them are hardcore roleplay, if you act outside your role you get banned

you are also supposed to only talk and write inside the role

[left charm]

Hmm I like that

[mint copper]

i find it really stupid

for most you need to register somewhere and write a lengthy application and if some dumbass feels like it they accept you and let you eat dirt

[left charm]

Guess it depends on the definition of role

[left charm]

Hmmm that sounds annoying

If the resources are available can I host a small one or is going to be empty ?

[mint copper]

its either on forums or discord and most of the server are russian

[twin timber]

It's like vrchat

But even more cringy

With even worse power tripping

You'd have to be as big of a retard as the ones running it to want to join

[left charm]

Demn

[mint copper]

the resources are not really available i guess, you would need to make your own from resources from the workshop and stuff you make / implement yourself, but im not that into it so im not 100% sure

but i think there is nothing you can just like drop in to ruun your own stalker dayz server

so you will mostly only get the clientside stuff, anything thats server only i dont think any of the projects provides this to anyone

I just had the game spawn like 10 controllers on the Prypyat school, making my screen 6x time yellow and crashing my game with the sheer amount of phantoms. 10\10 psi-attack

never encountered that before, seemed like a script since half of them counldn't even move and there were alot of rare variants

not a script but classic xrengine fuckery

mutants get stuck from time to time

and controller hordes can happen in the outskirts

right, thanks x-ray

well. at least I have hands for T4 now

i forgot how much i fucking hated zaton

i love engaging hyper-accurate enemies with forcefields and exosuits from 150 meters away with an 83% accuracy gun that cant hit shit.

[lethal patrol]

good day to raid freedom base

[spark pecan]

can't wait to get a good 7.62 i'm so sick of using 5.56 at range.

[hushed pier]

The things is it should be the opposite

5.56 better at range and 7.62 better closer

[proven raptor]

ok mister gun nerd

[spark pecan]

first yellow stash in zaton is invalid and under the floor

i fucking hate this place.

maybe i can find it underground..

[hushed pier]

jealous?

[craggy flower]

Anyone know if there are plans to update the Sako?

[south stump]

Snork tunnels?

[spark pecan]

yeah it was in there

advanced tools btw

Bro thinks he gonna get an expert from ZATON HAHAHAHAHAH better chance to hit the lottery bud

[eager rose]

Neither works

[mental furnace]

then u typing it in the wrong menu

[strange pasture]

that's a nice start lol, 45k and a yellow stash with basic toolkit within 40 min

had to restart because Gatekeeper decided to punch me and then shot me for no reason

[last mesa]

Guys. Give me an idea for an absolutely mediocre loadout that isn't adequate for the north, but isn't "JuSt RuN iN a LeAtHeR JaCkEt BrO!"

AK without optics, binocs, Standard military Skat-9 and Sphere M-12?

[cold crown]

Anyone know if there is a variant of the “Apocalypse” Altyn Helmet with a gas mask?

[last mesa]

Secondary could be maybe a vityaz with HP?

[last mesa]

Not really. Closest you'll get to that is in the exo tier

Other than that you either run Sphere as an all rounder or GP-10Z for rads

[last mesa]

I guess this will do

[hollow pecan]

Way better than getting a drug-making or gunsmithing toolkit early, nice find. Guessing you'll be doing the CS tasks and checking Agroprom underground for those kits later though. You started off a 5-7? Kinda interesting; never picked it myself as a Merc since the ammo seems pretty expensive to get compared to 9mm for the MP5. Curious how you're managing.

[strange pasture]

I highly prefer the 5.7 to do the funny merc route Yantar - DC - AW - Rostok - WT - Yantar. You can optimize the run with tasks very efficiently. Since you meet a lot of stalkers, I buy 60-100 ammo early from a trader and kill every enemy on the path, the hardest point is the Rostok northern outpost. I mainly go there for a Bear detector.

Gunsmithing can be used as basic toolkit via the bug abusing, and it's efficient, however finding the basic tools specifically ensures that the next stash may have advanced ones, since you can't skip not finding the basic tools, and with some luck you can get them very early

[blissful ivy]

wait the 5.7 is in merc loadouts?

[hollow pecan]

Oh so it wasn't just by chance then. One of the duty "officers" at the Rostok north entrance drops a static Bear Detector?

[blissful ivy]

yes

afaik yes

[strange pasture]

Yeah he's got a few guns aswell

[blissful ivy]

i usually run through rostok day 1-2 as merc

[strange pasture]

By the way you start with 60 5.7 SS190 ammo which is BR4 penetration

[blissful ivy]

wow im actually impressed

when does 5.7 get unlocked to buy?

also BR4 is vague, gimme actual value?

[strange pasture]

42

[strange pasture]

From the get-go

You can stock in DC and restock at AW

Only 5.7 br2 (21) is available for purchase tho

[blissful ivy]

i mean the good stuff

not the decent ones

[strange pasture]

Until you grind some goodwill ofc

[blissful ivy]

would that be level 2?

or 3

[hollow pecan]

LVL 2

just checked

[strange pasture]

Pretty sure lvl2

[blissful ivy]

i dont really do much with 5.7

so idk

ah

thats not bad

1k

goodwill

easy to get

[strange pasture]

nah that's like 500 goodwill

500 1000 1500 2000
lvl 2 3 4 5

[hollow pecan]

Yeah, doable. Still love 9mm early on myself, but can 5.7mm sounds like it can actually work lol.

Used to love the UDP start, but they took it out. Truly tragic.

[blissful ivy]

right

[strange pasture]

You get a lot of guns you may get lucky with a green barrel on an AK or something

[blissful ivy]

i always thought of 0 goodwill as level "0"

not 1

it just made more sense to me

0-4 not 1-5

[blissful ivy]

you can just put it back you know?

[strange pasture]

lvl 0 is Ecologists trader

non existent

[blissful ivy]

true

but i just call 0 goodwill level 0

since i just think it makes more sense that you start at 0

than start at 1, call me weird, just makes more sense

[clear bear]

Petrenko offering me a mission to eliminate a Freedom target that is most urgent. Target is my companion, target is sitting right next to us

kek

[strange pasture]

Oh yeah happens

Disband him in front of the big duty squad and he's done

[clear bear]

hahah

yeah

nah he's chill, I'm just passing by

fuck dooty

[strange pasture]

You know what the best part of Yantar start is? You get to have a quest to kill a Sin squad very early to do the artefact quest. There's a chance they spawn right on Yantar as well

[blissful ivy]

petrenko blinks and finds himself at the duty base in the sky:

[hollow pecan]

Ahhh wish that would happen to me. Never gotten that spawn myself.

Like in the middle of the mobile bunker area?

[strange pasture]

The sinners? They spawn near the factory enterance

[hollow pecan]

Ah okay, I'll know where to check next time lol. I usually just rush out from there to DC to AW. Kinda hasty on my end.

[strange pasture]

The spawn depends on where Saharov gives you quest to, he can send you to DC to kill them, and that's a freebie

[hollow pecan]

Cool, thanks for the info. By quest, you mean the artefact fetching quest right?

[strange pasture]

Exactly

[oak wyvern]

Any way to lower the durability loss? its by far too high and wasn't like this in previous versions of Gamma. In the middle of one of the major lab story missions my weapon can go from 100% to jamming and repairing armor after every single gunfight is only tedious and adds nothing to the game, I rather have a 3x more expensive armor repair but then also need to do it less frequently

I shoot 4 AP shells out of a 100% shotgun and my jam gets 2%...

[hollow pecan]

Either getting the suit durability upgrades (if the armor even has that) OR increase the resistances. Increasing ballistic resistance should decrease the damage to your armor durability as durability loss seems to match with the amount of damage received from a source. (i.e. suffering from heavy Electro damage would cause heavy durability damage and vice versa). As for the weapons, yeah, all the weapons have static jam values even at 100% now though there should be an option in MCM to disable that (haven't disabled it myself so not sure where it is).

Reliability upgrades are worthwhile on shotguns too (and low-reliability firearms for that matter).

[oak wyvern]

It doesn't matter really the durability always takes far too much damage regardless of my damage reduction. Even at 50% ballistic dmg reduction it takes the same durability damage as when I play with 20%

and also thats beyond stupid that im always stuck with a jam chance even if its 1-2% after firing just a few bullets since jam means death

making fights only about RNG now and not skill, what a shame

[hollow pecan]

Yeah I was thinking more like 70% ballistic damage reduction at least to reduce the durability damage. Even at 65%, it still hurts. Usually, the durability damage isn't much a problem for me personally since I keep a sewing kit on me myself but I can agree that it can get tedious lol.

[oak wyvern]

Its not a problem in terms of money or so but its simply tedious and annoying needing to do that after every second time you get shot

Well I'll quit the mod now and come back in half a year or so once more when Grok makes the RNG jam go away. Not a fan of getting 1-tapped for something I can do nothing about cause RNG jam no matter how good of a condition you keep your stuff in.

I miss the old system

[strange pasture]

How close is this yellow stash to the Radar enterance?

You know why I'm asking

[random grail]

Possible to collect if you have redline jacket?

Btw expert tools got removed from radar pool

[strange pasture]

Yeah you're right, but it's almost guaranteed advanced tools

I get like 10 seconds minus the location loading buffer

[blissful ivy]

if its ironman youre cooked if you think its a good idea

if not, shoot

go

[strange pasture]

Nah this one's impossible actually

It takes like 20-30 sec to get there

I'll claim it later

[blissful ivy]

L ngl

i have like 4 saves rn, and idk why

i got "Balker", balkan stalker

and we got fuckin guh-lker (long story)

uhhh right, "AHHHH BULLETS HURT" this was made after a previous invictus fail when i got mowed down by a machine gun in swamp

uhhh we got fuckin "bingle"

[strange pasture]

Did you finish invictus already on any of them?

[blissful ivy]

yes

ages ago

i do it for fun

now

[strange pasture]

Oh so those are old saves

Yeah got those too

[blissful ivy]

all of the above are invictus saves

all of which i still play

mostly balker tho

hes my current run

got lots of cool shit on that one

[strange pasture]

I thought you're playing them silmutaniously

[blissful ivy]

same with my post swamps run

that one is already ISG nosoroged and artimaxxed

i took a break because late game is boring

from that save

[strange pasture]

I found a way to spice things up in late game

[blissful ivy]

shoot people? i tried that

2400 times actually

[strange pasture]

Discovered the Prometei questline, after I finished my Clear Sky invictus I died trying to shoot that guy on the Garbage near the anomaly

RIP save

[blissful ivy]

the who questline?

let me guess

snitch?

or?

[strange pasture]

Yeah

[blissful ivy]

yeah i shot his fucking head off

hes a good luck charm

when killed

my runs go better

[strange pasture]

That was my first time playing the Snitch questline so I had no idea what I was doing, ruined my saves

That's why I would never risk doing them before finishing the Invictus

[blissful ivy]

nah i just shoot him

i dont need anything from him

[strange pasture]

Oh you mean Snitch?

[blissful ivy]

so i just shoot him with a 12 gauge for good luck

yes

hes good luck since i just shoot him and my run go gooder

[silent vector]

Okay, so... I'm doing TLL: Champion of the Monolith, I go to Prypiat and at some point I move veeery slow just by getting close to palace of culture. Last time I played (0.9.2) there was no such thing. Is it intentional or I found another spaghetti code?

[strange pasture]

Not sure what's going on there man

Everything was fine for me

[foggy heath]

Flea too

[silent vector]

So spaghetti code then. Maybe some script derailed or something

[strange pasture]

Crazy things happen indeed

On my last run I somehow got the psy helmet from Sakharof for free, didn't spend 30k, didn't kill him

Couldn't replicate it in a new run

[spark pecan]

do stashes in zaton just sort of suck

every stash i've looted there is borderline cordon tier.

Keep your chin up

That was a year ago so idk if that's possible now

[spark pecan]

i got a rookie jacket in one stash then like, pistol bullets and an improvised stimpack in the other

[blissful ivy]

i just kill people lots for that thing

[silent vector]

I'll rise the stake - I had stash inside a Duty guy. He moved around Rostok with stash marker. I did quicksave and when I killed him, it seemed like he indeed had typical NPC inventory + some extra. I let him live and later another stash appeard as... crow... I shot down the crow, couldn't open it for stash

[blissful ivy]

thats what my building hunting rifle is for

.50 BMG one shots

so fun too

[strange pasture]

That's much faster for sure

[blissful ivy]

its not

XD

it can be

if luck is on your side

but same with stashes i guess

[strange pasture]

This one's a regular bug, happened to everyone at this point. A stash gets applied to a random thing

And if you try to remove the stash mark - it's gone

[silent vector]

@strange pasture @blissful ivy Nevermind! I'm stoopid... My exo just dies and theres no PDA warning

[blissful ivy]

quick action wheel

radiation big QoL
Miracle Machine mutants
more stalkers here and there going around
drug-making kit in agroprom
new guns
grab animation/mutant skinning which slow down the gameplay significantly
npcs don't suicide bomb you with rpg

and there's a lot of things that you won't notice with the update at first, but they have an impact, such as anomalies dmg fixes, gunplay, combat

[white field]

quick action wheel? Oh like for healing shit (I realised what it was while writing it out)

And what about the MM Mutants?

[blissful ivy]

ok so 1. dont care 2. dont really care 3. rads fine now 4. better before 5. i just crank ZCP, easy as 6. i get it from swamps anyway like day 2 usually 7. dont care its literally 2 guns 8. i can just turn those off lol 9. yeah never really see that

the miracle machine filling got changed

[blissful ivy]

i like scripted spawns, so i stay where i am

literally the new guns, but bootleg

this update made me re-learn the game

it feels quite harder now

[blissful ivy]

ah yep, jamming more because suppressor? no thanks

im ok with my suppressors as they are thanks

By utterly destroying all your food/water/sleep stats

Its so expensive lol

[valid crater]

It's better to buy all the hammers regularly from your friendly mechanic to get all the wood you ever need.

If the axe would give like 20 wood per chopping it's a different story ... but as it is: Nope!

[storm saddle]

Firewood Is cheaper to buy iirc

It's like 500?

Aren't hammers like 300 and give only 1 wood

[blazing torrent]

Hammers are better, they are 268 (i think, it was deffinitely less than 300) and give you metal scrap on top of the one wood scrap, firewood is 550 and gives you two wood. That is less money per one wood scrap, while also giving some bonus metal scraps.
They are also like the most price-efficient supplemental materials for repair kits (6%).

To be fair, i always buy out all hammers form traders on restocks, and carry two or three with me along armor repair kits for field repairs

Sooo, I am also going to ask one question again, maybe get an answer this time

I've seen somewhere that the man himself (Grok) uses Lossless Scaling in GAMMA, but i struggle to achieve good result, on most settings i get some weird lightning artifacts (flickering grass/reeds), and no matter what i do there is some really HEFTY input lag/latency

anyone here uses Lossless scaling with good, stable results, and would like to share their settings?

[storm saddle]

What's your native fps

Lossless scaling is better the better your fps is by default

If you're only barely maintaining 60 fps

Don't bother

[blazing torrent]

Well im in a bit of a weird spot now, my monitor died and im currently playing on a small TV (4k @60Hz) while waiting for payday to get a new monitor - hence I'm not even trying to go above 60FPS. When playing on my previous monitor (3440x1440) i could achieve 100+FPS if fiddled with the settings a bit, lowered grass density etc.

Now on the TV game runs really well in 1440p, i achieve solid constant 60 without having to bang down any settings, but i would like to play in 4k (it looks SOOO much better), however when switching to 4k the FPS takes a solid bonk down to 35-40.

So you're saying there is no point in trying, and my best course of action is to just play in 1440p here?

To be fair, trying to burden my good old 2080Ti with a modpack as taxing as GAMMA in 4k resolution might be a horrible idea in the first place, lol

[oblique reef]

Is that how it works? I get consistently decent FPS but tank in dense areas like Yanov and Rostok, I was hoping lossless would help

[storm saddle]

OK so

Lossless scaling spends some of your native fps to increase your fps by replacing it from ai gen frames

Imagine you have 100 native fps aight

So when you turn on lossless scaling, you spend 20 of that fps to convert it into like 40 ai generated frames

So you get 120 fps

(Lose 20 native, gain 40 generated)

And if you barely manage 60 fps

Then turning on lossless scaling will put you below 60 fps native

And that's known for causing delay

[storm saddle]

@oblique reef

[blazing torrent]

K, understood, so there is abolutely no point in using lossless to reach 60FPS in 4k. Maybe to get to 144/165 in 1440p when i get the monitor, but not in my current situation

thanks!

[oblique reef]

[mental furnace]

[hollow pecan]

oh my god its the wish granter

[fair silo]

there's no point in using framegen under 60 fps, period

you're always going to be playing on the base framerate, anything below 60 gives you this weird asf feeling where the game is running smooth, but your actions are weirdly delayed because you're playing with like 20 fps worth of latency

it's almost like watching someone else play the game and you kinda moving your hands to match it, freaky as hell

Maybe it's just because I'm a chronic sneaky bastard, but I get the first shot in probably 4/5 times.

[ionic sonnet]

Forbiden exes user ?

[left charm]

Yeah I got the forbidden (but it did work! )

[ionic sonnet]

That's it then, several ppl reported that

[oblique quest]

[left charm]

Demn, that will make red forest not fun

[lethal patrol]

makes the game harder, which is fun

[left charm]

Too bad I'm blind as a bat and I always ID before engaging

Guess I'll use the forbidden once my stash becomes unmanageable, it messed a lot other things

[oblique quest]

That's what binocs are for, sonny.

[left charm]

I'll finally have a reason to use number 4?

[oblique quest]

A fully upgraded set of binocs (and what the fuck else are you gonna use scope upgrade kits on) can let you clearly see dudes, like, two hundred meters away if you zoom in all the way.

[left charm]

I only upgrade them because I don't have anything else to upgrade haha

Btw, isn't it weird that we have thermal imaging sights but no thermal imaging binocs? I think that would make thermal imaging more balanced

[oblique quest]

Binocs are so crucial for scouting and friend or foe ID that they're straight-up one of the first things I buy. They cost a weirdly large amount of loadout points but not a lot of cash.

[left charm]

In cop I used them all the time cause they can spot everything haha that would make them broken

"mercs gunning down loners is so unfair and merciless bro"

Meanwhile most Peaceful loner interaction recorded:

[hushed pier]

omg

lost faith in humanity

[near estuary]

this IS humanity

[near estuary]

Mercs and Bandits are fine in my book because they let you know they're immoral from the get go.

"Would you rather be alone in Red Forest with a Merc or a Loner" debate incoming

[errant nebula]

wait is it smth custom or ya making MASG scopes placement atjustments?

[oblique quest]

No? The "WIP" part is "half the components are FUBAR and need to be replaced."

[errant nebula]

oh okay I saw saw scope that was palced "correct" thought mby someone got their hands on fixing it xD

[oblique quest]

It just works on some of them.

[pseudo bobcat]

what in the fuck did i miss

[cobalt glade]

Nothing, nothing ever happens after all

[pseudo bobcat]

well yours trully is a tank gunner right now so ya 3 months fucking with tanks meann i forgot almost everything about this game

[cobalt glade]

Kinda jealous ngl, fr tho I don't know if all that much changed in the last 3 months, school year is up again I guess

[pseudo bobcat]

NOW FOR THE 12 HOURS OF DOWNLOADING THIS FUCKING GAAAMMEE see ya and have a wonderful day : D

[cobalt glade]

[fallen spruce]

May your install be bug free and you have a wonderful time in the Zone.

[dusk vessel]

there is no point in using frame gen in general

lowers your actual fps

[left charm]

And you can still pay the merc and that's it

[worn sequoia]

is Fanatic now invincible as companion now?

he almost solo'd 6 mercs with no damage taken for me yesterday lmao

[haughty heath]

hi. any news about the armor rebalance patch? didn't read anything about it from when the first draft was published

[uncut quarry]

Important npcs have higher hp

[worn sequoia]

yeah but not to that extent lmao, he ate a whole burst from Scar-H and his health didn't even drop lmao

[uncut quarry]

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.

Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).

Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.

Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because he was already dead.

[prisma pumice]

i can relate,

[boreal flax]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-crazy-cat-cry-gif-25695744

[prisma pumice]

oh man....

i have a question about Ledge grabbing tough....do i need modded exe's to make it work?

[halcyon crystal]

Ledge grabbing is in gamma .94

[boreal flax]

is this spawn evver gonna be fixed?

[prisma pumice]

can be added to Anomaly 1.5.2 ...i did it before but now it ain't working

anyway...this guys has a plan

this wall is DONE!

[pure cedar]

Anyone know if their is a wiki for gamma?

Or is it all just on the spreadsheets

[prisma pumice]

there 's a Encyclopedia in you're PDA about Everything

mind you ,does not cover all of the Features in-game fully...

you can ask me about anything ...i've spent liek 10k hours in Gamma

don't be too specific 😄

[pure cedar]

Haha cool, nah i was more just talking about a general wiki page(s) for all the guns and armor online

But yeah i guess its covered ingame

[prisma pumice]

you can open the Debug mode in Gamma

again ....most of the weapons and armors cannot be lootednor purchased and are usually linked to disabled mods within the Gamma modpack

Press F1

ingame and go to items spawner

dont play around it too much cause it can crash you're game but you can find all of the items ...All of them

there are 65535 items xd

[small ermine]

There's not that many 65k is just the cap of duplicates

And it does kill your save

[prisma pumice]

you can corrupt saves

[small ermine]

You can't fix it either once you get there

[prisma pumice]

just start a new game and use it for testing

[small ermine]

It's very hard for someone on default settings to even get there
But upping the population speedruns this quite fast

[prisma pumice]

i wanted to find that silly rifle....never founded ...is like an AK but is futuristic

[prisma pumice]

my population is always 3.0 and 3.0 ;D

sadly cant make it to work in anomaly ....stupid ZCP is dumb

[small ermine]

[prisma pumice]

imagine you load into the game ...equip you're pda and the message pop-up .....3500registered stalker in the Zone

THAT's a GOOD FUK...DAY!

don't do that....

[small ermine]

You can still go into stupid

[proven raptor]

why are you playing vanilla anomaly 😭

[prisma pumice]

tired of EZ life

after completing the invictus with all factions...all possible weapon restrictions...im just bored bro

[prisma pumice]

My condole....WTH !!!

[proven raptor]

play any other game then 😭

or touch grass 😭

[prisma pumice]

i'm a lumberjack

[proven raptor]

touch wood then i dunno 😭

[prisma pumice]

🥺

nahh i just love Stalker too much ...Anomaly > Girls

[hushed pier]

609 mods

is it enough guys

imagine the 666 mod count

scary

[proven raptor]

it's never enough

[hushed pier]

the void is never full

[neon jacinth]

i've never managed to reach 666

always end up breaking something before 650 and have to nuke the modlist

[south stump]

Grok will take us there someday

[hushed pier]

2030

[hushed pier]

i mean can easily get there through adding just juans guns

but nah not all of em got 3dss so just adding them

[neon jacinth]

nah adding guns is a cop out if you're trying to increase your modlist size

[hushed pier]

haha

[neon jacinth]

add mods that change more

textures, shaders, npcs, maps, features, mutants

[hushed pier]

at the end of the day its not about the quantity its about the quality

[brazen cypress]

Quick question to those kind enough to answer, do you normally prefer push to sprint or toggle to sprint?

[random grail]

Toggle

[celest sparrow]

Toggle, at least in Stalker

[torpid hull]

FUCKING 10 MINS INTO A RUN

[twin timber]

Anyone knows how to make this prompt stop appearing on mo2?

[torpid hull]

also i saw a bandit, panicked and riddled them with bullets

IM A MERC

atleast it wasnt cold blood murder just a normal -10 rep murder

[twin timber]

Oh damn, the vikhr, it's like, the best compact 9x39 gun

30 mag, decent control for recoil and yadda, but you sure as hell won't be buying any bullets for it yet lol

[torpid hull]

nvm i died

[twin timber]

Did you save

[torpid hull]

went back to dead city and uhhhh

monolith

[twin timber]

Oh boy

Rip vikhr

[torpid hull]

1 life ironman

nah its good

[twin timber]

Ah i see

At least it was early

[torpid hull]

LEGIT ITS THE ONLY TIME

NO MERCS IN CHECKPOINT

and a monolith decides to be near the checkpoint in AW

near dead city trans zone

[twin timber]

That's why i always make/buy the binoculars as fast as i can on my invictus runs

It's incredibly useful to spot enemies before they see you

[torpid hull]

yeah ima start buying binos in the beggining

[twin timber]

Even more now

[torpid hull]

i even had a master merc with me

from guide quest

[twin timber]

Because grok added the auto targeting thing to them

[torpid hull]

fuuuuck

[twin timber]

On this patch

That some snipers have

[torpid hull]

i love the detection module

so fucking useful

[twin timber]

I can barely see anything on that

But the sound cue is good

[torpid hull]

start every run with MP5, 4 medkits and 2 ibuprofen

man i had the MP5SD 2 runs ago, GOLDEN ass gun

[twin timber]

No armor or mask?

[torpid hull]

armour and mask

[twin timber]

The mp5sd also got buffed on this patch

10 extra mag size is a godsend

[torpid hull]

Armour, Mask, MP5, 4 Medkits and 2 Ibuprofen
uses all points

but worth

[twin timber]

Yeah that's a solid kit

[torpid hull]

too bad only NATO factions drop MP5SD

last time i got it was from a merc companion

[twin timber]

Farm mercs

[lethal patrol]

[twin timber]

However they seem to be using a lot of shotguns for some reason now

And shitty guns

Grok REALLY nerfed their gear

[proven raptor]

you're just unlucky

[twin timber]

In more than 8 runs?

Unlikely

[proven raptor]

then you're cursed

irl

[torpid hull]

with slugs

[celest sparrow]

all Factions with shotguns use slugs

[twin timber]

I've never seen any stalker not use slugs tbh

I seem to be the only one using shitty buckshot

Aside from the shotguns that ONLY has buckshot

Like the 20 gauge ones

[prisma pumice]

Monolith also Carry Mp5 ...Especially the D6 /Frasier Version

[torpid hull]

Filya Grandpa

what a name

[twin timber]

Yeah but hunting monolith early on is suicidal

[prisma pumice]

nahhhh just go south east of Dead city entrance

[mild wing]

i dunno, early monolith in AW always feels like payday

[prisma pumice]

and you want to make sure that you have the Rescue the freedom guy task ....you just need it to make a 4 man squad to spawn

you go there hit some guy and run back and theyll come one by one

[torpid hull]

WELL LOOK AT THAT

killed a duty master 10 mins in
