if anything you should remember it from cod ghosts
i didnt play ghosts
L on your part
peak cod tbh
better than most at this point
(also needs a sequel, but theyd fuck it up anyways)
what the fuck is this name
well its ok hes dead
doesnt matter i guess
So...I'm an ecologist, and I somehow picked up the military documents. Now I can't get rid of them at all. I'm on a non-story mode run
is there a way to remove them somehow?
Take a quest that requires them or use debug mod ?
If they don't weigh anything it's not really a problem
I guess it's not, cause they don't weight a thing, it's just weird
random question, but you guys won't know how to do it so steam records gamma's audio with that recording thing it does, right?
it looks like it records the game fine, just no audio
call me crazy.. but i would love to change my stalker to be lefthanded..

you guys know of any mods or if its an option in moddb already with gamma to change to english voices?
there's a translation yeah
but a lot of the voicelines will stay in russian (I think gamma is russian?)
imo it's not worth it, and a lot of the english lines sound goofy asf
i hear a few stalkers speakin in english but 80 percent of them are in russian..
right, yeah, I think that's the extent of the translation in anomaly.
yeah thats fair. the couple i hear are goofy asf lol
mercs and unisg speak english
but you can disable that
there's also a wonderful mod that makes it so every faction speaks both russian and ukrainian
should be the default if you ask me
yeah anomaly ukrainian voices, but you have to put it above grok armor exchangee so military won't lose it questline lines and traders can exchange armor
also there's dux voice kit that makes mercs speak og russian accented lines and english, sin sound demoninc and unisg have different voice pack but for some reason it's marked now "do not use" or smth like that
I'd be fine with a decent subtitle mod myself tbh
but the one I could find is on the "buggy do not use" category
Which one ?
Imma install that, can't get any "Help me I'm bleeding out" any more
!voice
@latent elbow read this: #╭📖faq message
i think you will still have to disable the eng voice manually
Ok thanks, I will investigate that later tonight
how much hours do i need to play to achieve 3 complete days with no sleep at all or fast travel?
4 irl hours is 24 hours in the game
so 12 irl hours?
DAMN
im playing iron man with life granter 3 days
but idk why i died standing still near a camp fire, do you die if 2 of your limbs are at 0? torso and leg
You die if torso or head reaches 0
Is there any way to make gamma more hardcore? Like progression wise
i have an interesting idea
every time you die in the game you have to go outside and physically touch grass
for at least five minutes
Literally impossible challange

go take a look in #1035807043933720576
Lets be realistic come on
I have recently, most of that isn't what I'm looking for
what are you looking for?
Harder progression, mostly in terms of weapons
It feels like I always have too much good shit by the time I can fix my first rifle
you can configure drop conditions in the settings
It's not the condition, it's that all the loot itself is too good
Sure the guns are broken as hell but by the time I have advanced tools I can repair any one of them with a little patience
I almost never get to use like a shitty AK because it's so close in progression to higher tier loot
you can just choose to use an ak yourself then 
since calibers are more important you can use anything comfortably throughout the whole game
black road mod f.e.
cultered pack by hailthemono, i've got 1 green barrel gun in 4h 
Try playing with difficulty/progression sliders ?

do note that tougher gun repair doesn't play nice with Sota UI though
since our mod alters the workshop UI script and Sota UI overrides it
man's asking for harder progression while I am trying to survive for invictus and getting shot to hell
different beast
what is it with stalker modders and having 10 fps in their showcase videos 😭
I have no idea
ahh i see in this case they were simulating the fps of stalker 2
to go along with the reanimation
clever very clever
Bros have a toaster and a dream
now i have an excuse for my low framerates
i'm clearly just poking fun at S2 
ok why are my NVGs so dark?
Either they are dark asf or too noisy and useless
are T1 NVGs just shit now?
surely 
Berformance
tier 1? yeah
also since beef's mod takes a "realistic" approch to the nvgs they don't just make light out of nowhere
they aplify already existing sources of light
so even t3 aren't that good if you're staring into complete darkness
just press n like a mf,one of the lighting settings should be better than other eventually
but yeah in its essence better than nothing tier,when its tier 2 it feels like heaven
seems like people have issues with NVs recently
three people so far saying "nightvision is too dark"
or doesn't work at all
this addon supposedly can help
or
enable the vanilla SSDO and set the quality to medium
that's another fix, although with SSS you will be dual rendering
not an issue if you don't play with SSS
Like i get its not meant to be good
but its literally just lower resolution and green
It should be a little brighter
but its not at all
Did you mess around with graphics settings at all?
If yes, restore default user.ltx
Had this issue few months back
found out it was due to me meddling around with SSAO settings
some setting was off and I turned it on and selected HDAO
NVGs stopped working till I turned it off
Boys, life is GOOD
Green barrel RPK before BS and MM
Can't believe I found a good RPK before I found a shitty toz for Hip
night vision goggles see in infrared and have an infrared projector, they don't just boost existing light, so it really doesn't make sense for them to be just insanely dark at any brightness in a pitch black room iirc
🤓 ☝️ actually ermmmm
all night vision in stalker fucking sucks
except for beefs nvg i guess
true!!!!!!
oh there are nvgs that just amplify light too my bad lol
i was just lookin it up FUCK!!!
viewing infrared = "thermal" vision
some nvgs let you see near-infrared (think how your phone camera can show when a TV remote flashes on or off)
but like. that's not that impressive
nerd
how do you think you get the helper role

Ok this is only like half true
it depends a lot on what kind of infrared we are talking about
thermal IR emission is long wave IR or FIR and by measuring the variance in a narrow band of IR out in the far range estimations can be made for how hot the object being viewed is
that's thermal imaging
to whoever decided pseudodogs should be able to tank two 12ga to the face: my most sincere fuck you
k
night vision tends to opperate in Near infrared and maybe there are a few that operate in short wave IR but for a body to emit that kind of IR it needs to be like 1000K
Basically IR is a broad category
sure man all i'm saying is "thermals are not nvgs don't get them mixed up"
which caliber change is better for Mosin - 7.62x39 or 7.62x54?
7.62x39 has a better ammo damage multiplier than 7.62x54r
also easier to access and performing basically on par
was about to ask about the dmg multiplier thing, makes sense
it's just good
currently trying Bandit run, found Mosin with green barrel and suppressor on fallen
colleague on like day 2 or 3 but also found AK-103
good point about ammo though, easier to craft as it is 5.45/5.56 category in terms of parts
Been using the Amb and 9x39 is op like u said even sp5 shreds most mutants and stalkers I haven’t used my pool of sp6 yet
you use 9x39 on mutants? 
It’s so cheap
but yea, 9x39 I call Sin removal, it pretty much erases them
I think of RPGs as sin removal

thses ecos gotta stop it with the jumpscares
I thought non-HP ammo does reduced damage against mutants. You have to dump a whole mag of regular 5.45 to take down a boar. Does 9x39 not have that negative to it's regular ammo?
no it's the other way around
hp rounds (and buckshot) have a giant bonus against mutants
i recently looked at the damage system stalker and gbo use out of curiosity and it's so fucking overcomplicated 
yes, we understand that, but FMJ kinda sucks on mutants
when HP is right there
the thing is, hes still being inefficient and dumb and stinky
because
its still more expensive than the other base rifle ammos
and its still worse than HP 5.45
or 5.56 HP
he really is shooting himself in the foot on the ammo economy thing
I dislike 545 as a caliber and crafting 9x39 is cheap as fuck when you constantly just disassemble other ammo you loot
It’s both
Oh no my fun I was having cost me an extra 60 rounds…. Anyways
Hp has huge bonuses and fmj/ap have a 0.85x multi against mutants for not being hp
When HP gets 2x damage against mutants, it is a big difference.
you weren't there for momo's gamma balls meltdowns 
||(balls is shorthand for ballistics)||
what texture mod manages gamma?
12 per 15 parts tho, so it is worse overall
you get 20% less ammo
bro remembers crafting and disasembly rates
nerrrrrrd
just vibe your ammo, the zone is a much happier place like that
only crafting
thats like 3 fucking braincells
its the only one thats 12 rounds instead of 15 fuckface

The horror!
thats 1/5th of your ammo, pretty shitty rates to waste on a mutant, but you do you
Already said I would chief
mutants are a mild nuisance to use the cheapest round possible on tbh
they pose minimal threat, just not worth 9x39
9x18 autopistols are the best guns in the game
but don't let the rifle purists hear that
Best against who?
Tushkanos
once played with a converted mp7, wasn't impressed though
feels really bad vs giants and controllers
mutants and stalker trash 
or was it the mp9? i cant remember the name, the rare HK one
is mp7 still taking 5.7?
Yeah

grok will bend ass backwards to edit .338 fed for 1 gun but not make the mp7 have its own ammo type
jk love your work grok
It would be a nerf to the mp7 basically
4.6mm was still meant to fill the same niche as 5.7mm so 
it would be like 9x18 and 9x19 but longer 
i remember reading that 5.7 won between the two because of cross compat with the p90 but that's irl gun talk and that's a no no here
yeah but honestly .338 lapua is the round that deserves to go
Yes, just 4.6 is used by less weapons, and is weaker than 5.7. The benefit is that it’s cheaper to manufacture
no its fine, you still need aspirational end game weapons
federal and lapua both serve as the endgame calibers
Leave lapua out of this 😭
to me it seems like .338 lapua is just "what if we had the gauss rifle but it's overpriced and you get it at about the same time" in most cases
and that's about endgame idk what to tell ya
Living legend is the only real yardstick by which you can measure progression in gamma, and all the other story campaigns after it are basically side content
true. mortal sin is peam though
I like to avoid Gauss rifle as much as possible, probably weird for that
just nonstop action (other than the backtracking lol)
i can probably count on my hand the amount of times I've actually decided to repair and use a .338 lapua rifle lol
by the time you're taking on the CNPP you're probably using at least a heavy armor and a D class AR/sniper the only thing left after that is optimising your artifacts and maybe getting an ISG nosorog
i just stick to the basic remington
has more personality

deer hunter if it graces my grubby mitts

reject all guns, embrace pkp/pkm
literally anti-everything guns
pp rounds are good against mutants and stalkers, and theyre cheap asf
R700 definitely has more personality

Kemper XL sight on the rail, box mag loaded
you also cosplay a juggernaut running around with a noso wielding an lmg like a madman
RPG on every companion is funnier

ok back to work, gotta get this done by 2 am
have fun stalking 
I wish gamma wasn't so big file size wise I have to delete it and redownload it every few months because I only got one SSD and it takes too much room
i had the same problem, you can actually load gamma onto an external storage as long as its not on a spinning disk hard disk drive and enjoy the game
that's how i played gamma for the first two years
having gamma on an HDD is cancer, don't even try that
yes even an SD card works 
I wonder how big gamma will get
It'd be funny if it reaches 200+go
its not as nuts as you think tbh
it will
until he purges the modlist at 1.0 release (10 eons) it will get bigger
lies
?
its not crazy tbh
do the npcs reload after every 10 rounds or something
makes sense
like 80/100 times
youre better off giving out shotguns
since they dont use the same ballistic calculations
meaning they obliterate stalkers
when NPCs use them
same with .338 fed and .45 guns
Eh should be around next year but we'll see
are you nuts? XD
thats certainly NOT happening in a year, i can almost assure you on that
I live on hopes and prayers
1.0 is way off

Let a man dream
HDD isnt bad at all
unless you got some 2008 HDD running on tape and bullshit
CPU doesnt do much for loading times
thats the only real issue
with HDDs
ah yes, i have to wait longer to change locations, womp womp

nah i've tried a couple different decent hard drives, they are not good at least in my case
because low ram capacity, things go into the page file all the time
its stutter nation
on an ssd its still stuttery when things spill into swap but its bearable
might be easier to just invest into that 32gb RAM 
sir i play on a dual core
who needs that many cores anyways
not if you know the ways

yes, you can uncheck the core 0 affinity

lmao, I thought that stalkers went too lazy when I was asked to bring PDA from stash 50 meters away
few minutes later, CS guy in rookie village asked me to bring secret documents from the stash in chest right behind him
just got to legend
which is hilarious
because im still doing living legend
its not some random dude looking for a legend anymore
its just a legend searching for another legend because... fuckin idk
shot bro INTO the wall
crazy

wow....
ITS SO WEIRD i cant find gunsmit or medical tools i found like 4 advance tools....
go swamp for gunsmithing
do last dawn
try the southern areas
and also swamps has a 50% gunsmith/meds in a gold stash
and if you don't want to do all that, there's always this mod https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1184546827152920636
lets you turn adv tools into med/gunsmithing tools
!companions
To recruit random stalkers as companions:
- Talk to the leader of the squad.
- The size of the squad must be within your limit (by default you can't have more than one companion at the time).
- Your rank value must be at least 1.5 times higher than that of the squad leader.
- Squad leader must consider you friendly (depends on your rank, reputation, faction relations and more).
Requirements 3 and 4 don't apply to paid companions, but they are rarer overall and can only be found among Loners, Bandits, Mercenaries and Freedom.
If you wish to be able to recruit more stalkers, in-game, open Mod Configuration Menu > Custom Companion Squad Size, and drag the sliders found within to the right.
it says 1.5
it means if im profesional
who can recruit?
it says exelent
idk wher you can see the other peoples number
aa the number
the middle one, mybad
you can recruit people that are around 6500 rank point or whats the name
ye
kill people to make it go up
so there you go
thats why im legend and im not even done the jupiter underground part

found a buddy
yes yes
i use it and its great
what is skills expanded
someone has the link?
there ya go
did u check the trait sistem box?
yes yes
but dont forget to take a look in mcm
finished freedom run, starting a new one, whats some must have or cool mods you guys like (im into milsim hardcore realism typeshiii)
thats fucking way to hardcore for me wtf

not mine, never tested it 
quite a distance
all the way over there
i could have just used my howa
used my CQBSS
but no
thats not as fun as a .50-90 round at like idk 240 meters?
big gun
.50 to the face ?
nah torso
hard to hit a head with irons at that distance
but yeah he died
so thats what matters
I don’t like the logic that dogs and zombies count as mutants because like are Monolithians mutants? No, right?
..no?
its been mutated to behave and look different
monolithians behave under the influence of a higher power but arent necessarily mutated
zombies originally werent mutants but actually just brainrotted stalkers but GAMMA decided to make them more unique by only having the oldhead unarmed zombies
anomaly has both
What does mono not being mutants have to do with dogs and zombies
X stuff

Is there a guaranteed gunsmithing tools drop?
Yes do last dawn
im playing sin :(
try forcing a stash in meadows
has the highest chance for a gunsmithing or med tools
Gatekeeper only appears when you start Living Legend
oh
I keep forgetting how beautiful Zaton is, super easy to make look good with the bare minimum of work
qq all, any weapon packs for dx9?
well would it not be easier to type that out?
so that normal people understand it?
idk im not chronically online enough to know every abbreviation on the planet
Zanton is honestly goated
You could literally just ignore the abbreviation and answer the question just as easily
also some weapon packs are dx11 exclusive?
dont remember asking
i don't care
Back in my day "qq" was used to indicate crying
watch as atrox posts the watch ya tone gif in response

Hip quest
Oh LOL nvm ab the hip quest
anyone who uses companion know where to start the quest line to get a pet?
i believe i shall try stalker bosspack
Hip in rookie village 
no no, i got the stray companion mod * thank you tho for takin the time to reply
ah, no idea then 
are you using Stalker's best friend? If I remember correctly the quest to get it starts from Doctor in the Great Swamps
yesssss
im talking to the professor right now, i dont see the dialog sadly... i know its installed correctly tho because i have the settings in Mcm
I mean the Doctor, the guy who gives you info on Strelok, the one in the cave
ohhhhh
thank you bro
you know what sucks, i was streaming the game one night for my cousin to get him into it, and he asked me to shoot the trader for... science.. and forgot it did that... 20 irl hours of playtime later... the butcher is still dead 
i want to start a second run but not sure what to do. anyone got recommendations?
no cheap hunting ammo for you bucko lmao
it hurts selling three rows of animal bits and pieces for 20k to joe shmoe
i wanna keep playing my current run but not being able to do the main quest blows
what happen?
happen
if you're willing to dig into alchemy aka debug mode, you can resurrect him by following the guide in here
also i just dropped like 50k trying to fast travel around for sr2m mags and cant find any.. anyone know where theyve seen some before?
higher level traders
warsaw ones
a man lives with his choices. 
Hello everyone! 👋
whats his supply level
guess you gotta cook em or something lmao
fuck ima have to grind out some rep for them, i been running freedom so Nato....

See i have loris level 5, he sells the ammo, but not the mags man..
guess ill just have to swap to a p90 er somn.. is there a p90 upgrade to get a rail. that little iron sight sucksssss
I just unlocked the chat after 3 years on de DC 
if you have the normal p90 no but the green p90 has a rail
i swapped back to the sr2m just gonna deal with having two mags lol... idk why but even level 5 traders will sell me the ammo but no mags
Just seems like torture to play with the mag system lmao
there's a typo in the sr2m mag in the trade presets lol
what do you mean?
gamma just doesnt work well with mags there are other modpacks that work just fine with them but gamma is the only one i hate mags with
thanks bro life saver
im officially a modder 
Guy reacts to himself 🤭 wish I had that amount of self care in life
Yeah that too
Rate my kit. how sigma am I?
Might be enough for spring cleaning
also I have my spare backpack on for some reason lol
It’s so weird seeing the default gamma ammo been using https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1065168136577482753
for so long I don’t recognize it
you are wandering at night in great swamps, and not so far from you, you spot this figure, and it starts comming towards you, what do you do?

Shooting my 300 Hydrashocks from my Vector 
it still wont die and comes closer
Run and put an anomaly between us 
i guess that's the way to deal with the visitors
it's like that imortal undead everyone is talking about in the swamps
The one from the Deadly Night quest ?
i still haven't done that quest cuz i'm 
Telling him i'm not alone

You can get it from Colt in the CS base in Great Swamps
Lot of fun 
what's the quest actually, and rewards?
Hnn.... anyone here able to discuss with me some of the various cut Stalker factions or the Stalker 2 Factions?
sinn were a cut one, they were called the dark stalkers
actually a very nice video about this topic
Hello stalkers!
It's time to take a look at some cut content about dark stalkers and the Sin faction. We'll discuss the original concept from design documents, how the idea was brought back in some mods, and if it could appear in the upcoming S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.
00:00 Introduction
01:12 Original Concept
04:06 Encounter with Sin
08:10 The Dark Sta...
I do know of the SIN faction, I was curious about others that might be interesting to use in the various pictures Im drawing revolving a "Post Stalker Trilogy" Zone
It's a special quest like there are in faction camp with special enemies to fight (this one is a very strong zombie lol)
Don't remember the rewards, maybe 10-15k roubles ?
I just watched this video. Its a very very good video
dunno if this counts but isg is also cut
The video is what made me consider "What if I introduced some cut factions for plots in my drawings?"
there's another faction, that it's in the lore, but cut from the game
Final Day
it was a faction that existed on first chernobyl accident, and vanished in the second one
I dunno if you've seen the #🎨arts-and-crafts , but Ive recently returned to my "Stalker Gals" series of drawings and Id like to make a more serious story that might use the less used characters
there was also an "black ops" from military called Interception
that was located in prypiat
that's all i remember
They vanished? I assumed from their appearance in Anomaly that they were the "Black Ops" group that got left behind or something
Oh, I see I see
ghost and fang was streloks squad
herd somewhere that the Mercs were in a hunt for ghost, and managed to kill him
Great helmet btw
fang died in miracle machine i think or was ghost?
man i've played og stalker in 2010
can't remember much
Didn't Fang get killed by a clone of Scar?
i'm 
i know ghost or fang was killed by mercs
forgot how the other died
That was the original plan for Clear Skies wasnt it? I just got done listening to like 3 videos. Im kinda very interested in it all
the plan of clear sky was to stop strelok from creating emissions
Ghost died to the Controller at the end of the Brain Scorcher
so fang was the one that a merc had him killed
I meant the cut story line
unsure if it was scar
Oddly enough, Fang's body was moved to Pripyat
i've heard it was killed somewhere between armywarehouse and pripyat
yeah, there's many loop holes in his story
also, there's a merc in zaton that you can use as a guard for the scientists in jupiter scientist mobile bunker
his name is black i think
Don't think you run into them in the old SoC ?
black is very sus
Fang has a grave in the Bloodsucker Village and in Pripyat. That being said, Fang could have just gotten back up and kept trucking
maybe he could faked his death? (4d chess)
no, the one you run into is guide, nimble too (he's the stalker you heal with medkit in the beginning)
He does have an Anomalous Suit that heals him
i dunno, noah and hunter told compass could do a lot of stuff
maybe fang had a compass
and had himself dissapeared, so strelok though he was dead
but he actually died in prypiat
i remember farming compasses from noah
I mean.... itd be cool if Fang is just out there somewhere biding his time
He does and he watches you when you do... your stuff 
Heh
I may consider adding Fang in some drawings if someone gave me a good pic of him
Of course he has Aviators. That just makes him cooler
This comes from Lost Alpha but I don't know how much it is lore-accurate 
It does make him look pretty cool
A must-have to explore dark corners of Pripyat 
Can't get attacked if you can't see them in the first place 
There was a mod, i cant remember what pack it was from, maybe Last Day? or Road to the North? maybe Dead-Air?
but when you completed quests that didnt require you to re-visit the trader, (bounties, revenge killing, that sort of stuff), it would reward you instantly over your PDA, like it would complete the quest and give you money, think i'd like to find it and maybe add it to my gamma mods and see if it works
Well if theyre polarized shades, then you can see better in low light than in bright light
I will ask him if I find him in Pripyat 
It would be hilarious if someone modded in "Polarized Aviators" that made everything Amber tinted at Fang's grave
Or find his glasses and have an amber filter with a goodwill/reputation buff from wearing them
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/autocomplete think i found it, gonna test to see if it works with GAMMA
nope, doesnt work
!autocomplete
@short plume Get the Autocomplete mod: https://www.moddb.com/addons/start/247448
WARNING: This mod can interfere with the way stash rewards are granted, screwing up GAMMA's "South to North" progression.
- Stash reward location is based on where you are standing at the moment that you receive the stash coordinates
- If the stash comes from a task, this means that where you are at the moment that you complete the task, is how the game determines where the stash should be
- Stashes are generated in the map you're in, or a "neighboring" map
This means that by using Autocomplete, you COULD screw yourself by grinding out a bunch of tasks in the North but only get southern stashes because you're standing in Cordon when you turn them in. Or you could really quickly cheese northern stashes by completing a bunch of tasks while standing in CNPP
ah i see now, yeah maybe i wont get it then, shame tho, always confused me when you walk across the zone just to tell someone "i did the thing", ah well
Not a big deal when you take lots of quests at the same place and do a circle on the map to complete them and go back grabbing the rewards
Me when I start as a loner but join Freedom after gaining hella goodwill with Duty, so I get all the benefits of being a Freedomer without the primary drawback 
where was the screenshot folder?
Anomaly -> Gamedata
👋

!screen
@wild mango
1) While in game, press F12, go inside Anomaly\appdata\screenshots. If the screenshot isn't there, look in your GAMMA RC3 folder, inside a folder called overwrite
2) Press PRTSC (Print Screen on your keyboard) open Paint, CTRL + V to paste the pic, save it, send it.
Alternatively press ALT+PRTSC to screenshot the currently focused window, then CTRL+V to paste.
3) Windows key + Shift + S, which lets you choose what part of the screen you want to take, it will directly copy the pic for you so all you'll have to do is just CTRL + V in the chat.
Lmao appdata my bad, I'm not on my pc rn 
Rare Doctor moment
Posted a mod 
yeah dw. i realised i needed to check anomaly folder after realising screenshot sound is low quality sound file.
what mod makes player arrow on map green? gamma minimalistic hud player.dds is white and nothing else overwrites it
Dunno.
In other news, I think I managed to set up my GAMMA modlist to be stable. Will see in the long run 
Also, rather interestingly, Redone Collection re-added a very interesting gameplay mechanic.
Specifically
The damned blind dogs actually have a pack fear mechanic.
Three blind dogs in a pack are brave enough to bite, kill two and the last one will run away with its tail between its legs.
I legit felt like it was 2007 all over again
I just got off work, though I am curious about some scenarios I might place the Stalkers I draw regularly into.
if theyre blind how do they know
nah imagine being able to smell gravity anomalies
like wtf
i don't think they would smell at all
chem anomalies probably smell the worst though
no they literally do
its in the lore
oh you mean the dogs 
blind dogs yea
You just got accustomed to the smell of earth gravity. Change it by a little and it really stinks up the place
what was the command to see what traders sell?
read the pins in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat
Now, near the ruins of the feared decades ago Brain Scorcher, Scientific Technical Centre “Malachite” stands as a haven of research curiosity and ambition. Unlike the once kindred SIRCAA, the scientists of Malachite have no qualms about immersing themselves into the Zone Itself and cooperating with stalkers.
Here, on the edge of the unknown,...
guys, svd or sv98?
i'm always
about those
sv98 has a really good scope, but weights more
svd you are stuck with the scope you find
also sv98 has bonus points cuz it looks like a bootleg awp
Do you like needing to rack the bolt
Svd is just click click click
Also idk if the svd has the armor pen bonus the sv98 has
awful forced delay though
how much time do i have to accept the monolith raid at the army warehouses what lukash announces?
and does anyone know a potentional hideout for unisg?
in jupiter
that's actually the best argument
i would rather choose more dmg per bullet in a sniper
you will get a base in jupiter during the unisg storyline
i always start a run with toz106 as a bootleg sniper (I have 20x70 slug mod)
this is why im asking, i "saw" him today
oh you mean when do they spawn?
yes yes

Got a Thermal Scope from a dead stalker, problem is I run an RPK that doesn't take scopes lmao
On that topic, guys, RPK or RPK-16? I think the usage of 7.62 would be better than optics/extra 20 rounds, right?
eh outskirts proved to much for now
unisg blocking me from progressing
even quick fixing ak to have some ap ammo did not help
nothing like finding a basic toolkit immediately after paying 7 bottles of vodka for one
is it worth it?
no throw it in the trash bin
ok

So, guys
RPK or RPG-16?
I got a Thermal and I REALLY wanna try it out, but I am yet to storm BS so I have no idea what caliber to stick to
Rpg-16? ayo what is that gun
The one with the bigger magazine and caliber, after BS everything changes anyways, so, doesn't matter what you use for BS.
*RPK-16
Well you see
so RPK or RPK? 
RPK has 40 rounds, 7.62, but can't mount optics
16 has 60 rounds, but 5.45, and can put optics on it
One is a c and the other is a D and I have both, so
RPK - 16 of course
it being 5.45 is not a downside
Idk I have a feeling that Monolith get killed very easily when I'm using 7.62, I feel like a placebo effect is taking place
I actually cleared the BS with five minutes to spare when I was with an AK105 (or was it an Alpha, I forgot?)
The D AK that uses 7.62
Yes, unluckily for me it didn't spawn
Not yet anyway
Also is the SVD any good?
I got it as well with a green barrel
SVDS yes
SVD no
Damn.
O.K, O.K, one last question, is the max magnification for a thermal scope is 4x? I found one off a dead stalker, is there any one that's better in terms of magnification?
the one gauss rifle has probably
Right, thanks, man.
NOT IN PUBLIC GUYS

XDD i cant get to words
also most heterosexual members of the mercenaries faction:
so this is how mercs are always spawning behind me from warehouse checkpoint with rostok
they reproduce this way, i see
and they have been trying to do this with me, but i'm always one sidorovich ahead of them
just picked up a strayer voigt infinity, my korth custom 6 is still better than this right? it's broken so would have to fix to test it
looks cool as hell at least
about to excursion into radar for the first time this playthrough, wish me luck
Korth is better but strayer isn’t far behind
Holyyyyy bro is swagged out of his mind
well just got here, any way to recycle weather? I restarted the game to no avail 
do an another quicksave, there is a campfire nearby i think, try restarting from there
if that doesnt help, its an anomaly
im sorry fella, it happened to me but it was red
you could try deleting the shaders cache folder in (your anomaly folder) > appdata
then the current weather is glitched
it will take around 3 in game hours to have an another type of weather
such is life in the zone
so what was the fix for the swamp thing not working?
personally SV98
for no particular reason, i just like it more
svd has such a slow fire rate despite being semi auto it might aswell be bolt action
its the age old question of sniper vs dmr pretty much
typically snipers have larger calibres but when they dont the advantige stops at muzzle velocity or accuracy
it does have better anims which is of course the morst impoirtan thing
spaa in gamma?
The Zone is no place for a spa...
any artifact that i should use?
giant skin.
thats like... all you have

how does one manage to get expert tools and a svarog, but not have any good artifacts

well i havent done artifact hunting😭
youve had a svarog for a bit
idk why not
also why use the ballistic plate over the giant skin, just toss the lurker hide
for now
not for long and after i got svarog really i went to do the main quest
artifacts are actually government spy drones
sure thing bud
stop collecting them
i got told the emerald is good but ye
WHY I ALWAYS KEEP KILLING STRELOK
where for example
aight
how so
zaton is better
so is jupiter
but if you need more after zaton and jupiter hit AW
because its still not terrible
sure ill go there but tmrw im bouta go sleep
truck cemetery can give you lots, but not high tier
just tons of low tier to make into high tier
is it worth it to use exo helm without exo suit even
yes?
nah i have exohelmet
since you have the ach
thats like
the best one i have
i dont see why you wouldnt
gotta fix the helmet tho
yeah i was gonna say you usually get it by the end of LL/MS
at worst you get it between MS and OAG
ah
well
my next task is to go to cnpp
im not happy about that and i gotta get some ammo and prepare overall
but my exo helm is pretty damaged
yeah the map is too small to hold such a large race
circuit de spa is a fire track though
does my companions rpg damage me?
cnpp is ez af just get a makarov and youre golden
maybe a joint or seventeen
Oh yeah wanted to ask, what is the most fitting sight for the standard newer ak-12?
use ak-74m, next question

i've just sold the 2nd exo book and t3 artefact book
getting very lucky with those
you can't buy those no?
i can
only t1 and t2
you cant
💔🥀 i like the ak12's

casual
theyre ugly and stupid
no
im actually more experienced than you 
also i dont play on the newest version

"better" as in easier?
no, better as in it has less unnecessary changes
that most people didnt like
i play on the hardest difficulties, i cranked stalker population and mutants, so i wouldnt call it easier
also what makes 0.9.3.1 easier to you?
i wanna know
Mostly grab/skin/backpack animations, Miracle Machine mutants and more random wondering stalker squads
Also Hydroshock nerf gg
the anims make the game more irritating rather than hard
How is the lack of animations easier
and you can disable them anyways
More animations slows down the gameplay
also the Hydroshock nerf wasn't major, it was a ~5.25%- difference
It was not major, you're right
Okay, how does that make gameplay harder 
Like the only thing I could possibly agree with is the Miracle Machine changes as not a lot of people expect to go against 3 Electro Burers
Every time you skin a mutant, each backpack opening and such, can get you killed
You can't just spam spacebar like i did on prev versions
Lack of awareness kills you, like you it was a thing previously
"Oh you spend 3 seconds locked in an animation, that makes game hard"
It's a shitty point
Game harder due to animations, gotcha
Time is money
Not sure what that means genuinely
wtf
uh oh
uhhh
so what did we learn? 0.9.3.1 is not easier
cordon loadout
JUST REPAIRED THE MONOLITH NOSOROG
something tells me this isnt base gamma
is there a mod that changes enemy animation when they get hit
probably not
death animations is the closest thing
i tried out anthology 2.0, they seem to have a new hit and death animation
some enemies sprayed their guns when they died
i can't seem to find the mod that does this
i think it comes with gamma by default
you only have to enable it
do you know which mod is it?
I mainly want to change the hit animation tbh, i dont like how enemies gets stunned when they got shot and its always the same kinda animation
ready for cordon bridge 
hardly
a blind dog killed me :c

Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.forgottenweapons.com
The GR-1 "Anvil" is a portable, shoulder-fired gauss rifle made by Arcflash Labs. Yeah, it's pretty awesome to be living in the future where we actually have real gauss rifles, isn't it?
First, some te...
I wish I could say I was joking, but I actually did get my hands on a Gauss Rifle dropped by a Monolith Trainee.
Someone's gotta test the weird shit and it aint gonna be Ivan
Real shit
Yeah that can no longer happen
Well since 0.9.3
yeah maybe don't ask gamma people for any kind of help :))
What is that song you hear in underground areas sometimes?
that's vanilla anomaly behavior
Metal Gear Solid ahh loadout
You have no idea
Have you played any old game
S2 gameplay
Well? Spill it.
Kity
Vanilla stalker behavior actually
very true fellow internetizen!!! have your updoot
Anyway not having to actually kill the guys on the leaderboard helps
You can just kill as many hostile faction members as you can as you assault their territory
The odd ally will get killed
is there a way to increase nvg noise and distortion to look more like rl?
What about the color
I know how to change the color but I want more distortion and stuff
Ok gamma fan
Yes we are all gamma fans
I personally don’t agree with radiation poisoning
The Children of Atom don’t exist in Stalker
They do
They're called monolith
You think monolith cries about radiation poisoning? No,they eat that shit up
That's why every faction fears them
They're the boogie men of stalker
Monoshit, just put the exo repair recipe in the bag.
Which one of the factions give the most money for lab docs?
Probably eco's if i had to guess
Since they always begging for docs or artifacts
Yeah, those damn pencil pushers
👋
Free tools and achievements
The best part is their disguise doesn’t work so you can be whoever and use their stuff
Until they finish the faction and change that from a balancing feature to a different balancing feature
Tukarev gave me some 30k for Jupiter underground docs, Sakharov 18k for x18 docs, sadly didn’t succeed in monolith control center docs for loki
anyone ever figure out what causes some enemies to drop their guns on the ground when they die? ive always wondered that
not sure but that's annoying at times
it is, i noticed it doesnt give you any ammo on the body
hmm sad
i vaguely remember playing anomaly/coc and when that used to happen you used to be able to unload the gun for ammo but not in gamma 
probably too op cuz it would give you a full mag
you can actually sometimes unload guns from corpses
for example during quests to find dead bodies with a package or anomaly scanner
You know what's more annoying? Lost Signal for Zaton. Never taking the quest for this location ever again
Been everywhere, I guess I got unlucky and they dispawned or something, I can't be that stupid not noticing anything running through the marks twice 
If you're unlucky they are actually not dead but alive and roam the map.
well good riddance then
no threat left on the map so they should be chilling
wait i actually recall seeing a squad of 4 loners wondering around

that was before i went out for the quest, so it did not cross my mind
Has anyone ever accidentally fallen into the hole in the mine in Red Forest?
I fell there intentionally once in Anomaly vanilla, there was no way out
I tried to jump on barrels to climb a ladder, didn't work
Maybe in Gamma there are better chances
I’m convinced that ladder is bugged
It could be
If you head to the back, there's a stack of boxes that you can destroy that leads out 
That way was boarded off 😭
just knife it
The boards looked indestructible
just naded one guy, he dropped his weapon on the ground but had ammo in body
maybe im just unlucky then 😂

It's a normal accessible area. 🤡 There used to spawn artefacts too in the room with the electro-anomalies, but not seen there any for a long time now.
The stink chambers
It's funny how the three scientiest from the Jupiter bunker return after a while after you killed everyone else, and try to sneak up on you from behind. 🤡
When do we get the nutrition update? The one that adds fats and carbohydrates and proteins and stuff
A stalker gotta have a balanced diet if he is to confront the monolith
Including diabetes if too many glucose shots?
Woah that's a stellar idea
Gotta carry the insulin with you
And once you reach the north you can buy one of those insulin regulators you just patch them on your arm
Grok come on bro
Hire me already

We could continue and go into Dwarf Fortress style of health logging, calculate each bone, blood vessel, organ and so on. Lose stuff if badly hit, limp forever if the leg got hit hard. 🤡
And get aids if you shoot a freedomer right next to you
Fortunately, x-ray would shit itself
What should you give a Freedomer that got everything? - Antibiotika and Penicillin.
'Fortunately'
@scenic trench don't come complaining when you're out of insulin in truck cemetery my guy. I won't be sharing my supply
Try going to the very middle of location, drop receiver, save, load, take receiver
Yeh ls at zaton is the worst
Hey guys, I just installed gamma and I have only 442 mods instead of 548, how can i fix it?
!444 / ?
@neat shale Have less than #📍577-mods-in-mo2?
- Make sure you have the latest GAMMA launcher (currently, v6.7.0.0)
If you don't have the latest launcher, use
!v6in #🤖bot-commands and follow instructions.
- Temporarily disable your antivirus if you have Avast, AVG, Norton or Malwarebytes
- Close Mod Organizer 2
- Open the GAMMA Launcher
- (optional) Disable "force git download" and "force zip extraction". This will make it go quicker.
- Click "Install / Update" and wait for it to finish completely.
- Re-open Mod Organizer 2.
