hmm shit
hold on
i can give you mine
mine is also altered more than his anyways, its a little better tbh
ah alright
imma just slap it here, and in mods posting
ok so take this
adds more that are registered by the mod
ah
yeah got it
so take that .ltx
D:\GAMMA\mods\The_Collector\gamedata\configs\plugins\the_collector
put it in that folder
where
ye
then in MO2
right click
open in explorer
then just navigate to configs > plugins > the_collector
then paste that .ltx in there
select replace
and thats it
not really, i just installed gun mods mainly XD
i mean i like gun mods
just havent installed any
havent found anything that interesting
i mean im open for recommendations
are gun mods difficult to install?
i downloaded frostys some vssm or something
just now
also frostys mods have 3DSS built in
with a FOMOD
really easy to do
i really liked his mosin one
that has the obrez mosin and normal one
or his M32 launcher one, not as balanced, but still fun
should i download this
no idea
rn im about to bed
its 6:30 am
no sleep till i finish this warhammer+ video i found, and i didnt even have to pay lmao
are you asking random internet schizophrenics what *you* should do to *your* game that *you* will be playing?
hm
im just wondering that how do i put them in the mo2
just like any other mod or?
all extra mods go to the bottom of the list unless specified otherwise
he is
XD
finnish steel storm is so amazing i love it
okay so
atroxinal
i just put the gunmods to gamma disabled or what
im confused
man, im too fried for this rn, if you really need help try #🔨modded-gamma-support
or possibly #╙🖇mods-making-discussion
guys can i heal limb near fire? I got fucked up and don't have a y postheals
no
theres a mod for it
but not by default
jjuust aann update loookinng at parts monnday
sleep
@celest sparrow mags work
my old save from like 3 months ago didn't crash
surprisingly
Lowkey can't stand most gamma youtubers
apart from cheeki breeki
yes bro we see the custom shaders and we know your game is running at 15 fps mate
I'm playing gamma ATM
can the mod guns be found from base gamma enemies
amomaly
yes
but it will take some time before the npcs start spawning with the new guns
how does zcp mutant population works? ive been playing it on 0.5 forever, rarely got more than 1 chimera at once in the north, instances with more than 2 in a pack were almost unheard of
changed now to 1.0, even started new game specially for that
but im only getting 12+ dogs and 6+ cats, no new chimeras anywhere, fking annoying bullshit
Gon try install dynahud (if it isnt already lol)
Anything I should know beforehand?
Not really familiar with modding stalker as a whole
just use the base gamma hud like a regular person
Nuh
stalker HUD peaked in CoP
true
although, I do like the damage type indicators from CS
all 3 games are good anomaly and gamma are shit 
CS kinda sux
what AK can i convert into 556, someone said i can with some ak
I think clear sky kit turns the ak into 556
or just find the natively 556 ak
from mercs
ez
or just use an m4
ez
it makes problems from SoC even worse while adding nothing of note
103 I think is already 5.56? Or some other 10x
it was more of a joke
but alright
or AK 5C 
I know dood
SoC, CoP, Anomaly and GAMMA are all 8/10 games for me
some guy said the PMC? i think
101 and 102 are 5,56
nah we all know gamma is shit 
imagine playing gamma
103 and 104 is 7,62
who even does that in the big 25
105 is 5,45
105 is short 5.45
wdym you don't like manufactured suffering and tedium 
ak 104 is short 7.62 103 is regular barrel lenght
did my first mono barrier defence this run. They had 5 RPGs. Things got exciting 
had more trouble killing off the rest of freedom though. Felt like they all saw and shot through walls
went to the outpost SW and shot em from there, NPCs completely break down if you shoot them from far enough 
btw, is it me or RPG feel nerfed to hell? What's with blast radius, damage and 1m/s projectile speed?
FIRST 5 BULLETS
I FIRE FROM THE THOMSON IN CORDOn
IT JAMS
I knew I should've went with the 1911
imagine finding mod veresk with green barrel on mil guy from swaps, 3/4 parts are green
but for 4 days in the zone u cant find 4th part ANYWHERE 
and its 0%
and veresk jams every 5 ammo just because 
????
ok random ass zombie in cordon tunnel
bro was packin
King Von in the flesh
gamma parts mod has a will of its own
can anyone share their sss settings since i cant get mine to look nearly as good as in some youtube clips i watches
After Rogue asked us to kill a pseudogiant, I need to get a quest from Fang, but I can't find Fang?
you could probably reload all entities in debug
How ?
It's stich
Not fang
Fang has been dead for years tho. His grave is in Pripyat
Besides Stitch is the one you need to talk to. He sits on some crates by the bunks
This can't be, my memory has failed me terribly, sorry for the misunderstanding.
No worries
my game looks stupidly blurry, all objects seem to have a glow to them i think its cuz i messed with sss so can anyone share me their settings of sss?
be ready for 15 and a half fps
What's y'alls favorite starting faction and loadout?
always loner
how is life gals, what's new in gamma?
Dunno, it feels bad that you take care of your gun and it still fucks you over when you need it
btw whats the best actual pistol overall? not counting broken rsh
sr1m? or glock?
Check your dm's
I'd say SR1MP but that depends if you like HP 9mm
My personal go-to is the OTs-33. Great at all stages of the game if you convert it to 9mm or even if you don't its an effective 9x18 HP hose.
there's no overall best pistol i think
some are good against people and some are good against mutants
Loner of course
Wait the Skorpion is lumped with the pistols in the loadout screen. Does it count as a small weapon now?
Starting as an outsider faction makes sense too
Like military merc or uni
And ecos
nope
Aw
damn
Anyway my current headcanon is that I was sneaking into the Zone via the Swamps and CS caught me. After interrogation they agreed to let me go under the condition I help them but then after I leave I go Loner.
Basically I just wanna start with the Kar98 lol
can edit starter loadouts, I reckon. Also, proper stalkers start with PM 
also you can abuse that tutorial quest and let Fanatic do everything for you
That is a good point. Could always start with the Mosin and then drop it and debug in the Kar
The only thing I usually abuse is to let Fanatic kill those fking boars
My god they are tanks when you start off with noting but FMJ
they are pain no matter where in progression you are
I find they are ezpz once you get either HP or a shotgun. I never like starting with shottys tho. Like you know you're going into one of the most dangerous places on Earth, why would you bring granddad's old over/under.
Then again, gear progression....so idk
Just don't shoot them in the head, that never works
well, too bad that their fucking head is about 80% of their silouette when they charge you
does psy resistance apply to the spike artifact?
and flanking may become difficult when there is 4+ of em. One or two you can just knife, so much for that
but there is a chance of boar doing 180 on you. So yeah, fucking pain all around
I fuckin hate that. Climbing onto something is recommended but that's not always an option. Trees help a lot to juke them though.
Unless you have like 3 of them like you said. 2 is easy enough to manage with a tree.
3 is doable still but you gotta pay attention to where they are
Anywho I'ma get another coffee and kick this pig as a Loner in the CS base. Thinking Kar98 and I'll even take your advice and take a Makarov as the sidearm. A bit like Skif in S2. Different. But same!
I don't think so. As far as I can figure it out in one minute
Funny you say that
I'm unironically using the PM in the Outskirts right now
Neat little sidearm
Rechambered it to 9x19 for the bigger punch, and got some HP loaded to kill any low tier muties or zombiefied without wasting the expensive ammo (SP-6, Barrikada/Shrapnell shells)
Plus the firerate of the 3 round burst is just low enough to not need to worry about the recoil much, while still being fast enough to kill well
people use 3 round bursts on pistols?!
on PM - totally 
eh
Not me
I despise burst fire
The one exception is the AN-94 and that's only because the hyperburst isn't noticeable
burst fire on low fps feels terrible, i never used burst fire modes ever while i was playing on my laptop
Not something I usually have to worry about. I don't have the best computer but I can typically run GAMMA at 60-ish with medium-high settings. Have to tweak things a little but generally I get good performance.
Back when I was on my old 970 though...dayum. Everything was as low as it could be and it'd still struggle sometimes.
bruh how do I turn off only saving near campfires
!yacs
@opaque raven How to disable YACS (forced campfire saving) safely: #╭📖faq message
Don't forget you can save in other safe indoor areas like Sid's bunker, Cold's cabin, Mangun's shop, etc. Basically anywhere inside where you can find friendly NPCs. Or underground like in Agroprom.
Personally I like the campfire system
pff XD
Wish I could get the mags redux to work. Crashes my game every time. I like to actually think about how much ammo I'm using. Don't wanna be caught in a firefight with 2 mags half loaded of HP ammo.
whats up with renegades? Theres no rep display in the PDA
you can't disguise as them so you can't become friends with them so there's no point in showing you the goodwill values
same with sin and unisg
oh nevermind you can disguise as a renegade
it's still useless since they don't have any traders or even a base
Oh i see, but guess that changed if u start as one of them ?
i dunno 
will this thing drop the kit when i disassemble it?
I think to get the kit is just a chance so if u can make a save and try multiple times til u either get it or find that it's impossible
ik u can get upgrades not sure about kits
the SUP kit? no
should've saved all that yapping


Hey guys
Just how rare is Monolith Nosrog armor?
Every faction does have a variant of them, don't they?
not every faction has a noso
I am pretty sure Military, UNISIG, and Loner do, no?
never seen a spreadsheet that lists the rarity of different helmets and suits
though you yourself must have 17 scavenging to get it
I am losing hope of finding NOSROG UNISIG
9th one I crossed wearing it but, no such luck
And yes, my scav is high oh that level
no nosrog for loner, cs, eco, sin, renegade i think
one of the easier ones to find since you kill a lot of them in the story
yo i just gota new moniter 2560 x 1440 and this stutter and fps is BUNS like it was sorta noticeable but in some areas its straight up unbearable and the stutter fix is ticked, is there any winning with this or stalker is just gonna stalker?
Quick question: does rain still have an effect on weapon condition?
I have a Monolith Exo with a good artefact compliment, but I'm running Invictus, as you see, so I don't feel comfortable going further north till I have secured a NOSROG at least
@frank oxide daddy oflin please help
i wanna know too
*UNISIG Exo
i don't know that so i'll assume no
I actually found more Artefact crafting VOL 3 and Exo repair guides than I found an Exo helmet or a Nosrog
it only affected the main condition before yeah?
Hm. I recall at some point it did so was curious.
probably
you can always go check WPO moddb page
see what affects part wear
tru
if they listed it that is
I think I'll just assume it does. Don't feel like reading. Etiher way thank you.
do amount of items in stashes and how far apart affect game performance?
Huh, my scav is 16, not 17, didn't notice that, thanks for the tip
Fixed the other side of my roof 
"your" roof 
I don't see anyone else living here (ignore the dead mercs on my lawn) 
real fucking water tight mate

Good enough. 
you might want another couple wood planks
just for the like, 10 holes
theyre small holes i guess tho
Question is....do I do the practical thing and patch sheet metal on the other side to close it off, do I commit to the bit and patch individual planks over each gap, or do I leave it as-is because the little bits of light shining through is actually pretty aesthetic? 
So I can't seem to be able to equip the 'hunter's toolkit' backpack
Just bought it
Is it because I quick released my old bag to use as a stash?
planks
individual
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YkDN-tHxLaI I need whatever mod gave him the casings hitting the ground cause I dont remember that being in gamma

I need to make progress on my sound overhaul
No i dont

no, you just can't equip it at all. Make another backpack
yes
I'm to lazy to install the game right now
amomoly bud'laska
Oh amazing my internet just shit itself
its' been 5 days without a single "lever" component
zone take pity on me I just want a shottie that doesn't suck
can the hacking device be in ANY bus in TC
imagine being so lazy that you can't even press few buttons. Oh wait, it's me 

check technicians, they may sell it. Also you can go hard way and make a repair kit
it just takes a long ass time and i hate leaving my pc on all night
which means i leave it on my hard drive no matter how much space it takes
Thats how grok gets ya
been checking technicians from cordon to army warehouses, but I need to look into a repair kit

I hope you own a diesel so I can put E85 in it
PK Machine guns or RPD guys?
Hip has become a professional which means she can now hit one out of every 10 shots, a miracle
I think 7.62x54 PP should be better for NPCs
That'll probably work, I used to think RPG would suit her, then she doesn't shoot at any cluster and feigns not being hostile at all even after taking 20 bullets to the face, so it's just a waste, 7.62 it is
i dont

"a waste" mate do you have infinite RPG rockets?
i didnt fucking think so
its not a waste in her hands
I think she only fired it four times in our entire run
She just switches to her pistol
weird
they have infinite
so maybe its because hip is a retard
i swear she is particularly stupid
No like she actually refuses to shoot it, or even acknowledge there is an animal at all half the time
monolith and sin are the only ones suicidal enough to point blank you if they use one
*enemy
yeah
like i said
hip is big tard
never had that issue
not as much as you at least
A UNISIG legend dumped an entire magazine in her face blank and she didn't even notice that dude
Other AI will have to set the mto sniper combat mode and even then they wont do shit
i dont even have useful idiots
it complicates shit
and makes them more dumb
also half the modes dont work
lovely XD
theres a few yellow busses in there lmao
Man
WATHE FUCKKKK I THOUGHT IT WAS AN AMBIENT SOUND NO FKIIN WAY IM OPENING THAT DOOR

it's in the walls
don't worry it's just schizophrenia
you are able to craft a lot of 9mm ap ammo

Ey guys
Irons + Freezoom (if it's not buggy af)
or
Mid ranged scope + canted red dot?
Because at long ranges x8 or adjustable 1-8x still wins let's be honest.
I kinda find playing with bare AS Val loaded with SP-6 cool
Just shredding shit that comes my way, no matter if it's just a leather jacket rookie or a nosorog fanatic with artifact forcefield
I mean theres nothing what could make that sound✌️
irons + 2x zoom factor in the settings 
That is not enough for my 1280x768p res 😭
Tho I admit that is good
Keeps the peripheral vision relevant even when aiming
Unless you use aperture sights
I hate most of those.
yeah they do not translate well into anomaly/gamma
True
I kinda feel like open sights should zoom less but give you the advantage of peripheral vision unbothered, while apertures would be just a cheap magnification before you can buy a scope
someone needs to make this into a mod
GAH trying to install gamma and internet keeps fucking right off
I give up
fuck this game
goddamn the ak12 type rpk16 lmg probably is my new favorite rifle
95 round drum and almost no recoil
Are there alternate ways to get gunsmithing tools
is there some good spot in rostok to setup a main base of some kind
many. I just take that tiny room close to mechanic, but you can take former Arena room or the one in the same building, but with entrance on the other side
anyone saw glitch like that? Is it something off with SSS or just potato PC?

last dawn questline
👋
starting last dawn in the Clear Sky base or patch lottery at Aslan
Do factions usually enter a ceasefire when you turn off the Brain Scorcher?
Man the frustration of updating was worth it. Some of these new animations are so...crispy
no
its exclusive to mercs (if you play as one) making one with loners so the main story tasks don't get blocked
I see.
So i finally found SVDS Retrubution, anyone thinks its worth converting from 7.62x54 to 556 and if yes why?
Its always worth converting the svds to 5.56
cheaper ammo and the damage multiplier is higher
the guns base damage stays the same so you just get an increase in damage and cheaper ammo, literally no downside
I was digging for another setting and found WPO by accident and recalled my question from earlier. It's configurable but yes, rain looks like either it has it's own degradation or it's a percentage increase to the base degrade value when shooting.
whats wrong with my scope bru
!noscope
@zenith prism To fix missing scope reticles with 3DSS enabled:
- Go to Settings -> Modded Exes > Visual > Shader Scopes, make sure 3DSS is on
- Go to Settings -> Visual -> Advanced, make sure AA and SMAA are off
- Restart the game
Still haven't had a chance to comepletely glaze Sanctus for his work on Gamma's score
It might actually be my favourite individual component of Gamma; it's music
ok OFC THE VERY SECOND MASTER OFF STRIM gave me the exobook so i could reach my final form, after grinding exobook alone realised that lost interest to the run even all i need is to talk to hernandez and capture strelok 
It's probably nothing
well bro has never played CoP...
tbh it's a pity x8 is so dogshit in anomaly/gamma, with redone it's way too cancer, CoP was pretty OK
Give me an artefact that increases my chances in blackjack god damn it
o monolith....ace and queen monolith....ya zovu tebya monolith...
Sakharov must have one cause I just lost 20k to him
Wait a minute what is that in your melee slot?
Smg? You can put one in there? Wth
mp7s, p90s, sr2m and a few other smgs can go in the melee slot
only the MP7, P90 and SR2M

mmk this just in: if you have the auto trade enabled for junk parts and then accidentally try to select one of those parts again before committing the sale it will crash your game. Every time lol.
I just found out the legend of the zone trilogy got a DLSS feature. Could it be? Could it be possible for the x-ray monolith engine if they were able to cast this black magic on an even older engine? LOL
I hope they can modify monolith to use dx12 too ahaha
Now it makes sense. 
Is there a resource for checking which vendors at which supply level sell what tactical kits?
I wanna know when and where I can I get a Mauser 98k kit and a KS-23M Drozd 'Bear' tactical kit
kits are usually a level 4 and 5 offering, nato factions sell nato kits and vice versa, all of them
or you can go to nimble, he sells ALL weapon modifications
but I've got some kits available to me at level 2 merc, and I know that some kits are only available to some vendors disregarding Nato/WP affiliation
in this playthrough it's gonna be a while before I get to Zaton
the only limited kits are the clear sky and duty AK kits
the rest are only divided by faction
would the KS-23M Drozd kit be sold by Nato or WP factions then?
it shoots the big boy shotgun rounds
WP only

Freedom be looking at him like he's crazy
What's the difference between the K98k upgrade kit and the Forester? Does the upgrade kit just turn a normal K98k into a Forester?
doing a merc ironman run and it's awful having to go all the way to Dark Valley for the bandit quests
yes
Forester doesn't have a caliber change (7.92 kinda sucks, IMO) so I'm not interested. 
I never usually use snipers
like
ever
but I'm finding them mighty useful for ironman runs
Turns out, playing a point and click adventure is a pretty easy way to play it safe. Who'd have thought?
and the gun I started with was the K98 so I wanted to upgrade it, since I haven't been getting any green-barrel sniper drops
A solid sniper for stalkers, your favorite shottie for muties and a good handgun for a fallback panic response to either or is unironically a pretty peak loadout.
whenever possible I always put a Glock Hornet in my melee slot
HP ammo shreds mutants
AP ammo shreds exos
well, at the rate of fire the Hornet has anyways
Apply enough ammo to any problem and you can solve the problem (eventually) 
Light switch broken, no light in room? Shoot hole in ceiling, boom, room have light. 
I was using a G17 Bruder on my previous character, has a solid firecap and, like, zero recoil even if you don't give it the fun switch upgrade.
I think that SSS devs are working on integrate DLSS, DX-12 is not a required feature for DLSS tho, some modded engines like OGSR and IX-Ray already have DLSS and these don't have DX-12.
anyone know where sids shipment is? no map marker
jank task that tends to bug out
either reload a save to before you took the task or if you want, I can dm you the commands to complete it through debug
yes please dm the commands to complete it in debug mode thank you kindly one
Ngl getting 5 gold stashes in AW with a 51percent drop for advanced and getting 3 gunsmith and 2 medkits is bullsh*t lol
I'm surprised there isn't new cooking recipes. Like, where's the recipe to combine a can of chili beans, a can of corn and a boar meat to make chili?
im also playing on hardest difficulty and hardest progression so maybe that has to do with it, but im being gate kept here. lol.. i cant do BS with 9mm and a shotty lmao
theres mods i seen for new food items, idk if it was for crating or just items in game
I mean, with just gunsmithing tools and an A repair kit from basic tools you could get a wicked sick SMG and enough ammo to kill anything that moves, so that sounds kinda skill issue TBH 
The real problem would be most light suits are kinda dookie.
maybe thats the issue dying up there, im playing like my main save. i need to remember my BR is weak af..
still want the commands?
yea idk if ill get to it tonight but if youll be around tomorrow if i have issues can i message you for instructions?
check dm
and then, this happened, game decided to spawn a bandit to put a package near clear sky base
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm where is this bandit going 
who f3ing their quick release rn
Me when 'a-life item released'
how can you force-loot something even if you are warned by someone else?
Kill them
this military death squad rolled into cordon on the first day and absolutely steamrolled everyone at the farm. I managed to bait them out, no idea where they are, but if I try looting some of the bodies at the farm I'll get the warning from a military, even though I don't think they're in the immediate vicinity of the farm
It's fine, I was just wondering if there was a way to loot regardless of warning
It means they're close enough not to trigger the 'nothing found' message though 
ah
well I wisely fucked off for the night. Spent the entire day trying to get a lucky hit in with my starter shotgun lmao
! docquest you can try to do this
@fair silo
- Enable debug mode from here: #╭📖faq message
- When in-game press F7; In the "Execute on Target" window, select "Trade (all)" and only take both Doctor's Key and Doctor's Notes to start the quest.
You can always kill him if you want, as intended.
Or disable loot claim
Kinda wish if you spammed f enough you'd be able to loot it for a goodwill and rep hit
You can make mod which does that
I can't script 💀
very sad
gm idiots
It's been a while since I have played GAMMA. Any new story/content mods? I remember mostly having Itheons New Tasks, Mod and Story Adjustments Mini-Pack, and Mysteries of the Zone Unlocker.
Definitely curious to know what extra mods people are using. I also remember Arti's ammo mod and Western Goods. SIGMUND was also... interesting?
gamma bad go play the originals
Yeah definitely curious as to what extra mods are worth using. Gonna go for a much lighter load order this time though.
Story still hasn't been updated but there's been a lot of changes to shake up the game
Did you play back when you could still skip BS
My memory is awful, what is BS again?
Oh wait Brain Scorcher. Uuuhhhhhhh
I don't know, my last run was UNISG.

In all honesty I prefer gamma without a forced story the player has to follow
feels WAY WAY better as a sandbox
TBH I remember being desperate for new story, that's why I went with UNISG.
sure the faction story lines are decent for roleplay but other than that a proper fleshed out storyline isn't needed
Try it again I think you will be surprised
Vanilla is fine only recommend mod :
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hip-kardashian
I will be soon, waiting on a PC replacement.
Is there any additions in terms of tasks? I remember using Itheons tasks a lot.
If the tasks are less repetitive that sounds nice
Still peak gameplay
I think they can be integrated just fine. Make the writing better and add more story moments that aren't mandatory. Good for those who want it but can be skipped
My favorite questline is the 'secret' one from doc. Feels like it has the most narrative potential. Add some characters and some moments in the labs that can be experienced entirely by player choice (by virtue of being the labs) and change the final fight with the monolith to have different spawn locations instead of right in front of the wish granter
I think my last non-UNISG run was Ecologist. I started killing both Duty and Freedom since they got on my nerves. Disguised as Duty and bombed their checkpoint with pipe bombs.
This quest feels the most 'final' and satisfying to complete to me. Operation afterglow just doesn't feel 'final'. Docs secret quest makes me feel like I'm done though
I assume you're using the unlocker for mysteries of the zone then?
Nah. I've always just shot him dead 😭
😭
I do not think I've done the questline for Clear Sky so I may do that
Unless I have and just have terrible memory
Theirs isn't much more than 'kick out the renegades again'
Darn
if theyre gonna implement a story it should be completely optional
Not forced
Well you can disable story mode
I'm sure that option will get used
I'm aware but I'm saying it can be repurporsed
As of rn turning it off DOES turn off the story quests
But in turn it also makes BS and MM not exist anymore
All it needs it to make BS and MM mandatory again and it'd work
Could either leave LOTZ storyline and implement a new one
or work around legend of the zone to implement new story elements
theres different paths tht could be taken
isn't BS and MM kinda necessary for even freeplay progression?
No
you could stay south all game so no 
North is accessible with Story disabled
I meant as like. Balance
Not even balance
Ye I'm aware of this but I meant
alo non
Assuming you ignore the story
It's deadass the "I want to experience the sandbox without having to play through a Story"
Isn't gamma 'balanced'by there being two main sections and a gauntlet you have to beat
because BS and MM are there progression and story wise
the anomaly story is barely a "story" at all
its just repurposed from the 3 previous games

I agree 100%
I just meant that BS and MM are kinda core to how gamma plays. No rushing to the OP stuff before you can display A LITTLE bit of competence beating BS and MM
They were only core as of recently
this is why I said we could work around the current "story" to implement new features and stuff to do
NO I"M NOT TALKING ABOUT OPERATION AFTERGLOW OR WHATEVER THOSE ARE BORING
or grok could just put a new button called "enable new story" and make an entirely custom story for gamma
because that's how Grok wants it to be
That i also know, which I respond with: if this is how gamma will be balanced from now on, why would they make freeplay exempt from it? The point of freeplay would be to have the standard gamma progression just without the story that may or may not be implemented
Because it's Freeplay
They have to be exempt because people don't want to do them
which is why you play with the Story disabled
you don't want restrictions on your progression or the gear you're able to acquire
But Ivan here would want story to be completely optional if the story overhaul grok wants to make comes out
He just doesn't want to do a 'story', just standard gamma progression and gameplay
I never said that
I'm using you as an example of 'wants to do BS and MM but not with story'
I said if there was a story it shouldn't be forced
Yea OK granted I jumped the gun a bit
It's most likely going to be X-18, MM and BS before you're able to go North so you're not entirely forced into it
Well it depends on the loot drop because this playthrough I will run BS with KSG-23 and SVD 
but Story being disabled is there for those who want to roam the North without any restrictions
Chat
it's not that deep
I wouldn't see any harm in there just being.. two options. Story disabled and freeplay/no restrictions
I need to go and buy one of those arm joints or whatever for a mic
I mean you could just disable the Psyfields in North mod
idc
But it's simply easier to disable the Story
You want to follow GAMMAs progression to a tee? Play with Story enabled
You don't want to follow GAMMAs progression and want to experience the complete sandbox? Play with Story disabled
It doesn't even make sense why you would want the Restrictions to be enabled when the Story isn't entirely forced upon you and you can do MM and BS without starting LTTZ
Well I'm thinking it'd simply be a better option for story mode to be an actual linear story where some stuff needs to be done. It means you wouldn't need to make the 'story mode' for two people. Those who want to ignore it and those who want to play it. I feel like it's too limiting to adapt both audiences cuz maybe a quest could lock you into something rlly long or sum for Le Narrative? So it'd be better to just have a mode where you can opt out of stuff like that entirely
You don't even know what Grok has planned for the Story and how much it'd be required for the Player to progress into the North
At best Grok will most likely add X-18 into the general loop so you can access X-16
You're right, I don't know anything about it. I don't know how big the scope is, hence the conjecture. I just see no reason why it couldn't be implemented.
Because it's not necessary
I don’t see an issue with how it is currently
Everyone gets what they want already
Story mode enjoyers get to play story
People who don’t care about story but want the progression get to do that , just don’t start the quest
People who want free play can turn it off
'Currently' is what it mean, yknow? I don't know how it'll turn out in the future or what changes/stuff will be made mandatory to the story. I don't see the harm in an option that enables or disables BS/MM at start or the ability to off it limiting travel. (without going thru mcm)
Assuming grok makes story mode still have completely optional story quests, this is irrelevant
But in the case some are mandatory then why not
It's rather stupid to discuss such matter when we have no idea about Grok's plans
like I'd understand if Grok has actually revealed the Story to everyone, but as of now it's not really a point of discussion
Well.. yeah, it's conjecture, not criticism.
When i talk about ideas and spitball stuff it's not like I'm saying it needs to be a certain way or anything, just throwing ideas out
Too much text
Guys, I'm going to storm the CNPP, on an Invictus run this shit makes you think twice, wish me luck
ye ye ye we've all done that
Remember to be a pussy and spam grenades
80% ballistic resistance, maxed, literally can't find any chimeras at all to craft Oasis or Compass, I think it would be enough
ok?
Yessir I have 10 on me
Well I will loot the dead for their grenades then
It's called SURVIVING off the LAND
Well I think I have to say I also have 5 VOG-30 on me and the launcher so it probably counts
For some reason Rogue LOVES going in front of me when aiming, Ukrainian military training isn't what it used to be
Maybe just snuff them out with grenades if avaliable?
Careful, the ai does weird shit near the ladder
Tru
Phasin' through the floor is one of them
Thanks, guys, but I DID IT
I DID IT WITHOUT LOSING A LIFE
I just got to talk to Sidorovich and that's it
I'm DONE
Well... Until Afterglow and the Sin quest
Sin quest is gonna really give you nightmares through constant crashes in Limansk
Let's hope I'll just manage
But I actually have an interesting question, to me at least
I know you will, just be careful. Those bastards are really tough to kill
So I didn't nab a Nosorg from CNPP, sadly, even though my scav is like 18 or 19
Although I did get a MK47 Mutant
How good is it, actually?
My RD-939 has been very faithful to me so far
I didn't use it so I'm not the one to talk to, but I did clear Sin questline using only 5,45 once. If you can aim for the head it is usually a double tap with Hollow points. For the castigstors I used the ubgl
So it is manageable
Right, I get it, I just don't know whether to use it instead of my RD or not, you see, 9x39 is good and all
But even with two reliability upgrades it tends to jam at the worst times ever
9x39 pens more than 7.62 I think, even if the damage is less, so I don't think it would make a big difference, no?
Except the GL will have to go, sad
soorry is trannsferingg gamma too a new pc jjjust as easy as moving annomly annd gamma over
!move
I have also used software to create a backup of the 2 folders and "restored" them to the same location on a different PC.
@urban thistle Follow this: #╭📖faq message
It may, but as I said. I don't know. I never used 7,62x39 long term.
9x39 / 7.62x39 have the same AP
but 9x39 weapons have higher base damage
Maybe try it for just your standard run of the mill tasks and let the 9x39 shine in main storyline?
Aaah, right, I see
Yes, I think I will do that, thanks, I just finished repairing it
Good Luck 🫡
Appreciate it, I never got this far in my Invictus run, so I'm very hopeful this will finally be it!
mfw we have a new mags mod to enable in gamma and this shit still isn't fixed @celest sparrow
granted I play on 1440p like a chad but sill

you dont play with the hud icons for mags smh
I like the hud icons kys
@celest sparrow 
oh jesus discord does not like hdr screenshots
holy baked contrast

I LIKE HDR OKAY
gamma looks shit without it
bro nobody reading allat
thompson ew
1911 ew
ok?

made it to garbage
Bought meself the cooking kit , some sharpening stones and 1 better knife from butcher
@celest sparrow

Always get myself that with Butcher, cooking kit is so nice early on
it is
Grab the medkit from agroprom underground
Med tools i mean
Its in the centre of the giant room with bridges and chemical anomalies
Drug making kit saves me a lot of money early on, i tend to inject adrenaline and never sleep
ain't my first time mate
@celest sparrow

biggest piece of shit stashe in the whole game
off to rostok we go
Its a recent addition to be a fixed spawn there thats all
My poor eyes
Yes yesI know
grok needs to tinker with the HDR mod or whatever
the base HDR settings are fucking baked as HELL
theres too much contrast
HDR is bright and contrasty with the whites and blacks and colors
but not that much mate
we have arrived at rostok
@celest sparrow
classic petrenko
Stalker Light mode
Idk man, my game doesn't look like that 
also screenshots get bugged when using hdr
by default it doesn't look that baked compared to the screenshots
#╟📸screenshots message nah, just use reshade png, discord supports proper conversion from HDR -> SDR
reshade png?
elaborate
reshade screenshots saved in png format will allow proper HDR screenshots in discord that also converts the metadata properly for SDR users so it doesn't look like complete ass
riight
you can check via moving your discord window from a HDR display to a non hdr display
I dont have 2 monitors mate
I cant complete the snork hand quest for hip? I have enough but right as i go talk to her i can only say bye
how many hands you got
22 🙏🙏
skill issue
holy saturation
check your pda
but it should
i remember i managed to fix that once but it broke on its own after some time
idk how
no changes were made to the actor damage balancer in that time
and it just stopped working one day
but yeah it should count
just don't use the seraphim
invest into getting good
sometimes yes sometimes no
its gamble
What would you rather fight close range, 15 sin or 15 unisg
15 Sin
If I have enough ammo
15 UNISG if my ammo has high AP
Tho both options are bad
21 years sin and forget
How can i rotate hanging lights? They are facing the wrong way (bulb up and chain down)
Sin
UNISG is scary, Sin isn't
My name probably tells everything
those that block bullets vs those who one shots you from 50 miles away
Bro hasnt met the aimbot pkp guys yet lmao
id say the third option of tossing a F1 grenade right next to my feet i dont wanna deal with either the UN or the cooler lunatics
Personal dilemma: Kar98 in 7.62x51 or Mosin.
Thoughts?
whats yalls favorite mod not included inside the gamma pack?
whats the upgrades on them? id go with whatever one has less sway and faster rerack
Probably a mix of Juan's gun mods. Juan made the C96, MP-40, STG-44. While not all of them have the greatest animations they are a must for any WWII-gun-only challenge which I have done several times.
Yes
i have some dialog mods, rotten life, terrain textures.. but no actual content mods so that sounds pretty cool..
Same across the board except the Kar has a lightly faster ROF but has a much slower reload. The Mosin reloads the whole magazine in like 5 seconds the Kar has an interruptable reload like a shotgun but takes about 10 seconds total.
They made me use my Seraphim, and then Killed my team anyways while I went back for blood with an unscoped SVD laoded with AP (Because my AS Val fell out of my hands due to Seraphim)
Gunslinger reanimations (PDA, Grenades)
whichever one you like more mate
The Mosin has the benefit of having 3 different ammo types as well. GP rounds to use early game, preem ammo for more accuracy and slightly better pen, then full on AP.
The Kar only gets 7.92 which is cheap but with the conversion kit you get 7.62x51 which is more expensive but almost on par with 54R.
wait is that the same patchy?
Thats the problem. I like them both but only wanna focus on one lol.
Also probably yes
your faction?
Personally I'd go with Mosin in that scenario. (WP weapon so ease of getting ammo)
Loner
Kar has a conversion kit?
mosin in that case
Ye, you can rechamber it to 7.62x51 but if you get the Forester upgrade iirc you can't change the caliber
Mosin can use AP? That's new to me.
Ooooh
Pretty sure it could take AP at one point
idk if that's still the case. I jsut updated after a while.
It never was before. Mosin was capped to 7N1 and 7N14
Man I love spam buying energy drinks
Hrm
Eh it's just Sin, can't take them serious
Just go with the mosin patchy
Ye thinking that. I'ma debug them in with a bunch of ammo and do a little test first.
Probably Mosin tho
where can I access this reshade png from
are you a combat sniper or long range? i would not use the 10 second reload if you like pulling that bad boy out AFTER the fighting has started
A bit of both. I usually fire until I'm out of ammo on the sniper and then switch to secondary. Which is either a shotgun or PDW usually.
did gamma save screenshots you make with f12?
When I get stuff like the SVD I normally only carry 1 extra loaded mag
Anyway back to testing
eyyyy nice SKS
won't use it
I was thinking of making that my sniffer ripple instead but wanted to keep with the battle rifle cartridges
had to reload the save 
lowkey fuck yacs
in some instances the dreadful ost of gamma reminds me of the half life 2 ost
Also after some testing, the reload between the Mosin and the Kar is actually nearly identical with the Kar being slightly faster. Just about 8 seconds from the R tap to being able to ADS. It seems like the Kar takes longer but it doesn't.
Also the Kar ADS quicker, resets after firing quicker, and the reload itself can be interrupted allowing you to snapshot if needed. The one detriment imo is that its ammo before the caliber upgrade is sub-par for pen and the ammo after caliber upgrade is relatively scarce from vendors. The Kar in my opinion is superior for early-mid game since even Sid carries 7.92.
I'ma stick with the Kar
irl sure but I didn't know that was known in the game too lol
Anywho now I'ma put these upgrades I saved up on my Kar and continue my rampage through the Swamps
Oh and the damage value for 7.92 is 69
yo any mods y'all reccomend for fun
So there's that
like billy herrington hip replacement
I prefer furry dommy mommy hip replacement personally
overcompensation tbh
Juanchito's C96/MP-40. Excellent early game guns.
i turned off npc loot claim and also installed tagged patches
Excuse me what did I just come back to
so i can loot dead bodies and find out how they died lmao
is there like a mod thread list

Link? 
danke
also anyone else turn off npc loot claim? its annoying anyway when i mostly kill a master stalker but NOOOO someone else shot him and the loot isnt mine
just shoot them before they do mate
I turn it off as well usually
trye
also just found out my computer was using fucking intergrated graphics with my fucking STALKER???
i switched and now everything loading superspeed thats good
HOLY GUCK I WAS THINKING WHY IS THIS SHIT SLOW

Is there some kind of companion/squad command wheel or am I remembering wrong
C
Foind it ty
mf i had 3 master stalkers for a guide quest
all died and i didnt
on the plus side, free loot
Are you one of those that plugged the monitor into the onboard card instead of the graphics card? 🤡
I thought more stuff would be changed from 0.9.3 to .4 but I was mistaken
The tutorials are interesting
I still don't know how the fk I'm supposed to make non baked screenshots because of the HDR @celest sparrow
someone said reshade png but wtf is reshade png
Do I need to enable the old reshade menu or what
OPA LURKER HIDE
we win
They got psyops in gamma now
no
just a failsafe
so you dont do a task that doesnt work
yep, there is nothing of value in those numbers, ignore them
"Kill Strelok"
I feel like the svd shoild be moved down one tier. It's in the same tier with asval and the other big guns. I know they do different things but svd is an old rifle
No
then it would share the same tier as the sv98
meanie
_ _ 
anon really has becomed an expert at throwing a No at issues
does anybody know if freedom can spawn with the sr25?
i have only ever seen it on mercs
not even ISG
at high ranking ones probably
Been yrs and still no polish gun packs 🙁
We will never see the weapons from any countries this is si sad to think about 😔
Rework the Gun Type framework then 
polish guns? you mean ak clones? 
What about msbs grot
That’s a acr Masada clone
And total abomination in bullpup, yikes
Don’t even look it up pls
Can anyone remind me plz how to get info on the Storylines guides available for the curent version. I know theres a grok post in the manals but its outdated im sure ive seen another one
all modern guns look very generic and nondescript :(


Just got one of my favorite handguns, the PL-15 and uh. Didn't it used to have a neato animation where you took it from a polymer sounding holster? I seem to remember it being different.
So changing factions is broken?
it's not but it *can* break story quests
so it's not recommended
What if i complete the main story first? Am i good then?
probably?
who is the number 1 hater btw
Out of wha
I forgot already, been like 2 years since i changed my name
Oh im dumb
Oh and if i have goodwill at max with one faction that is friends with the one i was originally in am i like 'safe' from them shooting me
Found an AK-74 with the highest durability parts I have ever seen so far.
no idea
weapon condition 
How old is bros version 😭🙏
0.9.1
based username btw, Sin is cringe 
Sin is ass 🙏
💯
FUCK Sin 🗣️
Hate dumping a mag into one guy because they have some miracrilous protection
Magic Zombie Bullshit
Loner forever 🗣️
Imho loners might be the best faction because they have alot of allies aswell as enemies, can traverse through the zone but still get into firefights which i love
If i had to choose a faction that is hard i would pick unisg first
Either that or Renegades
I don't mind Sin shields, I think it's an interesting mechanic. I just despise their heavy presence in Red Forest and their lore is cringe
mostly fanfic iirc
In my experiences, Monolith suprisingly has more presence than Sin in Red Forest in my playthroughs, though they are still there.
Whenever i go to red forest from jupiter i get molested by 15 sin
I mined the shit out of Red Forest in early game. Those little butterfly mines are surprisingly decent.
Btw should i update gamma now? Updated last time before the new ui
What's hidden there bruh 🙏 i only go to red forest when i have quests there, otherwise i am fast travelling straight from aw to jupiter
Same honestly, I only either passed through prior to the Brain Scorcher, or went Chimera Hunting.
in my experience, it's mostly Sin because they just wreck most other factions there lol
I wanna get hip as a companion because aint she like invincible due to being a important character, just cant complete the snork hand quest for some reason
I wouldn't know, I take the role as a "Loner" quite literally. I never use companions unless theyre task related 
I want to try to get Hip as well now that Loners are friendly with Mercs, but I don't remember where I need to go to find the Bizon.
Oh yeah they get friendly unless you dont have bad goodwill
shouldnt be bison anymore, just any repaired toz-34 i think
Yeah
I'm on an earlier version, so I'm not sure if that will work
But like i have 20 snork hands and cant complete the thing, she just says hi and i can day bye
Say*
Should be way over enough
Wasnt it like 8?
Btw all shits and giggles until fortunate son starts playing on spotify and i forgot i turned on the helicopters
wheres the swtich for BS? i think theres a pin with a photo but i cant find it
Is monolith always spawned in BS before you turn it off?
Because they’re supposed to spawn in after you turn it off
not in gamma?
It was changed in some gamma update iirc
Yea im gonna have to revert that lol
Its somewhat easier in my opinnion which i like
Im not sure how because now you’re on a time crunch to kill every monolith
okay i was wondering why, im doing bs again literally rn and its not like i remembered, and the "static" spawns of stalkers were non existent.. i was trippin
im gonna have to find the file that changes that
what is the name of the mod that adds character perks?
I take my time yet i have like 2-4 minutes left when i turn bs off
Isn’t the timer 5 minutes
defended lab x10 in mo2 if you prefer it unchanged
Its like 12 or 10 when you turn off miracle machine before bs
Ah I skip MM usually
