[wary aspen]

also i think my operation afterglow might be fucked cuz i gave the documents to degtyarev and then no other quests popped up

[near estuary]

meet him in yanov

I think

you're supposed to wait a couple days iirc

[wary aspen]

i'm talking about the documents after yanov

[near estuary]

yeah then idk

[wary aspen]

oh ok mb i just checked the guide i know where to go now

[dusk vessel]

p sure if you try to talk to it your game crashes

intentionally so

[fair silo]

"I wish this modpack was actually good"

amirite chat

[sour dagger]

Is anyone able to tell me how to complete the "dead night" quest? I've been in the designated place all night and IG it doesn't work or something :/

[proven raptor]

so true

[lethal steeple]

this but unironically

i wish someone backed up an early rc2 copy of the modpack

[dawn dock]

Welp back to GAMMA, time to re-install everything + my own add-ons again

[frank oxide]

“RC2 was peak”

RC2:

[frail needle]

Wait did GROK just change the Anomaly launcher to the new modded one?

or am i trippin

[frank oxide]

what

[fading plinth]

looks way more like anomaly lmao

right leg damaged!

https://tenor.com/view/fling-fling-cat-flung-gif-23889817

[lethal steeple]

but this is still a thing

[frail needle]

is this right? i had it installed in the day but replaced it with OG anomaly launcher and then reinstalled gamma again after he pushed the hotfix, and now the launcher was this

[frank oxide]

That’s… not ours

???

[fading plinth]

wtf is that

[lethal steeple]

that has to be one of the ugliest launchers i've ever seen

[fading plinth]

did you pay for gamma

[lethal steeple]

what the fuck were they thinking with the huge faded borders

[frank oxide]

Not that crazy
But i also didn’t play RC2 so

[celest sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/liar-why-the-fuck-you-lyin-dancing-why-the-fuck-why-are-you-lying-gif-7431053

[frank oxide]

There was nothing done to the anomaly launcher by grok

That’s a you thing you did there

[frail needle]

yeah lol i fixed it, it was my bad i forgot to rename the launcher exe... this launcher is only for the CPU affinity thing

[frank oxide]

why even use custom launchers for cpu affinity

[novel junco]

convenience

[frank oxide]

Ehhh

[frail needle]

I saw it on a Venoxium vid, the launcher is not much help tbh

[fading plinth]

theres a script inside of fps optimisation iirc

that you can use directly from mo2

[frank oxide]

one and done issue of setting affinity on executables in mo2

Slaps a custom exe that might do who the fuck knows what

[novel junco]

it has to be enabled every time you launch the game, though

[frank oxide]

especially concerning when you had like 3 custom launchers drop in on moddb out of nowhere

And ofc some even posted here

[frail needle]

how do i set it permanently?

[frank oxide]

Nuh-uh

I don’t mean the plugin stuff or task manager

[frank oxide]

!core0

[dawn marten]

@frail needle How to disable Core 0: #╭📖faq message

[novel junco]

aint reading all that

[fading plinth]

mfs see 7 steps and clock out

[frank oxide]

There’s technically two methods

One is editing exes in mo2 to do affinity for you
Or using a script from mods posting that does it with a bat file

Mo2 one is the best and tbh quickest way especially since you can just make a copy of existing executables and easily go back to the regular setup

[small ermine]

theres no subway surfers midway
so they lose the attention span

[frank oxide]

Anything else is just additional work often for no real benefit

(i should totally get to updating fps-optimisation to remove bullshit from there)

[fading plinth]

ask for pay to do it

no one else is gonna

[frank oxide]

Money?
From muh gamma discord?

[fading plinth]

mmmmmmmunneh

[frail needle]

how do i use the damn hotfix ?!

[frank oxide]

You run an update

Thats it

[frail needle]

nothing to do from my end?

[fading plinth]

you click on the gamma launcher and update

thats your end

[frank oxide]

Unless someone told you otherwise - no

that’s why you consult helpers in support channels

[oblique reef]

Is the DICK update available?

[frank oxide]

Dick fixing update released fr fr

[frail needle]

[uncut delta]

how stable has gamma been lately i havent played in a very long time and they seem to have doubled the mod count since

[tawdry flare]

i too got back after a while, outside the problem im getting now the game has been runing better then before overall

at least for my potato pc with potato configs

[uncut delta]

if its not 900 terabytes i might try to download it again but the mod count seems to keep ballooning it was time for a little cleaning when it hit 400 mods but ig its just easier to add more mods than fixing the ones that are there now

sucks bc i like what gamma is trying to do but its just such a mess of hundreds of mod that its getting hard for normal pc's to run it on anything higher than low settings

[tawdry flare]

honestly, most of the performance is done by screen space shaders and other shaders

[fair silo]

damn, kinda sad to put away the bizon right after I managed to get it to 7.6 tok but

this aksu's some good shit

[tawdry flare]

outside of that, I have managed to play in DX11 with these specs with somewhat stable performance:
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 710 2GB (no fan)
CPU: Intel pentium gold G 5400
RAM: 8gb GDDR4 (slow af)

[narrow eagle]

Ngl the 8 gigs of ram AND being DDR4 is like the most out of place for that system XD As in, too modern lmao

[tawdry flare]

maybe xD

[timber nimbus]

have anyone encountered stash icon bug that points to workbench furniture?
even after picking up all the stuff inside (in my most recent case just weapon parts) icon didnt disappear, reloading safe before/after doesnt fix it either
any way to get rid of it?

[narrow eagle]

tfw you install an update and then accidentally press update again

[tawdry flare]

yeah, that happened to me with the workbench furniture a lot

the icon disappears when u pick up the workbench

so I guess it's just tied to it

[fair silo]

I've had that happen with the placeable blue stash box, and for a time every time I loaded a game, I'd leave a stash icon wherever I was when the game loaded

and then it stopped doing it 🤷‍♂️

[timber nimbus]

thats what i get after picking up entire workbench with all stuff and changing location
every time
and shit shit follows
it annoys me like nothing else does

[uncut delta]

26 gigs for a installer is bullshit wtf is this garbage

[graceful fulcrum]

Borderlands 3

[tawdry flare]

Activision who tf knows u(?

okno

[uncut delta]

forget installing gamma its gonna take all month to unpack the installer

[tawdry flare]

well, modpack itself is over 100 gigs so... good luck

it's fun tho, if u have the patience I reccomend it anyways (I had to install it for 2 whole days almost)

[uncut delta]

its not even the modpack its a fucking glorified launcher

it should be like a gig tops

[graceful fulcrum]

Yeah, Cripto miner bro

[tawdry flare]

yeah, tho other games might have an easier time with less weight on the launcher cuz it has to check different apis on ModDB, github and each part is handled by different modders who not necessarily works together all the time is kinda weird

[heavy cradle]

the small fix in announcements we update gamma now yee?

[small ermine]

The installer package has some mods as well in it its not all just the Installer

[uncut delta]

it was like 2 gigs a year ago idk where 24 more gig came from when they only added like 200 mods

[tawdry flare]

uh, I got into this modpack when it had like 440 mods or so and it was still 22gigs or so at that time

[graceful fulcrum]

Bro never downloaded a Skyrim graphics mod

[tawdry flare]

but yeah it'll be going up in weight as more mods from different modders gets added

mostly cuz apis and whatnot

[uncut delta]

dont own or play skyrim so no

[narrow eagle]

Regardless of how big the launcher is or not, you should expect the whole package to be at least over 100gb anyway so

[small ermine]

It was still 60gb back then

[narrow eagle]

idk why you're crashing out over it so hard

[graceful fulcrum]

For me he is rage baiting, so I say that Grok wants to know how many times we gooning every week

[sick yoke]

Since when was the launcher 26 gb?

Inb4 he actually means anomaly

[uncut delta]

its annoying i just waited 30 mins for the massive zip file to download and now i gotta wait 6 hours for it to unpack its a pain it the ass

[narrow eagle]

Ngl, if it takes you longer to unpack than to download, that's a you issue at that point

[tawdry flare]

well, somehow, i can continue a game i started in a messed up "updated" gamma 9.4 with the 6.6 launcher (cuz im braindead) with the changes from the 6.7 launcher

[narrow eagle]

And like I said, you'll be having over 100 gigs here regardless, so have fun sitting there for however long your internet takes to download everything lmao

[celest sparrow]

yeah and GAMMA isn't the only modpack that does that

This was Anthology

[uncut delta]

bro i cant change how fast 7zip moves its on max priority in task manager im giving it all the recourses i can and its moving slower than a dead senile snail

[tawdry flare]

ouch

[celest sparrow]

That shit took like an hour to decompress

[graceful fulcrum]

No, it's because Grok wants your PC to mine cripto

[sick yoke]

Go outside and touch grass while you wait I guess idk

[tawdry flare]

lol

[celest sparrow]

the importance of having a hobby

[uncut delta]

cant its nighttime

[tawdry flare]

I just leave it unpacking while I went to sleep last time

[sick yoke]

Then sleep I guess

[fading plinth]

look at the stars

the majesty of the universe displays itself to you and you complain about the void between

[uncut delta]

lol i can see like 4 stars and a 747 buzzing my house welcome to living near a city

[fading plinth]

in that case i usually like to drink and drive

[celest sparrow]

you could uhh

stroke it a lil

[fading plinth]

anon what is wrong

[narrow eagle]

I mean that why I suggested to get bitches tho

[uncut delta]

bars close at 7pm its 8pm except for the local nazi bar for some reason thats open 24/7

[fading plinth]

did you finally shatter

[narrow eagle]

To let someone else do it

[celest sparrow]

[narrow eagle]

Or become the bitch to be got yourself! Worked for me, apparently

Gotten married, even

[celest sparrow]

the 24/7 nazi bar holy shit

[fading plinth]

is there a gas station near you

[uncut delta]

barred for life after i took a nap behind the dumpster

that was bs i was eepy and i ran out of gas

[celest sparrow]

🥀

[graceful fulcrum]

I like how every recommendation keeps getting worse

[narrow eagle]

Well at least you do one thing that seems normal for a stalker player

[uncut delta]

fucker wouldnt reopen the pumps so i could get home

[fading plinth]

theres a gas station near you and you ran out of gas so instead of walking home or sleeping in the car you saw the dumpster and went 'yeah sorted'

[narrow eagle]

I mean mine wasn't so bad, was it? xD

[small ermine]

enable health bars

[uncut delta]

dont own a car i drive a motorcycle plus i would have had to push my bike 3 hours home get gas then go to work 20 mins later

so i just pushed my bike behind the dumpster and rolled up in a tarp

they had some cardboard boxes there that made a decent nap spot till they reopened

[fading plinth]

this is the strangest this chat has ever gotten i think

i think we should talk about gamma again

dick update yay

[tawdry flare]

honestly, if it's going to take a while and u are going to not sleep (or is not the time where u live) try to catch up with some series that u can watch on ur phone

[uncut delta]

nah im just gonna mod anomaly myself plus the pack wont be 150gbs if i do it

[heavy cradle]

what happen to March Scope?

[tawdry flare]

good luck then

[heavy cradle]

what happen to circle? that was in the middle and now whole think is red instead just middle part

and i mean this one

[tawdry flare]

is that an integrated scope? if so, did u made an upgrade to the gun with the sight?

oh

no idea

[heavy cradle]

i mean there was a small fix in the announcement so i did update and now this scope looks weird

[carmine cypress]

panceride updated grass?

[north flume]

I wish there was a way to remove Ashot's voicelines lmao. bro is so loud in my ear when I'm trading with him

[oblique reef]

Looks like a mark switch color change

[random moth]

Ah. I hope yall enjoy the pic I made of the Ecologist gal

[compact tulip]

Do you guys know if there's a trader table spreadsheet showing what is unlocked at goodwill ranks?

[narrow eagle]

Was that the guy in Jupiter? xD

[thin orchid]

there's some stuff in the #╟🔰☢newbies-chat pins for ammo and weapon attachments/kits but otherwise i don't think so

[narrow eagle]

Who just always is loud af

[north flume]

Indeed, the trader guy that sounds enthusiastic about everything

[narrow eagle]

I love that guy lmao

He's living life

[north flume]

great personality I just want him to be high on life...quieter

[compact tulip]

I just looked through there and there are some helpful charts but none for ecologist trader. do you happen to know how muchg goodwill you need for level 2 artifact crafting book?

[thin orchid]

sakharov?

[compact tulip]

yeah

[thin orchid]

he doesn't sell it, you need to go to jupiter

[compact tulip]

oh crud :c

i got a level 3 book off a merc so im just missing level 2 lol

[thin orchid]

it's the ecos in the mobile lab that sell it btw

[compact tulip]

okay, thank you 🙂

[manic latch]

oh my fucking god the discord ping sound when you lose sanity from a scar

are you serious

[neon jacinth]

[neon jacinth]

I don't think so but usually all the mid game stuff is locked at level 4

If you're looking for kits just go to nimble in the skadovsk

[oblique reef]

Check newbie chat pins?

[viral quiver]

Boys, in the past few days my companions somehow just went from the ultimate killing machines, to idiots who won't react to enemies 2 meters from them

They legit just stood still when mercs smoked their butt

Is there any way to fix this?

[near estuary]

maybe you accidentally set them to passive

[viral quiver]

Nah sadly, i've set them up to attack mode

[opal phoenix]

fuckin dl speed is still fucked up

man

[last mesa]

That happens. Sometimes during rain, nighttime or fog ingame the NPCs barely react to anything, and if the mercs sneaked up on them? Too bad. Gotta keep your head in the game and their backs covered. Either with enough metal to stop the bullets from affecting them (DNPCAV- give em exos)

Or just killing what you can see, but they cannot

Tho I have mine in Skat-9s and exosuits (without servos) and they're mostly fine

Not as good as with actual exos or nosorogs, but to hell with hearing the sound of servos every single second of their miserable life considering I personally am a sneaky bastard relying on double taps with the SVD or a quick volley from an AS Val

I prefer to hear a chimera before I spot it, rather than have to just rely on my vision.

[opal phoenix]

so i saw that medium armor got a rebalance

so whats the play nowadays?

[rich folio]

Anyone know if it's possible to add songs to the in-game playlists

[latent elbow]

!music

[dawn marten]

@rich folio Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[opal phoenix]

holy we are le done

[cunning patio]

yes its possible to add even to take the existing songs that are on the radio or playlist and play them with vlc or winamp or whatever app you like

[loud fractal]

medkit or stimpack, which do u prefer?

[proven raptor]

grok will unironically add a single (1) percent to a single (1) resisance value and call it "rebalance"

[old frigate]

good loner vendors south of barrier? am i stuck with sid and the assholes at flea market

need ammos and jazz

[dusk vessel]

thats not what he meant

its that you cant get heavy armours before bs anymore next update or this one

[cunning patio]

early game: medkit
mid to late game : stimpaks

[proven raptor]

you can doe

you can craft the heavy kit out of advanced tools

[dusk vessel]

im aware

but he wants to change this

that you can do it post brainscorcher only

[proven raptor]

waow

[dusk vessel]

since right now, you use medium armours almost not at all

unless its lategame ssp99 or sm

but really you get light armour, and then move on to heavy pretty fast since its so easy to repair

[proven raptor]

all medium suits are ugly af anyways so who cares

[latent elbow]

Medikit (red) lower thirst/sleep/food deprivation

[latent elbow]

Best suit is no suit oc

[dusk vessel]

kinda true

i skip them usually

like, using light until i get heavy

[opal phoenix]

[summer condor]

feel like medium is worth if you find a wastelander or merc seva

[opal phoenix]

cant do duty vendors?

so whats good now

[summer condor]

those 2 are basically dollar store hybrid armor

[frosty osprey]

Is there a fix yet for the weird symbols instead of parts names when maintaining a weapon?

[cunning patio]

@latent elbow hop on the stream mang

[last mesa]

Just work for Petrenko/Skinflint a little for ammo if needed, but preferably look for a gunsmithing toolkit

[last mesa]

That is straight up shit.

[cunning patio]

whats the topic?

[last mesa]

SSP-99 Diamond + 5 electrons + NPCs standing guard while I zap myself to recharge exo batteries because I'm a scoundrel that prefers to steals them off bandits in Zaton rather than to buy new ones

[last mesa]

Counterpoint- SEVA suit

[celest sparrow]

It's not even confirmed

[dusk vessel]

i know

but i hope it gets added

[celest sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/bro-just-typing-shit-bro-just-typing-shit-gif-18336060238854257551

This but Grok

[dusk vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/pozitiv-gif-14253947505283509778

[celest sparrow]

It's always best to just wait

Like that time when he wrote he'd lock Heavy Armor behind a Recipe Drop only obtainable from Stashes or Duty / Military corpses

[opal phoenix]

oh that didnt go through?

[dusk vessel]

but thats endgame stuff

or lategame at least

[celest sparrow]

Nah

[dusk vessel]

thats not how it should be

mabye making the recepie inside x16 or something

[celest sparrow]

Again, shit Grok says

He's bound to say a lot and not end up doing it

[celest sparrow]

It wouldn't change much

The idea for locking Heavy Armor past Brain Scorcher came due to Grok thinking the Armor Rework would make Brain Scorcher easy due to how the changes will affect Heavy Armor

Although it's really only 2 Armor Variants that are ""strong"" due to having high BR Class

Despite not really changing much for the other Armor Variants due to Monolith always using AP regardless of Rank

[dusk vessel]

its fair enough, not every idea will turn out well

i just found that medium armours as a stepping stone are like a fraction of time spent

compared to heavy/light

unless youre using artifact builds

at which point youve already made it north anyway

[celest sparrow]

I mean

The idea of Heavy Armor being locked in the North wouldn't be bad if it wasn't for the Artificial increase of Difficulty when it comes to going against the Monolith

[dusk vessel]

mabye make it spawn on radar or aw

[celest sparrow]

As he fears the use of BR Class would make the game too easy which that isn't the case, when only 1 Armor Variant can withstand the use of Small Rifle Caliber AP rounds

So it ends up being
BR Class for the South
BR Resistance for the North
Which places Heavy Armor in this awkward position of being underpowered due to the lack of Belt Slots compared to Medium Armor which Artifacts heavily compensate for their lesser stats

[dusk vessel]

things like x18 exo or unisg proto exo do get 7 belt slots aswell though

and you can find those in stashes pretty far south

[celest sparrow]

Yeah because they're the best Armor in the game, thanks to Artifacts and not their base stats

[dusk vessel]

i know

and having exo weight

[celest sparrow]

The upcoming Armor Rework would at least make Skat 9 and Exosuits have a use with their increased BR Class stat
Being Armor that offers high protection with minimum investment

Only limited by the belt slots so they can't achieve the protection other Armor can receive wirh Artifacts

[summer condor]

wonder if theres some cool stuff you can do with movement speed

cant get that from artifacts

[celest sparrow]

And there's a possibility of Artifacts / Belt Attachments increasing BR Class as well so it should have a better use

[dusk vessel]

thats nice

i liked using exosuits because they looked cool

but werent really that good

duty forest one has 4 slots

and merc grassland too iirc

but a lot of them are stuck with 2

skat9 is even worse, only upside is no speed penalty

[summer condor]

i havent really looked at the stats is there a point to the skat9 when u can get hybrid armor

[dusk vessel]

no

[summer condor]

😭

[dusk vessel]

its just way more common to find

[celest sparrow]

It's slightly worse than the Exosuit but doesn't have the speed penalty

Do wish they were better

[opal phoenix]

did they fix the incorrect stat bars?

saw some screenshots

[cunning patio]

@celest sparrow alo we stream

[dusk vessel]

a good change

most casual players will never go through the effort of crafting a compass

[cunning patio]

man I love it when rain has no sound effect

so stupid

[last mesa]

Yeah fair xD

I wonder if it would be possible to make an artefact to increase movement speed

[dusk vessel]

isnt there?

if you eat rat meat raw on one artifact it gives speed

[cunning patio]

YES

yes*

[cosmic atlas]

there are folks who've finished the games multiple times and never made an optimized arti belt setup, just whatever they find are cool

[celest sparrow]

yeah because they are experienced with the game

[cunning patio]

if you know how to traverse anomalous fields you dont need artefacts for that only a decent sp99
and for stalker fights just a compass or full empty and you're golden

[opal phoenix]

what were patches used for again

grok didnt bring back lottery did he

[celest sparrow]

tasks for artifacts or the 20 patch lottery

[opal phoenix]

oh lotterys back

is korth still the best .45 pistol

the perfectly average 6 inch one

[last mesa]

Yeah. I use my artifacts. I don't just collect them to gather dust xD

[opal phoenix]

i used to have a dedicated storage for my arti collection

[last mesa]

Heh. What's your "highscore"?

[opal phoenix]

i dont remember honestly

i stored arti melter+arti boxes in there too so idr weight

[cosmic atlas]

once had a arti collection so massive it caused my fps to drop to single digits in Garbage of all places

made a little cubby out of the Flea Market's basement

[opal phoenix]

saiga 12 tactical with an 80% barrel on a military dude

day 1

poggies

[cunning patio]

if garbage had a mechanic and medic it would be easily one of the most goated locations in game

[opal phoenix]

[cosmic atlas]

got there in like 15 minutes, green barrel AR off of mercs getting stomped out by fleshes for no reason

[opal phoenix]

man im so much worse now

is it me or garbage a bit more chaotic

ayo

what did they do to mutant arena

how do i print cash now

[near estuary]

it is goated anyway
duty's medic is right next door

[cunning patio]

ye ye true

[cosmic atlas]

also Stalker modding community when they experience random crashes: "lol happens, just start the game again"

[radiant dawn]

STALKER: Enhanced Edition devs used some fixes from modders recently

It's at the same time W and L for devs

[radiant dawn]

ama gonna go nuts if grok reacts to it

[fair silo]

• Buys XPS3 on a whim 'cause it looks so cool
• No owned weapons are compatible with it
  

[celest sparrow]

[celest sparrow]

Draco ISG, RD-74N, RD-47, Howa Type 20
only 4 weapons seem compatible with it

ATHI is probably going to add it to more weapons as he keeps updating 3DSS

[cosmic atlas]

thermalvision got me on a chokehold bros, I think I spend more time using it than not

new game's gonna be a bitch after this lmao

[fair silo]

at least it wasn't ultra expensive

[celest sparrow]

F7 > 1

[cosmic atlas]

new game always trips me up man, so used to tanking damage at the very least

like three hits and I'm gone lmao

[fair silo]

imma be real, I've always thought canted aiming was a bit of a dumbass gimmick

but after using the aksu with a red dot, I like it more than auxiliary sights

[cosmic atlas]

I love when they make it so the canted aiming goes super low

so you have damn near clear sight of what's in front of you, perfect in tight ass corridors

[fair silo]

like I've been fast tracking this aug so I could fit the specter sight on it, but in the meantime I've been trying out just that normal 2.6 scope on the aksu and honestly, the canted aiming works very nicely

[cunning patio]

@celest sparrow is the vector still in the game?

[celest sparrow]

yeah, just rare

[cunning patio]

right

[cosmic atlas]

been using the mjolnir with the thermal and it's perfect, 1-8(if I remember correctly) in white hot and nice looking canted aim

[waxen plinth]

is it better than tommygun though?

[fair silo]

where thompson magpul kit

[rapid citrus]

ironman is making me seriously rethink my early game

imagine being concerned by radiation

[celest sparrow]

just walk it off

[rapid citrus]

rads will fall off with my skin

mostly complicates my early rush strats

or I just need to git gud

[cunning patio]

ironman lowkey ez

a run just takes longer

[rapid citrus]

just play slower and safer

[celest sparrow]

learning static and possible dynamic rad spots helps

[rapid citrus]

but I like rushing in without thinking

[cunning patio]

true true also as soon as you see the static screen just stop and go back

ez as that

[celest sparrow]

I find it funny people who fall for the Cordon bridge rad spot

[cunning patio]

lowkey after upgrading your armor maybe once twice in most cases rads stop being a problem

[waxen plinth]

people who fall for Cordon bridge ||burner|| is funnier

[cunning patio]

https://open.spotify.com/track/40wIBKTng6rwglc6Z3X8yx?si=d49acd66bd314b72 @celest sparrow

[cosmic atlas]

I love going back to Cordon with my endgame gear to flex on those peons

[celest sparrow]

That was so fucking loud

[cosmic atlas]

also because I forgot to start Strelok quest

[celest sparrow]

Thanks Discord

[rapid citrus]

stalkers walking past your hideout with endgame equipment and armor

[cunning patio]

i recommend giving the song a listen

its really good

[celest sparrow]

I havent touched Spotify in years

Youtube Music is my go to

[cunning patio]

its on there as well

[cunning patio]

someone needs to make the willaim defoe meme where he shows his drip but stalker

[celest sparrow]

[cunning patio]

thoughts?

[celest sparrow]

I vibe with it

[scarlet orbit]

Is this part of the game or a genuine error..!?

[small ermine]

Easter egg

[waxen plinth]

it's here to prevent you from taking certain tasks that are not friends with taskboard and will instafail when taken like that. There is completely nothing of importance hidden in this hexadecimal code

[small ermine]

It does say kill strelok

[cunning patio]

!error

fuck

there was a command for it

its harmless

or is it?

dw it is :D

[mental furnace]

!pdaerror

[dawn marten]

@cunning patio

Just ignore it.

Critical Error on top of certain tasks was done on purpose to prevent autofailing once accepted through the PDA Taskboard.
It can also appear on tasks that require you to go into maps you can't access yet.

HEX code is just an easter egg, something similar to the "Kill Strelok" PDA.

[cunning patio]

yeah that one

ty droon

[mental furnace]

u welcome bro🥰

[edgy crypt]

Hey gang, been a hot minute since I’ve played, thinking of redownloading and playing again. Have there been any particularly noteworthy updates in the last year or so?

[cunning patio]

#📢announcements

have a read

[edgy crypt]

Scrolling through a years worth of announcements sounds particularly time consuming, was just wondering if there’s been any big changes in the last year that people might care to mention

[fair silo]

every npc being turned into a catgirl was pretty contentious but we've gotten over it as a community

[edgy crypt]

Shooting cat girls with a 50bmg does sound fun though

[cunning patio]

"big changes" is subjective

[fair silo]

it's not how big is the change, it's how you use it

[edgy crypt]

Perfect, I’m all ears as to what people think

[cunning patio]

I wouldn't go that route

people in here have different opinions when it comes to the smallest things
red and form and opinion for yourself

I'd say its worth trying out the new stuff

[edgy crypt]

Yeah I mean truth be told I’m going to give it a go regardless, was just curious is all

[cunning patio]

just give it a go on an easier difficulty for ease of access

and form an opinion

[edgy crypt]

Yessir 🫡

[cunning patio]

aaaah I'm turning on reshade

screenshots look soo ass with hdr10

everythign gets double overexposed holy crap

[topaz spire]

Coming back to Gamma after a bit of a break, is there a faction aside from Loners that's a fun reintroduction to the mod?

[fair silo]

you could pick cringe sky

[errant island]

i woouldnt say big changes but all the QOL and cleanup i personally like. finally started my first 9.4 play

[cunning patio]

Gun head please

[celest sparrow]

The thought someone took their time to download the assets, setup the composition, adjust the lighting, and render this out

[opal phoenix]

where are freedomers when you need em

[cunning patio]

because I'm lowkey tired of it
every fucking screenshot looks like ass

[opal phoenix]

[cunning patio]

bland and zero colors

[near estuary]

I know what kind of man you are

[opal phoenix]

man why did grok shut down fuckin animal zoo in rostok

[celest sparrow]

buggy door go brr

[opal phoenix]

it wasnt that bad was it

[celest sparrow]

The loss of 20k~ ru is truly detrimental

[celest sparrow]

It just happened at times

Also reports of it decreasing perfomance

[opal phoenix]

never underestimate day one 20k

rip

[near estuary]

we talking about the arena where you got paid to fire a single round at a mutant?

[opal phoenix]

ye

[celest sparrow]

yeah

[near estuary]

[opal phoenix]

it was super easy though

[near estuary]

yeah no shit

[opal phoenix]

i want it back

[celest sparrow]

It took like 5days for 20k

[opal phoenix]

wdym 5 days

it might take me that much now

[celest sparrow]

It was a mutant fight per day

[opal phoenix]

[near estuary]

cuz you had to wait for each fight

[opal phoenix]

no it wasnt

it let you do a couple

at first

[near estuary]

[celest sparrow]

That's the other arena

[opal phoenix]

did they do something to rads

cant hold f without that funny wheel now wtf

[celest sparrow]

Yeah they reduced the likelihood of coughing

and increased the time between coughs

So you're no longer dying from lung cancer just by having a tiny amount of rads

[opal phoenix]

wild territory here i come

pls be gentle

[celest sparrow]

Woe, massive radiation spot at the sniper nest be upon ye

[opal phoenix]

prayge no big cal guns

im wearing my pajama and the el rona facemask

did they remove the winchester btw

[celest sparrow]

still there

has a scope too

[waxen plinth]

yep. Though this funny wheel is useful if you use multiple scopes

[cunning patio]

ok but can we make it so that knives don't fucking deteriorate after 10 uses down to 30% this shit is honestly so cringe
knives don't just fucking break after cutting 3 steaks and 2 cucumbers mate
that shit has been bugging me for so long

[opal phoenix]

man that thing where you can see interactable stuff with white dot is so useful

i wouldnt have spent nearly as much time looking for stashes

[summer condor]

i think the only one thats like this is the hunting knife

i almost never have to sharpen the max knife

and i never played with other knives really

[cosmic atlas]

I have no idea what brings down durability, been using my kukri and its inconsistent. I can go through Radar stabbing everything that moves and its 100%, I stab 4 zombies and its down to 60%

[cunning patio]

I meant skinning not physically melee-ing shit

@celest sparrow

[minor notch]

Accepted a mission to do a night hunt in rostok, got the entire garrison with me

[mild wing]

damn they really want that pack of dogs gone

[minor notch]

was a Chimera, didn't even know they spawn there.

2 rows of companions lmao

[cunning patio]

[summer condor]

i had a psudeo spawn there my first time thru on this savefile

[minor notch]

Kinda tempted to drag them to army warehouse and complete the quest

[summer condor]

drag them to bs

half of the entire duty faction gonna turn off bs and its gonna be glorious

[minor notch]

I'm still using a shitty gas mask so will die from radiation even going near that sadly

surge and volat all you need

[minor notch]

starting to think gavrilenko might not be killable by npcs

[waxen plinth]

they guy at the Bar entrance? I saw him flatlined after meeting a pseudogiant

FLATlined

[cunning patio]

this one looks nice

[opal phoenix]

so uh

that loot claim thingie resets when you reload a save right

why did it let me loot claimed bodies by spamming f/holding it,walking up to the corpse and then releasing

[waxen plinth]

sounds like loot claim works when you PRESS the button and interrupt further processing, but actual looting happends when you RELEASE the button (can be animations addon related). Congratulations, you broke the system

[rapid citrus]

just me or are there less muties in the swamp

[opal phoenix]

this requires further testing

[rapid citrus]

I distinctly remember being regularly harassed by dogs every 10 feet

[opal phoenix]

bro 9gig space just went poof

wtf

[fair silo]

there should be a mod that hid the reticle when using a laser

[opal phoenix]

holy shit it actually does work

mfw

what the fuck are lurkers doing in garbage holy fuck

jumped on my seat and almost pissed on the screen

wtf

[north flume]

drop them settings and mods PLEASE. that looks fantastic

[fair silo]

if I had a nickel for every time I've done that

classic gamma moment

(but yes I've seen lurkers and snorks in cordon actually)

first mission I got in gamma was clearing 3 snorks in cordon

[opal phoenix]

snorks yeah

lurkers never

[waxen plinth]

they lurk

also mutant spawn seem to go worse after some time. Got quest to kill two pseudogiants in Garbage recently

[north flume]

I can never get my snowy Stalker game looking as good as I see in videos

[atomic pebble]

Yes, SSR, fixes from SRP, fixes by Snowy and a few more.

How to enable magazines in GAMMA: #╭📖faq message

silksong came out so no gamma for them

[opal phoenix]

oh

did they change how often you get piss stashes?

[mild wing]

you get one per 8 tasks more or less

i don't think it's been touched in a while

[north flume]

suddenly cant aim with the laser. I need to stop messing with this game and just play it more lmao

[opal phoenix]

zombies are part of the game now?

wtf

[cunning patio]

?????

zombies have been a part of stalker since shadow of chernobyl

[mild wing]

are we talking zombies or the zombified?

[cunning patio]

both have been in the game

since , forever

[mild wing]

there was a period when zombifieds appeared only in the yantar tunnels

[opal phoenix]

yeah that

sorry forgot theres 2 versions

2 mfs ambushed me in garbage

[cunning patio]

regular zombies can spawn in garbage yanter I think cordon even swamps and many other locations
same with the ZOMBIFIED stalkers the ones that can shoot

[mild wing]

regular zombies are kinda rare these days

i've encountered them only once in my current run and it was a massive horde of like 10

[cunning patio]

true

they used to be turbo common back in the day

[solar sage]

does sleeping not heal you anymore?

or is it just cause i used a sleeping bag

[north flume]

afaik it heals condition but not limbs and such

[solar sage]

ok thx

my legs get fukt all the time. its lowkey annoying

[north flume]

that's why I always carry 800x sulfadimethoxine on me at all times

[solar sage]

yea. its new game, so im broke asf

[fair silo]

sleeping heals my limbs

[solar sage]

how long did u sleep.

[fair silo]

I'm on medium diff

[solar sage]

same

[north flume]

oh maybe I'm wrong then lol

[fair silo]

about 8-10 hours usually

[solar sage]

ok i woke up early at 7 so must be that

[fair silo]

it won't heal general condition but it definitely heals limbs

otherwise you could go to a medic, either rostok or swamps

[north flume]

that checks out. I knew it was one way or the other

[solar sage]

yea im in garbage and wasnt walking all the way back just for that

[fair silo]

...it's weird because my guy definitely does heal general condition over time, but not when he sleeps

[solar sage]

could be from u being near campfires

[fair silo]

at first I thought it was 'cause you go hungry/thirsty so it brings you back down on general condition, but no, 'cause going to sleep full wakes you up full

[north flume]

why am i hearing whispering in the swamps bruh

like leave me alone

[opal phoenix]

single horny milfs in your area

just around the bush

[north flume]

those are bloodsuckers

what do I look like, a freedomer?

[opal phoenix]

maaaaan

[solar sage]

i forget how to fix the barrel on my gun.

[opal phoenix]

ramrod

[solar sage]

thx

[opal phoenix]

i need to get a better pc

fucking dx8

[solar sage]

oh its too broken for ramrod. so i need to remove it. or fully replace. idk

been a minute

[opal phoenix]

yeah if its under 60% then theres nothing you can do apart replace

[solar sage]

GRAHH

thx

lul

[opal phoenix]

so glad stalker is still as fun as the day i left :peepo:

[rustic dust]

stalker slowly died in me

maybe its because i didnt played it often

[compact tulip]

can someone help me figure out some problems im having with the bat artifact?

if i use the bat to upgrade a wrenched, it turns into a full empty. same with a regular empty. but if i use it on both it turns one of them into an eye

[mental furnace]

cause its random

ur artefact either get upgraded to next tier or changed to same tier artefact but another one

[compact tulip]

Ohhh. so just save scum until eventually it does upgrade twice.

[mental furnace]

[compact tulip]

Wish you could pick between upgrading and lateral transmutation.

[wary aspen]

making me chose between degtyarev and strelok is foul like pls bro i don't want to. Let me kill scar instead

[stark wyvern]

what's stopping you from just blowing his brains smoove off after last dawn

[wary aspen]

i don't even know if he's in the game

(i didn't do last dawn yet)

[stark wyvern]

go do it

[small ermine]

You on the last section of afterglow ?

[wary aspen]

Yes

mb i had caps lock on

[small ermine]

You are only forced to choose if you fuck up any of degs missions

[wary aspen]

i didn't fuck up anything

[stiff wyvern]

anybody else having trouble switching aim mode? doesnt work for me anymore since the update, gun is the ak venom

i am talking about the laser aim mode

[small ermine]

Well the option should present it self in the dialog
Unless you didn't read it and picked the ima kill deg anyways option

[stiff wyvern]

where you take the gun down and basically hipfire but aiming

[wary aspen]

i just read the storyline progression guide and apparently i could've sided with unisg to not make a choice at the end

[small ermine]

No that's another one

That one requires you to fail all of degs missions

[wary aspen]

so how do i know if did well ?

[small ermine]

Deg says in his dialogue

Something something about the failures can't afford him to not capture strelok for command

[normal island]

Y tú qué we

[wary aspen]

Well you was right i just was so dumb that when i took the "keep the two alive" route i thought they were figthing each other when i came back to degtyarev

[mental furnace]

[small ermine]

[mental furnace]

[waxen plinth]

annoying shit

heard that there are actual ways to loot that. Without turning the mod off, that is

[fair silo]

pressing the "reflex sight mark switch" key with the eotech 1 will cycle between a bunch of empty sets until it circles back to the one that works. At least with the 870

[north flume]

what do you guys use for Anti-Aliasing or equivalent? My eyes have suddenly and unfortunately noticed the TAA ghosting

[twin timber]

Man, i really cannot shake off this addiction to gamma

[north flume]

oh thank god I grabbed the latest version of SSS (23.5) and it's much better

It's back AAAAAHHHHH

[harsh sandal]

Yes sir

[harsh sandal]

[agile epoch]

Would you take a 1921 Thompson over a shotgun/Winchester? Or would you prefer one of the other two?

[stark wyvern]

winchester any day

i prefer being a cowboy than a mafia man

[agile epoch]

I'm doing a no-stash challenge where the only inventory I can use is my backpack. I've now got a few options to choose from but have to start dropping some of the dead weight. I started with the Winchester but kinda wanted something a little faster.
I love the Winchester but it's fairly slow. Benefits are a lighter ammo and more in the tube which is always nice. A Mossberg gets close but the ammo is twice the weight. And the 1921 is just ratatat. Fun lol.

When it comes to maximizing carry weight the Winchester is a tempting thing to keep

[stiff wyvern]

is it just me or did the latest update break laser aiming?

[agile epoch]

When I get a laser gun I'll let you know

[stiff wyvern]

both venom and pmc no longer let me aim with the laser

[agile epoch]

Already tried saving/loading I imagine?

[stiff wyvern]

yes, even restarted the game

[agile epoch]

Try enabling debug and get another one, see if it does the same thing

idk about lasers rn but I had a problem with my headlamp

Getting a new one solved it

[stiff wyvern]

i will try when i am back on my pc

thanks for the help

but i am starting to fear it's the good old grok not liking cool stuff and just removed it case

[agile epoch]

Well there's no guarantee that this is actually "help" lol

More like conjecture

New question: what's everyone's favorite pistol?

[twin timber]

FN Five SeveN

[errant island]

where the hell is this stash under mangun

[twin timber]

It's inside his pants

[errant island]

its not on the roof over him or anywhere in the room

[twin timber]

He keeps his good stuff on the underwear

[errant island]

im sure ehe does

ive never gotten this location before and cant find it

[twin timber]

Try placing a waypoint on it

[stark wyvern]

!ms

[dawn marten]

@errant island
An ongoing bug causes some stashes to spawn on random objects, anomalies or NPC's, resulting in the loss of any items they might've held.

To identify if the stash is indeed bugged you can do this:

1. Right Click the stash marker on your PDA Map
2. Select Set Waypoint
3. Right Click the waypoint you just added
4. Select Waypoint Settings
5. Enable Show waypoints marker on HUD
6. Press OK
7. The on-screen waypoint will point towards the stash

[errant island]

thank you

yeah, its bugged that sucks

[stark wyvern]

no stash for you

[errant island]

guess not

[fair silo]

what's the default "basic light settings"?

[harsh sandal]

You remind me of my funny run

[radiant star]

so big and greedy

[harsh sandal]

I could only use my inventory to store all of my stuffs

This was a long while ago do you still see lead containers

On top of that, shotgun and smg only invictus run

The challenge really taught me to not be greedy

[fair silo]

god dammit

"ooh kashtan rmr! looks cool!"

he said, like the fucking idiot he is

not only it won't fit anything that's not an ak, it's actively useless.

the adjustment knob is right on the way of the canted sights

[hearty plinth]

get knobed

[fair silo]

it really does feel like a prank

because with the normal kashtan the canted stance is lower so the knob is not on the way

[hearty plinth]

i usually save before buying kits.

i bought this exact same kit and saw the exact same knob

[long torrent]

simply know where the gun is pointed

[celest sparrow]

sticky paper on screen

[echo kettle]

=0

[solar sage]

while im sure its not litterally a bug, the description of this says it has a scope. it dont

[valid crater]

There are two Mauser ones, that one and the "Forester", with mentioned scope.

[solar sage]

ah i see

[gaunt agate]

It just has the wrong flavor text

[valid crater]

The Forester one is an amazing early-mid game sniper, almost too OP for being B, but, getting ammunition for it can be hard.

[gaunt agate]

The AP is kind of a joke

Other then that I agree

[valid crater]

It kills anything human you may need to in the southern areas, so, it's doing it's job.

[opal phoenix]

still gaming?

[harsh sandal]

Yes sir

[opal phoenix]

hows it been

[harsh sandal]

Tho my soul is currently taken by Silksong and Broken Arrow

[opal phoenix]

[harsh sandal]

Will be back to my double barrel run soon tho

[opal phoenix]

damn

double barrels now?

wtf happened in invictussy chat when i was gone

what did you do

[celest sparrow]

still?

[frail needle]

idk if this was in the game since a long time or just a glitch in this update, kinda funny though here i thought gamma had no money glitches

[cunning patio]

holy virgin activities

[frail needle]

idk which placeable sells the best though so idk how efficient it is, the workbench sells for 375 so still pretty good

[tropic grove]

Hell yeah Dux updated

[hollow wadi]

And now we fix GAMMA because Dux updated

[opal phoenix]

man i fucked up

apparently hold your ground mission takes ages

shouldnt have tried without proper ammo

[cunning patio]

remove all gamma mods and start over

[opal phoenix]

good practice though

what do you guys like starting with?

tried thompson gun but sight is annoying

[hollow wadi]

Vityaz or MP5, TOZ-106

[cunning patio]

1911 or pp

but mostly 1911

[harsh sandal]

They hate us so they took our home

[harsh sandal]

Yes

[opal phoenix]

homeless

[echo kettle]

[harsh sandal]

This is our new home

Aka Invictus 2.0

Just show people here how superior we invictus enjoyers are

[opal phoenix]

[viral quiver]

I understand that, but it's sometimes downright absurd mercs are sniping my companions ass from the merc nest, and the just stood there like idiots

@prisma crag oh yee sorry for tagging you again brotha, but is there a mod that adds new daily tasks? The re:done mod completely wipes out the spring cleaning quest from cordon, and the clear-the-mercs-in-wild territory quest from duty too

[dusk vessel]

it shouldnt be, that ammo has some serious ballistics. but i guess for balancing its made weak

[frail needle]

why are there suddenly hundreds of rookie and trainees carrying svds down soouth

one mf had an svd with gipreon scope and suppressor

[eager linden]

erm is there a / command for fixing microstutters?

[frail needle]

did you try searching for "stutter" in Mod organizer?

[eager linden]

already enabled it i still get the stutters, aswell as disabling a CPU core in affinity settings

[frail needle]

are you mid game and have tons of gear?

[eager linden]

been like a year lol, finally getting back into it on a new save

[frail needle]

lots of stashes in a map can cause that, if you unlooted stashes try clearing them

[frail needle]

new save huh. you can try updating it to latest then

like gamma launcher and everything

[eager linden]

updated it last night lmao, best part of gamma is fixing it lol

[fallen atlas]

GAMMA is... Very mod heavy

[latent elbow]

!stutter

[dawn marten]

@eager linden
Try any one of these at a time (in no particular order) to see if it helps:

1. Update G.A.M.M.A. to the latest version (open GAMMA Launcher with admin rights, click on Install / Update)
2. Bring your modlist back to default (type !default in #🤖bot-commands )
3. If you have a NVIDIA GPU, you can enable Triple Buffering, and set Low Latency Mode to Ultra in NVIDIA control panel
4. Open Anomaly Launcher via MO2 and tick Prefetch sounds
5. If you have a beefy GPU, use Anomaly (DX11) (no avx)
6. Activate the Turn this on if you stutter mod to alleviate stutters while losing some FPS
7. Consider looking at #╰⚡fps-optimisation for a performance boost, if that channel is locked go here to unlock: #⏩start-confirm

[latent elbow]

The "turn this on if you're stuttering" doesn't do anything anymore

[frail needle]

lol you can try the lua garbage increase in the ingame setting> modded exes>optimization> lua garbage to 800

[eager linden]

i didnt think it did anything in the first place 😭

[fallen atlas]

wtf is the point of "Turn this on if you're stuttering" if it does nothing?

[cunning patio]

only 500 mods? skyrim players laugh at this number

[frail needle]

+1

[eager linden]

trying without AVX and prefetch sounds hopefully i get to have fun soon

[fallen atlas]

I am suddenly reminded of a guy who makes mods for Skyrim that claimed

LOOT mod load order organizer worked on STALKER 2 with Mod Organizer 2

[latent elbow]

[eager linden]

vortex for stalker

yuck

[summer condor]

i dont get it help

[frail needle]

ok MB, cant sell Jewel boxes in newest update

[fallen atlas]

I mean, Vortex is good for STALKER 2

[eager linden]

im going to be sick

[latent elbow]

If you've got enough ram try to turn on the prefetcher mod

[fallen atlas]

It actually manages load order by renaming folders and lets you do modpacks with a single click

[summer condor]

wtf whats the point of these existing then

[eager linden]

i assume 32gb is enough

[frail needle]

still can sell to traders, just not the technicians

[latent elbow]

It is

[frail needle]

yeah lol, you play max graphics?

[eager linden]

yes

[latent elbow]

Grass density and Light fade distance are the 2 heaviest ram consumption options you can play with to improve fps too

[eager linden]

im only ever getting 7500 mb usually, ill lower some stuff anyways tho

[latent elbow]

What is the point of True PIP if 3DSS achieves the same result with better performance?

[frail needle]

One thing you can try is max view distance for everything, maybe the models keep loading and unloading which might cause stutters

although that will tank your fps

[fallen atlas]

That man surely is mentally stable and wont shoot anyone and then themselves

[eager linden]

dude what he would never, not my pyle

[latent elbow]

True PiP use 2 rendering for a real pip from what I understand

[fallen atlas]

I know, but 3DSS pretty much achieves same effect with not as much fps impact

[eager linden]

i didnt even know there was a pip-boy in stalker

[fallen atlas]

PiP is picture in picture

[latent elbow]

True but there is a difference (for immersion and gameplay imo) between having only the scope that zoom and all the screen

[fallen atlas]

But now I'm tempted to bother someone about making a pipboy mod for anomaly

[frail needle]

lmaoooo XDDDDDDDD

[fallen atlas]

Actually, Pip-Boy mod might be ludicrously easy to do

Just gotta do hand meshes, then replace backpack animation in FDDA with a PipBoy

Do the same for PDA

Voila, Pip-Boy in STALKER.

[frail needle]

PDA > PIP BOY

[fallen atlas]

Okay hear me out.
Pip-Boy as an actual PDA but when you equip it it replaces the backpack animation and the PDA animation is different

[eager linden]

damn bro shits still actin up

[haughty oxide]

found a fully functioning rifle for the first time in like 200 hours on gamma

[near estuary]

[opal phoenix]

[cunning patio]

yeah buddy sure you did

[lethal steeple]

the point of 3dss is not doing pip

it zooms the entire screen in

[fallen atlas]

Yeah I never really paid attention to that I guess

[opal phoenix]

what the fuck do you shoot zombified with

[fallen atlas]

Everything you've got apparently

[opal phoenix]

dude 3 zombified ate 3 9x19 mags holy shit

why are they better than most bandits again

[mint copper]

shoot the heads

[opal phoenix]

cant see the heads

[valid crater]

Depends on, some are real tanky, especially one in the tunnels can spawn very tanky after you finished miracle machine.

dx8 gaming

[haughty oxide]

good thing gun condition isn't in the game anymore then

[opal phoenix]

[fallen atlas]

Those settings aren't even used anymore

Condition was weapon cleanliness but Grok removed that and its permanently set to some value now

[cunning patio]

either way he obv cheated I'm a pro hater

[fallen atlas]

Some guns can roll with perfect parts. I found a pistol that had parts in almost mint condition.

[dusk vessel]

ive only ever found a 2 parts gun with full green parts

i did find an svd with 4 green and 1 yellow parts once

[fallen atlas]

Pro hater it is

[pine nymph]

Im on scav lvl 13 how Is It possibile i looted a nosorog? It wasnt suppose to be lv17?

[minor notch]

Best I've ever got is a 4 green parts g36 in a yellow stash including barrel.

[fallen atlas]

afaik it's ludicrously rare and looting improves the chances?

[cunning patio]

[fair silo]

chat, wdyd to make sure you can keep up ammo wise?

do you carry a couple weapons to a new area?

I'm trying to push into army warehouse and beyond but having trouble keeping up with 5.45

[pine nymph]

Yeah i guess so i had Spartan or exo looted esrly like lvl 2 or 3 but never happened with heavy or exo armor,guess ill keep It

[fallen atlas]

Loot all ammo, disassemble what you don't use, use gunsmithing kit to craft more ammo
That's basically it

[pine nymph]

Gunsmitthing tool

Oh and also nemiroff vodka to Spirit in yantar

[fair silo]

eh I guess, don't you waste a fuckload of ammo with the gunsmithing tool?

I mean it's better than nothing I get it but

[minor notch]

Not really, just disassemble ammo you won't ever use.

[fair silo]

yeah will defo give that a go

[minor notch]

If your never going to use a 5.56 weapon might aswell convert it all to 5.45

[pine nymph]

Yeah exactly if you use 5.45 you dont Need 9x39,7.62,5.56 etc so Just disassemble those

[fair silo]

I'm kinda waffling around what weapon to use tbh

got a very nice aksu but I just restored an also nice aug but I'm also giving 9x39s the side eye lol

then again you use ammo to get more ammo so

[torpid hull]

oh yeah how bad is it to convert from 5.56 to 5.45 or vice versa

because like, as merc, 5.56 is more plentiful but 5.45 weapons are easier to obtain

[fair silo]

I've always felt the ammo making process kinda wastes a lot of stuff, hence why I haven't relied on it

I use it mostly for buckshot and I was stockpiling materials for 5.56 'cause it's definitely the harder one to get in cordon-garbage-rostok

[minor notch]

You could also just alternate guns and use whatever ammo you have ig

[dusk vessel]

dont clear sky sell it

[summer condor]

i was thinking about this and realized smth if theres an armor exchange why not have a weapon exchange 🤔

the 545 guns being easier to obtain bit

[fair silo]

bit of a pain in the ass to go all the way there for just 120 rounds but yeah, they do

[dusk vessel]

can always buy hp ammo from butcher

and just use that against humans

[fair silo]

butcher does have a surprising assortment of hp only ammo yeah

[summer condor]

butcher is the most based trader

[haughty oxide]

i buy all 5.56 and 5.45 hp ammo butcher and forester sell and use the parts for making whatever rounds that i need

[dusk vessel]

should only really do that if you have the achievment that gives extra parts when disassembling. unless im shizo and it doesent work

[summer condor]

same but for the ppsh bullets and the 9x18 into hydrashocks

ppsh bullets are stupidly cheap from butcher

[dusk vessel]

i like using 308 rifles anyway

hope g3 gets implemented soon

[haughty oxide]

it's either the same price considering the discount and the parts lost during disassembly, or just slightly more expensive, but you get more ammo than if you just bought one stock on normal ammo from a normal trader

[latent elbow]

Clearly disassembling ammo to craft new is a waste of resource but if you're sure you'll never use them it is worth (for example I disassemble all my 9x18 or 9x19 ammo to craft 9x21 and Hydrashocks cause I know I won't use those anymore same with 7,92x57 for crafting KSG and SVD rounds)

[last mesa]

Oh that area. Just jump on top of the warehouse and countersnipe if possible. If not leave them at the first checkpoint and rush the mercs yourself at the unfinished building before telling them to follow

[opal phoenix]

how do i check where the last signal i picked up points to

i forgor if it was wild ter or not

[latent elbow]

It should appear when you pass the mouse over the task on PDA map otherwise just note the day/hour you take the task and go through messages in your PDA to retrieve what the pnj originally ask you
