Did they nerf selling workshops for cash?

[idle ferry]

yo since when are burers a fucking sith lord?

this fatass electrocuted me and the next one threw some fire ball xD

ts is fire actualy

[hollow wadi]

Probably :)

[hollow wadi]

Been around forever

[haughty aspen]

since reshader got removed, what is the total GB on GAMMA modpack now?

[hollow wadi]

They're just a bit rare

[idle ferry]

for real?

fire

[west wyvern]

Ass

What's a good money print method now

[idle ferry]

met two od them in miracle maschine

most fun i had in weeks actually

yo is the poltergeist an actuall thing made of meat but invisible?

i think i heard something like that some time ago

[flat plover]

You can kill them.

[idle ferry]

good lord what is that thing

is there a possibility to see them in their true form in gamma?

[flat plover]

For like a brief second when you kill them yeah.

[idle ferry]

When thei aint invisible*

[idle ferry]

fire

[proven raptor]

no

[proven raptor]

wha?

[wheat leaf]

Literally how early scopes for things like the 74su worked. Just spot-welded the picatinny rail onto the side.

Also good morning.

[west wyvern]

357 goes so hard

[wheat leaf]

Also yeah Gamma removed the corpse of the Polter, it just explodes on death now. In base STALKER, that body up there drops to the ground when you kill them.

[hollow wadi]

Cool, how is real life related to this

[wheat leaf]

I was just springboarding off of your 'just weld it' joke. It was funny to me because people literally did that in the past to use sights. So the super hardcore 'muh immersion' nerds in here couldn't get that upset if you put a sight on something it's 'not meant to have'.

Just... have fun modelling spot welding stuff on the gun, or whatever.

[hollow wadi]

Neat
I would never put in the effort to make it look like there's welding

It would as well be glued on

With Elmer's glue, but 0 mess

[wheat leaf]

"This sight is kept on the gun with the power of a tiny piece of a gravi artifact. And also fuck you."

[hollow wadi]

[wheat leaf]

That all aside; hoo boy, kindasorta apprehensive about doing my whole run from the start again, given all of my stuff got wiped when my PC died last year. But at the same time, maybe it's not a bad thing to go back to the murderhobo phase for a little while.
-# Well technically I'm still a murderhobo even at the end I just have a really expensive gun and an exosuit lmao.

[idle ferry]

BALL

[wheat leaf]

Ball is good. Saves you ammo on Boars if you're not a pansy.

[cunning patio]

enter stalker chat
furries

hell on earth

[wheat leaf]

You come to the Zone expecting less than Hell itself?

[cunning patio]

true tbh

should know better

[viral roost]

Mf wearing a fursuit to deal psi dmg

[wheat leaf]

Stop before you give anyone the idea to make controllers into fursuiters and the skull on screen for their attack into a :3 face

[quasi lance]

Thars what I do >_>

[quasi lance]

Too late

[next phoenix]

As the psi-bolt hits you, the last thing you see is the boykisser meme

[west wyvern]

Is it possible to kill every stalker in the zone

[quasi lance]

Chipi chipi chapa chapa anomaly

[flat plover]

Honestly surprised someone hasn't made that a mod yet.

[fast lagoon]

there's no need to weld it tho, soviet rail can be installed with some drilling and riveting

[hollow wadi]

Sorta
A few are immortal

[flat plover]

Sid for example.

[hollow wadi]

Sid doesn't count

[west wyvern]

Would I come back to cordon and a bunch of bandits be respawned?

[hollow wadi]

He's actually furniture

[west wyvern]

I didn't say demigods

[hollow wadi]

Probably

[flat plover]

😭 wouldn't be surpising

[west wyvern]

[hollow wadi]

That's not even a meme, he's part of the map

[wheat leaf]

He's literally a chest with dialogue atached.

[flat plover]

LOL

[wheat leaf]

Fun fact, his head faces you at all times, so long as he is loaded. No matter ho far you are, or if you're directly behind him.

Have fun sleeping at night knowing that.

[flat plover]

Oh that's.

Yikes.

[muted spruce]

I think a quarter of the player base is

And half the mod team

[west wyvern]

I already knew this

He's my sleep paralysis demon

[hollow wadi]

The rest of trader NPCs are also basically talking chests, it's just that they were made later and can actually walk and fight like regular AI

[quasi lance]

Lmfao

[west wyvern]

Yes a niche community of people who like Soviet Russia and guns are furries

And grass is green

[next phoenix]

The whole "internet stability jenga" meme is 30% furries and nobody knows

[quasi lance]

Sid on Stalker 2 is even more if an asshole

[flat plover]

I'm guessing they were made like that for balancing or smth.

[quasi lance]

:3

[muted spruce]

I would hazard a guess that almost all cyber folk are furries lmfao

[quasi lance]

A good chunk of them are, actually

[wheat leaf]

It's a pipeline, really. You join the internet, you meet new people, some of them are furries, and there's a coinflip. Either you become one, or you become a hater.

[west wyvern]

It's like when I joined the cod zombies VR community and saw it was all femboys and furries I was like

Huh makes sense

[west wyvern]

Military is also all furries too

[next phoenix]

I don't think you could tell very easily, but I'm a recovering user myself

[flat plover]

Haters usually end up going down the pipeline lmfao.

[wheat leaf]

Just like the military industrial complex. You either leave the military and become a femboy, or you commit die.

[muted spruce]

God's speed soldier

[quasi lance]

I mean
It is milslop and russia
Ofc its femboys and furries

[next phoenix]

Was co-owner of the largest furry server on discord at one point in time, many years ago

[muted spruce]

😭

[next phoenix]

Thank god those days are behind me

[west wyvern]

And VR*

[wheat leaf]

As a furry, I'm sorry.

[quasi lance]

I second it

Large furry servers are a pain

[next phoenix]

It was an experience for sure

[wheat leaf]

I can't leash every furry into acting civil, as much as some might like that.

-# The leash part that is.

[next phoenix]

But I don't think I've ever had to nuke so many people for all kinds of unforgivable conduct as during my time there

[west wyvern]

Really just like take an activity or community figure how much autism is involved and that'll give you a good furry count

[flat plover]

Just go private sector.

[quasi lance]

Ik
Ive been there <_<

[wheat leaf]

mfw it's all femboys there too.

[flat plover]

I mean everywhere you go there's gonna be them.

[wheat leaf]

"Bravo 9 on sector, uwu"

[west wyvern]

Without the commit for option

[flat plover]

Literally can't avoid it

[quasi lance]

A clicker should do the trick
90% of them are clicker trained

[quasi lance]

i mean, i was a femboy while serving, sooo

[west wyvern]

Anyway your statement is false I'm in the military and not a femboy or furry or wanting to die yet

Well see how Poland goes tho

[wheat leaf]

Next big Discord update; a button that lets the server admin make your client emit a clicker sound.

Ban rate drops to 0%.

[quasi lance]

Auwutism

[west wyvern]

It's how the guy who beat me to top of class got it

Autism and war thunder teaching the content for him

[wheat leaf]

You're just not at the end of the pipeline yet.

[quasi lance]

Ofc its poland
Thats where half the world's femboys come from

[flat plover]

Majority of the community is ok ig. It's just that certain part of the community that needs to be locked up away from society.

[quasi lance]

<_<
Literally me

[west wyvern]

I didn't pick the mobilization

I'm happy with it I just didn't pick

[west wyvern]

He beat me by one question

[quasi lance]

I bet the polish army has camo skirts and thigh highs

[wheat leaf]

It still tickles me that War Thunder literally had to ask people in its official discord to stop leaking government schematics because they were getting questioned by the suits.

[flat plover]

Still happens to this day.

[west wyvern]

I mean..... Ngl sounds pretty tactically sound

[quasi lance]

Couldn't agree more >_>
I've seen horrors beyond human comprehension

[wheat leaf]

The miltism folks really want their vehicles to be 100% realistic.

[flat plover]

Literally saw one the other day.

[quasi lance]

Fr

[flat plover]

Some mf leaked NATO docs.

[west wyvern]

This screw is off here's the document to prove it

[flat plover]

Got beamed instantly.

[wheat leaf]

"This vehicle does not operate as per standard; here are the documents to remedy this."

[quasi lance]

All because the abrams headligjts werent modelled correctly

[west wyvern]

But the game updated to include the documents

[next phoenix]

They're relying on the hummina hummina effect to gain the upper hand

[west wyvern]

Also I think tactical skirts exist iirc

[wheat leaf]

If my time on the internet and with autism (my entire life) have taught me anything, it's that an autistic person will stop at NOTHING, literally go days without sleep, in order to rectify one tiny error with something they really like.

[next phoenix]

Real

[west wyvern]

Yeah tactical skirts exist

[quasi lance]

.>
Need
I lowkey want an armored skirt like my fursona's

Made of armor plates

[quasi lance]

Its beautiful

[next phoenix]

Armadillo maybe?

[wheat leaf]

Source; I have literally spent 19 hours straight reorganizing my song list for Clone Hero.

[next phoenix]

They're already armored

[quasi lance]

No
Literally steel armor plates

[next phoenix]

Based

[wheat leaf]

Unfortunately 'dillo plating ain't bulletproof.

[west wyvern]

Its to solve common leg armor problems rn I believe the coverage of a typical skirt setup is better than other solutions for legs

[quasi lance]

I want a skirt like this >w>

[next phoenix]

Honestly just drink more milk

[wheat leaf]

It's basically an evolution of groin plates used in more heavily armored SWAT tac stuff.

[next phoenix]

The tarkov leg meta only exists because russia can't import calcium anymore due to sanctions

And thusly everyone's got weak shins

[quasi lance]

Eat lead
The enemy bullets cant harm you if you're already made of lead

[wheat leaf]

Bruh I see people chugging milk left and right in that game.

[next phoenix]

Milk that is calcium-free

[quasi lance]

One man with a bat is going to win against a whole platoon then

[west wyvern]

Yeah it provides very good leg protection with no mobility loss it just weighs a bit

[next phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/scout-scout-tf2-oh-man-thats-beautiful-muscle-arm-gif-15378081098357683145

The man with a bat in question:

[west wyvern]

Haha wrong reply

[wheat leaf]

Wrong message to reply to.

[next phoenix]

:(

[west wyvern]

Horse react this man

[next phoenix]

You ninja'd your message under my cursor RIGHT as I clicked

[wheat leaf]

Eh, we've all done it before. Just gotta double check before you post. (Physically impossible.)

[quasi lance]

Fish react this man

[next phoenix]

I hereby curse you with advanced tools until day 20 for your crimes

🔨

[west wyvern]

Pregnant man react this felix

[wheat leaf]

You know what this means.

[quasi lance]

Not the Mpreg 😭

NOOOOO

[wheat leaf]

Pregnant fish emoji when?

https://tenor.com/view/hotdog-flö-gif-24284963

[quasi lance]

Im not ready to be a boywife yet :c

[west wyvern]

Then don't be

Skip to husband

[wheat leaf]

Careful with the random meme gifs, not 100% sure but I think they might be in the TOS somewhere of the server.
-# That or I'm thinkin' of C:DDA.

[west wyvern]

Proposal on second date

[west wyvern]

Cdda mentioned

[quasi lance]

Nah, im 100% the wife
Although, my bf is also the wife

[ashen stag]

what

[wheat leaf]

Love the game, Kevin sucks though.

Killed my drive to make stuff for it.

[quasi lance]

Whuh

[wheat leaf]

[quasi lance]

Whats cdda

[ashen stag]

i mistook this chat for newbies chat because it was active

[west wyvern]

Idk I'm just a casual enjoyer that got a gun on the list to be added

[wheat leaf]

Tile-based/ASCII roguelike zombie apocalypse game with 5 billion keybinds.

[next phoenix]

The death of the first amendment comes for us all

[wheat leaf]

I have spent 3 days straight playing it once.

[west wyvern]

Cataclysm dark days ahead

Imagine zomboid but more in depth and turn based

[wheat leaf]

And it's literally the old PC game Rogue, gameplay-wise.

[quasi lance]

Ew turn based

[west wyvern]

Ew small brain

[wheat leaf]

"Turn-based", there's an economy to actions.

[west wyvern]

Small minds immediately ew turn based

[ashen stag]

ew turn based

[wheat leaf]

Everything uses time units, a 'turn' is 100, there's ways to take multiple turns to do things or to do things fast enough to do more in a single turn, etc.

[quasi lance]

I like action

[west wyvern]

There's plenty in cdda

[quasi lance]

Not turn based action

[wheat leaf]

There's an option for real-time progression. But uh... Yeah have fun managing the inventory shit in that game with that on.

[west wyvern]

You're limiting yourself

Bg3 has some absolute baddies in it and it's turn based

[west wyvern]

It's an option but not an option lmao

Yeah this switch exists there's just 0 reasons to use it

[quasi lance]

By baddies do you mean autistic shit, or hot women ?

[west wyvern]

Both

[quasi lance]

Eh, i prefer hot men

[wheat leaf]

The hot women are also autistic.

[west wyvern]

It's got that

[wheat leaf]

And the men.

And the animals too.

[west wyvern]

You can fuck a bear

[wheat leaf]

They're all autistic. (And hot.)

[quasi lance]

.>

Now im interested

[wheat leaf]

Druid guy you can recruit will absolutely go bear mode and flatten you snusnu style.

[quasi lance]

Dont
Say that abt the animals 😭

[west wyvern]

One of the main characters is a hot vampire elf ga eman

[quasi lance]

1000 pound glomp

[wheat leaf]

There's also the teifling mommy with the nuclear reactor in her chest.

She makes me

[west wyvern]

🙂‍↕️ peak game

[wheat leaf]

I just like women who can absolutely fold me like a napkin, what can I say?

[quasi lance]

_>

[west wyvern]

Vampire elf guy

[quasi lance]

Real
I like smol fragile men and big women

[quasi lance]

Mmmmm
Not my type
He's hot tho gotta agree

[wheat leaf]

The future the 'libs' wanted is real.
-# /s

[pseudo galleon]

they're stoned i think :3

[wheat leaf]

"Where are you?" "I'm at Jupiter!"

[quasi lance]

Its freedom
They're always stoned
Love ur pfp btw

[pseudo galleon]

Thx :3

[wheat leaf]

Oh god I just saw it.

[quasi lance]

.>
Ok im interested

[wheat leaf]

Yeah boykisser would absolutely be Monolith.

[west wyvern]

I heard a guy from clear sky meleeing a snork by the church
he says from the hidden base

[wheat leaf]

I use a mod to fix that.

[west wyvern]

Bg3 peak game

Turn based so deal with it

[quasi lance]

I am a monolith boykisser
Comming a freedom patch
Might do a monolith one later

[west wyvern]

I don't
Tis an anomaly making my sounds heard

[wheat leaf]

I could understand people hearing it if you're using like, the sledgehammer.

Just a meaty, squishy 'kerTHUMP' from across the field.

[quasi lance]

You would know abt meaty thumps -w-

[west wyvern]

I need a scope for my svu tomorrow when I get on again

[quasi lance]

Just eyeball that shit

[west wyvern]

The thumps in question

[wheat leaf]

Imagine not just using irons + Free Zoom, smh my head.

[west wyvern]

Maybe

[quasi lance]

😭

[west wyvern]

I don't have enough controller real estate to do that

[quasi lance]

Imagine playing on a controller

[west wyvern]

Imagine not

[wheat leaf]

Controller?!

[quasi lance]

I dont even use free zoom

I just

[west wyvern]

Rog ally so yeah

[quasi lance]

Shoot until i hit

If you shoot enough, you're bound to hit something

[wheat leaf]

Accuracy through volume of fire. A real STALKER veteran.

No lie the base SHoC accuracy stat literally took into account fire rate.

[quasi lance]

[west wyvern]

I cleared out the agroprom research center with an sks molot and a revolver

[quasi lance]

Thats why i carry 500 rounds with me at all times

[wheat leaf]

Strelok's Sig(?) from the tunnels was the best gun for such a long time.

[quasi lance]

I did it with an M9

[quasi lance]

Strelok has a sig ?

[random grail]

Lore wise yeah

In cop

[quasi lance]

Didnt he have an AKS-74U ?

[west wyvern]

I only did it to kill my companion for his gun

[wheat leaf]

I just chose to start with a Tommy Gun and my first gold stash was an ammo kit so I'm set for ammo.

[next phoenix]

Average loner behavior

[random grail]

In cop you could find his sig

[wheat leaf]

Yeah in Shadow of Chernobyl you can find his personal Sig (the rifle not the pistol) in the room with the USB.

[quasi lance]

I took the Kar98
I like the irons

[random grail]

But he used ak74 to destroy c con

[wheat leaf]

It's the same as the base rifle but it has like 2x the fire rate.

[quasi lance]

A 550 ?

[random grail]

Then you are talking about fast shooting ak

[west wyvern]

I took the lever action because cowboy

[quasi lance]

Yeehaw chucklefucks

[wheat leaf]

357 is good ammo, not super useful vs humans tho.

[quasi lance]

Depends
It can hit like a bus

[wheat leaf]

Good luck having any bullets for it forever. Espensive as hell and no enemies will drop it for you for a while, as well. Lol.

[west wyvern]

Idk my revolver is still 2 tapping rn

[wheat leaf]

.357 has 0 armor pen. Funny GAMMA ballistics system goes brrt.

[quasi lance]

Yeah Ik
Thats why I also have an M9

Beretta never failed me

[pseudo galleon]

guh i killed a merc that shooted first and my reputation have worsened ?

[quasi lance]

It do be like that

[pseudo galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/guh-gif-25116077

[west wyvern]

Now I just need to fix up one of my 545 aks and I'll be peak setup

[wheat leaf]

Rep goes down if you kill someone that was in a faction that's neutral to you. You must've done something to piss that guy off in particular?

[quasi lance]

I want the venom one

Has a big mag

[west wyvern]

What's its name?

[quasi lance]

I really want the drum mag RPK16

[quasi lance]

AK-74 Venom

[west wyvern]

I have a rpk 16

[quasi lance]

Theres two
Mag fed and drum mag

I want the drum one

[west wyvern]

Mag fed and mag fed

[pseudo galleon]

i'm a loner tho

[quasi lance]

More boolet = more precision

[wheat leaf]

I remember finding an AK Monolit and being like 'pog' and then it's actually not that good because 5.45 weapons get outclassed by 9x39.

[west wyvern]

I have a vss a val and a groza for that fall off

[quasi lance]

Yeahh
Monolith tho :3
His glory will always outshine anything else

[pseudo galleon]

is that because i used HP to kill an stalker ? :3

[wheat leaf]

I dunno if it got changed since last time I played but you could literally just go to the cook in Yantar and give him like 40 doses of vodka and he'd slam 10 boxes of 9x39 in your hands and you're set.

[quasi lance]

I cant
Eggheads declared war on freedom 😭

[wheat leaf]

Warfare mode?

[quasi lance]

Yeah
Its funny

[wheat leaf]

Good luck with that. Shit's buggy to hell, Grok (nor anyone else here) ain't got the time or desire to fix it for them either.

[quasi lance]

Until i arrive with a Howa Type 84

[next phoenix]

Fairly sure Spirit still offers the same stuff

[wheat leaf]

Maybe!

[next phoenix]

Thanks for reminding me, I gotta get basics off of him anyway

I'll double check his listings for ya

[west wyvern]

This? im not sending a screenshot to my phone rn

[wheat leaf]

Most of my memory is from the end-game where I was just doing laps doming Monolith in Exos with an SR rifle that fired 7x62 Ball with like 60 BR pen.

[quasi lance]

Thats fhe AK PMC

Not the Venom

[west wyvern]

It's the only big mag ak I have rn

[next phoenix]

That's the PMC

[quasi lance]

Womp womp

[wheat leaf]

I know there's an M4 that has a huge magazine. Butcher or something like that?

[next phoenix]

Venom just looks like an edgier 74M

[west wyvern]

Noted

[next phoenix]

Butcher and HERA

[quasi lance]

M4 butcher yeah

[wheat leaf]

I am a chad and play with Mags tho, so I can just find a 60 round mag for my preferred gun instead of being locked to a specific gun mod.

[quasi lance]

😔

[west wyvern]

Every time I play with mags I end up using internal mag guns

[wheat leaf]

-# Provided the gun in question has magazines set up for it that ain't just the default magazine. Not all guns can use all magazines even if they're realistically compatible.

[pseudo galleon]

there is only furries playing Gamma ? :3

[wheat leaf]

Not ONLY furries but we're pretty abundant.

[quasi lance]

UwU

[west wyvern]

I'm not a furry despite the goose name

[quasi lance]

I posted furry fanart on the GSC server and the results were....
Mixed

[next phoenix]

Based

I love the mags mod but I can never find a good balance that doesn't get in the way of playing the game

[wheat leaf]

I personally play with Skills Extended which adds a mag loading skill, and then have the settings in the MCM set to 1.0 for the load and unload speed.

Slower at first but another avenue of progression.

[west wyvern]

Just enable it but just use internal mags

[hollow wadi]

Welcome to the broader internet

[next phoenix]

Here's what spirit has in my game

0.9.4

[quasi lance]

Where do I find this man ?

[normal sparrow]

egghead place

[wheat leaf]

Basic tools

Imagine not praying at the feet of the RNG gods for the first 40 game days.

[next phoenix]

He's in yantar

[west wyvern]

Imagine not getting the one shotgun really early game for the tools

[unborn wadi]

i have a shrine to rnjesus in my room that i keep full of offerings at all times

[normal sparrow]

BigFutaHip also gives tools

[unborn wadi]

even then, i get like 35 basics before i get adv

[normal sparrow]

I just find them like a Chad

[west wyvern]

Pregnant man react this

[normal sparrow]

There was another way wasn't there?

[unborn wadi]

you can hunt top 10 for expert?

idrm if there’s another way for basics tho

afaik it’s vodka/yellow stashes/hip

[normal sparrow]

I might be misremembering

[unborn wadi]

!tools

[dawn marten]

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

[west wyvern]

Just materialize them

[unborn wadi]

nvm

i think if you ask dazhbog nicely he’ll tap into the zone gods and get one for you

[normal sparrow]

there was a command for it that mentions Hip and Spirit specifically

[unborn wadi]

i no speak clanker

[hollow wadi]

!basic

[dawn marten]

@normal sparrow
1. Yellow stashes (yellow stashes are now the main source of tools);
2. Go to Spirit in Yantar and bring him 20 uses of Nemiroff vodka (7 full red bottles in total);
3. Bring Hip a TOZ-194 and 20 (twenty) 12x70 Buckshot ammo (check what kind of random NPC's drop this weapon here - #╟🔰☢newbies-chat message).

[normal sparrow]

That's the one, Cheers

[west wyvern]

Hip gives for shotgun

[normal sparrow]

So it is just the two

[unborn wadi]

i keep forgetting about the toz quest

def have disassembled a few by now lmao

one of my companions just got cooked by military dudes rip

[normal sparrow]

I borked my game so I'm waiting for it to unbork so I can get back to whatever I was doing last time, I forgor

[unborn wadi]

how game börk

[normal sparrow]

did things I shouldn't have

[fast lagoon]

aim for aw and rostok quests to get aw and tc yellow stashes
they have max probability of t2 tools
if you don't have t1 tools or stash with them, game will force t2 to turn into t1
get 2 stashes at these locations, t1 and t2 almost guranteed

[unborn wadi]

"Sanek Corpse"

I mean, named like that...

[molten sparrow]

Subtle foreshadowing

[next phoenix]

Would be nice if we could craft the kits ourselves

Like combining the acog 2.8 & rmr for the canted acog setup and then using that with some other stuff to "craft" the swamp thing kit

It'd be a lot of work though and more item bloat for a niche feature, so most likely not gonna happen

[unborn wadi]

wish sharpening kits were cheaper

[radiant trellis]

Hey so idrk now how to but if i need to know in order to change damage mind helping me? Whenever u can ofc

[wintry sky]

I thought Sids fursona was a chicken leg

[atomic pebble]

I understand that in Zero Investment there furries

and the player can made certain thingis with the furries

The fur attracts you it seems

[zealous jasper]

Oh Jesus

[hollow wadi]

One of us, one of us, one of-- I mean hello, citizen, download GAMMA

[small ermine]

[quick lava]

You calling THAT an exo?

oof

Heavy as fuck backpack at best

But with this mod is somewhat usable tho...

[opaque wyvern]

folks anyone can suggest a sniper rifle here.. got remington and wincester, also AS VAL.. while keeping G36K

[errant dragon]

remington, has a scope included and has upgrade kit options at some traders if you want to spend the money on them

i recommend either finding or buying a remington "magpul pro"

[opaque wyvern]

what is that a scope?

[errant dragon]

it's a variant of the base remington, has a different scope (i think), a canted red dot sight, and some other things added to it

[opaque wyvern]

this one is Remington Model 700

+5 armor pen

[errant dragon]

all bolt action rifles have that

[opaque wyvern]

may i ask why it is better than wincester

[errant dragon]

winchester only has access to .357, which is a mutant hunting round

won't do much to armored stalkers

[opaque wyvern]

thank you

guess will keep G36K stashed for now

[errant dragon]

[next phoenix]

If it walks like a duck and talks like one...

Either way, point is that any armor that requires an exosuit battery counts as an exoskeleton imo

[radiant trellis]

oh ok thx

@celest sparrow what's this character called?

😭

[quasi python]

what even is your game at this point... looks like someone made it with Microsoft paint from 2001.

[scenic trench]

so its botw weapons?

[fiery coral]

what are y'all favorite all-rounder heavy armors ?

[celest sparrow]

Yeah you'll be doing that a lot, although they are pretty cheap to acquire and there's ways to counter / slow degradation

[scenic trench]

not hybrid 😜
merc pf I guess? (if you can get one)

[fiery coral]

fair lmao

rn i'm still running my slightly upgraded wastelander because quite a few armors feel like sidegrades at best

[latent turret]

what artis are you running

[fiery coral]

didn't take the time to fix them

stone blood + jellyfish + soul + pseudogiant hide

[latent turret]

my fav is probably the merc STS N

or the pathfinder

[fiery coral]

okay so I guess I should farm mercs ? where do I find high level ones besides clearing the whole Zaton camp ?

[near estuary]

the outskirts base maybe?

true

[humble saffron]

lmao my fork of gamma got DMCAd

ill just delete it

[opaque wyvern]

got barret and M4 kekw and helm

how is that barret as sniper rifle.. never had it before.. also how m4 compares to G36k

[green shale]

it's what i did, just delete and re-fork

[calm grove]

it's all of them, looks like, mine as well

don't even remember what I edited there lol

[inner heron]

Barret is a .338, it'll fuck up any stalker

[quasi python]

im wearing path and apoco helm

[opaque wyvern]

some people told me it is bad.. idk i never had it before

[ashen stag]

its OP lol

ammo costs 10 million gazliion tho

[opaque wyvern]

how about M4 vs G36K

[small ermine]

That's why it's bad

[oblique reef]

people dismiss lapua cuz its more expensive than its usually worth.

Does anyone remember how you set the RF scanner to the same functionality as the Geiger counter in your settings, where it works when you put it away, as long as you have it set to the correct frequency beforehand?

Can you trade with Xenotech and the other trader as UNISG if i kill everyone over at the farm in Cordon?

[last mesa]

Nevermind Figured it out

[mild wing]

yes they are passive

[slate scroll]

oh man that's awesome shame i already died but my next run will be filled with this usefull information

[west wyvern]

I got my nvg let's go!

Also got a green barrel svd so I'm side upgrading to that instead of my svu

The deciding factor was I had a scope for the svd

[molten sparrow]

Has its usecase tho - great in Yanov/Jupiter if you can get the drop on an exo

[agile mesa]

bro WTF is going onnnn

[errant dragon]

even then, AP loaded in a sniper + a headshot is usually enough

[molten sparrow]

lapua is an AP sniper ammunition?...

[oblique reef]

Lapua is AP, Federal is HP

[errant dragon]

it is, I'm talking like, 7.62 nato or something instead

[wheat leaf]

Holy shit.

How does the 9x18 thing NOT make sense???
If you've got any kind of pistol-rated vest 9x18 won't do shit lmao, but you might have a few broken ribs

[mild wing]

looks like vanilla + some bloom

[next phoenix]

Broken ribs don't kill you, they just hurt like hell

[ashen stag]

idrk ballistics but the entre point is theyre calling out that the game is "unrealistic"

[mild wing]

the green part thing is valid criticism too

[ashen stag]

from what i can assume tho even irl with a pisto rated vest just a few shots can fuck you up

[mild wing]

okay that looks better

[next phoenix]

9x18 is a very low-powered round overall, it was designed to be effective at very short ranges

[ashen stag]

in what situation in gamma are you using long range anyway

[next phoenix]

And one of the most important things was for it to be light, since very few people would even draw & fire their guns at all, let alone do it at range

(I watched the forgotten weapons episode on the makarov recently, sorry)

[ashen stag]

idk man all i know is gun shoot

[next phoenix]

So the PM round is dinky but that's intentional

[errant dragon]

I need Ian to infiltrate a Monolith armory and review the gauss rifle

In and out and in and out and in and out of cover with 0.0001ms fire time each time.

[light ruin]

[echo kettle]

yeah I noticed they strafe and gave me a jump scare

[ashen stag]

usually its bc they see you through a wall cause you clip slightly

visible in third person

[hazy pollen]

Man, I take a vacation from Stalker to try Valkyria Chronicles 4 and next thing I know is they tried to kill GAMMA... poor Grok and all the modders that work here, they dont deserve this.

[ashen stag]

lol it was a valid claim

[radiant trellis]

is there a reason my stamina bar wont go pass a quarter halfway to full? I have aboslutely no effects on my character , no radiation, not overweight, not hungry, etc.

which task are you doing ? the guys in AW or somewhere else

[quasi python]

finding the samples in GS

west one i cant find the arti

found the other 2

if you have an echo detector id try using that to find the mission artifacts. but im not sure which areas in gs i forget

[latent turret]

thank you pelican rifle case

[wheat leaf]

Ayy, my rifle of choice for a very long time. Nice.

[naive arrow]

what's the key for quick wheel?

[wheat leaf]

Z? Maybe? Should be in your bindings in the options.

[naive arrow]

I couldn't find it in the MCM, but it is indeed Z

[pale plank]

WOW

Okay... for now i installed vanilla gamma succesfully now modin time

[wheat leaf]

Yeah, mods do make the game pretty.
I recommend going somewhat light on how much you mod until you have experienced whatever changes GAMMA has had since last time you might've played. (II use The Collector because I'm a loot goblin and a couple of personal guns.)

[blissful ivy]

pelican rifle case?

[blissful ivy]

i mean its the coolest .338 in base gamma

lets be honest

whats a pelican rifle case?

[blissful ivy]

i got a recommendation #1065168136577482753

lootboxes mod

[errant dragon]

pelican brand mentioned

[blissful ivy]

this too: #1356093219837837312

[blissful ivy]

link?

might be fun for blackroad

[wheat leaf]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/lootboxes-diamond-edition-v1-2

Find/buy/craft lockpicks to open them (costs one lockpick per 10% difficulty of the box) and has support for a skill if you use Skills Extended.

[latent turret]

thats outdated

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1042368127834542131

you randomly find lootboxes on stalkers, varies by faction, and you can use lockpicks to open them, its a nice addon because the boxes are heavy as fuck, with the best monolith one being like, 20kg i think?

[molten sparrow]

It is absolutely insane how much mask overlay kills FPS

I noticed I was getting completely different numbers and now just turn it off all the time. So good.

[blissful ivy]

this is great, mostly because id have to find them on black road

cant buy them, and it will be ages until i can craft them

[wheat leaf]

Eh, it's 6 metal scrap with basic tools.

For one, mind you.

[blissful ivy]

yeah thats nice, but guess what

[molten sparrow]

Does it tend to drop overpowered stuff or fairly fun/balanced?

[blissful ivy]

all that shit is a precious resource

[blissful ivy]

it was balanced when i tried it

well it depends on the box

i think some are busted

others are shid

[molten sparrow]

I’ve been curious for a while, might give it a go

[wheat leaf]

It's pretty fun and balanced, some of the higher difficulty/rare boxes can drop decent durability armor/weapons or a tier 2/3 artefact but you're not gonna get a full 100% exo out of it.

[naive arrow]

is this lootbox mod safe to add mid game

[blissful ivy]

actually good question

it should be

[wheat leaf]

As far as I know, yes, just won't see any until loot stuff runs again.

[blissful ivy]

since its adding items

[wheat leaf]

New NPCs spawned, new stashes, etc.

[blissful ivy]

but you have to wait for stalkers to respawn

[molten sparrow]

Ok cool, might add it and it should just phase in slowly

[blissful ivy]

and you have to get new stash coords

because old coords are pre-generated

but new ones generate with new options

new loot pool

[latent turret]

neat little addition from GFY to this psuedo i found

[molten sparrow]

Im enjoying my current play through so don’t want to restart

[blissful ivy]

my guy got that gaming headset

[molten sparrow]

7 basic tools in a row, my luck has been goated

[blissful ivy]

fucking astros

[latent turret]

he got the new steam headset early

lucky bastard

[errant dragon]

fuck astros, bought an A50 headset and they constantly buzzed

[latent turret]

lockpicks are also buyable from mechanics, caps out at 5 per mechanic

[blissful ivy]

cant buy them

if everyone tries to kill me

they all hate me

[wheat leaf]

Also a SUPER rare item called a lockpick set that's just something you carry with you and it makes all boxes cost 1 less pick to open.

[blissful ivy]

ah well

just means i can kill them

[wheat leaf]

More enemies = more loot = more chances for boxes to spawn.

[latent turret]

riight black road

[wheat leaf]

I remember playing Black Road in MISERY way back when. Spawn, dead of night, take 4 steps outside of logging place in Jupiter, controller.

[latent turret]

theres also a skeleton key that opens any box which is rare, but youll find a good few of them

also the only way to open a monolith cache

[blissful ivy]

but you get a knife

so its better than this

[wheat leaf]

I know the skeleton key gives you no xp if you use the skills expansion mod, I dunno if it makes the loot in the boxes worse? I also dunno if it's single-use or what.

[blissful ivy]

i get fucking nothing

[wheat leaf]

[blissful ivy]

except a shitty green sweater

and some jeans

[wheat leaf]

I've literally never seen a skeleton key in any of my time playing.

[blissful ivy]

bah who cares

[wheat leaf]

More than you deserve. smh

[errant dragon]

real shit, isolated and hated turns you into an absolute RAT

[blissful ivy]

nah its ok

[blissful ivy]

yeah until i get a gun

then its murder time :DD

[wheat leaf]

Yeah your 9% condition gun with 4 old ammo.

Click. Unjam. Click. Unjam. Click. Unjam. BANG! [2 damage.] Click.

[errant dragon]

4 ammo? we killing good tonight

[blissful ivy]

yeah thats 4 whole kills dickbag

kidding

anyways its true tho, each bullet is worth piss all with a bad barrel

since if its anywhere below 60% damage, its borderline worthless

[wheat leaf]

You'll be lucky to do enough damage to make something aggressive with that gun.

[blissful ivy]

4 headshots = 1 kill, unarmored opponent PPSh

not joking

that was the FMJ rounds too

literally depressing

[wheat leaf]

Even my fully repaired thompson with .45 fmj can sometimes take 3 shots to down a regular bandit. They don't even have armored helmets, just refitted PBR stuff.

[blissful ivy]

nah but the models can be misleading tbf

[wheat leaf]

But I crumple like a wet napkin even though I have 26br and my armor is full health.

[blissful ivy]

ive never had to take more than 2 shots to headshot anything with the thompson

unless they got a helmet

but otherwise it works fine

[wheat leaf]

I know it ain't super accurate but I dunno.

Also I noticed that zombified stalkers are a thing again. I know they'd been disabled for a while.

They are aggravatingly tanky. Even with headshots. They'll eat like 7 of them before finally falling over. And despite their gear literally being like 3% condition they will still kill me in 2 hits.

I do NOT remember them taking that much to put down if you're landing your noggin bops.

[blissful ivy]

WOAH

EXOSUIT KILLING BANDITS LETS GO

free luut

[blissful ivy]

yeah theyre tanky for no real reason

[wheat leaf]

Just don't get got while looting lmao.

[blissful ivy]

no i wait for them to walk away

im not dumb

oh he died

merc lived tho

2 mercs i think from construction site

[wheat leaf]

Mercs often have higher end 5.56 guns.

[blissful ivy]

yeah but im not fucking with them

unless i get a green barrel

and it has to be good

[wheat leaf]

Okay, I woke up hella early and played GAMMA all day. Time to crash. Take care. o/

[molten sparrow]

I am so tired of my placed objects killing me hahahaha

Do not fuck with boards

[blissful ivy]

3 rounds of AP

9x19

and a vityaz green barrel

now THAT is 3 kills

first day

btw

[quasi python]

echo detect worked... stupid that a better detect doesnt lol but thanks

[blissful ivy]

weirdest first day ever

on black road

@mental furnace @wheat leaf what you think about this as a base?

[west wyvern]

Rpk 16 or ak74 pmc

[blissful ivy]

its that small building in WT

[blissful ivy]

what?

[west wyvern]

Which should I use

[blissful ivy]

oh pmc

all the way

[quasi python]

isnt there a mod for 3dss where it just zooms the scopes and not the whole camera? is wear i remember seeing it somewhere

[blissful ivy]

yes but tanks performance

so you probably dont want it

[west wyvern]

I'll focus fixing that

[blissful ivy]

you should try black road

[quasi python]

ehh lemme see

[blissful ivy]

its really cool

[blissful ivy]

look in #1035807043933720576

[west wyvern]

After I beat normal gamma maybe

[blissful ivy]

yeah thats fine

ive done that like 5 times

i wanted a real challenge

and this is actually shaping up to be just that

just found 25 AP 9x39

...after finding a green barrel AMB

this is a sign

good fortune hopefully

[west wyvern]

My current playthrough is at the point where I need to find a base location:3

My current kit is an svd with the nvg scope, bizon and a rex

Hmm where's a solid base location that's not rostok
I want a cool living situation

[blissful ivy]

wild territory, in a random warehouse

still not far from traders in rostok, but its not rostok

[west wyvern]

Ehh

Pass

[quasi python]

what are ways to make loners friendly as a merc

[west wyvern]

I want a house to live in and decorate

Make gamma he home decorator with mutants

[blissful ivy]

HOH

HOOOO

ADVANCED TOOLS

YEAHHHH

LETS FUCKING GO

[west wyvern]

Lmao

[blissful ivy]

complete brain scorcher?

[west wyvern]

Bro is streamer luck

[blissful ivy]

or just play fucking freedom

because freedom and merc have ONE DIFFERENCE

[west wyvern]

No

Clear sky

[blissful ivy]

loners are neutral

[west wyvern]

I like my lever action rifle

[blissful ivy]

i have it on all the classes

but ok

also i got those tools off a FREEDOMER

because of my mod (#1395170540255313962 shameless plug)

[west wyvern]

I got my svd green barrel from a freedom guy

[west wyvern]

🫃

[quasi python]

ight ill do bs

[west wyvern]

What map has the ships on it again?

[blissful ivy]

zaton

holy shit this AMB couldnt have been a better drop

[west wyvern]

Thks pookie

[blissful ivy]

because it is SAVING MY ASS

suppressed high damage gun

[west wyvern]

SKS is better

[blissful ivy]

and i have a total of 25 AP rounds, on top of my remaining 4 FMJs

[blissful ivy]

are you being intentionally dense?

[west wyvern]

No SKS is just my favorite rifle ever

[blissful ivy]

oh, well, sorry to tell you theyre kinda shit

irl i mean

they are semi accurate at best

theyre reliable at least

and i do like the rifle

theyre just not that good for accuracy

[west wyvern]

Me when I lie

[latent turret]

how many non pistol guns fit in the melee slot?

[west wyvern]

P90 and that other weird caliber gun

Basically 57 and 9x27

[latent turret]

both p90s?

[west wyvern]

Or is it 21

[latent turret]

9x21

the sr2m

[west wyvern]

Yes iirc

[latent turret]

naice

once i snag a p90 im off to hit BS bc this 57 is nice and all but i need more boolets

[west wyvern]

Personally

I keep a 357 in my knife slot

[blissful ivy]

I OWN ONE

dickhead

ive shot it

it doesnt have a good grouping

[west wyvern]

They're generally more accurate than an akm so

[blissful ivy]

they never do

[latent turret]

357 is nice but i have a tac saiga for my mutant problems

[blissful ivy]

WELL NO SHIT

the AKM is just a fucking spray can

[errant dragon]

[west wyvern]

2-3 moa isn't bad for old surplus rifle

[blissful ivy]

well yeah, but when the M1 Garand has great groupings, it puts that thing to shame

the garand still holds up in accuracy

the SKS doesnt

[west wyvern]

Id rather keep my load out with a dmr an AR and a 357

[blissful ivy]

that is a joke of a rifle if you wanted to use it for anything requiring accuracy

anyways

[west wyvern]

Yes but garands are expensive and overhyped

SKS do this 🤤

[latent turret]

no dmr

need my expert for the fal thats just rotting in my stash

i got a forester and a g36

[west wyvern]

Rn my kit is an svd bizon and rex

I'll be hunting parts for my ak47 pmc later

[blissful ivy]

aw fuck

i cant imagine field stripping it

[west wyvern]

Also you're comparing battle rifle rounds to intermediate

[blissful ivy]

thats horrendous

[blissful ivy]

ok fine, the M1 Carbine

still better groupings

and its a smaller cartridge too

thats nuts

[west wyvern]

3-4 moa

It's worse bwahaha

[blissful ivy]

its about the same

[blissful ivy]

either way, its not accurate

[west wyvern]

2-3 vs 3-4 so

[blissful ivy]

sure its accurate for a shitty old surplus rifle

[blissful ivy]

2-5 btw

not 2-3

dont lie

[west wyvern]

2-4

[blissful ivy]

sks is a battle rifle

goober

[west wyvern]

SKS isn't

It doesn't shoot battle rifle round

Is my point

[blissful ivy]

its classified as one

so it kinda is

and besides, the fact still stands, that the SKS is just made for literate conscripts to shoot

not for any sort of accuracy

its still a piece of shit if you want precision

[west wyvern]

My Point is comparing 76239 to 3006 is just not fair

[blissful ivy]

ok, the M14 has an MOA of 1-3

its using an intermediate cartridge

[west wyvern]

It didn't

It shoots 308

[blissful ivy]

well its between intermediate and full power

.308 barely qualifies

imo

but it does, so scratch that

hmm, i dont think americans really used anything but .308 or 5.56

762nato is the battle rifle round lmao

[blissful ivy]

and 5.56 just always has better accuracy

[west wyvern]

Well yeah 556 is peak boolet

[blissful ivy]

i mean i guess the AR-15 qualifies, but not really

its a similar era, just 10 years later

16 years

nevermind

[west wyvern]

I always forget how old modern rifles actually are lmao

[blissful ivy]

but still, the SKS really only entered mas production in 39'

so its in a similar age group to the AR-15

which is 1-2 moa

[west wyvern]

Yeah the only reason it wasn't more popular is because it was right before the Ak came out

And overall aks are better for military usage

Doesn't stop me from loving my SKS 🤤

[blissful ivy]

ok dont get me wrong, i love my sks

but bringing the attention back the that image above

that thing is so inconvenient

since you have to clean an SKS after shooting

unless you use good modern ammunition

if you use surplus (which is cheap) its corrosive ammunition

[west wyvern]

SKS was designed in 41 btw

[blissful ivy]

which means your gun is fucked if you dont clean it

[blissful ivy]

oh shit 49

god damn

i meant 49

[west wyvern]

You fine lmao

[blissful ivy]

but i hit 39

anyways

yeah i had the right idea

just the wrong number

i have more gun dates/years and shit in my brain than most other things

so its gonna mix

[west wyvern]

SKS also looks great with a bayonet so

[blissful ivy]

it does

i have a bayonet for mine

i dont use it, bc theyd have my head

but its cool

[west wyvern]

SKS is just drippy

[blissful ivy]

simonov was brilliant

i must admit

[west wyvern]

Which is more important than function

[blissful ivy]

no it functions fine

its just that the accuracy is so weird

some SKS have good accuracy, like, 2-3 MOA on surplus shitter ammo

others are downright shit

like 3-5 MOA

on surplus

[west wyvern]

It's because there's so many

[blissful ivy]

yeah and they werent made to a standard

the standard was just "it shoots? good enough"

[west wyvern]

Also crazy comparison with something currently fielded as a dmr vs old Soviet rifle (M14)

[blissful ivy]

the way it comes apart tickles my brain too

i see why it was so nice XD

for conscripts

since it really only requires your fingers

and like 20 minutes

to properly strip and clean

[west wyvern]

Ar is better tho

[blissful ivy]

it is better yes

but thats because eugene stoner was a fucking G

he was literally one of the greatest gunsmiths of all time

up there with browning and colt

ofc i like my combloc guns too

theyre cool, just that sometimes they suck

like the SKS accuracy issues, but theyre still nice looking

[sick yoke]

saying the sks is a battle rifle and then saying that .308 isn't a full power rifle bullet has got to be doublethink

[blissful ivy]

i just feel like .308 is a joke

everyone loves it

even though its just kinda... ok

i feel it doesnt deserve the "Full power cartridge" title

.30-06 is just better

i dont know why they moved off of it

better case dynamics, more room for improvement, etc.

[sick yoke]

ok but that's not my point

[blissful ivy]

it IS a full power cartridge, and it IS a stupid ass claim

i recognize that

but i really did think it was intermediate until i checked

lmao

[west wyvern]

Wild

[blissful ivy]

just because of how underwhelming it is

[west wyvern]

Anyway my Browning a5 is so sexy

[blissful ivy]

[blissful ivy]

true

i have a benelli

M4

[west wyvern]

A5 better

[blissful ivy]

prettier yes

but theyre practically tied in function

[west wyvern]

Reciprocating barrel

(us military doctrine values volume of fire and carry capacity over the benefits of larger calibers for the average infantry boi)
