Gunsmithing kit, break down all ammo you get from bandits and such, craft your own. 
T1000? 🤔
I will always fight for gunsmithing being better than basic tools in a first yellow stash
Tf are those red stashes ?
UNISG stashes
You can customise the color of your stash indicators. It's good for if you use non-standard PDA map stuff (like INVERNO)
What are those, better than yellow ?
Also yeah some groups have unique stashes.
white stashes with some more stuff
I haven't seen one of those in a while, I don't play Merc 2.0. 
UNISG cashes that are given to you by friendly operator every day you get one its filled with useful items
If I was gonna play one of the factions that aren't friendly with any others it'd be Sin.
Nah. Mutants still attack you.
ah yes not being killed by 20 chimeras in outskirts does sound fun
At least they did last time I played.
normally they shouldnt attack you unless you kill them
Monolith is 'friendly' with zombified stalkers, which have been re-added since last I played as well, so they don't count.
ewwww
sin did turn friendly with mutants in a "recent" patch
They are so fucking tanky, that being said.
true
Aha, thank you for that info. I guess they're not as cool any more.
Yeah lore-wise it's cool I guess but.
I still think they would be fun to play but with how artifacts work now it's kinda
eh?
I really liked the idea of 'I am the true Zone' enemy of everyone kinda thing.
mowing down my friends because I HAVE to to upgrade stuff feels weird
Eh, don't gotta craft higher artis.
at least if I stab my merc friend in the back it was becuase he maybe had a hybrid suit on
Just loot jupiter.
Ah yes, the number one reason for merc on merc violence;
"He had an ACE"
They have the benefit of being in the North early which leads to common T2s but you still need the Detector for it lol
didnt even think about detector level
good point
that's your first day?
Bear is good enough for T2 iirc, only need to disassemble a couple of broken detectors/headlamps for the bits, and a Basic Tools.
Ye
The steyr is a very good find
Ran DC->Yantar->Garbage->Agro->DC->AW->Truck Cemetary->DC
ended up slurping a lot from a fight between Freedom and Duty in AW
AW is such a good area
and killed a legend and a master in Truck Cemetary, here's an interesting find, if enemies aren't aggroed, they don't run from nades
Fully repaired p90 day 1 holy
tasks day one in the north tho 
check the small checkpoints in AW for legendary stalkers
Man's busy running literally everything else, he ain't got the time to listen to every single random joe schmo who waltzes in here and goes 'durr how do install?'
I mean, restore X-Ray Engine 2.0 surely would be smth outdated compared to other modern X-Ray Engine but a great part of the sovl of the project is X-Ray 2.0, and the idea is restore it with the mechanics planned for the engine, sooo is not a wasted of time because is part of S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2
Thankfully with the advent of DLTX for mods, most editing of the pack is as easy as 'install mod and turn it on'. Sometimes it can break shit if you overwrite something important but that's not super common from what I've seen?
Props to him, I would never have the patience to run this shit while having a day job
Also yeah I was going to ask if the monolith engine (that's what anomaly uses, right?) was more advanced than the original 2.0?
At least it is now because of how long we've used it.
X-Ray Engine 2.0 had some characteristics that X-Ray Monolith Engine don't have but when X-Ray Engine 2.0 was cancelled was incomplete, very incomplete.
Sooo X-Ray Monolith Engine is better by being usable.
Would certainly be interesting if some day there's a monolith engine-level 'fixed' version of 2.0, and what we could do with the tools.
Dezowawe Team it's making that with S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2: Old Concept but are just a few devs and the development is sloooowww
Godspeed 
This is the official dezowave group headquarters. Here you will find everything about us, Priboi Story, and Lost Alpha.
Would be cool if they had support of GSC like on Lost Alpha but isn't possible
I ermember Lost Alpha... It's such an odd but interesting thing to play.
So many concepts that were either transformed in the final game, or just entirely cut.
You literally run into one like 3 minutes into loading; the 'mantrap' anomaly.
i wouldn't know if they have a dev more than before
Very different design for the cordon map in general. An entire underground section near the bridge with like, barracks and stuff. I never did get very far in Lost Alpha... maybe I should give it another try some day.
Dezodor did the underground because he wanted put a underground and created it by being angry with a dev that wasn't making the underground
Too, Dezodor is the level designer of the most levels on LA
I do also vaguely remember an attempt at moving some of the Lost Alpha stuff over to one of the Oblivion Lost versions, but that is way beyond 1) my actual knowledge, and 2) my memory. I haven't touched any version of Oblivion Lost for WELL over a decade.
aw bs loot in shambles 🥀
Why did the 12.7 deagle mod get removed?
the what now
The upgrade to the deagle to take a single 12.7x55 round
Not sure but there's a somewhat recent mod on modDB that adds in .50AE for it. If, y'know, you WANT ammo bloat for specific guns and no other. 

Anything that changes weapon upgrade trees is dangerous to play around with because if you load a save that has a gun in it that uses the old tree you will crash.
https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1233646399611207700 install this and in options of mod choose too remove restrictions
and convert deagle to 50 mg round 
Yeah it used to exist like 2 years ago
Well this isn't 2 years ago
You're most likely referring to the
Dahmpry
dampry
damp pry
Why did it get removed everyone loved it
Damnpyre (a vampire that says damn a lot, I dunno)
Probably for streamlining. A lot of one-off things bloat the install and the loot pool.
Boo
Probably replaced with the Steppe
But there's not any mention of its removal
Yeah I can't find anything
only usable pistol is the hornet

oh wait duh
#shamelessplug
The humble PM:
i know why the dhampyr doesnt exist anymore
we got the RSH12
Chat he does not know
Unironically, the TT is beter. The rounds perform better with GAMMA's ballistics.

RSH is just the non joke version

Such a shame the ASH12 is literally like, one of the worst D-class guns.
nah its goated
It somehow takes 12.7 and makes it perform worse than 7.62.
How so
I suppose it's fine if you wanna use it as a really big dick energy anti-mutant weapon.
Every other gun that uses 12.7 can 1-tap monos in exos with headshots. The ASH12 takes like 4. I have no clue why, it's the same bullet.

'big dick energy' as in 'using stuff that's bad against mutants simply to send a message'. 
Like "I use AP rounds on mutants
" vibe.
I remember on my ecologist invictus victory I had to mag dump a boar with AMB AP rounds
what a terrible day that was
Oh I am so sorry.
At that point you literally would have been better off being a matador and then slapping its cheeks with a knife.

Most mutants seem to take extra damage in the rear anyway.
Not having the weight to carry 700 rounds of ammo difference I guess. 
Right after finding an RPG in one of my last playthroughs, a pseudo decided to fuck around near the dead city base
My dumb ass always has like 9kg of ammo combined.
He learned very quickly that being big & tough doesn't save you from explosive warheads to the face
Well there's your problem. Sin are like, literally partially bulletproof. And even then you still wanna use AP rounds, iirc.
a lot do
GBOOBS go brrt.
around 130%
I just ran too light for the hospital - generators - sarcophagus
portion of mortal sin
Yeah especially doing invictus you wanna make regular stops to a stash between each major thing.
Don't daisy chain them.
Sin has a straight damage resist, so AP won't help
I ONLY brought my amb and ump too which was a stupid idea
Sin = FMJ are fine, just use enough. Keep the expensive AP for worthy stuff.

That's why HP works better since it has more damage
It doesn't help the % resist but a lot of their armor still has high BR values.
With HP or other ammo that doesn't beat the BR they take ZERO damage until you 'break' their BR.
Perhaps the best solution is potassium cyanide
when my only options were amb or ump the ump was technically safter when peaking corner since it would hit stun more frequently
Nah, best solution against Sin are explosives, lots of them.
They commonly use Medium Armor wdym
I have learned alot from my past invictus runs, mainly to just bring a 3rd gun and stop being a pussy
solved alot of my issues
Even then, the Damage reduction from Non-Pen shots is heavy that it barely event matters
BS showers you in them. Rock huggers love to have them, though they never use them.
It's funny.
yeah lets keep it that way
Though I guess I'd be a little upset if a squad of monolith suddenly turned me into a skyrim giant attack ragdoll with 19 m203 shells.
I don't need npc's perfect arcing ubgl's right on top of me

Hoenstly... Did they ever use them in base STALKER either? I don't remember. Just military grenade spam.
Maybe the AI just isn't coded to use ubgl.

although as boyan would tell me, 100% of grenades are dodgeable. hallowed be his name
that mf had to have an altered install of the game I refuse to believe he didn't
"I go multiple days in-game without being hit by a single thing. I also rush BS day 1"
riiiiiiiiiight

I also actually don't really see AI in GAMMA use grenades, either. They will have them but choose to instead plink at me with whatever gun they have.
AI can use UBGL but afaik they can't switch between
I suspect he might be playing the strelok edition of gamma
Where godmode is always enabled
monolith are really the only ones I run into that spam nades
maybe military if they are feeling frisky day 1 in garbage
Monlith don't even throw their grenades either, for me.
They just love to 'DA MONOLITA' and explode if they get wounded.
So the AI would have to explicitly have something like the RGL from base game in order to actually use the underbarrel grenade types?
I guess
Oh, kind of on the topic of 'ai requires a specific weapon type for specific ai type', the fucking mechanics and shit jumpscaring the fuck out of me whenever I clear out a base. 
Finish killing everyone, looting bodies, and they sneak up on me only to run away again when I turn and see them, screaming "OH NO, STALKER".
Literally sneak, as in crouch walk directly to my fucking cheeks.
I thought chimera were heart attack simulators. 

sup guys how do i remove newcomer?
Chat
Gotta chat enough on here to get a higher rank, I'd imagine.
you are stuck as newcomer forever

how you doing guys :)
About to load GAMMA up, so, y'know.

I've lost control of my life. :^)
Tarkov makes me insane
Not yet, only 100 hours
you can try arena breakout it's pretty good
Ew
Oh, you installing INVERNO?
i liked it

clueless
toiko what faction am I playing today
Tarkov 1.0 made me legit depressed
Renegade
Mutant 
best Faction
They're just shittier bandits.
No legit bases, all the same rules as bandits.
Me trying to progress but 2000+ hours players say no

worst faction
"Oh boy I want to do a Bandit playthrough but have no faction traders or story missions."
-Every renegade
yea
Who need traders when you can loot from everyone?
I am one of those 2k+ player and still, just the release shitshow into I gotta start over for the nth time made me quit
Wait
Ain't got no time for ts anymore
Hello, I am in fact Seb. I have been a furry for a very long time, like 2003.
an old furry 
dinosaur
Oooh boomer furry, those are rare
☄️
do you artificially make your fursuit more grey as time goes on
I turn 33 the end of December. I'm nearly ready for the retirement home. 
or is that a myth

Oh u were an early furry too
unc
I don't actually have a suit. Too poor for that shit lmao.
Fuck, being a teen furry in the 00's, must've been hardcore
imagine no 25k in the bank for a suit
Oh it was certainly fun, but in a way it's made me the extremely depressed, self depricating man that I am today. 
Most stuff doesn't phase me any more.
Legit "You can't say anything that I don't already think about myself."
It's like a super power.
Yeah fursuit is expensive
Try a skirt instead

I have
I've recently seen a russian youtuber post like the whole story about furries or sth, the video is 2 hours or so long...
For a costume
Lie
Need proof
I cba to check it all, but some parts were oof
Even wore heels and that shit sucked

Legit no stalker talking here 
how are item IDs calculated ? Does every item in a stack have an ID ?
because if so I have like ~6k gunpowder 😭
this is a stalker map
Stacks
so stacks have an ID but items within don't ?
pretty,,,
yeah me thinks 
This chan isn't active enough for mods to care ig
tiktok filter
well I really hope otherwise I'm fucked
A "stack" would be the 14 bullets you make/buy at a time. Each of those has an ID, even though they stack on each other in the inventory. If you click on your stack, you see each individual "stack" in the middle of the UI.
Each of THOSE is an ID.
okay so...
how the fuck is bro...
@proven raptor
is there a console command to list item IDs ?
Iirc, whenever you save, it will show number of IDs you have rn.
Pls sell excess blue GP and HG casing
Just save then open the console
I don't think you'll craft/use the 2k handgun fmj you could craft with it
oh okay I'm not at 64k yet I've been stable
yeah I sold all of it
the game starts at around 30k btw
ok chill then :3
Is it a global limit or only on active entities ?
global
You don't want to get over 65536 IDs, your saves will be cooked
Bosspack starts with 50k IDs 
yeah ik
yup
Ukrainian code is the IRL Zone
idk why they used only a 16bit int to store IDs but what do you know
well to be fair the devs never expected that amount of ids to ever be reached
Some mods like United Pack has changed the limit
they could not have predicted this level of modding and bloat
have they now ?
true
tbh I complain about 16bit ints or shit but that's probably what I would have done because you don't need 42 mill items
can't wait
delusional ramblings of an old schizophrenic 😭
may a thousand bricks fall on his head this instant

yes
but is only a problem for really big projects (i only saw ONE mod with a problem with that limit) and, gamba
Oh come on, I bet that a lot of what he said is true, after all.
really the limit isn't a problem on the 99.9% of the mods
even on gamba it's fine tbh
Gamba and anomaly have other problems
Just a problem if u have a long save on soupmod ig
imagine play a soup
I really wanna try op 2.2
I know soup mods are broken as shit but it's part of the fun
what's soupmod
and u only noticed that when the character is dead since 8888888888 days ago
Yea but it doesn't really matter cause there's a hundred other characters giving a week long questline
mods made by schizos drug addicts
Basically OG stalker modpacks where there's no balance, just put as much mods as you can without the game crashing too much
that looks amazing
It's the spiritual opposite of gamma
Just add content because content, fuck balance or performance issues
that does sound like gamma though


Honestly if you haven't played one i'd recommend it, even if it's just for a couple hours
I was already interested, you don't have to sell it more to me 
yeah I think I will
I played AlternativA and is sooooooo interesting but
AlternativA is probably the most weird soupmod
Wdym
There is no not weird soupmods
yes most of it was sold :3
Oh god it's on TOP of OGSR ?
Okay i get what you mean lmao
that's true
and much more
mexican soupmod ?
AlternativA has more AlternativA dimensions than the future
Weird story based mod on top of ogsr I can smell the instability from here
is very stable
but is one of the biggest eat-RAM mods that i played
That's even weirder
Winter break's gonna be good
stalker tiem 
AlternativA has dynamic seasons
and passed 40 sessions u can select the season
too
apparently the plot of each campaign it's connected to the others
sooooo for explore properly the plot of AlternativA u must play as loner, military, bandit and ecologist
Replayability at its finest
I'm never finishing ts, but I'll check just to see
I already have so many mod/modpacks to try/play again, starting with Gamma
Still didn't play True Stalker
what mod makes your portrait change on outfit change, or how do you lock a portrait to never change
thank you
yall what is the keybind for change fire mod


@small ermine I caved in and bought Shit 2

It runs better than GAMBA on my system



Discounts 
yeah I got the Ultimate Edition
Redacted 2 also ran better out of the box for me too 
I'll be playing it later, but I am pleased to see it running a LOT better than it did at release
Now let's see if anon falls into the very obvious newbie traps
I have 2 playthroughs on it so I should be fine 

Back to Veteran then maybe Master
It should be even better later, since they are porting a lot of stuff to a newer UE version, but I'm sure that there will be new issues with that version 
im playing on master pure cbt experience 
when aren't u in a cbt experience

are u sure? 
I tried to hide my shit in the safe during the prologue and it no longer keeps the weapons 
😭
it keeps but not all
did they add an option to separate the quick use binds

shockingly accurate
yeah I got to keep ammo and meds which is still nice
i could keep smol ak too
u didnt put it there?
gdi I know there is a keyboard shortcut fix for this who knows it
gamma has decided to launch with 80% of the application off the screen
I just close the game if that happens

yeah it did work but I still gotta resize to fullscreen and back
crazy how often it happens
just switch from borderless to fullscreen and back
I did in fact just type that yeah

which way western men
4
i'd probably use the M1014 unless I knew I was gonna be hunting a chimaera
also depends on if I have a gunsmithing tools or not
M1014 is just more reliable if you care about not dying
If you don't care because you aren't on ironman then KS is the way funnier option
this one is 6
and u can attach PU scope to it 

worth
It's so damn rare though
I'm doing 3 runs at once and only ever found one, once. Thankfully, I found it early game, been using it ever since.
I've been having a ton of fun with my SPAS-12 recently
It's not "meta" compared to the Saiga-12 Tactical or whatever but who cares
will i be able to install gamma properly and without issues atm ?
YUP
M1014 is goated, ideally needs some recoil reduction upgrades to get the most out of it. But 10 shot semi auto is ridiculously good.
okay am I schizoing out or are there like 500x more random sounds
that just aren't tied to actual mutants
I can explain...
7k
at least on hard
good money for a day 1 find the stash mission
me waste on lockpicks at mechanic but lockpick no go into inventory
now me have another problem to fix before I proceed


acutally just straight ripped 5k out of my inventory when I pressed buy, put them right back in the shops inventory
I haven't even been able to open a box yet

guy just stole my money and gave me no lockpick
seggs
Yeah delete it
dude please

new atmospherics looks amazing!!!!
Found the american 
(Yes I'm jealous)
The m1014 isn't legal in canada
Also owning guns isn't as straightforward
@blissful ivy
explain this
you little criminal
it is
sorry
benelli m4
technically same thing


WAIT
when was this bill passed?
WHAT?
yet they dont give a shit if i take it out the house to the range?

is what it is, i will take the win
wow for the first time in months i go to do a fresh install first time installing it fully grabs all 553 mods great job as always grok
Liberal govt. Every thursday is a new gun restriction
good
restrict more guns
yeah that bill was passed literally 2 years before i bought the damned thing
so it clearly isnt illegal

or they dont actually care about the m4 or something
no idea
ah well, good to know its meant to not be sold but still got sold
its literally registered with the government, so they saw what went in front of them, read the name and specifications and went "Yup, looks good."

so it's -5% now?

damn
yes
i'm in debt now 
Honestly, restrict guns in america. Canada's fine so far.
But I agree
we are not fine
but yes
We're not perfect, but we could be so much worse.
i think theres more restrictions than needed, besides what does restricting even do?
criminals wont look at the list of illegal weapons and go "Oh gee I better turn this illegal, unregistered firearm in to the proper authorities"
doesnt do anything if you think about it

anyways, politics dont belong in this chat or discord, so we shouldnt continue this conversation
Restricting is working tbh, it's not perfect, we're restricting too much, but until north america as a whole can stop being murderous gun nuts, we won't achieve that sweet spot.
You're right, I'll close on the fact that we probably actually agree, but the nuance is huge.
maybe, just not the place, these are conversations for private

Stop talking about dumbshit politics and start talking about how you can run stalker 2 on a 1080ti at 1080p 60fps (with fsr on ultra perf)
Absolutely
We're stopping, just a tagent
Game looks like shit and like what people were saying stalker 2 at launch looked like but honestly I think it’s funny as shit
god forbid people talk about literally anything other than stalker on #╓☢stalker-chat
smh
how do i get new hippobot lighting stuff
it's not out yet
IM ABOUT TO BUST ALLOVER MY SCREEN!
hmmm where did the coffee in the zone go?
like sid is not selling it, there is no craft for it in the cooking item
try to do a heart while spraying
lemes spell your name beside it 🫂
how good is SVDS? ive seen people talk about it, but it seems kinda meh
if it floats your boat, why the hell not
go for headshots, upgraded its pretty decent. used to be the best semiauto DMR on the Soviet manufactor side
Butcher sells it
ma man, back to garbage it is
does he only sell the cans, or is there still grounded coffee in the zone? i had like a 1 year break
it really dosent, im just bellowe average IQ
as long as you happy thats fine
I only seen grounded coffee there, oh wait yeah there’s the normal cans.
Still gotta make it on the stove
UDP-9 any good? Just had one drop
is BHSRO any fun to play with or is it just painful
when i say fun i mean: does it make combat more interesting
It can do, but not really that much..
You can get broken limbs if a limb reaches zero, but a lot of the time you’ll be dead before that happens until the mid game
Also the crafting recipes are busted and you can make crazy money out of a 2 item recipe haha
disabling the limbs system completely is what makes the combat fun 
It’s basically additional monotony that can impact combat by making it stressful if you’re in a bad spot
If you like mags / FDDA strict mask a lot then maybe it’s for you.
lootboxes are goated
it bold of you to asume i havent done that

both my daughter's and my dogs collage funds were lost and it was my consolation prize
What weapon pack adds the m24?
Im 500k Ru in debt to dushman, he’s going to kill me
i am pretty sure its just the base gamma weapon pack
Huh, I thought the awsm and m98b were the only .338 lapuas
Thanks
I gotta go look at the weapon menu in debug I guess
does anyone have a list of guns in GAMMA with calibre change upgrades?
as of current patch
So I see the m24 is disabled, did you turn on disabled weapons to get it to drop?
Or spawn it through debug?
i got it through lootboxes
There isn't a list
cause it's a very niche thing to do
i know abt
most C 556/545 rifles
bizon
some pistols?
svd for some reason
Do you have to download the lootbox mod to your gamma profile or is it a disabled mod you can enable? Just curious, I'm not at my PC
No 5.56 can be converted to 5.45
i downloaded the mod
Thanks, I'll give it a look
rlly?
The RD47 can be converted to 5.56 iirc?
Yeah 
SVDS can be converted to 5.56 as it shares the same Upgrade Preset as the AK74
is there any reason to do that?
Because funny
because whoever made it was lazy and it is common for modders to use existing presets
fair enough
holy im tuff
funny enough rogue has supposably the second biggest ballz in the zone
Dissassemble being right under details is the sickest joke I've ever witnessed.
he looks retired
did you quicksave?
That weapon uses old scopes, I remember charging the file to delete it and putting another weapon
Don't remember if I shared it through

the scope isnt that bad imo
It just doesn't fit with all the others
so in that logic a lot of different weapons with integraded scopes dont fit
It's not because it's integrated, it just looks old 
my point still stands
@small ermine Zalissya still laggy as shit
but man does it feel nice, QoL and shit is very noticeable

got an rpg out of my first lootbox, blew myself up with it about 10 mins later
we try again tomorrow bros
okay well in my defense
if I had anyting but a literal leather jacket on I probably live the blast
The radius in GAMMA ain't as close to realism as stuff like C:DDA thankfully. I shot a LAW in C:DDA at something that was like 45m away and that shit STILL damaged my body armor with shrapnel.
Nearly FPSRussia'd myself. 
it was my fault for firing it inside the hangar in garbage
curved the slightest bit the right and detonated 10 yards closer than I had planned
Anon

I got 1080 60 on a 1080ti lol
Like an hour ago, I was doing a bunch of base building and inventory management.
Riperoni, it's a lesson, I guess
Funniest shit ever cause it looks ass

you can also use level load autosave or sleep save
Oh boy I love forced upscaling enshittification to reach 60 fps in modern gaming.
what did you disassemble even?
Can't wait to play my new game while wearing goggles covered in grease.
Monster Hunter Wilds has sort of the same issue.
If you don't use DLSS it runs like hot garbage, and using DLSS makes it look like hot garbage. Lesser of two evils I guess.
-# I even have a 3060.
I mean, I shouldn’t even be able to run it in the first place
My one good armour
ah who needs armor
Good optimization has finally done its job
I'll just be more mindful and save more often if I'm inventory managing
Breaking news:
Naked man deletes fanatic cult with fireaxe
It's playable 
I usually favourite my armour but I Didn't this time around cause I'm a dumbass lmao
Does it lock it out? 
I always just assumed it bunched it at the top so it was less likely to be chosen on accident while disassembling other stuff.
last I remember you cannot dissasemble favorited gear without a special modifier
It doesn't HE LIED TO US
There's an option in the settings to require holding ALT to disassemble things.
That's for ALL disassembly.
And is not on by default.
probably worth throwing on
Ya
hybird
i crave a donut filled with custard covered in sugar
until you get into the habit of always pressing it
and then dissasemble your armor anyway
It will at least stop you from disassembling things you meant to favorite.
Bet
Duuuuuuuuuuuude I crave pouding chomeur
Me finally getting a fucking ACE drop (they kept not spawning because my scavenging wasn't a high enough level yet)
are Freedomers always in combat at the Barrier?
i just approached the barrier because i had a package to find and one single freedomer just instantly gunned me down
ACE + Sphere, or that one heavy black gas mask that still has some pretty good BR but really high rad resist + meds to cover gaps is still basically the best non-exo you can get for overall stuff.
I guess that many slots is useful since most artefacts don't degrade now.
Only one pelt though.
I wish I could use chimera and pseudogiant but... 
What's the best medium armor?
I don't even use my belt slots tbg
how do you artifact hunt, just slam medkits while running through anomalies
though tbf
certain anomalies will just smoke you through 90% res
cause kek double u
Why would I artifact hunt if I don't use artifacts
Money
Easier to take a kill quest
supplemental income gang
Artifacts don't really sell for enough in my experience
it's more the uh
tasks
"bring me a goldfish"
some payout quite well
also phantom stars go hard
Fuse 3 soul together with melter, turn in 99% soul on a task, recieve like 45k.
Easy.
notes maybe I'll look around
I also like artefacts that give me a bunch of carry weight and stamina regen because I got places to be.
For now I've got drug kits 
Current if I'm carrying less than 80kg I have unlimited sprint
Enough stamina regen can let you sprint even at yellow carry weight.
And I am a loot goblin.
I will routinely be like 170kg/165. 

Backpack + outfit + artefacts/attachments + lurker meal.
Still not enough carry weight.
so elong
Mmm drug making
Call me goose please
Just chimera pelt camel pack and titanium frame
better than nothing I guess
i'd at least try to get 1 load bearing artifact
goes a long way early game
I'm in mid game
Early or Mid don't matter, it's a simple matter to craft a kolobolk and that's a pretty nice kg increase.
Lobster Eyes is relatively simple, too. Dunno if that's got weight on it tho.
I just don't see a reason to use em
No reason to not. It's not 0.9.1 any more.
They don't degrade.
Just get 'em, wear 'em, get benefits. Period.
Very few have downsides big enough to matter.
They don't even irradiate you now, so you don't need to balance out wearing ones with rads- with the more powerful ones.
Except for the death lamp. That one still gives you mega turbo cancer.
They never degraded
Id rather use my slots for other equipment
but what if instead of your titanium frame you just had an artifact instead that gave you 3x the carry weight
I swear I better not be getting Mandella'd with this. I definitely remember artefacts losing efficiency over time if you wore them. Now it seems to only be the perk ones.
it was only ever perkifacts
Or... I could have a titanium frame and feel like iron man
People don't have enough brain power to make up for the downsides
I guess fair
idk i'm a belt-o-holic
Is my ass really that dumb?
Can I not remember simple things from barely a year ago?

Didn't it used to have a pretty hefty stamina regen penalty? 
I dunno, maybe it's changed a bunch and I just can't remember any of them concretely lmao.
yeah it makes it turbo ass to use with the ballistic artis
I just can't imagine seeing half the artifacts in the game and going
"yeah i'd rather use a titanium frame"
most T1 artis are more impactful
camelback is a certified misery banger tho i'll let that slide
Any of the T2s with weight on them also have stuff on them like 10% resist to ballistic or rupture which is real nice, especially if you ACTUALLY use morphine and such for the additional passive damage resistance.
You can actually eat quite a few hits even with sub-par armor if you prepare right.
That being said, the tier 4 kevlar plate is nice for a lot of BR if you wanna run around in a rad suit instead.
Have fun getting the base kevlar plate to craft up into it though. Pretty sure that's only available as a drop.
T2 traders sell it
assuming no miracles happened in terms of coop ey ? Its been a while since i was around here.
It's not really
Nope. Best you've got is CRCR for in-game IRC chat with other folk. No multiplayer still.
5BRC increase isn't significant unless you are running around the South constantly
yeah thought as much :< ill keep dreaming xD
...Is the max plate only 5BR now? I swear I remember it being like +15, which atop whatever your base armor had could really help hit break points... I mean it's still nice % resist but... Hmm...
The so called Multiplayer scam went from having paid Installation guides to pay to Install so you can imagine how is that going
It has always been 5BRC
rofl yeah i remember mention of the scammy / virussy coop stuffnthings
There's planned changes to make it not craftable with Expert Tools and possibly increase how much BRC it provides
is there a way to adjust gun positioning on your screen?
Ye right now it's pretty bad
what do we consider the 2nd best medium armor after ACE?
ACE isn't medium
ACE is heavy.
oh right, sorry, pre 0.9 brain
But I guess the Voyager or Wastelander
I like the Tactical Stalker Suit but I'm a loot gremlin so the 25kg pulls a lot of weight there.
Literally.
SSPs easily take the best in category if you have the Artifacts for it
^
Was it... Emerald or Diamond that was the best overall?
I haven't used a nerdsuit in a long time.
Orange one
Topaz? Huh.
Balanced resistances and 7 belt slots
ok so besides ACE what do we consider the best heavy?
Fair 'nuff! The other colors are weighted in one way or another.
Monolith/unisg/freedom proto exo
Generally UNISG/Monolith stuff is gonna be the best you can get your hands on that isn't straight up the ACE.
I don't remember exactly what exo is the best. UNISG? I know it ain't Loner. That thing is a joke. 
Ace is closet to third best I guess
it used to be +12 like in the stone age
Maybe I'm just old... 
What was the main breakpoint you wanted to look for again? Wasn't it like 52 or something?
Or is that the AP you want because of AI helmet values? 
-# I don't remember, it's been a while since I was told by momo.

It’d stop exactly 1 bullet from being able to bleed and then go under 52 BR class
really? i thought protos were really bad, ik groks working on the rebalance but i havent seen anyone using them yet
Yeah I'm not a fan of BRC
7 Belt Slots + Carry Weight
Use belt slots to make up for resistances with artis.
Easily make up for the lack of Resistances with Artifacts
What matters in Armor for the Mid - End Game are Belt Slots 
just slam a titanium grid in there you will pop off
they still get outclassed by full exos right?
I dunno if I broke something in my game but the titanium grid doesn't do weight any more. It's like... psy resistance? Its description also doesn't fit inside of its UI box.
It's just the aluminum frame that gives kg.

Honestly, Exo / Nosorog are not worth it
ig its not super important since theyre getting reworked
Exo is worth it IF you have more money than you know what to do with it and you can afford to constantly buy batteries.
fun hater detected
But yeah most poeople choose to stick with ACE or the nerdsuit with 7 slots.
What "Fun"
They're just not worth in general
You don't feel unstoppable in them and you can get similar results with any other Armor with Belt Slots
They give a lot of weight, sure, but they're expensive as fuck, you overcap resistances super easy which is worthless, and they're LOUD.
and does that affect gameplay
you can adjust servo volume in mcm
it's also super low by default
When I can't hear 3 boars on my cheeks til they hit me because of veee vrrr veee vrrr veee vrrr I'd say yes. 
uh,,you ok strelok?
I'd use Exo / Nosorog Armor if they were actually worth going for, but they're not
And it's a complaint I've had as it's an Armor class locked behind a 4% Drop
bro fent posing
Leftover powers the c-con gave him.
people overhype the shit out of power armors for numbers
when the blue hazmat exists
and is accessible since the start of the game
like sure power armor looks and feels cool
but numbers aren't the reason to preach for them
The only real benefit to exos is that they don't suddenly drop below 65% resistance after you get hit once, but even that's not that important since a lot of things seem to eat through your resistances anyway.
bro NEEDS to be given unfit to help
65% + 32% fire resistance and the funny blue burners still do 80% of my health if my pinky toe touches them.
but GUYS oh my god A UNISG NOSOROG GUYS OH MY GOD
And I've said it plenty of times, they don't feel like End Game armor as the End Game focus is around Artifacts which easily make up for most of your Resistances
interesting sight choice
I got a pso-1 on my vintorez and I do like how the sight looks. Even has a toggle for lit and unlit.
@small ermine Was the Journalist shit part of the Deluxe / Ultimate content
Kinda cute to have a Mercenary armor similarly placed like the one you find in SoC
so if you kill the doctor at the first quest of the storyline you get a bunch of quests to investigate laboritories, what are these? Is there any consequence for killing the doctor?
cut content from CoC
you explore labs then gain access to the war lab which has broken dialog and reused soc cutscenes
there is no consequences for killing Doctor
Thanks!
deluxe ye
Damn they have it easier 
imho the only deluxe edition item worth the mention is the red vector
and solely because of the unique long barrel
which just looks cool but that's it
you can get it extremely early too
considering the vector doesn't exist until like 60% through the game
Really appreciating every change they have made since release
Everything feels nice, although I still complain about Quick Use being bound to Hold and Animations being cancelled with ease
also the shotgun in pripyat
I really wanted to try that one out when I had the game in Game Pass
Guess I'll be able to do so now
If I find, of course
simply ||creamapi|| it
I bought Ultimate since it's on sale and I think it'll be nice to be able to access the DLC as soon as it is released
but at release, Game Pass only had the Base game so I missed out on the cool and unique weapons some people got
Funny how the Monolith PTM is worse than Skif's pistol, thought they would tweak it
all pistols are worse than skif's makarov
Yeeah
and it's not like you can go like "well okay i'm finna just not use it" but you can't even fucking remove it from your inventory
Bound as a Quest Item, but oh well
I guess I have no choice but to keep using it
Me when I do literally anything and then press shift: woops do it again
Anyone know a fix for these little radar dishes in truck cemetary?
Weird, huh?

No, Lol. They're in the middle of truck cemetary.
They sure are, lmao.
True.
They're like stupid shiny for some reason, and far off they're black, so you see them through dense fog and stuff. Very disgusting looking.
Unfortunately you're probably right.
Or didnt care
Also true.
Eh, they're also located in Jupiter.
Lmao
At least it weighs near nothing

to check your underwear
ar actually nothing if you just unload it
Dx8 gamma on top
What are some good light armors? For general use, so overall combat defenses and radiation protection are more important than anomaly protection
Any medium armor
so I shouldn't bother repairing light armor at all? just soldier on until I get advanced tools?
That's what I do
Medium armor is peak
I'll keep my starter armor repaired till medium tho
Whatever you can find
that's what I've been doing
Some factions get insanely good starter armour though like UNISG armour
yeah, hence the question
i guess it doesn't matter in the long run
medium armor is the one you'll be using a long time before you get to endgame gear
I would try and find one with plenty of slots, doesn’t matter which but if it can take a few artifacts and a pelt it’s good
Most medium armours have good protection either way but belt slots for artifacts and hides and if you’re lucky stuff line plates will let you make it a lot stronger
Nice.
I recently saw battle royale in AW between:
Unisg, Duty, Freedom and military.
holy moly, hiring a bodyguard is OP! just started a duty playthrough, hired a master loner for 3k and he basically soloed a series of defend the point in garbage. Got a supressed, fully repaired AK-74M (all parts green). I'm gonna milk the fuck out of this guy
best light suit should be, uhm...
the better merc starting suit (idk the name rn)
This is how you deadcheck a snork.
