Monolit has em
I believe that only happens as you rank up, you might be spending too much time in the south.
me when I run into 3 renegades in dead city 2 minutes into my merc playthrough and 2 of them have AWSM's
it happens
Dead City is an outlier, it's like a no-man's-land of south and north, I swear.
cope answer
No I am talkin' legit. Spawns packs of like 5 Karlik on game start sometimes.
Just another Merc L.
Only time I've ever seen them besides stashes is during the Barrier defense
Dead city is a place
Oh, right, speaking of; anybody have a quick and dirty on how to make Mercs shut the fuck up in bases?
If I have to hear "REAL FUNNY GUYS" one more time I might go hug a Controller. 
The appartments are THE best base spot icl
Blow their heads off
Some of the eggheads use Merc lines.
there's a mod in Mo2
turn both of these merc voices off
pretty sure
Jokes on you, that is the controller messing with you
will default back to regular non-english voices
No, their loot got worse
At least a few updates ago, I'd imagine still, I'd say at least some southern factions had way too bad weapons often
Like mid rank mercs often had shotguns and SMGs, not a lot of rifles
am I playing a different game than yall
I'm fine with English for Mercs, I just want specific lines gone. 
Or maybe be more lore-friendly and make the mercs speak French because in-lore most of them are French for some reason lmfao.
day 1 wild territory 2/3's of the mercs there have rifles
Monolith Control Center/Sarcophagus used to be perfect for getting like any weapon you want
Now it's meh
Brother got the alternate reality Gamma
my south is just magically 10x deadlier than everyone elses 
no wonder I spend so much time getting spam killed in the south
That's mostly a skill issue I think
Nah, Mercs start out with 5.56 shit in my run too. Garbage was a pain for me day 2 because of a squad of 4 of 'em.
The game is bs half the time tbh

If your wish is to die horribly and/or crash your game, the vehicles are a great choice yea
I have had similar issues with merc weapons, fortunatly they all suck ass at aiming normally
okay i'm gonna ask the dumb question @wheat leaf @last mesa what difficulty do yall play on
But also remember that higher 'tier' doesn't necessarily mean better. A few D-tier weapons aren't very good. Like that grease gun lookin' 9x39 gun with the skeleton stock and stamped steel magazine I don't remember the name of. I see that pretty often.
on avg a rifle will be better than an smg on an NPC
regardless of if it's an adar or M4
I always play Hard/Surv, no changes to any of the settings.
The humble Toz bandit
"Real funny guys" and "I'm gonna take your girlfriend out" make me want to paint the ceiling red
I've killed people in the DC base over it before
This is why merc is bad

Agreed
Loner superiority
Reason # 17 out of 14,982.
Well, that clearly means it is better
I have considered trying to make a mod that just deletes those lines
It has motivated me to make a base away from the dead city hq because those lines fire every five seconds while I’m crafting
Highest
It's likely as easy as finding the .ogg files for them, deleting them, and removing any calls to those files from the voices .ltx files, but I am too square-brained to do that.
Difficulty doesn't impact loadouts
Money mainly
Base difficulty is how much damage you take, progression difficulty is how much money things cost/sell for, not sure if it affects anything else (other than starting gear choices)
I'm going to hunt down the files right now, will let you know where they are and what they're called
And now there's a green barrel sig 550. During my pistol-only run. Game, why are you like this.
Where were these drops when I wasn't limiting myself.
huh?
imma try to do some base building :3
Good luck! I have zero interior design skills so I just end up with a vice, stash, and fridge in a corner somewhere that has traders nearby. 
literally just remove
lang = "eng"```

Again, the majority of the lines are fine to me. Hearing english tips me off to who's around, and most lines don't grate. It's just those ones.
In my merc playthroughs I like to making my hideout inside the crate fort in Dead City's base
"Oh real funny, real funny guys"
i think gonna be a pain in the asse to haul 600kg of crap from rostok to jupiter :3
something something "You know what's bad about being on the frontlines? No women"
waaa, extremely immuhsive truly tactical operator elite squad task force special op psy op black op speech 
"Take your girlfriend out... Cus you're here for four more months, I'll check in on her, that alright?"
@wheat leaf "GAMMA/mods/8- Better Merc voicelines - YankeeGolf/gamedata/sounds/characters_voice/human/killer_2/states/idle/" idle_8 and idle_9
Man, why does the FNP-45 get cool reloads when it isn't even one of the good pistols that can take upgrade kits
Anomalous Stash helps alleviate a lot of my loot gremlin problems.
Also I use The Collector (shameless personal list for that plug https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1214325379704037517 ) so it's nice to be able to get new shit and slap it into one wherever I am. No need to constantly run back to Cordon/Garbage to interact with stuff.
screw upgrades, use guns for their aesthetics and anims
Nice. Now we just need to find what scripts call for those voice lines so we don't get random CTD whenever one tries to play.
nah
Or just replace them with dummy files
missing sounds just get skipped
oh, nice.
That's good to know actually.
x_ray crashes for so many other inane reasons so I can never be sure. 
I'm just gonna replace them with 250db screaming
Honestly preferable. 
id know since i disabled voiced actor while having low psi health to no downsides 
replace the merc idle lines with skibidi rizz gyatt ohio

Removed from both base Better Mercs and the GAMMA edits to it, fingers crossed.
Oh, INVERNO had an update. Says it 'got rid of unnecessary ambient noises'. Hopefully that means no more phantom dog barks. That's one thing I've always liked about GAMMA is that you only hear mutants that are actually nearby.
I've been playing with inverno and there's alot still, unless it just updated within the last 2 days
Literally today. 6 hours ago.
Ye.
Yeah, it's just changes to sound stuff, shouldn't even need to delete your shader cache.
Though you can if you wanna be safe.

@royal ferry Follow this: #╭📖faq message
hello , i saw something along the lines of Stalker gamma being accessible in GOG now ? if thats true thats incredible
no it's not true
all fake
the goverment is trying to trick you into buying Stalker 2
Got a task to take out some random Monolith in army warehouses. Fine, easy money.
already did that mistake
Random Monolith with heavy armor and a fucking Saiga-12: I CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT SPACE COWBOY
I gotta say man
nothing makes me more angry than a dog legit taking 100% of my leg health in 1 swipe
it did zero actual health damage, but it permanently crippled me
That's why cats can sometimes be more dangerous than bigger beasts
A single chimera's loud and once you are aware of it, dodging it is fine, but getting your leg shanked by some tiny cat that immediately cripples you and causes comically strong bleeding can be way worse because then you get ripped to shreds by the rest of the pack
I don't think a single hit should ever 100% a leg
just silly
maybe if a psuedogiant earthquaked my legs sure
speaking of a psuedogiant just ran into one + a chimaera in dead city

"BHS is so immersive and makes healing have additional thought!"
Also BHS:
How do you even deal with pseudogiants seriously. im tired of wasting hp rounds and grenades it pmo
Never use those
Jump when hand touches ground
Sell them get enough for MATCHBOX..
I need a video of a guy doing it like 5x back to back cause jumping has never worked for me
every time i've tried i've lost a save
oh? i noticed it never works because i jump while its mid animation
Would if I could be bothered to reinstall gamma
maybe thats the issue
Or you know
bro doesnt savescum
I wasn’t at work right now lol
Me too Bud. Tough life
I just hear people say it everytime it's brought up, i've spawned them in with debug to try it multiple times but no matter where during the slap I jump I still get hit
Jump at the very end of the slap
Literally as hand touches ground
Bigger issue is that it takes 3 completed tasks to have enough ammo to even kill one
idk i've jumped at that exact time before it just leads to me still getting hit
Do you want the help or not
I sincerely apologize mr healthbar
I'd say to keep practicing
It is possible to dodge, the timing can be weird for it
i'll just have to go back into debug at some pointand fuck with it
not worth risking mostly in a real run
That thing. Your pseudogiant hide. Hand it over.
shoutout to these 2 chimaeras and psuedogiant for nearly clearing out the whole merc base
Was always curious why there's no meat on pseudogiants. Is it because they're human-like? Snorks still give their hands...
free loot
Probably too tough
They're nearly bulletproof in lore, so yeah, the meat is probably too tough to chew through
It's apparently a show of how hard you are for Bandits.
It is cannibalism
depends on who you ask
Snorks are literally mutated humans.
I want to eat a poltergeist. See the supernatural, eat the supernatural.
yeah but how far mutated until it's far enough from the baseline
to be considered not human
what if u could eat artifacts. could be Fire
Artifacts are food for your cool and good friend Lucifer.
Brother it's still a human but horribly mutated 
I wish i got that thing
i watched cheekib use it on invictus run my goat
Yeah but it can go far enough to shatter the idea that you're eating a human right
like I could probably eat an elongated fracture arm
and feel okay about myself
the rest of it's body is fused to the clothing
probably fucks with the taste
I mean, if you can keep Lucifer fed, there are no downsides and a LOT of upsides.
It's just, y'know, keeping it fed.
The smart thing to do would be to craft all the artifacts you want and assemble a healthy hoard of them before using Knot.
How does this work. I thought Gamma just downloads the mods from moddb, and that's already kinda not how they wanna do this.
Are all the mods just now on GOG? Did they all sign off on this?
idk bro scroll back the past day for any questions
Though that would be an interesting challenge run if you started out with Lucifer already going
The first few hours would be pretty dang rough

#📢announcements message this post answers literally every question you just wrote
i think starting with lucifer going is more of a detriment than a buff
not because of having to babysit it
but because the only actual upside is the carry weight bonus
the movement speed boost will make you take fall damage everywhere as early game armor all have high movespeed bonuses
and the damage reduction is just 12.5 multiplicative
and like yeah it's across the board but it's not really going to make that much of a difference in practice
and it only becomes less noticeable the more damage reduction you get from other sources
momo technical yap session 
It has health regen too doesn't it? I haven't used it myself yet
it's not even technical
it's just gameplay
ye but is that going to help either
it's nice to have for sure
as soon as there are reductions and numbers involved, I take it as technical 🥒
but it's not going to make you be able to take cover in a gunfight for a few seconds and then pop back up at full health
especially considering bhs as a mechanic
I think I would be much more likely to use it at a later point in my playthrough as a "win-more" sort of thing since most of its benefits can be obtained without it
which is how much
that's pretty good
pretty sizeable, Chimera Hide goes hard too though at least I'm fairly certain it also has mad carry weight
yeah and that also has health regen iirc
It's an item that I always saw and never had to balls to really try it since I didn't know how fast or slow it's condition dropped
imagine the movespeed
You'd need it to farm anomalies for artifacts to keep five fucking Lucifers fed
actually how would it pick which to feed
movespeed above like 130 is unusable because of fall damage tho
you just can't move anymore
it would be funny for like 0.5 seconds
you mean it has a similar effect of riding over a pebble on a skateboard at speed?
Five Lucifers, the Redline jacket, and an epipen
and a dream
Wow that's the first time i see UNISG mf :3
also small question, if i clear the bandit base at dark valley for exemple, will other faction will take control ?
nope, more bandits will respawn there eventually
so i suppose it's an warfare only thing ?

here i am clearing CNPP and then suddenly a renegade 4-man squad jumpscare 
shooting at me with yee yee ass dollar store buckshot
No one expects the Renegade hitsquad
my aim sure has gotten worse, that took around 300AP rounds, 300FMJ rounds, and 100AP 9mm rounds 
this is a mental screenshot
why is the shotgun on 5 and the pistol on 2
yes.
this just looked a bit too absurd i had to get it
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltx-all-weapons-in-all-slots-sidearm-slot

85 different calibers
3 parts of the forbidden one next to the beans & coffee
131 units of lean to make ammo with (????)
gauss ammo despite using a sig 550
Horrifying
at least you are not a cargo truck with 5k kg carry capacity 
even with extra mods I don't think i've ever gotten over 400kg
I always thought zombies were just mumbling gibberish. I had no idea they were actually saying anything. This really makes it so much more sad https://youtu.be/mNPQggI4hfc
"The loners call them lost souls. The scientists call them anomalies in human form. But the truth is crueler... they are proof that the Zone never lets go."

Dying light - Revival [My personal edit]
#stalker #stalker2 #stalkersoc
i'm beggin you game I need advanced tools 
just the EXP mod is good enough, plus level 27 str is adequate 
sooner or later i will own every gun
the 2x1 devices pain me
what are those mosin sprites
also why is the vanilla anomaly sks there
and the val
what is going on
TFW you're a Freedomer making a milk run to deliver a package to bandits and two Renegades in exo take that personally
mosin is from kmack's mosin trio... as for the rest, i have no idea
i just pick them up from dead monolits and projections, i think...
6x2 devices when 
I would say so if they were placed at the bottom of your inventory
yeah, i really should be using the mark as favorite and trash feature
John Gamma claims another
i should get myself a christmas pfp 
@timber flower ask him 
On it 🫡

gotta love this time of year
you should be enemy to all of humanity
for that
The game keeps giving me good green barreled rifles when I'm trying to only use pistols
May I please have a Christmas hat. I will pay you with a high five and a ham sandwich
and here i was about to use this 


Many thanks, the ham sandwich and high five will reach you in three to five business days
requesting a santa hat so I can swap from the previous years one

also just ran into my first flesh almost 2 days in

there's so few of them what happened
I've been hunting them for bacon
seen 3 chimaeras and 1 flesh so far
Yeah usually I would hoard the meat to cook later on but there have just been none
Absolute legend
I just took two Lost Signal tasks from two different factions
The two missing squads died in the exact same place
sitting at 3 basic tools and get 2 yellow stashes, either gonna get advanced tools or enough basic to craft it
2 back to back gunsmithing tools
it seems like 90% of lost signals are to that one multi-story apartment building in meadow
there's actually 2 spawn areas, either there or down at the houses, depending on where you enter from
nah its more then 2
no?
its either in the factory area or the village
4 spawns
"area"
I mean, it's Meadow. It's such a microscopic, insignificant area that if you removed it half of the players probably wouldn't even notice.
Same with Darkscape, which is only somewhat made better by the fact you can use cars.
okay i've ran into this exact issue inside this anomaly like 9 times
what is the path to get to this artifact
without getting blasted by the electros
remove truck cemetary, dark valley, darkscape, and meadows and i dont think anyones even going to bat an eye tbh
literally places ive never go to
To be fair, Truck Cemetery connects Army Warehouses/Dark Valley for Freedom/Merc/Bandit players
nvm I just yolod it and got it
And Dark Valley is basically Bandit HQ
remove CNPP 
the "east" side of the (southern) map does seem way less developed than the center and west sides in general
Remove Generators
Literally no reason to go to Generators except in endgame quests
in this house the meadow is a cool little peaceful map, end of story
It'd be nice if Generators at least had premium artifact spawns to justify dragging your ass all the way over there, but no, it has next to jack shit in that department
it does
theres just some places you only go through once or not at all 
I mean I'm pretty sure Limansk can as well and it's right there, north of Dead City
disable all fast travel cost, drop a stash at generators 
Yes, finally got a Five-SeveN. Now I can actually shoot Stalkers worth a damn
Doing a pistols only run, and Five SeveN is one of the only pistols that has AP ammo worth a damn
laughs in 9x18 and 9x19 AP
Also, you can slap a LAM and an optic on a Five-SeveN
Another half decent AP pistol would be the Gyurza but its (only) ammo doesn't have as much penetration
i thought the shrimp was beloved by all
haven't used a pistol in a while
well, other than my trusty strayer voigt infinity
Guys I am new to stalker and the zone is whooping my ass, any tips?
APS chads rise up
Tell us what’s beating your ass and what you’re using and we may have some insight
get companions and use them as meat shields
just don't die
what are you deaf? what are you here?
Collect any weapons with green condition barrels. Normally, you'd need the corresponding repair kit to fully fix up a gun, but you can field strip everything but the barrel from a gun and replace it with parts you find or buy.
don't pick up the bread
Bread isn’t in 0.94 lmao
Sadly he won't respond
He's only a Novice
If you haven't found a set of basic tools, you can trade (a lot of) Nemiroff vodka to an NPC in Yantar for one.
Back to cordon he goes
give the thot in cordon 8 snork hands for a basic toolkit
plus a toz 194...
and 20 buckshot rounds
its toz and buckshots u need to give for basic toolkit
Shotguns are an affordable option to deal with mutants as many are A or B grade, buckshot is dirt cheap, and most mutants you deal with in the early game can't shrug off buckshot to the face
Get a santa hat
Shoot Hip in the face 20-250 times

GAMMA complete
I have a video where i play Loner for 1 hour, chatting about all kinds of stuff from combat to mechanics, want a link?
I need to get my hands on a RSH-12 and I'm basically set for my pistol only run. Though I wouldn't even be able to repair it until much later on unless it drops with a green barrel.
Get a Skorpion, automatic pistols count right?
skorpion is not in fact a pistol
Eh, I mentally filed machine pistols and compact SMG's as a no.
Actually it is
It's a machine pistol, not an SMG
but it's semantics
unable to one hand, cant put in melee slot
Because if I could use anything I could fit in a pistol slot, that includes stuff like the SR-2M Veresk or the P90, and that feels too easy.
ngl the GAMMA MP7 and P90(???) as pistols, but not the actual machine pistols like the Skorpion pisses me off lol
I could see the MP7 and the SR-2M being one handed
But not the P90
And the Skorpion was made to be used one-handed or two handed
That was like the whole point
We need someone to mod in that Kel-Tec monstrosity pistol that takes P90 magazines
This abomination
much better than that
stuff and things st50, a modification of keltek p50
Guess who is installing GAMMA to continue working on the Weapon Drop sheet
this dumbass
TC is very unique and very scary justifying its existence by a ton of stash locations from quests in AW and Rostok. Gives a reason to visit it, there's some decent artifact hunting spots there. Wish there were some safe fast travel points in it to deal with the huge size but it's fine.
Meadows is small and charming, quests there are always nice because you don't need to chase anything over kilometers, also it has the unique gimmick of being extra likely to have gunsmithing/med tools
Dark Valley is bandit country and it's sick because the bandit and military bases are absolutely awesome, always a highlight of my freedom and merc runs
Darkscape can go fuck itself
we need to replace all D kit RDs with Korobov's designs
give them insanely good stats and watch EfTards have a meltdown over the aesthetics 
People really be saying TC is very unique and very scary when no one wants to go there and you can easily avoid every encounter by traveling by the side
TC is good hunting area i guess
hmm yes
yeah I like it for the occasional Chimera / Giant spawn
chimeras and bloodsuckers and giants are very common there for a southern map
I don't think I can avoid every encounter when I need to go through the middle to grab stashes/do quests, etc
Yes, I know
3rd world internet gang 
And I'm pointing out that is a pointless argument imo because you have things to do there in the scary parts!
calling it scary is bit of a stretch imo
my god, 2 kilo bits a second 
Darkscape’s sole redeeming factor is that it has cars so it doesn’t take you an eternity to travel through it to go literally anywhere else
maybe if you're going there as soon as you start
I'm pointing it out because you don't have to travel into the middle every time
just jump on the cars and look sround in TC
but if you have even a double barrel shotty you can handle just about anything
If I'm doing quests around dark valley, rostok or AW my first advanced tools are likely to come from TC
Truck Verometary to me is just a slog to run through, literally not even scary or difficult to deal with 
true
It went down to 3 Hours 
I don't need it but knowing moddb is having issues, might as well
although we might just be desensitized, nothing is scary anymore 
The last person in the world still using dial-up
I could just buy COP on GOG but
ehh
Me getting excited with the sound of distant Chimera / Giant fighting
Do you have to buy CoP on GOG to actually play GAMMA from there?
if the giant wins tho it feels so bad
Easy kill

really downloading GAMMA just to get good looking icons for the sheet 
Most likely going to be outdated for 0.9.5

ill be honest im scared of downloading gamma
400 mods or so no way anyone checked all the code for them
2 actually
ksg and rsh
then don't
is there any cool WP weapon that isnt an AK
AN 
yea i didn’t yet but it’s tempting
wp weapons when the variation is AK101 " Johnny " and AK101 " Robert "
yes
think so yeah
messed up
i swear vityaz is buffed no
and hp rounds
feels better to use than the hydrashock colt meta
ok i want to do normal non invictus ironman. it will still give me ironman achievement or whatever if i use the lifegranter thing?
20 charges, not 20 full bottles
does the lamp work with RF packages?
Yes. At least it did some long time ago, have not found a single lamp in a long time.
so, my mission "A cold blooded betrayal" keeps failing randomly, how do I prevent this so I cant acutally GO TO the quest to acutally do it?
cause it fails like...genuinely 10 minutes in, am I supposed to just teleport to it so I can complete it?
it gives me a -200 rep penalty and I cant even get to the quest area in time
how can i check if my run is still invictus valid?
link a SS of the PDA before accepting it
what i meant is how do i check if i can still achive invictus?
or if i should start a new save
as long as you dont use debug or change any settings you are fine,I'd install invictus protect mod just to be safe however
not you the guy right above you
says nothing about it being timed, seems to just be the stalker dying in the swamps to someone else
nothing I can do about it, just gotta eat the rep hit
link the task
could be a bad spawn in the south but can't tell if I can't see the task
link the task? like with the wiki?
I told you Its just the guy I have to kill getting killed by another guy, chill out man
I figured it out on my own, appreicate the attempt at help though
if its the quest where you have to intercept some guy and take his artifacts never ever do those quests
yes
there's body loot claim in gamma,its impossible to achieve those quests unless you kill the mfs that killed your mf
yep
Okay so you never really wanted help you just wanna complain
the quest auto fails if someone kills the first guy
I did want help I figured it out on my own
you have to loot that guy and you have to kill the guy you are supposed to kill,I'd just not take it at all,if you do hurry there and make sure you killed him
(or disable loot claim which I dont know how and tbh kind of feels wrong)
you just disable this in mo2
yeah I bet if you disable this mod you can do those quests %100
the quest auto fails if the guy you are sent to kill dies, regardless of where the artifact is
so, that doesnt help sadly
damn
its just kill him first before someone does it for you, thats all
in that case you'd need to rush like a mf
I figured that out after debug-moding myself over
yeah
didnt know it worked like that, now i do
another way they can fail is if it spawns a monolith or sin member south of AW and sometimes even in AW
second you enter the map they despawn
oh right because of stupid no exos in south
which also disables certain faction members in the south without actually telling you unless you lookup the mod in moddb
!scavenging
If your Scavenging skill level is too low, items have a chance to despawn from the bodies you loot:
- Nosorog exoskeletons (85%)
- Cz-M10 Spartan helmets (50%)
- other items except weapons and armor (0.25-4%)
To avoid the despawn your Scavenging skill has to be level 17 or higher.
Additionally, in order to loot an outfit or a helmet from a body a certain rank value is required. The requirement is almost negligible, rank value as small as 7000 is enough to meet a rank requirement for any equipment.
We live in a society
is there a way to see and browse mods that are good to have on top of gamma
here on discord i mean
Just got c con, hd models, hd teztures and project twilight reshade. my game looks fucking amazing
Runs well ontop of that. 90-110fps
god bless this guy who made hd models mod this is crazy
where can i find hd models
550 mods not enough for ya? 
no am completly fine dude, i just played thousand of hours of standard gamma thats why
That’d be at least 7 hours per week since GAMMA first released, fun fact

doing artifact quest, no artifact appears lol
i just realized i accidentally dropped my MDR like 2 areas ago 
God I love going back to the cordon/garbage regions after maxing out gear with expert tools. Feel like such a demigod.
@mental furnace
winning
first green rifle besides this shidded mosin
and its got 2 other parts green
super nice
i should do a no crafting run
at this point thats what this is
no tools so far
so yeah its just a shidded no crafting run
you me, no crafting run, ironman, see who wins (dies) first
its black road
there is no winning
its just see if i make it
for a long time
im basically playing monolith, but not even sin or mono are friendly
literally everyone wants me dead
GoG I swear I even have CoP downloaded and playing why do I need to repurchase it to get Gamma?
you dont need it at all
just do the install in #🖥️how-to-install
fuck the GOG shit
more effort than needed
I know but I uninstalled it
yeah, just install it that way
And I'm like
easier than the GOG
I just got off work, and it's like bruh
been in the irl zone for a while, seen that this is now on GOG and backed by GSC? that's insane
@mental furnace
HOLY FUCK
WEAPON CRATE IS GOATED
soviet weapon crate be giving just Ws
ok imma go bed, hopefully tmr is the same luck as today :D

optimism
What's that? 10 broken useless guns in a row tomorrow? To shreds you say?
yes

im cooked tmr
i even got a 20% sunrise suit today
thats a big find this early

day 1 and i got ak-74 venom and an ak 103
my goat
do it
goodbye ammo parts 
but why
Just some freed up ObjectIDs I'd imagine
I already have 4 rpgs
But 4 rpgs are not 5
hold up
a real good feeling is getting a near perfect gun
barrel is at 40% so ok
just replace barrel later
keep the gun stored away for 10 more hours because you never find a replacement barrel
ill just buy ammo instead 
i love buying 80 20g buckshot from butcher and using it to make like 60 12 gauge slugs instead
and the 80g is only like 3.2k
80 20g
2 mags of AP ammo for a military stockpile of ammo parts
good trade
indubitably
Is there a mod to hold your breath while aiming a weapon?
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/weapon-sway Only one that does it afaik, not sure if it still works
I feel like objects or NPCs that are close by look very small. Is there any way to change this?

change your fov



Got 2 expert tools in my very 3 first yellow stashes I opened after BS in Red Forest lol
With simple math I can prove you that it's normal 🤓
Red forest = 10% expert tools, so 90% chance that you get something else
It needs to happen 3 times in a row
(90/100)³ = 72.9% chance to happen, so no don't kill yourself over a 72.9% chance of something happening otherwise you would not survive more than 1 day
is there any way to reroll the stashes lmao
im so tired of being one tapped by mercs
anyone downloaded gamma off gog?
What mod is that lets us exchange armors for faction armor?
Or is that just a GAMMA thing?
gamma thing
It's a fucking blessing I never knew I loved like I thought it was a bit silly at first cause it was so expensive, but looking at other mods it's just such a nice feature cause you can really start rolling but then if you're like me and don't necessarily want to kill your own faction or just can't buy armors from vendors then it's just the thing that helps the game be rpg'able still
It doesn't work with the trilogy collection apparently so I can't get it
tmk. gamma could never happen on steam due to legal issue. but after seeing what happened with gog, i wonder as well. i even rebought CoP to play it on GoG. shit works
Avoid playing Renegades then, getting their armor is still friendly-fire only, unless you find a way to get your friends killed some other way xd
Avoid playing renegades in general 
Good lord how to disable this retarded weapon dof
Renegades are true pacifist, in the sense you have to pacify everyone
Nobody could be violent to you if everyone has already been violently killed
Honestly ngl I just wiped Duty from Rostok more or less so
Rostok is easier to clean than army warehouses
Close quarters at which the AI is very bad compared to the player, you can crouch swap position so they will go out of cover and look at your last position while you shoot them in the back
Plenty of places to hide from nades where as you are a sitting duck at the freedom's base entrance
Well, if you use the base entrance it's your fault. You can always move in via the wall in the west, and move into the base and use Skinflint's building to operate from.
Into an semi open area with people shooting at you from the towers, many angles and flank you?
Compare that to rostok where you can easily camp and slowly push up the many walls and a singular path that the enemies will walk through
👆
Yeah well I’d wipe out both bases at the same time. I’d ride in on my hog, boom-stick at the ready. Bam! Duty dead. Bam! Freedom dead. Then off I go… to… the North
Wake up Vadya, you shit yourself. Today we go to garbage with no radiation protection

Early bandit experience:
Good morniiing dark valle...
(Cough cough)
(Dies from radiation)
Based
That one spot in a crucial area of AW
Also lives a month tops
He's here for a good time, not a long time
I play very slow doing tasks and travelling a lot
But I saw people rush radar within their first week
I'm not sure what settings they play on though
Somethimes you wont find basics on day 2, sonetimes you enter day 2 with heavy armor/helmet and c tier loadout.
Not again Vasily, I can’t handle this
the head must be insane
vroom vroom
the bandit experience is taking one step out of your base in dark valley and getting sexually assaulted by ever flavour of mutant at once
Any mod that changes like ambiental sound, add wind etc
If you play bandit, mutants are the least of your concerns. At least they're predictable
Good luck playing 90% of the game
bandits easy
Play renegs
I tried renegade and got my ass fuuuucked
Or sin
Literally no place to call home
renegade is dollar store bandit
At least you get a free shotgun as sin..
Sin got a bit more grit. I think they're passive to monolith
Or did they change that?
No
Sin friendly with Mutant and Mono
They should seriously allow for some mechanic to earn weapons from really hard quests
Agree
Weapons or armors
Or a headstart item
You send me out to raid a monolith base and I get 12k roubles out of it. I spend more on the trip there
Also I don't get artefacts. I never bothered much with them. I usually just slot a pelt and those weight boosting items from the trader
G.A.M.M.A. (grind as much merrier something)
I find a neutron star or what's it called, and the scientist won't even buy it off me
Bruh
I remember back when leadboxes were a thing and that artefact would irradiate me through thr leadbox
Scientists should buy all artefacts
Do I need to repair them or what?
What's some good specs to run the game smoothly?
I got a gtx1050 ti and an i9100f
Then it would bottleneck but i agree gamma is cpu heavy
The eternal struggle of economy balancing
I count my bullets literally
I prefer to use slugs and ap 9mm cause it's easier to get
If NPCs actually paid enough to cover what you spent on the mission + a bonus, people would complain it's too easy because they only use looted items and buy nothing
Maybe money should carry some agency other than bullets and meds then
The game's called a survival game but it very much doesn't feel as such
And if they paid in accordance with the assumption you'll do exactly that, those who don't find the required stuff often enough and have to buy it instead think it's scammy
I'm also in the latter camp so I get what you mean
No debuffs in rain or bad weather, npcs see through fog and night, hunger/thirst element feels more like a routine than a task
I personally think GAMMA could make good use of Valheim's food mechanics
Not eating won't kill you, but you'll be far stronger when you do
Crack down on the survival aspect and make gunfights less of a central piece. Everyone trying to survive in the zone but it sure doesn't feel like it
Perhaps something along the lines of protein-heavy diet gives carry weight while carb-heavy gives stam recovery?
Idk
It's very much a "ok but you do it" thing, which I get
But the idea is solid
they should make you thirsty faster too as a default
Yeah, I agree. A soft-cover system would be a massive boon
Probably not the easiest to code, but seeing as there's already a hitbox for playing the rustling noises when you move through bushes I'd imagine a bit of the work has already been done
It would actually make sense to plan out your travels dependant on weather. Heavy fog or storms? Close range build, since npcs can't see that far, but neither can you
Biggest issue would probably be balancing the tick-rate of those cover checks so performance doesn't suffer too much
Well ehen it comes to foliage, there is already an integrated mod in place that makes bushes soft cover
What´s GOG ?
It's a game store much like steam i believe
Is there any reason to use a Coonan .357 as soon as you get a deagle? I know there's an upgraded deagle, but that's from Nimble and I'm nowhere near that point on this character.
Or epic
casual players playing on GOG and finding out about budy hands:
wait so Stalker Gamma is gonna be on "GOG" whatever that is and no more file swaping to download?
lmfao watching the green button go up for the giveaway is wild
its like 10s per second
people love free shit
I think you could still do it but I prefer the version with the gamma launcher. It's more modular
not people, everyone
dont know why, free shit is so easy to get already
requres Stalker 2 to play lmao

december 1st join dates are hungry for those keys
or CoP
Nah either call of pripyat or stalker 2
Goodluck stalkers with the giveaway!
The "or another game to play" part is using optical camo lmao
NOBODY has seen it
Gamma is a CoP modpack
and would this just be a Download and play kinda thing or another File swapin thingie
It's supposed to be plug and play
the thing says download the game, and then launcher opens and you download
no more two folders, download this and that and do this
kinda awesome
imma just Try it out
weak
2 folders, download this and that and do this enjoyers rise up
Gamma really isn't that hard to install
wait
weak? more like good because people are stupid
its always good to make stuff easier for users
just means more stupid people here

yah it says you need a GOG one
paying 14 dollars to install gamma when you can install it for free 🔥
steam and GOG are different
sadge
its a free game..
I really don't get the issue tbh
just download the 'hard' way
really isnt that hard tbh :d
the hard way has like 2 extra steps im pretty sure
done it like 4-5 time now and soon 1 more
If you wanna save 14 bucks there's a classic installer
yah thats why its in quotes
Imma stick with the OG 
well you need th whole trilogy, doesnt it go for 30?
methinks
idk i didnt watch the trailer
i own all the games but thats just so i can give GSC money for their great games and modding support
its dogshit
they chose UE5 over money
i mean ue5 blows
Source on that?
"Classic" gamma doesn't require any of the games since their data is included
i´m not sure if i wanna give Stalker 2 another try since i did all endins allready on launch
was just really laggy
classic gamma doesnt need anything because its not a mod its a standalone game
the entire engine and everything was released a long time ago
my source is
I'm quite sure the S2/CoP requirement on GoG is so they don't lose sales from potential first-time customers, OR for legal reasons
Gamma funnily enough runs better than Stalker 2 for me :d
yah and gamma doesnt really run the best lol, 15 year engine
i think even with a 7900xtx and a 9800x3d im getting 120fps on 5120x1440
This doesn't tell me much, care to elaborate?
you dont need it
a source isnt needed, anomaly is all the games combined and gamma is a mod of anomaly
or well modpack
its a complete standalone 'mod' its more like a game
Classic GAMMA doesn't require any of the games because it's a modpack installed on top of Anomaly that has that data
And gamma contains anomaly
I'm aware, yeah
That's why the claim that you need the whole trilogy confuses me
Dunno how the 15th of november has anything to do with it
woah gamma finally recognized by Stalker devs?
that's XRay vs UE
new UE games don't really run well
May the luck be in your favor Stalkers
I believe a part of the stalker 2 design was inspired by stalker modpacks, gamma being the biggest and the most expansive
UE5 is the money option
my money
also no the fuck it is not lol
money option has always been stalker chibi gacha game
Draws a 5 star bloodsucker
dogshit vs my 3 4 star high freedomers
Updating the game after months. Followed instructions. Getting this error.
Check if installer is latest 
8.3 ?

Aah yes, that was it. I still have 8.0. Da dum tsss!

Go grab it from #📢announcements
on it already! Thank ye!
If I have enhanced editions and originals of all stalker games on steam can I get gamma off gog anyway ? Or is it good ol' fashioned Mod Organizer for me ?
Steam is in no way connected to GOG so no
!gog
@hollow wadi
"Does the GOG release mean I need to buy CoP or S2 to get GAMMA updates in the future?"
No, it's just a way to support the developers and get an easier install procedure.
You can still use https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1092852637847789699 like always.
Linux now? What about macOS?
No sorry, back to the dungeon https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1315449108797980762

RIP but thanks
looks like a dude holding a big red square on a stick if you squint
murder truly is the solution to everything 
Lmao tf
You changed it after you pinged me to make you the christmas hat 
perfect name for a bandit
LMAO I do have a santa hat version already, I just have to put it
im alternating
Anyone know any mod that speed up the game a bit, and scales everything with the faster time
if you mean by progression... settings should have that
no , i mean like the lenght of day and nighs
is limansk and red forest considered north?
do i need to do BS before i go there?
im a merc in dead city and was thinking i can go trough there instead of AH and Radar
yes, funni RF to radar is gone now because 
(also, Army Harehouses? thats not how AW's abbreviated
)
mistype
Which of the exosuit energy thinamajigs with artefact power or smth should I get?
depends what u want, i recommend the flash
flashbang
Rock a leather jacket and simply take enough bath salts to transcend your weakness
For the intimidation factor
Bringing the sunrise suit to the end of the game
youre gonna be unable to save btw
remove the quotation marks
Started up a new Loner run and I already got gunsmithing tools from the tent outside rookie village
ez game 
is it true basic tools spawn there?
You have now cursed yourself to get headshot for the next 10 encounters with Bandits
In Anomaly yea, not Gamma iirc
that explains alot
you can still save
just not quicksave
man, I nuked my last save because I found a lot of good gear early on and got expert tools on my first northern stash
doing leather jacket/mosin run for shits and giggles and I already have gunsmithing tools and a g36 within the first hour

Man can I borrow your luck or smth
whats min sleep % to go to sleep
nah it's boring, my last run I found a green barrel SA-58 aus on a zombie day one, gun carried me through BS
so many of my runs start like this, scavenger and ZCP default but I get all the sweet loot so early on

So i uh. I wanted to ask since i already have a pre-existing install from a half a year back i haven't updated and then all the reshade stuff happened. DO i just get the latest exe and just update like normal?
that happened for like my first couple of runs
42
I always get battery so I can forget about recharging it for a while
i got like 5 svds with green barrel before i decided to keep one, and the fraiser mp5 all before advanced tools
isn't that the max 
it's [0,42]
🤓
oh and tactical saiga with green barrel too
does olivius sell a fridge?
you can craft it with basic tools
Wonder if there would be a way to add the guitar minigame from Stalker 2 to GAMMA
i forgot about that, thank you. just need to get some because my run just started
