[errant dragon]

just found this shi on a renegade

give me bad loot ffs

[latent cairn]

this dumb mf is staring straight at me for a whole minute

[latent cairn]

i found this with green barrel too but i didnt wanna use it without a scope and by the time i got a scope i found m4 protecta and the galil both green barrell lmao

[untold obsidian]

feels bad man

[errant dragon]

I'm annoyed because I have a green barrel g36, I can fully rep it rn

4 in game hours have passed since I started

[untold obsidian]

maybe he want to decide if you are food or not

[errant dragon]

suffering from success

[untold obsidian]

dude my last run.... lets not talk about it, not only did i get rusty af i totally got the best and worst luck ever. first find the missing stalker quest for duty granted me 3 C-Class weapons with good barrels

mechanics proceed to not sell parts for a week for them 🙁

ever other drop i find is shit

i get to 5 basic tools, so f it i craft

[errant dragon]

some men die of thirst while others drown type shit

[untold obsidian]

broke af, no ammo, no side arms since my stoopid ass decided to "spring clean" my vault

now im waiting until a passing squad kills the chimera for me an i can cash in

[errant dragon]

I just can't man. 4 in game hours, a g36 with all good parts, and gunsmithing tools for ammo

I can't suffer

[humble shoal]

wtf dude)

[untold obsidian]

ikr?

[untold obsidian]

you must be doing something wrong then, no suffering what so ever

i might be able to repair a predetor suit and start knifing folks for parts

[errant dragon]

what have I done to deserve this luck

[untold obsidian]

being born?

not being a total prick in you last life?

nobody knows

[humble shoal]

this is what i had on day 2 on my last run

who tf wait 1 ingame week for buying parts for c tier gun

[errant dragon]

[untold obsidian]

a broke as fuck dude in a leather jacket xD

[prime wadi]

Planning to start out as a dutier. Any tips to make the hobo phase a bit easier or even shorter?

[errant dragon]

ungodly luck

[green shale]

i mean, start in rostok, that's the answer

[prime wadi]

That's the plan.

I was thinking maybe head over to garbage and hunt, or do a few risky but rewarding fetch quests at Truck Cem

Get some moolah in the bank

[prime wadi]

Always need that when stepping into the zone, my friend

[obtuse loom]

i just died to emission while inside rostok mechanic building? in ironman lol

[prime wadi]

No lives to spare?

[obtuse loom]

i do

[scenic trench]

you sure it was an emission and not a pulse

[obtuse loom]

im not doing invictus jsut normal ironman

[obtuse loom]

ngl maybe. was looking at phone while waiting

all i heard was my character just dying

[wet kernel]

i havent been around in a while, is there any plan to make a stalker 2 gamma?

[ashen stag]

no

think about it, SoC came out in 2007

anomaly didnt come out till 2018, 11 years later

then gamma wasnt a thing till like 2021, 14 years later

if we go off that time frame

itd take till 2048 for gamma 2

[valid crater]

The area where the window is in the back of the room is not safe during an emission. 🤡

[untold obsidian]

in case im still alive then i would actually play it

also something tells me Stalker 2 aint finished yet

[ashen stag]

true

anomaly is built off cop so itd be even longer

since cop came out in 2010

3 years of stalker

[untold obsidian]

true still like CoP most out of all of them

[ashen stag]

same

[untold obsidian]

anyway since im to bored to wait an other day for someone to kill that chimera i call this run a lost cause.

might try a souls like run next

my sorry ass got blocked during reinstalling gamma and had to play without coffee in the game for a bit .(

[wet kernel]

jesus lmao

[hasty imp]

"hey cold theres a new rookie in clear sky what job should we give him"
"hmm how about house of horrors"
"y-you sure man?"
"yeah"

[errant dragon]

jokes on them, that job is easy

[edgy ledge]

ngl, there should be a Stalker/GTA Server, I already know the name

"Delay Simulator"

[warm verge]

ok it's time

[pseudo holly]

Has anyone installed GAMMA through GOG yet?

[warm verge]

to play shatma again

[pseudo holly]

Been looking to reinstall it after forcing myself to quit my addiction

[warm verge]

shader comp failed pog

ts pawsome

[pseudo holly]

Aww man, I already own COP on Steam, not GOG XD

[vapid cobalt]

gamma should collab with fortnite

i want to play as the bald monolithian guy whos name sounds like krokodil

its a tuff idea ong

[warm verge]

this ideaa

is so ass

[vapid cobalt]

tuffest idea ever

denoni zhtogma

[pseudo holly]

Damn, linked my Steam and GOG accounts, and GOG is still saying I don't own COP, guess I'll install the old-fashioned way.

Was hoping to avoid doing all that again, but alas.

[untold obsidian]

of to a great new beginning

i mean do never start with much in terms of medkits

but damn i did not have 2 lurkers hunting the boars in mind then i started out

[nocturne lotus]

TIL liquid gold actually does cause rapid dehydration, i thought the description was flavor text lmao

[sick yoke]

One of the few times where the flavor text is actually legit

[untold obsidian]

my sorry ass then i did read liquid mold from the cornor of my eye on the 2nd monitor

[timber flower]

[nocturne lotus]

i was sitting around a campfire and i was wondering "why tf is my water going down so fast"

[warm verge]

no

[timber flower]

https://tenor.com/view/uncleted-gif-19713310

[untold obsidian]

isnt there a mod that puts santa hats on zombies?

[timber flower]

There is one that turns models into furries so shooting at them is that much more enjoyable

[untold obsidian]

oh in that case you should install a 40k voice mod as well

[timber flower]

If you add the 40k voice mod just play arma

[untold obsidian]

true enough

[timber flower]

https://i.imgflip.com/9cfigr.gif

[untold obsidian]

imma steal this one, got a few of this gator, but not the one with the santa hat - yet

[hollow marlin]

OH BOY I BET ITS A KILLER GIFT

[novel sierra]

Hey boys. I haven't played GAMMA in like 2 years. What am I missing, so I know what to change in the mods?

example-meat rotting in inventory is fucking dumb. I'm turning that off.

[royal ferry]

Hi, what is considered a good belt setup with 5 emplacements ?

[royal ferry]

You have popup to help on new game now

[small shell]

a new day, alternating back

[muted spruce]

Where can I get such a mod?

For the reasearch wing of the Black Mesa facility

[near estuary]

do you shoot them with your dick or something
cuz how is that enjoyable

[novel sierra]

huh?

what do you mean?

[timber flower]

With guns

[timber flower]

Uh can't find it on moddb anymore

[muted spruce]

[small shell]

loverslab, then?

[near estuary]

HUH

[timber flower]

No, it was just furries. It wasn't nsfw

Some basic cheap models

But it was fun to go duty and have a duty to kill them all

[small shell]

i believe Hip modelswap into protogen still exist on moddb

[near estuary]

[small shell]

close enough, shoot 7.62 until death

[near estuary]

kinda

[celest sparrow]

holy fuck when was the last time we talked about him

[celest sparrow]

that's a protogen

[near estuary]

maybe a year ago
something about his tierlists having always one gun completely out of place on purpose so he baits engagement in the comments

[near estuary]

like his avatar shit?

[celest sparrow]

yeah

[near estuary]

oh no

[latent turret]

"Fun" and "duty" in the same sentence is wild

[celest sparrow]

He hasn't done a video in a year

I think he dead

[near estuary]

the duty in duty is to have fun

[small shell]

[fierce veldt]

I just updated, did they get rid of the interaction dots?

[near estuary]

yes

[celest sparrow]

it's disabled

[near estuary]

performance issues

[fierce veldt]

Damn, I really liked them personally

[near estuary]

same

but they also tanked my FPS by like 10-15

[fierce veldt]

Felt like a good modernization

[sick yoke]

@celest sparrow am i getting trolled???

[celest sparrow]

It's an issue with 1.7

Artifacts being OOB

really just waiting for 1.7.1 to keep playing

[sick yoke]

😔

i'm guessing you can't noclip because it's ue5

[celest sparrow]

you can but you need to mod it in

to access console comands

people recommend to simply keep reloadin the save until it stops being oob

[sick yoke]

oh that works?

i should do that honestly

[hasty imp]

im gammaing it im gammaing it oh im so gamma

[muted spruce]

Microwave

[idle kelp]

If your PC is decent, the performance drop is more than fine. I love the interaction dots and it works great

Maybe Chernobyl Incident wasn't that bad, we got Stalker from it!

[errant dragon]

[wide fable]

Looks like the boot crop is coming in good this season.

[wide fable]

I've been running into OoB artefacts for several versions,now. I just accept it and move on.
Real disappointing whenever it happens,though.

[blissful ivy]

looks like the stalker trees are coming in nicely

[errant dragon]

I've also seen bloodsucker feet sticking out of the ground but I never ss'd it

[wide fable]

Anybody find the new (ish) revolver or shotgun in the wild yet?

[errant dragon]

I've found my first ever rsh-12 last week on a corpse from a lost signal quest, deleted that save before I used it tho

[wide fable]

Unfortunate. I wanted to know how practical they are.

[errant dragon]

lost signal quests honestly goated for loot

[wide fable]

I suspect they need Class D kits to service.

[errant dragon]

yep, theyre class D

[wide fable]

Lost Signal quests... are those the PDA logs that mention a frequency and absolutely nothing actionable?

Or am I missing something?

[errant dragon]

yea, using a frequency to find a pda on a corpse. or just going to bodydots if you have it enabled

[wide fable]

My typical go-to loot haul is answering Lukash's weekly call to hold the Barrier.

Lukash pays somewhat reasonably,and the entire legion of corpses tends to carry heaps of loot.

Then I round a corner,don a Duty disguise,and gun down the Freedomers.

[hushed surge]

@ripe stirrup join me on lobby 2

[wide fable]

I'm going to have to ask you to teach me how to figure out where those want me to search,in broad strokes. At least the faction rep packages give you a quadrant.

[prisma crag]

danke

[elder sparrow]

is gamma containing only open source mods?

[prisma crag]

yes

Infact, closed source mods are banned from here

[elder sparrow]

very well

gamma itself is open source too right?

[prisma crag]

yes

[elder sparrow]

thanks

[prisma crag]

I need to finish this run already

I want HD models

with my current graphics overhauls and reshade they look out of place

The defualt ones i mean

[rapid knoll]

guys, my nights are to dark, the settings in menu (ligher night) not fix it

[gloomy rose]

How are people who have never played the game before getting access to this channel lol

[gloomy rose]

turn your flashlight on

[rapid knoll]

in day time game looks like this ok

but it's should be so dark?

[wide fable]

As it turns out,night in a location without endemic artificial light sources is dark.

[gloomy rose]

If it's night time without a full moon and cloudy or foggy weather then yes

[wide fable]

Assuming you have a headlamp or NVG equipped,tap L.

[gloomy rose]

what do you mean your don't have a set of NODs??

https://tenor.com/view/pokimane-broke-boy-gif-1631750273434798155

[rapid knoll]

Sorry, I didn't know that the standard gamma is so dark at night.

i mean i have the weather mod

[gloomy rose]

night time = dark

[rapid knoll]

i prefer when it's so dark 🙂

i just wasnt sure

[gloomy rose]

no worries

Get yourself a flashlight, headlamp, or NVGs and you'll be all set

You can also use glowsticks

[wide fable]

Man,the Ithaca Stakeout's pretty good.

For a starter gun,at least.

[next phoenix]

You could also edit your install for brighter nights, gamma is modular after all

[wide fable]

It's in the name!

[rapid knoll]

waht do u mean.. sorry

the settings in menu change nothing, i mean lighter night, or darker nights

[lethal steeple]

okay though guy you know the drill

[rapid knoll]

mb becasuee i changed settings in SSS?

[lethal steeple]

the settings in the menu DO change the nights' brightness, although in microscopic increments that you won't notice at all unless you're on an oled

#╟🔰☢newbies-chat message

do this

[next phoenix]

What

[lethal steeple]

disable atmos

see if it's so modular

or glowsticks

[rose musk]

He's ulting

[wide fable]

Found me a Vityaz with a 60+ barrel in it on day one. That's pretty sweet.

[thin saddle]

Hi boys. Is there any way to make all stalkers in the zone Legends? through MCM or by downloading external mods?

[near estuary]

so you...
avoided buying the A kit?

[wide fable]

No mods needed. Knock back a sleeping pill and nap for a few hours.

[hollow marlin]

Drink copious amounts of vodka and skips days easy

[mortal wadi]

I would like some rush tbh, to get caught by dark sometimes etc

[wide fable]

Interesting thing: Wolf isn't offering me Tourist Safari jobs. Am I just being woefully unlucky,or are those gone now?

[paper rock]

first 2 stashes

[humble sedge]

Bruh how deep is this wound, I've put 3 bandages and still red bleed I think I have more medkit than blood in me rn

[rose musk]

are you wearing any artis that fuck with wound healing

[humble sedge]

I have no artifacts I just started a new clear sky run, Renegade hit me with a mosin round

[rose musk]

I'd say that's pretty realistic

[humble sedge]

Yeah I ain't saying it ain't but

[ashen stag]

2 mirrors, a broken toz and some tarp

[sick yoke]

yeah i hate to break it to you but bandages are practically useless now

[latent turret]

thats what torniquets are for

but those are expensive

[humble sedge]

Too expensive not enough moneys for my new playthrough and didn't expect a chem fueled maniac with a mosin to decide my left leg looked scrumptious

[wide fable]

Somehow,my starter knife saved my ass at least five times.

Shotgun goes click.
Out comes the knife,and swing-swing-swing.

It works. Somehow.

Part of me wonders when the Ithaca Stakeout will lose its effectiveness against humans.

[wide fable]

...Is that a Barrett!?

[muted spruce]

It's a shotgun

[quasi python]

338 BARRET

caps

[muted spruce]

It's pretty much always going to be effective against anything

[wide fable]

Currently,my chief beef with the Ithaca Stakeout is the lengthy reload downtime.

Got me killed more than a few times.

?

Five shells,reloaded at a very leisurely pace for a man under fire.

[craggy flower]

Hello Stalkers. Is it safe to delete the mods in the downloads folder after install? Pretty sure the launcher uses GAMMAS mod folder to check for updates. 65GB is quite a chunk of space when you're running low.

[wide fable]

I doubt it.

Just to be sure,ask over in #🔨base-gamma-support

[craggy flower]

Will do.

[wide fable]

...If I'm coming from Cordon,that's gonna be bringing me by a guaranteed Controller spawn,won't it?

https://tenor.com/view/fast-car-gif-22098603

[valid crater]

Depends on which entrance you take, if the eastern all is fine.

[remote escarp]

anyone know the actual mechanics of loot in stashes, would it be possible to save scum a advanced tool kit instead of a basic one?

[hard zealot]

its already determined the moment you get the stash coordinates

So uhhh save scum the quest reward that has a chance to give the stash in the first place?

Really bad use of time

better to just get more stash coords

[remote escarp]

yeah fair enough not against the grind but ive gotten 4 drug making kits so far

[rose musk]

you would have to reload before handing in the task that gives the yellow stash

very time consuming but doable

[hard zealot]

Yeah, went to CNPP like so many times hoping for expert tools in a yellow stash

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-gif-1878760417600646737

The chance to get it seems so fair and yet i cant prove grok is twisting my balls

[remote escarp]

if im going to cnpp for a yellow stash it better have expert tools in it

[hard zealot]

spoiler: it did not

i found expert tools in Brain scorcher

uhhh the place past barrier

But yeah unpopular opinion stash grind feels abit too MMO sometimes

[rose musk]

highly depends on faction

as eco I am fuckin PRINTING stashes

playing mailman

[remote escarp]

im doing a merc run rn and no one seems to want to pay me in stash locations for murdering people

i am stinking rich however

[rose musk]

well if you're rich

make sure to be buying out the nemiroff and whatever the white bottle vodka is

to craft into red bottles

trading to spirit for basics to upgrade into advanced

it's an option at least

[remote escarp]

didnt consider that option

[rose musk]

yeah if you're swimmin in it it'll probably net you a basic kit per day clearing out all the traders you can

[remote escarp]

how much vodka is it per tool kit like 15?

[rose musk]

20 charges

of the red bottles

[remote escarp]

hmmm

it is doable

[rose musk]

https://tenor.com/view/xrd-exrd-crypto-btc-eth-gif-23801255

the gears are turning in the mercs head

we can leverage what we have

might bottleneck a little on plastic jars for crafting

[elder sparrow]

curious, anyone tried stalker in VR?

[hard zealot]

Well i wonder if its been long enough for someone to do that by now

[elder sparrow]

oh no it’s totally have been done, you can check videos on yt, im asking if anyone here in the chat had the pleasure

its on the keyboard nd mouse for controls + vr for free look basis

[minor lantern]

anyone know why it aims like this?

[rose musk]

press v

could be a canted sight

[minor lantern]

tysm

[rose musk]

If i meet a controller, i am vomiting

There should not be expert tools in Radar. 🤔

is it even possible?

[rose musk]

Feel like trying to do that would break something extremely badly

sounds like the kind of thing that would simultaneously break 250 mods

[hollow wadi]

Someone was working on making Anomaly hours (which is 4:1 to real time) become real life hours.

Where are they now? Idk

[rose musk]

lost to the zone i'd assume

[river rover]

GAMMA 2 MENTIONED

[hasty goblet]

My favorite thing about stalker 2 is all of the anomalyheads posting "why didn't GSC put this original feature into stalker 2" and then they find out it's an anomaly feature.

[celest sparrow]

It still bothers me there was an outcry for mutant loot not being in Stalker 2 despite only ever being in Stalker SoC used for Tasks

At least it is cool to see but I guess people were hurting for the possible 1k ru they could have gained from a group of dogs

[radiant sage]

My fav criticism

[normal sparrow]

Many people including my self wanted it to be Gamma but it wasn't which was to be expected it was a weird thing to expect in the first place

[mild gale]

[remote escarp]

at the point in the run where i gotta do miracle machine, how do you guys normally do it?

[celest sparrow]

Medium Armor
20% psy res + psy block
A shotgun and a 9x19 smg

[normal sparrow]

Saiga goes hard

[dusk badge]

how do you guys early game mercs?

[celest sparrow]

Dark Valley for Bandit tasks

[sick yoke]

no anon it is incredibly important that i get my 130 rubles for killing 5 dogs and looting 2 tails

[dusk badge]

you got a strat?

[hasty goblet]

It was a pain when the mutant spawns were a bit more glitchy and sometimes you'd run into like 30 dogs.

I was often frustrated with s2 when I'd spend half my ammo killing mutants on the way to a story objective.

[normal sparrow]

pretty much the same as any other faction

just spam missions

although be prepared to get many stashes in Limansk

[obtuse storm]

So is Diolator's texture rework not yet in Gamma? I cant find it in Mo2 so i assume not, thought itd be in by now

Dead city tasks are easy money

[sick yoke]

@celest sparrow LMAO you can just shoot nimble!??

[normal sparrow]

Spring Cleaning is the goat

[hasty imp]

at what rep level do factions kos

[hybrid karma]

Shit sucks big time,I risk it in the army warehouses and if I survive gather some shit then head to dark valley asap for bandits,set up a temp. base (especially if I get lucky with basics) then I want to shoot myself because after a while I have to carry all the shit I've gathered back to dead city

[thin orchid]

-1000 goodwill for neutral factions

[hasty imp]

so im still good right?

i kinda need to fix

my rep with freedom

[thin orchid]

yeah, some specific stalkers might be hostile if you killed a squad member of theirs

[hasty imp]

thats cool

[hybrid karma]

burers are the only problem imo,bring a shit ton of buckshot and thats it,smgs help a lot because of burers and controller spawn (you kind of have to shoot far) you can do it with light armor too but there's no rush so by the time you do it chances are you have medium armor

[hasty imp]

u can put a ied on where the burer spawns on the stairs after the final level

be careful of the snorks that try n gank you

[foggy geyser]

i know there was an answer to this last time i played, but what are the best things to take in with you when starting a new game as a loner?

[hasty imp]

surely this wont be a chimera

[normal sparrow]

I think it can be anything but a normal mutant so a Controller, Giant etc

I'm not sure exactly but I do think it can be a Chimera

[normal sparrow]

probably the same as most factions? a decent weapon I would imagine with cheap ammo if you can like 9x18 or 9x19

there was a loadout for newbies somewhere but I can't find it

[harsh kraken]

it will be 6 or 7 black chimeras and a psy storm

[latent elbow]

[normal sparrow]

Oh wow I missed it, It was right at the top of the pins lmaooo

[latent elbow]

Pinne messages on #╟🔰☢newbies-chat and #🤖bot-commands are the first things to check

[normal sparrow]

I did, I just missed it being literally right at the top of the pins

Like it's right under "Main Storyline:" so I was like well this is clearly story stuff and didn't read the line directly below it

[mighty viper]

that's GAMMA 2

Basically waiting for several mods to be ported to SPT 4.0.x

[normal sparrow]

it doesn't have the same ring as "GAMMA"

[mighty viper]

Yeah the name is only a placeholder atm

[latent elbow]

What is the philosophy of that modpack ?

[mental furnace]

[mighty viper]

No scav, no flea, extremely limited secure container, more progressive traders unlock, instant crafting in hideout, more balanced hideout craft, all quest items (keys etc) available for barters at traders, more progressive and balanced NPCs loadouts, some rebalanced quests, some rebalanced armors and armor parts, reworked bench press mini game stats and frequency

[latent elbow]

Sounds promising tbh

[small shell]

thought that said gamer feet

[mighty viper]

https://github.com/Grokitach/gameft

it's wildely outdated atm

[latent elbow]

Because of the 4.0 of SPT I guess ?

[mighty viper]

yes

but most of the important mods are still on 3.11 SPT anyway iirc 🙁

like realism, donuts swag, questing bots, etc

[latent elbow]

I've played some SPT with mods (including saint) but it feels boring and way too easy (despite of saint)

[mighty viper]

That's because you need to create harsh limits / conditions / balance traders and npc loadouts etc

Always having NPCs dropping armors at the same or 1 tier above the ammo they use or that you can get at traders and hideout craft is important

[mental furnace]

[latent elbow]

Yeah and I probably badly configured my saint parameters

[mighty viper]

When I made this modpack it was still a bit too easy. But now I know what to fix for the next iteration

and I'll also make it work with FIKA in mind

[harsh kraken]

is it worth buying the kukri from ashot

[latent elbow]

Will you release updates on this discord (like in #💣tarkov-released ) ?

[harsh kraken]

or is there a cheaper top tier knife

[hollow wadi]

Kukri is top tier, and then there's the 1% drop from Legend Monolith, Monolith Blade

Which is same stats but lighter I think

So buy the kukri

[harsh kraken]

bet

[mighty viper]

Whenever I get back to it and it's released, I'll announce it here and make a separate discord just like I did for Dragon's Dogma 2 Dogamma modpack

https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/1150

https://github.com/Grokitach/Dragons-Dogamma

FYI

[latent elbow]

Sweet

[void mango]

There's multiple gamma's ?

Tf

[mighty viper]

currently there's only STALKER GAMMA and Dogamma. And yes I'm planning on releasing a "gamma like" project for SPT

[hard zealot]

SPT? as in Tarkovsky?

[void mango]

That is still multiple

[hard zealot]

Escape from Grokov

[viral nexus]

Does raiding the sin base (like killing all, including merchants or technicians) affect the storyline whatsoever ? playing as Clear Sky rn if that info's any use.

[pliant kestrel]

Anyone know of some .308 LMG mods like M249 FN MAXIMI, mg42/53, etc

[ripe lagoon]

I think there's m240 on moddb

[pliant kestrel]

Hell yeah!!

Il check

[hasty imp]

is there a mod that fix this weird ass positioning for shotguns

[signal galleon]

This is one of the worst locations in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. modding.

[remote escarp]

how am i supposed to see in miracle machine, either i use a glowstick and 9x18 hp or im blind firing buckshot everywhere

[latent elbow]

Wym?

[latent elbow]

Find/craft a headlamp

[hasty imp]

it looks off idk if its just me

like when i run it looks super weird

[remote escarp]

it flickers on and off in miracle machine, basically impossible to use

[hasty imp]

n im wondering if theres a mod reposition it

[latent elbow]

You can change the positioning (kinda) with the hud fov in the settings
I use this mode personally dunno if it'll help though :
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/153-dynamic-viewmodel

[hasty imp]

ill try it out thank you

[latent elbow]

Does it happen in other indoor locations or when light turn off is your arm/weapon still illuminated cause I got a very annoying bug make the headlamp flickering everytime

[latent elbow]

[remote escarp]

maybe its changed but last time i did miracle machine nvg and headlamps didnt work, the headlamp would turn off and then come back on for a second every 5-10 seconds

[latent elbow]

I know electrical anomalies make your lamp go off but dunno if it's normal in mm though

Maybe because of the mm itself it's scripted somehow

[hasty goblet]

Pretty sure it's a feature of MM. There's a way to disable it too.

[idle kelp]

Headlamps don't work in MM, that's not a bug

You need an NVG or some analog lighting

I just recommend making the cheap tier 1 NVG if you aren't in a rush to finish it ASAP

[keen bronze]

IIRC it's a mod

Not really a vanilla thing

@frank oxide give confirmation

[frank oxide]

whar

ah

flashlight no work in labs?

intentional

mod config menu > glowsticks > light flicker in bs

[valid crater]

Having T1 NV before MM should be no issue. Without it's a fun place.

[latent elbow]

Do you know what can possibly make my headlight turn off when looking at some precise directions sometimes ? (Seems to happen mostly indoor) It's clearly a bug because my weapon/arms are still illuminated. I've searched for a bit (thought at first to be a Fov bug but reducing fov didn't change anything)
On top of that if I turn off my headlight unequip and equip it again when I turn it on it's tied to the spot/direction I was at when unequip it and if I unequip/equip again it turn to "normal" (=tied to my head) still with the bug mentioned above though

[green shale]

make sure you did not turn on "Attach items to hand" in MCM -> FDDA

it causes that bug with headlights and many others

[latent elbow]

I'll check that as soon as I come back home thank you

[royal ferry]

Anyone run armor at 0% durability and use it only for speed, carry and belt slots ?

[random grail]

Early game yes

It's actually better than using starting points for faction jacket

[royal ferry]

I'm trying it on my ongoing run and actually starting Mortal Sin and it feel good so far

[latent elbow]

Starting armor and being naked does make a huge difference tbh

For combat/resistance

[remote escarp]

took a break halfway through but made it to through miracle machine, downside is i have 3 rounds left in the pistol and completely ran out of buckshot, hopefully these snorks and this pseudogiant arent too hard to get past

[latent cairn]

this is kinda shit

i thought cuz it uses 12.7 its gonna be better than the svd

but i need like 3 body shots to down mono

[hasty goblet]

Shoot them in the head, bozo

[idle kelp]

12.7 deals fat damage but man the bullet is soooo slow

I think the velocity is better than 9x39 but not by much

You still need to lead your shots by a mile to hit anyone at long range

[latent cairn]

whats the point of using high calibre if i need hs to down on 1 shot

i can do that with 5.56 just fine

[latent elbow]

Still subsonic rounds

[latent elbow]

Ap ammo can 1 shot exo in the head

But Rsh is a better way to use 12.7 ammo imo

[idle kelp]

Switched from 12.7 to a Scout with 7.62x51 and my god it's nice to have the bullet instantly go where I click with no delay or leading my shots

The reliability and better accuracy of my shots is worth the lower damage

[latent cairn]

svd ammo cant?

[latent elbow]

Ap can

Better ap power than 12.7 in fact

[latent cairn]

which ap theres 2

[hasty goblet]

The one called AP. Zn14 is the middle tier

[latent elbow]

The one that isn't fmj

[latent elbow]

For 12.7

[latent elbow]

Middle tier still 1 shot most stalkers

And fmj tier is still good early game or against sins

And when I say it 1 shot it's obviously because you shoot in the head

[latent elbow]

VSSK is heavy as hell I strongly suggest you to keep 12.7 ammo for the Rsh if you're lucky enough to find one

[hasty goblet]

I have many times tried the vssk again and ditched it for something lighter lmao

[latent elbow]

Even giving it to a companion isn't worth it it tbh

[hasty goblet]

I never give snipers to companions. They miss too many shots

Fanatic usually gets the first broken tier D I find

[latent elbow]

Until they reach higher rank

[humble shoal]

imo rsh is not good either

its way too hard to hit headshots with it

[pseudo galleon]

bandit drip

[latent cairn]

speaking of luck....

[idle kelp]

Can't guns jam for companions too?

[latent elbow]

I would say to train your aim then, in cqb condition with a red dot it works great. I've done the whole CNPP raid with it works like a charm

[latent elbow]

Nope

[frozen bolt]

its not a good run yet until i put a p90 in my primary, secondary, and knife slot

[hasty goblet]

Companions don't care. They can still use a gun that's been field stripped.

[latent cairn]

does barel quality matter

[hasty goblet]

Nope

[latent cairn]

ok good

[green shale]

they can but they don't have a separate anim for unjamming guns, it just looks like them reloading

[idle kelp]

That's what I thought! So it really is a bad idea to give them broken guns, right?

[royal ferry]

Maybe
It's better on the money side because there is no maintenance.
And later on having a plate and the pseudo pelt give like 25% resist against bullet.
I then stack health and bleed regen via artyfacts and it is realy a low maintenance setup that only get, in my experiments, a marginaly worse survivability in comparison with regular armor usage most of the time.

[signal galleon]

bruh bro are ye joking

[latent cairn]

wtf???

full mag of ap ammo 556 and hes not even reacting

[sonic walrus]

so im doing mortal sin rn and i had to look for the scout team, but now the quest wont progress

[signal galleon]

bro is using not AP rounds and complaing about

[sonic walrus]

you mean quarter mag

[latent cairn]

i shot before i started recording too

[sonic walrus]

cuz only like 25 or 30% of that mag hit the target

[signal galleon]

What ammo do you use bro?

[latent elbow]

What ammo are you using?

[latent cairn]

AP 5.56

[sonic walrus]

bro fought eidolons father

[signal galleon]

In your video you never hit it

[latent cairn]

he should go down in 10 shots bro

[signal galleon]

You just missed all your shots.

[latent cairn]

its not even that hes not takin damage he was doing the walking animation like nothing happened

[signal galleon]

10? Maximum 1-3 lmao

[latent elbow]

Maybe you just don't hit him at all that's why he doesn't react or take damage from ap rounds

[sonic walrus]

the AR hit most of the shots, but with the pistol he fumbled

[signal galleon]

He didn't hit a single shot, check out the clip.
Bro shoots and thinks he can ignore the damage like a tank

[latent cairn]

bro i swear they're bugged

[signal galleon]

Idk why bro thought 9x19 or even .45 would do anything lmao

[latent elbow]

With AP rounds you could have down him in like 2-3 shots max in the head, easy since non lethal hs would have staggered him

[celest sparrow]

He's using the Spectr scope which has issues if you aren't zoomed in fully

[sonic walrus]

the 5-10 AR hits before should have killed the guy 3 times

[celest sparrow]

Which is making him miss his shots

[signal galleon]

He missed them all, when you hit a Monolith, he doesn't ignore the pain.

[sonic walrus]

?

[signal galleon]

The Monoliths have a stagger here.

[sonic walrus]

im asking again, are you blind? theres is no problem with his aim

either bugged or scope broken

[celest sparrow]

Really ignoring what I said

Hate it here

[sonic walrus]

???

thats what i said

[celest sparrow]

Yeah I said the scope is broken

It's the spectr what is causing the issue

[sonic walrus]

never had any problems with it, i just hate the small shitty iron sights on top of it

[celest sparrow]

Makes me wonder how many weapons have this issue, it used to be only the P90

[celest sparrow]

Yeah it's an issue on some weapons

[signal galleon]

"damn bro it's all bugs that i can't hit literally 1 guy infront at me"

[celest sparrow]

It is a bug though

It's something known and not really the users fault here

[sonic walrus]

bro is denying so hard that it warps his vision

can you not see

did you drop your contact lenses

his aim isnt the issue

stg someone get this guy in a vc and slow the footage down for him while counting the shots that were clearly on target

[signal galleon]

A bro aims a sniper rifle at a body and complains that he can't kill anyone and calls the gun bad.
No, bro

[celest sparrow]

Again, the scope is the issue

[signal galleon]

here's a major skill issue.

[sonic walrus]

irrelevant since he didnt use a sniper but an AR in the clip

[celest sparrow]

Can you stop being a moron and pay attention

[sonic walrus]

!!!!

[celest sparrow]

Are you purposely fucking with us or are you this stubborn

[idle kelp]

I wasn't aware there are broken scopes in the game but that's good to know

[sonic walrus]

swear to god if he says again that all shots have missed

[celest sparrow]

It's only the Specter that has this issue

[signal galleon]

damn bro your aim is really bad

[celest sparrow]

On a few weapons I may add

Yeah he's just fucking with us

[signal galleon]

just remove this scope with 2 clicks lmao

what's the problem then?

[latent cairn]

i didnt know

[celest sparrow]

Yeah we don't expect you to
Didn't know the Protector was affected by it

But it should be fixed if you zoom in once more

[signal galleon]

guys in the chat know better than the guy who uses the item in the game.

[latent cairn]

ok

[rose musk]

you're unreasonably obnoxious

[celest sparrow]

Should be at least last time I used it

[pseudo galleon]

i was frustrated of some egghead kill steal some bandits than i may have put some bullets in the head (with the founding father caliber) :3

[latent cairn]

oh yeah its much better when im zoomed in all the way

shots hit where i aim

tnx for the help

i bought the spectr cause it was the cheapest zoom i could get

ill avoid it

[pseudo galleon]

OIOIOIOIOIOI

[latent cairn]

lets gooo

i did restart my game tho so maybe it was bugged too

[sonic walrus]

being a pos for no reason, i see

[rose musk]

[wide fable]

Think I should rip that shotgun apart for the barrel? I started with an Ithaca Stakeout,which I feel is an objectively better gun than that thing.

[rose musk]

stakeout is def better imo

the one in that pic is bolt action

garbage

[wide fable]

Bolt action and a two shell mag.

[rose musk]

Yeah it's quite stinky

[wide fable]

Like,at that point... why bother?

[rose musk]

I started with it ONCE on an eco run

It was alright

but at that point you're really only fighting mutants, and any 9x19 pistol sidearm is good enough to takeout bandits in garbage and cordon

(It would be better to just use the pistol with HP tho)

[ashen stag]

nah thats the 4 shell if im not wrong

the 2 shell has a skeleton stock

[wide fable]

For the time being,the only properly serviceable weapon I have is the Ithaca Stakeout.

Though,I really wanna restore that Vityaz.

[ashen stag]

the bolt action shotgun is pretty solid imo

useful when you dont wanna waste your precious ammo for your other guns on cheap enemies

[wide fable]

The Ithaca Stakeout uses the exact same ammo.

With one more shot.

And a faster RoF.

[ashen stag]

ah i thought the stakeout uses the other buckshot

like the other ithacas

[rose musk]

even with the 4mag, its either jamming or having sub 70 quality parts within 25-50 shots

[wide fable]

Glorious 20 gauge!

[rose musk]

ask me how i know

[ashen stag]

used to be the meta starting weapon back in 2022

even tho it used to be the 2 shot version then instead

[green shale]

you sure you aren't misremembering the TOZ-34?

[wide fable]

Last year (Or so?) the Echo Detector couldn't detect fuck all. Even in Cordon and Garbage. Now,I'm detecting stuff seemingly in every patch in the Garbage.

[green shale]

that one's the 20x70 one

[rose musk]

Garbage is big money for perkifacts and T1's

[green shale]

toz-34 with the 12ga was meta because of how common the ammo is and how cheap it is to run

[ashen stag]

nah i think it was cause

[rose musk]

usually can snag 1-4 every run through

[ashen stag]

the 194 was less points

idk i just copied what drewksi said

[wide fable]

The Lamp and Jellyfish are the only ones I didn't find here in the Garbage.

[ashen stag]

back then

[wide fable]

All with an Echo.

[rose musk]

what a useless perkifact btw

the lamp

[wide fable]

I know.

[rose musk]

think it's the only one I haven't used more than once

[wide fable]

I keep it around for crafting.

[ashen stag]

[wide fable]

The Swamp Thing is a Clear Sky kit for some manner of AK platform gun.

[green shale]

for the AK 105, yes

[ashen stag]

2 hours later: giys i get crash when apply swamp thing how fix???

[wide fable]

Oh? The Swamp Thing kit has the Deer Hunter problem,now?

Also,why you need .338 LapMag to hunt deer is a mystery to me.

[green shale]

not in the same way

deer hunter kit crash wasn't fixable, swamp thing kit crash is

[ashen stag]

i think it got fixed recently anyway but it was a common question for a bit

[wide fable]

Huh. The Deer Hunter kit is that badly fucked?

So fucked that a fix is genuinely impossible?

[ashen stag]

i mean

a fix is to just

[wide fable]

How can a modder mess up that hard?

[ashen stag]

debug spawn it

[green shale]

the cause was never found in the first place, hard to make a fix if you don't know why it's crashing

[wide fable]

Fair.

Huzzah for spaghetti code,I guess.

[wide fable]

That's not a fix,that's an end user workaround.

[ashen stag]

👍

[green shale]

no need, the gun drops normally on stalkers

[ashen stag]

and that

[signal galleon]

I just checked your setup and everything is fine?

[wide fable]

...I just looted a Saiga 12 from a dead Dutyman.

Kickass day 2 loot.

Of course,all of its parts are shit,but whatever.

It's something I can (eventually) restore.

[rose musk]

outside of the KS i'm struggling to use shotguns in recent runs

Just feels so damn weak compared to HP SMG's

[wide fable]

They're cheap to run.

[rose musk]

Yeah true, if I don't have a gunsmithing tools by end of day 2 I fix one up

but once I got tools can just craft a few hundred SMG HP a day for mutants

[wide fable]

And,generally speaking,buckshot's more efficient than SMG hollow points.

For most small to medium game,one shell's all you need.
Even two-legged game.

Some notable exceptions exist,of course.

[rose musk]

Now hear me out, middle of the night. 4 lurkers in the garbage jump ypu

smg or shotgun

[wide fable]

Whelp. Add an Itcher and a Meat Chunk to my tally of artefacts pulled out of the Garbage.

Either or. Treat 'em like Cyberdemons.

I feel like it depends on the shotgun for me

pump action i'd prefer smg

probably take a saiga over it tho

you do in order to own GAMMA on GOG. you don't actually need them installed to play.

[chrome crypt]

doesn't make sense, I just thought that was just a joke or something

[green shale]

gamma is a modpack for stalker anomaly, a standalone free fan game. you owning stalker 2 or COP:EE is more or less just to make GSC happy

[small shell]

bro is really using 20 gauge against stalkers

no wonder knifes better, it actually has armor pen

[latent turret]

post MS pda haul

[pseudo lynx]

20 gauge is goated until you start fighting stalkers with medium armor but none of the early game guns will really help with that except slugs

[wide fable]

The Ithaca Stakeout,which is in 20 gauge,is all I got.

Actively working to change that,but that takes time.

[latent turret]

i also have a few rpgs

[pseudo lynx]

Ithaca is gross Toz for life

If you want a good early game gun for armored stalkers mercs drop 5.7s pretty often only downside is the ammo can be a bit pricey

[wide fable]

A bit?

I currently have a few guns in a stash awaiting parts.

Closest I have to operational is an integrally suppressed Makarov (I think) and a Vityaz.

[pseudo lynx]

Vityaz is good PB is just a worse makarov

It's suppressed,is why I want it. Dome a fucker with some AP ammo,and move on without kicking up a stink.

If you anti them enough

[wide fable]

7.62 can reliably challenge exohelms. That's my bar for an endgame anti-STALKER gun.

[river rover]

Idk

I go through entire game with a MP5

[wide fable]

...I can slap a Specter on this Mossberg 590A1.
Why?

[river rover]

Slug

Like Slug and AP slug

Lemme tell you

Are based af

Is it good? Nope
Is it fun? Fuck yeh its fun

Wayyyy better if you use w DB shotgun so you have some kind of Nitro Express

[merry rapids]

is the gamma launcher still v 6.7.0.0? Been a while I booted it up

[river rover]

I think they updated it more

And uh you can download it from GOG now if you own CoP

From GOG too

[merry rapids]

Yeah but tired of having to make account for website I may visit once

[vital nova]

How do you deal with exoskeleton enemies they still eat several AP slugs to the face

[river rover]

Then feed them more

Looks if you are saying there are better equipment, i just answered the question of why shotgun has 1-4x optic

Slug

[mental furnace]

[latent turret]

i have officialy hit over 600 mods in my mo2

[wide fable]

Is it possible to find a plain ol' AK-47 in the Zone? I don't recall ever finding one.

[random grail]

No

[latent turret]

despite the popularity the actual, original "ak47" isnt that common if i remember

[wide fable]

So,this AK-74N is more or less the closest I can get to a 47? Fair dinkum.

[latent turret]

youre most likely gonna find like, akm, akms, the knockoffs, ak74s, stuff like that

you can find AKs that take 762x39 yes,

they just wont be THE ak47

[wide fable]

checks the 74N's upgrade tree for a rechamber option

Oh. To 5.56 NATO.

Eeeh.

[latent turret]

a 7.62 rechamber for a 5.45 gun is like, stupid

for real reasons and balance ones

[wide fable]

Which 74 model takes 7.62*39?

[latent turret]

...none of them? the 74 is made to take 5.45

[wide fable]

Damn.

[latent turret]

because IRL the 5.45 round replaced the 7.62x39 round

[hybrid karma]

there's an ak that takes 7.62x39 just cant remember its name,def not 74n though

there's the special "alpha" variant too if I remember correctly,that shit is rare and d tier though

[latent turret]

if it says 74 it takes 5.45, if it doesnt, it might take 5.45,556, or 7.62

if you just wanna know what takes what you can look at all the guns in the debug menu

theres also a spreadsheet

[wanton veldt]

how do i remove reshade on the gog version of gamma

cuz im trying to find d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll and i cant find it

[wide fable]

Doming Bandits with 9*18 AP from my PB is doing wonders.

[latent turret]

reshade disabler should be somewhere in your mo2

[wide fable]

I also managed to patch up a Mossberg,so I replaced my Ithaca Stakeout.

[wanton veldt]

found it thanks

[latent turret]

you really dont want to be using 20x70 if you have any gun that takes full on 12 guage

20x70 is like bottom of the bin trash tier ammo

[lethal steeple]

why tho

20x70 buck is the same as 12g buck number wise

but cheaper and lighter

it's an all around upgrade

[latent turret]

the only guns that take it are the toz106 and ithaca

[modest tapir]

is gog version of gamma the best thing since sliced bread?

[latent turret]

the highest capacity 20x70 gun is the pump action shotgun you can start the game with, and it only has 5 rounds

correct me if im wrong but i havent seen a single other gun take 20x70

[river rover]

AKM take 7.62x39mm

And AK102 or 103 i dont remember

[warm verge]

erhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

can duty even do the main questline.

[rose musk]

yes

[wide fable]

The NPC that handles the Barrier portion of the main quest is a Loner. And a disguise can still be used if there's Freedomers present.

[rose musk]

or just kill em all

[wide fable]

That,too.

[rose musk]

[wide fable]

But a disguise would be more practical.

[warm verge]

or just

bringing rep up with them

[rose musk]

yeah just up your rep with freedom as duty

[wide fable]

If you're doing that as a Dutyer,then you already have a Freedom disguise...

[brazen cave]

Are military meant to be able to just chill in rostok??

[mild wing]

yes

so you can safely do quests for duty

[brazen cave]

No I mean like, enemy NPC mil squads

actual just soldiers walking through, and it followed me to garbage and shot me in the back of the head on entry

[mild wing]

even bandits can enter garbage from that side

just an a-life quirk

also they could've been a hit squad if they spawned on you like that

[ashen stag]

this is probably why

[wide fable]

Military and Duty are friendly,so... it makes sense. Sorta.

[rose musk]

Time to start teamkilling mercs for some nicer guns

[wide fable]

Throw on a disguise for it.

Don't want your rep to suffer.

[rose musk]

for being able to pick people out of a crowd and just dome them i'm okay with the rep loss

[wide fable]

You think a Vityaz and thirty rounds of HP ammo from it will be enough to drop a Controller?

[rose musk]

what ammo is that I have no idea

[native pulsar]

Oh my lord, trainee raid

[vital nova]

Where the rookies at

[wide fable]

9*19.

[rose musk]

easily

controllers are deceptively squishy

think the only times they manage to take me out is when they roll out 6 deep in outskirts

that or generators gangbang during MS

[hazy jacinth]
