[sharp schooner]

i have lootboxes already

levelling system for me dont fit here

[rose musk]

the special ammo mod is peak fun

[crisp ibex]

a lot of people seem to be running loot boxes

[sharp schooner]

yea but it just seems like too mjch work

[rose musk]

the people yearn to gamble

[sharp schooner]

im exhausted today so i dont really

wanna

do allthat

IM LAZY TODAY

[sharp schooner]

we live gambling

[rose musk]

all it does is add new ammo, craft it like normal and it just adds to the ammo wheel

[sharp schooner]

oh well that looks neat

uhhh

give me a step by step guide in dms lmao

im lazy

i dont wanna read

[rose musk]

I personally like the ammo icons more as well

fits into a smaller place

[sharp schooner]

EFT type

pretty sure those are EFT icons

doesnt make them any less bad

[rose musk]

I enjoy anything that makes icons smaller

[sharp schooner]

truee

[blissful ivy]

btw make sure the mod is off before opening other saves

[rose musk]

if scrolling in the inventory never bugged I wouldn't care

[blissful ivy]

it might cause issues

if you have it on on a normal run

[rose musk]

yeah was just gonna flip it on and off whenever Is wapped

[vital nova]

Is gamma the game to be playing when you're exhausted

[crisp ibex]

yes

[mental furnace]

skill expansion then

[sharp schooner]

naahh.

[sharp schooner]

apparently

[sharp schooner]

too much work

[mental furnace]

yeah downloading folder and pressing ctrl+m is sooo much work

[sharp schooner]

yeah maybe i just dont want the fucking mod thats tooo much worrk

[mental furnace]

[rose musk]

drag and drop difficulty level: impossible

[vital nova]

I'm trying an ISG playthrough and rushing Jupiter

I'm tired...

[sharp schooner]

true

[crisp ibex]

asks for mods
doeson't want to mod

[sharp schooner]

EXACTLY

im too lazy to do anything

im probably going to go nap

probably also going o get a knife in my neck while im asleep

how the zone works

[vital nova]

Lost to the zone

[sharp schooner]

i guess

i keep find hybrid suits everywhere

like i dont want it

fuck off

i already have an ace

[vital nova]

Rng giveth

[sharp schooner]

is that suffering from success or not

ive found like 4 this playthrough

[vital nova]

I think it is yeah

How long has the playthrough been

[sharp schooner]

... uhhh wdatdya want me to go off

ingame days or irl hours and time

[rose musk]

ingame days

[winter oasis]

Fellas, the old 5.45x39 vs 5.56x45 ammo debate has come to me again - picked up a pmc day 2 invictus run and have the tools to repair it, dare I change its ammo type to 5.56x45?

[wanton iris]

Is there a way to show FPS?

[rose musk]

depends on what ammo you can get from your main trader

is usually how I choose between guns

[winter oasis]

I can craft the alt by scrapping so not really an issue

Like 90% efficient

[crisp ibex]

add mod organizer to your steam library and launch through there, then you can use your steam overlay

[warm verge]

i been rockin a type C MDR since BS already

[winter oasis]

Trying to figure if theres any actual difference bar the pen dmg diffs - in real terms is a few pen points better than the dmg

[vital nova]

Ingame

[late osprey]

G36k with 5.56, have fun

[sharp schooner]

18 days

also how tf do i get people to surrender, do i need a diff mod for htat fr

[winter oasis]

I just found one aha, but the pmc has the dot and stability

[celest sparrow]

There's barely any difference unless you plan to use AP

[late osprey]

German engineering tho

[winter oasis]

True true

[crisp ibex]

theres a tier 1 artefact that makes you do bleeding damage which makes people surrender more

[sharp schooner]

yeah i heard, but i also heard that its basically broken

[vital nova]

What faction

[sharp schooner]

loner

[vital nova]

Big change from monolit

[celest sparrow]

Yeah you need to disable something for it

[sharp schooner]

Oh? do tell.

[sharp schooner]

yeah i did that already

because i keep killing freedom o nsight my rep is fucked

sucks to suck

[vital nova]

Lol

[celest sparrow]

should simply have surrender in its name within mo2

[vital nova]

Asshole loner

[sharp schooner]

what

Oh

i read that wrong

very well..

a helpful bear as usual

lor whatever

idk

[paper rock]

Man I feel like merc might just be the best of the base 9 factions with the close stash changes

[sharp schooner]

Nun here.

least when i did "surrender"

[vital nova]

What are the close stash changes

[celest sparrow]

I'll look into it

[sharp schooner]

Do. oh mysterious helpful bear.

Bistow apon me your wisdom when you like, can\

[paper rock]

Last time I played was the loose loot patch and stash locations where completely random but now they spawn in the area or in an area adjacent to where you turn in a quest at

Getting to farm up limansk stashes and getting plenty of aw and dead center stashes means you get to mid game really fucking quick and have very high chance of getting an experts right after you clear bs

[sharp schooner]

sorry for being an ass lmao

least i got my coffee now

[rose musk]

limansk stashes pre BS?

[mental furnace]

no

after

bs

[vital nova]

[rose musk]

I see

[paper rock]

I’m saying you can get them stored up for after

Also having an easy as fuck faction quest that just generates a stash is insane cause I’m pretty sure it follows the same logic

That’s on top of being a bandit ally, having the best base location, the loner truce, being blue everything makes a merc play though super fast

[rose musk]

i'm gonna lose my mind

[celest sparrow]

Guess the only way is by adding ReDone Combat AI

[rose musk]

I actually just cannot make this jump

boom

complain and it will work

works every time

[vital nova]

Loner truce?

[paper rock]

Loner makes a truce with merc after you beat bs as a merc

[vital nova]

Interesting

[wide fable]

Well,a Master Merc came to me while I was disguised. Shanked him dead,and he had Art of Artefact Melting Volume 3.

Fuckin' yoink.

Volume 2's in Jupiter,right?

[paper rock]

Yay the other bunker sells it iirc

[wide fable]

I shut down the Miracle Machine. Haven't done the Brain Scorcher yet. Still trying to find extra Advanced Tools so I could make a Heavy Armour Kit.

[paper rock]

What’s your current kit?

[lethal patrol]

you can do bs with medium just fine

[wide fable]

Wastelander Suit,ACH-7EX Headgear,Vector,AKMS.

No artefacts. Yet.

[paper rock]

That’s so fine

[wide fable]

My current objective is getting the ACE suit I looted patched up.

[paper rock]

You got a Kevlar

[wide fable]

Kevlar plate inserts don't protect the bonce.

I happen to have an Apocalypse Helm in the stash.

I'm getting blueballed by tools.

[paper rock]

Ok fine you do have a lot of upgrades for heavy clearly

[lethal patrol]

dot so visible, so nice

[paper rock]

Love the galil btw very fun gun to shoot

[lethal steeple]

in practice they're the same item but you're still lowering the gun's reliability for a like increase in 2 ap and making it use an objectively rarer round

it's a downgrade

[winter oasis]

I thought as much

I gather the real diff is the guns and performance, tend to see nato shooting faster and bullets landing quicker

[paper rock]

Fuck 5.56 all my homies hate 5.56

[hard zealot]

AR-15 that fires 5.45

half breeds

[hexed pelican]

my first loner playthrough in a year or so got stalled hard on the brain scorcher. if I play carefully enough to not get killed by the monolith I run out of time

[paper rock]

What’s your kit?

[hexed pelican]

started a monolith run and got to basically end game so now I want to go back to my loner

some m4, uh, patriot or defender or something with a 4x, magpull m700, hybrid armored suit, nerd helm

[paper rock]

Oh

[hexed pelican]

ehr, maybe I got the hybrid after my most recent try at the BS

also I had a Vykhlop which I replaced with the magpul since the last time i tried the bs

maybe I have enough stuff now, I was using some SEVA last time instead of the hybrid

i may have just had too low of a ballistic resistance - gamma has changed quite a bit since the last time I played

[winter oasis]

Brain scorcher sucks for ending most my 1 life hardcore runs

[hexed pelican]

that's the sad part, i couldn't even make it through save-scumming

[winter oasis]

Either its all perfect run, dont get hit - or i get railed halfway through

Ive done invictus once but that was 2 life

[hexed pelican]

i mean, daddysavescumming, since you can't save anywhere indoors anymore (?)

[winter oasis]

You can save at any point in BS right?

Or was that changed?

[hexed pelican]

that was not my experience

[paper rock]

Not any more

[hexed pelican]

yeah, it's new

(to me)

[winter oasis]

Ahh, people used to scum after every kill 🤣

Invictus really puts the hairs on a chest 🫡

[paper rock]

MM is a pain in the ass too now

[hexed pelican]

BS doesn't even have any campfires (afaik) while MM has them every 10 feet

[wide fable]

I legit had my best MM run ever,earlier today.

[rose musk]

I lived

[wide fable]

As it turns out,a pistol or a shotgun is legit one of the worst ways to fight mutants. SMGs or machine pistols are the way to go.

[sharp schooner]

That so?

Alright well, i appriciate it bear thingy

you know a link or shoulkd i just

look round

[winter oasis]

I got killed on BS once by that black cloud anomaly, it practically spawned on me, was patched for that to stop awhile back tho

[sharp schooner]

this feelsl ike me nr

i am leaking blood out of my nose like holy siht

its like a facuet

i think i have it mostly under control now

[celest sparrow]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/redone-combat-ai

[sharp schooner]

dont you dear say i went inside a rad zone istg

[sharp schooner]

horray

[rose musk]

might be the most profitable loop of artis i've done in a while

god tier luck

[paper rock]

DAMMMMN

[sharp schooner]

nice

[sharp schooner]

fuck am i looking at

click what i want?

[wide fable]

Now,mash 'em together with a meatloaf.

[rose musk]

did you read the install guide

it tells you which to click and for what reason

[sharp schooner]

theres an install guide?

[wide fable]

If not on the download page,then packaged with the download.

Standard practice.

[celest sparrow]

Enable 1 / 6 / 7 / 10

That's what comes with GAMMA

Enable any optional stuff you want

[sharp schooner]

Alrighty

[winter oasis]

My most profitable run is trading in patches and get lvl 2 artis

Trade 5 patches and get a lvl 2 arti feeling like

[rose musk]

for actually FINDING artis I think it is the most I have ever found in one southern loop

[sharp schooner]

trading it patches only comes 20 patches per right

or is there soemthing else i am missing

[rose musk]

there are tasks

main faction guys usually trade in bulk patches for moola

specific stalkers will trade low tier artis for a couple patches

[winter oasis]

Whats your ideal loop? Only day 2 on my current run (albeit somehow 40+ tasks completed and advanced tools already)

But probs start that grind soon

[rose musk]

for me it's AW-TC-DV-cordon-garbage. then depending on how i'm feeling/how many tasks I did on the way add in agro and yantar

use the WT shortcut to garbage if you do go to yantar

end in the holy rostok

[winter oasis]

Thats a good run

Albeit do you skip some?

I actually hate burner anomalys

With a passion

[rose musk]

depends on my suit

I got an orange one rn so i'm diving into the fire ones

[winter oasis]

Ahh, not been bless yet with a decent science one

Just the green coat (deconstructed science suit)

[rose musk]

only anomalies I consistently skip are psy anomalies unless I have a psyblock running a good ass helmet

[green shale]

[mental furnace]

[sharp schooner]

ah right hat

[rose musk]

early on you just can't function inside of them, maybe max 6 seconds in the lower tier ones

[winter oasis]

Psy fields dont tend to have many tho right? Maybe sometimes im garbo

I never seem to find any near them

[rose musk]

they can be good yeah

but walking into one with day 1 gear you're dead on 4 seconds

I just don't even look at em till i'm capped on psy

[winter oasis]

When i get yellow on heli in AW

I cry

I lost a 10 hour invictus run once because greed

I was like 'ill be ok' then RED SCREEN

[sharp schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/there-is-no-hope-there-is-no-hope-gif-13610811744268717441

[sharp schooner]

also gamma users: I aint doin allthat

also also gamma users: doesnt mod2 handle allthat?

[celest sparrow]

me when I get the mod that won't crash the game but forgot to enable the box that will crash my game if left disabled

[wide fable]

My medcial crafting trunk is starting to get hefty.

[vital nova]

True

[frigid arch]

I'm using vortex for gamma

[rose musk]

halfway to the ultimate gamble

[mental furnace]

[sharp schooner]

dont let me near your stash

@rose musk whoever had this crate was a terrorist

im all for it

note

survival kit, my RNG failed a bit :c

average locked case alright yea ima stop gambling for now

[north gale]

MRE aint the worst in the world

Although

if you're really lucky you can get skeleton keys and T3 artifacts (mostly firefly i think) in the shitty 10% boxes

[sharp schooner]

yea

[north gale]

i've gotten 2 skele keys so far

and 2 coin operated boxes

No coins or mono caches tho 😭

and god the coin boxes are heavy as FUCK

like 13+kg

[vital nova]

[mental furnace]

i got lmg and thermal scope from monolith cache

[mental furnace]

that means its got heavy artefacts

[north gale]

i'm saving up 94k for one of the 1x thermals for my BRN I got from a rifle case

but i also dont wanna be stuck with a thermal I can't use when I get something swaggier like a hone ybadger

been making dosh by hunting muties and cookin up purified food and selling it for 2.7k a pop thanks to the RPG system perk

and also tasks cuz tasks are just the best way to make money

[harsh kraken]

is battery still the best psu

[rose musk]

depends on what your goal is

[north gale]

battery can't even self charge anymore sadly

also is it bad that I have 8 swiss knives and 6 grooming kits in my backpack

it's cheaper to buy them than fixing them

[mental furnace]

i bet u gonna buy that scope and u get that same scope from next lootbox

[north gale]

i aint found a single mono box yet so I can't really say

[rose musk]

eh just toss em in the stash, used for alot of crafting and still usable at 1%

[north gale]

i'd crash out if that happened tho 😭

[harsh kraken]

win

[north gale]

Oh right I forgot about these

i dont have the psy helm yet tho idek if I can go there without my brain exploding

and frankly thermal scope >>>> psy helm

[quasi python]

you can buy therm scope?

[north gale]

You can

well it's more like a thermal red dot but

it's still thermal

[rose musk]

6 psysuckers in 1 pack

why are they all hanging out in the same spot

[north gale]

i hope you had RAPTR or something with a big mag

or a rocket launcher

[rose musk]

mp5 with HP, threw a grenade and got 3 of them thankfully

[north gale]

also the sleeper option, phantom star bomb them

[rose musk]

would have 100% died

if any extra lived

[north gale]

i've phantom star bombed rostok before

it was very funny

[wide fable]

Two Pseudogiants in Agroprom? Damn.

[harsh kraken]

oh :( so should i use empty?

it has the highest battery capacity

[north gale]

empty also has the highest charge use rate

battery has 50%

empty has 125%

i guess if you REALLY need to be hyper tanky

[harsh kraken]

so battery is still the best then-?

i dont remember what makes the psu good lmao

[wide fable]

Battery is just energy efficient. Empty gives you an active that makes you borderline invulnerable,if you're in a pinch.

[harsh kraken]

neat

ill use battery for now

[blissful ivy]

the PSUs suck, besides battery

the empty's damage resistance doesnt do much of anything

unless it was changed recently

but in the past it was like a 5% reduction or something

[quasi python]

dude the volat emerald seems like the ultimate arti to use when hunting for other artis

and i found the tier 3 arti crafting recipe so i can actually craft more to repair it

whats best arti for anti-rad

[vital nova]

Marlboro reds

[harsh kraken]

a geiger counter that caps out at 3.6

[quasi python]

is 69% enough rad res for CNPP?

[harsh kraken]

plenty

[quasi python]

thats my actual res not a joke

[lethal steeple]

you're effectively always guessing

just pre med a cigarette

and pop a radioprotectant

and don't worry about rads

cigs last like 3 entire years

[vital nova]

Rads aren’t even real you can’t see them

[quasi python]

okay and do i need to investigate all the labs and go to the hotel room to get into mono command center bunker thing?

[harsh kraken]

as long as you can cough and its not red youre fine

not all at once but its easier

hotel is usually on the way anyhow

[quasi python]

yea but how do i get the code

[harsh kraken]

its a secret

[quasi python]

ive investigated all except CNPP

and thew hotel room

[lethal steeple]

kill doctor at the swamps to get the key to the hotel room

[quasi python]

yea did it already

[harsh kraken]

idk how its found ingame but i remember it being ||the chornobyl explosion date||

[lethal steeple]

the code is hinted at in one of the documents you pick up around the labs

you need the decoder for the door to open in the generators tho

even if you input the right code, if you don't have the item it won't open

[quasi python]

decoder get from

?

nvm i got 2 of them

[sharp schooner]

W???????????????

and the barrel is in perfect condition

[north gale]

huge

[wanton iris]

found on a renagade

[quasi python]

https://tenor.com/view/yuge-huge-donald-trump-gif-5521636960626661361

[quasi python]

rene-gay

[sharp schooner]

not a bad sniper if u got nun else -w-

animations are crisp too

[quasi python]

yea true

i just hate russian scopes except OKP

[wanton iris]

its that or I get a B kit for an sks

[sharp schooner]

both are good

[vital nova]

Certified

[north gale]

SV98 can use nato scopes

whic that one is using

[sharp schooner]

intresting animations for alpha

ak alpha

[north gale]

The 762x39 guns are all bangers tbh

the ISG AK, the Mutant, the AK Alpha the BRN

all awesome guns

it really helps you can get mass quantities of it from yantar via tossing booze at the cook

[quasi python]

im not a fan of the BRN

[north gale]

it's a 762x39 nato weapon it's like the best combo ever

[quasi python]

elaborate pls

[north gale]

if you bring nemiroff to the chef at yantar you can trade it in for russian ammo

FMJs mostly

[wide fable]

Think you can find Knots in the wild? I know I've found Death Compasses in the wild,in Zaton.

[north gale]

but also stacks of LMG 762x54PP

[north gale]

Mmmmmmmmmaybe?

[quasi python]

didnt know that

[north gale]

i always make it a point to buy nemiroff whenever I can

[wide fable]

Spirit wants to use spirits to become a spirit.

[north gale]

just to stack it up to toss at the cook whose name I forgot

spirit yes

[quasi python]

now i know other than using it to craft more putinka

[north gale]

i mean

[wide fable]

I buy Nemiroff to use for medicine crafting.

[north gale]

yeah but if you want alot of ammo

yhen again you can make nemiroff into hercules

and further on into epi shots

so there's that

[wide fable]

I leave home with 1800 casings for pistols and ARs,same for powder,and 1800 pistol bullets,600 FMJ AR bullets,and 900 AP AR bullets.
I loot ammo. If I'm not using it,I rip it apart.

I'm on my way back home now,so I don't need to craft any .45 Hydra.

[north gale]

well you can toss beer at him to make more casings and shit

tho, decrafting x39 to recraft is a loss of 15 powder

unless the achievement kicks in to double it

[wide fable]

Extra ammo I do use is kept intact. If I have over my quota of eleven full magazines of each,counting whatever's currently loaded,then the extra's stuck in my ammo stash as-is.

Though,for my assault on the Brain Scorcher,I intend on severely increasing my ammo quota.

Rock-lickers don't go down easy,compared to Mercs.

[north gale]

say how many controller brains does compass take? just the 1?

i can't craft it yet but just

[wide fable]

shrugs

[north gale]

keeping note

[wide fable]

Four.

[north gale]

FOUR?!

[wide fable]

I can. Though I'm missing Volume 2.

Got lucky when a Master Merc tried to get clever.

[north gale]

FOUR BRAINS?

[vital nova]

Rock-lickers get the power of the monolit

[wide fable]

Yup. And four Chimera Hearts.

[north gale]

holy shit but it checks out

since it's Compass

[wide fable]

The recipe.

[north gale]

crafting a 100% FEmpty should make a 100% compass though right?

it used to work like that

[wide fable]

I have a Hunter's Kit and the Well Dressed achievement,and I've yet to see a single Chimera Heart. And I kill them semi-regularly!

[north gale]

and black spray ofc

well

what's your survival level?

that affects it too

[north gale]

Hm

must be getting super unlucky then

[sharp schooner]

current loadout

[north gale]

maybe

you should find yourself the Chimera Hunter TOZ

that'll totally up the chances no cap

(it's literally placebo power lol)

[wide fable]

I've learned that I dislike shotguns in GAMMA.

[north gale]

i actually have one in my stash tho the barrel's cooked

[wide fable]

I get infinitely more success in fighting mutants with an SMG. And I got lucky with a Vector drop.

[north gale]

well

mag dumping with hydrashock will naturally do better than most shotguns

i assure you it wont be as good as a RAPTR though

[quasi python]

VECTOR W/ 50 RND DRUM USING MAGS IS OP

[wide fable]

I only magdump on one target. Pseudogiants.

[north gale]

there's also

The deleter

338 federal

[wide fable]

Everything else gets controlled bursts.

[quasi python]

I HAVE YET to finda vector

[north gale]

like

[wide fable]

I don't use mags.

[north gale]

im pretty sure 338 fed does more damage than gauss rifle shots

[quasi python]

yea i was just lyk

[north gale]

but it has basically no pen so

[vital nova]

What’d you name this character

[wide fable]

.338 Federal reports 606 nominal tissue damage.

Which is... holy fuck,over.

[north gale]

The gauss rifle has stated damage of

166

gauss ammo has unknown damage mult but is probably around 1x

[wide fable]

The Gauss Batteries report a nominal tissue damage of [REDACTED]

What guns spew .338 Fed?

[sharp schooner]

a name.

[north gale]

the problem with 338 federal is that exactly ONE GUN uses it

[wide fable]

Lemme guess: It's a sniper rifle.

[sharp schooner]

a few*

yea

[north gale]

one

[sharp schooner]

sniper

[north gale]

the remington 700 Deer hunter

[sharp schooner]

pretty sure theres a few

are you usre

[wide fable]

Debug menu,go!

[north gale]

im looking in the spawn menu rn

[wide fable]

Time to browse.

[sharp schooner]

exactky what i was gonna do

as i expected

[north gale]

huh

oh yeah the sabot

[sharp schooner]

its pretty ass

[north gale]

forgot it existed

so that's like 2 guns

[sharp schooner]

yea

its very irrelivant

[wide fable]

...Why are there piles of identical Colt 1911s?

[north gale]

it also spawns only on Legend monos, Mercs and ISG so

gl finding that

[sharp schooner]

no reason

[wide fable]

Then there's the absolute freighter load of identical AKs.

Russian weapons manufacturing: "We changed one screw. New designation."

[north gale]

and having to retool the assembly lines to account for that one screw

[vital nova]

Can’t perfect perfection

[native pulsar]

there is NO hope

[last mesa]

This is a modpacks...

That just mean

Bazillion of models imported from other games...

Consider how anomoly work with gun

[wide fable]

Universal rail mounts. How to improve a soldier's hit probability: Give 'em optics.

[last mesa]

You should say thank that 100 active guns are more compatible to most attachment and sight

(There are 300 gun files left in the game and they are not obtainables )

[wide fable]

One more,and I can make a Heavy Armour Kit and retain my ability to craft.

After that,I can focus on a suite of T1 artefacts to protect myself as I march on the Brain Scorcher.

...Is it just me,or does this look more wrecked than usual?

[quasi python]

the monos inside the sarcoph are tough

[last mesa]

Just use ap fr

[quasi python]

yea thats what i was doing but i dont have the right setup...

[vital nova]

AP is like firing gold

[last mesa]

And that is what you have to do

[quasi python]

i am using the mk14 with AP but i dont have a good scope for close range

[last mesa]

You suppose to stack up any ap ammo you could find

Either use the gun that use that ammo or just dismantling and crafting to the gun you have

[atomic pebble]

fault of BaS (?

I found interesting that Global War 0.5 has 5 bazillion of weapon packs on it but don't has duplicates

[quasi python]

my cozy lil corner at yanov... had to delete the demo watermark

[vital nova]

Stacking little crates on big crate

[analog basalt]

hi question, anyone know where this stach could be?

its in the northeast house in cordon

[north gale]

parkour

[quasi python]

yea one is for guns and attach, the other is for outfits

[north gale]

Like I said

parkour

[analog basalt]

tried looking on the roof already hmm

lemme try again lol

[north gale]

oh fr?

uhm

check inside?

[analog basalt]

yeah theres nothing there

[north gale]

but really there's a stash on the roof in the lower one

a backpack

[analog basalt]

yeah theres a different stash a bit to the right but that's not the one 😭

mhm the backpack

[north gale]

wtf

[analog basalt]

trying to find a dif one lmao

not new ive had several playthroughs already which is why im so stumped at this one lol ive never had such a shitass stash location in cordon

welp hopefully someone here knows bcs i rly need some gunsmithing tools rn

[quasi python]

i got like 58 lapua rnds... should i just go through sarcoph with barret? lol

[sharp schooner]

you'll need more than that.

at least 100

[analog basalt]

id def bring something close range

do u have like a p90 or smth? with that and 100 lapuas id say go for it

[quasi python]

i got mp7.... i can cook up a bunch of 5.7 AP

bout to cook up the MDR with 7.62 AP and 50 rnd drums then hit the sarcoph

[last mesa]

Nice shot to the head is enough

[quasi python]

luckily im up in jupiter so im gonna need to gather artis and stuff to seel for money to buy batches of AP ammo to make into 7.62

[quasi python]

yea but ima go in blastin

[last mesa]

Nah trust me

Go for the head

[quasi python]

i got the mutant and the howa

[analog basalt]

howas goated just use that

[quasi python]

yea but then i gotta buy a crap ton of 5.56 ap

[analog basalt]

fair

if ur gonna use lapua a lot id just use the mp7 as a backup then

[quasi python]

im not gonna

im probably gonna do the MDR

5.7 is ok againt mutants right? cus i need something good in my pistol slow

slot

[wide fable]

Huh. I guess Burers and Psysuckers don't get along.

[quasi python]

oh i could run the saw lol

or PKP

[analog basalt]

5.7 sucks ass against mutants def dont use that

its an anti-stalker round only p much

[quasi python]

i got the raptr but i wanna use my slot for a close and long range guns

idk

im prolly gonna do the howa like u said cus i got 7 60 rnd mags

so 5.56 AP will have to do

[last mesa]

Nope

You are going to waste so much ammo and weight on your back just to kill few mutants

Meta has set in stone

Ppsh

Shotgun

And any 45 acp hydra shok

[north gale]

well 357 magnum guns are oikay too

[last mesa]

Magnum HP yes

But

Weight.

[north gale]

true

[last mesa]

You would not want to use 357 on a flesh or dog either

Im pretty sure the hydra shok is 1.15x hit base so

[quasi python]

if only i could find the vecotr to make my anti muti

[last mesa]

For x1.45 coming from

357

Nah

[north gale]

hydrashock hits for 80

[last mesa]

You are really better with a pistol that use hydrashok

[north gale]

sorry 60

[last mesa]

You sure ?

It's

X1.15

[sharp schooner]

brah.

[last mesa]

Idk check the ammo multi

Gun stats appeared on in game menu is broken

You should check ammo.xlt for better stats

[north gale]

my ammo stats display nominal damage rather than mults

[last mesa]

It's 1.15 or grok changed to x1.05 whatever

[north gale]

radom ass stash in garbage 😂

proto exo

[last mesa]

Wanna hear some thing funny

Heavy exo prob the best shit you can use

Or were

If the armor tier change a lot

[north gale]

the exosuits or the proto exos? cuz the exosuits is

[last mesa]

[north gale]

a diff thing

[last mesa]

Proto exo is

Heavy exo

They were the best gear because of the amount of artefacts you can strap to it

[north gale]

i remember the duty forest battlesuit being fucking awesome

doesn't have the BR since it's debug menu but these stats very bad (lol)

i think all the other proto exos might be better than it

[last mesa]

Fully upgrade ?

[north gale]

that's the baseline

compare it to this

[last mesa]

Im pretty sure some only have +3

Which is ass

[north gale]

+50% base burn resist

[sharp schooner]

debug menu is normally unreliable for stats

less u have sum that fixes it

[north gale]

i can console it in after quicksaving for btter comparisons

[sharp schooner]

id do that

[north gale]

so all the proto exos can get the +1 slot upgrade

lookin at it

all of em got BR31

(which is +1 of my keeper of freedom suit at 94% lol)

the X18 suit has the worst defense statline across the board of all of em

tho the ISG proto exo comes close to its shittyness

the 2 best ones are... duty PSZ9 proto exo first and the SSP99M proto exo 2nd

[hexed pelican]

huh, never saw that one before

[north gale]

i've never seen one, lucky

[hexed pelican]

finally got through the BS with my loner - morphine and a little luck. Oh, and clicking the giggle switch over to full auto.

[north gale]

i wonder if I can bribe duty man to give me a PS9 proto from this X18 suit

probably not

like besides the BR and bullet resist the rest of the statlines on the X18 are worse than most medium armors

[last mesa]

it's more of +1 or +1+ slots

im pretty sure eco exo can have 2 upgrades for base 4

[north gale]

uhhh

[last mesa]

basically exo proto that has 6 artefacts

or i remebered it wrong

[north gale]

there's only 5 slots you can use tho

[last mesa]

you can have more than 5

[north gale]

huh

[last mesa]

if you reach 6th +

there will be an arrow that showcase the 6th+

[north gale]

oh

oh no

[last mesa]

yes.

[north gale]

the proto exo has

THREE upgrades

this shit goes up to 7 what

[last mesa]

yeah

oh right

7 slots

it's funny

[north gale]

i need to see if the others do too

brb consolling

[last mesa]

1 pelt + 1 attachment + 5 artefacts

that was why some people prefer Exo proto or heavy exo at end game than nosorog

BEFORE THE TIER CHANGE

but it's still usable if you want some weight increase

[north gale]

so it appears

[wide fable]

Aren't proto-exos the best things going for pure hauling?

[north gale]

that X18 might be unique in its 7 attachments

need to do more research

[last mesa]

it's the best of the best for anything in a sense

btw don't use debug menu stats even you have "accurate stats mod"

[north gale]

ONLY if you have a full set of 5 artifacts and pelt and armor plate/attachment tho

freedom suit has 7 slots max as well

[last mesa]

and yeah reason why ISG nosorog is insane because

it's

6 slots

[north gale]

stalker proto has 6

isg proto also gets 7

[last mesa]

but hey i can change the armor stats via number change on xlt file

i let proto have 8-10 artefacts belt

https://tenor.com/view/agnes-tachyon-plushy-tachyon-agnes-tachyon-plushy-ran-gif-15732661027490311807

[north gale]

the SSP99M proto has only 5 but it has very high base stats anyway

oh

[wide fable]

Five slots is amazing for a Duty suit.

[north gale]

The skat Proto exo also has 5 slots capacity

[north gale]

nah that's the ecologist proto

but the ecologist proto comes with 76% base burn resist

[wide fable]

Chillin' in a Burner.

[latent turret]

i wish protos were less rare, ik theyre goated supposedly

[north gale]

but yeah MAYBE I wont toss this X18 suit in the garbage bin

[latent turret]

id like to use one

[north gale]

tho i'd prefer to have a beefier suit since I aint rolling with full T4 artifacts lol

[quasi python]

i have decided to run 45 pistol, mutant, and mk14 for my adventure to CNPP and sarcoph

[north gale]

so i was hoping to trade i t in for the duty skat proto exo if possible

[quasi python]

im really squishy though

[last mesa]

you can negate most t4 artefact downside

[quasi python]

i got apoco helm and pathfinder

[last mesa]

with that amount of artefacts slot

or belt slot

PELT

and attachment

[north gale]

it's not that

it just that

[last mesa]

those are cheaper and effective way

[north gale]

I physically can't use the suit becaus all its power comes from rocking T3s and 4s

plus max attachements and max qualit ypelt

[last mesa]

i mean it's End Game stuff

[north gale]

yeah

[last mesa]

or were

idk about the meta when grok changed the armor tier

[north gale]

aren't they even better now since they only need heavy repair kit?

[last mesa]

yup

[north gale]

assuming you can actually find one anyway

[last mesa]

you suppose to make one

and it's less gamble to find the recipe

[north gale]

make one????

fucking what

[last mesa]

heavy armor repairkit

[north gale]

ah yeah

i mean find the proto exo

they're rarer than normal exos

[last mesa]

they are not that rare if you hit some of the lab early

[north gale]

it sure would be a shame if something were to happen to gavrilenko huh?

[wide fable]

Who?

[north gale]

the duty nosorog guy who has a cloning machine in his basement out front of rostok

[wide fable]

Aah.

[north gale]

he's like 1 of 2 named NPCs that can respawn

[wide fable]

And lemme guess: You plan on Phantom Star bombing him until he coughs up a Nosorog?

[north gale]

no I was just joking

i dont even have enough rank points or scav level for it to drop

HOWEVER.

this man...

[wide fable]

I saw a guy do an Ironman Renegades run,and a shop had flamethrowers in it. And he regularly had molotovs handy. Anyone know what mod(s) have that shit,so I can grab 'em?

[north gale]

fraid not could take a look in mods posting tho

[wide fable]

I doubt it's included with the GAMMA package.

[fallen pond]

Scientists are 90% sure that if you DNA test every European prostitute . Most of them will have some Ukrainian in them somewhere

[north gale]

makes you wonder why molotovs aren't in stalker by default

like booze is dime a dozen

[fallen pond]

thank you Ukraine

Thanks you

[wide fable]

Well,I suspect it has something to to with the irradiated material already extant in the Zone. Burn that,and you put it back into the air to be spread around.

[north gale]

true

[wide fable]

Still,I want my war crimes projectors.

In RimWorld,fire is an excellent less lethal weapon.

[fallen pond]

Typically, molotovs are made with tampons rather than rags

[north gale]

getting closer to my Thermal sight

[fallen pond]

They expand and don’t leave any room for liquid to soak through

And obviously there aren’t any tampons in the zone lmao

[fallen pond]

If we were worried about that we wouldn’t be lighting campfires

[lethal steeple]

booze might be ubiquitous but stalker also incorporates the drunk slav caricature very heavily in its world, people in the zone wouldn't take lighting booze on fire very lightly

[north gale]

stashes have been too kind to me honestly, I could probably sell these for a killing

[atomic pebble]

Stalker don't has enough vodka

[foggy geyser]

Just watched a controller get shredded by a whirlygig

[north gale]

Actyally nvm they dont pay nearly enuff for these gauss batteries

[sharp rapids]

could someone happen to show their ammo maker folder for me to compare, and also possibly specifically the ltx files in gamedata>config>items>ammo?

im tryna fix an issue im having where like no matter how much i disassemble, i get 15 parts out of it

i disassemble 1 9x19mm, i get 15 casings and 15 powder

[north gale]

it's a known issue

14k more till I can buy me a thermal scope

[lethal steeple]

try disabling momopate loot stabilizer in mo2

[sharp rapids]

i did, still have the issue

[lethal steeple]

ah well it was a hunch anyways

[sharp schooner]

Oooohh~

[sharp schooner]

well i kidna had to trash that save bc im installing some new mods that will

cuck my current save

however(coma)

im spawning in a good damn boost

gonna have some fun

[vital nova]

[north gale]

Butcher are you good? do you need me to get you a lawyer to file a restraining order on these guys?

[sharp rapids]

unfortunate 😔 i genuinely think the zone blessed me bc its fr unfixable so far

unless i can find a way to turn on the mcm settings for ammo maker bc otherwise it doesnt show

[foggy geyser]

military sends a hitsquad after me and it's just a single guy
not even a very good guy
im insulted

[north gale]

1 singular bloke

[foggy geyser]

he ran inside and punched me in the face before i immediatly stabbed him in the head
like dude you are holding your gun

maybe they just hated him back at base

"Ivan, i order you to go kill boogeyman for motherland"

It kinda looks like a mass effect cutscene

[rose musk]

[light mantle]

THREE SHOTGUNS

kinda comical

[neon jacinth]

early game cash injection

[crisp ibex]

BRN180 or M4A1? I've never used the BRN but its somewhat comparable. lower velocity but higher damage somehow even tho chambeered in 5.56

[crisp ibex]

oh wtf brn isn't 5.56

[lethal steeple]

there's no reason to ever look at the bullet speed stat unless it's super below 400

[crisp ibex]

intriguing

[lethal steeple]

for whatever reason grok decided it was a fantastic idea to deflate the displayed number for bullet speed by 33%

and with how short distanced the game is 90% of the time really anything that's above 600 is esentially hitscan

like you're not ever going to notice a jump between 800 and 1200 even at like 60m out, which is on the extreme end of firefight distances in this game

even though the number jump on paper is huge

[lethal grove]

guys after update NPC started to shoot and detect you through bushes much easier, do u have the same problem? (i play on max hard)

[mild gale]

Why the fuck are some of the viewmodels so massive 😭😭😭

M4A1 with PN-23 is horrendous

[lethal steeple]

the pn23 is a massive scope tho

[lethal grove]

the more i see Grok's updates, the more parallels with NLC mode i detect, it's fate of every mode

[lethal steeple]

that was done literally almost 4 years ago tho

[crisp ibex]

RF receiver quests worth it? literally never done them lmao

[mild gale]

Tbh it ain't much better with anything larger than an acog

I know I haven't seen all of the scopes but fuck, man. It's a big ass viewmodel without a scope

[lethal grove]

no ignore it or turn it off

[stark quartz]

they tend to be a bit tedious and the rewards are hit or miss, you will make money/ find good items faster honestly doing anything else and hitting stashes while youre out and about.

[lethal grove]

literally white cache loot

[stark quartz]

fr

[mild gale]

I keep doing them thinking "this time it'll be worth it" and it never fucking is

Coulda sworn there was a feature where you could tell em "nah that place is ass I'll pass" and you could get basically a reroll when they pipe up next

[rose musk]

right click pda skip rf package

[gaunt blade]

i thought the rf receiver loot could have a decent chunk of ammo at least tho yeah? that doesn't seem too bad

maybe not worth going out of your way for but definitely if you're in the area

[foggy geyser]

are there any tweaks i can make to give the artifact melter infinite uses?

arti grind is painful enough as it is

[mild gale]

Holy fuck thank you

Ain't no way I'm looking for one in truck cemetery

[last mesa]

TC is so nice but 50 percent of the time there's either 100 lurkers or a psuedogiant

[lethal grove]

not that hard to be honest, rf missions mostly have specific locations all the time, especially when we talk about missions

[heavy thunder]

this a mod?

[foggy geyser]

no
factions you piss off enough will send squads of stalkers to you

they know where you are

and they will ambush you in your sleep too

[heavy thunder]

haven't encountered those yet

[foggy geyser]

woke up a couple times in my presumably secure hideout to a squad of fanatics standing over me

[heavy thunder]

must have them really pissed off

[foggy geyser]

i like taking out assassination missions

im a merc at heart

why wait just hop down to officeworks

[marsh bridge]

ok i just checked its 20mb a second

[foggy geyser]

2 mb a second isnt gonna take 12 hours
thats lying to ya

that's bits

not bytes

1 byte is 8 bits

[marsh bridge]

so 2 MB then

[near estuary]

so divide by 8
you got a speed of 2,5 MB/s

thats fast for aussie internet

last couple places ive been i got lucky to get even 1 mb/s

depends on the location

or is it this bad even in big cities?

[marsh bridge]

im not in a big city

Got a question for you guys. I'm thinking of starting a merc run, but I want to start with the Aug 9mm. What do you guys think will be a appropriate point cost for it if it was in the start a loadout?

For reference the MP5 is 500 points and shoots 9x19

The Aug shots 9x19 and comes with a laser sight

NZ is closest

[foggy geyser]

Mullvard btw is dirt cheap and very good

good thing im wearing my brown pants

[marsh bridge]

i got 0 money

[scenic trench]

... you're cheating (pretty sure its outskirts)
where are the other 3 (black) chimmy's?

[mental furnace]

i ate them

[foggy geyser]

it is outskirts but thankfully there was only the one

[scenic trench]

did you have enough seasoning, droon?

[mental furnace]

i got stove in my ass

gasoline was provided by death monolith im walking gas station now

[obtuse storm]

Feels like the only logical place to put a hideout, ie close to traders and some place central, is Yanov station, which just so happens to run like absolute garbage, crawling to 5 fps at times.

[scenic trench]

hmm
trying to think of a good Zaton spot

[obtuse storm]

Its rough. Pripyat would be okay, but you cant teleport from Pripyat to Rostok can you?

Basing at Jupiter, you have all the vendors within arms reach, and you can easily move to South or North

[scenic trench]

turn off fair fast travel while moving your base, then keep hopping to Laundromat and back?

[obtuse storm]

Problem with Jupiter (Yanov Station), is that looking in certain directions causes fps to drop to 5

[obtuse storm]

We'll see. I think Grok hasnt added a mod for shelter anywhere has he? So its like you can place your bed, and be emission safe, but you cant sleep in it

[scenic trench]

jupiter, would say either Zulu's tower or just the yanov cellar

[obtuse storm]

Yeah Zulu tower, just not fun dropping to 5 fps looking in the direction of Yanov

[mental furnace]

lame

[marsh bridge]

with this new fortnite x stalker collab i gotta think of a nice spot to base at

[mental furnace]

be a chad and make base in red forest

[marsh bridge]

i was thinking maybe wild territory

some hideout over there would be nice

[mental furnace]

[obtuse storm]

#📎to-do message

Seems like its this

[scenic trench]

west side of the bridge (that locked door) or the symbiont tunnel

[marsh bridge]

ekkkologists at it again!

[obtuse storm]

Problem with Wild Territory is its in the south, and its just next to the one of the best hideout locations in the game, Rostok

[mental furnace]

i have my base in red forest tunnel

[marsh bridge]

if im going bandit or a merc friendly faction it would be good for early/midgame

[mental furnace]

near bridge to limansk

its peak

[foggy geyser]

Im also based out of zulu tower
goated location
just dont forget to barricade the entrance and bedroom doors for nighttime visitors

[scenic trench]

the... uhm
that warehouse in between construction site and sniper nest?
can't describe it better rn

[marsh bridge]

mercs are fucking everywhere there and they can just passively protect my shit and let me know if theres hostile squads coming along

[marsh bridge]

i think i know the one you're talking about

thats got moss anomalies in it thoug

h

fuck moss

fucking hate moss

[obtuse storm]

I seen someone put a base here, but its like mutant spawn everywhere

[mental furnace]

there is wagon in WT which is emission safe

and good for base

[scenic trench]

where?

[analog palm]

free food

[mental furnace]

i remember that is was green and right to the train with wagons

[obtuse storm]

Hideout in Meadow is another one i see, but that one i dont understand

[scenic trench]

main benefit is if you've killed the single loner & bandit squads + couple mutants?
you shouldn't get any fresh spawns there
(or at least never noticed any while abusing meadow for LS )

[obtuse storm]

Yeah, just seems like, if youre going to base that far down, why not just base in the farmhouse where the repair guy and vendor are

[marsh bridge]

dosn't that have a radiation pocket surrounding that though?

[scenic trench]

because fuck darkscape
and prolly not nearly as secure or roomy
