Don't base up in crowded areas, and raise your goodwill to 1000+

we gta online now

[jagged musk]

Tbf these things never stopped me from camping the merc base roof as a loner ever...

[lethal steeple]

The Mercenary Syndicate does not take liking to your presence and your littering of their main base of operations.
Your reputation with the mercenaries has decreased.

[lunar fossil]

Yeah this seems like some Anthology level bullshit,

where army is allied to duty, while army stalkers are hostile to duty but friendly with freedom.

[jagged musk]

Good, more loot from their dead bodies

[lethal steeple]

hey it's lore respectful tho

[rose musk]

if grok wanted to nerf rostok just make it so 50% less stalkers are in that zone at any given time

[obtuse storm]

I dont think the current faction relations are a problem personally. But im just along for the ride

[lunar fossil]

Or he can buff surrounding locations pop/trader wise

[warm verge]

just get 1000+ goodwill lol

[rose musk]

Just

[warm verge]

can you guys read

[rose musk]

yeah we've read people saying to get 1000+ goodwill 8 times already

doesn't change the arguments being made

[thick sedge]

crazy that killing around 30~40 lifeless zombies for Freedom barrier quests only give me 100+ goodwill

[lethal steeple]

get 1000+ goodwill with a hostile faction to proceed with the storyline, see there's this quirky mechanic called disgui-- sir do not press the uninstall button sir!!!!!!!

[warm verge]

it's really to do it why would you argue against it

or just

[thick sedge]

anyway thanks Lukash for the 25k bye

[rose musk]

your brain is rotted and that's okay

[warm verge]

don't go to shitstock

[lethal steeple]

dude you have to go there to proceed with clear sky's story mode

[thick sedge]

dude dude dude

[obtuse storm]

Fr tho, i avoid the disguise system like the plague.

[lethal steeple]

nah it was more about getting the 1k gw through disguise more than disguise itself

[rose musk]

it's like super easy to get 1000+ goodwill tho man I could do it in my sleep

[warm verge]

just wipe duty out

[normal island]

I mean yeah, but what does "being on the table" really mean if no one has made a mod with that mechanic

[hollow wadi]

TRUEEEEEEEEEEEE

[thick sedge]

I boil dutyers ALIVE

[normal island]

I know the CWWP people were making mortarts for their pack

But we all know how that is going

[hollow wadi]

You only need the Loner Barman, not Duty

[atomic pebble]

These changes probably are for how are done some stories tho

[lethal steeple]

no one supported the idea enough to bite

it was bait to have someone else do it

[warm verge]

yea.

[normal island]

Many such cases

[lethal steeple]

at the time grok had no idea how to grab coordinates using scripts

[normal island]

Do you think that if ATHI didn't make all of the 3DSS work for him, that he would've added it to GAMMA?

[lethal steeple]

the hit fx particles in gbo came about around that time

i implemented those

[lethal steeple]

nah he wouldn't have added it to gamma if it wasn't made specifically for it

3dss existed before athi patched everything

[fringe sinew]

sks or mosin

[lethal steeple]

everyone wanted 3dss for gamma at that time

[lunar fossil]

I haven't played it for long time before uninstalling, because the game was too buggy/weird.

[lethal steeple]

it was always a resounding no

[atomic pebble]

Yeah, anthology isn't exactly stable

[lethal steeple]

athi then did all the work for gamma

[thick sedge]

you would want a semi auto dmr more than a bolt action sniper

[lethal steeple]

and suddenly it's "it has always been part of the vision"

[sick yoke]

thought people liked killing duty but when given the chance to kill duty more it's suddenly "nooooo that's bad!!!" lol

[warm verge]

[thick sedge]

nooo

[hollow wadi]

Watch TRUE PiP and that WIP engine be done and it's all suddenly part of the vision

[warm verge]

always target duty

[lethal steeple]

yeah lmfaooooooo

[thick sedge]

wip engine you mean the 64bit engine in #1035807043933720576

is that the one

[lethal steeple]

anomaly already runs on a 64b engine

fuck is you talking about

that was like THE selling point of the monolith fork

[hollow wadi]

It's the multithreading engine, rather than x64

[warm verge]

[lethal steeple]

it was 64bit when no other xray fork had x64

[hollow wadi]

Though it still requires a new game

[warm verge]

yea

[thick sedge]

eye sea

[normal island]

Funny to think that if ATHI suddenly burns out and drops the project, Grok is absolutely fucked guns wise

[thick sedge]

but new game for multithreading

[atomic pebble]

Lost World Origin had a X64 engine in 2014

[thick sedge]

sacrifice

[normal island]

He can't EVER add another gun if that happens

[thick sedge]

[lethal steeple]

but stalker came out in 2018 what are you talking about lil bro

[normal island]

Because I doubt he's going to put in the legwork that means putting the 30 something scopes that ATHI has put on every gun

[warm verge]

[atomic pebble]

Tho, as CoC is technically a much more capable base a X64 version of it was pretty much the best engine

[timid hornet]

where tf do I find the artifact power exo battery recipies?

[hollow wadi]

[proper drum]

When I’ve posted a clip 2 or 3 months ago with jamming 3 times in a row while 0.72% was displayed as a chance (and I told that the same jam parade has happened just before), and theoretically guessed if the displayed and a real chance are somewhat different I was called an unlucky shitter by you personally btw

[hollow wadi]

The unluckiness is still relevant

[lethal steeple]

hey it's funny because i patched the chance display to be accurate

you're an unlucky shitter too, yeah

[proper drum]

It was before any jam patches

Just when 094 came out somewhat

[lethal steeple]

and people now complain more because it's most of the time sub 1%

[proper drum]

Tbh I got used to this quite soon, no death on Ironman coz of jams except the clip related;
I’m more concerned about CS - Duty relationships and worry about them more than about mine

[lethal steeple]

my money is on that grok will add a random ass positive multiplier at the end of the jam chance calc to "fix it to actually reflect how it is in gameplay"

[proper drum]

First of all I don’t understand why people hate duty so much, currently mercs loners and dutiers have equal amount of friendly and hostile factions, make dutier life at south hellish is funny

[lethal steeple]

why hellish tho when below rostok they had one (1) enemy faciton

no, wait, two

bandits and renegades

[warm verge]

DUTY.

MUST DIE.

[lunar fossil]

In the end, the relation change will be barely noticeable in long run.

[proper drum]

I mean if duty and cs would be enemies you have cs as an enemy, military experience but you don’t shoot hobo loners

[hollow wadi]

Disguise users will not notice it either, I'll tell you that much
Oh no, I need another disguise for Rostok, woe is me

[lunar fossil]

They hate Duty because...
Ehh
Uhhh
Its just discord and people always want to ragebait

[rose musk]

base good

all the reason they need

[lunar fossil]

And they envy the drip

And they envy the drip

[normal island]

The drip of the same armor everyone has but painted red and black

[lunar fossil]

red + black is nice combination and makes them standout

[hollow wadi]

Why's everyone posting East German National Army

[lunar fossil]

In KVMA tho, their drip is eternal

[normal island]

Because Tenor doesn't have gifs of nazi soldiers, understandably so

[normal island]

Rather kill myself than use that mod tbf

[dusk vessel]

except east germany used very simmilar uniforms

[lunar fossil]

Fair enough

[dusk vessel]

and also coloured videos

[proper drum]

That “first of all” was devoted to not just hate coz of taste but that nobody bothered about the possible balance change that makes the faction even less appealing for Ironman runs

[normal island]

I see red and black unifroms and I shoot

No questions asked

No hesitancy

It's on sight

[proper drum]

If you see red renegade

Shoot on spot

[normal island]

Yes

[proper drum]

They have redline on

[normal island]

ITS ON FUCKING SIGHT

[lunar fossil]

What about the red/black sky after emission?

[normal island]

FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOM RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[hollow wadi]

I mean that WOULD get you banned

[normal island]

What about a gif of that scene in Inglorious Basterds where they are lighting hitler the fuck up with two MP40s

Doesn't get more antifash than that

[obtuse storm]

ive got mates in Duty, fine bunch of men.

[hollow wadi]

Idk, never watched it
People get in trouble for some of the gifs/banners/pfps

Mostly with me

[normal island]

You should watch it

Amazing movie

wtf is wrong with you dude

[hollow wadi]

Last thing I genuinely watched was Columbo

And that was in the Summer

[normal island]

Imagine not watching a movie every two days

[lethal steeple]

aaaah, cuz i wanna install redone mod and start a duty run

[tame talon]

where can i find Gamma git repository in my filesystem, i want to configure rebase true for it, cant update my game because git

[hollow wadi]

Is it yellow error text

[tame talon]

I tried configuring rebase true globally, but it did not help

cuz I previosly set fast forward only option

[hollow wadi]

I guess you can ignore helper questions

[tame talon]

ah, yes it is

[hollow wadi]

!v8

[dawn marten]

@tame talon Update your GAMMA Launcher:

1. Add your GAMMA and Anomaly folders to the Windows Defender exclusions and disable Real-time protection temporarily, before downloading the file.
   You can find these settings here:

Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Manage settings

2. Grab the latest launcher: G.A.M.M.A. Launcher v8.3 (mediafire link)
3. Extract everything from the archive, into the your GAMMA folder/.Grok's Modpack Installer folder
4. Launch the G.A.M.M.A. Launcher.exe with Admin Rights and either:

Follow the instructions from a Helper that is helping you.
OR
Press Install/Update G.A.M.M.A without disabling anything.
⠀

[tame talon]

I'll do that, thanks

[late osprey]

So what ya'll think about the recent poll where Grok entertained the idea of Duty and Clear Sky being enemies?

[sonic walrus]

how does one obtain a nosorog suit? sheer luck?

[sonic walrus]

would make sense though

[frank oxide]

i seen a lot of questioning because "it doesn't make sense" or "faction ruined waah"

imo for gameplay purposes alone it makes sense, i suggested this exact idea about half a year ago

Clear Sky shared the same relations as Loners but they were neutral with Mercs, its basically an ecologist lite situation
Since mercs are a good source for loot - not many people were interested in playing as CS

Now duty, military and bandits will serve as lootbags with an interesting spin on the southern faction relations

[sonic walrus]

CS are drippy and their base is kinda chill, gives me "going fishing with my grandpa in summer" vibes

[late osprey]

I always kinda saw Duty as a faction that would oppose anyone that tried to interfere with or research the zone. It's funny that they are even neutral with ecologists but I guess that needs to stay in order for Duty to have a main story line

[frank oxide]

each CS run was:

• Spend about 12 hours doing tasks and milking the Last Dawn quests for medical items, tools, guns, armor
• Take a guide directly from the main base to Rostok
• Milk Rostok for cash because its just a honeypot

[frank oxide]

i mean ecos have no beef with anyone really and they do actual research which can help Duty later with their goal of "destroy the zone"

so that makes sense

[last mesa]

The only people who are against turning duty vs CS enemies are the one that tryhard CS Invictus lmao (opinion) xD

[late osprey]

Fair point actually. But why are Freedom guys and Mercenaries allied though? Didn't they used to have beef in one of the OG games where Mercs picked off Freedom guys?

[frank oxide]

Clear Sky approach is different, especially the game faction with Lebedev

they don't want the zone to be gone, instead they want it to remain it's own ecosystem under supervision

that's the polar opposite of Duty

[frank oxide]

CoP established that Mercs and Freedom agreed to a ceasefire due to the amount of blood that both sides shed

Uncle Yar tells you about it

they did also work together in CS

so it just depends on the group of mercs

[late osprey]

Ah fair enough, I usually skip over the dialogues. Guess I should read it from time to time

[frank oxide]

a lot of anomaly relations don't make sense

like freedom/mercs allied with bandits

[last mesa]

Bro, this is custom modpack. Lore is here background at the best, at worst obstacle to be sacrificed on the balance gameplay's altar. There is no need for doing lectures here.

[late osprey]

Funniest shit ever. Mercs don't mind bandits, but those other bandits from the swamp? Fuck those guys🤣🤣

[frank oxide]

well renegades were always created in mind to be murdered and not cared about

[last mesa]

The fact that mercs are western guys is also Anomaly or even GAMMA (I am not sure) propaganda.

[frank oxide]

they only exist so that you didn't fuck up relations with actual bandits in Clear Sky

[last mesa]

Indeed, anyway game like CS doesn't exist, so nothing of value is lost

If I'd start my STALKER gameplay from CS I wouldn't be playing STALKER today, not ever again

[frank oxide]

Hot Take: CS is overhated and can be a fun game if you just play it good

[late osprey]

To be fair, CS did some things right.

[last mesa]

Like annoying player and making him consider his live choices ;x

[frank oxide]

i was listening to all the lies that people said about the game, how unfair it is and broken etc etc

90% of those were disproven by simply giving it a try

i dunno

#╟🔰☢newbies-chat message < if you like walls of text

[last mesa]

But sarcasm appart, the only good think about CS I can tell is Red Forest. Nothing less, nothing more. Also prototype of upgrades mechanism.

[late osprey]

Faction relations were greatly improved as well

Not just relations, but the overall way in how they worked

[mental furnace]

duty lost its only nato ammo supplier

[frank oxide]

counterpoint: crafting and barter system

also

[mental furnace]

barter system

[frank oxide]

you're lying if you tell me you went out of your way to go into the great swamps as duty

you don't even get brought to the base

[mental furnace]

fast travel

[late osprey]

Anyone from Duty using NATO weapons should be deemed as a cardinal sin

[frank oxide]

Wh uses that

[mental furnace]

[frank oxide]

[mental furnace]

me when i need go to swamps

[last mesa]

I played CS two, or three times in my live. Last time I played it 1 year ago. This was PAINFULL and MASOCHISTIC experience. Never fucking more. My issues starting from nightmarish early on swamps with weapons that are so powerfull as curses you throw into those bandits (renegades), your hero has a hemophilia and bleeds out like a perfotrated plastic water bottle - do not have bandage - well you are dead. First visit to the Rostok and infamous machine gun sequence (getting from top was not much better tbh), perfect grenade accuracy, bandits who steal stuff from you and there is nothing you can about it etc etc. Never fucking more again, this game does not exist basta. Oh, forget about nights. Those are the best.

[late osprey]

The only thing I hate about the swamps is how annoying it is to clear the pump station without a scope

[last mesa]

Last time I didn't even finished it, becouse Strelok got bugged in CNPP. I then closed game and moved it where it belongs - to the bin.

[late osprey]

I somehow never encountered any serious bugs while playing the OG games

Got lucky I guess

[marsh bridge]

gonna take over an hour to download some dick damn!

[last mesa]

Perhaps, CoP was the peak OG game imho (in terms of design*) and I wish GSC took this design approach with Stalker 2, SoC was okay. Tried playing Radiophobia 3 and apart some stupid things, like new quests which are the wall of text or go find 16 NPCs in the world and some immersion breaking stuff - It's kinda okay. And CS doesn't exist as I wrote earlier.

[near estuary]

Is there anyone who also hates the WP/NATO division in trader supplies? I just feel like your faction shouldn't be a factor when choosing a gun to repair. I know that you can farm rep with a faction from the opposing side but even then you probably have to travel across multiple areas to buy ammo and it gets annoying quick.

[mental furnace]

[cedar bramble]

when in yanov and using WP weapons you cant even use zaton trader, because not all ammo is present there, you need to go to rostok.

[last mesa]

Unless something changed majorily since last major update and Grok changed crafting system - the trader ammo issue can be solved quite effectively and easily by ammo farm + crafting + having mutiple weapons on change. For instance I used to run with one shotgun or SMG (for mutants) and one Assault Rifle or Sniper (for humans). If the ammo supply finishes - you just change the weapon. I would even throw hypothessis that from mid game + you do not need traders basically for anything. That's my opinion.

GAMMA is fundamentally game about hoarding, so you should have your 'little operational bases' and store tools / items there.

[near estuary]

What if I want to use a specific gun

[cedar bramble]

i havent checked, but isnt ammo crafting not lossless ie. you buy wrong ammo, dissasemble it craft new ammo and you end up with less ammo than you bought.

for example converting 5.56 to 5.45

in theory and abstraction wise for ingame systems, they should be interchangeable

if im wrong about it not being lossless then please correct me

[near estuary]

it's not lossless

[cedar bramble]

yeah, so i hope it will be in future for very similar calibers

like 7.62x39-->7.62x51 shouldnt be lossless, but 5.45->5.56 and vice versa i think it would be fair

[near estuary]

if it became lossless, then I wouldn't have a problem with the division of WP/NATO

[cedar bramble]

yeah i was just asking to be sure, i dont have gamma installed now to check

[near estuary]

x39 doesn't convert to rifle bullets needed for x51

[last mesa]

Well, survive till early mid (I assume early mid is when you get medium armor + advanced tools / drug making kit / ammo toolkit), stack tons of differnt type ammo in your hideout / hideouts (I used to like to do hideouts in Army Warehouse Bloodsucker Village or in Red Forest in tunnel next to the brigde), disasemble the ammo, craft the ammo you need -> rinse and repeat. After 10 - 20 hours of monolith farm in Limansk / Red Forest you will have so much AP that you will have issues of losing it all (with multiple weapons ofc).

[mental furnace]

gamba time

[last mesa]

Welcome to basics of economy - that's how it should work.

[cedar bramble]

yes but its a game, things are abstracted away obviously

in real life you dont repair barrels, you can rebore them to higher caliber if strengths allow and thats it

so dont be so hell bent on realism...

[near estuary]

But I don't want to "farm" anything for X hours
I just want to buy ammo and play the game normally

[last mesa]

Sorry to tell, but GAMMA's probably not for you then (being brutally honest). Try EFP.

[near estuary]

I have like 300 hours on GAMMA

[last mesa]

GAMMA is fundamentally game about crafting / hoarding, the changes to mechanics for instance were made with some ideas / reasons in mind.

[near estuary]

sure, I just don't think it's necessarily good in the case of obtaining ammo
it works fine for repairing, getting tools etc.

[last mesa]

I think it is good as it is. You should push players towards certain behaviour by design. If I were Grok, I'd be even more radical and prevent players from getting ammo from vendors - but that's only me (for your luck ofc 🙂 )

[radiant sage]

That would just be fucking awful

Apologies but like come on

[near estuary]

knife only until you get a gunsmithing kit

[last mesa]

I mean it's supposed to be hardcore survival experience after all - at least observing the Grok changes in the past. You should be crafting stuff / not relying on vendors.

[near estuary]

but then what's the point of getting money for quests

[last mesa]

Still I remember the times when there was dozens of crafting items for upgrades. And repair kits took stacks for upgrades*. That was just annoying times to be crafter back there.

Attachments / meds / primary reagents.

[near estuary]

meds can be crafted
and how often do you honestly buy attachments

[last mesa]

Yes, meds can be crafted, but supply of primary medical items (basic drugs) used to be low from opponents. So you still had to run to Sakharov to buy tons of them. Ammo can be crafted, too. Attachments drop from monolith / high level merc quite regulary, so no point in buying them.

[radiant sage]

It really isn't hardcore

[near estuary]

it's supposed to elongate the hobo phase primarily

[hollow wadi]

GAMMA is really softcore

[last mesa]

In comparison to modern 3A games - it is. The fact that package becomes easier and easier with next updates - it's other point.

[mental furnace]

[hollow wadi]

Why are you comparing to AAA games

Who does that

[radiant sage]

[hollow wadi]

Compare to other mods/modpacks

[mental furnace]

[radiant sage]

Ah yes let's compare two incomparable things

[hollow wadi]

Drewski compares GAMMA to fucking Tom Clancy's games and you slorp it up

[last mesa]

Okay in comparison to EFP / Radiophobia 3 I would still say it's hard.

[hollow wadi]

NLC7
OP2.2
Actual hardcore packs

Zero Investment

[near estuary]

absolute kino

[last mesa]

Anyway - to be known for sure if it is hardcore, you would need to get some newbie and give him to play that. We all present here have probably thousands of hours in total in GAMMA, so our points might be quite skewed.

That's my opinion after all.

[hollow wadi]

I understand that Drewski compared to Tom Clancy's games because his watchers don't know games outside of gun and ball

[tranquil apex]

is the outfit docs sheet updated?

[mental furnace]

free multitool

[last mesa]

Well, if you are game veteran and know mechanics everything is easy after all.

[hollow wadi]

!shit // Mostly

@tranquil apex Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[mental furnace]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1054718548800454697

[mental furnace]

im poor alright

[last mesa]

I do, becouse normal people search for experiences in the popular / market wares / services not in obscure modpacks. Remember how the shitstorm went live even here, when half of discord population compared S2 to GAMMA? I think unjustly - but still it happened.

[near estuary]

yeah but those two are at least a part of the same general category of "stalker"

[hollow wadi]

Yeah and they're dumb :)

[last mesa]

One have to be delusional if you really think that GSC will be able anytime to match GAMMA level of depth and complexity. I was defending GSC back there.

[radiant sage]

Why are you trying to talk about this like some regular joe schmoe would actually play this if they don't really have much experience with stalker as a franchise / fandom.
The vast majority of people playing this are already people who know stalker in some form

[last mesa]

Becouse it's popular. Lone discord have more than 500k users, GSC forced Grok and others to even place the mark on entry screen that it is part of STALKER franchise, made by GSC.

Similar thing happened to Sapkowski's book when Witcher 3 become blockbuster.

[radiant sage]

That's because it's a legal requirement according to their guidelines

[last mesa]

Why do you think they changed the guidelines in the first place?

[radiant sage]

Because they want to protect their own intellectual property

Simple as

[near estuary]

free advertisement for games that everyone already has

[last mesa]

I think that they are afraid of Anomaly / GAMMA / EFP and others. That's why. It is on the one hand perfect marketing vessel, on the other competition they cannot get rid off.

[cedar bramble]

i dont remember, do original stalker games have the intro/mention that they are based on strugatsky books?

[near estuary]

nope

[cedar bramble]

well double standards then xD

[green shale]

stalker's a very different media product to roadside picnic though

[near estuary]

tbf tho, content from the games -> mods is more concrete

[green shale]

yeah

it would be absurd to require authors list off all their inspirations for a work and it opens up the door to pointless bullshit copyright lawsuits

which happens often enough

[near estuary]

nah, they just realized it might be a good idea to at least somewhat support the community that kept the interest in the franchise alive for more than a decade

[last mesa]

So they are afraid. I bet they would crack down on Anomaly asap, but it would destroy their goodwill with community, that's why they do not do that.

[near estuary]

and then they re-released the trilogy with the censored editions

[last mesa]

That was cash grab. I'd sooner pirate it than buy.

[radiant sage]

Brother, what are you smoking

[green shale]

what is the point of constructing an elaborate conspiracy theory around GSC's relationship to Anomaly when "at minimum they're tolerant of it, from all evidence" already sufficiently explains everything

[cedar bramble]

GSC want to make sure anomaly and gamma stay as the entry point for the second installment and nothing more. Issue is, that its damn well made.

[near estuary]

huh

[radiant sage]

[last mesa]

Okay - anyway - finishing this GSC / is GAMMA hardcore debackle - are there any deadlines when new version is gonna be released? If I remember correctly, Grok used to throw new version at the end of each year.

[stable trout]

Hey guys, I wanna ask. Is there any mod for GAMMA or Anomaly which expands the zone, the playable map?

[last mesa]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/promzone-level There is such thing for anomaly. Currently, not compatible with GAMMA and knowing the Grok approach to new maps - probably never will be.

[thick sedge]

sin corpse in AW checkpoint I'm not even 1 day in

[stable trout]

Oh thanks. What is his approach and why not?

[last mesa]

Shouldn't sin / monolith / ISG be spawning in AW? I thought that factions were reserved north only.

[stable trout]

And even if his approach is not positive, shouldn't he give players the option to customise their game?

[radiant sage]

Well you can customise your game

You'll just have to customise a lot

[stable trout]

well yeah

[lavish lynx]

sips its good loot.

[radiant sage]

Because as they mentioned the maps are made for integration into anomaly, and gamma is quite the different beast

[stable trout]

True

So it is difficult to make a mod compatible with GAMMA huh?

[last mesa]

I cannot find this post in sugestions, but he said something like 'I prefer fleshing out old locations than adding new ones'. It was two years ago though, so something might have changed (still doubt). Adding new maps is very hard.

[unreal river]

That mod is compatible for gamma though

[stable trout]

is it?

[unreal river]

Si

[stable trout]

you mean this one?

[last mesa]

Yea

[stable trout]

woah woah

well Idk how to add mods to GAMMA 🤣

[radiant sage]

You still do need to change some stuff

[last mesa]

So okay, I was mistaken - I thought it is not compatible with gamma (my bad)

[unreal river]

You don’t have to change anything

[stable trout]

dw

[unreal river]

But the maps are pointless since they don’t add anything unique

[stable trout]

Oh really. Well how do I actually add those mods to GAMMA tho?

[unreal river]

Think one quest line

[last mesa]

Put it in the GAMMA mod folder, select mod in MCM and pray for the best xD

[unreal river]

You just add them via mo2 like any other mods

[stable trout]

so I download it, open with 7z and then just drag it to my MO2 in my GAMMA folder?

[last mesa]

You can select option in MCM to install* the mods directly, no need to extracting manually / copying / pasting.

[unreal river]

Yea, some mods use a fomod setup designed to install via the install mod option in mo2, but not all mods use the function, most are simple drag and drop

[hasty goblet]

There's no way that GSC does not love anomaly and it's modpacks.

It's huge advertising for free. Tons of people play anomaly and then buy the OG trilogy or stalker 2. I am one of them lol.

[stable trout]

what is MCM?

[open wasp]

Are loners the only ones with access to a NATO shop and NATO enemies?

[stable trout]

so what I said is right?

[unreal river]

Yea you can download the 7z and open it and drag and actual mod file into mods

[stable trout]

into MO2 in the GAMMA folder right?

[unreal river]

Yea gamma mods folder

[last mesa]

My logic is more buisness than idealistic. Still, anomaly raises the expectations of games to the absurd levels + is natural competition for paid GSC products in market - remember people have limited ammount of time and resources for entertainment. I at the same time agree with the fact that it is great marketing tool. It might be flawed, but here it is.

[stable trout]

oh okay

and I drag it there through 7z right?

[last mesa]

What about ecologists (assuming Monolith is NATO and WP at the same time)?

[open wasp]

GSC is too small to be completely in the rotten business mindset imo, at this size there are still decent companies that aren't hell bent on making profit

[paper rock]

Technically mono being both means literally everyone but mil does cause clear sky is friends

[unreal river]

You download the mod, mod comes in 7z format, open 7z folder, file inside is dropped in

[last mesa]

Still, they are corporation assuming how they handle Stalker 2.

[unreal river]

You will know if you did it right by mo2 declaring if mod is not handled correctly

[open wasp]

I don't really count monolith since you only really encounter them in the second half of the game, at least in a decent number

[stable trout]

thanks

I will try

[unreal river]

With a big red X indicating mod is not properly handled

[stable trout]

right

I will try

[last mesa]

I would add here, that you need to NOT do quests for duty to have access to freedom vendors, but that's detail*

[open wasp]

As long as you don't take assassination missions should be fine no?

[paper rock]

Yeah ashot is a friend

[hasty goblet]

They literally don't care as long as you don't kill freedomers

[last mesa]

Dunno here. I always either played 100% duty or 100% freedom, not some neutral variations.

[open wasp]

You can def have both at 3k rep

[solid pelican]

ops.

[radiant sage]

Last I used them I had to change quite a bit because of broken map transition, is that different with the newest version then?

[lavish lynx]

Nuh uh

[mental furnace]

each one died from oneshot to the head

[jagged musk]

eco is the same as monolith from what i saw from dead eco guys... they use all weapons, but theres no eco trader who sells you ammo the regular way, so i'd say eco is neither ws/nato in this regard... they sell meds for dayz tho

[mental furnace]

isg too

[mental furnace]

they are nato faction without ammo trader

[green shale]

ISG are hostile to everyone if you aren't playing as them so technically every faction has access to NATO enemy. they're just rare. Also Monolith use both WP and NATO weaponry

[last mesa]

Wait, what? Doesn't the ||col. Hermadez (or something) sell ammo in Jupiter Underground base? Yes, you have to play for few hours to get to him, but still he should have ammo to sell||

[green shale]

also isg can use merc traders if you're playing the unisg campaign so.

[lavish delta]

uhhhh

oh, wrong channel

[mental furnace]

im talking about ecologists not isg

[last mesa]

Ah yea, my bad. You're right

Why did this channel turn into something like Newbie Chat 2 recently? 🤡

Well, then maybe it's just me.

[north gale]

free reefer from agroprom underground and watch him massacre the entire place

with his shitty overcoat

[mental furnace]

No

[jagged musk]

so... if i get this one right.... i can add this in the middle of my run, and cuz i'm almost master rank merc, fckin expert/master military and isg squads will come for my ass?

[mental furnace]

yeah if u set it right

[jagged musk]

well, thank you, time to prepare lube for no particular ocasion

[north gale]

Now get the bandolero kit >:)

oh wait that's 22

nvm

22 stuff not in gamma yet afaik

[sick yoke]

If there was possibly a way to provide negative contribution to a discussion, it’d be that

[north gale]

For extra destruction of nothing in particular that may need lube, also reenable Teleporting ISG

[jagged musk]

WHAT?!

[north gale]

Yes. ISG could teleport in gamma once upon a time

people were big mad abt it and grok just turned it off by default

but it's still in the list so you can toggle it on if you want

They do it when hit by a shot, absorbing/negating its damage and then teleporting randomly in a short distance with 5~ second cooldown between teleports

[jagged musk]

no. i ain't gonna deal w nato forces who shouldn't even act as mercs, that teleport too... it stays off for good

[sick yoke]

To be fair it was also bugged and they could fall under the map

[north gale]

Teleporting Nosorogs running at you with 939s and KS-12s 😂

or as it was known back then the ISG Saiga

i think they can use RAPTRs too

with AP slugs of course

[jagged musk]

sweet... i take non bullshit isg, thanks

[sick yoke]

And I think when they teleported under they could still shoot you? Not sure

[jagged musk]

they are bullshit enough

[north gale]

they could yes cuz the underneath doesn't have actual collisions

and you can see thru it

if you go under with noclip

[sick yoke]

Yeah so just bugged to shit

[north gale]

mhm

They're plenty nasty anyway even without teleports due to being able to spawn with gauss rifle and basically all of them spawning as veteran+ IIRC

though if you're low rank with the hunting mod it should spawn low level dudes

Which... idek what they can spawn with at those ranks 🤔

[mental furnace]

later

[jagged musk]

i'll enable them hunts on a fairly advanced run... my rank is expert already, so them isg fcks gonna bring the big gunz

[north gale]

seems like pretty meh Nato low rank weapons looking at the google form thing

scarily enough they can rock P90s as early as rookie

And DVL10

And the AWSM

[jagged musk]

p90.... i still haven't found the picatiny rail version yet...

[north gale]

yeah they get a fair few scary gun options even at rookie

[near estuary]

true 67 sigmas use the shittyass 90s red dot

[north gale]

they can spawn with the RPK-16 and SA58 as well as the M249 (?!) the DTMDR and SCARs and shit at rookie and trainee and experienced and professional as well as the usual suspect ranks (IE Veteran and above)

pretty demented

[jagged musk]

well... i could just use the mp7 instead, but c'mon... P90 is fckin sexy... and where PS90??

[jagged musk]

you still talk about ISG right? i always knew they are the loot pinatas of the zone

[north gale]

yeah ISG

They also can just have the AK Alfa starting from rookie

[vital nova]

Bullet sponge loot piñatas

[mental furnace]

[north gale]

It makes ISG Lost signals absurdly good to do if you start as isg

[jagged musk]

pinatas that shoot back... hard

[north gale]

and probalby their best mission type

[sick yoke]

P90 against player is practically the same as any 9x19 gun lol

[jagged musk]

cuz isg always uses ap?

[near estuary]

I mean
PS90 is just a cucked P90

[jagged musk]

no, longer barel is good, no full auto is balance

i never use full auto anyway

[sick yoke]

That and the fact that the stats are practically identical other than slightly higher ap

[near estuary]

it's a PDW firing a pistol round

there's a point when barrel length just hinders ergonomics

[near estuary]

isn't it arguably worse?

as in, you take less damage

[sick yoke]

Not really a noticeable difference

It’s 1% lol

[near estuary]

[jagged musk]

for a first try this should be fine

[mental furnace]

Thoughts on these two weapons over my ak74-PMC?

[blissful ivy]

the VSSK is a joke

the BRN-180 is stupid good

and the pmc is just really fun to use

id keep pmc, but brn is good

[fallen stone]

Why is VSSK a joke? are subsonic rounds bad?

[rose musk]

doesnt it only hold like 10 rounds

[fallen stone]

idk havent really checked

[lethal steeple]

it's a bolt action that uses a bullet type that scales worse than .45 over range

[fallen stone]

so UMP-45 better at range than a bolt-action

why the hell are veteran spetnaz carrying these

[lethal steeple]

anything is better than a bolt action in this game tho

[fallen stone]

Lapua tho

[lethal steeple]

but the vssk is particularly bad because it uses a bullet that forces you to treat it as a shotgun

without anything of what makes shotguns versatile

[rose musk]

is horrible and overpriced

[fallen stone]

whats your favorite gun for Warsaw/Nato?

[lethal steeple]

5 hits of 9x19fmj can also kill the nosorog unit, for like 5% of the price of one (1) lapua shot

[mint copper]

but then you actually need to hit the enemies

[lethal steeple]

like look yeah if bolt actions had splash damage

then they could be good

[fallen stone]

what? in what world can you kill a nosorog with 9mm

[lethal steeple]

but as it stands they also need you to hit the enemies

[mint copper]

just use rpg like normal person

in russia rpg shoots you

[lethal steeple]

oh nononono

[vital nova]

AP headshots

[lethal steeple]

nah fmj

wow i wasn't that off

[lethal steeple]

it's 5 with ap tho you guessed that one right

at 30m out

[celest sparrow]

me when 2 shot difference with bullet that costs more

[vital nova]

ISG run made me realize I've been sleeping on 9x19

I just dropped it as soon as I got an AK-104 on my first playthrough

[sharp schooner]

got my hands on a monolith exosuit

it was at 65% so i was able to repair it

[lethal steeple]

the moment you learn how armor works you just stop using expensive ammo

[sharp schooner]

i did good gambling on that roll

[sharp schooner]

br3 wins

[lethal steeple]

or you continue to use it just out of style but like why go above the 20ap magic number

when it just works

9x18fmj and 9x19fmj are ubiquitous

and are shot faster than most rifles

which is ultimately what you care about

and are also lighter

rupture DAMAGE could also be just resisted by "physical res" but the stat could remain as a bleed resistance

either reduce bleed tick damage or reduce bleed proc chance

Super Mario Galaxy - Rolling Green Galaxy

[harsh kraken]

is noahs snork quest bugged

[sharp schooner]

yap :3

[small ermine]

Always has been

[harsh kraken]

i cant find a single answer anywhere on the discord for this as far back as 2023

why

[celest sparrow]

Yeah I can see that

[small ermine]

It also rewards nothing at all

[celest sparrow]

Rarely see anyone build for Explosive res anyway

[fallen stone]

Alright so I alredy read it. Does this mean I cannot hand in quests to important NPC's because they'll discover me?

[small ermine]

Its 100% a waste of time helping noah

[harsh kraken]

how do i get rid of the quest then lmao

[small ermine]

Kill him

[lethal steeple]

one could argue maybe make explosive damage be half fire and half physical

[harsh kraken]

excellent

is he not needed for a quest in the future

i just found him in zaton

[lethal steeple]

this made me look up that one throwback galaxy uptown funk mashup but it's no longer on youtube

there's another one but the timing is mega off and it sounds awful

[small ermine]

Nope
Irrelevant npc becuase the anomaly devs failed at copy pasting his shit from call of pripyat

[harsh kraken]

peak

[hard crown]

The m4 i found is the defence something something

It s a c tier

Is it good? Just got the advanced tools. I can repair it.

And i got clear sky almost lvl 2

Can i use it always as a main stalker weapon

[wild harbor]

anybody know how to make it so it can snow in the settings

[hard crown]

You need project inverno i think

Its a mod

[vital nova]

I’m not sure but people have done it

Once I have a fully repaired disguise I’ll see if I’m seething or not about tasks from enemy factions

[sharp schooner]

yeas it is good

FMJ have BR-3

so its damn good either way

will carry you through id say the whole game if u know what ur doing

and pack SOME ap

[hard crown]

Uhm okok

Nice

What do you use as secondary and side?

[lethal steeple]

dear player can you please explain to the class what does br3 mean

[hard crown]

I m on day 3. Duty traders lvl2 rest of the traders lvl 1. I m loner

[sharp schooner]

it gets through medium armor

and can CLINK some exos if you maitnain fire

from experience br3 can get ya through most of the game

and then some

[vital nova]

No exo can outsmart ap

[sharp schooner]

You can use an mp7 versek or p90 in your melee slot.

id use that as your "pistol"

or you can carry 3 guns and swap them out.

if you DO get a p90

p90s are everyhwere u should find it

kepe it and get a sniper secondary if u want

or a shotgun

both are good

shotgun is just more for mutants

[hard crown]

I dont have a p90 as of now. I got a chicago sweeper. The thompson with drum mag. And then i got that full auto pistol 9x18

Abd i got mosin

[sharp schooner]

thats not bad

id suggest getting the thompson as a secondary for the shotty as it just

slams mutants

[hard crown]

I also got a 9x19 smg. And a pump shotgun. What should i run?

[sharp schooner]

hydroshock 45 my beloved

[sharp schooner]

from what i see 9.18 is

shitter

than 9x19

[hard crown]

Yeah but it seems to be it is a lot less expensive

[sharp schooner]

True.

id say keep the pump for later or parts if you want

[hard crown]

So what do i do? M4 with thompson. And keep the mosin in backpack?

[sharp schooner]

Yeah.

use the mosin when u need to snipe

[hard crown]

Ok

[sharp schooner]

doinking heads is fun

If it doesnt take them down on 1 headshot, they'll be weak enough to get downed or are more easy to take out

because

they're squishy now

[hard crown]

What ammo do i keep in the autopistol? Ap or hp?

[sharp schooner]

i say keep both

u can use it as a finisher for mutants or such

again, 9.18 isnt that reliable agianst humans because of its lesser dmaage

but for light armor id say keep it

keep AP loaded on it

[hard crown]

Okok. But 9x18 is br3

[sharp schooner]

have HP and more AP in your pockets

[hard crown]

And it s very cheap

U sure its weak?

[sharp schooner]

Yeah, it does a little less damage than 9.19 AP

even tohughi ts sitll good

[hard crown]

Okok

[sharp schooner]

i just prefer 9x19 myself but its what you want

[hard crown]

Alright

[sharp schooner]

cheap doesnt mean bad

[hard crown]

Is there 45acp ap?

[sharp schooner]

No.

i dont know why

only HP and FMJ

unless u wanna mod in now ammo types

then no, it wont be there

again i dont know why tbh

[hard crown]

No i dont

[sharp schooner]

Fair enough

No there is no AP for 45ACP

[hard crown]

Okok

[vital nova]

Sadly

[hard crown]

Is there any particular way to increase rep faster?

[sharp schooner]

killing monoltihians and zombies mainly

thats what seems to get me more rep fast

also most likely higher ranked stalkers

[hard crown]

Zombies?

[sharp schooner]

but of course you'd find more of them north

[sharp schooner]

Yea

brainwashed guys with guns

not monolith

they shamble real slow

and shooty shooty

victims of psy storms or psy emmisions

[hard crown]

Yeah i know okok

[sharp schooner]

but yea,h zombies and monolitihans are REALLY GOOD for rep

[hard crown]

So if i kill them which faction gets the +rep?

[sharp schooner]

D'ya mean rank or rep?

you do jobs for whatever faction you want rep from

if you're an enmie with that faction

[hard crown]

I m loner but i care about duty rep to unlock lvl 3 trader

[sharp schooner]

Ah well

just keep doing jobs for them

go talk to duty soldiers to see if they have jobs

or the colonal however oyu spell it

and u sohuld be able to get it done

[hard crown]

Yeah then just basic questing

Alrigjt

[sharp schooner]

yep

thats about it

itd be fun if yo ucan dol ike random encounters that can raise or lower rep but nah

just questing

[hard crown]

What do u think about granades?

[sharp schooner]

W

[hard crown]

Weak or strong?

[sharp schooner]

all of thme are good really

[hard crown]

Okok

[sharp schooner]

f-1 thermite nade then rg6

thats my rank high to low

NOT saying rg6 is bad

its RGD-5 grenade i mean

my bad

but yea all the grenades arej ust, Really good.

[thick sedge]

it's a grenade

wonder how does it effect a Monolith with innate 65% damage reduction

[vital nova]

Grenades are useful

Just chuck them at a full campfire

[solid minnow]

Anybody ever get the bug when you go to put on NVG's and they dont turn on but then you cant aim or turn them off/on

[thick sedge]

most NPCs I've seen circling a campfire was 8 so this is next on my list

[fallen stone]

is this better than skat-9?

[random grail]

! busyhands ?

[dawn marten]

@solid minnow "Busyhands" is the name of a bug that softlocks your game by preventing you from performing basic game functions, common signs include:

• Broken health HUD (all red)
• Can't do any animated actions (use meds, eat food)
• Crashing on area transition
• Can't open inventory
  Highly recommend turn on 412- Busyhands Detection and Blame - RavenAscendant mod to detect if it is really busy hands, and if so then which script caused it. Also keep it on to prevent further long term busy hands that make you lost a lot of progress. Noted that it can't 100% detect all busy hands, so common sense is still the best way

If you have it, reload an older save. Eventually this may not work anymore, you'll be in permanent busy hands, then it's time to start a new game. Read more here: #╭📖faq message

[vital nova]

Hold the control key and mouse over for full stats

[fallen stone]

thanks g, the answer is no btw, though it has 60% rupture resistance, which i think could be the highest in the game for some reason

[lavish lynx]

Lmfao theres a Monolith that runs into it everytime in BS

Usually blows up with him on top of it.

[steep elm]

thicc boy armor to stave off hordes o' muties

[fringe sinew]

[mental furnace]

[latent turret]

easter egg

[fringe sinew]

15 pdas holy

[vital nova]

Truckloads of dead monolit

Does anyone know if the patch turn-in thing with Aslan gives certain loots depending on the faction patches

Ecologist patches just seem to give artifacts

[sharp schooner]

dame su monolith

[shell orchid]

What a kind gentleman

[sharp schooner]

ohohgoiihugihg

so what do yall think should i switch to 7.62

[sharp schooner]

anotha one

[thick sedge]

crafting ammo is resourcefully easy, so yes

[sharp schooner]

i mean yeah but is that the only reason?

[sick yoke]

@celest sparrow I have made a severe and continuous lapse in judgement

[sharp schooner]

i got an ak12

iunno if i wanna part with em

thats why i wnat a second opinion

[thick sedge]

imo the muzzle velo looks so ass it's like the FNX-45 (?)

[sick yoke]

If it’s over like 600m/s it’s completely fine

That’s like every gun except 9x39 and 12.7 anyway

[fringe sinew]

Cool base spots in army warehouses? im tryna live in O'block and get shot at every 3 seconds

[sick yoke]

9mm scout

What did he mean by this

[thick sedge]

the trailer near Barrier, pretty sure someone posted their cool setup
