[celest sparrow]

No

[junior notch]

how about 0 days since post-grenade screenshot

[latent turret]

can you pay off a faction that doesnt like you if you made them angry at you

or does that only apply to faction based enemies

[thick sedge]

only for a few days

ass, I know

[latent turret]

yeah but you can pay them off

[sharp schooner]

i just blew a childs head off

[celest sparrow]

No

[sharp schooner]

average day in the zone'

[celest sparrow]

Well yes

[latent turret]

blow that mf head smoove off

[celest sparrow]

But the "neutrality" only works at a distance, getting close to them will remove the neutrality

[vital nova]

Such is life in the zone

[latent turret]

redone ai is so evil man im walking around with my little glowstick and i check my inventory and this bandit sneaks up on me and ventilates me ffs

exactly what a bandit would do

[rancid bone]

anyone play Tunguska: The Visitation?

[celest sparrow]

I played through it

[warped oasis]

Hey I can talk here now

[warm surge]

X19 can officially kiss my butt.

Nearly 500 rounds of .556 down to 25.

[hollow wadi]

Didn't hit enough headshots

I got a few monos in BS that got one tapped by .357 despite the rest wearing helmets

[hasty imp]

soo whats like special about playing monolith

is it just a infinite until u die kind of thin

[lethal steeple]

nothing

[hollow wadi]

That's it, yeah

It's the most sandboxy sandbox experience
0 story, near 0 allies, go shoot dudes

[sick yoke]

@celest sparrow so i may or may not have found an infinite money farm

unfortunately the durability of my gear is not infinite

[ruby wren]

what do people even talk about in this chat, newbies chat seems way more fun

[hollow wadi]

Dead chat

[thick sedge]

do guided companions ever get hungry/thirsty or nah

I've only tested one hired Freedomer and I gave him a purified lurker dish since he helped me clear the Barrier zombies

[sick yoke]

No

Companions basically only have hp

[mighty viper]

They don’t need anything

[runic olive]

what is the storage total for this right now?

[hollow wadi]

123GB

[runic olive]

ive got about 120gb free

[hollow wadi]

+20GB archives

[runic olive]

dope

fuck

[hollow wadi]

And you need your SSD to have like 50 GB free so it functions well

[runic olive]

the 120 is with 50 or so free

[hollow wadi]

And your C: drive needs like 50GB to work with temp files

[rose musk]

just make it an even 200gb free

to be safe

[hollow wadi]

Final install is 123GB, but you should get 200GB free for the install duration

[runic olive]

yea prob a good idea

im thinkin i might get an external ssd for this then

ive got some rather important files i cannot touch

verdict on external storage?

[hollow wadi]

Don't put GAMMA on external :)

[runic olive]

if its just slow load times i good with that

or is it fundamentally unable to work externally

[hollow wadi]

No, you'll just have the Helper team kick your shins in

But also slow as fuck and prone to more bullshit

[runic olive]

alright

alright

are there any long term consequences for killing everyone in a base?

is there some option to make leaders/merchants respawn?

[lethal patrol]

none

named npcs die for good

[runic olive]

damn

[thick sedge]

and you rank up, so

[lethal steeple]

game takes like 2 minutes to load on an empty nvme and bro wants it on an external hdd

[hollow wadi]

!npc // Unless

[dawn marten]

@lethal patrol Read this: #╭📖faq message

[lethal patrol]

do you really expect the average gamma player to go through all that

[hollow wadi]

No :)

But there are ways

[lethal patrol]

[rose musk]

okay the 19 hours was worth it just for the poltergeist in a box

I had no idea that was a thing

pretty terrible weapons but that's not surprising

RAPTR

🤢

[mental furnace]

KS-23 can do RAPTR job just fine and not in D type

[fallen stone]

does anyone know what the rep threshold is for factions sending death squads at you? also how they work?

[mental furnace]

they dont

[fallen stone]

they definitely used to at least in past updates

[mental furnace]

nope

[fallen stone]

also I got freedom saying they have a hit put on me on chat and two expert freedomers spawned basically on my ass

[fallen stone]

yes they did? explain otherwise how I had 4 master-expert monolithians attack me in fucking yantar

[mental furnace]

never happend to me

did u install some other mods?

like with this mod https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1445012165546479676 i got bounty squads on my ass i got a shootout with mercs in sultan building

its peam

[thin orchid]

seems like 'very bad' to 'terrible' rep, or if you are veteran rank or above

[fallen stone]

aaah I just hit veteran rank

[fallen stone]

perhaps you always finish the game very quickly? or you have some base setting disabled or something

[thin orchid]

a lot of the time they can just die before reaching you

[mental furnace]

yeah probably that one

[mental furnace]

nah last time i played it was me against all factions so like bounty squads? good more loot for me

[fallen stone]

tbh if you get a 5-man elite monolith death squad against you I'm pretty sure they can wipe out some faction bases by accident. Do important NPC's respawn or something?

[thin orchid]

they do not

[fallen stone]

shiet. Can they at least only be aggroed by player or by enemy NPC's as well?

[fallen stone]

scary in invictus tho

[thin orchid]

i think they can be aggroed by other npcs but they'll prioritize player, idk it's been a while since i've gotten one

last squad i remember was probably when i was basing in the vine apartments

[mental furnace]

[fallen stone]

what happens if all allied faction leaders get killed in a game? have you genuinely just failed the main quest?

[mental furnace]

how is that going to happen?

[thin orchid]

yeah, you might be able to respawn them

but yeah how would that happen

[fallen stone]

idk rusty nails

like in fear and hunger

[fallen stone]

idk maybe monolithians death squad you in rostok and that retard coronel petrenko or whatevr comes out to the roadblock with a beret and a 9 mm to fight em

[thin orchid]

rostok is blacklisted i think lol

[fallen stone]

probably, would be funny tho

[radiant sage]

Just change faction

[thin orchid]

do motz instead

[valid crater]

Luring ISG into Yanov or Laundromat is always fun. If you don't die at the attempt.

what if you're playing as merc or allied with them

or can hit squads be from any faction

[mental furnace]

yeah i killed mercs even though i was from freedom and didnt got any reputation penalty

[mental furnace]

yeah

[analog palm]

neat

[mental furnace]

that mod got a lot of settings to tweak u can make bounty squads non stop harassing you if u want

and make so only isg spawns on north locations to hunt your ass

[loud ferry]

Guys, wanna ask, is Tarkov Maganize mode is stable already ?

i want to replay with that mode

How to enable magazines in GAMMA: #╭📖faq message
Do NOT enable 207- Mags Redux or Mags Buyable at Traders!

[mighty viper]

yes it got reworked somehow with atmospherics iirc

[valid crater]

Yantar got a 37% chance for them, while Cordon and such got 0%.

[scenic trench]

!tools

[dawn marten]

@fallen stone
To get a yellow stash, finish 7 tasks, then keep doing things that will get you stash coordinates (e.g. more tasks, opening PDAs, looting bodies). You get a 50% chance of receiving a yellow stash each time. This resets upon finding a yellow stash - then you need to do 7 more tasks, and look for more stash coordinates afterwards.

[mental furnace]

check keybind settings

its probably empty

depends if u want to spend a lot of money to buy them

[sonic walrus]

lets say money isnt an issue

[mental furnace]

they ok if u want them

[mental furnace]

their biggest downside is price otherwise they good to use if u got ak105

[mortal wadi]

reccomend me grass-folliage other the ccon?

[haughty stone]

You can thow far enough already

[latent turret]

tbh i always undershoot it

[rose musk]

i'm kinda okay with it sometimes the throws feels quite inconsistent

yeah same lol

[latent turret]

its hard to throw shit

[rose musk]

unless I sprint and jump as I throw it will just fall flat

[latent turret]

esp bc you dont get that many nades until super lategame so its hard to practice with

and by that time you have a gl anyways

and iirc they all go different distances? like each of the 3 types? correct me if im wrong

but it feels like the thermite (i think) goes nowhere

[haughty stone]

They sometimes bounce funny

[vital nova]

Interesting if it's legit

[haughty stone]

ngl, over many hours I got the feel of throwing nades in x-ray engine

[latent turret]

in labs and BS/indoor areas grenades are super useful, but like 80% of the time throwing a nade in the middle of nowhere i feel like i never kill anyone with them

[idle spade]

i basically only use them early game to get quick kills on high level stalkers and indoors

[vital nova]

I've had a lot of use out of nades early game

Being at war with 90% of the factions means you have to conserve ammo

[sonic iris]

[mortal wadi]

is this normal carry weigh for hardest difficutly?

[mental furnace]

ye

[latent turret]

gamma carryweight is a little bit inflated compared to smth like tarkov for balance
cuz youre always carrying around like 100+ unique items

"little bit" might be an understatement considering endgame youll be hauling around 200kg+ with an exo

[vital nova]

Love the gamma carry weight cap

[mental furnace]

Grok made it bigger for much easier early game

some people tho turn themselves in cargo truck and walking with 5k kg carrying weight

[vital nova]

Restrictive carry weight is annoying in a single player game

Well, overly-restrictive carry weight

Just makes shit tedious

[mortal wadi]

some people report that cant access discord from google search, might be a bad invite link, anyone to fix that?

[vast oxide]

anyone know the best place to recruit duty companions? also hold your ground for duty in garbage wont complete

[latent turret]

recruit via missions or recruit via dialogue?

[vast oxide]

dialogue

[latent turret]

bar in rostok

not 100% duty but theres lots of mid-low level stalkers chilling there

[vast oxide]

i never see anyone in there, ujust the stair guards

[vital nova]

Probably some bandits are hanging back

[mental furnace]

probably u didnt killed all the bandits

or some of them got downed

[vast oxide]

ive run around all over the forest, theres no one there

[mental furnace]

what forest

[latent turret]

sometimes npcs like to fuck you by hiding behind the load zone areas

[mental furnace]

they not spawn in forest

[vast oxide]

near flea market, the wooded area

[vital nova]

One could be downed like Droon said seething somewhere rolling around

[mental furnace]

check north east

behind the hill

[vast oxide]

just a lurker

[mental furnace]

then better watch all bandits bodies u killed

[vast oxide]

it was just one guy and then there was an emmission so they ran to the flea market and got slapped

[mental furnace]

ohhh

good job

[vast oxide]

did it break it?

[mental furnace]

u need to redo all quest

yeap

[vast oxide]

fuck

[mental furnace]

[vast oxide]

lmaooo

should i wait for emission to go and then go kill them all or try to kill them before emission?

[vital nova]

They usually run to flea market during emission so easy kills

I had that happen once, it was hectic

[vast oxide]

yeah but i think thats what broke it

[vital nova]

It was a psy-emission too so a bunch of people got zombified lol

[vital nova]

Maybe try after then

[mental furnace]

yeah emission broke that quest

better wait for it to end and then did it

[vital nova]

Tough crowd

[vital nova]

What, like assassination missions?

[vast oxide]

yeah

[vital nova]

They're not always dictated solely by faction relations

Mercs will give hit jobs on ecologists despite being neutral with them etc

[small ermine]

Nah he loner

ohhm ok, didnt know that. i thought people were only supposed to out out hits on other factions they dont like

[latent turret]

guys is strelok/rogue/stitch fem/butch/fem or butch/butch/fem

[vital nova]

Not always, idk what governs it exactly

[tidal basalt]

na but did is this by design?

no way stalker 2 has a gun with a mag like that right?

[latent turret]

you see ivan, when you shoot gun with magazine backwards, boolet come out with bigger end, bigger boolet means bigger damage

[tidal basalt]

or maybe its suicide tech

bullets shoot the other way

careful when relying on emissions to kill npcs for you, sometimes bugs out quests (like MS)

nah i didnt activate the mission till the blowout was done

i sat in train hanger

[pure canyon]

Boys. FMJ or HP for Helicopters

I've heard AP is pointless becaue they don't technically have armor and some have said HP does more damage, but I'm still unsure

Just took one down with wround 90 rounds of 5.56x45 FMJ

[steady rover]

rocket launcher or GL

[latent turret]

explodives

[random grail]

Helis are just flying mutants

So use hp

[pure canyon]

I wish but no one HAS ANY

NOT EVEN SHOPS (I got Black Market on) So I can't even drop my life savings for one

[latent turret]

stinger mod for gamma when?

[pure canyon]

Lukash need me to do his Skyall mission, never done it before

turns out the Heli spawns when you get close enough, NOT WHEN YOU FIRST ENTER!

So I got 2 to deal with

does enhanced shaders require reshade?

If you aim for the tail rotor connection even a few buckshots are enough. Just be patient for the right angle.

[vital nova]

Knife it

[pure canyon]

I've heard thats a hoax. But I got the KS-23 with plenty of ammo so. fuck it

I'll let you know

[hard crown]

As of now i got m4 defender silenced with lots of fmj. A mosin with scope and a chicago sweeper thompson drumag with lots of hydro

[pure canyon]

I GOT TO DO THAT ONCE. It was glitched into a building somehow and couldn't leave FELT GREAT! Oh and the explosion it creates when dying IS real and WILL kill you

[last mesa]

No
It's included in GAMMA and GAMMA does not have reshade

[hard crown]

As of armor i got a medium armor with okish ballistic res

[scenic trench]

for MM?
you want pure hp
and ball. res. is useless in there (the first mandatory visit)

[steady rover]

is it i feel like theres a lot more dulling in gamma than a lot of the shown images iv seen with it]

unless im just missing a change or two

[mental furnace]

[valid crater]

I downed the Skyfall heli with buckshot, because of I forgot the mission was active and that was all I had at that moment when trying to turn on a mission in the central building of Agroprom, which is a good vantage point to hide from it and shoot it when it presents it's tail.

[last mesa]

Hello

[mental furnace]

i beat motz questline in isolated and hated

projection fight was fkn brutal

[hard crown]

Okok the armor has decent ropture res too.

[vital nova]

That's awesome

[hard crown]

I dont use artefacts. Only pelts and plates and "semirealistic stuff"

So you think i m ready?

Or do i need something else in particular?

[last mesa]

No idea what you do there

though

[hard crown]

Also why the rostock mutant arena is down?

[scenic trench]

psyblock wont hurt

[last mesa]

Removed for performance reasons

[hard crown]

.... sad af

[last mesa]

Was boring in my opinion

[hard crown]

But unique in the zone

[scenic trench]

does the regular arena still exist?
never bothered with it, really

[last mesa]

Yes

[valid crater]

What you need is Psyblock, some decent psy res, maybe 2-3 grenades, lots of buck/slugs and HP ammo, bring some AP/FMJ for the Zombified in the tunnel, sometimes they spawn with high armor values and maybe an exo helmet, and then you're good to go.

[mental furnace]

10 waves banging monolith projections

[last mesa]

Oh

Cool

[mental furnace]

so like almost 100 monolith kills in sarcophagus

Ok tnx.

I have one of the eggheads types of armor. It is medium. Do those give psi res? (I m not on my pc rn)

How do u guys deal wtoh the burer. I remember that when i played this game a ywar ago. I died to it a few times.

[valid crater]

And FMJ/AP because of I had this Zombie there ... yes, with a helmet and he took quite the rounds to be taken down. 🤡 A nade would have been helpful there but I was out of them, and to add to the misery, his gun was an RPK.

[steady rover]

does rerunning the gamma installer delete saves?

[scenic trench]

which one?
there's at least 3 at last count?

[hard crown]

Holy f.

Hopefully i dont encounter that

[valid crater]

That was the first one. He was already past the explosive barrel, which added to even more misery.

The other two were "normal", without helmets.

[scenic trench]

there's always 3 zombified
but completely random what they have

[hard crown]

Is that before the pseudogiant in the tunnels?

[mental furnace]

first find cover so he cant wave strike you
dont attack when he got his HANDS UP

thats all

[valid crater]

Yes. Before the pseudo giant.

[scenic trench]

yes
the giant is a spawntrigger, when you reach a certain point in the tunnel
its after everything else

[hard crown]

Should i kill him or try to run?

[hard crown]

Okok seems easy. But in the moment i might just fuck it up cuz of pressure.

[valid crater]

If you kill the other 2 zombies before you trigger the giant you can run past, as always.

[scenic trench]

up to you?
you can just keep poking it to death
it shouldnt try to chase you very far

[mental furnace]

dont panic

[hard crown]

I only got 4 lifes left. I cant. I want to complete the game so next run i try for invictus.

[mental furnace]

[scenic trench]

if you dont want to deal with the giant or zombies, just kill the first few snorks, retreat to where you came into the tunnels and fast travel out

[valid crater]

Well, MM should be a nuisance really, what's hard is all the fun stuff that can insta-end you after BS. 🤡

[hard crown]

Isnt that cheating?

[scenic trench]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hard crown]

I wont do that then

[hard crown]

I never got to bs before

[mental furnace]

bring table and wood chair and put them near broken ladder

[hard crown]

I always lost getring there or right before

[valid crater]

Then I would strongly advise you just play the game without ironman, to learn about all that's past BS and about BS itself. 😁

[scenic trench]

@hard crown
droon means in the elevator shaft at the beginning, so you can get at the ladders

[hard crown]

Ibdotn like playing wothout ironman. I dont feel emotions

Cuz i know i just can reload save 1milion times

[mental furnace]

if u want to be maximum save pre bs 5 slot armor is must have and 70% balls res

also luck so monolith with rpg dont spawn

i got one in radar at sniper tower

[hard crown]

Wtf

Rpg

[mental furnace]

mf was shooting from it like from minigun

[hard crown]

..... lmfao

[sharp schooner]

best way i can discribe hip is

fallout 4 npc

[vital nova]

Hip is for _

[valid crater]

So far I managed it twice to sneak into BS on the way in. Was a LONG crawl, but worth it.

[mental furnace]

also when u gonna do bs dont loot corpses do it right after u turn it off

[valid crater]

Though you still need to take out the initial tower snipers and then wait for them to go back into idle.

[mental furnace]

also u can cheese it with phantom star

[last mesa]

Beacon strategy

[scenic trench]

nah
clever use of game mechanics
whats actually cheating is getting shot up the ass by some exo 0.5s after loading into rostok from garbage

[valid crater]

Yes, two Phantom Stars and BS is easy too.

[hard crown]

I save scum those

[scenic trench]

is that long enough to get from the entrance to the switch?

[valid crater]

With two, yes. One is not enough.

[mental furnace]

[hard crown]

Well rip for me cuz i dont use artefacts

[scenic trench]

usually just use them to access BS
clear the road up to sandbags, then sprint into with ps

[last mesa]

I never used it but sounds great

Or even see anyone use it

[mental furnace]

then be careful duh monolith isg and sin gonna send u to new game fast

[mental furnace]

i used it once

got stuck

[hard crown]

Rip

[scenic trench]

heh
ready thine anus if thou persists with such behavior

[hard crown]

I ll try my best

[valid crater]

Without artefacts is like playing naked with 9mm HP only in Sarcophagus, doable ... but why? 🤡

[sharp schooner]

i FUCKING HATE dogs

[mental furnace]

also there is quests which can give u artefacts

[scenic trench]

what the
how'd you do that

[hard crown]

I sell or trade all artefacts i find

[last mesa]

Oh

[mental furnace]

sakharov quests about agroprom underground, clear sky ecologist escort and random npc's patches quests

[sharp schooner]

blown off

yes its apinter of the zone

basically a gore mod

you can blow peopls heads clean off

making using snipers satisfying as FUCK

i cannot discrible the erection one stalker gets from blowing a monolithians head clean off

[valid crater]

You should use them. Some enemies use snipers and guns that take away 99% of your health and apply a heavy bleed if your resists are shit. 🤡

Which is basically an one-tap.

[hard crown]

I understand

I just hate the fact

[sharp schooner]

morhpnie and pseutogiant skin

u dont NEED artefacts

[hard crown]

That you just strap on a piece of rock that hasnt been studied

[valid crater]

Wait until you meet your first ISG squad.

[sharp schooner]

just morphine and pesutogiant skin 100%

[hard crown]

And now it deflects bullets

I dont like that

Lol

[mental furnace]

they been studied

[sharp schooner]

thats how we know the effects

[mental furnace]

in OLR u dont know what artefacts do

[hard crown]

Yeah but man. Make it having sense

How a piece of rock stops bullets

[mental furnace]

so u need to give them to ecologists

[hard crown]

Why doesnt it stops mine when i shoot them

[mental furnace]

because its magic rock

from anomalies

[hard crown]

Brother. It makes -100000 sense

[sharp schooner]

its the zone

[valid crater]

That's the magic of the zone, embrace it, do not reject.

[sharp schooner]

it doesnt make sense here

[mental furnace]

it makes sense

[sharp schooner]

there are walking zombies

[scenic trench]

lol?
"make it make sense"
mate, have you noticed what youre playing

[sharp schooner]

there are LITERAL GHOSTS

its the fucking zone

[mental furnace]

cause laws of physics is broken in zone

[sharp schooner]

thats the excuse you need

"its the zone"

[hard crown]

I guess you are right

Still i can explain my brain better the existance of mutanta and zombies

[pure canyon]

I HAVE FUCKING DONE IT

[valid crater]

Then a magic rock that deflects bullets or makea u kick stuff super trong

It s a bit goofy

[pure canyon]

SCREW LUKASH HE COULD HAVE MENTINED THAT THERE WERE 4 ROCKET WIELDING HELICOPTERS

[sharp schooner]

dead

[mental furnace]

next run gonna be monolith one ok

[sharp schooner]

psy storms that basically scramble your brain and make u only wanna kill and shamble

mutants are radiation mutated shits, even though it doesnt do that irl

[scenic trench]

huh?

[sharp schooner]

its the zone thats sitll the excuse

[valid crater]

4? 🤔 That sounds like a bug.

[sharp schooner]

theres only 1

[pure canyon]

600 5.56x45 rounds later I have knowledge of where to aim and THESE TO SHOW

[sharp schooner]

maybe its a skill issue

[mental furnace]

[sharp schooner]

[pure canyon]

So there was a helin agroprom, no biggie but I've never fought one legitely without issue, they never appear without me being prepared so I jsut haven't ahd the experience

[valid crater]

But the Skyfall Helis should not even drop these. 🤡 What the fuck happened in your game?

[sharp schooner]

🤡 <-- he did it

[pure canyon]

I take it out with body shots, then ANOTHER ONE SPAWNS, but not only that THEN SKYALL'S HELI SPAWNED and in the middle of the double heli fight

Lukash, Cold and Dushman should by them.

[sharp schooner]

great swamps..

[mental furnace]

swamps

[sharp schooner]

lukash is at AW

what is closest too you?

[pure canyon]

Not yet, I remember the only other one I ever had apparently went for 50K somewhere but I could only ever find one to buy it for 10

[sharp schooner]

depends who u well it too i think

[valid crater]

12k they give if I remember correctly, and from Agroprom Cold should be closest.

[pure canyon]

I'm in Agroprom still. Sent this right after it happened because I need a BREATH

[scenic trench]

cold, librarian and spore are ~~swamp monsters ~~clear sky

[sharp schooner]

then hop to AW or great swamps

cold is a good guy he'll hook u up

[pure canyon]

Ahhhh, yes the swamps. So thats a hard no for me FUCK the swamps

I jsut hate walking around it, no issue with the fauna

[valid crater]

But Dead City is also not far from Agroprom, it's just Yantar - DC.

[vital nova]

Dead City

[valid crater]

Should be safest to get to dead city, just hug the fences.

[pure canyon]

I'm good rank with Mercs (As in TRYING tog et good but jsut got out of the negatives), Duty loves me, Free Stalkers are 1159 so meh, and everyone else is neutral or hatred

[vital nova]

What faction?

[valid crater]

Well, you're using an Merc Exo ... so, should be fine.

[pure canyon]

FUCK, i hit my toe on the AURA of a chem anomaly

[valid crater]

Always have heavy sewing kits with you. 🤡

[pure canyon]

I usually carry Ducttape with a 70% repair. But uhhh, kinda used that before I got to the heavies and forgot to grab my normal double dose before leaving base

I said the magic "Not like I'm gonna be fighting THAT much." before leaving

[valid crater]

So you actually asked for it.

[pure canyon]

WELL I TRIED NOT TO

But yes, I kinda did

[sharp schooner]

woooo heee

[mental furnace]

without artefacts exo is shittier then seva

[dense agate]

I mean it’s not that big of a deal, just repair one item with your exo kit

[mental furnace]

[vital nova]

Head imploded

[sharp schooner]

i got mauled by a chimera

while shooting a dogs head off

[sharp schooner]

then i used the slow mo to kill him too

[sharp schooner]

(i wasnt 1shot)

i think this speaks for everyones intelligence in the zone

[scenic trench]

that's normal
its just random when they put those out

[vital nova]

[mental furnace]

[gaunt shuttle]

hay anybody have sudden frame drop while at jupiter?

[latent turret]

kill the ecologist hanging around yanov hes stealing all your fps
im serious

the one south of yanov specifically, hes been known to do that

you wont be able to do artefact hunters tho, but who cares tbh

mid quest line

[lethal steeple]

this takes me back to the simpler times when some people actually thought the sun vanished was a real thing

[gaunt shuttle]

that.. is odd

[latent turret]

trust the process

groks working on it

maybe?

[vital nova]

He knows it's an issue

[valid crater]

You are aware that we actually don't need the sun at all? I mean ... at night it doesn't shine and during the day it's bright anyways. :þ

Would, but a fatal error due to the update to fix my Scopes

uhh, run's gone

[formal mountain]

real stalkers 1v1 furniture

[pure canyon]

300 hourso ver the course of a year - year and a half. Gone, can't touch my main base

[sonic verge]

I got slammed with a barrel from a poltergeist one time, funniest death ever.

[pure canyon]

Gonna keep teh save incase I can fix it buutt, mostly it's to cope. Such is life in the Zone

[sonic verge]

wait was that an ironman run??

[pure canyon]

Nope, normal run

Been meaning to start over with everything on the hardest instead of medium. But uhhh, I was enjoying how casual it got after I made my base and built up such a stockpile. Then I updated the gaem and have gotten an error for the PL15 model, a gun I have never modded or really touched other than starting out

and that has made Entering Rostok an instant crash

Guess I got my reason now

OK BOYS! Pick a faction

[mental furnace]

renegades

[pure canyon]

I was just Free Stalkers, I've done a SIN run before.

[pure canyon]

I like you

[sonic verge]

Play as Duty or youre a coward

[mental furnace]

[pure canyon]

I always do duty

[formal mountain]

freedom

[vital nova]

@pure canyon Bandits

[sonic verge]

Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits... None will stop Duty on its triumphant march towards saving the planet!

The World fears The Zones expansion. Join Duty and save the innocent.

Stalker, protect the world from The Zone. Join Duty.

[pure canyon]

Even when I play as Merc and Free Stalkers I do as much for Duty as I can until I can live in the cubby behind Petrenko

[pure canyon]

Imma lump this with renegades

[mental furnace]

[pure canyon]

They're just bandits who the Freedomers hate

[mental furnace]

more kills more loot to have

[pure canyon]

Exaaactlyyyy

[mental furnace]

bandits play handful too

[sonic verge]

I want to start a Freedom playthrough where I play stoned the entire time

i would just never leave army warehouses

[pure canyon]

i've thought about this. Coke, Weed, Fent, and Energy Drinks

[sonic verge]

okay okay okay i dont know about that i cant condone that

[mortal wadi]

how to remove hud completly?

[pure canyon]

blood is made of Syrup and heart is struggling harder than a Chinese Sweatshop worker. but you are the FASTEST man alive

[pure canyon]

Can't condone what? Drug use? That is the ONLY way to play freedom

[sonic verge]

all thats a bit too extreme for me lol

Except energy drinks, caffeine + weed feels amazing

[pure canyon]

Can't go straight edge when you're the under dog, Imma go snort my coke and wipe out agroprom with nothing but a sledgehammer and a bayonet

[sonic verge]

lmfao

you know what you are right, i am gonna go buy coke now

[pure canyon]

Have fun with your Weed fuelled Hammock nap and afternoon coffee with Margaret

[sharp schooner]

anddd my shit didnt get spawned in zaton

force complete here i come

[sonic verge]

i actually saw someone fent posing so lemme ask them for that too

[pure canyon]

SEEE now thats a hero in the making

[pure canyon]

No need to ask they're too busy having FUN, pockets are open to the world

[latent turret]

i think the psy bar hider is like numpad 0? or numpad enter?

[mortal wadi]

is there a possibitlity to remove all with only one key?

[marsh bridge]

man what

[sonic verge]

do you guys actually roleplay when youre playing anomaly?

[latent turret]

nnno dont think so, you can toggle all your hud elements off one by one though

[pure canyon]

Num Enter, and for health hud hit "H" until it's gone

[vital nova]

Define roleplay

[pure canyon]

And if you're struggling after hitting "Num 0", just hit "ESC"

"Num 0" is photo mode

[latent turret]

i usually start all my runs as loner or bandit bc most people entering the zone arent already from like, freedom or duty, but military and mercs are free game

[sonic verge]

like you have a backstory for your character, you have arcs, you have specific goals etc. For example, when I play as a loner, I dream of the wish granter and pretend Im actually going for a wish I personally want.

[latent turret]

mercs already coming to the zone as mercs make sense, same with military

[vital nova]

I haven't tried that yet, the goal of my first gamma run was just getting an exoskeleton

[sonic verge]

and you let that influence your decisions. Ex. loner rookie will make dumb decisions, so i intentionally make dumb rookie mistakes to put me in crazy situations (lets go to the dark forest at night, what could go wrong?)

[latent turret]

i lightly roleplay my belt loadout by using more or less artifacts depending on my faction

sometimes no artifacts at all

[sonic verge]

im startin a duty playthrough and i just cant get into the RP, i cant imagine myself actually joining duty or freedom

[sonic verge]

Spark is doomsday cult tier

[last mesa]

greenx has a discord here wtf

he needs to come back i aint ever enjoy a yt vid like that

Spark as potrayed in the game is schizoposting faction

not that those 2 are bad but you have to skip over the story bits on their vids if you care about it

Felt kinda of bad with what I had to do with to Richter siding with Ward

He was annoying imo but not a bad guy

[sonic verge]

I wonder what could have been if Scar was Scar but not like Scar and like Scar

[sonic verge]

i am 1/3 done with my first ward playthrough

its interesting so far seeing the opposite side

[celest sparrow]

Korshunov best character

[vital nova]

People insta-hate on Ward but it's a pretty reasonable path

[vital nova]

This

Korshunov my beloved

[sonic verge]

reasonable sure, but its not ethical imo

[celest sparrow]

They hate Ward because they ain't Duty even though Duty is fucking washed

[vital nova]

Nobody is really ethical in the setting

[sonic verge]

Korshunov is a respectable man tho, he fought in afghanistan apparently, bad ass

[small ermine]

His hate is so palpable

[sonic verge]

ecologists? with some exceptions. loners are drastically more ethical

[vital nova]

The loners are plagued with betrayal, Duty is a husk of itself, Freedom is a glorified bandit faction, bandits are still psychotic assholes

Ecologists jeopardize people's lives for their science

wasnt their calender ending

I watched this long breakdown of how they made calenders in a bunch of south american civs, its crazy fascinating

the mayans were around from like 2000bc to the 16th century they did not give a fuck abt the 2000s

no i disagree, chatgpt said that they actually specifically chose to end the world in 2012

dude i remember watching a youtube video when i was like 5-6 years old where they said the world was ending because of the mayan calender shit and i couldn't sleep for like a week straight

[latent turret]

but did you ask the lord?

[sonic verge]

this is me when i learned about nukes

[sonic verge]

im excited for her new album

[cedar bramble]

Tried HACR modpack for stalker, second save and crash, well gamma is uber stable compared to it...

[sonic verge]

could not get into HACR

[cedar bramble]

every other modpack i tried has no polish of gamma

[sonic verge]

im super into ANomaly OWA

[sonic verge]

modpacks are rarely.. not sure if this is the right word, cohesive.

there are things that just dont fit together in some modpacks

[cedar bramble]

they might have some shiny things or novel features, but i guess they arent in gamma for other reasons than gameplay, some might actually make the game unstable, or hard to patch...

[latent turret]

after playing gamma i cant even play other ultramodded games everything is so ass in comparison

like ultramodded FNV just looks so ass

[celest sparrow]

FNV is ass tho

[latent turret]

twice the amount of mods as gamma and it looks half as good

[sonic verge]

i started remastering FNV myself and im pushing it the the max and the game is now dated

[latent turret]

true

[celest sparrow]

Yeah that's most modpacks

[sonic verge]

FO3 truther?

[cedar bramble]

modded F4 looks ok. FNV looks ass

[latent turret]

the sum is the best fallout game

[vital nova]

Most ultramodded stuff is ass because it ends up being totally incoherent from a balance / art standpoint

[sonic verge]

modded FO4 that isnt using insane reshaders looks amazing

[cedar bramble]

soljanka/soup mods for stalker

[latent turret]

except tamriel rebuilt that one looks cool

[sonic verge]

this is the biggest problem with bethesda game mods

[vital nova]

Are those the people doing skyblivion?

[latent turret]

iii dont know

[vital nova]

Ultra high-res anime elf models next to some goofy-ass vanilla khajit

[marsh bridge]

i just load up my dust load order that has all the weapons of the new millenia mods and find a good gun shoot some shit and get bored

[latent turret]

oh and enderal

[sonic verge]

this is why im adamant i remaster the game myself, so i mantain cohesive style

[latent turret]

enderal is kind of cool

[vital nova]

Enderal is basically a total conversion mod isn't it?

That makes sense

[latent turret]

ye

[sonic verge]

yes

[latent turret]

im an emba 5 truther

[vital nova]

Lmao

[sonic verge]

isnt that the MOrrowind kazakhstan mod????

[latent turret]

emba 5 is actually insane from an anthropology standpoint

genuine piece of history

[frank oxide]

#╟❓general-offtopic

[sonic verge]

[sonic verge]

[frank oxide]

[sonic verge]

Get a real job pal, like collecting carts, real blue collar work

[latent turret]

grok makes a dollar i make a dime, thats why i talk abt HoC on stalker chat time

[sonic verge]

Clear Sky is the dumbest faction in the game besides renegades

[latent turret]

ecologist?

or are we talking abt lore

[sonic verge]

No, ecologists have purpose thats useful

and coherent world views

[latent turret]

oh ok lore wise yeah

[sonic verge]

theyre just students, paying off student loans doing unpaid internships in a war zone

i respect them and defend them at all costs cuz i also got them loans lol

[latent turret]

being an ecologist irl would be dope as someone in college for bio rn

[vital nova]

Noooo don't say that

[latent turret]

as long as i dont have to go outside the bunker...

[celest sparrow]

Ecologists being in their lil cuck bunker watching how Stalkers are having fun getting killed in the zone

[marsh bridge]

hippies that dont have steady access to drugs

[vital nova]

You hire some stalker to do it for the price of a cured sausage

[idle kelp]

You are going into a deadly anarchist hellscape full of banditry while carrying around expensive tech

I don't think being an ecologist is a great time

[sonic verge]

are you actually a clear sky fan??? A.. i cant think of a derogotory term or stereotype for you guys
