counterpoint: cowboy gun
cloud watchers? clear sky is a bunch of cloud watchers
Renegades outlasted Clear Sky's existence so
I think it's a cool faction in the game itself
Like only in CLear sky>
Duh
Are renegades in lore even much of a faction at all
how long did clear sky exist for again?
Them being in anomaly is just fanservice
in lore theyre rejects of bandit groups that are insane people, even more insane
see this is why you just turn on dynamic faction relations and let the newbies bitch about the changes in suggestions

Clear Sky didnt have a goal past understand the zone and they couldnt even make sense of the zone
Less of a faction and more of an "I'm a bastard and I will kill you" patch
and other reasons that are spoilesr theyre stupid
I don't get why people think [ Redacted ] 2 ruined CSky when it was obvious since COP something was fishy with them
arent clear sky just ||former monolith members? i feel like they would of already known about the zone when they were a mindless fuck that headbangs all day||
Embodiment of that "I don't care I'm going to kill you and take your shit" meme
No, they're ||a c-con sleeper group essentially ||
the people who are upset by certain narrative directions imo (not all, maybe not most, but a fair chunk) are just upset because change is hard and because theres decade+ of headcanon stuff
wasnt there a redacted in a lab that showed redacted?
People are just assmad even though the writing in [Redacted] 2 is the best in the series
||emphasize sleeper in sleeper group ||
IDK if I would call it the best, it can be pretty incoherent too (at least until Anomalous Dugout makes a video on it lol)
not at all
||The leadership of Clear Sky was in league with c-consciousness while the faction as a whole didn't know any better and just took orders||
this is turning into an SCP article now
they were just a platoon of awkwardly optimistic and science interested dudes working under a literal evil scientist
I thought he was also unaware of what was going on
two (2) evil scientists, really, not one
No, it's revealed in [redacted] 2
garfield cart 2
So why did redacted even make redacted a thing?
it's actually revealed in cop
It was a picture of Lebedev in X-8 during CoP
Yeah
it's the only part in cop that's actually relevant to the overarching story of the franchise and it's like a throwaway easter egg
|| I know lebedev had disagreements with the group, and left, but how do we know he didnt leave, get his brain tickled into changing his mind and doing stuff that would help the group? ||
in the most story rich of the original trilogy
you think cop is more storyrich? I think S2
of the original trilogy
is stalker 2 part of the original trilogy
No, the trilogy is Shadow of Chornobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat. They are considered one thing kinda
S2 is technically the fourth
uh huh
Stalker world building reminds me of Metal Gear or Hitman
my headcanon has always been that bro just wanted to ascend
he knew what was going on
but ascending was the plan all along
kalancha got the short end of the stick clearly
||It's revealed in Stalker 2 that he's taking orders from C-consciousness and that Scar was a c-con agent before the events of CS even||
the most interesting faction imo is Noontide now.
come to think of it i don't remember kalancha being at the cnpp question mark
was he there?
Pretty sure he stayed behind
orders as in branwashing or straight up hey you, do this
||No, straight up correspondences ||
he's there in anomaly but anomaly also brings back charon
he was in their DMS???
They were in his DMs
I don't think they ever explained what happened to Kalancha
||He's part of MDST which continued the X-program after it was officially shut down ||
he is left 
I still dont understand why Clear Sky exissts and || why it benefits The Group ||
although one COULD make the case about "charon" being a title and not a nickname
He booked it from the Swamps after turning on the Psy-emitters
|| Arent MDST = The Group? ||
which COULD justify charon being alive in anomaly
Charon is Scar
oflin whats it like being a mod?
i do subscribe to that
||Cold island dlc gonna be about CS remnants ||
charon will always be scar to me
mid
unpaid janitor*
I hope they remain gone but i would like closure. i want Noontide back
i think if i had to moderate this server id lose my mind
why did you do it?
because i hate myself
We'll love you on your behalf
lets talk about why COP is the best, SOC is the worst, and CS is just okay
Sid, i killed him in trilogy
marked one what the hell
i'd say dushman but bro didnt make it in SoC at all 🥀
gutwrenching: marked stalker BOMBS innocent hardworking businessman, more at 11
while he was enjoying dinner
||I think the Group is the people behind the original x-project but c-con essentially split off from them and went rogue. Iirc the Group is like a shadow cabal ||
Stalker lore is too much man wtf
it's like that ye
|| I think C-Con is The Group ||
||The Group founded c-con but c-con went rogue when the zone was created, Ward is the military force behind the group trying to retake control of the zone in s2||
so then who the fuck is || MDST?!||
||slavic illuminati|| 
holy cia
you know what, fuck it, this is why im joining duty, im just going to shoot any scientist looking dude I see, anyone with an X in their name gets shot
destroy the entire stinking zone, no more secret groups now
||They’re the scientists behind the x-projects that continued their work after the x-projects were officially shut down, so they’re c-con for all intents and purposes ||
He finally understands

ccon didn't go rogue and created the zone, the zone was created when the group decided they were going to ascend and take control over the noosphere
it was collateral damage
||Unless I’m mixing up the names I’m pretty sure that’s not the case since Ward is trying to take back control of the generators due to the Zone being problematic in the Group’s greater goals ||
true stalker 2 true i forgot my bad
this is looking like THE files
Stalker lore is a tangled, nonsensical mess
|| The X-labs people had a guy, Dalin Sr. who is Dalin's father, the head of SIRCA. SIRCA is more so trying to continue their work and their experiments.||
idfk whoever writes stalker lore, i want to talk to them for 400 hours
i want the things he is smoking, and i mean that both as a compliment and an insult
||Right, the same Group that was behind the x-projects is behind SIRCAA, Dalin Jr. goes off the rails to follow in his father’s legacy which ostensibly gets him killed by Ward / The Group in the Ward path ||
true and real
i love how the theory hangs ENTIRELY on both dudes using the same gun
shevi where tf do you find all these screenshots
i havent seen like half of these betas or alphas or whatever they are
He plays more than Gamma
that's not a beta nor an alpha
ok what am i looking at
lost world?
obscure russo/ukr soc mod?
WHOA WHOA WHOA SPOILERS
i didnt beat that route. but idc, i already got multiple spoilers and i want to know the lore

I went into this assuming you knew the S2 story, my bad
Explains a lot
Here's the name of some stalker writters:
Sergey Ivanov (DEAD)
Alexey Sityanov/Koan
Ruslan Didenko
Andrei Verpakhovskyi
Legend Returns 0.9.2
oh yeah played those
its peak
did it got updated? 
!true
still not, it's on the obscure development hell of ambitious stalkermods freeplays.
aww fuck🥀
so why did Skif refuse the toast that Scar offered him? i havent seen a single analysis video on that yet
i wish we could choose, i would have said yes
how did they die?
okay, glad it wasnt what i was thinking. them eyebrows are wild, this man looks cool
whoever reccomend this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSzmh4UIrPE&t=5s
A declaration of love for the human race disguised as a crude review of one of the best FPSs ever made.
I love you.
Goodnight.
Facts:
The total size of this video and all of its assets, clips, and recordings totaled up to over 400 GBs.
My hard drive is loose.
I listened to a lot of music while conceptualizing this video.
I actually hate this...
this video is making me die of laughter. especially the mtv segment
What’s y’all fav GAMMA story quest
(Living legend, Mortal Sin, Operation Afterglow)
Make this game a fakes survival
this suddenly reminded me of the guy who was bitching about the food and water system and then calling gamma a fake survival game


it was so long ago like almost 3 years ago atp
he was bitching that the food and water exists purely as a annoyance more than any actual meaningful mechanic
then he said some shit about the bullet system (gboobs) calling it nonsensical and bullshit
and he said some other shit then called gamma a fake survival game
was he wrong tho
idk im still waiting for gamma to download 2 days after i pressed install
almost there
im 69% sure that everyone using artys ballistics knwos that incin rounds go fucking HARD against mutants, especally pesutogiants
food and water do feel like they're there just as a "ooh you used ibuprofen don't forget to consume the tushonka can and the water canteen! don't want to get reduced stamina!"
like literally just nullifys the fear between em
and outside of that you literally never ever pay attention to the meters because you're always on epipens
use a bandage and suddenly i need to inhale 2 cans of water
or masculine meals
bro is fucked up
the complaint about gbo also rings true with like pretty much everyone that has stopped to think about it
not even from a realismo standpoint
it's just bad
let me annihilate boars with my mosin damnit!
not even the rock paper scissors you play with mutants but the gear score mechanic
granted nowadays it's not as bad because armor pools were condensed into groups
Wtf did you do
5 ball artifacts
so if you know how to aim properly you can go through the game using only pistol fmjs
Devistated
devistation
devilled ham
the game needed to not fake survival to the point bleeds were made into dogshit rock bottom game design
there is a 1/3 chance to just die if you take a 40% health hit from rupture or bullet damage because bleeds tick unfunnily fast
i just download that mod that makes bandages add 1 yellow health to all limbs upon use and go about my day
you can't even bandage bleeds
like even if you manage to survive the animation
the bandage needs 20 (twenty) seconds to do its thing fully
sounds like you need some vinca to your diet of morphine and cocaine
or is that normally how they look
limbs are independent of general health
judge, was it worth it?
vinca also to this day locks you out of using bleed cures for 8 minutes
oh shit fr?
What’s arty’s ballistics?
literally
yeah but general health is still independent of limbs
you can still die while having all bhs health bars full
the paperdoll in the middle still matters
i also just disable BHS sometimes when i eventually get sick of it
clear sky guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wtf, where is Invictus chat?
that got repurposed into the staff rp channel

I've never seen this one before
Muh Metro 2033 ahh armor
36c high is crazy work
i would sit inside the freezer
i bought a portable air conditioner off of facebook last week best 80$ ive spent so far
thank you "Abul Fatah Al Faruk" for selling a brand new condition air conditioner for 80$ you've brought me salvation
only issue i have with it is the fan of it blows the air up to the roof instead of infront of it which is annoying and i need to figure out how to move the air to blow forwards instead of up
I had no idea the SG 550 had a different base model, one has a side mounted dot sight (gg) and the other is barebones
how do companions do with the ks 23
good as any shotguns on them

thats weird
that body has no name
are u sure?
i see no name
oh i get it now 
I randomly died after making my way out of the brain scorcher, no warning or anything?
Also crashed my game?
get owned
Weird anomaly but ok
its 4 am for me my brain sleeping
It made a temp save and i die a few seconds afterwards
scripted event tbh 
o hi Toiko, where is Mark?
uh oh
Driving with nvgs on = Slavic headlights
outskirts btw
Spicy
Rip
What’s in the box
🤤
No idea
Tell ya what, a drum mag for the vector is mmmmm. If only there was a model for it.
The gun with the mag that is.
where did you get this box
its a trader
is it the lootbox mod or they drop it in base gamma
black market
oh
yes you already said that
yeah im saying it twuice just incase you cant read very well
iunno you were typing fast
so ithought i have to reiterate
Blackmarket
i think the weed is getting to his head
Yantar is beautiful...
i aint readin allthat
huh.. i dont quite remember monolith being friends with anyone here
wait does the randomize button completely randomize faction relations too??
no it doesnt, most likely just a visual bug
@celest sparrow it's that time of the day again (liquid rock)
Is there an option somewhere in the settings to make it where my character doesn't automatically bring the PDA closer to his face when I pull it out?
but it doesn't do that on its own tho
It does in my game lol
maybe it also takes held buttons into account question mark
there's a slight delay, but after a couple seconds or so it happens
wait
I did change my keybind to M for the map section of the PDA
lemme mess around with the keybinds
Okay yeah, for whatever reason it's just the M key that does that weird auto close-up of the PDA.
Strange
because it doesn't happen with Caps Lock
so in soulslike i died, marker on pda, on the way there i died again. i kept the new shit i had but when i got to my old backpack i couldnt loot it. Is that a bug? or apart of it. if not a bug how did i keep my new shit? or is it by chance cause i did die twice
jk, it seems the map keybind is just screwy overall.
just realizing our stalkers would be incredibly diabetic ontop of being coke addicts
drinking a can of rockstar and i look at the dietary shit and 1 serving (1 can) has 84 grams of sugar in it
Zone sugar
Zone skooma
turns out the zone does not actually do anything to kill stalkers they just all snort coke and get diabetes
anyone using c-con grass and notice how the trees seem to change when you ADS far away
like their LODs are triggered when you zoom or somehthing
is anyone else having an issue that the dialog line to add a squad to your companions doesn't show up?

!companion
@worthy light
To recruit random stalkers as companions:
- Talk to the leader of the squad.
- The size of the squad must be within your limit (by default you can't have more than one companion at the time).
- Your rank value must be at least 1.5 times higher than that of the squad leader.
- Squad leader must consider you friendly (depends on your rank, reputation, faction relations and more).
Requirements 3 and 4 don't apply to paid companions, but they are rarer overall and can only be found among Loners, Bandits, Mercenaries and Freedom.
If you wish to be able to recruit more stalkers, in-game, open Mod Configuration Menu > Custom Companion Squad Size, and drag the sliders found within to the right.
Ah yes, another HD models mod

hey guys.
Progressed far enough to do Brain Scorcher on that looking for strelok mission.
I remember Scorcher Raid being very bad. How to do?
I only have aaccess to advanced tools, no sexpert yet.
You won't have expert until you clear BS anyway
!tools
@hollow wadi
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.
⠀
Fuck
Radar doesn't drop expert anymore
thanks. I was looking for that
Fuck
Ok then I have to raid Radar with Medi8um equipment
Honestly, build up your best armour and get some good artis for ballistics
Prob Take Shotgun and AR and Deagle as emergency
No. From experience I need very good Psychic. Ball resist is obvious too though
Thanks
I mean, could be nice to pop a psy block if you take the forest route
sometimes get gangbanged by phantoms
Brain Scorcher kills ya in the Red Forest, at least it was planned to be an instant kill on a timer instead of psy-health damage
no I mean
go left
and not walk up the road
forest route kinda sucks tbh
the road is virtually empty in GAMMA
Oh that, the black forest
true but you can rile up the mutants and get them to fight the monolith
and that's always funny
sic a psuedogiant on em
The road sometimes has tough mutants
I had 2 pseudogiants last time I went
speaking of, the mutants almost always just rush through the fence and kill half of the monolith by themselves no matter what I do
I actually ran into 4 controllers my last go through
odd spawns

they got owned by 3 chimaeras tho

That's all I need, thanks!
gamma poop
what
@celest sparrow lighting bug during cutscene gave everyone white hair and made strider look like an ancient man lol
The road to the BS is so easy. I just use silenced R700 to kill them from beyond their vision zone.
it turns red for me
dalin was a redhead during sircaa
love me some gamba hacking 
Is it me or does the game seem to lack environmental sounds (birds, wind etc) ?
I've tried to add some but it completely overrides the ambiant sounds of Gamma 
curse you!
i was about to post dead chat gif
idk tho i play without sounds most of the time
Aslan wondering why i have 140 mercenary patches
and can't speak english like the rest of the mercs
anyway thanks for all the f1 nades aslan that i'll definitly use to frag ya boys
yeah it's pretty silly how he doesnt ask questions about merc patches
Gamma already has 3dss which emulates pip scopes
Also like why would pip scopes even matter
zoom in not on by default and it kinda looks bad anyways cause it still makes it look like you are flying to the enemy with your weapon 
they're cool as shit which is why people try to add them to everything
very immersive
Ah yes because I’m “immersed” when my eyes suddenly become half as good the nanosecond I look into a scope
if they are well made you won't have this issue
yeah but scopes dont work like that
well, your eyes dont work like that
there's a certain point where trying to simulate reality just leads to shitty results
idk i've used scopes irl and something like iwp does them amazingly
much better than non pip, i would rather have 2d scopes than fake pip
Lol
Why do you care so much lmao
#1445642460779909211 integrated True PiP now if someone is interested
can people not talk of features they like but gamma doesnt have in this server
hopefully not bitcoin miner
I play with True PiP and I actually find it very immersive tbh
so you agree with me doe
Who knows ? 
immersion this immersion that
pah
i wish i could remove shader based scopes while keeping all the cool features
Yeah the caring so much was more for the others 
that makes more sense
everytime i make a suggestion here its like that
sometimes mfs gotta rant about things they love
True PiP is way better than all the screen zoom in so I can cheat using the edge of screen lol
But everybody plays the way they want tbh that's the advantage of a modular modpack 
piss colored scopes
hd models but not ripped from other games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Tpe6fRjjGM

This is like covering a pile of shit with gold
it's going to be shit regardless 
What's the best kit for the M700?

Deer Hunter,m for mutants hunting,it's not the best sniper imo
Crab Champion?
they can add pip scopes but they cannot make models that are not hexagonal
the hexagonal pip scope
I see more than 6 sides?
magpul or archangel. I prefer magpul
Step up from the kar though with the mag increase
damn, which country is that flag from
they have the prettiest girls
i'm not going to count them but they are very countable
Hexadecimal
Could be some reference 
Merc countryside
Count one quarter, multiply by 4
Does the arch just let you change the scope and up the mag size?
Don't think so
pretty much. The scope is the most important thing, so use what you prefer

the hexadecagonal pip scope
my modlist is stable, unforgivable
amateur 
wdym lol
Sometimes bullets just don't seem to kill things, mag dumping a random dog or cat to kill it, stalker tanking two shotgun slugs at point blank range... playing the same version of gamma for months now but for the last week bullets just don't deal any damage. No doubt next week the game will have changed in some other way without me touching the files...

what you're a default andy?

Misaligned sight or skill issue ?
oh my fucking god dude my internet keeps cutting out and ive been stuck downloading grass for hours now
how much fucking grass can there possibly be?!?!?!
austrilian spider legs can be used as antennas
there so many awsome mods how can u resist

I dunno, 2 shotgun slugs doesn't kill a random rookie bandit, but 1 shotgun round from him + some weird lag kills me from full health, game is just buggy sometimes.
Yeah maybe try restarting the game or your computer
Sometimes my game is much laggy than other times because of windows I guess
But I never ran into this kind of trouble tbh
no need to lie dude
are you using broken guns? 
who me? Nope, always green barrels

Yep misaligned sight or skill issue
I am remembering something about slugs being nerfed in 9.3, did that get reversed in 9.4?
slugs were never nerfed
No slug 1 shot, I personally experienced that yesterday
Hard/hard oc

what does that mean
Hard difficulty because on lower difficulty armor are buffed or smg I assume
I've always played on hard/hard
Pretty sure I remember slugs going from decent to garbage in 9.3
Then it should work, any mods that can mess ?
you remembering
you remember wrong 
the only thing that can be considered a nerf is the damage dealt to the Player from Slugs
slugs have always been and still are borderline overpowered

Why are you even doubting me when I actively tested 0.9.3 
Have you played more than 1 hour of 9.3?
I would have told you by now if Slugs were actually changed
Classic Gamma moment 
big boolet :)
big boolet
Also, it doesn't even matter what one person says is true or false about gamma gameplay, every single person is playing a different game with how many mods and bugs and versions there are
game does it's own thing and we just gotta guess at what is happening
this is very true
i went on a semi-schizo rant about a game mechanic that does not even exist and grok himself had to step in to tell me "yo wtf you talking about"
Personally play "vanilla" gamma with only few Qol/mods
Grok couldn't even explain have the stuff that happens in game
interactive PDA for the win
the #╓☢stalker-chat schizo rants are so true
the game mechanic was overpenetration btw this happened sometime last year

yeah no wonder Grok told you that 
I have never had an issue of bullets not doing damage
You will be surprised the amount of maggots that have this issue
Because shooting exo with hp 9x18 fort 12 ? 
but it should kill them with 1 bullet like old stalker!
you can pretty reasonably kill exos with fort 12 
I have an issue where an npc eats a 762x54 hp bullet to the face at point blank and keeps charging at me then one taps me
Soo unrealistic 
this is my face when the only people willing to send me some gun repair spray is some shitty bandits wanting 5k roubles for 2 cans of the stuff
u mean new one?

all of their armor went to their body
fat ass 
fat ass
all of their armor is located on their 4th left ribcage bone
idk they eat sniperbullets like candy
chuck some AP slugs their way and see how they feel afterwards
AP slugs have saved my ass so many times early game
Good for beginning but not for endgame
random merc squad in garbage? AP slugs
duty thinking theyre top shit? AP slugs
snorks off in the distance? AP slugs
you only need to carry like 6 of them with you but they're basically get out of jail free cards
if you arent a shitter of course
and then you get a mosin/kar98 and its basically just a AP slug gun
Hi Amigos, can you tell me how to cut off the thing that prevents me from disassembling something if the tool has less durability?
Maintain alt or smg the game told you what normally?
I just couldn't make it out.
If you're talking about pressing a button, then LEFT-CTRL.
Dunno I changed almost all my keybind tbh
I have found a way to disable it, thank you in advance.
Didn't do anything but np 
is this good enough for BS?
i assumeyou will equip the other armor
if so, yes, should be ok
1% ballistic resistance 
overkill
he has heavy armor in inventory tho
yeah I plan on running the redline
nah the exosuit is just for vibes
gotta speed thru yknow
BS ready meta gear
Rpg even if it's completely op and cheated
just dont run into mutants
check out my username bro
tf?
just exploded
Just cheat then 
Already got invictus throught savescumming i want it organically
dumb question but I can delete this after having the game fully installed and working for months right?
got atleast have it working for a year
then
just delete it
car
when its actually sunny inverno is so pretty
green better
which weather setting is that?
i like to do a new season every playthrough
next will probably be summer
oh nice
idk if you have heard of a guy called venoxium but in his playthroughs his game looks so vibrant
i kinda want it like that
yeah he has high colour saturation like 1.7
mine is like 1.5
he used this mod i believe: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/grass-and-trees-by-panceride-v10
with spring grass
yeh i am using it
How do you turn up saturation?
at the end of BS and timer is at 30 seconds.
You either need to get really good at running lines, or swallow your pride and load the autosave from transitioning into the area and try again for more time.
In my defense, this is my 2nd attempt and I got alot farther 
Running a clear sky seva, and Ks23.
Its not bad just gotta remember spawn locations.
press on basic light settings
anyone ever had an issue where grass settings cant save, whenever you change them they revert, any file or folder isnt in read only mode, the reset settings on launcher is unchecked, i really dont know what is going on.
In my experience the grass distance setting likes to go back to its default setting no matter what. Only way I've found to deal with keeping it at the minimum setting is by using mods that remove grass entirely, like INVERNO, or any of the potato graphics mods.
well the stm is surely the best starting weapon since they made it full auto
Honestly the PPsH, or the Thompson, are my vote for best starting weapons.
Good capacity, decent against both bandits and options for mutants with HP ammo, and once you find a gunsmithing kit you can make a bajillion bullets for them super easily.
stm has better stats and 32 rounds and scope
.45 hydroshock is lovely.
The gun's stats itself pales in comparison to the stats of the ammo it uses. .45 is an absolute monster for most of the early game and can even be used into the lategame for your mutant needs with hydroshock.
hydro is much more expensive plus hp 9mm peformes just fine unless ur facing chimeras and pseudogiants then u need a mag or two
Just craft it. 30 hg bullets, powder, and casings for 14 rounds is chump change from breaking down bandit handgun rounds.
But once ya get a smithing kit. You can convert 9mm to .45 pretty easily.
Or once ya get a P90. That 5.7x28. With pistol rounds
it costs double materials, plus just look at these stats bro
Accuracy and muzzle velocity don't really matter much for mutants since 99% of them just run at you in a straight line and are melee so they get close.

iam saying best all rounder
for everything
And .45 HP has something like 60~ damage.
I won't disagree it's a good all-rounder but you definitely want to specialize.
A gun specifically for mutants and a gun specifically for stalkers.
I didnt think stats were as relevant in gamma due to how the ballistics work.
It really ends up being more personal preference 
Just pick a gun in the caliber you like and run it.
i said start weapon
best start weapon
its objective
stats
The only gun stat that really 'matters' is accuracy, and even then it's such a minute difference that it's basically a placebo.
60 vs 83 % matters in pve
Getting a feel for bullet velocity for the gun you like makes it moot, reliability doesn't FEEL like it does anything for actually making the parts last longer, and handling only matters if you're hip firing.
i mean just look how sexy it is case closed
Unless you're doing literal cross-map sniping (I am talking 500m) the difference that accuracy makes is a drop of piss in the ocean.
And by then it doesn't matter either since AI just doesn't engage at longer distances, which is why scopes are so OP.
Me learning 9x39 
I use a Vintorez the moment I get an advanced kit and use it all the way up until expert kit for an SR-25.
if ur aiming for headshots accuracy matters or the bullet literally does not go where u aim
Honestly in my personal opinion, even 9x39's lower velocity and quicker drop is still incredibly easy to compensate for at any distance you're going to realistically use it at, and the performance of the rounds make using it a no-brainer.
My gun enthusiast friend kept telling me to use Vintorez for BS.
I see why.
Had a mono dude with a val absolutely shred my CS4a suit
and if i did kill him, I usually bled out before I could stop the bleeding 🤣
That'll happen even with the highest accuracy gun in the game, I've had a gun with 99% accuracy and had the bullet go off-mark. But enemies have head hitboxes that are pretty damn big and (provided you are at a distance with a scope) basically do their best LARP of carnival game ducks. Slide out, stand still for a second, slide back in. 
it will happen less often
On average if you're at the funny scope distance where AI derps out, it'll take 2-4 shots to dome someone, which is the price you pay for not having AI interact with you in a meaningful way.
Though if what I've seen being posted in upcoming mods channel has any weight, we might have some actual AI interaction to look forward to as scope users soon. An AI vision mod that increases their sight range if they have scopes or binos (also seems to remove the eyes from the backs of their heads which is nice).
But hey, while we split nails about the accuracy rating in GAMMA, just remember accuracy in the base stalker games.
SHoC had your AKs with a firing cone that made CoD shotguns blush. 
When you spray and pray aiming down sights and barely get a hit 
Unless you put a scope on your gun, which magically makes ADS turn your gun into a laser beam.
Insert 'listen, ivan' meme here.
I just need to think of what rifle to use for BS to compliment my p90 and KS23.
I have a groza storm and a AK5C in great shape.
And a Vintorez.
Honestly if you have a decent bit of 9x39 AP I'd say use the Groza and just go Rambo on them.
Seriously the timer is very tight, you gotta just blitz them.
That or bring like 50 grenades and cosplay a World at War nazi. 
the ks 23 and p90 itself is enough for brain scorcher
Ah, I saw 'groza' and instantly thought 9x39. Whoops.
just convert the groza storm to 9x39
No type D kits 
Might actually try Mono exosuit + RPD.
rip and tear
way to go yeah. Or Akimbo KS23 + P90 in pistol slot

Remember switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading 
you can't "akimbo", just use 2 slots with 2 KS23, when one is empty swap to the 2nd slot
Akimbo KSG23 my beloved

Ah yes, we love having 24 Shrapnel rounds before a reload.
Imagine a Protecta with Shrapnel rounds.
I cannot fathom the scripting and engine modifications required + custom animations + how are you even reloading

Goldeneye reload, lower gun, make funny 'chick' sound, bring guns up. Done. 
just need a little passion is all
Funnily enough. My last BS run a Monolith had a 12.7mm assault rifle 
akimbo protecta with AP Slug works for BS
Ash-12?
its nice that spawning sheningans just does not work and i die upon transfer
I think so. Also theres a ISG rifle in there too.
My BS run this playthrough took me 3 attempts but I did it with my Vintorez and KS-23 and like, 19 seconds left on the timer. 
this is what i was gonna post to
ilrath the legend
Im getting better each time. Thats what matters 
And Its a very fun challenge for me.
I'd still say that MM > BS in terms of difficulty. The psy ghosts are a massive pain and Burers can eat my ass 
Tanky fucking dwarf fucks with force lightning that can beat you to death with a box from 3 rooms away.
Im having opposite time lol.
MM with decent helmet, one artifact at 30% and my CS4a suit it was a cakewalk
You could program it as one gun like two pistols take a primary slot then have the animations for akimbo
like a fake akimbo
like fort "akimbo" version
I believe there was talk in Juan's gun post for a while about potential 'akimbo' and the main thing would just be the fact the bullets would only come from one of the guns.
You can make a Fort with twice the capacity and make a view model that is two guns, but the bullets still need an origin point and they can only have one.
Not a problem in games that use hitscan like CoD because there's no visible bullets but Stalker uses actual bullet physics with visible tracers.
maybe u can make it like how a shotgun works its one origin point but there is multiple projectiles or am i tripping
I wanna dual wield Ak 74u
dual pkms
Pretty sure for that you'd need to make a whole new ammo type for the guns themselves and we love bloat.
AFAIK, the bullets themselves aren't controlled by the gun but the ammo.
Aint a good day till you kill some sinners.

no
you're so wrong
"psy-ghosts" just pop psyblock and shoot them
lmao
literally just use a shotgun it's mostly mutants besides the sin
can’t stop a zone taker from failing in Jupiter
run over to see what’s happening
2 sinners outside the underground train depot
”yeah that adds up”
notice floating boxes
a burrer and karlac are chilling in the stair case
”oh they had a lot going on”
2 legend monos inside the depo area
”what the fuck did this guy do???”
im gonna argue that BS is harder than MM cause it
just is
you have to deal with radar as a whole which has NO FRIENDLIES within the vicinity, only mutants and monolith
and on the inside it's all monolith and they have good guns
Mm is easy if you slow roll it and let the burers come to you

im racist towards burers
MM is easy i guess some people have a skill issue huh
And the little gremlins that also do psy damage
i think its a mpreg story of controllers and burers making karliks
the zone really is fucked up
shoot the children
BS is harder, why?
psy artefacts and psy tablets exist 
Radar mutant spawns are fucked
IT'S LIKE OUTSKIRTS BUT FOR THE EARLY-MID GAME
KS23 time
last time i was there pseudogiants cleared half of radar for me 
Yeah
i saw a pseudogiant duke it out with the melon eater chimera
Weird thing. Radar is always almost empty for me. Save a couple mutants.
Like Eerily empty lol.
i have monolith and mutants in radar
Never played Max Payne?
For the actual under ground section even tho the timer is a cool gimmick cause your forced to push and can’t just wait
Even if 10 minutes is kinda generous
it was like that in SOC but the timer was lower
im playing with both 1.0 spawns 
I think my progression was tourist but I cant remember. Im 90% certain I chose hard difficulty though 
Might be why BS is a challenge
no i mean zcp spawn settings
default its 0.5 both
Ill check mine tonight and see what I have.
I may have mine at 0.5 for mutants and a little higher for stalkers but honestly.
I set it up like 4 months ago 🤣 and ive come to find out alot of settings weren't stock.
Resetting my SSS settings alone was a miracle

I know a good majority of my monolith in my BS runs are full exosuit or exo 
imagine an exo only mod where everyone has an exo regardless of rank
and you start with a makarov and a sunrise
No one in the south would ever die
Well, if they are only allowed to have balaclavas on their face it should be fine. 🤡
infact no. nosrogs.
empties 90 9mm rounds and then has to go to loris to get more to go back to the enemy
never
indeed. Then again, second hand has a lot of scripting and engine specific functions like using detectors and so on, grabbing items on the ground etc
the man himself?
terrifying.
hes burning in hell


No lol wut
Time to fix the bug
Imma do it when I have time dw i gotchu, if the weapon is a primary you cant grab stuff and use second hand anyway but for secondary you're right
stupid question negative health regen doesn't kill you right?
got it
Guess whos learning artifact melting today? 
pro tip: t4 recipes are, flash + bubble > volat. full empty + black spray > compass, flame + fireball > knot, snowflake + firefly > oasis
work backwards from these
the new stalker 2 missions 
Lmfao
How I sleep
welcome back xray bed jank
Me hoping to get some good blood clotting so I dont instantly bleed out from a 9x39 turning me into a pincushion 
eye is good for bleed i think its 1220 ml
Where are the option for animations ?
what animations exactly
Dismentle
i think those were removed for busyhands reasons
I didn't have them until recently in my run and can't find how to turn them back off
should be somewhere in your mcm i believe
This shit gets me every time lol
xray jank is so charming for some reason
The noosphere gently levitates you to bed when you're too drunk to find it
Got the same idee but i'm getting trough it and i find nothing ^^"
The zone really is beautiful
is it under normal settings > player? srry i havent messed with the animation settings in a while so my memory is fuzzy
there are too many good soc gifs
can we do that in stalker
stalker gamma
i mean if you can somehow knife a chopper i think so
:)
Was a good idee but i see nothing for dismantle
I've been trouh it and i don't see anithing about dismantling animation
dismantle as in items?
My bad, in game it's named "disassemble"
i dont think there ever was an animation for that in gamma
maybe in vanilla anomaly, where it'd lock you into some camera movement, but no actual animation to speak of
iirc there used to be way back when like pre FDDA redone days, but it was janky and it was just your player character fiddling with his hands
Yes it was, i'm sure of this.
But my problem is that it turned on mid playtrough and i don't know how to turn it back off
disassemble animations are part of the item usage animations
shown in the screenshot above
Will i loose food animation too if i turn that off ?
anomaly for some reason has a button to disable the feature ingame
no
fdda is disconnected from that option
the item usage animations option from anomaly only controls the wobbly camera movements (and input lockouts) you get when using items
that was on ] i think
Thank you very much, it was the solution !!!
I AM IN THE CNPP ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
Thank everyone for helping and giving directions and idees 🙂 👍
it was so bad, thank god for fdda redone
cooking took like 5 times as long for no reason
it's like hearing that :
https://tenor.com/view/stalker-early-gif-18074307
43%/38% are quite high to be honest ... so, pretty normal.
also those old item use animations would make you motion sick bc they had so much camera movement
i had to turn them off for that reason specifically
It was a good idee, and like a first step in the direction of nice animation i think
yeah for base anomaly its nice ig
but when youre constantly disassembling items for scraps and crafting parts it gets old fast
i think hes stuck
Yes clearly ^^
rupture res saved my ass fr
Is the freedom skyfall mission programmed to not allow disguise? Im in an eco suit and im still getting shot at
Had to stop playing cause being employed sucks but remembering why I hate having to go through loner for money in end game because they are all fucking broke as shit
jesus christ
what armor are oyu even wearing
ok gnag
i havent gone back to base for 2 ingames days, its all from stash/task rewards
i laoded in after saying that
and theres a peutogiant
right infrotn of me
it spawned right infront of me
fuck
mono ibaz
Lol RIP
slay
sick, need 2 more
War lab 
this is my first itme doing it
Fun times ahead
yeah i can tell
OOPEN THE NOOR
what the fuck is going on
Where can i sell artifacts as a bandit?
don't sell them to traders, get tasks for them
man just got executed
Sorry to necro this, I just got back from the doctor's so I'm a bit behind but;
Important to note that you aren't going to be wearing all of these 100% of the time. Volat is specifically for when you are anomaly diving, for instance.
It's not a backpack any more, it's basically a tool kit you keep on you. By default just having it in your inventory gives you its benefits.
yeah but for learning the recipes its easier to work backwards from the t4s
I just sold two of mine because I'm gonna be upgrading to the SR-25 soon. I'd give you mine if I could but... 
instead of going "oh jellyfish does 5% br, but meat chunk does 10, and wrenched does etc" you can go "if i want 25% i need a compass, which means i need a full empty, which means i need an empty, etc"
Also maybe I'm weird but I feel like using a Full Empty is better than the Compass is... but you can also technically do both if you have the time to work up two full empties. 
Downside of course is like -15kg carry weight but...
How am I supposed to carry my 20 bottles of vodka that way?
Oh! On the note of T3s, I had a Sin drop a Sponge earlier.
...that is T3 right? Or is that T2? I don't remember.
In your stomach, obviously. 
FOODS DECAY now?!?!? whadda
great models
Build/buy a fridge, keeps them forever.
A mod is going to include these and more models by head greib in the release

The name was like

City of the Lost Dreams or New Spaces, smth like that
there's a way to turn that stupid shite off
nah, i like it
you can make them not rot in a fridge
Very cool, not cool for getting 12 pieces of meat tho
Fridge op
whats the compass mod you're usin there?
dynahud compass
Preciate it.
How does your game look so different from what i normally play gamma
Is it that easy to make the helmet and guns look better
what if i extract something with 7zip, but the extract doesnt finish? its at 100%, but doesnt continue
just tweak SSS, install LUT, tweak atmos and shit and bam
Guys is it possible to add life granter every 5 days when the game is already started?
No
do i need some kind of generator or electrical power source? or the fridge has unlimited electricity?
Unlimited thankfully
yeee
Does not need a power source and its pretty cheap
tnx for the fridge idea
Meat doesnt decay at all, i keep my chimera meat there
Do I step into the Orb 
it's a ut99 teleport pad
Driving in my carrr right after a beeeer

i need
So uh... Is there a reason why my 'run' (not sprint, just holding W) in this Exo I just repaired is literally the same speed as if I was holding shift?
I tested it. The only difference is the walking animation my legs do. The speed is the exact same. Even after fuckin' with Gotta Go Fast in the MCM.
Exos can't run by default
Upgraded it for sprint already.
Huh, that's odd then
I mean literally JUST holding W.
That is "run".
I also only have like, 66% of my sprint bar filled?
sounds like you're missing the PSU or batteries
Oh, wait, yeah I put a PSU in it but I don't have charge. Hmm... 
Durr

batteries not included
Ow
gamma poop
I just died to psi in dark valley
Next to the bandit base
North west
It seemed as if there was a spy zone. My vision turned green and i died in about 4 seconds
Gray*
Is that a permanent thing? How does it work/ how do i spot it vefore going in?
Sounds to me you just walked into a chem anonaly
north west sounds correct for the psi field
and he corrected green to gray
yeah he just got fried
Aaah
there is
What about bullet drag
guys, I gave Strelok the X8 documents but there in no "I'm ready" option
especially noticeable with 9x39 and 12,7mm
other calibers don't really get enough distance to start dropping noticeably
the maps are too small
did you do quests for the other two from his group?
yes
it functionally is because you're pushing it super far if you take a shot at even like 80m out
and most x54 weapons have bullet speeds far above 1000m/s
some even above 1200m/s
how do i disable merc voicelines i think im losing my mind
1 to a psyf8eld i didnt know about in dark valley
Ans one to an anomaly
From arrival mod
!voice
@nocturne lotus read this: #╭📖faq message
it's been there since Clear Sky i think
only back then it was visible from the outside
i don't get why the cvfx author(s) made the psy field effect invisible
what was the point
I did it for Rogue but not for Stitch. And I got my answer by oflin, thx. I need to do the one for Stitch as well.
litear
when ganba 0.9.5?
ah yeah the one that covers that weird hilltop, i've died to it as well
just in the middle of nowhere
hi stalkers
feeling really good about stalker lately, the update, Old world anomaly, I think i am back in the addiction.
hey so theoretically if someone was redownloading gamma and the launcher crashed mid download because they decided to play fnv and a memory leak crashed both programs would they have to restart the entire download
I wanna buy a plane ticket and actually go to Ukraine and chain smoke cigarettes hididng in abandoned buildings and on top of the palace of culture
asking for a friend
That would be unhealthy
And I don’t mean the cigarettes
the progress bar went to the same spot after relaunching btw but I wanna make sure I'm not about to waste 10 hours installing just to have to do it again
tell your friend it is extremely likely they will have to do this. if I remember correctly this happened to me and it detects what is already installed so itll seem like its taking a long ass time but then it will jump up IF im not thinking of another mod for another game
I dont really care it would be worth it
It has been my dream since like 10 to go there
If I step one foot in the exclusion zone and die to a landmine I would still call that a W
ok so the download is speedrunning now aparently because the download bar just jumped to 40%
from like 10
and now this is actually really unhealthy thing from my buket list but I really wanna get irradiated a little bit.
I wanna hear that thing clicky click
itll be just like Fallout
ill get a second arm and funny perks
OWA 1.5.3 was delayed😔
I didn't even know that existed, I am playing 1.5.2
whats new in 1.5.3?
