[graceful quiver]

So much

[dusk vessel]

then ill switch

[blissful ivy]

no pistol?

[naive haven]

mmm?

[dusk vessel]

dont need one

[naive haven]

like everysetting in sss23

[blissful ivy]

i like to have one regardless

[dusk vessel]

ill get a glock19 hornet mabye

or a deagle

[blissful ivy]

good for executing downed stalkers

or use knife i suppose

[dusk vessel]

i use knife

[blissful ivy]

but guns better when monolith grenade is a thing

[naive haven]

i use knife saves ammo

[dusk vessel]

knife is my backup

[blissful ivy]

i dont trust bodies

i mean sure other factions dont do it

[dusk vessel]

im just roaming dark valley/garbage/tc

[blissful ivy]

but its engrained into my mind to shoot downed stalkers

[dusk vessel]

no monos for the moment

[blissful ivy]

so i just do

[dusk vessel]

monos if i down them i double tap them with my rifle right after

the afrian drill

[blissful ivy]

i save rifle ammo like its the last bullets in the zone

so if i have a chance to use cheap pistol rounds, i take it

sure the ammo is abundant especially late game

[dusk vessel]

ive got a bunch of 9x18 and 9x19 lying around

[blissful ivy]

but im cheap

[dusk vessel]

allat is just stuff i found

rifle ammos being used and some buck

250 ap 9x18 lmao

[graceful quiver]

?

[naive haven]

so max every slider in sss23 mcm

[graceful quiver]

Oh that's a different story

[naive haven]

uh oh

sometimes i wish there was a config

[graceful quiver]

Yeah, would be nice to have better profiles so you don't have to fine tune so much

[graceful quiver]

Now that's a decent amount

[dusk vessel]

might carry a PM just to use it for downed stalkers lmao

i got the ammo anyway

[steep elm]

Fuck

finally got that Dead Night task done lmao; at least the core of it. All the zombies and controller are dead.

[graceful quiver]

I just knife finish them for that personal relationship

[steep elm]

gobless HP .45acp

[graceful quiver]

.45 ACP gud~

-# 10mm Auto when

[dusk vessel]

5.45 hp>

does more damage per bullet than hydroshocks beyond like 25 meters

or less even

[steep elm]

one of the zombies had an epinephrine shot on him

holy moly

[graceful quiver]

At least he knew how to party

[steep elm]

I have an FNP 45 tac

TRUE

[graceful quiver]

Perfectly decent pistol~

[dusk vessel]

yeah its nice

[steep elm]

Oh super cool pistol.

I recently just bought one irl too

[dusk vessel]

ill prefer a usp though

[steep elm]

So looting it in Gamma was a sign for me to finally acquire one irl

[graceful quiver]

Wish FN parts were more ubiquitous in NA, otherwise I would have gotten an FN 510 too

[steep elm]

Darkscape sure is a fun place

said no one ever

[dusk vessel]

well when it was the only place where you had cars

it was

[steep elm]

Yeah that would more often than not give me busyhands if I used them

so I still don't use them

lmao

[dusk vessel]

ive never had busyhands myself

[steep elm]

lucky

[dusk vessel]

im just blessed like that

[steep elm]

you may have just jinxed it tho

[dusk vessel]

im the embodiement of

[grave pivot]

The walls and props ARE bulletproof 😭

[hasty sun]

Ding Advanced Tools
All my money about to vanish

[dusk vessel]

oh bruh the rate of fire upgrades on AKMS are actually a percentage increase

not just a flat number

i can get this rof really high damn

[graceful quiver]

900 rpm AK

[dusk vessel]

it starts out at 620 and a single 10% upgrade put it to 668 rpm

on other guns itd be 630rpm

[hasty sun]

You see Ivan when rifle shoot enough bullet where bullet goes does not matter

[dusk vessel]

or you just have godlike counter strike aim

[graceful quiver]

Ivan when boolits follow other boolits close to their ass they hit better!

[hasty sun]

Just learn the pattern

[blissful ivy]

thats nice, i have a benelli

[dusk vessel]

just used the loan function for the first time because the technician sold a tier 3 firing mechanism upgrade

and i was short

didnt want it to reset before i got the cash

[blissful ivy]

oh i just sell shit like a gambling addict

to afford it

[steep elm]

[dusk vessel]

ill just do 3 quests and get it all back

[blissful ivy]

exactly

[steep elm]

I might buy a fancy lasagna shotgun one of these days. My only shotgun is an LE Remington 870; it's pretty cool because it has a surefire grip/light.

[blissful ivy]

neat, i also have an 870 with classic wood furniture

i like it classic

if i want polymer tactical shit i have my benelli for that

[naive haven]

just me but the icons are werid

[graceful quiver]

Can just get a we-have-Benelli-at-home Stoeger

[steep elm]

Hell yeah. I'd also prefer wood furniture, but alas I took what I could get at the time.

[naive haven]

what mod did i turn off now

[hollow wadi]

Looks like an icon mod broke, though I don't know which

[hasty sun]

God 5.56 feels good

[blissful ivy]

you can switch it out y'know

i got an sks with polymer body too, has a pic rail on the receiver

its like if the sks molot didnt suck and use dovetail mounts

[steep elm]

I can, ye

just very lazy and haven't thought about doing it lol

[hasty sun]

Do y'all carry both a big helmet and a gas mask and switch whenever needed?
Or do you just raw dog it

[blissful ivy]

helmet

unless its the ach-7

that thing sucks

and i never touch it

switching isnt feasible because i like the animations

would take too long for me

[dusk vessel]

its not terrible

[naive haven]

oh ok ill try to fix

[hasty sun]

Well all i have is either the ach-7 or a two gas mask so i guess that's that

[dusk vessel]

the one with a respiratory system is okay

[naive haven]

i hate gamma sometimes

[blissful ivy]

i mean the no resp one

the one that just removes all rad res

[dusk vessel]

that one is indeed ass

[blissful ivy]

that thing is shit

i would have said ach-7ex if i meant that one

[dusk vessel]

this one is good

[graceful quiver]

How is Trader Destockifier?

[steep elm]

Since I use Drunk's Miserable Masks mod, I prefer using helms or gasmasks that offer the clearest field of view tbh

[blissful ivy]

but the base one is the worst headgear besides the surplus and the cloth mask/balaclava

because like eh

[naive haven]

shitt there should be mod

shit this is offtopic

[dusk vessel]

balaclava for the style points

[hollow wadi]

Fix it with support channel's help

[hasty sun]

Oh no the CS medium armor trade is pretty ass

And all i got are overcoats

[graceful quiver]

CS armors are kinda ass tbh

[hasty sun]

Yeah i noticed

Big choice right now between Monolith or Sin overcoat

[blissful ivy]

SHAT changes that

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1356093219837837312

shameless plug

of someone elses mod

[hasty sun]

I'm going Monolith Overcoat for the drip

Oh nvm they don't have the same upgrades i need to check that

[naive haven]

dam how the fuck can a rx 9070 not run gamma

this is bullshit

im geting 57 fps

[blissful ivy]

57? i get like 80

on a 3060

im not sure why that is

[hollow wadi]

!core0 // Try this bit

[dawn marten]

@naive haven How to disable Core 0: #╭📖faq message

[hasty sun]

Yo the sin overcoat got +20% ballistic res in upgrade

[hollow wadi]

Don't take the number too serious

It's flavour

[hasty sun]

Is it flat or multiplicative?

[blissful ivy]

closer to 3-4% iirc

[hasty sun]

Oh then it's giga garbo

[blissful ivy]

i dont think its either, its just a small amount

[naive haven]

oh yeah i forgot about that

[blissful ivy]

its not bad

[hasty sun]

The monolith one gets me 5 belt slots instead

Sounds slightly better

[blissful ivy]

slightly?

1 belt slot is huge

usually

[hasty sun]

I am aware

[blissful ivy]

4 > 5 is great

[blissful ivy]

oh thats 71

i see no issue

[hasty sun]

And the monolith one is white so that's drip

[blissful ivy]

also gpus dont mean all that much in gamma, its heavily cpu intensive

[graceful quiver]

Overall does it just make more armors useful or does it fundamentally changes progression?

[blissful ivy]

but i doubt you have a bad cpu if you have a good gpu

[blissful ivy]

it brings all sorts of armors from mid to good

[naive haven]

big drops

[blissful ivy]

or it brings op down to great

it balances

it fixes

[naive haven]

i cant walk 2 cms with out a fps frop

[blissful ivy]

for instance the skat-9 suits

theyre all on a similar level

[graceful quiver]

Yeah need the one stronk core to atlas load bear the engine

[naive haven]

yet the game looks ass

[dusk vessel]

you can make any armour terminator with the right artifacts

[naive haven]

shit looks like arma 3

[dusk vessel]

if it has enough slots

[graceful quiver]

That's good, as long as it doesn't change vanilla game flow too much

More choices for useful armor is preferrable when you keep having to throw a bunch of them out

[blissful ivy]

i mean i have a lower standard than you might, my standard is: the game turns on, the game runs

[dusk vessel]

hurts

[naive haven]

i have a Ryzen 5 7500F

[dusk vessel]

but was worth it since the technician did reset since then

[naive haven]

lamo i use to play gamma on a latop

so im used to it too

just that i got a 2k pc and gamma still cant run well

[steep elm]

Just shove this into my mod list, or do you need to disable anything as well?

[naive haven]

wait you guys know a good sky mod rn the sky looks like poopoo

grayer then commie block housing

[dusk vessel]

bruh i thought hiding under cars will survive an emission

is it only certain ones?

[blissful ivy]

its good to go wherever

its just an ltx

[steep elm]

Gotcha, thanks chief

[steep elm]

You can do that, yeah, but just pay attention to the cover bar at the bottom of your screen; it should fully disappear if you're safe from an emission.

[graceful quiver]

No specific load order?

[dusk vessel]

it didnt work

i found a ship container instead

[steep elm]

[steep elm]

Nope

[graceful quiver]

Naisu~

[steep elm]

I did notice it overwrites the one mod that affects character speed based on which outfit you're wearing, but that's probably fine.

[graceful quiver]

I'll just put it at the bottom

[steep elm]

yeah that's fine

[blissful ivy]

no

unless you have other mods that affect armor stats

[graceful quiver]

Nah, just playing vanilla/plus

[blissful ivy]

then just anywhere near bottom

[graceful quiver]

Thanks for recommendation~

[hasty sun]

Okay i'm like a dozen murders in when is duty turning hostile?

[steep elm]

yeah I think the only thing I have in that regard is Drunk's Miserable Masks which adds a whole new helm/mask to the game.

but that shouldn't be an issue I'm guessing

[graceful quiver]

Should hopefully make armor play more interesting with more choices rather than throwing away the majority of them

[steep elm]

I hoard like 1 of each armor anyway

[graceful quiver]

I was doing that until they became too heavy and I had to decide to keep only the best next upgrades plus the lightest one for each faction

[steep elm]

I just keep 'em all stored in a locker at my main base of operations

helms/masks and outfits

[graceful quiver]

Filled up 2 empty exo boxes lol

[steep elm]

I'm lazy and just have it so stashes can hold unlimited weight

[graceful quiver]

Understandable lol

Can't say I hadn't contemplated enabling it

[hasty sun]

Oh now that i'm Merc HQ changing faction is getting real tempting

Would it fuck with the main quests since i'm already halfway through?

[steep elm]

Never really thought about how changing factions would screw with main quests.

[hasty sun]

Game is finicky

[lavish delta]

Who do sell my weapon attachments to? Any trader or is there some one who plays for this stuffs more?

[steep elm]

So, I used to sell my weapon attachments to mechanics because they offered more money, but in Gamma's current version it seems you can't do that anymore; therefore, I've just been selling my attachments to any traders now.

[dusk vessel]

i stockpile attachments because they dont sell for much anyway

except thermals

[blissful ivy]

i keep one of each

then sell the extras

no reason to have more than 1

just take it off one gun and put it on another

not like you can use them all at once

[graceful quiver]

Same

And in the rare instances of you somehow having and using multiple weapons that use the same attachments, dupes can come easy enough

But yeah, having to peddle attachments and parts is why I wanted to enable black market

[dusk vessel]

what??

[blissful ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/first-time-meme-first-time-the-ballad-of-buster-scruggs-gif-24656975

ive seen that one like 800 times

[dusk vessel]

i usually dont read what it says

[blissful ivy]

i do if its 1-2 pdas

if its more than that i usually just accept and go

[dusk vessel]

yeah that is funny

[scenic maple]

was blackjack and the CS quest to get gunsmithing tools removed?

[dusk vessel]

828 rpm akms

thats 208 more than stock

[graceful quiver]

Paratrooper SAW lol

[dusk vessel]

that problem just fixed itself

nice

[quasi grove]

hmm any way other than jupiter eco to get tier 2 artifact fusion book?

[latent cairn]

i have a lost signal in fuckin zaton

ive ran around getting stashes with my radio out

no beeps

can someone give me the map

[lavish delta]

i sold all of mine for 100k somehting

[graceful quiver]

Very nice~

[mild gust]

So i'm doing a rescure mission but the stalker I'm supposed to rescue keeps spawning beyond the level transition army warehouses-dead city, how am I supposed to solve this? I tried noclipping to him but i just get sent to the next area when i exit no clip. I tried exiting the area and waiting a day but he doesnt move 🙁

[rose musk]

throw a grenade to kill him and fail the mission

easy

[mild gust]

yeah, well except that?

[tough quail]

there was a freedomer asking me to do some bodycam recording me lit up some mutant for a bet

wack

[mild gust]

knife a blood sucker? Yeah, fuck taht

he can grow his own balls and do it himself

[tough quail]

some loner walked into an electric anomaly and died, he had a nomad suit on him

yoink i guess

[celest sparrow]

!transition

[dawn marten]

@mild gust

• To enable level transition confirmation prompt, disable this mod in Mod Organizer:
  206- Areas transition without confirmation (smoother gameflow) of the 202- Optional category.
• In case if you want to toggle transition willingly, download the archive attached to the message. Install it in MO2, pressing Ctrl + M, enable it. In-game, pressing L will toggle transition ability. Do not save behind transition zones. The ability to transition will enable itself automatically after travelling.

[mild gust]

@celest sparrow thanks, but too much work XD

[celest sparrow]

WDYM TOO MUCH WORK

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/G80E2yGXQAEKfwr.gif

[jovial timber]

what are some fun factions to play

[hollow wadi]

Gets given the easiest solution of 12 total mouse clicks
Too much work

[tough quail]

12 too many clicks

simply not doing the quest

[hollow wadi]

The solution should be "play for me"

[rose musk]

listen the grenade throw was the simplest strat

obviously

[rare rampart]

Meele

[tough quail]

what pistol should i keep with me for general pest and lowly bandit wrangling? sr1m custom, strayer voight, glock hornet or just deagle?

i should take this deagle to nimble

the way to usp march is still far

[rare rampart]

deagle; single shot, high damage

my choice for mutant dog size and bandits in adidas

[tough quail]

i guess deagle then

[rare rampart]

glock hornet got dps, so more for psuedo giants etc imo

[tough quail]

i have frasier for those guys

also since when do we have a small variant of pseudo giant that can leap

scared the shit out of me

[rare rampart]

prob 2023 or earlier

[tough quail]

i played gamma in early half of 2022 and havent check back until now

[rare rampart]

2023-2024 then

https://imgur.com/a/mbav3KS

[tough quail]

burer is now more annoying is what i can see

[rare rampart]

"UBGL Banzai"

[tough quail]

i forgot what the gun stats do again

[rare rampart]

!whatthegundoin

[dawn marten]

@tough quail read this: #╭📖faq message

[tough quail]

thanks

handling is useless then

and recoil

[fallen pond]

Yes burers are annoying

Controllers are so much worse

[tough quail]

i was doing miracle machine and 3 of them showed up around the corner

[fallen pond]

Even if you have god mode on the suicide trick still kills you

[tough quail]

one took my gun one throw things at me and the last one electric blasted my ass back to the loading screen

[topaz mantle]

Mercs become friends with loners?

[rare rampart]

if you turned off brain scorcher

[topaz mantle]

Only with me or with whole faction?

[rare rampart]

whole faction

[topaz mantle]

i see, thanks

[tough quail]

but they are the best pinatas

[harsh sandal]

Loners? Meh...

[molten sparrow]

Idk I have noticeable improvements with enough recoil? Or is it placebo? Roast me gamma

Im at that pre BS moment in a playthrough where im like “maybe this would be more fun as a merc”

Loner gets real boring… kinda same problem as Eco

[rare rampart]

honestly

mercs...

i find the start (a bit) more...

"challenging"

yea

"challenging"

(is good)

[tough quail]

i only play loner to unlock the other factions

after that its all sin

slapping people with the chimera shotgun is pretty funny for me

[rare rampart]

I like playing as a merc mostly because...

idk

war crimes i guess

[cedar comet]

Stalkers really be walking into the "retard femur snapper" anomaly

[foggy geyser]

oof
im glad i overprepared for CNPP because most of my squad died there

i took thousands of rounds of AP and i still spent most of it

[hollow wadi]

Tf
Are you magdumping every mono

[topaz mantle]

Gonna do an Invictus run, Mercs or dooty?

[foggy geyser]

yes

next question

shoot em till they stop moving and shoot em some more

[hollow wadi]

Unless you wanna fight Uncle Yar in Outskirts, Merc

[cursive sparrow]

so I haven't played gamma in a year or so and I heard that stalker 2 is a disappointment, is there new stuff I can look forward to in gamma at least?

also happy holidays and all that to you zone survivors

[green gyro]

ive enjoyed stalker 2 for what it is

runs like absolute dog

gamma has been rebalanced a bit

[cursive sparrow]

i am still waiting for alife in st2, so trying to avoid it until then :/

a'ight dope, I guess I can try the fancy new installer

[dark cedar]

merc has it quite a bit easier in the north

[dusk vessel]

thats a good reason to pick duty

[dark cedar]

both are fun for sure

[dusk vessel]

you do have the scientists bunker and loner camps

[lethal patrol]

yooo

[topaz mantle]

wow

he is pretty good

[formal mountain]

pretty good

[foggy geyser]

how do i get to this stash
even inside the sarcophagus it says it's below me

[tough quail]

i cant play ironman because i would die like this 30 hours in unironically

[flint crag]

is it pilots one? if so -> #╟🔰☢newbies-chat message

[tough quail]

oh wait i cant go to the red forest first without disabling brain scorcher

[flint crag]

correct

[tough quail]

i keep forgetting

dementia

[foggy geyser]

yeah it is Pilot's
thanks mate

[lethal patrol]

i have to actually push the house in no step back because of redone ai

[tough quail]

the barrier fight dropped an ak104 alpha and an ak74 pmc

i guess those are my upgrade

and an mp9

[lethal patrol]

no step back but theyre all in the fucking house

[woven hollow]

how dows overall reputation impact gameplay?

i keep tanking it for killing bandits rn

and idk what will happen if i keep doing this

[graceful quiver]

Why can't I get the position and icon settings for Modular Compass Minimap to apply?

[hollow wadi]

Lower FPS

[woven hollow]

wait, really?

[hollow wadi]

Anomaly is heavily single-threaded
Everything is handled by one core in your CPU

More things to handle = lower FPS, more stutters, etc

Also, this happens faster

!65k

[dawn marten]

@hollow wadi Anomaly has a limit of a total of 65535 objects (IDs) in the game. Whenever the game engine generates a new enemy with items, it tags the object ID number to the enemy unit and its items.
The same goes for traders & their items, every time you interact with the trader and visit a new place and kill an enemy and check their loot, you make the game engine generate ID numbers. If that ID number reaches 65535, the game crashes, and you won't be able to play anymore on that same game file, unless you "free" some IDs.
You can lower the amount of used IDs by letting items despawn or by selling/donating them at any trader.

[woven hollow]

and low overall rep adds some new npc spawns?

[woven hollow]

oh shit

[hollow wadi]

Which is why Warfare mode saves suffer a lot more (not counting regular crashes)

ZCP is super charged to keep fights going
More corpses, more IDs
More loot, more IDs
More NPCs, more IDs, more calculations

Lower FPS

Buuuuut

!core0 helps a little

[dawn marten]

@hollow wadi How to disable Core 0: #╭📖faq message

[hollow wadi]

There's also this https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1445642460779909211
Core0 but better(?), but unstable because literally version 0.2.1

[woven hollow]

yep

[valid crater]

Well, if people would stop being loot goblins it may help, but some hoard even 5% useless parts.

[woven hollow]

i see

classic

[hollow wadi]

(new game required)

[woven hollow]

also meanwhile

[woven hollow]

tbf i am a loot goblin but i've changed unusable parts handler to sell <60% parts automatically

as opposed to default <40%

[rare rampart]

not sure how to feel about this tbh

i alrdy have advanced tools

plus

loot is...

nice ig

[hollow wadi]

Ez

[jade acorn]

im trying to complete operation afterglow and have just delivered rogue and stitch to the laundromat, but I never get a message from alexander so loose ends wont trigger. Tried running in and out multiple times, talking to everyone, retracing my steps to the areas rogue and stitch were, no luck

is this a known issue? any way to get around it without invalidating invictus?

[hollow wadi]

Oh you're in invictus

[hollow wadi]

Oh wait, how did you leave the Laundromat?

You have to walk out of it, no fast travel, no staying inside waiting

[jade acorn]

yeah I did

I still have an autosave from when I came to outskirts to start the quest to begin with so I guess ill try doing it over again

I just hope this isnt how I lose the run

would be very cursed

[hollow wadi]

Anomaly moment

[jade acorn]

watching youtube videos of other people getting the quest trigger, green with envy

https://tenor.com/view/yugioh-punch-ground-punching-ground-it-shouldve-been-me-it-shouldve-been-me-not-him-gif-27446150

[lethal patrol]

its this guy again, how many packages does he want

[idle kelp]

Worst case scenario, there is a way to use debug in invictus to fix glitches... but that's on your own honour to not abuse it

[lavish delta]

Proximity mines suck

[jade acorn]

I just want to be done with the game 😂 whats this method?

[idle kelp]

#1316092867470688357 message

Apparently this works?

[tough quail]

dang

[jade acorn]

ok thank you

I think ill try to just do the rogue and stitch parts again fingers crossed but if its still not working I will try this

[idle kelp]

Of course, as FAQs warn, using debug to set tasks can break things too, but fuck it I can imagine the frustration, it's worth the gamble

[jade acorn]

I mean its just a badge at this point but I guess I would rather be an actual invictus completionist rather than an honorary invictus completionist

without suffering through invictus all over again

anyway thanks for the advice

[idle kelp]

I'm trying to get invictus too

It's been a long, long road and I'm still struggling so much

[jade acorn]

honestly what changed it for me was just getting the full artifact setup. Compass + full empty + empty and a 94% pseudogiant pelt

I never got an exo repaired but I would just shoot up morphine constantly to stay at 90% bullet resistance and basically the only things that can ever scratch you are lapua guns, 7.62x51, the ash 12, and explosives

so it becomes weirdly boring as even though there are things that can kill you, most enemies cannot, and avoiding getting shot is super demphasized compared to the rest of the game

it feels kind of necessary though cause the later portions of the main questlines will just have you grind through like 100 guys

in tight ass corridors or in horrible terrain with shitty cover and visibility

[grave pivot]

I want to ask. Ive just repaired the parts on my TOZ-66. The only thing left needed to be maintained is the barrel and the extractor. They used to be repairable from just the repair kit iirc. What must i do to repair them?

[jade acorn]

if you have the appropriate repair kit you just right click the gun, maintain parts, and left click the part you want to replace

for parts at/above 60% condition you can use a cleaning kit

below 60% you will need to use the repair kit that corresponds to its weapon type

[grave pivot]

I did use a type b repair kit, but it seems that the "maintain barrel" and "maintain extractor" did not pop up..

[jade acorn]

screenshots?

[clever canyon]

Close and re-open your inventory, might be a UI bug.

[celest sparrow]

[grave pivot]

Ill see

[clever canyon]

And they already are at 100%

[clever canyon]

[grave pivot]

Ohh shit, thats why

Cant repair parts below 25%

[celest sparrow]

?

[idle kelp]

The hardest part is the early game when I've a whole 9% ballistic res

[celest sparrow]

You can't repair parts below 60%

Repair Kits just replace the part inside the gun

[grave pivot]

I have a type b repair kit

[grave pivot]

I meanr, repairing the part itself, not replacing it

[celest sparrow]

You can't repair it

even with a repair kit

[grave pivot]

Thats fine. I can just get better parts off another stalker

[celest sparrow]

just replace it

it's cheap

[grave pivot]

Fair

[jade acorn]

yeah it just gets a lot easier once you can get your artifacts setup

I used to play the game basically ignoring artifacts and using scat-9 armor, I dont really know why

I thought like "oh it will stay exciting cause enemies are still dangerous"

but when its you vs all you can eat monolith

im gonna want my compass I guess

even though it makes me sleepy

[idle kelp]

I once had a run that was super lucky and I had an Empty, Meat Chunk, Wrenched, Pseudo hide setup before BS

[grave pivot]

Im fairing pretty fine ngl. Despite being the irl equivalent of an advanced or Expert stalker having a sudden amnesia or smth

[idle kelp]

But then I got shot with 9x39 through a bush by a random wandering sinner in Zaton

Despite being in the hardest diff, i feel pretty good

[jade acorn]

do you abuse the guide quests for free companions

it makes things a lot easier

[grave pivot]

Did you hear it coming?

[clever canyon]

!screen // FYI

[dawn marten]

@grave pivot
1) While in game, press F12, go inside Anomaly\appdata\screenshots. If the screenshot isn't there, look in your GAMMA RC3 folder, inside a folder called overwrite
2) Press PRTSC (Print Screen on your keyboard) open Paint, CTRL + V to paste the pic, save it, send it.
Alternatively press ALT+PRTSC to screenshot the currently focused window, then CTRL+V to paste.
3) Windows key + Shift + S, which lets you choose what part of the screen you want to take, it will directly copy the pic for you so all you'll have to do is just CTRL + V in the chat.

[grave pivot]

Ohhhh, thanks

[idle kelp]

If I was at my PC I could send a clip

It was very, very quick

[grave pivot]

They usually make a sound when they gt aggro'd

[grave pivot]

Ah, it must have snuck up on you

[idle kelp]

Outta nowhere, a couple of shots and I'm put down

[grave pivot]

Tough luck ig

[grave pivot]

I prefer going solo. It adds up to the scare factor of the game

[idle kelp]

Well, I do, I'm no paragon

[jade acorn]

sometimes it will just happen like that, you get knowledge checked a lot for not knowing spawns etc, and sometimes enemies will just be in places you dont expect them

[idle kelp]

Their ass is NOT getting to darkscape

[jade acorn]

same

[grave pivot]

And forces you to keep your eyes and ears on a swivel

[grave pivot]

Darkscape suuuuucks

I remember the most out of darkscape. It being just a long stretch of forest, and a few campfires here and there

[jade acorn]

its pretty bad

I actually like a lot of the setpiece locations in darkscape

but its way too big and can actually be kinda dangerous in earlygame

[idle kelp]

There is essentially no reason to ever go there unless you're desperate for basic tools

[jade acorn]

depending on how many cats are hiding in the bushes

[idle kelp]

And there's a gold stash

You can't force close quarters combat and you probably don't have a rifle and scope to keep stalkers at bay, controllers wander the forest, it takes AGES to get through it

[grave pivot]

The cars there are helpful, but the anomalies make them useless, and running over mutants or enemies will prob cause you to glitch out

[tough quail]

does donating things to trader do anything other than getting rid of the items permanently?

[celest sparrow]

No

Which shotgun ammo is better for mutant killing?

[lavish delta]

The one you kill?

[sudden forge]

Yes, they run towards him and move away when I approach, but when there are many corpses there's nothing I can do :/ they loot them or worse, they steal the corpse that has Sidorovich's package, ruining the mission

[celest sparrow]

[distant elk]

did you add it yourself or is it already in?

[celest sparrow]

it's separate

[lethal patrol]

separate mod, find it in moddb

oooh okay

i think they added that in before i think

[celest sparrow]

nah

it was considered, still waiting for that 3.0 release

[distant elk]

oh

when it is coming out and have they said whats going to be added?

[celest sparrow]

no idea and

probably known on their discord if they have one

[formal mountain]

Buckshot

[wide fable]

Even better for killing mutants: Anything that's full auto,and spews hollow points.

Good candidates are machine pistols in 9*19mm,or SMGs in .45 ACP.

I love my aks 'tactician'

[tough quail]

can some base be cleared permanently? like bandit base in darkscape or the sinner cave in red forest?

@hard crown
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.

[wide fable]

Short version: The dangerous places.

Note to self: Clean up all stashes. I'm pretty sure me leaving heaps of unlooted stashes in the South is interfering with stash spawning in the North.

[hard crown]

what areas does the miracle machine unlock? what about the brain scorcher?

[hard crown]

yeah i got like 2 milion white stashes and about 5 yellow i the south

[wide fable]

Miracle Machine unlocks the Radar.
Both the Miracle Machine and the Brain Scorcher need to go down to proceed beyond the Radar. Even the Red Forest is a no-go until both are down.

[hard crown]

i m fairly geared i need expert tools now. i can do confidently miracle machine, never done bs. i got 2 lifes left

[hard crown]

ok got it

[wide fable]

Bring meds,especially morphine. And a pile of AP ammo.

The Brain Scorcher will interfere with flashlights and headlamps. Use nightvision. It's also very tight quarters,so don't bother aiming.

Also,fill up your belt.

[hard crown]

i got m4 defender and sv 98, is that enough in terms of guns? for bs?

[wide fable]

Should be,so long as you bring a big pile of AP ammo.

[hard crown]

how much 400 riounds of 556x45 or about 700?

[wide fable]

You have ten minutes to fight through the Brain Scorcher and turn it off,starting the moment you enter the underground map.

[hard crown]

yeah i saw a video, its pretty brutal

[wide fable]

Less brutal if you go in prepared.

[hard crown]

i got an rpg, should i bring it? hwo many warheads ?

[wide fable]

Morphine and a belt of defensive artefacts go a very long way.

DO NOT.

You're fucking indoors!

You'll just blow yourself up!

[hard crown]

i dont use artefacts. "only semirealistic items"

[woven hollow]

pile bodies on bodies!!!

[wide fable]

So... the thing that gives STALKER a major part of its identity.

[hard crown]

rn i m runnign pelt. lvl 3 plates and titanium grid

[hard crown]

i know i know i just dont like it personally. having artifacts on the belt.

i ve heard it is doable with no artifacts

[wide fable]

You're crippling yourself tremendously by insisting on nonsense. Just so you're aware.

[hard crown]

so i figured i would try and try again until i make it

[hard crown]

i know i know

[wide fable]

The Brain Scorcher's interior is tight quarters. Don't bring your RPG. Don't bother aiming. Spray and pray.

[hard crown]

i mean i still got 2 lifes left. and 5day life granter

it should be doable if i m carefull

[tough quail]

Artifacts arent real thats why my starting out loner has plate, psy dog fur and volat emerald

[wide fable]

The rock lickers like to hide around corners,too. Be ready to fire at a moment's notice. They're not exactly subtle,so you should know when you're approaching a corner camper.

[hard crown]

damn ok

what about graneds. do i bring a lot fo them or bad idea?

[tough quail]

I kinda just looted nades off their bodies and use them at the next corner

Got rid of 2 exo guys that way

[hard crown]

hoenslty i think i used only 1 granade in the whole ppaythorugh. i m really scared of missing the throw and kms

[wide fable]

Grenades don't really bounce or roll like they do in other games. They have their uses,but when clearing the Brain Scorcher,in my experience at least,constant forward movement is king. Just advance and clear.

[hard crown]

okok tnx

[wide fable]

If you can get a thermal scope for a gun,it can be useful in an early room there there's a few guys on the other side.

Basically the only time in the entire Brain Scorcher where stopping and aiming is advantageous.

[hard crown]

i also have ks23 with barrakuda. is that any good for brain scorcher?

[wide fable]

Only if you can reliably dome them.

[hard crown]

dome ?

[wide fable]

Headshot.

And even then,don't expect it to kill an exoskeleton or Nosorog wearing guy.

[hard crown]

alright. i ll just stick to the m4 then

[wide fable]

I went in with an AKMS.

[hard crown]

never been to red forest or radar or any of the other northerm maps. will be very interesting.

Nope. C.

[hard crown]

i onyl have expert tools

i ll consider it if i find one

[wide fable]

Kicks like a mule,but uses good and available ammo.

[hard crown]

i dont midn kick, i have great recoil control

[warm verge]

if you arent in a nato faction then you dont get the ability to get 5.56

[hard crown]

my favorite weapon is the ash 12

hvent found it yet

[warm verge]

the ash12 is d tier

[hard crown]

i m loner and yes you do

i got about 700 fmj rounds

[wide fable]

Clear Sky and Freedom can supply a Loner with NATO ammo.

[graceful quiver]

Do they spawn endlessly or something?

[hard crown]

also vodka

also gunsmithign tools

[wide fable]

They don't. It's just a target rich environment and you're on a ten minute timer.

you can supply yourself with nato ammo pretty well as loner

[wheat leaf]

The last push on the bottom floor through NINE monolith is pretty brutal. When I finished it last, I had about 27 seconds left when I managed to disable it.

This is one of the very few places where I'd actually say that investing in an AK with a UBGL is useful to just spam 'nades into the rooms over and over.

[haughty stone]

I love it when the game crashes and I have to wait for it to load back up

[hasty sun]

Man Duty is being very nice, i'm like 7 hit jobs for Freedom in and they're still chill with me

[rose musk]

sometimes it's nice tho cause it gives you time to think

and thinking is rad

[rose musk]

UBGL enjoyers stay winning

[wheat leaf]

If you're Loner (and did work for Duty) you've likely got more than enough positive rep with them that killing just a handful of them doesn't put you low enough to be aggressive (outside of whatever squad the person you killed was in).

[haughty stone]

think about what?

[rose musk]

everything

[wheat leaf]

Thinking sucks, I do it as little as possible.

It usually just ends with me being sad, or having a headache.

[hasty sun]

I'm clear sky and never did anything for them
i'm at like -700 rep right now

[rose musk]

alot of times when I crash I completely change my game plan for what I was doing

[wheat leaf]

I don't remember the exact values but I think they need to be at -1000 to be openly hostile? Someone else will probably correct me.

[rose musk]

mostly in terms of taking the area I was about to enter alot slower than I was going to

[haughty stone]

ok mr Megabrain

[rose musk]

https://tenor.com/view/big-brain-lateralus-parabol-third-eye-tool-gif-16499016

[wheat leaf]

Also the stuff that you went through previously probably won't play out the same way. A-Life tends to reroll what squads have as their 'goal' if you load a save again.

It's why YACS is very nice to have as a thing because if you just F5F9 over and over in-combat, enemies will frequently forget you existed.

Lean a corner, snipe a dude, save, load, everyone just forgets he ever existed. Repeat.

[vital nova]

What are they planning

[wheat leaf]

It's group masturbation time.

[hasty sun]

Reliving their last vacation to India

[atomic pebble]

they are fixing the toilet

[hasty sun]

Been running in circles for 10 mins because i didn't know the mutant clearing missions could target poltergeists

Always condiered those anomalies for some reason

[wheat leaf]

Nope, Polters (and Pyros) are actual mutants. They just don't have visible physical bodies in GAMMA because of a mod that just makes them gib instead.

In base stalker they're legless torsos with funky looking heads that drop to the ground when you kill them.

Stalker 2 brought them back I see.

The design is basically exactly the same.

But they don't have nipples in 2.

[hasty sun]

I think i have a very old memory of me dumping like 100 shots on the one in a lab in SoC

[wheat leaf]

Oh yeah, their hitbox is kinda funky until you understand they're actually floating.

You wanna aim juuust above the center of their little electric ball.

And SHoC's habit of making your guns fire their bullets like shotgun pellets one at a time doesn't help.

[hasty sun]

Anyhow 45acp is once again the great equalizer

[wheat leaf]

.45 is very good in GAMMA. Arguably the best ammo to use in a fresh save. Not terribly rare, can make a ton of it once you find a gunsmithing kit, and has good enough stopping power to be used for both mutants and bandits for a good while. Plus the Thompson is solid, provided you can fork over the points to get that instead of something else.

I will say though that the PPSh and the 20g TOZ have both made impressions on me for their own reasons.

20g literally feels better than 12g, and I think momo once said it has tighter spread? I dunno.

My memory is like a sieve these days.

Anyway, enough procrastinating from me. I am off to do stuff in VR.

[vital nova]

Nipple censorship

[hasty sun]

Oh shit
Maybe the thompson can rest

Just done the monolith barrier even so now i'm drugged out of my mind carrying 200 pounds of guns back to my stash 🥲

[wide fable]

Some manner of MP5 that takes .45 ACP?

[wheat leaf]

It's a UMP45.

[hasty sun]

It's 45ACP but only a 25 magazine 🤔

[wheat leaf]

MIGHT have an extended mag upgrade? Uncertain. I know if you use Mags Redux, there is a 40 round magazine for it.

[hasty sun]

Got mags redux so i'll check the vendor
I hope it does else i don't think it's better than a drum mag thompson even with optics and such

[sick yoke]

thompson has lower damage 👍

[wide fable]

Doesn't the overwhelming majority of a gun's damage and penetration come from the ammo it runs?

[hasty sun]

Maybe but if i have 4 fuckers running towards me i'd rather have twice the ammo than slighty higher damage

[wheat leaf]

I thought that the listed damage on the weapons didn't matter, since with GBOOBS it's handled purely by the round.

Gun just dictates physics like drop and the accuracy.

[hasty sun]

I thought so too

Oh nvm ump magazines are considered small i have more than enough space for those

Now how ump mags are small but p90 mags are medium i won't ask

[wheat leaf]

UMP45 magazines are like, maybe 9-ish inches long? P90 magazines are more like a foot long, and wider.

They also have an awkward circular protrusion near the base that is where the bullets actually enter the gun.

[sick yoke]

no

gun has base damage (hidden by default in gamma) and ammo has a damage multiplier (also hidden by default in gamma)

the only thing ammo does by itself is pen and even then not anymore now that bolt actions get +5 pen lol

[wide fable]

Hmm. I think I found the main menu.

[wheat leaf]

Always tickled me that (I am fairly certain at least) the shot you see in the main menu is an actual live feed, and sometimes you can see artifacts chillin' there, but that doesn't mean they'll be there in your save, it's just an instanced thing.

[woven hollow]

a few dead bandits later

[wide fable]

I love how you can just punt Tsuchankos without any Balls equipped.

[wheat leaf]

-# REALLY hope I'm not mixing wires with one of the many, many main menus that Ovblivion Lost used to have waaaaaay back in the day lmao.

[wide fable]

GAMMA's main menu used to be a shot of the tunnel I sent a screenshot of. Now it appears to be some C-Con pods.

[woven hollow]

but i did a switch to mercs through freedom

[wheat leaf]

A year and a half or so ago I had a save on 0.9.1 that I had put something like 220 hours into. Dude was awake for the last like 3 in-game months on coffee and chimera steak and still somehow wasn't number 1 in the zone

[woven hollow]

[hasty sun]

Need to choose my flavor of 5.56
Purely by vibes i'd go SIG cause it's longer

[wheat leaf]

TBH the SIG is probably the best out of those anyway but that being said, I prefer 9x39 > 5.56 for my runs.

How convenient that your SIG even has a green barrel.

[hasty sun]

I'm a Vintar fan too but i'm going NATO guns only this run

[wheat leaf]

If you can get the special marksman variant of the SIG (Spear, I think?) that thing is an absolute monster.

It's locked to single fire but just click more 4head

[hasty sun]

I can't remember the last time i put my gun in full auto

If i'm close enough for FA to be better i probably got domed by novice bandit with a makarov already anyway

[wheat leaf]

I don't even use the funny 2 round hyperburst on the Abakan. Single-fire is a way of life for me.

[wide fable]

I never once used a 9*39 weapon. What sauce do they bring?

[wheat leaf]

Very good stats, integrated suppressors on the Vintorez and Val, and wood furniture.

[wide fable]

Hmm.

[wheat leaf]

You do gotta get a little bit used to the drop on the round if you're firing at longer distances compared to others, but it's really not significant at any range you'll realistically be engaging at.

[wide fable]

cracks open the gunsmith kit to check the penetration

[hasty sun]

Vintorez/Val also the highest possible drip

[woven hollow]

[wide fable]

Oof... looks like it won't do jack to Exos and Nosos.

[wheat leaf]

I used the Vintorez from the moment I had one with a functioning barrel, all the way up until I got my expert tools in Jupiter and swapped to my SR-25.

It will, just takes like, 2-4 headshots to take one down if you're not using AP rounds.

And even with AP it'll be like 2 maybe 3 depending.

[hasty sun]

Recoil is also nonexistant

[woven hollow]

also switched over to 7.62x39

[wide fable]

Oh joy. Muties,rock lickers,and now professional military trespassers.

[wheat leaf]

Also that yeah, so long as you ain't full auto the thing is basically a laser beam.

7.62x39 is fine but the performance increase in raw damage doesn't really outdo the lack of meaningful pen it feels like it has, as well as how much heavier it is, compared to 5.56/9x39.

I will say that the Tactical SKS is sexy af tho.

I use something very similar as my primary in Into The Radius 2, shit slaps.

[hasty sun]

Oh that's a sexy ACOG
No clutter in the way

[woven hollow]

it also has a bit of extra pen compared to 5.45/5.56 so it's a nice change of pace

and also

ak-104 alpha

[wheat leaf]

For a little while I had a thermal 4x scope that was neat, if not taking a bit of time to adjust to the lack of detail sometimes making heads harder to find. Not compatible with my SR tho.

[hasty sun]

Best i can get with this vendor for now he's not maxed out
And i'm not walking down to CS base just for an optic

[wheat leaf]

mono defense moment

[wide fable]

A Pseudogiant,three Controllers,two Chimeras,and two Psysuckers,all in the same general spot. *Christ,*the Group wants me dead.

Let's just add a Karlik to that list,now...

[hasty sun]

mmmmh....

[wide fable]

And Chimera number three,sweet fuck.

Yeah,I'm getting the impression!

[woven hollow]

outskirts?

[wide fable]

Outskirts.

[woven hollow]

classic

[storm dirge]

SR-25 (the goat)

[formal mountain]

That is NOT an sr25.

[cursive sparrow]

ah, i have just learned that crate loot gets rerolled every load

[storm dirge]

mmmh

you sure?

[woven hollow]

[cursive sparrow]

guess who found a milstim last time and now has to walk back 3 zones to home on 15% hp?

[storm dirge]

Well it's not complicated to verify, there's a way to access the hidden inventory of NPC

[formal mountain]

Sg-550-1

[wide fable]

Pretty sure I just heard another Pseudogiant nearby. And gunfire. So it's not throwing down with Sinners.

[formal mountain]

Pic with same buttstock

Or at least that looks literally the same

[wide fable]

The Group really wants me to burn all of my .45 Hydra before even reaching the Palace of Culture...

[storm dirge]

You're right, my bad @wide fable

[formal mountain]

Np, just threw a wild guess on google and nailed it first try

[wide fable]

For a moment,I thought you had a PKM with a grenade launcher.

Then I realised it was a suppressor.

[hasty sun]

Yo i'm supposed to go back to the first lab and clear the muties but i can't even get to them before the shitty ass psy ghosts kill me

[formal mountain]

Pills, artifacts, shot at the ghosts

[storm dirge]

Yes some suppressors are misplaced, I imagine it's a weird looking bayonet

[formal mountain]

Throw a grenade down the ladder if you feel frisky

[wide fable]

Not a word of a lie,one time I tried that resulted in a Burer sending it back.

[formal mountain]

Burer at miracle machine?

[wide fable]

There's a fucking hallway full of them in there.

[formal mountain]

I don't think there's any at the entrance

Maybe i misremember

[formal mountain]

But funny as fuck

[atomic pebble]

Size of Pripyat Living Zone compared to Zaton, Jupiter and Pripyat from CoP:

[wide fable]

I legit had a Marvin the Martian moment.

"Where's the kaboom?"

Oh,nope,it wasn't a Pseudogiant I heard. It was Chimera number four,baby!

What the fuck are my mutant spawn settings?

Only marginally higher than default.

Woe betide anyone who maximises that slider.

[hasty sun]

Did they make pelts way easier to get or am i getting crazy luck?

[wide fable]

They feel easier to get,attenuated by your Scavenger (Or is it Survival?) skill.

Knife tier also determines pelt quality.

[random grail]

Hides are 3 or 4x more common since 0.93

[wide fable]

Good source of dosh once you find a pelt you wanna stick with.

[hasty sun]

Yeah i've killed two controllers in my game and both of them gave me a pelt

[wide fable]

I got me a 99% Chimera Hide relatively early on,and it never left my belt.

[woven hollow]

i'm switching between 98% chimera and 92% pseudogiant hides

chimera one just for long range hauls

[hasty sun]

Oh so the Semenov Research Hunt mission is just bugged as hell
Wish i knew that before taking it now i'm gonna have to take the reputation loss :/

[woven hollow]

wait, what?

it usually works

he's just a companion with you

until you kill a few mutants

[hasty sun]

Well i'm more than a dozen kills in and he doesn't seem to care

Snorks, blooduckers, controller, etc

[woven hollow]

then drag him around with you

free companion is always nice

[hasty sun]

And other people here are saying it's bugged

Well now he refuses to run

So he's slow walking 200ft behind me

[crisp turret]

https://tenor.com/view/i'm-tired-boss-gif-15443003937623411884

download task manager and just complete his task but you gonna have him as companion all the time

[woven hollow]

check if you've pressed anything in the companion management menu

C by default

[hasty sun]

Nope checked everything

Happened right after changing zone so i'm assuming it's bugged

[woven hollow]

idk, reload the save

or restart the game

might work

[hasty sun]

Nope and nope

He's tired

Am i going to clear the entire military base just for one yellow stash in there?

Maybe

[warped oasis]

Military disguise is fren

[hasty sun]

Don't have one of those

[woven hollow]

oh welp

he actually died when going back from AW to yantar on my save

on day 5 iirc

[wide fable]

Huh. The lab under the Pripyat Outskirts was a complete nothingburger.

A bunch of Tsuchankos to punt. Two or three Geists I shot down the moment they tried to jumpscare me.

If I recall correctly,Strelok's crew is himself,Rogue,Stitch,and yourself,yeah?

*Lawd,*the SCAR-H is awesome.

[hasty sun]

Military people not being very good at militarying

[shadow cave]

What's the mod that adds watches to armor models?

[graceful quiver]

You have to forgive them they are mostly poorly equipped and trained conscripts

[wide fable]

I hear the Gauss gun now vaporizes/gibs corpses. Is this true? If so,will Object 62 do the same to Eidolon?

[marsh bridge]

my 3rd favourite part is the random lone mercenary that rocks your shit and is never seen again

[graceful quiver]

I shall aspire to be that merc next

[marsh bridge]

random veteran merc just walks up to the car park in cordon and after he kills me i load a save to grab my kar98 to get him and hes just gone

im assuming this is hit squads maybe?

[graceful quiver]

Are hit squads high level on average?

[marsh bridge]

i have no idea

this lone merc rocking my shit has happened one other time and thats it

[graceful quiver]

Well I have also enabled mugging squads so we shall find out

[marsh bridge]

like a year or two ago as i was taking the transition from garbage to cordon he was just there at the gate and killed me then dissapeared

[hasty sun]

Scope is pretty good but i can barely see the reticle
