[blissful ivy]

and i havent played base gamma in ages either

[red granite]

You know what gun would be a game changer?

[blissful ivy]

struggling with 9x19? just make it

[marsh bridge]

woah

genius!

[blissful ivy]

disassemble 9x18

and stuff

i get lots of the shit

[red granite]

ZIP-22

It already killed a whole weapon company

[near estuary]

yeah how do you struggle with getting 9x19

[blissful ivy]

[marsh bridge]

see i dont have a proper mousepad at the moment so my mouse likes to jitter everywhere causing me to miss a small portion of my shots

[near estuary]

what is a "small portion"

[blissful ivy]

thats just because the company that made the zip 22, were successful and so when one dweeb designed the zip, he just stopped all production of anything else, to make that rinky dink piece of shit

[blissful ivy]

that might be a mouse issue

[near estuary]

I remember they made really good reproduction revolvers

[blissful ivy]

i just tested my mouse off my mousepad and it works fine

or maybe the desk material?

[marsh bridge]

its weird because the jitters only happen on anomaly/gamma

[near estuary]

(his desk is made from glass )

[blissful ivy]

so yeah that sounds like a mouse issue or something if its situational

its glass? are you joking or fr?

[marsh bridge]

ive got a spare mouse i bought ages ago ill check that one

fuck no

i play on my bed because theres not enough room to have a desk set up

[near estuary]

then it wouldn't work at all

[blissful ivy]

if it was glass then it would certainly be the mouse

[blissful ivy]

wait no those tempered glass mousepads work because the table is underneath

right

or they have a thing inside

[red granite]

I think it's desk material

During one of lectures I forgot a mouse pad and it was working like shit on plywood table

But in my dorm, on a normal desk (wooden) it was working like on a mouse pad

[blissful ivy]

also playing on your bed? thats nuts

XD

i mean no room means no room ig

but still cant believe it

plywood table?

[red granite]

Yep

You heard that

[blissful ivy]

nice desk bro

[rose musk]

kinda based

[red granite]

This shit

[blissful ivy]

what the fuck is your lecture hall? thats so goofy and cheap looking

[red granite]

The college I'm attending has almost 200 years, but still can't afford a normal table

[marsh bridge]

next you're gonna tell me it got replaced with the wood used from a pallet due to budget cuts

[blissful ivy]

thats what i thought he meant

just like, the cheap construction plywood

or pallet wood

which isnt actually that bad

if you sand it

but if you just nail that together its terrible

[near estuary]

they probably can, it's just that most of the budget gets blown on professor conferences

[red granite]

Warsaw School of Life Sciences is... A pretty interesting one

Basically it's a college, but its design resembles a hospital - in the cause of war, rooms and classrooms can be easily adapted to medical operations

Wide elevators, spacious and glass-walled rooms

Not mentioning on the ground floor works a bigass cafeteria and 2 spacious rooms that can work as operation halls

Idk, I'm just a forestry student, not a goddamn engineer

[red granite]

Most likely

[digital ermine]

Why would glass walls be suited in case of war? Wouldnt it causes issues in both structural integrity and lack of cover?

[red granite]

IDK

[digital ermine]

A single shockwave from a bomb would shatter glass 👀

[red granite]

I think they're would be just a patients room, I guess?

[digital ermine]

The tradeoff doesnt make sense

At worst youre leaving behind liabilities if you use solid concrete

[red granite]

I have no idea why it's designed like that

And I'm not gonna think about it

Not my problem for now

What architects had on mind - no idea

Propably because the college was build during the communism era in Poland, that why

[analog palm]

Those desks are pretty nice as long as materials aren't bottom of the barrel

Cheap enough, and simple construction makes them easy to modify

[red granite]

Let's say

Good enough, but could be better

[marsh bridge]

random lone expert military at garbage now im back down to 1 ironman life

[short plume]

what was that mod that added more ammo types? the one that lets you craft with artifacts, just updated and trying to find it, iirc youve gotta disable another mod too

[marsh bridge]

artigrok ballistics

[short plume]

cheers

[marsh bridge]

im using it rn and the 357 FMJ rounds it adds are nutty

40 BR pen

[short plume]

yeah, last time i played i wanted it for the 20g slugs, so i could use the little shottys on stalkers wearing anything thicker than a t-shirt

[marsh bridge]

i should fix up the lever action and use it as a DMR once i get the scope for it

[rose musk]

idk why the snipers at the market just saw me and beamed me from this far

holy

hit me with the bullet of infinite bleeding

[valid crater]

The one on watch there always spots you. 🤡

Just hope he got a small caliber, and not a Winchester or SKS from time to time.

[rose musk]

was so far away I didn't even hear the bullet, just took 75% of my dmg the bandage almost didn't stop the bleeding in time

[valid crater]

Sounds like a Winchester hit you.

[tough quail]

who should i kill to get my hand on a raptr

[rose musk]

my only stimpack was deleted instantly

[cursive bone]

hey guys what mod do i turn off again to loot dead stalkers that are not killed by me?

[rose musk]

but it prolly don't matter, gonna die from thirst here pretty soon

[tough quail]

the 2nd row iirc

[cursive bone]

why does double zooming and shooting for me wont work? like RMB and the small upper button on the left side of your mouse

[marsh bridge]

oh yea i dmed grok one time

[mental furnace]

[marsh bridge]

that was when he wanted to add the galil to gamma

could of sworn i dmed him talking about how to rework SIN armors too though thats not in dms

[blissful ivy]

#1065168136577482753 add this mod too

makes the winchester amazing

[marsh bridge]

[blissful ivy]

i mean it adds .357 FMJ

which is really cool

but its not the best balance, 42 penetration

its a good thing the .357 guns arent automatic

and are mostly pistols, but the winchester is really good

i mean, 1 ltx edit and i can have a .357 vector

just saying

[mental furnace]

[thick sedge]

0.9.6 next week?

[blissful ivy]

how would i know

i dont read above, i just saw we were talking about the lord and savior, the winchester

[grave pivot]

Sixth day, What do ya'll think of my Loadout?

[thick sedge]

where's your full auto

[grave pivot]

i... im trying to figure that out

[rose musk]

absolute freak of a player

is what i'm seeing

misers skull is based tho

[grave pivot]

what?

[rose musk]

I see those doritos

[grave pivot]

I ate it once while juking mutants

[rose musk]

absolute creature

[grave pivot]

breaking ankles like its the NBA

[mental furnace]

[valid crater]

These are some cheaty items there ... like these above 50% repair/sewing kits.

[grave pivot]

Might be Sigmund, but i got no idea how to use them

[mental furnace]

who cares lmao

single player game

[grave pivot]

I have no idea what that is. My character has prob eaten nothing but meat

[mental furnace]

the most sweetist shit u can imagine

[grave pivot]

He has never eaten a single veggie ever since he got in the zone 🔥

[mental furnace]

idk how to translate it right to english but its can of boiled condensed milk with sugar

[grave pivot]

Ah, diabetes in a can

[mental furnace]

[grave solar]

[solid jungle]

I really don't understand the somewhat popularity of the Galil in games. I've shot one IRL and it sucks lol

[rose musk]

it's just been around in most of the popular fps games

if I had to guess it's name recognition

[solid jungle]

Well the early versions, at least, suck. It's such a weird gun too, like a bastard AK that shoots 5.56

[marsh bridge]

oh yea

random dead dutiers for the win

also whatever the fuck this is

you see that mission marker? you see how it looks brighter than the usual mission markers? thats because 3 people put a bounty on the same fucking bandit

[tough quail]

got that some times

[marsh bridge]

its always been from duty too

like they despise certain people

[tough quail]

i had the bartender, sid and duty all wanted that one single bandit DEAD

its always in the garbage too for some reason

kinda funny

usually on the west side of the train hangar

[mental furnace]

toss it into trash bin

[marsh bridge]

short stroke? that looks rather long to me

[mental furnace]

[marsh bridge]

also another green barrel ak

but ive got the rpk now so it dosnt really matter

[blissful ivy]

does this help?

it doesnt matter the length, so much as what it does

[marsh bridge]

no

[blissful ivy]

rifles can be short stroke

i mean, the scar is short stroke

the .308 one

[marsh bridge]

im posting all of this at once because i died to a grav anomaly and my game crashed btw

oh hail the monolith

[tough quail]

i hate this one bandit on the bridge in cordon

always take potshot out of sight

[mental furnace]

u need isg nosorog and gauss to beat it fairly

[tough quail]

how many monolithians do i need to kill to get their blade

[hollow wadi]

It's a 1% drop

I got 2 in a row

Legends, Masters

[tough quail]

extreme lootbox

[mental furnace]

enough to reach 65k cap

[tough quail]

time to go to the north again

[thick sedge]

this is a render right

[hollow wadi]

Kukri is better objectively btw

[thick sedge]

right like bodycam level of detail

[hollow wadi]

I have enough money to buy a kukri for each stalker in the Zone

Probably thrice

I'm slowly going up to 2M rubles

[marsh bridge]

a moderator that actually plays gamma? wtf

oh yea

[grave pivot]

yoooo, this dude is just a living suit of armor

[near estuary]

basically every single gamma moderator is also a very experienced player of it

[marsh bridge]

i dont believe it

they just have the discord commands memorized thats it!

[stable trout]

Bro's name is German Ventilator and has a German rifle

[inner nova]

just got my first exosuit repaired, a monolith nosrog - the game just got objectively easier lol

[random grail]

Exosuit
Nosorog

[tough quail]

wow it does exist

[pliant kestrel]

Почему 53 DMG???

[proper drum]

the fact that you can get kukri less than 24h in-game time > monolith blade

[proper drum]

German (not joe-r-man) is a common east-slavic name tho

[stable trout]

Is it? Over here the nane German is only used as a surname

One of our authors here had the surname German. And I know a few people with such surname but not a first name German

[stable trout]

Ah I see now what German do you mean, like a slavic variant of Hermann

[proper drum]

Yeah, same as Fedor = Theodor etc, my name is Illia in Ukrainian that's Elijah for English speakers, variations from bible translations moment

[stable trout]

Yeah Pavel and Paul and stuff

Lol my name is Pavel irl

Well still, German ventilator with a German rifle :D

[proper drum]

yeah that's funny

[stable trout]

Yeah

[proper drum]

in any case I recommend using ANUS mod for names, makes them more cool

[stable trout]

What mod?

[proper drum]

as monolith duty mil always have rank and surname, mercs have decent adj + animal names

it's in gamma but disabled

[stable trout]

Nah Monolith does not have a rank

Do they?

[proper drum]

it's like Initiate/Preacher/Elder/Master

[stable trout]

Oh

Well even those I did not see

[proper drum]

yeah so in a new run you can try that anus mod

[stable trout]

I like the name

[stable trout]

I persume you already finished the story in this run huh?

[stable trout]

Yo what is a conflict of interest?

[proper drum]

nah I've died at outskirts because somebody has decided it will be much fun polluting north with sinners, at least now i know 1 more spot they can be at outskirts

[lethal patrol]

google it

[stable trout]

Damn that suck so much

Would low key bother me

[proper drum]

like this, who have ever seen them camping near the school at outskirts

[stable trout]

I typed in "conflict of interest stalker anomaly" and nothing related to that showed up

[proper drum]

i've seen them only at clip

like i turned around as a natural reaction and this was a mistake

[stable trout]

Damn bro got the 500 round mag

[proper drum]

they were group of 4

[stable trout]

Oh

I thought it was one

[proper drum]

looks like 1

[stable trout]

Yeah

[mental furnace]

nasos

[stable trout]

And when you turned around, it semed like one too

[proper drum]

teehee

[proper drum]

that coz loner speedrun starts with pump station assault xdd

[stable trout]

Huh?

How?

[mental furnace]

[valid crater]

Not a slavic version, it's only that the letter г/Г for G -> Герман (Herman) in russian is spoken like a G, because of the russian language got no H. While ukrainian has no G, in their language the same letter of г/Г is spoken like an H. In russian the name Harri /Harryis also spoken like Garri/Garry, hence Kasparov (the chess player), is called Garri, not Harri.

[proper drum]

in czech they have H that sounds like Ukrainian г and G that sounds like Russian G (for foreign words)

[stable trout]

Yeah, I am aware that Russian has only the voiced variant of H (meaning G)

We over here have both H and G

[proper drum]

H for native G for loaned words yeah

[stable trout]

But what I did NOT know was that German does not mean German

[stable trout]

Uhhh yeah, BUT

There is a but

[proper drum]

ofc there are some exceptions

same as I remember there's no unloaned czech words with F

[stable trout]

In a big portion of words, K is pronounced as G

[proper drum]

for nadrazi the russian word is Vokzal, k sounds like g here as well

[stable trout]

Rechnoy Vokzal mentioned XD

[stark egret]

why would clear sky be enemies with duty? loners can be allies with both freedom and duty so why cant clear sky?

ecologists are also friendly with both

[proper drum]

nadrazi means on the roads / crossroads, how you even call rechnoi vokzal in czech xdd

[stable trout]

Yeah here for example
Kdy -> pronunce as Gdy (when)

[proper drum]

mluvim cesky bratre

[stable trout]

Tak to jo

Frajer

Ty žiješ v Česku?

[proper drum]

nikdy nebyl jsem v Cesku nebo Slovensku xdd proste pracoval jsem z cechamy pred valkou a proto umim trochu

[stable trout]

Rechnoi is something woth a river right?

[proper drum]

yeah like river port

[stable trout]

Frajer

[stable trout]

Říční nádraží

[stable trout]

Kde -> Gde (where)

[proper drum]

yeah but what i meant was the deep meaning, like Nadrazi = na drahah = on the roads, but draha is a road you can walk on/ride on, so speaking of river port or a space port it sounds funny

[stable trout]

Kaštan -> Gaštan (a chestnut)

[mental furnace]

what run u doing now?

[proper drum]

i'm stuck with loner speedruns, I think all my deaths were like this more or less xdd

loner is not hard but i'm deep unlucky

[stable trout]

Well nádraží here means a station. Dráha is here the type of road... usualy a path in physics, or a type of road where are races

[mental furnace]

[stable trout]

Or a railway can be called that too :D

[proper drum]

yeah but river ways is something else, i haven't read much czech books (2 only tbh) so have no clue how you guys can call a "space station"

[stable trout]

Vesmírná stanice

Stanice is also a station but different

[proper drum]

so this will be recna stanice by this logic, at least how i feel it xdd

[stable trout]

Well either "říční stanice" or "říční nádraží"

You can say both tbh

[proper drum]

nadrazi for me is smth big, while stanice is like a bus stop

[stable trout]

Bingo

[proper drum]

but for river port/station it has other logic

that's funny linguistic thingy to consider tbh

[stable trout]

But space station would be a stanice too cuz borrowed word I feel

[stable trout]

But yeah like that

[stable trout]

River port would be "řícní přístav"

If we are talking a port for ships

[proper drum]

yeah that's sounds more like it

[stable trout]

Mhm

[stable trout]

But rechnoy can be also a name not having to do anything with an actual river

Rechnoi vokzal is a station in Moscow metro

For example

[proper drum]

yeah but this is literal station name that's devoted to the actual river port

[stable trout]

Yeah but the metro station is not conected to a river

[stable trout]

You can have more than 5 artifact slots? Wild

I got an ecologist suit with 5 and 2 on upgrades

[hollow wadi]

Yep

7 is the max now

[hard crown]

!toolkit

!tools

[dawn marten]

@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.
⠀

[dusk vessel]

wait its 7 now?

[hard crown]

So now i have to do brainscorcher with c toer weapons

....

It seems there is no way for expert tools begore that... am i wrong?

[dusk vessel]

thats not really an issue

and besides, if you find a D type with a green barrel you can still use it

can replace parts without a repair kit, just not the barrel

you arent supposed to get expert tools before brain scorcher

[hard crown]

You are right but no green barrel found as of now.

And i found plenty of d tier

[dusk vessel]

there is plenty of capable C type guns

any 5.45 or 5.56 rifle is more than enough fo brain scorcher

or 7.62 aswell

hell, you could even do it with an smg or a pistol if you dare

[hard crown]

I got an m4a1 protector

With lots of ap

[dusk vessel]

thats a very solid gun

[hard crown]

But i feel is not enough.

[dusk vessel]

but i wouldnt use ap so much

fmj is enough most of the time

[hard crown]

I iroman run though. I prefer being safe

[dusk vessel]

ahh

still the protector is a very solid rifle

[hard crown]

I got an sv 98 as long range

I was thinking switching to

Vssk

[dusk vessel]

vssk is really not that good

[dusk vessel]

if youre doing ironman a dmr might be better

[dusk vessel]

since you have more options for followup shots

[hard crown]

I wish i had one

I think all the good dmrs are d tier

[dusk vessel]

tbh

any rifle can be made a dmr

in gamma at least

just wont be as good as the top ones

[hard crown]

I guess i could make the akms a dmr...

[dusk vessel]

nah

keep the sv its a decent enough rifle

just, dont miss

[hard crown]

But the rounds deal only 45 dmg

[dusk vessel]

the dmg isnt entirely accurate anyway

statcards tend to lie a little

[hard crown]

I see

Well so vssk is not good?

Theoretically the ap round is very good

[dusk vessel]

i mean its useable

but so is a pm

[hard crown]

Br6 with73 damage

[hard crown]

Whats a pm?

[dusk vessel]

makarov

[hard crown]

Oh

[idle kelp]

The VSSK round is very slow, so you might struggle to hit accurate shots at range

[hard crown]

Ok why do you think the vssk is worse then sv98. Please help me understand

[dusk vessel]

brain scorcher has 3 phases basically

long range on the long road

[idle kelp]

12.7 is a fat subsonic round that travels at a leisurely pace

[dusk vessel]

mid range on their base

and then inside cqb

the guns you have already, m4a1 and sv98 are good choices

[hard crown]

I see

[dusk vessel]

and generally ap ammo is a bit of a waste of money

most enemies will go down on the same amnout of shots as with fmj

[hard crown]

I dont care about money. I just dont want to die ahhaah

[dusk vessel]

invest in meds then lol

the rebirth get those

[hard crown]

Ok. What about armor i definetly need heavy right?

[dusk vessel]

sure

[idle kelp]

AP rounds are incredibly useful especially up north

[dusk vessel]

in brain scorcher there is no exo guys anymore i think

they changed it

just regular mono armours with 30 br or less

[idle kelp]

Yeah for BS it's not necessary, though still a good safety measure in ironman

Because unlocking the north will immediately make up all that lost money

[dusk vessel]

id rather have more fmj rounds in total than ap

[hard crown]

Yeah i ll bring all ap for safety. U never know

I ve died in stupid ways. I got only 2 lifes left

[dusk vessel]

and bring some hp. there is mutants on the road to brain scorcher sometimes

chimera, pseudogiants

[idle kelp]

BS is, I'd argue, the second hardest part of ironman. The worst is the early game as you die to anything, and BS for the many obvious reasons

[hard crown]

I never fought double kimera also i dont really have a tactic agaisnt pseudogiants besides spraying them before they reach me.

I m very scared

[idle kelp]

Bring a friend

Having companions draw away mutants while you light them up is the safest way to fight chimeras and the like

[dusk vessel]

try getting up your ballistic resistance and your radiation resistance

[idle kelp]

You can jump right as the pseudo slams the ground to avoid all damage, but it's pretty tricky timing

[dusk vessel]

radar has some heavy patches of radiation

[idle kelp]

Cystamine is super useful for radar indeed

[dusk vessel]

getting morphine is a good idea

make sure youre always on all sorts of drugs

[idle kelp]

To be fair you should always have morphine on you

[dusk vessel]

adrenalin, morphine mostly

[idle kelp]

That's just a necessary buff to survive a lot of dangerous gunfights

[dusk vessel]

and get stimpaks on your f1 hotkey

dont be afraid to spam them

youill be fine, m4a1 is a fine gun

bring cleaning kits and keep it clean between fights dont want it jamming on the wrong timing

im gonna do brain scorcher myself soon as renegade gonna be intresting

had to disguise my way into yantar to buy the calibrated helmet

[idle kelp]

Cleared BS once with a filthy Veresk, nerve wracking when it jams as you peek a bastard equipped with 7.62x51

[dusk vessel]

i did it once with an SR1M pistol and a redline jacket

[idle kelp]

Insane

[dusk vessel]

you can do it with any weaponary ngl

just a matter of skill and some luck

not ironman though

i died more than once xd

[idle kelp]

With infinite retries you will always eventually succeed

It's just a matter of time and patience

[dusk vessel]

it took about 4 deaths i think

i had campfires with me so i could put checkpoints

but didnt end up needing them that much

[idle kelp]

I really gotta do a normal non ironman run again just to chill out a bit, maybe do a challenge

[dusk vessel]

i rarely play ironman

[idle kelp]

Don't know what challenge would be as fun though

[dusk vessel]

if i want to sweat a game i play cs2

i play gamma just to have a bit of fun

[hard crown]

I play gamma only ironman lul

[formal mountain]

as far as i remember it's the average damage of all ammo types but yeah that stat is kinda BS until it has rounds loaded in, maybe

motherfucker had 3 hearts

[frozen bolt]

now break all three by turning down their advances with an "ew"

[formal mountain]

heartbroken by .45

sad death: no blood, no bitches and quite possibly no hearts left

[dusk vessel]

the way it works in gamma, is that every gun has its base damage

and then every ammo has its damage multiplier and pen

thats how hollowpoints get their damage

so and avarage 5.45 rifle has a base damage of 50 and an ammo multiplier of x.1.14

the ingame damage stat on guns is a 2/3 of its actual value often

[formal mountain]

oooo i see

[dusk vessel]

SVD has a base damage of 110 but an ammo multiplier of 0.85

thats why on the svds when you 5.56 swap it it does more damage, because the base damage stays the same but the ammo multiplier is now higher

5.56 has x.1.05 so less than 5.45

[formal mountain]

that's weird

[dusk vessel]

it is but its how it works

hollowpoints usually have around 1.30 to 1.70 multipliers

thats why when you 7.62x54 swap an SKS it does less damage than before

[lethal steeple]

[flint current]

heres a petition: give one of the preset bandits (for example, one of those in agroprom underground) a toz-194

ive killed like 200 bandits and other stalkers, not one toz-194 drop...

[celest sparrow]

Bandits don't drop the TOZ194

focus on Renegades or Mercenaries

[flint current]

bandits absolutely drop toz194

[celest sparrow]

they do not

[flint current]

pretty much every other run ive had a lot of toz194 drops from bandits

[celest sparrow]

why would I be telling you so

[flint current]

i dunno dude

never seen a merc with one

[celest sparrow]

Yeah, you can be unlucky

[flint current]

either way, terrible luck with toz194 drops this run

bandits absolutely do drop toz194, though, unless its been changed in like the last update

usually get it by doing the cordon clean up mission

Welcome to Outskirts.

[river rover]

I wonder if there is anything new gameplay wised added

Might have to do another GAMMA run

[river rover]

Wait

[fair remnant]

For some reason I cant take the scope off of my aks-74u anymore?

Like the option is no longer there

[coarse lagoon]

Hella blood

[drifting trench]

where can I find mod guides in this server? Or aren't there any?

because I want to add Ato 5

but, when I add it it gives me problems with the look of the game. It's bad quality, so i would like to know which mods in gamma are not good together with it

and, is it possible to have the Bas gun mod in gamma? so, for me it bugged my scopes, so is there also a guide for it?

[drifting trench]

alr

[steep elm]

And there's also a modded gamma channel you can ask peeps for help in as well:

as for ATO 5, you should be able to just add it in and play without disabling anything. Just make sure you delete your shader cache folder in your Anomaly ---> appdata folder (it gets recreated afterwards once you launch Gamma again)

Just be sure to put ATO 5 in higher priority than SSS, Enhanced Shaders, and Ayden's grass tweaks iirc (so below those mods)

[fickle sleet]

Holy crap, first time playing in a long time. I attacked the merc checkpoint for the first time in this playthrough and I must have stacked a bunch of tasks there or something. Had 11 merc chase me all the way to Radar entrance. I just leap frogged the whole way, almost died a few times

[steep elm]

Some solid ass loot for still being a rookie

[marsh bridge]

here mine for right now (day ?)

[fair remnant]

Should I use the sunrise exosuit?

Or just stick with my duty PSZ-9KL

[marsh bridge]

i just need the merc seva suit and my life is complete

[tranquil apex]

I want to hide everything. Hud is mostly gone but when I drink smt, the effects are still shown on the down left panel. How to hide it too?

[marsh bridge]

i just lost my last ironman life nvm

[steep elm]

F

[marsh bridge]

thought i could go up against a merc with my RPK nope

very dumb clip ill post it shortly

[steep elm]

Look up a mod called SIBU (Somewhat Immersive BHS UI) - iirc the thread for it is in the Anomaly discord server - and in the MCM settings there's an option to hide your status effects as well other than just hiding BHS.

[tranquil apex]

Thanks I have found it in mo2. It is "status icons always shown". I unchecked it.

[steep elm]

Ah gotcha

[marsh bridge]

anyway ive downloaded a shorter lifegranter time mod

[haughty stone]

Olivius has accidentally been consumed

[celest sparrow]

can you send a log

probably might be helpful to find out what is causing this

[haughty stone]

erm

where is the log?

[celest sparrow]

!crashlog

[dawn marten]

@haughty stone, send the log to the chat where you were asked for it.
Open your Anomaly/appdata/logs folder and send your xray_[username] text file (.log) here. (image for reference below)
Note: log file is overwritten on each game launch, send it right after the crash ⠀

[celest sparrow]

probably want to save and quit so you can send it

aight time to save this

[haughty stone]

day 4 no ash 12

[thick sedge]

[rose musk]

don't think i've ever actually tried it, is this spot in the garbage safe from emissions?

omg i found a PDA we are so fucking up rn

[marsh bridge]

not a bad start
2 fucking loners meleed a exosuit merc in WT before so i got to nab the batteries and other shit

[fair remnant]

Limansk fucking sucks :(

[marsh bridge]

whoops i forgot duty is neutral with military

2 veteran militarys show up around a corner and i kinda shat myself and killed them both

[fair remnant]

Wait no not limansk

Pripyat*

[radiant trellis]

both fuckin suck

[rose musk]

you know what sucks worse

[fair remnant]

I walk into pripyat for the first time

[quasi python]

prip is the best place to go for gun fights

[fair remnant]

4 monolith, one in full exo

[rose musk]

I need to get a yellow stash and it's right in front of the rostok/garbage boarder

[fair remnant]

THEN ABIT FURTHER

A PSEUDOGIANT AND A CONTROLLER

[rose musk]

I have 12 boolets and there's 6 men

[radiant trellis]

and for getting squashed by pseudogiants

[quasi python]

i love being kitted with my merc squad and some NVGs with a rain storm

[quasi python]

ight this is real tho

[radiant trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/tuff-gguh-ai-baby-sona-meme-gif-15767759709245242383

[quasi python]

thats outskirts though for me

outskirts is where all the pseudo and chimera cancer is

[radiant trellis]

actually bro 🙁

[fair remnant]

I ought to find a replacement for this funky aks-74U soon

[radiant trellis]

but like thats northern zone for u

[radiant trellis]

how does it look

[quasi python]

BRO EVERYTIME I TRNASITION TO THE MAP THIS FUCKS IN, HE JUST FUCKS OFF TO ANOTHER MAP! I CANT CATCH HIM TO COMPLETE IT!

[fair remnant]

Like this

Ive used it so long the scope and canted sight have melded to the gun

It wont let me take them off

[radiant trellis]

Idk i presonally think it looks cool

[fair remnant]

I like it, served me fucken well

[radiant trellis]

but i can see why ppl woulkdnt like it

[fair remnant]

But I think its time I get somethin' better

[radiant trellis]

yeah cuz there are better guns

[marsh bridge]

one shudders to imagine the day they might encounter the st_dyn_news_comm_monster_8

[radiant trellis]

bro sr2m is so goated

i love that gun

[fair remnant]

I've had a scar-h sitting in a stash for awhile

Might fix that up once I can

[radiant trellis]

yeah i lwkenuinley encountered one

[radiant trellis]

wait are scars any good?

[quasi python]

meh

[fair remnant]

I mean it felt nice to shoot for the bit I used it

[radiant trellis]

i dont really care for scars anyways

i dont like the way they look

[quasi python]

it claps but its just not worth it

[quasi python]

scope selection for it is kinda mid too

[radiant trellis]

is it cuz recoil and ammo?

[marsh bridge]

theres a scar variant in the BAS update that added a bunch of new guns that literally had zero recoil

[radiant trellis]

dang thats cool

[quasi python]

idk tbh... im just super biased cus i have one IRL and i love it compared to the game one

[radiant trellis]

even if it was the best gun in the game i prolly wouldnt bother using it

[marsh bridge]

im not sure if that BAS update is incorporated into gamma but if it is you might find it

[radiant trellis]

i just rlly dont like how it looks

[radiant trellis]

ohh that makes sense

[rose musk]

I pulled it off and got the basic tools, can finally have a backpack

PB with the green barrel is carrying hard

[radiant trellis]

wtf where did ur backpack go

were u playin blackroad?

[quasi python]

i dont like the short barrel look of it and the recoil is booty in the game compared to irl, it just needs more love tbh

[rose musk]

isolated and hated so I started with literally nothing

[radiant trellis]

ohh ok

[radiant trellis]

yeah i agree

[fair remnant]

Oh shiit a pkp

[quasi python]

this is new best girl, but i only ever found it once

tbh a lot of the x51 rifles are pretty nice so

[rose musk]

wait I can't craft a backpack cause i don't have the fucking basic recipe

[fair remnant]

Oh shiit

[rose musk]

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-gif-18148683

[fair remnant]

DUTY EXOSUIT??

[quasi python]

dootyberrrg

[fair remnant]

A duty exoskeleton

Better than the sunrise and my current armor

Fuck yeeah

[radiant trellis]

wait i forgot, thats deadass in the game?

or is it smth like the efwp reanimated mod

[quasi python]

its not but i readded it thinks to forsty

[rose musk]

surely this container will protect me from an emission right guys

[quasi python]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/escape-from-tarkov-g28-rifle

[radiant trellis]

fwp?

ohh

yeah i need that fs

[quasi python]

yea go on his addons from moddb got some good M4 variants too and others

[radiant trellis]

im lwky reinstalling gamma rn tho

[quasi python]

hes got a M32 GL import as well but its SUPER rare

have yet to find it

[radiant trellis]

yeah i saw all those im planning on adding them too

[quasi python]

but they all work out the box with the 3dss so no need

[radiant trellis]

oh yeah i already know

i love that guys mods

[quasi python]

but yea its my fav rifel especially if u use mags, then you can get the 50 rnd drum for it

[radiant trellis]

suck the iwp ones got taken down 🙁

[quasi python]

yee

[radiant trellis]

yeah thats right

wait if i wanna use mags can u recommend me mods that help balance the game out more or give myself an upperhand?

bcuz mags make the game like a lot more difficult last time i used it

[quasi python]

mags just require you too find better mags off bodies and buy them from traders when your tier is higher

[fair remnant]

Okay what the fuck

I am getting too lucky

monolith blade, duty exosuit AND a shak-12 for me to repair

[radiant trellis]

yk what

[fair remnant]

Oh shit I can use that S.U.P kit on it too

[radiant trellis]

so my biggest issue was loading the mags

so i might add them but then make them auto load

or like load instantly

[quasi python]

you just need to get used to it. some mags load faster than others

[radiant trellis]

yeah the upgraded ones

[quasi python]

i hated the loading at first but i forced myself to get used to it cus then it breaks the game

if u dont

[radiant trellis]

just when i do bs for example it gets really annoying and frustrating

[quasi python]

cus then it makes it worth finding other mags and you have to think about it more. big mags with slow loading or smaller faster loading

[radiant trellis]

yeah u got a point

[marsh bridge]

quick question how many bandits spawn at a "defend location" mission? im doing one at garbage right now and theres at least 30 bandit bodies and they're still coming

[rose musk]

it seems rather random

i've had hold the lines that end at 3-4 waves and some that go nearly 8

[radiant trellis]

like a lot of them spawn

at least from my experinces

[marsh bridge]

dude thank fuck i turned off NPC loot claim

all this loot is MINE

[rose musk]

npc loot claim is highly cringe

and just leads to me breaking roleplay by slaughtering my friends

[radiant trellis]

oh yeah it gets u a lot of loot

[radiant trellis]

like for factions in general or companions?

[rose musk]

if I fight a group of dudes with 2 friendly guys near by

[radiant trellis]

bcuz i leave no looting on all the time so i wouldnt know if companions do that

[rose musk]

they happen to snipe 2 kills

I am now going to kill them to get the loot off the already dead bodies

[radiant trellis]

oh yeah thats hella annoying

and then they dont even loot them either

[rose musk]

exactly

if loot claim was on oh boy isolated and hated would be near impossible I feel

ratting fights would become so much pain

[brazen dove]

what does your reputation in game affect?

[idle kelp]

the game has significantly improved for me since I disabled loot claim I don't care if it makes sense

[marsh bridge]

25 bandits 1 merc and a couple clear sky/loner corpses and not a single green barrel

i did find this off the merc though

[quartz portal]

Name any of the none secret locked stalker faction rq idc which one

I got bored as mercs

So im picking my next one

[quasi python]

im playing as a nerd rn

[marsh bridge]

FNP-45 reload takes way too long for a pistol

[quasi python]

yea but its good

[marsh bridge]

if i wanted a good pistol with a long reload i would just use the deagle

i got a glock im gonna fix up anyway so it dont really matter

[quasi python]

for muties?

[marsh bridge]

yea chuck 9x19 hp in it and it downs dogs/cats in 2-3 hits and bigger fuckers with 5-10
if im really that concerned with mutants i would get some 5.45 HP going in an ak

ive already mentioned 545 HP being pretty nutty especially for areas below army warehouse

[quasi python]

i like how a surge came as soon as i got done looting all the artis and my carry weight was too much to run to shelter fast enough

[quasi python]

i thought 45HS is better tho

for muties

[marsh bridge]

it is

but i like my glocks

with their fast reload

[formal mountain]

okay but 90 rounds of 545 to kill 10 stalkers is wild

[quasi python]

i never use 9x19 but i might try it

[marsh bridge]

thats 2 veteran mercs for ya

[quasi python]

ngl i might ride this aug out for a minute

[grave pivot]

Ooooo, nice grind bro

[formal mountain]

i've used it all the way till miracle machine

pretty good

[marsh bridge]

i died on my last ironman life

heres what ive got right now

[quasi python]

AWW FUCK i shoulda made this eco run an ironman one

eveyrtime i do an ironman, i find super good loot at the start and die

[marsh bridge]

theres an addon on moddb that allows you to set a run as ironman even if youve already set it as non ironman at the start

idk if its compatible with gamma

[quasi python]

yea but that would make me feel like ppopy

[thick sedge]

that's not how ironman works

[quasi python]

my fate as a stalger sadly

[hasty sun]

Found a P90 with some swagger

[marsh bridge]

@grave pivot

[quasi python]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/universal-craft-repair-cook-from-stashes

if yall dont got it already i highly suggest

so much time saver

not needing to go back and forth looking for shit in stash then go back to bench

[hasty sun]

I just use the workbench stash?

[quasi python]

you use the workbench and it uses your nearby stashes

[hasty sun]

There's a workbench you can stuff 300kg of loot into baseline in gamma

[quasi python]

so if you put stash next to work bench no need to look inside stash

[hasty sun]

And it uses the items in the stash when you use the workbench

[quasi python]

yea but if u use faction workbecnhes like me. it makes dumping all your loot in the giant crate and forgetting about it nice

i dont need to go back and foruth between stash and benhc to find the right material

[hasty sun]

I like making my own little workbench zone

[quasi python]

bahaha

i tihnk wit hthis you only need the one bench and itll search the other crates too

idk yet. i only have one container next to bench and it works

[thick sedge]

damn maybe I should move to yanov station

then again I hope this is not the typical rostok ah base

[haughty stone]

Workbench has an inbuilt 300kg box

[formal mountain]

someone found my spot hehe

[quasi python]

yea but i like using faction workbenches so its eaier to just throw a crate down near it and make a home

i like listening to mangun ramble while i use his stuff

[haughty stone]

For early game sure

[thick sedge]

but you can't put your spare tools inside nor have parts ready for you

complicated and time consuming if you pull parts you wanna replace

[quasi python]

well when i move to jupiter i use the bench at yanov

[haughty stone]

Why?

Why not make your own

[quasi python]

cus their is now 2 mechnaics with trader level 3 items i can buy if i need to

[quasi python]

cus i like all the stalgers at yanov keeping me company

[thick sedge]

the random pseudogiant entering yanov:

[haughty stone]

Their trade lvl depends on how many tools you have given them

[quasi python]

havent had that yet but thanks for the nightmare

[quasi python]

yuh... i gib them all the tools cus jupiter spawns advanced and expert tools like candy cus i horde for the fetch quests

this is literally me my entire game with one or two walking backpacks https://a.storyblok.com/f/178900/640x533/c62cc8f78c/3c2b66e834b73a7f288a84d6c16df59b1419865609_full.png/m/640x533

[haughty stone]

Having your own workbench means that the stuff in its box gets automatically used by the workbench and you don't have to drag it in and out of your inventory.
Also you can place it right next to the technician

[quasi python]

the mod i put above does the same thing but with the faction bench

so i dont need to craft or buy my own bench

[haughty stone]

oh

[hasty sun]

Man the green P90 is a laser beam wtf

[haughty stone]

[quasi python]

[grave pivot]

And that is why, i dont do Ironman

[grave pivot]

With how much stuff I've been carrying, id rather have my character pull around an armoured Cart with a stash on it

Mobile cover + storage

[hasty sun]

[fair remnant]

Fuuuck

ruger sr-556 or shak-12

[stuck sierra]

I am doing lots of artifact hunting so I can have a good belt

I can make myself an empty but I got no snork masks

And I actually need quite a bit of them

[celest sparrow]

Armor Rework soon™"
after working on 40 other things

[stuck sierra]

I am looking up to the armor rework ngl

[formal mountain]

i'm trying to finish some tier 4 artifacts but i swear it's such a slog

[stuck sierra]

I predict Merc armors getting hit hard

[brazen dove]

what is the difference between the rd-74n isg tactical and the rifle dynamics draco isg?

[stuck sierra]

That’s why you artifact hunt a ton in the south so you have a very comfy baseline for pretty much anything you might need

[formal mountain]

next time i'll play on some custom settings for them than wait irl days and finding jack

[formal mountain]

yeah i've done that

[quasi python]

where my 0.9.5 its only been???

[stuck sierra]

Seems like Merc armors dominate up to exo tiers

[hasty sun]

Petition to get a PDA V4 you can use with NV on

[celest sparrow]

It's all part of Grok's plan
stalling the Armor Rework with small updates so the next update to work on is 1.0

[stuck sierra]

And than they get toppled by UNISG

With their nosorog

[fair remnant]

Why did they have to give me two guns I want to use

[hasty sun]

Still believing 1.0 is real

[stuck sierra]

Hyena, Merc combat Seva/Merc Berill, Merc Ace

[stuck sierra]

Dungeons!

[fair remnant]

I cant decide whether to use the ruger sr-556 or the shak

They both fuck

[hasty sun]

Keep both on you

[stuck sierra]

Game’s balance really encourages killing mercenaries

[quasi python]

its nice to see mercs actually winning fights now that they arent running around with only shotugns and 9mm

[stuck sierra]

They are one of the best factions to farm exo/arti books on, they drop one of the best armors in the game and they drop very good nato guns

[brazen dove]

is the hybrid better than the merc ace?

[stuck sierra]

I actually don’t know

[fair remnant]

Wait oh my god yeah

[stuck sierra]

I guess it can be better if you minmax the hell out of your belt

[fair remnant]

The shak is basically a full auto dmr

[stuck sierra]

Even proto exos are better than ace

If you minmax the belt slot

[quasi python]

ace best girl

[stuck sierra]

UNISG Nosorog, “Vyraj” SIN exo, SSP-99 Ecologist, UNISG Proto exo are all pretty much the same

If you minmax your belt

Each one of those can hit the BR cap

And technically SSP-99 is better because you don’t have to pay for batteries, it weights less than a kilogram and can be made into an anomaly diving suit

It really shows how important the artifacts are in this game

[thick sedge]

put some plates too?

[stuck sierra]

Artifacts

Just artifacts

[thick sedge]

balls

no I mean to prevent unexpected shooters

[stuck sierra]

7 balls

[hasty sun]

[stuck sierra]

Hell yeah

[dusk vessel]

Except the proto exo has 50kg more carry weight

[stuck sierra]

Yeah don’t forget to count in the weight of the thing

[dusk vessel]

Literally me right now bruh

[dusk vessel]

Proto exos arent that heavy

Since they lack real armour plating

[thick sedge]

that means I can carry Hip

[stuck sierra]

Still

[thick sedge]

[stuck sierra]

SSP-99 weights like

0.73 kilos

[dusk vessel]

!hip

[dawn marten]

🫵

[stuck sierra]

I think

[dusk vessel]

Its like 5 kilos

And giving 10kg carry weight

[stuck sierra]

The upgrade removes 5 kilos

[dusk vessel]

Thing is compass empty full empty

[stuck sierra]

[dusk vessel]

They all remove carry weight

[hasty sun]

Good to go

[dusk vessel]

By a decent chunk

[stuck sierra]

All SSP suits have an upgrade that makes them weight less than 1 kilo

And it’s a t1 upgrade too

[dusk vessel]

Lmao

Still its the artifacts that are the problem

[stuck sierra]

Meh

[dusk vessel]

You lose a ton of carry weight from them

And i like using heavy guns so

[stuck sierra]

By the time you reach T4 artis you will have

Good backpacks

[dusk vessel]

Proto exo will always be my first pick

Even if they lack anomaly protection

[stuck sierra]

Artifacts can fix that

Also just carry an SSP with you

[dusk vessel]

Or just surge

[stuck sierra]

Again, less than a kilo

Surge suppressor with an SSP

And ur set for life

[dusk vessel]

I do carry an ssp because its a disguise aswell

[stuck sierra]

Whole contraption weights like 2 kilos

[dusk vessel]

Ik

Ive never had a problem with anomalies

[stuck sierra]

I hate

[fair remnant]

Stalker 2's map is so fucked

[stuck sierra]

Acid

Acid AoE damage

[dusk vessel]

Only when diving into fields for artifacts then i need protection

[fair remnant]

Your tellin me the ship in zaton is now mysteriously in a region next to garbage and the great swamp?

[hasty sun]

Still haven't played it
Waiting for GAMMA 2

[stuck sierra]

Yeah that’s the reason why you carry it around

[fair remnant]

Time for the miserable trek of moving all of my stuff from rostok to the skadavosk

[dusk vessel]

Can you take a guide while encumbered

[stuck sierra]

That’s very easy

To move

[fair remnant]

It'll only take like a trek if I use my sunset suit

It'll just be really miserable

[dusk vessel]

Im playing renegade and im gonna have to move my stuff from dark valley to jupiter bandit base

Thats gonna be fun

[lethal steeple]

i really can't picture anything as to what the armor rework could be to be honest like what is there to do

[stuck sierra]

You can hire a guide through fast travel in your PDA, while being more expensive you can travel while overencumbered, injured, etc

[lethal steeple]

i've always championed axing the armor pool down to only essentials but that'd need reworking of the disguise mechanic

[stuck sierra]

And breaks down your equipment less

[celest sparrow]

Just remove the disguise mechanic

fuck them

[lethal steeple]

but if it isn't that then like what

[graceful quiver]

"Hire a guide", more like hire someone to carry you wholesale lol

[lethal steeple]

do yet another 180 and make br class damage reduction stack multiplicatively with balls

[fair remnant]

ITS 20K FOR A GUIDE TO ROSTOK </3

[lethal steeple]

because that was denied like a trillion times back in the day

[formal mountain]

i have absolutely no idea why big game is a repeatable quest

[stuck sierra]

40k there and back, it costs like twice less to hire it from Yanov so you can do that

[formal mountain]

it's impossible to make money with it

[stuck sierra]

3 lapua magnum rounds

4*

[lethal steeple]

because it's in reference to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAMMA being an INFINITELY replayable game, hence the word "big" in the title of the quest

[dusk vessel]

There is a guide in bandit base is there not

[stuck sierra]

Idk if that’s gonna be stonks ngl

[dusk vessel]

That takes you to the bandit base in jupiter

That guy will be way cheaper

[stuck sierra]

If it’s a friendly base you can always go there through your pda

[formal mountain]

where the f am i supposed to find that

[stuck sierra]

That’s pretty smart

[dusk vessel]

Thats more expensive

[stuck sierra]

Craft

[formal mountain]

💀

[stuck sierra]

Make your own

[formal mountain]

no the gun

[stuck sierra]

Oh

Yeah gl w that

[formal mountain]

💀

[dusk vessel]

Isg

[stuck sierra]

Also if you have a companion with an RPG they just solo it for it

[quasi python]

WELP time to make this deagle my entire personality

[dusk vessel]

Or high tier mercs in general

Everytime ive found a lapua rifle it was either a merc or a isg

[celest sparrow]

at best, consistency of Stats within a Faction
other than that, BR Class being worse on Medium / Light Armor

[formal mountain]

it's cheap as f

why would anyone do it

[dusk vessel]

Not sure if mono/freedom even spawn with them

[celest sparrow]

and in a way, still not that helpful in Heavy / Exo due to BR Res cap

[sick yoke]

BR being even more useless 👍

[lethal steeple]

that's crazy

[brazen dove]

what is the best 7.62x39 gun? I have the mutant and the isg draco but I'm wondering if there are any other better guns out there

[random grail]

Sks

[celest sparrow]

Grok seems to be occupied on other stuff to not care for the Armor Rework so

[lethal steeple]

we need to fix br class because it's fucking useless
what about making it worse

[celest sparrow]

gotta make sure CS and Duty fucking hate eachother

[lethal steeple]

it just sounds like a scheme from micah bell dude you can not make this up

[hasty sun]

Hell yeah fuck em

[celest sparrow]

Oh boy I have 70 BR Class
Can't wait to only receive 65% BR Res if the shot doesn't penetrate

[hasty sun]

I've read a lot and i still have no idea how BR and pen works
I just make the number higher and hope i die less

[lethal steeple]

if the bullet's ap that just hit you has the same ap or lower than your br class then your damage reduction against bullets is increased in relation to your br class and your armor's base ballistics resistance UP TO THE SAME CAP and it also fully prevents bleeds

the thing is that the extreme end of br class numbers only ever allow you to block like 4 hits best case scenario because of the moment in the game you unlock the suit

[celest sparrow]

I don't get why it can't go past cap

[lethal steeple]

something something granularity and information conveying something something you know

[celest sparrow]

[lethal steeple]

it's not like idk it could be explained through npe

[formal mountain]

i hope he enjoys the parts

bitch.

[lethal steeple]

or maybe use the barely used impact resistance as a second layer of damage reduction

if you were to stop a bullet

if ap <= br then damage reduction = balls * impact

instead of some obscure ass extremely specific formula that only works off of the armor's base stats and goes up to the same cap

[hasty sun]

Why did i never think of straight up selling parts?

Bigger number better number

[lethal steeple]

not exactly because you want to ignore br class

and just focus on balls

[hasty sun]

Balls?

[dusk vessel]

Ballistic resistance

Its far more valuable

[hasty sun]

Ah i see

[dusk vessel]

Br class has one specific use case but thats about it

[hasty sun]

Making me wonder if those steel plates i always have are actually any good

[celest sparrow]

if you are in the North, no

[hasty sun]

Oh

[dusk vessel]

That is the specific use case

[hasty sun]

Thought the 10% BR would be something

[dusk vessel]

Br class only works south

[hasty sun]

I mean it also gives BR

[dusk vessel]

And even then you will still want high bal res

[hasty sun]

Flat 10% when i don't have good artifacts is still something

[formal mountain]

i'm building one for 10% ballistic res anyway

[lethal steeple]

nah

never good

like if you could get a t4 plate in the fucking cordon MAYBE
