The hardest part is making sure you dont rush things, otherwise its easy

[hollow barn]

Depending on what faction you pick, it would be pretty easy

[shadow glade]

why do you have 7.62x51 mags when you use hk416?

[hollow barn]

Ecologists, easy. Renegades or zombies, hard as fuck

[blissful ivy]

Im saying playing loner, merc or some other standard faction

[formal mountain]

cuz m110 uses 7.62

which is in my inventory

[hollow barn]

Yeah, probably simple enough if you don't take stupid fights

[blissful ivy]

That ^

Thats why i said “just dont play like a retard, and its easy”

[placid root]

its easy man, just dont die

[shadow glade]

now i see that
i never seen so much green stuff
so i thought it was normal looking inventory

[blissful ivy]

He gets it

Its just ru556 who doesnt

[valid crater]

Well, get used to, it's like Fallout Frost for the first time, you die like every new game in the first few minutes, but once you adjusted -> easy going.

[outer ember]

Happy new year

[hard crown]

master ragebaiter

anyway difficulty is relative

but truth is that probably less then 10 percent of gamma players have invictus

cheeky breeky took like 6 real life months to comple invictus

[woven hollow]

Benelli M4

[formal mountain]

i love Lotta

[woven hollow]

loveable dork indeed

[hard crown]

is there an m4 like gun which is better then the m4a1 protector in base gamma?

[woven hollow]

regular M4

[formal mountain]

the hera m4

[woven hollow]

because it can use M203 UBGL

and that's a massive boost really

[hard crown]

do you have a picture?

[formal mountain]

looks smth like this

[hard crown]

alright alright. is the rate of fire higher then 770?

[formal mountain]

prob

[woven hollow]

my ISG AK has 985rpm

770 is rookie numbers

[hard crown]

is that a 545x39?

[hard crown]

.

[woven hollow]

7.62x39

[dusk vessel]

for some reason you can upgrade the AKMS to 828 rpm

[woven hollow]

[woven hollow]

it's stalker

¯_(ツ)_/¯

welcome to eurojank 101

arcadey mechanics all around

[hard crown]

wait what

[woven hollow]

all guns in both base anomally and gamma can have rate of fire upgrades

%based ones

[dusk vessel]

in most cases its just flat addition

[woven hollow]

tbf even IRL you can make an AK go much faster

[dusk vessel]

like it will say +60% but add 60 rpm

on some it will be an actual percentage increase

like on akms

[woven hollow]

also both ISG draco and AK-74

and a few other AK's

[dusk vessel]

aek and the 74u tac

also

[swift seal]

I upgraded my suit now I’m on like ez mode

[shadow glade]

I crashed like 15 times now

[dusk vessel]

both of them have multiplier

but only like 1-2 rpm upgrades

[woven hollow]

also both AK-105 variants

can have 1000+ rpm

[hard crown]

is there a mod that adds 50 beowulf or .458 socom?

[woven hollow]

that was a very silly thing back in 0.9.2 to me

[dusk vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/forza-motorsport-7-ferrari-458-italia-gte-racing-race-ferrari-gif-6793661560723028552

[woven hollow]

le funny 1100rpm buzzsaw that eats the cheapest ar cartridge in the game

[dusk vessel]

458

mags is very silly

30 round guns taking 95 round mags

[hard crown]

i play with no mags. but if i ahd to play with mags,, i would only buy mags that match the gun model

[dusk vessel]

most dont

[woven hollow]

mags break gamma's balancing

even further than it is broken already

you do you

[dusk vessel]

they really do

[shadow glade]

i remember glorious days of aksu tactical
it is still same today
a CQB monster

[hard crown]

why is gamma balancing broken?

[woven hollow]

mhm

all 5.45 AK's are amazing IMO

[shadow glade]

where exactly?

[woven hollow]

aksu tac, ak-74m venom, ak-105 shakal/swamp, etc.

[shadow glade]

yeah

[dusk vessel]

cant forget pmc

[woven hollow]

swamp is 5.56 but can get lumped into the same category

[dusk vessel]

that one is easy to find and very nice

[woven hollow]

pmc is just a venom sidegrade

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dusk vessel]

sure

[woven hollow]

isg ak-74 is also a fun 5.45 gun

[hard crown]

btw i m using the vssk, lots of ppl told me it was bad

[woven hollow]

and a fun 5.56 gun too since it can take that upgrade

[hard crown]

it is a beast

literally nuts

[shadow glade]

its quite suprising that 5.45 amd 5.56 are equally good BUT
every play thru i find my self with an AK rather than AR

[hard crown]

the slow bullet velocity doesnt affect me. gamma maps are so small anyways

[dusk vessel]

545 do better in the hp and 556 in the ap

[hard crown]

the drag and drop is barely noticeble

[dusk vessel]

but you dont use ap that much anyway

[woven hollow]

ammo economy

[hard crown]

556 is a bigger and faster round

[woven hollow]

since 5.45 is cheaper as is

[shadow glade]

when you lobbing 1100 rpm at someone BR doesnt matter

[hard crown]

it s a better round

[woven hollow]

i disassemble all 5.45/5.56 HP ammo personally

using a shotgun for mutants instead

[dusk vessel]

deals less damage

[hard crown]

thats why i try to not use ak 74s and similars

[hard crown]

it does not

[shadow glade]

i save 5.45 hp for freedom quest

[woven hollow]

they are the same quite literally

both IRL and in gamma

in terms of performance

[hard crown]

irl it s better 556

[woven hollow]

7N6 wants to have a word with you

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dusk vessel]

its gamma it isnt realistic

545 does more damage in gamma

[hard crown]

footpounds are better on 556 as well as velocity

[dusk vessel]

simple as

[shadow glade]

bro

[woven hollow]

^

that's basically it for gamma

[shadow glade]

difference is 2 BR and 2 DAMAGE

[woven hollow]

and IRL both are just your standard intermediate cartridges

[shadow glade]

5.56 has 2-3 more BR
and
5.45 has 2-3 more damage

[woven hollow]

the same from standpoint of logistics

[dusk vessel]

if you get shot by either irl, youre gonna die

big spoiler

[shadow glade]

NO SHIT SHERLOCK

[woven hollow]

with very minor differences in performance that are meaningless for everyone

[dusk vessel]

the platform you fire it from matters more anyway

[shadow glade]

the fact is
gun shoots and thats all you need

be happy its not a .22 lr

[dusk vessel]

we know

[hard crown]

556 is a better round, not sure why in gamma it deals more damage. makes no sense

[dusk vessel]

this isnt new information

[shadow glade]

its a FUCKING GAME

[novel junco]

GAMMA is not a milsim

[dusk vessel]

in gamma if you swap a SVDS into 5.56 it will do more damage than with 7.62x54

its not realistic and its not trying to be

[shadow glade]

its wont
just a visual bug

[dusk vessel]

its not a visual bug

its a thing

[novel junco]

Play Arma you gun nuts

[shadow glade]

they havent fixed that?

well

[hard crown]

gamma tries a lot to be realistic. seems like a tarkov with mutants

[woven hollow]

1. It's a fucking game
2. Who the fuck cares you won't be shooting sub-MOA in a combat scenario

[shadow glade]

if it tried it would be ass

[formal mountain]

it's an eastern europe game so 5.45 does more damage

there you go

[woven hollow]

gamma is very RPG-ish

and that's a known fact

[hard crown]

so is tarkov

[dusk vessel]

fuck tarkov

nobody cares

[novel junco]

we have tarkov and fallout like skills

[hard crown]

ballistics are inspired by tarkov, guns are stripped from tarjov

[shadow glade]

either way 5.45 and 5.56 are more/less same at performance because it would be bad balance wise for some factions to have better gun than others at the same point in progression

[formal mountain]

Just gave my expert tools by accident to mechanic

kill me

[dusk vessel]

you can still use them at his bench

[shadow glade]

lol

[hard crown]

its clearly tryiong to be as realistic as possible while keeping the fun aspect fo a videogame. my humble iopinion is that 556 should be better, not by much but yes.

[formal mountain]

yeah but kill me.

[blissful ivy]

Thats just a skill issue, shouldnt take half of a year, thats like 1/140th of your life, sure doesnt sound like much, but thats lots

[hard crown]

i can agree with that

[mint copper]

pretty sure boris took 6 months just to leave cordon

[shadow glade]

And when he did he was in nosorog

[mint copper]

no i think he had a knife and maybe got a pistol somewhere

cuz he started the game multiple times without choosing a proper loadout 🤦‍♂️

[shadow glade]

i did my invictus in 90 hours with A TON savescumming

[dusk vessel]

if youre gonna savescum why do invicticus at all

worthless

[shadow glade]

it was a while ago
almost a year

rn savescuming doesnt work so it would interesting to do it one more time

BUT i have abyssmal luck

I died 6 times in a row at radar to a novice monolith

[blissful ivy]

[blissful ivy]

Also a skill issue

Black road is hard sure

But not 6 months in cordon hard

And blackroad gives literally nothing to you, not even the free stuff

[dusk vessel]

boris isnt a hardcore gamer

[blissful ivy]

Neither am i

[dusk vessel]

most casual gamer you can find which is fine

[blissful ivy]

You just need to play like a gutter rat

Thats all

[dusk vessel]

bruh

[mint copper]

he didnt do black road tho, he just didnt understand how the loadout screen works for some reason 😄

[blissful ivy]

Yeah, i know

[mint copper]

i got so angry at that i was like wtf is he doing

it was painful to watch

[blissful ivy]

I do blackroad, and i get 0 items and all factions want to kill me, but i guess being super mega casual would make it hard to get

But still, its pretty doable

[mint copper]

if you dont even have a knife, how are you going to kill anything

[shadow glade]

fn 2000 is amazing now

[hard crown]

yeah i found it. but i m nto using it cuz it looks so frickign ugly

[formal mountain]

come onnn

someone know where to find chimeras?

[shadow glade]

generators

there is like 4 of them there

and outskirts are good

[tropic gale]

that fast travel spot in zaton, high high tower
always found chimeras when dropping down the stairs

[formal mountain]

HERE?

caps

[dusk vessel]

army warehouses next to the helicopter psy field

[hard crown]

by the way i ve never been north of radar/red forest

if i mamage to do bs soon, i ll be so hapy to explore new maps

[dusk vessel]

but otherwise outskirts is a good place

[hard crown]

btw what are the ebst ehavy armors for bs (no exo)

[shadow glade]

i reccomend hospital at outskirts

[dusk vessel]

just run around in outskirts until they spawn in

up and down the roads

[hard crown]

me tryign to avoid chimera. this guy hunting them down

[dusk vessel]

you need their hearts for artifacts

and they dont drop often

[hard crown]

yeah i saw still scary af

[dusk vessel]

im gettint twice as many chimera hides as im getting hearts usually

[hard crown]

you make 1 little mistake and u die

[dusk vessel]

thats just this game in general

[hard crown]

i guess

but a spysucker or dog or whatever

wont be as bad as a chimera hitting you

what kind of ropture do you need to not get onetapped by chimera?

[dusk vessel]

if you know the attack patterns chimeras are very easy to deal with

can even meele them

if you dont youre kinda screwed

[hard crown]

i know them

but a few times

i got stucked

and died

[swift seal]

Just found a heavily encrypted document in a gold stash, any idea what to do with it?

[hard crown]

they are easy to dodge

[dusk vessel]

if you want a good heavy armour look for a hybrid armoured suit or an exosuit

[hard crown]

but when you have a chimera and maybe a speudodog and maybe some other stuff

it becoimes super difficult

[dusk vessel]

specifically the exosuits with 4 belt slots upgraded

[hard crown]

what is an hybrid, is it called like that? hybrid armor?

[dusk vessel]

its just the name

factionless heavy armour

[hard crown]

what the br on that hybrid?

[dusk vessel]

get something with belt slots and ballistic resistance

br is irrelevant for you if youre gonna be fighting monos

they all use ap

resistance is the important part for it

so, bring morphine

[hard crown]

okok

what s the resistance on the hybrid?

i found a heavy monolith armor

just to compare if it is the same values

[shadow glade]

Hybrid is fine

it has 7% less ballistic and 2 br less

[dusk vessel]

its among the best heavy armours

what you put in your belt slots matters more

than the armour itself

[dusk vessel]

it gets 5 belt slots

[shadow glade]

but you can put a lot of good stuff in a belts so its more useful than heavy armors

and it also allows more carry weight

[hard crown]

okok

[dusk vessel]

also 100% movement speed

[hard crown]

i dont use artefacts

[dusk vessel]

exosuits are 90%

[dusk vessel]

you should

[hard crown]

what are the best stuff i can use on belt, not countign artefacts

[dusk vessel]

get yourself a compass eventually. even just an empty makes a decent difference

[hard crown]

as of now i got the lvl 3 kevlar

aluminuim grid

and bloodsucker skin

(best stuff for bs)

[hard crown]

i just dont cuz i dont like them

just a preference

[shadow glade]

well
you do you
but people use them because they're essential
especially for invictus

[dusk vessel]

youre meant to use them lategame

even mid game using an empty

is normal

[hard crown]

i m not doign invictus just ironman

i know game is much mroe difficult without them

still i talked toa guy a while ago

he did it with no artefacts

[dusk vessel]

sure its possible

[hard crown]

so it is doable

[dusk vessel]

but i doubt you can

[shadow glade]

Artifacts remove a margin of errors

andsave you from bullshit

[green gyro]

is full auto hydrashock decent against chimeras?

[hard crown]

i know i kjnow i jsut dont liek them

[shadow glade]

like a SUPER ELITE MASTER PRO SNIPER MONOLITH NOVICE

that blasts you in a mere millisecond

[hard crown]

might be the best antimutant gun in the game

[woven hollow]

it's great against any mutant

tbf chimeras are walking money bags

[green gyro]

i always relied on full auto shotguns

or semi auto rather

[woven hollow]

you can take on them with anything that does high unarmoured damage

[green gyro]

good good

[woven hollow]

melee too

[green gyro]

just fixed up a frasier

[woven hollow]

you can force it to kite you

instead of kiting it

[hard crown]

chimera are easy af

if they are alone

[woven hollow]

and just cave its skull in with a hammer

[hard crown]

if youa re fightign a cghimera and soemthign else

joins

youa re fucked

[shadow glade]

if there are more than 1 just jump in a bush

[green gyro]

yeah i have no problem with chimeras, just wondering about dmg

[hard crown]

thats my experience

[shadow glade]

when you're in a bush mutant ai breaks

[woven hollow]

any 12ga or 45ACP burst into it and it's dead

lmao

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dusk vessel]

we love cheese

[woven hollow]

classic stalker jank

[dusk vessel]

or any 5.45hp and 5.56hp for that matter

[woven hollow]

mhm

[green gyro]

thats how i cleared military cordon outpost as a kid always

[dusk vessel]

all 4 are valid options

[shadow glade]

OR glock 18c with 1400 rpm

[dusk vessel]

glock19 hornet

[woven hollow]

or any 9x19 at that

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dusk vessel]

yeah mp9 also shreds

[green gyro]

i wish i got an mp9 drop instead of p90

[dusk vessel]

most of the 9x19 make up for the lower damage with rpm

[green gyro]

no reason other than fun

[dusk vessel]

the good ones anyway

[woven hollow]

or they are aug a3 9mm

[dusk vessel]

lmao

mp5sd gets a pass

[woven hollow]

that thing can't hit a broadside of a barn

aug i mean

[dusk vessel]

9x19 aug is such a joke

i laughed so hard when i found one

for the first time

[hard crown]

yeah u all talk shit to the chimera. but we all know you screamed like a little girl first time you encontered one.

[green gyro]

thats a given

[dusk vessel]

i just hid inside of a yellow bus and shot it with my pistol till it died

[hard crown]

i didnt knwo about the bush bug

and i aitn goign to use it

seems unfun

[dusk vessel]

i know about it but i think its cheap

id rather play on lower difficulty than use cheese to survive

[hard crown]

also i think controller plus chimera in opoen area might mean death

[shadow glade]

FFS 4 CHIMERAS JUST SPAWNED FTOM THE THIN AIR

[woven hollow]

outskirts moment

[hard crown]

see talk shit to chimera

and now ass gets wooped

[woven hollow]

i have a companion with SA58 OSW that shreds almost everything

so

[shadow glade]

not when they MATERIALIZE IN FRON OF YOU

[woven hollow]

nothing is a problem at this point

just set him to support combat and he'll clean camps all on his own

[hard crown]

well dotn talk shit then..... respect the zone

i dont use companions either

my rules are 4. no artefacts. no exo. no companions, no savescum

but i got lifegranter each 5 days

[woven hollow]

so basically savescummed

[hard crown]

?wut?

[woven hollow]

you do you

[formal mountain]

-1 chimera heart found next to the ecologist lab

[hard crown]

i was considerign allowing exo... thats only one that i m thinking about

cuz it might be close to impossible with no exo late game

[woven hollow]

idk why put such restrictions on yourself but allowing lifegranted

lmao

¯_(ツ)_/¯

but you do you

north is balanced around having ballres cap

with artis

[dusk vessel]

has someone finished the entire main quest with pm yet

surely

[woven hollow]

exo is not mandatory

[dusk vessel]

it really isnt

[shadow glade]

Its possible
insanely hard
but possible

[dusk vessel]

artifacts are way more important

[woven hollow]

artis are a great upgrade

and are important

[dusk vessel]

than the armour itself

[woven hollow]

and are part of the fun IMO

anyhow time to go through mortal sin on this save

[shadow glade]

You can go full game in a scientist suit that has 0 resistance to bullets but with 7 belts slots you can become GOD

[dusk vessel]

im considering increasing my stalker spawn rates

im killing too many as renegade and now all the places are just empty lmao

[hard crown]

i just like it this way. once i complete the game with lifegranter

i try with no lifegranter

and after that

i try invictus

btw i onlye ver played gamma ironman. so as i said before i dont know whats north of radar/redforest

[dusk vessel]

right now most enemies you face arent using ap all the time

youre gonna have a reality check if you go north

[shadow glade]

until radar

then shit hits the fan

[hard crown]

lmfao

well if i lose like 2 lifes in a row. and i m down to the last one i might consider using artefacts lol

[woven hollow]

even when he goes to radar

he'll get a reality check

[hard crown]

i fought monolith for freedom

at the border

they are up

[woven hollow]

even in such gear with 70% ball res i get bursted down fast

[hard crown]

op

[woven hollow]

in the north

even bandits carry AP ammo there

[hard crown]

but doable with noa rtefacts

[woven hollow]

and those fuckers commonly pack 9x39 guns

[shadow glade]

you can encounter random SIN in a bush

AND THEY WILL FUCK YOU UP

[woven hollow]

^

[shadow glade]

the pack machineguns , 9x39 , 7.62x39

and they use AP only

[woven hollow]

^

also RPG's

[hard crown]

wow very nice

[shadow glade]

and they have insane resistance to damage

[woven hollow]

lots of RPG's both in barrier defense and sin patrols

[dusk vessel]

pkm, rpg

all sorts of light machine guns

sniper rifles

and they dont miss

[shadow glade]

and ASH-12

[dusk vessel]

yeah they carry 50 cal

but subsonic ones at least

[shadow glade]

sin with these are mini bosses

[hard crown]

well ok i might consider artefacts... we ll see

[dusk vessel]

did you know, monolith have a flat damage reduction

compared to other faction enemies

[shadow glade]

they too?

[dusk vessel]

yeah but not as extreme as sin

[shadow glade]

well it does make sence

they're brainwashed and dont feel as much

[hard crown]

so what are like the ebst artefacts i should craft before going brainscorcher?

[dusk vessel]

empty

[shadow glade]

full empty

[dusk vessel]

can he even?

[hard crown]

thats it?

[dusk vessel]

i thought the full empty recepie can only be bought in jupiter

[hard crown]

i think i have an empty already

[dusk vessel]

use it

[hard crown]

loks liek a roudn rock spliut in half

[dusk vessel]

and take something that stops bleeding

[hard crown]

i think

[dusk vessel]

craft yourself tourniqits for emergency

[hard crown]

i have blootsucker pelt. gives +655 bleeding red

[shadow glade]

I dont know
i found a 54 br vest and i had a 97% giant pelt with a lvl3 plate and shit ton morphine

[hard crown]

i always go tplenty of those

minimum 8

so just with empty i m good?

[dusk vessel]

empty but make sure its on full efficiency

not like 30%

[hard crown]

empty + pelt + lvl 3 kevlar is good?

[dusk vessel]

can also get a wrenched

[hard crown]

what s that?

[dusk vessel]

make sure you bring like 5 morphine

and inject it whenever it runs out

[hard crown]

i ll bring 10

just to be sure

[dusk vessel]

road to radar is just as difficult as the brain scorcher itself imo

[hard crown]

i was considring buying thermal too

[woven hollow]

FINALLY

[hard crown]

and switch it with scope on sniper

for the road

[dusk vessel]

get a thermal for your lamp not scope

i dont think ive ever used scoped thermals

[hard crown]

how do i do that>

[dusk vessel]

crafting

[hard crown]

i got nvg lvl 2

[dusk vessel]

yeah thats enough

[hard crown]

is the termal the tan color nvg? the lvl 3?

[dusk vessel]

i would recomand going to radar in the morning

[shadow glade]

ALSO
you may need like 30 grenades for noobtube

[dusk vessel]

there isnt thermals for your nvg

only scopes but you dont need it

its more of, its kinda dark inside of the brain scorcher

and your lamp wont work really

[shadow glade]

normal grenades are fine but noobtube has more control

[dusk vessel]

tf is noobtube

[shadow glade]

UnderBarrelGrenadeLauncher

UBGL

[dusk vessel]

ah

funny name

[hard crown]

whats that

[dusk vessel]

i know what an ubgl is

[hard crown]

i got like 11 as of now

[dusk vessel]

never seen someone call it noobtube

[shadow glade]

the only reason i use UBGL is because i misclick with normal nades a lot

[dusk vessel]

im good at using normal nades

inside brain scorcher you can bounce them off walls aswell

[woven hollow]

early 2010's MW2 lobbies leetspeech

welcome

[hard crown]

i never used ubgl

[dusk vessel]

cringe

ive always been and will always be a cs player

never played console shooters

[woven hollow]

i played both in my childhood

on PC

so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i've known the slang for decades by now

[shadow glade]

I never played COD
but a frined calls them noobtubes

[shadow glade]

i hate cs now
too many rage hackers

[dusk vessel]

thats why i play faceit

got lvl10 few months ago

[shadow glade]

oh yeah

forgot about that

[valid crater]

That's the spirit. 🙂

[shadow glade]

Chimeras are still a joke
korth smokes them with a single mag

[dusk vessel]

korth is so funny

[woven hollow]

^

[dusk vessel]

if youve seen the stats

[woven hollow]

another case of actual RPG mechs in gamma

¯_(ツ)_/¯

same as with a lot of 7.62x39 guns having higher raw dmg

than their counterparts

[dusk vessel]

68 base damage

[shadow glade]

its more damaging than 5.45/5.56
because its bigger

[dusk vessel]

and then with hollowpoints like 160% damage on top of that

[dusk vessel]

rifles have like 50

[woven hollow]

i mean other stuff

i.e. BRN-180 having 41 base dmg

while draco ISG has 45

same as with k6 and its dmg compared to 45ACP guns

[shadow glade]

yeah
forgot about BRN

[woven hollow]

caliber-based damage system went out of the window long time ago

that was the case in 0.9.2 too

k6, mosin, PKM/PKP

etc.

[dusk vessel]

they gave it the base damage of a 5.56 rifle

thats 7.62x39 swapped

[woven hollow]

ye

oh welp, emission in the middle of my traversal through red forest

[shadow glade]

i still havent found my expert tools yet but i already have all the guns i need to go to sarcofagus

You're literally in the GAMMA Discord
The softest softcore modpack for the lowest scum of the Earth

It's like listening to nightcore~

[woven hollow]

880rpm go brrrrrrrr

not the funny 1100rpm of ak-105 swamp thing, but still

[graceful quiver]

guys do you know the name of the anomalous field that its near rookie village, the one surrounded by fences with a pipe that you can climb to go to the center

[woven hollow]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmge

[pallid crane]

Trash Compactor Anomaly.

[valid crater]

That's why you always have a tent with you in certain areas. 😁

[crisp turret]

bro is tenting a catastrophic event

[woven hollow]

i just hugged the bus stop

and it worked

[iron notch]

Oh shit never knew why the tent existed, didn't knew it counted as emission protection

[valid crater]

But I got killed that way once when playing Sin. Was in Radar, in the middle of the forest area and could not sprint due to leg injury from a stupid trip into an anomaly. So I placed my tent and waited, when a Chimera showed up and attacked the nearby Pseudo Giant ... was nice to watch them until the Pseudo Giant stomped too close and the tent flew away. That was a WTF moment.

i'm doing mortal sin with much less in terms of artis rn

it's just fine

i would say

[hasty sun]

Had to upgrade from bandages to tourniquets cause bleeds were fucking me up 🥲

[woven hollow]

i did this the moment i got my hands on empty+wrenched

[hasty sun]

Got the free heart of the oasis but cant repair it yet :/

So firefly for now

Oh shoot

[solemn adder]

for you people playing with mags is more inmersive or is more tedious than the experience u get?

[hasty sun]

Both

Really like the upgraded mags thing tho

[solemn adder]

what upgrade? like newer versions?

never tried it lol

wanna see if im into it from the start

[dull leaf]

Do you have to add your magazines back to your loadout everytime it runs out of ammo?

[hasty sun]

There's mags with higherer capacity, faster reloads

etc

[solemn adder]

ayo

thats it im trying it

that just the plain standard mod right

[hasty sun]

Only when i empty it

[blissful ivy]

what is buster yapping about

#╭📖faq message

Is that even in the game?

[hollow prawn]

I find it hilarious that the Glock Hornet has a total of 60% firerate increase from all the relevant upgrades
So now you can go from emptying your mag in 2.5 seconds to 1 second. Good luck controlling that recoil asshole

oh and kiss your entire wrist goodbye too

[sick yoke]

Don’t remember but I don’t think the numbers in the upgrade screen are accurate to the boost you actually get

[kindred meteor]

how often do you guys come across USING (if im spelling it right) in the north areas?

I havent come across any 🙁

[hollow prawn]

still, the fact you can get four Rate of Fire upgrades to begin with is hilarious

this thing spits more death than the Elephant's Foot

Not very often and always in very small groups

[thick sedge]

is this base gamma

[kindred meteor]

Gotcha. I wanna see if I get lucky and they drop some good loot but havent seen any at all

[thick sedge]

btw is IWP not 100% tarkov based? also 10 gigs

I don't think I can handle sloppenheimer of guns

as if Grok would add them up until 1.0

[hollow prawn]

Check Zaton, Jupiter (by the complex with all the big buildings), and Pripyat. They seem to lurk around there in my experience

[sick yoke]

Idk, probably

[hollow prawn]

my only regret with our gun selection is the fact we don't get a shitty Obrez as a starter kit gun

that'd be hilarious

[sick yoke]

Most big gun mods now are basically just “what if tarkov gun but in anomaly!!!!!!!!”

[atomic pebble]

IWP Patch 3 has an weight of 16.5 GB uncompressed.

[thick sedge]

WHERE OBREZ

[hollow prawn]

The Bandit Special

also got a question for the gun nuts here. I've got a bunch of shitty snipers I've been swiping off of dead Dutyers. I've got enough parts between them to repair one, should I get the SVDS or the OTs-03 SVU?

can I overdose on fent in this game?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING

garbage

also mercs are hostile to loners(you) in SoC

¯_(ツ)_/¯

they are hostile to scientists there too

anyhow this mod just makes them second clear sky

[novel junco]

Mercs are a loose group without a real leader

[woven hollow]

which is boring

just playing clear sky then

[novel junco]

Cant really simulate that in Anomaly

[crisp turret]

nah you can gun down anybody without penalty

they just dont shoot u

[woven hollow]

the easiest way is what's done in base anomaly and gamma

[crisp turret]

so just dont gun non enemies except when u have contracts

RP a little

[woven hollow]

just making them the bandit-aligned faction for gameplay reasons

[woven hollow]

boring

really

boring

having constant confrontations in the south is part of the fun of playing mercs in anomaly and gamma

having terrible rep too by extent

[formal mountain]

That's a thing?

I've sold like 500k of parts to ecologists

[thick sedge]

how do you even get an artifact melter if say, you are unisg or sin?

It's a loot

[woven hollow]

stashes

[hasty sun]

Dude got 232 whole rubbles baseline

[formal mountain]

I have looted like 3 by jupiter

[woven hollow]

they spawn those frequently

[formal mountain]

Never bought one

Also disguises

[tired canopy]

I've never in my life EVER sold anything to traders except maybe some mutant parts to butcher

I do it all the time in Stalker 2 but in GAMMA it's really not worth it

[hasty sun]

I'm in outskirts just trying to empty my inventory of random trash

[flint crag]

selling all weapoin parts u dont need/mutant hides and parts u dont need can give u some money but thats about it

[woven hollow]

you actually get tons of money selling leftover tools, parts and attachments

i occasionally bring 50-60k worth of attachments from Jupiter/Zaton runs

[tired canopy]

I always feel like I could need the shit so I never sell it

[celest sparrow]

that 2055 mod looks pretty fire

[woven hollow]

always sell

you'll get it later anyway

[tired canopy]

I just keep lots of weapons because that dude in Yaniv paid me like 70k for a repaired sniper so if I do that I can make easy bank

[woven hollow]

the only things i keep are mutant parts, artis and crafting materials

and repair kits

the rest goes to the vendor

and even then, artis and mutant parts go straight to fetch quests

especially artis once i fully repair them

[hasty sun]

Selling extra expert tools for me like 60k

[woven hollow]

since that's free 20-40k

That's the only reason I was able to get a Volat Emerald as soon as I started crafting artefacts

[woven hollow]

tbf i'm more or less content with 70% ball res

since that's enough to get through all of the game

be it mortal sin

or afterglow

[tired canopy]

I got a Merc ACE suit, Volat, FUll empty, Exohelm, ISG 7.62x39 rifle all fully upgraded and 500k and still haven't done Jupiter Underground

[woven hollow]

i had the same but empty+wrenched

lmao

was enough

70% ball res

i've got merc ace when prepping for mortal sin

[tired canopy]

I got it when clearing the Army Warehouses Dead City Checkpoint for the first time lmao

DIdn't realise it was good and almost threw it away

[woven hollow]

anyhow just go and complete the game already

you're overprepped

to an extreme degree

[atomic pebble]

I remember when i installed Payback and checked if there funny videos, then i found certain videos, i lobe brainrotted mods

[tired canopy]

I prefer the ISG 7.62 because of high damage and Penetration
Got the ISG 5.45 fully upgraded too because I didn't realize they were different guns so I got two fully upgraded ISG rifles now if I ever need the other + upgraded Shakal

[woven hollow]

you can blast through most of it with wanderer, apoc helmet and any 5.45/5.56 gun

running on FMJ only

[woven hollow]

i had both upgraded on that save(rest in piss with that controller blob)

but simply because i like both

went with AK-74N ISG converted to 5.56 in the end though

for easier ammo economy

5.45/5.56 take less gunpowder to make

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tired canopy]

been playing too much Stalker 2 lately (70 hours in like a week) so I'll see if I ever come around to finishing it any time soon 😅

I actually set my goal to finish GAMMA back in like August but y'know.. that didn't happen
Been on this GAMMA run since late 2024 or early '25 and still ain't halfway through

[woven hollow]

i dropped stalker 2 personally

horrendous game IMO

but you do you

[hasty sun]

Got a mutant killing mission and there is i kid you not, a bloodsucker, two psysuckers, a fracture, and two dwarves all at the same time
Wtf

[celest sparrow]

yeah some mutant killing missions will just do that

[hasty sun]

I would much rather they didn't

[celest sparrow]

[tired canopy]

Eh I put some mods in the game and quite honestly probably one of my favourite games (don't know what that says about my taste in Videogames but oh well)

Biggest problem for me is choosing between Spark and Ward since I am terrible at making decisions

[woven hollow]

a lot of mutants decided to tag along

[hasty sun]

Oh there's a chimera 10ft away too

And monolith heard the gunfire

[celest sparrow]

your taste says that you're not easily influenced by a dogshit community and enjoy things for what they are

[hasty sun]

At least they're fighting the chimera

[tired canopy]

I remember early into my game I went to Truck Cemetary to kill some dogs and I got rushed by a Pseudogiant

[thick sedge]

if you were to choose, urban, grassland, or woodland merc exosuit

[hasty sun]

This cannot continue

[celest sparrow]

You found a Woodland Merc Exo?

[thick sedge]

no I'm hoping for it

[celest sparrow]

keep hoping then

[tired canopy]

there's mutliple different colours? I just thought it was Merc, Duty, Freedom, Monolith and UNISG Exosuit/ Exoskeleton

[thick sedge]

There was a pesudogiant and it killed five of my Merc friends and I just saved then logged off

so I'm praying

[celest sparrow]

Mercenary and Duty have an awful amount of variants of the same armor class

[woven hollow]

we all have different opinions

it's fine

[serene mason]

I can't select locations on the pda map when they're on an area. any mod that fixes it?

[woven hollow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[thick sedge]

The woodland exo fits alright with my sphere-08 helmet

[thick sedge]

Is it as rare as needle in a haystack

[tired canopy]

jesus I didn't know that, that's cool
I got a merc one but I thought they only came in blue
Don't think I've even seen one wearing a green one or whatever

[celest sparrow]

It's one of the rarest armors in the game

Only a single NPC model can drop it

[warm verge]

just killed off AW with skulls squad

im playing SOC, weep gammaoids

[thick sedge]

I looked at the spreadsheet and the element resist % are

[tired canopy]

and then it got a 5% chance to even drop the damned thing... thank god the drop chances are changeable

[celest sparrow]

the correct choice

[warm verge]

idk if i should buy an exo or a skat off barkeep now

[celest sparrow]

Skat is cool

[warm verge]

idk i like wasting money

[tired canopy]

Leather jacket and sawed off is all a Stalker needs

[hasty sun]

I wonder how many times i found something crazy rare not knowing it is supposed ot be rare

[normal island]

I upgraded my GPU so maybe now I can play S2

[burnt moon]

Anyone know how to blacklist weapons to fix the sprint animation? (i.e. weapon disappearing briefly before returning to normal animation)

Can someone walk me through it in DM?

Never done it before and certain weapons bug me to death.

[celest sparrow]

There isn't a lot of things I say could be considered rare
The Duty / Military ProtoExo Skat
Gauss Rifle
AK105 Swamp Thing
Kriss Vector

[thick sedge]

100 gauss ammo and no gauss rifle be like

[warm verge]

turned the bulldog six in

[tired canopy]

Woodland Exoskeleton and maybe Mercenary ACE Suit too, idk if that's changed though

[thick sedge]

well is pathfinder Merc rare then?

I was hoping something weird happens in dead city so I can loot my own friends

[woven hollow]

not really

[formal mountain]

Does unisg nosorg drop only from unisg

[woven hollow]

spawns a lot in stashes

[tired canopy]

get high enough rep and no one will care if you stab one in the back

[formal mountain]

Can it spawn on other stalkers

[thick sedge]

you can do that?

[woven hollow]

that was in reply to merc pathfinder

not noso

[formal mountain]

Oke

[woven hollow]

nosorogs only spawn from dead bodies iirc

although that might have been changed by now

[thick sedge]

I recruited the only master merc in my team

he is holding an rpg-7 for some reason

[celest sparrow]

he was asked to bring protection

[tired canopy]

Still have not found a single RPG-7
I really want one but on the other hand a single warhead is so expensive I could buy a damn Island

Guaranteed on barrier defense

Go do that

hey, which files do I need to delete again when the kvma anomaly texture problem comes up?

So, the mix of the gamma and Anomaly item textures

I remember there were some, but i don't remember there names

i guess in the stuff you have prob merc you can hold CTRL on armors

and check full repair stats

[unique schooner]

the renegade exo is whatever tier but the merc noso is pretty good, high elec res, can lap as a merc = win

Isnt the renegade exo one of the worst

Theres a spreadsheet

how do you power it up?

[small ermine]

Drag battery to exo

[severe seal]

Yeah renegade exo is raw ass due to it having mediocre resistances and only two belt slots at base

With a cap of 4

[unique schooner]

"power it up"? the best power unit would be the one you need to craft with a battery artifact, 100% worth it, other than that, just the normal upgrades.

[severe seal]

How does that work btw, do you just charge the reactor and it automatically powers the armor from your inventory?
