10 minutes later:

[graceful quiver]

Even Cordon slows to a crawl when stalkers converge as they travel

[steep elm]

Yeah I'm still tempted to get that task auto-complete mod

[steep elm]

Especially if you build up one of the areas down there as your own personal base.

I typically decorate and build up the farm in Cordon when I play as Loner.

[quartz portal]

Just need to find a way to fix the barrel...

[hasty sun]

I've been this close to making fast travel free so many times

At least 100k down in fast travel fees

Easily

[steep elm]

bruh

If it's within the same region, I'm not fast traveling lol

I can run that distance as many times as necessary

but if I need to get like 2 regions away or something... yeah I'm fast traveling

especially if I'm loaded with loot and need to drop it all off at my stashes.

only reason I haven't grabbed the auto-complete mod yet is because apparently it fucks up stash coordinates you receive from finishing tasks.

something about messing with the areas you receive said coordinates.

[hasty sun]

Well when i'm in the CNPP and it tells me to go back to the swamp you better believe i'm not walking

[steep elm]

yeah that's more than 2 regions away

[solar moon]

uhh what happens if i merc the doctor

[steep elm]

idk, I've never tried it

[hasty sun]

♫ Driving in my car, right after a beer ♫

[harsh sandal]

Better hide your butt

[swift seal]

Am I able to craft NVG's?

[steep elm]

Yes

You gotta get the correct manuals for them, though, either through stashes, dead stalkers, or buying them from mechanics. The NVGs will be under "devices" at the workbench to craft.

[hasty sun]

Strelok really is built different

[rose musk]

that kind manouver would obliterate my american knees

[tough quail]

alright unlocked all the factions, time to do a new run

what should i play as

[kindred meteor]

Was just in red forest watching my footing and watching my back at all times, come across a bonfire where I can save, eat, fill my mags back up, and smoke a cig. Right in the middle of all that TWO fucking lurkers decided to spawn right in front of me in the middle of the cig animation

FUCK red forest

[steep elm]

I'm guessing the other factions unlock from just finishing the main story tasks?

[tough quail]

ye

[steep elm]

[steep elm]

can't have SHIT in the red forest

[kindred meteor]

Hell NAW

[tough quail]

debating starting as military or eco

[kindred meteor]

Can’t have visibility, can’t have FPS, NOTHING

[tough quail]

the only good thing about red forest is that merc/military/sinner/bandit/monolith/dutier/loner just died randomly near forester

free loot

i once arrived at that campfire and like 6 guys dead laying all over the place

one of them dropped a howa

[kindred meteor]

wish it was UNSIG

Better free loot

[tough quail]

isg died there too sometimes

[kindred meteor]

I haven’t come across any

I want their good shit

[tough quail]

merc gave me more good shits than isg funnily enough, except the noso which i never used

[marsh bridge]

how the hell do i get this stash?

[hasty sun]

I'm done 🥲

[tough quail]

im gonna play as eco and have dynamic faction relationship on

see how it goes

[kindred meteor]

I want my fucking FAL and MDR ffs. Nobody is using them

[tough quail]

i found fals from merc and mdr from isg

very rare

the rarest gun i found so far was the mutant AK dropped from a leg end monolith

[hasty sun]

Which mutant ak?

[hard crown]

Guys do you also get super low fps in jupiter station?

Usually i am around 100 fps

But when i m kn there i get like 20

[tough quail]

i sometimes get frame drop for no reason there yea

[hasty sun]

This one ?

[hard crown]

What is it fix?

[kindred meteor]

I’m rocking the AK-74 PMC

it’s been treating me well

[tough quail]

yea

[hasty sun]

Looks terrible

[tough quail]

idk really

[kindred meteor]

Just picked up a MK 18 TAN idk if I want to make the switch

[tough quail]

my final loadout

[kindred meteor]

That’s the MDR I’ve been looking for

[tough quail]

yea very rare

but really good

[hard crown]

Is the fisrt one a shotgun?

[tough quail]

ksg 23 yea

[hard crown]

Why would you ever use a shotgun in a final loadout

[tough quail]

to shoot mutants with

what else

[hard crown]

Just use an ash12 then. Its an ar. With ton of flesh damage.

[tough quail]

and it send lowly pest like bandit flying so its funny

[hasty sun]

Now that i unlocked all of those it's time to choose which flavor of fucked i'm going

[steep elm]

tbh I always play with dynamic faction relationships on. So right now Mercs are neutral with loners (my faction), yet they're enemies with both Clear Sky and Eggheads

[kindred meteor]

I have an exo but apparently the one i found sucks. I’m sticking with the merc path for now I guess

[steep elm]

probably glitched

[steep elm]

Renegade sounds like it'd be the most suffering

[tough quail]

last time i played with dynamic faction relation on loners and military somehow teamed up to fight duty and freedom collaboration

weird time in the zone

[steep elm]

lmao

[hasty sun]

Will probably go warfare mode too?
Debatable

[steep elm]

it's a neat feature to enable because you never know when shit will hit the fan between specific factions

[steep elm]

idk I've never tried warfare since I've always read it as being a buggy mess

[tough quail]

was out on a stroll and then they declared war on each other

[hasty sun]

Ah unlucky sounded like a cool idea

[tough quail]

"fuck man my base is in there"

[steep elm]

I mean warfare may work

but I just didn't wanna mess with it due to possible issues showing up

[hasty sun]

Oh i'm definitely building a shack if warfare is on

No way i put all my stuff in a base that could turn into an enemy

[tough quail]

in my defense rostok was a pretty good spot to freeload in

evicted

smh

[hasty sun]

Also for my second run i'm modding the shit out of it

Any recommendation ?

[tough quail]

i dont know what may mess up gamma so i havent really try

i was thinking about the winter mod

[hasty sun]

Same but i feel like the white is going to burn my retinas off at some point

[scenic maple]

hey guys

what does the trading supplies mission give you?

[graceful quiver]

ooh~

Haven't seen this before

[scenic maple]

unisg players get those as a starter weapon

[graceful quiver]

Sounds about right~

Would fit Merc too I think

[scenic maple]

my character keeps inspecting his hands after i wipe my visor

nvm

[tough quail]

5 minutes into eco run and already have to deal with controller

[thin orchid]

that one's a guaranteed spawn

there's also a drugmaking kit there if you haven't got it

[scenic maple]

Hey don't document stashes offer good loot?

[tough quail]

just saw it

[scenic maple]

and stashes where npcs need pdas from stashes?

last time I did one i got a protoskeleton like I said the other time

[thin orchid]

they're the same as normal stashes afaik

[scenic maple]

how did this happen in meadow though?

[graceful quiver]

[hasty sun]

Mercs can start with that last time i played

Only downside is it doesn't have full auto

[graceful quiver]

Yeah it really is a carbine in role

[tough quail]

rats

also no you didnt

[graceful quiver]

They are clearly wallhacking

[blissful ivy]

actually he did

hes in the walls

[graceful quiver]

[blissful ivy]

also egghead

[kindred meteor]

Anybody got a fix for .300 ammo not showing the damage and penetration stats?

[blissful ivy]

this mf plays ecologist

[hasty sun]

Which .300 ammo?

[blissful ivy]

blackout

the mod

i think

[tough quail]

cant a man fiddlign with spicy rocks in peace

[blissful ivy]

but either way, i dont care, because .300 blackout is stupid, and the guns that use it are better in 5.56, or if 5.56 isnt available, its not worth anything at all

[kindred meteor]

wait this is the wrong chat

my bad

[blissful ivy]

[hasty sun]

lmao

[blissful ivy]

another one for the book

[kindred meteor]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/528197562998718474/1413893212031946864/image1.gif

[graceful quiver]

lol lvling up to next rank the moment you realized it was wrong chat

[hasty sun]

Thought he was talking about .338

[blissful ivy]

real

[graceful quiver]

[blissful ivy]

you know what you just reminded me of?

.300 WIN mag

where .300

i want it now

its like between .308 and .338

i want

[hasty sun]

The Winchester is too good already it wouldn't be fair

[blissful ivy]

what?

the repeater?

[hasty sun]

Yeaaaa

[blissful ivy]

the repeater cant take win mag

[graceful quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/seseren-azur-lane-gif-13650116129216770209

[hasty sun]

Oh sad

[blissful ivy]

because .300 uses spitzers and round nose, which are too pointy

to be stored in a tube

[kindred meteor]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/528197562998718474/1415061240048255176/kidnappsegg.gif

[blissful ivy]

without the chance of detonating the gun

thats why .357/.45-70/.44 magnum is always flat nose

well ok

[hasty sun]

Should probably add 308 first before the weird in betweens

[thin orchid]

yeah as far as i can tell they are the exact same as other stashes, just with the quest item + some ammo as bonus

[blissful ivy]

technically theres the leverevolution

[kindred meteor]

im about to fucking spawn a squad of UNISG

[blissful ivy]

those rounds

[kindred meteor]

IDGF

[blissful ivy]

can be in repeaters

[last mesa]

I can’t help but think of monolith when I heard North Korea was fighting in Ukraine

[marsh bridge]

clearing out bandit base in dark valley was way easier than i remember it being

~20 bandits and they all died in 1-2 hits with a shotgun slug

[blissful ivy]

@hasty sun

[blissful ivy]

its already in gamma

these rounds can go into repeaters

[hasty sun]

Never saw it ?

[blissful ivy]

because that red nose

is soft

[blissful ivy]

7.62x51

almost the exact same round

they are interchangeable

i mean both are mediocre in ballistics

[hasty sun]

We can agree on that

[graceful quiver]

mmm, jacketed soft point~

[blissful ivy]

.308 is a shitter tbh

.30-06 is a straight upgrade

[blissful ivy]

no

its not lead or anything

the point is gel

its meant to compress like jello

[graceful quiver]

"Soft" all the same~

[blissful ivy]

almost

[graceful quiver]

But I kid

[tough quail]

you know what else is soft?

[blissful ivy]

pillows

[hasty sun]

7.62x51 already has fuck you recoil in this game not sure i'd use anything above that reliably

[tough quail]

my bones, i got jumped by 2 bloodsuckers in the underground help

https://tenor.com/view/peter-gif-9389177566264488652

[blissful ivy]

thats not what i mean by mediocre, i mean its got very poor ballistics irl, but ingame its great

theres minimal recoil

[graceful quiver]

Your bones won't be just soft, but liquefied, once they are done with you

[hasty sun]

Yeah i got that

[blissful ivy]

unless its certain guns

[blissful ivy]

skissue

https://tenor.com/view/shrimp-its-as-shrimple-as-that-not-so-shrimple-elden-ring-elden-ring-meme-gif-26027466

[hasty sun]

All the ones i tried were a bit much for me to reliably get follow up shots

7.62x39 though now that's my go to

[blissful ivy]

you use semi

and you just full auto at point blank

[hasty sun]

Well obviously yeah

[blissful ivy]

its easy enough to manage, also make sure to upgrade your guns

use the -recoil ones

makes them as controllable as 7.62x39 or 5.56

well theyre still a bit rougher than 7.62x39, but its more manageable

[hasty sun]

To me it's not only way more expensive but also overkill against most npc

And money was tight

[scenic maple]

guys

i just fixed up an sr-2m in one day

no tools

[hasty sun]

Nice

Now it's never leaving your knife slot

[spark spoke]

Lukash wants one!

[blissful ivy]

actually good point, its really easy to repair the SR-2M if it has a green barrel

[steep elm]

https://tenor.com/view/essex-gif-13144144631245152275

[blissful ivy]

[spark spoke]

Usually

[blissful ivy]

not worth giving guns to lukash

[scenic maple]

IT CAN BE ONE HANDED?!

[blissful ivy]

i mean it can be

but if its your gun, its not worth

[blissful ivy]

mhm

its a pistol slot smg

[blissful ivy]

its pretty good

[scenic maple]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[blissful ivy]

better with #1065168136577482753

[hasty sun]

This one, the MP7 and the P90 can go in your knife slot

[blissful ivy]

you get access to hollow points

[scenic maple]

if only i had a gunsmithing tool kit

[blissful ivy]

both P90s

anyways, you should try artigrok (the mod above)

its good fun

its half balanced, some ammo types arent too balanced though

[scenic maple]

tried that it and it crashed my game

[hasty sun]

I wouldn't use the base P90, integrated red dot is ass
The FN P90 is insane tho

[kindred meteor]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/817535978088169505/1026634337812221952/CF33F727-4110-4E25-81DE-2A9B8B6A27F3.gif

[blissful ivy]

you probably didnt do the instructions right

[spark spoke]

I feel like the mp9 should also be a one-handed

[blissful ivy]

both are FN

[hasty sun]

I know

[scenic maple]

hey

atro

with gunsmithing tools

[hasty sun]

But the good one is called FN P90
The bad one is just called P90

[blissful ivy]

uh huh

[blissful ivy]

yes

?

[blissful ivy]

both are good

just requires you to be closer with the regular one

dont need to aim if youre only 15-20 meters away

[hasty sun]

Not a fan of the black one personally

[scenic maple]

is it cheaper to convert 9x19 and 9x18 ap rounds ot get 5.7 and 9x21 cheaper?

[blissful ivy]

yes

[scenic maple]

i had the green one it was my favorite

[marsh bridge]

whats the differences between a seva suit and a skat9 suit
or is a skat9 suit just an upgraded seva?

[hasty sun]

It's the best one for sure

[blissful ivy]

disassembling AP ammo gives universal AP bullet parts

[scenic maple]

ok so

[blissful ivy]

but 9x21 only has AP

unless you get artigrok

[scenic maple]

for some reason cold never let me do last dawn

[hasty sun]

9x21 so good

[scenic maple]

to get gunsmithing tools

i gotta do quests for it

[blissful ivy]

which is easy to install if you do the correct steps (this is my hint at saying you should try installing it again)

[scenic maple]

no thanks

[blissful ivy]

because if you dont disable the one mod, it crashes

its simple

[scenic maple]

im still trying to figure out why last dawn wont start

the option to start it is gone

[hasty sun]

How much does it change?

[scenic maple]

and so is the option to play blackjack

[blissful ivy]

its that simple

4 whole steps

[scenic maple]

i said no dude

im talking about the last dawn quests

im trying to get a free gunsmithing kit

[tough quail]

4 too many steps

[thin orchid]

do you use a hd models mod

[blissful ivy]

ok just go to cold

[scenic maple]

yes

is that seriously why its gone

it let me do it last time

[hasty sun]

Sdalger works in mysterious ways

[scenic maple]

yall gonna answer me or be a bunch of pricks

[hasty sun]

I've got no idea

[thin orchid]

open your copy of character_desc_marsh.xml and search for cs_task0_ambush_renegade 😔

[scenic maple]

i have hd models for gamma because its stupid that the arm models use the HD but the DUX uses legs that don't even match with the character's

[thin orchid]

[scenic maple]

where

[thin orchid]

!mo2search | search for the file in the data tab on the right

[dawn marten]

@scenic mapleUse the mod name search bar to find mods in MO2, and use the mod files search bar to find which files are from which mods.
⠀

[scenic maple]

there's multiple

[thin orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-cat-huh-small-cat-huh-what-gif-2593177363967991691

just double click it

[scenic maple]

found the task in the hd model for gamma patch

[thin orchid]

is that the currently-winning copy?

[scenic maple]

[thin orchid]

no reason why cold wouldn't give you the task then 😔

[scenic maple]

only thing i got was the living legend and the meet: (important person) quest

[hasty sun]

Quick question but how do you even play renegade?
There's nothing for you north of red forest

Do you just kill random people and pray you get a stash off their corpse?

[thin orchid]

jupiter bandit base ig

[hasty sun]

Oh right

They're allied to bandits

[hollow prawn]

putting my modlist together and I found a mod for a Colt .357, but it needs Aoldri Universal Animation Scripts. Is this already included in GAMMA or do I need to grab that?

[thin orchid]

should be in gamma

[hollow prawn]

wicked, thanks

[hasty sun]

Really can't choose between playing Renegade, Sin, or Monolith
Starting north sounds like a nightmare but it would be different

None of them have quests so it shouldn't really matter

Also realizing all of my good gear came from killing Sin/Monolith so not sure where i'd get good stuff now

[tough quail]

Merc and duty have great stuff too

[hasty sun]

Guess i'm raiding Rostok every few days

I'm going WP weapons this run anyway

From the chart in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat i see monolith vendors just stock everything?

Bothered unlocking all the new factions manually by doing the quest lines just to play a rock licker anyway

[scenic maple]

Still can’t get gunsmith tool from cold 🙁

[spark spoke]

Just do like 30 loner quests, one is bound to turn up

[graceful quiver]

Yeah, I got like 5 gunsmithing tools lol

[hasty sun]

Trying Arrivals out and burners are legit invisible
Very icky, no good

[graceful quiver]

Should get an anomaly detector for those fucks

[hasty sun]

Brother this character is 20 minutes old

And there's a bunch of dead UNISG with that and a SCAR

[blissful ivy]

too bad thats the ugliest gun in the game

i hate it

wait no

thats not the one

[hasty sun]

Yo this is a monster
Took out the loner base in outskirt like it was nothing

[blissful ivy]

thats the VSS

isnt it

i should play again

[hasty sun]

It's the US made VSS yeah

[blissful ivy]

yeah ok so not the RD939

that thing is an abyssmal piece of shit

or it got a new icon

idk

[rose musk]

finally a backup

[hasty sun]

No there's just multiple

[rose musk]

thank you mr legend

[blissful ivy]

the RD939 is a gun made by slopkov for slopkov players

but that thing (US VSS) is ok

i mean the RD939 is the best 9x39 gun yes, but its ugly, feels like shit, and the AMB looks better

they perform about the same though

and i get amb first 9/10 times

[hasty sun]

9x39 feel like airsoft guns to me

No noise, you can see the bullet

[blissful ivy]

i mean the seeing the bullet thing shouldnt be a thing unless its a tracer

and it should be faster than it is ingame too

but if it isnt that slow, then it wouldnt affect anything

[hasty sun]

In game i mean

[blissful ivy]

so the bullet goes so slow ingame

yes i mean ingame

the fact you can see non tracer rounds moving

is the funny thing

[analog palm]

im quite sure you can actually see subsonic rounds flying irl

[blissful ivy]

im not sure about that

[analog palm]

i mean, it'll be a blur, but you'll register them, vs normal stuff that's just sonic crack

[blissful ivy]

usually you register them if its humid

or if theres some other conditions

because the bullet will disrupt the humid air, and you can see it much better

but on a clear, dry day, you wont see them much

[analog palm]

i remember a hickock vid where you could see .45s flying downrange

[blissful ivy]

true

but i mean, they dont fucking glow

like in gamma

which is hilarious

9x39 are basically tracers

with how projectiles are handled at that speed

but in gamma you can also see supersonic projectiles sometimes

a blur

[analog palm]

eh anyway, this

there's a 44 round version with integrated red dot

i dont think it spawns but it's really cool

[blissful ivy]

it doesnt afaik

sad day

i think it should

but the base one has 40 round mags

so who cares

[rose musk]

well I managed to clear the scientists base in yantar, only had to use one stimpack

downside is I have no .45 or 9x19 anymore

[blissful ivy]

[rose musk]

[blissful ivy]

just throw grenades next time

[rose musk]

I threw 4

[blissful ivy]

copious amounts of explosives

[rose musk]

the only 4 I had

[blissful ivy]

ok thats a skill issue

[rose musk]

got 3 more back in my stash

[blissful ivy]

just kill more people

i carry all my grenades

why leave them at home

when i can use them

[rose musk]

issue was I got the guys up by MM

they aggroed for god knows what reason

[blissful ivy]

who cares?

you already killed the rest

free loot

[analog palm]

while model shows 20

[rose musk]

They arrived halfway through the fight?

[blissful ivy]

mhm

[rose musk]

and not when they were all dead

[blissful ivy]

more loot

[rose musk]

lol

[blissful ivy]

still more loot.

i love when my fights actively get more challenging

[analog palm]

mismatching model mag, and stat mag, is one of very few 'muh realism' things that actually bother me

[blissful ivy]

unless its black road, which it usually is

in which case its annoying

[analog palm]

even in black road, if you have ammo to spare, more loot

[rose musk]

it's def nice even with isolated and hated

but god that was a stupid fight to take with what I had

[blissful ivy]

which i usually dont XDDD

i usually dont even have a gun

because i just died

so no ammo

[rose musk]

back to back rf packages in yantar

[scenic maple]

question

[hasty sun]

Are rf packages worth doing ?

[rose musk]

depends on what part of the game you're in

regular game anything past a few days I don't think i've ever done one

they can have some really good stuff tho

[scenic maple]

what are the chances of getting a yellow stash when completing a quest? i forgot how many missions youhave to do to get a stash

[graceful quiver]

In a white stash by Burnt House

[scenic maple]

6 Tasks right?

[scenic maple]

damn

[graceful quiver]

[rose musk]

wtf

craziest rf package in a while

[graceful quiver]

I now literally have every toolkit

[graceful quiver]

One abundant RF package~

[rose musk]

7

7th task spawns the yellow

[scenic maple]

for some reason artefact melters can also be used like a set of basic tools

[blissful ivy]

thats nice to know

thanks

im gonna use that if i get one before basics in black road

[rose musk]

time to take an hour to haul these bad boys back t obase

shoulda brought my cocaine but I stashed it

[blissful ivy]

good for you, i have nothing

literally

im hiding on a roof, waiting for someone to get shot

so i can rob their shit

so its just a waiting game

i should find a better place to wait

this roof is exposed

[rose musk]

that was me like 12 hours ago

[blissful ivy]

are you playing blackroad too?

[rose musk]

Yeah

glad I found that backup helmet earlier

[blissful ivy]

i see multiple flashlights here in wild territory

stalkers

that means people

that can be shot

by other stalkers

i spawned in WT

i love WT

[rose musk]

I got a day one knife loot out in the open

unimaginably lucky

[blissful ivy]

i get the most progression here, just need a dead man

and a kar98

because i have 12 rounds

for it

i also got lucky and found a light armor kit

so if i find a decent light armor, which is plausible with mercs around, i can fix it

if its 50% or more ofc

which... it never is

so i need a toolkit

still a good find, whatever

i hear people coming from 2 directions, lets hope theyre enemies, yes?

[rose musk]

tossup in wt

[blissful ivy]

yeah it is, also it turns out, one of the "freedomers" is a loner

so the group is 2/3 freedom, 1/3 loner, thats a good sign

means the mercs will try to kill the loner

which is good, means either A. the loner dies, and i take his shit, or B. the mercs are miraculously killed by this loner, and i get the loot from those 2

only issue is that i think the sniper merc will shoot at me, if hes killed by the mercs

but that doesnt mean its impossible

[grave pivot]

Do you still suffer psy damage if you go to limansk without dealing with the Brain Scorcher?

[rose musk]

home sweet home

[blissful ivy]

surprisingly low amount of conflict

the mercs didnt shoot at the loner

nothing is happening first night

in wild territory no less

[blissful ivy]

yes

construction site mercs are slacking bro, whenever i show my face for 2 milliseconds theyre shooting me, this mf just ignores the loner blatently walking around in his sight

dickheads i swear

[scenic maple]

GUYS

I GOT A YELLOW STASH IN SEARCH THE STASH MISSION

[blissful ivy]

@rose musk MY POINT PROVEN

I RAN PAST

AND HE FUCKING SHOT AT ME

BUT THE BASTARD IGNORES THE OTHER RETARD

RAHH

[scenic maple]

guys

its in garbage

[blissful ivy]

number one opp

[rose musk]

so a thing i've started doing although it only works if you have a suppresor

[blissful ivy]

ok

good chance for basic tools

or the ammo/drug kits

[rose musk]

you can shoot a wall near em and it will "activate" npc's that aren't attacking eachother that should be

[blissful ivy]

no gun

[scenic maple]

what about armor?

[rose musk]

yeah

[blissful ivy]

meh i dont get armor from stashes

i shoot people.

[blissful ivy]

if i had a gun, the merc wouldnt be living

put it that way

[scenic maple]

i did. If i can somehow get a monolith protskeleton in a meadows stash, I can get something good.

[rose musk]

been putting in some work with this axe

[blissful ivy]

id take a knife too, can sneak up on the construction mercs

but nothing on me

at all

[scenic maple]

yo wtf lmao, I think I was playing as monolithian or sinner but this dude got fucked up by a giant lmao

[median badger]

All questlines completed, 1800 stalkers killed, no TOZ-194

[cedar dirge]

Does the GOG release of GAMMA auto updates or do I still get to fiddle with Mod Organizer

[blissful ivy]

FIGHTING

YES

PEOPLE DYING

LETS GO

ive been afk watching youtube, hiding in a truck, for like 4 min

no, like 10 min

[analog palm]

@blissful ivy tuck cemetery to dark valley, from pressing yes at transition to loading finishing, took 47 seconds

[blissful ivy]

you got a double digit time??

good for you

mine are usually low triple digits

90-110 seconds

but i cant test yet

took like 4 ingame hours, but people are dying now

so thats a W

[analog palm]

black road cannot stop me from murder >:3

[blissful ivy]

it can stop me

until i get a handgun or something, then its over

[analog palm]

got lucky with a saiga drop and wiped the bandits with that

[blissful ivy]

once i get a functional (yellow barrel or better) firearm, its over for those mercenary assclowns

[analog palm]

have eots too

[blissful ivy]

That sr2m is a wild find

[analog palm]

dark valley is a goldmine

[blissful ivy]

Also who gives a shit about the eots i just think that sr-2m is peam

Favorite gun for pistol slot

[analog palm]

can wipe the military around lab relatively safely if you start from the top

[scenic maple]

guys

[blissful ivy]

Start from top?

How? Teach me your secrets

[scenic maple]

guh?

talking to me?

[blissful ivy]

No

Idc about the stash, i need sabs secrets

[analog palm]

ledge grab here

it's real goddamn finicky though

gotta become jesus

stand on 2 pixels of overhang

[scenic maple]

what does this even mean

[analog palm]

no idea

this is also an option but the garage building is often super radioactive

[scenic maple]

I remember someone saying that its better to collect patches for non essential npcs is that true?

[hollow prawn]

Elaborate?

[scenic maple]

You gather a specific amount of patches for an npc (Example:A loner wanting bandit patches) and they pay you for it

[hollow prawn]

I got that, but what do you mean by non-essential NPCs

Are you talking about like
Doing patch gathering quests for random stalkers vs traders?

[scenic maple]

random stalkers

i just found a damn p90 in cordon

[grave pivot]

Magpul my beloved

[analog palm]

i dont think rewards depend on the giver

unless it's a special version of the task

[hollow wadi]

Oh no, it's true that regular stalkers give out better rewards for patch fetching

They give money and an arty vs just money

[analog palm]

damn

[hasty sun]

I'm just done with the UNISG quest line and i've seen one of those the entire time

[blissful ivy]

artifact nearby

[hasty sun]

Not sure what the point of it is since artifacts only pop up in anomalies anyway

[fringe sinew]

favorite all the patches you find and just keep them in your inventory, teyre weightless

whenever a fetc h quest for them appears you can instantly complete it

easy money and rep

better than just selling them

[hollow prawn]

Or you can roll the dice with the mercs

[fringe sinew]

yep

[hasty sun]

How does this thing shred so much
it's so good

I'm killing people in exos with this

[rose musk]

pistol ap boolets slept on at large

[hasty sun]

Don't even have ap shots

Character is 30 mins old i can't afford that

Automatic but rof slow enough i can just mag dump

Next to no recoil

Real accurate for what it is

[blissful ivy]

not true

random perk artifacts

before it was added, running around with detector out was a legit strategy

[hasty sun]

Never saw one of those outside of an anomaly?

[blissful ivy]

for free artis

also sometimes

[hasty sun]

They're just not invisible

[blissful ivy]

grav anomalies

will toss the artifact out

[hasty sun]

I guess

[blissful ivy]

meaning you can find artis in the middle of nowhere

in truck cemetery, i found 5

in random places

[hasty sun]

name

[hollow prawn]

Anyone know if there’s a way to change my stalker name after starting the run? Just realized it got reset to Stalker in the character creator and the menu in settings isn’t saving for some reason

[blissful ivy]

the thing in settings is all i know

which should work

[hollow prawn]

Guess I’m just John Stalker now

[fringe sinew]

press enter after typing it

[hollow prawn]

Chaps I might be stupid lol

Thanks

[fringe sinew]

NO YOURE NOT BECAUSE IN THE NEW GAME YOU DONT HAVE TO

BUT FOR SOME FUCKING REASON

IN THE SETTINGS MENU YOU HAVE TO

AND IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO REALIZE HOW TO DO THIS

CAUSE ALMOST NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THIS

[analog palm]

i always use "stalked" as name

lore is that im a demon possessing some poor dude

and game saves/reloads are me just seeing into the future

[hollow prawn]

Honestly I may just call myself Gunsmith, not even three hours in and I have an almost functional AK

Just need a new bolt and trigger

[thick sedge]

[blissful ivy]

i might call myself stalker #23

because thats what this blackroad nonsense is turning into

[grave pivot]

got into the entire of X-19

[blissful ivy]

just a bunch of dying

XDD

its fun dying

[grave pivot]

they cant catch the amount of swagger i have

Gremlin in standard grunt uniform

[hasty sun]

Cursed as hell

Tried opening Forester's door as Monolith and i don't speak the language but i'm pretty sure he called me retarded

[hasty sun]

Out of every other ammo, let's see if this can win a 3rd world war

[valid crater]

Should work to open it if you disguise as some forester friendly faction.

[hasty sun]

Good to know

Let's see who's retarded now

[solar moon]

do yall play with fast travel on or off

[marsh bridge]

reload is pretty quick too

if you find a suppressor for it and a red dot you wont need another pistol caliber gun until maybe lategame where you'd swap it out for a vector or something

though i like my mp5s so i stick with them

[hasty sun]

Last run i found an UMP doing the gatekeeper event and i never took it off

Probably would if i found a vector but i didn't

[marsh bridge]

gonna fix up the 50rnd tommy gun i found and fuck around with that for a bit whenever i feel like getting on gamma again

[hasty sun]

Only problem with that gun is no optics

sadly

[marsh bridge]

went to dead city to do 4 different quests and 3 of them were at the fucking schoolhouse that i didnt realize has a psy field around it until i got there
i just went into godmode and did the missions anyway but that pissed me off a little bit so im probably not gonna touch gamma for a little

is this dutys skat9? or is this something else

i found a bandit skat9 and was going to trade it for a duty one but im not sure if i already have dutys skat9 suit

[wanton sail]

heyo, can someone help me with disabling the option that doesnt let loot npc kills ? can't find it anywhere

[cursive sparrow]

it's in the mod organizer, try filtering for NPC in the list

@wanton sail I found it it's 311- NPC Stop Looting Dead Bodies in the Optional category

[wanton sail]

thank you ! do you also know where i can find what's binded to the Z key ? i've asked here before but i can't search for my messages anymore, i binded prone on it but if i hold it it gives me a radial menu, any idea what that is ?

[cursive sparrow]

the quick action wheel is on Z - you can find the bindings in the MCM then find Quick Action Wheel on the left

[wanton sail]

thank you very much sir !

[lavish delta]

Can anyone show their absolute endgame equipments?

[brisk warren]

i havent used the udp for a while

when/why was the rate of fire obliterated

[hollow wadi]

Wdym

[brisk warren]

the rate of fire on it is terrible now

it used to be pretty good

now its like 300rpm

[near estuary]

wasn't it always like 350

[brisk warren]

no i used it in the time when you could start with it as a merc

had a way higher rpm

like normalish 600 or so

[near estuary]

u sure you're not confusing it with the MP5?

[hollow wadi]

No, UDP is pretty distinct, since it's semi-auto

At most you get a burst fire but by then you'll probably get a better gun going

[near estuary]

it does say 800 RPM in the 0.9.3 section
I never really used it

so there you have it
0.9.4

[brisk warren]

it used to be really good because with just advanced tools you can give it burst fire and convert it to 45

higher mag capacity/accuracy/better scopes than a ump

[hollow wadi]

Probably nerfed for that reason

[brisk warren]

more common than a ump or a frasier

[hollow wadi]

It shouldn't be better than a rarer gun

[near estuary]

yeah then it's no wonder it got nerfed

[brisk warren]

true but you couldve moved one or both of those to expert tools or something

now the gun is kind of just terrible

[near estuary]

it's an A kit gun

like

what do you want

[brisk warren]

it to be better than any other a kit 9mm

[near estuary]

but why

[brisk warren]

its rarer than most of them and you cant start with it

vOv

[hollow wadi]

Get an MP5A3 and go to Nimble, get a Frasier?
Grok literally does not want starting guns to be able to outperform rare drop only guns

[dusk vessel]

udp had 47 base damage compared to 56 base damage on fraiser for example

so youre still getting less from the .45 per bullet but

mag size matters, so does obtainability

[hollow wadi]

Which is why something like the 7.92 Mauser is shite, despite its "real world" performance proving it'd outshine many guns in the zone

[near estuary]

you can still convert it to .45, no?

[grave pivot]

After being manhandled nearly a dozen times by Monolith, i did it!!!1!!1!!!!111!11 :DDDDDD

[hollow wadi]

Inb4 forgets to heal torso and dies

But congrats

[dusk vessel]

in terms of ballistics it would outshine everything thats not a .338 lapua

[tired spindle]

Damn gamma difficulty jump to kill enemies from small to medium is insane imma stay on easy lol

[dusk vessel]

but its not realistic and thats fine

[grave pivot]

that screenshot was shortly before a Monolith snuck up on me and killed me with a few shots

[grave pivot]

hard is the shit

[hollow wadi]

It's not even that harsh of a jump
Let's see

!difficulty

[dawn marten]

@hollow wadi GAMMA has hidden damage modifiers based on your chosen presets when you start a game. These can only be changed by starting a new game and can't be changed mid-playthrough. For more details on what the gameplay and progression difficulty settings are, see this link https://github.com/veerserif/GAMMA-manual/wiki/Difficulty-presets

[grave pivot]

this one Mono in an exoskeleton managed to kill me by just Elbow'ing my ahh

[grave pivot]

but theres nothing wrong on playing on easier difficulties, play however you like

[hollow wadi]

Yeah you still don't take the full damage and still do a lot more than usual

[near estuary]

offtopic but it kinda fascinates me when FNV vanilla purists frown upon things like modding sprinting into the game but then abuse the simplest bugs to completely break the game's economy in 5 minutes

[tired spindle]

Bro it does not even feel realistic anymore when u shoot enemy to the head 3 times and they don't die

[hollow wadi]

Sounds like Josta

[near estuary]

he did that?
I just thought he was insufferable for no reason

[hollow wadi]

Yeah welcome to GAMMA

[grave pivot]

thats fair, but i like getting turned to swiss cheese

[hollow wadi]

He did that with Invictus

Despite earning his Invictus role through furniture cheese

[tired spindle]

Either that or I feel like weapon mods damage value are not accurate

[hollow wadi]

Pay attention to your gun barrel condition and make sure you're not using HP ammo on armoured guys

[grave pivot]

i find it hilarious when i see people shit on newer games, saying that older games are better but thier examples are just heavily modded playthroughs

[grave pivot]

oh yeah, if you are complaining about dying to a few shots, just dont get hit

[hollow wadi]

As a public reminder

!gunstats

[dawn marten]

@hollow wadi read this: #╭📖faq message

[lavish delta]

Thats ... Not endgame

[grave pivot]

im currently relying on my reaction time as a crutch, and a lot of prayer

[dusk vessel]

using cover is pretty vital

if you find a good cover spot you can take out 20 guys without getting hit once

[near estuary]

literally is

two blasts from a double barrel shotgun

https://tenor.com/view/joe-biden-presidential-debate-huh-confused-gif-9508832355999336631

is there a mod for duel weilding guns?

where youre locked to hipfire with less accuracy or sm

[thin orchid]

no

[rose musk]

dual wielding hornets is my dream

an old pic from 2 years back. This is the closest pic of my old gameplay thats near endgame

[rose musk]

[manic oriole]

That arc was really confusing but I don't mean it as she's bad, just not my favorite

[thick sedge]

is this real

[grave pivot]

Renegade, and kill everyone

[quasi grove]

hmm howa 20 vs fn2000 which would you guys say is better?

[mild wing]

fn2000 takes the noob tube if you're into that

and the burst mode is nice i guess

[harsh sandal]

It is

[mild wing]

not recommended but plausible

[grave pivot]

I prefer smth with more stopping power like battle rifles n stuff bc of Exoskeletons and Nosorogs

[mild wing]

fn2000 with AP is more than enough for every single human enemy

[short plume]

huh, bet thats a high price

[grave pivot]

Personal choice ig, i rather shoot a few rounds of 7.62x51 ap than mag dump a guy with 5.56 ap

[mild wing]

it takes like 4 or 5 to the same spot and the nosorog is gone

but yeah, it's up to preference

[grave pivot]

My playstyle is more of a Marksman, preffering to make a few accurate shots rather than spraying and praying. Style developed after having a Mosin be my main gun for 1/2 of my playthrough

[grave pivot]

Head or torso?

[tough quail]

walked into dark valley and immediately get greeted by 6 dogs

fuck this place

[grave pivot]

Juke them :D

Whenever i dodge a charging mutant i just go "¡Olé!" Like im some Matador

[tough quail]

i jumped onto a nearby rock and then they swarmed an unlucky bandit nearby

rest in piss

why are there so many bandit in this run of mine

they completely control the garbage, even the check point where duty like to stay and the hangar

[grave pivot]

Thats odd, There are rarely any bandits in mine except for Dark valley

Hell, i encounter mercs more than Bandits

[tough quail]

and darkvalley is half filled with renegade for some reason

[grave pivot]

More people to kill then

[tough quail]

play eco but the road is filled with bandit anyway

pacifist my ass

[frigid gyro]

Hey guys not directly related to gamma ... but is there a modpack thats recommended for playing warfare? as Gamma is not really the best way to do it

[idle kelp]

Isn't there a mod to improve Warfare for GAMMA?

[frigid gyro]

there is? i only remeber getting told gamma and warfare will probably not work together

[dusk vessel]

it causes immense lag

[idle kelp]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1172337845025919006

I wanna try this at some point

Looks fun

[thick sedge]

do companions accept fast pre heal items like stimpacks and do they heal faster with better medkits

I was about to test it but I have like 4 red kits already for my guy

I wanna get this one random guy to Master after Veteran

[quasi grove]

damn i have a trouble deciding what to take people say fn f2000 is better but howa 20 does have higher stats

[tough quail]

wtf

[quasi grove]

someone bout to have a bad day

[fringe sinew]

fighting military and duty at the same time and i just assembled a whole ak 101 mid fight this game might be peak

[thick sedge]

burst melts

keep both, but burst melts (1)

[quasi grove]

don't both have burst?

[thick sedge]

I don't know man I never gotten a chance to get a Howa

[quasi grove]

funnily enough i got both at the same time

[thick sedge]

Howa has (just) burst while F2000 has hyperburst

hyperburst genuine melter

[quasi grove]

ah yeah that it does

explains a lot

[thick sedge]

from where or who? damn

[quasi grove]

recruited 2 followers at yanov they had f2000 and howa so they had a meeting of the first kind with a pack of pseudogiants

[thick sedge]

so you basically invited them to death for their weapon to accidently drop

[quasi grove]

i mean weapons are guarnateed to drop

but considering that i suppose i can kiss nosorog goodbye i think i used up all of my luck

[dusk vessel]

Nosorgs are overrated

[thick sedge]

I should do that next time

[grave pivot]

Witch!

[grave pivot]

But from my honest review, since i think i chose easy for my last playthrough years ago, i think its fun despite the challenge. It taught me to prioritize Headshots more. Headshots on armored enemies still do more damage, no? I know exposed headgear or seva suited stalkers get insta killed with headshots.

[placid root]

if u dont shoot 9x18 or fight a roided up exo suit headshots will still kill instantly

[grave pivot]

All the Monoliths i fight are Roided up exo suiters

[hollow marlin]

Lego building ahh animation

[lethal patrol]

hmm

[dusk vessel]

skeleton key? mario party?

[green gyro]

What does the credit card do?

This is the lootbox mod right?

[green gyro]

Ah

[lethal patrol]

1 skeleton key left

[green gyro]

Definitely getting that for next playthrough tbh

[lethal patrol]

it gave me 150 7.62x51 ap

[dusk vessel]

doesent it completely break progression

[green gyro]

I'm sure it does

Fun though

[lethal patrol]

with the gamma patch, not really
if youre talking about the diamond version, then yeah

[dusk vessel]

i dont know what either of those do

[green gyro]

Which one are you using?

[dusk vessel]

not familiar with the mod

[lethal patrol]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1042368127834542131

[green gyro]

do you know if this is a standalone edited mod or an actual patch?

[lethal patrol]

standalone

[green gyro]

thank you

[lethal patrol]

just download and install via mo2

[boreal sparrow]

Does these weather settings even do anything?

[dusk vessel]

wait what

there is a drug making kit in the bandit base, i wonder if its also a hardspawn

i forgot if its soc or clear sky but you rescue a dutier from there

[random grail]

Random spawn

[dusk vessel]

aw

i know the one in agroprom underground always spawns

[random grail]

The only guaranteed one is in agroprom underground

[brazen dove]

what is the best 7.62x39 gun? i have the mutant and the isg draco but idk if there are any better ones

[dusk vessel]

its probably the mutant tbh

[frigid gyro]

where in apogrom underground does it spawn?

[cursive sparrow]

same question as above 😄 where can one find this ilustrious item

effective hp anyway
idk if it's technically higher hp or resistances

[near estuary]

try looking at the moddb page of the mod

[scenic maple]

my current set up (i am yet to move up north)

i managed to find this 9A-91 with a good barrel

grok has blessed me

[fringe sinew]

does stalker gamma have combat music lowkey too lazy to check

[scenic maple]

it does have good 'feels' music

but no

[dusk vessel]

dont think so

[steep elm]

No, not be default. There is a combat music mod you can download though.

[fringe sinew]

yeah im setting it up

[serene mason]

Did enemy awareness get nerfed over the last patches or something? I'm on the military base at cordon, at night, and I was able to headshot with my sniper rifle almost everyone before they started reacting.

[graceful quiver]

Is there just one in Anomaly's list, or is there a recommended one among many?

[steep elm]

I think it was Drunk's Combat Music.

[graceful quiver]

Alright, will take a look

Been wanting combat music at times

[spark spoke]

Is there any way to get north when doing black road revisited I&H?

[scenic maple]

GUYS

yello stash in army warehouse

i can finally advance

[hollow pecan]

Sakharov at Yantar's Ecologist bunker should sell one. Not sure if it depends on goodwill level though.

[scenic maple]

or in rare cases

find one in a stash

[hollow pecan]

You been just getting 9x39 through Spirit right? He's normally the best source of rifle ammo early since low goodwill levels, vendors won't sell you the ammo.

[scenic maple]

no i've been using a gunsmith tool

5.45 and 7.62x39 into 9x39 and 9x18ap into 9x21

[hollow pecan]

Ah okay, that's fine then. If you get low on materials to craft, you can switch to buying alcohol in bulk and trade it off to Spirit in Yantar for 9x39 ammo instead.

[scenic maple]

i might if i don't get a advanced tool kit from this AW stash

ok i have the 9a-91 should i use that for armorless bandits and my sr-2m for armored guys since thats ap

[hollow pecan]

Can use the 9A-91 for armored too, 9x39 is quite effective even when it is just FMJ rounds against armored enemies. You keep the SR2M as a backup most the time in case you run dry on your primary in the middle of a gunfight (which with 9x39 rifles, happens often).

[dusk vessel]

bandits take more ap too

[woven hollow]

gunsmithing kit in your inventory nullifies any ammo worries

[dusk vessel]

as in, on the same armour set a bandit will take more ap damage from you

[woven hollow]

you can buy HP 5.45/5.56 from butcher and forester

trade 5.45 for vodka

[scenic maple]

yeah and if you wanna use nato weapons

[woven hollow]

and other things

[dusk vessel]

bandits take 110% ap

its too funny

[woven hollow]

you just disassemble everything and recraft it into 5.56

lmao

https://tenor.com/view/mambo-umamusume-uma-musume-observing-observing-meme-gif-1610715111742355051

5.45 and 5.56 are extremely efficient

due to their crafting recipes being 1:1 on mats

unlike larger bore calibers that take more

i.e. 7.62x39 FMJ taking 30 gunpowder per craft

[frigid gyro]

awesome...ly bad location ... arent there like burers and controllers inside there? at least last time i was there i had some trouble
thanks for the location

[formal mountain]

disassemble WP ammo and lose 25% component to then convert it into 5.56 with ammo toolkit

[scenic maple]

hey guys

should i fix heavy brown overcoat or UNISG LC suit

[graceful quiver]

A white stash no less

[woven hollow]

none

[formal mountain]

these sound like light armour pieces

probably none indeed

[scenic maple]

they're medium

[formal mountain]

mmm

[scenic maple]

and also

[formal mountain]

then unisg prob

[woven hollow]

unisg LS is just merc LS but with medium tag

[scenic maple]

i have the starter light cs armor

[woven hollow]

bait armour

overcoats are also bait

[formal mountain]

oh it's that one

yeah skip it

[woven hollow]

just grab any berill off of dead military

or any seva variant

which are abundant in stashes

bonus points if you find a wastelander

the best of both worlds

this thing will easily last you into late game

if you don't want to craft heavy repair kit through adv tools recipe
