[steep elm]

Oh hey that's me right now

was lucky enough to loot one off a dead loner

[woven hollow]

i smh loot it on day 1

on every save i make

[steep elm]

lmao

[woven hollow]

and if i don't i grab any berill variant from dead military/duty/freedom/bandit

my 0.9.4 loner save was actually with the bandit berill

into wastelander, into eventual hybrid and merc ace

[hasty sun]

Starting in the north with a 9mm and a .45 when the mission wants me to kill a master Duty guy in an exoskeleton

[steep elm]

yea I'm a lil stacked atm

[scenic maple]

is the suneet tactical suit bait?

[hasty sun]

Man two pistols

[graceful quiver]

A jacket, a pistol and a dream indeed~

[steep elm]

ngl I've been holding onto that "Rolex" pistol just to sell to whichever trader will take it; haven't found one yet, so it's been chilling for a while.

(I play with Blackmarket on)

[hasty sun]

Literally

[graceful quiver]

Didn't think Black Market and mags on would make my experience a lot more interesting but here we are

[steep elm]

I'm still tempted to mess around with mags, but I also feel conflicted about dealing with it

so eh

[graceful quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/pacha-perfect-emperors-new-groove-very-good-gif-5346522

Having a similar progression flow right now even though I am playing CS

[hasty sun]

Why is everyone a fucking legend over here 😭

[graceful quiver]

Just gotta stack difficulty aspects in just the right way I suppose

[hasty sun]

I legit had to do a mission by sneaking in at night, mag dumping one guy to death and then running away

Hey guys 👋

[graceful quiver]

The intended gamba experience

[hasty sun]

Been using stealth like crazy

Bye guys 👋

[graceful quiver]

A stealth a day keeps an assassin at bay~

[sharp schooner]

what does that even say

[quasi lance]

Come to me

[sharp schooner]

why are they covered in black ink

[quasi lance]

Its not black ink

He's a machine

Thats oil

[hasty sun]

If you've ever been to the CNPP you've heard what this says

[quasi lance]

😌

[woven hollow]

freebie

[sharp schooner]

what is the crystal above him the wish granter?

[woven hollow]

ИДИ КО МНЕ

[sharp schooner]

what

[quasi lance]

Yes

Frkm STALKER 2

[sharp schooner]

sorry for the questions

it is pretty cool tho

[quasi lance]

Nah its fine

[sharp schooner]

👍

[quasi lance]

Was a birthday gift :3

[sharp schooner]

well

fuck

why didny yo usay that

happy brithday

[quasi lance]

I also just got a shotgun :3

Stalkers tremble upon the might of the old double barrel

[graceful quiver]

Thanks for pointing it out. Seems to work nicely and with a fine selection of tracks.

[steep elm]

no prob

[graceful quiver]

How many 7.62x25 HP round did that take?

[sharp schooner]

shot yun

[thick sedge]

what the ASS

[woven hollow]

30

lmao

LRNPC busted as usual

[graceful quiver]

Yeah LRNPC is a solid HP choice

Wish there were more 7.62x25 weapon choices though

[thick sedge]

is lrnpc cheap to craft

[graceful quiver]

It's the main reason I don't use it unless have to

It's the cheapest cost tier, 15-15-15

[thick sedge]

bruh

I found a ppsh but didn't yoinked it

[graceful quiver]

PPSh early game when you had nothing is definitely a vibe

Would appreciate having the PPS as well like someone mentioned before

[thick sedge]

idk how many .357 rounds does it take to kill one

[graceful quiver]

Would be like the PDP to the MP5

[thick sedge]

I found my favorite pistol the Coonan

[quartz violet]

any pistol ammo is cheap to craft lul

[graceful quiver]

Keep that Coonan until you find DEagle

[quartz violet]

if u have mags active then you can get 13 rounders for that

[graceful quiver]

It'll serve you well

[thick sedge]

it's defo a NATO pistol right

good thing I enabled it

[quartz violet]

why? do you play with blackmarket?

[thick sedge]

there are no mags distribution in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat pin smh my head

[thick sedge]

no, idk if my nato trader sells magazine for said gun

[quartz violet]

you won't find them sold

kill higher ranking mercenaries if you can

[quasi lance]

Its a 150yo double barrel

[quartz violet]

they will have extendo mags

and lots of coonans

[thick sedge]

damn

[quartz violet]

i mean lots of them

[quasi lance]

The world isnt ready for my shotgun shenanigans

[thick sedge]

well this game is being "nice" to me by making fake-warfare of 10 different people shooting each other in the bloodsucker village of AW in day 1

all of them veterans too

I don't know why it's funny that you can loot same faction corpses or neutral corpses

[woven hollow]

it's cheap to everything

craft, buy

butcher sells it in bulk for a very low price

[graceful quiver]

Butcher is a G for supplying everyone with base necessities at dirt cheap prices

And all he asks for is for you to go hunt some muties!

[green gyro]

LETS GO

first ever chimera hide lmao and its 98

[graceful quiver]

[hollow prawn]

Hypothetical question: is it possible to cause a civil war in a faction if you kill enough of them wearing their own uniform. For example, killing a ton of bandits dressed as a bandit

[dusk vessel]

also good place to offload a bunch of mutant meat

i always stop by butcher to grab hp rounds, coffee beans and sharpening stones

[blissful ivy]

i stop by butcher to buy his stock of HP ammo to make cheap fmj

and sometimes sharpening stones and other necessities

[graceful quiver]

Just make a fridge and put it by Butcher's shop lol

[blissful ivy]

gamma is funny to me, its the one game that makes me wish there were gun sold by certain vendors, but also hopes they never are

im bipolar for weapon sales

one minute i want to buy them, on the other i dont

[rose musk]

it would feel amazing to buy one but would feel instantly terrible if you actually did

[thick sedge]

"well that was easy"

[blissful ivy]

it would be really funny, if you could buy them, but they are like a dialogue with random chances

you can ask for X type of weapon

but the condition and weapon is random

kinda like sire melk in darktide

you just pay 250 token things for random weapon

[thick sedge]

could work if you have enough rep too

[graceful quiver]

Yeah I would appreciate random condition stocks rather than full condition

[thick sedge]

stalker, you've done well, we have gift for you, but it might be shit, so don't complain

[dusk vessel]

i guess nimble exists

[blissful ivy]

or a weapon trade in, but at the same time i think itd be nice to have random shit

[dusk vessel]

but its nor random

[blissful ivy]

cant buy a gun

[scenic maple]

trump fled to the zone after getting exposed

[blissful ivy]

just upgrade

[dusk vessel]

yeah

[blissful ivy]

or replace with another gun like it

[dusk vessel]

still its the closest you have to buying guns

[graceful quiver]

An equipment gacha system like in Diablo II would be nice

[blissful ivy]

i mean no need to have another gun, just go there, pay a varying price depending on what type of gun

like 5k for a pistol, 10k for smgs, 15k for shotguns, etc.

[dusk vessel]

buying guns isnt necesery anyway

[blissful ivy]

not literally

[dusk vessel]

you get so many options by just killing enemies

[blissful ivy]

but i mean something like that

[dusk vessel]

like, day 1 SR-25 drop

[blissful ivy]

i just said it would be cool, and it would be something id use

[dusk vessel]

(red barrel sadly)

[graceful quiver]

Loots from both sides, just like in D2!

[blissful ivy]

have you ever spent hours looking for the KS-12 or something?

[thick sedge]

me day 1 ks23, veresk, and as val

of course, no green barrel

[blissful ivy]

that is the most frustrating and annoying thing

[dusk vessel]

i just kinda use what i have or find

i dont specifically go out looking for guns

[blissful ivy]

i love the KS-12

[dusk vessel]

its futile

[blissful ivy]

if i want it, i kill for it

but i just end up exterminating for ages

[thick sedge]

just add a stockpile raid mission

[blissful ivy]

i look for guns because its fun to collect

[thick sedge]

high risk high reward ahhh task

[blissful ivy]

futile to you, but its an accomplishment to me

[blissful ivy]

thats just no step back

[dusk vessel]

fair enough

i generally start a new playthrough before reaching true lategame anyway

[blissful ivy]

i dont, i kill, and kill, and on and on

its a lifelong goal to make 10k kills

in a sub 200 day run

[dusk vessel]

400 kills in 3 days take it or leave it

[blissful ivy]

take it

and then double it

[dusk vessel]

i mean some quests you can farm kills

like defending flea market

[blissful ivy]

it just depends how absurd i want my run, if its absurd, i will have population cranked

[dusk vessel]

i play on default population

[blissful ivy]

defending flea market is inefficient, no step back is easier

since they push you

[dusk vessel]

let me check whats my kill counts on my current run, where im just killing whoever i encounter

[blissful ivy]

flea market i find they like to sit back at the fucking spawn

[hasty sun]

Is monolith allied to zombies? I killed a zombie as monolith and it told me i killed an ally in cold blood

[dusk vessel]

not going out of my way to farm kills atm

spending time crafting stuff

[blissful ivy]

it also depends if you sleep

some people dont

some do

[dusk vessel]

i dont

[blissful ivy]

i do

[dusk vessel]

i got coffe

[blissful ivy]

so it takes more days for me

[dusk vessel]

or adrenalin

[blissful ivy]

because i cba to play in pitch black

thats so boring when i cant see

[dusk vessel]

ive got good eyes

idm

[blissful ivy]

if its gonna be pitch black, im playing blackroad

[blissful ivy]

i have it on the very dark nights setting

[dusk vessel]

i can play in pitch black without light and still see fine

[blissful ivy]

so i just cant fucking see

[dusk vessel]

bruh

why

[blissful ivy]

because, challenge

its fun for me

[dusk vessel]

your universe doesent have a moon xd

i like the night zone vibe

[blissful ivy]

no, its just covered in black paint

reflects less light

[sharp schooner]

zamn

[dusk vessel]

idk i havent been optimal

[blissful ivy]

i often have 1000+ stalker kills and like less than 300 mutant kills

i dont know why

i just kinda dont fight mutants much

its always stalkers

[dusk vessel]

its inflated because im shooting dogs often

[blissful ivy]

im not

XD

theyre just not in my way

usually

[dusk vessel]

i just do it because why not

[quasi lance]

I got the original lead shots and oldass smokeless powder
And the ancient ammo refilling kit

[dusk vessel]

im worried my reputation with ecologists will drop too much

[blissful ivy]

wut

[dusk vessel]

to where i cant disguise into their bunkers anymore

[blissful ivy]

why would you actively want old smokeless, new smokeless is just better

[quasi lance]

Cuz its an antique

Grandma just gave me my great grandfather's hunting shotgun for my birthday

[sharp schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/cs2-twerk-counter-strike-counter-strike-2-gif-12265607644119615760

[blissful ivy]

you got your license

just making sure

i mean once you run out of old smokeless, just buy new smokeless pistol powder

should be ok

[hasty sun]

Never been this happy to find an SKS 🥲

Finally

[quasi lance]

.>

I
Dont
Its an old family heirloom

One of the hammers is stuck too

Gotta fix that

I plan on getting my weapon permits soon

[blissful ivy]

oh, i just suggest getting the license soon, also allows you to get more toys in the future, if you feel so inclined

its got external hammers?

fancy

[rose musk]

I don't think I ever slept before starting black road

but now I gotta do it more or less on CD

unless I happen to come across some caffeine tablets

[graceful quiver]

Molot I hope?

[fair remnant]

Nothing better than reloading a save and dying immediately because its loading me with max radiation for some reason

[rose musk]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitty-feline-meme-funny-gif-8764472215214951735

[hasty sun]

Molot right after a normal one

[graceful quiver]

Thank goodness~

[hasty sun]

Also two yellow stashes, basic tools > advanced tools

[graceful quiver]

The dream is becoming more real by the minute~

[hasty sun]

Now if only vendors would please sell me rifle rounds 😭

[graceful quiver]

Praying for gunsmithing tool next

[hasty sun]

I've had an ak repaired for a while but they don't sell the ammo yet

https://tenor.com/view/fentonday-gif-639932274184889256

[dusk vessel]

Fentanyl is overhyped

Yadulin is where its at

[graceful quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/fetty-drugs-meth-gif-26717678

[rose musk]

I love yadulin

comes with a 15 minute debuff that makes it impossible to aim

[dusk vessel]

Or vinca for post heals sometimes

[blissful ivy]

i hate that shit

no aim

fent is on top for a reason

its just better

[graceful quiver]

A yadulin and a Red Bull a day keeps the pain away~

[dusk vessel]

Just drink some coffe after

[blissful ivy]

i dont carry coffee

[rose musk]

preferring yadulin over fent is a certified "I can use traders" moment

[dusk vessel]

I do instead of water

[blissful ivy]

and also in combat, im kinda too busy to be drinking fucking coffee

id rather have a fix NOW than have to take 2 consumables

[hasty sun]

Hercules removes any and all sway

[dusk vessel]

Why would you take yadulin mid combat

[blissful ivy]

heal + post heal

thats it

[blissful ivy]

heal limbs

[hasty sun]

Yadulin > Hercules before you can afford fent

[rose musk]

if it's your only heal

[blissful ivy]

if you get fucked up, you might need it

[dusk vessel]

Its just cheap

Thats all

[blissful ivy]

if im not in combat, imma just fucking sleep dawg

[dusk vessel]

Nah i never sleep

[blissful ivy]

skill issue

[rose musk]

trueeee

[blissful ivy]

sleeping is peak for getting limbs back

[graceful quiver]

If I am not in combat I limb all the way back to base being supported by a Soul

[blissful ivy]

if you dont want to pay

im cheap

[rose musk]

sleeping is ncie for spawning in more dudes

[dusk vessel]

Or just paying medic

If you make it back

[rose musk]

what medics?

I killed them all

[blissful ivy]

what medics? i dont live in a faction base

because im not a chud baby loser

[rose musk]

well they shot first but that's besides the point

[blissful ivy]

[graceful quiver]

Me: Medic does not exist around here.
Doctor: DA FUCKING DA?!?!

[dusk vessel]

Ive only got the bandit medic anyway

[blissful ivy]

ive only got none

but even in normal runs, i dont usually go to faction traders often enough for anything but technicians

meds are crafted

[rose musk]

where do you setu p base atrox

I'm currently in the little bar area next to the garbage hangar

there's a box I can rest in to dodge emissions

and no npc's wander

unlike the train tunnel next to it

[dusk vessel]

Might crank up spawn rates

Instead

Im still using vanilla spawn rates

[rose musk]

I spawn with like 650 in the zone?

slightly higher than base

but I can't crank it more or my PC will explode

[dusk vessel]

Ive got a beefy pc ill be fine

[blissful ivy]

Wild Territory.

[graceful quiver]

Oh so like Merc?

[dusk vessel]

Thats neat

Got routes to most places from there

Snipers nest?

[rose musk]

where at tho

[dusk vessel]

Or more south

[rose musk]

that's safe from mutants and emissions

[blissful ivy]

you know where the heli is?

ok so you know those little sheds to the south east of that heli?

theres one there with a broken brick wall

between the 2 rooms

[rose musk]

no way lol

[dusk vessel]

I know the place

[rose musk]

you're a fiend

[blissful ivy]

its emission safe, its out of the way of most NPC routes

and it has a stash for your broke ass

[dusk vessel]

Arent you constantly hearing anomalies

[blissful ivy]

this is blackroad

[blissful ivy]

no, not really

well, theres the electro

but other than that, no

[dusk vessel]

It would drive me insane

[rose musk]

tbf I constantly hear anomalies next to the garbage hangar

[dusk vessel]

Like a smoke detector

[blissful ivy]

i mean i just play music over it when im at base

since my first order of business is making those long planks and covering the door

[fair remnant]

The numbers translate to a rickroll

[blissful ivy]

since the walls are too expensive in the beginning

[rose musk]

garbage hangar has two stashes you can use early

which is nice

[dusk vessel]

I cannot setup camp near anomalies that make noise

[blissful ivy]

tism issue

i just live with it

[brazen dove]

yall, nimble literally just wont upgrade my guns, i have pkm all parts above 95% and he keeps asking to find one, same thing happened with dvl urbana upgrade, any fixes?

[fair remnant]

Chat what mods should I add for my second gamma playthrough

[rose musk]

one behind the bar and one kinda in view of the agroprom facing guard

the electrical box

[dusk vessel]

Mags and artigrok to make yourself completely overpowered

[fair remnant]

Already have artigrok, but I dont like mags

[blissful ivy]

hidden condition needs to be high iirc

using cleaning kits bring it up

but i might be wrong

but that used to be an issue

[brazen dove]

wtf is hidden condition

[rose musk]

there used to be an overall gun condition seperate from the parts

[blissful ivy]

see in ancient times gamma had overall gun condition

[dusk vessel]

I had that issue previosly when trying to give a gun for a task to trapper

[blissful ivy]

but it was later removed in 0.9.3 to make things "More Simple™"

[rose musk]

when they took it out they just made it hidden but it still interacted with some shit like nimble

[blissful ivy]

which imo, is dumb, and it was better before

[dusk vessel]

I cleaned every single part of the gun and it just would not update the quest

To where i could complete it

[brazen dove]

ok how do i do it, i have the D kit but it wont allow me to do anything but maintain parts

[blissful ivy]

maintain parts yes

but dont waste the gun repair kit, just cleaning kits

if that wasnt obvious

[brazen dove]

all parts are already at 100%

i cant do anything to the gun with the kit

[blissful ivy]

then uhh, you can change the parts out

with worse ones

if you have them

[dusk vessel]

And then repair again

[blissful ivy]

or you can just use the base PKM until the parts degrade

[dusk vessel]

Yeah

[blissful ivy]

also viable

[green gyro]

I don't think I got Merc ceasefire after BS, is my goodwill too low?

As loner

Or is that not even a thing

[dusk vessel]

Its only as merc

[green gyro]

Oh understood

[dusk vessel]

As loner there isnt ceasefire

[green gyro]

No Aslan gamba for me this save then

[dusk vessel]

Its just so that as a merc you can play the story

[green gyro]

Makes sense

[dusk vessel]

You can still get neutral with mercs through doing tasks in disguise

1000 should be threshold

[green gyro]

unlikely at this point lol

[hasty sun]

Just entered Jupiter and 3 missions in there completed themselves at the same time
I'm getting a lottery ticket

[midnight valley]

this new backpack animation is peak
however it has also lead to my death numerous times

[hasty sun]

No more inventory mid combat

[rose musk]

there is if you just turn it off

MODULAR

[hasty sun]

boooooooo

How dare you play the way you want

Don't you realize we know what you like better than you

smh my head dude

[rose musk]

I'm just too used to opening my pack to use meds

never used hotkeys

[hasty sun]

I've got my 4 hotkeys and never needed more than that mid combat

Medit, bangage/tourniquet, stimpack, then a flex spot

[rose musk]

yeah I have meaty fingers so I tend to fatfinger shit

and i would rather not fatfinger a yadulin at max hp

[solar chasm]

Or going to outskirts and doing merc tasks with the outskirts mercs

[midnight valley]

i will be doing this

ive bled out way too many times panic opening my inventory unable to click the bandage

[graceful quiver]

Nothing is more fun than getting mugging squad while you are in the middle of putting away your bag

[blissful ivy]

common mugging squad L

[hasty sun]

Damn even against armor 357 still packs a punch

Revolver pulling it's weight

[graceful quiver]

Coonan soon I hope

[midnight valley]

the 6 cats coming out of nowhere the moment you pull out your bag:

[graceful quiver]

The 1 cat that came and swiped your entire leg clean off

[hasty sun]

The 1 snork who appears right when you start skinning

[graceful quiver]

At least Snorks are slow and telegraphing

Fucking cats fly around like birds and deal a ton of rupture damage like they are wolverines

[hasty sun]

Yeah but your sdalger's brain is built different so he cannot interrupt an action mid way through

[formal mountain]

early on 1 dog bite is like half of your hp + bleed

😭

[hasty sun]

And a dead leg

[formal mountain]

and a dead leg to have you die to the second dog or cat following their buddy

Erm can i get to the stash ?

Managed to get ir by aiming at the crack between the doors

It was worth it

[graceful quiver]

lol did you rip that PGO-7 off a Monolith's RPG?

[green gyro]

this save is fucking crazy, first 98% off of first chimera hide, now hybrid armored suit off of first Sin squad

bad luck with tools though

now just needs full empty

[hasty sun]

It's from #1365003420402061432 i'm pretty sure

Pretty much unusable on a rifle but you can if you want

[edgy moon]

been about a year since last played gamma

HOLY SHET THEY OPENED THIS PATH

[hollow pecan]

Yeah I said the same thing out loud when I saw it too.

[hollow prawn]

anyone know if this weird white reticle is base-game or if it's a mod thing? If it's a mod I'll kick it over to the proper channel

only appears when ADS'd and looking at a valid target

figured it out, it was something with Adjustable Waypoints

[hasty sun]

Aren't those kinda rare?

All the woodland stuff?

[lethal steeple]

no

merc woodland is the one that has one model that drops it

iirc duty has a uhhh proto that is also dropped by only one model

[hasty sun]

Oh it's only merc woodland

Got it

[runic olive]

in MCM try searching waypoints (i dont rember exact mod name) and go to keybinds, its one of those i think

sorry i can help in more detail but that little circle thing marks enemies when you look at them with scopes(?) and binoculars

[hollow prawn]

Yeah I figured it out

[hasty sun]

Going back to shotguns after a full run of only Hydrashock SMG and it feels real weird

[celest zinc]

I still find myself jumping thru the pipes and crouch jumping thru the window lol

[lethal steeple]

i mean surely there are more one model drops in the game other than the merc woodland and that iirc duty iirc proto

maybe 2 model drops

that's also quite rare

[edgy moon]

dang this is a personal record of how fast I find an exo helm

[hasty sun]

2nd best in the game

Man starting north really turning me into a rat
I'm dragging squads into mutants so they can clear them for me

[atomic pebble]

[rose musk]

kill 12 military guys and not a single stash

wack

[sharp schooner]

shoot the window.

[hasty sun]

Yeah i got it by finding a pixel between the two doors

[novel sierra]

Literally just upgraded PC

Gonna hafta reinstall all of Anom and GAM

See what difference it all amkes

I think this means My saves are gone

Rapist

[hasty sun]

Depends on what you had before but in my experience it won't be much better

When people talk about the M4 Defender do they mean this one or is there a really rare one actually called Defender?

[signal gulch]

bruh

#7 in sarcophagus are we fr

[marsh bridge]

you put it on the belt that your dad gave you as the family heirloom

[hollow wadi]

Last I did Toppers it had 8 of the 10 lads in the Sarcophagus, and it's hilariously easy to kill 80% of the Monolith in there

[midnight valley]

i couldve sworn you used to be able to fold weapon stocks

can you still or am i stupid

[sick yoke]

never could

[hollow wadi]

You only "could" in the sense that one or two AKs had it as part of the holster/unholstering animation

But not as an actual function

[thick sedge]

you are stupid

[hollow wadi]

wot

[rose musk]

emission came through

like shooting fish in a barrel

[graceful quiver]

Do zombies count as a mutant or stalker actor (for dmg calc)?

[hollow wadi]

Zombified stalkers = stalkers
Zombies with no guns or outfits = mutants

[hollow wadi]

I remember one time when I was hiding in a hut with a Freedomer, and Military lads ran over to hide as well, in AW
One was downed near the door, and apparently the script for finishing off enemies overpowers the script for hiding from emissions
He pathed outside and instantly exploded

[rose musk]

free kills is always nice

[midnight valley]

how

that is not how you run with a shotgun lol

[rose musk]

holy, survival guide 3 and a hybrid on one legend

[hollow wadi]

I mean, his body is exploded out of existence

[rose musk]

wait is there a magic tunnel in the scientist bunkers that npc's can use

followed a guy inside to take him out right after he ran in and he just dissapeared

[hollow wadi]

He might've ascended to the roof

[graceful quiver]

I went to hide in a pipe in Garbage, and my assassination target and his squad all ran into the same place to hide so I clocked them as they came in

[grave pivot]

How do i shoot and rotate the BTR's gun and turret?

[graceful quiver]

You can use vehicle armament?

[rose musk]

bro what is my rf package luck

black road had to have buffed these

[signal gulch]

okay

so big game quesst is just impossible huh

Not too much

Is it just me or are the AIs using mounted weapons broken? They pretty much never shoot at you

[real crypt]

Mounted weapons are non functional ye

[steep elm]

Wait, really?

Because I recall the military guy posted on the PKM at the machine yard in Great Swamps always mowing you down if you walk into his sights lol.

[analog palm]

they still work i think

just got nerfed to hell

[ashen stag]

they work sometimes

sometimes not

[steep elm]

I see

[marsh bridge]

https://medal.tv/games/stalker-anomaly/clips/lQM7QEOoiPlqKZIDF?invite=cr-MSxrTG8sNDI4NjQyNTQ2&v=156
i quite like emission/psy storm combat even if this one was a little short

[graceful quiver]

They do work, just the AI being broken as hell for me apparently

I only got shot at like once at Cordon checkpoint, and that's it

[graceful quiver]

I do wish I was recording my scenario where I was doing Last Dawn: Clear the south-eastern farmstead, and the moment I got there an emission occurred so it turned into a beautiful bowl of all of us trying to seek shelter, shooting at each other all the while, then some turned zombies, and it became a melee a trois

[celest sparrow]

[analog palm]

psy storms are bit too short to do anything imo

even default ones , not the psi-fart that gamma has

why is your nvg vomit colored

vomit vision goggles

that's normal wdym

[fringe sinew]

emission hit them hardd

[steep elm]

first 2 versions of NVG are green

[graceful quiver]

Isn't that just how NVG tier 1 looks?

[fringe sinew]

its way more green for me

for the tier 1

weird

[marsh bridge]

you can adjust the brightness of the NVGS with beefs NVGs

[graceful quiver]

Yeah, you have to since ambient light conditions may vary wildly

I always set it lowest by default

LKOL YEA

[steep elm]

Well hello there big boi

[marsh bridge]

man i got one of those so long ago i gotta fix it up eventually

[steep elm]

holy shit that rifle is 7.5Kg unloaded

[steep elm]

I'm mainly surprised it's a C tier weapon

Surely it's an end-game type of weapon lol

[marsh bridge]

what scopes does it take

[steep elm]

because I mean even the SVD and bullpup SVDS or whatever is D tier

[marsh bridge]

and then the SVT dosnt even exist anymore

also thats a fucking wild scope selection for that

how is that c tier

i guess the weight could be a reason

[steep elm]

yeah idk man

[marsh bridge]

is there any weight reduction upgrades

[steep elm]

I'm wondering if it's just oversight

[marsh bridge]

for that

[steep elm]

I checked and

no

CHONKY fucker

[marsh bridge]

ok that would explain it then

[steep elm]

maybe

[marsh bridge]

C tier for a hecking chonker checks out i guess

whats the stats on the bullets?

[steep elm]

they'll fuck up like any stalker

[dusk vessel]

im p sure it used to be D tier

[dusk vessel]

but it was such a bad rifle they put it in C

[marsh bridge]

ho ree sheet

[steep elm]

especially the AP version

[steep elm]

what makes it bad?

[dusk vessel]

bolt action

[marsh bridge]

its a bolt action?

[dusk vessel]

yes

you have to rack each round after each shot

its not exactly bolt action

but same gameplay style

[marsh bridge]

oh its THAT rifle ok

i saw that in a video one time and thought it was a weird modded rifle

[steep elm]

Hm

I do love me bolties...

makes me wanna use it even more now kinda

[dusk vessel]

its subsonic rounds

[marsh bridge]

thats basically just a worse 338 rifle so you might as well use that

[steep elm]

[marsh bridge]

fire the grapeshot!

[dusk vessel]

its got 120 base damage and the ammo has a 1.2x damage multi

svd has 110 base damage and 0.85x damage multi for comparison

[steep elm]

oh damn

even so

that chonker should basically be enough for any stalker, any rank

[marsh bridge]

so what you're telling me is i should use a benelli with ap slugs instead of bothering with any sniper rifle ever?

[steep elm]

just head,eyes them

[marsh bridge]

10 rounds and semi automatic
i have a saiga + mags mod which i might switch to at some point but the benelli sounds so good to shoot

[dusk vessel]

ap slug from a mossberg 590 which has 79 base damage

and ap slug has a x1.52 damage multi

[analog palm]

you dont even need ap slugs

normal slugs handle everything

[marsh bridge]

im aware

[dusk vessel]

120 damage

[marsh bridge]

i have 9KG worth of slugs

[mental furnace]

bolt action and big damage drop off on range shots

[marsh bridge]

i dissasembled all of my buckshot and just turned it all into slugs

[dusk vessel]

wait ap slug is only 42 pen?

[mental furnace]

so u use it like shotgun

[marsh bridge]

isnt normal slug like 36 pen?

thats not much of an improvement

[dusk vessel]

normal slug is 24

[marsh bridge]

ok thats alright then

but 24 pen with a 90(?) damage projectile will indeed handle most things

i used that on dark valley bandit base

[analog palm]

even nosorog dudes will drop with 2-4 headshots

[dusk vessel]

normal slug has 2.7x damage multi

[marsh bridge]

wtf?

[analog palm]

also worth noting, 90% of time, anything hit with slugs gets staggered to hell

[dusk vessel]

213 damage per slug

[analog palm]

follow up shots are basically free

[marsh bridge]

next you're gonna tell me 9x18 fmj has a 500x damage boost

[dusk vessel]

no

its like 0.65 lmao

[analog palm]

9x18 can also handle heavy armored enemies as long as you fire fast enough

[dusk vessel]

its really shit

x0.7

[marsh bridge]

i have a dedicated "triple clicker" button on my mouse that i bought off amazon for like 15 bucks

its basically just an autoclicker

[dusk vessel]

9x18 has 0.6

[marsh bridge]

and AP?

[dusk vessel]

same as fmj

just more pen

[analog palm]

get a g502

[marsh bridge]

get a vz scorpion with the 65 rnd drum mag and you got the bug zapper equivalent of a renegade/bandit killer

my previous mouse broke and i needed a quick replacement for it so i found the cheapest one i could find off amazon and i didnt even know it had a triple clicker button until i got it at my house

i talked about this in brainfart you might be able to find it with the search bar

[dusk vessel]

on an avarage heavy helmet a 9x19 pistol would need 7 headshots to kill

fmj

on ap its 4

[steep elm]

AP slugs got nerfed iirc.

They used to hit armored targets much harder

This change was many versions ago tho

Like 0.9.1 or so

[hollow wadi]

https://veerserif.pythonanywhere.com/

[dusk vessel]

thats what im using

i dont think its fully up to date though

[hollow wadi]

Idk, 5 shots with fmj, but that's only when hitting the top half of the head

Jaw multiplier is 300%, not 365%

[dusk vessel]

i selected heavy helmet

nosorg

yours is sunrise medium

[hollow wadi]

Okay that's different

[dusk vessel]

yeah

[hollow wadi]

Then yeah, that's 7 shots

[dusk vessel]

which, if it was realistic you could shoot it 50 times and the person would just be very concussed

but its not realistic and doesent need to be

[hollow wadi]

GAMMA's ammo.ltx hasn't changed much
grok_bo.script hasn't changed at all

[dusk vessel]

werent .45 hp changed

idk if thats been updated

it says x1.64 in the site

[lavish delta]

i think AP rounds are just bonus bullets... i rarely use them ...

[mighty viper]

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1q46zug/gamma/

It’s not a bug it’s a feature

[fringe sinew]

an annoying one though

it dosent really add difficulty its just pestering

thank god you can disable it

[graceful quiver]

That reminds me, sometimes the game spawns a bolt object that is stuck to the ground which has a pick up interaction but only plays the animation and doesn't actually pick it up

This occurs completely random it seems since I haven't noticed a pattern

[hollow wadi]

Honestly 0 real reason behind having a separate slot for bolts and having them be an inventory item
Just more "Misery hardcore epic realism"

[cursive sparrow]

my guy did not even look through the items in his inventory 😄

[fair remnant]

Hmm

Some ecologist guy just spoke to me about 'the oasis'

[hollow wadi]

Yes it's still in the game

[topaz mantle]

is there a way to switch crosshair?

[latent turret]

i believe dynahud has crosshair options but thats a huge hassle to set up

[hollow wadi]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/ascendantcrosshairs Sure

[lavish delta]

I hate pseudogiants

[hollow barn]

they hate you too

[hasty goblet]

Now I have to retrieve my bolts! Just like the movie! 🤓

[analog palm]

little turd treats putting that cart on the tracks like some kinda monumental effort

wait strong chat

[grave pivot]

I sure do love the RPG system, involuntarily turning my Character into John Marston by making .357 hit harder than a 7.62x51

[hasty goblet]

This is realistic because .357 damage is dependent on swag modifyer.

How do i reduce the shaky head effect after eating pain killers?

[steep elm]

If you kill traders and/or mechanics - especially the ones with randomly generated names - do new NPCs eventually spawn in and take their places?

[steep elm]

Drink an energy drink or water, take coke or an adrenalin shot, or take a glucose shot. Hovering over specific substances and drinks will tell you whether they make you dizzy or get rid of dizziness.

[quasi grove]

is loot decided when enemies spawn or when you kill them?

[celest sparrow]

upon loot

[quasi grove]

so you're saying i can reroll what drops by saving right after killing an enemy before i loot them

nosorog here i come

[celest sparrow]

i mean if they are wearing a nosorog, sure

[quasi grove]

actually 1 nosorog and 1 exoskeleton

so yeah

time to farm some good gear

got it on the second try

nice

[quasi grove]

hmm what's better health regen of wound healing on nosorog(I've got no net health lose or regen from artifacts but i've got -1800 ml/s blood loss)

[brazen dove]

visual glitch

[quasi grove]

how much ML/s does wound healing +2 equate to?

[fair remnant]

Chat

I have an m700

What kit do you lot recommend I buy

[quasi grove]

none go and find deer hunter

since you can't buy it

[rancid narwhal]

would yall say i should go for 7.62x51 ball rounds or ap rounds

[quasi grove]

depends on what you will be facing

[rancid narwhal]

its my weapon for killing stalkers

[fair remnant]

Oh I think I have one of them in a box somewhere

[quasi grove]

armored exoskeleton wielding monolith you want AP

rag wearing bandits ball will do fine

[rancid narwhal]

ill get a bit of both

[quasi grove]

yeah thats the usual choice

[fair remnant]

Oh shit freedom sell .338 lapua

[quasi grove]

though when using 7.62x51 I use almost only AP

[quasi grove]

yeah but it will be expansive

[fair remnant]

Okay no fucken way im using the barret

[quasi grove]

i suggest crafting as your first choice

[fair remnant]

Those bullets are waaay pricey

I think i'll just use the m700

[quasi grove]

if you've got what you need crafting .338 is viable

[fair remnant]

I have enough for maybe 10 rounds of .338

[cosmic ermine]

Nah you need atleast 120 bro

[fair remnant]

I never really cared for ammo crafting

[slim bear]

[quasi grove]

TBH that can kill 10 people so long as you don't miss

[idle kelp]

I think that counts as like +20 ml healing doesnt it

Wound healing is absolute ass iirc

[quasi grove]

uhh that's bad very bad

that doesn't even offset 1 relic

hell its less than 10% of a single relic

[fair remnant]

Yeah but im basically firing gold bars at people

[quasi grove]

I mean when facing nosorog clad unisg it just might save you a lot of trouble

and it's still cheaper than railgun ammo

[fair remnant]

I mean

My shak-12 could probably deal with em

[quasi grove]

yeah but pretty sure 12.7×55 ain't much cheaper

[fair remnant]

Oh it really fucken isnt

I feel physical pain every time I buy ammo

[quasi grove]

never really checked

[fair remnant]

But i'd rather hoard one comically expensive ammo type rather than two

[quasi grove]

i mainly use 5,56 and 7,62x51

wait your using shak-12 yeah?

[fair remnant]

Yuh

[quasi grove]

yeah then nothing save berret 82 and gauss rifle will outperform it in terms of dmg iirc

at least when talking about staker killing weapons

Sniper rifle might be a bit redundant

[woven hollow]

^

you can always go the dps route of using any 1000+ rpm 7.62x39 or 9x39 gun

but that will be very ammo intensive

very fun tho

and shreds sin and unisg

[woven hollow]

nothing

mono war lab is a leftover of CoC's "mystery of the zone" questline

[harsh sandal]

Yeah... Wait MIRAGE? HELL NAH
