Trying to upkeep 3 playthroughs
At the same time
Wasn’t the best idea

I have 3 saves that I try to be active on
My monolith one, my CS one and the Loner dude
The last one is the only save that went past BS

Hang on, that’s bit outdated

I can’t find the newer screenshot
Basically I now have AWSM, Saiga, BRN and a PKM
Problem is
I was a total idiot and haven’t thought of how important the artifacts were
So here I am with 24BR

anyone have experience with the artigrok ballistics mod? iirc theres a way to add custom ammo
fringe sinew
i also have a loner dude
dusk vessel
IED?
lets see if this works
the smaller ied proximity should work for this
dont wanna use the bigger one
bruh im gonna deal with this for a long time, because ive killed so many loners that a lot of their squad mates will remember me and shoot

i dislike that faction after playing clear sky
stuck sierra
Why?
stuck sierra
agents of c con
They branched off
From ccon
The founders of the faction were ex members of the C-Con, yes
dusk vessel
not trustworthy
stuck sierra
Their goals are different from C-Con, and so are their methods
stuck sierra
not trustworthy
Duty is rogue military
Idk why military is chill with duty
Founders were actual criminals
dusk vessel
Founders were actual criminals
because military is corrupt aswell
pretty damn simple stuff really
there isnt any good guys faction in the zone
besides loner mabye

there isnt any good guys faction in the zone
Ecologists

They are still not trustworthy lol

Nuhuh
dusk vessel
im a clear sky hater

dusk vessel
renegades dont even have any real base
the closest is some scattered people in zaton and the wooden shacks in northwest swamp
stuck sierra
They are still not trustworthy lol
They just chill in swamps fighting renegades and doing research
Basically ecologists but more guns
Also freedom, fanfics aside, isn’t all that bad
Anarchists, yes, but with a noble cause
celest sparrow
Surely the reason why Clear Sky wanted to kill Strelok was due to him causing emissions and not due to him getting awful close to finding out things he wasn't supposed to 
stuck sierra
Duty is honestly not bad either
Well, that is until Voronin pulled up
Hate that guy
dusk vessel
freedomers are weird
but theyre okay
duty is corrupt and pretentious but they still do the right thing mostly

Freedom isn't really anarchist. iirc actual freedomers don't express anarchist ideology in the original games.

often times you will sell a pda to a technician or someone else that takes information

i like them because theres no faction relations really minus bandits
i can go do whatever

Bandits still have a purpose. I interpret it as meaning that they are basically loners who don't fit easily into a community and tend to be criminal. Renegades are simply even worse, without any purpose.

Maybe it seems this way to me because they carry more optics comparable weapons than bandits. Half the renegades I kill have SKS molot

90% just makes it so you can play like a meathead

You control the buttons you press brother
The end game Artifact build shouldn't make you unstoppable is such a wild thing to say
like
just don't use them
jade acorn
valid
celest sparrow
This community is just allergic to being unstoppable and having fun that way
jade acorn
I feel like I wasn't really coming from that position though
when I started playing gamma I obviously got really into the game cause its challanging and very exciting for that reason, and eventually I decided I would take on invictus
I was kind of an idiot at first so I didn't fuck with artifacts at all and i really struggled, it felt like it would be something id have to get a lot better at the game to be able to achieve
and while that was true in a lot of ways, when I finally discovered that I could basically remove most of the difficulty by getting the best artifacts it did kind of change my perspective on it
but I dont think that means it SHOULD be changed
celest sparrow
jade acorn
what you said is still very true, if you want a harder experience you can make it harder
jade acorn
do you think it would be unfun if the cap was 80%
celest sparrow
It would be
It was previously 95% which was way too much, so it was reduced to 90%
Why should the items that take the longest to acquire be handicapped in such a way to maintain the difficulty aspect when the point is to provide a way to take away from that challenge

well then why was 95% too high
celest sparrow
From 33 Damage, you'll only be taking ~1.6
Practically invincible
People felt like it was too much, which Grok then adjusted
jade acorn
you could always self limit back then too, and choose not go up to 95% resistance, but I agree with the change because I felt like it made the experience overall more balanced
and personally I feel the same way about reducing it further, but I also understand why you disagree with that. The last tier of artifacts are pretty hard to get, and I can see why its a lot of fun to basically be a walking tank
