you could play the zombies mode where theres just a horde of zombies

hard crown
#

maybe in my enxt run i ll crank up mutants wpawn. lower stalker. but use hardcore ai aim

#

and maybe increase loot spawn on dead stalkers

#

not sure

#

i just wish it was more desolated with just scary mutants that youw ant to avoid at all costs

#

mayeb an addon that fixes that

#

or some settings

tough prawn
#

ok

hard crown
sick yoke
#

I don’t see how an addon can fix jumping on a rock but sure I guess

tough prawn
#

Lurkers dont care about that

#

Replace all mutants with lurkers and chimeras and snorks

#

With psy attacks

gaunt agate
#

I dont think that's possible

sonic verge
#

Is there a way to make Gamma a more casual shooter? (less emphasis on looting/crafting, and an easier economy?)

#

I know black market helps with that, what other mods?

#

pretty sure you can directly change the population of stalker sqauds and mutants in the zone, maybe tip the balance way in favor of mutants?

#

I hear EFP is like 500 gbs though, I dont want to set that shit up

tough prawn
#

I think its less than gamma

sonic verge
#

is there that big of a difference between the lowest setting and the medium setting?

idle kelp
#

Yes, it's a pretty huge difference

#

Setting the game to easy makes it a much more casual experience imo

sonic verge
#

Does it make weapons drop in good condition and ammo abundant?

idle kelp
#

Fully green? No. But it does make good parts more common and money more plentiful, as well as making the enemies less dangerous, thus making you spend far less on protection and healing

#

You also start with significantly better gear so it's much less of a struggle early on.

woven hollow
#

lowering difficulty in stalker is not something one wants to ever do

#

as it makes enemies much tankier

idle kelp
#

In GAMMA? No.

woven hollow
#

heh

#

so it's changed

#

gud then

#

KekSkew tbf though, gamma is balanced around the hardest difficulty

#

i just hope that everything past brainscorcher gets more work in

#

another save dead to mortal sin questline

#

this time around to limansk signal lost quest pda not spawning

#

tbf i would prefer for mortal sin and afterglow to get nuked out of existence as both are very boring

#

You know that trailer at the start of Radar where you can hide from emissions ?

Yeah...I was in there hiding from an emission and a fucking poltergeist is outside throwing cans at me and then a pseudogiant just walks in casually. fml.

Would be nice if grok added some story mods

@sonic verge 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

#

I should try black road on my 2nd playthrough to make early game as long as possible.

grave pivot
#

Idk what it is, but it seems "fun"

hard crown
#

is ther a mod that adds actual ammo check animations to the guns that dont have them

#

also maybe add models for the drum mags in case i decide to use mags redux in my next playthrough

haughty stone

#

but i m not sure if someone implemented in gamma

grave solar

#

some mods use this to achieve ammo checks and different type of megazine animations

small ermine

#

as of now the only modpack that i saw work with it very well

#

is a modpack called stalker zona

grave solar
hard crown
#

check this video min 2:10

sick yoke
#

Lol

hard crown
#

i would like something like that for gamma

#

however gamma has an insane number of guns

sick yoke
#

Why’d you link the video with a timestamp but the timestamp is in the entirely wrong spot in the video

hard crown
grave solar
#

in fact, it's working as it does in gamma, no difference. I'm lost here lol

sick yoke
#

Click the video you literally just posted

hard crown
#

yeah mb wrong minute or video

#

give me a sec

sick yoke
#

You timestamped the wrong spot

hard crown
sick yoke
#

And yeah that’s not an ammo check that’s just a reload lol

hard crown
#

it s the first 2 mins

celest sparrow
hard crown
sick yoke
#

“Check this video min 2:10”
“the ammo check is in there, not sure where in the video but it’s there”

#

Why the fuck did you give a time in the video then

grave solar
#

okay well regardless, there's no way to get ammo check animations for every gun in gamma, unless you make the animations

hard crown
grave solar
#

naturally, no hate here.

sick yoke
#

You could have just

hard crown
sick yoke
#

Checked the video to see the exact part????

grave solar
#

lets just let this all go, its no big deal

#

lets not go off on a massive tangent about mags xD

celest sparrow
sick yoke
#

Anyway, watched the mags section of the video and nothing in there shows anything different from normal mags redux stuff

quasi python
#

is there any pros to UNISG armor besides their nosorg? from what ive seen their armor is booty

quasi python
#

ight but what bout their other armors... their med and lights have like really shitty stats

#

for what is basically merc armor

formal mountain
hard crown
#

Last time i played woth mags redux in gamma you could not do that

opaque moss
#

does it actually tomfoolery

#

where is that shown

celest sparrow
opaque moss
#

yeah ik it doesn't

#

but maybe it's some super secret feature that they showed or something idk

celest sparrow
floral crow
#

I looove fixing guns in this game they all feel like little projects even the guns I don't use anymore I can't throw away because I remember all the care I put into them

hard crown
formal mountain
#

more than difficult i'd say annoying, gun condition wasn't needed

small ermine
#

no it was about the same

celest sparrow
#

it really is about the same

steep elm
#

Although I lowkey miss the challenge associated with guns having conditions, it is by far much easier to find and use guns out in the wild now; as long as they have green barrels, then it's almost like a guarantee you can use them right away if you have the other spare parts on you or in a stash somewhere.

celest sparrow
#

the update only made it clear how it was always this easy to repair guns

small ermine
steep elm
#

All the gun oils and shit kinda feel useless more-or-less anymore lol

small ermine
#

parts were the only thing that mattered

steep elm
#

oh, really?

#

I figured lower gun condition meant higher jam chances.

small ermine
#

condition only affected part decay rate

steep elm
#

also, the lower the gun condition, the more dmg your gun's parts took.

#

At least that's what I assumed

small ermine
#

so a literal nothing burger

steep elm
#

okay

celest sparrow
#

It didn't leave much of an impact as people thought it did

small ermine
#

and even then
there were alot of methods to clean condition up to 100% in like a few item uses

vale rune
#

how do you survive the miracle machine

floral crow
#

I'm struggling so hard to find where this yellow stash is in the Duty base it says it's RIGHT on the Duty leader but I can't find it, there's a non openable green box but that's it

dawn martenBOT
#

@floral crow
An ongoing bug causes some stashes to spawn on random objects, anomalies or NPC's, resulting in the loss of any items they might've held.

To identify if the stash is indeed bugged you can do this:

  1. Disable Areas above the PDA Map to remove white circles around locations
  2. Right Click the stash marker on your PDA Map
  3. Select Set Waypoint
  4. Right Click the waypoint you just added
  5. Select Waypoint Settings
  6. Enable Show waypoints marker on HUD
  7. Press OK
  8. The on-screen waypoint will point towards the stash
steep elm
#

Sometimes stashes can spawn on NPCs lol

vale rune
#

I got two the long winding stairs with the burers and it feels impossible to get through with the anomalies and them stealing my rifle

#

It feels like I need a minumum of a exo suit to survive

#

and night vision to see

small ermine
#

no not really

floral crow
small ermine
#

even if you had an exo
they will kill you

vale rune
#

any advice on how to kill them first?

#

I m sure its possible but its just difficult

floral crow
#

if there is can't find it

#

sighhh rip yellow stash I guess

vale rune
#

get a night vision scope and try and try and snipe them first?

small ermine
#

nah just shoot them when their shields are down

#

its not that complex

vale rune
#

i didnt even know they had shields

outer ridge
small ermine
#

yeah they bounce your bullets off if you shoot them

outer ridge
#

if hands up, shield up, immune to damage, wasting ammo

small ermine
#

^

vale rune
#

ahh okay

outer ridge
#

they got big heads

#

shoot em there

vale rune
#

I cant see because my headlamp keeps flickering

#

should I craft nightvision or can i buy it

outer ridge
#

any chance you can get first gen nvgs?

#

absolutely craft those

vale rune
#

do certain helmets prevent you from using them?

outer ridge
#

not that im aware of

celest sparrow
small ermine
#

nvgs are for the most part
not really good inside lab areas

outer ridge
#

eh, just gotta turn the gain down

small ermine
#

even still the lighting is awful

celest sparrow
#

I never use NVGs in labs

vale rune
#

as long as I can see their heads and hands

celest sparrow
#

I would rather squint my eyes than deal with the dogshit green filter

vale rune
#

I have a ak105 swamp thing with a nice scope so I should be able to land the shots

#

5.56 cartridge

small ermine
#

use HP

outer ridge
#

i always do, i find that adjustment is pretty quick and being able to see is a godsend

#

especially once you craft gen 3 and get the white phosphor

vale rune
#

white phosporous my beloved love those in other games like ROR

outer ridge
#

yeah theyre great, always my first craft after getting expert tools

vale rune
#

I heard theres a locked door up ahead with a controller

#

How do I unlock that door and better yet is psy block enough to not get a controller to suicide me?

#

stranger things final episode style?

outer ridge
#

door isnt locked, but yes there's a controller. i wouldnt even waste the psyblock tbh unless the phantoms start stacking

small ermine
#

dont get close to it and break line of sight before it hits you

vale rune
#

so when it sucks in ur sight you can look away?

#

like slenderman>

outer ridge
#

but he's pretty easy. peek around the corner of the door, pull back when you hear ringing, then shoot him in the head

vale rune
#

i have a lot of 5.56 so killing him should be fast

#

hp too

outer ridge
#

he only POV's you if you dont find cover when you hear the ringing

#

yeah mag dump his head and you'll be fine

small ermine
#

use HP only for this lab
no point in wasting fmj

vale rune
#

How do I open the door so I just press the f key or punch in a code?

small ermine
#

you pull the lever on the command room up the ladders

#

after pulling the other 3 levers as you went up the floors of the main lab room

brisk warren

can anyone help me with SSS? Everything is very very dark

quasi python

I had the ES and SSR patch instead of ES and no SSR

does SSS make anyone elses FPS dogshite?

quasi python
#

so ive got the Usable Parts Handler set to handle stuff below 60% but it doesnt handle all the parts. It sells most stuff but there is other parts still in my inv that are 40% that it didnt move up to sell

storm dirge
#

What is the best way to reliably kill a bloodsucker without taking damage? I have no problem with all the other mutants but somehow psysuckers/bloodsuckers are agile and become visible close to you, so they are much harder to dodge rather than a chimera for example

quasi python
#

never had them turn around an hit me/disappear while actively chasing them

Oooh ofc I play with almost no grass kekl that might explain part my pb

dusk vessel

if you mean that

quasi python

it doesnt seem to handle all weapon/outfit parts even though i have it set

it moves some but not all

dusk vessel
#

ah

#

read ignore recepie materials

#

some armour parts can be crafted into useful devices

#

or an armour plate

#

so those arent included in the auto selling

but if you turn that option off they will be

#

ahhhh ok ok

thank you

dusk vessel
#

id keep some of them

quasi python

especially for a surge

or a titanium grid

kevlar plates are okay if you have nothing else but they dont protect your head

dusk vessel
#

ive gotten a green barrel one on day 1

#

but i cant buy ammo for it as isg

#

and i dont have ammo tools

quasi python
#

dang almost got the whole gun for free, green

dusk vessel
#

keep the green parts ditch the gun

#

once i get the option to craft ammo ill be able to use it

#

can disassemble 7.92x57 rounds

#

just make sure you use 7N14 because 7N1 is kinda bad for a dmr

#

need multiple headshots on some enemies

solar chasm
#

I typically go for 9x19 smgs over shotties for anti-mutant duty these days

solar chasm
dusk vessel
#

can control where your bullets go

#

only better thing about shotguns is the ammo is cheaper, and you can use them with orange parts and be okay

#

since less rpm less jams

grave pivot
dusk vessel
#

also being able to pick off mutants before they get too close

grave pivot
#

Since theyre charging and retreating in one direction, you only gotta worry about that

#

And also, prayer. Lots of prayer

storm dirge
solar chasm
#

But yeah bloodsuckers and psysuckers are always a bit scuffed to avoid damage against

storm dirge
#

keksad that's interesting because I thought there would be a trick like jumping the pseudogiant stomp just before his hand hits the ground or smth

#

Like throwing paint on it to make him visible bigbrain

solar chasm
#

I definitely have avoided bloodsucker swipes

#

But it's extremely hit and miss

graceful quiver
#

Bloodsuckers seem to have a similar front radius as boars, but they are faster, so I try to preemptively run-jump sideway as they come, then chase after them

5.45hp is really good

better than .45 beyond a certain distance too in damage per bullet

Was the svarog balanced by having the blue anomaly indicators be against a similarly shaded blue screen

:(

dusk vessel
#

fmj have a debuff when hitting mutants

#

i think you can keep the vss its a good rifle

#

for stalkers

#

id replace the remington for a smg

grave pivot
#

So either its the VSS or the Remington

dusk vessel
#

yeah

#

its a Sniper and a DMR

#

you only really want one of those at a time

grave pivot
#

Okay, ig the remington then

dusk vessel
#

consider trading nimble for a mp5 fraiser

#

or just use whatever smg you like

#

or even a rifle with hp ammo

#

im not a big fan of shotguns

#

they work really well too though

grave pivot
#

Ah, i suppose SMGs are efficient Mutant killers with the right round?

dusk vessel
#

yeah

#

specifically hydroshock or 9x19 can work too with high enough rm

grave pivot
#

I dont really get its use beyond mid game, but ill give it a try

dusk vessel
#

like an mp9 is pretty good

dusk vessel
dusk vessel
#

doesent get hp

#

it only has ap

#

its a good pistol slot weapon

grave pivot
dusk vessel
#

i use an SR1M as a pistol often

grave pivot
dusk vessel
#

some

#

one handed ones

rose musk
#

early late game, 1 million dollars

dusk vessel
#

SR2M, P90, MP7

#

are ones i can remember off the top of my head

#

there might be more im not sure

#

you can even modify game files to fit any gun into the slot if you wanted to

grave pivot
dusk vessel
#

my personal recomandation is an mp5 fraiser because you just need a regular mp5a3 to bring to nimble

grave pivot
#

Barkeep has competition

dusk vessel
#

so easy to obtain for you

#

dont have to spend 3 hours killing people hoping they drop the right gun xd

grave pivot
#

I suppose a rechambered SR-2M will do, im mostly doing a WP weapons unless i have to use NATO weapons

#

Been using the 700 for way too long now that i think about it think

dusk vessel
#

its valid to use a 5.45 rifle purely to hunt mutants

#

something like an aks74 u tac

#

or a ak74 pmc

#

tbh you could run an AEK-971 with a 95 drum mag of hollowpoints

grave pivot
dusk vessel
#

that thing shreds mutants

#

can kill a pack of 3 chimeras before they reach you

#

its really powerful

#

but again use what you like there isnt wrong choices

#

just good aim required with some

grave pivot
#

Thats fair, im mostly looking for any good WP weapon for mutants

rose musk
#

been a while since I had one tho

grave pivot
dusk vessel
#

true

dusk vessel
#

i had one in 0.9.3

#

i dont remember if i even tried putting it in the pistol slot

#

i usually carry a korth there

solid jungle
#

In my last run I was using an RPK just for mutants, 60-rounder was fucking sick. Still took 2 mags to kill a psuedo though

dusk vessel
#

thats just pseudogiants being an hp sponge

#

but thats their strenght anyway

grave pivot
#

Id prefer using explosives

dusk vessel
#

yeah ied work wonders against pseudogiants

#

because they chase after you

solid jungle
#

yeah

dusk vessel
#

generally using explosives smart can make a lot of fights way easier

grave pivot
#

I do have loads of VOG-25s tho... I stopped using my 9x39 Groza because of the crappy sights and iron sight.. 🤔

#

I should find an AK that can accomodate a UBGL.

dusk vessel
#

AEK-971 is

#

iirc

#

and its almost as good as the aks74 u

#

since you play with mags they have the same mag capacity

#

thats where normally the aks74u tac wins over the aek

solid jungle
#

I accepted the big game hunting quest in Jupiter, not knowing what it was and almost shat myself. But the RPK (and having 500 rounds of HP) came in very clutch

dusk vessel
#

big game i always do using ied

#

if i shoot them i end up spending more on ammo than i get for killing them

grave pivot
#

Is the big game one with the Controller? I have vague memories about saving a squad of stalkers from a train tunnel..

solid jungle
#

I didn't realize it would spawn 4 psuedos. I figured there would just be one

dusk vessel
solid jungle
#

No, it spawns 3 pseudos and then a 4th really big one

dusk vessel
#

since you cant headshot the controller for that quest

#

to preserve its brain

grave pivot
dusk vessel
#

have killed some 100 stalkers

grave pivot
# dusk vessel day 1

I usually give my military or isg stalkers dumb names like "Private Bricksack" or "Corporal Bate Hodycams" KekSkew

dusk vessel
#

kinda wish my character could have german instead of english voicelines

#

since im native speaker myself

grave pivot
#

Wish i could make my character sound more silly

dusk vessel
#

i picked the longest military rank i could find

solid jungle
grave pivot
#

Was the big pseudogiant as big as the tunnel?

solid jungle
#

Yeah just about. It was so big the textures on it looked fucked up

you can enable a crosshair in mcm if you want to

dusk vessel

i dont play with crosshair but i know the option exists in gamma

#

try this

#

i cant say if it works

All that I repaired an SV-98 for like 1.7k rubles and he gave me 31k rubles KekSkew

dusk vessel

how much you get for a quest like this

Ohhh

#

Well luckily I got an SV-98 off a bounty I wassupposed to collect

And it was a Monolith

hey. one question..should i enable zcp 1.5d or not?

dusk vessel
#

no

#

keep the 1.4 balanced spawns enabled

#

the category 1.5 is in is called "do not activate"

mortal stratus
#

installed KVMA and this happens ;-;

dusk vessel
#

kvma is known to cause issues

mortal stratus
#

well yeah, but is there a workaround to dis?

#

dusk vessel
#

personally i would recomand simply disabling kvma

#

otherwise you can ask in modded gamma support

mortal stratus
#

alrighty i'll try to restart my pc

wintry nova
#

Are there any additional map mods that are useable with gamma?

celest sparrow
#

No

#

Oh wait

#

I forgot the New Levels exist glorptard

so apparently to aaccess the north you have to shut down BOTH braian scorcher and mmiracle machine

blissful ivy

Yes

Nothing new

Brian scorcher clueless

bright yew

i did the braian scorcher first lol cus the story told me to, then i go north and its fucked

#

Does the mm radar blocker not work lol @celest sparrow

blissful ivy

Mfw story also says to disable mm

#

I remember it gives a yellow little objective on mm

You don’t get a quest for it as far as I remember

yellow for bs

is that quest bugged?

you mean how to trigger it popping up?

I'm being facetious

I can't find that creature though?

He was across the map heh

I'd honestly play like that if I was unemployed

that was really funny

#

i think i was drunk and kept making jokes on it

blissful ivy

someone fucking DID THAT?

#

thats... kinda sick actually

#

now i wanna try that

#

i kinda want to play a run where i made a fucking annotated map of places from memory and shit

celest sparrow
#

they once posted a photo of their journal with a candle on the side

thats cool

#

now i need to do this

#

just need a journal

preferably leather bound

in all my years... finally... a type c repair kit

easy to find one tho

Yeh just wait till dudes die, and take it off them, or take their gun and kill for it

sick yoke
#

Does ih change how pdas work or something

blissful ivy
#

No

#

You just dont start with one

#

Thats it

sick yoke
#

Cause from what I remember you can’t use other stalker pdas as your own pda

blissful ivy
#

You can in base game

#

Just finnicky

dusk vessel
#

and run them over

#

thats what i did

blissful ivy
#

I cant bring myself to enter that shithole

#

Regardless

#

So nah imma just murder

dusk vessel
celest sparrow
blissful ivy
#

And everyone hates you

#

With a passion

dusk vessel

and everyone shoots you, even trader faction

blissful ivy
#

Yep

#

No butcher

sick yoke
#

Whenever I equipped someone else’s pda it would just show the randomly generated messages and nothing else

blissful ivy
dusk vessel
#

i could use the sellable pdas right off the bat

blissful ivy
#

Idk man

dusk vessel
#

in my game

blissful ivy
#

Works for me

sick yoke
#

Inb4 milspec pda changes it

last mesa
#

When using the dedicated map key it worked for me

dusk vessel
#

the whole paying a technician to unlock them is just to find hidden routes

blissful ivy
#

Or the job board

dusk vessel
#

i forgot if stashes are too

last mesa
#

Didn't try normal PDA key though

sick yoke
#

Just the standard “open pda” key pretty sure

blissful ivy
#

Also pda hacking is a must imo

#

For blackroad

celest sparrow
dusk vessel
#

too stressful for me

blissful ivy
#

I play it more than normal gameplay

#

More fun

#

Because more stress

dusk vessel
#

if i wanna push myself, i play cs on highest elo

blissful ivy
#

Thrill seeker

dusk vessel
#

gamma is just for fun for me

blissful ivy
#

Cs player

sick yoke

It’s probably something goofy like “open PDA” key doesn’t work but any other keybind does

celest sparrow
#

me

blissful ivy
blissful ivy
#

Funny

dusk vessel
#

love walking around cordon

#

and getting hit by 5 psysuckers

#

killed 1 before this clip too

sick yoke
#

Yeah thought so

celest sparrow
#

night mutants be like

blissful ivy
#

Blackroad is still some of the most fun ive had

#

In gamma

#

Mostly because using weapons you never use makes it interesting

#

In a normal run, you use anything you want, since its really not hard to get

dusk vessel
blissful ivy
#

But blackroad is all about improvisation and scraping by

dusk vessel
#

but all the D types are red

blissful ivy
#

Unless youre lucky

#

Like that

dusk vessel
#

had an XM M4

#

with all green parts except 1

blissful ivy
#

I had an amb green barrel, the i got lucky with a 9x39 ammo spawn

dusk vessel
#

by killing 1 squad of clear sky with a car

blissful ivy
#

So i had 20 ap rounds

#

Im gonna use that tactic now that i think about it

#

But for now, imma uninstall gamma and reinstall on my new drive, just gonna take note of my modlist

celest sparrow
#

Darkscape killing shit with the car for I&H hmm

dusk vessel
#

take your LTX config file from anomaly

blissful ivy
celest sparrow
#

I want to try it but sleep

dusk vessel
#

i could not be asked to spend 30 minuites rebinding everything

blissful ivy
#

Well i only rebound like 4 things but still

dusk vessel
#

i use completely custom binds

#

so

blissful ivy
#

I really only did ubgl and alt aim keys, and changed which num keys do what

dusk vessel
#

i didnt like knife on 1

#

i put the right side of your inventory slot to 1, then the second main weapon slot to 2, then the meele to 3 because thats where i put my pistol, the grenade to 4 and the actual knife in binocular slot to 5

#

idk if thats weird or not

#

also use diff binds to sprint and crouch

#

and lean

#

so, mp5 on 1, g3 dmr on 2, usp-s on 3, nade on 4, knife on 5

#

then bolt 6

blissful ivy
#

on 1?

dusk vessel
#

like

blissful ivy
#

oh right

dusk vessel
blissful ivy
#

the secondary slot was 1

#

then primary was 2 and 3

#

yeah that

dusk vessel
#

i have a wooting so if controllers were supported i could have that working too

#

but its fine this way too

#

could switch weapon 1/2 around and just switch them in my inventory

#

doesent make a different in gameplay

#

except the right gun is closer to your inventory

#

Any news on when the new update is dropping?

blissful ivy

no

why would there be an update soon?

updates are yearly at best and theyre not always major

What do you folks think of SoC?

near estuary
# stuck sierra What do you folks think of SoC?

It hasn't aged terribly well, especially when it comes to the combat system. Story is also not much to write home about. Main upside is the atmosphere, I've never seen anything quite like it. It's one of my childhood favorites and I played it 10+ times.

stuck sierra
#

I wanna play something from the original trilogy, not sure what

near estuary
#

CoP is the objectively best one when it comes to gameplay

stuck sierra
#

The atmosphere of SoC is

#

Incredible

brisk warren
#

shoc is a great game but really does show its age now

#

which is totally explicable

#

its almost 19 years old

#

if you want to play one of the old games vanilla then probably CoP is your best bet but if you just want to experience the cool story and such then radiophobia isn't a bad way to go at all

Or maybe I just have a higher tolerance for that shit. Did the same with TES and Fallout, too. Started with Oblivion, went to Skyrim, went back and played Morrowind and Morrowinds my favorite. Started with FO3, played NV and 4, then went back and played FO1 and FO2 and FO2 ended up being my favorite.

fair remnant
#

For some reason the hud and PSU power activation key is always bound to the same key

#

It was originally on H, I bound PSU activation to ALT and the hud reset followed

#

Nevermind im a bumbling fool ive solved it

atomic pebble
# stuck sierra Is it the radiophobia 3 on ModDB?

Radiophobia 3 is a bad choice if u want try a "SoC but modern" for a first playthrought because isn't a remaster or smth, is a reinvention, light compared to other reinventions but keep being one.
I wish that Rammaken make a Chernobyl Renewal Mod in the future, his vanilla+ are amazing.

formal mountain
#

i was about to go defend barrier but i saw one merc at the swamp holding an hk416 and i was like

dusk vessel
#

as long as its not one of their squadmates

blissful ivy
#

just make sure you dont go below -1000

#

and youre ok

dusk vessel
#

i think killing a named npc puts it to -3000

#

of said faction, not sure which

#

ah and if you kill neutral stalkers your reputation takes a hit but its easily recovered by giving another merc some porn magazine

dusk vessel
#

they will just aggro anyway

#

i forget if they do ngl

#

i dont use disguises unless im going into ecologist bunkers for the recepies

#

kinda sucks the first 2 dont also spawn on stalkers

vapid cobalt
#

i would kill for some ликанка rn

formal mountain
#

I have no idea why i just got shot at or by who

#

-1 life.

quasi python
#

WHY does cold blooded betrayal mission fail from the dude dying? im supposed to kill him and take the arti KekSkew

#

something kills the dude before i can get to him and it fails the mission

rose musk
#

if the target dies by someone other than you it counts as the stalker that killed it "taking" the artifact

#

even if it's still on the body

#

so it has to be you that kills them

formal mountain

monolith or sin?

better yet just take a SS of the task before entering the zone

quasi python
#

sin

rose musk
#

okay

quasi python
#

i left the game cus it made me sad sadge

rose musk

so if there is ever a task to kill a SIN/mono south of AW it will auto fail

wintry nova
#

If one lost signal quest gets bugged are the rest of them bugged for that playthrough?

steep elm
#

wdym bugged

wintry nova
#

had the 4 merc bodyies i was supposed to find in WT get thrown all over by physics glitch

steep elm
wintry nova
#

only found 3, since then, no lost signal from any other faction is generating bodies

steep elm
#

weird

#

never encountered that issue before

wintry nova
#

it sbeen like a week in game, and ieven though i cancelled that quest, the 3 bodies of 4 that I could find are in the same spots

quasi python
#

lost signal in meadow is best lol

wintry nova
#

that's one that I just got from freedom to test out wether or not i was bugged, and sure enough, no bodies

#

so i think i don't get lost signal on this character anymore, which sucks because I don't have a good way to farm nato gear as a merc now

quasi python
#

i kinda have the same prob except it does spawn bodies but doesnt delete the old ones. so bodies just pile

quasi python
#

what are the anomilous rf signals for artifacts and stuff?

dusk vessel
#

p sure you have to find them

#

they can spawn on dead stalkers iirc

quasi python
#

yea what they do

dusk vessel
#

its like a note

#

that tells you the frequency

#

im not sure its the same every playthrough, kind of like a lost signal quest

quasi python
#

so i can use the RF to find the artis?

blissful ivy
#

no

#

need detector

#

you can find it

quasi python
#

wtf the signals for then

blissful ivy
#

but not find it

quasi python
#

ohhhh

blissful ivy
#

it wont become interactable

#

its just the location

#

and from further away

#

its decent for finding X artifact

#

with better range

#

but its not good if you just need artis generally

quasi python
#

ok but i have to be in the same map as the anomoly

blissful ivy
#

still need grizz tho

#

or veles

#

yes

#

that too

quasi python
#

then how tf i know when to tune to that frew?

#

freq?

#

is there a map for where certain artis possible spawn

blissful ivy
#

you can find a note that has the frequency

#

for certain artis

#

the map is called north, middle and south maps

quasi python
#

okok

blissful ivy
#

south is rostok and down (excluding truck cem)

#

and then AW and red forest region is middle, and north is above that

#

north is where the goodies are

obviously

also gets 7 belt slots

nvm

7 slots is giga but batteries makes me never wanna touch it

dusk vessel

idc i love this armour

the batteries are worth it imo

rose musk

with the context of no traders and slightly reduced drops overall

could I even source the batteries to keep it running

dusk vessel

ah
