[rose musk]

[hushed sphinx]

but why

[rose musk]

for some stashes

well

chance at stashes

and trying to find an electronics book

got respawns while looting

only yellow I got was in red forest

whata fucked up day

[valid crater]

I&H? 🤡

[marsh bridge]

lurker has at max condition 20% stam recovery

15% rad resist and 12+kg carry weight

[rose musk]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-cry-meme-black-guy-crying-black-guy-gif-21748318

Yeah

[valid crater]

Well, I'm on over 1k Kills, Legend rank, Top of the list ... and got only 3! yellow stashes. 1 in Cordon, Basic Tools, 2nd I forgot where it was, but it got Advanced tools ... and third was in Prip Outskirts, and guess what: Basic Tools. I rolled the 6%. 🤪😂

[rose musk]

oh hell nah I aint playing with stash chances that low

think i'm at 8 in like 30 hours

just closed thegame to check swtor auctions think i'm around 700 kills

boutta hop back on in a sec

[valid crater]

The game is also becoming unplayable on BRR + I&H now. I get hitsquads sent after me constantly. Costs more ammo and meds than it gains, so I should hurry up and finish the remaining faction leaders.

[rose musk]

thankfully I am in an ammo surplus now as of 2 real life hours worth of playtime

finally got the 5th advanced

solid luck on the few AW yellows I did get

[valid crater]

Average day now ... up to two hitsquads at once. 🤪

And I'm still in that Medium UNISG armor I got from a stash. Thankfully it got 5 slots for artefacts.

[rose musk]

man I swear, my loading screens are like less than 30 sec once i'm in the game but closing the game and opening it again it's like 5 mins

[valid crater]

First load = puts everything in the RAM, future loads = all is there already.

[rose musk]

should really upgrade at some point my shit is so old

no upgrades in the suit

would be nice to have the 5th slot but I haven't commited yet

could also go for the science suit if I wanted 6

[valid crater]

I'm also still using a MP5SD, so much 9mm ammo. And a M4A1 with M203 nade launcher, the nades especially for the occasional UNISG/Sin encounters. Normal nade - switch - 40mm as backup. Never failed so far.

[rose musk]

I have a g36k i'm sitting on praying for a UBGL to drop

[valid crater]

9mm AP full auto from a 50 round drum mag kills everything.

[rose musk]

once it does i'm going BS insta

[valid crater]

BS I did with a phantom star after halfways in, better fight out than in.

[rose musk]

I do have one, but with the p90 i'm pretty confident I can just W key through

take in that 57% exo helm

[valid crater]

Some in there had crazy scary high caliber weapons.

[rose musk]

i'll be chilling

[valid crater]

This was my biggest WTF moment so far ... that Legend Monolith in Miracle Machine ... thank god he was stuck there and did not move.

[rose musk]

whoa wtf

are you on current patch?

[valid crater]

4f something I think.

Of BRR.

[rose musk]

ik grok replaced the few sin he tried to put in with burers

but never seen mono in there

[valid crater]

Game is from a couple of weeks ago, and I have all the burers and such.

[rose musk]

funky

[valid crater]

But that Mono there surprised me too. I naded the Burer after switching off MM and it was still alive, when I peeked again it was dead and then after I saw that Mono I knew why.

[rose musk]

speaking of high tiers

camping the MM entrance

this remington was such a good investment

[valid crater]

Hehe, yes. I enjoy that Coonan very much aswell.

The game before I found a S3 Veresk with green barrel on Day 2. That was fun.

This run I found a 9A91 on day 2, but the trigger was only 4%, so about 17% jam chance. And up to today, day 23, I've not found a better trigger for that weapon. 🤡

[rose musk]

i've more or less ran a bizon and mp5 for the entire run

swapping out shotguns are rifles as I got ammo

[rose musk]

oh baby

think i'm going science suit off that pickup

[valid crater]

Worth it.

And it's amazing how different RNG can be for I&H runs. The game before I've had lots of rare PDAs with yellow stashes, and this game just the total 3 in general. Same settings.

[lost bridge]

Is Ukraine at 8pm still that bright? Cuz 8pm in my country is already night or are the games just goofy with the day/night

[rose musk]

very true, the run would have been extremely different had I not gotten a day 1 knife spawn on a random bench in garbage

[tough prawn]

In summer sure

[lost bridge]

Ohh I see

[hushed sphinx]

summers have longer days pretty much everywhere, and the time difference gets more extreme further north or south you go, you probably live closer to the equator than ukraine

[pulsar flax]

Guys is there any way to change factions as it will be in the next update? Im about to start a new run and i want Duty to be enemy with Clear Sky.

[tough prawn]

Is that iwp btw

[hushed pier]

Wtf this duty guy just dropped an exo repair kit

hahahhahah

[lost bridge]

Yesss

[hexed musk]

Are there other modpacks like Gamma?

[rose musk]

probably

[hexed musk]

https://tenor.com/view/walks-away-wtf-pours-tea-gif-13981561

[hollow wadi]

Errrrrrm
Zero Investment

(higher quality)

[hexed musk]

Graphics quality? I got potuter

[hollow wadi]

You'll be fine

[whole monolith]

EFP - much easier progression

Also guns are not tiered the same way as in gamma - you can end game with anything really

And you can find all tools in like one day of playing.

Cause it’s not random. It goes strictly by the order basic, advanced, expert, med, gunsmithing. And then it resets. But this means you can randomly get your first purple stash in like Pripyat🤭

Not much north restrictions either. Just MM to go past red forest and to Jupiter

In EFP BS is the last thing I do before hospital and NPP

[unreal tree]

How can I make the names highlight in red like yours?

[thick sedge]

can I even spawn an item with desired percentages

x-ray engine borked my linux and I don't wanna lose insane loot luck I had in my 3 hour playthru

[cursive sparrow]

Playing as Monolith is really something lemme tell you that much

[tough prawn]

Is it good? I saw the cheeki review

[cinder trout]

wish this modpack was more stable, crashes so extremely often (currently in radar)
and no, this is not a support question, its a rant

[wintry nova]

Cultured, are we

[hollow wadi]

I don't know who that is

[cinder trout]

you really dont know who Cheeky Breeki is? (Youtuber)

[cursive sparrow]

so cultured I can't find a gunsmith or medical tools 😛

[cursive sparrow]

Strange, I usually get maybe 1 crash per 10-16h of gameplay

[cinder trout]

then my freshly installed but noth otherwise modified installation is borked,
no other game crashes at all.

4 times alone on radar today.
And no logfile that I know of what causes it

[wintry nova]

Same fucking thing happened to me

[lost bridge]

There's also Old World, and HACR

Also Zona

[dull warren]

I get a crash per like 15-20 hours tbh

[lost bridge]

That Saiga-12k sounds so fucking awesome

The crackling blasts, and the powerful echos coming from it

[tough prawn]

CheekiBreeki

He does modpack reviews

And mod reviews for stalker

Pretty nice watch

And hes french too

[tough prawn]

I tried Old World Forgotten Zone and it wasnt for me

It plays on nostalgia but the gunplay i think is better than gamma

I would like to try HACR tho

That one looks good

[lost bridge]

HACR is nice, never tried it but I hear it has similar stuff with GAMMA but with less tedious grind on maintaining your shit

[tough prawn]

Yeah and i like that it has new maps in there aswell

[hollow wadi]

I watch 0 stalker content so no

[tough prawn]

Oh

I just thought since you mentioned zero investment

Must be a good mod

[lost bridge]

Zero Investment is a very silly mod

I saw the review from cheeki. It does have cool gameplay

[atomic pebble]

The mod is soooo good that has the MOTY on certain stalkerweb

[lost bridge]

But you should prepare your eyes

[tough prawn]

Yeah i saw the anime shit

I think ill try it

[atomic pebble]

The past year was soooo RIGHT that the best mods of the year are inspired on:
Anything
Silent Hill
Fallout
Borderlands

[minor radish]

so much clicking
still won't be enough to kill a pseudogiant

[dull warren]

auto clicker time

[grave pivot]

well... i did it..

Now what?

Oh right, im still 4.3 Million Rubles from my goal, and i havent made a hideout for myself.

[grave pivot]

Carry a few explosives and you'll be fine

Ukraine at Night: You drive with like 120km/h and suddenly a Kamaz truck, totally dirty and almost no visible lights "stands" in front of you going 30km/h. :þ It's usually pitch black there, depending on season.

[lost bridge]

Oh damn, that is extremely dark

[valid crater]

Yeah, I was shocked by myself when I was there, it's a total difference compared to how bright Germany is, mainly due to some light up city everywhere.

[minor radish]

wish I can remove the vertical grip that's on some of the gun so I can attach a GL, oh well

[stuck sierra]

It’s bright in cities in Ukraine too

[dusk vessel]

there is electricity shedules

ukranians dont have electricity half the day

[stuck sierra]

Unless the district got no power

[dusk vessel]

i play with some and its common for them to just disconect mid game

[grave pivot]

Grenades

[valid crater]

Yes, but they turn off street lighting at like 22:00.

[stuck sierra]

Do you mean on?

[minor radish]

suckass aim

[stuck sierra]

And those get shut down too btw

[grave pivot]

Aim better

[stuck sierra]

Why do that

When you can fill out

Auto*

Full auto

I hate auto correct

[valid crater]

How it looked at the border to UA, and when you got into Lwiw. Was a fun time back then.

[grave pivot]

I guess if you want to save on ammo

Or dont have any other options

[stuck sierra]

Lowkey

This discussion is in the edge of the rules so

I’d be careful if I were you

[dusk vessel]

im not continuing it

i understand its not a political server

[grave pivot]

I often use nades or UBGLs if i want something gone Immediately

Its all a matter of preference tbh

[grave solar]

kill and teabag

[cursive sparrow]

Is the good prof kicking the shit out of the dude on the ground, or is this the Zone afterparty?

[edgy moon]

the later I guess

Have a quest to kill someone in science lab, sniped him and thought I got away cleanly

Then I turn around and half the Yantar is behind me

[keen bronze]

[frail crow]

did they remove invictus channel

[rigid stream]

it got removed like half a year ago.

[hollow wadi]

It has been gutted and repurposed for moderation means

[stuck sierra]

Hi

[lost bridge]

Fanatic died in my run cuz there was a soldier nearby 😔

Wasn't even part of my squad, somehow wandered about and got killed

[stiff sail]

I feel like both have equal chances of getting mugged

Also equal chances of contracting tetanus

[hard crown]

!toolkit

!tools

[dawn marten]

@hard crown
To get a yellow stash, finish 7 tasks, then keep doing things that will get you stash coordinates (e.g. more tasks, opening PDAs, looting bodies). You get a 50% chance of receiving a yellow stash each time. This resets upon finding a yellow stash - then you need to do 7 more tasks, and look for more stash coordinates afterwards.
⠀

[stuck sierra]

So

My companion died

He was a loner in a leather jacket

But

I can reload a save to bring him back

One small issue

I did end up finding

A Spartan helmet

Tough choices

[lost bridge]

That spartan helmet is worth more than your companion tbh

You can just grab another companion in Cordon for free

[stuck sierra]

Well

[wheat ermine]

Is it like this now in gamma as a base sound or its sound pack?

[stuck sierra]

Ima save again

[dusk vessel]

spartan helmets arent that rare

[stuck sierra]

Reload to the save where he is alive

[dusk vessel]

ive found one already and i got advanced tools

[stuck sierra]

I have

11 scavenging

[dusk vessel]

i have 18

[stuck sierra]

Yeah

[dusk vessel]

been just killing people

[lost bridge]

No that's from another stalker mod called IWP

[stuck sierra]

Iirc

[stuck sierra]

Spartans have an insanely big chance to disassemble if ur scav level is below 17

[dusk vessel]

fair

[wheat ermine]

What sound pack does it use?

[lost bridge]

Base IWP sounds

[wheat ermine]

Okk, ok. Thanks.

Sounds kinda juicy.

Not gonna lie.

[lost bridge]

All the sounds are very loud and will give your ear a bad feeling

But god they sound fantastic

[stuck sierra]

I need that Spartan but I want my companion to retire

I planned to drop him off after this mission so he can live a peaceful life

One mission before retirement, man

[stiff sail]

That conscript you call a companion has a duty to serve you

https://tenor.com/view/rocky-iv-dolph-lundgren-captain-ivan-drago-if-he-dies-he-dies-dies-gif-4956349

Steps into a whirligig anomaly as soon as you let him

[rough moth]

Such is life when you cross Mother Zone!

[stuck sierra]

We just cleared out a massive camp of Sinners and he got sniped by my mirage clone

[blissful ivy]

My companions must survive

I like to keep them

I get attached to them

[stuck sierra]

Okay so

[stiff sail]

I play warfare mode too much to get attached to companions

[stuck sierra]

I am doing mirage quest and apparently it trapped me

I cannot leave the place now

https://tenor.com/view/dog-goofy-looking-funny-meme-gif-17436169600529352523

[blissful ivy]

Ew warfare

Hate warfare, ran like shit, and its boring

[stuck sierra]

Uh

How do I leave

[blissful ivy]

Too bad

You live there now

[stuck sierra]

Seriously tho

[formal mountain]

The f you mean how do i leave

[stuck sierra]

I can’t leave the place

[formal mountain]

From where you enterered

[stuck sierra]

Nuhuh

[formal mountain]

Or keep going forward

[stuck sierra]

I get skyrimmed back

[formal mountain]

[stuck sierra]

CONTROLLER?

IN A TIGHT CORRIDOR?

EXCUSE ME?

So apparently I am fighting sidorovich

2 controllers, actually

I just looked up how to do the mirage quest

What is this cocaine induced fever dream of a quest

[stuck sierra]

And I will only get paid like 20k for it

Actual insanity

[hard crown]

guys i m usihng frosty weapon pack

however when i put scopes on the gun the flip up ironsights on the tx15 / m4

dont go down and obstruct vision

[elfin zodiac]

Haven't played gamma for a while, I decided to play unisig

[strange sierra]

Guys,who knows:can arts disappear from here?

[valid crater]

Go ask in Modded Gamma Support.

[valid crater]

It's the by far most fun and hilarious part of all the quests. 🤡😂😁

[quasi grove]

ok is it just me or does in the direction of Ashot at yanov station cause serious lag?

[valid crater]

Hmmm, I usually kill him and delete his body with autoloot. 🤔 I can't stand that prick.

[native nebula]

Why is that

[hard crown]

i solved it by myslef lucklily

[stuck sierra]

Go find a teletubby in white uniform

Slay him

And despawn his body

[quasi grove]

can't i'm doing invictus

[stuck sierra]

Despawn as if leave the area

And re enter

It will delete his body

[quasi grove]

also he seems to have dropped under the map ...

[stuck sierra]

As long as the white teletubby doesn’t exist the lag should be lesser

[quasi grove]

i mean he seems to exist just under the map texture...

he still exists on the map(pda)

[stuck sierra]

You killed him, yes?

[quasi grove]

nope

[graceful quiver]

#1446486363175129248 message

[stuck sierra]

Well

Idk, gotta find a way to kill it

[quasi grove]

the fact i'm storing 50k+ items in here probably doesn't help

[dusk vessel]

bruhhhh

what

you do know that the engine can only have so many

[lethal patrol]

hoarding final boss

[dusk vessel]

debloat your stashes please

what the fuck

thats whats causing your lag mate

[native nebula]

What can you even hoard that much? Every gun times 12?

[quasi grove]

to be fair 90% of that is ammo and ammo parts

[dusk vessel]

craft it into ammo

and sell ammo you dont need ig

[native nebula]

Sell it or craft it in to usable ammo

[quasi grove]

I've got like 12k pistol gunpowder

[stuck sierra]

How tanky is the big burer

[quasi grove]

not sure seems to be as tanky as pseudo

[native nebula]

Time your shots correctly. For me it took 20 something 5.45 HP

[dusk vessel]

make ap rounds

[stuck sierra]

The hell is this

[quasi grove]

might be me being bad at counting rounds

[stuck sierra]

Also what’s with the radiation after I kill the controllers

[quasi grove]

but but but i don't use pistol AP

[dusk vessel]

less i thought

[stuck sierra]

Radiation started to literally microwave me

[dusk vessel]

i never had trouble killing the bug burer

IED are your best friend

[stuck sierra]

Also he just demolished my companion

[dusk vessel]

i tell my companion to wait before i go into places i now they will die

[native nebula]

Make and sell it for fuckton of money.

[steep elm]

hey man

never underestimate hoarder capabilities.

[native nebula]

Unless that bastard throws it into you.

[dusk vessel]

make 5.7x28 ap rounds

sell it

[steep elm]

STALKER is a hoarding sim for me too.

[dusk vessel]

well it is a hoarding sim by design

but you dont have to overdo it like this

[quasi grove]

but i already have a fuckton of money

[dusk vessel]

then take the damn pistol gunpowder and drop it

then leave the level

[native nebula]

Only things worth hoarding are good armor that you dont have the tools rn or weapons. All mutant parts and artefacts. That all.

[dusk vessel]

it will despawn

[quasi grove]

but it's wasteful

[dusk vessel]

its lagging your game

[native nebula]

You could have 2 fucktons of money.

[quasi grove]

(i might have a problem)

[native nebula]

They are things called patches. That dont weight anything and can be turned in for tasks and good money.

i sell patches for artis

I keep them and go to ecologists or CS and if they need them they give artefacts.

Lets go with that.

[hushed pier]

which yall picking

[native nebula]

PMC

[hushed pier]

looks im guessing

[native nebula]

No. I just enjoy the shorter reload times and lower recoil.

[dusk vessel]

95 drummer

personally because i dont mind higher recoil

[hushed pier]

its only like 6 higher

[dusk vessel]

the stat means little

its a wonky calculation of recoil

no step back is insanely fun if you box the monos in the opposite house and use chimera hunter in close quarters

i blocked the entrance of the house they spawn in instead

ive had them just not spawn in there

not worth my time

inventory looks so cluttered XD

im used to having 3 whole items

blackroad mentality

[rigid stream]

force of habit. to loot.

even though i don't need anything at that point

other ill just have my inventory more clean

[blissful ivy]

i mean it might also be the inventory style from that mod

and also the fact i favorite my shit

everything up top

[rigid stream]

i know people perfer the vanilla hud.
but for me who play on a smaller native resolution, any extra inventory space grid is welcome without wasting too much time scrolling

*also its better for screenshotting loadouts

[blissful ivy]

what do you play on?

inb4 1280x720

[rigid stream]

native 1366x768
which is my laptop's max resolution

[blissful ivy]

yikers

oh, laptop

[rigid stream]

im a shitbox player afterall.

[blissful ivy]

also should i just screenshot my custom mods, and reinstall gamma?

its on an HDD rn

i feel like i should move it to SSD

[tough prawn]

so that fps im seeing i assume is how its actually playing

or is just the video rendered at 25 fps

[blissful ivy]

i mean i guess i could take all my mods and zip them up

[tough prawn]

definitely would help with almost everything

[rigid stream]

yeah you should.
and have the mod archived you got on for faster addon install later,
rather than searching whole moddb or #1035807043933720576

[blissful ivy]

yeah i mean im thinking of just zipping up all the mods

from in the folder

and storing them elsewhere

not like mo2 will need them

[rigid stream]

thats what i did when i decide to reinstall
since the modlist on the previous one are just a damn mess (in that span of 0.9.0 to 0.9.4)

[blissful ivy]

im on 0.9.3.1

or wait

hold on

know what? doesnt matter

not gonna be on it for long

[rigid stream]

the more you update the currerent gamma, the modlist slowly become messy to manage.
specially for people who plays with plenty of addons

a reinstall really is refreshing

[blissful ivy]

oh, thats what you mean, yeah i mean i just want my mods to stick around XD so zip it is

[rigid stream]

yeah, just zip the mods that you still want to use it.

[blissful ivy]

so... how do i save my MCM settings

[rigid stream]

copy this whole mod i suppose and zip it somewhere.

[blissful ivy]

ok so go into the mod folder, find that mod, zip it, gotcha

I thought brain scorcher was bad on gamma

Playing the original games cause they were on sale and this is the most aids fucking experience ive ever played

[formal mountain]

oke

[obtuse orbit]

😭

[atomic pebble]

sounds like a skill issue

[lost bridge]

At least by the time you reload you're ready to shoot again and don't have to overdose on all the drugs you looted from a drug store to fix your limbs because the og games didn't have that ridiculous ahh system

[formal mountain]

because they hear the reload and push, that's literally how it works

it's not happening by chance

[signal gulch]

They also hear me ADS at the corner too I guess

Atleast the game lets you save whenever you want

If I had to restart at certain checkpoints I would genuinely just give up lol

Welp time to play clear sky now

[atomic pebble]

If u have problems with SoC with CS u will have

[signal gulch]

Great 👍

I just want to see the story in full lol

[thick sedge]

[celest sparrow]

Funny how it works the same with GAMMA

Albeit worse

[west wyvern]

Does gamma run on windows 7

[celest sparrow]

[west wyvern]

Genuinely wanna know

[blissful ivy]

it can

i wouldnt

since you should have 10

or 11

[steep elm]

yuck win11

[west wyvern]

Alr

Imma try getting gamma mobile again later

[raw verge]

Can i run Gamma on my smart fridge?

[atomic pebble]

Surely would be playable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT7ze16HA5Y&t=2s

[raw verge]

Or my blood sugar monitor?

[west wyvern]

I got to the menu a while back, since then winalator has improved

[atomic pebble]

3 hours loading the world for first time if it don't crash before

I've gotten anomaly running 30 ish fps

This bad boy has:

• Gyroscope (you can tilt the mouse to lean).
• Pressure-Sensitive buttons (allowing you to make the mouse do different things with deeper clicks).
• 13 Configurable buttons, which in their spectacular software can be set to do MULTIPLE THINGS.
• Haptic Feedback.
• Onboard Memory to put 20+ profiles onto.
• Adjustable feet with "joystick extenders" so you can use the mouse's Gyro to turn it into a controller.
• 26K Pixart Sensor with a DPI range of 50 - 26,000.

The ultimate mouse to play GAMMA with, because GAMMA has thousands of keybinds (it's an exxageration, but still).

I have 13 buttons, mapped to do... 18 things

[dusk vessel]

I have a keyboard with magnetic keys so it can detect 0.1mm differences in depth of being pressed and translate it to controller inputs

If gamma gets controller support id use it

[teal turtle]

I have a Wooting Two HE.

[dusk vessel]

I got the exact same one

German layout though

[teal turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/brotherhood-gif-22994469

[dusk vessel]

Bought it in late 2022 arrived mid 2023

This keyboard has not failed me once

Its not showing any signs of wear either

[teal turtle]

I bought it late last year, as a replacement for my ABSOLUTE GODFORSAKEN PIECE OF DOGSHIT Keychron K5 Max, whose PCB would break every 2.5 months. I still need to ask for a refund...

[dusk vessel]

I use this keyboard to compete at the top level in racing games

Its very good

[teal turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/but-wait-nope-gif-14217892

Use a controller... or a wheel?

[dusk vessel]

Nah id win

https://streamable.com/c54lpz

[teal turtle]

Original keycaps and switches?

[dusk vessel]

yes

[teal turtle]

I haven't messed with the controller mode yet. I still need to adjust how I type. Sometimes a - will just break up my text.

This keyboard is SENSITIVE.

Which is good

[dusk vessel]

ah yeah

i set it to super sensetive

type shit

[teal turtle]

type shit

[teal turtle]

Barely have to press and it registers

[dusk vessel]

its lovely

it means i dont really abuse any keys

[teal turtle]

If only you could do that to a man/woman.

[dusk vessel]

LMAO

anyway id use this for stalker gamma if it was supported

[teal turtle]

I really should use the controller mode for games that were ported from Playstation/XBOX, like COD BO Cold War.

[dusk vessel]

i use it for racing mostly

[teal turtle]

The walk mode is a tad too slow, jogging is a tad too fast.

[dusk vessel]

the other games i play i take advantige of the sensetive keys but not variable input too much

[teal turtle]

I have an idea...

[dusk vessel]

having the 0-100 thing is pretty good for responsiveness

[teal turtle]

Not related to this conversation...

Do I go through the brain scorcher for fun? (Not story mode btw)

[dusk vessel]

id get some more fmj but you can do it with that yeah

mabye some morphine and ibuprofen

[teal turtle]

I sacrificed a lot of FMJ to make HP. Working on sucking some Merc Peener to get 5.56 from them as well.

[dusk vessel]

you can do brain scorcher on that setup though

if you tap fire with that acog the 300 fmj should be enough

[teal turtle]

Wonder if it's worth it. What's the loot like

[dusk vessel]

very nice loot

monos tend to drop good stuff

[teal turtle]

I haven't ran the Brain Scorcher in so long, I barely remember what the mutants/enemies/loot is like.

[dusk vessel]

especially high rank monos

[dusk vessel]

i guess, bring a placeable campfire

i wont tell you anything else

[teal turtle]

If all else fails, I have a suicidal dream and 2 grenades for my UGL.

[dusk vessel]

more fun to find out yourself

[teal turtle]

I don't use YACS.

[dusk vessel]

ah then just yeah

[teal turtle]

I'm thinking Main Save at FOB and then just wing it with quicksaves...

[dusk vessel]

id def buy some morphine though

and one adrenalin

to carry the loot back

[teal turtle]

Good call.

[dusk vessel]

i spend 40% of my money on exo batterys, another 40% on meds

the rest is gunsmithing or armour stuff

lmao

[teal turtle]

Here goes retardation nothing.

[dusk vessel]

good aim with that rifle and youre fine

[teal turtle]

Ahh, yes.

A Controller, and a black geist thing...

[dusk vessel]

i mean 5.56 hp takes very quick care of controllers

they hold nice and still too for headshots

[teal turtle]

I noticed. He was outside. As I was trying to walk in, that black geist thing just fucked me raw.

[dusk vessel]

might be an anomaly ngl

i forgot what its called its kinda rare

[teal turtle]

No, no.

[dusk vessel]

poltergeist?

german word

[teal turtle]

It's one of those Polter/Pyrogeist things, just... black.

If this is what the Brain Scorcher is like, I'm afraid to find out what the other laboratories and the CNPP are like.

[thin orchid]

that's the miracle machine

[dusk vessel]

erm

[teal turtle]

Did I mix up the two places?

[dusk vessel]

yes

i gave you advice for the other one

[thin orchid]

you should try x18 next

[dusk vessel]

miracle machine is just mutants

you did x16

[teal turtle]

[dusk vessel]

x18 is brain scorcher

[thin orchid]

it's dv lab

[dusk vessel]

is it? i forget

mabye its 19

i know mm is x16 but not what bs is

[thin orchid]

yeah bs is x19/10

[lethal steeple]

x19 and x10

[dusk vessel]

i see

almost 6 am and i havent slept

[teal turtle]

Can you imagine why my autistic ass keeps mistaking the Miracle Machine for the Brain Scorcher?

[dusk vessel]

i guess the brain scorcher is nicknamed that by loners

[lethal steeple]

is the brain being scorched tho

[dusk vessel]

because it.. scorches your brain

[teal turtle]

Well, other than finding quested related documents for which I do not have the quest... it wasn't worth it to waste my medical items and ammo on this

[dusk vessel]

you have to turn it off aswell

so it wasnt a waste

[teal turtle]

Well, no...

I couldn't.

[dusk vessel]

if you just disable only the brain scorcher you still cant go north

[teal turtle]

I'm not playing Story Mode.

[dusk vessel]

you need to do miracle machine too

to get access to the north

[thin orchid]

they are turned off if you play without storymode

[teal turtle]

I can get North... I have been North.

[dusk vessel]

oh

well isnt that kind of defeating the whole purpose of the labs

why go into mm at all then lol

[teal turtle]

Exploration and fun

[dusk vessel]

ive never played story mode off

yet i never do the story

curious

still dont know the plot of gamma beyond living legend lmao

probably wont for a bit

ive played the 3 originals fully so i can guess what it is though

[teal turtle]

I should do the story as Military sometime.

[dusk vessel]

you dont get to

unless you switch factions

any way to use nvg's without the scope being super blurry ?

disable the scope blur in 3DSS within the MCM

[quasi lance]

thanks bubba

[steep elm]

Is there a mod you can disable to make it so body marks stay on your mini map if you die or reload?

[celest parcel]

!shader

[dawn marten]

@celest parcel To clean your "Shader Cache", don't use the option in the Anomaly launcher.
Go in this folder: Anomaly\appdata, you'll find a folder called shaders_cache, delete this folder and launch the game normally from MO2, using your preferred DX.

[quasi lance]

oh god its so much better now

=w=

I can snipe at nigh

[blissful ivy]

do you guys think i could beat the entirety of gamma with the sharps rifle?

its one of juans guns

sure its powerful

sure it one shots 95% of the time

but mutants

also the ammo

is just not possible to get iirc

it is

but i cant remember where

ok so its sold by the weirdest set of traders

but i can get it, nevermind, it would be easy

still think i want to give it a shot

it sadly cant be crafted though, its got a recipe from anomaly, and im too lazy to fix it

[dusk vessel]

can run

dont realistically have to kill them

anomalies too

[blissful ivy]

true enough

lets see how this goes

XD

[dusk vessel]

i do wanna do a 1 gun only run at some point

of just regular loner story

[blissful ivy]

got my rifle on spawn though, thought i didnt hate myself enough to scrounge cash to buy it

put it in start loadouts

and a box of ammo, which is 5 rounds XDDD

i have like maybe 15 or 20 on start, idk

[steep elm]

I see some rascal bandito made off with the Sawmill workshop table in Darkscape.

Truly

can't have shit in darkscape man

[blissful ivy]

cant have shit in darkscape, its just zone detroit

its empty and full of criminals, just like detroit

[thick sedge]

can I even spawn items with desired percentages

[blissful ivy]

idk what you mean

but whatever it is, yes

[thick sedge]

"yes" well? spill it!

[thick sedge]

an 18% gun, low % armor etc.

transferring my old save items to a new save

[blissful ivy]

ok i got 26 shots total

and ive got to make them last

each one is a kill if im smart

[blissful ivy]

just start new mate

thats what i do

anyways, the challenge is to use the sharps, chambered in .50-90 sharps, it has incredible damage and armor pen, BUT the ammo is rare and pricey

26 to start

and from there, i just have to make shit work

[thick sedge]

can it penetrate a stalkers balls

[blissful ivy]

but stlaker is up for the challenge

[steep elm]

speaking of criminals

ain't no way renegades can talk like this

[steep elm]

fent is stored in the balls

[blissful ivy]

first kill btw, killed a master loner in AW

rare my ass

[steep elm]

Noice

also holy fuck

literally every time, the first time I go under the train bridge in Darkscape, I instantly get busyhands

never fails

[rigid stream]

f.e.a.r styled AI amirite

[blissful ivy]

alright this is getting out of hand

i think im gonna say fuck this challenge

i wanna use the spoils of war

like brother

come on now

only thing missing is the 100% nosorog and spartan helmet

[quasi lance]

why can I no longer change my load order ??

it just

doesnt work

[rigid stream]

i do sure love doing another run with nothing cuz merc doesn't start with 1911

[blissful ivy]

just put it in starting loadout

[blissful ivy]

also how does one even make custom images like that XD

thats hilarious

also, i just need one part for that ak-12 preacher

and its ok

no challenge for me ig, im not doing all this when its this good of a start

[rigid stream]

install this mod

go to that mod files
find the ui section
there should be a dds file
edit it with paint.net or gimp (anyphotoshop program yadi yada)
slap whatever image you like for your portraits
save and done.

right i forgot the !portrait existd...

[blissful ivy]

ahh ok, cool

anyways im down to 17 cartridges

not bad for all ive earnt

thats 9 shots

started at 25 and 1 in the gun, down to 16 and 1

[thin orchid]

sort by priority instead of mod name

[quasi lance]

thanks

huh

[fluid coyote]

the game has been soo odd on my new run i'm doubting myself when i picked difficulty settings
can i see em in game for what i got for my run or not

[steep elm]

yeah there should be a game progression tab in the settings.

[fluid coyote]

yeah
i see slides

ohh

found it from old msgs

link to git hub hidden modifiers
soo i was on Hard/Survivalist

soo it's just one of em odd runs

[blissful ivy]

should the image be low quality? or can it be high quality? im just wondering

[clever vault]

I might be misremembering stuff, but i think back in the days there was an option to turn on red reticles on PSO type scopes. Is it available now?

[blissful ivy]

yes, just press the mark switch button

MCM > Mark Switch, the keybind is there

[clever vault]

holy shit thank you so much

you have no idea how tormenting it is to play with vss in dusk with dim reticles

[blissful ivy]

[quasi lance]

Gaem broke

Pls fix

[blissful ivy]

krill issue

also whats the point of the strayer having single fire, if the fire rate cap is so low

just leave it in 3 round and use the unlimited rpm cap

much better

feels so much more responsive

[dusk vessel]

same reason the svd shoots as fast as a bolt action i guess

[blissful ivy]

oh that? not anymore, i just edited it to be 180

you never need more than 180 rpm on any rifle for long range

60 is super low

but 180 is enough

thats 3 per second

i do quite like the strayer's firing sound

its fun and punchy

[dusk vessel]

yeah

but its semi auto

you could pull like 500 rpm with a good trigger finger

just wont hit shit scoped in

[blissful ivy]

thats why i left it at 180

i mean for all i care i could give it 1000 and it would essentially be uncapped

[dusk vessel]

i would rather have it be set to as fast as the gun can cycle

and then still take aimed shots

they fixed this in stalker 2

[rigid stream]

since the portrait slot is fairly small. ehhh. pretty much its the best it can get

[blissful ivy]

so if it was like 1kx2k pixels, it wouldnt work?

because i looked and its just brown

because its the center of the image and its too fucking big

[rigid stream]

you have to size the image down

[thick sedge]

it's 123x87 pixels for a portrait

[rigid stream]

yeah..

[rigid stream]

it quite strange the EGUI stretched that shit out and it ended up a bit lower quality.

[thick sedge]

sota ui doesn't

[blissful ivy]

me home, cozy, but small

[rigid stream]

sota ui are just vanilla ui but more customizeable so yeah.

[blissful ivy]

i like it though, its nice :)

[thick sedge]

bro's head will hit the sink if he sleeps on the wrong side

[rigid stream]

or have a nightmare wake up

[blissful ivy]

what am i meant to do brother XDDD

no where else to put it

besides im pretty sure in the zone you sleep with the helmet on

so its ok

@rigid stream yeah that portrait mod is NOT working as intended for me

im fucking dumb

hold on

[graceful quiver]

That is one premium studio apartment in the Zone

[blissful ivy]

nevermind im fucking dumb and i forgor to make it dds

[thick sedge]

use photopea (a site)

export as dds, 'member to make it 123x87 px

[grave solar]

how lucky did I get to find a big boy gun with 100% barrel before I found expert tools ?

[rigid stream]

like any other gun

it just luck

[grave solar]

thank you, thief of joy

except surely you're more likely to find some guns over others, I've found many AKs and SMGs but only one barret

[blissful ivy]

well no shit

[grave solar]

apparently some shit, mr calamity seems to think finding any gun with 100% barrel is equally likely

[blissful ivy]

kinda peak

[blissful ivy]

when did he say that?

he just said its luck, like finding any green barrel gun

and yeah, its just as good a chance a barrett has a good barrel as an ak

you just find more aks

so it gives an illusion of it being common

thats literally it

[grave solar]

It's not an illusion is it, it is more common

[blissful ivy]

its more common because the gun is more common

if barretts dropped like aks, it would be the same

i dont get how its so hard to grasp

hes technically correct, the best kind of correct

[grave solar]

Its not, but you just said it's an illusion which doesnt make sense

[blissful ivy]

it is, aks having "more green barrels" is an illusion

because like i said, if you got barretts like you got aks

you would get the same results roughly

but ofc at the same time you could get 0 green aks and all green barretts

its random

[grave solar]

right we're talking about barrels not guns

[blissful ivy]

pseudo random

yes, the barrel doesnt matter, neither does the gun

its just a pseudo random chance of getting green barrel condition

same as every single part of a gun

[rigid stream]

with the current wpo being fucked up.
it is somewhat easier to get green barrel guns for some reason

[blissful ivy]

this is indeed true

#╓☢stalker-chat message

for example

[rigid stream]

like look at this shit

you tell me thats normal

consider it will always roll the same seed for all weapons in that cropse/stash

[blissful ivy]

oh fuck

emission at the worst possible time

legend exo duty, another master up the road, and i have a .45

thats it

good thing they fucked off for cover

If i had gunsmithing kit id have overpressure .45 rounds

Which do numbers on armor

But i dont

i dont like this, i threw a grenade, i think i killed them all, but one shot at me

but now hes just gone

yo hyperburst kinda awesome

brrt

[dusk vessel]

I wanna do glock19 hornet only run ngl

It seems doable ngl as long as i force fights to be cqb

[dusk vessel]

Also using artigrok so yeah

Fmj+ is crazy strong

[blissful ivy]

its pretty good

i just dont have it

the kit

i got the mod, i just cant make it

maybe i waltz to the swamps and quickly do last dawn

i just fixed that ak-12 preacher

and i have around 60 shots

so thats roughly 30-60 kills, depending on helmet or otherwise

and if i miss or not, no magnification

[fossil parcel]

waiting day after day for any update on that full story rewrite we'll get there one day

[dusk vessel]

i had a question about artigrok i havent used it much

how does it affect enemy ammo being used

[blissful ivy]

it really doesnt

[dusk vessel]

if someone has a say .45 will they use ap against me or just hp or fmj

ah that sucks

[blissful ivy]

not really

[dusk vessel]

id rather have them use the same strong ammo against me to make it more fair

[blissful ivy]

could you imagine 9x21 HP being spewed at you?

dead in 3 seconds

at best

[dusk vessel]

so are they

[blissful ivy]

probably 1.2 seconds

[dusk vessel]

its only fair

[blissful ivy]

not really

[dusk vessel]

less than 1.2

[blissful ivy]

since armor just deletes hp damage

[dusk vessel]

could probably do it in 3 tenths

[blissful ivy]

for you

but not them

[dusk vessel]

true

[blissful ivy]

theres a reason .357 HP can nuke your health

[dusk vessel]

they have a flat armour number you have to break

[blissful ivy]

down to like 40%

in 1 shot

i know that

[fossil parcel]

no matter how hard a game is there are always people who want it to be harder

such is life

[blissful ivy]

it just takes more for HP to break it

gamma is easy by default

[dusk vessel]

i avoid using artifact ammos they seem way to overpowered

[blissful ivy]

so i mean its not absurd

[dusk vessel]

turning a 9x18 stronger than a sniper round

not my thing

[blissful ivy]

this game is really not hard, people saying it is, is kinda dumb

[fossil parcel]

i wouldnt go as far to say easy, but its not as hard as it used to be

[blissful ivy]

its easy, has been for ages

at least 2 years

[fossil parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/timmytoughknuckles-gif-17877644769817608506

[dusk vessel]

it really isnt thats why i said id prefer enemies using the same op ammo

but oh well

[blissful ivy]

as if

[blissful ivy]

i know

[fossil parcel]

but game has certainly gotten way easier

and no part of this game is half as hard as the hospital level in clear sky

[dusk vessel]

always has been

[blissful ivy]

gamma was never really a hardcore modpack

[dusk vessel]

its not supposed to be a super sim or hardcore thing

[native nebula]

Gamma if you know the ways of crafting and overall things. Combat and such are not hard.

[blissful ivy]

i mean if you want to get technical, its very very easy

[dusk vessel]

its still a stalker game

[blissful ivy]

compared to other stalker modpacks

[dusk vessel]

ai is very easily exploited

[blissful ivy]

take literally any russian modpack

[dusk vessel]

of all mutants and npcs

[fossil parcel]

compared to other mod packs it certainly harder but dead air and misery top it difficulty wise

[blissful ivy]

die in 0.0001 seconds because a 9x18 round touched you

unless you have 95% armor rating

in which case its 0.01 seconds

[dusk vessel]

in the same russian modpack you can equip 10+ artis

[blissful ivy]

yep

[dusk vessel]

so pick your poison

[blissful ivy]

but it still doesnt help

[fossil parcel]

its certainly much harder progression wise

[blissful ivy]

because it lets you take 4 9x18 instead of 2

big whoop

they suck

[dusk vessel]

starting a russian modpack on master

[blissful ivy]

"Hardcore" guys

[dusk vessel]

i got through decently

but i can see how it would be impossible for casuals

[blissful ivy]

i mean not all are like that, but the super hardcore ones? yeah theyre aids

[fossil parcel]

has anyone turned gamma into a soup pack yet

[blissful ivy]

and gamma is something a literal goober could figure out

[dusk vessel]

not something i would wanna play on a regular basis

[blissful ivy]

and stumble through

[dusk vessel]

im not into cbt

[blissful ivy]

even with minimal experience

gamma really isnt that hard, and it has a tutorial now, right?

[fossil parcel]

pop ups when finding objects with more complicated mechanics yeah

[blissful ivy]

so its easier than its ever been for a random person to pick up and learn

[fossil parcel]

i would argue though that compared to most modpacks gamma certainly is the most complicated mechanics wise

[blissful ivy]

even 2 years ago this was still true, it just didnt have a tutorial
