Whoracle

2 in 1

[steep ibex]

Lol the magic whore

[swift seal]

Yo I’ve recovered all the items for Skinflint’s task. Even the items for extra payment . I can’t seem to turn them in?

• 5 army medkit
• 10 5.45 HP rounds
• 2 Cocaine
• 1 Terroraiser magazine
• Atmosfear magazine

[celest sparrow]

it's stacks of an item

so it's 150 5.45 HP

[swift seal]

Oh so I’m missing ammo

Ah thanks

Thought so

[blissful ivy]

All ammo is good, except like the bad ones

[swift seal]

Task completion still isn’t coming up.. do I gotta sell it to him?

[blissful ivy]

no

[celest sparrow]

You also need 10 army medkits

[swift seal]

Fuck sakes lol ok

[sick yoke]

😔 i already did all the coast quests and never got it

[swift seal]

53k goddamn

Worth

They gonna raid Rostok now or somethin?

Whats next

[sick yoke]

probably requires doing a different set of choices for the date

although i might be able to just find the arti in stashes/upgrade into it if it's t3

[celest sparrow]

I thought you can only get it if you let her go when she runs away

Well outside of the loot boxes

[blissful ivy]

@cursive wagon i actually really like these magnifier optics

theyre convenient, and i dont always have to look through a bulky scope

[swift seal]

What happens after I hand it over to skinflint?

[celest sparrow]

Nothing

[blissful ivy]

ok so when i said i wish binos had the target marking thing

i didnt know

that it was an upgrade

[cursive wagon]

What

[blissful ivy]

hes clueless

[cursive wagon]

I need a reminder of what ur talking about

[cursive wagon]

Im watching tts again im currently in the vibes

Oh those

[blissful ivy]

a little jarring

but i like them still

since they dont have anims

but it just makes them faster

[cursive wagon]

I personally just use the specter cause im simple and lazy

[blissful ivy]

i hate it

the zoom in and out animation thing is gross

also the actual reticle is so aids

not clean enough

[cursive wagon]

Actually they make the magnifiers zoomable

Yet

Oh wait its a mod or something aint it

[blissful ivy]

new base location idea

[blissful ivy]

they did

thats why i said theyre nice

[cursive wagon]

Its a mod ain't it?

[blissful ivy]

its in the base version of gamma

[cursive wagon]

Or is it part of gamba

[blissful ivy]

the newest base version ofc

[cursive wagon]

Ooohhh

[blissful ivy]

no idea if youre up to date

[cursive wagon]

Im on 9.4 thats all ik about my version ngl

Plus I would still need to level up freedom

And doing that as a loner that doesnt wanna lose duty goodwill makes me wanna kms

[blissful ivy]

kek

[cursive wagon]

Could level up clear sky but I dont wanna run all the way to the swamps but ig I could

[blissful ivy]

i play merc so i just leveled freedom and decided nato run

i have an ak-74 pmc

my favorite gun

but i dont have optics for it yet

[cursive wagon]

I got a working 7.62x39 finally but broken barrel

[blissful ivy]

and the G36K is my second favorite

and arguably better

[cursive wagon]

[blissful ivy]

since its got a GL

and 5.56 has great ammo

so does 5.45 tho

all the ammo is good except like, 9x18

[cursive wagon]

I just like 7.62x39 a weird amount and I dont have a reason as to why

But yea I guess im gonna level up clear sky tomorrow

Even if I dont feel like it

[blissful ivy]

a plentiful harvest

[cursive wagon]

Loot crates mod?

[blissful ivy]

i dont care for it, unless im using the brass ammo

[blissful ivy]

yes

i enjoy it

for my experience

[cursive wagon]

[blissful ivy]

i mean i have it more for blackroad

but i just like it

but im not playing BR

just base

[cursive wagon]

No complaints

[blissful ivy]

for a return game

i have 2 lives still too

[cursive wagon]

I only like 7.62x39 cause im usually a fmj only person

[blissful ivy]

the setup

for now

[cursive wagon]

And while 9x39 has more pen

[blissful ivy]

i need to fix the armor

[cursive wagon]

The velocity bs those guns have annoys me

So I just pretend they dont exist

[blissful ivy]

got it to 99% on the armor, good enough

[blissful ivy]

i love 9x39

the velocity doesnt even affect their efficiency

in any way

even at range

[rose musk]

yee that's the choice I made

psure you can upgrade into it tho

[cursive wagon]

I just dont care for them really the increased pen to me isnt enough to deal with them

[rose musk]

was messing around with upgrades and think I saw it in one of my reloads

[cursive wagon]

Let me get a load out pic rq

[blissful ivy]

its absurdly good XD

literally 2 shots on all enemies but exos

with AP

its 3-4 with fmj

[celest sparrow]

it's a unique afaik

[cursive wagon]

Dont use ap literally ever

[blissful ivy]

you should

game changer

[cursive wagon]

Prob should use it more but nah

[blissful ivy]

every time

also really fun

[cursive wagon]

Just too expensive to me tbh

10k for 30 rounds or some shit is wild

[blissful ivy]

get a load of this clown

he pays

for ammo

if its not rifle AP, dont buy it

[cursive wagon]

I dont buy it

But 10k for AP bad

When I can just spam cheap ass fmj

[blissful ivy]

then why is price an issue if youre making it

[blissful ivy]

costs less for ap

overall

use less, spend less

make 30 AP and you get further than with 90 FMJ

[cursive wagon]

I mean 210 rounds for 23k

gotta love butcher

[blissful ivy]

yeah, and i could do more with 90 AP rounds

like i said

also money is a joke in gamma

[cursive wagon]

just click heads and unless it has an exo they die anyway

[sick yoke]

i wouldn't know because i was lawful

[blissful ivy]

i am always above 150k

[blissful ivy]

thats just a lie

not much dies in 1 fmj headshot besides unarmored heads/gas masks

or seva helmets

[cursive wagon]

my gun hoarding ass

[blissful ivy]

any real helmet will eat 1-2

[blissful ivy]

some of these icons are blegh

but yeah i do that too

[blissful ivy]

that name is so stupid

mine is Stlaker

[cursive wagon]

I forgot what I named mine until u pointed it out

lol

[celest sparrow]

I think it's an option regardless of Karma

[sick yoke]

yeah the option to let her go is always there

i just didn't because i was lawful

might actually have been hero at that point but don't remember

[cursive wagon]

kinda wanna repair the tactician and use it, I weirdly really wanna use 5.45 rn

[sick yoke]

i was basically spamming any lawful/hero dialogue up until the one guy wants you to get the server from the cruelty squad in army warehouses lol

[cursive wagon]

even tho the scopes on it would be dogshit

[sick yoke]

chip saying he's going to be useless? yoink lawful dialogue

random guys telling me to kill kowalski? nope, lawful dialogue

[cursive wagon]

oh yea I found a green barrle SA-58 so now I can just click heads via trading with yantar man

meh

[blissful ivy]

peak white stash find

thats 8 dead people

regardless of helmet

probably gonna save that for exos or nosorogs

when im hunting them later

[cursive wagon]

.308 always feels like the endgame for rifles in this game

gets kinda boring

wonder if I could get lucky with a green barrel 7.62x39 AK before doing BS

eh prob would just get it from one the monolithians during the raid

[cursive wagon]

how easy would it be to make a gif slandering .45

Idk what video would fit it

[blissful ivy]

idk

very easy to make a gif

i made the flavah gif myself

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1058232340918317079/1441633906733617335/SPOART.gif

the gif in question

flavah

[cursive wagon]

I want a gif I can use to slander .45

.45 gets too overused more everyday

[blissful ivy]

i use 5.56 for my mutants

so eh

[valid crater]

Back in the '90s GIF was "Girls in Files". 🤡

[cursive wagon]

I never use rifle hp I always just kept a lightweight shotgun in the bag to blast shit with

Prob should use them more

Especially since im literally using 5.56 rn anyway

[dusk vessel]

rifle hp are some of the best mutant killers

better than 45 and shotguns imo

only thing about shotguns is cheaper ammo

[blissful ivy]

you should

just like AP

[sick yoke]

@celest sparrow @rose musk how new build look btw 👍

[blissful ivy]

i mean i think rifle HP is better for the reason its faster

just change ammo types

and if its not faster

[sick yoke]

also i cannot imagine how dogshit it would feel to play without damage increase artis

[blissful ivy]

its just convenient

need to carry less ammo types

just 3

[rose musk]

not a fan of super low regen but that bullet resist is wild

[blissful ivy]

AP, FMJ, HP, and long range rifle ammo

[sick yoke]

i need to switch the suit back to heavy coat but yeah

[rose musk]

and very true even 50% feels super needed

[sick yoke]

oh i have enough mythril to upgrade 1 more arti to wonder

[cursive wagon]

Counterpoint benelli

[sick yoke]

i guess i should get the upgraded choker then so i can take off a br arti

wrong item lmao

meant jumper cables

the durability loss is a bit shitty but hey if i simply kill everyone before they can shoot me it works out 👍

[blissful ivy]

it would seem i have to do everything in this shithole

smh

[blissful ivy]

shut up

[celest sparrow]

It sucks I'm gonna have to rely on them if I ever do my T1 / T2 weapons only run

[cursive wagon]

No

[blissful ivy]

my collection

yes thats an M98B

this isnt all, some of the weapons arent on display because theyre either not fixed, or not very rare

the SKS molot is one of those

i missed it

[quasi python]

i wish they had different gun racks

like wall style so it displays them sideway

[blissful ivy]

i wish the one we have displayed them properly

[rose musk]

just carry several hats that repair your weapon on kill

[sick yoke]

i wish i had any of those lol

[rose musk]

I have 5 atm god they are being abused

[sick yoke]

but i've got guns that give condition on kill anyway so that's not much of an issue currently

scoped scar with 4% condition on kill carried me through the entirety of radar and was at 100% lol

anyway just mixed a ton of drink buffs

[cursive wagon]

EBR has to have like a 25% to spawn on mercs or something cause holy fuck

[blissful ivy]

not on mercs

i got mine on someone else

loner i think

[cursive wagon]

Ive found 4 of them already

Just been ignoring them

[rose musk]

true I have been neglecting my rifle that gives 5% dura per kill, can't carry any other rifles if I use it and the ammo do be expensive

hard abusing the deagle

with enough dmg why bother with other weps

I do whip the rifle out for boss kills tho with 100% crit during the hat on-use it shreds

[blissful ivy]

[sick yoke]

954 damage on crit with a t3 gun 👍

i'd literally 3 tap a boss lol

[blissful ivy]

oh MOTHER FUCKER

I DIDNT KNOW HE WAS DEAD

when did i kill him

what?

HUH

what do i even do??

@cursive wagon

[cursive wagon]

Uh

!gatekeeper

[dawn marten]

@cursive wagon
If Gatekeeper is dead and you can't complete "Call of the North": #╭📖faq message
If it didn't work, try this one instead: #╟🔰☢newbies-chat message

[blissful ivy]

guess im fucked

[cursive wagon]

Im so good at guessing commands

[blissful ivy]

yeah so no invictus this time, guess i will just turn off invic protect and quickly debug that retarded guy back in

i guess he shot at me and i just killed him

wait a minute

[cursive wagon]

Another reason I dont invictus

Too much shit can go wrong

[blissful ivy]

WHAT THE FUCK????

HES STILL THERE

BUT I HAVE HIS PDA

HUH

[radiant sage]

[blissful ivy]

know what? who cares

just x ray magic i suppose

gotta love this shitstain of slavic ingenuity

[cursive wagon]

Dont forget u can also blame the French since its gamba

[blissful ivy]

fr*nch

fixed it

anyways, yeah i could

but i dont care

this is funny as shit to me

[cursive wagon]

Gamba's just trying to bait you into cheating

[blissful ivy]

indeed

wait did they change gatekeeper?

because he used to shoot at the player

if he was mercenary

at least until the quest to see him

but now hes neutral

just wondering

[cursive wagon]

Ur asking the loner only player

[tough prawn]

I always thought he was neutral

Never shot me as merc

[blissful ivy]

he used to decide to shoot my head off sometimes

so idk

[tribal steeple]

Welp I finally beat SoC, but got the bad ending it seems

[tough prawn]

Would be fun if him being dead meant monos just flooding in

Prob whats gonna happen on my mil run

[blissful ivy]

yippee

[blissful ivy]

actually it does affect the mono count in AW

it becomes more common

sometimes the monolith soldiers kill the freedomers stationed at barrier without gatekeepers help

so sometimes a few more slip through

[cursive wagon]

How many pdas did u hold onto damn

[blissful ivy]

i kill many, many people

spent the first 2 days with a single shot rifle btw

and a handgun

this always happens

[cursive wagon]

I should check how many I have killed

[blissful ivy]

mutant kills are always like a 5th of the stalkers killed

[cursive wagon]

But im not turning my shit on again just to check

I always crank stalker pop to 0.85 so If I had similar mutant kills I think I would just have mystic powers

[blissful ivy]

2 bitch ass pissbaby loners just interrupted my vibe in truck cem

like fuck off

im listening to seether you dumb bastards

im chillin

[cursive wagon]

Real

[blissful ivy]

im enjoying truth

oh wait no its world falls away

but still

[cursive wagon]

Me watching 40k lore videos when im suddenly attacked by a chimera

[blissful ivy]

you mean listening to?

or wait

second monitor

forgor

[blissful ivy]

look at this good little adept, hes trying to get on my level of 40k lore knowledge

[swift seal]

Bro I’ve just hit 150 stashes found and still haven’t found a goddamn expert toolkit

[hollow wadi]

I mean, it counts white stashes so

[swift seal]

Yeah but at least 30 of those were gold

[blissful ivy]

i love looting white stashes, i want my lootboxes

[swift seal]

Does Ashot pay the most for jewelry boxes btw? Skinflint doesn’t offer much

[sick yoke]

got the lucky hat 👍

[swift seal]

Lucky hat?

Btw what should go in my ‘vision’ slot, next to head and head gear

[rose musk]

infinite durability gaming

[cursive wagon]

Tf is an adept

[rose musk]

until the hat breaks ofc

[sick yoke]

i'm only going to use it when i start running t5 guns so it works out

also i'm going to be using the g3 so

[blissful ivy]

that better be a joke

[cursive wagon]

I'll let you find out

[sick yoke]

there we go

i'm not too sure but the durability increase should also affect arti durability?

cause i noticed i was basically taking almost like 1% durability per hit with the worse durability

[rose musk]

I think you're right

with 80% dodge and 1 20% dura arti my shit takes way less dmg over time

[blissful ivy]

https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Adepts

just to be sure

[cursive wagon]

[sick yoke]

and officially in t5

[last mesa]

there is a reason im not going west when it goes down

NCR or Legion?

[last mesa]

who do you think would win? California or the rest of the world

i mean

california vs. earth

maybe even mars too

i think it would be a quick fight

[tough prawn]

is this guy a schizo?

[blissful ivy]

mhm

[steep elm]

[radiant sage]

Adeptus schizophrenicus

[unkempt glen]

UUUUUHM

just got this out of a stash

as is

what the fuck?

[steep elm]

luckymon

[blissful ivy]

Adeptus Schizophrenia

[unkempt glen]

AND THEN I FUCKING CRASH

as soon as I hit the details section

[acoustic cliff]

i see a 40k discussion and its already hard

[blissful ivy]

you showed up and things got worse

[acoustic cliff]

well thats not very nice 🙁

[hollow wadi]

Fairly certain this isn't supposed to exist in GAMMA

Hence, the crash upon looking at details
It can't find any

[unkempt glen]

it worked after I went to the stash a second time

[dusk vessel]

ive def found that gun before

[unkempt glen]

the APS

[dusk vessel]

its supposed to be removed i think

[unkempt glen]

hell, I'm pretty sure some groups can start out with it

[dusk vessel]

but im fairly certain ive seen multiple in 0.9.4

[unkempt glen]

That's what I'm playing on

[dusk vessel]

but never bothered doing anything with them

[graceful quiver]

Why APS Stetchkin when OTs-33

[harsh sandal]

Me when my game only has 549 mods after reinstallation

[unkempt glen]

I mean yeah

and then there's the hornet

objectively the best smg for using with a detector

[graceful quiver]

[tough prawn]

cant imagine what is all there

[marsh bridge]

20 seperate addons that does the function of one addon (cough cough RE:mutants cough cough)

[topaz ocean]

What’s wrong with an APS Stechkin?

[fallen atlas]

The fact its fully functional out of the box lmao

[blissful ivy]

sir thats a handgun

[fallen atlas]

That has a full auto switch

[harsh sandal]

Yay it's 554 now

I guess it was because I didnt have enough space

Had to uninstall a gooonerr game for it tho

[mental furnace]

[harsh sandal]

[harsh sandal]

[mental furnace]

[harsh sandal]

Me back to do more silly invictus

[mental furnace]

[mental furnace]

maybe me too after i finish long war
which is not gonna happen soon

[hushed pier]

OMG COMBAT IS SO FUN WHEN THE GAME IS LIKE THIS

[near estuary]

just set the weather to be always sunny

[harsh sandal]

Classic

[hushed pier]

Have to be in debug mode right

oflin had mod where he reduced fog

might have to cop it

[cedar bramble]

Npcs still seeing through fog?

[hushed pier]

yes that's why its fun

[cedar bramble]

That "feature" is still from misery. I thought that using openxray/anomaly rewrite will fix that but no.

[dusky dagger]

looking for a GUI mod thats make the GUI like stalker 1 inventory ,,,, i play with that mod 2 years ago stalker gamma but cand find him ... pls shelp !

[hushed pier]

what is misery

[rigid stream]

[rigid stream]

Stalker MISERY, the founding father mod that built up over the years all the way to Anomaly/Gamma today.

[hushed pier]

that's kinda aura loweinuely

[rigid stream]

all the stuff and mechanics in Anomaly are came from Misery (with a more lesser tedium tweaks)

[hushed pier]

sry for that genz slop

[sick yoke]

@celest sparrow what the?

[celest sparrow]

Does what you expect

There's even an achievement for it

[bleak glade]

🥹

[mental furnace]

what those do i didnt got them on my playthrough

[sick yoke]

i haven't equipped it i don't know what it does lol

[mental furnace]

u literally have them on your belt

[sick yoke]

first is just a mythical arti that gives 200% regen, 20% stamina and 10 br

i mean the guppy collar

[mental furnace]

[sick yoke]

second is the wonder version of the jumper cables so more crit rate, negative durability and anomaly res

third is metaearrings which you get from a sidequest from ratmaid

4th is wonder version of ssd so 50 carry weight

[celest sparrow]

It's safe to delete all the unused and disabled mod to save some space right?

[celest sparrow]

yeah

[harsh sandal]

[mental furnace]

what funny challenge u gonna do this time?

[harsh sandal]

Hopefully it will give me enough space for goooneerrr game

[harsh sandal]

I have to finish the damn double barrel invictus first

[mental furnace]

[mental furnace]

what about jacket/protoexo federal/7.62x39 only

[celest sparrow]

what about zero investment only

[harsh sandal]

[harsh sandal]

Next one

[mental furnace]

[harsh sandal]

Anyway Im just gonna use phantom star for BS this time

Wait saboteur is C tier now right?

[near estuary]

huh

[celest sparrow]

still D

[near estuary]

would honestly make sense tho

or what is deer hunter?

[harsh sandal]

Zamn I remember seeing something about bringing it down to C

Probably

Is it C?

[celest sparrow]

D-eez Nuts

[near estuary]

kek

[harsh sandal]

[near estuary]

I honestly find .338 federal kinda useless

maybe I'm not using it right or something

but it feels like a much less convenient UBGL that is three times heavier

and also takes up a slot

[harsh sandal]

Yes but

[harsh sandal]

I need it for this run

[near estuary]

oh

[harsh sandal]

Is it C atm?

Deer hunter I mean

[celest sparrow]

still D

[near estuary]

it's D

[harsh sandal]

[near estuary]

which is honestly kinda ridiculous imo

[celest sparrow]

you can probably find one in a stash above Rostok

[harsh sandal]

Fak, I guess I'm going to AKM everything again

[mental furnace]

[harsh sandal]

flashback to my death vs giants with just akm

[mental furnace]

meanwhile me gonna drop it day one with green barrel and 0 protoexos again till jupiter

[wheat ermine]

Is this somehow related to disabling BS? Or is it just non functioning message?

[valid crater]

It is about what is says there, after disabling MM and BS.

[wheat ermine]

Intresting.. never seen that. Question is, are they for real wont shoot to mercs now? xD

[frank oxide]

Storyline purposes yea, from now on you have to enter loner bases and interact with them

[wheat ermine]

Not like im intresting in peace..

But xdd

[valid crater]

It's only if you play as Merc.

And it takes away like half of your prey. 🤡

[harsh sandal]

I mean you could still shoot them if you like

[wheat ermine]

Ofc i fucking will duuh

[rigid stream]

oh no, stormy weather im getting -10fps
restarting run

[frank oxide]

!removefog / oof.. its so out of date now

[dawn marten]

@hushed pier To reduce the fog effect in certain weather conditions:

Method 1: Reinstall Atmospherics without the heavy fog option.

1. Find the mod 290- Atmospherics Shaders Weathers and Reshade Latest - Hippobot. Right click and choose "Reinstall"
2. Pick the following options:

• 00 - [REQUIRED] Sky Textures
• 01 - [REQUIRED] Atmospherics
• 09 - OPTIONAL Extra Weather Cycle
• 12 - OPTIONAL Improved Skybox fog blending

3. Click "OK", and choose "Replace" when prompted
   Method 2: Use the "Less Dense Fog" addon #1355286570952950032 message

[graceful quiver]

lol it got treated like you fell from a moderate height

[severe wren]

So uh, since when can a random ass merc just walk into army warehouses from rostok and give me a an MP5 frasier for free???? i didn't even know that gun can spawn, i thought you had to buy it from that dude in zaton?

Is this normal? I don't feel like it should be normal, i'm not giving it back though, you can't have it!

now my own mp5 is rotting in my stash, never destined to evolve into a frasier, how sad

[tough prawn]

4th basic tools in a row

just not in the cards for me

trillion billion guns and armor just rotting

[covert nova]

Craft enough stuff and you can make your advanced tools with those 4 (or get one more and you're set)

enemy stalkers spawn 5m behind me can somone say me ? it give a fix for that shit ?

[mental furnace]

nah it can drop

[tough prawn]

Military quests

[solemn adder]

Does deactivating MM and BS as other faction than mercs still activates the neutral status between loners and mercs?

[near estuary]

nope

[solemn adder]

Also for people who did, u prefer to join freedom or mercs as a bandit to do the main quest?

[mental furnace]

mercs basically a freedom faction after u turn off bs

[near estuary]

I prefer to just start as the faction I want to play the storyline as

no point in complicating shit

[solemn adder]

yeah im just trying bc bandit early is fun but i wanna do the quest so

[near estuary]

just give me the chip

[solemn adder]

[quasi grove]

Hmm guys any good melee slot guns for killing stalker you'd suggest was using MP7 but I feel as if I was shooting nerf darts (I headshoted a bandit with no helmet and didn't kill him from 3 m)

[near estuary]

MP7, P90 and SR2M are the only really dedicated anti-stalker guns that aren't pistols in the melee slot and they're very comparable to each other

also, that bandit might have been wearing a helmet, actual equipment and world models don't always match

also also, don't expect one-tap headshot everything in GAMMA, that's not really how the current ballistics system works

[quasi grove]

well even then i don't think he was wearing anything with BR above 40

[quasi grove]

don't expect that, but an unarmored(or at least not armored enough) headshot to a human?

[near estuary]

it's just how GAMMA works

also, it might not have been an actual headshot but a neckshot

also well damn P90 ain't an option and it still shoots nerf darts so no bueno

I was 3 meters behind him aiming dead center into the back of his head if that wasn't a headshot IDK what is

[near estuary]

you're not using the SpecterDR scope, are you?

cuz that one is bugged

and doesn't work properly on some of its zoom levels

[quasi grove]

at the time i was using iron sights

[near estuary]

then he was either wearing a helmet or the damage might not have been enough

cuz 5,7x28 doesn't exactly equate to a .50 cal

[latent obsidian]

Should I download the game with the v8.3 launcher or with the one that is mentioned in the how to install

[quasi grove]

I'm well aware of that, that's why I'm looking for something better

[near estuary]

do exactly what the #🖥️how-to-install page says

[latent obsidian]

And after download the 8.3?

[near estuary]

well, you're gonna be disappointed cuz that's as good as it gets in the melee slot

Also, were you using the "ap" version of 5.7?

[near estuary]

important question ngl

I swear

[glossy drift]

I mean I don't recall having that problem with 9x21 or AP 5.7 so I guess it should be asked

Especially against -10% ap resist bandits

[quasi grove]

of course

I don't even carry the pleb fmj variant with me

[valid loom]

Been getting a lot more green barrel guns recently..

[agile epoch]

bro the syringe economy is insane

[near estuary]

yeah, something fucked up in the files and green barrels are dime a dozen now

[quasi grove]

what's better -10% recoil or +20% accuracy?

[agile epoch]

Depends on what it is

Automatic rifle or smg? Recoil.

Sniper rifle or other semi-auto? Accuracy.

[quasi grove]

SMG SR-2M veresk

[agile epoch]

Also don't sleep on shotgun accuracy. Tighter spread at longer distances is a game changer when the fleshes are running or theres a little distance between you and a cat.

[agile epoch]

That's the Rusky PDW in 9mm right? It's recoil is already pretty manageable but as well it's not one of those guns you're going to use past 100m so accuracy is almost irrelevant. I'd choose recoil.

[quasi grove]

OH i'm aware KSG-23 is a monster when you upgrade accuracy on it

[dusk vessel]

yeah

still no idea why medics dont sell syringes

what i do nowdays is buying medkits

and dont sell syringe meds on quests

fetch quests

[agile epoch]

I mean they technically do. They just have stuff in them. Any time I see diclofenac or glucose I snap them up.

[dusk vessel]

nah ngl

what i do is buying medkit and metamizole

then craft army stimpack

since crafting medkit into army medkit costs basically nothing and military stimpak just needs a metamizole

assuming you loot a lot of enemies, they drop a lot of bandages

and disassembling field cooking kits for plastic film

i do this even in the early game when i get myself a medical toolkit from agroprom

[agile epoch]

Army stimpak is definitely the most economical for quick health. I save a few army medkits back for some scientific medkits though. I love having a few of those in my inventory in case I get clumsy in an anomaly field.

[harsh sandal]

Me having a ton of money but still use the basic medkit

[dusk vessel]

i have the rebirth for those moments

its a military stimpak with some ibuprofen and some cocaine i think

im not sure on the cocaine part ngl

could be sleeping pills or something

[harsh sandal]

I miss survival kit

🥀

[glossy drift]

stimpacks > medkits

[rigid stream]

i'd wish it have some of its own FDDA animation instead of removing them entirely.

[rigid stream]

its vastly depends on the situation.

[dusk vessel]

stimpacks have a way shorter animation

medpack animation takes too long for me

[rigid stream]

while yes, stimpacks are good if you want emergency health mid-combat

[glossy drift]

and they heal faster

they also weigh a lot less

[rigid stream]

and medkits are okay after a fight or you do the "medkit buffering tech"

[dusk vessel]

if im out in the field and not in combat its more economical to just use a medkit

[glossy drift]

only upsides

[dusk vessel]

or passive healing

stimpacks are for combat

[harsh sandal]

Frfr

[mental furnace]

meanwhile me still getting them

[harsh sandal]

[glossy drift]

fair, tho i'd use something with health regen on, or i'd keep a signet to heal at campfires

[dusk vessel]

but then again sometimes i just dont care about being optimal and just use a stimpack anyway

[rigid stream]

medkits also good to counter-damage the AOE caused by chemical/thermal anomaly fields. for long period.

[dusk vessel]

because ive got 17 of them

and i dont even have expert tools

[rigid stream]

which is effectly pretty decent for artefact hunting early

despise having plenty of stims, im still have army medkits just for the buffer.

[dusk vessel]

cant forget the adrenalin

ill see what i have in my current day 6 run

[dusk vessel]

that stuff is kinda essential for me

if i dont have it i cant really sprint because of my 7 belt slots

13 adrenalin lmao

and before you judge its my first time playing unisg

[glossy drift]

no judgement, just missing the purified food

[rose musk]

I think the only time I usually use purified food in an actual run is the big quest fights

[dusk vessel]

adrenalin is my food

and glucose

[rose musk]

BS, CNPP, and then most of mortal sin and OA

[dusk vessel]

coffee for water

[rose musk]

coffee do be bis

[glossy drift]

fair when you have so many adrenaline shots

that and energy drinks

[dusk vessel]

im not home atm so i have some stuff i wouldnt normally carry

[round onyx]

Thought I could just spawn the anomaly maps into my inventory to give a bit of rp to artifact hunting (and because I never got the muscle memory of the places to go)
The one map I spawn in doesn't have an anomaly map
Fuak

[harsh sandal]

You need anomaly maps?

[glossy drift]

it is rp accurate to get somewhere you can't artifact hunt and get frustrated

[dusk vessel]

i carry one with me because one is all it takes to view all the ones you have

but then never end up using it

[glossy drift]

same

[harsh sandal]

Real

Tho I've played too much to even need them

💀

Sounds wrong because I'm an artefact hater

Blame my silly challenges

[round onyx]

Dog this is peak immersion instead of just checking the goofyahh official map

[harsh sandal]

[round onyx]

I put pineapple on my pizza by playing with klondaik and the artifact condition that makes all of them 100%

[mental furnace]

play with free zone off so maps gonna be somewhat useful

[analog palm]

i dont think anomaly maps open up travel points

unlesss something changed

[rigid stream]

it does if you play with accessable zone off

its anomaly feature afterall.

[mental furnace]

[vapid cobalt]

artifacts are for the weak

pure ballistic protection and stimpacks are my savior

[normal island]

That shouldn't happen afaik

[tough prawn]

Lot of weird shit lately

[dusk vessel]

you sure?

[rose musk]

it happens pretty often

esp if my first stash is in AW

[dusk vessel]

i played mono on 0.9.3 and got advanced and expert before basic

havent tested for 0.9.4 tho

[edgy moon]

Yeah this was a stash in AW

[normal island]

I remember something about a script being added that checks if you have basics, and if not, converts the other two to it

But that could've been Grok day dreaming and not actually putting it in

[round onyx]

I remember it too

Tf is this goofy shit

mabye it was in to do but never went ahead then

Bro I’ve just already 150 stashes found and still no godamn expert tools.

[dusk vessel]

or just isnt working idk

[round onyx]

If he didn't put the script in he must've figured the new yellow stash chances were already bad enough to turn your advanced tools into basic tools in front of your eyes 😂

[normal island]

Like half of what he says he's gonna do

[swift seal]

Every gold stash I hit I get advanced toolset

[dusk vessel]

try getting prypiat stashes

50% there

zaton and jupiter suck for expert tools

[round onyx]

When in doubt just press F7

[dusk vessel]

its only 20%

[swift seal]

Oh damn didn’t know. I really need to disable brain scorcher already and go north

[dusk vessel]

bruhh

expert tools do not spawn below brain scorcher

like at all

[swift seal]

Not even low percentage?

[round onyx]

didn't know

[dusk vessel]

!tools

[dawn marten]

@dusk vessel
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.

[round onyx]

So I'm guessing your 150 stashes were whites

poor guys been farming for who knows how long in the south

[swift seal]

No at least 30 yellows. I’ve been playing a long time down south. I’m up to 500k rouble and have a ridiculous stash with dozens of OP guns, 3 exo skeletons waiting to be fixed, every gun part imaginable, 200kg of zombie parts, 60kg of artifacts 🤣

[round onyx]

[dusk vessel]

for me i either do brain scorcher on day 1/2 or wait a whole week

to be fair the quests north dont really pay more, but you get better loot from stashes

and stronger enemies which drop better stuff too

[swift seal]

Yeah I can’t wait to get north and disable it. I kept coming like 30 seconds short since I’m using mags addon and kept wasting too much time loading mags. So I decided to leave and not come back until I have like 4-5 100 round mags ready and an exo.. but after realizing I expert tools dont spawn down here them I guess I’m gonna do it without an exo

Im also waiting until I have at least 10 M203’s

[dusk vessel]

you can do brain scorcher with a pistol and leather jacket

realistically

but you also need to disable the miracle machine in yantar

both are required to go north

[swift seal]

I did that

[swift seal]

And I’m playing on hardest difficult, there is at least 30+ monolith in brain scorcher and only 10 minutes to complete it

[dusk vessel]

you can run past them if youre fast enough

their aim is lagging behind you if you do it right

[swift seal]

I’ve done it many times before just now I’m using mags add on and wasted too much time reloading

[dusk vessel]

id suggest turning mags off next time

[swift seal]

That’s fucked 🤣

[dusk vessel]

theyre a time sink and just break the balance

already fragile balance gets completely shot by mags

[swift seal]

I did that on god mode after failing like 10 times. After disabling it I felt like a cheater and loaded back

Like just ran past them

[dusk vessel]

you can turn any random ak74 into a rifle thats better than any vanilla 5.45 rifle

with mags

just by putting the 95 round drum in it

[swift seal]

I love manually reloading is all, better control of my ammo.. more sweaty when I run out of ammo mid gunfight

[rose musk]

running out with a 95 round mag

[swift seal]

I’m 500 hours into my save and still haven’t used a drum mag, they expensive and very rare to find on dead NPC’s

[dusk vessel]

me when the reload animation is just as long as opening your inventory, dragging a fresh 95 round mag onto your gun, and closing your inventory

[dusk vessel]

sometimes thats shorter than reloading

[dusk vessel]

they arent really expensive

its like 15k

more than worth it

id pay 50k and still think its good deal lmao

cannot understate how strong 95 mag capacity is..

[swift seal]

Yeah worth it forsure, skinflint charges 40k for a 100 round mag of 5.56

[rose musk]

bruh

buy that shit

[swift seal]

I’m disabling brain scorcher today fuck it

HK416 and Saiga-12 seems good?

[dusk vessel]

just bring a ton of 5.56 fmj and you will be fine

[peak axle]

from the lore perspective, is Gamma after the trilogy and before Stalker 2?

[near estuary]

yep

dunno if the timeline works or not since it's overriden by the fact GAMMA existed before 2 and takes no consideration for its lore

alternate reality is a good way to sum it up

[peak axle]

still, Stalker 2 main story feature is that ||Strelok was programmed by C-consiousnes, and Doctor was not doctor actually||

so teoretically GAmma can coexist with Stalker 2 as well I think

[vast oxide]

where do i get the higher tier recipe books for artefacts?

[sick yoke]

🤨 how’d you get this one lol

Cause that’s a free wonder arti right there

u get it from monika how u missed it?

Did you get it like

Immediately after bs?

[mental furnace]

i was going full on evil

[rose musk]

got it from monika right before the last mission

[mental furnace]

before going to pripyat ye

[rose musk]

oh so never mind then

i haven't gotten to that part yet

i'm still chasing uh

whoever that guy whose name starts with a c is

[rose musk]

carterr

you're close then

[dusky dagger]

can i change the NV colour ?

[sick yoke]

unfortunate then because the wonder upgraded ssd also gives 50 weight

[rose musk]

this one takes no dura

ever

[sick yoke]

so it's ultimately kind of useless for me lol

[rose musk]

slightly better

[sick yoke]

yeah but that's not really an issue if i simply don't take enough damage to break the arti in the first place

the only arti i've broken in my entire run is my uh

"weapons spawn at 50%+ condition"

because i had that on the entire run for obvious reasons lol

and now it doesn't matter because i'm getting hard carried by just abusing condition gained on kill guns

[fallen junco]

wtf is this?

[rose musk]

fantastic ending

what a great game

[swift seal]

Everybody gets that, especially in Yantar, its a corrupt task. They make it like that so that u can’t accept it

[leaden island]

hexadecimal i think

[near estuary]

!pdaerror

[dawn marten]

@fallen junco

Just ignore it.

Critical Error on top of certain tasks was done on purpose to prevent autofailing once accepted through the PDA Taskboard.
It can also appear on tasks that require you to go into maps you can't access yet.

HEX code is just an easter egg, something similar to the "Kill Strelok" PDA.

Am I able to disguise myself as monolith to disable brain scorcher? 😅

"Alright spring cleaning merc quest, this should be easy"

Yo I can’t seem to reload my new saw with these mags.. I’m using FWP and mags addon..

Oh I think it’s because I can’t attach them to my suit..

How to fix?

Ah my suit doesn’t allow large mags

[blissful ivy]

still easy

[dusk vessel]

Just hold the mag and drag it onto the gun

[blissful ivy]

just time consuming

[dusk vessel]

If he has ied should be quick

[blissful ivy]

not worth the risk

[dusk vessel]

Just be far enough away so they dont stomp as they walk into them

[blissful ivy]

i always have the giant stomp

even when im like 30m away

[dusk vessel]

Guess im lucky?

Works for me usuall

[blissful ivy]

so i just resort to shooting their face

[sick yoke]

Bait out the stomp then place it

[dusk vessel]

That works too

[swift seal]

Am I able to add Large magazine pouches to my suit? I’m using Mags add on

[dusk vessel]

Depends on your suit

Most cant

Some can have 1

You dont really need it though

On saw your reload aninmation is longer than just replacing the mag in your inventory

[blissful ivy]

yet another reason to hate mags

clearly

[tribal steeple]

thats why you just gotta use the whole belt instead of a mag box

be like rambo

[quasi grove]

I wish veresk tactical could get better scopes

[swift seal]

Am I ready for brain scorcher or what.. I got my companion brining a fully decked out M4A1 with M203 and 10 M203 grenades.. also thinking of upgrading my SAW before going

[dusk vessel]

i was wondering about this btw

they have 75% damage multi on the head

but take 200% crit damage

[quasi grove]

Tbh you should bring a good pump action shotgun

[dusk vessel]

torso shots on pseudogiant take 150% damage

so which is better

[quasi grove]

Just to fend off the mutants in radar

[swift seal]

Got my sniper and Veresk for that

And my companion’s M203 for giant

[quasi grove]

Thats a 7.62x51 and 9x21

VERY inefficient and wasteful

[swift seal]

I’ll just shoot them with my M885 with SAW then no?

[dusk vessel]

bring some hollowpoint 5.56

dont really need ap 5.56

[swift seal]

Yep

[dusk vessel]

good chance to encounter mutants on your way to brain scorcher

[swift seal]

Got 400 rounds of HP ready

Another 300 rounds of AP and 400 rounds of FMJ

[dusk vessel]

you... you wont need that many

brain scorcher is not as difficult as the cnpp

[quasi grove]

Your likely to meet pseudogiants (yes It can be multiple)

[dusk vessel]

the equipment you have now, is enough to wipe the whole cnpp

just for reference

[leaden island]

pseudogiants in brain scorcher are entirely optional, just run past

or m203 can do it

[swift seal]

What artifacts should I bring? And I’m going full ham this time since I’m using mags and last time I came so close to disabling the BS but kept running out of time due to loading mags

[quasi grove]

They aren't optional if they decide to chase you and you wind up with a pseudo behind and monolith in front

[round onyx]

Mags
rip

[swift seal]

That’s why I’m bringing 3 100 round mags and abundance of ammo, I need to bang out the Bs fast

[round onyx]

I don't play with mags so I might be talking out of my ass but wouldn't you benefit from bringing more mags in to manually swap empty ones out of your belt instead of reloading spent ones?

[swift seal]

Which artifacts should I melt and equip before going’s

[leaden island]

the tension of limited resources is not worth the tedium of loading and inventory managing 😩

[swift seal]

That’s all the mags I got

[round onyx]

Sounds like you gotta get more mags

[dusk vessel]

in brainscorcher??

p sure there are no longer mutants inside it

[quasi grove]

If he's using backpack animations that would be slower than reloading I'm pretty sure

[dusk vessel]

its not

even with backpack animations

[leaden island]

hence psudeogiants are not a problem

[quasi grove]

Really?

[dusk vessel]

wrenched

[quasi grove]

Tbh never used the saw

[swift seal]

I’m never used the artifact melter , I just stack artifacts and never use them..

I just bought 2 more 100 round mags from skinflint. That’s it I’m ready

[quasi grove]

It always seemed kinda bad on paper so never really touched it

[mental furnace]

repair those 2, turn spikes into jellyfish and then in empty

[mental furnace]

also repair this and turn into eye for bleed resistance

[dusk vessel]

i dont think he has belt slots for all of that

[mental furnace]

doesnt matter

[dusk vessel]

fair

id rather have turniquit than an eye

and then the empty and wrenched

[mental furnace]

also repair this and craft into sponge

[dusk vessel]

since hes got 2 slots

[mental furnace]

not my problem lol

he asked i answered

[swift seal]

How do I repair them?

Fuse = repair?

[dusk vessel]

yeah

[dusk vessel]

one option merges 2 artifacts

[mental furnace]

this

[dusk vessel]

basically combines them into one

the other option costs mutant parts and puts it to the next tier

id recomand you merge artifacts to max efficiency before upgrading

if you do it the other way you spend 3x as many mutant parts

[mental furnace]

[dusk vessel]

idk why but i never find spikes

im suprised he has like 2x less artifacts than me but 2 of them

[mental furnace]

do patch quests and sakharov quests for underground locations + eco escort on CS base in swamps

[dusk vessel]

i do patch fetch quests but the others i dont wanna use disguise so much
