-# Oh wait that's just Misery

[acoustic delta]

Ty

[dusk vessel]

but it would incentivise people to actually use good velocity rounds

[lethal steeple]

you're not ever caring about that

[blissful ivy]

since people dont even render

after that

at least not from what ive seen

and the games fog hides people around 300

[dusk vessel]

rn i can run around and use an mp5 as if it was a rifle on mid range without issues

[blissful ivy]

and the maps arent big enough to allow shots that long usually

[lyric tide]

My monolithians would laugh at me and kill me in 2 hits

[dusk vessel]

im in limansk

im doing fine

mp5sd fully upgraded tho

[lethal steeple]

yeah but the ammo design doesn't really allow for that

[dusk vessel]

just magdumping people

[lyric tide]

The most i would do is make them flinch

Maybe all of my monolithians are using artifacts?....

[lethal steeple]

yet another reason to say gbo is shit

[dusk vessel]

they do flinch when getting shot

[lethal steeple]

count them

[graceful quiver]

Even a mid tier military would stand there laughing at you

[dusk vessel]

id like to have realistic muzzle velocities, and have the correleate to damage, and projectile size

[celest sparrow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/778831530016899082/1262893456989229096/togif.gif

[dusk vessel]

but then again

there is other games for that

[lyric tide]

Which is why i smack them with 12.7x55, that usually does the trick

[dusk vessel]

something like projectile size x velocity = damage

[lethal steeple]

bullet size (really wallmark size) used to play a role on damage because it affected your damage if you didn't pen

[dusk vessel]

concussion mod

[lethal steeple]

it got removed because it was hilariously obtuse

[blissful ivy]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/752540219579957298/1323191439361970216/prigozhin-kot.gif

[lyric tide]

caliber still seems to do something, no matter where i hit someone with 12.7mm it will stagger them without fail

While they just stand there when i hit em with 5.56 AP

[dusk vessel]

i can stagger enemies with 9x19

[lethal steeple]

concussion modifiers are an additional damage reduction applied to when you don't pen a mob's armor

[dusk vessel]

because getting shot even if it doesent go through makes someone stagger

[dusk vessel]

yeah, its why .338 federal sucks against armour

[blissful ivy]

pretty sure that this guy is just a 12.7 lover, this dude would fuck the bullets if he could

[dusk vessel]

because its got like -93% damage mod on non pen

its -90% in my game

[lethal steeple]

not really

[dusk vessel]

but since you said its outdated for 094 i dont know if its accurate anymore

[lethal steeple]

it's just damage

[dusk vessel]

you can basically brute force kill someone with enough bullets

[lethal steeple]

staggers are determined by damage before scripts start doing things to the number

[dusk vessel]

no matter how weak the bullets are

[lethal steeple]

and staggers work on health loss thresholds

that recover over time

a high enough damage instance will stagger regardless of what gbo says

[dusk vessel]

i usually spray until they stagger, which they usually move their head in a specific spot

and then tap the head

[lyric tide]

Btw, the ShAk-12 gets like a +60% flatness upgrade, shouldnt that help a lot with the damage scaling?

[lethal steeple]

that's why you can stagger sin mobs

and why you can stagger eidolon

[dusk vessel]

pretty reliable way to get safe kills with weak ammo

[celest sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cats-orange-cat-orange-cats-cat-weird-gif-17010424884748616697

[lethal steeple]

sin having 80% damage reduction and eidolon having a 400 deep armor

[lyric tide]

[lethal steeple]

bro's stupid might want to ask gemini

[near estuary]

[lyric tide]

Please do alleviate my stupidity

[lethal steeple]

ask gemini about it sister

[lyric tide]

[dusk vessel]

he actually did ask gemeni

[lyric tide]

I had no choice

[dusk vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-silly-cat-silly-ahh-silly-ahh-cat-goofy-gif-15009262023119441493

[lyric tide]

Of course i know it improves trajectory, but technically that would mean higher velocity

[celest sparrow]

it doesn't

[dusk vessel]

also its lying, velocity helps on submachineguns too

[celest sparrow]

i can post the math for gbo if you want to read how it works

[lyric tide]

Please do

[lethal steeple]

holy shit it got almost everything right

it does increase bullet speed and in some cases accuracy

[lyric tide]

i'd like to see where this goes, might as well just not upgrade guns at all

[lethal steeple]

instead of the other way around

[dusk vessel]

its taking things from forums and wikis

so yeah

[lethal steeple]

hell of a lot of misinfo then lmfao

[lyric tide]

It also searches facebook shudders

[blissful ivy]

no it counts forums (reddit)

[dusk vessel]

bruh

[lethal steeple]

ask it about gamma specifically

[dusk vessel]

but yeah it picks up things said on forums and wikis and presents it as fact

[blissful ivy]

so basically it can just be blatant lies

[dusk vessel]

that people on forums can be yapping and clueless

it doesent know

[blissful ivy]

this is why ram costs 200 dollars btw

[dusk vessel]

glorified search engine

[lyric tide]

truly such a rotten way to brainwash people

[blissful ivy]

just for ai that sucks at searching shit correctly

[dusk vessel]

mine went from 100 euro to 500 euro

[blissful ivy]

jesus fuck

thats worse than MINE

mine doubled

100 -> 210

praying on ai downfall every morning

[dusk vessel]

fuck ai

[celest sparrow]

might be wrong in a few things and missing stuff idc

[blissful ivy]

its estimated to take around 2 years or something to get it anywhere remotely close to normal prices again

[dusk vessel]

usually they are retarded but even they realize this

[lyric tide]

I made a PC on galaxus that i was gonna upgrade to within a couple months, that was about 2 months ago when prices were normal

I checked again recently and it went from $3000 to $8000 @blissful ivy

[dusk vessel]

its never gonna be normal prices unless the ai bubble pops

[blissful ivy]

oh lovely

[dusk vessel]

japan 80s style

[blissful ivy]

DDR5 i assume?

[lethal steeple]

won't happen before 2030 but that's neither here nor there and i will not go on a demon tangent about it because it does affect both of my possible career paths

fuck the basilisk tho

[lyric tide]

Yeah, was gonna be about 64 Gigs of DDR5

[blissful ivy]

DDR4 is still just barely reasonable to buy some

[lyric tide]

They spiked from $200 to $1000+

[blissful ivy]

but DDR5 is just fucked

[blissful ivy]

[lethal steeple]

bullet speed upgrades should improve scaling in a singleplayer game imho

[dusk vessel]

i have 32 gigs of ddr5

[hollow wadi]

Don't tell him that "60%" is, comedically, flavor text

[lethal steeple]

only you are dealing with upgraded guns as the player

[dusk vessel]

its +60 in this case right

[lyric tide]

shit power

[dusk vessel]

flat number

[lethal steeple]

nah it's whatever

[lethal steeple]

the number you see on the upgrade's card is hand written

[celest sparrow]

it's whatever is established in the upgrade tree preset

[lyric tide]

It seems to take into account the existing % on the gun, but isnt a flat addition onto the number

[celest sparrow]

which may as well be +5

[dusk vessel]

ah so it might not even be true then

[hollow wadi]

The real numbers are
Fucking random in some upgrade file

[dusk vessel]

thats just great

[lethal steeple]

and are designed to be mostly accurate to anomaly's vanilla arsenal

[dusk vessel]

could be something for a future accurate stats mod update...

[celest sparrow]

it's short for script hit power, still funny

[lethal steeple]

on the original vanilla anomaly weapon that used that particular upgrade tree scheme it could have been close to +60% total

[dusk vessel]

to show the actual upgrade

[lyric tide]

Thanks for posting, i still feel dumb tho

[celest sparrow]

shoot until guy dies

[lethal steeple]

on anything else that's modded into the game that uses that upgrade tree scheme but doesn't share the same or similar stats to the original gun? no

[lethal steeple]

are you going to finance the thin

g

real question

[lyric tide]

me rn

[celest sparrow]

it would just be updating the descriptions of the upgrades

which Oflin is thinking about looking into it

[lethal steeple]

just tell him to steer clear of that shit

upgrades are shared among guns

it's a mess

[celest sparrow]

yeah it's a mess

[lethal steeple]

not a fault of the upgrade system as grok insists on saying

it's a fault of the modders for not wanting to learn the system

[celest sparrow]

svds uses the AK74 upgrade tree which is the reason why it has the 5.56 conversion

[lethal steeple]

just tell him to not do it

[dusk vessel]

let me guess

BRN-180 uses AUG upgrade tree

[celest sparrow]

g36

[lethal steeple]

what i was doing with the stats mod before i stopped caring was better because i was just hijacking the upgrade card display to show a number that scaled off of the base gun

[lyric tide]

G36 my beloved

[dusk vessel]

dang

shot in the dark was close tho

funny

[lyric tide]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-monolith-сталкер-монолит-моноліт-gif-2897425510303898959

[celest sparrow]

AUG A1 uses the L85 upgrade preset

it's just a mess

[dusk vessel]

ive seen [wpn_brn180]:wpn_aug iirc

in some other file

its a big bess

[celest sparrow]

i think i don't remember

[lyric tide]

Snorks ar eso cute when they see you and quickly run into a hiding spot to ambush and grape you from

[lethal steeple]

ye but it's modder imprudence

not a fault of the system

[dusk vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/true-cat-flow-gif-10399068397433480636

what are you even talking about

[lethal steeple]

like lil bro insists on preaching that the upgrade system blows and blah blah blah saying that he's going to rework it come on

[lyric tide]

I just watched a flock of about 7 snorks run toward me and then all start play hide and seek 15 meters ahead of me

[lethal steeple]

and people believe him

it's insane

bro doesn't even know how his own recoil plugin works

[dusk vessel]

nice stash

g36 my beloved

might finally switch from mp5sd to a rifle

[lyric tide]

whats up with the tool box at the bottom

I know its an upgrade part

[dusk vessel]

its something outdated or from anomaly leftover

gets converted to a upgrade kit when looting

[blissful ivy]

i like that one

[lyric tide]

damn, im guessing that shit requires its own line of code

[dusk vessel]

i dont like the kurz g36 that much

i like my full length barrel

[blissful ivy]

i like the G36K most

but the G36 was my first 5.56 this run

it was nice

[lyric tide]

G36 carry handle on everything

[dusk vessel]

tbf barrel length means fuckall in gamma

[blissful ivy]

it does mean nothing

i just like the K because optics

i like the 1-4x EOTech

the new magnifier ones

has no flip up animation, but that doesnt matter, its still nicer than the elcan

fuck the elcan

and that weird fisheye magnification switch thing

or whatever

because its a little lever

[lyric tide]

Backup irons are the goat

[blissful ivy]

its like the eye doctor doohickey where they go "1... Or 2?"

or whatever

the backups on the specter are also dick

the magnifier has the EOTech to use in cqc, so its not cancerous to use like the specter top irons

[lyric tide]

dick?

[blissful ivy]

shit

dick

whatever

[lyric tide]

mighty flamboyant choice of words

[blissful ivy]

insert swear word as bad descriptive

[lyric tide]

[blissful ivy]

its a personal flair that half the time makes no sense

[dusk vessel]

just completed no step back

didnt even run out of 9x19 fmj

[blissful ivy]

best mission

[dusk vessel]

mabye ill keep this mp5sd afterall

its so fun

[blissful ivy]

well i mean when i use smgs i just carry like 600 rounds

because theyre light

very light

[dusk vessel]

theyre going down decently fast tbh

since its a laser its hard to miss

[blissful ivy]

i like my 5.56 more though

G36K sounds good

i like the sound design

its fun

[dusk vessel]

i mean 5.56 is without a doubt stronger

im just using mp5 because i like it idk

used some 600 rounds of fmj

in total

couldve waited for them to come to the door but i just shot from this window

[lyric tide]

I like my companions with some suppressive fire

[blissful ivy]

i hate doing that

its sketchy as shit

[dusk vessel]

yeah

[blissful ivy]

they always come up in trios

[dusk vessel]

i prefer taking them out on the bridge

theyre funneled and exposed

[blissful ivy]

it also makes it easy to loot

since its all one place

not spread out

[lyric tide]

Camping the door is cheesing, i killed them all going from cover to cover and using explosives

[dusk vessel]

oh yeah talking about loot

this is the first time this playthrough i did step back

or went to limansk in general

[blissful ivy]

its not cheese, its more dangerous imo

[lyric tide]

I was shooting grenades at the trios coming over the bridge

[dusk vessel]

so, a lot of monos had gathered unrelated to no step back

[blissful ivy]

now thats more like cheese

[lyric tide]

While they were actively shooting at me

And throwing explosives at me aswell

[dusk vessel]

im not doing invictus so i dont care as much

[lyric tide]

There was a dude with a barrett in the opposite building too who would onetap me

[lethal steeple]

ai so bad not one strategy has never been considered cheese

but hey it rivals fear

[severe wren]

is there like a spreadsheet somewhere about transmuting with the bat artefact?

[blissful ivy]

true

[lethal steeple]

and fear has terminator esque ai

i know, i saw it on my tik toks

[blissful ivy]

i like ready or nots ai

[dusk vessel]

got rd939 already

[blissful ivy]

on one hand, theyre dumb as rocks

on the other they insta beam your eyes

pick your poison

[dusk vessel]

man thank fuck for alt looting

imagine if you had to do it all manually instead of just pressing alt

[blissful ivy]

i used to manually loot everything too

actually not too bad

since shift transfer

but base anomaly? jesus

[dusk vessel]

i dont want 50 broken guns

or gun parts

[blissful ivy]

having to click it all like 20 times of ammo or whatever

[dusk vessel]

cant carry em all if i wanted to

[blissful ivy]

i carry broken guns home

[sick yoke]

Never intentionally did alt loot back when I played lol

[blissful ivy]

because i have the collector mod

so i like to fix as many guns as possible

makes my tism feel warm and fuzzy

[dusk vessel]

also fuck kerosine and coal

[balmy timber]

How do you tp companions again

[dusk vessel]

this shit clogging my inventory

[blissful ivy]

coal my beloved

[sick yoke]

Always shift click for me

[blissful ivy]

i always used to use shift and hover over things

[lethal steeple]

autolooter has always been such a dogshit concept

[blissful ivy]

i still do for stashes

[lethal steeple]

let the game play itself

[blissful ivy]

my main issue with autoloot was how it treated the panzerfaust mod

[lethal steeple]

all in the name of "qol" and "removing tedium"

bro inventory management is part of the game

[blissful ivy]

since the ammo for the panzerfaust rocket was kinda like a part

so it would remove the ammo, and make it unuseable

[dusk vessel]

just pressing alt on dead enemy corpse?

[blissful ivy]

[sick yoke]

Inventory management when people favorite every item:

[lethal steeple]

yeah press alt and skip a part of the gameplay

it's like macros being normalized in mmos

[dusk vessel]

idk man when ive got 50 dead people

it does get tedious sometimes

[lethal steeple]

might aswell get an autocrafter

[dusk vessel]

not the same thing

[lethal steeple]

not exactly but the same at its core

it's holy qol

sacred tedium remover

ain't nobody wants to open the tools menu to craft ammo

shit i have to craft 50 boxes

[dusk vessel]

... i do

[lethal steeple]

it does get tedious sometimes

[dusk vessel]

some tedious things are just part of the gameplay

like traveling

or crafing or sorting chests

its part of the loop

and i guess so is manually looting corpses

[lethal steeple]

so is looting corpses and managing what to take and what to not take

[dusk vessel]

funny part is you can adjust what you want to loot when you press alt

in mcm

[lethal steeple]

i've always said that people in this discord will say anything they don't want to interact with is mindless tedium

[dusk vessel]

the proximity looting is a bit ridicilous

[lethal steeple]

and anything that is immersive and realistic is exclusively mods that make the game easier

i've yet to see proof of these not being true

[lethal steeple]

because everything else is, you guessed it, pointless tedium

[sick yoke]

We need to remove the animations again

[dusk vessel]

if you really thing about it, the entire gameplay is pointless tedium

gives me same vibe as the people who are asking for ai to come up with its own prompts

[balmy timber]

If only infinite stamina exist

[dusk vessel]

it does

its pretty easy to get

[balmy timber]

How

[sick yoke]

Gamma gameplay when you run around the zone and do kill tasks or fetch quests for eternity

[lethal steeple]

you have essentially infinite stamina all the time in gamma

[blissful ivy]

epinephrine shots

or cocaine

[sick yoke]

Why does freeplay

[dusk vessel]

if you are light enough

you got infinit stamina by default

[blissful ivy]

so never

[lyric tide]

Does anybody know what Monolith combat tactics was supposed to do?

[dusk vessel]

fat boy

[blissful ivy]

i take everything

[balmy timber]

Cri

[blissful ivy]

or i bring everything

[lethal steeple]

good inventory management easily keeps you below like 40% carry weight

but really just epipen

they cost nothing

[dusk vessel]

not carrying around 50 broken gun parts

or random toolkits

adrenalin my goat

[lethal steeple]

and by the time it runs out you've already invested in 4 more

[dusk vessel]

adrenalin>fentanyl

[balmy timber]

Where can you buy them. Do you have to get your go to doc to higher level ?

[dusk vessel]

you can craft them from cocaine and sleeping pills

or buy them once a doctor has a toolkit

[balmy timber]

Why does a protein bar give 280 milligram of adren

[lyric tide]

Im guessing thats a no?

[lethal steeple]

microgram tho nerd emoji

[balmy timber]

Ah wait mb anyways I ma just make do with Heracles ig

[dusk vessel]

what do you think about the mod that adds a keybind for disassembly

of whatever item you hover on

[lethal steeple]

it removes two clicks

same as shift hover loot

not comparable to skipping inventory management with autolooter

[dusk vessel]

so its not on the same level as autolooter

hm

i might stop using autolooter because it does add stuff to my inventory i have to spend time dropping anyway

[balmy timber]

What does that mod do and should I consider it ?

[dusk vessel]

its in your game already

[lethal steeple]

it's enabled by default

[dusk vessel]

i tend to spend a long time away from my homebase

so inventory management is important to me

[balmy timber]

O how do I use it. Is there a specific keybind for it ?

[dusk vessel]

alt

[lethal steeple]

left alt

[dusk vessel]

now ill spend 5 mins dropping stuff because i used autolooter on everything

might not even be optimal anyway

5 mins is exagurated more like 30 secs but still

[blissful ivy]

[solar chasm]

Looks like getting back into gamma was the last straw for my gpu power cable lol

Went for a nap, came back and my computer wasn't working

Pulled it apart and found the cable connectors had fried

Gonna have to replace the cable and the pins on the gpu side

[tough prawn]

What gpu

[hollow wadi]

The price of testing GAMMA

Grok comes to your house and takes a blowtorch to your PC

[solar chasm]

3070ti

[blissful ivy]

its him, mr anomaly himself

[solar chasm]

It's prolly cos the cable is a double 8 pin in series from a single 8 pin on the psu side

Rather than 2x single 8 pin cables

[tough prawn]

Interesting

[deep wing]

Same with the same card

Maybe it loosened and that caused the short?

[solar chasm]

Hmmm didn't seem loose

[deep wing]

Weird. I mean I didn't have a problem with it so far, but I have the same card and same cable.

But is there any downside to using more than 1 cables?

[solar chasm]

The ones on the graphics card defintely weren't lose and were also a little crispy

[deep wing]

Well then I am officially out of ideas. I know I helped a lot no need to thank me.

[solar chasm]

Technically the single to double in series cables aren't rated for the power consumption of a 3070ti

So yeah

[deep wing]

Damn, that's good to know.

Did you OC?

[solar chasm]

Nope

[deep wing]

Sorry for that. Hope you fix it nice and easy.

[solar chasm]

It's prolly gonna cost me a few hundred to get the graphics card power pins replaced

Which isn't great but it could definitely be worse

[deep wing]

I would say time for an upgrade, but I don't really feel anything above a 3070 is worth it.

[solar chasm]

Nah, at this point my next pc upgrade is a full rebuild and well.... i'ma put my hopes on the bubble bursting before i do that

I don't really need an upgrade anyway, none of the games i play atm would benefit that much

[deep wing]

Yeah... I was planning on gettin a new processor for a while now,
because that bottlenecks my system more than I would like it to, but I guess it can wait a few years now...

[solar chasm]

Have cpus jumped in price yet?

[deep wing]

Honestly I am good on my specs too at the moment. But you know we always want better, shinier no matter what.

[deep wing]

I honestly don't really know. Haven't looked at prices in a while.
I just assumed so.

[solar chasm]

Afaik they haven't yet

Might honestly be something to grab now

Cos they undoubtedly will at some point

[deep wing]

Yeah that would probably be smart. Unfortunately I'm doing some construction on my house and will do some more.
That's kind of a money sink, so no CPU for me now

[solar chasm]

Fair

[near estuary]

is the WARNING flavortext?

[deep wing]

Doing construction = paying someone who knows what he does

[solar chasm]

Yes

[near estuary]

kek

[severe wren]

So, if i remember right, the scientists pay the most for mutant parts?

what about skins? Is that scientists too?

[scenic trench]

dont sell parts directly at traders
hoard them for artifacts and maybe tasks (if you have enough)

[severe wren]

i've got so many my stashes are clogged with them, i'm two burer hands and a chimera heart away from a full compass, so my artifact needs are about to be settled

I want like 60 of my 90 dog hearts and livers gone

[scenic trench]

then either to scientists or to butcher (not compared who pays more)

[blissful ivy]

yes sell parts directly

scientists

because mutant parts are not needed for artifacts that much, and they pay well

[dusk vessel]

certain mutant parts you can dump sell

because you only need 1-2 of them and theyre common

but something like chimera hearts need to be preserved

[severe wren]

ALRIGHT, i left around 30 to 20 of the low tier mutant parts in my stash, just in case, stuff like boar legs and the like, lets see how much they pay me for all this no doubt rotten shit

84k rubles

not bad

Uh, hello there, professor? i don't think hes supposed to be out of his little bunker?

[novel junco]

cigar break

[severe wren]

Not that i'm complaining, easier access to his shop

[dusk vessel]

the prof in yantar is aggro on me

but ive killed everyone who was with him

and the people that respawned wont help him

so he runs around shouting for help when he sees me and nobody cares

can still talk to him and trade lmao

[severe wren]

it's the fucking monolith hit squads spawning behind their bunker, for some reason on their way to me, they REALLY want to blow up the poor eggheads, but they've got some pretty beefy bois in exos protecting them so they always get pasted

I've run to my scientist babies defense at least 3 times now and every single time, the scientist bodyguards have murdered fucking EVERYBODY before i even get there

[grave pivot]

Why arent my loner companions attacking Freedom?

Useless idiot just stood there as i get gunned down

[hollow wadi]

They don't attack their faction allies

Lol lmao

You wanna attack Freedom, you get Military or Duty companions

[grave pivot]

Damn..

[hollow wadi]

Or get "fight my foes" mod

No wonder Ecologist Companions are utter shit 😔

[blissful ivy]

is that 2 svds?

what in the hell

[odd garnet]

got my as val done up how it is in CoP, pso style scope on it

[blissful ivy]

oh yeah i didnt look closely

that makes more sense

i dont use scopes on the val

i bring a long range rifle for long range shit

[severe wren]

I'm sure they're hit squads, or at least assassins, they have to be in the basegame, no? I've had a squad of two monolith who were clearly after me, attack me right as i woke up in cordon, i've had mercenaries attack me, who were clearly pathing to my direction, and there've been solo assassins who i've killed, i even got a warning on the pda message that someone is after me

[odd garnet]

eh, it's just a 4x scope, basically what you'd have access to in the other games when it came to short range scopes

i was enjoying the an94 hyperburst, but think i'll save that for a bandit or duty run

[severe wren]

and i had a merc master, who was very clearly coming for me, that i domed in jupiter

[hexed vault]

I've never seen the zone this bright

[odd garnet]

hit squads are crap and i might turn them off, i'd enjoy them, except the leader always knows exactly where you are at all times and will attempt to shoot you through any and all cover

in the outskirts this is really bad, since most of the cover out in the open is purely visual

it's 90% of what people report as ai shooting through bushes i think

[lyric tide]

Cuz im lookin thru the mods and theres shit like bountysquads disabled and stuff

[severe wren]

Oh, i don't know whats happening then

[odd garnet]

the bounty squad stuff is disabled in my mo2 but i still get hit squads sent after me in gamma

[severe wren]

maybe i'm hallucinating or something, but monolith didn't use to attack the scientist bunker in jupiter

i'm pretty sure they're hit squads, trying to get to my goon cave in jupiter that end up running into the bunker on their way

[odd garnet]

they spawn when you load in and b-line to you through everything else, happens after a certain threshold of negative goodwill

[severe wren]

and i usually warp into the jupiter hub from rostok

thats why they seem to ALWAYS go to the bunker, because i spawn into the depot at jupiter, so they path straight towards my location

[lyric tide]

Im not that bad in terms of goodwill with anyone, but recently i spotted a PDA message where a fellow merc said he saw me hiding out in some place like i was running from someone

[severe wren]

and the bunker is just in their way, the dumb dumbs

[odd garnet]

i have my final base for this run set up in yanov and i occasionally get mono and merc hitsquads running straight into the station, only to be gunned down by everyone inside, or if they manage to catch his eye, they get the shit blown out of them by the freedom guy outside with an RPG

[lyric tide]

I need to give my dude a grenade launcher lmao

[odd garnet]

at least for me, it's impossible for companions to kill themselves or you with explosives, used a couple of companions armed with RPGs to farm 'Big Game', got attacked by chimeras on the way and one of them point blanked it with an RPG while i was standing next to them, i took like 0.1 hp damage

[lyric tide]

Yea because them murdering your entire squad would be quite anticlimactic

[odd garnet]

i had to put them away(after i was finished farming) because they were taking away any semblance of challenge lol, god forbid i ever get sent on quests with the invincible ones, just let them do all the work

they were helpful for not having to waste a gorillion rounds of 45 hydra shock on 4 psuedo giants over and over though

@pure canyon

• To enable level transition confirmation prompt, disable this mod in Mod Organizer:
  206- Areas transition without confirmation (smoother gameflow) of the 202- Optional category.
• In case if you want to toggle transition willingly, download the archive attached to the message. Install it in MO2, pressing Ctrl + M, enable it. In-game, pressing L will toggle transition ability. Do not save behind transition zones. The ability to transition will enable itself automatically after travelling.

[versed badge]

Can somebody explain me the new Armor System that grok is planning to rework? Rn its like the Armor System in Tarkov (BR 50 is basically guaranteed to pen with Ammos with > 50 AP, lesser AP values might have to reduce the armors durability first). but as much as I understood he wants the BR class to represent a % chance to block bullets? How is that going to work with Bullets of different AP ratings?

load 2156154612141 useless fucking facts that nobody asked for

[frank oxide]

New BRC will provide a direct damage reduction on non-pen shots

So 55BRC = 55% damage reduction, and then you add belt slot resistances on top of that

You can still go with the old artefact meta of reaching 90% res without BRC involvement because chances are there won’t be enough differences in the system to protect you from enemies who use AP rounds exclusively (pen shots still go by raw ballistic res)

[mental furnace]

[near estuary]

is it just me or is that ass more bouncy than before

I should go to sleep

[celest sparrow]

[near estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-stalker-game-gn-chat-gn-good-morning-gif-15916286457191491792

[clever canyon]

[versed badge]

so for example, if I have 65 BRC with the Military Exoskeleton I will have 65% damage reduction on non-pen shots, but pen-shots will be reduced be reduced by the 40% ballistic protec?

Sounds like as if Armor is basically getting a nerf by this rework and fights will be more lethal, which i am up for

[round onyx]

Go to zaton as merc
"Place is full of loners I bet I'll get a TON of quests to kill stuff"
Get just 1 (ONE) quest to kill some random asshole that gets killed halfway there by monolith

[mental furnace]

check merc camp for quests there

[sick yoke]

Practically nothing even changes with the BR change

[frank oxide]

Yea if your base ballistic res is 40% that is correct

The „big” thing with new BRC will be that the reduction stacks with artefacts, so you’ll need like 3 to get 90% reduct on non-pen shots

[frank oxide]

If you look closely yea, its a nothing burger

It makes it „better” for casuals who don’t to into artefacts and just want to use a nosorog with a pelt

[sick yoke]

It’s still capped by whatever your br% cap is anyway

[frank oxide]

Yea

[versed badge]

Didnt play Gamma for a long time now, but I dont remember any artifacts having BR Classes, i thought they give Ballistic Res and BR class is increased with the inserts

[frank oxide]

Only plates affect BRC

No artefact touches it

[sick yoke]

So even if you got 1 trillion BR it’d never give more than 65% protection without Artis

[viral marsh]

when you install and its the correct amount of mods u see on mo2

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-15440582697814261679

[versed badge]

so basically Artifacts doesnt increase BRC but increase the cap of it?

[sick yoke]

Artifacts increase the cap for br%

Which is indirectly the cap for BR

[frank oxide]

Wait..

[celest sparrow]

Grok said it will be changed to ignore Cap

[frank oxide]

Yea

[celest sparrow]

Which it's a good thing

[versed badge]

isnt that going to make armor op though?

[sick yoke]

Whether or not he actually changes it is a different question

[versed badge]

90% bullet res on any shot is kinda much

[frank oxide]

Max BRC without plates will be 62 iirc
With plate its 68

That just covers you on all small rifle + 308

[sick yoke]

You can already get 90% br% right now with the right Artis

[frank oxide]

12.7x55, 7.62x54r, Gauss and .338 Lapua will still pen your armor
Just like it does now

[sick yoke]

Yeah it does make you pretty much invincible

[versed badge]

does BRC get reduced values with lower armor durability or is it only the values of the % protection stats

[celest sparrow]

Only a few selection will be able to take full advantage

[frank oxide]

So the BRC + artefacts and ignore cap thing will rely on you not hitting those calibers because if you do it means 30-40% reduction or whatever

And well more calibers with less BRC

[celest sparrow]

And Exo / Nosorog won't have to entirely rely on Artifacts for full protection
as it should be

[sick yoke]

Also lol uncapping BR but it literally only affects nosorogs with plates and only if you don’t have Artis and only by 3%

[frank oxide]

52BR armor + plate would already be more than enough
As long as all small rifle rounds are covered
Then top it up with like basic 10% res artefacts

Which tbh would still give you like 50-60% res on pen shots and 90 on non-pen

[celest sparrow]

It's really only covering the most common calibers while still leaving you vulnerable to high end calibers which high ranking stalkers frequently use

[frank oxide]

So basically 50BR radsuit and higher are „good”

Anything above 45BR would be „acceptable” and anything underneath that just needs to artefact maxx

Or decide on artefact maxxing despite the change

Which i’m sure most who got used to this system will do

Testing will prove how well the brc stuff works

[sick yoke]

Honestly unless BR gets a huge number increase it won’t change much from how it currently feels

[frank oxide]

BRC on armor was meant to be buffed

To some crazy extents initially

Nosorog was like 70BRC or something

Or 75

[sick yoke]

Cause if you have an exosuit with plate that’s like, 58 BR

In current that’d put you at cap for nonpen hits

After armor change you’d get 58% br% equivalent on nonpen

Which isn’t enough to break cap anyway

[frank oxide]

Artefact BR% is added ontop of BRC

I’m not sure how that will work with the cap

Well it might ignore it together

So basically non-pen + basic effort into artefacts and plate = 90% reduct

[celest sparrow]

I imagine BRC will just be applied on top of BR% so it it ignores cap

[frank oxide]

Its not hard to get 3 artefacts and a plate for 32 BR%

[sick yoke]

That’s the only scenario where high BR would make a difference yeah but if Artis still face cap then it just ends up being a nothing change

[celest sparrow]

Well yeah, which is the amount of Belt slots Skat / Exosuits will have so it's not crazy

[frank oxide]

Meanwhile vyraj exo with 7 slots

[celest sparrow]

This really only benefits the Exosuit / Skat / Exo / Nosorog for the End Game

Light / Medium Armor will have a noticeable nerf

[frank oxide]

Like i said 45+ BRC

[sick yoke]

TLDR is he removing cap on nonpen completely or is he just making specifically BR ignore cap

[frank oxide]

And with like 3-4 belt slots

[celest sparrow]

Specifically the BRC bonus given

[mental furnace]

holy shit

[sick yoke]

It’s fucked then

[celest sparrow]

It's just going to ignore the cap if it's nonpen

[frank oxide]

Remind me why

Ohh right

[celest sparrow]

Due to the BRC math change

[frank oxide]

BRC + belt slot
And dismissal of suit Br%

[celest sparrow]

Less protection overall from nonpen

[frank oxide]

Right

[sick yoke]

Yeah I mean like, if you have 68 BR nosorog + plate and 20% br% from artis, do you get the full 88% from nonpen or only 68% because the arti br% gets capped out

[celest sparrow]

88%

[sick yoke]

Ok then it’s good

[frank oxide]

Well

In a way it rewards the end game more?

[celest sparrow]

It definitely makes the Early - Mid game harder

[frank oxide]

I wonder if early game suits will get a bump in BR%

[celest sparrow]

I have yet to check the google doc

And compare

[frank oxide]

imma be real - i wasn’t keeping tabs on that whole rework since the start

[celest sparrow]

But all is good if he doesn't go through with this #📎to-do message

[celest sparrow]

I haven't been up to date with most of Dev2

[sick yoke]

“You will be able to get 80% br% from BR alone” 🤨

[frank oxide]

i just updated recently and all i got was more crashes due to the mt branch

[sick yoke]

Let me guess, you can get 80 BR, but it’s specifically only possible with unisg nosorog + plate

[celest sparrow]

Pretty much

[sick yoke]

Stupid ass reasoning then

[celest sparrow]

It's what I don't understand with the fear of the Armor Rework making BRC OP when it only applies to a few Armor variants

[frank oxide]

Glanced at sheet

All nosorogs have 63 BRC

Not just isg one

[celest sparrow]

Wasn't the default 65

[sick yoke]

“You can get 80% br% with the unisg nosorog + plate, so we’re going to punish every other armor that can’t get as high by increasing north ai damage”

[celest sparrow]

I haven't used the Nosorog in such a long time

[sick yoke]

Did the faction bonus system get scrapped or something

[frank oxide]

It was like 70
He was confused if it should be left like that and i said that its too much

So he lowered it to be just above .308 AP to give you some hits before brc falls

[celest sparrow]

It's oflins fault

Get him

[frank oxide]

Get fucked

[celest sparrow]

[celest sparrow]

Yeah it's what I don't understand lol

Grok just thinks BRC will break the End Game balance when it simply won't

[sick yoke]

Nosorog + plate + 99% giant hide + morphine would temporarily give you 100% br%

[celest sparrow]

Most of the Heavy Armor catalog has pretty mediocre BRC for the North section of the playthrough which is like why bother punishing the player for a few Armor classes

[sick yoke]

Although people have been saying that morphine is bugged and only works for like half the duration or whatever for a while now so who even knows at this point

[celest sparrow]

Has that ever been proven to be right

[sick yoke]

Idk

I just see people saying that their br% stat goes back down before morphine runs out

[frank oxide]

Those defensive buffs were meant to be changed

Or were changed

But when applying the buffs you still get 180s

I’m confused what goes in because descriptions aren’t updated instantly

There was some post that morphine would give you like 10% BR and heal you more

[celest sparrow]

[frank oxide]

Maybe just tossed around in testers

Idk

Also found a to-do on locking heavy armor recipe

[celest sparrow]

Yeah I still remember that

I still don't mind the idea, would give a good reason for CSky to directly attack Rostok or overall a reason to raid the Research Institute

[frank oxide]

Well in his notes they’re locked behind sin and isg

So uhh

[celest sparrow]

I must know where does he keep getting these ideas

Slop depot?

[frank oxide]

The note said its so that there’s more to do in the north in order to grind to heavy armor first

So BS in medium armor max or luck out on AW Dead City spawns?

[celest sparrow]

Yeah because he once said Medium Armor is enough for BS so

[mental furnace]

maybe better to get it locked behind storyline? like u get recipe when u get to strelok

or as reward for finishing LL

[frank oxide]

fr

Heavy armor only after you do LL

[celest sparrow]

It would be nice if every Northern Faction wasn't always using AP

[mental furnace]

yeah like only high ranked ones used AP ammo

[frank oxide]

Hm its almost like those suggestions were made like 2 years ago

Hmmmm

[celest sparrow]

It's already the case with Factions outside of the Monolith / UNISG / Sin

You know what's funny

Mercenary will start using AP by Experienced rank

Due to the loadout changes they received as to increase the use of ARs

[celest sparrow]

they do play out differently from what I've seen

[sick yoke]

i should be able to get paladin ending with this run then go back and use arti/gun to lower karma on kill lol

[celest sparrow]

I'm still missing an ending
which I assume it has to be done with neutral karma

[sick yoke]

run through the last section and get lawful/neutral/all the negative karma endings

[celest sparrow]

there's also a food item that raises / lowers karma

yeah the cookies

haven't been hoarding them though

what's cursed bacon do btw

[dawn marten]

@versed crest
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

[molten bone]

It's not that deep

[dusk vessel]

im getting several of these bugged stashes in some locations

is a bit sad but it is what it is

just, in random place where there is no bush, and just flat grassland it says there is stash but there isnt

[grave pivot]

Is this loadout good enough for BS?

i got around 750 rounds more of 5.45 fmj, and 250 rounds more of AP

as well as 150 rounds of SVD ammo

and 500 rounds of 9x18 AP if i gotta

i got around 10 more 30 round AK mags if i have to haul more

[covert nova]

So much stuff on ya. Don't want to get sweet mono loot ? Also SVD good for the road to radar, indoors the AR will carry. Prob don't need the 9x18

[grave pivot]

i theorise that my load would get lighter after i deal with the Monolithians

plus, im mostly getting like, one armor set and a few guns

[covert nova]

Don't need PSU batteries (suit doesn't need em, right?) cooking kit, so much food, ton of meds.. Pointless to carry everything. BS is like, a day long excursion at most, unless you wamma push into Prip or RF right after to go to Jupi.

[grave pivot]

but alr, thanks for the tip

I'd honestly skip the SVD or load it with AP ammo and maybe consider taking less of something to have more space for loot
then again, cocaine exists and it's not like the monothots inside BS have much of anything anyway

[grave pivot]

theyre all valuable to me

[grave pivot]

thats fair

[dusk vessel]

you also dont need 9 boar chops

[grave pivot]

muh armor 😔

[dusk vessel]

also the 14 and 19 medkits

like bruh

[grave pivot]

my stalker is hungry

[near estuary]

the 5 cans of beans are a worse offender

[dusk vessel]

true

[near estuary]

one of the least weight efficient food items in the game

[dusk vessel]

wouldnt that be stale bread

[near estuary]

the boar chops at least give you powerups

[dusk vessel]

the least

[near estuary]

yeah one of

[uncut agate]

Tbh you're lacking mutant killing. Radar can have some brutal mutant spawns with chimeras and pseudogiants. One mag of 5.45 HP is instant death.

[near estuary]

I mean

he has that and the APS

I always encounter like idk
1 chimera on the way

[grave pivot]

i got about 100 rounds of 5.45 HP, and about 250 rounds of 9x18 HP

[leaden island]

but then you're gonna be thinkin' about those beans without having any 🙁

[grave pivot]

im poor, i cant afford any more boolets

i might as well drive an APC there

[uncut agate]

Depending on the spawns, you prolly won't have the opportunity to manually reload the mag

[leaden island]

bring a shotgun for the muties

ks23 will do nice

[uncut agate]

I've has to deal with double chimera spawns, and on the return trip as well. Many ironman runs would be over if I wasn't prepared

[grave pivot]

ah ill just ditch the food and water, and some repair kits

[uncut agate]

Nothing beats a .45 SMG pretty much

[near estuary]

yeah I'd honestly skip the SVD and APS and bring that along with the AK
KS-23 is also useful against monothots with barrikada

so it's kind of a two in one

[uncut agate]

I've always found the ks23 to either dumpster stalkers and mutants, or seemingly just shoot marshmallows

Want to try the new KSG

[leaden island]

the 12.7mm revolver has GREAT physics

[grave pivot]

Preference then, id rather fight from Afar, like REALLY far

[uncut agate]

Would def recommend a sniper for the road route

[grave pivot]

Im talking about distances of from entrance to Freedom HQ to the Campfire between the intersection and Bloodsucker village

[uncut agate]

Always take some kind of AP ammo sniper for the approach

[uncut agate]

Can't say I'm playing quite like Chris Kyle lol, but I like to have a load out in the rotation with a sniper, mutant killer, and MP7 in pistol slot once I get farther north.

[near estuary]

eh
its usefulness expires really quick with how few monolith there are on the way there
I always encounter like 6-7 at most

wait a minute

67

SIX SEVEN

[uncut agate]

I wasn't going to say anything you freak

I usually get quite a few, and it's really efficient to use a sniper, not take any damage and preserve all ammo for the lab itself.

At least, that's how's I've done it every time and have yet to lose an ironman run when doing BS. Knock on wood lol

[grave pivot]

Alr, i saved about, 6-7 kilos by ditching the repair kits, Food, and other misc items. Plu, i got a basic titanium grid and a Gravi to help me haul stuff

[sullen mesa]

for updating from anomaly 1.5.2 to 1.5.3, can i just unpack it ontop of 1.5.2 or do i need to completely purge everything and then download in the now empty folder

[dusk vessel]

safer to have a fresh install

if its for gamma

[uncut agate]

wait do we need 1.5.3 installed? I am playing on the newest gamma version, but on an old 1.5.2 anomaly install

game seems to work fine, but am i missing anything?

[dusk vessel]

most mods work for 1.5.2 or even 1.5.1 but you should use 1.5.3

[uncut agate]

is this something i could do mid run?

[desert prairie]

what exactly happens if i activate anti-aliasing and SMAA?

[dusk vessel]

mabye, but youill risk losing your save

[uncut agate]

these are handled by mods

[dusk vessel]

so finish your run first is probably the better option

[uncut agate]

fair enough. no reason to tempt fate

[dusk vessel]

unless youre one of those people that use the same save for 3 years

[uncut agate]

nah this is a fresh ironman i want to make into a video

[opaque moss]

your scopes stop working and you lose fps with no visual gain at all

[dusk vessel]

when youre ready to start a new run make a fresh anomaly isntall for 1.5.3

just more stability

[uncut agate]

whos out here using the same save for 3 years lol

although ik there are people still playing .93

can't imagine doing that lol

[desert prairie]

.... wait fr?

[acoustic delta]

How to switch off binoculars nv?

[opaque moss]

yuh

[uncut agate]

i believe its hardcoded to "m"

but i dont use that feature myself

[acoustic delta]

Ty, sir

[grave pivot]

made it lmao

cant rename myself to i should rename myself to Cate Hultists

[uncut agate]

Love to see that

I found myself a gunsmithing kit as loose loot in the buildings near the stalker camp above Agroprom Underground. Didn't even know they could spawn there.

All I remember from patch notes is a medical toolkit spawn in the underground itself, but idk if that's even guaranteed

[tidal halo]

Does the mod still run as well as it did in 0.9.1/0.9.0?

Haven't played in a while

[blissful ivy]

what mod?

gamma?

gamma runs better than it did before if thats your question

[uncut agate]

Definitely

Looks better, runs better, crashes less.

Hey anyone heard anything if like the recent windows updates are like fucking with anomalys engine

[frank oxide]

2x advanced tools craft is available before expert tools

[viral marsh]

say whatever happened to the already packed reshade inside gamma folders ? now i gotta install it normally

[celest sparrow]

GAMMA stopped using Reshade since 0.9.1 so why bother keep it

[viral marsh]

oh its just easier to drag n drop thats all , got me curious thats how i used to enable reshade for gamma

[uncut agate]

Definitely, but I like being surprised by them lol

[frank oxide]

well… a bit more happened between then and now

[celest sparrow]

yep

When you start to skin a lurker only for the camera to turn just enough for you to see a chimera galloping full tilt towards you from the corner of your eye

The Freedomers at AW gave me more trouble than the Monolith because they kept pooling out of nowhere 😭

I shoot this lone freedomer at the barrier, and suddenly

Had to run to Radar cause i keep hearing "Virigis!" And "Svaboda!" On all sides

[quasi grove]

are there any differences in stats between stock veresk and tactical version? (is the tactical version even an upgrade)

[warm verge]

i thank whichever god wanted me to stop playing gamma]

[severe wren]

is there a way to somehow mass donate stuff instead of doing it one by one? im trying to delete like 400 1% things from my stash, doing a little spring cleaning now that i no longer need to be a damn kleptomaniac anymore

and i'd rather not get carpal tunnel from clicking donate on over 400 items

[quasi grove]

pick the stuff you want to throw away up go tp a loadidng area drop all the stuff you want gone leave the map and reenter it should be gone

[severe wren]

nice, ill do just that

let the zone have its trash back

[quasi grove]

at least thats what i do thou tbh it might be just despawning after time since I'm at the point I'm rotating between jupiter, zaton and outskirts

[quartz violet]

get zone recycling bin by catspaw

it'll just delete

[valid crater]

You can use the unwanted items handler and the autolooter to get rid of stuff quickly, but most efficient: put it all in some random stalker corpse, keep only what you need and leave the area to a next map. The corspe will despawn and all the items aswell. Items you drop in the map may need 2 to 3 transitions to despawn.

[severe wren]

man, i want my eots-62 back is there someone somewhere that might sell that scope? or is it loot only?

[celest sparrow]

you can only buy it

[severe wren]

i just answered my own question, it costs fucking 300k

i remember looting one from a monolith once, but that was a long time ago
