just had to spawn right inside my hideout

nothing on the second floor

@near estuary
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

[green gyro]

it couldve marked the interactable closet door

[near estuary]

always just says "pinned map location"

so I guess it's fucked

[green gyro]

yep

well no

that might mean you missed the stash on the map with your mouse

it'd say "hidden stash" or be more specific or show a random ID

you might wanna walk away so you can actually click the stash

[solid jungle]

Sometimes stashes can spawn in placed containers. Happened to me with my workbench

And it will stay there if you move it too

[green gyro]

also true

[inner mantle]

slutsky is a pretty commin name in duty and military

but the funniest name i found was Chingachuck

[near estuary]

hmm
decisions decisions

[lethal patrol]

well fuck, i cant get it out

[outer wedge]

how cool would a stalker multiplayer be, made from the ground up with its sole focus on multiplayer where almost all of the zone is made up of players, the factions hierarchies are made up of players, maybe even traders could be players and you can be whoever you want, mutant hunter for example, you hunt mutants for parts and you sell them to a cook who makes food out of them and sells them to players or a weapon smuggler who smuggles weapons from outside and you have to go a bit out of the zone to take those weapons and then you can sell them to other players (for this job you could need for in game days to pass so your character gains experience). Wars could happen, factions taking over other factions controlled zones. Now i dont know how this could actually be made balanced and all of that but its a cool idea, maybe like arma reforger where you have servers but the servers could be 150 players big, since i would imagine it would be bigger than the map in stalker 2

sorry for yap i got this idea and idk who to share it with

[pliant kestrel]

whats this mod?

[inner mantle]

i think the game would become like rust but not in the good way.

i dont know but it would need to be balanced

somehow

[near estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/fsb-military-gif-24474424

I am a sucker for it, ngl

[atomic pebble]

meh

[dusk vessel]

if youve known this community, it would be a pure shitshow

pretty sure og stalker games have multiplayer anyway

[atomic pebble]

is better talk about what's possible:

[severe wren]

for fucks sake, sidorovich gave me a task to kill a fellow stalker

pda glitch?

[twin timber]

Oh hell yeah

[twin timber]

No, sidorovich is just a rat bastard

Thought he was above sending you to murder people from your own "faction"? think again

Anyway, woo, new update coming, will have to reinstall gamma soon

[twin timber]

I think what you want to play is arma 3 modded or dayz

[inner mantle]

the game itself would be just like dayz or unturned. The moment you get a functioning gun, it's no longer pvpve, just pvp.

[twin timber]

So, as soon as the game starts?

It's stalker

[inner mantle]

yes

[twin timber]

Possibly the only way to balance this

Is making pvp enabled zones only up north

Where you'll never know who's a disguised monolith or PMC wanting your shit

So anyone can shoot at anyone

[grave pivot]

Yeah uh, no. I rather have a coop.

Just do what Cynna recommended, Arms and stuff

[twin timber]

The reputation system in unturned was pretty good

So you could tell who's a fucker who shoots other humans first

[grave pivot]

Or go play Tarkov

[twin timber]

And who leaves people in peace and shoot humans in self-defense

[grave pivot]

I rather not lose all my shit cause some Freedomer with an SVD saw me wandering out and about

[twin timber]

Heh heh that kinda happens in gamma already

[grave pivot]

Or have my stash robbed

[twin timber]

Just play on ironman

[grave pivot]

That is fair, but i dont want to happen so commonly that it would get annoying

[grave pivot]

I predict that not a lot of players are gonna last more than a few days without dying

[twin timber]

Such is life in the zone

[grave pivot]

Indeed

[solar chasm]

Prolly crap cos people online act like utterly awful dirty rat bastards as compared to how most people act irl

[grave pivot]

Agreed

Drama is more fun if theres no cost

Your not gonna get your chill round the campfire vibes

You're getting rust 😭

[tepid spear]

im js wondering how does this new BR update work in more simpler terms cuz i dont get it

[muted spruce]

It is peak

[dusk vessel]

because there isnt consiquences

if you act like a rat bastard irl everyone will hate you and your life will suck, online there is nothing bad happening to you if you do it

[solar chasm]

Brc is whether your armor stops the round. If it does it applies brc mitigation before your br% is applied.

Brc mitigation is at base 35%, gets raised by plate attatchments up to 50%

If the bullet pens, then it's just your br% protecting you

That's the current system being tested in dev2

[near estuary]

add to that the fact the a lot of people play videogames to satisfy their need of power and agency that they lack irl and... yeah it would be a nightmare from the start

[grave pivot]

No one is gonna be safe even at Rookie village 😭

Spawnkilling rookies and stuff

Pripyat or CNPP is prob gonna be barely explored cause everyone is gonna be killing each other in the south

[near estuary]

each new player would start as basically a slave until they collected enough artefacts from nearby anomalies

basically 2b2t

[grave pivot]

Agreed

Most of the players are gonna be bandits

[dusk vessel]

only way it could work is if its heavily moderated

but that also brings flaws of its own

[grave pivot]

I think that Freedom and Duty would only exist if its made by staff or that there are penalties to dying idk

[sick yoke]

Isn’t this basically a nerf lol

[atomic pebble]

It's nerf or nothing...

[sick yoke]

Unless it’s a multiplicative reduction

[grave pivot]

I just think "higher number = mote protection"

[sick yoke]

In which case it’s probably still a nerf in early game

[grave pivot]

Otherwise i just dont get hit at all

[solar chasm]

From the looks of the calcs it's a buff until heavy armor

And a nerf as you go into late game dr levels

[sick yoke]

Is it a multiplicative reduction then?

[solar chasm]

Brc mit is multiplicative with br%

So it'd be damage * (1 - brc mit) * (1- dr%)

If the bullet doesn't pen

Current system the mitigation brc provides scales based on your level of brc, which makes it relatively poor in early game

[viscid warren]

I long for the future in which I can finally face against the three rodents in my unisg nosorog

(it will not happen)

[near estuary]

being a scumbag isn't limited to playing Bandits

[grave pivot]

But being a scumbag would be smth a bandit would do

[near estuary]

in fact, I'd probably be more comfortable around them than Loners

[sick yoke]

Ok then yeah it would be better early game

[near estuary]

cuz you know what to expect

[grave pivot]

So nearly everyone in the Zone would just be marauders

[shadow cave]

Is there an LTX file or something I can change to be able to sell RPGs?

[near estuary]

probably

no idea where tho

try asking in #╙🖇mods-making-discussion

[normal island]

Or a merc

Which are canonically the psychopaths of the zone

Bandits are dumb thugs, if anything

[grave pivot]

That.. kinda makes sense

[normal island]

The first introduction of the mercs in the franchise is them hunting down a group of helpless Ecos for some briefcase and they're presented almost as comically evil

Not to mention most, if not all, of their random NPC chatter voicelines presents them all as crazy roided psycho killers

[stable trout]

fr now, how do I make at least one key work for unajmming?

I have 3 keys that are supposed to unjam. R does not work, U sometimes inspect it and sometimes, just sometimes unjams. and F10 for some reason also does not work

[dusk vessel]

so, just like gamma merc mains

[near estuary]

lol wdym
gamma merc mains are soft-spoken and introverted guys who like to paint their nails

I would know

[normal island]

GAMMA mercs are stupid non canon americans

[near estuary]

fucking hate those voicelines

I disable them as quickly as BHS and YACS when on a fresh install

@spring cove they talkin' about us

[normal island]

i'm the us lil bro

[muted spruce]

There is no moral person in the zone, they are all morally bankrupt

[near estuary]

except me of course

[dusk vessel]

incredible quest

i think fate task is bugged lmao

[novel sierra]

Unbeleiveably naive thinking

"all pepole are le bad"

Most? yes

I would go so far as to say like 85 %

many are just trying to survive

Young kids who heard you can sell magical rocks for billions of $ on black market and retire.

Or who got in trouble with the law

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYaXYPi2N4E

[swift seal]

Ayo I started the Mirage task, but I’m trying to leave to craft and IED but keep getting spawned back at the area of task 😢

[muted spruce]

Idk man name one moral person in the zone

All main protags have killed people

And some not even really in self defense

I don't think that the zones inhavitants are all evil, a lot are just fighting in defense

The only factions of reasonable morality is loners and defo ecologists

You could maybe argue mono because they are actually mindless

[topaz ocean]

professor sakharov

dude just does nerd science shit

[muted spruce]

All eco are kinda chill

They are just thete to reasearch and defend themselvs

[sick yoke]

Ecos are chill until you realize they basically tell you “$14 for this rock you risked your life to get, no I won’t go higher than that”

Everyone scams you therefore there are no moral people

[glossy drift]

I'd excuse it being the higher-ups in the military calling those shots

[muted spruce]

On the scale of executing people via anomaly fields and scamming they are arguably the best in the zone

[glossy drift]

plus, they give you couple thousands if you get them rock in good condition, in a zone where most things costs pennies

so arguably they're just playing their hands right

[sick yoke]

Yeah but my point is the scale goes from “literal psychopaths” to “still immoral scientists who really don’t give a shit how they get their research materials, only that they get them”

[glossy drift]

I mean they are aware, and half of their missions are them going with you, so I believe the judgement is a bit harsh

but I get the point

[muted spruce]

Yeah everyone is not great morally

[timid hornet]

more social commentary about what easy money and the threat of Armageddon do to people. ||It's implied in the lore that the original scientists behind the wish granter were also messing with the properties of the zone to try to harness it for the benefit of humanity. ||

[twin timber]

The only people in the zone not going out of their way to fuck other people over are the freedomers... unless you're a dutyer or military trying to seize control

Sometimes there are some fuckwads among the freedomers but they are sorted out quickly by the others quietly

[dusk vessel]

no they are

[muted spruce]

No one is moral in the zone comparative to the real world

You are killing people for a can of beans

Or your own personal gain

You as the player kill people to progress

[timid hornet]

it's more that every faction involved has found a justification to be an asshole for profit, and they is a much worse common enemy (monolith/sin) so everyone stabbing everyone in the back and forming factions goes unchecked.

the only time the factions get along is if the monolith become a real problem

[twin timber]

Well the real world is also full of people killing each other for shit reasons, just look at stuff happening in the sand shitholes

[timid hornet]

or ukraine

[muted spruce]

Im not gonna discuss morality irl

[twin timber]

Nobody is morally right in the zone

[muted spruce]

But generally the people of the zone are terrible people

Your character included

[timid hornet]

morality is relative to situation, and like psychologically human society will always break down to this point under major duress, revert to tribalism and murder

[twin timber]

My character is in the zone to satisfy his radiation fetish

Not his fault a bunch of fuckers want to shoot him for his can of tushonka beef

[timid hornet]

also we're talking about lore written in terms of it being an epic or stage play

every important charater has glaring personality flaws or some kind of vendetta

for the plot

so for the sake of an interesting story everyone is a piece of shit

in any other reality someone would have offed sidorovich like proposition joe in the Wire, too fat and lazy and easy to find.

but for the plot he exists

[twin timber]

It's baffling how the fatass can do business there

Maybe he asks wolf to secure the visitor's guns so he can't be murdered

[timid hornet]

It's funny to realize that strelok is the only one with an actual sense of morality, he kind of sees all the factions as dangerious for the zone and hopes to make it peaceful or like carry out the original plans of the scientists who made the thing in the first place.

like all the story lines go well out of their way to tell you why all the factions suck

also you have to remember that the zone exists as the result of a mind control field, things have played out this way for a reason, it's implied the wish granter and we know the brain scorcher has mind control powers

[mystic flame]

the zone also just intrinsically invites those who usually dont have everyone's best interests in mind

those who travel to a dangerous place where its pretty common to have to kill others for money arent usually the most morally sound

[timid hornet]

emissions probably aren't great for the brain, even being indoors im sure, drives everyone mad, or like into a primal rage

it may also literally be mind controlling people from around the world there

considering that was it's intended purpose

[mystic flame]

I could be wrong bc I havent played the games in a while, but at some point i believe they mention that some do travel to the zone out of desperation for the riches because they need to find ways to feed their family and live normally outside the zone, so realistically I doubt everyone who tries to make it into the zone is just straight up evil, but its probably just the games and lore not thinking it was important enough to put until storytelling

but as a whole w factions yeah mostly everyone is there for questionable purposes

[onyx forum]

everyone goes to the zone for personal benifit

or they are doing their job

(UNISG and military)

but everyone is in the zone of their own volition, nobody is there on accident

[remote dome]

whats everyones thoughts on artifacts right now. Just did a run, without ever using one.....

[onyx forum]

they are goated but i almost never find the ones i want

[graceful quiver]

It does tend to be as much a grind as every other piece of equipment, and once you have built them up good, you are significantly stronger for it

[lethal steeple]

sidorovich runs the rookie village, which is canonically borderline a tourist destination

nobody wants to smoke him out because he keeps the military at bay via bribe money

the army has orders to shoot on sight on anyone not government approved entering the zone

after what happened in clear sky

sidorovich does keep at least the cordon as a safe place for tourists

well, as safe as can be inside of the zone, bandits, anomalies, and monsters are still a major threat

but you wouldn't face the firepower of the army

[outer totem]

Stalker

[dusk vessel]

on top of that he literally lives in a bunker

hes not easy to reach unless he wants you to

[lethal steeple]

ye that's also true

he protects you and is protected himself

[dusk vessel]

not to mention he has armed guards in the village

[polar lark]

has the beretta M9 been remvoed in GAMMA?

[lethal steeple]

ages ago

[polar lark]

it's years I don't play, but damn this is nonsense

[dusk vessel]

you could still spawn it via debug i guess

[polar lark]

is there a list of removed guns?

[polar lark]

true but I like finding them by chance on people

[sick yoke]

just ask for the list of guns in gamma it's easier that way lol

[lethal steeple]

the true loss is the cutlass beretta

no longer i can say

safety always off

[twin timber]

Implied? Bro how do you think monolith soldiers are made

[lament night]

Why is it sometimes while I aim my game keeps forcefully unaiming and reaiming bunches of times all at once

Giant pain when trying to snipe people

[twin timber]

Something's fucky

[lament night]

No really, I had no idea

[twin timber]

Try asking help on base gamma support

Or is your game custom modded?

[sonic verge]

hello people

[twin timber]

Hello user

[lament night]

Heavily modded, but half the time I seem to get ignored over there

[sonic verge]

I dont use anymore, i quit that shit

[twin timber]

Yup, you're on your own

[lethal steeple]

step away from cover that sounds exactly like cover tilt

[sonic verge]

im not an addict

[twin timber]

Wait that's it?

[sonic verge]

which game?

[lethal steeple]

metro 2033

[sonic verge]

Thats because artyom is scared, he is shaking and his balance is off

[lament night]

It does it all the time while fighting, regardless of cover

[sonic verge]

Did Metro 2033 even have cover tilt?

[twin timber]

Can you record a video of it happening?

[lament night]

It just unaims and then goes back to aiming repeatedly

[sonic verge]

I don't recall it ever having that

[lament night]

One sec

[lethal steeple]

i mean for example things like bushes if you have the npcs can't see through bushes patch act as walls for raycasting purposes

[atomic pebble]

the thingi that make the people mad is sleep outside of "proper places"

[lethal steeple]

if the raycast of cover tilt sees a wall it tilts the weapon

[lament night]

It triggers at random, but you can see it sometimes here

[lament night]

My guy I'm in underground jupiter

[lethal steeple]

how would i even know

[lament night]

I'm saying this happens ANYWHERE, and has for a while

Location does not matter

[polar lark]

the gun excel list states the beretta too means it's not updated at all

[lethal steeple]

yeah but how could i guess you were in a completely bushless map

also the raycast thing still applies

it might be bad geometry

[lament night]

Gain omniscience, idk

But it's done this to me for forever

[lethal steeple]

obscure bad portal and sector interactions

[lament night]

Is there any kind of a fix

[runic pebble]

redownload gamma

[lament night]

It's kind of a bitch to be using a scope and suddenly "hee hoo aim shake time"

[lament night]

Eating your liver

[sick yoke]

oh the sheet shows every gun never mind then

[green wolf]

That bug where traders will be marked as a stash still exists or is there hopefully a spot above or below them?

[sick yoke]

there's an ltx file on the github (or in your mo2) that says what guns are valid spawns too

[near estuary]

talk about return on investment
lockpicks cost me 6k and I got 40 lapua rounds (dropped a box while taking the screenshot)

[polar lark]

very interesting, do you know the file name?

[sick yoke]

It’s like good_guns or something I don’t remember

Can probably narrow it down by going to the development channel and filtering for any message before whatever day 0.9.4 released

[polar lark]

thanks, will investigate from these clues

[uncut quarry]

Is there a console command that adds iron man lives?

[near estuary]

[blissful ivy]

How did you get it

Box?

[round onyx]

gamer time

[crisp turret]

is that the arti that allows you to kick stuff

[random grail]

No

[blissful ivy]

Its the 1 shot one

Repeated hits on target increase damage

Scaling with psy damage if you miss

The more stacks, the higher the stakes

Meaning you can die if you get enough stacks and then miss

[random grail]

And it's broken with melee weapons

Because you can't miss

[blissful ivy]

Yes

So if you have high ballistic res, you can melee the game away

One axe

Or sledge

[round onyx]

Oh fuck I didn't know that

[gritty swift]

So I haven't really played since 2023 or so, and I just got back into the game. Did they do any big rebalances?

I feel like headshots aren't nearly as effective as they used to be. The PP-19 used to be a pretty solid starter weapon cause you could just one tap heads but now it feels like I need 3 headshots to get those kills

[celest sparrow]

Your aim sucks or they are using Helmets

#🤖bot-commands and !patchnotes for details regarding changes done in 0.9.3 / 0.9.4
No changes regarding Ballistics tho, at least for 9x19

[gritty swift]

Maybe just aim, does feel like the PP-19 has worse MOA than I'm really trying to play it with

[blissful ivy]

What are you talking about

MOA isnt in gamma

You just say accuracy

And the main thing is making sure the irons are aligned

If you type crosshair into the console, one of the options will be to make it always visible, then turn on crosshair in settings, aim down sights and see if the dot is aligned with the tip of the sight

If it is, it just means the gun has mediocre accuracy

(Common for smgs)

[crisp turret]

Is it craft arti or it can spawn

[viral marsh]

I thought i was tripping , thinking something wrong with the viewmodel

[blissful ivy]

its spawn only

[viral marsh]

wtf was the problem with the old viewmodel for aks ?

[opaque moss]

main problem is that it was good

[opaque moss]

and you see there's this trend with gamma's weaponry quality where it has to get progressively worse and more bloated as time passes

[viral marsh]

and its not just one ak , all of em are like this now like why

[steep elm]

Are you talking about the ejection port being on the left side in this image?

Sorry to break it to you, but the ejection port on most AKs is actually on the right side.

Unless you have a specifically made left-handed AK

[viral marsh]

well fyi the actual maker of counter strike is left handed thats why its like this with mirror

but thats not even the point

[steep elm]

I was unaware of that

[viral marsh]

the viewmodel im talking about

[steep elm]

It's the biggest point I'm noticing

What else is wrong then

[crystal fiber]

Let me guess, the gun positioning?

[viral marsh]

yea , there is literally no point in changing that

[steep elm]

Gamma positioning looks perfectly fine to me

[viral marsh]

well its not bad but what was the actual point in doing that ?

[frank oxide]

ask Athi

#1306026800480256010

[steep elm]

I still fail to see the problem.

[frank oxide]

i suppose their issue is that the gun is too much to the right and close to the screen

[steep elm]

I guess

[frank oxide]

it looked odd at first but you kinda get used to it, its not horrible either

[viral marsh]

im not saying its terrible , im just tryna find out why

[frank oxide]

who knows why, ATHI replaces stuff just to freshen it up

[viral marsh]

maybe he has a backup for old viewmodels i can get

[frank oxide]

i wonder if the thales got fixed

last time it was quite big

[steep elm]

yeah that's massive

looks like a damn fish

[viral marsh]

reminds me of em massive guns from borderlands

welp as for my thing , i guess imma end up tryna go back to the old one with hud editor

[frank oxide]

you can probably find old positions in the ak family reanimation mod
at least that's what i'm seeing on those configs

[topaz mantle]

what rep i need for best knife?

[viral marsh]

hmm alr , i'll take a peek

but wouldn't it need 3dss patch ?

[topaz path]

U gotta murder monolith for the monolith blade

[viral marsh]

nop still same view , fov editor it is

[frank oxide]

Thats the mod grok added to replace old bas anims, so its in mo2

I’m just saying that you can edit the new w_ak .ltx’s from what i assume is just 3DSSG and replace the hud portions with it

[viral marsh]

hm alr i found the position entry in config

[muted spruce]

!tools

[dawn marten]

@muted spruce
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.
⠀

[viral marsh]

@frank oxide it has the hud editor entry , i can't just swap it with the original hud view , idk how so imma just deal with this i guess

keep playing the game

[round onyx]

MOA is an accuracy measurement of the cone ☝️ 🤓

[blissful ivy]

MOA is used in real life to measure accuracy on optics

doesnt apply to a video game that doesnt even attempt realistic measures

[round onyx]

If it's a cone MOA applies

[blissful ivy]

nothing in gamma is remotely close

[round onyx]

MOA is just "we're using fractions of degrees"

[blissful ivy]

yeah i know, but theres no reason to apply it here

because bullets go straight in gamma

[round onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/joe-biden-presidential-debate-huh-confused-gif-9508832355999336631

[blissful ivy]

gamma weapons all have like, idk, 0.4 MOA

[round onyx]

What does a bullet going straight have to do with MOA

[blissful ivy]

because the bullet is pinpoint accurate in gamma

it is pointless

[round onyx]

No it's not, what?

If they're all pinpoint accurate then accuracy wouldn't be a stat

[blissful ivy]

accuracy stat

[round onyx]

I shold know I kept giving my character dementia by missing a 20stack of Spike trying to headshot a guy only to see the bullet come out 3 pixels to the left

[blissful ivy]

if the weapon has more than 70% accuracy, its pretty much hardly ever going to miss unless youre shooting at very long range

which is like majority

[round onyx]

Well, yeah, so MOA is a thing that applies it just doesn't apply to your usual playstyle then

[blissful ivy]

to almost ANY playstyle

[round onyx]

"Doesn't happen" =/= "Doesn't happen 99% of the time"

[blissful ivy]

only smgs have <70 accuracy

which shouldnt even be used at the distances that it will affect your accuracy

so basically, unless you use 9mm for sniping, its hardly ever an issue

[round onyx]

Yeah you might be shocked at what weapon the guy mentioned

[blissful ivy]

yeah the pp-19

[placid root]

love me my 9x18 smg sniper

[round onyx]

Ok so it's a thing that happens just not frequently, that's fine, but don't go around saying it's not a thing in gamma

[blissful ivy]

which is pretty ok unless hes sniping, in which case thats just using a hammer for a screwdrivers job

[round onyx]

If you're at a stage where you're using the pp19 you don't have any better options than sniping with a 9mm

Luv me flea market wave defense with an mp5

[blissful ivy]

i mean MOA is just so complex imo

for gamma

calculating MOA is just not worth it

[random grail]

Moa?

[round onyx]

He wasn't calculating it tho afaik

[blissful ivy]

minute of angle

[blissful ivy]

he asked what the MOA is

[round onyx]

Ah okay, fair enough, my bad

[celest sparrow]

There really isn't a way to calculate it in GAMMA

[round onyx]

Then again MOA is calculable given ⁨fire_dispersion_base⁩ is 0.1 for a 1 degree cone but at the ranges most firefights happen in STALKER it's hardly ever worth doing anything about it

[blissful ivy]

the groupings are always like 0.2 inches at 100m

[round onyx]

Or at least it was 36.0 = 360º when I was modding SHOC back in the day

[blissful ivy]

so the MOA is very low

[round onyx]

idk if it changed

[round onyx]

I imagine calculating MOA is ok for people who literally have no clue what a good fire_dispersion_base value would be and would rather just math it out rather than boot up the game 20 times to get a value that doesn't feel too big nor too small, but it's not like people are gonna start taking potshots at 400m to mod a mosin with accurate values

[celest sparrow]

Accuracy scale is 1.5º to 0º in a spread cone which is influenced by Ammo Accuracy Factor and apparently Weapon Condition

[round onyx]

Granted in GAMMA that's not even necessary, it was back in the day when you had, may the wishgranter forgive me for uttering these words, Clear Sky's L85

[thick sedge]

anon did u get a chance to test BRC

[round onyx]

Fucking piece of shit had more spread than buckshot irl

[thick sedge]

@celest sparrow

[celest sparrow]

I've yet to update Dev2

[round onyx]

It was a Halo CE rifle

[celest sparrow]

[thick sedge]

L british gun

[round onyx]

Which was peak shenanigans given it had a scope integrated so that you could witness 80% of your shots going absolutely nowhere while the last one of your mag hits the guy's dick while aiming at his head

[thick sedge]

I felt that kind of spread too

it was a roblox game though..

[atomic pebble]

i like when the L85 don't appear in sdalger mods

[random grail]

So bad that people just remove it

[round onyx]

I was a wee lad when clear sky came out and that was my very first interaction with a L85 in vidyagaems

Now every time I see one mentioned anywhere or see it in media irl I cringe stupid hard

Also I remember modding the over and under in clear sky to have proper realistic values so it wasn't a call of duty shotgun

Grabbed it and started shooting at people and I was like

[crisp turret]

i missed the positioning debate but just disable all the EFT Reposition things and download dynamic viewmodel and stuff is fixed

[round onyx]

Wild question but does anyone know of a mod that lowers gun opacity when ADSing?

[crisp turret]

what do you mean

[round onyx]

Hold gun
Aim down sight
First person model goes to 50% opacity

[crisp turret]

heres how my ak looks ingame

[blissful ivy]

you want that "2 eyes" effect

[round onyx]

So the sight is partially see-through to mimic how you'd not actually lose sight of the target due to the sight itself since one eye goes through the sight but the other doesn't and sees the target, so closest way to mimic it is to lower opacity of the gun to be semi-transparent

[blissful ivy]

dont you

[crisp turret]

and walkin

[blissful ivy]

yeah i fucking knew it

[round onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/waltergotme-gif-18867690

[crisp turret]

is there a game that does that show me i can't understand

[blissful ivy]

it would be neat to have that, but make it faction specific

mercs, isg, military and eco/any trained factions would have that

but the untrained ones

[round onyx]

My stupid ass realized after watching those videos as to why someone would be a dumbass enough to use a Garand's ironsight

[blissful ivy]

bandits, loners, etc

would just close one eye

just because loner players are cringe and lame

so we should nerf them

fuck loners

[round onyx]

Secret tech wouldn't allow a 1000h veteran stalker to open his thirdsecond eye

[crisp turret]

wait so do you mean like 1 eye aiming or what i cant follow

iron sights are goofy enough ingame imo

[round onyx]

Extend your arm as much as you can and try to cover something far with your fingernail. You'll see your fingernail covering it with 1 eye but the second eye sees the object it's supposed to be covering.

[celest sparrow]

yeah you won't see that anywhere

cause idk

devs aren't smart enough

[crisp turret]

ive never seen that effect in any game

[celest sparrow]

yeah

doubt you can do it with Stalker Anomaly?

[crisp turret]

in real life do you shoot with 1 eye closed ?

[crisp turret]

maybe just enable DoF when aiming ?

[round onyx]

You have no idea what we're talking about do you lmao

[crisp turret]

nope

is it some illusion trick or what

dont you aim with 2 eyes open

[round onyx]

One eye has the ironsight block the target but the other doesn't

So if you aim with both eyes you can see the target past the ironsight

[random grail]

[celest sparrow]

there isn't a mod

[round onyx]

Otherwise this shit wouldn't make sense

[crisp turret]

i would rather get ironsights fixed first they are so ass

and then add some crazy effects like u talkin about

[round onyx]

Ironsights would be fixed with that funnily enough because then you wouldn't need to care about them obstructing stuff

[crisp turret]

i might begin to understand so like what you saying that effect makes you focus on the bigger picture

cuz most games if you ads iron sight you become focused and shit just blocks your view

[round onyx]

No

[crisp turret]

https://tenor.com/view/head-empty-cat-dumb-stupid-dumb-cat-gif-7569208462589859122

[round onyx]

Extreme example, cover one of your eyes with one hand

You can still see out the other eye

[crisp turret]

ye

[round onyx]

Now instead of your hand covering your eye it's the ironsight, you can still see out of the other eye fully

So you can still see the target fully even if you're using a Garand's ironsight up there

[crisp turret]

i see alot with my right eye but if i cover my right eye

my left one is weak

[round onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/sealyx-naked-gun-the-naked-gun-facepalm-facepalm-meme-gif-11743768702765397589

[crisp turret]

i see more with my right eye lul

xd

i cant picture what you trying to say

people say when they shoot iron sights with 2 eyes open they see double

When I'm shooting with the irons, I can focus on the front sight easily enough with my left eye, but with a target any farther than 3-4 yards, I end up with two different versions of the target beyond.

some guy says this is that what you sayin ?

[celest sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/rigby-rigby-cat-cat-tongue-silly-gif-17259024902518245138

[round onyx]

First is how it is ingame second is the closest thing a game engine can actually accomplish without rewriting the wholeass engine to accomodate it

[crisp turret]

ah i see so transparent guns ?

[round onyx]

Yeah

[crisp turret]

wouldnt that make optics kinda shit then ?

[round onyx]

I mean clear sky kind of did a workaround by having the screen just zoom in instead of bringing the gun up to aim down the sights, at least for pistols, but people didn't like that

No, why?

[crisp turret]

cuz you just ironsight for the win

[round onyx]

I'd imagine optics past x1 would just not do that at all, you're not suddenly getting x10 optic on your other eye

[cursive wagon]

[crisp turret]

Loners are kinda ass

[cursive wagon]

go back to starving to death merc

[round onyx]

If you're using both eyes it's easier to just look for a red dot than to fumble about lining up the sights and checking for a metal thingy at the end

[cursive wagon]

[blissful ivy]

i get money little man

[cursive wagon]

literally 75% of this is false except for the two games and their loyalty being mid

[celest sparrow]

Sorry guys but I will make every Mercenary into a submissive furry twink

Where's the second document in x-8 again? I got one of them, but I can't find the other one

The lab that's in outskirts

[crisp turret]

did you get the ones against the Burer ?

[lament night]

I killed the far left burer and got the order of transfer documents, and a second one that I can't remember where I grabbed it

I searched in the flooded room but didn't find any documents, just drugs and rats

[crisp turret]

isnt there only 1 document in x8 ?

[lament night]

There's 2 you have to get, and the order of transfer is optional

I got confused, I guess it's only the one document

Nevermind

[normal island]

Just became 13% more retarded after watching that whole ADS convo

[dusk vessel]

What the guy said about irons is true for irl but impossible to replicate ingame

Ingame when using irons you cant see below where youre aiming but irl your second eye still can basically

nimble sells illegal guns despite never killed a man doe

cluelo

[muted spruce]

Its a hyena I think

[uncut agate]

anybody else having out of sync reload with the ks23 shortie and sometimes it just not shooting? driving me nuts

I don't remember this being the case

[quartz violet]

some people don't get this
also invest in a holographic sight it makes this sooo much easier because your brain focuses on the bright dot and forgets the gun is there

also parallax

[muted spruce]

Not really, a massive issue of iron sights is the crazy sway which results in aiming where the irons are despite the gun firing in the center of the screen

Even with holos it is kinda shit

[gritty swift]

Normally play either Military or Duty, what's a good faction to try out?

[thick sedge]

mercenary

duty is ex-military

just more racist

[grave pivot]

Freedom

Or bandit

[quasi grove]

Depends on what you want
If want to limit fights ecologists
But your progress will be slower

[thick sedge]

mercenary and bandit is real fun

[grave pivot]

Clear sky if you just wanna be a goody two shoes

Fuck those nerds anyways

If only they werent located at the literal corner of the map

[thick sedge]

clear sky can start with a cool lever action rifle but that's it

fuck those nerds (1)

[gritty swift]

You guys took too long I'm ecologist. Thought about going Monolith so that I can just shoot first and never ask questions but I figured that'd be boring and unecessarily difficult, especially since I don't know the northern part of the zone too well

Also I forgot to grab a default gun when doing the loadout thing

[quasi grove]

Lol

[gritty swift]

What gun would you guys recommend btw? I've tried the Mosin and PP-19 and haven't really been a fan of either

PP-19 you don't start with alot of ammo and the Mosin is nigh unusable against mutants

[graceful quiver]

Like starting loadout?

[gritty swift]

Yea can't say any of the guns really feel all that great, and not in the normal starter weapon way I would think

[graceful quiver]

For all intents and purposes, the best starting weapon is a 9x18/x19 machine pistol/SMG that you can afford for your faction

You will run into 9x18/x19 almost all the time, and those weapons tend to have part that can be reused down the line

[grave pivot]

The only opps you got are Monolith, Bandits, Renegades, Sin, and ISG. And the latter two dont even spawn before BS. You are in for one boring gameplay, unless you like Artifact hunting

Personally, Ecologists are ASS

[gritty swift]

Never gone Artifact hunting tbh, no idea how to do that

[grave pivot]

I, Dotal Tandits Heath, only joined Duty so i can massacre Freedomers and Bandits

0 arrests, 500 Self Defence cases

[gritty swift]

The name's Bill Kandits

[grave pivot]

Just get a bear detector, or Echo if you like playing Hot or cold with an artifact

[grave pivot]

Names, Zate Hone.

[graceful quiver]

Yeah, and keep a mental map of familiar anomaly zones, then just stop by to check them every so often

[gritty swift]

Yea I feel like they changed the balancing of headshots since I last played cause why the hell is a Clear Sky with a hood just tanking 5.45 to the head

[blissful ivy]

Isg and sin do spawn before bs, but quite rarely

[blissful ivy]

They didnt

They still do that sometimes

[grave pivot]

ah, didnt know that. I did saw one ISG guy on my loner playthrough. Dude was charging through Monolithians like a tank

[blissful ivy]

Isg is the most effective faction

[gritty swift]

That's kinda cringe ngl

[blissful ivy]

Against stalkers

[blissful ivy]

Yeah, but thats because npc models dont always line up with headgear

Sometimes they have a hood, but are wearing a surplus helmet

[crisp turret]

do you mean in game or what

don't all npc's have monolith AI ?

[blissful ivy]

Ai isnt my point

Its their gear

They always have better shit

Unless its a trainee

But any time the isg is like professional or better, chances are they win

Unless the enemy is stacked up with high level stalkers

[crisp turret]

you mean like in AI vs AI fight ?

[grave pivot]

i do want to ask, is Busy Hands still buggy as hell after all these years

[marsh bridge]

only had one single busy hands bug happen to me in my playthrough where i've set up base at zaton and it was because i loaded a save whilst i was in the middle of killing myself from having 0 psy health

[grave pivot]

alr

[marsh bridge]

theres also a busy hands detector mod in the gamma modlist you can enable if you're anxious about busy hands though its not perfect

[crisp turret]

ive played with all animations on, doing all the goofy stuff ive not had 1 busy hand bug since god knows when

probabbly before 0.9.3 or something

[grave pivot]

ill try it out

[marsh bridge]

yea alot of coding improvements have definitely helped in stopping busy hands from being as common but its not completely gone

[grave pivot]

alr, now i just gotta see how to turn on mag check anims

Having my Dutyer Feel how much bandits he could kill with one mag would be funny, but it wouldnt make a lot of sense

[crisp turret]

you have to disasble busy hands fix in the MCM thingy

[grave pivot]

ohh mcm, alr

[crisp turret]

i think its in the FDDA mcm

[uncut agate]

Anyone have a fix for the KS23 out of sync reload sounds?

Happening to me with the shortie

[gritty swift]

Newbies chat is full of annoying people right now. Can someone tell me what to do about that thumb looking fuck that screws my camera up and instakills me?

It's really annoying me cause it's the first quest I've gotten from the Mercs but it's just impossible for me to complete since he just kills me in one or two hits

[crisp turret]

what you doing ?

ah you mean controller, you have to break line of sight

when you hear the ZUUU sound duck somewhere

[gritty swift]

So am I just supposed to burst damage it

?

[crisp turret]

yeah you hit him while he is casting his ZUUU magic and when its at the end u duck it breaks and he goes again

also he drains your psy its above your HP body thing you die when it goes to 0

you cant rush him in melee as well cuz he points the gun at your face

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc9Busj4xhA

we are not in a perfect world

[gritty swift]

How much ammo would you recommend for a controller?

I have just shy of two mags of 9x19 FMJ

like 53 bullets total

[crisp turret]

vs mutants you want HP ammo theres a script even in the game so they take less dmg from other ammos

[gritty swift]

Yea I know that but HP is more expensive

[crisp turret]

or buckshot

buy HP ammo from butcher

[gritty swift]

I am NOT traveling all the way to Garbage to buy HP for a single enemy

When I go to garbage naturally I'll load up but I'm not doing it rn

[crisp turret]

well ye you have to prep before

he probably would eat alot, shoot his head

[marsh bridge]

the old guy at red forest also sells hp ammo for cheap

[grave pivot]

Sucks that i cant have 3DSS for DX8 😭

[marsh bridge]

forester or whatever his name is

[crisp turret]

i think they should make Barman be like Butcher

[gritty swift]

Well how much ammo would you recommend then?

[crisp turret]

always carry HP ammo or mutant killing gun

otherwise you cant play imo you gonna run out of ammo or into no money problem

[marsh bridge]

545 556 and 762x39 have ok mutant damage for their fmj ammos so whatever amount of any of those 3 ammos you have get an extra 30%

[gritty swift]

Yea I get that but I'm a fresh spawn so I don't really have that option yet

[crisp turret]

so why you going to underground theres some tuff mutants there

and the bandits

[gritty swift]

Underground? I'm on the surface

[crisp turret]

you doing spring cleaning for mercs ?

[gritty swift]

This bastard is roaming the bottom right building of Dead City

[gritty swift]

Nah it's called Base Clearing, it's from the guy on the 2nd floor, Aslan I think is his name

[crisp turret]

yeah s ame quest

[grave pivot]

I do wonder if i can lower the graphics of DX11 enough to make it look like DX8 and have my not PC heat up like a stove and get 3Dss

[crisp turret]

it spawns chimeras and tuff mutants that quest

if you rng badly

[gritty swift]

So far the only real tough one is this annoying bald bastard

[crisp turret]

bait him into the merc base

[gritty swift]

And if I can just clear enough of the surface that's fine. The issue is I need to get to that building for another quest anyway

[gritty swift]

Not a bad idea tbh, hopefully I can do it well

[crisp turret]

if you play with normal gamma you take credit for the mission even if someone else kills him

so do something else until you get ammo

gamma is kinda ass every action you do if its not for a mission you lose money or if you use wrong equipment

i suggest avoid killing mutants at the start if you didnt pick the broken guns like tommy or ppsh

get delivery missions, kill X guy, lost signals

[gritty swift]

Aight I got the bastard, I found a funky angle where I could deadstare him and tap his noggin without him going ZUUUU

[crisp turret]

ye one time i got a pseudogiant from spawn that mission can rng some shit mutants

[uncut agate]

fixed by downloading newest version of Oleh's weapon sounds tweaks and fixes

[gritty swift]

Aight so how do I counter a Psy Field? Cause now that I killed the Controller the building I need to go into that he was guarding is full of Psy shenanigans

Will Psyblockers be enough?

[uncut agate]

depends on the strength of the field. to go through psy fields, you gotta be quick enough to not get killed or have crazy resist

in early/mid game, best to avoid them

[crisp turret]

psy resistances counters fields

if its not MM or BS fields then you are cooked

[uncut agate]

you're gonna need a very good helmet and psy meds most likely

[crisp turret]

you can run in and out before you run out of psy bar but in the early game they cook u pretty fast

[gritty swift]

Oh wait nvm I'm wrong, the quest RNGd to a different building after I got killed by the controller

Swag

[crisp turret]

bro is fighting in the school

LUL

[uncut agate]

was it the agroprom one or in meadow?

[crisp turret]

nah he is in dead city in the school

[uncut agate]

ah

[gritty swift]

It was the House of Culture but now it's just a building next to the city center

[uncut agate]

thats one you can get through later game with gear

[gritty swift]

Anyone know where this is? Can't find it

It says it's on the bottom ground level so I don't think it's anywhere in the upper levels of the destroyed building

[uncut agate]

check the underground passages

there are entry points in manholes

nvm

its gotta be somewhere in the rubble

[dull warren]

no clip time

[gritty swift]

FOUND IT

It was in a green bag under the rubble next to a gutter pipe

It was just blending in heavily with the grass and everything

[uncut agate]

the interaction dots def help with that

i think they were disabled by default in one of the patches

[gritty swift]

Yea they were

[uncut agate]

I like them quite a bit, so i re-enabled them. I dont really have a performance impact as was noted as the reason for their removal

[gritty swift]

Aight so is there anything worth selling to the Merc vendors or am I better off going to other places? Mainly ammo and mutant parts

[uncut agate]

what faction are you? mutant parts are best sold to butcher or ecologists, depending on type. TBH, I like to keep them for arti crafting and fetch tasks

your problem will likely be actually getting to those traders safely

[gritty swift]

Merc

[uncut agate]

but standard gear can be sold to mercs just fine. There isn't really much to sell except shit weapon parts, useless valuables, attachments, and glowsticks

[gritty swift]

So afaik I shouldn't have an issue with Ecologist unless the base is covered in Loners

[uncut agate]

if you really want to sell mutant parts, yantar is probably easiest, but you wont get best prices for anything not labeled "scientific specimen" or something like that

like i said, it is more useful to just keep them for now to do easy fetch tasks around base for money and stash locations

[gritty swift]

Everything I have atm is labeled Science Speciman so I should be fine on that end

[uncut agate]

and you're gonna need some for arti crafting

the ecos will give you decent money, but a fetch task might get you 5x or more what they would give you, depending on the part

and stash locations and rep

[crisp turret]

from the ecos is good to grab the dummy that wants to kill mutants and roam around with him he kills the mutants and you get free 5k from the mission

[gritty swift]

Just got killed by an invisible wall and a psy field in Yantar

[crisp turret]

ye thats the MM psy field

[gritty swift]

Spectacular. Came in from Dead City through the side route to avoid the MM, but apparently right by the Bonfire is a Psy Field aswell as an invisible wall that stops you from running away

[crisp turret]

you have to enter not from the road from dead city but from the topside

[gritty swift]

Yea I didn't take the road

[crisp turret]

wtf so how did you end up in the psy field

[gritty swift]

Went a bit too far left when coming down towards Eco, was on the Chainlink on the otherside of Bonfire

[crisp turret]

the top side entrance tps you nowhere near the psy fields

[gritty swift]

Ran down to there and got killed

[crisp turret]

hehe

[dull warren]

yup that will do it

[gritty swift]

Yea on the otherside of the fence

[crisp turret]

dont you have the notification thingy going on

[gritty swift]

Invisible wall and Psyfield

[crisp turret]

and the piss filter

[dull warren]

and piss filter

[gritty swift]

The only warning I got was a heartbeat and psy damage

The filter didn't happen

[crisp turret]

i see you have the LUT going on maybe u downloaded a mod to remove stuff

[gritty swift]

LUT? I'm running the GOG version

I downloaded the normal method a few years ago, and then decided quite quickly that it was not worth doing a second time

[crisp turret]

wtf normal gamma looks this clean ?

[uncut agate]

normal gamma looks really good, especially if you turn up that grass density and height

[crisp turret]

i thought he was using the Forester LUT

[dull warren]

normal gamma loks amazing if u just chang grass and trees and just add any saturation tbh

[uncut agate]

c-con trees look really good, may have to do that for a future playthrough. i think it supposed to be added to gamma though

[dull warren]

i peronally love the nice enviting pretty forests and greeny with all my mutants of horrar and death, its a nice contrast i think

i use C-con

[radiant sage]

I personally think upping saturarion usually hurts the visual image more than it adds

[uncut agate]

i dont mind the slightly dead aesthetic, but i really like the aydins grass in gamma

[crisp turret]

this what i use

[uncut agate]

i think gamma looks best when its dreary

[dull warren]

naw, depression is not inviting

[uncut agate]

its not supposed to be?

[dull warren]

how u getta get people wanna go somewher that look like shit?

[uncut agate]

its an irradiated zone with secret labs and mutants lol

[dull warren]

where is the alure

[uncut agate]

to me the dreary alien landscape is appealing

[gritty swift]

Kinda hoping they fix Stalker 2 so that we can get Stalker 2 GAMMA

[radiant sage]

The allure isn't really the landscape

[radiant sage]

Brainrot ngl

[dull warren]

nothing alien about a bunch of dead trees idk

[uncut agate]

matches the delipidated post-soviet vibe

[dull warren]

maybe in 15 years we get gamma 2

[dull warren]

u kinda need the seond M from gamma to be a thing before it gets a gamma 🤷‍♂️

[crisp turret]

Maybe in 4-5 years if we are alive

[gritty swift]

Ngl I have no clue what GAMMA stands for. Know it stands for something, but no idea what

🤔

[crisp turret]

Get Artifacts & Make Money Asap

[dull warren]

ill give u a hint, IT RIGHT THERE

[crisp turret]

thats the crazy person talking i gave you the real meaning

[radiant sage]

Not that the modpack really is THAT modular

[dull warren]

ITS RIGHT THERE

[dull warren]

i mean, it kinda is

[gritty swift]

Gary And Mellissas Mod Attack

[crisp turret]

it is modular but you need to know modding in aint skyrim

[blissful ivy]

It is

[dull warren]

i modularated it just fine

[radiant sage]

Yes it's modular, but my point is that it's not as modular as it ought to be considering modular is in the name

It's way too easy to break it

[dull warren]

idk i think its prettyy chill with it

as modular as any modpack really

[crisp turret]

thats cuz some things are named super vague and if you aint a modder or just know what stuff does what

[uncut agate]

its a bit late in the day, but my game looks decidedly drearier

[crisp turret]

green trees with red grass ?

[uncut agate]

its in the swamps, thats default. Grass is a bit browner because it is dying i suppose

[crisp turret]

le me check my swamp

[uncut agate]

this is another location

in the swamps. that first one was by the transition to agroprom

[uncut agate]

tbh not that different. I think most of it just my grass is taller and the time of day

and weather

[crisp turret]

i dont have green trees

[uncut agate]

yeah, but im talking more lighting and vibe

[crisp turret]

how my Topola looks

Populus tree

I think grass size and density is the #1 gamma looksmaxer

i think it suits the dead vibe also is crazy with Arrival

getting the leaf effect and stuff

[gritty swift]

Am I unable to sell guns in general or is it a durability thing?

Should I just be field stripping and ditching guns?

[uncut agate]

bruh

you cant sell or buy guns and armor

[crisp turret]

you cant sell guns only if you activate black market

[uncut agate]

some people will pay you a ton of cash to find specific weapons. Freedom has those missions for sure

[crisp turret]

i tried playing with non dead trees and u know what grinds my gears and i cant unsee

[uncut agate]

well i dont want to see it too!

[crisp turret]

do u wanna know cuz it might fuck u as well

alright not telling

[uncut agate]

[crisp turret]

if you wanna believe the shiny rock its up to you

if u dont wanna know the man behind the machine

[uncut agate]

love that movie

[crisp turret]

theres only one true graphic setting to play when you see it on other seasons

its impossible to play after it

[uncut agate]

tbh once tree TAA was implemented, i was happy

[crisp turret]

i wish we had those texture gen tools that skyrim has

[uncut agate]

all the work arounds with reshade ate too many frames

[crisp turret]

ye reshade is so ass i stopped using it only for fps counter

[graceful quiver]

Is there a way to directly edit your money amount?

[crisp turret]

you can add money with debug

[graceful quiver]

I want to also take it out as well

Actually editing the amount

[crisp turret]

hm not sure where that is stored

but you can add yourself bills from the debug menu or click make me rich which i think adds the cap

[blissful ivy]

Buy shit

[graceful quiver]

[crisp turret]

buy some ram

[graceful quiver]

That reminds me, has there been a proper way to edit Anomaly saves?

[crisp turret]

i think its only with debug

Oh you meant the SA58

Nvm, thought you were replying to the lapua rounds

Yeah I grabbed it off a fellow Freedomer from a lost signal squad

[graceful quiver]

Guess I'll just use CE or something

[near estuary]

I was thinking I'd use the swamp thing for BS

But now I'm split

[uncut agate]

found me a PS6-V Duty suit and the Duty Berill armor, but am yet to to find advanced tools despite my best effort. Absolute classic for a pretty good ironman run so far lol

im relegated to running the haggard, but effective loadout and doing agroprom underground

I think the duty berill will be a bit better though, even though the PS6-V has better bullet resistance and is a bit more exotic

[blissful ivy]

I didnt even see the .338

Skill issue. 🤔

[brave adder]

Will loners attack me if my goodwill with them is too negative when I turn off the brainscorcher as a merc?

[covert nova]

If it's below -1000, I believe so

[brave adder]

Thanks, I think I am in deep trouble haha

[steep elm]

https://tenor.com/view/danger-gif-15291718235185428481

[mental furnace]

[frigid furnace]

You really must've went out of your way to fuck over loners if turning off the brain scorcher isn't enough to make them neutral

[brave adder]

hanged out with bandits a lot and all they do is ask you to kill loners on a regular basis

[frigid furnace]

It's honestly better to do duty quests

Better gear on average and you get overall more of them too since you can get them from two factions.

[brave adder]

also loners go out of their way to molest me in the army warehouses so might consider it self defense at that point

guess i gotta go and do a few quests for them before it gets past -1000

[grave solar]

I just went from Jupiter to pripyat and waiting for me in the stairwell was at least 2 psysuckers and a handful of karlicks....wtf game.

its impassable, if this was iron man I'd be seething rn...I get instakilled by the stacked up psy ghosts that they send.

[steep elm]

wonderful RNG I see

[grave solar]

Im currently trying to run upstairs and get out of the window before instakill, i have to do it without stopping or i die xD

[grave pivot]

EHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

[steep elm]

Using that one mod that allows smaller shotguns and such in the vision/melee slot?

[grave pivot]

thanks to the RPG mod, i reload twice as fast

[steep elm]

I thought about grabbing that again.

[grave pivot]

script based calibre conversions, and that mod

[grave solar]

I did not know you could get a sawnoff that fires ks23 rounds

[grave pivot]

literal hand cannon, destroys Pseudos in a few reloads

[steep elm]

Oh fuck, I didn't even notice the caliber change

based

is that in mod posting?

[grave pivot]

plus with 30% faster draw speed (I plan to make it faster)

[grave pivot]

i think so, ill send you the links ig

[steep elm]

[quick tangle]

awww, so Grok decided to proceed with 0.8 Psi and increased fire res for Duty? Or are these old numbers.

there was some discussion a while ago about Duty being mutant hunter faction (at least, most oriented towards that in their philosophy, out of all existing factions), so obviously needing Psi res to deal with Psi mutants.

and the counter argument was "red color = fire res"

[valid loom]

So glad I already had hydrashock in the mag, Im pretty heavy with all the loot... Good thing it also went dumb at the corner and didnt lunge

[grave pivot]

Gamme broke and had to spend 2 hours fixing it

Worked.. at the cost of losing Mags -m-

Whats that mod that makes your inventory bigger or makes the icons of your items smaller?

[severe wren]

HMMM, i don't think thats supposed to happen...

imagine my shock when i try to load a fresh bullet into the frontal cortex of a bandit, and all i see is that

damn near shat myself

[valid crater]

Does this weapon have a grenade launcher? Sometimes I got this happening when I use the nade launcher and switch back to normal mode.

[severe wren]

it's a p90, so probably not the grenade launcher

i did switch from a canted aiming to the optics, so maybe the switch borked it?

thankfully it fixed itself after level transition

[valid crater]

That may be a reason too, since it switched to a "sight", as with a nade launcher.

And when going back it forgets it 's a scope.

[severe wren]

i've also had my game crash when all of a sudden, i can't use my night vision goggles anymore, and i can't save. When i level transition, the game instacrashes

Well, too many scripts running constantly.

[agile epoch]

Oh Garlic Jr.
How low you have fallen

[foggy geyser]

rip little man

[stable trout]

guys where do I find this book? Professor Sakharov does not have it

[covert nova]

You can find it on Master/Legend Stalkers like the Exo book

[stable trout]

So I need to level up

[covert nova]

No, you need to kill Master/Legend rank stalkers (they are up north mostly)

[severe wren]

you need to go murder people

and take it off their corpse

stalker style

[stable trout]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

alright

I wanna make the knot artifact yk. But please do not spoil

[mental furnace]

Jupiter

[mental furnace]

3 tome is drop only

[round onyx]

game not recognizing my headset anymore
What the fug

[stable trout]

How large is the chance it actually drops?

[valid loom]

Ah a recent change, still not wrong about looking for it in Jupiter.

Or Outskirts... but it never was my favorite.

[valid loom]

Can't say, just kill more people.

[mental furnace]

4%

[stable trout]

I like the outskirts more because Jupiter is ugly. There is the ugly square with the ship and then there is the ugly square with the railway

[agile epoch]

Time to make a decision. Do I fear boolet or anoomaly more?

[stable trout]

no difference, I still confuse them

[stable trout]

quite good tbh. expected smth like 0,015

[mental furnace]

🤫

[valid loom]

Probably cheesing the Barrier or Limansk missions is a go to option.

[stable trout]

what is cheesing the Barrier?

[valid loom]

Involves a lot of bullets and waves and the occasional RPG.

Good times.

[stable trout]

I love the missions where you have to shoot a lot and with a brutal crossfire

For example yesterday I disabled the brain scorcher and I enjoyed the ammount of loot lol

the loot is one of the best things about killing enemies

[cursive bone]

is this not defaultt stalker gamma?

[lost bridge]

IWP monolith's need to calm the fuck down with spawning grenade launchers holy shit I keep getting RGMs and M320s from them

And they're the only faction left that still spam grenades at you, og style

Thankfully GLs in this game have a safety distance so grenades don't explode near the user. This also means GL monos become harmless because their grenades don't explode when I'm near them

The launcher grenades that is

[humble saffron]

gamma doesnt use ccon, it uses aydin's

[stable trout]

Wdym? Don't other factions also throw grenades?

[lost bridge]

In IWP before the final patch, other enemies threw grenades a lot but it seems this update only the monos still throw grenades a lot now

[stable trout]

hm

what's IWP?
