[vast summit]

You're just not open minded man you gotta think outside the pipe with this gun

[gentle grove]

Why id the mutant arena closed?

[blissful ivy]

crashes and shit from the door

lmao

[gentle grove]

Wheres the best place to camp out early game to get geared, cordon, rostok or garbage?

or somewhere else?

[real crypt]

The VSSK is great put some respect on my boy

[blissful ivy]

Its a piece of shit

I will not put respect on a brick of dogshit

[blissful ivy]

Wild territory

[real crypt]

Such unrefined taste 😔

[blissful ivy]

If you can deal with all sorts of stalkers

[blissful ivy]

I just dont like pointless shit thats also subsonic

Shak has respect because it slaps

VSSK sucks at its job

Sniping

[real crypt]

I bet you also think the LADA is not the greatest car to ever have been manufactured

[blissful ivy]

It is tho, it bounced a tank shell once

[real crypt]

Along with the Renault Twingo

And the only good thing to come out of the UK

The Reliant Robin

[blissful ivy]

I cant agree there, i prefer a yugo, a proper engineering marvel

[real crypt]

Disgusting

[blissful ivy]

[real crypt]

I sincerely enjoy seeing weird looking Soviet weaponry too much

Like the AS VAL and VSS family weapons

The Groza

[thick sedge]

whatever grok is doing I keep getting magazines regardless

[real crypt]

The APS (the rifle, not the pistol)

[real crypt]

Gun magazines or reading magazines

[thick sedge]

reading ones

[real crypt]

I haven't updated in a while, might be something on your end

On older versions I got literal metric tons of magazines tho

[thick sedge]

just remembered they were playboy magazines so he had to make the game sexual-free

[unborn tendon]

are you a fan of the aks?

i personally can't stand them

bar like ak monolit

[real crypt]

Which ones

[unborn tendon]

any and all

[real crypt]

Depends

[unborn tendon]

just the entire platform. specifically soviet one's

not the modified shit

[real crypt]

I find the wood furniture AKs unironically disgusting

[unborn tendon]

for nato rounds

[real crypt]

The AK101 and AK105? Very nice

AN94? You are on thin ice buddy

[unborn tendon]

an94's iron scope is a crime against humanity

[real crypt]

Nah they're fine

[thick sedge]

it looks like a bottle opener

but they're fine

see

[unborn tendon]

though i can tell you after having held an ak 74. i fucking hate how unruly it is

though then again. irl and in game is different shit

[real crypt]

Yeah

Compare it to the OTS-14

The AN94 sights are fucking peak

[thick sedge]

in another game I played 47 does more damage and more recoil while the 74 is the opposite

[gentle grove]

I blew his hand schmoov off

[real crypt]

I mean...that is precisely why Russia swapped from 7.62 type rounds to 5.45

[unborn tendon]

i didn't know thats what the zone meant by a "potent wank"

[thick sedge]

grok add qbz because mercs are from china

[gentle grove]

oop-

[unborn tendon]

the gun is still a piece of shit. and believe me russians at large still use ak 74's

[gentle grove]

Guess it was a wank so powerful it killed my game

[real crypt]

They use AK74s generally because they are cheaper

You know

[unborn tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-cat-cat-funny-cat-flashbang-flashbang-gif-8479999063609699416

[real crypt]

Russia's entire thing of just

Mass weaponry and shit like that

[unborn tendon]

they use ak 74's because ak 74 stockpiles are near infinite. disasembly is braindead. maintenance can be done by a child.

[thick sedge]

what were they thinking designing the vssk with very low muzzle velocity

(with the integral suppressor that is)

[real crypt]

Yeah, that's what I said

[unborn tendon]

because i can tell im from ukraine and we still have ak 74s in armouries that have dates all the way to 1974

[gentle grove]

iirc its meant for special ops for use where subsonic is required

[thick sedge]

do they expect covert ops but at sniper range, do the military know the bullet drop™

[real crypt]

When your rifle round is so heavy it becomes an artillery operation

[gentle grove]

i think it was built for close to med ranges

[thick sedge]

I keep seeing youtubers confused why they didn't one shot the head when the bullet pierced their balls or something

very awesome gun

[real crypt]

GAMMA has a learning curve in terms of how damage works to be fair

It can be obnoxious

[thick sedge]

this or shak-12

[gentle grove]

no its not, just gotta remember that the enemy will either have better armor or better guns, or get the drop on you. or you crash. that happens far too often

[real crypt]

I've had moments where random Duty or Freedomers would survive 12.7 rounds, and that's with me using Artigrok which buffs the armor pen in the first place

Playing with enemy healthbars in this mod pack can be the most depressive shit because you will hit a headshot at high range and the enemy will just give you the Balkan stare

[gentle grove]

subsonic .50 roundhead rounds arent very penetrative

[real crypt]

You haven't used Artigrok have you

[gentle grove]

No, what that be?

[real crypt]

A mod that for GAMMA that adds missing ammo types (FMJ .357 for example) and special artifact infused ammunition

The rounds that I usually hoard artifact fragments for are 12.7 Penetrator rounds

Which I shit you not

The tooltip is just

Penetration: Infinite

[gentle grove]

is it actually infinite or does it just buff it a lot?

[real crypt]

Feels like it just entirely bypasses armor most of the time

Didn't actually look through the .script files

I think it's a must have for GAMMA tho

[silent cape]

that's what the RSH 12 is chambered in?

[real crypt]

Yeah

[gentle grove]

never really bothered to customize gamma much, most ive done is re enable inspect anims and black market to sell guns off

[real crypt]

There are a lot of incredibly fun mods

[gentle grove]

I figured since I crash prob 15 times in 2 hours I shouldnt touch the mods

[real crypt]

That.. sounds unusual

You ever checked the log files?

[sick yoke]

It’s just really high ap

[real crypt]

I crash maybe once every 4 hours and I got 800 mods in my list rn

[gentle grove]

I dont know what to look for, but I do have my latest crash log

[real crypt]

Post it real quick

[sick yoke]

Although making ap like 5000 is functionally the same as infinite

[real crypt]

Discombobulate ammunition

[real crypt]

How old is your install?

And what modifications do you have if any

I am probably not the right person to take advice from but I got those sorts of blank shutdowns when I was randomly running out of memory due to a memory leak

Idk, strange

[gentle grove]

this is when I updated

[real crypt]

Yeah weird

Game installed on an SSD and you got a decent amount of RAM ye?

[gentle grove]

yes and 16g of mem

[real crypt]

Strange

I dunno

Might be worth asking for help in #🔨base-gamma-support

[subtle jewel]

Are you using the MT test branch of the exes?

[real crypt]

Didn't that show up in logs or am I crazy

[gentle grove]

I'm just using whatever comes with the standard download, sans inspect anims and black market being re enabled

[subtle jewel]

Try changing from AVx

[gentle grove]

it says theres an update via moddb, could that be it?

[subtle jewel]

It's the most unstable option, otherwise I don't know why on gettin the ID for the parts on looting it crashes

[gentle grove]

where do I do that? (not good with this stuff obv)

[subtle jewel]

Just don't select DX11Avx, use the normal DX11

[gentle grove]

OOH I see it, the box for avx support

[real crypt]

Why do the AVX EXEs even exist, I thought they were always broken

[subtle jewel]

Because they can help in some scenarios, they're just not meant to be the default

[gentle grove]

I never selected it, I just pressed play once the downloads finished lol

[real crypt]

It is selected by default when opening the Anomaly 1.5.3 launcher for the first time if I remember

I could be wrong tho

[subtle jewel]

It might, it shouldn't. MO2 is simply configured to launch the launcher, which is unnecessary, just launch the proper version directly in MO2

[real crypt]

I am sad GSC shut down my friend's attempt to recreate Anomaly in Unity before he could even start properly

[subtle jewel]

What would that even achieve?

[real crypt]

But then again I am not sure Unity could handle the amount of mods people pump into this game either

[real crypt]

Less XRay Engine shenanigans

More current, more familiar environment for development

[subtle jewel]

Xray is less bloated and runs better than Unity in any case

[real crypt]

Debatable

[subtle jewel]

It's a tailored engine vs an engine that is aimed at doing anything and everything. It will always run better

And I've used both considerably

[gentle grove]

This guy just loves to break I guess

[real crypt]

I wouldn't underestimate these little game engines. Hell Roblox communities always find ways to randomly release a game every 3 months that makes you think damn how tf is that Roblox

Source falls under this as well but ever since Source 2 man people can pump out some crazy stuff

[subtle jewel]

I'm not underestimating the engine, I've worked and made enough projects on it to speak from experience. The engine in recent years moved on to a black box approach and their configurable renderpaths are a fucking pain to work with, while running quite an overhead

Tarkov is a decent example of how the game can struggle to render something like Forest, whereas you can chuck an easy 60 milion triangles of flora/details (an actual figure) at Xray and it still runs and looks decent at good frame rate

There's some really clever tricks Xray uses

[real crypt]

Tarkov just makes me sad when I think about it

[fading plinth]

im tryna have 60 million triangles

[real crypt]

Modern games in general kinda make me sad

[subtle jewel]

Just go to the bandit camp in Trucks cemetery and look south, you'll get around 80 milions triangles rendered of flora/details objects

[real crypt]

Like not even about the performance thing, I can run most modern games, but they feel so braindead boring only a few good games come out every once in a while that aren't Indie

[fading plinth]

goddamn hell yeah gimme triangle

bosh

[real crypt]

Doesn't XRay just do LODs to reduce system load?

[subtle jewel]

Blame the game design schools, producing cookie cutter game designers that only want to make the same-ish tripple A game

[real crypt]

I've been enjoying Project Silverfish honestly

[fading plinth]

indie so makes sense

[real crypt]

STALKER inspired, UE5 but with a well defined cartoony aesthetic

[subtle jewel]

For progressive trees, npcs and a single LOD level to billboard for static geometry. Flora detail meshes don't have lods no

[fading plinth]

i agree modern triple a isnt as good as it was, but we do still get fun creative stuff nowadays

i mean death stranding 2 came out and that was great

clair obscur etc

[real crypt]

Meanwhile I am dreading having to generate my own LODs for Fallout 4 once I start modding that properly

[subtle jewel]

LODs is one of the easiest thing to make, what's there to even be dreading?

[fading plinth]

i remember generating new vegas lods, it just takes a bit

wasnt hard

do you mean making you rown mods or just installing?

[real crypt]

Extremely annoying to do on a WIP modslist

[subtle jewel]

Just play without and make them once a week or whenever you feel it's stable enough

Why make work when it's going to be discarded anyway soon because of iteration

[real crypt]

A decent amount of mods that add cells ask for LOD regeneration for reasons that elude me

It is not like it breaks anything

[fading plinth]

what mods are you gonna be installing that need new lods anyway? i assume a forest mod and stuff cuz thats all the rage with fallout now

[real crypt]

It just creates missing texture monoliths in the distance which is extremely annoying

I wish Bethesda games had better ways to install modpacks on them

No, Wabbajack does not count

Wabbajack is ass

[fading plinth]

better than nexus collections

[limber osprey]

since no one is anwsering my easy question in newbies chat imma post it here. hey im trying to remember what other artifacts were used other than Volat Emerald, Compass, Full Empty for the endgame build?

[real crypt]

Any you want

Depends on your armor

If you have 5 slots you usually slap a mutant hide and upgraded Kevlar plate on

[limber osprey]

considering either to first go with the nosorog from duty or maybe try get the highest slot count UNISG stuff

since im doing duty playthrough anyway

[fading plinth]

i assume unisg nosorog is still the best

[real crypt]

I live beyond the meta in a singleplayer game

[limber osprey]

i think it has 5 slots, Duty if i remember is best raw stats wise.

[real crypt]

I just choose whatever gun or armor looks coolest at the time

[limber osprey]

tho duty nosorog is just 4 slots lmao

[limber osprey]

ngl same, though im just now trying to find a compromise between cool af looking guns and onetappability of enemies

[fading plinth]

yeah you dont really need meta unless ur trying to do ironman or some challenge

i beat the main quest without artefacts at all once, it just takes a bunch of bullets and cover

i only mean living legend by that, not like the other 3

[real crypt]

I deadass did a lot of my playthroughs with the PPSH and pretty much just that

[fading plinth]

gamba gets boring by the end of living legend

[limber osprey]

yep. and i always change some mods anyway to make it more casual, i dont need to have another "misery" level expierience, i had my fair share in the past of that lmfao. im less of a tryhard nowadays and more of a casual fun exploration/maybe few genocides guy

[real crypt]

Nah GAMMA is very easy

Just obnoxious at times

[limber osprey]

tbh i dont think i completed the last questline, the one with sin. i still need to finally do it lol

[real crypt]

I personally think the Gunslinger Suicide Restoration to be cool but worthless

Not used in any actual setpieces

Just makes certain situations obnoxious as fuck

[fading plinth]

the only change i make to gamma is to just change the fast travel system a bit so im walking less overall cuz it gets boring sprinting in heavy armor through the same 4 areas trying to farm exp tools or whatever i want

[limber osprey]

yeah id rather just make it less annoying, re-enabled mechanic upgrades for that reason, id rather have casual fun than grinding and praying to RNG gods to drop what i need.

[real crypt]

Like entering Agroprom Underground from the Great Swamps entrance

[fading plinth]

i play hard/hard cuz i enjoy the level of difficulty it brings, i only really dislike red forest because sin are so tanky

[limber osprey]

oh yeah btw i noticed that controller spawns again in agroprom underground, when i last played gamma on 0.9.0 it still had a zombie spawning there. i was nicely suprised to see an old friend which at that point i was so overgeared i onetapped him in no time lo

[real crypt]

Even hard hard is not really that difficult

[fading plinth]

yeah no its a piece of cake

all hard hard does is extend the time you take on a playthrough

[real crypt]

Not even

I dunno

[limber osprey]

after expieriencing misery yeah gamma is piss easy compared to that. it can be fun, just slow and boring for me

[real crypt]

GAMMA is more of a knowledge check than a skill check type of experience

[limber osprey]

and this yep.

[fading plinth]

i mean it just makes the grind more costly in terms of cash, so youre doing more tasks overall

the difficulty is still zero

[real crypt]

Misery is just a simulation of how it feels like living in Venezuela

[limber osprey]

lmfao. yeah with the "balance" of how much everything costs that sums it up pretty well.

[real crypt]

There is only one truly difficult STALKER experience

The dreaded OP 2.2

[limber osprey]

lol

man its so funny how i finally have a mid-high end pc and own stalker 2 and yet i go back to gamma because id rather let em cook with S2 for a long ass while more.

and older games in general. new releases are often so meh.

[real crypt]

STALKER 2 just sort of disappointed me tbh

Modern gaming in general disappoints me

[limber osprey]

i hate that you often cannot see the enemies for shit, they are so difficult to spot its not even funny. at least i did get it for free from my friend as he gifted me the pre-order ultimate version (he had it already on steam, succesfully got the physical ultimate edition, promised me the key if he got the physical collector) so yeah.

[real crypt]

My problem nowadays is that I feel too miserable to start new games

I need to replay RDR2 or Far Cry 5

Not for the story or gameplay mind you

But I gotta unlock fishing

[limber osprey]

the only games i REALLY enjoyed in last ~5 years of new releases would be Dead Space Remake, Resident Evil 4 Remake (And currently im going to be playing Requiem), Ultrakill, and thats almost all lmfao.

[real crypt]

Imma break your heart

[gentle grove]

time to play basspros 64

[real crypt]

Village easily clears Requiem

[limber osprey]

oh man i completed Far Cry 5 as i bought the bundle on humblebundle with Farcry 5 and i think i also had primal or whatever the other one was.

[real crypt]

Primal is an outstanding game

[limber osprey]

tbh never played village, i need to finally do that, though so far im in love with requirem.

[real crypt]

Primal is the caveman game

In case you are mistaking it

[limber osprey]

i mean no shit lmfao. also yeah not primal, what the fuck was the other one with almost everything being a jungle. i forgot.

new dawn right

[fading plinth]

dsh

[real crypt]

Uhhhh

[fading plinth]

dsh mod

[real crypt]

Jungle jungle jungle

[fading plinth]

nlc7 gameplay + op2.2

[real crypt]

MF all of them are jungles

[limber osprey]

had that with Farcry 5. i did complete 1/2/3/3 Blood Dragon/5 so yeah. havent gotten around to new dawn or others yet.

[gentle grove]

why does this keeps happening

[limber osprey]

classic

[real crypt]

People shit on New Dawn and 5 and all that

[limber osprey]

not as dense as new dawn imo lmao.

[real crypt]

I found them to be fun games

[fading plinth]

he doesnt want to hit his fingers

5 yeah new dawn was just okay

[real crypt]

You see Ivan

[limber osprey]

5 was amazing imo, though the DLC free weapons are wayyy too cheaty overpowered.

[real crypt]

Did you play 4

[limber osprey]

nope. i should lol

[real crypt]

Okay so

[limber osprey]

i might buy it when its on sale or something and when im not dirt broke

[real crypt]

You know how shotguns launch enemies maybe like

Half a meter in all of the games yeah?

[limber osprey]

yep?

[gentle grove]

If yew hold gun up like this, they shoot at muzzle flash and shoot over head! like flashlight trick where you hold it way out to the side so they shoot at the light instead of holding it in front of you

[real crypt]

In Far Cry 4 you got an Elephant Gun in .500 Nitro that at a minimum will launch a body 3 meters

[limber osprey]

ay .500 nitro express! good ol safari rifle.

[real crypt]

And a Buzzsaw MG42 that does as much damage as a DMR while shooting at like 1200 RPM

That you can get like 25 minutes into a new playthrough after the prologue

[limber osprey]

it kinda makes sense? even the modern MG3 (which is the same thing, slightly slower) it still shoots .308 lmao

[real crypt]

Yeah but brother

[limber osprey]

so it makes sense to have DMG on pair with a DMR

[real crypt]

If you think balance is an issue in 5

Man you will get your mind blown by 4

[limber osprey]

eh tbh as long as the game is fun lmao, doesnt matter.

[real crypt]

It is a singleplayer game

Like who gives a shit

But the developers kind of just stopped caring at that point

[limber osprey]

sometimes you can have fun just having an OP weapon and just leaving death everywhere you walk

[real crypt]

Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon are the last progression based games

FC4 and Primal embraced open endedness

You can get everything in the store realistically before you even go North

[limber osprey]

nice. anyway im wondering what to play later, im just chilling here chatting in random spots at 3:46am wondering if i should play anything or just chill

[real crypt]

I got a couple of days off because HR is forcing me to take some

[limber osprey]

oh right i should install GTA 5 Enchanced as i wonder how it looks/plays on my new rig, i completed it base and i did get it for free from epic when it dropped (i now claimed ~400 games on epic lmfao)

[limber osprey]

working too hard?

[real crypt]

Nah not really

Just being present and working from home

[limber osprey]

aight

[real crypt]

Honestly

[limber osprey]

https://steamcommunity.com/id/Majorowsky/games/?tab=all anyway from all these games in my library, anything you think i should either restart/maybe start playing?

[real crypt]

Install Primal dude

[limber osprey]

dont own it lol

could find it if i bothered

[real crypt]

Anything released by New Blood is cool

Blood, DUSK

Amid Evil

[limber osprey]

100%. im playing ultrakill on brutal diff, i had to cheese cerberus as man its just annoying lol

[real crypt]

I have like 3GB of DOOM wads and the such

Which you are like

Does not sound like a lot aye

It is DOOM Wads bro 3GB is a library lmfao

[limber osprey]

haha man i havent played DOOM in ages, i remember speedrunning E1M1 as a kid, i think i got 10s as my best time in the past

[real crypt]

People hate on it but Brutal DOOM is unironically some of the most brainless fun you can have

[limber osprey]

3GB is enough to download multiple full rom collections for entire systems like C64 etc. i know that its a fuckload lmfao

[real crypt]

No like

3GB is legit a couple hundred full campaigns I collected over the years

[limber osprey]

i know, the wads are tiny in size. same like old games, the files are tiny af.

[gentle grove]

the fallout games are a good option, as is metro. might wanna hide monster girl island.
Couple of good open world games to replay in there

[real crypt]

DOOM modders are one of the few places left in this world where people care about optimization

Mainly because optimizing gives you some of the coolest set pieces in the engine

[limber osprey]

dont care about monster girl island, i have a review "yes i play nsfw games on my main, so what" lmfao. fallout games man i played TTW and playing F4 with a wabbajack modpack, metro tbh never had the motivation to get back into it as i already have stalker to play.

[real crypt]

God I fucking hate Wabbajack

[limber osprey]

its better than messing with vortex, man that shit sometimes never works, at least wabbajack is clean and easily automated.

[real crypt]

Yeah but WHYYYYYY

Do you need to set up an auto clicker to click download on Nexus downloads

Nexus allows the tool to use it's API to start downloads by itself

[limber osprey]

i got premium so

its fully automated and fast

~300gb modpacks install in less than 3-4 hours

[real crypt]

I am starting to slowly mod FO4

[limber osprey]

no need for autoclicker so yeah. i did use scripts in the past when i did not have premium to automate it and it took ~20h total since limited to 3mb/s lmfao

[real crypt]

My main problem is just having the motivation to play

I just rot in bed in my free time

Lol

[limber osprey]

tbh i just do whatever, i often do cursed stuff on my pc, like running unsupported drivers or messing around with AI stuff (im gonna try and create my own neuro-sama style thing). recently i got ROCm 7.2 working on W10 without any issues even though its completely unsupported lol

[real crypt]

I work with 3D printers

[limber osprey]

man i need to finally start collecting money for one, probs would go with one of the budget ones. the amount of shit i would print is ungodly lmfao

[real crypt]

Honestly I am just tired af rn because every one of my Raspberry Pis seem to be broken rn

[real crypt]

Like 250 USD

That's the cost of a good printer

[limber osprey]

yeah im just wondering which one would i go for, i know in the past ender 3's were aight, but i last checked 3dprinters years ago. never got around to doing anything with em.

[real crypt]

Stay away from Creality

See like

If you are starting out you really don't give a fuck about most things

Later on if you use the printers a lot you will gravitate towards self sourcing and building from scratch

Which is very easy mind you

But to start?

https://eu.elegoo.com/en-es/collections/elegoo-centauri-series/products/centauri-carbon

Get this on a sale

It goes down to 200 USD sometimes but just like grab it whenever and you'll be aight

[limber osprey]

will keep this one in mind, let me check its price in poland

[real crypt]

You can buy printers used to

Just might need to learn some stuff along the way

It really isn't that bad

[limber osprey]

tbh yeah the main thing to watch for would be the heads and to see if calibration aint fucked

[atomic pebble]

Prosectors Project already kis i guess

[limber osprey]

damn 309€ and already on sale on the website from 437€? that is still a decent bit but tbh might be worth it

[real crypt]

I deadass converted all of my printers to use generic V6 Volcano nozzles and like 3 dollar hotends

[real crypt]

309 is the regular price. The sale is a blanket sale

Just Chinese company things

It sometimes goes down to 250 or 200

[limber osprey]

ah classic then. will keep that in mind.

[real crypt]

Ye just message me or something if you ever wanna buy a printer

You can buy an Ender 3 but like

Modern ones are weird and buying a printer is a minefield

Mainly because these companies cannot comprehend keeping it simple

Like how a lot of these printers use inductive probes

Or strain gauges

And if you ever used those in any context you know their general accuracy

[limber osprey]

anyway i forgot that one rom archive is shutting down today... RIP

[fading plinth]

rip

[real crypt]

Which one

[limber osprey]

Myrient

[fading plinth]

itll be replaced in a month anyway but rip

[limber osprey]

r/savemyrient, entire 385TB archive is already checksummed and downloaded, community is building torrents to make it easier to share/cheaper since you can spread it across community. im myself right now downloading ~500GB worth of stuff to seed and preserve.

[fading plinth]

hell yeah

[limber osprey]

just gotta wait for the big boys to download lol. and then just leave em to be seeding

[fading plinth]

no way is every gba game 13 gigs

i thought itd be smaller tbh

[limber osprey]

oh they are pretty big. 32MB on average

i mean up to 32mb

[fading plinth]

yeah id know i was making a little pack to put on my new trimui, i still didnt think theyd add up that much tho lol

[limber osprey]

so yeah they can be pretty sizeable. multipley by hundreds it grows fast

[atomic pebble]

Generators jumpscare

[limber osprey]

i was looking at the DS/DSI collection and i realised there is so many bangers i need to finally play lmfao

[fading plinth]

yeah tons, i recommend strange journey, great rpg

[unique shuttle]

Does anyone know whats in the new update thing today?

[blissful ivy]

what you on about

[unique shuttle]

The launcher made up update the moddb stuff today, wasnt sure if something got added

[gentle grove]

https://tenor.com/view/yikes-gif-16309561599189406891

[blissful ivy]

probably not

idk

i dont update gamma

waste of time

ruins custom modlist too

[gentle grove]

Is there a list of what suits sid will give you in trade for ones you find?

[blissful ivy]

probably

usually its the same suit iirc

or the equivalent

but it can be something else

(the loner version of most outfits are usually worse btw)

just kill mercs

they have the best outfits short of ISG

mostly

[topaz bane]

There is. Its one of of the commands, but dont ask me wich tough

[unique shuttle]

also for the freedom quest where you blow up the BTRs, can you do that with a thermite grenade? I didn't know there were 4 BTRs so I only brought 2 IEDs

update: you can

[gentle grove]

you can drive them, so just use one to blow up the other 3 and then blow it uo

[unique shuttle]

too late I am sillymaxxing

if freedom can't have them nobody can!

[gentle grove]

you could have had one though! you can legit drive them!

[limber osprey]

or hope you find a working traktor and just use that lmfao

the ukrainian special. just yoink the BTR

[twin timber]

Is there a way to repair the ballistic plates?

Are the mi-24 hind enemies considered military enemies and do i lose goodwill if i shoot them down?

[near estuary]

if you upgrade them to the next level, they become 100%

other than that, no

[twin timber]

So what i'm hearing is, my shitass t4 plate is unrecoverable, i see...

[near estuary]

tf did you do with it

[twin timber]

Got shot at

[near estuary]

huh

then you have some custom mod for that

[twin timber]

Yeah

maybe? idk, gonna have to look later

[near estuary]

well, no belt attachments/artefacts can degrade in default gamma
besides perkifacts and the knot

[sick yoke]

outfit parts overhaul or whatever it's called does that pretty sure

[hasty tulip]

Is isg still a random encounter

I liked the Chinese isg thing

[scenic trench]

the what?

[clever terrace]

somehow survived CQC against a monolith master and like 4 other monolith soldiers with nothing but a constantly jamming sniper rifle

talking of that

anyone knows why my guns keep jamming despite having the parts on like 80+ %

[hasty tulip]

There used to be a random encounter with a group or Chinese isg

[scenic trench]

🎲

[clever terrace]

[radiant sage]

What's the jam chance, should show it on the gun

[clever terrace]

Like 1%

[radiant sage]

Also iirc (don't know if it's still so) suppressors also affect jam chance

[clever terrace]

bullshit if true

[radiant sage]

Apparently there's an optional mod to revert that change

[clever terrace]

time to turn off the brain schoorhreracc

nvm game crashed

[sick yoke]

it is on the gun pretty sure

[clever terrace]

are you 420x594 mm by chance?

[clever terrace]

finally turned it off....,.

too bad my buddies died at the entrance

[coarse raft]

its days like today, where a minor patch has taken a game i play down for hours, where i am grateful that gamma is offline lmao

thanks, another q, is it accuracy of handling that makes the crosshair be steadier?\

[inland spade]

Any fix for scopes being wholly grey instead of actually working.

Like the glass is grey

Cant aim proper

[clever terrace]

iirc accuracy reduces bullet spread and handling reduces ADS sway

is there no mod to craft expert tool?

Just find them...

However long that may take

[blissful ivy]

Chinese?

What

UNISG is still a thing, but in gamma they seem to be more western

[marsh bridge]

no more military entrance to agroprom underground

[pliant kestrel]

i quit my save of 6 months cuz i couldnt find expert tools

i rly need to comeback for 0.9.5

[hasty goblet]

Unisig is UN, and China is member of UN

There is

Its pretty resource heavy

But that balances it out instead of finding one.

The thrill is much better if you happen to find one tho.

[muted ferry]

Hey how do I kill this thing? I am playing stalker oblivion lost remake 2.5

it’s a sort of tentacle thing that opens up and Insta kills me basically

[rare rampart]

been save scumming lost signal for a brn-180 with green barrel, is there smth i missed in 0.9.4 patch notes or am i just that unlucky?

[devout hill]

just play oblivion remastered its good

what hell is oblivion lost remake anyway, some spinn off from lost alpha or smth?

[inland spade]

Monolith isg and mercs

[mild wing]

#📎to-do message no more tension while visiting the eggheads as a merc

I kinda liked it

Wonder if he meant the entire map or just the lab

[mild wing]

Pretty sure you can’t do that anymore because of the loot stabiliser addon

[near estuary]

[maiden karma]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/girls-frontline-2-mosin-nagant-companion

okay bro.....

[severe prairie]

Fucking anime blow up doll looking ass stalker.

[valid loom]

[hasty tulip]

Yeah they are more western but super rare chance you'd come across Chinese isg soldiers it was cool and they had good guns with the weird scoped

[severe prairie]

It would be cool as shit though if there were hidden factions in the sense that you won't know who they are until you loot them and find a PDA with info about them.

[blissful ivy]

Yeah no chinese

But the gun thing is true i suppose

[wanton veldt]

i press v to switch sights but nothing happens

[balmy bear]

any tips on how to deal with the military in CS' last dawn quest? for now all I'm doing is gunning and running away over and over, and this is the second time I almost got got, ap is not really available this early

[little light]

go from the cordon side?

[balmy bear]

that's what's I'm doing, i think just got unlucky with the spawns, because those veteran's armors are not getting penetrated by my 7.62

[little light]

or wait for emission and then run in there

[balmy bear]

that's too risky on a 1 life ironman

[little light]

hmm fair fair

[balmy bear]

i think the best course is to just get a better gun

I have an ADAR i can fix

[little light]

good luck i suppose

[balmy bear]

im gonna need that, CS start is no joke

[little light]

i think my cs run got pretty lucky cause most of them had easy arti fetch quests

and they be paying the most too

(also wasnt ironman )

[balmy bear]

I'm getting real lucky with quests but army this early is just suicide

i only wanted to tackle it because the reward is a gun smith kit

[little light]

imagine your next yellow is gunsmithing

[balmy bear]

im not that lucky

[little light]

you want mine? i got like 40

[severe prairie]

If you are talking about the military at the machine yard during last dawn, then I either try to pick them off from afar when playing safe or rush in from south side and play along the outside of the building if I'm feeling spicy.

[balmy bear]

[little light]

jk i accidentally deleted that run
fuck that run anyways shit stashes from day 1 til the end

[balmy bear]

the south is usually my strategy too, but with 9x19 AP, at the least, the PPSh is not fast enough to deal with all of them

[severe prairie]

Yeah I remember when I was fresh af in GAMMA and tried to PPsh the military, took me like 50 tries

[balmy bear]

it tickles them man lmao

an adar should do the trick, just need to fix it

btw i was sleeping on renegades man, great loot

when duty and cs become enemies garbage will become much interesting

freedom stand a chance there now

[sick yoke]

Ppsh with fmj is pretty good against stalkers

[reef lagoon]

finally i managed to troubleshoot my crashing issue with WG

[sick yoke]

You’ve basically got a 900rpm 5.45 with lower damage cause of the ap alone

[balmy bear]

yeah, i kinda gorged myself on hp because of the many mutant hunting quests and renegade armor

or lack thereof

so thats largely a logistical mistake on my part

[tall jolt]

@balmy bear the way i got it done was sneak around from the south and get on the roof, then kill the fella in the south eastern corner or the northern part of the building, and then there’s a little crevice you can jump into in the north western corner of the southern building behind a little platform below the window that you can hide in and either risk shooting out of, or wait until they forget about you then rinse and repeat

[balmy bear]

damn, that's an amazing strat

but one mistake and you counting daisies

[tall jolt]

The only issue that can pop up is they might run up onto the platform, so you’ll want to bring a shotgun; ideally slugs. Otherwise the northern building should only ever have the one fella in the corner and the guy on the mg post who will bug out, so if you can kill them both each time, they’ll both get replaced and then it’s as simple as continually stealth killing the first and headshotting the bugged out guys on the mg nest

[tall jolt]

Yeah, if you aren’t quick enough to get into the spot it can definitely fuck you, but the northern building has a door on the northern wall that leads out onto the road, and there should only ever be one guy next to it, so provided you can get your killing done and then rush out of there instead; wrapping around the eastern side of the farmstead and then booking it south as fast as you can, you’ll be able to repeat that over instead and you just have to climb back inside repeatedly

[balmy bear]

thats honestly kinda doable, i know exactly the room's interior and the crevice you're talking about

[little light]

wait the adar can use march f right

[balmy bear]

yup

[little light]

[balmy bear]

which is why i wanna fix it

[little light]

meanwhile my m4...

[tall jolt]

I’d say the second option is more risky, but it’ll be easier to pull off

[little light]

honestly going at night would prob be better

cause they have em flashlights on

[balmy bear]

yeah, it's early game so high risk high reward leans to the latter

[balmy bear]

swamps at night is just

[little light]

its not bad...
theres just the occasional bloodsuckers sometimes

[muted ferry]

No it was the remade version of oblivion lost its a continuation of those other versions the best one being 2.5 since it stays close to the original cut source material with 3.0 doing it’s own thing

[tall jolt]

Yeah, just saw you were doing a one life so i reckon hiding and waiting is easier than hit and run, but it’s up to you

[little light]

maybe thats why i keep dying in one life cause im so reckless...

[balmy bear]

i almost died doing hit and run, it works against renegade rookies, army are pinpoint accurate

[tall jolt]

Exactly, the running away method may be easier, but you expose yourself to a lot more angles of attack doing that

[balmy bear]

was the same, once you get used to the rhythm, its easy to survive, i'm only doing 1 life because i know ill die early and i'm prepping for 0.9.5

[little light]

before im so on edge about everything i do
now idgaf and if i die so be it lmao

[balmy bear]

invictus is no joke, its a big commitment, especially the way i do it, it's surgery not butchery, so i overprep a LOT

[tall jolt]

And in terms of the swamp darkness, you really need to be getting gen 1 nvgs for it. Just breaking down Geiger counters, pda’s, anomaly scanners and the like should get you there soon wnough at the start and then you’ll be able to deal with bandits okay enough provided you’ve been stockpiling gun parts and can secure a good scoped weapon

[little light]

i aint doing invictus
im doing 1 life ironman but not invictus

[balmy bear]

I'm day 1, so unlikely to craft those

[balmy bear]

i know what you mean, the slog that is afterglow and mortal sin is

[muted ferry]

Anyways how tf do I kill these tentacle bastards?

And now my discord is lagging

Wait it isn’t anymore

[tall jolt]

Besides that though, i’m a big fan of the swamps because i was able to get a bit above 50% rad resist quite early on with a load bearing bandit suit, and so i can hang out in the water for as long as i like and the mutants will just run around on the bank for me as i shoot them

[balmy bear]

it's like 2009 all over again

[muted ferry]

The thing that is in the reticle is a tentacle sort of bastard that insta kills you basically

If you don’t know it’s oblivion lost remake 2.5

[balmy bear]

you kite\ them, and then blast them as they run past

[tall jolt]

Melee was the most useful in the old games, but it is a lot more risky in gamma. Otherwise, sound is your absolute best friend. Listen, guess, and fire

[muted ferry]

it’s not gamma it’s oblivion lost remake 2.5

[tall jolt]

Never mind then

[muted ferry]

What the hell is kite? I shoot at them and nothing happens

[tall jolt]

I can’t even see what you’re talking about in the picture

[little light]

is kite a british slang

[tall jolt]

It’s a term from cod zombies meaning run them in circles

[muted ferry]

That green thing in the reticle

[balmy bear]

wait, did OLR have those CS bloodsuckers that were invincible while invisible

i don't remember

[muted ferry]

Oh yeah sorry can’t since it opens up and basically kills you and your armor instantly

[muted ferry]

Idk

[muted ferry]

When you get close to it

[tall jolt]

Thought that was a bush

[muted ferry]

I can see why you would think that

[little light]

is it like a venus flytrap

[balmy bear]

oh wait

thats an anomaly

you cant kill that

[muted ferry]

Wait really?

[balmy bear]

yeah i remember now

[muted ferry]

ooooohhhh okay well fuck

[tall jolt]

Yeah, i’d really reccomend staying away from the military quest until at least a week in when you’ve had a chance to get 100 ish rounds of ap or 20 ish slugs

[muted ferry]

Anyways I also can’t find a modified vintar in that area

but I’ll think I’ll find it eventually

[balmy bear]

that's what I'll do i guess

[tall jolt]

Lol

[tall jolt]

The only other way would be hiding in that corner and purely relying on stealth take downs with your knife, which is far too risky on a one life

[balmy bear]

that's AW? right? I think there was a gun on a mezzanine near the train

[tall jolt]

Possible, but one slip up that makes you a second late to the spot, or a bit of bad luck with search patterns, and you’re fucked

[balmy bear]

I **never **take those kinds of risks otherwise i wound't touch ironman at all

[tall jolt]

Yeah

Interesting you say that despite having asked about doing cs mill quest on day 1

[muted ferry]

Okay so I should look near the train thanks

[balmy bear]

good luck, AW is insane in OLR

[muted ferry]

Oh I was just going to deliver it for a quest

Should I keep it?

[balmy bear]

you can also find one in army warehouses, but sure, not that it changes anything

[atomic pebble]

are anomalies, not mutants

[muted ferry]

Yeah I know but thanks anyways

[muted ferry]

Oh neat

[atomic pebble]

No, aren't like that, but the bloodsuckers are criminally "tanky" and the most "tanky" mutants of the game, soooo CS bloodsuckers are much better

[balmy bear]

the OLR underground dungeon trauma is coming back

protoburers were also a menace

[ashen fox]

Hey, anyone know if there is some submod which would adjust damage level for NPC's, player a like? I like playing on hard difficulty but I think the NPC's/player in some soft shell or simple jacket can tank too many shots especially from 9MM and even buckshots.

[tall jolt]

You’ll likely be able to find it if you have a troll around in the gamma files

Don’t believe there’s a mod for it though, so it’d be a big job if you don’t get lucky

[zinc pike]

Will gamma ever come to steam ?

[muted ferry]

Idk why I literally saw gigantic rats in the beginner village in OLR

[quasi lance]

gotta thank Juan

his Hecate II mod has to be one

of the best hacate mods ever

in all games I've playe

with the exception of the sounds

[muted ferry]

Why the fuck is there gigantic rats in OLR????

[tall jolt]

Yeah, just add it yourself!

In all seriousness though no, it’s a modpack for a two decade old game

[sick yoke]

don't steam games have to be like

actual games

[hasty goblet]

Since it has GSC support for gog, it's not impossible

[sick yoke]

like to be listed on the store at least

[hasty goblet]

Enderal is on steam. It's a total conversion for Skyrim. Available for Skyrim owners to download thru steam.

[sick yoke]

🤔 never heard of it so no clue

oh neat

never seen that tag before

[tall jolt]

It’s not impossible, but you’d need steam to sign off on it which is unlikely considering how much support you can end up needing for gamma, you need grok to want to and i don’t think he does (don’t quote me on that), and it’s a right hassle

[frank oxide]

Amowawy on Steam when?!?!??!!?!??

also that's tomorrow

[hasty goblet]

Due to how the gamma install works, you wouldn't even benefit much at all from steams decent download speeds.

So there's not that much point in wanting it from steam anyway.

[frank oxide]

note how i just wrote Anomaly and not gamma

[real crypt]

Oflin has anyone reported broken secondary aim (like pressing V with a laser) with high magnification scopes lately>?

[frank oxide]

uhhhhhhh no i think..

ubgl's get a lot of reports for not working

[real crypt]

I refreshed my install with updates and all of my scopes are acting goofy

Strange

I'll fix this later

Oh UBGL is also broken lmfao

[gaunt shuttle]

dose the lost signal body spawning depend on the which entrance you go through?

[frank oxide]

yes

[real crypt]

In most cases yeah

It has a couple of set spawn points I think too

[frank oxide]

it picks smart terrains anywhere from 100 to 300m away from the player's entry point to the map

you have maps available here: #╟🔰☢newbies-chat message

should cover majority of the common spots

[gaunt shuttle]

so its just a radom roll as to where, got a job from some freedomer to find a lost squad but i don't want to get the spawn inside the fire anomaly under the bridge

sorry in whild territory

[frank oxide]

if you enter from garbage/yantar its most likely to be somewhere north or next to rostok entry

if you enter from rostok then it'll be either northwest or fire anomaly

[gaunt shuttle]

thats what im hopeing on

hope rngjesus is kind to me

[frank oxide]

i don't remember what happens when you teleport via fast travel, but i'd guess either fire anomaly or rostok entry

[gaunt shuttle]

was in the west :3

*north west

damm got a 63% sphere helm but cant repair it

also one of the bodys was in a anomaly rip

[muted ferry]

Hey so how do I kill someone without being detected/being seen as an enemy by friendly ai?

So any tips?

I really need some help to finish this quest

[haughty heath]

what's that "random agromprom underground entrance" thing in development?

[ripe lagoon]

only two entrances will be available, selected randomly each game

[near estuary]

how many are there again? 4?

[ripe lagoon]

6

[near estuary]

huh

[ripe lagoon]

cs cave is not in the random pool though

[near estuary]

there's one in the military base, one right next to it, the cs entrance and the soc entrance

where are the other two

[ripe lagoon]

next to soc one

[near estuary]

that hole actually works like an entrance?

cool

and the last one is?

damn, the stair one is functional too

I always just defaulted to the SoC one tbh

[severe prairie]

There are like 5 entrances to agropom underground which is sick I only take the stairs though. Fuck going through the burner tunnel, the bandit trap, the military vent oh wait make it 6 entrances. Literally all on the map too.

Can't outrun the bullets

[topaz bane]

classic zone humor help a stalker reach his destination in cordon and get jumped by a pack of dogs

dude dint even help out

[atomic pebble]

too many transitions for a small level between a small level

[cunning patio]

das a valid question on my vid

lmao

[gritty sparrow]

Oii..im playing the story as a sinner.. although i disguise/ finished quests for sakharov.. cant seem to trigger the get psy-helmet dialogue...anything im missing here ?

[cunning patio]

u dont need psy helmet man

[glossy drift]

It is for snorks for sure

[cunning patio]

youre sin

[glossy drift]

it is in the lore iirc

[cunning patio]

tbh yes snorks might be gray area cannibalism

i never thought of that

lmao

what a question

[glossy drift]

I'd argue that Chimeras are far enough for consumption

[frank oxide]

its honestly an overlooked detail of "you're sin/monolith so labs are disabled, but entering Yantar factory still kills you"

[gritty sparrow]

I need it to get some documents from x16 lab

[glossy drift]

tho the suckers i'd also argue that it is cannibalism

[frank oxide]

which i brought up to Grok and he will add the psy helm to sin/mono starting loadouts

[cunning patio]

the mutants are basically lab grown

but theyndid use human subjects

[frank oxide]

you can always try killing Semenov/Sakharov or Kruglov for the helmet or just use debug

[glossy drift]

not all mutants tho

[cunning patio]

ye not all

[glossy drift]

pseudodogs and others are animals

but yea

[cunning patio]

the dogs no , cats no , lurkers arent cannon

[glossy drift]

a lot of human experiments

[gritty sparrow]

I want a legit play no debug..i tried killing sakharov but he is immortal

[glossy drift]

Flesh and boars neither

iirc you can craft the helmet now

it's at the bottom of furnitures

or the other furniture tab that's called something else

[cunning patio]

poltergeist u cant even cook

[gritty sparrow]

Neways thanks for the feedbacks...ill just imbed the helm into the story through secret stashes or smthing...

[cunning patio]

they dont drop shit

[glossy drift]

true

[cunning patio]

tushkano is fine

[glossy drift]

yea they're just rats

[cunning patio]

idk the chimera and bloodsuckers are far from human

if you really wanna stretch it maybe

[glossy drift]

bloodsucker are closer tho

[cunning patio]

the chimera no absolutely not

[glossy drift]

Chimeras are a mix as the name suggests

[cunning patio]

bloodsucker maybe

[glossy drift]

so far enough

[cunning patio]

in lore i think we only encounter grown up suckers

we dont see any like early stage ones

[glossy drift]

yea don't think so

[cunning patio]

props to that dude for the question on my vid

actually original

ok bye

[gaunt shuttle]

fichting chimeras as a regular stalker is still nerve racking xD

[cunning patio]

its ez

A and D + M1

super mario has harder mechanics

[cunning patio]

DAS WHAT IM SAYIN

[glossy drift]

yea it's a nice sticker

there's a couple good ones that I use on a regular basis

[gaunt shuttle]

bonus points if you can play ring around a rosie with an object

or more if in the open

[cunning patio]

i usually chase it with a knife

more fub

fun*

[stuck zephyr]

where did bro go

[cunning patio]

normal

it happens

[gaunt shuttle]

did you fast travel??

[stuck zephyr]

havent even rescued the dude yet

[gaunt shuttle]

dude is being taken to the funny bunker

O _ o

[glossy drift]

you can try the "Teleport companions" mod if it's not already enabled

it should tp the search and rescue guy to you

[stuck zephyr]

yeah, but I haven't even talked to him yet

[glossy drift]

doesn't matter

[stuck zephyr]

I went to sort out something in garbage, looked up north and the fucker just moved to limbo

he isnt in my party yet

so teleport companion wont do shit

[glossy drift]

happens all the time in Veno's stream where he accidently tps the guy without talking to him

it should

did you try it or are you just talking out of your ass ?

Unless Veno has a different mod

it should work

[stuck zephyr]

I have one companion, when i press the teleport companion button it doesnt do anything, makes no sense to begin with, why would teleport companion work on a rescue target that is in a zone I havent entered and is not in my party

[glossy drift]

No clue, it happened in another guys playthrough way too often

I guess he must have a different TP companions mod

[stuck zephyr]

if you can tp rescue targets before you even interacted with them for the first time sounds borderline like cheating lol

[glossy drift]

yea

it does, but that's how that mod works soo

[raw mist]

Where would be a good place to drop the knowledge that Dynamic Viewmodel (An Upcoming mod in 0.9.5) has a bug with manual weapon tilt (It's own dependency funnily enough)?

[stuck zephyr]

probably just make a post in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1092834455300866068

[raw mist]

Alrighty thank you for that mate. I threw a comment in support but figured it'd get washed out by people who actually need help.

[marble river]

so it happened again, this time with hip, companion inv unlocker doesnt work and she had this

[gaunt shuttle]

takes a job to clear out bandits in cordon, every bandit and renegade goes full clocker mode on me

[proud scroll]

Saves you time on locating them

[tall jolt]

Real stalker just wait for them to all die to an emission and take the credit

[clever terrace]

nooo my buddy died....

[blissful ivy]

skill issue

just use control skeleton on him, its like he never died

[clever terrace]

whats this about btw

[frank oxide]

artefact within the 15m radius

[clever terrace]

ooooo

thats nice

[wild hatch]

Thought u killed her

[haughty stone]

"appeal to broader audiences" ahh mod

🥀

[frank oxide]

yes but also was meant as aid for increased random field spawns of artefacts

You’re also not always forced to run around with your detector and can wield a two hand weapon

[haughty stone]

lame

where's all that "difficulty" and "immersion"

[mental furnace]

turn it off then

[haughty stone]

[wild hatch]

Tbf they do this and keep limited-bolt on.
Making arbitrary nuisance for shit and giggle

[blissful ivy]

shut up retard

its better this way

dont have to walk around with a detector out like a dumbass

[haughty stone]

Bruh.
Does "random field spawns of artifacts" mean that they can spawn literally anywhere, outside of anomalies?

[frank oxide]

yep they have a chance of doing so, dynamic anomalies are also more likely to spawn artefacts compared to static fields

Emissions ofc don’t really spawn artefacts as its all pretty much bound to your activity in a map

[haughty stone]

Great

[topaz bane]

Now that i have a gunsmith kit, i am planning on using the weapons equipped + the two circled, are any of the others worth over any of my chosen ones?

[haughty stone]

Imo Saiga clears the Protecta (or what's it called), SVD is good, UMP is good against mutants if you use Hydroshock.

Other SMGs in 9x19 are good for using up that ammo

[topaz bane]

for 9x19 i just fixed that green smg pistol thing

[haughty stone]

Yep

[blissful ivy]

the SVD is getting fixed next patch at least

damned thing has been fucked forever

60rpm is dumb as shit

my opinion is to abandon all shotguns and go straight to the UMP and the F90

those 2 are great

[bold stump]

is there any way to "hold breath" or midigate weapon sway

[blissful ivy]

and once you get a good scope on the F90, those 2 guns can carry your ass all game

[blissful ivy]

nope

literally just get good sadly

its been my complaint too

[bold stump]

ok, thanks tho!

[blissful ivy]

just make sure your arms arent broken

and uhh, yeah thats all i got

the rest is literally just make sure not to miss

some scopes do just suck ass

[bold stump]

oh, fuck didnt even check that

[blissful ivy]

the thermal AK scope is great... besides how shit the reticle is

covers their whole damned head

makes long range shots so much harder, but i suppose you usually 2 shot to the body

[topaz bane]

i found shottys good against mutants. and didnt found muc sucess with the ump actually :p no idea what the F90

[haughty stone]

Shotguns can carry you to the end too

[blissful ivy]

.45 HS rounds blow buckshot out of the water

by a long shot

and if you upgrade the UMP fire rate and its recoil, you get a mutant killing laser

shotguns are great, until you have to reload

worlds longest reload besides mag feds

but then you get like 6 shots

or 8

25 HS rounds will beat a shotgun usually

[haughty stone]

Raptr

[blissful ivy]

(and did i mention how much LIGHTER IT IS)

[blissful ivy]

KS-12 is better but sure

at least pick the best shotgun

to argue

UMP isnt even the best .45

if you wanna play that game, vector

that thing really will out dps anything else hands down

[wild hatch]

Use Hydrashok rounds on the UMP.
DPS king against mutants no doubt, but some prefer the single-shot damage of shotguns.

[blissful ivy]

theres a c in there somewhere

[wild hatch]

cUMP?

[topaz bane]

i think thats my camp, i preffer a single high damage shot than various, especially with how bad my aim tends to be and some mutants being very jumpy

[blissful ivy]

hydrashoCk

[haughty stone]

Don't be a dick bru

[wild hatch]

NO

[wild hatch]

https://klipy.com/gifs/tongue-swing

[topaz bane]

What is usually a better upgrade? flatness or recoil?

[haughty stone]

Recoil

[topaz bane]

also, i renember reading that the rupture resistence was useless?

[wild hatch]

isn't it for mutant and bleeding?

I always prioritise that and ballistic

[tall jolt]

I can’t believe i just died because i saw an npc, ran up to see if he had a quest as he was playing a stretching legs animation, and then got mowed down because he was a zombie

Ffs

[agile epoch]

God damned cocksucker bloodsucker motherfuckers. WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE LEGS??

Positively infuriating

[tall jolt]

They like toes

[agile epoch]

Thats Freedom propaganda

[wild hatch]

gotta show them the right leg to suck

[tall jolt]

[blissful ivy]

says hydrashock in game, dont care

[wild hatch]

really? Unplayable

[blissful ivy]

unplayable? i think youll find im playing it just fine

NOICE! Just found a chimera hunter on one of the quests soldiers!

[valid loom]

Welp time use my remaining ammo effectively by making more 7.62×39

[topaz bane]

is the m4a1 good?

[blissful ivy]

it shoots and it can take a ubgl, its ok

(F90 is better)

[tall jolt]

You might be thinking of resilience or whatever the durability upgrade is

It’s armalite, you should only ever use it if you like “freedom”

[topaz bane]

its the one upgrade that its in the same slot as +6 stamina recovery

[twin timber]

You mean wound healing?

[topaz bane]

no

[twin timber]

Rupture is your defense against melee attacks

It's what's stopping the snork from removing 90% of your health with one hit

[topaz bane]

then its rupture yeah

is there nowhere that explain what all these stats are?

[twin timber]

Yeah

Wait you want armor stats or gun stats

[topaz bane]

armor

[twin timber]

Can't you just hover your mouse over the stat and it'll tell you what it does

I think it's pretty straightforward

Rupture = melee attacks, usually from mutants

Ballistic = guess

Impact = defense against falling from high places or when a poltergeist throws shit at you, also reduces damage from grav anomalies and burer telekinesis blast

Explosion = guess again

the other 4 are defenses for anomalies

Electric, fire, chemical and psy

[topaz bane]

Yeah, if was rupture

[last ginkgo]

what does readiation do?

uhhhhhh

[topaz bane]

I remember someone mentioning that rupture or impact res wasnt working

[last ginkgo]

yeah ive heard that i dont know if it was fixed or not

[twin timber]

Protects you from twitter users

[twin timber]

No idea who said that but it is working

[last ginkgo]

most useful

[twin timber]

This person might just be thinking the mutants aren't supposed to deal that much damage

But yeah they do

A fuckin' snork will remove your entire health with one slap if you have zero resistance

[sick yoke]

It works currently

[twin timber]

And since they're so damn fast you won't be able to escape

A2

You still live?

[lethal steeple]

this has always been a creepypasta because monsters deal a lot of damage, so do gravitational anomalies

most monsters also can attack you near the end of a lunge and then attack you as soon as they land

[topaz bane]

I do think mutants shouldn't shouldn't slow you down when you get hit, so you dont get "stun locked"

[lethal steeple]

pseudodogs and cats do this a lot

which leads to people thinking they're taking double damage from them

leading to the "rupture doesn't work" creepypasta

[sick yoke]

Yeah

[twin timber]

Fucking hate this

Goddamn pseudodogs spam attacks really damn quickly

[topaz bane]

Right, i think its just the same problem that i Dark Souls dogs have that they have a animation "problem" that they charge, deal damage with the charge, and then attack you with minimal delay

[topaz bane]

Yeah. Its REALLY annoying. Especially if you get attacked by 3

[twin timber]

If you don't see one you're good as dead if it gets to you

3 attacks per second fuck you

[sick yoke]

Gamma is actually cyberpunk 2027 because all these mutants must have fucking monomolecular blades to hit for half hp through nosorogs

[twin timber]

Either the actor needs more health or these goddamn mutants need a nerf

Like, fuck, man, one cat still takes 50% of my leg health in one attack even with heavy armor

[severe prairie]

Just don't get hit

[topaz bane]

easier said than done when they dont make a fucking sound

[twin timber]

Some mutants still make noises but you gotta pay close attention

Dogs bark in the distance, cats still do their cries, lurkers do the weird nosalis thing from metro

Chimeras play dubstep drums when they run

[severe prairie]

I wonder if there is a mod that will remove sounds from karliks and controllers Also the sound when they see you

[valid loom]

The louder footsteps mod helps a lot with this

[twin timber]

I have one that removes all screen effects already

No piss screen, no poltergeist gatorade

I'm going in blind like a true stalker

[severe prairie]

Oh shit, is that on moddb? What's the name?

[twin timber]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1472153486375522420

this one

[severe prairie]

Damn, it removes every grain. Good shit though.

[blissful ivy]

nah that was removed from gamma, its on anomaly tho
