Yeah but for a couple/few years there, it was just you soloing the camps in Great Swamp because they were so bad at it.. 
I mean
why? its easily above 7.62x51 in performance
ap
You've played Dark Souls right
not even close tbh
If you think about it
i have but thats different
dark souls is way harder
Where do you save
Ngl, not having to care about swamps cos i run duty and am now enemies with cs is an upside
And where do you save with the YACS enabled
F5 F9ing Consort Radahn's meteor attack brb
i go there rarely because a guy i took a quest on wandered there
otherwise i dont go
I love my Eco guy so I can bring Clear Sky guys to anywhere now
You farmin' that Gavrilenko aura, huh? 
Ball knowledge
I used to feel like a trip down was mandatory because you got pretty easy good nato scope access
i use wp guns anyway
But now i just gotta scrounge
i like a g3 or a g36
duty runs are going to be pretty interesting, csky are fucking everywhere tbh
or an mp5
but otherwise its wp guns
usp when i find one
dont really care what ak aswell
they all shoot well
you probably won't be able to buy anything other than nato holos until Skadovsk lol
Clear Sky is super chill
You really gotta have eyes in the back of your head
It sucks them and Duty don't get along
besides being agents of ccon sure
Best guns are the ones you can repair... I was stuck with a fuckin starter Stechkin for FIVE in-game days.
If you guys recruit an ambassador though, you can go wherever
allegedly
That's why starting with the actual pistols sucks
Any accusations of being Monolith sleeper agents are unsubstantiated
I saw a MK23 in the starter gear so the choice for a faction to run this time was pretty easy
Starting with a kiparis or skorpion at least means you can ez swap parts into some other 9mm smg
At least it wasn't a Makarov.. 
I used the 1911, it wasn't too bad
I would've rathered a mosin tbh though
I mean you can do it
Because cool
im split, either i go for the ots kit or switch to a rifle
Pistol ammo sucks but at least it's cheap
if you take a mosin for a starter gun you're gonna have to get really familiar with that knife you started with lol
Yup
day 1 yeah
im flat broke
especially because i spend a lot on having proper meds
I mean i start duty so i have like 30k after my initial trip into wt from rostok
Lol
day 1 MVP is the signet
i like this one a lot
I feel like if you want a mosin, though, you can just wait a week or two in-game?
Signet's great
shame it isnt green
...a week?
You mean like
Day 2
i found a forester mk before day 1 was over
so like hour 20
mosins arent hard to find either
I did an army run before
I almost fully repaired an svds before i gotbasics lol
Dropped with green barrel
im legit tempted to just give the 7.92 its proper ap values in files myself
and increase its price
idk
it sucks that its so weak it doesent make sense
And make the mk2 ctier
is it not good enough for the south? I feel like the only thing it'll struggle with is exo/exolight stalkers
remember bolt actions get +5AP
barely any worse pen on the AP than 5.45 AP
It does make sense, the point of it is to be a justifiably cheap and accessible large rifle round that actually appears relatively commonly to help with other large rifle rounds sustainability
if you wanna be fair about it, 7.92 is stronger than 7.62x54 ap
It is absolutely good enough for the south
make ap a rarity
Look at this mans JAWLINE
its an ancient round
Like yes, it's not true to life at all
Digging the new stalker spawns/patrols... Wish they'd do that more with the mutants.
it doesent have to be realistic
i prefer gameplay over realism
37 pen feels like a joke to me still
disregarding realism
Pretty sure 37 pen is enough to get through basically every helmet short of a exohelm
I feel like you might be overestimating NPC helmet armor
doesent get through most heavy helmets

im putting a 6000 rouble bounty on this mans head
ap on it was a waste to use
any takes
bro what did he do to you
well....
Didn't have a boat
Bro hates Freedom
They're so chill
So... yellow stashes no longer guarentee tools?
They shoot me from behind all the time
opened 2 yellows and no tools
Afaik there's currently a bug with that
I don't think they ever did
I assume it's a bug, I've seen it happen in Garbage specifically
Thry do
they used to
They were guareteed to?
I've gotten tools in every yellow stash sofar
Theyhave for a while
awesome. guess no progression til bug is fixed?
Could've fooled me in the past lmao
Mulyiple versions
His friend needed a guide and brought him a long. I guide him and his friend. but there is actually a BOUNTY for the guy guided so i killed him. he walked away non-aggro'd. but he got back to base he can't stand seeing me. i don't blame him. but business is business
I've only had it fail to generate a toolbox twice in probably ~20 yellows
I think it's rare enough that twice in a row is pretty exceptionally unlucky
I mean like
in any case, you can trade 20 charges of red vodka to spirit in yantar for Basic Tools
2 shots
I've got one more to check so ill report back once i check it
Huh
You can also trader a TOZ and ammo in Cordon
That opens up a questline I've never actually completed
Btw, I still think that Boatswain guy doesn't deserve a bounty
I bet he's actually super chill
Yeah, ive yet to find a toz-194
the guy won't let me shop at the damn Army warehouses and if i kill him Err'one gets aggro'd. so i need someone else to arrange his.. disappearance
I mean
Listen
You shot his friend
Did you reflect on your actions at least
im gonna find a way to kill him
Put a landmine in his pocket
OR
Get some duty armor
Disguise
from a yantar stash funnily
Wait to follow him from a distance somewhere
And then plant it
Yeah but our way is funnier
does it have to be full restored still
get companions to do it for you?
Depends how close you gotta get to any freedom
It would be cool if you could ACTUALLY put bounties on Stalkers
To have other people do your dirty work for you
weak disguise they will see you
Stay at sniping distance and it can be the most destroyed armor ever
I still stand by the landmine
he said he wanted to shop though
so hes gonna have to
No so
if anyone sees your disguise even if its friendly they will uncover you
ah
thats solid plan
optimally with a supressor from a distance
actually not sure if that makes a difference, the supressor
Suppressor doesn't matter
figures
The disguising is to prevent getting saddled by individual goodwill caused aggression
i understood that part yeah
its a solid plan
there is towers inside freedom base
if you can get up one thats not manned
It's what i do when a friendly has a gun i want 
real
got myself an awsm before that way
being treatcherous has never backfired on me 
took an embargo quest from military to kill a loner for an eye
if i start call of the north quest for living legend, if i dont do it will gatekeeper die and i fail living legend
cause i might have accidentally started that quest
It has for me cos i was dumb and proceeded to walk infront of an emplaced mg
lore accurate duty move
Which are not fooled by your silly disguise cheesing
its not cheesing really
intented gameplay mechanic!
after trying multiple options on veers site, i figured that 7.92 is even weaker than i thought
most helmets i tried took 2 shots
like, 70%
i know certain armour types are more common to spawn
but its still dumb
a lot of them 3
uhhh
is the Merc SEVA suit better or the regular SEVA suit
There's a merc one in this stash but I cant carry both
armoured merc seva is strong
but since armour rework idk if regular merc seva is better or not
looking through it, the 5M Helmet and Skat-9 Helmet profiles seem to be outliers, everything else below exolight dies to 1 headshot
85 damage on those other two is also close enough to a kill that there will be pretty decent odds the target will drop to the ground in the dying state waiting for help
The side by side
3 of 3 yellow stashes no tools. Starting a new run now because i guess its just bugged for me. Yay for updates!
Especially since i spent hours grinding to get expert tools and now non of my northern stashes spawn them 🙂
578
yeah every yellow stash in the north I've been to has had tools of some variety in them, definitely not intentional
I love this guy, he's educating me while we travel
God i hate the alife+ yapping
Just seems absurdly unfair as they are the only way to progress. Not like i can craft them.
Tbh i just don't like alife+
I mean it's not like this is intentional
something was broken with the site for me
I like the new dynamics of encounters in each area, but the extra dialogue gets stale fast
I do kinda wish talking to Stalkers, they had more to say
Like even if it was some more lines or maybe they could give you better info idk
Oh no i understand, im not blaming anyone but my damn files at this point.
just refreshed it and now it says 1
yeah. silver lining, the new BRC system will probably let you finish the run just fine
Alife+ screws with online stuff too much
Interacting with Stalkers makes me feel more immersed within the world
Yeah idk all the technical stuff
What have you noticed? Still on last version and was using it @ that point
Feels different though
BRC?
how do you get to brain scorcher or wish granter without the ecologist helmet they sell you as uniseg?
You get shit like sniper position enemies rushing you from super far away cos they aggro'd you based on their larger spotting distance from being in a "sniper" position and then alife+ decides it's time for them to move
i feel like 0.9.2 was my favorite iteration. feels like its just gotten easier and easier since then
you can reach close to the damage resistance cap with advanced tools at the moment
peak gamma start
spawn in Rookie and begin tasking
grab hip and Wolfs Quest
okay cool normal start
notices a Clear Sky walk into Rookie with a Toz190
licks lips
waits till he is in a house all alone, backstab
Free Toz and Basics less than 15min into the start :3
Oh, that's good to know. I just really wanted to fix my FN FAL and run 7.62x51
yeah that kinda sucks
maybe the game will be nice and drop one with a good barrel for you
Yeah lol if i find two SA58's ill probably go buy a lottery ticket right after
Yeah fair bit of that actually. CNPP can get a bit silly
4 guys will suddenly go "LETS MOVE OUT" and they tip toe up on you quieter than the tooth fairy and zap you while you're already stuck behind whatever barrel or rock you've hunkered down at
idk, those monolithians sure do use them quite often...
how do you get to brain scorcher or wish granter without the ecologist helmet they sell you but playing as uniseg?
everyone hates me ive been trying to get a different outfit but that seems to be the only way
I've seen I think 4 of them so far, with 159 monolith kills
This stash has a UNISG SEVA now
is there any other way?
I haven't played through ISG in quite a while, but the scientist in the bunker in yantar drops the helmet if you kill him
chance
i thought you had to use the Disguise system to talk to him. ISG uses that system more than most factions
Disguises
I've done a UNISG playthrough, and disguises are your friend
You're basically Agent 47
Kill a guy, steal his skin and become him
Just remember to switch back to your UNISG outfit before you go talk to your guys
so long as you don't hold anything in your hands, disguises work decently
Yes
Unisg is intended to disguise heavily
You really have to kinda blend in with the Stalker population
That's the idea
To do your government stuff
the disguises have to be full repaired and as long as you arent guns out sprinting and bunny hopping you are mostly 100% ok
I always found it weird that you have to repair your armor to perfect 100% condition before you go to shops in disguise lol
they see scrapes and cuts on your 92% SEVA and immediately out you as a spy
ISG suits are almost always better
Well I gotta scrap one of these
just check the full stats on both and pick the one you like
Either Loner SEVA or UNISG SEVA
idk how much has changed since hte armor rework. but ISG suits were fucking mental almost always
UNI is way better, keep both one for a disguise and use the ISG for normal around the map
i havent played enough to really explore suits in depth
the ISG SEVA will give you increased survivability against mid ranking non-monolith+ stalkers (FMJ, basically), the normal SEVA will give you an extra belt slot
thank you chimera and dog pack for killing this ally and giving me free loot
God that Exo is so heavy I bet lmao
70kg
Holy balls
it's handled in footstep script now
so if using some footstep sound mod you should reenable exo sounds addon
Go recruit some guy to carry your stuff
the Military/ISG Exolights are something special tbh
1 belt slot
i LOVE the Merc ExoLight
3 carry weight delta
ISG one gets to 3 at least, but yeah the military one is 2 max

I threw an advanced armor plate and a mutant pelt into it and ran scorcher with no regrets
Haha fair
honestly a lot of the heavy sevas feel REALLY heavy compared to last patch
you get barely any capacity if you run them
at least with the exolights you can carry a little bit
Skat-9's are probably the only ones that feel normal lol
honestly kinda sometimes wish we had like almost StalCraft level of build variety
after putting 800 hours into that and learning the Arti system, holy fuck... but im also glad it doesnt bc wow rng
Does depend on the faction variant as well but yes
Lmao this Eco found a P90
That was a very stressful monolith defense
I knew it was coming from the announcements beforehand, but I still had to double take the first time I saw a sin armor show up with this unupgraded
man got an upgrade from his K98
Did get some goodies out of it though
It's not if you're shooting mutants
or people in leather jackets
Buckshot is awesome if you're willing to point blank though
I wish Stalkers wandered more
Idk
like walking through swamps and truck cemetary reminds me I never see them in some areas
the cannabis joint as a reward for the horrors
buckshot is a tool for those the zone favors
Buckshot, the ultimate enemy of mutants
buckshot is the ultimate enemy of my mental
Will you one shot this bloodsucker that's rushing you? Nobody knows!
unless you use slugs
slugs drops them
dont ask me how i did this but i just did the gatekeeper barrier fight with only a .357 grizzly win mag pistol
holy FUCK it took me like 5 tries
.357 the goat
did you get the funny situation where you shoot one in the head
and he goes "OW MY HEAD" for long enough for you to do it again
yes
Same with me just laying mines and then friendly fire forced the "Last save"
Beating a sin member over the head, with half the guns in the game basically
There's still 2 mines at barrier that nobody's stepped on and I'm still waiting for the revenge squad after I see that obituary pop up 
just find them yourself!
take one for the team, the NPCs don't have a healthgate, you'll live
Not game enough to disarm, there are always some absolute goobers just hanging out at one of the campfires
Gonna wait for a barrier defence and just let fate deal the hand
why does that exosuit weigh 42kg lol
they're just like that now ig
check out the -7kgs carry weight delta on this merc seva
so
the exosuit by itself apparently weighs about as much as the average combat load for a US soldier
yeah that makes sense 
iirc the military leather suit is like 18kg or smth
whatever it was called
like the basic ass light suit???
LMAO
idk if 18kg exactly but around there
yup
this some tarkov bullshit weights
p sure you lose weight by wearing it
0.9.5 is a heavy ass game now
like, you gain less carry weight than it gives
mm yes this piece of armor with no plates is 10kg 
you pick up an armor and you're limping home
imagine if grok fixes that stash exploit
if you move all itll ignore the weight limit
the almighty blue metal storage box:

the 1000kg guide maneuver always works
it's simple as can be, just use the emergency release to create a stash at your feet when you get to your destination
I can only imagine that poor guide having to trek you through the fucking red forest on a wheelbarrow
not only is this a mid nosorog it also gives a whole +1 kg carry weight now LOL
ive moved a base worth 2000kg before
using a guide
might have a screenshot somewhere
what's the fucking point anymore lmao
wind of freedom weight 7 or so kg wtf
its 25kg in 9.5
this sucks
typical cod timing following me around, hold angle expecting mono in defend gate mission for 30s no mono show, turn around to change position now magically they show up and shoot me from behind
Will disabling loot stabilizer let me reload mutant loot or will turning it off mess anything up gameplay wise
not to mention the helmet
Weighs 16kg, gives 10kg
oh right as soon as you start upgrading the armors you're just going to be losing carry weight now
and that too
💀
which is 18kg
-5 at base
HOW IS THAT 26 KG
not including upgrades
im also not including upgrades
These dudes have balanced armor with no concept for how much people can get around wearing stuff that heavy
That's genuinely heavier than full plate metal
when i update im immediately reducing those 
make a mod for it honestly
I've not noticed a problematic lack of carry weight, with the single large exception of carrying out an armor you want, adding 30-50kgs to your back basically mandates an epinephrine lol
50kg?????
or another counter is to just add more end game backpacks
At least Exosuits with power actually make up for their weight
theres only 1 for expert, and before it was fine
since armour gave a lot of carry weight
these weights genuinely feel like grok kept reading that carry weight wasn't an issue in endgame and decided to triple the weight for every armor lmao
now its countered by the armour itself
hows the redline jacket
pft
i havent found one and i cba to boot it with debug
super fucking rare armor btw pretty sure
maybe he thought people need to use more drugs for it 
or i can do renegade start but wtv
ive found them evenly rare
making carry weight drugs more relevant hm yes 
I assume that specific armor is unintended
you can see the normal distribution with the other merc exolights
woodland at least gives some carry weight
you can trade for woodland iirc
if the barter wasn't changed I think it's the grassland you can check in-game
leather jackets weigh 5kg?
look how they masacered my poor boy
from 130% to 112%
iirc thats heavier
unironically double/triple the weight of an actual leather jacket
and it's not like that weight goes into armor plates or anything
so is this ak74-"pmc" just a slightly better ak74m-"venom"
my poor redline leather jacket
most aks are the same
i used that shit in cnpp some time ago
so probably
the "Armored" bandit leather jacket in fact weighs less than a default leather jacket now
50 extra rpm a few extra m
LMAO
they did weight reduction
or something xd
they replaced the lead weights
its for "balancing" bruh 
can someone check in game actually
at least the military leather jacket you can argue actually has plates and shit in it
cause it's got 21 BR class and 17 br%
but kevlar isnt exactly heavy
can you imagine starting with that thing
1 belt slot, you run slower
-carry weight
i need to read patchnotes and understand the ball system again
probably because it isnt comfterable
i was honestly fine with exosuits being 90 speed
well... the exosuit I'm wearing does happen to be exactly 90 speed...
that makes sense
My homie died, I have lost my connection to the force.
since you literally got servos walking for you
0.9.5 gassss
i guess
oh did they kill that one
that looks pretty dead
likely steel plates
yeah it's armored
well atp shouldn't it be dependant on the PSU you use
wasn't that the one with 48 BRC in 094
i think itll be cool that certain PSUs gives different % speed
what were the freedomers smoking handcraftig the wind of freedom to make it 25kg
also gives more relevant to the other ones
wind full of heavy metals like disaster air from power plant
i just find it funny that merc armors basically got universally shit on because they all either give like, +1 - +5 carry weight at best or lose carry weight at worst
the devs of this mod
it has pc, rcf, syth, cf
its mainly grok adjusting these lol
i dont see why its so heavy
rocks in your pockets
carbon fibre isnt heavy
there are also several heavy tier suits that weigh less than medium suits
you could freely have 2 sunsets,1 wind and a SSP-99 AND an RPG yet still ve under 50 weight
now that's peak trolling
this is the natural evolution of the weight of items
i guess it can use some fine tuning
making the stone flower 5kgs was only the beginning
but overall i like it
What the fuck
i never noticed that
"What is your purpose"
"Literally nothing"
in 2027 we will have 100kg exosuits
i mean if theres more -armor weight upgrades and they dont add as much weight, sure
1kg per bullet
medium armor weighing as much as some heavy armors but providing worse stats than basically every heavy armor
so wind of freedom is a poly/carbon fibre suit
ima just add more backpacks 
both light materials
vote me for grok 2028 and I'll make roubles have weight
how tf is it 25kg
delete this message before they actually take it into ideas
there's actually 3 25kg medium suits
grok smokes more than all of freedom
oh just realized they all lose carry weight too
twilight is just better than wind of freedom
besides carry weight
this is all part of grok's plan to get all gamma players addicted to Sakharov's Epinephrine stock
conspiracy theories in gamma
ouch
since you dont have shit to fill belt slots anyway
I used an Irij I found in a box until I got a heavy repair kit
check armoured seva merc
that was the best medium armour before
like 48 br
and a lot of br res too
high belt slots too
5 iirc
for reference there's several skat9's that weigh 28kg and have better stats than those 30/31 kg mediums
that also give positive carry weight
think about it man it's a good deal, 6250 roubles for 36 irl minutes of infinite stamina and 22kgs carry weight
probably because heavy is considered a tier higher
in terms of how hard to repair it is
it is
it should say in the name "armoured merc seva"
its different
there is regular seva merc and then armoured
is that really the one?
only 2 "mercenary seva" pings if you ctrl f
im booting the game with debug i gotta find out
it's that and the standard merc seva
protoexo weights less than a medium suit
they must be putting pure tungsten in that lc suit
its buffed??
it was the best armour before
now its even better
holy
105 movespeed is crazy
it was 95 before iirc
i know descriptions are just flavor text and all that
but like
lol????
forget carrying heavy weapons
i think i'd be lucky to carry a weapon at all
also like
reminder that to even use any of these ridiculously heavy suits you'd have to have enough carry weight to actually bring them back to your base
I haven't had one drop yet, but I assume the sin exo after 0.9.5 will be the new artefact demon 95% everything setup
oh
yeah this is stronger
the unisg proto exo was the best before because it was the best armour to have 7 belt slots
and belt slots>anything
- you just needed heavy repair kit
yeah sin exo is the best armor in the game (again)
youre right
its been renamed and nerfed to hell
armoured merc seva is no more really
from 48 br to 37 is brutal
I brought up the sin exo immediately when the first announcement showing faction modifiers were made and the response was just "yeah but it's probably rare enough that it's fine"
cant wait for people to post that they found one
(they hit reload on a dead guy 100 times)
enter stage left unisg nosorog 0.9.4
lmao
i dont knooow
damn
cant launch GAMMA anymore
dunno why
skill issue
get addicted it's so easy and then you'll never wanna stop
then you can get addicted to more things
like exobatteries
and the knot
Im not A-Train to not stop
No
well guess i cant play GAMMA now lol
in the whole trilogy gameplay you carry weight
come here into grok's green van and you'll get all the carry weight you want
A thousand PKM ammo weighs 40kg
cant even ask for tech support...
just get yourself a normal backpack and a golden fish then be happy
y'know... that epinephrine gives you 22kgs. That's like. 550 PKM bullets
never used any drug except Hercules, anabiotics and sleeping pills
I forget how much carry weight the knot gives you, I feel like it was 35kgs
eh
significantly less important compared to the 15% damage reduction and increased movespeed
Imagine how much more epinephrine you could buy if you didn't have to sleep
Newbies just got nuked
I think the biggest thing with that sin exo is that, unless it's been changed since 0.9.4, tier 1 exoskeletons aren't restricted by scavenging level
at least the nosorog forced you to get scav 17 before it would drop
Dry stays based as always
what did they do this time
actually i dont wanna know
i pretend that place doesent exit but am very glad it does
Same shit different day lmao
ya gotta sleep
oh I'm green now
I still do not understand how to do an anomalous reading mission
that's the green attack
Like its so inconsistent
Sure but I’m afraid of the dark
Stand in the anomaly, pull out the Anomaly Scanner device (the one that looks like a scan gun) and wait until the bar on it fills
I just use cocaine over and over again for the buff
walk towards the circle until you hear the task blip, stand there with the reader out until it goes to full bars, then it'll clear the screen and the task completes
Si U bever sleep
I don't even...
epic slowmode lol
Most sane newbies-chat contributor
You didn't even see the dude claiming to be a minor lmfao
Or the dude that was looking for minors
Bunch of weirdos
the dark is more afraid of you than you are of it
no amount of context is saving this one
maybe it'll work if i reinstall anomaly
idk
wtf happened
CTD or what's happening?
#╟🔰☢newbies-chat message im going to still play Return To The Zone, waiting to the next update of VESSEL too
That is the context 
dont even get an error message
it just closes whenever i try to launch it
haunted
oh
could well be
Ban him
Erm
10 minute cooldown is crazy
Maybe donating a monolith RPG wasn't the best idea...
Are you launching through the launcher option in MO or through the direct-launch options?
HOLY SHIT
Zona is good ? Toxic wind is that big of an issue?
is not that bad
it was needed for sure lol
to offtopic i go
Sakharov you mind putting that away
Sakharov has had ENOUGH
ive tried the launcher and DX11 AVX
havent tried other options yet
He's just lettting you know what's in store if you fail
I WOULDNT DREAM OF IT SIR
Try the non-AVX version and see if it works
wtf was going on there
Was it working before?
weird people. people making unfunny jokes. people asking the same questions repeatedly.
you know. the usual internet things 🙂
yep
before i restarted my pc
I think the 10 minute cool down is way better and funnier :
ok directly launching it with DX11 got it open
ghosts in the cables
Word
send for a priest
almost done mortal sin. ill finish it tmrw and then... ugh. afterglow
I need to suck it up and actually go do Last Dawn, I'm just still terrified of Pripyat

oh yeah i better get on with that too lol
Everything in GAMMA can be solved with a PKP
alrighty the save loaded
that was a strange series of events
Any other things I could do to prepare would be making T4 artis but I need so many more mutant parts for that and I just cannot find any chimeras to save my life
you'll find chimeras in pripyat and outskirts
Glad switching the launch version helped tho, I had a similar issue a few weeks back that got fixed the same way
ive found so many chimeras its unreal. i have like 40 chimera meat in my fridge no joke
i could proooooooobably go do Last Dawn
Absolutely no idea what in the haunted spaghetti mess of the code caused it nor why the launch option changing fixed it
I am drowning in fracture hands and snork tendons but I cannot for the life of me find controllers or chimeras
zaton for controllers
If you want an actual tip for finding chimeras, check the taskboard for "Apex Mutant" bounties
truck cemetary is your friend or more north
I didn't manage to finish Brain Game until I got to Zaton
and chimera tbh lol
seriously i got jumped by two controllers at the same time
go to outskirts and you can get jumped by 7 of them at once!
controllers are hands down one of the best designed enemies in any game. will never not be scary.
also the barrel bending upwards as you fight it is truly metal as fuck
BRO
STOP POINTING THAT AT ME
they are
he means BUSINESS
did you see the Ruger 5.56 hyperburst buff with 0.9.5?
ruger 5.56 hyperburst?
hyper burst with a 20 round mag?
👀
Yuuuuuuuuup
what gun is this
is there any way to zero weapon sights? they seem to shoot super high relative to where im aiming
been a C class 5.56 rifle for ages
i'm also a fan of hyperburst weapons
(especially the G11)
It chews the fuck outta your ammo but damn it's deadly
monolith, freedom, mercs, isg, they'll all drop it if they hold nato
so much reloading lol
It's the gun you get given in the final Arena fight in Rostok
stalker chat more active than newbie chat 
all it takes is a 10 minute slowmode in the other chat lmao
true
I don't aim center mass enough for me to really mesh with hyperburst weapons
ah.
oh nevermind
its working now
hold your mouse over the head of a sin member and listen to the triple overlayed headshot sound effect
Oh fuck you're so right
Triple glass shatter headshot sound on the mooks with the full face mask
aaaaaaand nope
ok so theres some weirdness with my inventory now
i can only sometimes drag items
Have you tried restarting your pc again?
I discovered that (unlike many other descriptions in gamma) the SR556 actually had a fire rate increase on the burst fire back in like 2023
and I've been addicted ever since
not yet
It unironically has to be one of the most insane sounding guns in the game unsuppressed
are the Compass and HotO any good
Compass has insane ballistic res, you just need something to counteract the health degen and bleed exacerbation
the HP/time line and Carry Weight line both got it
Oooooo
same with some mutant pelts and, unexpectedly, the Armor Plates you can craft
who could have known that one
Maybe I'll actually use something that isn't just Compass/Full Empty/Empty lmao

apparently it stacks multiplicatively with normal BR% as well if you have enough BRC to stop the bullet
I have never wanted to play a new gamma update more than I do now when I can't
i remember that time i looked at a G11 addon but it was just a 5.56 AN-94 reskin 😭
Goated drug runner stash man holy
If I understood that conversation from a couple hours ago correctly, that means this setup with an advanced tools armor plate and a 50% giant pelt has equivalent performance to ~87% BR Resist if a bullet nonpens
you just need the BRC flat to make it work
Do enemies actually use different bullets now or are you still only ever going to get a nonpen hit if your BRC is like 65+
normal stalkers use ammo dependent on rank and I forget the breakpoints per faction, Mono/Sin/ISG all use AP
hm
i could go to pripyat/outskirst rn
but also
its night.
hm.
65BRC would protect you from 7.62x51AP and below
mama didnt raise a quitter
fuck it we ball
keep in mind you can get a lot more BRC than you used to, the armor plates give more, faction modifiers (like military and ISG) give more, etc.
lmao take that bloodsucker
an ISG unpowered heavy armor is 66BRC now, a military tier 1 powered exo is 65
im still on 0.9.4
idk if/when i'll update
the performance improvement over 0.9.4 is enough to make me play the game again so no complaints from me
it still doesn't get 60fps on every map like it used to, but it at least stays over 40 now which means it doesn't dip below freesync and make me motion sick
lmao literally the first time ive set foot in dark valley and im a legend rank
What the fuck I just took one step and died to nothing??
haunted
lore accurate anomalies hell yeah
i dont wanna deal with fighting duty im ngl
then dont 
Only reason to go to Dark Valley is to bee-line Cordon -> Truck Cemetery
they have very little presence outside garbage ime
I shouldn't have given him that damn RPG, now he's always gonna have it this sucks
IT's so hard to take this seriously
He doesn't even have a warhead in it
Dark Valley isn't that bad
Makes an interesting path up north for CS now that they're hostile with Duty, you either have to go Dark Valley or Dead City
Proper gun safety is no laughing matter
holy old man aura
csky playthroughs got more interesting (they're kinda like a variant on loners/mercs now depending on which one you're used to)
duty playthroughs got way different
no access to NATO equipment until the skadovsk and an enemy faction that shows up randomly on every map in the game
Basically a Freedom variant now too
yeah kinda
Oh damn I didn't even consider the fact that Duty has to deal with CS everywhere now
No wonder they never leave their little town 
Dark Valley was really good in SoC, not so much in Clear Sky.
Csky swaps Mercs/Duty with Loners, swaps Loners/Bandits with Mercs
interesting choice
why is there no way to disable headlamp animation 
Loners for more interesting fights in lategame, Mercs for a harder time in the beginning, Csky for a harder middlegame
And now you can pick Duty to get ambushed every time you walk into a scientist bunker without looking both ways
Ooh my next dutyer named Adolf Stalin Mussolini Pot Zedong isn't gonna like that
First I gotta figure out how many of them I've gotten killed in ironman runs lmao
i should probably do something other than a csky playthrough lol
Yo 10minutes slow mode on newbies chat is crazy
Being a Loner and trying to do egghead quests must fucking suck with how often mercs are at their bases lmao
Zombie 
nah you get over it pretty quick, they drop sick guns sometimes
Eh you kill them off enough and they don't show up often anymore
I wish the millitary would follow that suit tbfh
does this interact with things the way that yanov station does
where people just don't even bat an eye when you shoot the guy next to them
you get goodwill penalty and everyone agros if you shoot someone in neutral zone
okay so it's not fucked up like yanov is
ahhhh thats why i was having inventory issues
my mouse just double clicks sometimes
I just realized why did caliber conversion got removed cuz it basically makes sks-an svd
for those unaware, the residents of Yanov Station in Jupiter are immune to explosive damage and have zero reaction to being killed
Dark Valley had more locations on CS, but still empty, the best Dark Valley that i played is the True Stalker one
That mod isn't in the main build is it?
Bullets also bounce off the floor for... some reason
took him forever to add sprint-cancels-toggles
yanov is just one big anomaly
wait he still hasnt added that
Ricochets are a thing in multiple places
you can kill with em
very funny
When are they gonna add that penetration mod
Pause
Really? I havent seen ricochets anywhere else
Whenever grok can figure out the loverslab dl hooks I guess
I do enjoy the gamble of whether or not that wire fence is bulletproof

I’m first
Delete
nah he got you on the server side bro

export won
yep
The answer is yes whenever I'm trying to shoot through it, and no whenever I'm trying to take cover behind it
hit the bricks pal you're done
it's rigged and we all know it but they won
i got all the witnesses
Central time spotted
caught in 4k
I think the funniest one is that bedframe against a railing in the second story of the house in limansk that overlooks the bridge from south to north
theres sin out there
somewhere...
the whuh
would be nice if the fucking video loaded huh
it did for me
Have you tried sniping with the GL yet
it's hilarious
0 ball knowledge
anyway yea ricochets are funny
Isn't there a weird bulletproof shrub in limansk too?
@wild hatch have you actually tried playing with that penetration mod
Nah, I’m quitting Gamma for a while til 095 is stable
Playing Radiophobia rn
lmaoooo
Why is limansk so fucked
Limansk is so good
Best combat zone
bro does everybody else get the light of a thousand suns when loading a save in limansk
Always been a problem even in Anomaly
There's like nothing there either, barely anything sends you there and its basically just some nice urbanish sightlines for fighting fifteen monolith at once
fair i suppose
1 quadrillion monolith squads
Something to do with CS script
i still have 094 so im playing that til im bored
I’m already sold
then maybe ill consider update
nearly lit that guy tf up
that's the flare
The hospital of death and despair or the unfinished building of death and despair
the last time I went through limansk I had to kill 68 monolithians to get a yellow stash
skadovsk also has it iirc
i need a good Limansk on ma life
limansk last stand was pure terror for me
New Project Limansk, Terra Incognita Limansk, Stalker 2 Limansk, smth about Limansk
Must have been a slow day for them if it was only 68 
i had to use pkm to survive
3d ballistics shenanigans
i found the sin
if i had to guess
I wish GAMMA has a quest that let you shoot up Limansk like in CS, all the way from the red Forest bridge to the hospital
no 3d balls was off in that clip
hm
The mortal sin, even
Marsh should get big modded versions
so how does one even do the mortal sin/afterglow questlines
i thought ricochets was off in gamma
its the zone
shit gets wacky
might be from artigrok balls
I shit you not I encountered 65 mono from barrier to radar to scorcher and back, and going to that construction yard in limansk there were 68 of them (and 1 bandit)
Aw man even with the sliders bottomed out I can't put a campfire in my house
Fucking lame
scorcher is very neutered in gamma
getting 65 of em is very lucky
I remember a couple years ago when you'd rack up like 100+ on scorcher run
i aint built for jupiter
