there is 2 fuckin' screws holding the clutch cable

and that is normal

but they put in the most inconvenient place possible

behind the transmission. besides the car's wall

and it is blocked by the axle arm and the bandeja

random ctd after hanging out in army warehouses for a while, gonna have to do so much shit again

[rose musk]

Might have to not take any companions now I swear they run at things halfway across the map now

[covert arch]

How much goodwill do you need with an enemy faction before you can be undisguised near them

[rose musk]

[wary hemlock]

Like 1500 or something.

[covert arch]

ok damn

hahaha

im at 600 w freedom as duty and it already took so long

whats the max goodwill?

[wary hemlock]

Having a high natural relationship with your allies also stops them from shooting you when disguised as their enemy btw.

[wary hemlock]

3000, you only need 2000 for max shop access though.

[topaz atlas]

Hello! How remove all pins and marks from paw addon?

tell me pls

[covert arch]

right click one by one and suffer

[topaz atlas]

dont work for pin

[covert arch]

it should

what happens when you right click on one?

[topaz atlas]

nothing

[covert arch]

odd, works for me

where is the pin ur trying to remove?

[topaz atlas]

mb it is some else i have yellow pins

[covert arch]

if its inside of an anomaly ring or area ring it might not click it

[covert arch]

the pins can be diff color it doesnt matter i think

yeah i think u cant do it cuz its ontop of the bed thing

try disabling "iimportant object" at the otp of ur map hud

and try again, to make sure ur actually clicking the pin and not the bed

[topaz atlas]

tnx bro ❤️

[covert arch]

all good

[topaz atlas]

u a genius

[covert arch]

its also annoying when ur trying to fast travel and stuff

so disabling any filters is the way to go if the hud is bugging

have fun mate

[quick tangle]

talk about luck when I dont need it.
My FIRST killed master npc had exo recipe on him, on current run.

[covert arch]

[stable panther]

Is there a good source of Sin lore? I know they're loosely based off Dark stalkers, and the OG concept documents, which I imagine are also a good repository?

[dark spire]

Those who play with mags, are they supposed to be that cheap, did you tweak mag price when selling or is default selling price fair for balance? Cause it's kinda weird seeing 308 mags sell for 79 rubles

[magic tangle]

I have a issue with the quick action wheel, I cant open it when crouching. My crouching is bound to control, cause I am not a lunatic who keeps it on C.
I assume its cause the mod has that modifier option where I can choose to have the hotkey be a combi key, like Ctrl+F, or something, but it seems to then also forbid from using it when its not selected.

Can I set it up in a way where:
I can keep my crouch on Ctrl
but open the quickactiowheel while crouched
without having to have the hotkey itself be with the ctrl key as I may also wanna use it while running

[lavish delta]

i wish there was a torrent for gamma client aswell

[pliant spire]

When do traders restock ?

[cloud haven]

every 24 ingame hours (99.9% sure)

[mint copper]

48h

[crimson island]

soooo, how does weapon maintenance work now?

[inner heron]

Stuff like ramrods is used to craft now, and guns don't have their own percentage anymore. You just use weapon cleaning kits to keep parts above 60%

[azure stirrup]

does gamma have a anton chigurs shotgun?

aight how do i enable mags in 0.95?

Is Sidorovich a Liar?

He said there were only two guards but i found 5-7

[tall jolt]

You’re only realising this now?

[warm narwhal]

He would never lie

[pliant spire]

You sure there weren't 6-7?

[clever canyon]

[gloomy light]

KVMA HD Models

[twin timber]

Hmm

I wonder if there's a way to disable that fuckass music gamma uses on the main menu

[gloomy light]

make sure to hit blue mercs when installing

[twin timber]

It's crunching my audio absurdly

And also making my ears bleed

[pliant spire]

Turn down music volume

[gritty wasp]

hes a lying rat

base games should have made that obvious

[midnight coyote]

what's the part quality hip wants for her TOZ 194, is 60%+ on everything enough or does it need to be 100%?

[clever canyon]

IIRC you can give it to her in any condition

[midnight coyote]

nice

[lethal patrol]

imagine hip calling you a cheap pos for giving her a crappy toz

[clever canyon]

Uh

Ok

[livid hazel]

Different strokes for different folks

[gritty wasp]

ive still yet to get that toz for her quest

[lethal patrol]

ah, its that time again

[midnight coyote]

it literally took me 45 minutes to actually get this stash the first time it popped up xD

[gritty wasp]

what

[wild ivy]

hmm should i install re:done again or no...

[lethal patrol]

[wild ivy]

o monolit

[gritty wasp]

freedom base boutta get wiped out

[livid hazel]

Is that a modern UI mod? I haven't been able to get 0.9.5 working yet

[wary hemlock]

The first time I played SoC I didn't even realize there was an option to not wipe out Freedom.

I talked to the Duty guys and they asked if I could help blow up a wall and decided sure.

[gritty wasp]

"just smile and wave"

[gloomy light]

think

[wild ivy]

disguise got blown

[lethal patrol]

all that for a white stash

[midnight coyote]

"Uhh did you hear?"
"Huh?"
"Skadovsk-things are happening at the Skadovsk"
"Ahhh yah well ... it's tuesday, isn't it?"
🤣

[gritty wasp]

2nd time merc ai is just down right lobotomized down to neutral

surprised the outside npcs didnt shoot him

[twin timber]

Would be weird considering she specifically asks you for a shitted up toz

[glossy kettle]

Anyone know what Uzi variants are in the game currently?

[twin timber]

'Bring me a shotgun that has seen "real zone combat"'

[lethal patrol]

i like this pistol

[gritty wasp]

mmmm

colt

🦭

would use it out of early mid game if it had ap rounds

[twin timber]

Ah, the korth

[lethal patrol]

decent loot from wiping fredom base, ignore the pka and pu

[twin timber]

It's a good choice, because it has the highest base damage among all normal pistols (excluding the rsh-12)

[lethal patrol]

was not expecting to get march scope

[twin timber]

68 base damage in comparison to the regular 55 of other .45 pistols

Even .357 ones have only 60 base damage

[lethal patrol]

havent bump into a korth this patch

[twin timber]

Yeah that's the korth

It just changed name due to kmack's

[lethal patrol]

interesting

[velvet jacinth]

That moment when you get lasered so fast your game has a heart attack and crashes...

[wary hemlock]

Yeah, health gating no longer exists.

[midnight coyote]

Time to turn the brainscorcher in a bunch of useless gubbinz to clear the way for getting Expert Tools 😄

[velvet jacinth]

You got this mate, go with zeal!

[midnight coyote]

dont need zeal, got 123 Barrikada Shells 😄

[velvet jacinth]

Well... That would make up for it yes. Lmao

[lethal patrol]

peak voice mod

ooooo, isg kit

[velvet jacinth]

Wait how much ballistic do you have?

[midnight coyote]

quite too little but I don't plan to get hit

I'll camp the corridor after activating and after I gutted the wave, I'll phanto mstar out

[velvet jacinth]

I'm surprised your only going with a Jellyfish is all, figured it would be safer with at least an Empty and Wrenched.

Ahhhh, gotcha.

[twin timber]

Okay, it seems using a tank in cordon is now completely worthless

The accuracy became absolutely shit

And the npcs can always hit you while you're inside of it

[midnight coyote]

yeah havtn done much artifact crafting yet and will take the PS as an emergency exit instead

but as you asked, I'm quite literally going in butt naked xD

[velvet jacinth]

Probably best honestly, less damage you take is always better then high defense.

Yikes, 14% on head... Well, I'm sure you got this!

[midnight coyote]

I'm more concerned about the radar-forest then the scorcher itself

the corridor gives a great killbox

[velvet jacinth]

Yeaaahhhhh.... Radar is kinda mean with its rads I'll say...

[twin timber]

Just smoke a ciggie

Radar's a breeze to go through

[velvet jacinth]

True.

[dusk cave]

70% will be ok for rads

[twin timber]

Unless you have to enter it's red forest part

[dusk cave]

50% is iffy

[twin timber]

Then things will get funky

[midnight coyote]

I just hope I don't get a randomly jumpy pseudogiant, I'll stick to the main road and make use of my forester

[dusk cave]

Last time I had one, bring hp ammo

[velvet jacinth]

Hahaha... Yeah there's most likely there will be a giant every time...

[mint copper]

i always find it crazy how hard the people struggle to install this

[dusk cave]

but ks23 will be enough

[mint copper]

i have not updated gamma for years, downloaded new gamma rc, downloads zip and new launcher and needed like 60 minutes to install of which 40 minutes where downloading 3dss
and everything worked

[velvet jacinth]

It's been 3 years since I joined this server and it blows my mind still to this day...

[mint copper]

yet still people go, bruh i deleted everything and started from scratch 8 times and try to install for a week and still cant

[velvet jacinth]

It's mostly because people don't like to follow instructions... But if it weren't for clear instructions man kind would be doomed since the beginning...

[oblique shadow]

how is hydrashock atm compared to a shotgun?

[midnight coyote]

yeah, most of the time they fuck up the "Dont use braindead folder structures and you're good"-Step of the instruction

[velvet jacinth]

Haven't tried it yet personally since I've only got 2 rounds, but I've noticed shotguns have slightly been underperforming for me...

[mint copper]

but i put it in my onedrive folder on desktop

[velvet jacinth]

"It obviously should be fine, I don't get why it's not working. Stupid Gamma devs!"

[mint copper]

yeah or people that go, why my gamma not start correctly

and then they are missing 200+ mods

idk, what do you think is the issue 😄

[velvet jacinth]

I think the amount of people that don't realize using 7zip ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING is baffling.

[mint copper]

i dont understand why people even have winrar on their pc in 2026

i hope they at least bought a license 😂

[velvet jacinth]

Idk man, it's a mystery.

[oblique shadow]

i just got a frasier and im wondering if i should use it or keep using the ks23

[frigid gyro]

never forget you cannot idiotproof anything ... the universe will develop a better idiot ... just to spite you

[still karma]

question - is anybody else's Outskirt completely infested with pseudodogs? like I run into a full pack maybe every two minutes of walking whenever I am there

[velvet jacinth]

My man is literally preaching the gospel. These words are the trust of all.

[midnight coyote]

uhhhh did they actually make a new playlist for radar?

that's a bloody athmospheric piano piece

[analog palm]

just have both.
i've had multiple instances where 7zip didnt work with certain file types

or straight up refused to work

[midnight coyote]

aaaaaaaaaaaaand pseudogiant right at the start of the road xD

git phucked phucker!

[analog palm]

wish we could eat pseudogiants

80000 calories

[midnight coyote]

hrhr

now I'm wondering if I killed his/her wife or his/her husband xD

[torn spruce]

im noticing some input latency while the framerate is perfect. any graphics settings to remove that?

[frank oxide]

!stutter

[dawn marten]

@torn spruce
Assuming you are on the latest version of GAMMA, try any one of these at a time (in no particular order) to see if it helps with stutters or microfreezes:

1. Bring your modlist back to default (type !default in #🤖bot-commands )
2. If you have a NVIDIA GPU, you can enable Triple Buffering, and set Low Latency Mode to Ultra in NVIDIA control panel
3. Open Anomaly Launcher via MO2 and tick Prefetch sounds
4. If you have a beefy GPU, use Anomaly (DX11) (no avx)
5. Activate the Turn this on if you stutter mod to alleviate stutters while losing some FPS
6. Consider looking at #╰⚡fps-optimisation for a performance boost, if that channel is locked go here to unlock: #⏩start-confirm
7. In game, go to Settings > Modded Exes > Optimization > Lua Garbage Collector and increase this bit by bit until microstutters/freezes stop. Default value is 300, people seem to find that 750-800 is the sweet spot, this will depend on your hardware

[gritty wasp]

albino?

[hollow quarry]

Well thats a first

[gritty wasp]

not bad for attachment/silencers i dont use/need

[drifting trench]

does anybody know, what I needed to do again with KVMA, when the Anomaly textures pop up? I know there a way to reverse that, but I forgot how to

luuuul I was already wondering why I get so little pushback while making my way along the radar road

a Pseudogiant and a Chimera decided to void the monolith' life-allowance xD

only thing I killed was the chimera

but that makes it 3(!) pseudogiants in radar

[tacit patrol]

Sounds about right

an UBGL is a godsend there

okay so does MASG work with 9.5 or not? when i enable it (with MAS and Pizzas) my game crashes on startup. is it a me problem, or does it currently just not work?

[tacit patrol]

A fucking pseudogiant is guarding a stash

Yeah I'll come for it later...

[midnight coyote]

the 2 others i had to take care of were sufficiently cleared by my KS23

[gritty wasp]

uh

did you always get 20k+ from a psudogiant eye task

[rain crow]

I got 13500 from a guy for a hand yesterday

Maybe your guy just didn't cheap out

[gritty wasp]

yeah no i got 13k for the hand

but the eye barkeep at rostok paid me 23k

[rain crow]

Damn man, dont complain

He's usually a cheap asshole

[gritty wasp]

im not im just surprised

money money

[grave pier]

you're playing RENEGADE?

Is there a reason why beyond wanting to feel something

[tacit patrol]

It's fun

No I'm not losing it

I genuinely recommend it

It's like monolith but better

Because monolith have the same task quality as fucking Ecologists

[grave pier]

but you dont even get to roleplay as a militant squad

[crimson island]

TFW a Whirligig spawns in the stairway to your hideout/stash

just a bunch of outcasts

that's rejected by society for like. having foot fetish or something

[midnight coyote]

damn the ledgegrab mod REALLY makes the game a cakewalk, I just entered the brainscorcher with only having to kill 5 Monolith' on the way up cause I could just skip the whole base

no, the thing is, i have 66 armor piercing bullets.

i need 60.

..for some reason it says i dont have enough.

[tacit patrol]

Come back when you have 60

[twin timber]

Fr

[twin timber]

It's some fuckass glitch with the crafting achievements

that actually worked lol

i took 6 out and it was fine

https://klipy.com/gifs/baki-crying--k01KRM3D8DZDG3DGG5B5H3Y4J6D

[floral crow]

I was just about to do BS last update but since I'm restarting is it worth just turning off story missions so I don't have to do them? I didn't really enjoy doing the miracle machine and I feel like bs is gonna be similar. Or is turning it of gonna ruin the fun. is it even possible?

[gleaming dew]

I like keeping story mode on makes the game feel like it has some direction

[heavy delta]

artefacts still respawn after emissions right? it said I slept through one so I went out to check the anomalies but not having much luck at all

[floral crow]

my only real experience with the story was mm and a bit of bs and it just felt too main character vibes for me

[snow iris]

is it me or is there significantly more anomalies in the cordon now? either that or the spawn locations are different, not that im complaining im loving this new update so far

[floral crow]

there should be a setting that tells you the chance for artifacts to respawn after an emission

[gleaming dew]

The Isg and Sin storylines were pretty solid from what I remember but that just could be nostalgia talking

[cloud haven]

Just gonna put this here too

[floral crow]

do they work like the other two where it's prepare, go somewhere, kill a bunch of things and turn something off?

I'm not too worried about spoilers

[gritty wasp]

tempted, keep using spas with 8 rounds or max out ks23 with kit for 6 rounds

[gleaming dew]

Pretty much but theres some interesting events like boss fights or getting a guass rifle

[floral crow]

I think I'll just swallow the bitter medicine and do my next playthrough with the story. I'm sure I'll have fun anyway

[gleaming dew]

There isnt really any harm in keeping the story mode on its basically just optional extra content

[gleaming dew]

good hunting stalker

[gritty wasp]

what is bro seeking with it

[wet sun]

W name W pfp have a good day

[floral crow]

The bs and mm stop you from exploring places though

[floral crow]

I just want a cosy game...for men.

practically what gamma is

[spice pilot]

I may be retarded but
how tf do I use the artefact harvester?

[celest lodge]

is noclip / flying a thing to access scuffed stashes?

[gritty wasp]

what

[floral crow]

do scuffed stashes even exist? last time I had one it spawned inside of a person. it didn't actually exist

[wet sun]

iirc there was a command with debug to fly, maybe demo or smthn

[midnight coyote]

looting while entering is NOT a time issue if you make it to the shut-off barely in time as you're still in time 😄

[celest lodge]

right, theres demo_record, but it only moves camera, not character

[floral crow]

think about it. The base building the cooking the crafting. it's like a cosy survival game but like branded for dudes that don't play cosy games

[gleaming dew]

No and im pretty sure you still need to disable them to move north reguardless of the mode

[gritty wasp]

the ending

[floral crow]

really? then what even gets turned off

[wet sun]

Valheim fits too tbh especially if you got a few bros to play with

[rain crow]

"cozy"

[gritty wasp]

the pack of 6 cats coming for him

[rain crow]

Valheim is fun, but the fact it takes real time for stuff to craft drives me insane

[floral crow]

it's the moments between the action you find yourself being comforted by the gameplay

[wet sun]

u can always mod it :D

[floral crow]

what's the difference between story mode and non-story mode

[wet sun]

the non story mode does not have a story

[gleaming dew]

the deadly psi emissions that dont let you travel past radar

[floral crow]

but you still have to turn off the big scary machines?

[floral crow]

Isn't that what the miracle machine quest does? I'm a tad bit confused I never finished it

sorry I meant brain scorcher

[gleaming dew]

huh now im confused

either way just turn off mm and bs before heading up north I think it reduces the mutant population too

[near estuary]

disabling story mode also disables BS and MM

[floral crow]

Here gave me the idea that even in no story mode you can't go north until doing bs

[gleaming dew]

oh

well thats convient then

[floral crow]

that makes sense

[low cedar]

into x16 I go

[midnight coyote]

tehehehe

[low cedar]

man this lab is full of assholes

[low cedar]

fucking burer took my ak shakal and yeeted it off the goddamn rails on the 3rd floor so I fed him a few slugs from the chimera hunter as punishment. Bogos = binted

[twin timber]

How did the burer took your gun

Did you drop it?

[low cedar]

no he somehow just fucking yoinked it

[versed kernel]

They can just do that

[low cedar]

ive seen that in stalker 2 but never gamma

[twin timber]

Me neither

[low cedar]

the one in the lab by the scorcher apparently can

[versed kernel]

Its def happened to me b4

[spice pilot]

that's a feature since at least vanilla Call of Pripyat

[versed kernel]

Nit often tho

[twin timber]

That never happened to me in years i've been playing this modpack

Annoying ass burers usually throw shit at you like a poltergeist or explode you with invisible impact blasts

[low cedar]

never happened to me in gamma before so it caught me off gaurd

[spice pilot]

IIRC the way it works is the burer's attacks deplete your stamina and if your stamina is low enough yeet goes the gun

I remember it happening to me in CoP in the Jupiter factory tunnel thing where Trapper sends you to kill a couple Burers

[versed kernel]

Or they just hit you with a box or the lightning kamehameha of doom and destruction

[spice pilot]

ah yes, electro burers, right up there with electro chimeras

[fervent wedge]

Why uhh... Why did I go to lab Y 16 or whatever in Yantar and turn that on first?

or off rather?

[spice pilot]

so you can go and turn off the brain scorcher to go up north

[fervent wedge]

I mean, it did nothing for me...

Oh.. I thought I could skip it and go brain scorcher

[spice pilot]

you can't

if you skip miracle machine you can't enter the brain scorcher map without brain go gooey

[fervent wedge]

Ohhh...

You mean the actual facility? The map is Radar

I went to Radar pre-shutdown.

[spice pilot]

huh that's weird

yeah I meant Radar

[fervent wedge]

Yeah.

I had the helmet, but hadn't done the lab yet

[spice pilot]

or maybe you have to disable both to go further nort, idfk at that point

[fervent wedge]

Yeah... Alright. Thanks.

They turned monos in to aimbots. That's all I realized in Radar

Full spray an AK going headshots at 75m ... Like wtf in the world.

I think the aim on the Sin guys is rebuilt too

[plain bear]

Any one ever wonder why theres so many fire spots in Pripyat?

[versed kernel]

The firewood industrial complex owns pripyats economy

[wicked kernel]

I had completely forgotten that some guns have a delay after the reload animation finishes before they actually give you your goddamn bullets. Crushed by a pseudogiant because my Saiga had no buckshot from the earlier ammo swap.

[viral roost]

damn can even start with a pistol alongside it now

[low cedar]

I will be removing the kneecaps of any snork I see until morale improves

[fervent wedge]

Do burer's have some bullet immune phase?

Is that what's going on with those fucks?

[low cedar]

if you see them put up both their hands and a little shocky effect when you shoot at them, yes they have a force field up

[crystal haven]

Ehehe, watcher of the stars

[midnight coyote]

done and back in rostok @velvet jacinth had to go quite a bit slower then usual but worked out fine 😄

[gritty wasp]

Injected too much fent

[midnight coyote]

nah, then he would be leaning forward

[crystal haven]

Yuh. mephedrone probably.

[ocean cedar]

@near estuary what would you do?

[gritty wasp]

Prob popped 2 yadulin bottles

[midnight coyote]

that osunds more likely

I'm always getting the feeling that a single pop of yadu is a half step into the afterlife xD

[past rock]

yo my amo check from priler does the animation but i got no text.

[ocean cedar]

the expanded one?

[plain bear]

Who up in the Cordon fucked up on the yaddies

[ocean cedar]

prob him tbh

[plain bear]

also does the nimble spas-12 do anything? I remember it being a scam

[gritty wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/npc-glitched-faded-high-gif-24603389

[midnight coyote]

tehehe, brainscorcher loot even yielded the exo rep recipe 😄

[ocean cedar]

it is bugged, virtually nothing rn

[fervent wedge]

Okay. The whole gun and tool system is different now.

I guess I can just "fix" type C guns with a type C kit

[midnight coyote]

it is? havent notice a change of the base mechanics for ... literally years

[dapper jewel]

depends on if it's not just a cleaning kit

[fervent wedge]

Yeah there's cleaning vs repair

But like.. The gun oils and stuff used to do stuff

Now they're purely for crafting it seems

[midnight coyote]

bruh ... that's half an eternity since THAT change ^^

[fervent wedge]

W/e that was the last time I actually played GAMMA in any serious enough fashion to notice

[midnight coyote]

yeah this change happened but it was quite some time ago, nothing to do with the ast update this week 🙂

[fervent wedge]

I figured.

[midnight coyote]

and yes, you can now use ABCD Cleaning kits to maintain 60%+ parts

[fervent wedge]

I miss having the weapon dudes actually upgrade my guns / kit though

[midnight coyote]

but can also use ABCD Repair Kits to repair parts below 60%

[fervent wedge]

Now you have to craft some sub mod and do all that yourself

I was trying to figure out how to swap a 556 barrel from a gun I wanted to another and the kit was like "I'll just fix it"

[midnight coyote]

usually it's not worth using RepKit-Charges for a sub 60 repair

[dapper jewel]

cannot swap barrels?

i saw some on traders previously but didn't try

[fervent wedge]

You cannot pull the barrel out of a gun? I was confused.

I know they sell them.

[midnight coyote]

not in the way you are used to

[fervent wedge]

Do I need to have the replacement on hand or

[midnight coyote]

you have to completely dismantle the gun via context menu

but in that step the barrel will lose some condition

[fervent wedge]

Oh ...

[midnight coyote]

so if your finding a gun with a 70% barrel

[fervent wedge]

So maintain it to 100 first, then do it if I want that

[midnight coyote]

ake the gun with you

dont dismantle it

or, what you COULD do

if you have a gun with lets say 69% (nice)

you take this home

dismantle another gun with the same barrel but lower condition

[fervent wedge]

Oh

Then swap

[midnight coyote]

and make the swap at home at the workbench

😉

so you scavenge the good barrel

[fervent wedge]

So use some trash barrel to hold the gun together

[midnight coyote]

yep

[fervent wedge]

You can do this to repair certain armor parts too

[midnight coyote]

yep

[fervent wedge]

Put a 10% trash piece in to a 5 part armor

repair armor, pull the old trash piece

[midnight coyote]

especially with rare armor parts, just push the general armor condition above 60%

then use cheap kits to repair overall condition

then reswap the newly pushed parts out

[fervent wedge]

Do the vendors actually sell any of the harder to find parts? Didn't seem like it

[midnight coyote]

yes BUT

technician stock depends on technician lvl

[fervent wedge]

Ohh..

[midnight coyote]

0 1 2 3 4

lvl 0 is normal
lvl 1 is basic toolkit provided
lvl 2 is advanced toolkit provided
etc

[fervent wedge]

I wanted to max out a few of the factions just for parts but

Same for guns or no?

[midnight coyote]

youll never see a tech selling a heavy armor repair kit unless you provided them a full set of tools

in terms of general vendors, that depends on reputation

[stoic lintel]

is dx9 still not working? Cant get enough fps without it

[hushed pier]

eww

what is that recipe

[fallen stone]

guys how do I check out that tutorial or get it tf off my screen

[fervent wedge]

Hold capslock?

[fallen stone]

worked one time, now doesn't i think i alt tabbed or something idk

[river parcel]

saving and loading worked for getting the tooltip to work again for me

[fallen stone]

aight gonna try brb

[river parcel]

also did they make Sin patches sell to Spirit for even more roubles than they did before? lol

iirc it was like ~900 each before and now it's like over 1000

[fervent wedge]

Where do you hunt Sin normally? I don't even know where they have a base

[velvet jacinth]

Nice! Congrats.

[river parcel]

they show up pretty heavily in Red Forest at the mine near Forester's gate checkpoint

they also show up in random spawns with the monolithians in Outskirts

[fervent wedge]

Where do you normally start if you start as Sin?

[river parcel]

I think that Red Forest mine

[fallen stone]

it worked, btw now how do I disable these ugly ass white dots that appear inside every interactable?

[river parcel]

that's where their traders are

[frank oxide]

!dot / disable the addon:

[dawn marten]

@fallen stone To turn on interactive dot UI like in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.® 2: Heart© of Chornobyl™, find and turn on 452- Interaction Dot Marks - Catspaw in MO2

[fervent wedge]

You can turn off the initial new player shit via the MCM dialog for New Player Experience or whatever

I can't figure out why cocaine and weed are quest items.

[river parcel]

same as any other item a task can ask for

ball-peen hammers, bedrolls, stimpacks, whatever's on the list

[fallen stone]

I have this one on 452, fresh install

[fallen stone]

where is that dialog?

[fervent wedge]

Escape, then MCM

[fallen stone]

oh on the mod menu you mean probably im retarded

[frank oxide]

not sorted by priority, 452 in the name

[frank oxide]

!mo2search

[dawn marten]

@fallen stone Use the mod name search bar to find mods in MO2, and use the mod files search bar to find which files are from which mods.⠀

[river parcel]

you should see this if you just search for catspaw

[fallen stone]

already found it thanks a lot man

[fervent wedge]

Wtf. I've never seen that message. SafeSpawn Hostiles have arrived?

[rain crow]

Hmmm, which route do you guys think I should take to mop this all up before heading north?

I'm partial to going through Truck cemetary first

[fervent wedge]

I hate that place. I have so many stashes there I won't touch

[rain crow]

I like the aesthetic of it

[river parcel]

Truck Cemetery -> Rostok -> Garbage -> Buy Ammo From Butcher -> Leave

[rain crow]

Ah but see

I'm going swamps too

[river parcel]

the swamps is a bait

[rain crow]

I MUST DELIVER THESE PACKAGES

[river parcel]

so is darkscape

[rain crow]

You think they're all just traps?

[steady kite]

There is a certain whimsical joy in plowing through X-19 with a KS-23

[rain crow]

Like

30 mercs behind a rock

[steady kite]

I love my anti everything boomstick

[rain crow]

I remember my first playthrough I used that thing, now I'm partial to the saiga

Alright

[river parcel]

I think they're generally not worth the time investment for progression or economy to interact with compared to the other maps

[steady kite]

I just can't get enough of the ragdolling it causes

[floral crow]

finally fixed my install and started. a new run just to die to the damn boar quest. Were so damn back 🥹

I never knew how much I missed this game

[rain crow]

Truck Cemetery -> Dark Valley -> Darkscape -> Cordon -> Swamps -> Agropom - Garbage -> Rostok -> North

It will be a very long journey but luckily

Do wish I had a better detector though

[warped oasis]

Detectorlets btfo forever and ever

[steady kite]

You broke as hell

[river parcel]

If you just like the way the maps look then enjoy at your own experience, but I am just being honest when I tell you that particularly darkscape and great swamps are totally unnecessary

[rain crow]

Yeahhh

I spent it all to craft the epis

[river parcel]

Also don't worry about the detector, artefacts above your tier can't even spawn in the south

[rain crow]

and make ammo

Plus drip

[spice pilot]

where the fuck?

[rain crow]

Need more rope though

[spice pilot]

it's not in the bush, I can't see it in the tree... whut?

[river parcel]

can you send a screenshot of standing exactly on top of the marker

[steady kite]

My X-19 sweeper loadout, I gotta say, I thought like 61 BR and about the same in Ballistic resistance would make me pretty damn tanky with the rework but monolith still shred through armour

[split vapor]

I love getting four drug making kits in a row

[river flame]

did mutants get sped up recently? I don't remember fractures and snorks being so fast

[river parcel]

they're just that fast

[steady kite]

Still the same speed for me

Which yeah is pretty damn fast

[river flame]

i definitely remember fractures being slow as shit

now they're almost as fast as chimeras

[spice pilot]

idk man

[rain crow]

oh yeah man, dont let those guys sneak up on you

[steady kite]

Maybe some other mod or something then you had? I always remember fractures flying across half the zone to get your ass

[river parcel]

if you pull out your detector is there an artefact

[gritty wasp]

if the ai doesnt lag for a second they can b line towards you

[spice pilot]

no, that's not even how that works but I tried anyway

[rain crow]

Walked into Truck Cemetery and got ambushed by 3 midgets

[river parcel]

I've had it tie a stash to an artefact table once I had to be sure you didn't get the same lol

[rain crow]

FOUR MIDGETS

[spark pecan]

i wonder if anyone'll ever try and port stalker 2 factions or maps to anomaly.

[spice pilot]

I scoured the tree with demo_record, nothing

whatever

[rain crow]

They were waiting for me

[steady kite]

What the fuck I just exited x-19 and there were like 5 monolithians in the tunnel just waiting for me

[gritty wasp]

lots of mutant body parts

[fervent wedge]

What's Stalker 2 performance like? I haven't played it in forever.

[spice pilot]

pretty shite, lots of popping even at max details

[fervent wedge]

I'm assuming they did some optimizations since launch

[steady kite]

And one of them just spawned literally behind me and killed me

Okay that's cool

[elfin socket]

Cuz UE5 fucking sucks

[fervent wedge]

UE5 is fine.... It really just requires you understand how to optimize that engine.

It's not some "Works great out of the box" type shit

Lots of games are built on UE5 and work perfectly fine. So...

[spice pilot]

UE5 is not great but the problem it has is it's been marketed as an EZ PZ development platform for fast development and that has cause shit tier employers hiring shit tier devs to work on it -> shit optimization

[fervent wedge]

That's all engines though.

Unity is naturally trash. Same EZ sell to build games. You end up with Tarkov

[spice pilot]

UE5 in particular has been aggressively marketed to that end though

[fervent wedge]

Unity is vasty easier to write code in though. UE5 is actually kind of difficult. More because it lacks documentation.

I've built with both. UE5 and Unity. Unity's documentation is really good. UE5's is gated in forums and feels nonexistent.

[rain crow]

EOD owner here, agreed

[fervent wedge]

Same.. I have EOD.

I've had it forever

[rain crow]

I have proof the mutants are conspiring against my stalker specifically

[fallen stone]

why do WP factions get SIG now instead of 1911 for the .45 gun? I liked the 1911 it had hella aura

bs

[plush zenith]

Anyone know how to stop the "no valid disassembly tool" notification so it consumes my 50 grooming kits again? I cant remember how i did it before

[gloomy light]

They seek out the stank ass

wash your ass

[rain crow]

I think it's in MCM maybe

[rain crow]

My armor is in 100% condition, how much fresher could I get

[plush zenith]

Ya where gang? i checked auto looter and disassembly tool tweaks and it aint there

[plush zenith]

You can turn off the notification in auto looter, but it still wont use the tool

[rain crow]

my proof btw

[fallen stone]

man, so true to the originals

99 dogs: come outside

[rain crow]

I laugh every time it plays

Like

Wtf

Why me

[plain bear]

What suits yall recommend post armor rework (I can fix up to heavy)

[rain crow]

Btw a renegade squad rolled up behind me after

[rain crow]

I liked the SEVA

UNISG or Loner variant

[stark wyvern]

Redline jacket.

[plain bear]

I had the merc seva body armor and it worked but uh it kinda doesnt stand up to getting shot very well

[rain crow]

Anatoly is still alive, I love this man

[fervent wedge]

Is this thing good enough for now?

[river parcel]

the M4A1 protector is phenomenal now

[plain bear]

Probably just keep in mind you will probably jam at a really annoying time

[fervent wedge]

Sure..

[river parcel]

check the reload speed while ADS with that thing

it's a miracle

upgrade kits take it to "doesn't even move" levels of recoil too

[fervent wedge]

Yeah it reloads really fast. I noticed that.

So I should bother to actually upgrade it?

[lilac void]

Massive understatement

[river parcel]

yeah I just cleared the CNPP with it yesterday

took ~500 FMJ

[fallen stone]

is it bad my shit crashed a minute in?

[fervent wedge]

Nice. I'll keep that in mind. I just decided it looked like the best 556 I had so I fixed it

I have a sniper too. The Remington 700 I think

[river parcel]

it could be a D kit weapon and I'd still like it

[fervent wedge]

Magpul Pro

762 NATO slaps. Even standard ball m80

[lilac void]

"Monolith's Bane"

[rain crow]

Highly recommend the upgrade for the binocs for detection

[river parcel]

why have binocs when you could put your knife in the vision slot

taped to forehead

[fervent wedge]

Alright well. Ima shower. Turn in a few quests and do brain scorcher or whatever

Not sure how much ammo I'll need

Mono scare me now. Aimbot af

[river parcel]

usually ~300 fmj in a green caliber, but that's for doing the whole thing with just the one gun

[midnight coyote]

!toolkits

[dawn marten]

@midnight coyote Read this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YJUwO5sAnzh3UFWZJS82oz6_QTkmcnBBJDpFnG_XIro/edit?usp=sharing

[river parcel]

the bolt action will save you a lot of ammo in Radar

[fervent wedge]

Yeah. 1 taps to the head are nice at huge distance

I have ~100 ammo for that bolt action

[river parcel]

if you have an smg for mutant killing, AP you accumulate naturally in that will also save you ammo for your medium caliber

[fervent wedge]

Oh.. I need a mutant gun...

I have some HP but I have a 357 HP pistol

[river parcel]

a .357 mag fed pistol is honestly good enough lol

[fervent wedge]

Yeah that's what I used for the lab in Yantar

[lilac void]

Sawn off fits in knife slot

[fervent wedge]

That place is scary af

That's where the game really shines. In the hyper fucked mutant areas

[river parcel]

I used to run the .357 coonan all the time but now that 0.9.5 added the MK23 that will always be in my pistol slot if I have one

[fervent wedge]

Yeah, I have the coonan

Got lucky on that one.

[river parcel]

they're pretty common all things considered

both NATO and WP factions have it in the table

[fervent wedge]

I dropped like 2 or 3 and had all the parts ready to go.

[river parcel]

even if you didn't, all pistols (except one) are A kits and cost maybe 5-10k in materials to repair once you have basic tools

[fervent wedge]

Ohh... Probably true

I'm so used to just scavenging whatever I can find.

[river parcel]

be on the lookout for useful pistols early game, you can repair them literally instantly from tier 1 technicians by paying extra for the kit itself even if you don't have any tools

[fervent wedge]

Yeah they sell the A tier kits

I started with the PP19 .. Then had an upgrade kit for it

[river parcel]

the Five Seven is a notoriously useful one for just keeping in your pocket in case the random day 1 exoskeleton wearing enemy shows up, but really any of the good pistols out there are viable to do the same thing with

[fervent wedge]

I went from the PP19 to that M4 protector

I was doing okay against harder stuff w/ AP headshots if I needed

FPS gamer. Shrug

[midnight coyote]

the PP19 is a great gun tbh

[fervent wedge]

Before when you could upgrade stuff immediately without all the tools it was fucking great

[river parcel]

smg AP performs fine, you just have to not get caught out switching mags to it lol

[fervent wedge]

Reduce recoil / etc

I usually use all the guns in single fire so

Ammo is expensive and headshots are cheap

[river parcel]

well, some ammo is expensive anyways lol

[silver dune]

i had the food NPC in YANTAR tell me he could sell me things for VODKA but i don’t remember how to see the message in the PDA again. Any help?

[river parcel]

5, 10, 15, and 20 Red Vodka charges

first three get you packs of ammo of your choice, 20 gets you basic tools

[silver dune]

if i wanted to see that message do you remember where in the PDA it’d be? i thought it was under guide

[viral roost]

North part of aw still goes crazy, 5 bodies and 2 art just sitting there

[river parcel]

it'd be in the dialogue tab of the PDA

[viral roost]

[river parcel]

if you want to see it again you'll just have to talk to spirit

[silver dune]

ty

[fallen stone]

What is this name bruh gamma devs wildin

[silver dune]

[wintry jackal]

Insane name

[rain crow]

I met his cousin

[fallen stone]

officer nate higgers ahh

[wintry jackal]

i was about to bring that up LOL

[midnight coyote]

Every day they're Jiggeling

[crisp ibex]

what are mods you automatically disable when you start up gamma, or settings you change?

[wintry jackal]

I usually turn off the campfire saves mod and turn on black market mod

everything else i just add on to the modlist

[low cedar]

Have you guys noticed stalkers randomly sitting in bizarre spots lately?

Is that like an Alife plus thing or what

[crisp ibex]

does black market at least make the guns really expensive?

[crisp ibex]

most likely

[wintry jackal]

Oh yes it does

especially the type D guns

[crisp ibex]

okay cool, I'll try it. seems like a good middle ground

[latent crest]

think this is a bug but when your leg is injured and your tired you guy yawns every single time he sprints

[river parcel]

If you don't want to walk all the way back there:
it's 5 charges for 30/28 bullets of 5.56/5.45/9x39
10 charges for 60/56 bullets of 5.56/5.45/9x39
15 charges for 90 bullets of 7.62x54 PP for the PKM/PKP

[latent crest]

its annoying as shit

[wintry jackal]

pretty sure its intended 💀

Anyone would bitch and whine about their leg hurting

[latent crest]

to yawn with an injured leg

thats intended

[river parcel]

his leg fell asleep c'mon give him a break

[wintry jackal]

true

[river parcel]

I wonder if it would actually play all of the status sound effects at once

sprint on a damaged leg and he grunts, yawns, stomach growls, and smacks his lips all at once

every like half second

[crisp ibex]

holy fuck I'm so sick of the pause/menu music how do I turn that shit off lmao

[wintry jackal]

Go to settings and set music volume to zero

[crisp ibex]

nvm I found it in the MO

[wintry jackal]

ok cool

[crisp ibex]

see but I like the in game ambient music

[river parcel]

the menu music volume is tied to sfx volume after the 0.9.5 update it's really funny

assume it's a bug

[crisp ibex]

but playing gamma for like 3 years the menu music gets old

[sinful osprey]

Between the gamma update and installing fh6 I'm gonna be downloading for the next fiscal year

[river parcel]

I normally play on 0.4/0.2 SFX and Music but since 0.9.5 I've just been playing on 0.2/0.2 to compensate for that bug lol

[crisp ibex]

do they have the most annoying story/announcer characters like they did in 5

[wanton harbor]

Wild starting weapon choices for hard surv

Time to try out the funny revolver shotgun

was gonna do kiparis or some other 9x18 pistol but idk

[wintry jackal]

Dear god

[crisp ibex]

lmao disabling the main menu theme in MO2 does nothing, great

[wanton harbor]

mosin was up there for 800 pts too

[midnight coyote]

bruh, drumgun, weee!

[sinful osprey]

From what I've heard it's been tuned down this time

I'd still put 300 hours at least into it cause it's an incremental improvement on something I've played a ton but I'll take it

[wanton harbor]

Used to be armorless start with 1k+ starting point cost mosin and rushing for supply 1 pu scope

wonder what level trader pu scope is now

I guess now that duty is hostile to cs idc about having early scope access to cheese those big early fights

nvm, regular jacket+pistol. pick the "load bearing" medium too much, shit's too op for starter

[river parcel]

This guy was the messenger for the entire bandit faction I guess holy shit lmao

[sinful osprey]

I almost always did light armor, best mask I could get, smg

[solar chasm]

Tbh not really considering how quickly you can repair a load bearing these days

They're light repair kit now remember

[wanton harbor]

Waitwhat

ahaha

I've been away too long

[solar chasm]

And pop up in stashes around rostok latitudes pretty commonly

[wanton harbor]

I remember it being a medium armor

[river parcel]

yeah, worst case you get basic tools on day 2 from vodka trade if you didn't get one from yellow stashes earlier

[solar chasm]

Yeah it used to be medium

[wanton harbor]

That's insane, did they juice up the mediums then?

[solar chasm]

Which imo made kiparis + load bearing just objectively the best

For duty

[wanton harbor]

Ngl I am super tempted to load bearing+kiparis

[solar chasm]

But now i think kiparis + load bearing and ppsh + jacket are both really good options

[river parcel]

kiparis even has an upgrade kit now

[solar chasm]

And 9x18 got buffed

[river parcel]

yeah 9x18 HP deals 42 now

[solar chasm]

Is now better anti mutant than 9x19

[spice pilot]

9x18 doing more damage than 9x19 is wild to me

[solar chasm]

It's kinda like 5.45 vs 5.56 in pistol form

Yeah yeah

I do kinda agree but w/e is game

[solar chasm]

I'm sure that's happened in CoD

[wanton harbor]

I caved, cowabunga it is

[river parcel]

I'd be upset if 9x19 got nerfed to make 9x18 better, but 9x18 just getting buffed is totally fine

[solar chasm]

Yeah 9x19 didn't get touched

It's still as good

[river parcel]

all of the incredible 9x19 guns are just as good as they were before, but now you just also have some 9x18 guns getting buffed ammo

[solar chasm]

9x18 guns are still generally pretty bad platforms... except for the kiparis kit

Hehe bubba 9x18 ppsh go brrrrr

[spice pilot]

yeah I really want to use the kiparis but it has no place in my loadout, I'm using a FAL + benelli and FN 57 in pistol

[river parcel]

honestly the 9x18 auto pistols are really good now

[solar chasm]

You swap out the benelli

[spice pilot]

HERESY

[solar chasm]

It's pulling the same duties

[river parcel]

the petnach or whatever it's called, APS modernization, that one's really fucking good rn

[solar chasm]

Pernach yeah

[river parcel]

yeah that one

[solar chasm]

Can rock a laser on it

[spice pilot]

benelli is the magdump mutant killer, can the kiparis kill a chimera as EZ?

[crisp ibex]

4th gen nvgs day 1 on this character wow

[river parcel]

honestly the kiparis can

[spice pilot]

yeah but, 12 gauge is so cheap thoooo

[river parcel]

you know what else is cheap

and the best part? you'll be getting ammo for free, because every WP NPC with a pistol is going to drop a few bullets for it

[viral roost]

opened menu to pause to take a shit, return to random crash

[elfin socket]

9.5 is definitely most unstable

[crisp ibex]

lmao the binocs still have insanely high sens even if you don't ads

[river parcel]

9.5 isn't very stable but honestly it's unstable in a significantly preferable way to how it used to crash on me

now it just crashes to desktop every once in a while, instead of driver hang my entire PC like it used to

[hazy harbor]

How do we enable flashlights/lasers on our guns?

[river parcel]

hold L

[hazy harbor]

Thank you

[elfin socket]

To me its worse, im crashing more

[river parcel]

it's crashing more often, but I just have to restart gamma now, instead of my entire computer

[midnight coyote]

yeah, the crashes have become way more common but they're also way less critical

from crash to be being reloaded to last save it's 5 to 10 seconds max for me (running it on a SSD though)

[crisp ibex]

did everyone have a lot of crashes before? I don't remember any and haven't had any since 0.9.5

[viral roost]

some things never change

[crisp ibex]

also do stalkers only trade with you when you have high enough rep? i hardly see the option to trade

[river parcel]

before 0.9.5 it was probably like once every 10-20 hours, after 0.9.5 it's maybe around 5-10 hours

much prefer it to "crashes so hard I have to power cycle my PC to get it to respond again" though

[midnight coyote]

yep indeed, especially as in older versions, if it crashed, it would even be stuck for a while before you could restart (except you were just going for a hard reset each time but that's usually not that bright of an idea)

so even if its more often the 'I cant play!'-Time has decreased significantly

[fallen stone]

Alright I entered Garbage as military and fought like 8 squads before even reaching the hangar. How do I tweak pop settings? cuz this shit seems more like call of duty map than the zone

[wanton harbor]

Damn, the ATM got shut down

[midnight coyote]

use he disguise system but you might want to tweak it's settings as it's kind of unforgiving on default

[river parcel]

the driver hangs on mine are pretty rough, I'd rather just hard reset it than wait an indeterminate amount of time while something worse might happen

waiting for a driver hang to resolve was how my PCI bus that handled audio got broken for a few months before windows eventually discovered a workaround by itself

[fallen stone]

I just started the game I have no disguises but yeah I'm asking where the settings are if you guys know?

[midnight coyote]

Escape -> MCM

[opaque vortex]

is it just me or are headshots worse than leg shots on all enemies in the new update?

I'm having leather jacket bandits tank multiple .45 headshots

[midnight coyote]

and in regards of the disguise system, just grab a random stalker armor and you'll be fine ^^

[hybrid cobalt]

protip- usually Ctrl+Shift+Windows+B clears any super hangs like that

[river parcel]

yeah I tried that too unfortunately

[blissful ivy]

i tell you what, it might be good

on GAMMA

[river parcel]

good tip though

[blissful ivy]

but on R3?

its a piece of shit

literally more recoil than some .308s ive shot in gamma

in full auto

and its a 9x18

[regal shale]

does ghillie suit have stealth bonus?

[river parcel]

not really but you look cool

[regal shale]

Sadge

[fallen stone]

Don't you need to repair it?

[midnight coyote]

depends

lower conditions means higher suspicion

how much higher depends on the settings 😉

you can even tweak them that a 1% condition won't blow it

[solar chasm]

Amd graphics card?

[river parcel]

yeah, RX 580 8GB

[hybrid cobalt]

oof

[solar chasm]

Yeah i'm hqving issues with driver hangs myself

But it's not a gamma/anomaly specific thing

[river parcel]

same here

[solar chasm]

Feels like it's just getting worse

And i'm on a 7700 xt

Amd's software sucks

And windows 11 isn't helping either, nothing gives me any sorta reasonable logs

[river parcel]

first started happening in like 21/22 with a particular spaghetti coded game (war thunder) and since then I've noticed it's kinda just picky with specific titles

Escape from Tarkov: Arena specifically in the gunsmithing tab is a really quick crash, only takes minutes

not an issue in base game tarkov at all, just picky about it

it's funny because it's not related to performance overhead either, I've played games where it regularly pushes the card to like 95C and no crash

crash frequency changes entirely just depending on the particular patch of that specific game released

[midnight coyote]

aahhhh ... home, sweet FOB 😄

[hybrid cobalt]

95c???????????
are you sure? That's... that's real bad.
That shouldn't even be possible, kind of telling me that you have hotspots that might be causing other issues, like vrm or other such stuff.

Do you get ANY of these issues if you cap the FPS to like, 5? or throttle the power to maybe 70% in afterburner/amd whatever?

[river parcel]

yeah I've never had it crash once due to thermals, but open a game it doesn't like and go to the thing it doesn't like and it'll hang pretty predictably

[midnight coyote]

hehe, won a round trip right at my first visit xD

[solar chasm]

Mine likes to hang on alt tabbing and ctrl win s

[river parcel]

I'm glad mine doesn't get upset over those, that sounds especially rough

I also have intentionally old drivers though because the newer ones have UI/Rendering issues in certain titles

(Armored Core 6's HUD breaking, Marathon's textures all turning black or transparent)

I was recommended 23.5.2 to resolve those issues and it's worked without problems

[wanton harbor]

Is that a fucking laser on the frasier

that's nasty

[north flume]

M1014 acquired lads

[low cedar]

yep

[river parcel]

lasers got added to a lot of weapons

[low cedar]

I actually just repaired mine

[wanton harbor]

That's fucking insane

Mid to late game anti mutant covered unless I fall in love with this kiparis kit, wherever thats from

I presume WP Supply 2 or 3

[low cedar]

Yeah the duty col has it available i think it was tier 2

[river parcel]

I never actually checked a WP trader at supply 2 but I can confirm it was present when I did check at 3

[gritty wasp]

gold stash in pripyat in the middle of monolith base underground got me john wick killing all of them

[fervent wedge]

So... What's the point of giving tools to the guys in town now?

[subtle kestrel]

mongie

[random grail]

To increase their stock level

[wanton harbor]

Holy fuck, blessed early start

[fervent wedge]

You could just wear a disguise and go in and get it

[random grail]

[gritty wasp]

"you cant disguise as monolith"

[river parcel]

can't disguise as mono/sin/isg

[gritty wasp]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1028550146360881194/1466882966268547213/convert-1.gif

[subtle kestrel]

idc you can disguise an mono anymore

[fervent wedge]

Damn.

[wanton harbor]

I'm usually not super jazzed for bolts, but early game? this shit's gonna be the finger flick of death

[fervent wedge]

🙁

[gritty wasp]

yeah dw i tried too

fat ass text in the middle let me know real quick

[fervent wedge]

You can't disguise as ANY of them? That's stupid

[gritty wasp]

you arent brainwashed ig

they know

[sick yoke]

Haven’t been able to for a while

[river parcel]

anyways giving them tools increases the amount of items they sell you

[rapid holly]

!voice

[dawn marten]

@rapid holly read this: #╭📖faq message

[fervent wedge]

I've never really tried. I only learned about disguises when I first played UNSIG

[subtle kestrel]

disguising as a loner, as a loner, to shoot sid in his fat head

[river parcel]

instead of selling you 2 ramrods and stick of gum they'll actually sell you everything you need to make repair kits

[subtle kestrel]

"who, me? i'm uhh john stalker"

[subtle kestrel]

its been fun trying to run the back of the napkin math to figure out WHAT fucking parts i can make for a repair kit before it's more cost efficient to just buy the fucking thing

building a type d cleaning kit with the last of my bullshit to find out i'm short a single grooming kit and i bought mangun's last one a day ago

[river parcel]

I can tell you it's definitely not a good idea to buy the D Repair Kit anymore lmao

[subtle kestrel]

i can only imagine. looked at a C and it was like 30k? madhouse shit

[river parcel]

King's Ransom

[subtle kestrel]

its also really funny because its that much for three uses, meaning two parts on your green barrel gun are still gonna be dogwater

good christ

[low cedar]

a measly 100k roubles?

for unlimited power thats a bargain

[subtle kestrel]

i don't think i've approached 100k at a single time yet this run

[sick yoke]

Usually you only use repair kits on the barrel and just throw in green parts that you loot

[river parcel]

the T3 artefacts booklet that hermann sells is 99,000 as well

A lot more than the uh. 6k for the t2 booklet

[subtle kestrel]

the heart of chornobyl was the friends we made along the way

i'm doing a hard/hard run for the first time in gamma and there have been multiple times i have had 0 miney after buying all the mosin ammo i could

[little light]

[river parcel]

but yeah I crafted the D Repair Kit (20 type D cleaning kits btw lol) and I haven't used a single charge of it yet because I'd rather spend the 5-10k roubles buying the gun part off the mechanics instead and just inserting them

[little light]

i love it here

[fervent wedge]

Wtf is "safespawn hostiles have arrived"

[river parcel]

don't worry about it

[hushed pier]

Man i deleted

i dont know too many random bugs

[rapid glen]

The math nerd doesn’t like random bugs.

Isn’t that, like your thing?

[solar chasm]

I feel like alife+ is screwing with safespawn

[river parcel]

it'd be the most likely culprit

I haven't seen the message show up a single time though personally

so idk

[tacit patrol]

This is like the best pre MM loadout I've had in a run yet I think

[river parcel]

haha yes

good pistol

blast they ass

[subtle kestrel]

woah. ui?

king shit

[floral crow]

since when did anomalies fly

it's just in the sky flying around like a bird

slowly.

[tacit patrol]

I love this game man
I crave moments like this like an addict

[fervent wedge]

lol

[midnight coyote]

lmao, a bloody chimera just fucked up my killquest because it killed my target xD

[plush zenith]

holy ferk i just found a raptr 12g for the first time on a brand new save pretty much, i have hundreds of hours never seen this gun

[solar chasm]

The kitted out obrez lol

No upgraded backpack?

[floral crow]

anyone how how to get it? I shot it and it kinda just took it until it just stopped existing

[tacit patrol]

six out of seven days of the week I give monoshooters shit for not giving me as much dopamine as automatics
Then there's today

[floral crow]

sorry I meant artifact*

[river parcel]

wearing a bandit armor they probably haven't needed a backpack upgrade yet honestly lol

[solar chasm]

Er

[tacit patrol]

Happens with grav anomalies

Just shoot em

and hope they don't fly higher

[solar chasm]

Save and reload generally gets them back on the ground too

[solar chasm]

Fair

[floral crow]

strange that they don't fall down

[solar chasm]

Bandit stuff is really nice for carry weight

Bandit load bearing vest lul

Like 44 carry weight delta

[tacit patrol]

Renegade leather jacket with +15kg and 130 move speed

[river parcel]

I don't think I'd ever intentionally pick a bandit suit because of the combat downsides, but if it's just the first light/medium/heavy upgrade to your starter armor that you have... there are benefits!

[tacit patrol]

Guess it makes sense for looters

[solar chasm]

I do be a looter in the early game

[tacit patrol]

The armor I have now has better BR resistance (not class) than the Wastelander

[river parcel]

i forget if loner armors also get the BR/BRC reduction in favor of their +1 belt slot

[solar chasm]

Yeah the bandit beryl is still a combat vest

[tacit patrol]

Carry weight and survavility do be important when 9 out of the 10 factions in the game are looking to kill me

[velvet jacinth]

Ummm... I think Grok might have made a slight oversight with the most recent change to Clear Sky...

[solar chasm]

Haha

[midnight coyote]

mhh, what's the hook with the swamp witch quest in the village of Kopachy in Jupiter?

[river parcel]

that's normal jank though, mercs and freedomers ask you to do that all the time tbh lol

[velvet jacinth]

Really? How odd...

[river parcel]

you just have to look them in the eyes and tell them no

[tacit patrol]

Headshotted an ecologist so hard my game crashed

[midnight coyote]

he game told you "One does not simply kill Ecologists, chump!"

[plain bear]

Hip threw my first exo into the shadowrealm...

[floral crow]

I hope my trip to garbage to get my first yellow stash goes well, (3 fucking lurkers fucking 3)

they were right on it too

[midnight coyote]

she telling you, if you want her to hang around, you need to be a redjacket chad ^^

[plain bear]

It was the renegade one so like w/e but NOO MY FREE HEAVY SHIT

[midnight coyote]

xD
