real, ace/hydrid was my go to before 0.9.5 but I've been rockin the military exosuit because of its new stats
found 4 hybrids and 2 aces so far
not using em

look what I found. Is that a Vepr? (if that gun is still in-game). Guess that's my new teammate for mutant hunting.
gamma pretty much:
I keep wanting to try a proto exo for once but I cannot find one smh
Gamma hidden pity system at work
hear me out
bandit skat 9
maybe from the mono ghosts in cnpp or from black market
its just a saiga
it doesnt look like a normal 6 round saiga
if i get my hands on a skat proto exo its end game for me
"Wanna wrestle?"
that one is black with short mag.
iirc its the older model
but its definitely a saiga
waited for next save, killed him.
You're right, just a 6 round Saiga
meh. but it'll do.
I have the duty pzd-9 body armor, shouldve been running that tbh
But I ran the exosuit out of pity because I used to religiously hate on them
they're actually good
btw bandit skat has 54kg carry weight + 105 movement speed
oh yea 100%, but before the rework they were ehhhh
what was done with Exo carrying ability this update?
I've checked those in debug, and some of them have abysmal free weight.
whats more suprising is the other changes to the armors too
the sin overcoat now has 6 slots and i cant wait to get my hands on it
stats in debug menu aren't correct iirc
idr, i don't use debug often
yeah its better if you have the armor in your inventory
i think it gives accurate stat

Chat what faction should I try
Im debating freedom, duty or merc.
Did you get leveled down some how to get the cyan color back lmao
do duty
having cs as enemies gonna be interesting
Is there an alternative way to get guided up north as duty?
Cause iv been having to do Bar>Jupiter>Zaton if I dont want to walk
Grok is the US government but instead of tripling the defense budget he tripled the armor weight
i requested to lvl down
Based
navigator in the rads bar
afaik he can guide you up north
but just wear a disguise
idrk a good way to move up north as duty
Right I forget disguises are a thing tbh
Id do freedom but they are kinda neutral to all the early game goons to shoot
but also access to patch gambling is fun
like i had any before
having mercs as enemies is great
Soul sold to Teto...
I think I may just do freedom but I shoot bandits anyway cause I like shooting them tbh
apparently freedom vs mercs or bandits is being considered
that would change gameplay a lot
if freedom vs mercs
Erm, guys, i started Arena and i got no one to fight with, just running around lol. Did anyone have the same issue?

Freedom vs Mercs would be kinda cool but MAN it would make Army Warehouse a warzone
didnt have an issue
lol its already a warzone but yeah itll be chaos
Did you die and load a save while in the arena? iv had that break the script before
was it always like that in 9.4 or only now in 9.5
That's weird lol
First time taking out the Scar-H and man even supressed this sounds super meaty with the new sounds, also it eats Monolith for breakfast holy
no, new to 9.5
just reload a save ig lol
ah
freedom vs mercs would make sense considering stalker lore but idk about gameplay
No, i had a new save as Free stalker at Rostok base. Straight into Arena for some money lol
S-Strelok?
Goddamn I already liked the Scar-H but all these changes made it a real menace mowing down Monos
And this isn't even the AP rounds
Me when i use twenty casings to make ten bullets, amazing

Which mod adds text that appears on the right side of the screen, displaying information about looted items, kills, and reputation?
There’s already a mod that does this btw
I did it in a few secs tho
Save yourself some time
what do mercs with ace suits look like
They have a cape
i need a goddamn stash istg
#╟🔰☢newbies-chat message Had to do some digging but this should still to be up to date
it...didnt work, wot

holy
thanks mane

Simply build the big box
Anyone else playing duty and now fearing Yantar
I get ambushed by Clear Sky every time I pass the entry point
which one should i go with

I have done this before though 
Just get the mod lol
prob outdated
depends on what you're able to repair
Probably
Nah its peronal now
im MAD NOW
medium

😔
kinda wonder how many mods i can turn off without the game breaking
either the merc LC or duty seva then, compare their stats and pick what you prefer
turn off all mods and see what happens


Uh, my X8 lab only had one Burer and no snorks?
skat 9
can't wait to get all the way to this stash and it's gunsmithing tools or some shit
he cant rep heavy armors yet
oh mb im blind
woe, basic tools upon ye
go for the duty seva then

Think it was 10
I became so prepared and X8 lab was literally 1 burer and 3 tushkanos, instead of the 4 burers and dunno how many snorks
get monolith'd
average merc stability after two epi pens, 3 vodkas and a blunt
Anyway if it is 20 I don’t think you can change that recipe by reducing the amount of parts needed? Something about only being able to craft with full item stacks
the loot is plentiful
Yea mercs are stinky
I am a merc hater
I am a merc
mers are the best they fight for themselves no bullshit
merc who?

Oh so it was 10 stack
communist
Maybe in its own ltx or something idk
Grok changed it from using ap heads around when he made it do a shit ton of damage but have no ap
Spaghettify mercs
I cant find fmj anywhere what the
Also the merc lovers are plentiful as always i see -_-
more to loot
i-i cant handle this right now 😔
you don't know how to party and make money i see
Mercs are brokies
gasp
Skin a lurker you just killed, listen there's nothing around, get jumped by a chimera mid skinning animation
yep
i can afford a 1 bedroom run down apt in dead city thank you
well maybe if this merc didn't one shot me twice with a lapua, then I wouldnt have to turn him into spaghetti now would I?
Okay yeah I cant find the 338 fmj recipe

chimera radar locked on u 20 nautical miles away
Kill that Chimera, hear a 2nd one coming that jumps you with a lurker buddy, Outskirts man.
Kill all the mercs
is the renaming MCM values mod not working for anyone else when they update?
I really like the BRN-180 but the extra bendy 7.62x39 mag kinda goofy
What is the dif between fmj and federal?
Federal .338 isnt .338 Lapua its its own thing (its a weird hunting round)
And its recipe is also not with the other ammo
.338 Fed has like comically high damage per shot but basically 0 armor pen
Its somewhere in the magical files
Kill the 2 Chimeras that got you that time, there's a fucking third one
seriosu question need to go back from outskirts to jupiter, should i go underground or main pripyat
Do you need a specific SVU for Nimble to upgrade? I tried to give him mine and he told me off for not having the gun
Also the SVU is kinda butts the recoilis weird af
Mood
classic red forest, 5 military, 1 black chimera and 1 chimera, 2 psydogs, pulse anomalies 
within 2 minutes of entering
still no pelt
the crab shaped merc
when you guys start as loner where do you make your first base? cordon? north cordon? rostok? army?
the meatball shaped merc
Cordon yea
I am so fucking fed up with these chimeras at outskirts
A funny solution to that is a max Rof aks-74u tactician with HP
That doesn't help when the 0,1% jam decides to fuck you over as well
no expert tools but i did find a KSG-23 
The backup solution to that is a 23mm shotgun
I checked every street I could see down before going back to loot, a homing Chimera with my name attached rounds a corner
I do have KS-23M but that doesn't help when the Chimera is already on my ass, I shoot with what I got (and the Scar-H does kill them quickly)
excellent mutant killer, needs maintenance often tho
How do I disable that loud sound of when I discover new area?
@celest sparrow I'll just move this here to avoid offtopiccing
For the first time in GAMMA's life span, I genuinely think we're at the end. There's really nothing more we can do to this amalgamate of a creation. You can make a story rework (that everyone will play like once, because GAMMA isn't about the story), the repeatable X-labs (most of which are in the south), but as long as we are still bound by that terribly outdated map layout we've had since CoC, I simply cannot imagine as to how anyone would make the north as fun to play as the south.
why did you get demoted
Any one else Meatchunk pilled this patch

Made a deal with the Oflin devil
just remove the North
How about a fistful of heresy, expand the map outside the zone
this is what I'd do
quit
enjoy life
Nuke Meadow
there
I can kinda agree Hospital, Generators, dark scape and meadows kinda could just get axed but I like the CoP maps
maybe half of truck cemetery
i dont think the map is that terribly outdated
i luv the map tbh
i quite like TC
meadow gets a pass for not being obnoxiously big
you can love what you want, obviously
just needs actual shit in it
I actually dont like the SoC Pripyat map its just OOPS ALL MONOLITH (if you shoot once you attract them all)
Renegade base 
rather than just being a map to pass through
also personally i do the main story every time i play, i end my runs not long after i finish all the main story quests
the 4 renegades in meadow 
DLSS for Gamma when 
This playthrough I've gone to meadow like 5 times due to lost signals and I have not seen a single living soul, stalker or mutant there except like 1 loner who I am pretty sure spawns there or some shit
when sss24 comes out
Guys, tell me-please help: any weapon in aiming shoots slightly above and to the left of the center. Whether it's kolimatr on PP, or x4 on Ak. What could be the reason?
most people I talk to on here tend to end once they get Experts, which sort of coincides with finishing Living Legend
and idk if dlss is rlly gona make the game run that much better though
it already exists with SSS24
its just pay walled for early access rn
maybe with multithreading it will help it but even then idk if itll be that much of a performance bump
U know wnen approximately?
i just use lossless scaling to frame gen up to 144 it works great for me
okay but when fsr?
no i do not
💀
also in sss24
fsr is also coming with sss24
your 3DSS install may be screwed
or 3DSS itself is screwed
Small preview of SSS24. Now you can use DLSS 4 and FSR 3.1 to upscale your game and save some GPU performance with an acceptable image quality. DLAA and Native AA are also available for a nice option to soft borders and completely remove any shimmering from your game.
If you don't want to wait for the release of SSS24, you can subscribe to my K...
this is from 8 months ago so i imagine in a couple months itll be out
Thx i go check.
Game runs beautifully now
When can i get 200 fps? ;-;
I regret buying 2k monitor. I used to have about 120 fps in Gamma when I had 1080 monitor, now I only get 50-60 and it's quite unstable
I personally finish once I get legend/master + exo
I get 150 fps in gamma
DLUS?
Could be more 😔
GOD DAMN
I cap at 120 but it doesn't seem to hit that and GPU is just chilling
ill sell it
oh nvm
Does anyone know if 3D cache actually helps with stutters?
I know Gamma is CPU intensive, and people advise for more core speed, but does anyone know if virtual cache makes a difference?
its a laptop
it still caps it, so about 140-150 if uncapped
My 9070Xt runs at 100% on gamma
lemme flick it on actually and see the fps difference, avx tends to be a lil crashy tho
What about stutters?
Im getting the 9850X3d JUST FOR GAMMA
No stutters for me, unless the game has been on for a while

5700X3D + 3080here

9800X3D and 5080 powering through
I use the R 5 7600
my laptop is i7 9850 H
with Nvidia Quadro t1000
Holy peak build
Well weird, I'm experiencing drops from time to time, usually when something spawn
like a a pack of chimera spawned specifically to feast on my loner ass
Vro
his cpu
IS CARRYING
Cache? Have you tested?
Cache does improve perf on gamma, yes
same processor btw
No, even when you shoot from the hip with a laser, it shoots at the same point when you shoot with a scope. My God, this is very inconvenient :с
Gamma's music selection aint too bad, when it isn't the previous menu music for the millionth time
most games like hearty amounts of cache
I also get stutters when stuff loads in
dw
But I do get 150fps
when the darkwood music comes on
well thats the thing, I'm getting constantly above 140 fps with occasional drops
It happens yea
also learned something quircky, holding shift adds between 0.2-1ms of frametime
literally losing like 5-10 fps just from holding shift lmao
The Darkwood ost is fitting, but there's this one track that I hate with a passion. idr the name, I just know it was the previous main menu music
how did you confirm?
uhh there are vids about it
would you pls help me find it good man, I haven't seen them on YT
In a sec sure!
also whats up with the bandits being ragebaiting me. For some reason when i go to my stash they walk up and trying to push me into a wall, if i get out of there they start waking away, but soon as i walk back in they're pathing towards me again
My FPS tank like 7-8 frames when I loot at the ground, even without grass mods, anyone has the same problem?
I forget do you have to do mm before scorcher?
Hip does this to me in rostok when im doing shit at my workbench
i tried killing them but it puts me at -100 goodwill with bandits
which i assume is enemy territory
yea but its bandits so who cares
idk about what good will it is to become hostile
I think its -1000
they're as convenient as loner bases
iv been like -250 with freedom before when doing random quests for duty
should i clear the merc base or no
the upgraded kiparis is slept on yo
upgraded my unisg exoskeleton with tier 3 upgrades
istg if I find a nosorog after spending so much time/money on t3 kits
the rex is a double action now?
cool

i just got rickrolled in gamma
40kg over your carry limit, Strelok turns over and tells you it's time to raid the CNPP
rookie mistake, don't do eidolon quest with full inventory and looter mentality
That's like telling me to stop breathing
lol, I'm the same way
Doesnt dissasembly give back most of the kits?
Do we have a list/image somewhere of all the Stitch trades/upgrades?
Before this update I hadn't played in over a year, ashamed to say I forgot which weapons can be upgraded 🆘
it can give a few kits back
keybind for underbarrel attachments? got a pistol with a laser/light and no way to use it xD
keyword can
Weapon flashlights don't work (purely cosmetic apparently), but to toggle laser hold L, or press P for laser settings
thanks dad
lol, i really don't mind higher tier armors only using tier 3 kits tbh
makes exos feel like that much more of an investment
Fair
do stashes have better stuff in them the more north they are? or does being in the northern parts only impact the toolkits?
Yes
You get better stuff in northern stashes
Not sure about random items but outfits, helmets and so have different drop rates based on location
soooooo another dumb question from me: is there a keybind/mod for like....sitting down? wanted to know if i could make my wait time for healing more immersive
......

i appreciate the effort xD
and you aint wrong
just wanted to sit... sit, and maybe play the guitar
also a valid take... of which i reject and substitute with my own fantasy
damn been so long since i last was in deserted hospital
Ground is dirty anyways why would you ever sit on it
back in like stalker 3
I had a rare stash in Pripyat. Really close to the Jupiter pathway (the one in the truck if you know where that is) is I took the Jupiter pathway. Immediately I am met with the yellow screen and psi bullshittery. Turns out in that building there is a controller. I run upstairs and jump out a window and get to the stash (expert tools btw)
Run back inside and the fucker equips my gun after I put it in my bag. And I make it out with like a second to spare before my psi dies and/or I blow my brains out
sorry had to go afk
Super sampling is a wrong term for how dlss (deep leaning super-sampling) works.
DL'SS' renders the picture at lower resolution than monitor, then scales it up with AI.
That process is called up-sampling, going from low to high.
Super-sampling means opposite, renders at higher resolution, then display in lower, like running a game in 4k on a 1920p monitor
so yea DLSS is false advertisement 
it's DLUS
AI is harder after 0.9.5 right? or has it just been awhile for me
squads seem bigger and more aggressive
Underbarrel grenade launcher came in real handy here
more small groups (3-4) but same aim
where do yall recommend going to get some better weapons? i killed a legend stalker and he had a ak-103, and ive repaired everything except the barrel but i need expert tools for that so that aint gonna happen, rn im stuck with a colt .45 and a toz 106 and i need an upgrade lol
Literally any base ak
loot white stashes/gold stashes, kill stalkers, loot them. whatever you find that has a working barrel fix it up and use it
beggars cannot be choosers in the zone, the zone giveth and you must taketh
i think my monolith run is borked so i may have to do a new one
How do you bork a monolith run?
iunno
stalker moment
couldnt go to red forest or zaton from jupiter
i had this same issue last year but i cant remember how i fixed it
why does the loading screens say 0.9.5 and not 0.9.6

because... we are on 9.5?
its crazy, i havent gotten any gold stashes and i have 27 tasks completed
i thought with the new 9.6 launcher it would change
the launcher is 8.6
- the launcher is 8.6
- launcher does not mean gamma version

my bad
throw this man into darkscape
im just happy to have this masterpiece back
Take a pilgrimage to the wish granter
weird u really should have gotten one by now
ikr
does anyone know how to fix something like this
are u doing like, "find documents for barkeep" or "search the stash" tasks
i did search the stash
and it gave me one gold stash but i dont count that
cuz it wasnt a reward
well that does count

ok, 27 tasks completed and one gold stash still very unlucky
if u have 6/7 tasks complete for gold stash and u accept a search the stash, itll count towards that gold stash
do yk how to fix man please my friend
i have noticed sometimes the game will give u a white stash but then when u go to the area it turns into a gold stash on the map?
idk ive only noticed it on 9.5
brainrotted ah chat fr
maybe i gotta try that
guys how can i fix issues with a UI mod not working properly
dawg I have no clue, I dont mess with ui stuff

darkscape really makes you feel how lonely stalker is cuz theres nothing in darkscape

probably somethin related to x and y coords in the mcm for the ui mod
probably a lot of trial and error messing with that till its right
alright thank you sire
Marneus Chadgar

Still waiting for patch 13, some of the cosmetics and changes they've shown look badass
anyways, sdalger
remind me please, outside of gravi anomalies and burer/poltergeist item throws, what else uses impact res?
Finished the CNPP, I have 7 bullets left
7 bullets and a dream
nothing really
lmao
its not worth shit
And would you look at that barrett
Hi, how to disable character replicas?
so a good dump stat on artifacts then, ok ty
I am unable to use food items or talk to npc. Is there anything i can do to resolve this?
probably
Ngl playing as the military is fun
just use cover and shit for burers
all burer attacks are impact btw
not just thrown
like the wave of force is impact too
and it can take 80% hp in one go
so just use cover like i said
Whirligig got my ass as I was typing this
What about the kamehameha move
The swamp location in agroprom just blessed me with 3 artifacts
TS better pay very well lmao
hey guys so my base location is compromised
Im in Jupiter and im trying to find a safe spot in this zone area
I tried the jupiter complex and the tower both have enemies march up it
Anyone know how i can see my cpu and gpu usage during play?
does anyone know when dx8 will be back up again
no one is working on it, so don't expect it
rip my potato pc
umm so I tried to run over a Burer in a car - the game didn't like that
actually there's this
#1502508171623796916 message
assuming 3dss is the only dx8 incompatibility
food
why is RETUNE ambient sounds disabled by default (in alternative), are there any problems with it or its just a taste thing, who tried?
Been doing duty quest to hold off bandit wave.
All good, almost done, hiding behind a rock from last or near last wave.... SUDDEN CONTROLLER FLANKING ME.
Good that Im not doing ironman, kek.
it works fine
i mean the rats from ratatouille have to come from somewhere
Explosives go through cover? I thought I was fully protected from a grenade but it injured me pretty bad anyway
The barrett also accepts a thermal sight, oh my god
The new magnifier quick scopes have no scrollable zoom? It would seem like they would
get this instead #1432152283658850405
its retune 2.0
usually its the RATS who survive
the electrical one?
thats just the same thing but a different flavor iirc
probably added electrical damage
I love how mercs and freedome seem like best buddies
what's a good artifact combo for BR%?
They're chill
Common Duty L
Chimera pelt/Full empty
Duty L’s left and right
freedom is merc bootlicker while duty is military bootlicker
I think clear sky is a faction that believes in exploring the zone, also they’re friends with freedom
And the idea that CS and Duty are enemies is only a thing for GAMMA, lorewise, it doesn't make sense
finally did x-19 on hard, sr-2m jammed on me like 7 times lol
only took something like ~360 9x21 :^)
no exo monolith inside or out which is odd
single master
only one can spawn iirc
eh, imo it kinda makes sense
hold on, the newly added Uzi's don't drop?
https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1501913926596558972
if you had too easy if an experience
clearsky are militant scientists who seek to exploit the zone that is fundamentally opposed to duty's shoot the zone dead policy
I don't think so?
the MAC does
ah poop
yeah only part added actually is the mac
fucking dynamic anomalies sometimes man
I had 30 seconds to spare, 7 mins is brutal
perhaps one of the funniest things about this update
fundamentally opposed is a very strong way to put it
CS thinks Zone must be controlled
"yeah we added some uzis to the game"
"oh neat how do we get them"
"lol, lmao even"
really not that far off of Duty
timing wasn't the issue I had 5 minutes to spare by the time I came to the tube room
had to do it
by that logic Duty would be killing Ecologists.
on-release timed BS had like 6,5 minutes and a dozen Nosorogs inside
I mean post clear sky clear sky is entirely OC do nut steal
Duty's not inherently against researching the zone, after all they need to learn how to destroy it in best case, contain it in worst case scenarios.
Anyone getting random flickering of the landscape grasses? Any current fixes for that?
I guess no one was going north
eco is separate they do actual research less HOW DO WE MAKE ROCK MAKE ME KILL BETTERER
hm
I only need to leave ticked the check md5 box, right?
eh, not really
everyone was crying about it tho
so it got nerfed by enemies being made weaker
everyone cried again
so it got nerfed by giving you 11 minutes
and now we're here
real
i mean given that it could just straight up soft lock your save
BS genuinely needs to be made harder
was scorcher really that much of an impediment to people?
I mean they could just daddy save mid run
CS is far from just making rocks kill better
Then get turned into a pin cushion by the nearly retarded monos inside
that's just the gauss
They're so easy to kill too
which technically isn't a CS invention
Twice less sounds like a salary raise
Duty's core ideology is to prevent the perceived (and very real) threat to humanity in case of Zone's **further **expansion. Ideally by destroying it.
Keep in mind in lore Zone expanded before, afaik it was even mentioned in SoC, where checkpoint at the bridge is where previous cordon was. And nobody knows how much further it will expand.
Like, if you don't run in blind they will mostly be staring at a wall
I used daddy saves and sprinted forward, but I was dead in 2 bullets so couldn't go full Rambo
I was talking the exo stuff iirc
I mean Duty realised that they can't do it in CoP
And then they switched to protecting people from the Zone
Shrimply disassemble your previous exo
you saint thank u
You might get some of those upgrade kits back
Ah new patch
what does the hotfix do
its just painful
Fixes shit
i have a monolith nosorog in storage
is it worth using

it hotfixes
It fixes hot things
Nobody else getting terrain stutters?
oh
If you got nothing else then sure i guess
nice, Imma get fixed 
screenshots confused me for a second until i realized they were still running on 0.9.4 or earlier lol
Anyway are you really swiss?
it probably puts an end to the wild territory fate missions for duty though 😭
does it help with stutters
really REALLY swiss
it doesnt fix super hot things
What the fuck I just walked into a controller crossfire in red forest, both standing like 150 meters apart from one another covering a massive cross section of the map
Which canton do you live?
yeah I sort of had a discussion with grok about that


I love being a Merc but "Secure the Base" is just the funniest roll of the dice of all time man
I mean the one by the construction site imo is fine the other ones well I'd be fine with them being deleted
Well well well
This save is 2 minutes old and two UNISG guys stormed the base and the first mutant is this
I had 3 chimeras
Everyone likes being a merc its so old 😭
Its the FUNNIEST start you can get
Once
I had 3 Chimeras testing mods yesterday!
It's a nice way to get mutant corpse parts
I fucking love being a Merc dude life sucks
I'm honestly surprised he hasn't retaliated, even in some extremely petty way 
I had like 5 chimeras on Outskirts one time in a mission and a controller too
may i ask what mod got added in one of the last updates? (gamma now have 579 mo2 mods enabled, before it was 578)
Like if you start in Rostok and its all "Oooh I can nab that kill the dogs task for free tee hee"
Hello you sexy stalkers
kek, I do agree though. Picking up fate tasks in Rostok to go to WT is cheesy as hell
Merc Gang for life
After Loner ill probably go Bandit

Ill go via the order of factions
everyone is your friend
The one he like instantly does that can instant kill you are really really hurt
im a csky nerd
I am also not kidding I put my vest and helmet on and two ISG guys walked into the base
and killed 3 guys before the AI got them
I despise egghead players
Is freedom even in stalker 2?
Like playing an egghead early game is just fighting bandits and muyants
Loners go hours and never see ISG or Sin but Dead City just has them for free guys its awesome
Yes it has control over Rostok
That’s right
Also where the hell do I find people wirh shotguns
Playing as ecologists is so boring
Like as a loner i cant find a single TOZ-194 or even a pump aftion
Great swamp
I'm deadass rerolling a save I'm not shooting this thing with 2 mags of 9mm FMJ breh
id say this run is going well
im using guns ive never used before
damn nosorog so heavy I had to drop it and physically push it to my stashes 
You can find every shotgun there even a chimera hunter
last chud holdout has fallen
nothing ever happens has failed
Another reason why the bandit overcoat is peak
is that an mdr
Nah
KSG-12 and MDR 7.62
only good loot out of scorcher was the svdm
Darkscape still holds the crown
woe, 23 aks be upon ye
I'd sooner fight a Chimera with a knife than walk through an empty Darkscape
!true
No rpg?
Atleast in Darkscape you cant randomly run into a psysucker
Oh believe me, you can
no you die of boredom instead
does he know
And controllers too
Walking there also feels bad
I'd rather snap my cock in half
Gun locker
man idk, i dont work here
Best things to do in Darkscape:
Yeah i never pick missions on the darkscape
Honestly as a Loner I may aswell run only 5.45 guns
- Leave
I like darkscape the first time I walk through it then I avoid it the entire playthrough
Just to find little timmy had his legs cut off and shoved inside his mouth
Bro I dont even like going down to cordon I'm def not going to fucking Darkscape
Darkscape has a car im pretty sure
Several
So real
But that's also signing your death sentence
drive car, hit anomaly in 4 seconds, die
that you'll drive into an anomaly
true darkscape geezer
Someone decided that darkscape also MUST have a fuckton of anomalies everywhere
Specially on the road
Just use your stalker sense
in fact i had no idea the KSG-23 even existed
So fuck you if you try to get a car
Darkscape barely even the Zone fr just open it back to the public
blud thinks its on the team
It would be more interesting if it had more transition zones to other places
Or ANYTHING happened there
But nah
Empty shithole full of muties
its why I dont even play ISG lmao
And anomalies
I just aint doing all that
its like red forest but worse
I'm glad we could all come together in this moment and agree on something, maybe the only time we ever can
im mad thinking about Darkscape now fml
its just so boring
at least red forest is kinda interesting
Darkscape: it’s better than… well, nothing actually, it’s shit in all regards.
Meadow has a lot of nice hideout locations for how small it is
yeah meadow is pretty neat
Meadow always has some enemy squads there
And it's a cozy lil location
Besides, it's one of the easiest maps to do lost signal
Meadow is a vibe
meadow is also unique in terms of map



its small, got mostly 'urban' areas
There's onlyone hideout for me and its with the boys
god damn, im cumming
huh

I put a photo of miku in my seva suit to remind me what im fighting for
at least give darkscape a route to meadow istg
THIS ISN'T #╟🔰☢newbies-chat

Well i mean
it's genuinely over
How will you cross the literal mountain
the rot has spread
And the only passage i can see to there is already over the transition zone to the dark valley
yeah thats fair
what a terrible day to know cyrilic
The problem with darkscape is that it's an actual valley
indeed
Proposition: give Darkscape to the Monolith
Different from dark valley that it is NOT a valley
duh
And put a transition zone there to the meadow
idea:
make darkscape actually dark
GAMMA faking survival again
It is dark because
Signal there is fucked
Proposistion lets delete Swamp
In the mod fatal error you don't get signal there so your map and shit doesn't work
Oh wait that’d be neat actually
Darkscape as a perma-night area because of anomalies
i HATE swamp
Unless you get a signal upgrade to your pda
what a dogwater place
average interaction there
yeh!
and like give it decent loot
or like
a small sin base
It’d be a good night-hunting place for early game
Ehhh idk about Sin, those guys’ll fuck up rookies
Renegade base
oh hey talk about luck before going to radar I hadn't seen monolith but I got the full prayer set
Yeah tbh expanding bandit and renegade presence at that gas station would be pretty good
Technically? The Tuzla Encampment in Swamps is their base from what I’ve seen
renegade there is no need for more bandit locations
there is 2 bandit outposts already lol
no
Update, new save, second mutant was a chimera
I'm gonna play a Loner for a bit
yeah
make the gas station a renegade base (give it a perimeter of campfires, make it an 'island' in the darkness)
make it permanently 'night' in darkscape
if i had any idea how to mod
i might do that
I fw this
Unfortunately minimum wage is keeping my ass enslaved
just the meme tier of how good m4 protector is makes me want to play isg
uhhhh what else
cause as it is this still isn't enough to fix darkscape
I mean it’s a hell of a start
reduce the size by half
Honestly yeah
also hk-21 terminator nosorog vibe
Hey how do you keep all your settings (controls, MCM settings, gameplay settings) when you do a patch?
yeah, just cut out the whole forest area
If I had to suggest something, make it a sort of like
Military controls the road on one side, renegades on the other
Make it like the warzone level from Metro
warzone?
That would be grand
The fucking uhh
The one level where the Reich and the Communists are fighting each other and you have to sneak through
where you have to cross through the frontlien of redline and reich
Or know the bot command for me to type
oh the one with the frontline between the reds and the reich
Anyone at all
frontline?
That’s it

Follow this to "save" your settings and keybinds before updating: #╭📖faq message
And if you want to keep your personal mod list between updates, follow this: #╭📖faq message
at that point its basically just an entirely different map
Thank you for actually listening you legend
Swamp is worse imo
dw, I'm the strongest piss name that isn't actually a piss name
Darkscape is just boring
Swamps is ACTUALLY interesting
It’s got the Last Dawn quest, like five different factions patrolling, it’s good hunting land
Stay out of the water
delete the forest half of the map, make the remainder forested properly (maybe with dead trees? bc dark), make it actually dark, renegade base at the gas station
I like THE WATER
the nether
my fav map is RED FOREST
would be nice in the quick save options to have like 3 as an option
maybe add a 'string' of campfires along the length of the map?
bc stalkers would set that up if it was permanently dark there
you are proposing KINO and I LIKE it
if you really wanted to go all out
new mutant type unique to darkscape
it hates the light
nah just nuke Darkscape
That is a cool idea yea

It do be downloading
they can already be there
Darkscape would be better if there were more landmarks/reasons to go there
or more specifically fire
Its like Truck Cemetary
Darkscape must burn
Darkscape is just boring
Theres an entire half of the map enemies dont go to
its not really bad
so you cant just wave a flashlight at it to make it go away
Just too big
spiders from Metro LL type shit
I hated those shits
if this was a different game engine i would unironically suggest spiders
that can set up webs and shit
It takes about a month just to cross it.
Using car will lead you into stratosphere
maybe the spiders only aggro if you break their webs
Can we even add new enemies?
idk
im kinda just rambling here
where do you think Lurkers are from lol
I can't decide aug 9mm or mp5sd for isg
Idk how hard it'd be to add a new enemy
oh shit thats a good point
have the mutants that hate fire be reskinned lurkers
so then you have the lurkers to apply pressure
and then the spiders attack if you slip up and break their web
but then thats probably too much for
where darkscape is
that would just make darkscape super dangerous for
no real reason
and just disincentivise going there for a whole different reason
Honestly making it perma dark and a good place in the south to farm low-end NATO weapons isn’t bad at all
it'd be cool as fuck, def
but its too much for such a southern zone
Red Forest 0.5
doesn't change the fact that Darkscape is unecessarily large and takes forver to move thru in it's current state
making it more dangerous is just less incentive
thats fair
and in combination the map itself would give you the means to survive
i.e the campfires along its length to provide havens from the lurkers
yeah thats also true
the proposed reduction in size doesnt make it take less time to travel through
just delete that stupid bit at the top where it goes westward again
the stuff west of my cursor in that screenshot
or hell even cut it off there
ofc this is all probably basically impossible to implement
but its fun to think about
the spiders in particular seem particularly problematic in that regard
actually
the way snorks acted in CoP
guys how does my anomaly look
you might be able to make use of that
assign zones for the spiders to build webs
if the player enters them the spiders attack
unfortunately it’s too good to be true
well that was fun to yap about for a bit
alife plus is disabled now?
there are no words to express my hatred of enemy accuracy on high diff
We should add 500 guns
yeah sure a monolith rookie can snipe me from across the map with a 12% durability ak-102
it isn't, no
eh, I only play on hard and enemies either dome you from a mile off with a shotgun or miss point blank with an lmg
you get used to it
yeah , it makes zero sense
clearly they need to upgrade handling on their LMG 
hey is there a way to make save unavailable during combat only?
beril, wastelander, or duty seva?
Well, that's a shame. A nice little upgraded MP5 does not eat HP or AP rounds... Which makes it useless.
hrm, it seems like my planned challenge won't work at all, hrm hrm, I initially was planning to start loner and use the disguise system and a merc amror to rep me up at mercs so they'd be non-hostile but not matter how much I gimp the suspicion factor, the disguise instantly blows when I come near their HQ
is your armor fixed up?
yep, 100%
