That sounds like a really good set of changes. e: From the last page Galaga Galaxian posted:I think Grok was considering adding quest asking for gunsmithing kits but afaik has not yet.

My main complaint about artifacts was that collecting them was entirely pointless in the early/mid game. There was nothing that could be done with an artifact without a whole lot of effort so just leave them where they lie.

Interesting, thanks for confirming, thought i was going crazy that i was missing some merchant somewhere who would pay $$$ for extra gunsmith kits.

Were these part repair kits always this cheapish/easy to craft? This could make getting guns with decent barrels up and running a lot easier. >20% is a lot more common than >60%.

That looks significantly easier than I remember, yeah. I don't recall what it used to be, other than it was prohibitively expensive; I'd never make universal part cleaning kits myself.

I think if stalker 2 is good ill probably do one run of it using mostly default values/settings and then all my runs after will include carry weight 999999999999 kg modifiers. reading about carry weight issues is bringing back trauma. how did that one recent story based stalker mod turn out? I remember initial impressions were pretty glowing. but i don't know what happened after that and what the name was.

Was carry weight even that big of a deal in non-modded stalker? I'm only having carry weight issues because i'm dismantling 80,000 things and hoarding it, you don't do that in base stalker at all.

Huh, weird. I didn't really notice, i did all of my money gathering via artifact stuff.

I recall when playing SoC shortly after release that I dedicated all of my artifact slots to stamina recovery (and/or carry weight?) because otherwise you could only sprint for a few seconds before having to stand still and catch your breath. It was a maddening mechanic in a game with so much backtracking and traversal.

And late game you'd want to take hundreds of rounds with you if you were using a gun that probably couldn't use looted enemy ammo, and that adds up fast.

I think next time I start a new game I'm going to give myself a self-imposed rule of no using Repair Kit Charges to magic a replacement weapon part out of thin air.

Oh man, I spent way too much time standing in the gravity anomaly in Agroprom (the one with the arching fingers overhead) with a Svarog wondering why the two artefacts that show on the screen weren't appearing on the ground at all before I thought "maybe I should look up?" How embarrassing. Got a Goldfish and a Wrenched out of it at least.

In the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R I obsessed about keeping my base loadout lightweight so I could run 5% further before running out of stamina. This was cancelled out by also wanting to carry more ammo than anyone could ever possibly need*. * I needed every single round

I loaded my inventory with parts of all sorts at various condition levels, the only thing that came up were my guns.

So ofc no sooner do I start a new game with that little self-imposed rule than the game just drops an beat up ADAR in my first gold stash. I didn't even realize that ADARs were in Gamma now. Also got lucky with a very early TOZ-194 drop so I could get a set of tools from Hip. Thankfully a couple days worth of checking the techs in Cordon, Swamps, Yantar, Rostok, and Warehouses scored me the various parts I needed to repair it (as always, I play on the harshest progression difficulty setting). Also got a pump shotgun I can repair if I managed to find a K barrel and pump handguard. I'll have a very nice early game setup with that, other than not having very reliable access to 5.56 ammo yet save the 5.56HP that Butcher (finally) sells. ngl though, if I could, I'd totally try to barter the ADAR for a 9mm SMG or something. Who wants to trade me a PP-2000 for it? Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 08:46 on Mar 19, 2024 |

RPGs in this are so stupid. Especially during the barrier defense. drat near unavoidable death. Even when I take cover I usually get exploded if the cover isn’t actually a good distance in front of me.

Are RPG's on in default gamma? I see the ammo around but i've not seen one being used.

Honestly thought it was hysterical, never encountered one during the brain scorcher assault, usually only see them in the stereotypical pypriat stadium battle. But no, eat a rocket in the garbage, where you almost never see monolith, period.

I guess it's just random chance. I've finished one gamma run and done a fair share of the north in another, and aside from ammo, I've yet to see an actual RPG, on enemies or as loot

Do a barrier defense mission (not the story one, the one where Lukas calls for volunteers on the radio) and the Freedom troops will actually call out with scripted messages when the zealots send in RPGs.

Nothing like getting an early "60+ good barrel" drop on a high end piece of gear and then scrounging more parts to repair it with. Bless the extended AK family having pretty much completely interchangeable parts in this game. I don't even have a PSO or Tulpan available to buy to put on this thing lol, but I'll manage.
