If you didn’t knew, there is a unique scorpion (mp5) that shoots starting pistol ammo in the end of the tunnel in the part where you have to kill bandits behind the factory (just before the zone where you pass to the agropom zone)
I do know about it! But it's honestly best left in the Garbage because getting it at full durability is rare, so it wouldn't have been worth the effort going through the bandits to get it.
@@chaoticism Kinda late reply to this video BUT!, sid sells a groza with 5.45/ak ammo for 20k RU b4 you deliver nimble's flashdrive that can also be found on a duty member AND the 2 freedom base guards that don't have exoskeleton both have a sniper SG550 version of the gun which is unique
If you didn't know, there is a special shotgun at the start of the game if you kill military soldiers until you get "By a country road" stash, which has a unique TOZ. It is the only one in the game due to it's unique ID and name, so by technicality it is the same as the martha pistol despite it being the same as "Hunting Shotgun" from the bar quest. It has the highest shotgun damage in the game. I'd also told you about this on your shotgun only challenge aswell, have you seen the shotgun yet? You are also able to get a unique army suit from the Barman if you give him a nightstar like sid.
10:48 I've always took a third option: help Duty infiltrate the base and steal the gun amid the crossfire since the guard guy goes away to participate in a fight. Sometimes he doesn't even return. It's fairly easy to do that without angering Freedom as a whole and they don't care about you looting their stash.
This reminds me of when I was a child and played this game even though I didn't really know how. I remember the fast AK. I always used it for a long time, even when the nato guns became available. But as the gun degraded, the crosshair got wider and the weapon more ineffective for me, cause I didn't even aim down sights until I had a scope. I always low crouched for best accuracy cause I probably saw it in some video and figured it's the most effective way lol. Anyways, because I didn't have a way to repair the gun, I had to switch at some point. I think the fact that you can't repair equipment in this game gives it some advantages which the later titles lack. I'm not trying to say it's realistic cause like hell it is, but it's always given me a sense of urgency, a constant layer to progress, and I like that it forced me to find new gear, cause maybe it was a different suit to try out, which I wouldn't have batted an eye on if I could keep one suit repaired and upgrade it and make it mine like in cop and thus make mostly anything I find useless. Having my own equipment that is always in tip top condition due to how abundant money is in vanilla stalker made me feel too secure for how hostile and aggressive the zone portrays itself to be. SOC is the only stalker game where you don't have this sense of superiority as much, cause any enemy may drop a gun in better condition than yours, and so the field is more level. I don't play videogames much anymore although they were a huge part of my life, for better or worse. Thanks for the nicely done video that's brought me down the memory lane.
Oh yeah lad, there is a way to repair weapons and armor. If you want to repair armor you need to get artifacts that give +30% resistance 4 at least, but 5 will be optimal. I suppose battery is the best one, a lot of them are available throughout the zone, and to mend your piece of equipment just stay in the anomaly and look how your health and armor bars replenish. And for weapons, you can drop them to NPCs and upon death it will have a condition of 70%+. Also you can try to make them beg for medic bag (Dallaaaas), and weapon will be in perfect condition, when they will drop it of course.
To be honest, you could've went for best weapon in your arsenal with these rules - Upgraded VLA Assault Rifle (slightly better accuracy than VLA, same damage output and you can use sniper scope on it - reward from defending Duty guy from bandits, one of initial missions you get by entering Dark Valley first time) by joining Duty and doing few of main quests from their leader after getting documents from Yantar. Other good weapon for usage has 2 Freedom guards accessing Freedom base from Red Forest side, not from exploded wall (those actually are superior to Sniper TR301 Rifle. Prev. saw guy mentioned in Garbage tunnel, where train is, at the end of tunnel there lays stalker who has in inventory was MP5 gun - upgrade that uses 9mm ammo I would say cheap gun for long run. Just in case you are wondering about improvements on guns. For armor, Ghost suit ain't that bad of a choice due to it's healing abilities, however choice of freedom one (lighter, more bulletproof cap) ain't bad either during Red Forest arc. Great choice, Sir. So, I'm impressed you died so few times with unique equipment alone in CNPP/CNPP2 and Brain Scorcher areas. Keep it up, man!
Just discovered the channel and I'm so glad I did, the video quality is so high and yet this video only has about a hundred views I really wish STALKER wasn't such a niche game, because this definetely deserves more attention
Glad you found me! I agree about wishing STALKER wasn't such a niche series, though it gives me room to thrive. Hopefully STALKER 2 is wild enough to open up its popularity, especially here in the US.
Solid video and your jokes were spot on! Glad seeing people still running the first stalker game. Even tho some may say that Shadow of Chernobyl has not aged that well, it still has a special place in my heart. Great work dude, keep it up!
Guitar belongs top the dead loner stalker and there is a quest about it. The quest is based on a fan-fic novel that was written when the game was first released. There was a novel competition.
From memory, it lacks the Silenced Viper, the "pistol bullets" Viper, the Storm Obokan, the Combat Chaser, the Threaded SPAS, the Balanced IL86, the Silenced Pistol (from Sparrow) and the "AK bullets" Tunder (from Barin), altough they all require to kill their owner and then are never in mint condition, except the special Tunder you can also buy if you are lucky. i actually liked the fact you chose the Sniper TRS, it is one of my fav weapon, even if it is far for being one of the bests.
If I remember right, there's a unique 9×18 smg in the tunnel near the Agropom/Garbage exit (the one with a bunch of electro anomalies). Considering how common 9×18 is early game, it's worth a look.
Hmmm... IDk if it happens on newer builds but sidorovich can spawn a 5.45 groza at the begining before you do nibles quest. A stash may spawn a unique"upraded" leather jacket in cordon. Dead military guy has a unique beril suit in yantar. Also, technically the ssp9m ecologist rewarded for said berryl is one of a kind in the game. A bandit drops an uprgaded obokan and a chaser in dark valley, stalkers drop upgraded Sa80 where wolf died. 2 freedom members have upgraded scoped sig-55k. Not really that unique but 2 of a kind I guess so it may not count. Also sniper obokan on a Oleg Fiend Gusarov...
Thank you! I will not be doing a pistol only run in the near future. Maybe as a live stream if I get more followers, and without the Big Ben, as I've already done it casually. I'm working on a Call of Pripyat video but I have some better stuff planned for the STALKER series!
as I've heard, KOS of this game is possible. every killed quest NPC will give needed info and quests if you search the corpse. so there should be no soft locks
@@LuisC7 you can drop it to enemies with pistols or worse guns. When they will pick it, condition should increase. Or you can try to lay them down (not kill, just make them beg for medic bag) with bullets, cuz when they will fall, any gun should be in perfect condition
Actually got surprised when I saw the number of views. My actually non-related to stalker friend sent me a link to this video, so I thoguht that this is from another popular challenge channels. Well, then, after I watched the video, I made a decision to comment it, even if I rarely even do that, because I want to promote tour channel. Just don't stop and maybe someday you'll find your popularity. You have all instruments for that, including high-quality edit.
I love that idea your are running with, nobody does this on stalker like they do on fallout, but slow it down just a little bit, or even re voice this a little longer, I feel that the speed you talk at makes it hard to get immersed, not hate, I have mad respect for anyone doing stalker content, but slowing it down will give us a real story and get you more money from longer vids, it’s a win win, you’ve earned a sub from me keep working bro
for weapons, it doesn't matter because you can buy the thunder 5.45 from sidorovich if you don't talk to wolf in the village, so you just can buy one of the best "unique" weapons and re-buy it when it breaks
Thanks, B! I have loved and played the Stalker series on and off for over a decade now, and I have wanted nothing more than to share it! Glad I have so much approval!
i also found a way to completely skip the scorcher by complete accident, you know the path directly to chernobyl during that mission? It tells you to turn back because of psi emission kill the guards and use kits or bandages and just run through to the new area and bam itll act as if you turned off the brain scorcher
Good quality work, you've just gotten a new subscriber! Your way of making videos remind me of video's of Senza, he also makes funny challenge videos. That's a good thing btw, his editing and timing of jokes are masterclass. I like that your videos are of quality instead of quantity, I hope your work gets noticed.
Ah yes, we've come a long way from replaying S.T.A.L.K.E.R over and over again on cousin's Windows XP running PC at the age of 10... damn, I miss those times.
man, i didn't even realize freedom had an armory with cool shit, and i did all their quests too. i even turned the bar into a cop-free zone as a formality
You can get a modified OTs-14 (thunderstorm) chambered in 5,45×39mm at the early beggining of the game, via doing the first mission and then not talking to Wolf, instead get 20000 roubles and go to Sidorovich, save, talk to him and load your game until the weapon appears in the trade tab.
the "Sniper" TRS is the reason I learned that STALKER mods exist, I just couldn't bare the thought of my favorite SoC weapon breaking and there being no way to repair it
I maybe not last, and definitely not first person to tell you but... In Agroprom underground, group of bandit have a chance to spawn two unique bandits both with unique weapons one with AN-94 abakan 5.45 Assault Rifle with integrated GP-25 Underbarrel Grenade launcher, and Other with SPSA-14 highest teer shotgun. Where was unique MP-Viper 5 hidden between anomalies near train depot chambered for abundant 9x18. Best unique in the game sold Sidorovich in first location, it is best close-to-medium range weapon in the game, called GROM it is 5.45x39 chambered GROZA with almost same damage and same accuracy, you only need 30000 rubles to buy it oh and luck so then you get the sum he would actually sell it to you.
Should have used the susat unique sniper SGI-5k, honestly one of my favourite weapons in the game, because having the susat makes it a perfect rifle. Always end up getting it with low durability though.
I remember that 3 way hall in the CNPP really well, so when I ran through there in Anomaly I just brought an RPG and a grenade launcher and blew up anything that moved, including myself.
after the first duty patrol point on garbage you can get a Tunder S14 ( that shoots the ak 47 ammo), after the first duty patrol point there is a duty`s NPC. he is Patrolling alone in the Beginning of the "bar" area (he is the first you see and if you lucky... the dogs kill him for you ), or near the "army warehouses" entrance point. you can´t fit a scope on Tunder S14 but still its a great weapon ( maybe the best weapon in the game)
To be honest - it was interesting to watch, even if i was seeing so many problems. Good job) Now, because of you, i'll try myself this challenge. Thank you!
Oh, totally forgot: you could did this challenge easier if you just buy OC-14 from Sidorovich from the start of the game. It's unique because shooting 5.45 instead of 9.39 and even more powerful, if i'm not mistaken... But still, good job!
You can get the 5.45 variant of the Groza from Sidorovich at the very start of the game which would easily carry you through the whole game. If you are running low on durability you could also get a second one from the dutier in Rostok called barin who usually dies to dogs.
The die - reload game - die cycle struck a chord with me from my memories of the game. Plus, there are so many secrets and nooks to explore (I remember the first time I realised you could enter the stadium at Pripyat, before the NPP)
@@allgoodnamesaretaken6145 Instead of taking the ramp to the NPP, explore the corridors of the stadium. The infield area's quite interesting, just be careful!
Actually knife ain't unique weapon. If you will run immediately to the bar and talk with arena guy, he will provide a knife. And if you come back to the starting location and talk to the wolf he will give you the 2nd. Tourist's suit only gives extra 10 kg weight capacity, cuz you can't go over the limit of 70 by 10, but you can do it with any other outfit, except exo. So yeah. Quite cheeky, but it is stalker. Nice video lol, best wishes from Russia mate
9:53 Shoot them in the head. I carry the fast shooting AKM all the way to the endgame (including the "true ending") 10:53 Low-crouch-jumping over him is pretty easy, and there's a chair behind him to get back out from 11:13 I have _never_ been able to get a barrel to go up the stairs, on 1.0005 (unmodded) 11:57 Bring the Combat Chaser instead of the Big Ben (you said 2 guns, not 1 primary and 1 secondary). You can always switch back to the Big Ben before the end-game 13:08 You need to save _before_ turning off the scorcher, before the enemies spawn in, and run the entire exit without reloading a save; enemies will insta-aggro on save loads with how the AI works (they hear the weapon unholstering sound that plays on save-load) and it becomes way harder
In freedom's quest to kill dutiers you can walk up to the dutiers alone and RMB each of them in the face, for some reason they do not agro, and you can kill them all without firing a bullet. Perhaps it can work on freedom's arsenal guard.
For my first playthrough, i beat it with Strelok's AK. And yes, it was on hard difficulty. And yes, it took thousands upon thousands of rounds, and the AK was down to 30% condition xd
If you get on top of the barn in Cordon and sprint jump across, straight ahead to the house across. There is an opening in the corner of the back part of the roof, which contains a box that has a nice set of armor for you for early game. Could be considered Unique as well, since it's the only armor I know of like it.
Thanks a lot for that barrel tip for the freedom base. It was hard to get it up there but thankfully i pulled the kill off with one barrel cus i wasnt about to pull my hair out getting the other one up there lol
You can repair any main slot weapon without mods in SHOC. All you need is npc equiped with pistol as main weapon to kill, best try is jantar and zombie with pistol. When you find npc you want to use drop him rifle you want to repair so he take it and switch to it and shoot him with some weak weapon like MP5 until he drops weapon and falls on ground wounded asking for medkit. NPC that lay on ground wounded ALWAYS drop their firearm in perfect condition :)
You can actually repair your weapons - just sell them and kill the guy, or use "eternal corpses" + re-entering the map And there is unique walter in first location, on the roof of CPP at the end of "Cordon"
I always played with a mod that removes durability as an issue since it seems like a half-baked mechanic, as there is no way to repair or maintain equipment.
If you wound an NPC, he will drop the weapon in 100% condition. Also on the Cordon there is a stash with an anomaly leather jacket that greatly restores health and bleeding and is an OP.
That leather jacket ('Skinner Anomaly') sucks, apparently it works like a Stone Blood/Meat Chunk/Soul artifact, slowly replenishes health but takes away your bulletproof cap.
@@AspirinSGD Did you by any chance saw the stats for that suit in the game files (I didn't). I just remember they killed me way easier wearing that in contrast to ordinary leather jacket. Bleeding was also insane. But I'm playing the original game you could be playing a third party mod, which is something else.
My favorite weapon in the SoC was the Groza modded to work with lesser ak ammo. I think it's owned by a duty guy at the checkpoint where dogs attack but I am not always able to get it and I don't kill friendly npc-s.
when he said "dont trust someone in bandit armor to kill the bandits" i felt that on a personal level
If you didn’t knew, there is a unique scorpion (mp5) that shoots starting pistol ammo in the end of the tunnel in the part where you have to kill bandits behind the factory (just before the zone where you pass to the agropom zone)
I do know about it! But it's honestly best left in the Garbage because getting it at full durability is rare, so it wouldn't have been worth the effort going through the bandits to get it.
@@chaoticism Kinda late reply to this video BUT!, sid sells a groza with 5.45/ak ammo for 20k RU b4 you deliver nimble's flashdrive that can also be found on a duty member AND the 2 freedom base guards that don't have exoskeleton both have a sniper SG550 version of the gun which is unique
I always pick up this mp5 change ammo type to the smallest type plenty of ammo and it's a really good weapon once upgraded
@@64SGH it isn’t possible to upgrade weapons or armor in SoC
@@chaoticism also getting past the massive amounts of anomalies honestly just doesn't make it worth it.
If you didn't know, there is a special shotgun at the start of the game if you kill military soldiers until you get "By a country road" stash, which has a unique TOZ. It is the only one in the game due to it's unique ID and name, so by technicality it is the same as the martha pistol despite it being the same as "Hunting Shotgun" from the bar quest. It has the highest shotgun damage in the game. I'd also told you about this on your shotgun only challenge aswell, have you seen the shotgun yet?
You are also able to get a unique army suit from the Barman if you give him a nightstar like sid.
10:48 I've always took a third option: help Duty infiltrate the base and steal the gun amid the crossfire since the guard guy goes away to participate in a fight. Sometimes he doesn't even return. It's fairly easy to do that without angering Freedom as a whole and they don't care about you looting their stash.

Best unique in the game sold Sidorovich in first location, it is best close-to-medium range weapon in the game, called GROM it is 5.45x39 chambered GROZA with almost same damage and same accuracy, you only need 30000 rubles to buy it oh and luck so then you get the sum he would actually sell it to you.
Great video mand, some subtle editing and comedic additions, very entertaining 10/10 subcrubeded
Love this videos dude, pls keep uploading them!
I love your editing and humor
F for wolf. He went to Valhalla in my play through as well.
First video I've seen of yours, glad it got recommended to me :)
This one stresses me out less than the shotgun only video.
Great video man! I hope you get blessed by the algorithm and get more subs
Should have used the susat unique sniper SGI-5k, honestly one of my favourite weapons in the game, because having the susat makes it a perfect rifle. Always end up getting it with low durability though.
Now the Elephant in the room.... knife only challenge ....
I remember that 3 way hall in the CNPP really well, so when I ran through there in Anomaly I just brought an RPG and a grenade launcher and blew up anything that moved, including myself.
Got this video recommended, keep it up, you're doing well
after the first duty patrol point on garbage you can get a Tunder S14 ( that shoots the ak 47 ammo), after the first duty patrol point there is a duty`s NPC. he is Patrolling alone in the Beginning of the "bar" area (he is the first you see and if you lucky... the dogs kill him for you ), or near the "army warehouses" entrance point.
you can´t fit a scope on Tunder S14 but still its a great weapon ( maybe the best weapon in the game)
It’s my first play through and I have been carrying “bread” around since I save kruglov… you’re telling me that it’s not a special item???
this video did not wait even 30 seconds to amaze me by killing that moving ball of electricity
your editing is pretty on point, also based duty enjoyer
To be honest - it was interesting to watch, even if i was seeing so many problems. Good job)
Now, because of you, i'll try myself this challenge. Thank you!
Oh, totally forgot: you could did this challenge easier if you just buy OC-14 from Sidorovich from the start of the game. It's unique because shooting 5.45 instead of 9.39 and even more powerful, if i'm not mistaken...
But still, good job!
You can get the 5.45 variant of the Groza from Sidorovich at the very start of the game which would easily carry you through the whole game. If you are running low on durability you could also get a second one from the dutier in Rostok called barin who usually dies to dogs.
Nicely done, comrade!
Great video! You deserve more than 239 subs!
Finally some good stalker content!
The die - reload game - die cycle struck a chord with me from my memories of the game. Plus, there are so many secrets and nooks to explore (I remember the first time I realised you could enter the stadium at Pripyat, before the NPP)
How do you enter the stadium?
@@allgoodnamesaretaken6145 Instead of taking the ramp to the NPP, explore the corridors of the stadium. The infield area's quite interesting, just be careful!
Another great stalker channel, time to binge🤙
Actually knife ain't unique weapon. If you will run immediately to the bar and talk with arena guy, he will provide a knife. And if you come back to the starting location and talk to the wolf he will give you the 2nd.
Tourist's suit only gives extra 10 kg weight capacity, cuz you can't go over the limit of 70 by 10, but you can do it with any other outfit, except exo. So yeah. Quite cheeky, but it is stalker. Nice video lol, best wishes from Russia mate
9:53 Shoot them in the head. I carry the fast shooting AKM all the way to the endgame (including the "true ending")
10:53 Low-crouch-jumping over him is pretty easy, and there's a chair behind him to get back out from 11:13 I have _never_ been able to get a barrel to go up the stairs, on 1.0005 (unmodded)
11:57 Bring the Combat Chaser instead of the Big Ben (you said 2 guns, not 1 primary and 1 secondary). You can always switch back to the Big Ben before the end-game
13:08 You need to save _before_ turning off the scorcher, before the enemies spawn in, and run the entire exit without reloading a save; enemies will insta-aggro on save loads with how the AI works (they hear the weapon unholstering sound that plays on save-load) and it becomes way harder
Great video, I would love for it to be longer though
This was a really well made video, I just subscribed!
In freedom's quest to kill dutiers you can walk up to the dutiers alone and RMB each of them in the face, for some reason they do not agro, and you can kill them all without firing a bullet. Perhaps it can work on freedom's arsenal guard.
love these runs bro
"The jacket I had on was no more than a kevlar weave garbage bag" lol
For my first playthrough, i beat it with Strelok's AK. And yes, it was on hard difficulty. And yes, it took thousands upon thousands of rounds, and the AK was down to 30% condition xd
If you get on top of the barn in Cordon and sprint jump across, straight ahead to the house across. There is an opening in the corner of the back part of the roof, which contains a box that has a nice set of armor for you for early game. Could be considered Unique as well, since it's the only armor I know of like it.
what armor would that be? I only know of the improved leather jacket and the mail jacket
@@anthonyirwin6627 I forgot the name of it, it's been a while. You'd have to go look, but I know there's one there.
@@zargouellette3668 if it's the merc suit in the Rookie Village, that's a common one and there's another in the Agroprom area
Also what barn???
Thanks a lot for that barrel tip for the freedom base. It was hard to get it up there but thankfully i pulled the kill off with one barrel cus i wasnt about to pull my hair out getting the other one up there lol
You can repair any main slot weapon without mods in SHOC. All you need is npc equiped with pistol as main weapon to kill, best try is jantar and zombie with pistol. When you find npc you want to use drop him rifle you want to repair so he take it and switch to it and shoot him with some weak weapon like MP5 until he drops weapon and falls on ground wounded asking for medkit. NPC that lay on ground wounded ALWAYS drop their firearm in perfect condition :)
You've inspired me to do my own challenge runs. Thank you.
You can actually repair your weapons - just sell them and kill the guy, or use "eternal corpses" + re-entering the map
And there is unique walter in first location, on the roof of CPP at the end of "Cordon"
Doubt that works in ZRP
@@LuisC7 tbh you might be right... I would try it anyway - nothing to loose basically
I always played with a mod that removes durability as an issue since it seems like a half-baked mechanic, as there is no way to repair or maintain equipment.
Bro that duty comment caught me off guard
Currently playing Anomaly, this is some welcome nostalgia!
Perhaps it was worth changing the sniper TRs-301 to the sniper AS VAL from Voronin, he gives the task after the X-16.
Not even exoskeleton monoliths stand a chance against the mighty 9x39 cartridge Vintar + Thunder are always my go to for Pripyat/CNPP
Just got recommended this video because the almighty algorithm knows what I crave. Good stuff dude, subbed hundy p.
Now these are the runs I wanna see
If you wound an NPC, he will drop the weapon in 100% condition. Also on the Cordon there is a stash with an anomaly leather jacket that greatly restores health and bleeding and is an OP.
That leather jacket ('Skinner Anomaly') sucks, apparently it works like a Stone Blood/Meat Chunk/Soul artifact, slowly replenishes health but takes away your bulletproof cap.
@@lovrom7671 takes away cap? No.
@@AspirinSGD Did you by any chance saw the stats for that suit in the game files (I didn't). I just remember they killed me way easier wearing that in contrast to ordinary leather jacket. Bleeding was also insane. But I'm playing the original game you could be playing a third party mod, which is something else.
"I wiped the sweat from my taint after that ordeal" x'D
love this series! more stalker vids please!
"I wiped the sweat from my taint" - I need a T-shirt with that on it.
Good video= subbed, my dude!
loved this vid lol great content had to drop a sub for sure
''I have never worn a freedom suit on principle''
Based. Subscribed.
6:37 squidwart is watching, and hes not pleased
My favorite weapon in the SoC was the Groza modded to work with lesser ak ammo. I think it's owned by a duty guy at the checkpoint where dogs attack but I am not always able to get it and I don't kill friendly npc-s.
There's a chance to get if from Sidorovich before talking to Wolf about Recuing Nimble but it has like a 10% chance and costs about 20000 Rubles
