I always wondered what they were thinking when they put this in the game. Did they intend for you to go through the north path, or was this south path intended but not playtested? Such an odd game design choice where the path the game is guiding you towards is basically a dead end, even with this "chad" strat.
My theory is that this was the intended path, and for some reason the playtesters did not think it was that hard. Maybe there was only one tester and he got very lucky, or was skilled from playing Shadow of Chernobyl.
It doesn't feel that bad for me. Since my first playthrough I always use the covers and it's really not that hard, you just need a bit of luck and patience. Obviously wood is not going to stop many bullets so just get behind the rocks when you can, then at the end run away keeping a tree between you two, and just keep facing Vova Vist(walking backwards) if you need to know where the tree is.
With all the other answers exposed here, you've got to take "historical" context into account: until mid-2000's most games were built differently, used to have clunky controls and features and to be pretty hardcore. If you play games from the 90's-early 2000's, it seems the developers mostly didn't care about player's comfort or avoiding impassable "dead ends"; sometimes they used to add stuff like this on purpose or creating stuff that was virtually unplayable (I think of the race from unpatched Mafia 1 as a peak example). So I guess it was intended and it wasn't a biggy at the time: the player should feel themselves challenged. It's in like late 2000's that the games started to be made to the player's comfort and pure relaxation, even going as far as fast travel, automatic aim, or skipping moments the player isn't able to go through.
It's like they specifically designed the first hour of Clear Sky to make you quit. II replayed SoC and CoP a dozen times each and Clear Sky only 2 times.
My punk ass didn’t even try after I got shot once I just didn’t want to die so I immediately looked it up and your Chad video got me through it on my very first try. Thanks Giga Chad
Thanks for your comment ! S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games can sometimes feel very hard and unfair, but with a bit of patience and technique, you can usually find a way to get through.
@@anomalousdugout9557 Yea it’s my first time playing this game I’m loving it so far only problem I’ve had was getting the stalkers outside the military depot to rush it with me but I got some good gear off the dead military now I’m just gonna go clear the swamp of renegades then continue the story.
This game begining is stressing, it made me miss SoC After enduring the swamp, the endless mutants, the lack of cover and using pistol and a shotgun, the friendly stalkers "forcefield" throwing me off cover... I finally come to Cordon and find me being gunned down like that!
This is what happens when game is not properly playtested. It is surprising how much easier this segment becomes once you update mounted PKM settings so that they will be similiar to standart version. Now it actually makes sence to run from cover to cover, as intended.
There is another safer path??? Holy moly I literally spent an hour memorizing when he started to shoot, what path to take when i rushed and the blindspots with the trees lol.
You can go to the north there's another passage from there sneak around the bridge, and pass thru the "border" through the back end of the train. The gards will shoot on sight tho and u can't shoot back (you want to stay aligned with the stalkers as you'll have a quest for them later). I can't give much detail as I did the bruteforce strat but this is what i saw most commonly used during gameplays. (Ps I say this for later players not necessarily you man ik it's been a year dw)
The developers probably knew they fucked up because they let us take revenge after this. The military at the cordon is the only faction the player can permakill. Well, they need 3-4 run-ins but after about 50 soldiers they stop spawning.
I used the hard way. Because you have a 74 at the start of the game, I took the artifact at the tutorial, then I took the VSS, Veles and the Gravi, get some more artifacts from the swamp, killed and looted every single renegades, and took the PSO-1 from the lookout tower. Sell all of them except for the scope to upgrade the 74. Upgraded accuracy path for the 74, snipe the gunner, then run away.
@@imannordin5491 But no worries, if you have any problem you can ask me. I'm also currently working on videos to showcase all the hidden loot of Clear Sky, which can be a huge boost, but it's not scheduled to release before a few weeks.
Nice to know, I am playing Clear Sky and finishing up the cleaning of the Swamp of stashes and what mission I can do. Can you kill the turret or he will run out of bullets too?
The only way to silence it is to kill the soldier, but he is well protected and other soldiers can take his place too. If you really want to raid the military outpost, I advise you flank it to the east, there is a pile of garbage that allows to jump over the fence undetected.
The turrent is used by a soldier, you can kill him, but the outpost has around 20 well armed soldiers, very difficult even with maxed equipement, almost impossible at early levels
@@marcelhanout8246 from experience you can pretty easily do it once you got the faction equipement of the loners and with a maxed out beggining ak, on stalker difficulty at least. But yeah at early game this shit is impossible

I don't often write comments when it comes to "how to" videos but thanks bro
I remember my first time playing Clear Sky. I had been obsessed with Shadow of Chernobyl and just completed it, so excited for the next game. I'm enjoying CS and then I get to this part, I hit a roadblock and got so frustrated! I didn't want to give up, but no matter what I did, I couldn't progress. I tried running and spamming meds, sneaking around every way, I even was lucky enough to find a scoped gun and tried sniping the bastard, but he simply is a bullet sponge and wouldn't die. I eventually made it but this part always deters me from going this way unless Im on lower difficulty. I'm currently interested in trying Mystery mod for CS but I get the feeling this part is going to make me uninstall it lol. We will see, I thoroughly enjoyed my 800+ hours with Misery mod for CoP so I'm hoping this will provide that same cluelessness and frustration starting out, but as I progress through it I become stronger and wiser and damn near unstoppable. If not, I'm driving into modding out Anomaly with tons of add-ons.
I finally got around to playing CS and ran into this part and knew instantly that I could just go north to get around the base. I haven no idea why so many people didn't realize that.
Recently started playing this again on master difficulty - I managed to outrun the machine gun, but got swarmed by a horde of dogs while catching my breath. RIP
Clear sky are the hardest stalker game I ever play. Its like you need get artifacts to survive better ,I start playing clear sky again last week my god now i remember why I don't play it again these bleeding issue is pain in the butt I start questions the difficulty settings.... I do remember the first time I play clear sky I keep die for no reason non stop after first mission because,I figured it why I keep dying and I don't have enough freaking bandage 3 bandage is not enough even stalker difficulty I keep getting bleed non stop I have to cheese the enemy from very far.... Im having serizure I even forgot about this machine gun guy keep gunning me down for 50times in the past might be more than 50 times......
Thank you for this. I had wondered if there wasn't a sniper rifle I could get somehow to take out the gunner. It got to the point where I wasn't getting very far without being mowed down.
This video reminds me about the northwestern passage from Cordon to the Garbage in Clear Sky. I remember on master difficulty the bandits there would aimlock you with grenades and it was as hard if not harder than this machine gunner part. You have to shoot and then sprint jump every second to dodge each grenade volley its quite the sight and I don't remember it happening anywhere else.
Yes, going there alone while being hostile to the bandits is quite a challenge. Hopefully you can remain neutral with the bandits to pass, or wait for the loners to attack the outpost.
Love this channel, really did not like playing Clear Sky. Faction feels like an OC-do-not-steal fan-fiction faction that is a mix of ecologists, freedom and duty, and it doesn't feel like it belongs before Shadow of Chernobyl. I was constantly confused by the terrible shooting mechanics and not getting that it plays during Streloks first push into the center of the Zone.
If you got the scope from the tower in the swamps, you can fire a couple of shots at him and he will take cover for a brief moment and allow you to get by just in time. That is how I have always done it.
I died a lot to this gun, finally got past it following this Chad way of doing this but also learned you can do a lower crouch so rocks are your best friend trees are useless cover.
I never even knew that you can go back through the swamps to the other passage. Always thought it unlocks only after you travel from cordon to swamps through that passage instead
So I started playing Clear sky today, and for some reason the northern path is not there. Do I need to fulfill some kind of requirement for it to open up, or did they remove it in a recent update?
I was attacking the base died and reloaded the save then found out that saving doesnt consider dead enemies so i tried running out to loot bodies for meds to realise the MG was back after i got the achievement that says "liquidise the MG nest gunner" or something so presumed he was gone how i was wrong
I upgraded my ak: scope, no supressor, max accuracy, single fire. Hit them eventually, they panicked, got a lucky headshot on the gunner when they were between standing and squatting. Had enough ammo to take him out through body shots if needed. It was pretty easy. Obviously I used a pistol and hunting rifle (or noiseless pistol and chaser 13 if I got them) while in the swamps to hold onto the ak ammo from the machine yard. The trick for this method is to stop just shy of the activation threshold. Move forward and to the right just enough to get an unobscured view of the slot in the metal from the crook of the tree (do not move up to use the tree as hard cover). Tap fire the cheeky bastard until they drop for good. Then run, it takes about 10-20 seconds for a nearby mil goon to get back on the LMG. They would have a real reason to shoot at you then but they shot first and didnt arrange a parley. That's on them.
I have a strong bias to precision weapons, the AK was the most precise weapon I could get. I vaguely knew about the gun from meme videos and knew the area from just finishing SoC (sniper 301 inspired this).
yeah, to the northern path I go. Thanks, but not doing it the hard way. You just have to do the first side mission the give you at the underpass, if the group leader is by the tank. if the leader is in the tunnel, then they will start shooting when you get near him. So, what I did, was run the fence line, up the hill, next to the train tracks. They don't start shooting until you get to bridge. Run run run to Sidrovich. Then go save Wolf's brother, so you can get a little rep and stop them shooting at you.
Started Playing this a few days ago and got caught off guard by this, fortunately after the 2nd time I managed to headshot him with an ak (had the arsenal overhaul mod installed) and made a mad dash to cordon
run to big rock, then when he stop shoting run. then go to village. turn left and go to base from front left. there is tree near fence, then crossing fence there are objects next to wall you can jump throught. you will most likely have atleast 150 5,45mm ammo. that base is easy to take down. most soldiers wont notice you and even if they do, if you get out of theyr sight, they forget you. i shot them with ak into back and they havent even turned. take their ammo and guns, after shoting whole base take one corpse. give it all the weapons and carry it to village and store those guns or sell them to sidorovich. this way you can get abakan rifle and 500 5.45mm ammo at start of cordon. and they will respawn so you can farm ammo and rifles to sell there. i alwais did it on highest difficulty.
That fact that i never thought about going around had landed me in a gunfight with bandits. Odds are Literally 1-23. Im so pissed i never thought about it.
It always feels good to one day when you have proper armor and weapons to just come back to the outpost and kill all the soldiers there especially the machine gunner, a little payback for every playthrough he made me suffer
ah nice to see how it works.I went back into the swamp and then took the north route which also opens once you set foot into Cordon. But I kinda knew this is not how It's supposed to be :D
@@anomalousdugout9557 Because in Complete Mod, I simply get down my weapon, turn off the light and dont sprint, just walk crouched and the military dont shoot me. I dont know if in the Original Clear Sky is the same way
@@anomalousdugout9557 Because in Complete Mod, I simply get down my weapon, turn off the light and dont sprint, just walk crouched and the military dont shoot me. I dont know if in the Original Clear Sky is the same way
Me: Nothing scares me, but the LMG at the checkpoint, it scares me! Also, there's a secret money glitch, step one have 200 RU, step 2 is to break the thing step three, you try to repair it then get a grip for it, this would get you -100 (
If you have joined the Loners, you can sometimes buy a SEVA suit from Shilov (loner trader in the Cordon) and both SEVA and exoskelton from Thrush (loner trader in Agroprom). If you are not enemy with the bandits their trader also sometimes sells a SEVA. Lastly, if you still have enough reputation with Clear Sky, their trader might also sell a CS-1 armor, which is probably your best option if you can't get SEVA or exoskelton. The other best armors such as the military SKAT can only be aquired after you get robbed by the bandits. Hope this will help !
Honestly that was the easiest part of the game for me. I just hid behind a rock and a tree and waited till he stopped shooting so I could move from cover to cover and get to the stalker base. (the sirdovoich whatever his name is bunker)
I, for some reason, tried sprint jumping behind trees to the right to kill the gunner with some Ak shots. I actually managed to kill or lure him away with stock AK like this, though you get surrounded by them if you try lol
I dont think this area was designed for you to actually pass, I think its a lesson to the player that some paths are not worth your blood sweat and tears.
I know im late but you can do what anomalous says here or just talk to the guide in the outpost outside the bridge, he can take you to the merchant for only $100
I remember I got tired and said fuck it and did a blitzkrieg and charged at the gunner had shit ton of medkits took the two out in the tower had a long shoot out before they threw two nades because how many people died trying to kill me and died
Seriously the worst part of this games since the Loners wont let me trough Cordon and the only way to befriend them is getting a military med kit...........if I cant manage to get past I might just cheat.
me: i'm gonna do a no-death run!
Soldier: so i started blasting.
Yeah he will ruin your fun, although it is possible to pass him on the very first try, with a lot of luck and skill.

run to big rock, then when he stop shoting run. then go to village. turn left and go to base from front left. there is tree near fence, then crossing fence there are objects next to wall you can jump throught. you will most likely have atleast 150 5,45mm ammo. that base is easy to take down. most soldiers wont notice you and even if they do, if you get out of theyr sight, they forget you. i shot them with ak into back and they havent even turned. take their ammo and guns, after shoting whole base take one corpse. give it all the weapons and carry it to village and store those guns or sell them to sidorovich. this way you can get abakan rifle and 500 5.45mm ammo at start of cordon. and they will respawn so you can farm ammo and rifles to sell there. i alwais did it on highest difficulty.
I'm new to the series, finished only once and I gotta say I just learned how to run past by them haha
question. Once you get to cordon through the wimp route... what next? Loners shoot you if you try to cross the bridge
You can pay Sidorovich to arrange your relations with them.
@@anomalousdugout9557 but you cant get to sidorovich, am i meant to shoot them down?
@@tomaszpawlik5091 Take them down or run past them.
I survived the cordon machine gun
Its easy. Just run.
Basically yeah :)
Every soldier in WW1 be like:
I didn't even realize there was a different route...
That fact that i never thought about going around had landed me in a gunfight with bandits. Odds are Literally 1-23. Im so pissed i never thought about it.
Run side to side. Stick to the left. If need to, wait for the machine to stop shooting as you recover your stamina, then haul ass again.
very useful! thank you brother
You are welcome.
U cant wait for night fall and sneak by?
They will notice you even at night.
It's way worse at night, trust me, I reached it on my first playthrough at night, and I couldn't see shit but they could.
I usually grab an ak with a scope. And kill vova from a distance. It always works for me.
Its my first playthrough today (2024) and I'm here after an hour of fifjrkng them 1 by 1, lol, im gonna keep this method in mind for next time😅😂
I got thru by hiding under the fallen tree and running from there spamming a few medkits
im pretty sure the point of this was to have you realize whats going on and turn around and go to the north entrance
i got pass by just wait behind the tree for like 10 sec for them to claim down
It always feels good to one day when you have proper armor and weapons to just come back to the outpost and kill all the soldiers there especially the machine gunner, a little payback for every playthrough he made me suffer
ah nice to see how it works.I went back into the swamp and then took the north route which also opens once you set foot into Cordon. But I kinda knew this is not how It's supposed to be :D
Yeah, but it also works.
If you can get to the first cover behind rocks you can kill the gunner. You might need an ak though.
Just used this, thanks for the help
You are welcome.
In Complete Mod the difficult to pass the machine gun is different?
Maybe, I don't know.
@@anomalousdugout9557 Because in Complete Mod, I simply get down my weapon, turn off the light and dont sprint, just walk crouched and the military dont shoot me. I dont know if in the Original Clear Sky is the same way

@@theglensilver It is not. I haven't played Complete, but it is known for being much easier than the vanilla games.
Me: Nothing scares me, but the LMG at the checkpoint, it scares me!
Also, there's a secret money glitch, step one have 200 RU, step 2 is to break the thing step three, you try to repair it then get a grip for it, this would get you -100 (
I was able to run from cover to cover, pausing in between for them to stop shooting. was playing on stalker difficulty though
bro do you have any info about how to get one of best armor i eant to spand money before i get rob in mission.
If you have joined the Loners, you can sometimes buy a SEVA suit from Shilov (loner trader in the Cordon) and both SEVA and exoskelton from Thrush (loner trader in Agroprom). If you are not enemy with the bandits their trader also sometimes sells a SEVA. Lastly, if you still have enough reputation with Clear Sky, their trader might also sell a CS-1 armor, which is probably your best option if you can't get SEVA or exoskelton. The other best armors such as the military SKAT can only be aquired after you get robbed by the bandits. Hope this will help !
Is clear sky your favourite game? It seems to me you like it more than SoC😄
It's hard to say. I love both.
Normally I am using the CS-3 heavy armour by then and it helps a lot... but even then it isnt easy.
Yes, true.
Man, I was literally going to uninstall this game before this video. Thanks.
Glad I could help you out.
THANK for the tip man
Honestly that was the easiest part of the game for me. I just hid behind a rock and a tree and waited till he stopped shooting so I could move from cover to cover and get to the stalker base. (the sirdovoich whatever his name is bunker)
Vova Vist legend
I took the northern entrance into the Cordon. I was no Chad.....
I, for some reason, tried sprint jumping behind trees to the right to kill the gunner with some Ak shots. I actually managed to kill or lure him away with stock AK like this, though you get surrounded by them if you try lol
I dont think this area was designed for you to actually pass, I think its a lesson to the player that some paths are not worth your blood sweat and tears.
I use the other way to get to cordon and i had to talk to sido so i walk through the bridge but the loner don't let me get through
You can avoid the loners completely by traversing the embankment in the eastern part of the map. There is just a small fence to jump over.
I know im late but you can do what anomalous says here or just talk to the guide in the outpost outside the bridge, he can take you to the merchant for only $100
@@elickson7340 100 RU my boi
I went to the chad mode since I'm quite impatient
Took me like 3-4 tries
I never got spotted while going through there, weird.
I remember I got tired and said fuck it and did a blitzkrieg and charged at the gunner had shit ton of medkits took the two out in the tower had a long shoot out before they threw two nades because how many people died trying to kill me and died
Wanted: Viva Vist
Reward: Wish grant
I just ran straight left and survived without uding a dingle medkit
That's the way to go.
I never understood the memes because by sheer luck i made it thru on my first try during my playthrough
Seriously the worst part of this games since the Loners wont let me trough Cordon and the only way to befriend them is getting a military med kit...........if I cant manage to get past I might just cheat.
