    Tip: After you kill a bunch of Stalkers save the game before checking their inventories. Weapon quality is random but locked once you open their inventory. So you can save scum your kills till you get a gun you want with a 60% barrel. You can then swap in 100% parts and maintain the barrel with no special toolkits. Just use cleaning kits to bring the overall quality to 100%.

      Good tip if you don't mind cheesing the game. I admit I cheesed & save scummed the fuck out of my first GAMMA playthrough, but on the second playthrough I'm taking it a lot more seriously and daresay it's more fun & immersive, though a lot more difficult.

    The biggest hindrance to getting expert tools is not having enough stashes north of the barrier. You can "create" new stashes with fetch quests. NPCs that give document and package retrieval quests creates a new stash when you accept it. If the NPC is a trader/important, you can save and reload to get a new location. Examples of these quests include -
    1. "Get documents" quests from Barkeep, Dushman, Sakharov, Hermann, Mil boss guy (forgot his name, sorry), etc.
    2. "Package Retrieval" quests - Skinflint, Drug Runner quests from random Freedom stalkers, etc.
    3. "Check Stash" quests from random Loners.
    Like all quests, turning these in also has a chance to give a new stash location. Remember, reloading will reset quests that random stalkers give. Use the save reload trick only for quests from important NPC characters. Or you can reload and walk around a base to see if a random guy has the quest you need.
    .
    FYI - There are at least 3 other stashes I know of before the Gatehouse roof stash in the Radar. Thank you for showing how to get there btw. I remember my first time jumping around for it. Be warned - come prepared. You need the Psy helmet to go beyond the Barrier. Also, you will almost certainly encounter a Chimera or two even before the gatehouse.

    Regarding the stash you showed at 2:32. Doesn't GAMMA's default settings not spawn things in stashes unless you've got that stash marked on your map as part of a quest reward? Or has this changed with a recent update?

    I've never used the anabiotics; I _love_ the thrill of mad-dashing to safety from an impending emission and I feel the anabiotics remove a good deal of that sense of danger and excitement. Though I countered this by significantly reducing how frequently they occur as that also makes them feel a lot more special and spectacular. I strongly believe this game/modpack is meant to be best enjoyed for its immersion* 😁

    Now I could be mistaken about this but in my experience it seems like weapon repair status makes literally no difference if a companion is using the gun.
    There have been shotguns I COULDN'T EVEN GET TO FIRE and my companions were blasting off whole magazines rapid fire.
    Sure they weren't hitting much but I don't think that was due to the gun...
    So try giving your companions the crappy broken weapons that would be good if actually "functional".

      Actually i think you can't use any armor you want. I have tried putting on a monolith exo suit and a Mercenary nosorog and it didn't work. but if I try to put on a hybrid or a ghillie suit it works perfectly. i also tried to apply a basic monolith armor on a rookie. it didn't work. so my theory is that you can only apply certain armors to a NPC that is high enough rank to equip that armour.

    Hey dude. Any tips on early gun to mid guns?

    • @nullmoxy
      @nullmoxy  Год назад

      I recommend the mosin as it only needs the historic repair kit and shoots a powerful round. Most .45 pistols are good for killing mutants early on as you can buy hydrashock for quite cheap at Butcher in Garbage. Otherwise just a shotgun with slugs will do alot.

    • @Fat_Paws
      @Fat_Paws Год назад +1

      #Really early - SMGs/.45 pistols. You can repair most SMGs (even high-tier SMGs) using a Handgun repair tool. Just right click the weapon and use Maintain Parts> Replace for anything that isn't green already. Green parts can be cleaned the same way with a 10% repair kit.
      #Late early to mid - Shotguns, Kar98. Only reason I do not recommend a Mosin is because no vendor sells the ammo before you get at least 500 rep with a Warsaw pact faction. Even then, it is expensive. Mauser rounds are cheaper. But if you do not find a Kar or forester, use what you can get your hands on. An SKS is an excellent gun at this stage. It doubles as a sniper and AR. Decent scope too. You will hopefully have found a basic toolkit by now. The Historical Weapon repair kit - it is cheap to make, and will repair most shotguns, SKS and some snipers. I would add SVT to this list but for some weird reason, it needs an Advanced kit to repair. If you find one with a green barrel, the rest of the parts can be swapped out. Else, the SVT is rather pointless by the time you can repair it.
      #Mid to early late game - any AK-style weapon is preferable, imo. Why? In Gamma, WP and NATO small-bore rifles do similar dmg. However, WP ammo is a lot cheaper and easily available on dead stalkers. You can also buy really cheap HP ammo from Butcher for AKs but not for Nato rifles. Keep an eye out for AK 105, AK-12 Monolith, ISG AK variants, tactical versions of AKs. Modern AKs give wider range of scope options (Piccatiny/weaver rails). Default WP scopes are awful imo. Lasers on weapons that have it can be (de)activated by long pressing the headlamp key (L). Similarly, scopes with Night Vision can be (de)activated with the M key by default. Also, note that in Gamma, the Swamp Thing kit changes the ammo to Nato rounds.
      Shotguns are more of a hindrance at this stage due to their weight. Keep a .45 Hydroshock pistol for dogs, zombies and other low tier mutants. Highly recommend a FN variant or the Korth 6 inch. Deagles are preferred by some players. But fire rate is low and .357 ammo is rarer/expensive. Your secondary weapon should be a Sniper. Ideally silenced/suppressed with an adjustable scope. At some time, switch out the kar/forrester for a better sniper. Mauser ammo is lower dmg and loses its value against targets with good armor.
      Get good armor yourself and start collecting artefacts for late-game crafting.
      #Late game - Community preference is Sniper, Heavy AR or a DMR, and an optional full-auto or droz shotgun. Find and craft powerful artefacts for the late game. More so than weapons, it is the armor that will have the biggest impact. A Nosorog with good attachments makes you practically invincible. Or at least lets you feel invincible until you get multiple RPGs to the face.

      There is no guarantee that there are expert tools in the stash. I was just suggesting an easy to get stash that has a chance of giving expert tools.

    When I check, the field cooking kit can use anywhere. It doesn't require you close to the campfire

      You can open it anywhere but won't be able to craft anything unless you have a fuel source or are near a fire.

      On the surface you can't. I think everywhere underground counts as near a campfire so you can save.
