Thanks to you guys, there are some Updates on some of the items in the video! ❤ 1. Valik Lummox‘s AK will only spawn if you talk to the bartender in Zalissya first and accept his side quest right next to the water tower. After that you can proceed as shown in the video. 2. The Weird Ball artifact actually has 2 negative effects: For every damage you take it slowly gets heavier, weighing you down. You have to unslot and reslot the artifact after taking a lot of damage to negate the effect. And it seems to attract the moving lightning ball anomalies. They seem to chase you when you have it equipped. Just take it out when you encounter them. 3. Repairing Skif‘s Pistol is free until you upgrade it (which you definitely should!). Then it costs a tiny amount of coupons, which is almost negligible. Just wanted to clarify. 4. The Bonus Item technically isn‘t in the Lesser Zone anymore. As you obtain it during the mission, that sends you out of the Lesser Zone and into Garbage. But more importantly you only get this mission when you give the Warden Sensors to Richter during the „Needle in a Haystack“ mission. This should NOT influence your decision though, as you can get the item a second time a little bit further down the road! If more comes up, I‘ll add it here. Thanks again for pointing this stuff out 👌
Also a missable item is the Ozk's Explorer Suit in the basement of the Sphere although it is fairly obvious. Its on a table near the Solder's room. Best base protection in the lesser zone
Lummox's ak has a quirk where it can jam even with 100% condition. Once you get to garbage, there is a posp scope in a stash on the fallen crane next to scrap heap. Throw that on drowned if you kept it or any akm 74s and you will have the same setup without the hiccups. Or just keep using lummox's for the memes
I had the same thing with other guns. They just randomly jam on 100%. It happened couple of times with different guns, not lummox ak though. I guess it's just a bug
The Weird Ball also attracts the floating lightning anomolies. So if you find that they are hitting you like heat seeking missiles take the ball off and they'll go back to their standard pattern.
@@TheGameSenseiYT It might be that other artifacts have this effect as well, but the ball is the only "super artifact" I've found yet, and it definitely does this, lol.
Damn, i am 40 hours in, and i found the mentioned 10 items on my own. But never found the extended magazine for the AK weapon. I am almost at the end of the game and still use the AK for headshots XD
Wow, great video without any unnecessary rambling👍🏼 Thats rare theese days! I missed the flower and the mag for the ak, so gonna head south again now that i finished garbage to pick ot up😊
Missed the suit! I bloody knew there had to be something behind all that gas but wasn't brave enough to try running through it after the events beforehand. Missed the flower also, but I can forgive that, it's quite small! 😂
@@jumblestiltskin1365 I saw a video that there's these long set of trains connected and there's a suite in one of them and it's got the psi damage buff
I already found all the items you mentioned aside from the suit, but this video gave me peace of mind in knowing I didnt miss anything cricial in the lesser zone 👍
there definitely is more, but I found those the most important items :) maybe will do another video with all the items sometime. but first I‘ll be covering the other zones 👍
To make it simple make sure you leave the starting zone as soon as possible grab the AR grab the weird flower and make sure you grab that strange ball and it's effect is reduced bullet DMG and that you gain weight and move more slowly when you are shot. Explore after you get into garbage zone Go to slaggy go there grab ammunition or whatever you need not explore north northeast to concrete zone. And grab the vector along the way. A good ammo hungry weapon with mid to decent DMG and penetration. Explore first and second. As faction relationships change rapidly with how they spawn due to AI life being broken.
Thinking about it I think it's a little bugged because the weight increase happens with melee attacks aswell I wonderd alot why suddenly mid fight I was getting slower xD
having a great time with Stalker 2. Really looking forward to A-Life 2.0 and will do a 2nd playthrough Does killing Pomor by the Poppy Fields have any negative effects later on in the game?
Hmm I did a silly - that story mission bit you mentioned at the end, I accidentally skipped it 😬 you see, I was hiking near the military base where Solder is hiding/being kept (didn’t remember he was in there, although somebody mentioned it earlier) and they started shooting at me randomly. One thing led to another and 30ish dead soldiers later, I was deep in the base having a chat with him and definitely missed out some story bits. Whoops! Shit happens I guess 😅 will have to look up that enviro suit location, I think it’s the thing I missed, besides the artifacts because anomalies are quite intimidating
Dude I did the exact same thing! Thought I was just farming guns and looting the military base, and like you ended up underground (a door locked behind me forcing me to continue forward).
@ the door thing happened to me too, I tried to leave and it just locks behind you for some reason? I did get very carried away with just storming that base though 😅 no worries, I’m sure that won’t come back to bite us in the arse later…😬
Hi, many thanks for posting the finds. About 3:57, you mention marking something "on your map" in my opinion. Please explain how to mark something on the map. Thanks and Regards JB
I read about this. could be some of the free DLC that should come inbetween launch and the first expansion. I wouldn’t expect the binoculars before A-Life is somewhat fixed though.
I believe for the AK with the scope you first have to talk to the barkeeeper to get the first mission from him to spawn that in. If you just go there and don't activate that side quest it won't spawn
@@Prof.Pwnalot I just received the key to leave a minute ago, granted I've done a lot of side exploration and found a fair bit of this list already, but I think you're just being a downer for no reason. If you truly believed the video was that bad you wouldn't have watched and commented?

@ not sure about the side quest, feel like I have it, the gun is there, I pick it up, check my inventory and it’s not there , I did save the guy the gun is named after I believe
@KonradBeezo yeah, then you got the side quest. that‘s weird that it disappears when you pick it up. haven’t heard about it yet. have you tried instead of picking it up, equipping it right off the ground by holding the button?
have you sided with the Wardens? I think then you won‘t have that mission. At least that’s what I‘ve read in some of the replies (sorry, I didn’t know that before)
@@TheGameSenseiYT Maybe i’m just not far enough yet. I have met Scar i think, but only just… and yeah i mostly sided with the Wardens so far (showed them the PDA first and gave them the scanners).
@ I went through the southern area, just north of the southern boundary wall. And this was a bit after I finished the intro. Maybe it was closed off to at some point but my point still stands I got a bunch of sweet gear early on.

Weird ball and weird nut are op

Throw that on drowned if you kept it or any akm 74s and you will have the same setup without the hiccups. Or just keep using lummox's for the memes
I have to say it never… never! jammed on me, except when I couldn’t repair it for quite some time and it wore down to red condition.
I noticed this and wondered what the fu¢k was going on
I had the same thing with other guns. They just randomly jam on 100%. It happened couple of times with different guns, not lummox ak though. I guess it's just a bug
I noticed the same thing I was like I just repaired it! There’s no way 🤣
All this grinding for shite that degrades after 2 minutes.
I must admit the Ukrainian Dev's must've drank too much of that good water.
The Weird Ball also attracts the floating lightning anomolies. So if you find that they are hitting you like heat seeking missiles take the ball off and they'll go back to their standard pattern.
is that so??? that would explain a lot LMAO…

Well that explains alot 😂😂😂 thanks
I found it kept getting me worse with the weird flower in the slot too
I'd like 2 give 2 honorable mentions to the sniper found in the complex just above the rad sign storage. And the guitar in hamsters building

That AK with the scope on single fire + mad stick drift on Xbox = a wild time!
😅
maybe use MnK on XBOX for now?
@ don’t have! Just gonna hold tight for it to get patched!

@levibull6063 yeah it does. I was very much overweight when I got stuck in place after I was hit by a Bloodsucker.
Including the SSP-99 suit is a bit misleading because you don't get that until after you've left the Lesser Zone.
it‘s the mission that leads you out of the zone. but technically it‘s in Garbage. that’s true 👍
Letting anyone who doesn’t know, the weird ball makes lightning ball anomalies follow you.
Bruh
But lightning anomalies sometimes already follow you? I think this is connected to something else, or it's just one of several things.
@laglord maybe it‘s artifacts in general?
@ I’m just saying, ever since I took of the weird ball, I haven’t had a problem with lightning ball anomalies.
@ that’s what I thought too, but when I had the weird flower equipped, the none of them followed me.
having a great time with Stalker 2. Really looking forward to A-Life 2.0 and will do a 2nd playthrough
Does killing Pomor by the Poppy Fields have any negative effects later on in the game?
I am 43hrs in and so far it hadn’t for me.
But I definitely don’t know for sure.
That ecologist suit is lit, ive used it since i was like 4 hrs into the game, really early mission. Im like 20 hrs in now.
keep up the good work man !!! :)
glad you liked it! 🫡

lots of new stuff for the second playthrough 😅👍👍
Upgrading skifs pistol causes it to cost to repair but its cheap as hell.
After the AR complete upgrade I did the pistol next those are my main weapons I use
Just commented the same thing lol. Great minds! 😅
ok ,thanks ,was wondering why my pistol costs me $$ to repair when he says its free
In the farm just up the road from the first base you encounter, I found a gas mask in a stash.
The Ecologist suit is not in the Lesser Zone, it is in Garbage and you can only obtain it if you sided with Richter.
Thanks for the information
@mradicsh No it‘s not. there is a second one with Richter.
But you can obtain it in the Mission at the Sphere in Lesser Zone.
@@TheGameSenseiYTthis is correct 👍🏼
@TheGameSenseiYT Your video of where to obtain it is from Answers Come at a Price in the Factory in Garbage, not The Sphere.
@@ohnoitisnt666 The OZK Explorer's Suit is obtained in the Sphere, not the one referenced in this video.
Correction repairing Skiffs pistol does cost to repair. But it's fairly low cost compared to other weapon repairs.
You’re pretty confidently incorrect. It’s free until you upgrade it. Only then does it cost anything.
Hi, many thanks for posting the finds. About 3:57, you mention marking something "on your map" in my opinion. Please explain how to mark something on the map. Thanks and Regards JB

@dav2490 THIS 👆
I cannot wait till the wild islands, zaton and swamp item guide!!
they are in the making! ❤️
Don’t forget the ar416 I think that’s the name. It’s at the bottom in the military checkpoint but it has a lot of enemies so be careful
yeah. but it‘s hard to get when you‘re just starting + there is almost no ammo for it in lesser zone and garbage.
Great set of videos! Use some time stamps next time please! Just trying to find a section of your video to watch again.
I used time stamps.
check the video description!
//in fact, I use them on all my videos.
But you‘re right… for some reason they don‘t get added to the video.
In my newest video it works just like intended. 😳
nice! u got a sub.
glad you liked it and welcome to the zone, stalker! 👋
I would like to meantion, if you upgrade Skifs Makarov it will no longer be free to repair. Still cheap though!
Apparently, Data miners found the code for binoculars and night vision so they should be adding these in the future. Hopefully soon.
I read about this. could be some of the free DLC that should come inbetween launch and the first expansion.
I wouldn’t expect the binoculars before A-Life is somewhat fixed though.
Thx brother you help me a lot😂

Nice.
You can squat and walk around the edges of the glass shards unharmed.
You can just slow walk „X“ on PC.
I got the ar 416 but where can I buy the 5.56 ammo. The traders in lesser don’t sell them
that‘s another problem with the gun. the ammo is very uncommon until later in the game.
In which region are you currently stalking the Zone? Have you collected all the essential Items in the Lesser Zone already?
Wicked Island right now..The ball arifact was super annoying to get, i died about 6-7 times

I found all of this by my self I’m proud
🙌
Can you get the ssp-99 suit after the mission? I tried to enter again, they Key-Pad is green, but door is locked :(
I don’t think so. but there is another one shortly after.
It‘ll be in an upcoming video 👍
Are there any artifacts that are not so good that we should sell? I noticed they are worth a lot of money
I keep one of everything and sell duplicates
Can I get the suit if I missed it the first time around?
yes :)
Thank you I'm going back for it
What about the viper drum mag near the first location?
By the water tower
@ parking lot east of radiation hazard signs storage near a broken down truck just off to the right if it behind some wooden boxes in a duffle
Wait you still get the AR even if you kill Pomor? I checked the locked room that opens with the key you take off his body and didn't find anything
Well you get the AR first and then do the thing 🤷♂️

can‘t confirm. haven’t had a single game breaking bug 45hrs into the game.
The Ak and scope sucks. Use some irons on another, throw an extendo on it and call it a day if you aim like a god.
