    For experienced players I can highly recommend the ironman mode with the wish granter option. Deletes your saves when you die, but you get 1 additional life every survived 24 ingame hours or so. Really makes you think twice about what risks to take when. Best survival experience I had in a long time.

    • @Drummaniac17
      @Drummaniac17 Год назад +16

      Ironman sounds like a cool and exciting idea, until the moment the game decides to fuck you.
      Maybe a strategy is to rack up your additional lives before doing loot runs, but going through a level transition and loading in front of a pack of dogs that rip you to shreds before you can react is a shitty way to have your save file deleted.

    Great video exept SHIFT keybind, it's not conflicting with your run button because it's only for inventory usage, purpose is, to hold down shift and hover over items to drop them or to put into stash or grab items of corpses quickly

  • @spanners7343
    @spanners7343 Год назад +5

    Another tip about repair: Keep any gun parts that are 60% or over as they can bee repaired to 100% using simple items like files or your muli-tool same for armor parts over 50%

  • @darkerdaemon7794
    @darkerdaemon7794 Год назад +7

    Yeah, just use the respective gun kits to maintain gun parts, don't do it through the tools or crafting menus. Even though it uses a use of your kit, it's far easier to buy a kit than hunt down that perfect condition gun part you need. You can use ramrods and files to fix certain gun parts though, but there's so much more needed to fix guns up through workbenches versus just right clicking and maintaining parts with their respective kits.

    one of the most important things to know is that getting basic tools is very easy, you simply need to find and give a toz-194 (does not matter if the gun is broken or not) and 20 buckshot ammo to hip and she will give the player basic tools, 20 bottles of nemiroff vodka in yantar to the food/drink supplier (forgot the name) will also give the player basic tools, getting advanced toolkits is easy, just buy stashes locations until you're lucky to find one or craft 5 basic toolkits and 5 metallic scrap to have an advanced toolkit, expert toolkits are hard to find, really hard, they will have to be found either by killing stalkers and viewing pda stashes, by completing some jobs, anything that gives stashes locations from Limansk to the north will have some probability to have one, specially in Outskirts, in the Outskirts alone, 2 stashes locations i searched both had expert toolkits...found one in the red forest also but that was pure luck...field armour toolkits can be used to repair outfit parts (the parts you loot not the ones in your own suit), scientific stimpaks are awesome later in game, they will give some post healing also, fentanyl, antidote, vinca, ibuprofen are very valuable drugs, and one thing i always have with me is morphine ampoules, they will let you carry about 22Kg more stuff, that is a lot....if you can find a specific artifact that is the whispering stone it will give some psy protection and burn protection without radiation output or negative side effects, very valuable artefact....the deer hunter .338 sniper is definitely the best sniper in game, upgraded it will have an accuracy rating of more than 100%, hits very hard and the bullet travels very fast, gauss hits harder but ammo is scarce since only Spore sells gauss ammo...

    good vid. Incidentally, the MAX carry weight is actually not completely unrealistic in Gamma so no qualms about leaving that on max lol. The stamina and sprinting capabilities are always something I have to tone down though. Especially Groks 'gotta go fast' which allows you to practically sprint full pelt with a 70kg pack right across a map lmao. That's just silly but as you say, tweak the game as you see fit and that's what all the options are there for you to do. Fantastic game, fantastic modding community.

    8:29 That would be, Proper. Not, "Propper". I can't fault you for it, though. Most similar words do follow the doubling of the consonant trend. Words such as, "Stopper, Shopper, Hopper, Popper" etc. These words are all verbs, though. They denote an action. Whereas, "proper" is an adjective. Usually. I'm not trying to be the grammar police. Just trying to be helpful. I know I, personally like to be corrected. It's how we learn and improve ourselves. You should never get upset or offended by someone attempting to help you broaden your knowledge base.

    Cool tips and thanks for the vid... For any disassembly other than breaking down of guns for their barrel I generally just field strip the parts to be more efficient and spare my multi tool.. I also drag my grooming kits onto whatever I want to disassemble (except guns) as they tend to be quite common and stack up quick in the inventory 😅 another cool tip for newbies is the blue powder can items can be disassembled to obtain gunpowder for ammo crafting once you find gunsmithing tools and are able to do so👍Good hunting, Stalkers!🔫

    3:05 Those kinds of elitists are usually a given with formerly lesser known series like Stalker. Most of them I doubt are true to their word and only play vanilla. They're the sorts of people who need to feel special and separate from everyone else.
    Bunch of new players discovering Stalker through Anomaly? Well they aren't TRUE fans like I am because I started with vanilla. I onLy PLaY VanILLa, AnOmALy Is RuIniNg StALkER. Oh, GAMMA is popular? Well they aren't TRUE fans because they didn't start with Shadow of Chernobyl like I did.
    They've been doing this shit from the start. I remember Misery getting a bunch of needless hate because it "wasn't vanilla" and was attracting new players. The more people who learn about Stalker the less special it makes these sorts of people feel. When Stalker 2 releases they'll say it sucks because it's not like vanilla, which these elitists totally never deviate from, ever.

    As a complete noob there was a lot of stuff that initially put me off of Anomaly and some of the larger packs like EFP or GAMMA. There always seemed to be something that was just too much or too little making it seem like a deal breaker to a new entry. Realizing just how insanely customizable it all is was a real eye opener if not a bit mind blowing. You can customize the base Anomaly itself and nearly each individual mod in it. Its layers of customization on top of layers of customization. Now nothing really puts me off at all anymore but I manage to mangle my game experience tweaking values I have no business touching. Think I've lost hours in that keybind menu alone:)

    A little info about the Armor and Guns repairing :
    Repairing a GUN is different than repairing an armor !
    When you repair an armor, you just repair the whole armor (vest, suit, etc.) and it automaticaly repairs it's parts.
    But! When you repair a whole gun, it will only clean the gun itself, but the parts will remain damaged. To repair it's parts you need special repair items that tells you that you can repair gun parts with them.
    It is important to keep your gun clean as it lowers the degradation of parts in it.

    Your menus look insanely different from mine .. but I mostly left the gameplay settings vanilla, aside from turning off the fast travel cost. It didn't make much sense to me immersion wise why it would cost money to travel but I left the time progression while traveling on. I use limited bolts too but I turned on the stealth mode setting after I realized trying to take on a military base as a stealth sniper even so far that I needed to scope in entirely and was still getting shot back at and pressed up on, shit had to go. It's only slightly more forgiving now but you'll still get spotted after a few shots.
    I have been hoarding my artefacts and not using them tbh, even having the artefact melter now. I just don't mess with them but dang, I have been through my menus several times and still never saw that I could adjust my carry weight! Definitely going to up that because I'm basically always 10 kilos from being over even having a 175 kilo carry capacity now, and most of it is absolutely essentials. I could probably carry around less meds but they aren't even that heavy in the first place.

    Usually when you loot mutants you only need to have a knife in your inventory. NOT equipped let alone actually in your hand.
    I just found out you can in fact loot birds. If you find crows flapping around on the ground after an emission hits, you can loot them as normal despite them being seemingly alive. But you need to have your knife actually equipped. Possibly in your hand too. Otherwise you get a message saying you need a knife.

      ​@@BasedBellagio Actually, given the setting, yes.
      Short answer: The soviets made a ton of steel-cased ammo and it's very common in Russia because it's cheap and comparatively durable.
      Long answer:
      Most ammo in the west is brass cased. Brass is corrosion resistant and malleable. It deforms evenly, predictably, and forms a nice chamber seal. This reduces fouling. You can also reload brass casings because of this. However, brass is more expensive than steel.
      The soviets cased ammo with steel to cut costs, and because steel puts up with more abuse than brass. Steel ammo puts up with aggressive extraction systems better because of this. Most Russian guns have a rough extraction system, because they were made with steel cased ammo in mind, and because it's probably just easier to make it like that (Proper tuning can remove this issue).
      Steel casings can't be reloaded, and it tends to foul the gun up more because it doesn't deform as much. This is less of an issue with loose-tolerance soviet surplus rifles. Additionally, steel cased ammo has a reputation of being worse in general. Technically speaking, there is no physical reason for this. Practically, because it's often chosen to cut costs, steel cased ammo is usually manufactured with worse quality control.

    WHAT....DUDE LShift to run CAN be done with LShift and to "drop" with same key.
    AGR the 1st 2 are already "General" for Stalker. the 3th NO YOU DON'T CHANGE THE SETTING FOR RUN IN MCM. CHANGE the key IN THE NORMAL SETTING not MCM
    That just Misinformation
