For instance me as a Mercenary entered an alliance with Freedom, Bandits, and Loners) - Arsenal Overhaul 3.1 (GUNS!!) - Outfit Addon 1.4.7 (Armor) - Smurth's Dynamic HUD (Immersive Animations for Consumables, Configurable HUD, and overlay for helmets/gas maks) - LootMoney (Lets you well loot money from corpses) - Open Scopes for AO 3.1 (Makes the scope overlay for guns better) - WARFIGHTER Realism Addon (A more comprehensive Damage Overhaul compared to Realistic Weapon Damge) - Companions Can Sprint (Essential since Companions are slow as fuck) Not listed are patches to make certain mods work together.

I love all the stories that can be told in The Zone. With how everything is dynamic, anything can happen and everyone's experience and playthrough is different. Even if you start in the same faction in the same location it can be different.
I love the stalker series and believe me I've watched every video on here. This was by far the best one, you captured the essence of why this is a fun game and every point you made was spot on.
Man, definitely try next Anomaly. It's just the definitive STALKER experience, and one of the best and most inspiring experiences i've ever had in general with videogames. It has a 64 bit engine, so no more crashes at all, it's very well balanced, it's has a very well done radio on the PDA, areas are not empty, overall GREAT choices in features and an actual very good and ejoyable story mode.

I never see clips of people playing this with the arsenal overhaul. It might not be a pure stalker experience because some of the guns might be too good, but it's tons of fun. They added dozens of battle rifles that shoot 7.62x51 (HK G3SG1 is the best), they added an M60, L115a3 sniper that shoots 338 lapua, a Vepr 12 shotgun that you can silence, a Bewulf M4 that shoots 12.7mm, tons of new handguns, and lots of ways to upgrade guns with night vision scopes and target finders and stuff.
Hey really love to the video and I'm so happy that you're still making them, honestly this video is absolutely phenomenal and I enjoyed it so much. Thank you very much for making something so worthwhile and insightful. It would definitely be great to see some of the other mods for stalker covered that you were talking about. Regardless, keep up the great work!
Have you tried it in Ironman mode? If you die it deletes all the saves for that character and kicks you to the main menu. It makes every step forward scary
I always played as an ecologist in Oblivion Lost (both OL2.2 and OL2010). My first Anomaly character was an ecologist. 0:14 What's with the exaggerated recoil on the AN-94? That defeats the whole point of its design. Anomaly does a good job with it. The "wrong-handed" reload is tolerable because the mag well is canted to the right, and you're playing as a right-handed character. 4:06 / 29:04 What's the point of reloading "wrong-handed" with a Stoner-based rifle? 10:32 Could be a Zone Sportsmanship Challenge! 10:51 The Type 63 is underrated. With fire rate and recoil reduction upgrades, it rapidly rips mutants apart, even chimeras! 11:37 What kind of grenade launcher is that? Looks like an AG36. An upscale launcher suitable for upscale rifles. IRL, it's made to mount on the G36, but in the Zone, its mount has probably been modified to be more universal. 25:56 / 26:14 Who handles a pumpgun like that?! 🤣 26:14 Why do they keep putting stockless pistol grips on shotguns that have ghost ring sights?! 🤣 26:15 If you've done everything there is to do, then if you wanna, you can try yer hand at Zone Sportsmanship Challenges. 27:25 Insultin' Sultan. He's wearing a long coat (more of a duster than a trench coat) while sitting on a toilet. That reminds me of Street Trash. 29:04 The OG games didn't have any those "wrong-handed" reloads. I know, I know. The Soviet Union used to train its hapless conscripts to reload that way (with AKs, etc.) because the Soviet authorities assumed that common folk were too dumb to exhibit halfway decent trigger discipline. 29:22 A lot of those dumb reload animations were used in Anomaly. GAMMA fixes a lot of that malarkey (but introduces other malarkey like not being able to mount grenade launchers on rifles that should be able to accept them).
X- 16 is NOT the same as in vanilla, first elevetor room there was at five snorks and pseudocats in CoC. Then in the miracle machine room were much more zombies, and even a pseudo gigant and in the controller room where is fangs body there were two pseudodogs and swarm of rodents. By the end of it all my armor was completely broken down and i hat to chage guns a lot because of lack of ammo. Then again I played a story mode so that migh chane.
The predecessor of Anomaly, still better option for low end pc's btw, and also good option to replay the world of stalker at it's fullest for free, and less difficult comparing it to gamma or anomaly 👍
Play OGSR ASAP! One of the best mods, with the finest combat, really good companions that are effective in combat and great, original quests. Its based off of SOC with a ton of new and interesting quests and changes.
I wish I could, but I already played this mod like 5 months ago and forgot what mods I used since I didnt write them down, sorry :(. I only remember that most of them were the most popular ones from Moddb.
Skytts one questions I install CoC and i don't find Normal npc (except quest giver, trader and important npc) anywhere ? And did i miss some files ? or npc will populate eventually ?
People still talking about Anomaly GAMMA but personally i like CoC more than vanilla Anomaly itself. I like its simplicity, feels like vanilla Stalker for me. I have playing Anomaly since December 2022, less than 1 years, but already getting bored.
what mods do you use for CoC? i like anomaly but i reallllly dont like its crafting system, and some of the changes to the world, but vanilla CoC is a little too bare for me. im looking for a good medium
Yes it is! It’s the only reason I got the mod myself. I own a SKS and I always felt it was the perfect rifle for the zone. Good luck though, 7.62x39 in the mod can be really expensive
@@stuglife5514 I've installed and I'm pretty happy with it! It's a shame the SKS is so poorly animated compared to other additions. But hey, as long as the rifle works, I'm happy.

You should change your fire mode to semi-auto when engaging an enemy far away. It really helps with the recoil and bullet saving.
Honeslty I mostly use semi auto and never switch to full auto unless I’m having to shoot a dude in the same room as me
