One way you can minimize AI movement and disable their flashlights so you can use NVG's is to set them to Stealth mode, their slower but they remain crouched so you can shoot over them and their flashlights will remain off
Doming a companion in the back of the head because they walked in front of you? I felt that. P.S. That Vector is incredible. Melts mutants with the .45 or more versatile with 9. eats ammo like a fat kid eats cake though.
You can fix that weird sound bug (I have it too since I played EFP and all the GAMMA releases) by disabling the "Hit effects" add-on in MO2. That's it! That mod doesn't do nothing spectacular, so go for it without even thinking. And yes, it's possible to survive a Psy-emission, IF your gear and/or belt attachments (usually artifacts) gives you enough psy protection. So you are not going to play all the 4 parts of GAMMA? What a shame... But the fact you will play the trilogy is pure gold! Keep up your amazing videos bro.
Lmao I'm the guy who told you about the psy storms. It's 100% true, the only thing you need to avoid are the lightning ball anomalies as those will straight up destroy you through any armor. But the psy damage itself can be mitigated entirely just with an SSN-09 helmet.
Companions just don't work very well in any underground section. You have to micromanage them with Num 1 - Num 4 (iirc) to avoid stupid situations. In the CNPP they can at least rush forward and shoot stuff, which might still be helpful. In many X-labs they just get stuck early on and do basically nothing. Also, perfect cliffhanger! Everybody knows exactly why you had to pause at exactly this ladder ;)
The gun Strelok was holding is thr SIG SG 550-1 Sniper. Its not that good as its quite slow firing and high recoil but damn if you aim for the head the AP rounds kill good. There are much nicer variants with canted sights and scopes and full picatinny rails and full auto with 905 rpm rof when fully upgraded
Love your vids so far man! I suggest you to use AP ammo instead of the normal FMJ against Monolith and Sin members cause they have lots of armor (Also they are useful against any type of armored opponent) and in GAMMA AP ammo in very much needed when going north
I'm on my first "current patch" playthrough, and FMJ just feels bad against everything north of Army Warehouses. Maybe Sin members in Leather Jackets just have more health, but everybody else is probably still armored. Switching to the best ammo for each armor isn't always possible, especially when engaging multiple enemies, so I'd say AP ammo definitively has priority. For mutants there is always 45HS.
I watch your videos but I don't understand anything because I don't know almost anything in English, but your narration makes everything more interesting lol. Stalker was the first game I played on a pc, a notebook to be exact with only 2gb of ram, but that's over :'( when I can buy a new one, preferably a notebook (lenovo idea pad gaming 3i) it will be the first thing I do play again, but in the meantime I'm here watching your walk 🫡🫂🍿🍿 Good Hunting Stalker!
You can actually change settings for auto loot if I'm not mistaken. All the things you've said you'd want to have when looting - u can make it that way.
Strelok using best 5,56 weapon in the STALKER universe. Get one in Shadow of Chernobyl and you won the game. Taking "Lost Signal" missions in big maps like Zaton and Jupiter is bad idea - you could wander around for hour or more, only to waste time and ammo/resources for peanut reward. Sounds glitches and frame drops happens when you land hit so good it puzzles the game
Taking "Lost Signal" missions in big maps like Zaton and Jupiter is bad idea - if you do it right away, because the dead squad won't spawn. Leave the map, enter it again and check your PDA (upgraded) for corpses. And you can be done with it in 2 minutes.
7:44 SIG SG550-1. Semi-auto police-style precision rifle, but not a "sniper" rifle, per se (since it's 5.56). 17:52 I challenge you to battle a chimera using an ax while wearing no armor. And you're only allowed to strike it while it's in the air. And yes, that counts as a Zone Sportsmanship Challenge (of demented do0m a go go).
Concerning the save thing, if you want to play with the campfire saving on, but for whatever reason you want to force save: open console (\) and type "save" "name of the save". Easy peasy.
Oh, also the campfire save mod has a function in it that lets you do a "Daddy save", you hold shift and press f5 and it works like a normal quicksave no campfire necessary. It has like a five minute cooldown. I like it a lot, and idk if you were privy to it, no shame for turning it off.
I think he hasn't got YACS enabled, so it's not like it matters. Edit: Oh yeah, I just got to the part where he said it, I reacted after the crash, my bad.
Good to know by the way, I disabled YACS too before I figured that out. Those lag spikes are because of the bloated stashes. They always happen close to loading zones, so I usually keep my main stash in a relatively safe map. Rostok mostly.
i hate raiding the cnpp due to the companions blending in with the monolith just running around like headless chickens in these tight and long hallways XD. thats why if i run with companions i usually just have 1, max 2 if i want to. i love these series, its so much fun watching u go through the game and experiencing it for urself. are u going to do the other story missions after the main one or no?
IIRC Num 1 - Num 3 are the shortcuts for companion behavior. As I have the num-pad right next to my mouse, I find it easy to access and use it almost all the time. Companions are still pretty useful, but sadly you need to micro-manage them and sometimes they are limited by the AI nav-mesh (eg getting stuck early in Miracle Machine or go crazy in the tunnels back in Yantar.) You "just" have to babysit them and order "hold fire" and "wait here" at the appropriate times, so they don't run off somehow and get killed. I think the best way of thinking about companions (generally speaking, disregarding their limitations in the X-labs): You're still somewhat of a one-man-army and you can call those guys in, if you manage them properly. And believe it or not, in all my Anomaly/Gamma playthroughs, Hip was the first NPC to ever follow me into the Brain Scorcher control room. Every other NPC always got stuck at some arbitrary doorway. I don't think that's intentional, but FML don't underestimate your companions! Bring tuna! :D
It's nice to follow your series, cause i started playing gamma 2 weeks ago and i could be where you are, BUT i am on the third run right now, cause the other two were "unplayable due to "bugs" 😂. The last one was pretty sad. I only say lab x 19....
If you can add other mods to gamma then you should get the one where companions get downed and you can give them a medpack or let their health recharge. Makes things alot easier
If you want a large caliber rounds without going broke then collect Nemirof vodka. Every time you will be around trader that sells vodka, buy it. After while when you get your first large calibre weapon, you go to Yantar and trade off all your vodka to PKM rounds from chef trader. I got more than 600 hundred rounds after trade off and was wiping every one with yellow 7.62-54.
would love to see an ironman run if you finish the original trilogy early and need something in between to play before STALKER 2 comes out i think that would be a good way to have a short fun before you end up dying and then hopefully have your character live long enough to see the birth of STALKER 2 😂😂
I always leave the companions behind in here they are a nightmare, between this mission and raid the radar i think there is very little difference on the scale of epic video game missions except maybe the sniper mission in cod 4.
I can’t believe I went there yesterday myself, there were 62 monolith in that first area🥲 once you get up that ladder and go to the next area, there’s just as many. And I’ll let you know, when you go back between the areas, mutants spawn in. When I was trying to go back there was so many blood/psysuckers and a poltergeist that was impossible to find. I didn’t die once to the dozens of monolith but I died a good half a dozen times to that poltergeist. Also probably should’ve waited until I had that mission, I was just curious as to what was up there. Now I’ll have to do it again with the companions
You can exit to NPP North, no need to get back through Sarc and the gate to NPP South is just to the left of you if you don't want to deal with the Monolith around the campfires or the ones on the rooftop to the north.
afteer you take the long stairway up , squeeze in the rooms in the middle of circular hallway, and you will find a ladder up to a huge dark space inside the concrete hull .that poltergeist is at the end of the climb ,next to the wish granter.
@@kamesennin4444 I got that. It's just safer to exit through CC if you cleared both Sarc and CC, even though there are some Monolith as you exit, there's a huge concrete fence separating you from them, so you can sneak back to South NPP because the gate is right there, like 30 meters away.
@Qloud Wow Gamma's ai is very forgiving it seems. You can shoot an exo in the head and he just ignores it for a while. I'm playing gamma with wardogs and if I shoot anyone in the head and it doesn't kill them they immediately start looking around.
every time i watch your videos, i get motivation to step back into the zone, thank you for the great content will we see a second playthrough of stalker anomaly at some point (assuming the series ends after part 2 of cnpp)? maybe EFP or expedition modpack? or will you start uploading different games?
Double spoiler alert: 1/2 There will be a questline after the CNPP raid. 2/2 Completing the aforementioned questline will unlock a new faction with a unique storyline, which would require a new game. It's often considered a hard start, so it could still be an interesting series, albeit a few hours shorter.
I'm not sure about that, never tried it. But if I'm caught outside far from cover, I just find a hole or pipe to crawl into and pop an anabiotic. Works for psy-storms and emissions too. 45 minutes of blackout without dying.
I was wondering if you modified anything graphics wise through the mods or you added a mod yourself. I am facing an issue where far horizons get a weird fog and trees have an unnatural blackness to them. The discord channel didn't really help, so I was wondering if it looked the same to you.
Yes the game has multiple missions and storyline depending on which faction you join. The story is not as coherent as the original games but it's still nice
I never played anomaly or gamma only the original trilogy, is this the vanilla version of gamma or you put addons yourself? Also how could you carry almost 200kg lmao

Downside being, they can't shoot over you. NPCs can shuffle into odd positions and you really need to keep an eye on it to avoid friendly fire.
It is sad to see gamma getting ready to wrap up but this has been a great mf series super hyped to see you play the whole stalker series
No need to worry, there's still the Mortal Sin and Afterglow storylines.
my progression is surprisingly in sync with qloud, and i can tell you theres still quite a bunch big missions to do after this

I think he was saying he wanted multiple keybinds for different settings rather than just a catch all.
