no, the hardest achievment is completionist which requiers you to get all the other achievments in the game including invictus, so you need to geet invictus + survive 25 emissions and 25 psy storms + kill 500 stalker + visit all 33 regions of the zone + spend 5 hours undercover while being watched + smash 100 boxes + get 1000000 RUB, etc...
True. But no one brags about that. I’ve never heard anyone go “Well I’ve gotten all achievements on GAMMA”. It’s always Invictus that people will lie and cheat over. I’ve seen so many streamers with their camera and stuff over the bottom right to hide the “DEMO” debug mode and when you call them you they either ban you or stop streaming. I’ve also seen people install extra mods to bypass the Invictus requirements and make the game waaaay easier for themselves. Not to mention on default settings it wasn’t possible to do the shoot down a helicopter achievement until recently with the new quest add on.
I got the Invictus achievement without cheating after many attempts in Gamma 0.9.1 or whatever the version from before December 2024 was called. It boils down to avoiding unnecessary risks, abusing meds that reduce incoming damage, getting the Ace suit from the mercenaries (you don't even need an exoskeleton to do it), using various mutant skins/pelts and artefacts in the 5 slots, so that you get maximum protection from bullets and melee attacks. You then stock up on ammo for your favourite guns and it's smooth sailing from there. The most difficult parts are not dying to a pack of dogs, cats or boars in early game and shutting down the Brain Scorcher. Edit: Also, in that version of Gamma, a Seraphim artefact could literally revive you, if you got shot to death, if you had it equipped on your belt slot. Phantom Star could make you invisible for about 90 seconds, Moss + eating raw Bloodsucker meat or Psysucker meat could also make you invisible until you perform a "hostile action", but I found the Moss + Bloodsucker meat combo to be unreliable, because you will become visible again for no apparent reason and eating raw Bloodsucker meat will randomly damage one of your body parts. So, if you got 2 Phantom Stars, you could get in and out of the Brain Scorcher without firing a single shot, if you timed it right.
@@ukarma5887Keep killing Mercs at Wild Territory and Army Warehouse whenever its possible, and after a while some mercs with Master+ Rank will starting spawn, and with scavenger lvl14+ you will probably acquire it, and if you want to cheat it out, when you kill one that has the Ace armor (it easily spotable because their model is different, it's a Scientific Suit with a overcoat) use Daddy Save before check his inventory and save scum till the Ace armor shows up in his inventory, it works with any gear even NOSOROG, I don't like to do it because it is, well..., cheating, but still a method 🤷♂️.
Shout-out to the madmen who Invictus back when mutants could stunlock and boars had damn near 180° attacks. It used to be significantly more dangerous to fight multiple boars early game than to 1v1 a chimera with the starter knife. 🔪
Currently attempting it, game is actually so much better when you have to think everything through, havent even beat the gamr normally so its been a ride, most runs end in AW so i cant imagine how difficult the north will be. (Have gotten to the north before but that was 9.1 on a normal run)
Phantom Star is your friend when dealing with the Brain Scorcher. Get as close as possible, put it on and run in. Even easier if you have more then one, of course. That being said, I've never tried an Invictus run but will one day. Maybe when 1.0 is out.
@@Venoxium I think I read on the Discord that you can merge two perk artefacts of the same kind. But you really only need 30 seconds so it doesn't have to be 100%. When the road ends from Radar, you can put it on, run to the wall and on the left side there is a tree you can run across, jump down on the other side of the wall and run in to the tunnel. If the Phantom Star afterwards is depleted its easier imo to fight the monolith on the way out. There is far more cover in the tunnel before the train cart and it becomes sort of a kill box. And if all else fails you can retreat back in to the Brain Scorcher.
I remember going througg brain scorcher with phantom star and one was enough if you don't use it in parts where its not necessary but two should do the job
Hey nice video. I’m new to Gamma, how did you get your game to look like that smooth? After the 9.3 shader update, my game is either a flashbang or complete darkness. Would love a setting/mod video please!
No. Anomaly and GAMMA are standalone experiences. But I’d still recommend buying the OG games most of the time it’s on sale for just $10 and there’s a lot of amazing mods that you can use with the old games too that are really fun.
You can, but good luck lol. Most of the time the game doesn't give you enough time to reload. The second your HP hits 0 & you have no more lives it instantly deletes all that characters saves.
How to remove the Lucifer? Is there anyway to do it in the debug menu? I activated the lucifer but now my life is miserable, and I don't feel like artifacts farming. I already put a lot of hours into this run, don't want to start over.
When playing as Merc you Loners normally become friendly after the Brain Scorcher but I haven't done a Loner playthrough for this update yet. Everyone else is saying after Defend the Barrier.
the knot should be excluded from use for the Invictus qualifications honestly, and not everyone uses it because of how cheat-y it feels, i know i and a few others dont
Wish gamma had a mood/stress system in which we can regulate the character's moods, imagine eating a chocolate after a shootout or smoking a cigarette while watching the sunrise to improve your mood I don't like how the character just grunts from pain and that's it, at least some buffs/debuffs with icons Eating sweets or drinking beer/vodka gives you +5 happines or getting paid after a job inproves you mood too, maybe someone will do it just like the cold system
Afaik there's a mod that does that. You take psy dmg constantly when outside, when in a fight. You replenish it by standing near a campfire, drugs, playing harmonica/guitar and porn mags. Bad news is it rebalances vodka and cigs to remove radiation reduction so early and mid game are hell.
Invictus doesn't restrict commands. But obviously if you're doing a legit Invictus playthrough then you should only use it in cases of emergencies like being stuck etc. Like I normally use the commands to drop a hard save during Operation Afterglow when you must rescue Rogue, cause he gets stuck a lot.
How do you make the zone look not dead? One of the worst things about GAMMA, is how dead looking Grok made the game because of his vision. I would love to know what you do to make the zone not give me a migraine
Grok needs to implement realistic discovery of shortcuts in my opinion. The fact that the Zone is open straight away ( even with Brain Scorcher requirement ) is a bit unfair. Your safe way through red forest is an example why.
I have over 1000 hours on gamma and i still dont care too much about achivments its how you play i play allways hardcore survival and many times i survived most crazy shit not to mention i came back after few months only to have 60 mods more 🤣 monolith on hardcore playtrhu are the best expirience only thing im pissed rn about this game is the fact every time i reload or drink eat etc it blurs my screen sou much i cant see shit durin action
I mainly made this video as an explainer so I don't have to constantly tell ppl what invictus is when doing my streams/videos. Also Invictus is the only achievement that I hear people literally lie about completing & cheating.
This is due to the *weapon condition rework* where the weapon's overall condition was removed, which was previously increased by weapon lubricants. However, it is still taken into account in weapon search quests and for exchanging with Nimble, where it should be 90%+. But in fact, the overall condition was not removed and can still be seen on the workbench, to increase it you can replace parts with repair kits and service parts inside the weapon with cleaning kits.
You can certainty do it without a Knot, but as this is a video meant to explain Invictus & try and get more people to do it, I kinda have to recommend the Knot since there are a lot of people that do use the Knot.
@@Venoxium I Know, I enjoyed the video and there was a lot of useful information, it's just the way you said that all Invictus havers use the knot, which in my experience is the complete opposite.

You're stuck with it. That's why it warns you to save before using it.
