More up to date update: The teleporter bubble appears when you interact with the corpse in the pit. You can get past the wall of anomalies by crawling under them on the truck. Thats about it :D
Hey guys, back with an update for bandits, go through the forest, use the outskirts on the right side of the map, and once you enter the graveyard sprint as fast as you can. This is more reliable than going through army warehouses. Be quick, Be stealthy, and you'll get there.
Just finished this a couple nights ago. The trick for me was as soon as I ran through the whirlwind anomaly I used a health pack. I also didn’t try to land on the ledge on the right, but just to the left of it in the pit. I found landing on the ledge just hurt me more than it was worth because I was in another whirlwind. Mossberg shotgun was all I used and didn’t use any grenades. Don’t get me wrong, I died about 8 times trying this, and the time I was finally successful at killing the blood sucker, I forgot to look into the bag after I took the portal and it unfortunately meant I had to kill the blood sucker again. But I think my tactic of falling just to the ledge on the right works because I was able to kill him a second time in a row.
hey man. i recently got into stalcraft through the stalker anomaly modpack, and lets just say im addicted. your english guide is a blessing haha keep it up man, ill need you
The video is no longer up to date. The DVs have killed the exploit really badly. You can still grenade the bloodsucker away, but if you kill him and are not in the pit with him, the portal simply won't appear and you'll be trapped and unable to move on.
I found a new way to beat the blood sucker. Just throw like 10 grenades and then jump down with a shotgun, the grenades won’t kill the blood sucker but it will weaken it so you can kill it easily
At 20:53 you got teleported to The Pit... I on the other hand got teleported back to The Forest..stalker also showed up and I got shot right in the back. Brought me right back to The Bar 🙌
25 grenades wasn't enough for me, but I botched a bunch of throws. Then ate it trying to jump into pit when a trampoline yeeted me. Also died coming back to some snorks, but got my corpse and had 50 grenades for the next attempt! That did the trick 😂 Thanks and excellent guides! 🙌
While doing this quest line, I found it easier to just fight the bloodsucker since for me the grenades didn't kill it. But just make sure you got meds if you do it like me lol
Thank you for this video. It saved me a ton of time following your advice and the boss was a breeze. You also saved me from making the wrong choice for the rpd.
thank you so much for this guide!! it took me waaaaay more tries than I would have wanted, but today, I finally was able to kill the bloodsucker and complete the quest 😁
A new challenge, a cave with all sorts of deadly anomalies, thermal/bio/radiation, alongside some stalkers grinding some PVE. It's pretty intense stuff before I even get to the mission place lol
@@MaximumAggro Personally I see it as potential fun. Me and my friend decided on our characters (stalkers) to do the dumbest thing ever... we need aluminum wire? You bet we're going to Agro (bandit zone), ain't nobody want to go to dark valley, that shit's boring! It's actually been going fairly well, but the two of us are both fairly experienced from multiple previous characters at various points through the game's life along with decent gear and being a duo. We've had some close calls and runs for our money, but dame it's 100 times more interesting than just mindlessly grinding in dark valley. (Although as a solo I can't recommend the idea, but if you got buddies if you enjoy PvP give it a try once and see if you enjoy it. Although it's less efficient time to resource wise it's more entertaining and engaging too.)
thank you for all your guides for this game as they are the most detailed English guides out there that I have found. Although for some reason when i was searching youtube for these they wouldnt apear until some one linked me directly to your channel. I even was trying in the exact titles of the videos and nothing would pop up. Once i was linked here though now they apear if ia search for them. its very odd. I did double check and there are no filters on my end that would block them either.
Me and my in game friend form a squad to do the quest. We killed the Bloodsucker then jumped down to the pit and search the corpse, we jump into a trampoline to get to the teleporter bubble, we got to the locker room and searched the backpack, dialogue pops out but the quest isn't finished for me, after we hoped into the teleporter the quest is still on. When I went back to the tunnel the enemies were reset but the teleporter bubble was still there. I got back to the locker room but couldn't interact with the backpack..
Did you interact with the table of food at the very beginning of the instance? As soon as you zone in before you drop down where the zombies and snorks are, there is a table you have to interact with.
Sneaking through the graveyard was tense, but I think the hardest part was getting from the bar to the graveyard as a mid-gear player. FWI, in 2024, I don't know if they patched this or not, but I didn't do shit to the ghoul with grenades. First time I threw 25 or so before wondering if he was aggro'd at all, got accidentally killed by a black hole while trying to 'peek' (lol rage facepalm), then brought back 30ish loose grenades and didn't do shit again. I ended up taking some buffs and jumping in with my assault rifle and the ghoul was untouched. Ran in circles and killed him in 3 mags or so. He was a lot weaker than I thought he would be. Kind of as strong as a ghoul from Dead City. A shotgun would have probably worked fine. Also, now, the teleporter after the ghoul took me alllllllll the way to the little town in the middle of Roadside.
Did all of this just to accidentally choose the wrong dialogue while rushing thru the text mindlessly. Now here I am with firebrands rpd and a broken soul.

Great guide man but I’ve been having extreme bad luck today. Just about every run I’d take 30-40 nades and id make it to the cave no problem but throw all mine is the exact spot you do and I’d never even get the boss past half health. Blew through about 70k so far today

The "press F to interact" message doenst appear to me, and my F1 isnt even pressed, what do i do to solve this problem, at this mission i didnt know i could examine this first table, because the message doenst appear to me :(
If you are talking about the backpack you will have to go all the way back to the table and interact with it to make the backpack active. (Meaning you will have to leave the instance and go all the way back through the Graveyard again to get back to the start of the instance) Or do you mean you cant interact with the table at the beginning?
I've been following you for the past two weeks and man, i really wanna say: thank you for these guides, they're awesome. Off topic: fuck this quest, it's almost impossible for bandits, they really need to implement better spawn points, i had to run to the graveyard 10 times thanks to stalkers camping the entrance to the "dungeon"
Yeah its super crappy if you get into a server where they are camping zone transitions. You could always try during off peak times depending on your schedule. Like early in the morning before everyone gets on in the evenings.
@@MaximumAggro yeah, i had to do it at 1 am cet, it was a real pain. i really think they should at least add a spawn point in some maps, not only in bases
BTW you need 100 Psy protection.....as I just arrive inside the bunker without that. lol Whoops! Still one of the best sources for detailed walkthroughs for these missions 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Sorry, kind of assumed everyone would at least have the Seekers Mockingbird/Hawk from the story quest by the time they did this since you're at the bar.
@@MaximumAggro no I did just not equipped - hadn’t dealed with psy until that mission - the guide was still the most helpful of all the suggested from my search! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
Strange. I wonder what is keeping it from damaging him. I've done it on both my guys and will be doing it on my Stalker too when he's high enough to go there. Maybe it'll happen to him so I can figure out why.
From what I am hearing on trisps stream this morning, they may have made bleeds stronger recently. He died to one as well, so I'm guessing that may have played a part in it.
I have a problema, i did everything until i took the theleport that droped me in the pit. But something gone wrong, i did touch the corpse ando the largue backpack but when i teleported to the pit ir didnt count i still have The gig Underground. Ando after doing everything again i can't no longer interact with the largue backpack.
Seems they've changed the RPD you get when siding with firebrand now, as I seem to remember that one had 0 attachments or something? Now it has the same "RPD tactical handguard" as hystrix' one, but an "EoTech collimator sight", "spikes tactical dynacomp" muzzle device and "tactical grip made from ak grip" for the foregrip (same one you get from the main quest line) Also the space bubble put me in the bottom right of the forest after leaving the tunnel.. in a thermal 2 area .-. Was wearing a combat suit and tried equipping the scientist suit on me but I burnt to a crisp. these devs man lmfao
FFS my quest bugged out i grabbed the bag after killing the BS'er i jumped in the portal and it tp'd me to an enemy camp and died because there were too many. i went back to redo it but the bag is bugged and i cant search it
Try going back and interacting with the table of food at the very beginning before dropping down to kill the zombies. Then go back to the bag and see if that fixes it.
HAHAHA Just did this had 2 full crates and bought 10 extra nades. Sprint was not all that bad. Started the dungeon, zombies did not move like in your case but made quick work from them, no snorks also which I found confusing but went on. I threw 2 to agro him and 48 in the pit they bounced perfectly. Found it odd that there was no bubble. Made a jump and then he appeared and 2 shot me. So I think your cheez is fixed
@@MaximumAggro UPDATE: After bringing 60 bombs, downed 2 times on the way and the guy that shot me picked me up 2 times, it worked, just after using the teleport it threw me in Red forest. I made it back on foot
Sometimes I legit forget I have it, I'll try to be better about it in the future. I also forget that the recording is darker than what I'm seeing on my monitor so what I am seeing in game is not nearly as dark.
I got the histrex rpd but it has 29 unit , why ? Should i upgrade it later ? Or the weapon somehow will get 40 unit like yours in the video Edit: Now i upgraded it and it has 30 unit now
the Hystrix's rpd no long has that modifier its... Headshots x1.25 and limb dmgx0.5 and has an "Upgraded spread and recoil in the prone position" FIRBRANDS RPD seems to have the exact same stats.. i have them both
@@MaximumAggro which is GARBAGE!!! lol maybe remove it for PVP but keep it for the PVE stuff.. it makes the game more enjoyable to have these cool little modifiers otherwise its like every other gun
I Choose To Tell The Truths... And Get FireBrand RPD ( Like AK Attachment ) Instead Of ( M16 Attachment ). yes, I Already Completely Mission Myself... And Just Look To Know and Look around Other People Ways Of Choosing Or Playing... I Hope you Guys Understand
Thank you so much very helpful video :) however did they nerfed the gun ? like i got Hystrix's RPD dmg is just 28.7 ??? also do you have like a discord server i would really love to join :)
Yeah the guns and armor all got changed across the board a little while back. And yeah my discord server is under the about me section of my channel :-)
Hey so im not a bandit but needed this guide desperatley, unfortunately as sooon as you to to the guy at the pond, and lie to himhe still gives you his rpd..... So Now im thinking that the only other way to have gotten the other rpd is to have just went straight to Hystrixs
Well fuck. Should've saw this before completing it, cause I took the good end of telling firebrand the truth. Now I regret doing that and now I can't have the good rpd.
Lol, that being said I got killed 5 times in a row yesterday by a group of like 4 Bandits camping thw zone transition in the bar that leads to army warehouse.
oh noo! at the last point i by complete mistake ended up choosing the wrong option, oh no! i have been doing this fro 3-4hrs dying again and again only to fuk up at that point, god, i was being biten by mutts so i just huried. i didn't read it correctly, i thought it said he didn't exist !
The gun you get depends on who you side with, if you lie to Firebrand and tell him that his brother never existed you get Hystrixs RPD. If you tell Firebrand that his brother did exist and Hystrix killed him you get Firebrands RPD.
ive finished the main story quest and captain doesnt give me side quest its just "hello can i ask you some questions " is it not active after finishing main story?
This may be fixed now. From what my friends and I can tell, you can't get the Bloodsucker to spawn anymore until you get down there. If someone has any more info we'd appreciate it.
used both boxes and it didnt kill him he was a little less than half health when i jumped to my death. I went back right after though and he died in about 8 so it seems like he was still there even though i died
@@MaximumAggro definitely seems like the damage persists though if you go straight back to him. I took 50 loose grenades back the second time lol. Then got mauled by dogs in the dump with about 30 left over. It kicked me out in the dump when I went through the portal
Hmm, I have no idea why he wouldn't spawn. The 3 times I have done it, I haven't had him not spawn in. Maybe someone else in the comments has had that happen and can give some insight. I'll research and see if I can find anything.
@MaximumAggro I followed your guid for iceman’s quest line and I’m loving the monolith sig but are there any other guns you would still recommend going for?
@@MaximumAggro I got that after I read the description of the videos. I was just letting ppl know because I got confused when I seen the title. No worries tho. Tha k you for making these videos
this vid made me realize that u don't talk about guides on armour, bullets, guns and stuff. Would it be ok if u made a vid about guns and their mods? cause i use a sniper and pistol but idk what i am going to get for AR. Cause ur my main stalcraft guides channel so are u planning on doing it?
In my experience with weapons: Snipers have bonus headshot damage: bolt actions = highest damage & 2x headshot damage(one hit kill), SVTs/SVDs near the same damage(slighty less) as bolties but higher firerate but 1.5x headshot damage(most effecient), SKS/M1A lowest damage (half of bolties) with highest fireate with 1.5x headshot damage(highest dps, ammo hungry). Pistols have high damage but low range and quick reload time, meant as a last resort or quick last hit. SMGs are mini assault rifles with cheap ammo, best for PvE but can be useful PvP in pinch. Have an damage increase effect the more you fire at the same target. Machine guns are SMGs on steroids. Far better for PvP than SMGs but have long reload speeds. Has same effect as SMGs. Shotguns are best mutant killers(1.5x) If you plan to use these in PvE. Use The higher tier ones that have fast firerates. Assault rifles are your everyday weapon, best for everything but mostly used in PvP because of the quicker reload speed and higher ammo capacities. Melee: always carry one, even the starter knife, can prove to be useful.
For an AR, depends on the ammo. 5.45/5.56 have the same effects but guns have different stats. 7.62 have better stats but heavier and stacks less than 5.45/5.56 and exclusive to the AKM(if were talking ARs). 9x39 is just upgrade of 5.45/5.56 but exclusive to ASVAL/VSS. My suggestions: For 5.45: any AK that uses the ammo will suffice but choose the one with high firerate or go straight to RPK for high ammo capacity. All weight 4-6 kg (incl RPK). For 5.56: if you want lightweight, then go with the M4A1(2.5+ kg) and just upgrade with attachments. If weight is not an issue (especially once you finished the main story) go with IL86 machine gun(may need to grind a bit), 60 ammo and near half the reload time of the RPD. For 7.62: the AKM is the only AR for this (the RPD is too slow on reload to be useful in PVP ,especially solo). Its easy to grind for and you also get one in the main story. For 9x39: this is an advance ammo and the weapons for it are lategame. Once you get the AS-VAL, you will be stuck on it for a while since the materials needed to upgrade to VSS are hard to get. But the AS-VAL is a fast killing weapon beacause of its firerate and the ammo's armor penetration also it is silenced(havent grinded for the groza but you need grind for silencer for the groza as well).
For sure I can look into that. I haven't really made one yet becuase there's a lot I still don't know about best weapon types etc. And I don't want to put a bunch of false info out there. That video will probably be after I finish Bandit and stalker guides and have more experience with all the different weapon categories.
I honestly dont think they play tested the boss encounters. It seems like they used mobs already in the game (bloodsuckers, dogs/psuedogiants) and just upped the speed and health of them, maybe threw in some extra abilities. It doesn't seem they actually tried them though.
@@MaximumAggro I started with 3 nades to agro, and used like 40 nades without success. I had to go there with a shotgun my self. But thank you anyway your videos helped me so much
ruclips.net/video/y2xpfikI1Ls/видео.html Its from this questline, its called the Hebrews Walther, but it's only available for Bandits. If you wanted to barter for it you can get the walther pistol and put the blue osprey suppressor on it.
Yo thanks for this. Im a stalker so i have it easy for this quest. I was wondering also. Ive seen bandits call stalkers “loners” and was wondering whats that about and if stalkers have a name for bandits.
In the actual S.T.A.L.K.E.R, games Loners are just stalkers who are not part of any other group for the most part. Just looking to make money off the zone. At some point Oracle has Loner as his title in Stalcraft. And as far as I know Bandits are just good Ole Bandits.
im so fucking mad i was hurrying becuase i was being chased by a bunch of stalkers and i pciked the wrong fucking dialogue option and got the firebrand rpd. all that time for fucking nothing
i spent maybe 75k already on 250 grenades i cannot even get there thanks for the absolute worst advice for me edit spent over 200 k roubles and i finished it some players got a lot of nades from me enjoy them
hey man sorry i was so angry i didnt mean to be rude directly to you i did finish the quest because of your help so thank you anyway im watching all of ur stalcraft content @@MaximumAggro
h@@MaximumAggro haha thank you for understanding, man i have 1 quest i cannot solve there is this dead mans stash from mosquito in the dead city and i cannot find it quest description said "i acquired the coordinated of a stiff's stash. Time to check them."
Did you talk to hystrix first before going to tell Firebrand his brother didn't exist? If you didn't, then he wouldn't have ever made the offer to give you his gun if you lied.
Yeah the buff got removed from all lmgs in the weapon rebalance patch. They adjusted damage numbers and such for every gun in the game. Quest steps for moat every quest stayed the same though as I have done them post updates and they were the same.
Yeah it's a total crapshoot with grenades from what I hear from other people experience. I got it to work 3 times on 3 characters but it doesn't seem to be guaranteed by any means
@@MaximumAggro it didnt do it... he died or got stuck by the car you stand on or whatever that is. but i wasted all my grenade crates jump down and he wasnt there i was stuck and had to suicide i came back with like 30 grenades but man that quest is tedious especially due to the no checkpoint situation
@@satorumayokohama1133 Oh damn I misread what you wrote thats shitty, I thought you killed him with the anomaly and got credit. Yeah this one is pretty crappy for 1 because its in the stalker zone and 2 if you die inside you have to make the 900 mile journey back.
@@satorumayokohama1133 You would think lol, they did that with Coxcomb in the swamps, both factions had a guy named coxcomb in different locations. Same concept I would think.

The "press F to interact" message doenst appear to me, and my F1 isnt even pressed, what do i do to solve this problem, at this mission i didnt know i could examine this first table, because the message doenst appear to me :(
If you are talking about the backpack you will have to go all the way back to the table and interact with it to make the backpack active. (Meaning you will have to leave the instance and go all the way back through the Graveyard again to get back to the start of the instance)
Or do you mean you cant interact with the table at the beginning?
@@MaximumAggro really yhank you for the advice
I can interact but as the message didnt appeared to me so i didnt know i could interact with the table
still works 👍 though the gun isnt as good currently, still worth if youre new to the bar
I've been following you for the past two weeks and man, i really wanna say: thank you for these guides, they're awesome. Off topic: fuck this quest, it's almost impossible for bandits, they really need to implement better spawn points, i had to run to the graveyard 10 times thanks to stalkers camping the entrance to the "dungeon"
Yeah its super crappy if you get into a server where they are camping zone transitions. You could always try during off peak times depending on your schedule. Like early in the morning before everyone gets on in the evenings.
@@MaximumAggro yeah, i had to do it at 1 am cet, it was a real pain. i really think they should at least add a spawn point in some maps, not only in bases
@@Leonxandergunisback They are planning updates so we shall see what they do!
english stalcraft player, immediate subcscribe
BTW you need 100 Psy protection.....as I just arrive inside the bunker without that. lol Whoops! Still one of the best sources for detailed walkthroughs for these missions 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Sorry, kind of assumed everyone would at least have the Seekers Mockingbird/Hawk from the story quest by the time they did this since you're at the bar.
@@MaximumAggro no I did just not equipped - hadn’t dealed with psy until that mission - the guide was still the most helpful of all the suggested from my search! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
For sure!
Yay I finally got this quest line done with.....after loosing ~70k from dying constantly
Yeah it's a pain for sure
the gernade trick hasnt been working for me i tried 40 , 50, 60 gernades multiple times and it just dosnt work for me
Strange. I wonder what is keeping it from damaging him. I've done it on both my guys and will be doing it on my Stalker too when he's high enough to go there. Maybe it'll happen to him so I can figure out why.
You remember that trampoline at the end, well, it didn't launch me into the portal and I bled to death
That's some terrible luck man. I've done this mission 4 times and haven't had that happen yet. Did you just not have any meds left?
@@MaximumAggro I did, but the army meds didn't out heal the bleeding damage
From what I am hearing on trisps stream this morning, they may have made bleeds stronger recently. He died to one as well, so I'm guessing that may have played a part in it.
@@MaximumAggro looks like stone bloods are getting a use now?
Maybe, we don't have confirmation on if that is true or not yet though
I have a problema, i did everything until i took the theleport that droped me in the pit. But something gone wrong, i did touch the corpse ando the largue backpack but when i teleported to the pit ir didnt count i still have The gig Underground. Ando after doing everything again i can't no longer interact with the largue backpack.
Sry, ir was My mistake, i didnt touch the table with the food SO that was the problem, already with My new gun in bar
@@bloodyarcher4425 Awesome I was just coming to tell you that you have to interact with that table haha. Grats on the new weapon!
@@MaximumAggro ty, ando awesome guides btw, ty
Seems they've changed the RPD you get when siding with firebrand now, as I seem to remember that one had 0 attachments or something? Now it has the same "RPD tactical handguard" as hystrix' one, but an "EoTech collimator sight", "spikes tactical dynacomp" muzzle device and "tactical grip made from ak grip" for the foregrip (same one you get from the main quest line)
Also the space bubble put me in the bottom right of the forest after leaving the tunnel.. in a thermal 2 area .-.
Was wearing a combat suit and tried equipping the scientist suit on me but I burnt to a crisp. these devs man lmfao
damn, I skipped some parts of the tutorial and got firebrand's instead, but still, thanks bro.
They nerfed all of these side quest guns so dont get too excited about the stats, just make the choice that you want for your story.
time to chuck as many of the grenade i have to my pocket
i never knew ther was another rpd thanks
FFS my quest bugged out i grabbed the bag after killing the BS'er i jumped in the portal and it tp'd me to an enemy camp and died because there were too many. i went back to redo it but the bag is bugged and i cant search it
Try going back and interacting with the table of food at the very beginning before dropping down to kill the zombies. Then go back to the bag and see if that fixes it.
Man getting this was hell, me and my friend died so many times
Will you be doing all of the bandit gear, or at least most of it?
All that I can find and figure out the quests for! Stalker too afterwards!
HAHAHA
Just did this had 2 full crates and bought 10 extra nades. Sprint was not all that bad. Started the dungeon, zombies did not move like in your case but made quick work from them, no snorks also which I found confusing but went on. I threw 2 to agro him and 48 in the pit they bounced perfectly. Found it odd that there was no bubble. Made a jump and then he appeared and 2 shot me. So I think your cheez is fixed
It may be, I haven't done it in a while. I do know that sometimes it just doesn't work though from talking to other people.
@@MaximumAggro UPDATE: After bringing 60 bombs, downed 2 times on the way and the guy that shot me picked me up 2 times, it worked, just after using the teleport it threw me in Red forest. I made it back on foot
Nice!
why do u not use night vision ? i can barely see stuff without nightvision in game
Sometimes I legit forget I have it, I'll try to be better about it in the future. I also forget that the recording is darker than what I'm seeing on my monitor so what I am seeing in game is not nearly as dark.
I got the histrex rpd but it has 29 unit , why ?
Should i upgrade it later ? Or the weapon somehow will get 40 unit like yours in the video
Edit: Now i upgraded it and it has 30 unit now
All weapons were reduced in the weapon rebalance a while ago. Sadly I had already made all the guides with the old numbers on the guns still.
the Hystrix's rpd no long has that modifier its... Headshots x1.25 and limb dmgx0.5 and has an "Upgraded spread and recoil in the prone position"
FIRBRANDS RPD seems to have the exact same stats.. i have them both
Yeah they removed the damage modifier during the big weapon rebalance a few months back
@@MaximumAggro which is GARBAGE!!! lol maybe remove it for PVP but keep it for the PVE stuff.. it makes the game more enjoyable to have these cool little modifiers otherwise its like every other gun
I Choose To Tell The Truths... And Get FireBrand RPD ( Like AK Attachment ) Instead Of ( M16 Attachment ). yes, I Already Completely Mission Myself... And Just Look To Know and Look around Other People Ways Of Choosing Or Playing... I Hope you Guys Understand
hi did the gun got nerfd? my one does only 28 dmg and is not have any other passive other then prone improve recoil
Yeah all guns got rebalanced so the damage changed
if possible, could you do Mogul's side quest? he's a dude near where Notary is in Agroprom sitting inside one of the buildings
ruclips.net/video/UNc5VXfNdUM/видео.html Here ya go! I just uploaded it yesterday!
@@MaximumAggro well I'll be! thank you very much
Thank you so much very helpful video :) however did they nerfed the gun ? like i got Hystrix's RPD dmg is just 28.7 ??? also do you have like a discord server i would really love to join :)
Yeah the guns and armor all got changed across the board a little while back. And yeah my discord server is under the about me section of my channel :-)
your hystrix RPD is 40dmg while mine is 29 why is that is it because of the update?
Yes. That's from the big weapon Rebalance a few months ago. All weapons had their stats adjusted and almost all had their damage reduced.
Hey so im not a bandit but needed this guide desperatley, unfortunately as sooon as you to to the guy at the pond, and lie to himhe still gives you his rpd.....
So Now im thinking that the only other way to have gotten the other rpd is to have just went straight to Hystrixs
Tried looking on the wiki, nothing there and i cant find it through anymore recent sources then here so im gassed...
Yeah you have to go to Hystrix first, in the video I go back and talk to him before going back to Firebrand.
Well fuck. Should've saw this before completing it, cause I took the good end of telling firebrand the truth. Now I regret doing that and now I can't have the good rpd.
Is it too much to ask for a checkpoint
As we all know Loners love to camp quest areas they get off on it
Lol, that being said I got killed 5 times in a row yesterday by a group of like 4 Bandits camping thw zone transition in the bar that leads to army warehouse.
@@MaximumAggro As someone who has played both Loners and Bandits, I think that transition is one of the only places I ever got camped by Bandits
I accidentally told firebrand his brother existed
I got the hystrec rpd but it has 29 unit , why ?
All guns were changed a little while back when they rebalanced every gun in the game. So my older videos will have the old damage values still.
Seen this video today and did the quest huge nerf for dmg now its 29.5 units and other lower stats not sure if the other one is better now or what.
why does my weapon only deal 29 damage and yours 40?
All weapons were "balanced" months after making all these earlier tutorials so the damage on every weapon in the game was lowered.
Great vid again. Thank you. :)
Thank you for the kind words!
oh noo! at the last point i by complete mistake ended up choosing the wrong option, oh no! i have been doing this fro 3-4hrs dying again and again only to fuk up at that point, god, i was being biten by mutts so i just huried. i didn't read it correctly, i thought it said he didn't exist !
i shot him with 3 hp
thanks for the nade strat tho lmao
i had anxiety making through the blackhole as well
thanks again
u made my game easy
You have to jump through a "Vortex" after u killed the bloodsucker.
is this weapon bandit only? I did it with my stalker and I got Firebrand RPD
The gun you get depends on who you side with, if you lie to Firebrand and tell him that his brother never existed you get Hystrixs RPD. If you tell Firebrand that his brother did exist and Hystrix killed him you get Firebrands RPD.
@@MaximumAggro I think I just spammed like a dumb, thanks 😅
i went to army wearhouses then throught the stalker side of the bar to get to the quest, i probably made it harder than it had to be ~_~
i am currently proned in a b
ush waiting until 24:00 its around 13 im extreamly scared
You got this!
Yeah I kind of did the same apparently lol
Any idea why the NPC doesn't have the quest for me?
Captain?
How* far into the main quest are you?
@@MaximumAggro Oh my, I am a dummy. It looks like I accepted it the first time I came to The Bar.
I appreciate the quick reply on a 3 week video!
Haha no worries! Glad you got it figured out!
ive finished the main story quest and captain doesnt give me side quest its just "hello can i ask you some questions " is it not active after finishing main story?
having lotta trouble to get to graveyard, rad 2 suit too ezpensive for me. any rout guys?
Which route are you taking right now to try an get there?
i go underground, between army house and duty base.. but how do i avoid rad 2 :o
how did u cross that bio 2 river thingy right before graveyard? do need to buy somthn that protects me vs bio2?
What lvl do you have to be with the bar to get the starter quest?
How far are you in the Story quest? I'm not sure its tied to the Bar rep but we can rule some things out.
Very helpful, thanks!
You're welcome!
This may be fixed now. From what my friends and I can tell, you can't get the Bloodsucker to spawn anymore until you get down there. If someone has any more info we'd appreciate it.
just did it and not fixed :)
@@cursedpoptart well thats good. How did you get past all of the Stalkers there?
@@tacticalpossum7090 I play on NA servers and got lucky and didn’t come across any stalkers on the runs back and forth
Yeah this quest is almost impossible with the amount of stalkers camping it xD
Maybe i'll try getting a group together to get there.
liked and subbed btw, your guides are amazing
I appreciate it!
used both boxes and it didnt kill him he was a little less than half health when i jumped to my death. I went back right after though and he died in about 8 so it seems like he was still there even though i died
Yeah my stalker took 36 grenades where the Bandit was 26 I think. It's all based on how lucky you get lol
@@MaximumAggro definitely seems like the damage persists though if you go straight back to him. I took 50 loose grenades back the second time lol. Then got mauled by dogs in the dump with about 30 left over. It kicked me out in the dump when I went through the portal
the blodsucker never spawned and now im jsut ctuck in the hole, anyone know a solution?
Did you interact with the food on the table at the beginning of the instance? Before you dropped down to where the zombies are?
@@MaximumAggro yes, i did
but int eh second try it wouldnt let me, and till it isn't spawning
Hmm, I have no idea why he wouldn't spawn. The 3 times I have done it, I haven't had him not spawn in. Maybe someone else in the comments has had that happen and can give some insight. I'll research and see if I can find anything.
Ey bro can you do the monolith sig? its a special gun that's fully modded just for bandits. There's a russian vid on it, might wanna check on it
Already in the process! Just at the mercy of the time gated portions where you have to wait for the npc to show up places.
i dont recomend trying to cheese the bloodsucker, i tink they may have patched it
btw i killed the bloodsucker with 4 hunting rounds and a single guides medkit
Is it still worth the grind?
Honestly not really
@MaximumAggro I followed your guid for iceman’s quest line and I’m loving the monolith sig but are there any other guns you would still recommend going for?
Anyone watching this now you can also get this as a stalker. did it myself
You always could, I just showed the stalker side getting the opposite gun so I would have a video on both.
@@MaximumAggro I got that after I read the description of the videos. I was just letting ppl know because I got confused when I seen the title. No worries tho. Tha k you for making these videos
this vid made me realize that u don't talk about guides on armour, bullets, guns and stuff. Would it be ok if u made a vid about guns and their mods? cause i use a sniper and pistol but idk what i am going to get for AR. Cause ur my main stalcraft guides channel so are u planning on doing it?
In my experience with weapons:
Snipers have bonus headshot damage: bolt actions = highest damage & 2x headshot damage(one hit kill), SVTs/SVDs near the same damage(slighty less) as bolties but higher firerate but 1.5x headshot damage(most effecient), SKS/M1A lowest damage (half of bolties) with highest fireate with 1.5x headshot damage(highest dps, ammo hungry).
Pistols have high damage but low range and quick reload time, meant as a last resort or quick last hit.
SMGs are mini assault rifles with cheap ammo, best for PvE but can be useful PvP in pinch. Have an damage increase effect the more you fire at the same target.
Machine guns are SMGs on steroids. Far better for PvP than SMGs but have long reload speeds. Has same effect as SMGs.
Shotguns are best mutant killers(1.5x) If you plan to use these in PvE. Use The higher tier ones that have fast firerates.
Assault rifles are your everyday weapon, best for everything but mostly used in PvP because of the quicker reload speed and higher ammo capacities.
Melee: always carry one, even the starter knife, can prove to be useful.
For an AR, depends on the ammo. 5.45/5.56 have the same effects but guns have different stats. 7.62 have better stats but heavier and stacks less than 5.45/5.56 and exclusive to the AKM(if were talking ARs). 9x39 is just upgrade of 5.45/5.56 but exclusive to ASVAL/VSS.
My suggestions:
For 5.45: any AK that uses the ammo will suffice but choose the one with high firerate or go straight to RPK for high ammo capacity. All weight 4-6 kg (incl RPK).
For 5.56: if you want lightweight, then go with the M4A1(2.5+ kg) and just upgrade with attachments. If weight is not an issue (especially once you finished the main story) go with IL86 machine gun(may need to grind a bit), 60 ammo and near half the reload time of the RPD.
For 7.62: the AKM is the only AR for this (the RPD is too slow on reload to be useful in PVP ,especially solo). Its easy to grind for and you also get one in the main story.
For 9x39: this is an advance ammo and the weapons for it are lategame. Once you get the AS-VAL, you will be stuck on it for a while since the materials needed to upgrade to VSS are hard to get. But the AS-VAL is a fast killing weapon beacause of its firerate and the ammo's armor penetration also it is silenced(havent grinded for the groza but you need grind for silencer for the groza as well).
For sure I can look into that. I haven't really made one yet becuase there's a lot I still don't know about best weapon types etc. And I don't want to put a bunch of false info out there.
That video will probably be after I finish Bandit and stalker guides and have more experience with all the different weapon categories.
Very useful info! Thank you!
the DPS of this is reduced in 2024 its basic dps is 29.5
You know you might suck at designing boss battles when literally everyone cheeses your bosses.
I honestly dont think they play tested the boss encounters. It seems like they used mobs already in the game (bloodsuckers, dogs/psuedogiants) and just upped the speed and health of them, maybe threw in some extra abilities. It doesn't seem they actually tried them though.
Love the videos
i got teleported to the cordon bridge lol litterly duble as you XD
Yeah thats quite the trip back up to the bar lol.
how do you know the boss is dead?
if the teleport bubble pops up he is dead
@@MaximumAggro
I started with 3 nades to agro, and used like 40 nades without success. I had to go there with a shotgun my self. But thank you anyway your videos helped me so much
how did u get the pistol ur using?
ruclips.net/video/y2xpfikI1Ls/видео.html Its from this questline, its called the Hebrews Walther, but it's only available for Bandits. If you wanted to barter for it you can get the walther pistol and put the blue osprey suppressor on it.
@@MaximumAggro ah ok tysm! i'm stalker so maybe ill do that
Yo thanks for this. Im a stalker so i have it easy for this quest. I was wondering also. Ive seen bandits call stalkers “loners” and was wondering whats that about and if stalkers have a name for bandits.
In the actual S.T.A.L.K.E.R, games Loners are just stalkers who are not part of any other group for the most part. Just looking to make money off the zone. At some point Oracle has Loner as his title in Stalcraft.
And as far as I know Bandits are just good Ole Bandits.
@@MaximumAggro nice. I thought it had something to do with lore. But thats interesting. Thanks for the reply. 👍
For sure!
im so fucking mad i was hurrying becuase i was being chased by a bunch of stalkers and i pciked the wrong fucking dialogue option and got the firebrand rpd. all that time for fucking nothing
i spent maybe 75k already on 250 grenades i cannot even get there thanks for the absolute worst advice for me
edit spent over 200 k roubles and i finished it some players got a lot of nades from me enjoy them
Sorry to hear that
hey man sorry i was so angry i didnt mean to be rude directly to you i did finish the quest because of your help so thank you anyway im watching all of ur stalcraft content

No worries man I know the anger this game can spurn lol
h@@MaximumAggro haha thank you for understanding, man i have 1 quest i cannot solve there is this dead mans stash from mosquito in the dead city and i cannot find it
quest description said "i acquired the coordinated of a stiff's stash. Time to check them."
i did what u said but i got the wrong rpd and its so bad :(
Not sure how you followed the video and got the wrong one.
@@MaximumAggro idk i did everything u said and went to go tell firebrand that his brother never existed and he just gave me his gun
Did you talk to hystrix first before going to tell Firebrand his brother didn't exist? If you didn't, then he wouldn't have ever made the offer to give you his gun if you lied.
Yeah the buff got removed from all lmgs in the weapon rebalance patch. They adjusted damage numbers and such for every gun in the game. Quest steps for moat every quest stayed the same though as I have done them post updates and they were the same.
The black holes killed the bloodsucker and the exit portal didn’t spawn had to suicide
Well thats shitty.
IM on a new character didnt watch your video. killed the boss then jumped through the second bubble lol
I've done that on a character when I was just playing on autopilot and not paying attention lol
@@MaximumAggro Its spits you out in roadside now near the bridge. Did both times
Thanks
I threw 60 grenades and it didn't work.
Yeah it's a total crapshoot with grenades from what I hear from other people experience. I got it to work 3 times on 3 characters but it doesn't seem to be guaranteed by any means
Life saver!
Love to hear it!
when i did this i lowkey shot the mutant into a blackhole and he died i think the portal didnt open..
Lol that's one way to do it I guess.
@@MaximumAggro it didnt do it... he died or got stuck by the car you stand on or whatever that is. but i wasted all my grenade crates jump down and he wasnt there i was stuck and had to suicide i came back with like 30 grenades but man that quest is tedious especially due to the no checkpoint situation
@@satorumayokohama1133 Oh damn I misread what you wrote thats shitty, I thought you killed him with the anomaly and got credit. Yeah this one is pretty crappy for 1 because its in the stalker zone and 2 if you die inside you have to make the 900 mile journey back.
like they just couldnt mirror this quest on the other side of the map like they did for the Beast quest or Minstrel
@@satorumayokohama1133 You would think lol, they did that with Coxcomb in the swamps, both factions had a guy named coxcomb in different locations. Same concept I would think.
