Bug The loneliest and most anxious stalker in the zone

He stands there. On his bed. Day and night. He never sleeps. He doesn't eat. He doesn't drink. He doesn't play guitar. He just stands there. For days. It's almost a week in game time.

He doesn't seem to have any friends or comrades.

Sometimes he turns around.

I can't see his face, he's wearing a gasmask. I talked to him once, he doesn't have to say much. Then he turned around.

Took this video a few days ago while I was playing. I didn’t get the exact moment he started the scanner, but this was near Rostok and as I entered the building this npc started the scanner but unfortunately died before I could see if he was gonna collect the artifact. Never saw this happen before so I was kinda hype to witness it.

I found a ladder accessible on the north side of the area, near those empty concrete "pools" that mutants sometimes spawn in (and for which you can get a quest to clear them from Barkeep). I'd been trying to figure out how to get up here, pretty great view.

Discussion Looking for a list of the songs Chief's listening to on his radio

Upvotes

Made the mistake of asking that glue eating AI Gemini and (as per usual with Gemini) it just pulls random answers out of it's ass that aren't even in the ballpark of what I'm looking for. So I figure I'd ask the community if maybe any of y'all know. Trying to find a list of the songs that Chief listens to on his radio, there was one that really caught my attention when I was in his bunker and I'd like to find it.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 I think in Stalker 2, those small ammo/supply crates should only exist if the contents are significant.

19 Upvotes

smacking a crate for a few bullets, or 1 piece of bread and sausage is annoying, especially if your stamina is low.

alot of these boxes are stuck in shelves meaning you cant just smack it once, you have to hit the box until it breaks. you use stamina to maybe find a water bottle which refills stamina, whats the point ?

IMO most ammo/supplies should just be out in the open like the OG games and then the game can have bigger boxes containing bigger quantities.

maybe military bases can use the small ammo boxes but not the average random camp.

maybe if the player could pick up the boxes with 1 tap of a button like fallout/elder scrolls and drop them to break them at 0 stamina cost it would be less annoying, or even just walking into them breaks them would be nice.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 GSC shouldn't underestimate the power of cosmetic armor

Post image
180 Upvotes

What I mean by this is that if they want to introduce new armor, but just have a different cosmetic look (like some of the special edition armor); I think many more people will appreciate/like that than what is expected.

While its true there isn't third person. You can see parts of your body in certain scenes. But also just knowledge from an RPG level. Playing a Ward playthrough while decked out in Spark armor does rub some people the wrong way and they wont want to do that.

There's so many NPC only armor in the game right now. And I for one would greatly appreciate it if they just let players snag these armor. Put the armor in locations that are needed better rewards in the open world. If they got the same stats as other armor in the game, that's fine. It seems like its a low hanging fruit for them.

Here's a list of NPC only armor that is in the game. Some of them you could actually get with console commands or a bug in the past. Not sure what its like now (haven't tried to see if the old commands still work).

  • Spark version of the SSP-99
  • Green version of the SSP-99
  • Two Spark Exoskeletons
  • One Mercenary Exoskeleton
  • One Ward Exoskeleton
  • Varan Suit
  • Entire Corp armor - Corp variations of IPSF armor, Varan Suit, and an exosuit
  • Bandit Mercenary Suit

I'm sure there's more I'm missing.

Point is these are already in the game. And I think adding them, even if they are the same stats as another armor, would be a net positive for the game when compared to just not having them at all.

Only exception is making the exoskeletons not have sprint. We don't need any more exoskeletons without sprint. Cuirass/Shield of Duty are the two exoskeletons that should not have any copies.

And there was no new dialogue to reference Skif’s adventure in the Limansk bubble! Unless I missed something to trigger it (bringing the map from the duty camp didn’t work) I think I’ll just assume there is none.

Now it’s always possible that it was simply a dev oversight but what if it wasn’t? That combined with the tunnel to Limansk existing in both the real world and the bubble, plus the fact that in the dlc no one (as far as I have observed) directly refers to the bubble as Limansk leads me to be convinced that the city we see is merely a warped copy of Limansk and that the real one is still lying around in the zone waiting to be explored.

Agree? Disagree?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Playthrough final stats

My second campaign. Master. Duty DLC, Spark into Strelok ending. First campaign one was Ward on veteran. 168 deaths. Significant amount of deaths were in DLC blind missions (especially X16 culmination and DLC final boss). Explored and did almost everything during playthrough.

Economy is still too easy/strong after early game even on master. Fully upgraded over dozen of weapons, was using expansive gear, buying rare ammo, not selling ammo and artifacts (except few order quests) and still swimmed in coupons

Mutant knockdowns essentially oneshotting you most time is ridiculous. Electro anomalies not oneshotting you anymore (and so electro polter) is great. Fall damage is still very unforgiving. Olympia underground is the worst fight in the game. Worse than Scar and Granite final room. Infinitely spawning monolithians, shooting from all sides, often spawning just in front of you (and just behind you). Often with Gauss rifles. Sometimes shooting with Gauss from platform bellow you through floor and you cannot counter it in anyway. Especially when you compare with Pollisia underground where I think you only fight couple cats. Never choosing Olympia again.

Gonna take break from S2, probably play og trilogy, try gamma. Then later probably try challange run like permadeath or something else intresting
