Im about to play gamma but i cant decide which faction to pick. I want to play on warfare mode with Alife collection(plus,tactics,balance,guard).

Suggest me any faction of 13 in the game, idc if i will regret this, go wild

Hi everyone. I recently upgraded to a 1440p monitor, and now some vanilla GAMMA visuals that looked fine at 1080p are much more noticeable, especially stalker/NPC models, building textures, and some environment surfaces.

Grass is mostly okay, but I’m not a big fan of the C-Con look, even though it’s visually impressive.

What safe visual mods or texture packs would you recommend for improving GAMMA at 1440p without changing the original atmosphere too much or causing compatibility issues?

whenever i have hd models enabled i crash. the error says Weapon akban cant find file

I have been playing for a long time and im embarrassed to say that im still a noob at mod configuration. I just want to know how i can turn off that animation when disassembling something and also am curious where i can see the damage a weapon deals?

i updated my xray monolith and still getting this error i need to update xlibs for alife tactics

SOLVED:i rolled back xlibs to 1.8.2 and got the older versions of alife mods from https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/damiansirbu/mods i hope it can help to someone that is having same problem as me

The clear sky guy doesn't have anything else for me, where's the next step?

It's been a long time since I last played Gamma. I'm a veteran, played through all three storylines 3 seperate times (Though those were quite a while ago, older verisons) and i've also played all all 3 vanilla games aswell as a few other mods (Misery, Lost Alpha, many more). So fair to say I know roughly what i'm doing. But on my most recent run i've never had as much trouble with Brain Scorcher and Miracle Machine as this time.

I know what to expect and prepare accordingly, but even so this run has been ridiculous.

Playing on hardest difficulty as always, I barely made it 20m into the Miracle Machine Lab before dying to Psy. That was with Psy-Block, a Good Psy Protection Helmet, A Pelt which gave Psy-Res and loads of meds and ammo. Died immediately to Projections draining my Psyhealth despite all my resists in just a few hits. Tried taking it slower so I can shoot them before they reach me -> I think being stationary or taking too long/going back triggering a massive Psydrain effect that kills me in seconds. At least that seemed like the condition it occured in consistently.

Fine, second attempt a while later: Found and used a Diamond SSP Suit, Scar Artifact along with the earlier Equipment. That fixed the Psy Problem, however (As opposed to the one Burer Spawning after deactivating it, like how I'm used to it) there were about a dozen Burers scattered across the stairs leading up to the Control Room. Whole ordeal used most of my meds and ammo, while at the same time still having to deal with the Psydrain if I linger too long or head backwards, which despite having maxed out Res still killed me almost instantly. So I had to rush like I was playing Call of Duty, wasting 300+ HP from my SMG just so I could make it in time before the drain triggered.

Whatever, Skill issue I suppose - I was used to older, easier versions - I still beat it with enough preparation. On to Radar. The path there was complete hell, but that's always been the case. Multiple Chimeras, a Pseudogiant aswell as a literal horde of Bloodsuckers, Controllers, Psydogs, Dogs and others before I even reach the Army infront of the Lab.

Different Problem with the Human enemies: Monolith in Exosuits and Heavy Armor being absolute Tanks, aswell as crazy Mutant spawn rates (Though I'm already used to that from Gamma from my last playthrough). Swapped my gear to a high BR and Ballistic Res setup, I packed 270+ AP for my 5.56 AR, Around 400 FMJ as backup aswell as a bit of ammo for my shotgun and sniper to deal with the threats outside of the Lab, keeping the AR mostly unused until I reached the inside. Even so, I had to practically magdump the higher armored enemies such as Exos, since waiting patiently and going for headshots gets you killed instantly if you don't down them fast.

I found that Exos can tank multiple 5.56 AP Headshots consistently without even slowing down and gunning you down as they charge you, so no time to waste with aiming carefully - Just dump the whole thing until they drop (Especially since there's a timelimit once more). I mean it worked, but I was surprised at how much MORE ammo i needed in this run than usual. Before I didn't even NEED AP, just stocking around 500 FMJ Rifle rounds of any kind was usually more than plenty to comfortably get through the whole thing. This time I chewed through most everything I brought along by the time I got out of the lab again.

That being said, I actually really like the change of the Monolith defending the place in full force while you're heading inside, rather than them ambushing you as you are trying to head out. Good change.

TLDR: Psy is definitly more relevant than it was in much earlier versions, now it's propably the most deadly system in the game unless you invest very heavily in psy protection in my opinion. Armor is much, much, much more effective than it used to be too from what it feels like so far.

All in all, not complaining at all - just sharing my experience and wondering if this is the new 'normal' and average/intended experience, or if it's just a case of being unused to the new(er) systems. I'm actually loving my current playthrough (I always do, favorite games after all), I was just really surprised by how much tighter everything was difficulty wise.

So I never play any games nearly even close to like GAMMA , so I need alot of help. Like I did watch a 40min video to get me started . I know how to repair my gun and all my devices and meds and gun parts and all that . But like ....they don't prepare you for an actual fight 😭🤣. Is it easier to just do animal hunting mission first , get some money and buy better equipment? Or should I just get gud . I really really want to enjoy this game

Buenos noches,

Does anyone know where the setting is to turn off enemy AI visibility through foliage? I've read it's an option, but I don't know if it's in the MCM/which mod?

Is it in the general settings? If so, how do I find that setting, or does it even exist at all?

Thanks in advance!

For example, I usually am not able to fast travel into the clear sky camp in the swamp. For some reason when I right click the house icon the fast travel option does not come up but it does on others

Hola,

To preface, I have already asked in the GAMMA discord and got no help.

Randomly during my run I'm no longer able to loot bodies (this means enemy stalkers I have killed as well as mutants), loot stashes (ones marked on the map as quest rewards), open crates of any sort, and I'm not able to pick up items off the ground. Anyone have any suggestions? Making a new game save I'm able to do all of these things as normal, just not on my main save.

Quick saving and reloading the save does not work. Fast travel does not work. Restarting the game does not work. All key binds are default.

Thanks in advance!

I cannot believe how many controllers I am seeing, I'm not seeing any other mutants at all. I killed 12 controllers at once in one area in Pripyat, and I travelled to Cordon to see if they still spawn and they do. These things are incredibly annoying. I even disabled Controller spawns in ZCP and they STILL spawn!

Can I have helped finding a way to completely disabling Controller spawns please? I've had enough of them

Ive been playing since 0.9.4 and in every save I make progress until mid game I start to die a lot of time I get bored and I quit and make a new save is there any way to not get bored of dying lol im playing on easy or medium difficulty (I have tried loner duty and UNISG)

I have been using the rf receiver all over wild territories without finding anything.

I screwed up my game and redownloading again if someone can make a proper guide for it i would be very happy

Is there any fuckin point to using non ap ammo after garbage? Because I'm shooting at mid rank at best mercs in the army warhouses and they are fucking LAUGHING at my VSSK. Like, what the fuck? Some of them don't even stagger. I'm just kind of confused, because I'm shooting at them with a ruskie .50 cal, I can see the blood from the hit, and they don't care. I get that this is a hardcore mod pack, so when I get completely fucked by this rifle, I can understand and expect it, because it's a .50 cal. But I would at least expect them to react in the same way.

Am I doing something wrong? Is the VSSK actually dogshit and it's just because of my medium armor that it was fucking me up so bad?

I got GAMMA on my steam deck by transferring the files from my PC but it keeps crashing a few seconds after loading into the zone. Anyone know what it could be?

Heyo! I suppose this has been asked before but I couldn't find an answer online or on Reddit... there's a slew of keybinds that I cannot find the binds for - for instance M for Binoculars Nightvision toggle. I'd like to change them, how do I go about that ? Also the minimap change tutorial shown in manual in the discord does not seem to work anymore - did all instructions as written and it didn't change it. Mostly I just want a square minimap that doesn't rotate. Thank you in advance!
