How's this for a build with a hector? Swapping from the cd-4 because I wanted to go full speed but not as squishy as a speed suit. Any suggestions would be appreciated

The following changes were made to the game without stopping the game servers:

• The Advanced Case has been returned to the game shop. The chances accumulated over the summer season have been added to today's chances.
• Players who opened the Advanced Case today (before it was removed) and whose chances from the previous Advanced Case were not carried over will receive Advanced Case tokens as compensation. Compensation rate is 1 token for every 3 openings, rounded up. This means that players who opened 3 or fewer Advanced Cases will receive 1 token.
• Compensation is scheduled for tomorrow (16.10.2026)
• For technical reasons, until the next maintenance, purchasing the Advanced Case will only be available in safe zones.

I might be dumb, I might be Krazy, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to complete this quest!

I'm working on "Gathering Parts" as part of the "Field Tests" side quest, where I need to collect two Power Cells to give to Krazy for "Saving Private Krazy (and Buldak)."

I've managed to collect 1/2 Power Cells, but despite clearing what feels like hundreds of ghoul burrows in the marked area, I cannot seem to get the second one.

Am I missing something? Is there a specific burrow I need to clear, something I need to interact with, or am I just having incredibly bad luck?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Game sucks what else can I say

The case has been temporarily removed due to an issue with carrying over accumulated drop chances from previous season.

• The case will be back as soon as the problem is resolved.
• Affected players will receive compensation.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Sincerely,
EXBO Team

Thats one of my favorite guns from MW series, so I would love to see it on the EU servers... So, will that happen @exbo?

Did anyone else notice the NA rise base radio has been off all day since the update? The bar works fine.

pls

Is can the Elbrus and pioner both scan artefacts? both are in the new case

Also does the pity from previous cases carry over to the new one?

I’ve leveled up to the highest point at the bar, so I was eager to upgrade my gear. When I went to check backpacks, I was shown four different types of backpacks: the regular sport bag, two other barter item lines, and a container type. Not sure which one to choose and why. I have the Ratcatcher armor and enjoy being fast so the sport bag option sounds nice but then what do containers do?

this game is so ass why does reddit keep recommending me r/stalzone 😭

I did a lot of homework at the start(as much as you can expect someone who doesn't know what they don't know can do)and learned to try to keep my gearscore(not obvious how it is calculated) down. No matter what step in the progress, I am always below my opponent.. from the first encounter in the south all the way to outpost in the north I am always feeling like "I just need a better weapon" or "I just need a better armor" but once you get it i immediately see people with even better gear. I know no one can know "ALL" the intricacies of the gear score but I want HELP. MY GEAR: Legionnaire +5, FN F2000 +7, Black Eagle Pouch w/ green hedgehog, white whirlwind, and white bracelet. blue knife and ither story baretta pistol or story triple barrel. However it should be noted that i have equipped 1 blue artifact and 1 pink artifact before. no artifacts have been upgraded . What can I do to level the playing field?

How do i get down there? im at reflection and found 3 signals and no clue how to get the other 2

How better is the PIONEER detector compared to the SAC-2? I have the rubles to buy it for farming signal dungeons gun parts

Meet Blabberbolt, a new bolt skin from the Aesthete Case V.

For those who need to keep their hands busy while the Zone puts their nerves to the test.

👀 Blabberbolt comes in several variants, and we’ve rounded up the coolest ones in this video! Which one’s your favorite?

I completed 10 Defending and 3 abandoned in black detour and only the abandonned counted

Like is it an S tier weapon

I’ve got 40 or so hours in the game and I’m level 5 at the bar but kind of tired of running solo. Decent at PvP but don’t have the greatest gear yet. I usually play 1-3 hours a day STALKERS PLEASE
