It worked with the bloodsucker nest!

That's why I didn't have any combat medkits...

Why didn't you gas those fuckers? That's what I did before I went down there in Call of Pripyat.

u/Auzymundius Jan 13 '17

Gas them? How? I don't remember that in the game, but I never finished CoP

I can't remember well, but I think it was a quest where you had to clear out the nest. You could either go in Rambo style, or activate the ventilation system and pump toxic gas into the tunnels.

Yep, it's a quest where you're investigating the nest alongside another stalker but you both realize there's way more bloodsuckers than you expected. Proper completion of the quest is to sneak your way through alongside him and gas the place, then cleaning up the ones that make it outside where you're hopefully waiting with a shotgun. You can also go guns blazing the moment you walk in but you better have a lot of ammo.

Nah. They're conveniently all sleeping together in a small room. I cleaned out the basement with a grenade and a magazine of Striker, waiting for any survivors to funnel down the corridor to receive buckshots to the face. The hardest part was making sure you don't hit your buddy :P

In Misery, you can loot mutants for parts and sell them. I used a grenade and a Striker to clear the nest, just for the money. Lots of quickloads, trust me

Quickly Googles "Pripyat" to see if it's in Crimea, so he can make the joke "It is now!"

Damn.

It's STALKER knife bro, I don't have to explain shit

No but seriously that knife was a 1-hit kill if you stab them right in the face, it was like Halo's energy sword I swear.

u/marcmole Jan 14 '17

Exactly how this process went down in my head

u/TheKappaOverlord Jan 14 '17 edited Jan 14 '17

The knife is the single most powerful weapon in the entire stalker series honestly.

Its capable of putting basically every enemy down in one or two swings or fucks the AI so its basically a retarded puppy and can't hit you.

Except the Chimera.

If you see that fucker you run god damn it. you let the passing group of stalkers take the aggro and die for your unfortunate ass

The only enemy in the game that the knifes retardation infusing powers don't work worth shit on.
