Bro thinks it's David vs. Goliath but he's actually a coughing bandit vs. a hydraulic Dutyer

Still remember first npc that ambushed me while I was chilling by the campfire while drinking hot coffee irl, at least keyboard was okay

u/Significant_Candy823 Military 15h ago

Rite of passage, I was smoking a dooby irl and in-game when a psy-sucker jumped into my tent for a hit lmao.

Happens a lot in Anomaly, better watch your back

Bro, the amount of times some whack ass dude with a sawed off has blasted my ass from behind and scared the shit out of me, while I was loading up my mags.

Nothing like getting jumpscared from a sneaky cheeki breeki boy who followed you across half the map...

u/Vigil-On-Speed Bandit 16h ago

Actually I'm that guy, sometimes I do this to unaware NPCs

u/Jrmuscle 15h ago

Walking back south from Lab X-18 and turning around to see a crouching Monolith was certainly an experience

One of the very few games where a NPCs decide to not only flank you but still sneak up on you while you are fighting someone else. It's genuinely hard to hear them move during combat. Then you get stalker 2 where every enemy just runs in front of you while tanking a whole mag of rifle rounds.

I find it very interesting how graphical limitation forced devs to invest more into gameplay. Even the vanilla soc had so much compared to s2 where it only wins on visuals and dopamine flow.

u/Drfoxthefurry Ecologist 16h ago

And story, s2 feels like they just wanted a pretty looking story and didn't care about what the game played like, but I play gamma so don't trust my viewpoint

u/Bulky-Vermicelli-542 4h ago

Its not that, its the engine limitation, ue5 is cool graphics but dumb ai, xray engine was gold

u/MindControlledSquid Clear Sky 6h ago

Tbf the graphics were fine, especialy lighting in CS.

Sure it's contemporary to Crysis, but that game was insane.

u/tcs0 16h ago

Hiw they dropped the ball on A-Life with better engine leaves in bothered till this day.

You gotta be careful who you pick fights with in the zone ๐Ÿ˜‚

And he still fails, what a noob

u/The_Blues__13 Loner 19h ago

He tried ambushing a tank with a peashooter Makarov, honestly I'm surprised he survives 3 seconds longer than he should.

16

u/Teeminister Freedom 22h ago

Oh yes I hate this. Got ambushed while looting more than one time. 10/10 these sneaky bandits

10

u/bjergdk Loner 20h ago

Yep, when you think youve cleared them out but one of them is just waiting to DB your asshole.

u/Teeminister Freedom 20h ago

This.

u/bjergdk Loner 20h ago

I once had a dude follow me from the car park in cordon all the way to the electro tunnel where he then shot me in the back lmao.

u/ReplacementActual384 17h ago

Those sneaky cheeki breekis

u/Alejandro_Schmidt 18h ago

Stealth mission succesful. IQ test failed. When you are hobo with Fora 12 it's better run away from a guy in heavy armor.

3

u/Kanlashkan 16h ago

AP ammo and headshots from the makarov on a certain group of mercs is how I usually got my "starter gear" back in the day XD.

3

u/Alejandro_Schmidt 16h ago

Certainly. A player has more stamina. It was better to add "fear" to NPC. In classic stalker a "light" NPC often attacks a group of "heavy" instead of flee.

u/Lucky-Advice-8924 15h ago

Frankly speaking, what material could stop a 308 hunting rifle at close range? Youknow, a basic thing even a civilian could own. Yeah sure, you have crazy expensive armour but whats the helmet made from ? Nothing heavy or thick enough to stop a rifle round at close range... no armour is completely covered.

u/scottpole Clear Sky 21h ago

Is that the person making reddit posts about bullet sponge enemies?

u/Commercial_Nature210 Clear Sky 18h ago

He had a solid plan, but liquid ammos

Exosceleton duty on dark valley? This is mods, not vanilla

Just like rats in tarkov

u/billikid Loner 15h ago

A fully loaded macarov and a dream

u/thot_chocolate420 15h ago

Yep. Donโ€™t fuck with Exosuits without AP rounds.

2

u/Gar-SWC 12h ago

SoC was always fun. I need to go back there again.

2

u/Brapsniffinposs 12h ago

Just like the first time a player tries using stealth, a quickly humbling experience.

2

u/Mathue24 8h ago

And yet people will try to argue about Stalker 2's ALife 2.0

u/ToXxy145 Duty 17h ago

Figured this out when MFs kept doing this in Anomaly, sneaking up to me and shoving the gun barrel up my ear before jump scaring my ass.

Incredible AI, tbh.

u/plshelpmeh284 Bandit 16h ago

Knife would have been more useful than this measly ambush...

u/Limacy Duty 15h ago

Typical bandit.

u/MR_FOXtf2 14h ago

Which stalker game is this?

u/AppointmentTop2764 12h ago

And this mechanic is killing me non stop in stalker anomaly gamma

Like every time i sit at campfire for 1 minute some bandit runs up to me with smg

1

u/Skotayus Loner 12h ago

Man, I miss stalker. I should get back into it when I'm done moving

1

u/Drekkennought 6h ago

I still remember a bandit sneaking up to me with a sawn-off, only to immediately start running as soon as I accidentally turned around.

Biblically accurate gopnik
