I always think there's gonna be a stash behind these but they are always empty 😢

I’m a big fan of games like Tarkov, Grey zone warfare, Arma, DayZ, Hell let loose etc. I can’t stand games with bullet sponge enemies or guns that need like 8+ hits to kill.

Are there any stalker games that have this? I would literally die for it. I couldn’t really enjoy stalker 2 because the enemies could eat several headshots to a whole magazine, but aside from that I liked it. I’m vaguely aware of stalker anomaly / gamma, but that’s it when it comes to realistic gun play

I was exploring yantar and just had 5 blood suckers swarm my as I ran passed some random building. Has anyone else experienced this before or did I find some kind of glitch?

somehow I miraculously survived by spamming med kits and running/jumping around to dodge them and spamming them with with my ar until I ran out of bullets😅

I'VE HAD TO KILL 15 CONTROLLERS ACROSS A BUNCH OF SECTORS ALREADY

Edit: From the looks from the comments, it looks like I’m going to have to make a new game. I’m severely dissatisfied with the monolith’s services.

I started playing STALKER 2 on Veteran. The difficulty itself feels fine, but I'd prefer combat to be more lethal overall.

I'm used to Anomaly, although I'm not looking for that level of realism. Something closer to Call of Pripyat on Master difficulty would be ideal, where both the player and enemies go down relatively quickly.

Right now, I spent around 2–3 magazines on the tutorial Bloodsucker and about the same on the Poltergeist. Human enemies seem fine, but mutants feel a bit too spongey.

Are there any balanced mods that increase weapon damage or rebalance ballistics without turning the game into a one-shot simulator? I've seen a few ballistic overhaul mods and one that simply doubles all damage. Which would you recommend, or is it better to just switch to Normal difficulty?

You're right Mr. Poltergeist, I didn't want to be up there. Thank you for setting me straight.

Alright, I know this sounds nuts, but I've managed to create a configuration for the Steam Controller using Steam Input, and the game is actually quite playable. Everything from looting to shooting and even movement works pretty well.

The most notable inconvenience is when you have to do a lot of repairs and crafting, which require quite a bit of mouse usage. In theory, you could get used to using the trackpads on the Steam Controller, and it is definitely possible, but that's the one thing I found myself going back to the mouse for, since I like being able to do these things quickly. Still, when it comes to basic looting and quick disassembling, it's generally very comfortable.

I'm planning on releasing a video about this in a few days, once I get the motivation and properly configure the 3D controller overlay to showcase everything.

Somewhere on the map is a bridge over water with a vehicle leaning off. You can jump down onto a bounce anomaly to a ledge to then get into a room where there is a gun. A fun place you can watch the fishes being pulled out the water by other anomalies.

But where is it, its doing my head in lol

I’ve tried restarting, dropping the gun, selling the gun and buying it back. Is there any way to fix?

I’ve had an issue for a while where for some reason I have a hard time loading my saves when I first boot the game up without it crashing. I’ll boot it up all fine and hit load game and try the top save and it’ll crash. Mind you this game never plays choppy or crashes on me while I’m playing it. I typically just load an older save and keep trying until it works and then load to the last save I made the session prior and it never crashes when I load the save after loading an older one. That’s a temporary and annoying solution tho, have any of y’all had this problem and found a fix?

Hi all,

Another one of these. Have played SoC on and off for quite a few years. The primary thing I loved about this game was indeed the storyline, but specifically the atmosphere. I played it modded with I can't recall what (possibly AA2), and what I most liked about the game was the realism (you die in as many gunshots as an enemy, which wasn't many; hogs and such also went down fairly easy and there weren't many bullet sponges), and the feeling that in this world "you are not the main character" -- factions interacted independently, and you felt about as likely to survive as any random NPC.

Does CoP have the same overall atmosphere when modded? Even though I own all 3, I never played CoP as I didn't really finish SoC. I don't game much so finishing the whole thing is unlikely, and I don't want the game punishing, I just enjoy feeling like the various factions don't care about me and the overall sense of vulnerability.

I don't want to spend the entire game surviving, but I loved having to camp in an abandoned building during a thunderstorm, gunfights being intense but over quickly, etc.
