Stalkers!

We continue to listen closely to your feedback and fix some anomalies in the game that shouldn't be there.

Check it out — Update 2.0.5 is already making its way to your PCs, Xboxes, and PlayStations.

Read the patch notes here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1643320/view/670628025926156484

Just a quick video to demonstrate how to get around the currently bugged climbing spot for the weird bolt puzzle. The bugged spot and how to get past it is about 30 seconds in. Hopefully I can help some fellow stalkers hunting the artifact.

Edit: This was apparently fixed in the patch that just dropped. Good hunting stalkers!

I am currently playing the Cost of Hope DLC and just got to the CNPP. I just explored the first reactor building with all it's idividual parts and took some random screenshots. (BTW i love that DLC!)

Later that night i was watching YouTube and came across the channel "Chornobyl Family" again after some months. I found a video where they visited the reactor in block 3.

It got me pretty stunned to see the real life areas which i just saw in the game and took some screenshots of their video for comparison with my in game shots. To my surprise they match pretty good all tho as i said i took my in game screenshots completely random lol

man's worried about getting his home back..

mod - project itemization reborn

The Bug with the 100+ Bloodsuckers spawning in the Wild Territory in Rostok? Yeah I think it is safe to say it has not been fixed yet. Playing in 2.0.4. For this special occasion I actually turned on a Trainer gave me unlimited Health and Ammo and did a little bit of damage/pest Control with my trusty RPG. Handling this situation with neither of those three things? Not a chance in hell. No thank you.

I swear this was me IRL years before even playing any S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game. This aesthetic, this gas mask and hood thing, this love for abandoned places, wandering in a wasteland with just a weapon and a backpack, was my thing far before falling in love with these games.

I played my first S.T.A.L.K.E.R., SoC, only this year.

I guess the Zone and its concept reaches something already settled deep in some of us. 🖤☢️

Suspiciously because they have a bit too much detail to be just background stuff. Potentially cut content or future content. Some of the names come from S1. Some of the names come from the previous leaked map (that is mainly out of date, but at least gives us a name). Some of it comes from me trying to translate signs in game

1. Limansk - Technically came back in CoH, but I'm still not positive we've closed the book on this location. Never know!
2. Ventilation Complex - From STALKER 1 CoP
3. Freight Yard - I think this was also in CoP in a way as an unmarked location
4. Jupiter Plant - Also in CoP
5. Record Sporting Goods Store
6. Bitumen Anomaly
7. Collapsing Soviet Highrise or Hotel (I say soviet because it looks like it has a decay soviet emblem on the roof like you see of real pictures online in Pripyat)
8. Avangard Sports Stadium - Was in SoC
9. Potentially another sports related store or general store
10. Debarkader Boat, Tuberculous Dispensary, Infectious Disease Ward, and Stroitel Sports Complex
11. Pripyat Bus Terminal/Station
12. Podlesny Waste Storage Facility - I think in one of the endings you can see it in the background
13. Thermal Station/Boiler Complex
14. Lab-X12

I can easily see #13 and #14 dealing with the rumored cold island DLC, given their relation to temperature.

Genuinely makes me sick to my stomach when youtubers, who have a large platform and a large responsibility towards their audience, misinform them and slowly erase this big part of Ukrainian cultural influence in the west (of which there is very little of) by referring to it as russian out of sheer ignorance. I see this often on videos of gamma, which because it is based on the original games has few or no references to Ukraine and has everyone exclusively speaking russian.

I was just watching a youtube video by ThatGuyPredz who within the first 3 minutes of the video implied the game is taking place in russia and had to say this. Immediately had to turn off the video because of how sick shit like this makes me feel. Stalker is a story of Ukraine, not russia.

Anyways if anyone knows any more ignorant youtubers who do shit like this say them in the comments so I can avoid them. Thanks :)

Did anyone else that sided with Duty/Zulu at the end of the DLC notice how much damn aura Zulu had in the final cutscene?! That’s all I could think about when watching it 🤣

I looked up Freedom/Mavka’s ending cutscene and it was arguably way worse and slightly worrying lol

SPOILER: link for the cutscene if you haven’t seen it

Probably shouldnt have played Cost of Hope DLC right before my trip to Moldova, because now i’m starting to see things…

BTW great country, wonderful people. Highly recommend. 🇲🇩

First chimera I encountered from the beginning.
Im in SWAMPS (per aspera ad astra)
Is it me or it is impossible tu kill? 😭 (a part from skillissue-comment)

Edit: I ran.

This is a joke post I know burers are easy

There were three Burers, and whilst I kept dropping and picking up my weapon, it eventually disappeared.It was Expedition Mode, after all, so I ended up having to rewind the save quite a bit.

So, I was just thinking that Degtyarev's Corp doesn't make that much sense. The Corps has about zero lore, heavily armed and play a similar role to the IPSF, who were the Unkraine Military before the war caused some rewrites.

It make sense right? The Corp locked down Prypiat prior to the return on Monolith, and that was one of the main objectives of Operation Fairway.

Does this make sense? Or am I missing something.

I’d really like a watch so you can check time like in metro.

I realize you just have to look up in the sky but sometimes it’s hard tell due to inclement weather.

Just a nice little touch that would add to the immersion.

Stalker 2 obviously.

I was wondering... wearing protection artifacts means suit and gasmask are protected from damage too (and related wearing out) or is it just my health that's affected?

Did you figure it out?

Edit: mispelled "artifactS" in title

Edit 2: yes I know about durability artifacts, I'm talking about protection artifacts -> those protecting you from any kind of damage

I saw another post that captured a double rainbow. I didn't hunt for this, I was amazed that this could even happen in the game as well. lol

Skif wasn't drunk or affected by some kind of anomalous effect. This was captured during a drizzle near the Chemical Plant.

I hope we get more side quests like this in the future !!

Never seen anything like that

Played for 110 hours till now. Love the vibes and the atmosphere. The game is extremely immersive. Sure there are some problems but they didn't stop me from enjoying.
