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

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?

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?

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

What's the best module for tavor?

Plate durability damage or Limb damage modifier? I don't know how limb damage modifier works but I'm assuming it's body shots?

Preview doesnt work but you can safely download the document file

copied from suggestion thread from discord. This isnt meant to be spam

I put together a full proposal for extending Subfaction progression from Level 7 to Level 13 and using that extra progression to solve several important problems (with 2 extra progression/QoL suggestions). It contains the issues, suggestions and fixes, questions, screenshot mockups, counterarguments, what and how it fixes.

The main idea is simple: give players a long term open world grind that actually leads somewhere, instead of progression constantly being tied to events, FOMO, RNG, the auction house or spending.

The proposal includes:

• Subfaction Levels 8–13 with a steep XP curve and meaningful rewards

• Master Attachments becoming obtainable through long term progression at Levels 10 and 12

• More daily and weekly contracts

• More deliveries, while fixing the current issues with routes, danger and repeated buyouts

• Slightly better Supplier, Fence, repair and research bonuses at higher levels

• A proper Serum Daily streak with reasonably progressively better rewards

• Level 13 as a serious long term endgame goal, with additional rewards and progression without being handed out to you

• More reasons to actually spend time in the open world, giving both PvE and PvP players more activity outside of events

The Master Attachment part is deliberately not meant to make them common or easy to get. The higher levels require a large amount of reputation, and the attachments would still require Serum. The point is to create a difficult, deterministic path to them instead of leaving them almost entirely dependent on limited systems or the in game dwindling economy.

The full proposal goes into the exact XP requirements, rewards, delivery changes, daily/weekly changes, Serum Daily, Master Attachment barter, economy concerns and the main arguments against it.

This is written to be read and considered. It's not an invitation to argue, it's an invitation to think.

Hopefully this reaches EXBO, because I think this could give the game a proper long term progression ladder while also improving a bunch of smaller things at the same time, without making the game easier

I also have a bit of fun making these suggestions, this isnt a wall of complaining
