STALKER Series Megathread: All news we get about STALKER 2 are bad jokes and concept art

[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;34390352]Fully upgraded M14 + tactics manual + headshot achievement damage bonus = two-shotting chimeras. SGM endgame is fun![/QUOTE]

2shot chimeras, some of the most powerful organic beings on the planet that take massive fucking amounts of punishment from normal firearms to go down. Chimeras, creatures that have mutated to have a thick hide that can stop a nine-mill.

Still have to empty an entire fucking magazine into a single member of Alpha Detachment.

Also the BM16 in SGM is incredibly OP and the tactics manual for it is sitting right next to Nimble. I love it.

Really? I figured their stuff would be outdated and pretty weak.

And I'm hard-pressed to find a more deadly weapon than Predator. It's Trapper's shotgun and it has more damage than a normal Chaser 13. Chaser has 107 damage, Predator has 120 damage, add the headshot bonus and you get a whopping 143 damage.

It's kinda funny how some of the Alpha Squad Captains use the Power armor helmet from Fallout 3 :v:

[JoeSibilant]

Another SGM fun fact: The GP30 revolver, when loaded with SGM's magical explosive dum-dum rounds, do exactly enough damage to incapacitate most human enemies. Finishing off a building full of downed mercs is a great way to farm headshots.

The BM16 has slightly less damage but much better range than other shotguns. It's also fairly accurate once you upgrade it and get the manual. Plus since it's got a double trigger you can get both shells off in under a second, enough to kill pretty much anything.

I call it "the shit-slapper."

I go around with a deagle, MP5, ten F1's and merc armor just to pretend I'm Shephard.
The GP30 is when I pretend I'm playing Blacklight.

Listening to this when I play SGM from now on. I never really liked russian music, but Firelake is an awesome exception.

Out of curiosity, is there something particular about modding SoC with a retail box version? Never could get LURK or Doom's to work on it... Seem to recall someone else asking about this some pages ago...

[Ghost101]

Do you guys know if there's a torrent or better link out there for the latest TFW download? I've tried to get it, but the only mirror on the GSC Forums won't let me download due to high traffic, and Megaupload is gone.

So for SGM a good loadout would be the BM shotgun and a G43? Right now I'm rolling SPAS and the VAL. Can't decide on an armor yet, I have the SEVA suit and the CS Spetsnaz armor with that one helmet that has black and white night vision.

Protectra (+Tactics), Faction Exo (Dawn/Duty/Freedom/Merc), or possibly the blue Ecolog suit. Assault Rifle of your choice with decent scope and GL. PASSAT helm (or whatever the higher tier helmet that SGM added is, the one that comes with B/W NV as default). EDIT: Oh, you've found this one already.

Add grenades to taste, sprinkle with artifacts. Consume hot.

[Ghost101]

I always stayed away from the Exos in these games, I always thought they were kind of weird looking. I've been helping Dawn out at the moment, can I actually help the faction get stronger or am I just doing random missions for them?

Military exo is the best one but costs 300K, making it probably the most expensive artifact in the game.

Give me an idea for something to draw, related to STALKER ofcourse.

A Dutier in PSZ-9d armour, sans helmet, with an RPK over his shoulder. Maybe a mutant head in the other hand.

Just doing missions for them. I left the faction as soon as I finished off the last pseudogiant for the quest (seriously, WTF was up with that monster.) The nice thing about faction exos in SGM is that: a) they count as a closed cycle suit for the underground bit, b) you can wear them with helmets, and c) you can sprint with them automatically.

Where can I get a faction exo in 2.0? Time to whore artifacts and replace my super awesome custom ecologist suit.

Order one from the military dealer in Pripyat. It's expensive as hell but totally worth it.
Also, I found it kind of overwhelming that I couldn't ACTUALLY join the military faction in SGM :c

I couldn't get the Trader in Yanov to actually sell the exos after I ordered them, but the Dawn faction trader in the tunnel where you originally get the altered insulator sells them (you may have to join the faction first, I'm not sure). A word of warning, if you haven't been to the Dawn Base before, take an RPG-7.

I completely repelled the attack with only my Eliminator. Those Dawn guys didn't do shit except fire a rocket that didn't hit anything.

I tried to use a shotgun in that mission, but that crazy motherfucker's rocket launcher always hit me with it's blast radius.

Luckily, I got my revenge when Noah's barge defence came up. I was standing on the tower with my 35 rockets, shooting every single group that got near the barge. That blast radius is swell as fuck, I even managed to snipe the Shevchenko Controller with a rocket.

That attack was insane. The guy with the RPG ended up killing one of his own guys and wounding me pretty badly. Eventually repelled the attack with a bunch of grenades.

[Zombini]

As i've said about 4 times in this thread, why the fuck do i crash with SGM 2.0? I had no other mods installed, and i can load a game once, and after that, i blue screen, it dumps everything from the RAM, and the game never gets a chance to write a log for me to show you.
