Wow what the hell was that guy made of, never seen anyone this resistant to bullets in Anomaly! It's a bit sad that this base is so empty loot wise, especially the basement. Some stash of some Monolith supergear would make the trip and the fight a bit more worthwhile.

I wish there were more stalkers, and especially Monolith, with the sort of endurance that one had. It would be entertaining to have some occasional rare encounters with those sorts of mini bosses in Anomaly to spice things up.

Never seen Monolith Center so empty Dont like shotguns? in close quarters, specially the saw-off shotguns are the best
@RRCMRico3 ай бұрын
Yeah I don't know why it was so empty. Empty of Monolith. Empty of loot. Empty in general. Kind of appropriate for Monolith though haha. I passed through "central" Pripyat every now and then in prior months though up until this raid I steered clear of the Palace of Culture. I killed a lot of Monolith in other parts of central Pripyat but always thought those were random patrols. Maybe some of those Monolith I killed in earlier times were from their base and I was softening it up without knowing... I don't know. I like shotguns, however I generally favor them for mutants. Also in some prior S.T.A.L.K.E.R. videos I made some person(s) asked me to try varying my loadout a bit so that is why I am experimenting with weapon combos that don't include shotgun lately. For this raid specifically I wanted to use the "Hammer", however my good condition upgraded one is in Zaton right now. I chose the special AKS-74U because it was available at my main Jupiter stash, I haven't used it much, and it seemed suitable because I anticipated fighting stalkers way more than mutants in this trip. When I go north of Zaton I will most likely use the Hammer - my favorite shotgun - because most of the enemies up there are mutants.

Привет Рико, скажи, как ты относишься к сборкам на аномалию, например Expedition или Redux, и хотел бы ты поиграть в них на ютуб? ?
@RRCMRico3 ай бұрын
Until you mentioned them, I actually wasn't aware of them. Thanks for mentioning them. Hopefully I found the correct pages for these on Moddb. I don't anticipate me playing these, however I am glad they exist. Some quick impression(s): Expedition www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/expedition-graphical-overhaul-addon-for-anomaly-151 This is pretty, though it looks a little too much like an early access tactical shooter I might see on Steam these days. Redux www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/stalker-old-world-redux-152 I'm more likely to play this one than Expedition. I anticipate this to be less likely to crash than Expedition, so that helps. I like these sort of throwback mods, and in general I have a soft spot for games with throwback elements in them. On the topic of crashes, one of the many reasons I still play Anomaly vanilla is the stability. It very, very rarely crashes. Right now I can't remember the last time I had a crash in it. I hated the crashing I got in late CoC and early Misery 2.2 with the Armed Zone. I only have so much "spare time" these days for gaming and try to use it as best as I can.

@RRCMRico4 ай бұрын
Anomaly has campaigns, however as I have not played them I cannot speak to the quality of them. I don't typically gravitate to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. mod campaigns because the main appeal of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for me is its replayability and emergent gameplay, and after finishing the main 3 game campaigns I just haven't felt the need for anything remotely linear like that in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I still have a pile of things I have yet to do in Anomaly and gradually doing those things fuels my continued interest in it. These days I find that all games I have played so far get boring eventually if I play them enough, and even classics like Anomaly and Breath of the Wild and so on can get boring eventually.

When you have your inventory open, is that an empty slot under ur suit? I am watching videos on Gamma as well so I get confused If you have some Rucksake perhaps you can carry more. Of course my favorite! a companion, especially if you choose them from higher ranks so they won't be killed easily by the Zone. Initially in the Zone, you have two major problems radiation and carrying weight. Obviously

I see other people use companion stalkers as mules, however outside of Skyrim I haven't wanted to do that because it feels quite silly haha. The ecologist proto-exo suit I use does not have an option to use a backpack like some other suits do in Anomaly. I haven't played Gamma so I don't know how suits and inventory are handled in that.

The next one will most likely be a raid video without commentary. After that, I am leaning towards doing another little commentary series in a different area of the Zone. In between planned attempts at recording stuff, I still gather little bits of footage as I do "typical" tasks throughout the Zone. Lately I spend a lot of time collecting supplies in preparation for doing things on my Zone bucket list.

why not shotguns, they are very good for mutants and close combat, also u can make the shots urself specially buckshots. on grenades, if u want to throw them far u must keep them in ur hand longer, also even if u dont hit them, they will show themselves to try to change their place!😉😉 and about artifacts, I ususally just keep those which r good for carry more weight and anti radiation, the rest are for sell, however it looks like in this game we must have different ones to repair or buy something!! i dont know!!
@RRCMRico4 ай бұрын
Excellent tips in there. Thank you :-D I consider the ideal weapon loadout to be an assault rifle with an underbarrel grenade launcher as primary, and a semi-automatic shotgun as a secondary. Unfortunately there aren't that many semi-auto shotguns in the Zone, and sometimes I don't have as many shells in stock in certain areas as I would like. These days I am experimenting with non-shotguns for secondary to make use of ammo I have a lot of that I don't typically use, and to see what alternative loadouts are feasible overall. I'm having pretty good success with some higher-tier pistol options, and I enjoy the variety even if the loadout doesn't quite work out. Artifacts in Anomaly are kind of tricky in that they have pros and cons that need to be considered carefully depending on what you want to do, where you are, and what you have equipped. I think the balance is pretty good, and maybe a bit more thoughtful than other versions of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I have played so far. The additional carry weight artifacts, namely Goldfish in Anomaly, have a pretty big penalty for impact, rupture, and explosion protection and so I try to avoid using them as much as I can.
