Who needs Enemies with Friends like this... ☢️ S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAMMA Invictus - Ep.10

[@robertharris4129]

Just wanted to drop in and say that this is your best paced and edited series to date. It's not often that I become interested in a long form playthrough of a game, but I've definitely been engrossed in this one! I've been subscribed for a while and you've been putting out a lot of great stuff this year. Thanks for all the amazing videos and look forward to the next episode!

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@PipatkoCZ]

yeah, i never watch stalker videos longer than 20minutes, but your videos are magical :D@@CheekiBreekiTv

[@jtojagicc]

that lag around 14:00 at Foresters could be a game generating a new squad and one of the places the game puts it is right there. And before anyone comments, yes I know about exclusion radius and all other stuff, I have seen a squad spawn there before, like watched them appear from thin air. IDK if it's a bug or feature but it makes me hesitant to loiter around Forester's

[@szowink]

i think they could be going from Jupiter over there or other transition point. Because i once was in Cordon and saw a Merc squad right at the Swamp transition (near Xeno), i sneak past them and go to the Swamp, fight the Regegades right at the start of the transition point and those Merc squad spawn in a few moment later.

[@davidkaye8712]

"Let me try to sneak on them" BOOM !!! "OK no !" 🤣

[@TheDaaabou]

Fighting AI seems to be easy to trick. Anytime you do a self check, like eating, healing, open the inventory they rush in.

[@zxcvb864]

I wish I didn't discover this, now they're so easy to cheese

[@TheDaaabou]

@@zxcvb864 Consider it as an irrepressible taunt :)

[@bope5706]

Yeah. This mechanic exists in base anomaly but its cranked up to 11 in gamma. Would make the game easy if it werent for the fact that you spend half the game with weapons that cant easily kill them when they do push

[@AdamWalkLikeSuicide]

Mines are useful for this. Place a mine, hide round the corner, declare: "ohh no, I need to reload and take some painkillers.", wait for explosion.

[@zxcvb864]

@@AdamWalkLikeSuicide I'm sorry but what is wrong with your head bro, Megamind looking mf

[@big_guy_noice]

Rumors are spreading about your latest efforts and videos. You gained more trust among big guys

[@brockrich614]

Thank god I've been waiting on this! Been watching your 2022 play through. Crazy to see how much has changed in the game and the way you play it since then.

[@zicaowastaken]

I seriously love stalker and your content im always happy when you release a video 😊 Stalker has a good place in my heart because it entertained me on my bad times Hope you have a great New Years ❤❤

[@peerapatkajangpho2063]

Man you are number one for stalker channel for me. I started playing stalker because of you (anomaly one) and i still watch you even its late, so sleepy and i slept thru sometime lol you play like real player would do not try to be too immersive or all sort of that keep up the good work mate

[@Andrzej-hk9wq]

You roast your sniper so much he didn't even answer. Probably he cries during the night after. Give him some booze or something to wipe the tears.

[@volnyckyi]

I`ve enjoyed your GAMMA series so much!

[@retrolinkx]

Just wanna say man, I love watching these. Unironically one of my favourite videos to see pop up in my feed. I hope if this run ends with success or failure, you do something similar again. It's very comfy and entertaining.

[@Venoxium]

3:50 The Artifact on companion thing has worked for a looooooong time. I've been doing that for the past like 5 months.

[@ttttttttony]

The title of this episode had me nervous the whole time, thought your companion pushed you somewhere unsafe with that last life.. omg!

[@SlashConno]

Really enjoying this series. In regard to the reload bug, I play the with ammo counter on in the bottom left, and I have noticed that even though the reload animation is finished, the ammo count doesn't go to full for a second or so after sometimes. If I swap weapons or put my gun away or whatever puts my gun down, before the ammo count goes to full even after the animation, the gun won't be reloaded the next time I try and use it. To avoid this, after reloading, I just wait a second or so to do anything after the animation is done just to be sure its reloaded. I hope this helps!

[@volodymyrlukashchuk4867]

Nice video! Considering the name of it AND the fact that you gave your mate a Gauss, I thought he would shot you from it in the end :D

[@gartenstuhl2396]

I was worried as well for the same reason

[@deividasma7343]

I have noticed that some of the AI is better with some of the weapons I had given interesting full auto weapons to rookie loner but one that stood up was SIG Arrow I watched him wipe the floor with 4 cats in seconds so it kinda was a main weapon he had until idiot decided to take on the pseudo at miracle machine even if i told him to hold position by the flame pipe part.. I turned him from Rookie to Professional kinda was tempting to savescum him back but maybe it was time for him to go

[@hugo2242]

I hope stalker 2 will have more cutscenes of sidorovich eating chicken

[@ryuhanja3415]

You should enable the “gamma reload timing” mod, a lot of the time you think you reload but you switched right before the bullets were put in the gun, there is a mod that fixes all of that and can be enabled in gamma disabled

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

Just installed the latest updates and I can see it's on by default! Good to know thanks!

[@xXRealXx]

Nice! I've been waiting for this!

[@TheDaaabou]

Me too FIRST! :-)

[@AboveTheChemist]

I normally don't like pre-planting explosives where ambushes will spawn, by my goodness I tried that Sin ambush in Cordon so many times and they ended up shredding me (Merc ACE with best artifacts) every time. I eventually gave up and used the BOOM BOOM method to great effect.

[@mvrkinlink7416]

i love ur content bro and personnaly i can t play stalker in iron man caus i alwas die in the first day in rookie village caus of the mutants

[@Eladnav1]

the red forest just seems to have a high "squad-throughput" making people magically apear.

[@ttttttttony]

best farming in red forest

[@abumy4]

if you want a more fair approach to artifacts in companion inventories, tick on companion carry weight overhaul. It makes it so they get carry weight bonuses from backpacks/attachments/arties, but they also won't take artifacts without containers(the ones that irradiate ofc

[@Maki_Tsuki]

I love how everything in the game think you killed a snork even though it was a giant and it tanked all those shots.

[@daulatneupane4055]

I read that title in your voice haha.

[@battlefieldbob9074]

I’m running with a legendary stalker who insists on mag-dumping every enemy no matter what. This is fine except he has a bolt-action rifle, so after the enemies die, he takes the next 10 seconds to fire off another 10 bullets into the ground.

[@Purpose_Tortoise]

The Red Forest always finds a way to mess with stalkers. I hate that place. Also I tried that stash parkour jump about 20 times and just gave up. Thought it's just impossible 😂

[@szowink]

the not loaded gun bug, i think it could be because you switch to another weapon too early before the ammo acutally loaded ( eventhough the animation finished ) so thats why its not loaded. New GAMMA update has a new mod called "Reload Timing Fix" that fixed the issue, gun actually loaded as soon as the reload animation is done.

[@FilipBurovski]

I noticed if you give a experienced rank companion or above a good sniper and I really mean a good sniper not something like a Mosin they actually tend to be really useful sniping from a distance but that could just be my feeling on the matter great vid!

[@northstar92]

just had a lone companion snipe a lurker mid-lunge that would've killed me

[@PauLDMD91]

24:36 "come to me" Are you brain washed and turn your self into the WISH GRANDER now? 😂😂😂

[@valdarkwall]

Hey, this "random leaders giving random missions" thing is not necessary for invictus as I know, you can simply ignore this "questline". Also, for increased speed / longer jumps don't run with 2handed weapon, it slows you down. Just holster your weapon or run with a pistol.

[@Venoxium]

Quick question, do you use a ReShade preset and if so what one? Also how big of an FPS difference is ReShade? I initially removed it because I had like a 8fps increase after uninstalling but with the new christmas update, they started having this weird ugly preset by default WITHOUT ReShade. So i'd rather my game not look weird

[@kopz77]

if this all works out i must see last dawn for clear sky

[@hitfan]

At 11:39 there's Dazhbog's body. Isn't something wrong with it?

[@tierka221]

I'm trying to follow your playthrough as my first gamma attempt, ofc not with invictus but hard/surv, the only part I miss is artifact spawn so it's day 18 and I struggle to craft high tier artifact even with good arti hunting rades. Without them I don't wanna go to CNPP. Even with pretty busted start like day 3 full CEBA costume and day 6 ak105 with duty kit it took me super long to find expert tools. Any tips for artifact crafting?

[@peterkuchenbecker5251]

I always have a bad feeling about the Red Forrest .

[@ogorhan]

Hello, nice video again. I have a question, where do you get the VSS Vintorez Merc version? I had a look at the debug menu just to see if its in the game but the only special version I saw was the Venal and Savant version.

[@Xednii]

What's your graphic settings, and are you using ReShade?

[@fightshyper]

This standalone mod is very RAM intensive! You gotta have at least 16GB ram and 6gb vram to play it with some additional mods. Otherwise, you will get so many CTDs (especially with bottlenecked systems).

[@szowink]

im having 32gb of RAM and still occasionally ctd with no error ( i supposed that is like what you said ). I think its just GAMMa ( Anomaly ) being GAMMA, old fucked up engine.

[@fightshyper]

@@szowink Idk if it's the engine itself, or my system. Because it happened too back in the hey days of Clear Sky, when 8GB RAM was the most must have Ram amount.

[@hitfan]

Is the SR-25 better than your 9x39 or RD9-39?

[@chuckchuk5157]

yow, what's your reshade preset at?

[@venarusvulpin6089]

Where is the ammo counter in your hud? You need that to help with reload glitches. The reload doesn't finish until you see the counter reset. If you do anything to interrupt it before the counter updates then the reload is aborted and your gun is empty.

[@SpecShadow]

At least Sakharov did not give you "Anomalous Study" task - they are weird sometimes. You go to the marked spot and can't do it for some reasons. You can walk around, melting/burning and damaging your suit - nothing works.. Then some completely random spot in the Zone works - even with no anomalies nearby... which is shame because I like nonviolent tasks in the GAMMA.

[@miketron3363]

Lets goooo new vid

[@hitfan]

And I have a question. I almost fully upgraded the Monolith Exo and then found Merc ACE Suit. Should I switch to ACE or stick with Exo?

[@viktorkovacs5873]

If you have good arties to fill ACE then go with it. Both are good tho

[@hitfan]

I have 95% full empty and 56% kompass. Will it be enough?

@@hitfan you can use those with the exo. ACE’s only benefits are more belt slots and better speed

@@hunszaszist I don’t remember 100% but I think I reloaded the save and he still asked for a full empty lmao

[@davidleloup7108]

Tu trouves pas que les scopes sont vraiment moche sur Gamma? Je comprends pas pourquoi car quand on regarde la liste des mods présents ils sont sensé être jolie. En connais tu la raison?

[@bierrollerful]

Do you have to do those fake main missions (go to X, do fetch mission) to get the Invictus achievement?

[@hunszaszist]

I think it goes until you unlock the Sin faction? Honestly the Sin quest is so boring I've just started a new game and never finished it - and Invictus is super hard.

[@szowink]

pretty sure the invictus challenge have clearly state that "all main missions" which is all the yellow ones

[@tomigun5180]

Be happy you have those quests (they are just placeholders). The older versions of Anomaly did not have anything resembling a questline. Quests aren't a priority in Anomaly.

[@bierrollerful]

@@szowink The three main missions required are Living Legend, Mortal Sin and Operation Afterglow - in that order. I doubt the endless fetch missions contribute to that, hence the question.

Gauss Rifle or any other sniper on companion just sucks. They need AR or machine gun and they are pretty good.

[@gashokelliot9467]

gamma destroyed the ai, they used to sneak up behind me waiting to the last moment to strike, and now? EnEmY ThEre RuN aT, WhAt Was I dOIng? (3 seconds later). oH eNeMy tHeRe (1 foot away), MmMmM ShOOt. they used to stay behind cover (you know the advantageous position) and wait for you to expose your self, patience used to be required in firefights. now an entire building of monolith will rush you like its a crappy zombies mod for csgo. and on the rare occasion they dont rush you get full auto'd to the head with seemingly no recoil. are the ai changes in the modlist? i should 86 them. that'll probably break the game, crash on start up. not much of a "modular modpack"

[@szowink]

Did Cheeki do exactly what you said? waiting patiently in the previous episode? If you havent played the modlist i dont think you should be so quick to jugde. In my experience they're both have their dumdum moment and John Wick moment. But i find that their John Wick moment is more present. Especially that feature like in soulslike games, they waited for you to not drawing your gun ( opening inventory, healing, eating ) and then immediately rush, i think that was fair and challenge. And they DO PATIENTLY wait in cover, garuanteed! Another behavior which is both a pain in the ass and make me appreciate the AI is that they quickly peak out shoot you and then quickly get back in cover. In a common mindset is you would think they will do that again everytime but no, they will slowly crounch peak out and shoot you while you expecting they to be peak out standing and thats enough to kill you. I dont know what youre talking about the crash on start up and claiming its not a modular modpack tho. If youre not intentionally adding more mods yourself on top of GAMMA, it would likely only crash because you dont have enough RAM or the game has been running too long and its started to get heavy since Anomaly has a old engine.
