Do This After The Lesser Zone in Stalker 2!

[@DAAAAAAAAMMMMMN]

If you want an easy way to kill the wizards just use the starting pistol they cant steal it because it's a quest item

[@crazyforblues1967]

Burer. But yes.

[@DarthKilaj85]

I have notices they also can't steal grenades I used those when I face them in areas that are small especially like where he was for the shotgun and they didn't steal my grandes

[@jeambeam3173]

I'm glad u said something. I was thinking this might be the case but when I tried it I still used my tactic of shoot a few rounds then quickly switch weapons

[@AustinLiscum-p2b]

Ive had burers blow grenades up in the air as soon as i let them fly, blowing up right in my face

[@skateseveryday]

You're a wizard Harry.

[@mortenfrosthansen84]

I Iike the VS Vintar.. silenced, packs a punch, accurate, relatively low weight and fair prices to repair it. And from what I can tell from the spread sheet, it is also the best value I have that, a shotgun, Saiga or Cracker, and skifs pistol. Fairly low weight, and deadly at almost all ranges

[@mikeuk666]

My xbox had a 2nd update yesterday that also fixed a late game story bug so u could finally finish my first run. Superb game

[@ogfedex2194]

I got the update too but I didn't fix one of the main quests

[@lost.light.of.chernobyl]

To get past the wizards 🧙‍♂️ I fed them some grenades, saved ammo, and amor damage costs. Great video guide

[@TheLastSoviet22]

love the seva-d suit used it for most of the game. great overall and not bad repair price.

[@mikeuk666]

When i found the maximum stamina artifact later on it was a game changer

[@Vcjutko6842]

Please keep making more stalker 2 vids ❤

[@fmblz]

♡

[@thisguy35]

i already have all these but i just like his vids and sometimes i learn a new thing

[@adamaj74]

I would suggest picking up the Diamond Exoskeleton, the best armor. You can literally run straight up and get it off the Spark Bunker as soon as you leave the Lesser zone. It has much better stats and if you upgrade, it has max physical and radiation. It also increases carrying capacity by 17.6kg AND it has FOUR lead artifact slots! You also run over and pick up the Saiga D-12 shotgun laying on a platform, the best in the game, and it is mag fed so no painfully slow reloads. 👍👍👍

[@ESOdanny]

I'm not sure if they will patch the wooden box glitch to get it, like many of the other exploits they have already patched in Stalker 2. I agree its definitely better but I'd still path to pick up this new gear before heading over personally. Beyond the crazy high repair cost it literally invalidates most other armor sets in the early/mid game hahaha

[@conraddejongh3898]

The point of the video was "early game" items. If you wish to financially cripple your whole playthrough, then get the diamond exosuit early game. Even late game its a pain.

[@adamaj74]

@@conraddejongh3898​​⁠​​⁠define early game. Because in the video he's all over the map getting "non"-early game items. The Diamond Exoskeleton isn't a pain to run. I've been running it no problem since I left the Lesser Zone. Anyway, the gear recommended in this video is expensive to maintain compared to normal gear. If you can play smart enough to run the gear in this video, you can run the Diamond Exoskeleton. Just play smart, don't be a bullet sponge or take unnecessary damage. Most importantly, repair often and as early as possible. Repair costs go up exponentially as durability goes down. I am running the Diamond Exoskeleton, Saiga-12, and Kharod no problem. I'm actually making more credits than I'm spending. I'm still in the Garbage zone. I basically go on a mission/objective, play smart, loot everything, return, sell (sell broken weapons in Rostok), repair (at a green tech), repeat. I think a lot of people are treating this game like an fps such as Call of Duty. Big mistake. Slow down. Stop. Look around. Play smart.

[@halflife352011]

How did you get there? I start running into radiation when I get near red forest.

[@SevenDaysToNoon]

I got this early, but quickly put it in my stash as the cost of repairing it was RIDICULOUS!

[@cyborgrat]

Just found out that you in arena you can drop gear outside the door before having to talk to the guy who takes the arena gear back, Just got the 3rd round (got a sniper and the Seva I suit) thats a good boost from what i had (the first military armor and mask you find)

[@psiklops71]

Merry Christmas

[@mariuslorson751]

Thanks for the vid - just a few pointers though: 1) Repair costs scale with the number of upgrades you put on your equipment [You state as much later on in the video]. Thus the SPAS is not necessarily best shotgun in the game. You can get a SAIGA early on as well (look for the jump puzzle in the south-west corner of the vehicle grave-yard between Rostok and the Yantar factory complex. Just use Skiff's pistol to shoot the Saiga off the ledge instead of doing the puzzle. Yes she is busted but those 7k Coupons are to repair her are well spent) and that little puppy has a box mag, which makes the reloading process much faster, despite holding one less round than the SPAS. I am personally also quite fond of the RAM-2 shotgun (aka the DP-12) but the reload just is too slow on many occasions.... 2) The SEVA-D suit is definitively NOT the best early game suit. It has two sister suits that you can find in Rostok (SEVA-V at the ecologist helicopter crash site, climb up onto the loading crane and look inside the driver's cabin) & Yantar. (The SEVA-I suit, inside the production building at the main complex. Be careful though - there is a psy-emitter there + a nasty mutant spawn [Burer/Controller or a pack of 3 bloodsuckers. I've encountered all of these there...]. That is not to mention the SSP100-Survey suit [granted: you have to buy that one] 3) Shotguns don't have clips - they have magazines. Tubular magazines for many of them (Such as the SPAS) or box magazines (often detachable, as is the case with the Saiga). Clips literally are just the clipper strips used to feed the ammo into a box magazine (such as say the stripper clips to feed ammo into a SMLE Mk.3 or K98k [who's box magazines are not detachable for example]) 4) When the Burer has his hands up and the blue light around him, your shots don't do anything to him. He just collects whatever you fire at him and then sends the projectiles back at you. Just wait for him to put his hands back down and then shoot him again. Saves you a lot of ammo. Still - enjoyed your presentation as usual and am looking forward to the next vid. Also: had to resub 'cause YT de-subscribed me for some reason...

[@ulfrick11]

The ssp-100 discovery suit fully upgraded is pretty insane. I love it.

[@jeambeam3173]

Also you pronounce SPAS in the opposite way of say for example how you say AT-ST

[@xXAtom11Xx]

Thanks for the tips g

[@ESOdanny]

I agree with most of your points, but this video is intended to be my guide for beginners to get the next tier level of gear as soon as they leave the lesser zone. As in the best pathing to the best armor, shotgun, rifle and detector. 1) Fully agree that the SAIGA is better, its just further away (its my next planned video). The biggest reason its better than the SPAS and RAM-2 is that reload magazine! Since the SPAS can be picked up so early I consider it to be 'the best early shotgun'. But i appreciate that may mean different things to different people =D 2) The Seva-D is on the way to the other gear I wanted to cover in this video and has the better base stats. Its also cheaper to repair and has -50% wear and tear. But your right the SEVA-I suit is a great next pickup before you replace it with the exo. 3) Sorry my gun terminology is dire! But thankyou for the polite corrections, I’m slowly learning. 4) Great tip on the burer, 19:55 I did mention this also, but I was trying to cut the gameplay to try and not waste people time, its always hard to get the right balance. Really glad you still enjoy the videos, Ive really taken my time with the game and covering it. Its so rare that you come across such a great open world game like this!

[@mariuslorson751]

@@ESOdanny thanks 👍 I can understand all those points. I started playing the original STALKER trilogy when it first released and got back into STALKER when OperatorDrewski did his videos on STALKER Anomaly a few years back. So I'm a bit of an oldtimer in the franchise and consider Rostok and Yantar to be my favourite parts of the zone, so I went there first. If you want to optimise the lootrun with the detector - yeah I can see your argument. I'd suggest another one as well: After leaving the lesser Zone and Garbage, head for Rostok, pick up the Hilka detector (If you haven't found that one before) from Barkeep at the 100 Rads bar. Then head to Ecologist helicopter to grab the SEVA-V suit. From here into the vehicle graveyard to grab the Saiga. Heading north to the Trailer Dump locarion to grab the Sewn-in-pockets BP for the SEVA-I suite. Heading further north to the water pumping station to grab the Kharod rifle. Now into the Yantar production complex to grab the SEVA-I suit. Optional side objective: head West into the old science bunker West of Yantar to loot the corpses on the roof that always have some very nice guns on them (Fora-221, SPAS, M700 & some random ones). After that - head back east via The Chasm to Rostok to stash all the loot and sell stuff. I used that route during my second play through on Veteran difficulty and it worked quite well for me. 👍 Keep up the good work 👍

[@skavenslave4570]

For the Early shotgun, if the body is not there for the key, you need to interact with the locked door nearby first. If it's still not there, come back later and interact with the locked door again and go back and the body with the key should appear.

[@ESOdanny]

It seems like consoles have this spawn in issue quite often. Thanks for the bug fix tip!

[@hairydave82]

If you still have Skiff's pistol equipped, those Burer's won't be able to disarm you as it's classed as a mission item.

[@FinUgShiet]

7:20 I know there's a mutant called "Khaimera" (Chimera) in the but I didn't know we had a shymeras too :DD Also the construction yard with the Psi-effect isn't an anomaly, but just an area with a psi-effect.

[@pillagius]

Great guide! Still... SPAS-14 may be closer, but SAIGA-D12 is, as good or better in every stat, except slightly higher repair price, but since its durability is higher - difference is really negligeable, while usability is a lot better, due to magazine reload. You can can get a free Saiga at Yantar decommissioned vehicles field, doing a quick jumping puzzle with anomalies in the South-West part of it. Furthermore since you're already there - might as well grab Kharod. It's North-West from the vehicle field at the base of a dam. Code to the door is on the green trucks marked with eye symbol, one in each corner of the field. Takes virtually any type of attachment, extremely good stats and great kill/ammo used efficiency, fairly easy to upkeep too, as more enemies start to use AR416 and GP37 (even random bandits likely to have such a gun).

[@ESOdanny]

Agreed, the SAIGA-D12 would be the next pickup, it was just not on the path to all these other items.

[@retu1172]

The truck at 14:43 there is a stash in the barrel with the green case on it

[@csammy123]

I found the seva armor based on this guide, but I can't upgrade it because the only tech I came across so far Diode and he's apparently not capable of upgrading this. So the military armor I have now is actually better because I modified it to hold more carry weight, and carry weight seems to be the most important mechanic in this game so far. Try running around when close to inventory space limit 🤣

[@michaelklog]

they also levitate any dropped guns and shoot them at you so with 2 you could have the gun dropped and then the other levitate it before you can pick it up and then shoot at you with it.

[@nathangregory_]

First, thank you for all your helpful content. Second, after patch 1.1, why are some of the keybindings (PC) set as default? For example, I customize my keybindings to utilize other functions, but when it comes to using that function, you HAVE to use the default keybinding that the game has set for you, not yours.

[@antaress8128]

If I leave Lesser Zone through Chemical Plant, can I still go to Garbage and Cement Factory right away? Or I need to finish some quest first? Thanks!

[@nikkodogz]

I accepted the mission, however the DECIDER RIFLE is not there,, I have the 1.1 patch, I dont know if that matters, looked everywhere cant find it,, any suggestions? Also the map marks the gun on map, but its not there, strange./

[@robertadamski3981]

It's a bit possible, that burers have thrown it somewhere while attacking you

[@Banished365]

There is a SPSA 14 in the cordon area

13:13 No mask in safe when for me some reason

[@baconbit9850]

Find anything out about where the mask is yet?

[@tmpardi77]

Same for me. I think because of the shotgun trap that fires at you it causes the mask to fall through the floor. :(

[@carlchallinor4933]

Same and the door at the end of the corridor to get out is locked with me.

Then went back and it wasnt...go figure.

I noticed the orange dot for my notes in my PDA no longer goes away, I looked at every note and listened to every audio and it still doesn't go away.

[@MinecraftNinja217]

Which tech are you using to upgrade it

[@Katfish_Mark]

Can you investigate why prices are different from different people I know the bartender at the heap gives less for items than the weapons guy the uzi was a 315k difference

[@belldrop7365]

All bartenders and doctors pays less for stuff. Always sell at the trader that sells guns and ammo. Prices are fixed to the merchant type, except for that one special trader in rostok. You can easily check this by comparing the price they'll give for a medkit or something that's always in your bag.

[@officialdonkeh]

300th like. W vid tysm

[@tdhhellian7509]

I finally got the Seva D suit and weird water on my first playthrough, super late in my run, and then had to delete the entire file because the game started crashing in a certain part of my mission. I went back through almost an hour and a half of save files trying to replay the mission and even the treck all the way there, deleted a bunch of excess quick saves to try and smooth it out, and the file refused to even load. Clicking on it sent me to a black screen I had to dashboard out of every time :'(

Is it possible to give the Decider to the man, then take any potential reward from him, and after that kill him to take the Decider back?

I’m confused fit sine reason you have better stats on him then I do I don’t even have full bar of damage… is this a glitch on new patch ? Bc it’s funny that stock post has higher damage than all assault rifles

Did he do a stalker 2 gameplay?

[@RaifalM3n]

Interesting. I just did the same stuff and my game is different. Updated on Steam to latest patch. First of all the Poltegeist is moving like hell and its much harder to kill, second , when you go after the shotgun at that little house , there are little glass shards that injure you at those stairs. And i see more changes and can t understand ... why differences between my game and you , ESO. ?

[@chanjiayang9595]

How to get to zaton? I couldn't find a way to reach there, same as the duga?

[@andrewmoyer6076]

The SIVA-V suit is better and near the Rostok safehouse to the west on some scaffolding

It is but it's something id probably grab after this particular path which is my preferred gear setup

Dude everyone talks about not being able to kill the chimera ive killed it in 3 different locations where it found me.. it pissed me off cause it wouldnt leave me be... so all three of them at the cost of around 200 5.45mm, 3 grenade launcher rounds an a few dozon shotgun shells. I know to some it may seem like a waste of ammo but I HATE CHIMERAS!!! Even more then the annoying Controller dude an i guess Faust i hate him with a passion. Lol

Falcon Is my prefer.

[@Kartacs]

It's funny... The first time I couldn't find the key (best shutgun) I didn't kill the monster, then later I went back and killed the monster but the dead body was gone so I don't have the key and I don't have the shutgun.

[@shadowdancer445]

The guy with the key was not there after killing the phantom

[@ESOdanny]

It's a potential bug, but according to: @skavenslave4570 "For the Early shotgun, if the body is not there for the key, you need to interact with the locked door nearby first. If it's still not there, come back later and interact with the locked door again and go back and the body with the key should appear."

Stop requesting the duty suit the freedom one is in Rostock in the cab of the cargo crane by the downed helicopter it’s way better

The last 2 hog of an updates ruined the game; they made it where it crashes on shader load screen & crashes every 5 minutes

[@willythe4]

I was/am experiencing this too but one thing you can do that *should* help is clear your DX Shadercache. It did fix the problem for me until I added another couple of mods and some Engine.ini changes so now it’s on me to figure that out

[@CoffeeFresh_]

My game is stuck at compiling shaders.

[@The-Real-aPOC]

The latest patch was supposed to fix that bug.

[@ESOdanny]

Did you update to 1.1?

I recommend installing No Shader Warmup mod. No shader compiling anymore

[@CoffeeFresh_]

@@ESOdanny yeah this whole problem started after 1.1

[@conraddejongh3898]

​@@CoffeeFresh_pretty sure there was another update the day after because it didnt work. We should be on v1.1.1 right now. Check again and stop using mods.

[@michaeltorres7993]

I swear play the game how you want to in terms or weapons etc it does have to to be what they steamers tell you it can be your choice make it yours..I use thing like this when I get stuck not to kill my game experience...guns are there to use not just the same and best. Test yourself ...chumps ...

[@ToddsDiscGolf]

Don’t upgrade it so it’s cheaper to repair? Keep dreaming 😂

[@MrProfchaos71]

I’ve never experienced a game that was so hard to play and sucks the fun right out of it. Especially frustrating is the human enemies being impossible to see at any distance but they can see and shoot me with ease at that distance. Then there is the crosshairs not turning red when in target. Then there is the mag dumps into bad guys chests at point blank range and they have literally NO REACTION whatsoever and they say drop that weapon and proceed to one shot kill me. I’m not even kidding either. This guy walked around the edge of a silo and we were gave to face at almost melee distance and I mag dumped him with a Viper and the character had literally zero reaction to it whatsoever and calmly one shot me where I stood after taking 20 rounds of 9mm to the torso with no effect. Wtf is up with this game. I’m dying over and over. There is this area where you go rescue a guy in this compound that’s being held hostage. Where you get the pistol silencer and nearby is a stash in a helicopter. Good Lord. Every time I went towards it I was getting shot and I literally couldn’t see the guys shooting at me whatsoever. It’s like walking around wearing orange reflective clothing and trying to fight 5 guys in ghillie suits shooting at you from 150 yards away seeing you plain as day right through bushes and trees but you can’t see them at all
