ESCAPING THE STREETS OF PRIPYAT - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly Mod Ep. 3

[@BloodDraco122]

Somethings to note - in-case you always want a sidearm on hand incase you drop your gun or one jams, you can put a pistol in your knife slot which can help alot when your not dealing with mutants often (or are just know it's tediuous to swap out the knife). - You can break down armor and weapons for spare parts by using either a Swiss-Army Knife or a Multi-Tool and then pay a Technician to use their vice (or kill one if their an opposing faction for free). You can then sell the spare parts to Technician's for a premium or use the spare gun parts to swap out almost broken weapon parts with repaired gun parts to a near repairable state which will allow you to repair your favourite gun that is almost broken to a repairable state that technician's can fix or can be fixed with a repair kit. - Considering upgrading your suits and using the "belt" attachments for artifacts or certain belt-attachments. This let you augment your carry ability, sprint and with the right artifact container containing the right artifact, passive health regeneration - Stimpacks are your friend, better than first-aid kits in a combat situation as they heal a big chunk of health quickly but their side-effects may make you more tired or hungry.

I love this game so much. Jump in just experience the zone however you want. The community mods are absolutely amazing. I prefer to add a texture and sounds pack, boomsticks and sharpsticks (weaponry and optics), a graphical overhaul, and then I tweak a ton of settings myself to make weapon damage more like Tarkov and DayZ. It really breaks immersion when I have to shoot an unarmored human head more than once. Also optional is a medical overhaul which I usually do myself and magazine repacking. But the vanilla standalone mod is amazing out of the box and would recommend just sticking to that for your first play through. After you mod its a different beast.

I recommend getting a shotgun because the ammo is cheap and relatively strong whilst AK’s might be enticing they’re ammo isnt the most efficient rouble wise i also recommend ignoring the main missions and getting to rostok or army warehouses to do missions from Petrenko (duty in rostok that gives missions relatively close by) or the freedom counter-part i dont know never accept “give me this item” or “deliver this package” quests they take too long to do they’re too dangerous and give little money like 8k roubles compared to assassination missions that give around 15k roubles and are much easier and give more loot if you want variation you can go to garbage and do some missions for butcher they dont give much but are pretty decent theres also an alternative thats more dangerous but gives a lot of money i really recommend that you learn the game before you do this you can go to jupiter head to the scientist base and buy some artefact containers get a veles detector or above (dont even bother with anything below veles its like trying to read moonrunes) you also need some above average protection against radiation and psy with 1000 stalker rep you can get a ranger gas mask for about 30k roubles from sidorovich you can go to the stalker anomaly wiki and look at what anomalies are on what maps after that you can go around getting artefacts check the wiki for which artefacts are good or bad and you can keep the good ones after around 500 rep with scientists you can get a veles detector and a special container that allows you to equip artefacts and use their special abilities wrenched is a definite for any stalker i once made around 125k roubles from one run from about 7 artefacts it works well zaton, jupiter and red forest have the best artefact locations if your looking for good guns you have to make friends with mercenaries its a pain but in the outskirts or pripyat theres a friend merc base that you can do some missions for once you reach 1000 rep (1100 to be safe) you can go to the dead city and trade with dushmann he has the best NATO and russian gear in the game and the price is pretty good i cant give you pointers on armor though because i havent messed around with it that much i just use a ranger gas mask and a stalker nomad outfit from sidorovich (i might be mistaken on nomad armor because i forgot what it was called and there are 2 similar armors) i hope you have fun in stalker thanks for reading

Oh yeah i also recommend keeping a MRE and a bottle of water on hand at all times and at least 1-2 stimpacks once you’ve got some money because those will come in clutch if you lose 90% of your health at once also once you have at least one 100% condition item you should keep some repair items in your inventory and repair it when you need to

Okay... this intro gave me FrankieOnPCin1080p vibes and the nostalgia hit me like a freight train. Keep up the great work and your astonishing editing skills.

17:20 Scientist: *Trying to tell Drewski what he Needs.* Drewski: "Shut up, I'm trying to read what you're saying." Scientist: *Confused AF*

[@julians.2597]

holy, what's up with this cinematography!? Totally didn't expect that insane intro

[@raziel3099]

Did you know there was an "Escape from Pripyat" Modpack? It kinda makes it tarkov-ish.

[@OddlyTaco]

The audio starts to desync at around halfway through the video, just letting you know

[@sethbettwieser]

What is this man? "yes, these are the exact places I need to go and things to do. Ah, this is a good weapon." "I didn't realize I could break the boxes to loot."

[@TheKneipenhocker1337]

Stalker is until now one of the most admospheric games out there. I still love and play it. Great series so far. Keep up the great content!

[@youtubepage832]

So good this series! Getting strong Frankieonpc vibes here!

[@ADF5VO]

Was thinking the exact same thing here!

[@totolescargo]

What an into, Drew ! Really suits the atmosphere of the game. Could you do it again for the next episode ? Keep it up !

[@olekan1351]

That intro quality is nuts! It’s so cool watching a youtuber’s skills improve over the years. Keep it up dude, this stuff is dope!

[@WormholeJim]

Huh. The area in Jupiter that the video cuts to at 12:50, where there's a bunch of zombies and some monoliths, there's a pathway to a unique artifact below ground, the "Heart of Oasis." You say in the video you want to explorer the place as it seems to be much bigger than you first thought but then the video cuts abruptly to the ecologist base with no footage of what the exploration came to - or if you even explored the area at that time. It doesn't seem like much of anything when you go down there, but even if you decided it wasn't worth the time, you'd *still* have noticed some extremely odd things going on down there. A puzzle to be solved which doesn't advertise itself. I would never have solved it myself, I'll have to admit. But I was intrigued enough by the strangeness I experienced down there to go look up videos covering the place to see if I missed anything. And boy, did I ever! So, there's a challenge for you to go get weirded out and get rewarded a pretty decent artifact.

Watching you stumble into Radar without knowing what's in there has to be the most terrifying yet funny things I've ever seen, at least you picked the sneaky entrance.
