STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl: Stealth Agroprom! (not detected by military)

I already did it just before but with many quicksaves, I wanted to show the path in a single segment attempt, took me 19 tries! But now the route is really good. I will add chapters to the video to explain the route :)
00:00 You want to come out from this place and not inside the base
01:05 You have to carefully wait that they don't look at you
01:15 Take your distances from the tower guy just in case
01:38 Hang the walls just in case, and carefully look at the sentry's direction
02:54 Go up the building to the roof, left side from where we are is safer
04:04 Disable the alarm by damaging the megaphone (in case you get spotted after)
04:27 Watch soldiers patrols carefully by helping yourself with flashlight queues
05:10 Jump here and squeeze yourself with double crouch
05:20 This is where the documents should be the first time you come here
05:25 Carefully plan you escape with flashlight queues again
06:05 Land slowly otherwise you will make a pain sound
06:12 Sentires check and route for safe escape
10:58 Early morning platoon casually walking to their own death
12:12 Finally getting out of there

my usual plan: sneak up, shoot speaker, shoot sentries, move in my usual execution: stumble into anomaly, run, stumble into mutant while running from anomaly, run more, stumble into military while running from mutant, accidentally kill everyone in sight, go grab briefcase, feel stealthy.

[@GordonJewman]

Technically that's how it was supposed to be played and also very impressive

[@deus_nsf]

Yeah you can see how they planned it, but ultimately shooting you way out is often much more fun. Reminds me of how raw and brutal stealth was in Metro 2033 original.

[@unoriginalperson72]

[@hopmajibhohepeajibho7595]

That's actually a stealth mission. There are in-game hints that there is a lot less active military at night and suggestions for you to raid it at night. Level design suggests that too with a few pathways for you to silently get in, a ton of military and npc behavior The problem is that stealth sucks in this game

[@Chubzic.]

When playing it back in 2007, I remember I tried playing it this way but had the alarm going off everytime I cross the line of the gates no matter if I was spotted on that hill. And the first time I managed to play it stealthy was in fact in Lost Alpha. And it was at night. BOY THAT WAS IMMERSIVE

[@deus_nsf]

I bet it was! Lost Alpha is a gem, it's really unfortunate that it can't use the latest Open X-Ray engine improvements.

Here's a tip for anyone playing Stalker, if you gather and equip 5 of the artefacts that protect you against fire, and then stand in a flaming barrel, it will repair whatever armour you're wearing at the time. Useful for keeping a good armour suit in tip-top condition.

[@FightCain]

I played so much anomaly, I forgot how fast you ran in Shadow of Chernobyl.

[@antipsychotic451]

Man, it's really cool to see how they clearly designed the level around being able to take this path. There's no other reason that spool would be there for you to jump into the window. I think I tried to take this path before but the enemy AI just isn't very conducive towards a stealthy playthrough.

[@deus_nsf]

I tried during the day and it was a no go haha, patrols at every floor, even moving between floors taking the stairs!

[@yercules]

Hey fellow 100 Rads Bar enjoyer. Nice walkthrough! I remember doing the base itself fully stealth, but always getting caught at the end. Didn't know you can fully exit Agroprom without firing a shot. Disabling the alarm was also new to me. It would be cool to have Steam achievements for this eventually :)

I remember this being vaguely possible in original, but i always got spotted inside

[@user-io1do3fl7v]

It's original game

[@Dominique9325]

Managed to do it, took me multiple reloads though. I got spotted by the sentry on the floor with the briefcase once before I managed to get the briefcase, and a few more times after, before I managed to jump out of the window (while on the stairs). Then I was spotted several more times by the tower sentry in the corner of the compound with the hole in the wall before I could finally escape. Normally, every time I tried to do the agroprom bit stealthily, I'd do it after clearing the underground and come from the hatch, but that always resulted in me instantly being spotted by one of the tower sentries no matter what, even when I got lucky, I couldn't manage to get into the building before being spotted, that was also at night.

[@deus_nsf]

yeah not sure if difficulty affects hiw well enemies can see, but in master it seems almost impossible not to get spotted if you come out of th undergounds inside the base

[@sagaris93]

pretty impressive considering how broken stealth is in this game... silent approach to this quest i think was the way to complete it originally (there were some notes on sniper tower map in pda or something iirc) but gsc never polished stealth to normal working order

[@deus_nsf]

Indeed, the 3 things you've got to remember are, enemies can see through bushes (maybe not as well but they can), your 3rd person model can clip through walls if you're hugging them too much, and if you wnt to save/reload, enemy states are neutral on load so their positions and status do not match, until a dozens of seconds have ellapsed IF they didn't see you.

[@Dennis-ud2nh]

Seems like the developers intended you to do this judging by the level design here. But my question is why they had to make it so goddamn hard. If you get spotted once you become perma detected even if you load a save. If that was a bug then they should have easily been able to fix it right.

[@deus_nsf]

Yeah many things are just not right in this game unfortunately, the project management was super poorly done and the publisher put too much pressure on an unrealistic release date. That's why I'm happy about Stalker 2 being delayed so much, it will have many bugs that's for sure but it will be closer to their vision at least.
