The Forever Winter: Euruskan Stalker

[@TheHalflingLad]

0:22 - The inscription reads: "Штык-нож в зубы и вперёд" - "[Grip your] Bayonet in [your] teeth and go forward". Very natural, native wording there. "Grip [X] in your teeth and on you go" is an idiom I heard a ton growing up in Russia. Supposed to express encouragement, but also draw boundaries, as in: well go on, no one's gonna do it for you.

[@teslashark]

Yeah it's a lot better than the Chinese text

[@THExRISER]

@@teslashark What does the Chinese text say?

The inscription on the back: "Безумцы как колибри: они никогда не садятся. Они остаются на высоте двух метров над землёй". "Lunatics are like hummingbirds: they never land. They stay two meters above the ground." 13 names follows.

[@Scoobby96]

English google found nothing on this quote, so it's either a super obscure russian poem or devs created it themselves.

[@c_spawn]

And those names does not actually form any acronym. By the way, aren't the devs form Russia?

[@Scoobby96]

@@c_spawn Some may be native speakers of russian.

[@CoffasCr3wCh4nn3L]

@@Scoobby96 Probably devs made it themselves, because for me it feels like it was put through google translator - the meanings of "Lunatics" and "land" are lost; instead it translates like "Madmans" and "landing".

I saw before it had a human head which I assumed was used as part of the control system but the human like arms sticking out behind it's larger front grabbing arms make me think maybe they took a whole human torso and canned it into that machine.

Those writings give such character and groundedness (if that's even a word). It looks like something really used by people, no matter how spooky and bizzare it is.

Aw sweet. More man made horrors beyond my comprehension.

The inscription under the picture "ШТЫК НОЖ В ЗУБЫ И ВПЕРЕД" "Bayonet in the teeth and go"

[@CryptidBuddy]

The inscriptions give it so much life, it has traveled across the world and met people, whatever it’s celebrating, you’ll never see it

[@CoolSmoovie]

And here I was thinking the tutorial level was scary as hell

[@korpannor3010]

You died so we could get good shots and make 3D models and mockups, you are a hero, the Euruskan Midium Mech It would be wonderful since there aren't many shots of the front torso of the armored beast.

Прикольно, я не знал, что в игре есть фракция русских, или типо того. Надписи на сталкере все точно на русском

[@mortyjm2848]

Сама фракция euruskan это что-то типа ссср. Есть ещё eaurasia - китай, и europan - европейцы + сша

[@garryforsunka]

Есть такие. Там из русского у фракции надписи, оружие, танк т-90 и ракетокалаш у меха. и надписи на мешках для тел у зубастика.

Me and my friends are not intimidated slightest by the mechs, the hunter killers, large fights. All the shit they advertised in the trailers to terrify the player. But when a Euruskan Grabber takes the field... Always a unanimous "GTFO NOW" from the party.

Stalker and Grabber are the same enemy, just HK variant is named "Stalker".

[@tylerandrews4375]

@@Scoobby96 these things get deployed as hunter killers!? well I'm now even more terrified.

[@Scoobby96]

@@tylerandrews4375 Rarely, I don't know how game decides what to send after you but EODs and Scramblers are the most common. Beside stalkers, Europan Medium Mechs and Toothy (yes, you read that right) can appear as HKs.

[@Psychoangel-d23]

​@@Scoobby96I think the type of HK depends on the faction that took the most casualties and who you steal the most gear from. The type depends on the map. Usually Europan lose a lot of forces which is why their HKs are the most common. Eurasia seems to have a lot of leeway, considering that it takes a lot of cyborg losses for them to deploy scramblers. I haven't had a single euruskan HK deployed so far because they take the lowest amount of losses on average.

[@Scoobby96]

@@Psychoangel-d23 You know what I realized? Technically that means 3 Toothys at scorched enclave XD I don't know the possibility of it but it'd catastrophic.
