Which is THE BEST FACTION in Zero Sievert? Zero Sievert Crimson Corporation vs Green Army

[@IvanSensei88]

Would be cool if they allowed you to pick a faction at the start of the game, like Green Army, Crimson Corp, Hunter (everyone wants you dead), Bandits, Watchers, Scientists, Free Stalkers etc - with each having different alliance possibilities, or persisting alliances (for ex Scientists being persistently allied with Green Army) - each with own bunkers, possible loadouts, and missions.

That would be pretty awesome. I'm hoping that sometime down the line someone develops a stalker-focused mod for this game one day and we see things like that

[@IvanSensei88]

@@yewnitedgaming I am indeed happy to see that some people out there did make their own rebalance mods, adding lots of replay value to the game. What I'm also really hoping to see is the ability to 'team up' with the npc's - just like how you can do so in stalker, either for a mission or as a reward/reputation perk. Wouldn't even mind if npc's could have a tiny yellow ! near their heads, indicating that they can give you temporary quests - only for that raid. Game has a ridiculous amount of potential and areas where it could excel.

dude, if u found the Krizz 50 Mag holder, u gotta side with CC and buy that .45 Krizz. That thing runs crazy on any moving objects with that extended mag imo

[@yewnitedgaming]

For real it turns everything into swiss cheese. I always grab the 50 rounder from the quest rewards for when I eventually get a Krizz from either the traders or from CC troops

[@fishyfinthing8854]

I join CC for getting the best DMR and Sniper. But Green Army have the best attachment for EC 308 which is the best Rifle in the game.

Bruh if this game is a mish mash between Tarkov and Stalker, why can't they add faction weapons for the Scientist's as well? Like in stalker (specifically the mods, especially gamma), there were weapons that are specifically used by the Scientist's like the British SA80s, the German Walthers, Russian AK 12s, Belgian Ameli, AWMs and the renowned Item 62 "Gauss Canon". The scientist even have a really good Armor the SEVA suit. The SEVA suit is top notch in the mid to late game pushes, and technically its an EXO suit as well. Like the Science Faction could literally be a good contender as a fighting faction, considering that in Stalker, although mismanaged, inept and less trained, some of them are literally capable of standing against the other factions (Although mainly thanks to you the Stalker). Like I would like to see the day, whatever faction you join regardless,. You and the faction you're in, will have a unique quest, like once you have max reps in both militaristic factions and the science faction, you both get to develop the Gauss Weapons found in Stalker

[@yewnitedgaming]

That's a pretty neat concept, hopefully the devs end up adding some endgame stuff to the scientists since they are a pretty whelming faction as of right now. Alternatively I believe version 1.0 opened up a lot to the modding community so that might become a mod one day

[@cccpredarmy]

isn't AK 12 in the game already? 🤔

[@IvanSensei88]

What you suggested here is quite moddable. Someone could literally mod in additional weapons and make them unique to scientists. Current leading mod out there is Escape from Zakov, which does change up the game a bit, but I'm not sure if they gave scientists any special treatment.

Do you recommend playing on keyboard or steamdeck?

[@MattGXR]

I tried playing on the deck, it's rough, much more enjoyable on keyboard

[@yewnitedgaming]

I don't have a steamdeck but if I assume it'd be like playing on a controller, I'd imagine it'd be a really rough time aiming at stuff. Especially if you get surprised from behind and have to completely turn around, you'd be dead before you even get halfway there. 100% would recommend using a keyboard and mouse
