smg may be effective but the sheer domapmine rush you get from making a chimera enter the stratosphere by a ks-23 shot is true exteacy

The mercenary voicelines are just the ambient rangers from mw2. Actually pretty accurate to bullshit you'd hear on base. Holds up with the Mercenaries being westerners in a foreign land.

Also a good tip for anyone that is atleast neutral with clear sky, the clear sky questline in the great swamps will reward a guaranteed gunsmith toolkit in the final mission at the machine yard.

thing i recommend for getting advanced tools, is getting the basic tools from hip, and the bar trader in yantar. that way once you get the artificer eagerness perk from crafting 50 items, you only need too find 2 more basic tool kits from stashes to craft advanced.

I got to admit, my L85's M203 has saved me far, far too many times. Absolutely love it! Plus it's an easy "fix" for a chimera, fastest way to quieten them down as an Anti-Jumpscare!

I really appreciate how they made suppressors more realistic than other games. Instead of making them silent, they increase velocity and damage.

Grenade launchers are such a convenient tool for so much stuff, at first I just threw it on my rifle because I was already familiar with the weapon system, but then I found out Burers cant block rifle grenades or toss them back like frags so now I never leave home without it, only complaint is you cant use the M320 as a standalone.

I've been wondering about the toolkit drop chances in each area for a while now. Thanks for the spreadsheet info.

In GAMMA 0.9 i took one Phantom Star, an Artifact Smelter and a bunch of junk atrifacts into the Red Forest. I'd run invisible for several minutes, clearing all the stashes and anomaly fields, grabbing loot from dead Monoliths (mutants are killing them too). Whenever a Phantom Star was almost spended, i'd recharged it with a smelter, while it was equipped on the belt, doing it's job! And THAT was really OP, not the 6 minutes duration of the effect, nerf'd in 0.9.1. Hey, NullMoxy, is that trick with Smelter still working? Because i asking you to do a Miracle Machine raid in Radar for your stream fans, while being "cloaked", recharging the Phantom Star, and planting mines and IEDs under the Monoliths legs, while sneaking pass them... i hope the amounts of baffled swearing and laughs will be staggering :) Edit: and at the end, barricade yourself with a table, placed in the door, leading into the chamber with the off switch lever, and listen to all these explosions :)

I play with mags in Gamma. I like to have a lite weight shotgun on me at all times because of the reloading.

One thing I like to point out is that right now we only need green stashes to get tools but buying them from SIdorovich or anyone else does NOT give you green ones... so yeah - Even on Tourist progression - the grind for Expert is real

I tend to use unlimited stashes too, though eventually I will divide them to improve performance (otherwise opening them takes ages because it's like loading all the items). I generally go with 1 box filled with "random, misc, etc stuff" (such as heals, food, ...), 1 box of everything gun related (guns, parts, etc) and 1 box with everything relating to armors and their parts. But early game I just pick a base and whatever random stash box is available there to put everything in :D

Just spent all last night looking for basic tools kept finding drug making kits and gunsmithing kits, managed to find one in the swamps but funny this video came out right when I was looking. Deserves a like!

Brain Scorcher (and Radar) with Phantom Star is my way to go these days thanks to Balls of Pure Diamods for this method. Shotgun can be effective later if you pick KS-23, which can destroy anything with the right ammo - buying cheap buckshots (for TOZ from Tarkov) and turn them into best one. Got my Chimera Hunter way too late. I remember getting my Expert tools by saving and reloading task rewards from Freedomers in Army Warehouse, so they could give me green stash in Red Forest. Took me like an hour or two, maybe more...

Excellent video and tips!

Only struggled on my first playthrough. I usually get advanced tools in the first 24 hours. Once got them 12 hours in. Current playthrough I had basic tools and advanced tools in 1 day and thanks to trading TOZ to Hip

Depending on the suppressor model, it can increase the bullet speed if it behaves like a longer barrel, but it wouldn't be as good at sound reducing. Quieter options would reduce the bullet speed. (All of that affects real life, not the game)

Great vid thanks for explaining how supressors work, i usualy just attached then coz i like how they sound and look, and its easier for me to hear everyone elses guns

Be careful with the ledge grabbing, it can kill you for apparently no reason sometimes

climbing a table you can get into that tall building in outskirts with chem anomaly, in anomaly/gamma the staircase is avaible unlike in vanilla CoP, but you cant use it to get up only down, but now with new jump mechanic and maybe a table you can get up there without going through the anomal, you can make quite a hideout in there with easz acces where mutants and other stalkers wont get

lmao thats funny you made this vid today I have been looking for an advanced for literally a week and a half i was thinking about quitting for a while ngl this made me confident to give it one more chance

IMPRESSVE VIDEO!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!

hands off the best gamma youtuber ever. cudos to you my friend!

I think the reason (and main one for me frankly) behind not using underbarrel launchers is how limited the amount of guns that can actually USE them is. Theres only a handful, and its ONLY the base guns, so when you get to choose between a regular ak, or an ak with more stats and a laser etc, you are going to choose the one thats better, losing the grenade launcher in the process. If there was way more options for launchers on the more special guns i absolutely would use them more

I ran through the Scorcher (from red forest entrance) and the Lab using 2 Phantom stars and even had some juice left in the last one to run out the scorcher after killing the monochromes in the lab

Is outside of the scope of this video as it is a mod, but additional ammo types like in Arti's ammo mod really help the shotguns with Magnum buck and flechette rounds to increase it's effectiveness into the later game. Additional ammo types in 'vanilla' would be nice to see IMO. Also I quite like the Merc voicelines despite being a bit cringe, I was in Yantar just sorting through items when I heard that take care of her line and it was so random I burst out laughing. Repetitive though, unfortunately

about the phantom star in radar can't you take the artefact melter with you and a couple "junk" perk artefacts to refresh the phantom star to 100% in a quiet corner? I guess I'll try that out, to see if thats possible

Not me sticking to the starting areas and wondering why it took forever to get my advanced tools.

I have finally tasted the Vector, and I am hooked. Still looking for a Raptr to try though. Even though I have the Vector I also carry an MP7 in my vision slot converted to the shittier ammo type because it's so plentiful and I can always be blasting. It may take upwards of 30 AP bullets out of the 40 in the mag to kill an armored guy, but they get stunlocked.

Would love to see these gun packs paired with Gunslingers guns.

I always get yellow stashes not Green ones did they change the Colors of somthing

the grenade launchers would be used more often if new guns could use them also maybe something like that one single-shot grenade launcher from the gunslinger mod would be nice

How do you make 5-7 with rail and laser?

a tip for the performance atleast when opening and closing your stashes is to sort or disperse your stuff into a few more stashes

where can i find the toolset chances spreadsheet by region you used? it looks super helpful

People should take location into account when turning in their 8th stash giving task South if you want gunsmithing and medical, above barrier if you want experts.

shotguns outclass all weapon types in fun factor. and toz-34 gives you the big dick hidden perk

hey lad, question, does the toz 194 have to be fully repaired to give to hip?

shottys outclassed????? lmfaooooooo youre a funny man

Have you experimented eating bloodsucker or psysucker meat with the Moss artefact? According to the artefact description, these meats should give you invisibility, but it doesn't say anything about duration.

Hey man awesome video. Question I do have 0.91 gamma but how do I ledge grab can't get it to work. Finding toolset as unisg is merely impossible, I've done about 100 missions/side hustles and only got a expert toolkit by absolute luck on a novice random renegade. it sucked

Yes.

D...how can u get weapons in the game?...i have only a shotgun

I dunno, but I don't like recent toolset changes - previously looking for expert tools was a funny gamble. This playthrough I found 2 expert toolsets in the first 2 green stashes. Also, question: How the game changes after disabling brain scorcher? I heard there's some spawn logic changes after it is disabled.

Yesterday I was in the red forest and in Limansk, I only found weapon kit and drugs in 4 green stahes. Afterwards I was annoyed, because the next green stashwere in outskirts. Outskirts is miles away 😩 Edit:still got no Expert tools

How do you change ammo types without opening inventory?? I’ve seen some radial menu come up but can’t figure out what key it is

4:26 that HEY is really the most annoying part, well done buddy

What gun is the one you're using with Undebarrel GL? It has dedicated red dot scope in it like the ak mono 2.0

How much space will I need in total to download Anomaly and GAMMA? I assume anything less than 100 gigs won’t do?

Bro how do you get 60 fps with this many active Npcs at 4:58??

0:44 Within a second you say? Why, that's as long as it takes for me to take down a chimera with my spas-12? I would say it's as good as the Dhamphyr to take out mutants... E: And for everything my SPAS-12 and Dhamphyr can't take out...! a goddamn underbarrel grenade launcher! But might I ask, what's the scope/mod you're using for your video for example at 4:44 ? Looks like an aimpoint scope but what is it doing there?

Okay so when it comes to the GL I used it a bunch in the new brain scorcher run basicly i had 20+ 40mm rounds so I just went around going THOMP, THOMP, THOMP….. then done

Yes

NullMoxy: "Shotguns are a mid tier weapon good for early mutants". My mind: "Here is KS-23, the best weapon in the game". On a serious note: if you are good shot KS-23 is great and AP slug can act as a sniper up to about 100-150 meters as it basically has no drop. KS23 is the whole reason I survived the X-16 labs, I brought 80 AP slugs and I brought too little :D.

Wait from what mod is that ak with a grenade launcher red dot? It's not in base gamma is it?

I had two yellow stashes in Outskirts in the current version of GAMMA and they both gave me drug kits :(

damn i needed a guide for finding tools, since the last update they made it very hard to get them,l by getting a green stash every 8 stashes, fucks sake i almost went insane after 3 days of getting 4 green stashes and al of them had medicine crafting kits

definitely disabling the weapon inspection in my next playthrough, it was so annoying

I usually Take a KS23m for late game

4:26 Great editing, lost my shit for a second.

Didn't they change it so you can only collect stash locations in the zone you're in, or adjacent zones? Makes you have to loiter in really tough parts of town to collect some.

noiceeee

2:36 nah my wigga playing minecraft ?!

My USA Kalashnikov Saiga-12 ISG 5 tap Chimera's , one and half magazine a black Chimera. The stash size is a problem for sure...reach 200kg on your personal Workbench and it lag when using it or exiting it...is annoying. Two Phantom Star are enough, you can use one to reach the room with all the meds inside , switch and rush to the switch to shut down the BS.l; the use the first to reach the room with the squared elevator , hide inside a pipe , switch to the second and reach the door with the keypad, close the door.and all you really have to do is killing the three Monolita at the beginning of the area. Well done you did BS without killing anyone, like a true Ecologist😊

I am doing my first game and on the 2nd and 4th Day i have got advanced tools.i didn't even get basic tools yet . Is it that lucky?

i am struggling to find basic tools indeed. last run i found advanced tools before basic

IM strugle to exist in DX8 Stalker but that the way to live!

boars and flashes are a little bit tanky in current patch. It will be fixed in nearest hot-fix. (ETA few days, hopefully)

How do you inspect your weapons like that?

0:19 *Loads RAPTR with murderous intent*

Nah I’m struggling to find the will to live!!! 😎

2:40 this fortnite clip was recorded in stalker gamma

Get rich quick tip... sell any spare attachments to Xenotech and sell your mutant parts to Butcher!

Vector is too rare...

Basic toolkits are easy, just trade 20 hits of Nemiroff to Spirit

And then there Grok telling people to look for Expert in Red Forest... 13% xD

the table stair trick feel like cheating ^^ i wonder if you can use that to block some pathway. would be interesting to test if the brain scorcher quest can be made easier with path control and some grenades. Also placing some stair were bloodsuckers spawn can help getting out of trouble. i don't think i'll use that tho. cheating.

2:34 Wait, my gamma doesnt have those table....

3:02 Brootal stutter Grok fix ya game man..

Interesting how moxy released this video AFTER he got his expert tools so we couldnt make fun of him.

Raptr shotgun > any smg for killing mutans

That change in brain scorcher, IMO, was the most dumb and annoying thing done in this mod. Geeeezzz!!! It killed the mood of the scenario, on top of making it insanely harder for an early to mid game player (which is usualy the stage of the game where you get there). Another annoying change? Experimental Power Suply Unity not being able to auto recharge anymore. Is this a game breaking change? No! But I found it so annoying that I'm not using exoskeleton armors anymore. Batteries are hard to find and really expensive to buy and the power consumption rate, even with the EPSU, is quite high (at least if we could craft it using a buch of the small batteries and other stuff....). There would be so many different changes they could have done in this aspect, and they chose the one that added more annoyance than gameplay experience. One example, they could have just increased the power consumption rate of the sprinting mode to the point that it would surpass (by not a large margin, of course) the recharging rate of the battery. Or (if possible) used a weight scaling method of consuming power, the more weight you carry, the more power the suit would consume. Once surpassed a certain threshold, the power consumption would surpass the recharging rate. Ps.: To be honest, I finding the fact that I'm not wearing power armor anymore quite appealing, cuz now engaging the enemies in the later areas of the game have become quite exciting. My charactere isn't made of paper, but it is not a walking tank either. I'm loving to raid, with this setup, that area far north of Outskirts, where a great number of monolith guys always spawn. It is freaking intense!!!!

this game is turning into fortnite. soon well have monolith troops cranking 90s

5:15 "I typically don't upgrade weapons" ....WHAT?!? That's blasphemy!! Why the hell would you not want to upgrade your weapons? Though that explains your weapon tier lists...

buh

e

Nah, I'm not. Playing anomaly redux 1.1+ other qol mods. Gamma not needed.

Im glad i dont have to worry about things like this because i dont play shit mods

Thanks

NullMoxy. A tip that really really helped me recently, its so good it almost seems like an exploit. *_You can disassemble field cooking kits for plastic film._* I was desperately trying to find out how to get more plastic film from for crafting meds as it was a serious bottle neck. One full stack of those blue cooking kits will let you disassemble it 8 times for I believe one film each. *_you can craft them with 2 field cutlery and 2 metal scrap._* Now I have a pretty stockpile of film for my meds and the only bottleneck now really is money and availability. While I'm at it I'll throw a few more in. Another good weapon that I think might be getting overlooked is the Thompson with the drum mag. It fires .45 really fast from a 50 round mag. It has slightly less base damage than the other more modern weapons but if your lucky and find it early it can certainly help with mutants. Butcher sells ammo cheaper than most. You can get a stack of buckshot for less than 900 roubles. For awhile I was loading up on that because it's so cheap and made taking out low level mutants much more economical. I think most players realize this on their own but, afaik you can get most any weapon up to full condition if it came with a repairable barrel. Even the advanced weapons. The kits that can maintain weapon parts in the gun can all be crafted with just basic tools, so just use that to repair the barrel the rest of the way.

i never knew the stat differences with suppressors and im suprised it isnt the usual less danage less accuracy stuff since suppressors irl increase barrel length and blow gas back into the weapon which does built up residue more than an unsuppressed weapon
