isnt that Chernobog in the hospital? i think Dazhbog is one of his guards, during the final showdown near the Wish granter. Maybe I'm wrong, but i would swear Chernobog is the leader of Sin.

​@@dudlEEk Yeah, I don't remember which one. For me, they are just Biba and Boba. Although since they stand in exactly the same place in the cave it's possible that both got agroed and killed

Fuck me, hopefully you aint right. Killed whole Sin faction in that mine before completing even Lost to the zone questline.

There is no mod to "choose." However, there are 2 modes that can change your relations with other factions. BOTH are incompatible with story mode, and highly unstable. Both are NOT recommended for story mode/invictus, ever. 1. Dynamic relations - Can be turned on for story mode, though it can make completing the story impossible. It will change relations with factions over time. It is supposed to change based on how your own fights and npc battles go, but is seemingly random. 2. Warfare mode is a sort of point capture mode. Turns off story mode by default. VERY unstable. You are at war with every other faction. The aim is to control and take over the entire zone. Fun sandbox style of gameplay, even if it is sort of pointless. Good times to be had if that is your thing. Just FYI, this run is F-d. Important and essential NPCs necessary for completing an Invictus run are already dead. I am not even sure where this is going, tbh. Though it is fun to watch.

The music that played in that part is darkwood - new dawn, not from stalker

Slow fire rate and reload takes too long. Full auto shotguns, esp end-game ones like the ISG Saiga and Raptr are best. The Vector is probably better than a shotgun for killing mutants. But even an UMP will kill mutants faster than any KS variant.

@@Fat_Paws I see. Thank you!

Besides looking tacticool does it really have a use?

In terms of gun play I recommend Escape from pripyet or EFP

@@ethantibke3445 EFP is a whole different modpack... Not compatible with Gamma.

Check the old uploads/videos. There is one that showcases a few mods that work well with and on top of Gamma. Just FYI, EFP doesn't work "on top" of Gamma. It is a completely different modpack that puts an emphasis on gunfights, almost too much of it. Progression is arguably easier since you can buy weapons/armor.

Sadly, not all of them are neutral to factions like Military, or Monolith, for instance. Never a good idea to approach the book store with a weapon drawn in any case. That is what triggered them, I think. Could be totally wrong here.

I thought that was a bug. I play as monolith and the mercs were hostile at first. I cleared the place out, but the 2-3 guys who spawn there afterwards were seemed to be neutral.

In my experience only the static guards that exist as part of the base are neutral, but there are still dynamic A-Life mercs that like to go there. Those mercs will still follow faction relationship rules, but the guards and trader NPCs are always neutral unless you attack one of them. Hard to tell them apart (since the only way to tell is by their behaviour when they see you, and "dance in front of a potential bad guy to see if they shoot you" is a generally unfavourable tactic. It also means grenades are right out if you don't want to piss them off when clearing it, which can make that place a bit of a pain. Considering it's Invictus though, I'd just frag the fuck out of it anyway and not take any chances if my faction was hostile to mercs.
