The hunter's backpack still works in your inventory so it's good to have for more mutant parts while still having the better backpacks for carry weight.

Always keep a hunter backpack in your inventory. It's just 1kg and it provides it's bonus even if it's not equipped. (There's a setting to turn this off, but by default it's on)

Hunters bag is often slept on but the difference between "this body has nothing useful" and getting both hands, both feet and a mask from a snark is a steep loss. And ballistic plates are slept on too.

Puncture DOES NOT work in current gamma build (I think Anomaly as a whole but not sure). Mutants attack will do full damage regardless of any armor you wear. So if you're wondering why your Nosorog stopped a Monolith 50cal but you die from 2 dog bites, that's why.

Might be worth noting that Mutant hides got a massive buff recently, with the most dangerous mutants having buffs that far exceed artifacts

The video is a bit misleading on the different resistant-types. Br-Class for example is the most important stat that is unable to be raised by artifacts, and it basically tries to counter the AP-Value on your ammo. Meaning an AP round with AP(60) can only be stopped by an armor that has the BR-class rating 60 or above. Which drastically shifts which armor you want to take if bullets are often a thing you have to deal with. And since BR-class cannot be raised by artifacts, it makes the armor-plates you can craft quite strong, as the highest Plate gives you an additional +6 BR class on the entire body. Ballistic resistance just reduces the damage overall, but if you fight someone with big AP-Ammo while being on 100% Ballistic resistance, you'll still go down in 2-3 shots even if the weapon does not deal huge damage, because it actually penetrated your armor and caused massive damage. One thing I have yet to figure out and that I was hoping to figure out in this video is: What Ballistic resistance does specifically. Cause it's a bit up to speculation and currently I think, that it's just a straight up reduction in the damage you take and that it mostly works if the bullet did not penetrate your armor and got into your body. Aka "The bullet smacked you really hard, cause it did not go through but the kinetic energy gave you a harsh smack regardless.. or broke a rip or something.) And I have read on a forum that, 'Impact Resistance' actually counters the 'did not penetrate but the kinetic force smacked your real hard' damage. If that is the case, then that raises more questions about Ballistic Resistance, but it's possible that impact has nothing to do with that. Though it would make sense if Impact-resistance would actually reduce the amount of damage you take from getting shot, but not penetrated, which basically just results in a harsh-impact against your armor. Big wall of text, but it's hard to explain and it seems everything every knows is just speculation and different information's that make sense when reading them, but if tested turn out to be false.

Thanks for all your guides, clear and straight to the point, Good luck in the zone : )

Well, I didn't expect to learn a couple of things from this vid. Nice one mate!

Quick, short, and to the point. Thank you for the informative video.

your videos have helped me alot i just got into gamma a couple weeks ago

The exos got 3 type, proto version is lighter and increase alot of carry weight, the exo have better protection but also heavier a bit. The best one is the Nosorog, have highest protection but very heavy (>30kg depend on faction type). The best Nosorog goes to the UNISG faction which has 5 belt slot when upgraded and decent protection.

Great guide. Cheers!

The joy of seeing your proto when pulling up this video was immense

thanks very much! really helpfull!

Thanks! Good details!

ty, amazing video

Hey man been watching you a little bit and I just wanted to say your videos are amazing. You make really informative and helpful videos. If i may suggest a video idea: can you explain story progression? The different story lines or something? Idk. Have a good one

Awesome video

One more thing... yesterday Grok put the animation for exosuit from gunslinger, meaning the medkit would be faster to use by the monitor on the left hand. I don't know much yet but let's see how it adapt in Gamma Edit: I mean, he's not put it in yet but he's working on it

A caveat to light armour,the Merc one you get buy spending 500 points at character creation is very good. It's better in terms of balance res than any medium armour I found from the stalkers,duty or stashes.

thank u my bruda

Weather armors drop is based on what level of progression you are at. Not sure if it's changed for gamma or anything.

I got exoskeleton nosorog armor from stash in Pripyat so I'm wondering where else do they drop in stashes?

I spent half a second watching your video and my friend yelled in our call "PROTO!" followed by. "Is adorable"

Rupture res is bugged. That's why cats can still 3shot u while in exo

you have such a relaxing voice 🙏

hey! if i have a bandit medium armor can i put my loner badge on it? its not letting me? i know i can swap other factions armor out for my own factions armor to the guy in rookie camp but idk

Came here for one reason to figure out which is better high BR class or high ballistic resistance? Got a heavy (hybrid armor) with 47br class but only 26 balistic res and a medium (mercenary b-m5) with like 31-39 balistic res but lower BR class.

NullMoxy you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is mutant hide hard to get? cant seem to find one and ive played +30h at this point

Do Helmets and Armors stack with the ballistic resistance for entire body, since each of them boosts your ballistic res in your inventory stat? Or helmet simply protects your head and armor just body/legs/arms?

Thanks for the great video! Getting back into the game now and I've always wondered if the "Hunters Backpack" stacks it's effects. i.e. If I have 5 Hunters Backpacks vs 1? Ive asked on the Discord and as others have mentioned, it's somewhat difficult to get answers there. Thanks again. 🙂

AY BRO PLEASE. Make a Assault rifle Tier list!!!!!!!!

Keep them coming bro I just disabled the miracle machine and now heading up north. I watched your faction video but I still haven’t made a decision yet. Keep them coming!

Are there any exoskeletons with sprinting enabled? I always think it's stupid that they'd stop you running especially if the description says something about it being an advanced version that enhances mobility.

Mi ingles es malo pero con tu acento casi entiendo todo (los subtítulos ayudan) debes ser de UK. Por cierto gracias por tus videos de lo contrario no entiendo nada del juego XD

Can someone help me find a list containing all the names of the NPCs who offers the dialogue option to exchange armor? I think every faction in the game is supposed to have a NPC who will offer the player the option to exchange armor, but I couldn't find all of them. Sometimes, a certain NPC will show this dialogue option, but sometimes this dialogue option won't be available. This happened to me several times with Dushman, from the Mercenaries.

Really enjoyed the video. Just got into GAMMA and died to my first exo enemy. How many body shots of 5.56 do you think is gonna take to kill one?

when you go to radar the outfit drop chance becomes irelevant , you are guaranteed by the end of it to get at least one exosuit and exoscheleton(maybe a nosorg too) cause youll be fighting horders of highly geared monolith bros

the heavy armour kit is not that expensive and i always do it with advanced tools, being able to jump to heavy armour is always worth it

How do i increase the number of slots on an armor for attachments? How do i upgrade unlock the slots?

My first gamma playthrough, I've yet to see a NPC sell me an armor, wherever I went. Do I just need to build up rep with the faction to unlock these options, or can I only obtain armor by crafting?

Weird , my exosuit only able to upgrade to 3 belt slot

The plates also give extra BR class, which can make a difference between taking penetrating hits eating half your hp, or just the impacts. Speaking of impacts: you mentioend that impact resist only works for thrown items, which to my knowledge is wrong. A bullet not penetrating your suit by means of penetration vs BR, will then cause the bullet damage to additionally being reduced by impact resist, giving several layers of protection to damage (BR -> Bullet -> Impact).

Great video thanks - Can someone tell me the song that starts playing at 5.18 :)

Alr but how do i get it? only from dead stalkers?

For the algorithm!

Thanks now I'm untouchable to those dogs and cats.

This is not EVERYTHING I need to know. I came here looking how to repair my armor. How do I use armor repair kit charges?

Hunter backpack "not worth it"? Dude o got that so wrong.

Anyone know how to get the exo from the thumbnail? I thought at first it was just a duty exo/nosorog but when I got it in my last play through it didn’t have the armour plates all over or the extra heavy sounding footsteps. For additional reference the only npc I can find wearing it in game is captain gavrilenko (duty guy who guards the southern checkpoint in Rostok) tho upon killing him even with 100% spawn rates he doesn’t seem to drop it.

is it me or everyone saw he just took a rocket his face 1:32

Das ist Crä

i was taught by a protogen

why are there furries in my perfect game

if there is a thing that is getting very annoying in GAMMA right now, is that you can't attach more than one armor plate to the belt slot, as soon as i try to attach a second one it doesn't let it, previously it was possible to attach all 5 slots with the same armor plates, now it's not and that is not funny, improving ok, making the game worse is a no no...

Please don’t tell me ur a furry

I resolved movement penalties in options movement speed and run speed you can run even 200% if you whant 😂😂😂😂 but you get hurt if you are to fast like jump even smal hill can take quater of health

Yeah it's super outdated now. And i don't like how you completel ignore how the ballistic resistance works, as this is the most important part. And not a fan of suggesting really bad armours for rupture.
