I didn't try it by my own because I lost my PC during the war and watching you're videos before I can buy new one(I hope). Wavey thank you for you're Stalker content!

I play games since 8-bit Nintendo and never stopped playing games but for me, Anomaly is the best 1st person shooter I ever played. There is so much you can do in so many ways it's crazy.

Great tips! Wavey is the PowerPoint bullets to Anomaly, the 3 minute impression to the board. The med system is an important mechanic, having a Surv12 and CMS (Stims respectively depending on the mod) midway through the Brain Scorcher is essential. Sleeping bag...sleep reconstitutes the game and are great to use for save. Thanks Wavey!

The most important thing I can think of regarding the Brain Scorcher, use mines and IEDs while sprinting your way through, making sure to use proximity. That and grenades, whether you through them to use an underslung one--the shrapnel WILL weaken enemies by a lot, even if they're not totally in the blast radius. Plus, you'll hear one or two enemies shout when you throw nades. Helps with locating them. Monolith love 5.56 ammo, so I definitely recommend taking a Monolith gun like the FN2000 early on, or working up to converting any of the 5.45 rifles to 5.56 before heading to Radar. Also, search any an all purple stashes for tools. Not to mention, scouting areas like Garbage for artefacts, then heading to Wild Territory -> Yantar to sell them. Also, keep mutant parts for missions from Butcher or Ecologists. The good will and money is normally worth more than what you would get just selling them.

I've never really been one to watch other people play a game, but I stumble upon related stuff from time to time that I click just because it's something I spend time, killing time with, like STALKER (a guy that migrated to the USA from Ukraine introduced me to the original SoC) and when I found your stuff, Wavey, I hit the sub button and subsequently watched your Invictus playthrough anticipating every new upload to enjoy with my usual morning coffee. I gotta say your commentary, your play style, and your attitude overall are some of the best on youtube. Thanks for putting in the effort to put yourself out there on social media, it has been a wild ride watching your video's. :) My usual loadouts on STALKER are quite similar, but, still my own way of roaming through the zone. It's amazing how diverse the player base and the play styles are in this particular game, as well as all the mods, who could have imagined it would develop into this all these years later. All I can say is, wow. The X64 Monolith engine in one of the earlier "Demosfen" mods was incredible, seems everything in that madness has been polished and introduced to Anomaly at this point. Having the option to make pistols effective at close range (2 to the chest of unarmored Bandits to put them down is incredibly satisfying) has turned STALKER into my go-to FPS when I've got an hour to kill in the evenings after I get in from my auto shop. Keep on uploading, lurkers like me love to see your content even though we rarely comment. ;)

Wavy! Love the videos man, started my first GAMMA playthrough. I love hating myself so much. Jokes aside, amazing mod pack and im always learning more watching your videos.

Thank you so much Wavey for sharing the experience and the tips as well, hope i can learn much about invictus base from your gameplay.

I never had in mind playing anomaly in ironman and EVEN WORSE invictus and i still found this SO helpful

Actually I've found playing Anomaly without aiming for Invictus is pretty boring to me. The sad fact is that after a couple of years and about 40-50 tries, I'm still not getting the achievement. 😂 I play vanilla with only a couple of "bug fixers" mods and can't believe I'm not bored yet, on the contrary, I would say that it's one of the best experiences I've had in a video game in my life... and have been playing videogames for 37 years, since I was 7. 👌

ill give it a try! thanks for that, it was an amazing serie

Wavey's background music is so relaxing.

The fact that you get better condition items on bodies in dark signal made it too easy for me. I was able to fully repair a nosorog right after disabling the scorcher :D

Just completed Invictus myself. Was very hard. I played it on EFP, and I can confirm you can do it with warfare active aswell thanks to the Alife mod. It is a bit cheesy though, but it works. Took me 13 attempts in total. Thanks for the tips in this video, was a massive help. I also learned the hard way, that if you do go about it with companions, do NOT give them any explosives or weapons with high damage. If you decide to do it with warfare active, I can recommend sending cannon-fodder to secure most parts of the zone where you know you will be walking. I played as freedom because they are only against 3 factions and 1 of them is never seen. (military.) Again, this video helped a ton so big thanks and cheers!

Great playthrough ^_^

Got my first Invictus ach as a Merc, some weeks ago on Efp with max difficulty and that was the best experience with a game I ever had, then I did some speed runs as a loner, and manage to get Invictus in one day :), after dying a lot :(

slapped that like button as well as the "start" (ironman) button, with my sorrow finger and heart.

Great video, got invictus in both Anomaly and GAMMA. By the way 7:16 you died to a landmine 😆

Playing with ironman mode on are always a must in my gameplay it really give you the feel of mortal awareness wherever you walk in the zone....

Bro, in a duty run I spent like a month carefully playing to be prepared for Radar. I spent on top tier equipment, armor and a 4 man squad. Only to get ambushed by the entire freedom base in army warehouse, lose half my team, waste half of my ammo and took the idiotic decision to push onwards. I died shortly after by a monolith grenade.

i love how you did mention the explosives... but not the mines ahah

The explosives from mortal sin in generators are from landmines. Stick on the road when you get to the end of that mission, don't run towards the walls, lookout for landmine signs.

Thanks bro

My favorite part is how at any moment you can come across a bug that completely kills your ironman save. My current GAMMA save randomly started this bullshit where blowouts kill me no matter what; shelter doesn't do anything. I'm forced to use debug every time a blowout occurs. I would've probably been done with Stalker for a while again if that was an ironman save.

Now it is time to do an Invictus playthrough for each of the other storyline factions ;]

I'm playing dark signal ironman now, and I'm really surprised you didn't mention how the foliage makes it so much harder

I did indeed just enjoy listening to the sound of your voice. I'm not that much of a masochist

I'm curious what mod are you using to change the icons in the inventory ? Those look way better than vanilla.

playing stalker gamma invictus has made me pull out all my hair

Bro you really do have THE audio voice. Shit is crazy honestly

I remeber my invictus playthrough on my patato machine, on like 30fps, i managed to go all three stroylines just to get killed by major degtayerev

Hi Wavey you have beautiful content! Did you try game Anomaly redux? It's awesome! Hi from Ukraine)

I expected this to be eight minutes of you just saying "nahhh mate" ❤

at leqst your friendlies showed up in cnpp, mine didnt and i had to solo it all the way tot the monolith shard, with groks ballistic overhaul it took me about 600 ap round and 150 ap slugs

Wavey Armstrong on Oprah: "I used tough companions mod". 🙃

id never try this challenge or normal iron man, i dont wanna throw my laptop out the window because i travelled to another part of the map and 6 bandits spawn in my face or i stepped into an invisible anomaly while running form a chimera its fun seeing youtubers doing it tough

Hey Wavey, I was wondering, what kind of addon do you use for the hand models? They look really good.

it has been a year and i'm now doing the invictus playthrough. The Ecologist start helps a lot, as me being the psychopath I am used the neutrality towards Mercs to murder them while using the get the tracker side mission to loot a M4 off a dead ecologist. I have 2 questions: 1. I know it said no gameplay adjustments but does fast travel count? Heard people could complete Invictus with that enabled yet doesn't invictus say not to touch gameplay settings? 2. It says "never die twice". I took that to mean that in Ironman Wish Granter Mode, dying (n-2) times where n is your number of wish granter lives ends the invictus run. Does that mean I can die multiple times and still complete Invictus, as long as I don't die twice within 24 hours (as that's the minimum time required for a life granter refresh)

Hey you said that i need to turn my headphones loud but wouldn't gunshots also sound very loud you know, i mean when i keep my volume at the minimum they are still loud to me. Is there any addon which can increase the sound of anomalies without actually increasing the sound?

Hey there @Wavey's Gaming Adventure I've noticed in this video that there is an Unknown badge next to the bottom left hand corner of the screen, what mod is that if I may ask?

Finished Medium/scavenger murky spirit and i dont think i have strenght to fuck with sin again ...

Wavey could u do a clear sky LFO playthrough or Radiophobia like u did in that one Livestream

Hey Wavey, I have a question for you or anyone else here who knows. What addon do you use for these weapons and action animations like sprint or picking up items? Since I have vanilla Anomaly I'd like to know what mods/addons give you all these great looking weapons and attachments like the AK-12 etc. My game has simple looking models, simple attachments and basically vanilla weaponry. So these would really improve my experience. Thanks in advance!

Tip 1, if you see a chimera, hide+run.

❤️

Another tip: sell BaS guns to a technician/repair man. They'll actually pay weirdly more for them and you can actually get rich off of them. You can test this out for yourself.

Are you able to use the debug menu to do the murky spirit achievement.

If u start with debug, but never use a console and simply turn off the debug after an hour, it will ruin invi run? I totally forgot i had it on

Wavey Video 📸 'direct click on watch later' - evening is saved 🤭

im just wondering, what mod makes nimble sell all those BaS guns like that monolith AK-12 and the ISG guns?

what mods do you use for your guns? your scopes look amazing! great video btw

I'd like to see you try the escape from pripyat pack. Play it on a hard difficulty. Just to see how you'd play VS me. I prefer the EFP pack to play warfare mode with.

Ironman really elevates immersion. That's the feature that stealth induced games took away from us (if you get to play ultra hard difficulty in modern shooter you will be just crawling your way out). It makes you think twice and pay respect to the world around you. Not making you player-god. But if you want REAL challenge: try GAMMA ironman. Dude.. Finding A gun in there will be your most cherished memory of the week

I found it completely uninteresting without Ironman, and the Best Game Ever with it.

Hey wwavey, what modpack you playing on?

Next challenge: solo, no fast travel, increased mutants packs by 3. How does it sound?

Always playing only on highest difficulty and ironman mode, am i sick?

Is this base anomaly or dark signal?

"Jobs don't pay shit, everything is very expensive, and you're barely able to carry a rifle and water" Is he talking about a game or New York state?

Whats your modpack?

do you play with any mods ?

ironman rulez :)

Anomaly is a good game sort of. You just never know where you are supposed to be or go most of the time. There is no direction in the game.

How to Pain tutorial

what i've experienced from attempting invictus is, broke the game and turn it into quick save simulator

See I love a challenge but I have a hard time justifying Invictus because the amount of bullshit in this game. For example shooting a dog point blank with a shotgun should by the laws of physics at the very least slow it down. Not to mention the bad design of certain things. There are so many times I have spawned into an area only to have a controller spawn behind me in a place I can't get to because it is outside of the map then when I go to throw a grenade at it I get the 'move to next area?' message so I can't do anything. Not to mention the random stutters that can happen. Nothing like running from a pack of dogs, turning around to shoot one with your shotgun only to have the game freeze for a second then unfreeze and the dog is eating your leg off. Or better yet you get to the quest to find the documents in that lab under the outskirts and they don't spawn in but you can't make them spawn in with debug because that invalidates the achievement. For all these reasons I can't justify doing it. It just seems like too much effort for something that is at the end of the day arbitrary and I feel like my time could be spent better doing something else.
