Do veterans ever find a way to not get destroyed by Psydogs; nothing kills this rookie more.

How did you «just leave the lesser zone» but youve got all that gear?

u/SecretAgentDrew 9h ago

Couldn’t tell at first but he might be trolling.

barkeep sells everything mod probably

but yeah smells like bullshit

u/-Yukiforever- 9h ago

it's just a little joke on some of the posts i've seen. A few of those items you can only get after completing loads of quests, like the freedoms bounty gun, and I thought it would be a bit tongue in cheek to post.

or maybe I just found a really good stash?

honest question how is it I went for duty so got my hands on strangers rifle instead

1

u/-Yukiforever- 3h ago

To be honest I havent even shot it once, I just know if i throw it into my stash i'll never use it.

It is however the most beautiful gun, I think it looks gorgeous.

Hmm I think you're a bit under-geared, better grind a bit more.

u/-Yukiforever- 8h ago

I'm trying to save money for that wonderful car, gear will have to wait.

But I appreciate you playing along; I think I spent to much time with Ganja and thought posting this was funnier than it seems.

I appreciate your apparent commitment to little rifles

2

u/-Yukiforever- 7h ago

<3 years of habit made it difficult for me to switch to nato rounds, even though it makes more sense now that Ukraine uses them.

Also little rifles means more vodki and kabanossi to bring home.

u/Impossible_Horse_382 9h ago

What gun is that in the second primary slot ?

2

u/-Yukiforever- 9h ago

its an As Lavina with a 4x scope. it's essentially an As Vintar I just prefer lighter guns.

u/Emotional-Ant8136 5h ago

I've got a tip right here for you to suck off

u/-Yukiforever- 2h ago

Can I bring my bloodsucker friend to help?

u/ruiner1010 Bandit 5h ago

Why are we stacking Liquid Rock and Silicate? Lol

And you have a second Water Drop you could equip for soft capped Stam, plus the weight?

The SEVA over Exo I get for maybe some reasons. Leitchfuchs mogs all the other AR's in the game, though, imo. Too ergo, too laser accurate, too short and sexy.

2

u/-Yukiforever- 3h ago

I really have no idea how durability artifacts works so I just put the two best ones I have on.

The Exo servo sounds make me think something is around me and throws me off.

Leitchfuchs is cool but too expensive for me to run and i'm still not use to using nato rounds; I only carry freedom bounty because if I throw it into the stash it'll never be seen again.

u/ruiner1010 Bandit 2h ago

Ah, I gotcha! Well, one Liquid Rock should suffice for your condition decay buff. If you're playing Master mode maybe consider more but truthfully the DR is not worth the arty slot. The return on bypassing the soft cap is really not worth it still.

Double Water Drop is op and probably the more optimum setup than a single Thunderberry, imo.

Leicht is worth the skrilla. Trust. It's worth doing some artefact and loot runs even to feed it. It's a headshot machine. Shit carries SO hard. Only downsides are no underbarrel, suppressor, or drum, but honestly it doesn't really need them. Too versatile still. Can still take the 40 rounder, also. And scope versatility which I think matters the most. Or at least for me with my dog shit eyesight ahaha

That's fair critique of the Exo, too, I feel. As long as you push the Phys Resist, you can pretty much rock any of the armors and be pretty safe. Relatively speaking. I got this fingerless glove thing so- up until the OP Liberty Exo, it's Sunrise or Merc suits for ya boy. 🤣🤷‍♂️

u/ruiner1010 Bandit 2h ago

A further word on hoarding - there's a memory leak in the game for inventories. Stash and vendors. While it's tempting to hoard a ton of shit to flex (I've done a few playthroughs getting all the arties, PDAs, uniques, all that shit ofc. NO LIFE FTW), you stand a good chance of crashing/corrupting your game.

Perhaps less on PC, if you have a decent rig. Less likely to occur in less habitated settlements, but still. You can tell when shit starts to hitch up... Yeah...

Also, tbh it makes it a pain in the ass to dial through a ton of stuff, too. Monolith help you if you accidentally take out everything. 💀 So now I ship the minimalist style. 🤙

u/-Yukiforever- 2h ago

The fingerless glove thing made me laugh, it's funny how we our own rules sometimes.

Speaking of that, if spitfire was good enough for Strelok it's good enough for me!

The lack of silencer is the major reason I didn't use it, I completely forgot about that until you reminded me.

But thanks for the info about artifacts

u/Cyber_Von_Cyberus Boar 2h ago

You've got to get the gauss rifle before you proceed any further. It's only 800 roubles out of the goodness of my heart, you can find it in the Dark Valley at the sourthern farm.

I'm surprised that you lasted this long without it.

1

u/-Yukiforever- 2h ago

That's a deal and a steal; I just wish i had 800 roubles or I would take it

2

u/Chriss2946758 9h ago

Yea as if, he got the Artifacts which you only get in CNPP Sidequest which only Opens up after SIRCAA

u/Nectro77 Flesh 2h ago

this is so weird to see after not playing the game for almost 2 years..

Also not enough medkits and bandages (i usualy carry 50 of each)

1

u/-Yukiforever- 2h ago

You should jump back in! There's bionics, night vision and a dlc that really fills out the CNPP. If you've seen the tour video going down the golden hallway into the reactor on wikipedia, you essentially do the same tour. it's really cool if you're into the CNPP

1

u/Nectro77 Flesh 2h ago

Bionics??

1

u/-Yukiforever- 1h ago

Sorry I meant binocs, as in binoculars.

Become a Merchant in the clear sky base, at least the swamps Will have something worth a Second look

1

u/-Yukiforever- 1h ago

I remember how sad I was when I rushed to the swamps for the first time just to see the clear sky base and couldn't even get there :(

1

u/NineIntsNails Zombie 5h ago

oh so there are even more flickering artefacts out there in the wild then🤔

2

u/-Yukiforever- 2h ago

Once you get into the CNPP, that's where the rest are, and not to spoil anything but there's a cool quest involving them.

1

u/NineIntsNails Zombie 1h ago

i think ive done all the quests and i gathered two, within quests😮
buuuUUUuut if there are some outside of the quests
(and obviously inside of these strange brain mushers)
then, i guess they are the reasons and causes

2

u/-Yukiforever- 1h ago

I really don't want to ruin too much; there are 4 you can get, one in iron forest and the rest around the CNPP

There's an NPC called Otter, who's quest involves these!

Keep looking stalker!
