The Zone is full of dangers and wonders beyond our understanding, and the concept artists from Heart of Chornobyl illustrated this brilliantly in their work. Awe and dread fuse together in a single place to show the true nature of the unknown.

So I just noticed my maximum kill distance... I don't even use a sniper in this game but either way how the fuck? 🤷🤣👌

In Hontas mission to kill burer, I go there, kill it, go back to honta and he just sits there without quest turn in option. Anyone had this?

She’s doing good so far guys she’s trooping through her first play through! Marshmallow is definitely into it I can tell you that if you guys got any tips for this little stalker let me know.

And those guys for some reason startd defending zeds XD

Hello Stalkers of the Zone. May Sidorovich bless you with good affairs and Myklukha pay you with tons of Koupons. Amen.

Question: do enemies in Veteran Difficulty inflict more damage? I'm talking both of humans NPCs with guns and Mutants. What about Anomalies? Are they more dangerous?

I've found conficting informations about and I would like to be sure. Thanks ;)

Is there a known bug for losing health no matter what u use?I've checked everything and there isn't a single mechanic that is making me loose health(I have cold/fever system mod installed,I got rid of the fever)went into god mode and still the same.

Basically we can convert base ammo types into high quality/expansive/AP through technition. If anyone knows how to make mods would this ever be possible like we can give ammo to a tech for a price or maybe goods and he converts our ammo.

(Repost cause automod didn't like symbols , and an update at the bottom)

So I was curious as it was brought up a few times recently

Someone had run call of pripyat on their phone (probably easier due to actually being on steam)

So I decided to download anomaly on my retroid pocket5, unsure if I will continue attempts, here, game loads, can create a character but crashes on load into the game

Game controls would have to be rebound if it did load, but I only

got it as far as being able to navigate the character creation and selecting some gear

Would this even be a fun experience on a small screen, probably not, but just sharing for fun

Specs from the site - (when checking during load screen, memory maxed out, not sure what the bottle neck is, maybe this can run this way on a steam deck or something more powerful) maybe I get myself that or an ally anyway

CPU: 1A77-2.8G 3A77-2.4G 4*A55-1.8G

GPU: Adreno 650

RAM: 12GB LPDDR4x-2133MHz

Update -I did get it running, ran to sidorovich and wolf and got some basic missions. I had to lower some render, texture and shadow settings, started to set more keybinds, may do a mutant hunt mission just for fun if anything , so far I was using next weapon keybinds to cycle through, need a holster key bind, maybe others

I found this unfortunate soul while exploring the CNPP

Just finished exploring it about 10-20 minutes ago, and what I saw was kind of bizarre. There wasn't much of note but a crashed helicopter, some anomalies and a bandit, and a strange lone ward soldier on the roof that kept respawn looping. I thought there was going to be some sort of secret item or something because it looked like it was leading me to the roof, but there wasnt much to see up there but a nice view of the C.N.P.P.

Was this planned for something? I want to say there was something I was missing, but I wouldn't know what it is. It kind of just felt like an area I wasn't supposed to be in.

New to the stalker franchise as a whole got gamma last night, every time I pull out my pda everyone nearby freaks out like I just stuck a rpg in their faces. Is this a common bug I’m assuming they genuinely believe I am pulling out a weapon (I rebounded pda to M if that causes a conflict of sorts) is there a way to fix this or this just normal with gamma?

EDIT: so I answered my own question, they don’t care much if you walk around with a gun pointed down with the B key however having your gun equipped even when pressing B then pulling out your pda for a split second makes them think your pointing your gun at them before the pda animation is complete not sure if this is common knowledge but I’ll keep this up for equally silly indivuals such as my self)

Here’s some recent pics of my loner kit so far! It took about 6 months and 3 different versions to get where I am now, and I’m extremely happy with how it turned out! I still have a few things to do before It’s done, but any advice, suggestions, and constructive criticism is very much welcome!

Equipment List

Clothing & Protective Gear
Gorka 4 Suit - Genuine Gorka 4 from Combat Arsenal, based in Kherson, Ukraine. The foundation of my entire kit.
Loner Faction Patch - High-quality embroidered patch from KommandoStore.
CQR Tactical Cargo Pants (Tundra) - Been using these since V1 of my cosplay.
Bates Gore-Tex Combat Boots (Black) - I previously used my running shoes, so this is a huge upgrade :3
“Vodila” Leather Fingerless Gloves - I ordered mine a little too small, but they still look great!
“Cheeki-Breeki” Balaclava - worn underneath the GP-4U
Soviet GP-4U Gas Mask - Fitted with two connected hoses, allowing me to route them into my rucksack for a cleaner appearance instead of having the hose hanging in front of me.
Telnyashka - Basically mandatory in a kit like this

Load-Bearing Equipment & Storage

Chinese Type 81 Chest Rig - Genuine military surplus. My primary rig
Russian TRUD VKBO Load-Bearing Belt - Replaced the original Soviet leather military belt I used in previous versions. The star buckle was cool, but it absolutely sucked at carrying equipment.
Yugoslavian SKS Ammunition Pouch - Repurposed for carrying spare Glock magazines.
East German Strichtarn Grenade Pouch - Repurposed for carrying bolts and other small items.
Coyote Tan Document Pouch - Features a long Velcro panel that I use to display faction patches I’ve collected as trophies.
Bandit Patch: Represents my character’s first kill in the Zone.
Monolith Patch: A trophy taken from a Monolith fighter. A little warning to anyone thinking of messing with this Loner. LOL.
Safariland Duty Holster - Genuine duty-worn police equipment, repurposed for my sidearm.
Romanian Military Surplus Rucksack - Canvas and leather construction, with leather straps and buckles that I think are used for web gear?
Romanian Cugir Type II Transitional AKM Bayonet - Genuine Romanian military surplus, carried in its sheath.

Weapons (Airsoft Replicas)

VFC AKS-74U - My current primary weapon, fitted with a PBS-1 Mini mock suppressor. Yes, I know the real PBS-1 was designed for 7.62×39mm weapons, not the AKS-74U’s 5.45×39mm chambering. But LOOK AT HOW MEAN IT LOOKS ON THE KRINK!!!
VFC Glock 17 Gen 5 - My secondary weapon, carried in the Safariland holster.

Other Equipment & Accessories

HP iPAQ h1940 PDA - Probably one of my favorite pieces of the entire kit, given how important PDAs are in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Rusty Metal Bolts - A handful of actual rusty bolts I picked up for free at my local swap meet.

Planned Additions & Improvements

Natural Weathering - The kit needs more field use. I need to break in the fabric, and let the Gorka and other equipment develop a naturally worn appearance.
Canteen - Still need to pick up something that fits the rest of the surplus equipment.
Working Electronic Artifact Detector - Hoping to eventually build or acquire a functional Echo, Bear, or Hilka detector with working lights and/or sound effects. Still figuring this one out.
VFC Stechkin APS - Potential future sidearm if and when VFC puts it up for pre order.

The Philosophy Behind the Kit
My goal isn’t to create a 1:1 reproduction of any particular Loner suit from the games. Instead, I’m trying to answer one question:

“If the Zone were a real place, what kind of clothing, weapons, and equipment could an experienced independent stalker realistically get his hands on?”

That’s why the kit is such a weird mixture of Soviet, Romanian, Chinese, Yugoslavian, East German, Ukrainian, Russian, and Western equipment. I wanted something that looked collected, traded for, scavenged, repaired, and upgraded over time rather than purchased as one matching tactical loadout. Still very much a work in progress, but after roughly six months and three major revisions, I’m extremely happy with how it’s coming together :3

Also, ignore the background for now. These photos were just taken in my backyard. I’m hoping to do a proper cosplay shoot soon, so if anyone knows of any legal locations in or around San Diego County with ruins, industrial areas, warehouses, or abandoned-looking environments that would fit the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. vibe, I’d really appreciate the suggestions. Ideally, I’m looking for places that would allow a controlled cosplay shoot with airsoft replicas and prop gear.

I've reached Prypiat, almost at point of no return, but I noticed I never went to cement factory nor cooling towers lol

So I decided to explore a bit. Didn't see anything to do at Cement Factory, so I went to cooling towers and climbed the red fortress.

Lots of stairs and ways to parkour, I've seen like only a single loot bag. Am I missing something?

And is there anything worth doing in Cement Factory and cooling towers?

----------

EDIT: Yeah I think I'm not supposed to be here. I parkoured down to an empty room like it was a developer oversight, but I could reach for one of the many pillar stairs. I climbed it and ended up clipping into the pillar.

Hi folks!!

Have you played GAMMA and thought "dang, I have all this furniture but I need a good spot to make my hide out"

Why not build your own?

This mod is a V0.0 prototype of a building system based on Ark/Palworld of base building, it uses the good well stablished Hideout Furniture to position the places, but allows the snap into position of the different pieces, in a tileset manner.

• Want base management? Try Homestead Mod;
• Want furniture? Try Hideout Furniture Mod;

What was missing is the glue. Check out the prototype demo:

https://reddit.com/link/1x7zd6k/video/9w6bluxsyxvh1/player

The problem is that we are missing tilesets and models. So, if you have 3D artists skills and stalker modding experience, can you help me make this dream come true?

The architecture is for tilesets, so the goal is to create different "themes" of tilesets, each piece with their own craft cost, that the players can choose what they want. Everything is allowed, extract pieces from the game and so on. What we only need is to keep the rules of the tileset and sizing.

I'm totally accepting help, you can checkout the source code here: https://github.com/caioaletroca/stalker-zone-architect

The mod is aiming towards Anomaly/GAMMA, ping me on DM and let's chat.

Thank you so much mod community of STALKER, let's keep this alive!

Edit: Creator of Hideout Furniture, if you are here, I'm open to have a chat!

Handmade meme. What character should I do next?

Is there any mod for a tinted glass for Seva like in older stalker games?

Imagine being able to wander around the Zone, tune into a radio station on your PDA, and kill mutants while listening to it.
Kind of like the radio in Fallout.
You could hear about quests and loot over the radio, track down mysterious signals leading you to points of interest, or even find and meet the radio host in person.
Man, I wish this was a thing.

Guys... im so freakin scared... I dont want the Galil ACE but I also dont want the Galil AR to only be able to shoot 7.62x51 and 7.62x39.. help me make it shoot 5.56 by default..

I want to play with a modpack but the next patch will probably break it so is there a way to stay on the current version?

Edit: I have stalker 2 only on steam
