    Today a bit of a side step from WARNO I wanted to cover a game I have been playing recently and knowing it can be quite a lot to understand early on I thought I would cover some of the basics of getting started in Stalker GAMMA Mod pack for Stalker Anomaly.
    Feel free to as questions about the game in comments I will TRY and answer if I can but I am no expert at this game :)

    Small notice on 'silly missions', you should ALWAYS accept the missions which are asking for toolkits as by accepting those, a toolkit WILL spawn in one of the next stash location you acquire.
    If you never accept a toolkit mission, it is possible to never find a single toolkit within 50 hours of gameplay
    If you accept EVERY toolkit missions, you'll be stacked with toolkits within 5 hours (from lowest tier to highest tier)
    Also, if you take on a basic toolkit mission in the great swamps, then find one, don't bring it there but accept one in rostok and bring it there, the basic toolkit spawned by the rostok mission will still be spawned in a stash.

    First time in Anomaly, I woke up as a Clear Sky newbie. Walked outside and saw a (don't know its real name but I call it:) ball lightning forming in the sky. Me thinking it was scripted somehow I stood underneath it and then got blasted. Survived but realized by the wheezing and blackouts that I was probably dying. Saved myself only to then walk into an anomaly maybe 15m out from the gate.

  • @koeyala1377

    Gamma has been my first experience with stalker ever! And I gotta say I think it’s amazing, I died so many times that now I’m pretty decent at the game 😂 I ALWAYS play on Ironman mode tho it’s the only way that feels right to me… my advice to anyone new to stalker is be ok with fucking up… don’t let dying all the time or making bad decisions discourage you, I feel like it’s kind of the whole point of the game, you have to learn by mistakes. 20 deaths in you will start to really understand the game and remember what killed you the last 19 times… once you break out of your initial shell in this game it truly becomes a masterpiece

      In the northern regions of the zone there is too much crap that can kill you in a couple of attacks even if you are in top gear and even one shot you. I've been in the zone for 15 years now, know it like my backyard and still don't see any realistic options to beat this game in 3-5 lives. How a beginner should go through Liman, Red Forest or Radar and have any prospects after that is not clear at all. For hardcore, it is enough to simply set a high difficulty, and in a heap with saving only near fires and with a time limit, this is already a strong challenge. If that's not enough, then add another level of difficulty in the economy and start your journey with a renegade. And of course, turn off the open zone option, when all the transitions between locations are open to you by default, it greatly takes away the feeling of exploration.

    Just a tip for newbies, like me, who are scared by the difficulty:
    It probably will never be a really easy game but with gamma (and probably anomaly too) you can set your modifiers in the game to make everything a lot easier than shown here.
    Like shop prices, bullet damage and all those things. In short, there are multiple ways to make life easier :-)

    I really like this modpack a lot! That said, I found a couple of the mechanics a little frustrating.
    -Armored personal can take way too much damage, especially to the head. However, one headshot to yourself even with armor is death...
    -Having injured appendages you cant heal is extremely punishing. The game requires regular trips to the doctor regardless of your meds.
    -A mechanic cannot fix your damaged gun parts but can fix your gun? So you end up with a fully repaired gun with garbage internal parts. Doesn't make any sense. So really he doesn't fix anything, lol.
    Thanks for the tutorial!

    • @Bandanner
      @Bandanner  Рік тому +23

      Eventually I had to buy or craft AP rounds to deal with the enemies.
      You can heal your appendages you have to use two types of healing item at the same time though, so technically you don't have to see the medic (unless they changed something recently).
      The crafting system they put in is aimed at making you fix your own stuff rather than relying on the in game people. It's never really explained as such but that was the point of changes made to all of that according to the dev.

    such a good guide, after experiencing it for a few months as a daily game, many things can be learned, the most important thing ever since day one in-game is to scrap every gun and junk item and save them in a container/box, you never know when you need replacement parts for a new outfit/gun, the last thing someone wants is to get a new gun that jams when it is needed the most 🤣🤣, it is a bit grindy at times, once i was playing with a ppsh for an entire week every new gun found was completely trashed, money was scarce to buy stash locations...

    Regarding the tip from 47:53 - I just now completed the entire Clear Sky quest line and didn't receive any armor at all as a quest reward.

Obviously didn't get anything apart from the basic inventory. Made the start extremely hard for myself without even knowing it. I assumed it's just made to be painful.
    I figured later, that I must have missed something in the creation. But as I was already few hours in and got some basic stuff to work with I just rolled with it.

    • @Bandanner
      @Bandanner  Рік тому

      Thanks for the feedback, I am aware of the analytics ;)
      I mean generally it's purely by chance a particular mod pack or game blows up a lot of the time. As you note its blown up again recently because someone talked about it/showed it off.
      I enjoy making my guides and over time they do potentially get a lot of views with spikes like this current one. BUT for them to make any sense and be meaningful they require a significant time investment to understand the game they are about. And the risk with GMMA as already noted in a few comments is that they keep adjusting the mods thus some of my info is out of date.
      I am always delighted if guides I make help people as they tend to be based on things I struggled with myself.
      I am still debating about making more guides for GAMMA but it requires me to pick the game back up and realistically forget my old save and start over with all the new mods so I am seeing the same stuff everyone else is (or I will be talking nonsense).
