    When mentioning chopping trees you forgot to mention hidden mechanic of doing kill missions. You can chop wood inside a safe building and when emission starts you skip time but the ones outside dont have time to run to safety. So you can kill with emission like Thor.

    A very important tip: Use the disguise system to exchange a uniform from another faction with a desired suit from any other faction (you need an 100% repaired uniform and to attach the faction patch when you are hidden an no one sees you, an fully repaired suit from another faction and some money). For example: you are a Loner and you want a scientific suit from ECO, so you take the first ECO uniform you find, repair it, find an Pathfinder/SEVA suit repair them to, get 32000 money, now disguise as ECO go to Yantar and talk to the scientist in the Mobile Lab and select the option to exchange suits, to get a Diamond suit or a Sapphire suit.

      you can actually see this mentioned in the tip he put up on screen at 0:34 (posted by me lol), I figure he didn't mention it because some players have mentioned that using it can cause lag? but as far as I understand the lag is caused by having a lot of items in a stash in general, so I believe take all/deposit all doesn't solve that issue

      @@tealbaron2808 It's a good tip, I almost included it in the video, but after some thinking I actually like having the weight limit!
      With the move all / take all trick you can store your loot easily early game while going over the limit, but it's annoying just enough to push you to use the hideout system by crafting boxes as soon as you can at the same time which is a good thing imo!

    Backpack stashes are a MASSIVE hack for travel. They are super cheap (only being beaten by guides), and they allow you to bypass crap and go up and down high places quickly and easily. Right click a backpack in your inventory and do "create stash" and then right click it on your PDA map to fast travel.
    Re: high places or anywhere that's hard to access: let's say you're at Chernobyl, you'll put a backpack on the very highest of areas thats 100M or more upwards, and you'll put another backpack on the ground. You don't get charged extra for travelling different heights, so you only pay 100 rubles to TP from top to bottom, or bottom to top, and there's no load times for short distances like that. Saves you tons of time and gets rid of the risk of falling. I have loads of backpacks on top of buildings (eg. Zaton eastern factory) so I can start above all the respawned enemies and kill them easily.
    Also a good option if a level has loads of walls or underground areas or anomalies you need to screw around traversing. Good to skip the burners in Wild Territory (put a backpack at the start and end of that area), and another example would be to put stashes near traders or within the walls of an enemy base so you don't need to run around the long way to get to where you want to be.

    Here are a few tips I gathered in the game:
    1.An Unethical Tip if you are just super duper struggling with meds is to find a faction you hate and will not return to and just...killing the Medic. They give you thei full inventory of meds AND noone cares since they are part of the MERCHANT faction
    2. whenever youtake apart armor, and get low quality textiles do not sell those if they are used for crafting. The recepie does not care what the quality is, only the armor repairs do.
    3. There are a few re-occuring missions in the game, which nets you potentially a lot of stuff. Watch the news feed if you are in Army Warehouses, and if the leader says he needs help defending the Barrier GO" Its either Zombies or Monolith that you have to kill, and it can net you a lot of good gear + if some freedomers die, shame.
    - same if you are in the Great Swamps, there is a mission to defend the Pump Station which needs you to kill like 50 bandits that are spawning arround you. Just have a sniper and a few meds and you are gonna be golden. (You get like, so much junk and PDAs, and even the rifle for HIP has a high possibility of being get)
    4. Okay this might not be the case anymore, I havent played in a while so im like 2 versions behind I think, but artefacts in anomaly fields are a bit weird.
    - So I found that If I go to an anomaly field and pick up an artefact, and hang out there absorbing the radiation for a bit somethimes artefacts spawn back a few minutes after being picked up. I think it has something to do iwth entity/object spawning and maybe that field was supposed to have 2 oer more and it needed some update
    - Also Also, in the Red Forest there is that one Electro field near the hill, it just spews out artefacts one time I found like 4 or 5 there
    If youre going to do another softer playthrough just for fun, I would love to see you utilizing the merc lottery. I personally played around with it and i have mixed feelings about the differences between the original and the "fixed/Rebalanced" one (the one that is added to GAMMA by default)
    IMO:
    Original one is more rewarding, but a bit unbalanced, like if you are lucky you can get set after giving them like 50-100 patches and I prefer that one over the rebalance
    The Rebalanced could be good, if it worked becasue I swear to god they gave me 60 556 ammo components 2 times after returning 100 monolith patches which is...just...Bullshit

      Completely agree on the merc lotto, you "can" get some crafting tool sets rarely but overall it's worthless for anything other than northern factions like mono who struggle getting stashes.

      Another thing about Lukash: like the barrier defense missions, he will regularly offer weapon fetch tasks. Take these whenever you see them, even if you don't already have one of the guns he wants in your stash. The payout on them is nuts. He once gave me 100K for a 100% chimera hunter. On average he'll give you around 30K to 40K for even fairly common guns as long as they're in very good condition. If you're stripping every gun you come across and hoarding parts (you're playing GAMMA, so of course you are), it's incredibly easy money.

    Really useful video, would appreciate if you put chapters on it.
    TL;DW:
    1) GATHER WOOD WITH THE AXE: You can buy an axe on mid to end game and use the "Chop Wood" option after right-clicking on it to gather wood.
    2) SCAR ARTIFACT QUICK HEALING: You can exchange psy health into normal health, NOT recommended unless you can quicksave because there is a chance to trigger something that will slowly kill your psy health.
    3) BALL ARTIFACT TO KICK ENEMIES: Equip the Ball artifact, press F and start kicking mutants. Recommended for zombies and slow enemies.
    4) READING PDAs: When you find enemies' PDAs, equip them and read their content, usually they contain data on new stashes which are important for the GAMMA main loop (finding basic/advanced/expert tools)
    5) LOW CROUCH GRABBING: if you can't reach artifacts or stashes, go in "double crouch" mode pressing CTRL + CROUCH KEY. The "grabbing distance" is linked to your eyes.
    5.1) SHOOT PERKIFACTS: you can move them by shooting, I don't know if you can damage them tbh...
    6) EASY TEXTOLITE AND MIL-SPEC TEXTILES: disassemble "Rusak" gun oil or the "Zviezda" glue tube.

    i play without the travel path available from the beginning to increase the feeling of progress.
    the path between garbage and wild territory being unavailable, early in a run it is difficult to go to Yantar since the wild territory is guarded by mercenaries (difficult for me who don't use my starting points and begin the ironman run with only a knife)
    but, now that you can climb on stuff, new area of wild territory are accessible.
    you can just climb the building on the left after the merc sniper nest and jump down where you were not suppose to have access prior to the climbing update. From there you can walk all the way past the merc campsite by the construction site and even skip the fireball anomaly field. you can't climb past the fences to go back to the normal area that is supposed to be played but you can keep walking behind the fences and access the pathway to yantar.

    Something I haven't seen many people talking about is that all armor parts around 30% condition or better are worth hanging onto. Unlike guns, where *base* condition and *part* condition are two completely separate things, repairing an armor's base condition also repairs the condition of all its components. At 100% base condition, all of an armor's parts with also be at 100% regardless of their starting condition.
    This means that most replacement parts on a 5-piece armor can be dogshit with just *two* parts needing to be of perfect/near-perfect quality to hit the magic number of 50%, the lowest possible base condition needed to be repaired with a weight-specific repair kit ("Light/Medium/Heavy Armor Repair Kit"), a single charge of which combined with the bonus from either a ball-peen hammer or camouflaged tarpaulin will then get base condition just barely high enough to start working on it with generic repair items. This doesn't apply to exoskeletons since the exo repair kit requires a base condition of *60%* to be usable.

    -Forget about snipers in late game. (except Deer Hunter i guess)
    -7.62 ammo is a trap.
    - GET A GUN WITH GRANADE LAUNCHER. It's so easy to craft and it does not weight that much, and a well placed shot can clear a full armored chad squad in exos and nosorogs with 1 shot.

    Disguises are even more useful because it enables you to do missions for enemy factions - It is a good idea to disguise yourself and open your PDA to check the task board when near a group of enemies, even if you intend to wipe them out, because you might find an easy quest to do for money and a potential stash location.
    I especially love delivery missions because you can just open the packages for free loot, LOL! I'm not sure if u actually lose reputation points when opening them after removing your patch. The problem is that it can sometimes be tricky to complete the quests, you have to creep up from behind the NPC's, which might not always be possible.
    Playing as a Sin doing missions for loners in Cordon is awesome for hunting for stashes with drug kits or gunsmithing tools (they have a higher spawn chance the further south you are). It might be possible to do Hip's quests too.

    Re: Stealth: You can tell how easy or hard you are to see by how illuminated your character model is, but there's also a setting under MCM under the "Stealth" header for a light indicator icon that appears next to your minimap.
    The way the illumination setting works, is that there are areas that will make you harder to see (eg. undercover, or in a bush). If you cross over into a dark area your character model starts to get darker over about 3 seconds. But you can move half a foot and suddenly you'll be fully visible. Keep that in mind - it's almost a binary thing, and being in an actual shadow may mean you're fully illumatinated and everyone sees you from long distance, whereas you may be out in the open in the sun and you're in one of these areas and you'll be invisible, its odd.
    Night time, or even cloudy days or rainy days will add a huge passive buff to stealth and your illumination level will only be half (or even fully invisible) which makes travelling tons easier, but you'll also be able to easily sneak into camps and set up attacks.
    Running, and rustling in the bushes are 2 ways to break stealth, so be careful about those, especially in a firefight

  • @Shark2th5000
    @Shark2th5000 9 місяців тому

    This works in base game Anomaly, but I don't think if it works in Gamma. Also, this is certainly an exploit, but it can help with getting you mutant parts or more optimal missions:
    You can save-scum the quests that NPCs give out. So if Dushman only offers you a garbage-tier assassination contract in Darkscape, you can save and reload for an assassination contract in Limansk, for example. Great for stacking Monolith assassination contracts during end-game expeditions.
    This also works for mutant parts. After you kill a mutant, save the game prior to checking its inventory. If you've killed a chimera and need to get a chimera claw for a poaching contract, for example, you can continually reload your saves until you get what you need off its body.

    its a bit of a silly tip but it can be helpful, if you have an artifact stuck right inside an anomaly you can shoot the artefact. larger calibers will launch them pretty good, shotguns are particularly good although sometimes they can send the artifact to orbit. it wont damage the artifact and with a bit of luck will roll it right into safety.

    Tip: Have you ever wanted to use a two handed weapon and still have the artifact scanner active at the same time in Stalker GAMMA?
    Well you can, if you equip the scanner and switch to third person camera and back to first person camera the artifact scanner will disappear from your hand(it wont disappear from your inventory).
    but it will still make a beeping sound when close to artifacts and will still reveal artifacts. This allows you to use two handed weapons/PDA while still using the scanner.
    The down side of using this trick is the scanner view will reset when you ledge grab or uses consumables like vodka/healing.
    You cant quick melee whiteout pressing the scanner button(effectively un equipping it).
    Oh and it still drains battery since its being used :)
