Before the disaster, Limansk was centered around a research facility and the city itself was built mostly to house the scientists' families who worked there. All that is known about their work is that it was codenamed Radiowave, but the purpose of the project is unknown now. The city also had a strange antenna array that towered over the other buildings. The antennas, combined with the mysterious headaches visitors to Limansk would experience, led some to speculate the Radiowave experiments were related to mind control. By the time we arrive there in Clear Sky, the city has been overrun with Monolith forces who are using it as a last line of defense to prevent Scar (you) from reaching the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. After fighting your way through the city, you cut through a deserted hospital and are able to enter the plant directly. Maybe Limansk will be the way we also access the other DLC area people have speculated about, the CNPP itself. As for what we'll find there and what the signal is, I have no idea. It's possible that some unknown faction took control of the facility and reactivated or repurposed the antennas.
It's also possible they will do extra fan service and have the DLC centered about whatever went down through the CS push into the North. While I'm not sure, i find it highly likely that the DLC will be centered around Spark vs. Ward. Ward alongside the IPSF is the replacement of the standard Ukrainian Military faction. Because you know. War happened so the Devs removed most of them so players won't shoot normal Ukrainian soldiers (they are gonna get modded in as the good old faction anyways), also their color scheme is really similar, green and camo colours but not the green shades of Freedom. Unless Ward and SIRCAA is funded by, and I wouldn't be surprised, NATO or the U.S. which would explain their absurd funding and why they are so active in The Zone, which in a way, just makes them "UNISG but they don't fugg around", but I thought that was just Mercenaries whenever American Arms Manufacturers throw them contracts for artifacts (happens a lot in-universe). Spark is 100% Clear Sky v2 (worse), they are led by Scar, their armour is blueish and they are against Ward and the International Mission cordoning The Zone. If you tldr their goals, it's clear they are nearly the same as Clear Sky's but far more aggressive as instead trying to study The Zone for the betterment of everyone and understanding it, they just want SIRCAA and Ward to gtfo out because it's clear they know far more than they say to the public and to the stalkers and are putting them at risk for the sake of gains to SIRCAA and Ward and because it makes their job easier if the tresspasers get irreversibly injured or die due to not knowing stuff The Gov already told to Ward and SIRCAA. Which again leads to them collaborating to dissapear people so helpful widespread knowledge is not shared and thus never reached neither the actual proper Stalkers nor the outside world. Something important to mention is that Spark (Clear Sky) base is NOWHERE to be found so I won't be surprised if the DLC shows their base either in Limansk or another part of the map that is currently unaccessible/doesn't exist right now. I don't think they are in the CNPP, the game leaves it very clearly that Monolith is roaming the North so they definitely are holding the CNPP still.
I highly doubt we'll be able to access the CNPP through Limansk again, and here's why: you probably noticed that in the Stalker 2 Zone layout, maps from past games are oriented differently (for example, the Swamp map which was where Clear Sky started, was right next to Cordon to the West, while in Stalker 2, it's far away to the East, next to Zaton, which was way up North in Call of Pripyat, North even to the CNPP, so you get the point). Stalker 2-s Map is way more accurate to the actual, real life Zone, with Pripyat situated North-West to the CNPP, Jupiter Factory, Yaniv Station and the "Red Forest" area is roughly right where it is in real life, the DUGA radar array is also roughly in the right direction, although in the game it's much closer and oriented differently to the CNPP, so my guess is in order to be more corresponding to the real thing, they had to make some concessions (for instance having the Swamp way over West didn't make much sense since the Pripyat River is flowing East of the CNPP, so they had to move around some territories for consistency's sake). So if you check the map in Stalker 2, Limansk is situated way over West/North-West of the CNPP (you can actually check the clouded area at the Center-North of the map is the CNPP, some parts are visible and matching the real-life satellite images/past entries's map), so the Hospital route from Clear Sky would just lead further away North-West from the CNPP. But I guess they can still mix and match territories and places further however they want in a future DLC.
@OnePlayer480 just want to say, there is no Spark Base. When you meet with Scar in Rostok he and the other Sparkers there tell you that. They even mention how funny it is that Wardens and SIRCAA are "looking for a base that doesn't exist. The zone eats anything that stands still."
This is what stalker is. It's not a game where you mindlessly wander around blasting bandits and mutants. I always try to avoid short range combat for more immersion. Stalker for me is exploring the secrets, more like asking; What happened here?
I know and understand your feeling but with Fallout instead. Mainly New Vegas and its vaults. What sort of secrets each vaults has within was truly fascinating.
@@tyj4195 playing FO3/NV as a lone stalker with hardcore survival mechanics is THE way to play. Hell, you can kinda get away with it in Skyrim with all the burial mounds and draugr crypts around
I thought the Chornobyl-2 town was this game's Limansk/Dead City into one, seeing this makes me hope they might actually add Dead City and Limansk into the game! Limansk is littered with Space Anomalies by the time of Clear Sky, I hope they further explore it with a more kind of Silent Hill style atmosphere like the Mist anomaly.
I think Dead City is mostly inspired by Chernobyl 2 i was a bit disappointed they didnt add it in the main game along with CNPP... which i still cant get over
@@Strellok100 By Chernobyl 2 you mean the Chernobyl City? Its quite weird how all three didn't feature or mention anything about the city itself. Maybe by Stalker 2's time, the city would've been a SIRCCA/IPSF base with heavy security.
it was marked as a possible location in the leak maps, but ultimately they cut it , again. dead city that is. It would have been wedged between Burnt forest and Lesser Zone, on the south end. there's a lot of locations that were marked for DLC locations that will probably not come to pass. considering those leak maps, have regions that suggested Iron forest and CNPP would be in the game, and were removed as visit-able locations. so who knows what will actually be DLC Limansk is mostly a lock, as for the other one, Cold Island, North of SIRCAA and the Cooling towers is the most likely, Option 2 is the Sandy Dune or Pripyat Outskirts, which were northeast/north of Pripyat
I remember playing Clear Sky as a kid, Limansk was so creepy. And there was a children's playground where you could go in and hear children's laughter with creepy ambient. I was really creeped out by that.
I loved that feeling so much. The first time I played SoC when I was little I was absolutely terrified of the controller in Agroprom Underground and I can vividly remember that encounter and how much it freaked me out.
I REALLY hope they bring back Limansk. I found this scary signal all on my own and the callback to Clear Sky had me feeling chills. i’d absolutely love to go back there as DLC but it’s also strange that CNPP is on the map yet we never go near it or the other cloudy section of the map by it, only the Generators map in the endgame which is 1 out of 3 of those cloudy portions… plus allegedly we are getting a snowy anomalous area DLC from what i’ve seen online (I.E. the collectors edition map has an area with snow? drawn on it kind of in the SIRCAA area of the map)
@ I wonder if the fact that the Cooling Towers exists as a pointless area of the map currently is an indicator that it will be used in the future to allow us to go into CNPP or the alleged snowy part! i’m very excited to see what we’ll get
@@lesterschild1065 no, that’s only partially correct. you go to the Generators during the endgame, which is only 1 out of the 3 clouded portions. there’s still a lot of map in that area we don’t have access to, AKA “iron forest” as someone as pointed out as their map glitched and gave the name for the CNPP portion. the Cooling Towers is the closest that we can get in the base game, but I haven’t really explored that area because it gives me creepy Jupiter vibes
According to the lore, Limansk was never evacuated after accident in 1986, so poeple have been living there to the moment when the Zone has appeard in 2006. I think forrester talked about it in Clear Sky (im not sure). These voices of agony could be people struck by the first emission which gave birth to the Zone. Absolutely terryfing.
So, do you think the signal is some kind of psi-imprint caused by the First Emission, or maybe some sort of recent leakage from the hole in the Noosphere as it expands that manifested as radio waves? To add credence to this theory, it seems to make the same sound as when you’re affected by psi energy at the beginning when you interact with the radio, if I’m not imagining.
Its the sounds or radiowaves passing through spacial anomalies, like in clear sky group of mercs could pass through space bubble very weak radiosignal, calling for help. Scar also were asked by forester to find suitable highground to be able to receive their message uninterrupted
@@dhwwiiexpertThe radio institute was located there and may have been assisting with the Brain Scorcher project at the time. Limansk was also a Secret City so they were probably already being experimented on before the first emission. I wouldn’t be surprised if C Conscience did alot of their research there given Monoliths heavy presence.
Limansk was previously a major Monolith strongpoint, as it was the location of one of the routes to the Chernobyl NPP. It was also connected to the Dead City, which in Anomaly was the main headquarters for the Mercenary faction. But officially, Limansk was swarming with Monolith and a lot of spatial Anomalies. As for what happened to the people who originally lived there, nothing else is known. As for that locked door, that originally led down into what seemed like an underground garage containing a couple of BTR-70s, a lot of boxes, some electrical Anomalies, and not much else. It was never locked or sealed like that before though. SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING'S IN THERE!!!
I hope they add more Mutants to the game via , I was a little disappointed on the lack of mutant variety, I was hoping they would add more of the cut mutants from the original trilogy but we only got the cat.
@@coltthemac962 I thought so too. There's so much concept art of stuff like walking tree-people, long armed humanoids, even troll-like mutants. I'd absolutely expect more mutants in the DLC
@@Sgt_Kane I expect more weapons too. Different grenade types(I miss the smoke grenades, stun grenades). More assault rifles as we are stuck with 2 choices(Kharod, Dnipro). I am not mentioning AR416, AKs and the rest, all useless, not enough penetration and such. Early game they are good choices, but later stages of the game, all become useless even with max upgrades. I expect more weapon variety with DLCs.
The locked door was used by Strelok to escape the Clear Sky and Scar in the previous games. If I remember correctly that section was actually blown up by Strelok so Scar had to improvise a bridge above the river, so (if I'm correct) there's a weird rettcon there. Limansk itself was an "on a rails" section and wasn't very interesting. Maybe there's a DLC that will use better the map and make something more interesting. (As someone else pointed in the comments, there's speculation that some sort of mind control experiment was made in the area, so that mixed with more horror would be an AWESOME DLC).
I believe they’ll add some sort of Hunter/Trapper DLC too as in Rostok there is another Trader stand, full decked out and ready to go just missing its merchant. Maybe this will be how we make money off killing mutants in the future? By harvesting their hide/heads, etc.
As someone who has played STALKER: Anomaly, having a system where you can harvest parts from mutants to sell sounds like a good idea. For all that standalone mod's flaws, that system is one of the few that is actually pretty good.
The Locked door is a part of the main mission and you need to go to that location to find an object to get into Pripyat. During the main mission the area is surround by Mercs which talk about Lymansk and so does a NPC inside the tunnel for the locked door.
Awesome that I immediately recognized the area from stalker clear sky just from that building with the snork, it's cool they paid attention to that. It also had a tunnel collapsed because Strelok detonated explosives behind him to escape and block off his pursuers. We have also heard those demonic screaming sounds before multiple times in Stalker, you can hear it randomly in the distance even in Stalker 2, but this was the most clear and loud version with the most screaming. Even the game Half-Life has the same screaming during the level "On a Rail". Sounds like otherworldy screams of the damned
That location was the enteance to Limansk. I remember playing clear sky 10 years ago and it definitely brings a tear to the eye. Scar and Clear Sky had to fight bandits there. Its awesome to fight alongside scar but its also sad to see what happened to clear sky.
The dead city Lymansk has always been a hell hole. even in mods that brought it to life in the original stalkers. its most likely going to be a bloodsucker and snort hell hole. in the previous games it was a battle zone between monolith and mercenaries.
I remember there being a massive duty military group that went missing in Limansk. It was speculated that they got sucked into a time anomaly were a horrible altered reality of the zone was played on loop for years till they died. I believe part of the group was found in the 2nd expansion of the og stalker game. Near a science facility that looks like an amphitheater.
1:41 may be able to open that door with a grenade through the window. Whenever doors have locks on them, padlocks specifically, if you can break that, like with using a grenade, it will allow that door to be opened.
Bruh when I heard for the first time it was like 1 o'clock at night minding my own business went up the tower an went "oh whats this I wonder" and then shitting myself as I looked across the water saying "oh hell naa" and booking it out of there place is creepy dude.
That tunnel with the locked door was once used to reach an underground - collapsed at the time you make it there - that leads directly to Lymansk. It is radioactive as hell and adds more to the mystery than it provides answers - that much I can say without spoilers.
I hope they add it in the future, as well as mutant skinning, nvgs, more guns, placing your own stash backpacks, and I really hope someone is working on Misery mod for Stalker 2!
Interesting, they might be also foreshadowing it in the beginning location, there’s a radio station where you kill two bandits and on the radio frequency it mentions that a guy looking like Forester was spotted
I found this today and thought exactly the same. I really hope we get to visit Limansk and something horrible and perhaps a new enemy (mutant boss?) appears.
I mean I haven’t played the previous stalker games so I’m not sure if the map looked like it does in stalker 2. But I assumed that the more clouded areas of the map like the entire top right were going to be dlc areas. Like the space directly to the right of the red forest or the area to the bottom right of cordon.
@@SynapseFire I've played the very first one years ago, it's physically the same areas that are recreated perfectly - but the map has beem slightly remixed to be more accurate to real life. As far as we know that's true, there are some areas on the map that are marked with names or even fully built but inaccessible. Those will probably be DLC
It’s been said to death but Honestly NOTHING comes close to the atmosphere of the Stalker games. I really can’t wait for the expansions. I’m hoping that they end up implementing the NVGs they have in the code at some point
The whole population of Limansk got burnt during the first disaster and their bodies became shadows on the walls. The city also had a miniature Duga which could have been used for mind control, as the population of the small city was acting strange and the people who entered it felt ill.
Well that tunnel originally was blown up by strelok in clear sky, so it’s rather odd that the devs of stalker 2 didn’t make the tunnel broken or smh like this
Existem vários locais destinados a DLC futuros que estão em arquivos do Game. Tanto a Usina Nuclear que no momento é inacessível por causa da radiação embora tenha Assets prontos e outros não finalizados. E existe as areas com Névoa que neste caso não estão bem detalhadas e por isso coberto por nevoas no mapa. E tbm parte de Prypiat que possuem altas texturas em alguns lugares. Como os Devs trabalham tanto fora da empresa, em suas casa que faltam luz, ou estão envolvidos num conflito era de se esperar que nem tudo estaria pronto. (inclusive motivos dos bugs e afins). Mas creio que até o final do ano que vem já venham completar. O jogo recebeu atrasos por causa de motivos terceiros. Espero que fique pronto logo. Gosto da Franquia e esse jogo me passa como é Chernobyl ao qual eu já estive, logicamente tirando as anomalias, e os Dogs que não sao cegos, mas bem cuidados e fofos (e com baixa radiação que esta em estudo atualmente já que parece que seus Genomas de DNA se adaptaram). (TRANSLATE FROM PORTUGUESE - ENGLISH)
Hmmm, the bridge to Lymansk is in the red forest, and every veteran knows thats where the brain scorcher was, if what Forrester says about the people there going crazy because of a strange signal, then it could possibly be a sign of something worse to come, maybe the true return of Monolith?
My favorite easter egg so far! Listen carefully to the human screams in the background, being overshadowed by mutant squeals. I believe its intelligent mutants that are doing their own experiements on humans, or caging them up as a food source. The humans there seem to be in a constant state of agony, but why?
That is a good theory. Personally, I think it is one of these things: 1. Horrific hallucinations from the psi-emissions, or 2. The feelings/consciousness of many suffering humans and mutants influence the noosphere, and these screams are coming from it/the zone itself. I don't think it's truly humans screaming/tortured with mutants there, because we hear these types of screams at random times in the zone throughout the original trilogy and Stalker 2. I think similar to the "whale noises" we hear in the zone, it's not a real animal, but it's the zone itself grumbling, or distant psychic frequences or signals affecting us. This transmission gave the loudest, most clear blast of these screams, though. So it seems something crazy is going on in Limansk, something with intense Psi-emissions or noosphere activity, perhaps.
@@anthonychase6906 In Clear Sky Forester said that Limansk was a scientific-oriented city and there was a Radiowave research facility along with a weird antenna installation that looked like Duga. Countryside people who visited Limansk were complaining on headaches and saw that the city's population was acting weird. And finally, the city wasn't evacuated in 1986, after Chernobyl. It seems there was some experimentation going on with early psi-installments developed by early Project "X". What we hear now are probably the results along with anomalous activity.
this area look like the place where SCAR chased after Strelok in STALKER CLEAR SKY. where STRELOK blow up the doorway and escape. in the original game, the bridge was not collapsed and lead to dead city
I wonder if they'll do something with SIN faction, seeing as it was cut content from the original games. Perhaps they could impliment SIN as sentient, zombified inhabitants of Lemansk, or a cult who worship the screams and voices from the former villagers or something.
@@Sgt_Kane I'm thinking this could be an easter egg, referencing the movie. But an actual DLC to this would be great, if they're willing to go that far with it
@@Gthelegendary don't worry about it brother I've played SOC without mods, I have the trilogy on steam and will get around to the others eventually. Played SOC around 3-4 years ago and loved it.

Limansk itself was an "on a rails" section and wasn't very interesting. Maybe there's a DLC that will use better the map and make something more interesting. (As someone else pointed in the comments, there's speculation that some sort of mind control experiment was made in the area, so that mixed with more horror would be an AWESOME DLC).
I believe they’ll add some sort of Hunter/Trapper DLC too as in Rostok there is another Trader stand, full decked out and ready to go just missing its merchant. Maybe this will be how we make money off killing mutants in the future? By harvesting their hide/heads, etc.
Don't quote me on this, but I believe that stall is supposed to be inhabited by Trapper, but he never appears there after In Search of A Guide.
As someone who has played STALKER: Anomaly, having a system where you can harvest parts from mutants to sell sounds like a good idea. For all that standalone mod's flaws, that system is one of the few that is actually pretty good.
There's a closed teleporter room in Prypiat in the hospital basement. And also Jupiter plant is 70% modeled.
The Locked door is a part of the main mission and you need to go to that location to find an object to get into Pripyat. During the main mission the area is surround by Mercs which talk about Lymansk and so does a NPC inside the tunnel for the locked door.
Awesome that I immediately recognized the area from stalker clear sky just from that building with the snork, it's cool they paid attention to that. It also had a tunnel collapsed because Strelok detonated explosives behind him to escape and block off his pursuers. We have also heard those demonic screaming sounds before multiple times in Stalker, you can hear it randomly in the distance even in Stalker 2, but this was the most clear and loud version with the most screaming. Even the game Half-Life has the same screaming during the level "On a Rail". Sounds like otherworldy screams of the damned
THE DEAD CITY
maybe they will make a Silent Hill like DLC.
That would be cool, actually
YES! WE NEED DEAD CITY WITH ZOMBIES AND MORE ❤❤❤
@@atonium2027rotting zombies though, not just brain dead fresh humans
I can’t wait to explore Limansk again it’s such a spooky city and the urban combat is top notch
The area is currently for a mission only really, a singular mission
That location was the enteance to Limansk. I remember playing clear sky 10 years ago and it definitely brings a tear to the eye. Scar and Clear Sky had to fight bandits there. Its awesome to fight alongside scar but its also sad to see what happened to clear sky.
The door that's locked is related to the end game quests
In tunnel with locked doors is story mission.
Nice pfp.
@@ulfrick11 Thank you^
The "Hell FM"
The dead city Lymansk has always been a hell hole. even in mods that brought it to life in the original stalkers. its most likely going to be a bloodsucker and snort hell hole.
in the previous games it was a battle zone between monolith and mercenaries.
The door is used later on in the main story
there is actually a story mission there as well which allows you in locked area but no lymansk yet as far as i know
Limansk is the most unsettling location in the Zone. Always gives me chills.
I remember there being a massive duty military group that went missing in Limansk. It was speculated that they got sucked into a time anomaly were a horrible altered reality of the zone was played on loop for years till they died. I believe part of the group was found in the 2nd expansion of the og stalker game. Near a science facility that looks like an amphitheater.
1:41 may be able to open that door with a grenade through the window. Whenever doors have locks on them, padlocks specifically, if you can break that, like with using a grenade, it will allow that door to be opened.
Bruh when I heard for the first time it was like 1 o'clock at night minding my own business went up the tower an went "oh whats this I wonder" and then shitting myself as I looked across the water saying "oh hell naa" and booking it out of there place is creepy dude.
That tunnel with the locked door was once used to reach an underground - collapsed at the time you make it there - that leads directly to Lymansk. It is radioactive as hell and adds more to the mystery than it provides answers - that much I can say without spoilers.
you have me intrigued, I'll definitely make some more progress with the story. I like to explore these games first and take story as a side mission
Someone has to try to anomaly jump into the city if no one had tried yet
This was my exact response when I came across this. Lymansk is too cool of a spot to leave out... I want my STALKER Stalingrad.
I hope they add it in the future, as well as mutant skinning, nvgs, more guns, placing your own stash backpacks, and I really hope someone is working on Misery mod for Stalker 2!
Interesting, they might be also foreshadowing it in the beginning location, there’s a radio station where you kill two bandits and on the radio frequency it mentions that a guy looking like Forester was spotted
I found this today and thought exactly the same. I really hope we get to visit Limansk and something horrible and perhaps a new enemy (mutant boss?) appears.
I mean I haven’t played the previous stalker games so I’m not sure if the map looked like it does in stalker 2. But I assumed that the more clouded areas of the map like the entire top right were going to be dlc areas. Like the space directly to the right of the red forest or the area to the bottom right of cordon.
@@SynapseFire I've played the very first one years ago, it's physically the same areas that are recreated perfectly - but the map has beem slightly remixed to be more accurate to real life. As far as we know that's true, there are some areas on the map that are marked with names or even fully built but inaccessible. Those will probably be DLC
It’s been said to death but Honestly NOTHING comes close to the atmosphere of the Stalker games. I really can’t wait for the expansions. I’m hoping that they end up implementing the NVGs they have in the code at some point
Im interested in how theyre gonna go about it, cause that bridge is radioactive asf
The lock door is part of a main mission
The whole population of Limansk got burnt during the first disaster and their bodies became shadows on the walls. The city also had a miniature Duga which could have been used for mind control, as the population of the small city was acting strange and the people who entered it felt ill.
Well that tunnel originally was blown up by strelok in clear sky, so it’s rather odd that the devs of stalker 2 didn’t make the tunnel broken or smh like this
Yeah, one of 2 possible DLC locations for sure
Hmmm, the Deserted Hospital is over there too, maybe it’s from there, it used to be a monolith place, perhaps the DLCs will include this 😮
I play Clear Sky three or 4 times. Limansk didn‘t ring a bell.
Existem vários locais destinados a DLC futuros que estão em arquivos do Game. Tanto a Usina Nuclear que no momento é inacessível por causa da radiação embora tenha Assets prontos e outros não finalizados. E existe as areas com Névoa que neste caso não estão bem detalhadas e por isso coberto por nevoas no mapa. E tbm parte de Prypiat que possuem altas texturas em alguns lugares. Como os Devs trabalham tanto fora da empresa, em suas casa que faltam luz, ou estão envolvidos num conflito era de se esperar que nem tudo estaria pronto. (inclusive motivos dos bugs e afins). Mas creio que até o final do ano que vem já venham completar. O jogo recebeu atrasos por causa de motivos terceiros. Espero que fique pronto logo. Gosto da Franquia e esse jogo me passa como é Chernobyl ao qual eu já estive, logicamente tirando as anomalias, e os Dogs que não sao cegos, mas bem cuidados e fofos (e com baixa radiação que esta em estudo atualmente já que parece que seus Genomas de DNA se adaptaram). (TRANSLATE FROM PORTUGUESE - ENGLISH)
Hmmm, the bridge to Lymansk is in the red forest, and every veteran knows thats where the brain scorcher was, if what Forrester says about the people there going crazy because of a strange signal, then it could possibly be a sign of something worse to come, maybe the true return of Monolith?
Clear Sky nostalgia)
My favorite easter egg so far! Listen carefully to the human screams in the background, being overshadowed by mutant squeals. I believe its intelligent mutants that are doing their own experiements on humans, or caging them up as a food source. The humans there seem to be in a constant state of agony, but why?
That is a good theory. Personally, I think it is one of these things:
1. Horrific hallucinations from the psi-emissions, or
2. The feelings/consciousness of many suffering humans and mutants influence the noosphere, and these screams are coming from it/the zone itself.
I don't think it's truly humans screaming/tortured with mutants there, because we hear these types of screams at random times in the zone throughout the original trilogy and Stalker 2. I think similar to the "whale noises" we hear in the zone, it's not a real animal, but it's the zone itself grumbling, or distant psychic frequences or signals affecting us. This transmission gave the loudest, most clear blast of these screams, though. So it seems something crazy is going on in Limansk, something with intense Psi-emissions or noosphere activity, perhaps.
@@anthonychase6906 In Clear Sky Forester said that Limansk was a scientific-oriented city and there was a Radiowave research facility along with a weird antenna installation that looked like Duga. Countryside people who visited Limansk were complaining on headaches and saw that the city's population was acting weird. And finally, the city wasn't evacuated in 1986, after Chernobyl. It seems there was some experimentation going on with early psi-installments developed by early Project "X". What we hear now are probably the results along with anomalous activity.
Sounds like a Controller attack.
So GSC (the developers) confirmed that this broadcast was actually me farting into the mic as I screech at the top of my lungs.
Damn. I really should have replayed clear sky and call of pripyat before getting in stalker 2
Locked door opened later through main quest.
such a stalker moment
It says on steam if you buy ultimate edition it gives you access to upcoming dlc
Mb it's a promo to some Zomby mode (COD-like), so Limansk will be a separate location
On second thought, let's not go to Lymansk. 'Tis a silly place
this area look like the place where SCAR chased after Strelok in STALKER CLEAR SKY. where STRELOK blow up the doorway and escape. in the original game, the bridge was not collapsed and lead to dead city
That is definitely the place friend, you remember correctly
If they give us Limansk, then they will give us Hospital and Pripyat Underground
I wonder if they'll do something with SIN faction, seeing as it was cut content from the original games. Perhaps they could impliment SIN as sentient, zombified inhabitants of Lemansk, or a cult who worship the screams and voices from the former villagers or something.
Those are oblivion lost build noises lol
Could the Brain Scorcher be back online and on that radio transmission are victims of their brains being fried in real time?
This is giving me Event Horizon vibes
Exactly what i thought!
@@Sgt_Kane I'm thinking this could be an easter egg, referencing the movie. But an actual DLC to this would be great, if they're willing to go that far with it
You can use UEtools to fly there,
I never even thought about doing that, I'd try it after I'm finished with my first playthrough
Ravenholm
There will be quest before get to the 😂prypiat
You should play Clear Sky with mods
@@Gthelegendary don't worry about it brother I've played SOC without mods, I have the trilogy on steam and will get around to the others eventually. Played SOC around 3-4 years ago and loved it.
@Sgt_Kane The times I tried to play clear sky, it was impossible due to how poorly it was made, with mods they fix most of the errors and improve graphically, so I was able to finish it hahaha
They really just cut contents and sell as separate dlcs for even more money huh?
There is 2 planned DLC for now, and none of them contains content regarding Limansk
How do you know what the DLC will have? Just asking not saying you're wrong
@@anthonychase6906 idk where the guy got that from but there is absolutely zero info what dlcs will include
@@anthonychase6906 seems like my respond got deleted, all Stalker 2 Project was leaked back in the day with leaked build, there was whole planned map of game even before release, DLC's were mentioned as well 'Sandy Plateau' and 'Cold Island'
Possible necropolis city dlc?!! That would be terrifying.
The rtx 5090 gpu is going to look so good on this when I get it 😩
Once they fix the game, ill care about a dlc
More like sequel
