Something i learned just recently, the messages you see about people finding artifacts are actually real. Multiple times ive seen familiar names say they found an artifact and when i kill them, they will have those in their inventory. I haven't gone much in depth on how it exactly works, but it seems like the characters that send those messages are usually in your current area. So thats an alternative to artifact hunting i guess :)

I was searching for an artefact once in an anomaly that I saw on my detector. A clear sky member next to me got it first and announced it on the public messages you see in game. I talked to him and the name matched the message. I then (for testing purposes only of course *cough*) proceeded to kill and loot him and voila, he had the artefact on him.

Luckily I survived and got his loot, but I was wondering where did he even find four artifacts right in a row in that area?

Well this is huge for those who can't find the damn expert tools.

Few tips I use most of the times: 1. Do not complete second stage of Fanatics quest (where you are suppose to get the artifact). You have a free early companion (he does have higher carry capacity as well to normal stalkers). To access his inventory use C menu. 2. I recently found that if you give a backpack to companion their carry capacity increases. Does not work for armors as far as I can tell. 3. Giving fully repaired weapons to companions degrade their overall durability, BUT NOT the parts durability. Which means you can strip it and put the parts back (with tool kit only) to bring it back to full quality. 4. When you have your PDA out you can press reload key to lower it and hold it like a minimap. You can turn around a look around in that mode and bring PDA up with the same key. Useful if you do not like to play with minimap.

5:14 - Just a Tip about the Hunter's Kit bonus for extra Mutant Parts. Whether or not you actually _need_ to have it equipped for the bonus is actually determined by a setting within either Gameplay or Progression difficulty (tbh i can't remember right now exactly where it is, or if it begins turned on or off by default, i think that changes based on the diffuclty you choose), but yeah; If you want to be able to make use of the Hunter's Kit Bonus while still wearing your Combat/Tourist Bag, make sure you actually have the setting enabled in the options that allows the bonus to be applied even if you've got the Hunter's Bag shoved into your worn backpack of choice.

If you need to repair armor, craft a repair kit. make sure to disassemble every armor set you don't need/want and keep the components stashed away. Swapping out damaged armor components actually _increases the durability percentage_ and can get you past the threshold to use other repair items. This is something that I was told in only *_one_* armor/repair system tutorial out of the ten I watched.

idk if it was mentioned already, but you can buy tools like RF receiver, Anomaly Detector, etc. from your merchants and dismantle them. All of them give you 2 of each material for like 4k, which is probably the cheapest quick way to get materials. Also, a quick way to get lvl 5 suppliers is just by going into a general area of where a lot of stalkers are (Clear Sky base for Clear Sky, Rookie Village for Loners, Bar for Duty\Loners, etc.) and accept all the small quests like "Give me one dog meat", reload the safe when none found. Usually, areas when different factions are present are better, for the reason of contributing almost always to all of them. (For example, Clear Sky base also often gives rep for Ecologists). You won't get much money, but I've got 400+ rep in one in game day for factions like Clear Sky and Ecologists doing this. Pretty good quests are the ones with RF reader, they drop 3-4 bodies with full loot for you just to grab and typically yield 10k+ reward on hardest difficulty (also the locations of the bodies are the same, so you don't even need to look for them next time). After that are the docs ones and all the ones that give you stashes, mainly for loot. Then check the overlapping ones, or quests that can be completed by sleeping (mutant hunts or stalker hunts). Use Med crafting kit, not the best for low tier meds, but can be used to craft very good meds for way cheaper than buying, and even some that are extremely hard to get (like final drug that heals you completely and knocks you out) (also has an easy way to craft epinephrine). So yeah, collect vodka and other raw materials for that. Try to get a sniper rifle (even in bad conditions if the DMG% is above 80), they can shoot a couple of times before jamming, and you can craft bullets for relatively cheap with the ammo kit. Is an easy way to kill targets like military within the start of the game (yea Cordon military camp is the main target, don't use pistol like me). Also for the same reason, if you manage to find a weapon that can hold a grenade launcher, take it, as military have a decent chance of dropping one with some rounds, so may be also an easy way to do some hunting. Quick tip for the Clear Sky enjoyers like myself, accept the Ecologist companion quest and all the hunt quests (both mutant and people) for Swamps, then use the ecologist as a strong companion. Usually they spawn with good weapons, and can help you easily do the missions.

Horde the PDAs, the more you sell at the same time increases the trader offer price exponentially. Ex. 1 pda is 100, 2 is 210, 3 is 350.

If you find a weapon you really want to use, but the barrel and the parts are busted, you can still repair the entire gun back to full if you have the correct gun repair toolkit. Handgun for handguns, Army Rifle for ARs, Historic for shotguns, and Advanced toolkits for end game guns. You can buy these from mechanic traders if you have high enough rep with the faction, or you can craft them yourself. You can check to see what repair toolkit you will need by right clicking the gun and going into the details page. Once you have the correct repair toolkit for your gun, right click your gun and select maintain parts, cleaning and repairing each part.This way you don't have to worry about the part's durability being too low to repair, you can just take the gun, get a repair toolkit, and repair it to full.

That's so far, 3 minutes of solid facts, Also, note that in avoidence of an obvious loop, Yantar fella does not sell those voddies, so you need to buy/find them elsewhere. Also, bonus: fax : do missions for Dushman (pleb in Dead city) sometimes gives missions up around limansk and red forest, red forest is deffo one of the nice places to find the best tools, even as early as 5-6 days.

Very cheesy, but (works with base Anomaly too) if you wanna give a gun to a companion you can field strip all its parts and they'll still work. That way you only have to deal with its base condition and barrel degradation when maintaining it, and you get free parts. Even more cheesy is you can unload them every once in a while to get their ammo. Useful if it's a rare ammo type or the same one you're using. Upgrade your binoculars zoom ASAP. It's cheap with technicians. Bandages also give some limb health (though I can't remember what limbs exactly). Can be situationally useful to save your other meds. As much as possible, take tasks like lost frequency in Meadow. Map is very small, pretty safe, and bodies are easy to find (for me they're usually in the industrial compound in the northeast). You can probably do it even without the RF receiver. For beginners, I highly recommend you practice your headshots on zombies.

Meadow is about 95% of my Lost Signal missions for the reasons you mentioned. Small, safe, and there are only three specific locations where the bodies could be: in the warehouse in that industrial complex to the north, outside said same warehouse in said complex, or in the small village to the south. I find Wild Territory Lost Signal missions okay, too. Three locations as well where bodies could be: at the Merc Sniper Nest, near the crashed helicopter by the railroads, or the burning tunnel. There are Mercs at the construction site and near the exit to Rostok, but being friends with the Swamp Boys and getting their uniform will cover you when it comes to being around Mercs. I turn down Lost Signal missions set anywhere else as anywhere else has maps that are either too big or too dangerous.

Cheaper fast travel: When you're going to fast travel first of all use a guide in your safe zone so it's cheaper, but also check the taskboard (default: J) to see if there's a package delivery mission for your destination. It often covers the travel cost and then some. Great way to save huge amounts of time and money over the long run

If you right click other stalker PDA's you can also view them. Most are encrypted and you can decrypt them at most technicians. This is a great way to find extra stashes.

about the Night Vision Devices... i think the point with the NVD and the detectors is just the same as with your PDA. Its just a little logical feature for all of us who loves this kind of love in games. Electrical devices project the picture on their screen through light, which i assume, causes a little problem for NVD's (too much light). I have to turn off my NV-Device as soon as i take out my PDA and the same thing counts for the detectors. The upgrades of your devices just comes with the same cost as in reallife when you put too much trust in technology. It may goes south at some point. The thing with the grizzly detector you noticed would be a personal favor/tipp/discovery which i really like that you concluded it in this video. Long may the sun shine upon you.

I learned the poltergeist thing naturally. I’m like a deer that stops immediately when they hear or see something they don’t like. Going after Strelok’s hideout in Agroprom, my screen started turning blue and I stopped immediately. It went away. I start walking again and it does it again so I stop. Took a few times, but it stuck finally. Deer have a nice system of threat detection.

One more thing: you can actually repair weapon parts below 60% with Part Repair Toolkit.

@Rexhunterj I'd say Rostok or the Freedom Base in Army Warehouses are the best safe starting locations since you don't get harassed by mutants/have a lot of open buildings to build in. Cordon is a bit too far from northern areas IMO but has the Northern Farm which is close to teleport spots. You can even try the Factory in Agoprom or Train Hangar in Garbage. Late game I like to set up in Jupiter at the Freedom base because it's closer to more important spots (there's a shortcut to Outskirts) and there's a nice basement to set-up storage.

how does this work exactly? i think you are confused, the repair kits arent "used" when you use them to swap out parts in firearms. even if you use the technicians workbench it wont use up the repair kits for the workbench "repair" aka swapping out parts. if i am wrong let me know

I am not sure how it compares to skinflint, but some bases medics will also give you a mission for drug making kits

This is still my favourite shooter game never gets old !!

Work for the mercs. If you survived the Pseudogiant attack at the base when you first started, then you will surely manage to get those documents Dushman told you to find in the Deserted Hospital as your fist job

another graphical tip is enabling "sun_details" in the console. makes grass look amazing in sun and moonlight.

Hey maaan, I think I know the hunters kit thing from you. 😂😂😂 You show the settings and there is a option to turn it on or off. Good vid thx

The poltergeist thing is really interesting. Also, not sure if this is well known, but if you left+alt and drag the artifact melter into an artifact it... melts the artifact and the equipment gets a lot more uses. Very good when you're on a streak creating artifacts and your melter's running low.

You can repair weapon parts inside the gun with designated cleaning tool, the one that have >10 icon on it, without using tools or repair kit. For example it's "aurora .. something" for shotguns or "rifle.. something" (don't remember, sorry) for assault guns like ak-74 or m4. It work exactly as repair tool kit (right click on gun>maintenance parts) but cheaper :) and every lvl 1 mechanic sells them. Works only on green parts inside gun, including barrel.

Can you share your graphic and alife settings? And what reshade preset do you use with gamma?

Completing a technician's tool quests, and a doctor's drug making kit quest allows you both free access to the workbench AND the aforementioned toolkits. Besides that it's also a very easy way to make money. Medics and ecologists are also the best places to buy meds, or med making supplies as they both sell more of them, and ask less for them. The average armour level of most factions is between 3-5 from mid to late game (with duty and bandit/renegade being lower in general). buying low level devices like headlamp[s and echo detectors is a very cheap way to get upgrade parts for your own devices. In military runs, duty and ecologist are your friends. They sell better stuff than your own faction, and are way more widely spread across the map.

When I watched Drewskis videos, when in the mod launcher where it shows all the mods (not the gamma launcher), if you search "stutter" there should be a mod you can tick that will specifically fix that

I'm looking forward to crafting weapons in this mod! In Anomaly I didn't bother much I would upgrade a couple of guns, a semi-auto shotty and a twin-shot AK94. However, I've just played 'True Stalker' which is a scripted, story-driven mod, and I'm eager to get back to stuff that is more engaging.

is both the vector and thompson drum mag in boomsticks or is that a seperate mod?

Ahh, even the King of Stalkers can learn new things 🙂

A few I figured out though I don't claim them to be particularly insightful. 1. If you want to sleep on command instead of only when tired go into MO2 and disable Immersive Sleep and GAMMA Sleep Balance. 2. If you find the fast travel system to be disagreeable in anyway it can be thoroughly customized in the Mod Menu under "Fair Fast Travel" personally I tweaked the prices way down so that normal fast travel is at its cheapest and hiring a guide is approximately 4-5 times more than that. I also disabled survival needs while fast traveling with the justification being the price it costs me to walk somewhere alone via fast travel is spent on snacks. Additionally I decreased the time it takes to fast travel, and completely disabled the part that randomly damages your gear. While I understand the desire to make fast travel more "realistic" that doesnt mean it needs to be so bad that its not worth using. Prior to my tweaks fast travel from one map to the next map over would cost like 2000, take multiple hours, and could damage the gear I'd just spent resources fixing. Thats dumb. It was so bad I was just running from place to place which is way too time and resource consuming, not to mention tedious. 3. Another fast travel tip, if you're having trouble interacting with a fast travel destination on the map, disable the option to "show areas" which will get rid of the little circles around hubs/anomalies that seemingly block the fast travel options. 4. Always repair a gun after putting new parts in it. While it doesnt happen every time, I have noticed a tendency for a 100% condition gun to degrade a few points simply from putting a 100% condition part into it.

Im pretty sure you can get the expert tools by doing the quest "Snitch" gives you in the bar. Its the one where you have to kill some of the top 10 stalkers.

problem being that several of the top 10 will be Monolith Legends that are likely in the CNPP, where you'd really want to be wearing an exoskeleton, which requires expert tools to repair. Personally on the two runs I've played of GAMMA so far, both my Expert toolkits have been from white stashes in Radar.

@@petrkdn8224 Yeah it's definitely just a case of who you have to kill and where. And it's got a randomised aspect. In my playthrough about 4 of them were deep in the CNPP and had an army of Monolith and high tier mutants between me and them. All of them died during the raid on the powerplant as part of GAMMA/Anomaly's main storyline. Because at that point I had expert tools, a fully upgraded exoskeleton, top tier weaponry and 5 people backing me up and it was a breeze. But if I'd had to go in there in medium armour, low level Warsaw Pact weapons and just a couple of companions who were more fragile than I was? Yeah, odds are I wouldn't've had nearly as much success. Especially true when you consider how much higher the lethality is in GAMMA over base Anomaly. Any singular bullet is likely to end you if you're not wearing a heavily armoured Exoskeleton-tier helmet, and in the CNPP you're looking at virtually a wall of bullets.

@Dr. TeaRex gamma is far from realistic, and also, I'm running only a few realism mods (none affect combat) yet you can still often die from one shot even with quite good gear. You are propably one of the people that came from Drewski, and hadn't tried base anomaly. You die just as much as in GAMMA.

If a weapons barrel is >60% and the weapons parts are functional and the overall percentage of the weapon is low u can clean the weapon up to 100% even with the cheapest cleaning kit BUT if u add kerosin it will add 15% which safe on cleaning kits and kerosin is common with every trader. Even works with your knife and disassembling tools.

I am so mad that I didn't know about Aslan till just now... I've been carrying around hundreds of patches just trying to get fetch quests for them... and all this time I could just have done this...

I turned on stashes have a chance for extra stash loot from Anomaly in the mod settings. I got the second tier backpack from the first stash I searched. I turned it back off because I was getting some seriously good stuff. It was almost too much cheese for me. I guess this is a good setting for those who don’t want to have to buy repair items as much, knives, backpacks and other stuff. I’ve gotten at least four of the Bayo’s that are capable of cutting thick skin in the first four hours of the playthrough I started. I think I’d be happier if you could turn off certain types of items it drops in the setting. I don’t mind getting an extra gluetube here and there or a handful of rounds, but skipping tiers on equipment for me is a bit much. Some may find this more than acceptable so I can’t say it’s just a bad thing. Just bad for those who want to scav for most everything, but always have the option if they feel like it or just want to do a chill fun run

here's a tip i learned by myself and dont see many people talking much often: instead of leaving a gun or armor that has bad condition just disassemble it and sell the parts to any technician, it's not alot but it might be handy very early in game.

The vodka for basic toolkit is very good. Just started playing and Got no Green stashes since only those drop basic toolkits in the newest version. Hope it works in Gamma 0.9.1...

Hey, how do you get rid of the absolutely blinding red flash when injured? Tone it down to the intensity seen here or something,

kinda nonbrainer but if you are just starting, if you find ANY weapon with barrel at 60%+ condition, TAKE IT, you can just swap out the rest of the weapon parts when you find ones that are over 60% and clening the gun is easy, you can have best weapons in the game without the need for a tool set if you find them with good barrel

I don't know if they patched yet or not and it's a little more on the cheat side but you can drag weapon components from the technicians to your gun and it won't cost you anything

The poltergeist thing is an OG game mechanic

When i start a game and want some challenge i don't pick any item and leave my points unused. When i want a faster start i pick the SKS and respirator the scope can be bought with around 12 000 rubble and with it you will be able to get nice armor from cold's main quest as well as high level weaponry by killing military south of cordon. while the armor obtain through quest will be in pristine state, the weapons not so much. Many good rifles and shotgun will require the Army Rifle repair kit to replace the parts and you might find yourself unable to repair the bad condition. except as long as the weapon's overall condition is above 10% And with a barrel condition above 60% that can be cleaned inside the gun, you can still repair it fully without any toolkit. First you will need to find a weapon with condition of 10 or more And with a barrel condition above 60%. then you need to find parts with >60% condition. if you possess the right set for the type of weapon ( progress, valupro or aurora) Right clic the weapon and use Maintain Parts to clean the parts inside the gun. not only will it repair the parts but it will also grant +15% overall condition. Cleaning any parts inside the gun this way will allow you to repair it above 30% condition where Hoppe's will do the rest. so in conclusion if you have found a weapon with a barrel already in pristine condition but only 12% overall condition, find the rest of the parts with a condition >60% and be sure to NOT repair all of them entirely before putting them in your gun. You want them still damaged to repair them inside your gun and raise the gun's overall condition by cleaning the parts inside the gun. if you can't find parts above 60% you still have the option of the Universal weapon cleaning kit to repair parts above 20% but this one is costly
