That RPK is one of my favourite weapons. Once it is fully upgraded it is super accurate and firing AP it will down a Nosorog. Make sure you get an adjustable scope for it as well. Edit...2.00.10...you just picked up the BEST shotgun in the game!!! A little spoiler if you want it... Do NOT get rid of the KS....it one shots everything up to and including med. armour. It can be modded with a kit down to a short barrel and you can get a silencer for it from Clear Sky base. I have killed 2 Bandits with one shot from this gun and when I did it BLEW them backwards. If you upgrade it do not get any accuracy upgrades, it will only rifle the barrel making it impossible to use the shot cartridge (which is the best for it). Yes the ammo is expensive, but this is a gun for big mutants and for those indoor places you know are going to be trouble. Like Hicks said in Aliens..."I keep this handy...for close encounters". It is dangerous, it is fun....it is the KS-23. (btw...it is a irl gun used by Eastern Bloc police and Army for breaching and CQB. There are a lot of yt videos sbout it. Have a look at them if you get a chance). Edit 2:....crying pitifully into a tear soaked handkerchief.....you SOLD it.....
Autosave only happens for level transitions, not for area fast travel. This fact has broken me on a few occasions esp. when I had high tier suits as well.
Keep your eyes on the pda chatter...factions will announce if they find arties in the area you are in. Relatively easy pickings when Bandits get the arties from anomalys you cant get into yet.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie I think it's worthwhile to enable all of them IMO. Nearly all dynamic news is triggered by something real in the game--like David said, if a stalker says they found an artifact, they'll have it on them, and if they talk about an upgrade for their weapon, they were literally just standing in front of a mechanic getting that exact upgrade added, for example.
Those colored weapon icons look like they identify what class of weapon, is my guess. The pistols all have blue, shotgun green, assault rifle/lmg red, and the sniper rifle yellow. Edit: Or rather, which repair kit they require, now that I think about it.
The shaders have improved some since I last played a few years ago. Looks even nicer. Did they ever fix the "busy hands" issue? I always had this happen to my saves eventually to where I was having to quickload all the time to be able to pick up anything. Edit: Just found this mod "Busy Hands Detection and Blame"
The detection and blame addon should generally only be used when you suspect busyhands, but yes, in general some of the causes have been addressed. The modding community also now has a better understanding of how to avoid causing it--most often by trying to use a destroyed object or pass a null reference to an engine method, things like that.
SSS has come a long way, there are fairly frequent improvements which have layered an impressive level of detail onto the environment. A must-have mod imo. Let’s hope busy hands doesn’t rear its ugly head often in this playthrough.
That’s a combo right there. Easily the best early-mid game loadout, though I don’t know how that’ll compare with the BaS weapons. I guess we’ll find out 🤘
Really, that’s a thing??!! How on earth does a helmet parts mod block disassembly of guns?? I’ll look into this, cheers for the lead. I’m assuming that there’s a patch for it.
Blondie, Blondie, Blondie, I really don't understand how it's not your FIRST reaction to quicksave after finding premium loot like that SEVA suit. Did you skip that course at Loot Goblin University?

Oh no, if only the playthrough were live…😭😞
I’m sure we’ll come across another one soon. It would explain why that bandit was 1-shotting me.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie It's a beast, but it's also a relatively common drop from Bandits and Renegades, among others. It'll come around again.
Just have to hope it’s in half decent condition 😬
''Hiello Hiello''
Well hiello!
You need taskboard mod for your PDA. 10/10, would highly recommend.
This. Taskboard is a godsend.
Also, I DM'd a link to Crook's Faction Identification, which is how you get the IFF display when targeting someone.
Oh snap, I forgot about that. I’ll look into, cheers 🍻

Just gotta get into the habit of quick saving again.
For the algorithm!
For the Hoooorde!!!!

I need to check if all of that chatter is enabled, some of it was disabled when I last looked.

I think it was only the death reports I wasn’t interested in, though even those are valuable.

Hmm, the repair kit theory makes sense. I’ll have another look when I record next. Well spotted.

Find that AEK-971...
OH and the Fort-500, it just looks so sexy lol

Helmet Parts (for BaS) some times not allow to disassemble guns and Missing Parts
Really, that’s a thing??!! How on earth does a helmet parts mod block disassembly of guns?? I’ll look into this, cheers for the lead. I’m assuming that there’s a patch for it.
@Blondefire_HeyBlondie yeah that's beauty of center zona, i think there is no patch for it or outdated.
Damn, that’s a shame.
Blondie, Blondie, Blondie, I really don't understand how it's not your FIRST reaction to quicksave after finding premium loot like that SEVA suit. Did you skip that course at Loot Goblin University?
I was thinking the same thing...what a shame....that suit is one of the better SEVA's in the game.
It’s been far too long apparently 😂
@davidohalloran1311 Yep, that was very disappointing, but my own fault 😫
55:30 Not really. That one is entirely on you for not saving.
Also, Blondie is loosing it.
Hard to lose what you never had in the first place. :D
@Tekisasubakani 😭
PEEN!
