Duty based. I've seen too many whitligigs to just act like it's normal. Plus, Duty seems more about recruiting people and saving them rather than just "kill everyone who disagrees with us." they're actually pretty good.
The problem with the faction wars is that after you capture the main base of a faction, enemy NPCs will still spawn in the base, usually in great numbers and will easily kill the few allied NPCs that decided to populate the captured base. Saw this happening many times with different factions.
@@Dimitri-tq8ti I don't mind respawning but have them do it in a different location, having them move towards the base and not spawn *right* in the base, killing allied NPCs before they have a chance to react...
@@P9HL2BETA actually there's a way to wipe completely some factions in the game. The NPCs spawn in specific locations marked by the game, for example: the depot on the garbage, or the barricades to agroprom. The way to stop the NPCs spawning, is that other NPCs platoons (or mutants) take that specific point. In my last Clear Sky game, I wipe Duty and Bandits completely. After I kill all of duty on agroprom, red forest and the army warehouses, and making sure Freedom platoons were all agroprom, duty didn't spawned again on the game. The most difficult was the bandits, but I managed to do it as well, I just killed every bandit on the depot, the garbage, and on agroprom; and with some luck of the RGN saw that mutants went to the depot, and that make the job. The PDA was showing there was only 1 force from the bandits, but I'm pretty sure it was the one on Limansk
That was always always my play. I'd have the tech in train hanger ("Hey Sasha, wake up, you bum!) do the last upgrade, and then I'd kill all of the bandits in the hanger. Good times.
I didn't know that until I wanted to fully upgrade the suit. So I decided the edit the config file to give the flash drive to the Freedom tech. So he can do the upgrade himself.
you can upgrade the seva suit all the way until the final upgrade without the bandits, and im its still more than enough to beat the game comfortably. seva with all upgrades except the final one is still head and shoulders above others imo
Honestly, the cannon ending for CS imo is taking parts with loners and freedom. In soc loners more or less hold the garbage, despite bandits attacks Kostyan captured the warehouses Duty was out of agroprom. Cannonically Bandits and army pushed freedom out of the southern zone
Maybe, but I don't think so. Almost half a year past between the two games, so a lot of things could have happened. There is no reason for those things to happen in Clear Sky, and then nothing happening until Shadow of Chernobyl starts.
@@anomalousdugout9557 Its all player choice so its not cannon I have a theory that duty left cuz they made a treaty with the army and mercs came back and took down freedom base and gave it to the bandits Remember when a stalker said that borov is into some big stuff well thats one hell of a proof and lab key too bandits left the garbage so the few who stayed got whooped
I actually agree with you and in some capacity so does the wiki. The betrayal of the commandant at freedom likely compromised their base and borov made a move, seeing as the army warehouses were secured and much better equipped plus closer to untouched areas with artifacts freedom moved and on top of that it also explains why there is a Merc outpost in the north west of. Army warehouses. Additionally no mention of rostok is given. Rostok and the wild area aren't even a zone in CS. Duty moved to rostok after the emissions became more violent and like lebedev said "scrambled" territories and anomalies/cut off paths that were once safe, agroprom and surrounding area became irrelevant to duty when freedom moved closer to the center of the zone. Loners pushed bandits out and borov usurped yoga and moved for dark valley and he likely spent his last movements trying to retake garbage. Bandits fractured into borov's dark valley and splinter groups in cordon and agroprom. Strelok blew up the tunnels that bypassed brain scorcher in an attempt to evade scar... This is why he has to shut it off in SoC. I'm hoping stalker 2 will take us back to limansk.
The bandits are the most difficult faction but also the most rewarding; all those defence objectives from duty and loner, not to mention the loot you can sell from them can make you big money, not to mention the bandit technician limpid is able to fully max out an Exo-Skeleton as well as a SEVA suit, I always joined them and became filthy rich quick, I also enjoyed constantly destroying the Loners and invading Duty for funsies
I'm still sad that you can't permanently join Clear Sky. After you take the swamps from the Renegades and leave it, you'll not be part of Clear Sky anymore
But Clear Sky is like in a great secret, so they can't filly accept a guy walking around the zone, he could make everyone aware of them and it would mean the end of the Clear Sky since they don't have too much forces.
@@timahhendrix9055 Could be a mistake from the devs, but I like to think the Stalkers see that armor and think it's just a loner with Blue camo police uniform( i think polish/russian)only with a better bullet vest that they brought from the outside.
I have actually managed to wipe out duty completely while playing as freedom, you have to go to every location and kill them all and in the end you go to their base and kill the rest. The stop respawning after you kill the last guys in the base
As someone who is playing clear sky for the first time i didnt know joining factions was possible. After leaving the swamps i thought i was still a part of clear sky till i went back to the swamps for a sec and got shot by clear sky dudes 😂 also when i went to the garbage i thought by clearing the bandit main base there, stalkers would spawn because i was friends with them alot but i didnt know i actually had to join them completely and i was disappointed when the bandits respawned... Either way loners seem the best faction to join because you are neutral with both duty and freedom and you wont face any trouble from both when travelling to the north.
I did join the bandits before completing yantar. I can confirm it is possible to do the mission, but you basically have to try over and over to bug your way thru the mission without getting killed by the stalkers xD
I had the battle of my life against the bandits. I killed many of them, saved the game many times and in the end I was bleeding and carrying my loot. I almost didn't make it because they were back really fast and in a really large number.
Really wanted to see if it's possible to join renegades after joining bandits since I think they become neutral to Scar. Shame it wasn't in this video, I should try doing that
i joined the duty and now im trapped in red forest trying to kill freedom millitaries i dont have any first aid kit and any anti rads and they are too strong they always throw grenades at me and i die can u pls telll me how to fix it?
the weird think is that i always join freedom because i like freedom so i killed every duty sqad on the map so every duty member was in their main base and then i attacked on the main base and then there was no duty member and they dint spawn i did go across the whole map and nothing they just dint spawn they dissapeared i dont know if it to everyone cause my friend did it and they spawned funny
checkhov Quest to find the PDA is broken In my game, only gun spawned , not corps ..the PDA is supposed to be on one of the corps. i have one backup save like 5 hours before...what can i do ?
So if I join Duty, I'll just prolong the inevitable and die in Army Warehouses. If I join Freedom, all I gotta do is deal with Duty Squad after Duty Squad in the Red Forest, then diddly my way through Army Warehouses, Limansk and then to the CNPP.
You can completely wipe out Bandits and Duty. With Bandits it is very simple, just capture their base with Loners, then kill remnants on other locations and you will got 0 Bandits. With Duty is harder, but the same way - capture their base with Freedom, then kill few squads you meet during your playthrough on the main quest and Duty will be also 0. With Loners and Freedom it's not possible. Loners have multiple spawnpoints that Bandits are unable to capture. And Duty for some reason, when you capture Freedom's base, doesnt take the building where is Freedom's spawnpoint, they capture another building next to it, so Freedom's squads will be constantly spawning. I remember, in my playthrough I made a literally stalker's paradise: 0 Bandits, 0 Duty, Freedom and Loners controlling everything, a complete peace in the Zone, only danger remained is mutants except few Renegades squads on the Swamp, few Monolith squads on the Military and few Military squads on the Cordon. However, in that case, when spawnpoints of Duty and Bandits are captured, game starts spawning mutants much more actively.
@@mb77mb66 Yeah, I played Clear Sky the most. Because, you know, this chapter with the Faction War are the most challenging, you really need tactics and management of your money and ammunition. Plus, it's truely feels like you are a member of a faction in a war for survival in the Zone, not just doing some quests for some dudes in colourful clothes, who most of the time sit on their asses and trashtalk about each other.
@@АлексейКузьмичев-е7б Nice. I never had to manage in Clear Sky, as you can take all looted rifles to the Swamps to Clear Sky trader and get a lot of cash, much more than other traders. I steal rifle scope right from the start, upgrade a pistol and shotgun and whole game is breeze :)
I have the problem that I captured both exits of the garbagde, thing is the freedom people won't take the upper point, so the quest there stays open, which means they won't push into dutys map...
I did the missions like in this video and then he asked yoga if I could join the bandits and he said he had to verify me and that he would let me know via PDI. so i can't.
I remember conquering freedom base as duty, but they respawn again, and I think it didn't count as a victory, maybe one of them was hiding somewhere, so it didn't count as a win
Yeah, dont leave until the radio message confirms you took over the base. Also if you cant see anyone around, bring up the PDA and they should show up as a red dot
How do mechanics like faction squad, resources, and strength bars even affect gameplay? You'd think the higher they go the more better weapons and population a faction would have. I mean in my playthrough the Stalkers are at their peak yet Cordon is overrun with mutants of all things.
my depot mission is broken it says wait for others loner to come and they will get stuck or capture another outpost even tho they are right next to the depot
I thought joining bandits would be fun, but i never managed to fight my way out of garbage and i eventually gave up. Its relentless. Duty/freedom was very easy. Both factions seemed to accomplish everything without me doing much of anything while with bandits i was the only one doing anything
In my new playthroughs the freedom faction war is annoying as hell,which is mainly owed to (where the hell is the freedom squad!) (the constant bandits trying to take over the barricades,and duty if you havent taken over Road to the garbage) (Freedom is mauled by the constant duty respawns)
There is not really a best faction, it's up to you really. The easiest way is to not join any faction at all, while the hardest way is to join the bandits.
Bro, I just finisehd Clear Sky right after Shadow of Cherry and Im freckin disapointed... I need someone to talk to but none of my friends played any of the games... I will start Call of Rasputin tomorrow.
so now i actually join the Loners ( i joined a week ago lul) because it's very uh cool ( not very) and i like killing bandits in stalker anomaly but yes Duty too me kinda uh meh but nevermind. Loner is life Loner is ♥️
I'm pretty sure you are automatically reset back to mercenary as soon as you enter Cordon. That's what the wiki says, and I can't remember one time where it did not do that in my playthroughs.
@@anomalousdugout9557 You can, but returning will yield less bonuses over all, you still have to pay the guides, and the discounts from the traders are weaker
God, faction war as a Freedom is a bitch. Whenever Freedom wankers decide to actually move into Agroprom, they constantly get mowed down my exoskeleton Duty members with PKMs because for some reason, Freedom troops are armed with 74Us at best
Eh I know those troublrs... Try patching with all six patches. Alternative is to use a mod which gives you control over items, some spawner mod, can help a lot

There is NO "ecologist" party inSTALKER Clear sky. The "ecologist" from STALKER SOC are here the "scientiests" party. PERIOD. They just changed their door tag.
The best way to play would have been (but is not possible unfortunately) to join LONERS (stalkers) to take the Bubble artefact, then Duty (or Freedom), to grab those two body armors and then to switch to FREEDOM (or Duty) to take that exoskeleton. But if you choose one , the other becomes enemy and once become enemy there is no way back. Unfortunately.
The best option, sacrifice to the monolith. Be hostile with everyone and pray to a rock xD
Too bad, it's not an option in Clear Sky.
True bro 😂
@@anomalousdugout9557 It is. But not in the story-line. You must get the faction commander mod.

God, faction war as a Freedom is a bitch. Whenever Freedom wankers decide to actually move into Agroprom, they constantly get mowed down my exoskeleton Duty members with PKMs because for some reason, Freedom troops are armed with 74Us at best
JOIN DUTY!!!
No, I don't think I will.
@@anomalousdugout9557 Why?
@@vladimirilyichulyanov1450 Because.
*Filthy anarchist!*
Clear Sky literally don't want me to play it, my first run my save crashed, the second one my game crashes everytime i load the game :D
Eh I know those troublrs... Try patching with all six patches. Alternative is to use a mod which gives you control over items, some spawner mod, can help a lot
Anomalii dogout if you se E this message you have some stories about dead soldiers in the yantar
I see what you are refering to, and you just gave me an idea for a future story. Thanks !
Shame i cant join Military in original game (Lore wise u can't). Luckey i play Call of Chernobyl ^^
Yeah, that's what mods are made for.
I actually join Duty for some reason i can't explain and yes Duty is my fav
Edit: bruh view my seccond comment i not joining Duty i not like them but whatever. Ok goodbye
Yes i'm subbed a day ago but anyway
Alright, you can join Duty if you like them.
@@anomalousdugout9557 i joined already but freedom is my enemie but whatever
@@anomalousdugout9557 i joining the Loners but duty to me kinda meh. Ok goodbye
Bandit is shoot all you can
Faction wars realy good idea but unbalanced not well optimised our hope stalker 2! Will be amazing
Yeah, but that's also part of the fun I guess. As for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, we'll see soon enough.
Anomalii dogout if you se E this message in the cordon stalker shadow of chernobyl i think that military suit its a joke if that military suit was uniquily suit it war nice. how anomalii dogout?
Was
And how was at the final leter
@@anomalousdugout9557
I write not good
I was telling that military suit in the cordon military base it was nice to be a suit
@@DUSK3R_ You mean the secret military armors in the attic ? Their stats are broken if I'm not mistaken.
I'll pick Bandits and Freedom when playing as Scar, because I still think Scar is a bad guy, and belongs with bad guys
Strelok I'm gonna go with Duty because gigachads go with gigachads
Bandit is best becuz cheeki breeki
i like bandit ! i be bandit this is fun game :D hahhah all faction dont like you :D you are fucking alone all games
So bandits isthe worst one to join?
GSC are bandit haters, unnaceptable.
Atleast you can join the Bandits. Can't sadly join the Renegades though
I mean, you had to kill so many bandits in Shadow of Chernobyl, I'm not surprised.
True
At least they hate duty
Sorry for my bad english...
You can also Join Clear Sky, or the Renegats.
And there ist more Faktions like the Scientist. And Ecolog.
You can't join the Renegades, or any other factions than those shown in the video. At least without mods.
There is NO "ecologist" party inSTALKER Clear sky. The "ecologist" from STALKER SOC are here the "scientiests" party. PERIOD. They just changed their door tag.
We are only talking about the factions that have the actor_ prefix
The best way to play would have been (but is not possible unfortunately) to join LONERS (stalkers) to take the Bubble artefact, then Duty (or Freedom), to grab those two body armors and then to switch to FREEDOM (or Duty) to take that exoskeleton. But if you choose one , the other becomes enemy and once become enemy there is no way back. Unfortunately.
Nice
Yes.
