@@flexdon5188 let me hop on and check the name real quick and i'll edit this comment Edit: it's in the abandoned farmstead location in the attic, you'll have to either sneak past or fight some bandits that are already there, then when you grab the suit you'll get ambushed by more honestly just run away from them with the suit it's not worth the ammo or the coupons to repair gear.
18:00---- I learned this the easy way, I have a friend who's a veteran stalker and didn't know this but you can actually go through glass without taking damage - if you take your time- don't walk full speed or sprint especially, just tip toe through and you can make it through with 0 damage
cool, nice to know only knew u can crouch to avoid most of the damage if u avoid falling of things or jumping, u are good to go ^^ never stop to learn it seems, and Stalker 2 realy has the perfect Stalker Vibe so far, im realy impressed
Still managed to get thunderberry on fourth reload of save. By the way Thunderberry makes an audible sound when it hops to a new location. I assume these amped up artifacts all jump around the anomaly quite a bit . If you keep hearing it teleport alot. it must be thunderberry and just run at the sound throwing the tool at any anamoly in the way. Edit: also be ready to run . that area is very dangerous with multiple groups for friendly fire issues and bloodsuckers. Two of them spawned... after I walked out of the tunnel with thunderberry.
This took me about 2 hours to get after multiple reloads lol. Not sure how this guy shows him getting it on the first try. According to research, the thunderberry has a 5-10% drop rate in the area within the video. I was so thrilled when it finally dropped as it is such a gamechanger with the armor combo. Almost died by sprinting through all of the anomaly electricity in my celebration. Priceless.
Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet but If your a loot goblin like me your gonna be always stacked with loot to combat having to constantly head back to base I would recommend setting up outposts all around the map by clearing a POI and using the loot box to store ammo,meds,food and maybe a spare weapon. I also recommend having a “loadout” ready before rushing off into the zone as speed is definitely a huge advantage when you don’t want to waste ammo,meds and time. Cheers for listening to my Ted talk :)
i let myself use certain cheats to carry better because i am loot goblin, loot goblin for life. No matter what game. Sure yeah, i could blast game through with 1-3 guns but thats not fun to me, i could but dont want to. Life is hard when you are loot goblin and cant give up, you NEED search every inch and every item when i dont even need it. F this, feels like a curse. Currently have several different ammo and their variations all have 3x900, some have little less and one type have 4x900 and almost halfway to 5x900. It took me like forever just to loot ammo, other stuff and certain weapons but most i can leave on the ground now, progress.. Yee. Eyes beamed to loot goblin comment by random or my brains are allready wired search "key words". Im worried usually that i was going too far in game and mess my guest by just being early on some place, just because one or couple items. - Fellow Loot Goblin

Yes that is true, but there is a pool of anomaly that can spawn in any location. There is a medium rarity that gives good endurance and bleed protection from the same train tunnel. But on my 6th run of the tunnel I got the artifact, just save before you try and rinse and repeat until you get what you want
@oneesan9306 no, but it only repeated once on me out my runs. I saved before entering the tunnel and I'm on series x not pc. Thought I'd mention that as that may be a factor as they handle memory management differently, like on pc it may load the loot instance from further away.
@@TAGSProle ya luckely ive got autosave in the factory so i just run from there atm and getting different artifacts...its actually good to mention that. EDIT: after 1:30h of grinding FINALLY GOT IT!!! i was almost on giving up 🤣
The fan service GSC served up for people who played the previous 3 games is top notch! So many old friends you run into from previous games (obviously Skif doesn't know them, but WE do). That burnt homestead bandit encounter and healing the Stalker actually had a similar thing happen at the same spot in Clear Sky. A lot of stash locations in Stalker 2 are stash locations in the old games as well!
@housemana The ai is a broken mess and ALife has been replaced be a basic spawner. In its current state, it doesn't feel like a traditional stalker game. That doesn't eliminate facts. They did a great job showing the zone after the events of the first 3 games and representing the characters from said games.
What is incredibly satisfying to an old OG Stalker player, is that it sounds and looks the same - it's like you just left for a while and came back. Brilliant. Nice video, too BTW.
PSZ-7 Military Body Armor can randomly be found on the guards around the Sphere in the Lesser Zone. @19:20 Sometimes you can get an artifact from the roof also
This is like the best armor ive found so far (besides the one the chik at rostok sells. But its a helmet armor combo so you cant decide what headgear you wear)
@@davidponder1654during the mission where you have to help the people at the detention center if you kill the Wardens a few of them potentially will drop their armor and gas mask so currently that is what I’m using and it’s like wearing a juggernaut suit with all the upgrades on it
For everydne complaining about repairs, Im still using the starting MP5 and a AK74M I looted off a bandit, as long as you come back to town to sell all the loot you pull off scumbags within a timely manner. I only spend around 1-3K on repairs but Im making like 5-10K selling off a bunch of AKS74Us.
When you sell weapons or clothes, add a cartridge, set the quantity to one and sell immediately without confirmation. You will see that your funds have doubled. This is a bug
If you want a pretty decent Seva V freedom suit which can be upgraded with 2 lead artefact containers (it's a bit of an exploit getting the armor), you can run to rostok and join the arena and when you get to round 3 (i think) you get the armor for the round, once finished drop it(close to the door) before going back to the guy who will automatically take the stuff back. Once he finishes talking to you run to the container which has your stuff (do not do this if you picked up the gear from the ground because it will delete it). So once these 2 steps are done (1. talking with the guy 2. opening the container) you can pick up the stuff from the ground and it wont be deleted.
Stalker 2 turned out just as I expected, I knew GSC wouldn't release their game in a terrible state as so many other games have released in the past few years. And sure it wasn't a perfect release, but they delayed it for long enough and most people that are having issues are ones trying to run it with outdated hardware it seems, but I built a new PC in preparation for this game alone. It was well worth it cause I have no issues besides minor bugs of npcs being janky when talking to them or little textures not in the correct place, but its easily overlooked and does not damper my enjoyment at all. This game is incredible and so faithful to the series! Other devs need to take note of how you make a game and don't rush it. I can't believe I'm finally playing this game though! I'm going to be playing Stalker 2 only for the next 6 months without a doubt lol it's so good !
Usually if the marketing machine is in full throttle mode the game is going to be shit, if it's somewhat silent, you know it's the real deal. This logic didn't fail me yet.
@@kevinh1792 npc AI is okaish, yes A-life is broken and devs noted this in last news, soon or late it will be fixed. Controls issue on Xbox also noted by devs in latest news, i am sure they will fix it waay faster than A-life.
You can get another freedom suit at the brood, it's on top the SE small building where the pipes intersect. Correction its the Guardian of freedom suit
For now best armour I’ve got is from last journalist stash. It’s in Duga region. Bottom left on map when you opened this quest. Enter the region - right bottom road from helicopter base. When you will find building save your game. You don’t need guns here. Knife and health is important. Just enter the building, stay to the right side of truck and wait for enemy that handle all firearm inside and also your guns. So set knife and wait until he will come for you. Couple mins and you will kill him when he go to the zone behind truck. 2 hours gone to find this trick, cause he has a lot of guns and they kill you immediately. Then you need to turn on generator, go to the balcony and open safe door. You will get sute with 4 artifacts slots, PSI protection and good all around. Also super gun for future
First time playing any stalker game but helpful tip I realized. If u don't want to lose all ur gear after the prolog, there's a safe u can put it all in right b4 doing the 3rd scan
Men, ur videos are great. Like it and helped me too. Tho I can't run and gun like most ppl. Those guys killed me a lot. Especially that camo mutants and dogs.
In Lesser zone, if you do the side mission to collect the debt for the barman. Go up that water tower, and you will find a scoped AK. Also, you can find a scoped sniper rifle on the roof of ISPF building.
9:05 you don't have to walk around to get on top where the loot is, there's a small gravity anomaly right next to it, just jump inside and it will spring you up on top (feels like this was the intended solution)
I never got thr same artifact as you, I got one called chocolate bar and despite wondering around with my scanner there was no more in the train tunnel 😢😢.
Something else for you guys, you can find a unique 416 assault rifle in the building to the south of the railway maintenance facility in the Zaton region, look for the blue truck, go through the hole in the wall and it's in there with ammo etc.
4:40 the Buket is SO good, I'm still using it because of that laser accuracy that makes headshots so simple. If you want an upgraded version the Spitter is available from a mission involving Zakar Babay and Sasko Cheery.
Your game runs so much smoother than mine. I think the 10700k is showing its age. I can't play with FSR on because it causes me to crash damn near everywhere I go.. Thanks for the vid, good stuff.
You mean the Chimera, a PSI mutant mountain lion that basically spawns illusions of itself when attacking. Edit: Oh wait that psi mutant isn't a chimera, and the chimera is exclusive to Pripyat.
@@dra6o0n no I don't mean that at all they are two separate things lol. you can look at the wiki and look at all the mutants including ones that didn't end up getting used. you can find these in the anomaly mod they found the code and put them in it
Its pretty cool how the progression in this game is, i restarted after having some issues and watched your first video on finding stuff. 2 days later i watch this one and i found all this stuff already it feels like im getting better at the game. Now i just have to stop falling off stuff.
I haven't seen any channel talking about the fact that literally once you exit the main prologue, you can head on to the Cordon region(from de SouthEast corner of the Lesser, and get an early AS Lavina, an SPSA, a Buket, the SPECIAL AK74U, a High capacity attachment for the AR, Military Body Armor, artifact and a bunch of goodies.
Same saved before the tunnel and got a different one every time I got a shell but already have that one so loaded my quick save and then got rat king and a other one but forgot it's name think it's fair to say they are random
@Bustugrimess i saved like maybe 80 meters away the entrance of the tunnel. Found one last night somewhere else then got killed by a sucker forgot to save and went back to get it again but got a shell that time from a spot where I picked up a thunder berry.
19:34 be careful with keys but if you pick one up and are unaware of it during your travels you may never find the door it goes to. I have a mystery key and I have no idea if it's useful for or not
Hey everyone, just a note, I got 2 of the PSZ-7 Military suits from the Lessor Zone, that was the bandit camp east of the Northern Point going to Garbage. The guy on the roof had 2 of these on him, just if you like to try and see if you can get it even sooner for yourself.
Spent 5 hours playing this today. What a rollercoaster! Had to get mods just to get it to work and I played on controller because I heard mouse controls are messed up - that was a big mistake. Will be trying mouse tomorrow... That being said, I've never played a Stalker game before but I've never been sucked into a game so quickly before!
There is another spot that is easier to get the wind of freedom suit in garbage, it's close to the outpost in garbage. It's in a fenced in area and you have to jump up on a pipe to the roof.
How do you like HDR support on it? btw I just posted actual INPUT LAG FIX and best settings video alongside, best start video, editing best artifact video now so feel free to check it out. not spamming just trying to help cuz game is very good but UE5 is...
In the Cooling Towers zone to the left of the tower with what looks like a portal to hell is a building named SKD Assembly Unit. On the top floor on the left side of the warehouse is a exoskeleton sitting on a shelf . Its got pretty insane stats but you can't sprint in it so that might be a dealbreaker to some but you can sell it for about 25k if you don't like it.
Man there are so many nooks and crannies to explore I'll be living in the zone through March. Lol. Stalker 2 is definitely a game where there is so much side content I can't forget to check in with the main story every now and then.
The UDP Compact isn't really comparable to Skif's Pistol, which you should already have a suppressor and extended mag for from the Lesser Zone. The suppressor in the Boiler House, and the extended mag from Solder's room at the Sphere. That "demon dog" is actually a psi-cat. If you want to go in on the Buket S-2 then you're better off going to the Slag Heap and doing the 'A Big Score' side-quest, which nets you Spitter, a unique Buket S-2 with a built in suppressor. You can grab the Drowned while you there. Thunderberry, like all legendary artifacts, is a a low chance RNG spawn from the the right type of anomaly field. Only Arch Artifacts have fixed locations. Wings of Freedom is fine, but it's really only something you want to run if you're poor. If you have a decent amount of Coupons then you're much better off getting the Guardian of Freedom armor located next to The Brood location. The Guardian of Freedom armor should do you just fine for most of the mid-game. If you walk or crouch, glass anomalies don't hurt you. The Detention Center basement also usually has a poltergeist.
I never played stalker before just started stalker 2 yesterday these comments are so helpful i didn't know i needed to be selling shit im a noob if anyone got advice leave a reply im immediately loving this game
you can actually get the ptz armor even earlier if you follow the stalker main quest in lesser zone i got it on both of my playthrough my stream and personal playthrough
11:40 inside that little room at the end of the tunnel is a merc with a sniper, just throw a nade through the window to kill him, then run down the tunnel to go loot it
That glass anomaly acts as a sort of non-Newtonian fluid. The faster you move through it, the more solid it becomes. You can't throw bolts or shoot through it, but if you walk slow it won't even damage you.
The artifacts are random, they are not the same every time. Also, the bandits at the depot are friendlies, you do not need to kill them if you don't want too. No idea if they are tied to a quest or not later.
North of the wind of freedom armor location, at the brood, there is a PSV-5 Guardian of Freedom suit on top of one of the buildings, on the south border of the burning dump, you need to parkour along some pipes to get to it. Has significantly better stats than the wind of freedom but weighs a fair bit more.
Me after jumping through the school window in Duga straight after leaving the lesser zone for the SEVA I Armor "A yes these would also have been okey choices"
I’m assuming artifact drops are all randomized, I ended up getting the flash artifact instead of the berry at 7:31. Im honestly not sure I’m still new to the stalker franchise.
FYI artifacts are RNG totally random on what we get Make a save before you go find it incase you don’t get the one you want I’ve done this about 50 times now and I still haven’t gotten the legendary artifact it’s actually annoying as hell Edit- finally got Thunderberry after 60 times I think
@@redspartan9825we will get to use the mods soon. Just like on Arma reforger, Skyrim, fallout 4 etc. So far it's great on series X. Can't wait to see it a year from now and all the mods.
You can get the military armour from the lesser zone. From the military compound I dk if that’s the correct name. Same with the skiff ptm suppressor. Can’t remember where I got this.
@ESO are these garbage side mission also still available after the kingpin mission since i broke the game now still having roosevelts PDA while the game says i finished that mission so ill go a save file back and first finish that ..
Yesssssssssssssss bro there's an ak with a scope on top of a water tower in the lesser zone i came across on a i wonder if anything is up there moment it's been monumental in the early game im only like an hour 30 in
i manage to find a green ak with a scope, its got a unique name like varik its good but i went exploring the edge of the lesser zone and found the VS vintar with a score, i use the VS instead because it comes with a build in suppressor, but the mag size is really poor and also it has some mad bullet drop, so in a way it sucks, but hey it still got a suppressor and a scope which is a win
The earliest exoskeleton you can get is at the chemical plant top right of the map right above the cement factory should be in a building I don't remember the exact location
So, with the extended mag dog thats hard to kill, lead him to the nearby anomaly, sidestep the dog and put the anomoly between you two, he will jump into it and die, no ammo ammo needed
Thanks!
i went to Cordon, as soon as i finished the Lesser zone Questline. Why? because its cordon and I wanted to visit an old friend^^
Did you snag the merc suit in it? Pretty solid suit but it's a hell of gun fight in the area to get it and then esape alive with it.

The demon dog you talk about in the beginning is actually a mutated cat they were cut from the original games but used them in this one
You mean the Chimera, a PSI mutant mountain lion that basically spawns illusions of itself when attacking.
Edit: Oh wait that psi mutant isn't a chimera, and the chimera is exclusive to Pripyat.
@@dra6o0nthe chimera is also in the swamp…. Ask me how I know 😐
@@thorrzyro A endangered species not so endangered anymore.
@@thorrzyroyup deep in the swamp and getting out of the swamp😭
@@dra6o0n no I don't mean that at all they are two separate things lol. you can look at the wiki and look at all the mutants including ones that didn't end up getting used. you can find these in the anomaly mod they found the code and put them in it
Well 😂 you are indeed a professional, compared to my gaming 👍
Great content Mate, Awesome 👍
Its pretty cool how the progression in this game is, i restarted after having some issues and watched your first video on finding stuff. 2 days later i watch this one and i found all this stuff already it feels like im getting better at the game. Now i just have to stop falling off stuff.
That excuse me at 5:40 killed me 😂😂
Some very nice tips here! Thanks.
I haven't seen any channel talking about the fact that literally once you exit the main prologue, you can head on to the Cordon region(from de SouthEast corner of the Lesser, and get an early AS Lavina, an SPSA, a Buket, the SPECIAL AK74U, a High capacity attachment for the AR, Military Body Armor, artifact and a bunch of goodies.
8:00 didn't find any thunderberry all i got was a shell
Same saved before the tunnel and got a different one every time I got a shell but already have that one so loaded my quick save and then got rat king and a other one but forgot it's name think it's fair to say they are random
@@Melle6991how far back do you save I do it right before I enter and I get the same thing
@Bustugrimess i saved like maybe 80 meters away the entrance of the tunnel. Found one last night somewhere else then got killed by a sucker forgot to save and went back to get it again but got a shell that time from a spot where I picked up a thunder berry.
thank you! Stalker2 is EPIC!
what an great video 💯🔥
Wind of freedom can also be accesed bu jumping into nearby anomaly under certain angle, it will slightly increase your jump
Min 3:20… Demon dog is easy to kill if you run back to the fire anomaly. Just put the anomaly between you and it, and it will run through and die.
19:34 be careful with keys but if you pick one up and are unaware of it during your travels you may never find the door it goes to. I have a mystery key and I have no idea if it's useful for or not
Hey everyone, just a note, I got 2 of the PSZ-7 Military suits from the Lessor Zone, that was the bandit camp east of the Northern Point going to Garbage. The guy on the roof had 2 of these on him, just if you like to try and see if you can get it even sooner for yourself.
Please do more of these for each zone in the zone please 🙏🏼
Spent 5 hours playing this today. What a rollercoaster! Had to get mods just to get it to work and I played on controller because I heard mouse controls are messed up - that was a big mistake. Will be trying mouse tomorrow... That being said, I've never played a Stalker game before but I've never been sucked into a game so quickly before!
There is another spot that is easier to get the wind of freedom suit in garbage, it's close to the outpost in garbage. It's in a fenced in area and you have to jump up on a pipe to the roof.
15:08, you can obtain that armor if you reach that tower sniper in Sphere location. I actually got two of them at once.
Nice need to try this when I get home 😊
Playing on series x & LG oled C1 TV with no problems at all.
This game is awesome so far.
How do you like HDR support on it? btw I just posted actual INPUT LAG FIX and best settings video alongside, best start video, editing best artifact video now so feel free to check it out. not spamming just trying to help cuz game is very good but UE5 is...
In the Cooling Towers zone to the left of the tower with what looks like a portal to hell is a building named SKD Assembly Unit. On the top floor on the left side of the warehouse is a exoskeleton sitting on a shelf . Its got pretty insane stats but you can't sprint in it so that might be a dealbreaker to some but you can sell it for about 25k if you don't like it.
at Detention Centre artifact could spawn on roof, so if it is not at basement - check the roof it has thermal anomalies also.
Loved the face plant dude im over 70 deaths after 7 hours this game can be kind of brutal lol
1:09 The silence pistol is not as good as Skifs Default Pistol with a silencer and is absolute BIS till endgame.... why would I swap that?
Man there are so many nooks and crannies to explore I'll be living in the zone through March. Lol. Stalker 2 is definitely a game where there is so much side content I can't forget to check in with the main story every now and then.
The UDP Compact isn't really comparable to Skif's Pistol, which you should already have a suppressor and extended mag for from the Lesser Zone. The suppressor in the Boiler House, and the extended mag from Solder's room at the Sphere.
That "demon dog" is actually a psi-cat.
If you want to go in on the Buket S-2 then you're better off going to the Slag Heap and doing the 'A Big Score' side-quest, which nets you Spitter, a unique Buket S-2 with a built in suppressor. You can grab the Drowned while you there.
Thunderberry, like all legendary artifacts, is a a low chance RNG spawn from the the right type of anomaly field. Only Arch Artifacts have fixed locations.
Wings of Freedom is fine, but it's really only something you want to run if you're poor. If you have a decent amount of Coupons then you're much better off getting the Guardian of Freedom armor located next to The Brood location. The Guardian of Freedom armor should do you just fine for most of the mid-game.
If you walk or crouch, glass anomalies don't hurt you.
The Detention Center basement also usually has a poltergeist.
I never played stalker before just started stalker 2 yesterday these comments are so helpful i didn't know i needed to be selling shit im a noob if anyone got advice leave a reply im immediately loving this game
Don't forget to unload the ammo off all the guns you loot, so you don't leave empty handed if they're broken.
you can actually get the ptz armor even earlier if you follow the stalker main quest in lesser zone i got it on both of my playthrough my stream and personal playthrough
11:40 inside that little room at the end of the tunnel is a merc with a sniper, just throw a nade through the window to kill him, then run down the tunnel to go loot it
That glass anomaly acts as a sort of non-Newtonian fluid. The faster you move through it, the more solid it becomes. You can't throw bolts or shoot through it, but if you walk slow it won't even damage you.
I found the hypercube in the magnetic cave in the lesser zone as well
Damn lucky, I found it in the big ole fire pit later on 🫠
Thanks brother 👍
The artifacts are random, they are not the same every time. Also, the bandits at the depot are friendlies, you do not need to kill them if you don't want too. No idea if they are tied to a quest or not later.
I think you were really lucky getting Thunderberry, the artifact spawned for me but it was just battery!
Make a full walktrough of STALKER I enjoyed when you did it for KCD.
North of the wind of freedom armor location, at the brood, there is a PSV-5 Guardian of Freedom suit on top of one of the buildings, on the south border of the burning dump, you need to parkour along some pipes to get to it. Has significantly better stats than the wind of freedom but weighs a fair bit more.
correction it is on the east boarder small little building with flat top roof single story but thank you greatly cause holy shit the armor is good
@@theodorehazel6920 Yup that's the one, sorry if my directions were a little unclear, but glad you found it!
Me after jumping through the school window in Duga straight after leaving the lesser zone for the SEVA I Armor "A yes these would also have been okey choices"
we need way more videos form this game
13:34 my dude standing in the doorway almost made me jump out of my seat
19:40 I watched all of your Stalker 2 videos but I dont remember which weapon is that???
7:35 is totally random spot, sadly. You had a lot of luck :)
The wind of freedom is supposed to be easier to get to but the pipe you need to walk up is slightly to tilted to walk up
There's a high capacity Viper-5 magazine out back of the Radiatio Hazard Sign Storage behind some breakable boxes
I’m assuming artifact drops are all randomized, I ended up getting the flash artifact instead of the berry at 7:31. Im honestly not sure I’m still new to the stalker franchise.
FYI artifacts are RNG totally random on what we get
Make a save before you go find it incase you don’t get the one you want
I’ve done this about 50 times now and I still haven’t gotten the legendary artifact it’s actually annoying as hell
Edit- finally got Thunderberry after 60 times I think
Your lucky man I’m still trying to get one :/
I'm one and a half day into farming that specific artifact, i got some medium rare ones but not even a single legendary😢
18:15 u can avoid the damage from the glass by crouching ^_~ only when u "fall" of objects or jump urself will u take damage ^^
Thanks, I found the bandit outfit not not going in the tunnel for the art effect.Thanks
Hey. Can you make a guide on getting cheap repairs? It's getting pretty expensive on hard mode
you can add mods via nexus mods and get a mod like this i already use one :D
I honestly think they need to rebalance it, currently you can use cheaper gear or swap out armor for certain situations.
I think it's going to be a mod, don't worry it's fine modding the game everyone does
Yeah.. i'm over on xbox so i'm just gonna have to eat the cost I guess and ditch my nice gear for now in the stash
@@redspartan9825we will get to use the mods soon. Just like on Arma reforger, Skyrim, fallout 4 etc. So far it's great on series X. Can't wait to see it a year from now and all the mods.
You should make walkthroughs as you go through the game
You can get the military armour from the lesser zone. From the military compound I dk if that’s the correct name.
Same with the skiff ptm suppressor. Can’t remember where I got this.
7:40 - The thunderberry is not a guaranteed drop, I had to reload 4 times until I got it.
If you crouch walk through the floating glass shards you can afford taking damage and bleeding effect
0:47 there's nothing stopping you 😂.... I mean the zone is a little bit. At least it's trying to
@ESO are these garbage side mission also still available after the kingpin mission since i broke the game now still having roosevelts PDA while the game says i finished that mission so ill go a save file back and first finish that ..
Silenced m4 in the zaton train station
Gotta mark that bro, ty
Suppressed *
Yesssssssssssssss bro there's an ak with a scope on top of a water tower in the lesser zone i came across on a i wonder if anything is up there moment it's been monumental in the early game im only like an hour 30 in
@ oh that’s sick ima go grab that
@@spicywienervlogs5791 u can get early if u side with that man, not the bandit.
Thunderberry does not spawn in that location in my game, I get something called Snowflake every time. Farmed it for a while.
8:10 I got the Snowflake artifact did I do something wrong?
I think its by chance because I got a RatKing
I will be posting best artifact video tomorrow, feel free to check it out.
I got moon light
Uhhh for the extended mag that "demon dog" is a cat bro 😂😂😂
Its great, thanks
16:40 Thank you so i known why i can open the password door on the top floor but can't go into the cutscene.
Took about 23 attempts to get the right artifact, not 100% chance to get the legendary so save before going into that tunnel!
i manage to find a green ak with a scope, its got a unique name like varik its good but i went exploring the edge of the lesser zone and found the VS vintar with a score, i use the VS instead because it comes with a build in suppressor, but the mag size is really poor and also it has some mad bullet drop, so in a way it sucks, but hey it still got a suppressor and a scope which is a win
The earliest exoskeleton you can get is at the chemical plant top right of the map right above the cement factory should be in a building I don't remember the exact location
18:13 Just walk slowly through the glass shards and they won't harm you
So, with the extended mag dog thats hard to kill, lead him to the nearby anomaly, sidestep the dog and put the anomoly between you two, he will jump into it and die, no ammo ammo needed
18:16 if you crouch in glass you don’t take any damage
3:34 "This demon dog right here" is a cat.
