20:30 - after all my hours of playing stalker anomaly I never knew you could put a pistol in the knife slot. I learn something new from watching your playthrough.
I wish there was a key for knife attacks, and that you could skin without needing the knife equipped. It's a pain to switch between a pistol and knife all the time.
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie yeah, that's a real pain I've noticed since I started having a pistol too. I'll check if there is a mod for being able to skin animals as long as you got a knife in the inventory..
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie I'm pretty sure V does a melee attack with your knife. But don't hold me to it cause it's been along time since I've played vanilla anomaly and I might be confusing it with another mod lol
Yeah, it was all those loud shotgun shots that were acting like a beacon for every mutant within hearing. There just happened to be a lot of them, and staying in one place meant they all eventually made their way to what they heard.
Man I already love this series. I was looking for an anomaly guide and gladly found this channel. Learning so much new stuff and actually starting to really getting into stalker again! Thx for this and lucky journey to all the stalkers :)
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie True! Although the crafting/repairing system is a bit confusing for beginners I think. Never really used it before watching your channel, but now it seems pretty helpful. Thx for that ✌️😎
[39:00] AEK-971 is one of the best assault rifles in the game. AEK-973 IS the best assault rifle in the game. But good luck finding one. I don't even know if it drops, which would make it impossible to get in a crafting challenge.
The mutants found out that the new Stalker is an Australian and just thought, "Finally, a worthy opponent. OUR BATTLE SHALL BE LEGENDARY!" and then dog piled on. :P
47:55 i know its a bit late for that... and i pause the video here to write this, but you stepped into a Whirlygig (you can jump out of them if you are about to get "mid air" and close to its border, with a bit of practive resulting in little to no damage) and they tend to either complitly destoy stuff or destroy and fling it to the other side of the map, or over its border into oblivion. Since im currios about if you got lucky imma go back to watching now Spoiler warning: he got realy lucky
It’s why I prefer gravity anomalies over elemental ones - you get a chance to recover 😆 It’s always kinda hilarious when they fling stuff around the map. Unless it’s something you really want. Then, not so funny.
Last game I played I turned off all spawns (I set them to ~ respawn all 6 Ingame Months) so if i killed something it was gone for good in a map unless the "offline" alife traveled to the map I was in. Applied to both stalkers and mutants. First few days where very action packed, and after a file it gets quite desolate, though this somehow did lead to me randomly encountering Monolith in the Swamps for example. Preferred that to constant action - the eerie silence actually made encounters that much more unexpected because you tend to be less on edge. But I do hate "stupid" old respawn mechanisms in games with a passion (that said, it's not a diss for the anomaly developers, more for the general "game" developers who sell their product). Like the mutants eat already (animation wise) - why not make it so a mutant that has "eaten" spawns some offspring a few ingame hours later. Stalkers could only enter from the edge of the map (e.g. cordon / swamps ...) - could also make this way more detailed (e.g. military could spawn deeper into the zone, e.g. because helicopters). Zombies could be produced from "death" stalkers bodies that lay around while a blowout / psy-storm happens (or from stalkers that got hit while being outside, but that is already in the game afaik - at least if you set the game up for it). If a zombie body (the shooting variant) is death it gets turned into a civilian zombie instead. Could go even further after that and turn the remains of civilian zombies into some other mutants (e.g. snorks, bloodsuckers, ...) to simulate the zone twisting organism in unnatural ways. Could go even further and introduce some sort of chance of "evolution" brought upon by blowouts / psy-storms - e.g. rats turning into tushkanos, normal blind dogs into the black variant or pseudo-dogs, etc
That sounds like a haunting experience, almost more akin to the 70’s movie. I relate the spawn plausibility to mutants migrating to areas off the edge of the map and making their way back. Stalkers are something similar. Rookie Loners bribe or manage to sneak past the military checkpoint, while geared outfits like Mercs have other ways inside. Then of course you have the notion that Stalkers may change factions once inside the Zone. What I’d love to see is a ‘traitor’ mechanic where other factions can disguise themselves as an opposing faction and infiltrate enemy ranks for maximum damage. You could even unknowingly take an enemy for a companion and they would wait until you were both alone and far from help before they made a move.
Is it safe to store your stuff in random chests around the zone? Can randomly receiving a stash coordinate for that chest delete all your loot inside it? Does your stuff stay there forever?
Your stuff is safe inside any stash container or backpack that you place. Loot can even respawn inside and not affect the items you put in there, so take advantage!
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie All PDA's make the blip, upgraded PDA's show the locations of npc close by from their PDA's and if they are friendly or enemy (green and red dots). The next time you approach an area you know to be populated, listen out for, blip, blip .... as each NPC comes into range, its not difficulty specific and you do not need the PDA to be open for it to do this, it just has to be in an equipment slot. You have to open the upgraded PDA to see the locations of the NPC or have the minimap on screen. I am not 100% sure it is implimented in this mod though, I have a suspicion it might be disabled, but the upgraded PDA showing NPC is functional, so dont quote me on this 😉 EDIT: It is actually called, PDA NPC detector beep in the game files.
hiding on the high ground flailing your AK at rats... So the zone takes another mind... Also, whenever I quickload in the cordon farmhouses, bandits will spawn in on top of everyone else that was there during the quicksave. The first time it happened it was funny. The second time was an important save and i had to reload over 12 times before i could make it out alive due to the condition of my character during the save (groks health overhaul with broken arm and leg....). Now I back into the farmhouse by the jailcell, reload my weapon, back against the wall, and save lmao
I’ve never heard of that before, that’s rough. I’ve noticed that the spawn system can be weird sometimes. We travelled to Zaton in a recent (unreleased as of yet) ep and a Burer was watching next to a tree near the spawn point. Creepy pasta.
One belongs in Stalker and the other doesn’t. 😁 The lurker is from the Metro series I believe. It’s basically a lite chimera. It looks more fearsome than it really is. Functionally, they both move in roughly the same way.
welp im back now time to see how many i watch over the next few days i had to take a break for a bit to not burnout as i watched 11 episodes in basically a couple of days with no break other than a little bit of my own gaming and some other videos when i was eating to not miss anything in these anyways im about to sleep as ive been up gaming the last 31 hours grinding on an mmo and over the last few days as well just watching random vids and gaming so its time to chill and watch a bunch more of these and take a break from other things once i wake up later tonight or tomorrow morning
Stay safe, Stalker. Hydration, food, and sleep are essential to surviving long expeditions into the Zone (regardless of whether you’re the participant or the observer 😉).
@@Blondefire_HeyBlondie i assumed that loading screen message was meant for both Stalkers and their real life counterparts (some of whom may also be stalkers)
31 hours is a long time, i hope you still take regular breaks so you dont end up with some kind of RSI or other health problems. You may feel fine now, but it will catch up with you sooner or later. Even just sitting too long without getting up and walking around and lead to serious problems over time. Stay safe man.
It’s the push-ups during loading screens that keep me active 💪 That and the constant nerve-pounding realization that the top of the food chain is something other than yourself and that you may never see death coming even though it’s viscous and hungry and thirsts for the salty ignominy inflicted upon you. #Zonelife
You'd kill shit a lot faster (and from further away) if you ADS that shotgun. Dispersion is an order of magnitude worse firing from the hip - the only pellets that deal damage are the pellets that land on target.

There should have been a PDA communication on your HUD -

I’ll check the next time I record. I don’t recall seeing info for an auto-attack but hey, we’re all learning as we go :D
The monster mayhem in the swamp is why my silenced shotgun is now my favorite weapon in the game.
I love a silenced Saiga, there's something satisfying about the sound and feel of it.

Gonna keep an eye out for it now.
Love how the first 15 minutes was a just a bloodbath lol

Honestly some of my favorite parts watching ypu go doom mode lol
Greatest start to a video... so many mutants lol
Not the last time we call down every mutant in the Zone 😂

Well that went from 0 to 100 real fast.
That describes most of the memorable moments in Anomaly 😂
Pro tip :- When approaching an area if there are NPC there your PDA will make a blip for each NPC that comes into its range.
Are these NPC’s that normally appear on the PDA map, and do you know if it’s difficulty-specific? I haven’t noticed this feature in vanilla.

They weight a LOT and they ain't that valuable.

If you sell the mutant parts to the butcher you will swim in cash in no time. Sold a bunch of parts to him for almost 30k.
