Travelling across military controlled swamp as a loner, using disguise system (highly damaged soldiers outfit) to reach the Clear Sky base to do some shopping (I have an addon that gives Traders semi unique inventory), only for the clear sky base to be invaded by soldiers on my way out, after a moment of intense shootout every clear sky member gets murdered and i climb up some roof to hide untill they leave (ironman btw), eventually everything calms down and i hear guitar and laughter, i take a quick peek on whats going out and it turns out that the soldiers are now gone and Clear Sky base is fully controlled by ecologists, clear sky seemingly wiped out of existence. Now i have to get back to Rostok through military controlled great swamps and cordon, which seems like a difficult task... anyway... my point is that i cant recall any other game that can create such moments
Had an absolute blast on Warfare, played as a Soldier starting in the Cordon, made my stand in the Rookie Village, and won over the region rather quickly. When I moved to the Garbage, it was harder, obviously. But because of the sparse populations of loners and bandits, the takeover was smooth. Agroprom and Darkscape fell fast, with our main base already being in Agroprom, and the Darkscape being relatively abandoned, excluding the occasional mutant, or loner/bandit. Rostok and Wild Territory were hard-fought battles, with Loners being the primary antagonist. I was pretty much alone in that fight, and had to clear the entire bar. Next…? Next, was something I wasn’t prepared for… Our FOB Had been deployed in Rostok, with a relatively strong military/duty presence remaining there. But every day, we received Raids from the North, from the Army Warehouses… Seas of White and Brown adorning the Monolith Sigil constantly battered against us. With our defenses holding, time and again. I had deployed two veteran squads, alongside myself to investigate the Region, but even that was not enough. With us entering the new region, we were quickly greeted by a Company’s worth of Monolith Grunts. Half my group was killed in the defense. The other half, and I- foolishly trudged on to take the main base there… A skeleton crew of Freedom remained, with several loners, and ecologists remaining. We quickly secured the area, only to realize that we had trapped ourselves… The cultist-horde was quickly upon us, and with no way out, except through- we committed ourselves to holding the line for as long as we could. Some reinforcements came, but they were cut down as quickly as they arrived. Even the greenest Monolith recruit held an AN-94, or a M4A1. Some even had RPG’s, blasting away at our groupings. It was Sunset, when the siege began… It ended when Dawn came, with our defenses cracking, and dozens of them finally crossing the bridge, ignoring the piles of others who had tried before them… My rifle was broke, and spent, my armor was cracked and destroyed. All I had left was a shoddy FN-2000 I snagged from a corpse that jammed every other time it fired, and a pernach, with a handful of +P Rounds, with Backup- likely never arriving… I managed to take Twenty-seven of them with me, ignoring the innumerable others I had killed in the defense… My rifle had finally broken during my final stand, and as one of the men I had struck down fell… An RPK Was released from his hands. With only a handful of rounds, I finished off three of them, with another two coming from my Pistol, as I was struck down by a long-distance shot…
It is awesome to have a TH-camr who is focused on Anomaly mod and provides related tips videos! As much as I like new Anomaly features, I felt lazy to learn all the new stuff and I wanted to know as much as I could before starting my first playthrough. :)
a really balanced and fun way to play warfare is with all out war and random starting locations enabled, this will give every faction the same start in each of the maps and as time goes on you may see cordon owned by monolith and cnpp owned by ecologists, remember to tweak the games settings to your liking and something balanced and set enemy bonus resource to 0 otherwise monolith will plow through every single faction with death squads armed to the teeth with 4-8 guys spawning in every crevice every 10-20 seconds
Cheeki Breeki I also had to reinstall anomaly on my computer after a blue screen, though now the ModDb page for it doesn’t fully download the textures file, I’ve seen others with this problem but don’t have a fix, any ideas?
Heads up: everyone vs everyone is an optional setting, you can also have only enemy factions fighting each other, or have dynamic relations, with wars starting and ending
@@CheekiBreekiTv I heard ray of hope was supposed to be released on Feb.30... and I was happy, i saw the ray of hope. Then I saw that Feb will have 29 days in it next year and I was saddened. Such is life in the zone.
Boi i fucking love you i never noticed how deeply in particular u got into this... God Bless you Cheeki and may the sun shine upon you. Thank you for your knowledge
Fun tidbit, factions will rarely ever capture territory, you gotta adjust the slider for it in the settings. Also pretty nifty tutorial, I have 30hrs on anomaly and a lot of things mentioned here I didn't know
@Novo Ime you go into options, the zone(?) Warfare and select a faction, the slider is halfway down, the default value is -5 set it to 1 or 2 and click apply all so you don't have to set each one. Also, by enabling territory capture, mutant spawns will decrease as factions claim more territory, they won't capture lairs though.
Wow! You are one of the best sources I've found so far looking for reliable information about this standalone. Thanks for the great content and keep up the great work. One more subscriber!
I was playing warfare as a bandit and I started in Dark Valley. I didn't even leave the area for the first in game day just because there was so much going on. The first hour of gameplay was relatively normal, but after that an almost constant stream of enemy groups kept approaching the bandit base. Eventually it became mostly occupied by mercenaries and freedom.
Somehow I can't capture points on my own, it only works when I send a squad of stalkers there 😢 what am I doing wrong? Like, I mouse over the capture point and it won't even tell me how much time left I gotta wait for the capture e.e
Hey Cheekie, see those grey bubbles for the unclaimed territories/area? can you turn off fast travel to ones that havent been discovered yet, ive tried every setting but i can still just fast travel right into the enemies base
I havn't played warfare in a longggg time, I think some things changed since that video! I need to update it at some point, I know there's some mods specifically designed for warfare that could be nice to cover here.
you can see it in this video here and there, one of the lesser advertised features of warfare mode, stuttering. The swamps aren't so bad, but zombie spawns are broken as a participant in faction wars or not. It's unfortunate, tolerable in swamps but I can only ignore it so much. There's too much for the engine to do, and even supercomputers are gunna hitch just cause it's not the hardware that's incapable of doing these things, its the game, or they are just done wrong. The notifications, the npc looting, and certain things like heles and blowouts that send every unit on the map to locations, screws up the game. I feel like warfare should be an entirely separate game download, to cut assets, and released as a bare minimum with addon support.
I really struggle to find any written info about Anomaly in particular. Some of the wiki's for the other mods and games are still relevant but it's not easy. Where do you guys go for information? Apart from Mr Cheeki Breeki of course :)
There's not much info around, that's mainly why I started doing these tutorials it was frustrating not to find anything online. You can always try the stalker sub-reddit if you have any questions!
warfare is very very stuttering. i was in rostok and monolith attacked and my frames went down to 10 fps. even wothout that , the microstutter when moving through the land is annoying aswell. story mode runs alot better. i guess its the many ai spawning and running around if u have some tips how to reduce the ai spawn it would be great.
definitely tweak the warfare settings to your likings in the options menu, standard warfare every faction has +5 bonus resources meaning they will always kick your teams ass, i have no clue why its enabled since captured territory quickly gets retaken when you leave, its known as the monolith wave because monolith will spawn in every crevice and corner with groups of 4-8 death squads armed with the most top tier equipment and plow through every single territory you own and decimate every faction with no qualms. you may be able to single handly take on hundreds of them but you will run out of ammo and be surrounded on day 3 because they breed like mice...
Hello, I don't have circles in map, with different factions and capturable zones. Only icons with green houses, allied squads and merchants, blue icons
I don't have any of those icons on my map and many of the context menu's shown here are not in my game. All I see on the PDA is some colored dots and the only thing I can do is add a squad to follow me. I've captured one place and my fellow Monolith NPC's moved in, but we've been here for weeks and only 2 small squads have spawned. I took control of faction but nothing changed. Playing 1.5 + hotfix.
I hope when they release the new stalker they have taken the mods into consideration and it has all the inventory items etc, stalker is amazing but going back and playing the vanilla games after the coc/misery/last day, anomaly mods they feel very empty with regards to the inventory
Amazing video and channel but i'm struggling a lot here; do you know the proper or best way to make money in Warfare? I tried selling weapon and mutant parts, didn't made as much and I restarted several times because of debt.
Not sure there's a good making money strategy in Warfare that's different than the regular game, or at least I ddin't find it yet. There's more fighting so you defintely loot more stuff, but besides that...
I was having this same problem. Go to the warfare tab under "the zone" in settings and change the "support reward money" or "enemy rank weight". Just do 1 or 2 or else you're gonna get heavy pockets after getting 400k from one dude 😂 Personally I feel like this gives more incentive to do what I wanted to do anyways, although I will admit I feel it's a bit op at 500 and 1 for the rank mod Maybe try dropping the base pay a bit or turning off the rank mod and raising it instead?
Thanks man that was useful. I want to try Warfare on Anomaly because in CoC it doesn't have the options to buy squads and the like. I can't find anything on it anywhere.
Warfare looks like it's really, really well done. You say it's 'a bit buggy' but from the video it just looks like the bugs are from STALKER's notoriously stupid AI. At least that's the impression I got.
@@CheekiBreekiTv it Took about 20 mins or so to spawn a trader at butchers Location which promptly left for agroprom :( anyway is it normal that i can Not capture points alone? The timer Just resets unless i am with a squad
I've read somewhere that 1.5 has an offline combat simulator, did the original warfare had that, or the Anomaly Dev. Team ported the one used in the Stason174 version?
I would like a follow-up video from this. Whenever i play warfare mode its always a new circumstance of losing control and theyll end up at my front doorstep. For instance, i base at rostok as duty, i have monolith up north but they have an invading force from the door to Wild territory, doing a left flank. If i go to wild territory they wont be there, just loners and ecologists guarding. if im at rostok theyll invade from wild territory, if that makes any sense Theres never a guide on warfare mode, besides the instructions. Its kinda a shame because i like fighting in a cpu squad, but ill never have enough gear to fight and then ill end up in a repelling struggle
Anybody ever try playing Warfare mode and just playing Anomaly normally while the battles rage on? I'm assuming it doesn't really work, but I'm interested in trying anyway.
It's funny how broken it is. I was in the bar and Monolith spawned in the middle with i think 20 or 30 maniacs and my fps went to like 2. Playing on Hard Insta die then reload an earlier save only to have them still fighting. This mode doesn't seem to follow any common sense of battle lines or progression. The enemy is random and just teleports basically anywhere on the map. Monolith as well, is too op and breaks any fun when they are almost bullet sponges. I had hoped the mod makers didn't have the same shit Misery style AI and save bugs and could have fixed those things. :/
Yup, no room for map strategy. Once, I held Rostok and tried to attack Army Warehouses alone. Completely wiped Monolith from the Army Warehouses, only to find that when I returned to Rostok it became swarmed with Monolith and we had lost it. So basically Monolith had somehow spawned behind me despite me completely controlling and wiping them out from the only access point that they could've attacked Rostok through. Yea, makes sense... Back to story mode for me. Warfare has potential but the bullshit nonsense offline combat algorithm makes 0 sense and ruins it.
If you are military the weapons and equipment trader tells you that he only offer transports to not ordinary soldiers, does that mean if our rep is good enough that we can buy air transport ?
When I play Warfare it always crashes at random places then it becomes unplayable, please help me. My mods are: JSRS Sound Mod Anomaly HD Models Boomsticks and Sharpsticks Food & Drink Animations Anomaly Magazines Grok's Body Health System Redux Cinematic VFX 3.5
How do i nerf the military and monolith? I nerfed them via expansion aggression but it's not enough. I also made offline power stronger for the other factions but it isnt enough
Lol I'm glad I just watched this. I had no idea what "warfare" was when I was starting my new game, but it sounded cool so I enabled it. In hindsight I don't think it's exactly what I wanted, but I'm several hours into this character and I don't think you can turn warfare off...? If so please tell me how lol
No it's a separate game mod, it has nothing to do with the regular "story" mode. Personally I play both, when I'm bored with storymode I jump to my warfare save etc...
@@CheekiBreekiTv Yeah I might have to do that then. I got really annoyed at warfare because I did this mission for a guy, and came back to get my reward, and the base was under attack and it seems inevitable that the guy dies before I can talk to him and then I get a rep hit lol. Like I said, I didn't really know what I was signing up to ^^
@@tommeakin1732 Yeah I generally don't do missions for random stalkers as them dying is pretty frequent. I generally wait to control a "big base" where traders spawn, have a couple outpost controlled around it to make sure it's well defended, maybe also spawn a couple squads in it to make sure it's secure, then do some missions!
@@CheekiBreekiTv I got the mission from a guy in rostok but I didn't secure the whole map haha. Well at least I'm learning now...! Cheers for the replies my dude
They do have a mod that can make it compatible with story mode. I still haven’t gotten very far, but I’m having fun with it. Don’t try to mix mods with that specific one. It’s a headache.
I had a time where i was in a firefight against monolith, and since loners are neutral with monolith they were walking in the crossfire. When one of the loners died to the monolith the other loner got him with a Mauser rifle. Doesnt really answer your question, but you can make factions beef with other factions given the silly circumstances
salut , j'ai entendu a l'accent que tu étais francais :) alors voila j'ai un soucis avec a anomaly en mode warfare c'est en russe! alors que le mode "histoire" est en anglais saurais tu comment arranger sa ? merci d'avance
oh my god, didint kown you coud give orders!!!! i been in a heve firefight for the cordon, we kick the bandit out but now the military is fighting for the control and wen are lossing, we (loner stalkers) have lost several important points even the novice village!!! tonight we will retake the cordon!!!!
I have been playing for a while as a Merc and i don't know of this is true or not but Everytime a psy storm happens all my squads without shelter become Monolith. I killed every one of them before, i was just making money and preparing to kill the one Bandit camp left and after the storm Monoloth was at the middle of the map whit 12 squads
Psy-storms convert unprotected stalkers to zombified ones (so Monolith faction basically) so it would make sense. I know that in regular gameplay in the options you can decide what psy storms do to stalkers (nothing/kill/zombify). You should check if the option is available in warfare!
Yeah, i checked my contact tab and zombies are completely dead, perhaps now is defaulting to Monolith. I'll change the settings but i'll try to do a Monolith run hoping i can understand more how they work, because even whit heavy equipment and that much manpower they would have atleast slowed down by now. I have taken Pripyat completely and after two minutes of being in Jupiter, it was already overrun
@@CheekiBreekiTv when i played that faction i already lost rookie village from military. Spent the whole night using a dead guy's shotgun buckshotting military. Any chance you can do a guide for warfare mode? Because i can never have a base of operations without it getting breached by an invading force
I've been playing warfare for an hour or so and I can't find any traders. Do you have to survive off found ammo? Nevermind, all I had to do was leave the base and return for traders to spawn in :p
When you control areas where there are traders in the regular game (Clearsky base in swamps, rostok... and some new places also) and you have enough points controlled in that area, traders will spawn (generally :D)
@@CheekiBreekiTv oh man you actually replied to this lol, please consider to start another playthrough i've been bored with this covid isolation and also kinda miss those sweet accent tbh lol

Travelling across military controlled swamp as a loner, using disguise system (highly damaged soldiers outfit) to reach the Clear Sky base to do some shopping (I have an addon that gives Traders semi unique inventory), only for the clear sky base to be invaded by soldiers on my way out, after a moment of intense shootout every clear sky member gets murdered and i climb up some roof to hide untill they leave (ironman btw), eventually everything calms down and i hear guitar and laughter, i take a quick peek on whats going out and it turns out that the soldiers are now gone and Clear Sky base is fully controlled by ecologists, clear sky seemingly wiped out of existence.

Had an absolute blast on Warfare, played as a Soldier starting in the Cordon, made my stand in the Rookie Village, and won over the region rather quickly.
When I moved to the Garbage, it was harder, obviously. But because of the sparse populations of loners and bandits, the takeover was smooth.

Rostok and Wild Territory were hard-fought battles, with Loners being the primary antagonist. I was pretty much alone in that fight, and had to clear the entire bar.
Next…? Next, was something I wasn’t prepared for…
Our FOB Had been deployed in Rostok, with a relatively strong military/duty presence remaining there. But every day, we received Raids from the North, from the Army Warehouses… Seas of White and Brown adorning the Monolith Sigil constantly battered against us. With our defenses holding, time and again.
I had deployed two veteran squads, alongside myself to investigate the Region, but even that was not enough. With us entering the new region, we were quickly greeted by a Company’s worth of Monolith Grunts. Half my group was killed in the defense. The other half, and I- foolishly trudged on to take the main base there…
A skeleton crew of Freedom remained, with several loners, and ecologists remaining. We quickly secured the area, only to realize that we had trapped ourselves…
The cultist-horde was quickly upon us, and with no way out, except through- we committed ourselves to holding the line for as long as we could.
Some reinforcements came, but they were cut down as quickly as they arrived. Even the greenest Monolith recruit held an AN-94, or a M4A1. Some even had RPG’s, blasting away at our groupings.
It was Sunset, when the siege began… It ended when Dawn came, with our defenses cracking, and dozens of them finally crossing the bridge, ignoring the piles of others who had tried before them…
My rifle was broke, and spent, my armor was cracked and destroyed. All I had left was a shoddy FN-2000 I snagged from a corpse that jammed every other time it fired, and a pernach, with a handful of +P Rounds, with Backup- likely never arriving…
I managed to take Twenty-seven of them with me, ignoring the innumerable others I had killed in the defense…
My rifle had finally broken during my final stand, and as one of the men I had struck down fell… An RPK Was released from his hands.

Amazing video and channel but i'm struggling a lot here; do you know the proper or best way to make money in Warfare? I tried selling weapon and mutant parts, didn't made as much and I restarted several times because of debt.
Not sure there's a good making money strategy in Warfare that's different than the regular game, or at least I ddin't find it yet. There's more fighting so you defintely loot more stuff, but besides that...
I was having this same problem. Go to the warfare tab under "the zone" in settings and change the "support reward money" or "enemy rank weight". Just do 1 or 2 or else you're gonna get heavy pockets after getting 400k from one dude 😂
Personally I feel like this gives more incentive to do what I wanted to do anyways, although I will admit I feel it's a bit op at 500 and 1 for the rank mod
Maybe try dropping the base pay a bit or turning off the rank mod and raising it instead?
what is "add influence"
good question
Thanks man that was useful. I want to try Warfare on Anomaly because in CoC it doesn't have the options to buy squads and the like. I can't find anything on it anywhere.
Thanks.
What aug mod is that at 2:08
Warfare looks like it's really, really well done. You say it's 'a bit buggy' but from the video it just looks like the bugs are from STALKER's notoriously stupid AI. At least that's the impression I got.
What is the PDA button in keyboard
thanks, i thought the red circle meant there are going to be attack from enemy not from your own faction
How Long does it usually take to Spawn a Trader in a Base? I got all bases in garbage and still no Trader anywhere
Not 100% sure but it's fairly quick. Maybe it's simply because there's no valid base in Garbage (I'm wondering I'm really not sure)
@@CheekiBreekiTv it Took about 20 mins or so to spawn a trader at butchers Location which promptly left for agroprom :( anyway is it normal that i can Not capture points alone? The timer Just resets unless i am with a squad
@@tim9735 reload your save its pretty buggy and tends to break often
I've read somewhere that 1.5 has an offline combat simulator, did the original warfare had that, or the Anomaly Dev. Team ported the one used in the Stason174 version?
Yes there is offline combat sim, you can toggle it on/off in the options if I remember well.
How do i stop duty and freedom from fighting each other?
I would like a follow-up video from this. Whenever i play warfare mode its always a new circumstance of losing control and theyll end up at my front doorstep. For instance, i base at rostok as duty, i have monolith up north but they have an invading force from the door to Wild territory, doing a left flank. If i go to wild territory they wont be there, just loners and ecologists guarding. if im at rostok theyll invade from wild territory, if that makes any sense
Theres never a guide on warfare mode, besides the instructions. Its kinda a shame because i like fighting in a cpu squad, but ill never have enough gear to fight and then ill end up in a repelling struggle
I was searching for some info but I can't find it, so I'mgonna ask here: is AI able to "auto-capture" bases too, or is it just a player thing?
i love this gamemode
how many times did you game crash making this
quick question are you using a mod to show the faction icons on the map? they don't show up on the map for me
Anybody ever try playing Warfare mode and just playing Anomaly normally while the battles rage on? I'm assuming it doesn't really work, but I'm interested in trying anyway.
basically stalker's faction warfare system is FPS RTS game lol
Do resource nodes apply benefits regionally or globally?
It's funny how broken it is. I was in the bar and Monolith spawned in the middle with i think 20 or 30 maniacs and my fps went to like 2. Playing on Hard Insta die then reload an earlier save only to have them still fighting. This mode doesn't seem to follow any common sense of battle lines or progression. The enemy is random and just teleports basically anywhere on the map. Monolith as well, is too op and breaks any fun when they are almost bullet sponges. I had hoped the mod makers didn't have the same shit Misery style AI and save bugs and could have fixed those things. :/
Yup, no room for map strategy. Once, I held Rostok and tried to attack Army Warehouses alone. Completely wiped Monolith from the Army Warehouses, only to find that when I returned to Rostok it became swarmed with Monolith and we had lost it. So basically Monolith had somehow spawned behind me despite me completely controlling and wiping them out from the only access point that they could've attacked Rostok through. Yea, makes sense...
Back to story mode for me. Warfare has potential but the bullshit nonsense offline combat algorithm makes 0 sense and ruins it.
How to turn on the Dynamic expansion system?
If you are military the weapons and equipment trader tells you that he only offer transports to not ordinary soldiers, does that mean if our rep is good enough that we can buy air transport ?
Any chance you're gonna return to doing another ironman series with your new mic? Thanks!
Yes the ironman series is not over, next video should be out on Friday (got swamped with work and no time to do any editing these days!)
Im getting hit on all sides and they killed my technician what can i do? im a merc.
just shout Anuuu cheeki breeki and do some side steps?
When I play Warfare it always crashes at random places then it becomes unplayable, please help me.
My mods are:
JSRS Sound Mod
Anomaly HD Models
Boomsticks and Sharpsticks
Food & Drink Animations
Anomaly Magazines
Grok's Body Health System Redux
Cinematic VFX 3.5
How do i nerf the military and monolith? I nerfed them via expansion aggression but it's not enough. I also made offline power stronger for the other factions but it isnt enough
Lol I'm glad I just watched this. I had no idea what "warfare" was when I was starting my new game, but it sounded cool so I enabled it. In hindsight I don't think it's exactly what I wanted, but I'm several hours into this character and I don't think you can turn warfare off...? If so please tell me how lol
No it's a separate game mod, it has nothing to do with the regular "story" mode. Personally I play both, when I'm bored with storymode I jump to my warfare save etc...
@@CheekiBreekiTv Yeah I might have to do that then. I got really annoyed at warfare because I did this mission for a guy, and came back to get my reward, and the base was under attack and it seems inevitable that the guy dies before I can talk to him and then I get a rep hit lol. Like I said, I didn't really know what I was signing up to ^^
@@tommeakin1732 Yeah I generally don't do missions for random stalkers as them dying is pretty frequent. I generally wait to control a "big base" where traders spawn, have a couple outpost controlled around it to make sure it's well defended, maybe also spawn a couple squads in it to make sure it's secure, then do some missions!
@@CheekiBreekiTv I got the mission from a guy in rostok but I didn't secure the whole map haha. Well at least I'm learning now...! Cheers for the replies my dude
They do have a mod that can make it compatible with story mode. I still haven’t gotten very far, but I’m having fun with it. Don’t try to mix mods with that specific one. It’s a headache.
Is it possible to make other factions allies? For example if I was part of Loners and wanted to be friends with Freedomers is that possible?
The goal being that one faction "wins" by taking control of everything I would say no
I had a time where i was in a firefight against monolith, and since loners are neutral with monolith they were walking in the crossfire. When one of the loners died to the monolith the other loner got him with a Mauser rifle. Doesnt really answer your question, but you can make factions beef with other factions given the silly circumstances
salut , j'ai entendu a l'accent que tu étais francais :) alors voila j'ai un soucis avec a anomaly en mode warfare c'est en russe! alors que le mode "histoire" est en anglais saurais tu comment arranger sa ? merci d'avance
oh my god, didint kown you coud give orders!!!! i been in a heve firefight for the cordon, we kick the bandit out but now the military is fighting for the control and wen are lossing, we (loner stalkers) have lost several important points even the novice village!!! tonight we will retake the cordon!!!!
I have been playing for a while as a Merc and i don't know of this is true or not but Everytime a psy storm happens all my squads without shelter become Monolith.
I killed every one of them before, i was just making money and preparing to kill the one Bandit camp left and after the storm Monoloth was at the middle of the map whit 12 squads
Psy-storms convert unprotected stalkers to zombified ones (so Monolith faction basically) so it would make sense. I know that in regular gameplay in the options you can decide what psy storms do to stalkers (nothing/kill/zombify). You should check if the option is available in warfare!
Yeah, i checked my contact tab and zombies are completely dead, perhaps now is defaulting to Monolith.
I'll change the settings but i'll try to do a Monolith run hoping i can understand more how they work, because even whit heavy equipment and that much manpower they would have atleast slowed down by now.
I have taken Pripyat completely and after two minutes of being in Jupiter, it was already overrun
Merci pour ce tuto (ton accent anglais me fait penser que tu comprendras mon commentaire 🙄😆
ahahah oui :)
which faction do you recommend when you're just starting out and looking for some action right away?
I'm a Loner at heart so that's always the faction I'll recommend :) And its a pretty balanced start.
@@CheekiBreekiTv when i played that faction i already lost rookie village from military. Spent the whole night using a dead guy's shotgun buckshotting military. Any chance you can do a guide for warfare mode? Because i can never have a base of operations without it getting breached by an invading force
It felt way better in Clear Sky
I've been playing warfare for an hour or so and I can't find any traders. Do you have to survive off found ammo?
Nevermind, all I had to do was leave the base and return for traders to spawn in :p
When you control areas where there are traders in the regular game (Clearsky base in swamps, rostok... and some new places also) and you have enough points controlled in that area, traders will spawn (generally :D)
Thanks so much for getting back to me CB. You are a scholar and a gentleman.
@@samjmarsay No worries mate, good luck!
Does anyone have a solution to losing territory when reloading saves? found it to be kindof gamebreaking and i really want to find a solution!
is there any mutants spawn on this mode?
I'm pretty sure you can use the console / debug menu and spawn whatever you wish yes!
@@CheekiBreekiTv oh man you actually replied to this lol, please consider to start another playthrough i've been bored with this covid isolation and also kinda miss those sweet accent tbh lol
Merci :3
