I only play as Loner and never max difficulty I'm just not that good. It's just incredible what all the modders have achieved and then to have it packaged so cleanly with an installer - we are very lucky gamers to have such a community.
That symbol next to the rad symbol means there is an artifact in your detector range I think. Your grass settings were probably changed from the update so you have to change the grass rendering distance to fix the pop ins
As an experienced GAMMA player you are FAR FAR overdue for an Invictus, Ironman, or Murky Spirit run! I have been dying for you to do one, I have waited so long and just check your channel every other week if I'm not actively already watching. I have thousands of hours in anomaly and I refuse to play any other way, it's so much fun dude. After many many attempts, I have finally completed a full legit Invictus run. Happy Hunting brother!
@@dotknifecest Murky spirit is the achievement for beating the main story on ironman, basically Invictus light if you don't like something in the default harder settings or want to use debug for a custom start/ fix a bug mid run.
@@dotknifecest Same thing as Invictus except you can die (no more than) twice instead of once while in ironman mode. It's an actual achievement in the PDA
Bro its SOOOO good. I have 50 hrs in not a SINGLE crash. Im lovin it. Also the render distance is bugged atm according to the Discord mods. Its broken even re-installing Aydin's grass tweaks and the lods. Also heard you say you can sell a "deck of cards" but cards AND magazines can now be used to "pass time" if you need it to be day time or night time for a mission etc. Grab all the guns you can with a barrell above %60. Then you DONT need the C and D repair kits. Just put all the parts above %60 in and buy the C and D cleaning kits from the mechanics, right click, maintain parts. Boom. I have lots of fully repaired C and D guns while still only having the basic repair kit cuz i cheese this method. One last tip. Scopes no longer work with NVG's. They were nerfed so the night scopes get usage so if you want to snipe at night buying a night vision scope is your only option now
Thanks for these tips. I'll do my best to remember them all. Just DLed Anomaly 1.5.3 & Gamma Launcher 6.7 to FINALLY update from 6.2.7. I'm curious to see all the changes since I installed that last July. That'll be a bit delayed still as I'm currently fully enthralled with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 (and PoE2 just launched into EA), but especially so now that I've hand selected 19 mods to fine tune my experience. Happy trails, Stalker. ☢
@@damiandelafuente3020 No. The grass is ALL from Aydin's grass tweaks but you need the lods too. To fix this you would normally just re-install that mod and its lods but currently they are not working properly so you just need to wait for a fix
The thing i like most about this update is the artifact crafting. Before i really didn't bother much with it because it felt so convoluted and you needed 50 different artifacts to craft a single one at low efficency, now its a lot more fun coupled with mutant parts being actually useful. I also like the change to mutant pelts, can actually get usable efficency ones now instead of perpetual 1-10% ones. Good seeing you back on GAMMA ! :)
The only thing that I don't like is pelts not being stackable. I mean, you already have benefits when using artifacts by increasing your resistances cap, so I don't see a reason to not be able to equip more than one pelt. They are really good early game items, as opposed to high tier artifacts that you are supposed to get grinding later in the game.
@@JNitroxx The pelts are incredibly strong as they got buffed this patch too. They have no debuff stats on them either, Grok wanted there to be more of a balancing act with equiping artifacts and a single pelt to offset negatives they might give. I think its more balanced, considering you can get high efficency pelts pretty easily now, whereas before they'd be perpetually on 1-10% unless you save scum reload a billion times
@@mrmatejator It depends on the version you were prior, if its before 0.9 it might be unsalvagable (don't quote me on that tho, i always just do a new run on updates but there's been so many changes its likely that something will just be messed up). If you're on at least 0.9 it should work fine, you'll have to sleep a couple times or remove squads with debug mode cause some weapons have been removed so you'll be crashing if there are any squads with those weapons still around
I've been watching your videos non stop (since I just subscribed). You're great and make me laugh all the time when you play stalker. Thank you for sometimes help me to decompress after a intense day at work!!!
My favorite stalker streamer is back in gamma!! I did watch you're S2 video just because i want to save the story for myself the first time. Have a great day!
Zone blessing you with that Streamer Loot 😄 I do like that in Gamma those early find guns don't allow you to trivialise the work of surviving and you still need to grind to get them all fixed up before you can truly capitalise on your good fortune
@@megablasta8062 Ya...really hope he went back for that lol thas like almost tragic. Im pretty sure he left a glock hornet too but i could be wrong on that one
There is a mod called Reputation Editor. As the name suggests, you can use it to change the relationships between entire factions. It works and integrates wonderfully into the game, so you don't just fight against the bandits, but also other freedomers. I mostly use it to make bandits hostile when I play mercs, because loners become neutral after the brain scorcher is turned off and it gets too boring when you are allied with most of the factions and having one less faction to worry about is a perfect reward for reaching the mid game.
I don't watch you often at all but it's cool seeing you comfortably playing on hard now when i was there commenting tips on gamma the first time you played it knowing that today i never played in hard yet
I knew this overhaul had a lot of mods but I never would have guessed the number was that crazy high. I've been watching a lot of lets plays of GAMMA, it looks amazing.
Let’s gooooo !!!!!! I’m halfway through your Gamma Zero to Hero series and LOVING it. I just started a new playthrough with the new update! This game is so damn good. I can’t wait til Stalker 2 catches up!
it is wild to see GAMMA after being so absorbed into Stalker 2. just visually and everything it makes me feel off, especially with your starting in the army warehouses
Yeah kinda crazy once you get used to S2's graphics, obviously you can pump Anomaly with gfx mods but it still can't compare. Thankfully gameplay is king.
We NEED a playthrough uploaded in atleast an hour long i love your commentary and pacing of gamma can't wait for more def my fav stalker gamma channel to watch
Freedom is my usual group to play with. You can usually cross through the edge of Rostok to get to Wild Territory to get to the scientists and from there to garbage and cordon/swamps if you need. I dont typically hang with the bandits on my playthroughs, I just walk through their area, dont even trade. But you dont even need to go there if you dont want.
@@syltis1994 Its also to get ot the scientist bunker, cause you'll get that deadly Psy going from dead city to Yantar if you dont have the cap. It's a -little- tedious, but also getting the cheap ammo for .45 and better mutant part prices with Butcher can be worth it. Also, with Wild Territory, just hang left after you've made it through the sniper spot, go through the warehouse with the stingy moss and by the mercs at construction.
11:23 YES! I’m glad someone said it. I got to just after the SIRCAA part in Stalker 2 and was having such a bad experience with spawn issues and terrible gunfights with mutants and other stalkers that I just said “Fuck it. GAMMA just had an update. I’ll reinstall that.” LOL Don’t get me wrong, I love stalker 2, but I think the only things it has on gamma is that it is visually more appealing and I like how they handled anomalies better.
Imma Keep It A Buck With You, I Usually Never Comment On You're Stalker Videos. But Today I Will Say I'm Hella Excited To Watch This Freedom Grind. Especially With You Grinding In Gamma. I Look Forward To Watching More Of These Qloud.
im with you on your take with stalker 2 except one point: it has been announced soo long ago and they popstponed the release over and over again. i was glad they did it because i wanted it to be good. except, its not. without a-life its not stalker. i like the game, dont get me wrong, but it just doesnt feel like its a worthy successor YET. ill download gamma because of you again tho
Preach brother, and they didnt even bothered to make a fuckin gas mask overlay... I mean, i didnt want that time consuming loot hoarding, crafting, complicated parts and fixing system all that, well maybe some basic crafting would be cool, but dude... Not even a sleeping bag ? No binoculars, NVG's, mask overlay ? Literally 0 loot variety, not being able to repair anything on your own ? Man... I gotta say this game is lazy as hell, feels like they focused on graphics and the rest is loosly tied together...
@wejustsawmanfly stalker games never was about all that stuff although binoculars, nvgs were always in there. It's about atmosphere, all the little side quests which i think they nailed. Modders rarely can be writers so they had to innovate some of the gameplay to make up for the luck of interesting stories happening in the zone. And that in turn what took all the attention for more recent "stalkers"
Even after EVERYONE was saying this will NOT be gamma 2? It will be true to the originals although they DID scuff that as well by not even adding nvgs, binoculars, etc..
Then you not a stalker fan lmao. If you need 500+ mods to enjoy this series then you never enjoyed it to begin with. Stalker 2 will obviously be based on the OGs with its main focus on setting and atmosphere, which is what the OGs are known for. You’re setting yourself up for failure if you’ve only played GAMMA/Anomaly
I played a lot of the original trilogy, but never Gamma, so I plan to play it after I finish STALKER 2. Happy to see Freedom video, because for some reason I cant find any Freedom playthrough on YT lol most of videos I found were Loners videos.
I'd love to see you complete the anomaly storyline, I've never been able to complete it myself and it'd be cool to see how it compares to Stalker 2's story :)
There are actually walls, foundations, etc available to craft in the newest patch. You can in fact build an entire hideout new. Haven't gotten around to testing it out yet!
not sure whats all changed in gamma but you can fix some guns with green barrels by buying the cleaning kits from mechanics (not the repair kits obv) that val can be fixed and usable if you can get the right replacement parts and dropping them in the gun and right click "maintain parts" and ammo, again depending on what has changed in the new patch ;)
As for the LoDs pop-in, what fixed it for me was reinstalling a compatibility patch for SSS. During installation a window pops up asking you to select patches, choose every single one that doesn't say OPTIONAL, and UNCHECK terrain fixes or terrain enhancements, something like that. There was also some talk about this on GAMMA discord, that's how I figured it out. Might be already fixed in the latest hotfixes though
Finally back to real Stalker experience 😊 i kind a feel that something missing from playing Stalker 2 don't be wrong it's a good game with interesting development story from the old one but still.... i just can't find the real stalker soul in there. For me a veteran player since Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, i just can't found the same excitement with STALKER 2 gameplay. But this.... Seeing you playing it again bringing me a sense of a "fit like a fiddle" all over again.
@LykeTwice Nah mate it is what it is, it's not always about the good graphics but the soul inside the gameplay. I dunno if you are veteran player or just know about the game lately but I assure you there's many things that missing on Stalker 2 that makes it difference from the old Stalker game.
@@KusanagiRyuji Give it time for the mods to catch up. Gotta keep the context that Gamma is years worth of mods and tuning, I think 2 can be even better with that level of commitment.
I'm probably wrong, but I always thought the 'Found Nothing Useful' prompt meant that the body had already been looted (sitting there too long) or never had anything to begin with. Stalkers killed by other Stalkers' haven't been lootable (for me, at least) unless the victorious Stalker also dies before getting a chance to loot. Bandit enemies are a thing for Loners, etc., (i.e., standard fare), so it seems like even as Freedom it should make sense, no?
If the stalker is around they tell you not to touch their loot but if they left the game just pretend like there isn’t anything useful doesn’t actually mean it’s been looted it’s just a immersive way to keep from getting loot you didn’t earn
Gamma review. After playing stalker 2 like its my full time job, 50 hours. I have started gamma. Spawned in Rostok as a loner. Hmm guess i should do something. Deliver a package to Yantar. I start walking then seen a chimera destroy some dude climbed a tower but then i thought i would be safe. It jumped... 10/10
100%, still kicking myself for not biting the bullet and installing it sooner. Incredible to have it included in the base GAMMA install, and the "accurate reticles" submod fixes any annoyances I had with the default 3DSS optics (tritium, single vs dual focal plane, etc.)
Some of the PDAs now have notes of special RF channels in the area. It won't notify you like it does when there are stash coordinates. The PDA you sold to Dushman had a noteworthy RF signal. I'm not sure if it leads to anything however
Been playing gamma for 2 weeks. Loving it. I’m playing on easy though cause it’s my first time but once I get a few more hours in I might restart on a higher difficulty.
funnily enough with the new hideout furniture mod you can infact put down foundations. sadly it doesnt work with dynamic emission cover but hopefully theyll be able to get them working in unison soon
You gotta save mutant parts to upgrade your artifacts, and staying with the bandits as SUPER GOOD BUDDIES would give them a chance to redeem themselves.
Love your vids man! I’m wondering if the luck you had early on was actually the new update making good loot easier to find. I just started playing and found an SKS in a stash in Cordon with 4 green parts, including barrel. Finished repairs easily and now I have a fully functional gun after only a couple hours in Cordon. That’s never happened before
I know you hate it, but I'd love to see more night trips, but maybe if you get night vision. It would also be interesting if you found a gauss rifle and became the best sniper in the zone, much love man !
Lack of factions is what makes Heart of Chornobyl bland for me.Presence of factions made the original game whole lot of a unique experience. Would have loved to start as a freedom’er or clear sky’er in Heart of Chornobyl.
So close to version 1.0 I can almost taste it I do reckon Freedom will be a bit boring compared to Renegade, but keen to see the changes in the new patch
I believe the roll for the yellow stashes from quests is now no longer 100% and is ~50%. So it seems tools are gonna be a bit more grindy from here on out.
Some cool changes right there as with every update. Can't wait to see some of GAMMA stuff in Stalker 2. First big thing we need is gun/armor trading being removed and replaced with crafting. With GSC being open to modding their games I think it's gonna come sooner than anyone expects.
I would actually like to see you give Road to Vostok a try. I enjoy your gameplay and think you would help teach some folks while you learn type situation if that makes sense.
as good as this start was it could of been better, the duty guy at 18:30 had a green barrel on his ak, the barrel is the only part you actually need a repair kit to replace so if you grabbed it you could of bought and thrown your best parts together to have a fully functional ak
A game where you have night vision, better performance than stalker 2 on an engine that runs on one core, you can jump over things at knee height, better settlements and basically everything better
18:33 Was that not a green condition barrel? I once had a start where I had every faction in Army Warehouses duking-it-out between each other. It was nuts.
Like other people said - can we have invictus run next? Or can you try 0 to hero starting with just knife and no money idea for Renegade run? To then join bandits and then freedom or mercs to complete main quest
11:09 yes i made the mistake by going in to stalker 2 expecting that it learned anything from anomaly... i was severely disappointed. cool sequel for vanilla games tho

There are actually walls, foundations, etc available to craft in the newest patch. You can in fact build an entire hideout new. Haven't gotten around to testing it out yet!
not sure whats all changed in gamma but you can fix some guns with green barrels by buying the cleaning kits from mechanics (not the repair kits obv)
that val can be fixed and usable if you can get the right replacement parts and dropping them in the gun and right click "maintain parts" and ammo, again depending on what has changed in the new patch ;)
25:00 - you actually can put down walls now :)
Wait what? 😂 that’s awesome
in new update you can make walls and doorway for your hideout(GAMMA is amazing)
25:06 wait until you hear about the foundations and walls
As for the LoDs pop-in, what fixed it for me was reinstalling a compatibility patch for SSS. During installation a window pops up asking you to select patches, choose every single one that doesn't say OPTIONAL, and UNCHECK terrain fixes or terrain enhancements, something like that. There was also some talk about this on GAMMA discord, that's how I figured it out. Might be already fixed in the latest hotfixes though
Dude the ambient is insane
Something to note, those mutant parts you'll wanna hold onto because you use those for your artifacts now. [unless you are getting excessive amounts]
Finally back to real Stalker experience 😊 i kind a feel that something missing from playing Stalker 2 don't be wrong it's a good game with interesting development story from the old one but still.... i just can't find the real stalker soul in there.
For me a veteran player since Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, i just can't found the same excitement with STALKER 2 gameplay.
But this.... Seeing you playing it again bringing me a sense of a "fit like a fiddle" all over again.
Must be blind
@LykeTwice Nah mate it is what it is, it's not always about the good graphics but the soul inside the gameplay. I dunno if you are veteran player or just know about the game lately but I assure you there's many things that missing on Stalker 2 that makes it difference from the old Stalker game.
gamma is not a real stalker experience, he started the video with 550 mods enabled on anomaly as well, what r u smoking 😂
@@KusanagiRyuji Give it time for the mods to catch up. Gotta keep the context that Gamma is years worth of mods and tuning, I think 2 can be even better with that level of commitment.
“Real stalker” meanwhile its 500 mods
28:14 gotta love the Darkwood ost
I'm probably wrong, but I always thought the 'Found Nothing Useful' prompt meant that the body had already been looted (sitting there too long) or never had anything to begin with. Stalkers killed by other Stalkers' haven't been lootable (for me, at least) unless the victorious Stalker also dies before getting a chance to loot.
Bandit enemies are a thing for Loners, etc., (i.e., standard fare), so it seems like even as Freedom it should make sense, no?
If the stalker is around they tell you not to touch their loot but if they left the game just pretend like there isn’t anything useful doesn’t actually mean it’s been looted it’s just a immersive way to keep from getting loot you didn’t earn
Gamma review. After playing stalker 2 like its my full time job, 50 hours. I have started gamma. Spawned in Rostok as a loner. Hmm guess i should do something. Deliver a package to Yantar. I start walking then seen a chimera destroy some dude climbed a tower but then i thought i would be safe. It jumped... 10/10
3DSS took gunplay to another level
100%, still kicking myself for not biting the bullet and installing it sooner. Incredible to have it included in the base GAMMA install, and the "accurate reticles" submod fixes any annoyances I had with the default 3DSS optics (tritium, single vs dual focal plane, etc.)
Can't wait to play Stalker 2 Gamma in 5 years.
Some of the PDAs now have notes of special RF channels in the area. It won't notify you like it does when there are stash coordinates. The PDA you sold to Dushman had a noteworthy RF signal. I'm not sure if it leads to anything however
Been playing gamma for 2 weeks. Loving it. I’m playing on easy though cause it’s my first time but once I get a few more hours in I might restart on a higher difficulty.
I say start that harder run sooner than later. Gamma games run so much longer than any other single player game I've ever experienced
funnily enough with the new hideout furniture mod you can infact put down foundations. sadly it doesnt work with dynamic emission cover but hopefully theyll be able to get them working in unison soon
2:08 The music stopping is a STALKER Anomaly issue where main menu music doesn't start during the New Game screen. Bothersome but it is what it is.
LOVE IT, cant wait for more
the symbol is a nearby artifact! threw me off guard too
I don't like that feature. Kinda defeats the entire idea of using a detector to see if any are around
Can’t wait for you to build a base with the new walls and building stuff
You gotta save mutant parts to upgrade your artifacts, and staying with the bandits as SUPER GOOD BUDDIES would give them a chance to redeem themselves.
Love your vids man!
I’m wondering if the luck you had early on was actually the new update making good loot easier to find. I just started playing and found an SKS in a stash in Cordon with 4 green parts, including barrel. Finished repairs easily and now I have a fully functional gun after only a couple hours in Cordon. That’s never happened before
gamma has to be top 3 for best overhaul modpack for any game
I know you hate it, but I'd love to see more night trips, but maybe if you get night vision. It would also be interesting if you found a gauss rifle and became the best sniper in the zone, much love man !
Looking forward to part 2!
Lack of factions is what makes Heart of Chornobyl bland for me.Presence of factions made the original game whole lot of a unique experience.
Would have loved to start as a freedom’er or clear sky’er in Heart of Chornobyl.
Gama looks way to good. Didnt know they made it this well... I just finished clear sky after 12 years since last play.
Bandits definitely have it coming...
been playing stalker 2 and saw this on discord... im honestly more interested in gamma lol.
Looking forward to more Gamma! Wrangler
So close to version 1.0 I can almost taste it
I do reckon Freedom will be a bit boring compared to Renegade, but keen to see the changes in the new patch
Wow! This and the Custom for this next year. (y)
I hope S2 gets base building, even if it's just simple like sleeping bags and camp stoves
Looking forward to next stalker 2 video
I believe the roll for the yellow stashes from quests is now no longer 100% and is ~50%. So it seems tools are gonna be a bit more grindy from here on out.
Some cool changes right there as with every update. Can't wait to see some of GAMMA stuff in Stalker 2. First big thing we need is gun/armor trading being removed and replaced with crafting. With GSC being open to modding their games I think it's gonna come sooner than anyone expects.
I would actually like to see you give Road to Vostok a try. I enjoy your gameplay and think you would help teach some folks while you learn type situation if that makes sense.
I’ve had my eye on it for a while, might just do that
as good as this start was it could of been better, the duty guy at 18:30 had a green barrel on his ak, the barrel is the only part you actually need a repair kit to replace so if you grabbed it you could of bought and thrown your best parts together to have a fully functional ak
Could have*
That unknown symbol means there is an artifact nearby.
Try to keep your mutant parts bc that’s how you make artifacts now.
Grok really needs to bring back the original merc voices
A game where you have night vision, better performance than stalker 2 on an engine that runs on one core, you can jump over things at knee height, better settlements and basically everything better
Awesome vid man! Do you leave all of the MCM settings default?
18:33 Was that not a green condition barrel?
I once had a start where I had every faction in Army Warehouses duking-it-out between each other. It was nuts.
Cant wait for the next video
Like other people said - can we have invictus run next? Or can you try 0 to hero starting with just knife and no money idea for Renegade run? To then join bandits and then freedom or mercs to complete main quest
I really hope i ll see GAMMA for stalker 2
11:09 yes i made the mistake by going in to stalker 2 expecting that it learned anything from anomaly... i was severely disappointed. cool sequel for vanilla games tho
Summer grass/trees FTW!
