I'm wearing the secret merc armor.

I'm wearing the secret merc armor.

The Mail Armor? Or the Hidden One?
Pffft.
Hell, even Kruglov, wait that's a bad example, even Sahkarov or Sid could kick your ass if you wear either one.

[ToonyMan]

The hidden one in newb town, which I'm hanging out at because I can't get past the two controllers underground.

[Aqizzar]

Kruglov can be defeated by a door and his own bad scripting.  Most quest NPCs who move have the same weakness.  Kruglov's danger is that when he screws up like that, he can trap you in or out of the lab building.

Wait I thought that was an Ordinary Merc Suit, with the crappy blue shirt and body armor. I thought only the Military Shirt that you get from raiding the outpost gives you the Green Sweat Shirt.

Kruglov can be defeated by a door and his own bad scripting.  Most quest NPCs who move have the same weakness.  Kruglov's danger is that when he screws up like that, he can trap you in or out of the lab building.

...
Well his aim is good at least.

[ToonyMan]

The armor gives me 30% protection in almost everything.

[Phantom]

Let's see... SEVA Suit...
Monolith Suit...
Exoskeleton...
SKAT-9...

[Jackrabbit]

I have elected to keep Ghost's suit as a souvenir, and because that guard-hazmat-suit is only slightly better than the SEVA suit.  And the SEVA suit looks fucking cool.

Apparently the SEVA suit is the one you want. Mine's been shot to hell and back. I hate Wild I hate Wild I hate Wild I hate Wild I hate Wild I hate Wild I hate

[Lumbajak]

Actually I think in OL the best suit miiiiight be the one you get for giving the grenade launcher to the Duty leader.

Universal protection or some crap, basically a SEVA Suit with bullet resistance.

_{OL still sux though lolololololoolol}

[Sir Pseudonymous]

Oh youse guise


Probably the best gun you can obtain outside the NPP is the GP-37 (H&K GP36) which can easily be obtained by looting a poor dead Freedom guy who gave his life trying to hold the Barrier from Monolith scum.


The best gun in SoC period is the FT-200M (FN F2000) which can only be found in the NPP.

...Although there is a stash in the Red Forest that has one too, I think.

By the way JackAqi, have fun with the scorcher.

But the GP-37 has a built in scope. It might be more accurate at long range, but it's completely useless for close range combat, and a dragunov is much better for dealing with enemies at range.

And it doesn't really make sense for a gun you find in the last level to be labeled the "best in the game", since it can thus only be used in one small part of the game, at the very end. Unless you're only taking raw statistics into account, in which case you're ignoring the actual utility of a gun...

[Lumbajak]

It was implied yes, but again you can find it in a stash in the Red Forest apparently.

And unless you turn crosshairs off then not being able to use ironsights doesn't make a gun useless in close quarters.

Hell even without crosshairs it's not that hard. But then I say that with lots of experience in Killing Floor and... crosshair-less STALKER.



Edit: For CoP I highly suggest this and this.

They're graphics changes only, and gosh darn if they don't make things pretty.

Complete CoP hopefully won't take much longer either.


DoubleEdit: Early versions of LURK had some amusing glitches. Snorks would say GET OUT OF HERE STALKER and traders were able to die and dropped so much shit upon dying that the game would crash more often than not.

Just, throwin that out there.

[Sir Pseudonymous]

It was implied yes, but again you can find it in a stash in the Red Forest apparently.

Except stashes are buggy as fuck all in SoC...

And unless you turn crosshairs off then not being able to use ironsights doesn't make a gun useless in close quarters.

Except not using ironsights means the spread goes up to "can't hit the broad side of a barn at point blank range" (coincidentally, that's also the spread of every weapon, ironsights or not, before you get a hold of an AK-74 (and there's still shit for accuracy until you hit NATO guns)).

I think the TRs 301 was always my weapon of choice for close range once I got one (and long range till I got a GP-37, immediately replacing the grossly inferior IL-86 despite the lack of scope (until I found a scope for it, of course)). But, once I got a dragunov, I determined that the GP-37 was redundant, and the TRs 301 was perfectly serviceable for everything too close for the dragunov to deal with (especially since it's so fucking light, which means more ammo and healing supplies).

[Jopax]

Wow that last mod looks awesome, never tought i would see clear weather in CoP, might even reinstall the game just to see how it looks with this

[ToonyMan]

Riding on a rainbow~

[Lumbajak]

It was implied yes, but again you can find it in a stash in the Red Forest apparently.

They're not buggy in SoC, but you need the map data before being able to open them. This is fixed in CoP.

And unless you turn crosshairs off then not being able to use ironsights doesn't make a gun useless in close quarters.

Except not using ironsights means the spread goes up to "can't hit the broad side of a barn at point blank range" (coincidentally, that's also the spread of every weapon, ironsights or not, before you get a hold of an AK-74 (and there's still shit for accuracy until you hit NATO guns)).

So every gun up until NATO guns sucks and you can't fire them without ironsights but the GP37 is a NATO gun and somehow still sucks?
Vintorez is a better snoipah anyways.

which means more ammo and healing supplies).

On an unrelated note, the max weight in LURK is 35(40)kg. That's enough for your armour, your guns, and the bare essentials in ammo and first aid.

For REAL stalkan.

Edit: Also on the Atmosfear site in the FAQ section are links to some texture packs that are also recommended because Atmosfear only changes the weather.
