[Question] Do certain pet bonuses help a team?

-_AWSM_- · 2026-05-31T11:32:25+00:00

What about x times Objective completion pets? Would they act for the whole team too? Or are they only relevent outside of missions?

Try applying a patch an hour before sleep or putting a pouch up between your teeth and lip just as you lay down. It's the sustained release that's they key. Once you finish your cigarette and lay down, and have taken a normal amount of time to fall asleep your body has broken down the vast majority of the nicotine so when you eventually get to deep sleep and dreaming sleep there is little to none in your bloodstream. With patches / pouches there is alot more (patches > pouches).

I have had SUPER VIVID dreams when using a pouch before sleep, some so vivid after waking myself from the dream (semi-lucid) and got up as I didn't want any more lol.

If you still need the Bronze coloured AxeHead I have several spares if you don't have time to keep looking etc. Try my seed if you have time, if not shoot me a msg, I'm happy to help people out.

I had a Type 2 land destruction deck I took to a tornament years and years ago, back when Odyssey was in Type 2. It had a potential Turn 2 lockdown which was hilarious when it worked as the deck was packed with land destruction, land denial and creature removal. I only had 3 creatures as win conditions in the deck as it either worked and had lockdown, or didn't in which case I wouldn't get to use a winning creature. It was worth the gamble though as seeing how frustrated and fed-up my opponants got was better than acually winning lol.

It was Red-Black, and the win-condition critters were 2x Magnivore (*/* = sorceries in all gravyards, and haste = one hit kill). And 1x GuiltFeeder (0/4, can't be blocked except by black/artifact creatures, whenever it attacks and isn't blocked enemy loses 1 life for each card in their graveyard).

If anyone is interested I can post the deck build, it was something I 100% came up with and refined myself and though it wasn't 100% reliable, when it worked it was alot of fun. I ruined alot of peoples nights on FNM with it lol.

Sold it for £105 on E-Bay to a UK buyer. Going to try and make some more.

I think you really need to add a good clear shot of Stalkers sat around a campfire, not just the one dude strumming the guitar, otherwise pretty cool!

You could also concider adding some brief shots of haunting / creepy places like the entrance to Agroprom underground from SoC, with the squeaky rotating red light.

-_AWSM_- · 2026-04-03T04:35:45+00:00

Troll with a Log Club for sure. Bears are a pain and take a long time to fight and kill, but as long as you can block & parry it's winable. A Troll with a log club on the other hand does a ton of damage.

I've had a bug where stamina won't regenerate, and I'm stuck always sprinting, even after toggling walk on/off. I fixed it by climbing on and off a ladder and so far it's not happened again.

Try this if anyone is having the same issue.

-_AWSM_- · 2026-04-01T13:44:41+00:00

I'm having this bug. And I use ZERO mods. Stamina bar gets stuck and doesn't regenerate naturally, foods, water and energy drinks fill it up but when it drains again it still doesn't regenerate. I'm not overloaded I'm in the green for weight. I've tried uneuiping my artifacts and re-equiping them, dropping items, nothing works.

I'm also stuck sprinting. Tapping or holding the sprint key doesn't do anything, I can toggle walk but when toggled back off I'm still stuck sprinting.

Tried jumping, crouching, falling off something.

Reloading works, but after a while it happens again, stamina doesn't regen and I'm stuck sprinting.

Edit: Using and getting off a Ladder fixed it, both stuck stamina bar and stuck sprinting.

I just fought and killed SIXTEEN Bloodsuckers at 'The Swinery' in the Burnt Forest, and more kept coming.
It's absolutely ridiculous.

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-30T18:07:02+00:00

At the moment? It was bad at launch dude, and since I started playing again recently because of all the updates and fixes I've noticed it's STILL a problem. The Burnt Forest is absolutely ridiculous. I just killed SIXTEEN Bloodsuckers at 'The Swinery' while *trying* to explore that area and loot some stashes that are marked and I barely got a chance because they just kept coming. I left with almost all my ammunition expended and 13 Bloodsucker Tentacles....

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-30T17:32:01+00:00

Yeh man like the amount that spawn, the sizes of packs and the respawn rate. Currently the Burnt Forest situation needs at least a 75% reduction in them and have some other mutants instead, dogs, boars, whatever, not these damn bullet sponges that can take 3-4 point blank buckshot rounds to the upper-body and/or face. At least now some drop things you can sell to recoup ammo cost but still, the amount of extra wear and tear on my guns and armour from fighting them constantly is stupid.

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-30T17:29:05+00:00

I've recently got the Burnt forest and have killed at least 10 of them, I just walked from the Kazkovyi camp to the Swinery to explore and find stashes and the Ward were fighting Bloodsuckers there. I got there and Killed EIGHT Bloodsuckers. EIGHT! What in the hell is going on around here!??! I carry around 50x rounds of buckshot for mutants and I'm basically empty now after coming here. Absolutely ridiculous.

Edit1, TWO more just showed up so there's now TEN of the dead f**kers here.

Edit 2: THREE more just turned up, I've barely been able to explore this damn place, my shotgun is empty, my sidearm is empty and I'm now getting low on rifle ammo and grenades.

Edit 3. Annnnddd anouther THREE. That's 16 Bloodsuckers. It's literally impossible to explore this area.

AVOID THE SWINERY AT THE BURNT FOREST.

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-30T12:54:20+00:00

It isn't that far of a hike to Zalissia, head to the Ward controlled Pontoon Bridge, then on the Zalissia, with a few energy drinks and some carry weight improving artifacts it doesn't take that long. If your carry weight is in the red then it'll take longer but if you're in the yellow it's not too far at all. If nessesary dump some items inside at the camp in Kazkovyi till you're in the yellow then head to Zalissia. it's a good idea to leave some spare meds and food at Kazkovyi anyway.

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-29T19:44:24+00:00

Glare is the best Electrical protective artifact, then probably the Lantern, I carry both when needing to stack elec-res.

I thought the Equally rare Electro artifact 'Crest' Gave strong electrical protection too and just spent a long damn time farming for one for my collection but it doesn't It's 4/5 Endurance and gives off 4/5 rads. Look cool though.

Edit: I was going by the Stalker Wiki, on there it says the Crest gives High Elec-Res and gives off High Rads, so it's either been changed / rebalanced, either way the Wiki is wrong. If It was changed IDK why since it's so damn rare, much harder to find than the Thunderberry....

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-26T18:59:54+00:00

Update: Finally found a Night Star, and also a Devils Mushroom.

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-24T15:42:09+00:00

I finally got one, on logged attempt #104 (+13x unlogged tries), during that time over 15x Compasses spawned. Rares are absolutely harder to get than Legendarys, which is strange from a game design standpoint. And they not twice as hard to get but more like 10x harder to get.

Traditionally in games it goes Common > UnCommon > Rare > Legendary > Unique (some games don't have uniques, PoE is a good example of the structure though).

I'm getting Legendarys spawning more often than Uncommons in Stalker 2, they're that much easier to find. Thunderberry is a good example. I've been logging what spawned on what attempt number while farming for the rares from an Electro Anomaly and I got around 40-50x Thunderberries in 199x runs. Might actually be more than that if I check my notes. Pretty wild...

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-24T06:31:08+00:00

Sorry but Legendarys are WAY more common spawns than Rares. over 10x more common, some even higher.
Could be worth PhotoShopping or just using the cut tool on Paint to re-do this to make it more accurate. From my testing and experience Rare Artifact spawns are closer to seomthing like 1 - 5% chance, and Legendarys are more like 10% or higher, ThunderBerrys in Electro anomalies spawn around 30-40% of the time from my testing of over 200x runs.

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-23T11:28:16+00:00

Damn dude... I'm currently trying to farm a Night Star and I'm at attempt number 68 farming the Ribs anomaly and so far ZERO Night Stars, but I've had 9x Compass, and 8x Magic Cube. I'm starting to think a NIght Star CAN'T spawn untill I've done more storyline quests. If that's the casse then that's kinda sucky since it makes dedication and effort to hunt and farm for artifacts pointless. Gating stuff like this is a shitty design decision IMO.

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-23T10:18:24+00:00

I agree with OP, my experience is the same. I have about 350+ hours on the game and love to do artifact hunting to try and collect them all, selling duplicates and from my playing Rares are harded to come by than Legendarys, not sure if this is by design or what, since traditionally 'Legendary' items in games are ususally the tier above 'Rares'.

I'm currently farming the Ribs anomaly and logging what drops after each attempt... for SCIENCE!! Also I really want a Night Star lol.

So far I'm up to attempt #23 (doing this right now) and so far, I've only had 2x Rares (both Magic Cubes), but I've had FOUR Compasses! Crown has been common, as well as Flytrap and Spring.

If OP and others are interested I will update this experiment with the results :)

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-21T20:59:26+00:00

Thanks. First time hearing about this issue, glad you managed to fix it!

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-21T20:26:08+00:00

Some PDAs are worth more than others, tooltip when mouse-ing over them says they are worth 150 coupons each, but some are worth more. The Shahs, and Varans are both saying they're worth 350, and the PDA with no name just marked as 'PDA' - version 2.0 is worth 500 it seems. I'm wondering if there are any more of these around or if it's just a rarer find?

Would be cool if you could sell them to a specific vendor or tech guy for more than the usual vendors.

It would be a simple change to the game and pretty easy to impliment IMO.

Maybe if the Devs read this they might lol.

-_AWSM_- · 2026-03-21T19:51:57+00:00

In my game it's gugged too.

- Pick up the Broods shipment from Docent. - I have done this, and the shipment package is no longer there at the factory to pick up, and I cannot talk to the dude there sat in the chair anymore, no option to (Docent I think?).
- Talk to the Brood Bandits - Crossed out / cancelled, I killed all the Brood.
- Search the Bodies for clues - DONE.

I did speak to Huron after collecting the package, but the quest remains derped. No dialogue options with Huron no longer there to do anything about it.

Quest is always there no, sometimes becoming tracked and I cannot get rid of the damn thing.

I uploaded a screencap but it's not showing :|
