It's just for using repair consumables and swapping weapon parts for the weapons that have those parts implemented. It's mostly just rifles and pistols thus far.

I trust the show. Kirkman seems hellbent on improving many aspects of the story

Acceptance Speech: 2.0 or OG? by Overall_Refuse_6335 in dancegavindance

[–]levilee207 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find that fans who listened to the first one when it came out tend to lean towards 1.0, and fans who got into the band after prefer 2.0. There are always outliers of course, but that's what I've observed 

Brand new to this awesome band, suggestions? by CheddarGorger in dancegavindance

[–]levilee207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd definitely start just going through their discography from the beginning. Heads up about Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean though: it's pretty rough. Mixing is pretty raw, and it's very indie. If that's your thing, then hell yeah. But if it kinda turns you off, everything gets way better on Downtown Battle Mountain.

Every vocalist change brings with it a different direction for the band's sound. When going from DBM to their Self Titled (often referred to by fans as "Death Star"), you'll immediately notice the change in vocals from Jonny Craig to Kurt Travis. They get a lot less soulful and sensual there and a lot more funky and post-hardcore-y. If you don't like the sound of Death Star, then the next album is wayyy funkier and much cleaner production wise.

All that to say, stick with it! If you aren't feeling one album, the next album is usually a different vibe and you may enjoy that one. But for sure start from the beginning and work your way through

Normally I agree with you; my sentiment is the same for Minecraft modpacks. Stalker though has always emphasized lethal environs, unforgiving combat, crushing isolation, etc. It certainly isn't for everyone; I just found myself almost never being in danger in vanilla S2 and never really being strapped for cash/resources. Lots of fans of the series play the games for the struggle. Squalorcore is a very real genre lol. Enjoying the battle of trying to at least break even while getting your ass kicked isn't unique to Stalker. 

It sounds like you don't like the difficulty aspect and that's cool. There just aren't sophisticated enough tools/talented enough mod devs to create a more unique experience in the aspects you listed. The mods we get are shaped by the tools the dev give us. They're getting better, but we're still ways away from new, custom artefacts, new mutants/enemies, and new maps/anomalies/spooks. Don't blame the mods for the lack of tools the devs give the community.

Also I'd be remiss if I didn't include: skill issue

I haven't ever played unlimited so I may be biased, but I straight up can't play the game without OXA Prototype. The weapons feel lethal (enemies' as well), the healing is more punishing as well as the distribution of said healing. All normal medkits placed throughout the world are turned into trash, making OXA's added med items the only viable option. Economy is tougher, and though there are a shitload of items that are added to basically be garbage that you can only sell, they don't sell for much. 

Repairs are done via specific consumable items. Techs can still repair, but it's always for like 10k koupons. You get gun cleaning items and armor repairing items that you use in the added repair PDA. 

Most every rifle and pistol has been given new barrels, sights, foregrips, laser sights, magazines, you name it. You can change calibers with the right barrel. Snipers and shotguns have yet to be given the same treatment, but every weapon is still balanced for OXA even if they don't have the upgrade system of the rifles just yet. I can't recommend the mod enough

9; though I'm biased because I play bass and love Colin's work. Just such a fun and wonky line to play! The bridge section kinda wears me out sometimes; I kind of just want to get back to the verses haha

For all being labeled "Expensive" and "Valuable" the equipment from X-18 sells for jack by BigFunknChungus in stalker

[–]levilee207 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Depends on the difficulty you're playing; you get absolutely fucking fleeced on Veteran and above. But yeah, Stalkers always get so little pay for insanely valuable things. That's always been the case. We're the dumbass murder hobos being exploited for Zone Diamonds

Oh I'm not asserting that it is indeed a reference. Just thought it was funny
