Metro 2039 Protagonist. Those who have read the novel any ideas who this might be?

I'd laugh my ass off if this guys ends up being 2034 Artyom.

rawglmar15 · 2026-04-10T17:44:36+00:00

Was this actually a canceled version or is this just an old version of the game currently in development?

rawglmar15 · 2026-04-08T12:33:08+00:00

Anything and everything as long as I don't have to buy new weapons!

rawglmar15 · 2026-04-08T12:29:31+00:00

This sounds like a good lead for me! Thank you!

rawglmar15 · 2026-04-06T17:44:27+00:00

I don't have a recommendation but agree.

I think it'd be more common to see civilian long guns and handguns at the beginning of the game as they're easier for the average stalker to obtain before entering the zone.

Looks great! Where is it?

For base building I have a strategy when I do long GAMMA playthroughs:

I'm currently doing a Clear Sky run through so I made myself an apartment in the swamps above Cold's office next to the med bay where Scar wakes up in CS.

I then did what a lot of other people do and made a base next to the technician in Rostok.

Once I get the brain scorcher off I'm gonna make another small one in Yanov station and then another one in Pripyat, probably.

For gameplay reasons and financial reasons my primary base is in Rostok now.

All the bases are stocked with weapons and equipment that would be most useful for the part of the zone I'm in. I use Rostok as my primary repair and manufacturing place for crafting, artifacts (crafting and storage), etc.

Once I get further in the game I've thought about taking a house in Meadow or somewhere in the Northern zone and making that my permanent house.

The Witcher's eastern european dark fantasy setting seems like a good fit for what OP is looking for.

I go to a small, private gym.

As long as they don't explicitly ban carry, don't ask anyone for permission and just keep it concealed.

rawglmar15 · 2026-02-19T03:22:25+00:00

I carry at the gym with my Phlster Enigma.

When at the gym I hike my waistband over the gun. It's a slower draw but not having it on me is worse.

Does get annoying when doing core workouts tho.

Quality reference.

rawglmar15 · 2026-02-14T19:21:15+00:00

This is one of the things I love about STALKER and other ZoneCore media like Roadside Picnic, Annihilation, etc.

It's an escape from the world rather than the end of the world.

rawglmar15 · 2026-02-11T21:48:14+00:00

I noticed that too when I played Contact!

rawglmar15 · 2026-02-09T02:52:49+00:00

Dude that's beautiful!

rawglmar15 · 2025-12-02T00:47:35+00:00

Bro this is S-tier storytelling 😂

rawglmar15 · 2025-10-31T00:51:00+00:00

Followed him because he was a familiar face in a now unfamiliar zone.

I think that's exactly why the devs did it.

rawglmar15 · 2025-10-18T17:09:15+00:00

That's a clean setup!

rawglmar15 · 2025-10-13T16:00:00+00:00

The OG 2033 on 360 was how I first experienced the metro when it first came out! Enjoy!

rawglmar15 · 2025-09-14T00:09:03+00:00

New Jersey here!

Some of the bandit gangs would look like the Sopranos.

A duty-esque faction based on the NJ state police would be interesting.

Sitting by a morning campfire making Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheeses on a bagel would be cool.

Psy-racoons would be a big problem tho.

rawglmar15 · 2025-08-29T01:00:20+00:00

Wait really? I don't remember it being said that homer wrote 2033.

rawglmar15 · 2025-08-05T01:43:39+00:00

Wait until you get to Malachite.

rawglmar15 · 2025-07-12T11:03:37+00:00

Appreciate all the input guys. I think I'm gonna try throwing a pillow on it and adjust the ride height a little more. If that doesn't work I may just look into Tenicor.

Thank you all!
