Military: Ukraine army
Freedom: Nato
Ecologist: UN
Clear Sky: Azov battalion
Loners: International volunteers
Monolith: Chechnya fighters
Duty: Russian Army
Mercenaries: Wagner group
Renegades: Pro Russian militia
Bandits: Also Russian soldiers
Duty and Military are on the same side in the game.
Why isn't mercenaries the international legion and renegades Wagner and Loners Donetsk, Luhansk militia? Your Stalker 2 would be is shit
This is just moronic and ignorant. Duty are implicitly Ukrainian-backed, the mercenaries use western weapons and gear almost exclusively and half of them speak with German accents. The current conflict has almost no bearing on the stalker setting, since its an IP dating from a time when the Ukrainian government was largely pro-Russian; so trying to divide factions into a pro/anti Russia paradigm just isn't going to work. Only faction that would qualify is freedom because they're explicitly western backed and want open (western) access to the zone, the mercenaries are certainly supplied by the west but they're private actors and there's no indication that they have any political affiliation.
For fricks sake leave my favorite game the frick out of your gay ass war you fricking dipshit
what ever faction kills the most bandits
>what ever faction kills the most bandits
Kill bandits. Behead bandits. Roundhouse kick a bandit into the concrete. Slam dunk a bandit's pseudodog into the trashcan. Crucify filthy black leather coats. Defecate in a bandits food. Launch bandits into the sun. Stir fry bandits in a wok. Toss bandits into active anomalies. Urinate into a bandits ammo stash. Judo throw bandits into a wood chipper. Twist bandits heads off. Report bandits to the military. Karate chop bandits in half. Curb stomp pregnant bandits. Trap bandits in quicksand. Crush bandits in the trash compactor. Liquefy bandits in a vat of acid. Eat bandits. Dissect bandits. Exterminate bandits in the gas chamber. Stomp bandit skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate bandits in the oven. Lobotomize bandits. Mandatory arrest warrants for bandits. Grind bandit rookies in the garbage disposal. Drown bandits in fried chicken grease. Vaporize bandits with a rail gun. Kick old bandits down the stairs. Feed bandits to chimeras. Slice bandits with a katana.
You fricking moron. Duty is composed of former ukrainian spetsnaz and army personell. Monolith hates everyone fight the russians as much as anybody else
*they would fight the russians. god maybe I am moronic too
I guess idea of pro-russian Duty comes from original language patch for the game.
Initially Stalker was relese fully in russian language, but then specific patch was added and game became multi-language. Some factions as Freedom spoke ukranian, while another ones like Duty were still using Russian.
Duty for all game purposes. Stronger and better in every way. Freedom for larp because cheap, easy, and fun.
Duty, not because Russia but because I am a Nazi and they drip hard.
So forcing politics into games is okay when you do it? Frick off tourgay.
I have always been a Freedom-gay and I always will.

Along with shotgun perks
The Survivalist's Rifle and ALSID will always have a place in my heart. It inspired me to buy my own compact Colt 1911 and .50 Beowulf rifle. The medicine stick is also a very good choice. As for Metro, the Uboinik is best.
God tier shotgun. That motherfricker has RANGE.
Hear me out. Hunt Showdown is /k/ as frick if you like Wheelgats. And my favorite is the "Totally Not A Winchester" because the devs nearly got sued.
You also get to operate with a Mosin.
100% agreed, the game was supremely aesthetic.
It got better if you haven't played in a while.
Crytek is Norwegian...or something.
Hunt is very based and fun. I like the paranormal stuff as well, more American games needs to be similar to stalker in atmosphere and weapon selection
I'd love to play it, but my computer can't run it and I'm afraid of spiders.

What a $oiboy troon opinion. You will never be the better game. Modders won't make you into a real Fallout game. Graphic updates on a dated engine won't make your writing tolerable. You will never bear the love of true Fallout fans, only memories coming from children that will abandon you as your own family did for the money-driven broken promises Bethesda actually values. You will mutilate yourself in a caricature of memes and recycled drivel to bear some semblance to the greatness you wish to join. Tasteless digital pap offered to drooling masses without ever emerging in memory as the true canon Fallout franchise has. On your gravestone will be inscribed your birth name as much as you loathe to be called by it, Elder Scrolls with Guns.
STALKER is pretty much entirely the reason I like the VAL and Vintorez
Good thread

That flip is probably the smoothest animation in the whole game.
It's good
True?
11Labs was a dollar this month, so I had a little fun with it.
Thanks anon.
Or any laser/plasma/whatever gun if something that recharges itself is too much to ask. Just give me something that I can have fun shooting as much as I want while only needing to recharge batteries.
based, the sci-fi guns are the most fun. slapping a plasma bolt into someones gut or lighting them up with a barrage of lasers is never not fun as hell. I appreciate any mod that lets you charge some of them up, too, to let you release a huge blast.

Assault carbine because I think it's very aesthetic
What do you guys equate 5mm to in real life? The games never expound on cartridge details only that it's lighter than 5.56. I imagine something like .221-17 IMP
>The games never expound on cartridge details only that it's lighter than 5.56
that's because Black Isle just added whatever they thought was cool at the time
>that's because Black Isle just added whatever they thought was cool at the time
they actually wanted to emphasize it wasnt "our" future but an alternate timelime that had diverged well before the bombs
so 10mm was chosen specifically because it was a meme cartridge that never took off in real life
they also went with "fake gun, real company" so the 10mm SMG is a blocky future gun made by HK, the semi-auto 10rnd-mag rangemaster pistol gripped hunting rifle is made by colt, and the P94 plasmacaster is made by winchester
fallout 2 added more real world guns and real world calibers because chris avellone is a gun nut, including an FN FAL with no alternate history whatsoever
a few weapons still followed the fallout 1 design philosophy like magnetic weapons manufactured by rheinmetall but it planted the seeds for future games to include an unmodified AK and M16
this is also why FNV has the genercized plasma defender, plasma caster, and so on
they really didnt want to bring back the real world companies and followed fallout 3s purely fictional weapon history
while still having a totally unaltered M1911 that is simply called the .45 auto
>so 10mm was chosen specifically because it was a meme cartridge that never took off in real life
Go read their interviews, guns were chosen because they thought they were cool.
The 10mm was in the game because they genuinely thought it was going to be a common caliber.
This, same reason deus ex had it. 10mm is dead now, but in the late 90s it was predicted by most talking heads in gun rags to see mass adoption by police and military, following suit with the FBI.
>fallout 2 better than 1 in every way
>durr ignore it
i hate chris avellone so much
The writing and story is so fricking shit in 2 but I forgive the game for that just for the fact that Enclave power armor exists and companions are actually useable.
>The writing and story is so fricking shit in 2
>enclave actually foreshadowed since the beginning of the game instead of just flipping the game halfway
>more naturalistic dialogue from characters with personality instead of very video game-y "hey newcomer this is our time and this its history" from fallout 1
>actually funny
>over arching plot connects to each individual towns issues, creating a more fleshed out myth arc and stronger over arching themes
its one thing to say the tone and atmosphere of 1 was better, but quite another thing to imply fallout 2 wasnt an improvement in the actual storytelling
it actually tries to connect the two halves of the plot together and strings all the tiny quests you do to make it relevant to the enclave
even the enclave being hyper-evil and uncompromising is relevant to the plot, they werent a darker shade of black for no reason
the game has an overarching theme that working together despite your difference
so what could possibly be the anti-thesis to that? an organization that shuns any and all attempts to work together
He's right though. Compared to the first game, Fallout 2 is as if they got the writers of big bang theory or family guy. Constant referential humor, which existed in the first game but is downright suffocating in 2. Fallout 2 is better remembered and more accessible because its got dramatically more content and is overall cleaner to play, but Avellone is absolutely justified in disregarding the cornball sequel when it comes to lore contradictions.
He's not wrong, management fricked over NV when they tried to renegotiate their contract with Zenimax.
What's your go to alt-history gun from fallout?
I am still mad that they never added back the shotgun from fallout 1 and 2. Its such a cool design and the burst fire mode absolutly ass rapes everything, but instead they keep added moronic looking shotguns like the one in 3 and 4.
There is a mod for it in NV(although I think it's just semi-auto I don't remember). Would like to see someone attempt to put it into 4 with all the customization options that game could allow since someone did that for Bozar and the Rangemaster.
Speaking of 4, can you recommend any good power armor skin mods? I just want a skin that makes the T-51b look more like in the first 2 games, where it had a dark green for the chest and shoulder pads. I hate how the default look gives it a rusty finish that you cannot remove.
Looking for something like this?
Standalone Classic T51 on nexus.
Thanks brother. One more question though, how do you get nice screen shots like that? Kinda like theater mode back in Halo. Is the in the base game or is that also a mod?
Not sure how it was the pic for the mod.

That is simply because John Moses Browning and the 1911 is present in every timeline.
>when you're talking to joshua graham about each tribe having a signature weapons and he mentions that the pistol is one designed by a member of his
It's a nice detail.
>this is also why FNV has the genercized plasma defender, plasma caster, and so on
I think this is more an issue of dealing with the legal parts of putting actual company names in the game.
I dont think its a real problem, even in the newest terminator 1&2 rereleases the plasma rifles are still by westinghouse, and they never paid a cent. Same deal with the Caterpillar mech in Aliens. And I would say a Hollywood blockbuster is a much more prominent example than an item description in a game.
>dont think its a real problem
It is when the franchise becomes somewhat popular, its why Project Aces can't remaster AC 4 5 and Zero, they need licensing agreements for the aircraft.
It's not really about paying it's more about not getting sued. Even if nothing happens many companies prefer just not to tempt fate just in case. For Interplay they probably didn't care but Bethesda lawyers were probably more cautious hence not even using the branding for weapons already given it such as the colt 6520 not even being given the name in fallout 4's classic 10mm pistol pack.
You know I really want to know what pre-war military armament looked like. Since we have at least three different assault rifles in use by the military not to mention laser weapons were having field runs.
Fallout 1 implied that combat armor + AK112 was being phased out and handed out to nat guard while the army used T-51b and laser/plasma
Fallout 2 and the fallout bibles retconned it a bit so that combat armor and AK-112 was still a major part of the army, with T-51b and an unspecified earlier model being concentrated into mechanised divisions
3/NV went with 2s interpretation with a bit of difference
3 claimed it was combat armor + R91, and clarified that the older model of power armor was T-45d
NV also said that the plasma caster was old and outdated and replaced by the urban plasma rifle, and that modern-ish assault carbine and marksman carbine were available to special forces
3 and NV stated that laser weapons were fairly widespread pre-war, rarer than ballistics but still accessible
Plasma was the rare one
While 1 and 2 had lasers be so absurdly rare outside of the army that they took on a mythic status post-war
>While 1 and 2 had lasers be so absurdly rare outside of the army that they took on a mythic status post-war
Which is funny because the one in the first game is mentioned as a civilian model that is not as strong as the military models. I say it's a shame the fallout 3 laser pistol is pretty weak because you could have had an interesting mix if you had civilian laser weapons and military grade laser weapons. It also makes me wonder how laser people would be regarded in the gun communities.
it is weird that the wattz 1000 was never re-introduced in FNV, even though they re-added the original plasma gun as the plasma caster and tweaked to be a heavy weapon
there wasnt any legal issues, since the wattz company is purely fictional
and it would have made the laser pistol better in comparison, the laser pistol was actually decent in 3, NV nerfed it to the ground because it was intended to be given to you at the start of the game
>t also makes me wonder how laser people would be regarded in the gun communities.
they would probably be the most insufferable people of all time as they admire their beautiful weapon and making sure everyone at the range knows how they use photons instead of lead
>and it would have made the laser pistol better in comparison, the laser pistol was actually decent in 3, NV nerfed it to the ground because it was intended to be given to you at the start of the game
Exactly you could have a scaling of laser weapons going from wattz 1000 to the AEP7 pistol to the AER9 rifle and ending with the Wattz 2000 laser rifle. Then you get the original and the new like they did with plasma. I'd imagine it was probably a time issue and they decided the plasma weapons were more worth porting over.
One really nice thing about the Fallout games is that while the official lore has laser / plasma weapons being used by militaries within 20 years of WWIII, the post-apocalyptic and post-post-apocalyptic worlds of the Fallout games are primarily run with gunpowder weapons because the advanced civilization requirements for plasma / lasers haven't been rebuilt at scale.
NCR gets it done with M16s; Caesar gets it done with bludgeons and traditional rifles.
Funny enough really the best use for them after the war is really in the hand of lone individuals. A military like the NCR can't really afford large sums of laser rifles. But one person with the right know how could get by with one. I'd imagine the stats for energy weapons are half just knowing how to keep the 200 year old mess of circuitry and crystalline lenses working properly and half knowing how to aim the projectiles.
>NV also said that the plasma caster was old and outdated and replaced by the urban plasma rifle, and that modern-ish assault carbine and marksman carbine were available to special forces
Boarder guards had some AR10 chambered in 12.7 according to honest hearts.
It's highly possible they were in a complete panic. Many countries when shit hits the fan super-hard encounter similar cases. Just look at how many weapons Nazi Germany tastily adopted like the STGs while they were getting raped from many directions. Thus with pre-war America having this Chinese red scare and being more desperate than their relative war success would suggest, shit like this happens.
It would fit with all the lore about a ton of companies doing military contractor work. Odds are gun manufacturers were getting tons of competing contracts.
Plus with pre-War America being an authoritarian corporatist state you just know that every company had some official in their pocket handing out contracts like candy. It even helps Fallout 4's indication that pipe weapons were common pre-War; between companies focusing on government contracts, hyperinflation, and general paranoia and panic, the easiest and cheapest way to stay armed was a zip gun.
its sad to say but its probably the fallout 4 combat rifle
the R91 was explicitly called national guard fodder and its only common in washington DC due to large number of nat guard being deployed to keep order just before the bombs fell
while the AK-112 is described as "out of use" by its flavor text, so its prevalence post-war is almost certainly because people looted national guard depots or was common on the civilian market, and possibly because it was just easy to refurbish with primitive gunsmithing tools
the fallout 4 assault rifle is actually referred to as "machine gun" in the internal files and has .50cal written on the side, so despite the name its clearly a heavy weapon intended for use with power armor
same story behind the FNV varmint rifle, which was originally in .22 before it was changed to 5.56 at the last minute because they felt that all .22 weapons should be suppressed
I'd say you'd have a good argument to make for the service rifle mainly because the Survivalist Rifle was used by an actual military man. But he was specifically a boarder guard so it could be a more special thing.
service rifle never really had any good backstory other than that they were pre-war guns that the gun runners refurbished
though it would be weird if the standard firearm was a semi-auto weapon when full-auto weapons like the AK and R91 were already considered aging
is probably just another weapon in their back catalog pulled out to equip some border guards
That's an unholy amount of Barnes and Noble books.

I know IRL, rocking a Bolt action rifle as your main fighting weapon in the post apoc is a bad Idea, but eith vats, I'd reck almost everything I came across. If I got swarmed, I'd switch to a browning high power.

Great thread
A light shining in darkness is great. I really like the metallic clang it does when fired suppressed (same reason I like fallout 3 guns, they actually sound like they're made of metal).
But my absolute favorite weapon has to be lead pipe, the hit sound and the gibbing are just too damn satisfying.
