It cost 1400 to repair once it was in the yellow. Right now I'm running the same load out as you as that's what I've found most effective. <br /> <br /> I noticed you don't want your weapons to degrade past 40% because past that repairing them becomes extremely expensive.<br /> <br /> The enemy spawns are kind of ruining exploring for me. Not sure what triggered it more now because the first 2hrs I played they were not this bad. They just constantly and randomly appear behind you or off on the side. It may not be so bad if they didn't spawn in set to aggro you immediately.<br /> <br /> I also think this ties into the non existent stealth because they see you through walls or obstacles since they spawn in aggro'd on you already.</div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> </div> </div> <div class="reactionsBar js-reactionsList is-active"> <ul class="reactionSummary"> <li><span class="reaction reaction--small reaction--1" data-reaction-id="1"><i aria-hidden="true"></i><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="reaction-sprite js-reaction" alt="Like" title="Like" /></span></li> </ul> <span class="u-srOnly">Reactions:</span> <a class="reactionsBar-link" href="/posts/41345447/reactions" data-xf-click="overlay" data-cache="false" rel="nofollow"><bdi>DAPUNISHER</bdi></a> </div> <footer class="message-footer"> <div class="js-historyTarget message-historyTarget toggleTarget" data-href="trigger-href"></div> </footer> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article class="message message--post js-post js-inlineModContainer " data-author="DAPUNISHER" data-content="post-41346556" id="js-post-41346556"> <span class="u-anchorTarget" id="post-41346556"></span> <div class="message-inner"> <div class="message-cell message-cell--user"> <section itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" class="message-user userExtra--expand"> <div class="message-avatar message-avatar--online"> <div class="message-avatar-wrapper"> <a href="/members/dapunisher.67347/" class="avatar avatar--s" data-user-id="67347" data-xf-init="member-tooltip"> <img src="https://anandtech-data.community.forum/avatars/s/67/67347.jpg?1675931613" srcset="https://anandtech-data.community.forum/avatars/m/67/67347.jpg?1675931613 2x" alt="DAPUNISHER" class="avatar-u67347-s" width="48" height="48" loading="lazy" itemprop="image" /> </a> <span class="message-avatar-online" tabindex="0" data-xf-init="tooltip" data-trigger="auto" title="Online now"></span> </div> </div> <div class="uix_messagePostBitWrapper"> <div class="message-userDetails"> <h4 class="message-name"><a href="/members/dapunisher.67347/" class="username " dir="auto" data-user-id="67347" data-xf-init="member-tooltip"><span class="username--moderator username--color-15" itemprop="name">DAPUNISHER</span></a></h4> <h5 class="userTitle message-userTitle" dir="auto" itemprop="jobTitle">Super Moderator CPU Forum Mod and Elite Member</h5> <div class="userBanner userBanner userBanner--yellow message-userBanner" itemprop="jobTitle"><span class="userBanner-before"></span><strong>Super Moderator</strong><span class="userBanner-after"></span></div> </div> <div class="message-userExtras"> <dl class="pairs pairs--justified"> <dt> <span data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Joined"> <i class="fa--xf far fa-user" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> </dt> <dd>Aug 22, 2001</dd> </dl> <dl class="pairs pairs--justified"> <dt> <span data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Messages"> <i class="fa--xf far fa-comments" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> </dt> <dd>29,906</dd> </dl> <dl class="pairs pairs--justified"> <dt> <span data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Reaction score"> <i class="fa--xf far fa-thumbs-up" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> </dt> <dd>25,710</dd> </dl> <dl class="pairs pairs--justified"> <dt> <span data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Points"> <i class="fa--xf far fa-trophy" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> </dt> <dd>146</dd> </dl> </div> </div> <span class="message-userArrow"></span> </section> </div> <div class="message-cell message-cell--main"> <div class="message-main uix_messageContent js-quickEditTarget"> <header class="message-attribution message-attribution--split"> <ul class="message-attribution-main listInline "> <li class="u-concealed"> <a href="/threads/stalker-2.2583342/post-41346556" rel="nofollow"> <time class="u-dt" dir="auto" datetime="2024-11-28T02:12:45-0500" data-time="1732777965" data-date-string="Nov 28, 2024" data-time-string="2:12 AM" title="Nov 28, 2024 at 2:12 AM" itemprop="datePublished">Thursday at 2:12 AM</time> </a> </li> </ul> <ul class="message-attribution-opposite message-attribution-opposite--list "> <li> <a href="/threads/stalker-2.2583342/post-41346556" class="message-attribution-gadget" data-xf-init="share-tooltip" data-href="/posts/41346556/share" aria-label="Share" rel="nofollow"> <i class="fa--xf far fa-share-alt" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> </li> <li> <a href="/threads/stalker-2.2583342/post-41346556" rel="nofollow"> #128 </a> </li> </ul> </header> <div class="message-content js-messageContent"> <div class="message-userContent lbContainer js-lbContainer " data-lb-id="post-41346556" data-lb-caption-desc="DAPUNISHER · Nov 28, 2024 at 2:12 AM"> <article class="message-body js-selectToQuote"> <div class="bbWrapper">This game sucked me in.

The dogs in SOC don't just attack you right away, unless you are in their direct line of sight.<br /> <br /> You can see npc's far off in the distance on patrols or fighting. Same with mutants fighting dogs or other NPC's they don't just immediately aggro you. <br /> <br /> I don't want to progress too far into stalker 2 until they get some patches in. One should be coming this week that will help with performance and memory optimization and it should also fix some of the later story missions. Those by mid game currently are soft locked and bugged out from what I've been reading in their official discord. <br /> <br /> Really not a fan of the AI behavior in Stalker 2. Cleared out a building of enemies to grab some loot. I go outside and across the yard and the enemies spawn behind me outside the house. Waste more ammo taking them out and collect their loot which was trash red weapons. <br /> <br /> Walk out of the yard again to go to the main road and 2 bloodsuckers spawn right next me on the left side. Wasted all the ammo I had gathered and basically went back to town with nothing but one yellow rated viper5 and a broomstick which I sold for like 400 coupons. <br /> <br /> They need to do something about the spawn system.</div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> </div> </div> <div class="reactionsBar js-reactionsList "> </div> <footer class="message-footer"> <div class="js-historyTarget message-historyTarget toggleTarget" data-href="trigger-href"></div> </footer> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article class="message message--post js-post js-inlineModContainer " data-author="Racan" data-content="post-41346757" id="js-post-41346757"> <span class="u-anchorTarget" id="post-41346757"></span> <div class="message-inner"> <div class="message-cell message-cell--user"> <section itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" class="message-user userExtra--expand"> <div class="message-avatar message-avatar--online"> <div class="message-avatar-wrapper"> <a href="/members/racan.314879/" class="avatar avatar--s avatar--default avatar--default--dynamic" data-user-id="314879" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" style="background-color: #9e9d24; color: #f4ff81"> <span class="avatar-u314879-s" role="img" aria-label="Racan">R</span> </a> <span class="message-avatar-online" tabindex="0" data-xf-init="tooltip" data-trigger="auto" title="Online now"></span> </div> </div> <div class="uix_messagePostBitWrapper"> <div class="message-userDetails"> <h4 class="message-name"><a href="/members/racan.314879/" class="username " dir="auto" data-user-id="314879" data-xf-init="member-tooltip"><span itemprop="name">Racan</span></a></h4> <h5 class="userTitle message-userTitle" dir="auto" itemprop="jobTitle">Golden Member</h5> </div> <div class="message-userExtras"> <dl class="pairs pairs--justified"> <dt> <span data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Joined"> <i class="fa--xf far fa-user" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> </dt> <dd>Sep 22, 2012</dd> </dl> <dl class="pairs pairs--justified"> <dt> <span data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Messages"> <i class="fa--xf far fa-comments" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> </dt> <dd>1,172</dd> </dl> <dl class="pairs pairs--justified"> <dt> <span data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Reaction score"> <i class="fa--xf far fa-thumbs-up" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> </dt> <dd>2,150</dd> </dl> <dl class="pairs pairs--justified"> <dt> <span data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Points"> <i class="fa--xf far fa-trophy" aria-hidden="true"></i> </span> </dt> <dd>136</dd> </dl> </div> </div> <span class="message-userArrow"></span> </section> </div> <div class="message-cell message-cell--main"> <div class="message-main uix_messageContent js-quickEditTarget"> <header class="message-attribution message-attribution--split"> <ul class="message-attribution-main listInline "> <li class="u-concealed"> <a href="/threads/stalker-2.2583342/post-41346757" rel="nofollow"> <time class="u-dt" dir="auto" datetime="2024-11-28T13:04:48-0500" data-time="1732817088" data-date-string="Nov 28, 2024" data-time-string="1:04 PM" title="Nov 28, 2024 at 1:04 PM" itemprop="datePublished">Thursday at 1:04 PM</time> </a> </li> </ul> <ul class="message-attribution-opposite message-attribution-opposite--list "> <li> <a href="/threads/stalker-2.2583342/post-41346757" class="message-attribution-gadget" data-xf-init="share-tooltip" data-href="/posts/41346757/share" aria-label="Share" rel="nofollow"> <i class="fa--xf far fa-share-alt" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> </li> <li> <a href="/threads/stalker-2.2583342/post-41346757" rel="nofollow"> #134 </a> </li> </ul> </header> <div class="message-content js-messageContent"> <div class="message-userContent lbContainer js-lbContainer " data-lb-id="post-41346757" data-lb-caption-desc="Racan · Nov 28, 2024 at 1:04 PM"> <article class="message-body js-selectToQuote"> <div class="bbWrapper">I’m not going to buy this game until some major patches are released.

I only have about 4hrs total. There is another patch that dropped today, 1.02. It fixes several quest related bugs that stop progression without that patch. <br /> <br /> I'm glad they nerfed the bloodsuckers health too. With how random enemies spawn near you, now maybe I won't mind as much if I can waste less ammo taking them down. <br /> <br /> Also in the beginning of the prologue before you scan the third spot, drop all your gear. You can go back and get it afterwards. Accidentally did that the first time and realized they expect you to not do that.</div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> </div> </div> <div class="reactionsBar js-reactionsList
