STALKER: Call of Pripyat

Ah, that would explain a few things... i wasn't using my detector, figured there was no point if i was in an area that an artifact should be in plain sight ><

even with your detector out they only aprear within a few feet.

get at least the second level detector (the one with a round screen)

rather than trying with the very first one.
 
All i've got is the Echo 1 you start with and 'Bear' or whatever it was. Guess i should keep a look out, i've got the Basic and Fine tools which has been taking up a lot of my money so i've not really had more since i hit ~25k, some artifacts would definatly help.

Whats up with the guy who keeps claiming all the orders are his anyway? What difference does it make if you hand it over or keep it?
 
A couple of questions.
- What do I need to do further at crash site 5, I need to find the source of the electical interference but where?
- I found about 8 different artifacts but they all raise radiation, are there artifacts that lower radiation anywhere?
- Some missions don't offer a waypoint like 'find a stalker named ......' but who should I ask for info, who knows anything?

get yourt self one of the round oneseither from a dead stalker or you can buy one from owl for about 300.

ah yeah the bear one is that one, use that and ditch the echo one.

You mean beard the bar keep?

He's not claiming the artefacts are his, you can sell them to owl if you like but beard makes a new request for 3 high level artefacts every day and pays a lot more for them than owl (8-10k+ more).

You can still keep it if it's one you like just wait untill the next day for the new list or go searching for the other 2 on it.

But the other stalkers are doing the same thing.

Don't worry about it till you've investigated all the crash sites, just ignore it it comes up in the main quest line later.

Yeah there are, bubble is the best and can be found in strong chemical anomalies and then there's the more comon jelly fish which is in gravity based ones iirc try around the dredging station or the claw anomaly (mind the snorks)

- Some missions don't offer a waypoint like 'find a stalker named ......' but who should I ask for info, who knows anything?

Speak to stalkers under the "can i ask you somthing" but usually you bump into them sooner or later during the main quest.
 
Jellyfish is -2 Radiation
Wreched is -3 Radiation
Bubble is -4 Radiation

Just have to find them in anomalies.

I meant Nimbles weapons/armour.

Not had much luck yet with Beards lists. Seems i've scrounged all the artifacts from Zaton, at least ones in the mapped anomalies, and a trip back after an emission found nothing new. Oh well, headed to near Jupiter, my only problem now is my main guns are running out of ammo and it costs an arm and a leg.

oh the guy who claims your gun etc is his is a quest go speak to nimble about him.


as for artefacts just sleep for a couple of blowouts and everywhere will be filled back up.
 
When I use the AtmosFear mod I get lots of stuttering so I just have the blowout bit installed, is there a certain setting I should lower when using it or just tone everything down.

Ah figured i should. Oh well, decided to start again, think i'll buy the Shotgun and Sniper Rifle from him. As for the emissions, how often do they actually occur? Is it regularly or just random?
 
Thanks.

Anyone have any ideas why the Dx10.1 option isnt available to me?

It's either a bug for ATI cards or there is no option for 10.1, only DX10 or DX11.

For everyone else asking about anomolies, here are a 3 good places to look:

Caves under Burning Village - at least one, sometime as many as 4 there.
Iron Forest - usually 2-3 amongst the electric anomalies (watch for the poltergeist).
Circus anomaly - usually 2 artifacts.

Most of the other anomalies on the first map have 1-2 artifacts (boiler, oak pine etc..).

When i left for the second map i had already upgraded everything i own fully to tier 2, i had something like 80 med kits/anti-rads etc.. over 1000 5.56mm rounds and over 120,000 rubles. Finding artifacts is 100% worth the time and effort in STALKER games!

He sells three "close range weapons" (2 shotguns + 1 .45 smg) and 3 sniper rifles so save before you order and reload and reorder til lyou get the one you want :p


The drum shottie can be made full auto at t2 and can mount a susat scope.

emissions are at random times but at least once a day.
 
Hmm, i was thinking it was a bit longer than that, guess i forget how slowly time travels.

And i have no idea what 'i want' to be fair, i just want a Sniper and Shotgun but i've no idea how they compare. Guess i'll have a look at a few of them. Its just a pain that ammo seems to cost an arm and a leg.

On a side note, i forgot what 'nightime' really means in a game...
 
You shouldn;lt really need to buy any amy.

Shotgun amo comes freely from bandits all over the place and if you get your main weapon chambered to take the Russian ammo you can easily get thousands of rounds of that.

Plus with some artifacts going for 20k + to the barkeep 1-2 runs of the first area with a veles detector will see you with 100k+ in one go.
