A good way to make money with this, is to put all the loot in the body of a soldier, then drag it all the way to the stalker town, put it on the stash besides Wolf and sell said guns in the Clear Sky (you can sell stuff for way more money) base by fast traveling.
If you use the body of one of the military guys, follow the fence to the fallen tree, make a left and head up to the tree stump (hidden cache). From there you can head to the village and use the footlocker next to Wolf for storage. Using the body and dragging it out allows you to loot everything (pistols/pistol ammo) which adds up.
Reminder: Every so often, the military guys WILL NOT respawn. When this happens, simply find some mutant to kill like the ones that spawn in between Sidirovich and the military outpost. Other than that, it's a fast way to lather, rinse, repeat and make tons o monay!
There's also a chest near the fence where you dropped the guns, you can store everything there. I remember playing vanilla Clear Sky back in the day, ammo and weapons were the best way to make money. There was also no sleeping bag so I would leave the game running throughout the night and when I wake up, 2-3 in game days would have passed lol. Which meant the military chest is FULL of ammo, I'm talking about 20-30+ kgs of 5.45, 5.56, even 3x39 ammo I think. Selling all that would get me tens of thoussands of rubles. Great video!
I believe this location is the most profitable: At agropom, near the entrance close to hermit's, in the loners' base, bandits will continuously attack the loners. You can obtain a great amount of loot from both fallen loners and bandits, including Vintars, AKMs, TR-301s, and IL-86s. A single fight between the two can easily get you enough loot to sell to the nearby trader at the base, earning you a about 10k. Remember to stack all the loot onto a single body and drag it to the trader. In less than an hour, you can get about 80k-100k.
Good advice! Just don't do like the follow up video I made for this though and end up stacking a body full of stuff and have the game engine delete it on ya! :P
Update: I decided to try and make a video of the "use a body, fill em up and drag em" approach. I didn't even get it fully recorded before I was reminded why it doesn't really help much: Bodies disappear randomly. Sometimes you can go back a dozen times in a row and a body will be there, sometimes they'll disappear the first time you leave an area and come back. So, I found a particular body I liked, dragged him into a hidden spot on the opposite side of the machine gun nest and started loading him up. My VERY last loop of "leave area, respawn, come back, shoot them all, loot, fill body, repeat", I went to drop the rest onto the guy and drag him and POOF! He was gone. He was gone and my 30-40 rifles, grenades, etc, were all gone with him. *sad face*
(Vanilla PC, haven't tested on Console) when taking The Compass back to Forester, as soon as you say "I have the Artifact" back out of the conversation and talk to him again, repeat the dialog "I've got the Artifact" he will keep giving you Vintar BC's if you back out after receiving it
@@ZONDER228 I had quite the pile 🤣 I spent an hour and 30 ish minutes making trips back and forth to Sidrovich (gave me the most RU) I eventually got tired and just stashed the remaining 107 in a stash box in the Camp near Caper in the Red Forest in front of Foresters hideout. I sold them all the next day. In my terrible quality Let's Play (episode 8&9) I do the whole process
And yes, the thumbnail/intro IS a gigantic pile of d3@d bodies. I got tired of checking the same guys with nothing on them, so I started clearing, then piling them in the middle. At one point, I probably had 50 of these poor buggers piled up. But, they have stuff I can sell and they never stop coming so it's totally NOT my fault. :)
Awesome! Just be aware, the "put it all on a body and carry it" thing can be tricky. I haven't gotten around to doing that video, but I was actually going to make a follow up on this and only got about 4 "cycles" of spawns done and the body I was using to dump the guns/ammo into vanished in front of me. :) I think it's safer to just dump em on the ground and carry them. Hope ya like the game! Also, in case you don't know this yet, the mechanic/gun guy at the freedom base seems able to do pretty much anything as far as upgrades and without having to find upgrade info for him so making money with this and using him (and the freedom base guy), you can rapidly upgrade one of early shooters like I was using here. Hope you're liking the game and thanks for commenting!
I used the same approach until I figured out I could just store all the loot on a dead soldier then carry him to the trade post at Cordon. Yeah, it takes a bit of time to carry him and sometimes your character will drop him, but it's a one trip only. Great content bro always nice to see someone adding value as well as still playing this game. I love the STALKER series, I also think CS looks the best out of all of them. Looking forward to more uploads.
Thanks! :) I'm still sad about my follow up video though. I was going to fill hundreds of guns into a single body and drag it back. He vanished after I got like 50 guns on him. *sad panda*. Ah well.
@@GamingHelp It's a concept some of us old-school zoners came up with back in 2012. Fellow zoner WTFSexyHeadphones and muhself have been trying to rekindle interest in them. Here's an example of one of mine done in the Anomaly mod: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ug3Xk0YT3ug.html
I honestly hadn't considered it, but I sure could! I just downloaded metro exodus so I might make more for that as well. I'm honestly surprised anyone would want me to considering I made the channel purely for helping people develop aim and PvP skills! Maybe it would be a good pivot. What sort of stuff were you thinking?
I'm not sure what ABR stands for, but moving out of the area to trigger new replacements seems to be what despawns them. And not ALL of them either. It's a weird sort of random despawning from what I've noticed.
