TRUE STALKER: New Updates, Tips & Tools location 

- 1.4 just came out with more bug fixes, all links in the vid description. Install is the same, just copy the patches in your main game folder one after the other!

I'm really surprised no-one's talking about the branching paths of the quests. Definitely the most pleasant surprise for me going in blind.

Pro tips from a guy that already finished the game 2 times and I start the 3rd. When u start the game farm as much money as possible through used guns and artifacts. Put them in stashes, always travel light don't get involved in killing dumb mutants (they will always have the same spawning point). Carry batteries with you and meds. Sell as much as you can and buy the freedom exo from the guy in garbage as soon as possible. Don't waste money on gun modifications because soon you will get pretty good gear + you will get nice guns from stashes as well. Always KEEP the really good artifacts and carry them with you all the time even if you don't use them because there are quests where are a lot of anomalies and u need some protection. Again, try and get the exo as soon as possible because when u will have to exit dark valley after u finish the quest in the underneath lab you will have to leave in a weird map with an weird strong controller who will kill you really quick if you are not prepared. Also it will be annoying because he will teleport you back. (If you need help to find him, just comment me so I don't spoil to soon). Also if some of you need to know some special locations for really good guns let me know. Most of them are close to end game but they still can be used. Especially in the end game, they will help you a lot. ALSO I forgot, try to farm the Pelicle artifact (If i remember correctly this is it's name). It's an really OP artifact found in the chemical anomalies. Its an really OP artifact that will help you a lot throughout the game especially in the underneath labs, in the quest leaving dark valley and farming other artifacts.

One tip for new players: If you come across Sweeper and then later have to grab the military radio under the tunnel, do it. Because I didn't get the cutscene because I waited for too long. Don't kill the poltergeists either before you talk to the technician in Cordon. These two scenarios caused my storyline to stagnate and had to restart from scratch almost.

I honestly hadn't heard of this mod until it came out but it's been an absolute treat so far.

Thanks for the highlight, it really was a good experience, you where a nice creator to find too looking to the future.

The agroprom tech does all the upgrades I noticed after I turned them into the cordon tech, so I imagine if you didnt find the tools he'd still upgrade all your stuff but I could be mistaken. But this mightve changed in the new update as well

Got covid this christmas, but I saw your introduction of this mod and it made the otherwise sad holidays so much better! Thank you for that ❤ I'm loving the mod so far, it feels super fresh. I'm having trouble finding the diggers camp for the locked safe quest in Garbage right now, but hopefully I'll figure it out soon.

Important tip: found out that most wooden crates have dedicated loot, rather than randomized. I got a Freedom scientific suit in the bandit base, deagle in the Agroprom swamp

Im pretty sure the new updates fixed the Poltergeist quest in the new village map, before i couldnt unlock the safe in the car and thanks to your video and the patches i could finish the quest and get some really nice rewards. Thanks Cheeki.

I would love a playthrough, so far I'm not struggling with the game (appart from the download) but just for the fun content. Love your style, keep going 😊

Walkthrough would be awesome, thank you for all tips

First time playing Stalker is going to be thru this. Feels kinda insane. No tutorial so far, most of my knowledge is based on your Invictus runs over the years.

I'd enjoy watching your playthrough of this mod, because your voice is quite therapeutic.

That stash in the stuffed mutant reminds me of similar one from either Fotograf or Golden Sphere. Good projects and this one also looks promising.

I'd like to watch a full playthrough of this from you! You are very entertaining and your editing is great!!

It hurts me deep inside to see you carelessly stepping into those anomalies! :D

thank you for all the tips man . love it

The shared stashes and the sidearm slot are the two things that I really, really missed in the vanilla games.

can anyone help me. my game works fine with launching it but getting into the actual game I crash on direct X 9 but not direct X 10 or 11 anyone know why?

2 additional tips, there is a RPG7 with 2 rockets under a bed in the bloodsucker village in army warehouses. and during the "battle royal" you can find a free exoskeleton in an air duct on the floor.

A great combo that works a lot for me: kill all the mutants and grab all their stuff, also go through all the anomalies and get their artifacts. Stash everything in the closest shared stash and go to the Bar. Take the missions barman gives you - they are mutant parts and artifacts. He pays you more money and also gives you items for these quest rewards.

Not sure if people know this, but if you're struggling to spot items, hold your use key and the name of said item will appear. Default is "F".

excellent advices, especially about personal storage. Notice that your area looks darker and more autumnal, mine looks very summer and spring, are you using any environment or wather mod?

It reminds me a bit of LostAlpha, which is a good thing.

if you give all tool to Yurok, it will unlock upgrading for all technician

Now we need the video about armours and weapons 😉😎. Its hard to order suit for a few k of rubels not knowing its stats 🖖🤷🏼

mate now game crashing at chapter 8 loading screen when we go dead or lost city where merc base is

Everz time i try to open the settings my game crashes does anyone know how i can fix this

Do I install all 5 bin files and the ts setup exe or what? I am confused on the installation.

Do you have any tips for increasing performance? I wasn't able to find the balanced settings for performance and quality, and I'm getting fps drops and stutters especially in crowded areas.

I wouldn't mind watching a series where you cover the various ways you can approach the objectives.

i bought assault suit very early, i didnt really buy anything at the beginning so i had a lot of money and i didnt know if i could run in exoskeleton and if not if i can upgrade it to be able to run, the technician in agroprom doesnt need any tools and he can do all the upgrades so when you get to that point and you dont have the tools you dont need them anymore, and dont buy guns, you will find great weapons all the tine in stash or on stalkers, they cary AS VAL, VSS, etc. i found SG550 and Groza in stashes...

This game has me in a chokehold bro I have 14 hours in 2 days on True Stalker, also i'm on a winter break so i got no school, it's so addicting 😭

Thanks for the link to the patches. I have now patched all the way to 1.4. Hopefully that will help.

You have to give Tools to Technician to upgrade or rapair items. Carying them in the Backpack doesn't work

I need help, maybe someone reads this: how do I zoom in with variable zoom optics (Elcan Spectr 1x/4x)?

are we going to get a playthrough from you of this mod? hopefully.

I tried the mod and when i was fighting the military under the bridge, i shot the helmetless dude in the head with an AK and he just flinched and didnt even aggro me. (same thing happened with other pistols + it was on master difficulty btw) These extremely bad bugs in the basic combat itself turned me off and i just stopped playing, because it was either i fight the military or the squad of 5000 tushkanos at the mill.. There was just nothing to get excited about and im sorry to say that, because the mod really did look promissing and i am a big fan of stalker. And despite the game looking a lot worse than Gamma, it actually performs much worse for me. Might give it another go later on, but right now i really dont see the point.

If the game says that it’s saving but isn’t, run the game in Administrator Mode. Windows 11 won’t let it write files otherwise.

This is a weird error. My game won't start at all, even though I disabled my virus protector. tried multiple times, playing sound in the background, but nothing works. just keeps saying openal can't create Even got the game updated

hey my game crashes when i try to open the setting/options any fix or similar problems? other than that game works but its annoying

Could you know why when I hit play and game to 100% it crashes and remove graphic card program

Need help fellow stalkers. When i want to go to options (main menu or mid play) the game freezes in crashes to desktop. Any advice?

Question: how and where to find the 3 stalkers for the Agroprom code quest?

Im having a bit of a problem, if i download it from google disk every file seems to be okay except for the ts_setup.exe basically it has 0kb and I cant even open it cuz it says that its not found, and automatically deletes it from my PC....any help..? or someone experienced it ???

"Grenade his face." LOL. The Master was a pain.

The reason why enemies feel very bully spongy, is because assault rifles only do 10-13 damage per shot, while most.pistols do between 17-19, and shotguns are between 55-75, and kill most things in one shot..later Weapons like the SVD do 100+. It's messed up damage value,

Sound issues anyone else? I have 5.1 speakers but game running in stereo mode? and yes other games/films are running in 5.1 with no issue.

I actually ran right past both the advanced and expert tools and that backpack in the x18 lab I really thought there was nothing special in it 😂

Need help with finding materials from garbage underground which cordon technician needs ??

how do you install it? i cant at all..i got it through google drive and it just show ts_setup and the 2-5 but when i try to start it, it just asks for a disk and i try to select the setups but it wont work.

Where can I download this demo? I looked everywhere on Mod db and only found the patches... looks great, I've been playing Clear Sky with the Complete Mod... the mission spawn points are weird but it plays ok. Came back to Anomaly with a clean install and update to 1.5.2, and just enjoying vanilla Anomaly experience as a Merc. What a legendary game! SALUTE TO THE DEVS! AND TO YOU CHEEKI BREEKI! ⚡️⚡️

I have a consistent bug after "killing the master" I walk out of the tunnel and the cutscene doesn't trigger, I've reloaded even before that entire level and did the entire "heist" and broke out the stalker yet still the cutscene doesn't trigger I just spawn on the normal overworld with it saying "Escape to the surface" *quick edit* I'm playing on 1.4 but also had the bug one the normal 1.0

Really appreciate the effort that went into this mod and it is awesome except for the excessive amount of cut scenes, I'm going to pass on this one and wait and see if the modding community fixes it. I'm glad other people really like it.

Hey HO! Do you use Reshade on TRUE STALKER and when yes which ??? THX Sir!

getting a error anyone had the same problem_

Hello I have a problem with this mod. I did all the missions in cordon but I cant leave. When I approach the exit to Garbage its says PASSAGE IS BLOCKED. What did I done wrong What is happening?

Cheeki, I wanna know… how does weapon customization work? Is it primitive just like in GAMMA, where you need specific kits and whatnot?

Is there a Duty exoskeleton in this mod? I know that you can buy the regular one and Freedom one from the smuggler in Garbage, but so far im on the chapter 5 and I havent come across one yet.

About personal stashes, people really can't read nowadays?, like you get a tutorial note at the beginning of the mod about them in your PDA.

1.4 update, unable to give the upgrade gun kits to the duty repair man. Im thinking you have to give it to the original guy to unlock all.

Hey guys, I think I found an easter egg: In dark Valley, next to the calibration tools, there's a small cabin with a gas truck nearby, there Will be a broken Window to Jump inside and behind the lockers there Is a poster with some stalker guys

i have a question my dear stalker. i dont know but if can be posible "true stalker" with screen space shaders 19 ( the new wind tree effect is ozom , amaizing in deed... ) can be posible?

Acha que foi o antivírus que apagou a engenie do game?

You answered the "give tools to technician?" question completely wrong. There are multiple other technicians later in the game and they will either only be able to repair or they will be able to to all mods without tools. It's just the Cordon technician who ever needs those tools.

Will there be an Invictus episode this week or are you taking a well-deserved break? You’re the only youtuber I watch regularly, your videos are amazing, and I can’t wait to see more of the Invictus run. Love from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿

WHERE IS THE BACKPACK STASH AT VEHICLE STATION IN CORDON?? I have been looking for so long Im convinced its bugged

fuck, the gamzat stash was so helpful. I have been down there for almost an hour.

is this game more streamlined than anomaly/gamma? i wanna get into these games due to the atmosphere but the million healing items and wounds mechanic and the confusing weapon repair always put me off, just wanna shoot stuff and explore and experience the story....sorry i'm not a hardcore gamer and i'm usually too tired to learn complex games these days

Ok so freedom exoskeleton comes with servoboosters upgrade so you can run with it right away, dont know about regular one but i imagine its not upgraded... freedom one costs 117000RU you can get it pretty early if you dont buy anything and save all the artefacts etc. you dont need to but ammo meds or food you have a LOT of this from loot, and also guns are pletifull and you get special versions througout the game so no need to spen money on that either, so my tip is to save money for exo and then its ez game

The game is so brutal and minimal room for error, anytime you make it back from a quest you feel so accomplished XDDD

Ao instalar o patch 3 ele apagou a minha engenie o que acha que pode ter sido?

regarding the difficulty: in original stalker, the high difficulty = higher damage universally is a myth. is it actually true in this mod?

you could Say. The Story with Axe left me hanging

Is there silencer to attach to weapons? i've been trying to find one, no luck yet. :((

anyone know if the artifacts respawn?

Cara, ainda não experimentei esse mod, mas ele parece muito vivo. Refrescante ver outros traders.

Where I can buy scopes?Is it possible to buy them (or get them) in Cordon?

Does anyone have any ideas what todo with the bandit stash key you get from sergeant lyubeznov?

Is there a debug menu in this game? I can't find it.

Any1 else does have no weapon sounds but all other sounds are working?

I have a problem with this mod and need help. When I trye to leave the cordon map despite finishing all quests from Sidorovich I get the massage the the PASSAGE IS BLOCKED. What should I do?

It would be a treat if you did a True Stalker series after you finish your ongoing Invictus run.

Hey @CheekiBreekiTv! thanks fot the tips but have you ever encountered this error when installing the game? it keeps showing "OpenAl: Cant create sound device". i hope you can find a way to explain how i should fix this error. i already tried to reinstall it but no avail.

A few of my nitpicks are with the UI, the ingame font is very small. As well as the status icons. Other than that, I'm having a great time with this mod.

does anyone know how to escape the catacombs after robbing the bandit base in dark valley? Am stuck on the part where the entity keeps teleporting me back to the start.

I just need a way to disable Head Bob.. It was too much, I couldn't get into it with that forced bob.. Any advice? Maybe a console command I'm missing?

i can only find the patches, not the main mod :(

save game? Is new game required after installing the 3 patches?

Question. I haven't downloaded true stalker yet, I want to but if I do do I have to install all patches? Or do I just install the latest one?

8:52 I thought Higher difficulty=Higher weapon damage that was myth, does this mod change that?

Salut Cheeki, j'ai une question. Je suis coincé sur le jeu. J'ai ramassé 3 artefact, pensant les revendre, masi je peux pas les revendre, ni même les déposer dans un coffre. Le problème c'est qu'elles sont radioactif. Et je crève avec au bout de 4-5min. Qu'est ce que je dois en faire ??? Ou je peux les revendre ou les stocker ?

Where to find the Moonlight arti?

Might be a dumb question but can stashes be found through exploring or it's mandatory to buy the coordinates for them to become lootable?

The fact that both this mod and the Gunslinger mod they took from are keeping the handling stat is absurd. It's almost 2024 now and some people still think messing with the player's sensitivity is cool

I wanna see a full playthrough

still learning on how to install the game

Cheeki Breeki has been sneeki!

do a walkthrough. please and thank you.
