    Yeah, the over-under rifle, the TOZ-34 is a great gun, better even than the SPAS-12 I've got. It's got great damage and accuracy, and even though it only holds 2 shots it reloads really quick. I just wish it could take a scope. And yeah, I think it's only buyable in OL. It's actually in the vanilla game's files, but for whatever reason it's not available.

    It's also available if you have Stoll's mod pack installed.

    I hate this Freedom/Duty quest. I've had it bug out twice. Each time it said to kill the duty squad, and I did, but then it didn't update or anything.

    I saw that happen once. Poor thing shot off into the horizon at around Mach 12.

    I tried OL once, but found it frustrating with the huge increase in enemies and difficulty. Especially since it would often end up affecting quest characters as well.

    I'm just sticking with Stoll's pack now. That just fixes stuff that was a bit broken and makes things a little more convenient without actually changing the core gameplay.

    I'm liking this version of OL, I seem to remember playing a mod before that I think was oblivion lost, and it just keep being like LOL ZOMBIE BEHIND YOU! every 5 minutes, it made getting through the tunnels impossible. Because they were super zombies that just absorbed bullets and pretty much kill you in one hit.

    My biggest problem with OL is the power plant; they change it from just pretty challenging to ass-rapingly difficult. Dwarves pretty much everywhere, as well as bloodsuckers and monolith troopers. Way too hard; I had to cheat to beat it.

    I thought I was supposed to have some sort of psi protection when trying to shut down the emitter in x16? Am I supposed to be taking lots of damage when I get to the final area? I was under the impression that the doc gave me something, but I'm definitely not protected..

    Don't you have the psi helmet headset thingamabobber? You get it right after you do the mission with Krugalov to take radiation measurements. Or did you get the gimped version?

    I got no psi headset, I did no radiation stuff. When I got to Yantar, I went to go see them, and Kruglov never offered me any missions. When I got there he went out to go do something, and all I could ever say to him was "see yah." Eventually I wandered into the base where the psi emissions are, and somehow ended up in x16.

    Maybe I should start yantar over?

    I have now reached the same area I was at on my old PC that couldn't run the game for shit. the "family rifle" quest has just been turned in and I'm searching for a radiation suit.

    I love STALKER.

    Yeah, I had to keep eating/healing on the way into both the Scorcher and the Emitter. Once you get downstairs on your way to the Emitter, you shouldn't be hurting until you reach the main room, where it picks up again. As for the Scorcher, once you get inside the damage stops entirely.

    Yeah, pretty much.

    Except that you can't.

    YOU CAN'T ESCAPE.

    Well, unless you use the autosave file.

    I actually found the minigun kind of useless, because you pretty much have to be
    wearing an exoskeleton to carry any appreciable amount of ammo for it, and that screws you in high radiation levels. Plus, it's inaccurate as hell.
    . I just stuck with the F2000 and the Vintorez.

    Question for you dudes, how big an issue is ammo? Should I not really worry about it too much? Seems like most enemies are equiped with what I'm using so going with the newest, coolest assault rifle doesn't hurt.

    Depends on your playstyle. Reading the Zombie Survival Guide and all sorts of discussion on the topic's imbued me with a single-shot/three-round burst habit, and I can usually squeek by with about ~300 rounds for a good-length sojourn. Stuff that uses the 7.62 ammo used by all the AK guns is always good to have around because you'll find craploads of it.

    To be honest I totally forget. I'm tempted to say it was from a quest from the Barkeep, but I couldn't tell you for sure.

    It really isn't worth it, though.

    The ZSG is basically the penultimate survival guide: if you can survive a zombie apocalypse, you're pretty much capable of surviving anything.
