What happened here? Was the muzzle through the hitbox? I obviously expected the Mosin shot to kill this Mimic, it didn't work out that way.

Ok Levelled up my security and when checking out the new weapons. I see a new CHP ammunition. Cool. Must be good in some way. So I check it out. Copper Hollow point. 80% damage. It seems to have less stats than everything else. Standard FMJ ammo seems to be better.
So what’s the deal. Is it lighter or cheaper or something? Or as it’s a hollow point will it do more damage to un armoured targets? When will I need to fill up a backpack with CHP ammo over FMJ?

Ok so I’m still kinda new to this game and playing through the first game at the moment. (Loving it by the way. Can’t wait to start on the second one when I’ve finished the first). I’ve just hit the 3 or possibly 4th map. (The one were the left hand path from the base opens up). And whilst exploring there is some sort of shadow tank or armoured vehicle that’s driving around the map with a search light. At first it was impossible for me to get past it. But I’ve worked out its path and have started making my way around it. But it’s still annoying when I’m doing something and I get a surprise cannon sell up my *** because it circled around.

My first thought when seeing this is. Dam. I didn’t see any RPG’s in the shop. I don’t even know if this game has RPG’s. I wonder if just regular grenades would work. But before I spend the next 20 hours trying to fund myself to equip enough grenades to cause a mini apocalypse. Can these tanks actually be killed. Permanently. Or well Until the next tide?

Normally I would just turn off random anomaly rate or something like that in the settings and all those annoying fields and electric cubes would be completely gone but to my surprise everything remains with it on now. Did they change this?

I’m part of the Facebook ITR2 groups and a guy recently posted. I’m going to copy and paste it here.

“My nephew (call sign BlazePool) and I have been playing ITR2 on quest since it came out. Ran as far as we could on multiple runs. The last one we had over 50hrs of play. He only had quest so I recently started a PC run with my son. Was just waiting for quest 1.0 to start a new run with my nephew.

I just found out this morning my nephew past away last night. He had been battling brain cancer.

I don’t know if I can ever play again. If I do I think Lauri will hit too hard.

He was 45 years old. Rest in peace BlazePool. I will see you at the center of the Radius.”

I find this so sad and devastating. It got me thinking, would it be possible for the Dev’s to put a ghost explorer with the name “Explorer 45” for the age his nephew passed away at. Or maybe name it “Blazepool”. I was imagining an explorer ghost in part of a map that is out of the way so it doesn’t confuse explorers, while also honoring Blazepools memory. I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask. I Love the game no matter what they choose to do.

I know i may seem like a nag. But its been ages. I know its a pain in the butt for standalone. But I'm just bored with quest ITR2 right now.

I would love it if we could walk past Lauri and re-enter the in-between. The maps are built, there is loot and enemies in them, just leave the lamps still turned on with Lauri not appearing. Clearly effort was put into those areas so it would be cool to revisit, especially given their unique atmospheric. Having the extra space/ map area would also help with keeping the game fresh considering there are no current plans for more maps.

Does anyone know of a reliable, unchanging portal route to get to the Outskirts faster? The walk through the forest is getting dull after the 15th time.

Many Explorers have perished attempting to charge supercapacitors. Here's everything you need to know to charge supercapacitors safely(ish) and help maintain the UNPSC's energy independence.

So i just finished ITR2 for the first time. Upon accepting the last mission, i was given the portal device with the lid that opens on top, and to start the mission i think had to find the portal anomaly to put on top of the device. I found the anomaly, loaded the decvice, but in the end I didnt need it during the mission, and after the mission was over, I still have the portal device loaded with the anomaly. What is the device for? Is it related to the small island in the outskirts? I never did figure out that Lauri side quest, something about finding the portal on the island.

I know, big corporation bad, but lemme cook for a second.

We start the game by being introduced to both the UNPSC and Lauri, and immediately, with the way Lauri speaks, it's very clear the game wants you to feel either conflicted or against working with the UNPSC. I can't be the only person here that just... Didn't feel that way, right?

The UNPSC are associated with the UN, it's right there in the name. They aren't a for-profit org looking to exploit the anomalies, they're a governing body trying to figure out what the hell's going on. They don't have all the answers, and have already made headway into making countermeasures against these anomalies and ways to gather data about them to then develop better, more effectives ones.

Lauri wants us to escape because... Why? We might die a lot and go insane? I just don't feel this level of threat to my character, as there's no noticeable sign that makes that apparent. I die and just go get my stuff, and the deaths are so few and far between that the risk is basically not there, and only getting smaller with better equipment, which is provided by, you guessed it, the UNPSC.

I don't think they're some "big bad evil corporation grrrr" level threat. I think they're a researching body trying to figure out a way out of this mess, and one that's been given access to a uniquely-equipped tool to be able to do that with the Altered. They don't die permanently, but when they do it enough times, they go insane. Obviously, this isn't ideal for anyone, so they actively do their best to keep you from going insane.

Under scrutiny, Lauri's whole message of "don't do their bidding, they're just using you" isn't really all that sound to me. They're using me because they don't have a choice, and either I leave the radius and die anyway, or I actually contribute something to the good of the world and help their research out, as I'm uniquely equipped to do anyway. It just doesn't sit right with me that Lauri wants us to leave so bad.

Sure, the UNPSC isn't perfect, and they've done some questionable things, but they're doing them for reasonable purposes. Sending folks into distortion zones without equipment? How are they supposed to make that equipment without data? Plus, they'll just come right back anyway. Initiating by blowing me up? Well, they needed proof, and if they'd told me, I wouldn't have agreed. They know that, so the best way to make sure is to just... Set it up and go.

I just can't understand his reason. It feels short-sighted and selfish. If anyone has any differing opinions, feel free to leave them here, I'd love to hear the other side of the argument.

Here’s a question, how come the stone people at the church have an accent that reflects residence from Pechorsk but no one or nothing else does?
