  If you didn’t knew, there is a unique scorpion (mp5) that shoots starting pistol ammo in the end of the tunnel in the part where you have to kill bandits behind the factory (just before the zone where you pass to the agropom zone)

  Guitar belongs top the dead loner stalker and there is a quest about it. The quest is based on a fan-fic novel that was written when the game was first released. There was a novel competition.

  Lol the barrel trick at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CFdbCaPPm8&amp;t=680">11:20</a> made me laugh. Imagine you&apos;re an innocent militant hippy, minding your own business, and Marked One starts casually rolling explosive barrels over to your post and, one by one, start painstakingly rolling them up the stairs and stacking them around you.<br>&quot;What are you doing, STALKER?&quot;<br>&quot;Nothing. Don&apos;t worry about it.&quot;<br>&quot;Oh, okay. Carry on.&quot;

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CFdbCaPPm8&amp;t=648">10:48</a> I&apos;ve always took a third option: help Duty infiltrate the base and steal the gun amid the crossfire since the guard guy goes away to participate in a fight. Sometimes he doesn&apos;t even return. It&apos;s fairly easy to do that without angering Freedom as a whole and they don&apos;t care about you looting their stash.

  To be honest, you could&apos;ve went for best weapon in your arsenal with these rules - Upgraded VLA Assault Rifle (slightly better accuracy than VLA, same damage output and you can use sniper scope on it - reward from defending Duty guy from bandits, one of initial missions you get by entering Dark Valley first time) by joining Duty and doing few of main quests from their leader after getting documents from Yantar. Other good weapon for usage has 2 Freedom guards accessing Freedom base from Red Forest side, not from exploded wall (those actually are superior to Sniper TR301 Rifle. Prev. saw guy mentioned in Garbage tunnel, where train is, at the end of tunnel there lays stalker who has in inventory was MP5 gun - upgrade that uses 9mm ammo I would say cheap gun for long run. Just in case you are wondering about improvements on guns. For armor, Ghost suit ain&apos;t that bad of a choice due to it&apos;s healing abilities, however choice of freedom one (lighter, more bulletproof cap) ain&apos;t bad either during Red Forest arc. Great choice, Sir.<br><br>So, I&apos;m impressed you died so few times with unique equipment alone in CNPP/CNPP2 and Brain Scorcher areas. Keep it up, man!

  If you didn&apos;t know, there is a special shotgun at the start of the game if you kill military soldiers until you get &quot;By a country road&quot; stash, which has a unique TOZ. It is the only one in the game due to it&apos;s unique ID and name, so by technicality it is the same as the martha pistol despite it being the same as &quot;Hunting Shotgun&quot; from the bar quest. It has the highest shotgun damage in the game. I&apos;d also told you about this on your shotgun only challenge aswell, have you seen the shotgun yet?<br><br>You are also able to get a unique army suit from the Barman if you give him a nightstar like sid.

  This reminds me of when I was a child and played this game even though I didn&apos;t really know how. I remember the fast AK. I always used it for a long time, even when the nato guns became available. But as the gun degraded, the crosshair got wider and the weapon more ineffective for me, cause I didn&apos;t even aim down sights until I had a scope. I always low crouched for best accuracy cause I probably saw it in some video and figured it&apos;s the most effective way lol.<br><br>Anyways, because I didn&apos;t have a way to repair the gun, I had to switch at some point. I think the fact that you can&apos;t repair equipment in this game gives it some advantages which the later titles lack. I&apos;m not trying to say it&apos;s realistic cause like hell it is, but it&apos;s always given me a sense of urgency, a constant layer to progress, and I like that it forced me to find new gear, cause maybe it was a different suit to try out, which I wouldn&apos;t have batted an eye on if I could keep one suit repaired and upgrade it and make it mine like in cop and thus make mostly anything I find useless.<br><br>Having my own equipment that is always in tip top condition due to how abundant money is in vanilla stalker made me feel too secure for how hostile and aggressive the zone portrays itself to be. SOC is the only stalker game where you don&apos;t have this sense of superiority as much, cause any enemy may drop a gun in better condition than yours, and so the field is more level.<br><br>I don&apos;t play videogames much anymore although they were a huge part of my life, for better or worse. Thanks for the nicely done video that&apos;s brought me down the memory lane.
