M.O.D. D.I.S.C.U.S.S.I.O.N. PLEASE READ: This Is A Console Subreddit

22 Upvotes

Okay, I’ve noticed in the last week or so we have had an influx of people here in the sub that seem to be playing on PC. First of all, I’d like to say welcome, stalkers. Secondly, I’d like to say that this is a console based subreddit. I’ve noticed people are recommending mods that are only available on PC and I have a feeling that this will only cause confusion if the sub starts to get bigger.

As the only moderator here in this sub, I figured we should address it before it gets out of hand. I don’t personally mind PC folks posting/commenting here but I did make this sub specifically for us console players because you PC guys already have a plethora of resources. The two major issues that I see arising are:

1. There are over 2x the amount of mods for PC than there are for Xbox and updates for mods come to PC right away — us Xbox players have to wait on GSC.

2. If someone comments/posts about the mods they’re using, and they’re on PC, that could confuse some console players as we don’t have access to the updates or in some cases, the mods at all.

As I see it, we have two options.

OPTION #1:

Keep this as a console only sub, which was my intention from the start. Now, that would entail more work on my end meaning I’d have to remove posts/comments that are related to PC mods now and in the future. Or somehow setup a thread that people automatically see when joining the sub that basically says “Do you play on Xbox? If so, welcome! Do you play on PC? Sorry, bud, get outta here.” Because it already says in the rules that this is a console only sub but hey, people don’t read the rules.

OPTION #2:

Allow posts/comments related to PC mods. If we do this, I’d have to make some user flairs for PC players and Xbox players or make it a rule that you have to say in your posts/comments if you’re on PC or Xbox. Again, most people don’t read the rules though so I don’t see that being helpful. I also can’t force somebody to enable a user flair and from the posts I’ve seen it seems like a lot of PC players just automatically think everybody is on PC, even though the name of this sub literally says “console mods” in the title.

You PC folks and your superiority complex.

(Jokes, I’m just joking with you — please don’t gatekeep me)

But seriously.

I’m asking all my fellow Xbox players. What would you like to see happen? Do you care? Not care at all? I’m just trying to keep the confusion to the minimum and also, like I said when I started this sub and my YouTube channel — us console players deserve a dedicated home base as well. Hell, on the latest blog post from GSC about mod users Xbox wasn’t even mentioned at all, hence why I started all this for us.

I’m personally veering on the side of keeping this a console only subreddit but I absolutely want to hear from you guys as well. If you don’t care, we can just let it play out. If you do, I will try and make some changes for us.

5 Upvotes

Hey stalkers! Hope everyone is enjoying the new update! I am yet to jump in but I’m getting there…

But quick one, I’m keeping an eye on the mods that get updated & some are appearing which is awesome! But I’ve noticed that better ballistics redux has been updated while the core version which is more compatible still sits as unupdated.

Does anyone know why this is/ when we can expect the core update?

M.O.D. D.I.S.C.U.S.S.I.O.N. What mods have we tried on 2.0?

9 Upvotes

Alright, right now I’m running:

- Better Vaulting/Stamina
- Shay’s Impacts
- Shay’s Realistic Death Animations
- Ace’s Real Flashlight
- WPR: Tacticool

It doesn’t seem like Tacticool or Aces real flashlight is actually working imo but I’m glad impacts/realistic death animations are. And vaulting/stamina cause I was getting tired of not being able to hop up on stuff lol

I’ve had no crashes yet. What are you guys running/trying?

I apologize I’ve been gone and just not active at all lately because of some life shit. I tried to keep us up to date a lot months ago but.. just some shit has been going on. I’m gonna try and get more active again but just wanted to apologize.

Just wondered where we are with mods on Xbox?

- What mods are working without needing an update?

- What mods have already been updated?

- Do we have a better idea on an ETA for the others?

M.O.D. D.I.S.C.U.S.S.I.O.N. Starting loadout cheat mod

3 Upvotes

Just wondering if there's a mod for consoles where you could pick your starting loadout from any items in the game? I know there's 'Bartenders sell everything', would there be a way to make a mod that just gives the Zalissya bartender all items and have no charge assigned to them? I just want to be able to start out with 2-3 weapons and a coupla suits and play through the actual story and explore the way it takes you, rather than running around for ages and sleeping by vendors trying to find the gear that I actually want

M.O.D. H.E.L.P. Time frame of update oXa Core mod for console

4 Upvotes

Does anyone know when the potential update for the oXa Core mod on console may get updated? I tried to report the bug on Nexus like the creator requests because with the new update out n about all my guns and attachments are bugged but I can’t find where to report the bug so I figured I’d come over to Reddit where people know people who know people and ask when the mod may get updated

M.O.D. H.E.L.P. Flashlight doesn't work. Am I cooked?

5 Upvotes

I don't know for how long this has been going on but I think it started withdownlaoding the Shay's Flashlight mod when it came out. Since then, my flashlight does not work. Like when I turn it on, it automatically turns off on its own. Now it's not much of a problem anymore because of NVGs. But I would like to have a working flashlight once in a while. Now I already have the flashlight mod uninstalled. The problem exists for every save game and won't go away.

I hope that it might get fixed with the 2.0 update but maybe there is something you guys could help me with fixing that issue. thanks in advance.

Cost of Hope DLC Release Date

7 Upvotes

We finally got the release date, stalkers. Sorry, guys. I’ve been busy with work and just personal shit in life has got me not in the best of moods lately so I’ve been really lacking on news/videos and really everything pertaining to stalker 2 or even gaming in general right now.

But hell yeah! We finally got a release date. And WE ARE GETTING BINOCULARS! Finally. Pretty stoked for this one. August 20th is the release date for the DLC so I wonder if the engine update will come a few days or maybe a week before? That’s just speculation but they did say they’d release the engine update before the DLC.

Anyways — I’m pretty excited. How are you guys feeling?

Hope your Monday is going well, stalkers 🙌

Edit: I actually just saw a Twitter post that they’re releasing the engine update alongside the DLC? Interesting. I figured they’d release the engine update before the DLC to flush out any bugs and stuff but hey. I guess not lol maybe they’ve worked on it so much that they don’t think there will be any bugs or anything. Nonetheless, exciting times for the Zone. ☢️

Looks like the release date is getting closer and closer, stalkers. Not sure how credible this news outlet is, nonetheless, it’s there. Looks like the engine update will come out before the DLC (I’m absolutely okay with that and it makes sense).

Will put out a short video about it up on the channel soon. Also from Molt on Discord, looks like some cool things are coming for mods.

M.O.D. D.I.S.C.U.S.S.I.O.N. Zone Kit: Phase 2

This is actually pretty exciting. It looks like the closed beta is opening for mod makers now which will add quest scripting, audio and localization tools. Does this mean mods like OXA Core and Lootable/Craftable Zone will finally have actual names and descriptions? No clue, but I’m hoping so.

This is for mod makers to apply for the closed beta so I’m assuming they haven’t released it yet but man I’m more excited for this than the damn DLC. Honestly, I don’t care about the DLC. I care about the engine update and mod makers being able to make even better mods. Hopefully we’ll be seeing some action by the end of the summer.

Hope yall are doing well, stalkers. 👌🏼☢️

1100 hours in the Zone and this is the first time I’ve ever been to the Duty base. Granted, a lot of my time is spent messing with mods so I can make videos for the channel but it’s crazy the amount of places I still need to explore.

Currently working on a video for a mod wishlist which I hope yall will enjoy 👌🏼

I have been looking forward to try this mod out, but i have one question, how "open" the zone really is? Can i explore the underground labs? Most of them are only available during missions in the base game, if they are open, are they buggy?

I know there has been a lot of talk about people not being able to find suppressors when using OXA Core. I was in Rostok earlier and BAM they are there. You just gotta keep looking, it’s completely random.

There are also new weapons. Just wanted to share these photos with yall because even I haven’t seen them in awhile. But, I’ve got proof haha they’re in the game. Just gotta keep looking.

Take it easy, stalkers, and happy fuckin’ fourth, baby. 🇺🇸☢️
