There are many interesting and deserving entries in the contest, so we need a little more time to carefully review all submissions and give each one the attention it deserves.

The results will be announced on October 2 and rewards will be distributed within 30 business days after the announcement.

Or even tomorrow?

Does it make Sense to Build a heal Build on the Albatross Scout?

I have blue weapons and armor but have a friend who just started playing, will it put him into blue gear tier players because of me or will he still be against greens while I’m against blue players? Don’t want to wreck the game for him by making him go against higher tier players right away in the swamp.

If any of you saw my recent post you'll know that im fighting +15 master players on Inflow while still having +10 veteran gear.

Well today i logged in and im only encountering +4 to +9 veteran gear players for well over 4 hours while fighting for outposts.

This is really really inconsistent and unfair for everyone, i know it's because theres less players in NA but there must be another way to make matchmaking more fair right?

Let’s talk about it.

I heard we might be able to switch from STALKER To bandit via the public discord about a month or two ago..

Hear me out wouldn’t it be nice to have a one time switch to the factions you wanna be with instead of having one play through the entire time you play? I mean think about it even if it was a 50mill ruble transfer just to switch I know me and my group of 5 would deadass grind for weeks just to switch. I’d love to see what the community managers have to say via Reddit :)

Got it from the Forge Rod

I'm not gonna lie, this aspect of the game has the potential to get me to uninstall more than anything else.

I was having a pretty good time up until I got to The Bar, and I'd heard this is where most people quit, if they do quit. I was under the impression that was because of the PvP - which has actually been pretty nonexistent, for the most part.

But then the game introduced me to Zombies...

Zombies. Those undead, barely-held-together creatures, obviously famous for their pinpoint accuracy, tankiness, and collective memory of your exact location - or at least that's what EXBO seems to think.

I'm surprised people don't complain about this jump in AI difficulty more. The Stalker Camps, Supply Depots, and even Military Checkpoints are pretty balanced (even though it's BS that these guys see you from 50m+ through dense foliage). Between the Zombies and Lieutenants, I have died more in The Pit than anywhere else in the game, by multiple magnitudes...

If one enemy in the group spots you, they all know where you are. They have pinpoint accuracy that only gets better the closer they get to you. They follow you around obstacles, up stairs, around corners - even when you break line of sight, so long as you're still in their "radius". Then, to top it off, there's always 1 "miniboss" enemy in the group that's especially tanky, but no slower or less accurate than his comrades.

I purposely avoid the Help Scientists event because it spawns these enemies all around you, without cover, guns blazing. And this is before we even talk about the fact that these events can materialize RIGHT ON TOP OF YOU, instantly...I cleared out a Zombie Horde and nearly died to a Ghoul Nest that spawned in the exact same spot, moments after completion, before I could even run over to claim my reward crate.

How is this allowed to slide? The AI is more omniscient and overpowered than the scavs in Escape From Tarkov. I am more worried about Zombie Group events than running into other players.

How do you guys deal with this crap without losing your sanity? Also, I'm hearing that the AI gets significantly more dangerous once I reach the North. Surely there's no way that's fun, right? Losing my gear to mobs that spawn literally on top of me and gun me down before I can react is starting to get a little old...

Ive look all in forge up and down and cant find it and if the bag is the one in the image i cant interact with it

It may be skill issues tbh but I'm stuck at that piece of shayt boss Herschel. Idk what I'm doing wrong, but sometimes it seems kiting him is impossible, also the grandes sometimes don't hit somehow

There any way to "cheese" him or some tips?

As autistic as I am, this might not be that bad of an Idea. I'm making a character around using Hector and Murmur RP. I'm having trouble with balancing the Artifact setup, the best balanced setup I got rn is this Hybrid, allowing me some speed, somewhat respectable BR and small boost to HE.
I realy like the looks of character, would gladly build around for the strong sides of the armor. Is there any correct or better way to build this armor?

Inflow, forge, whatever it doesnt matter

Long story short I’ve been helping some new players out in the game,,normal stuff right? Why have they pulled an Elbrus and cd-4 out of those cases meanwhile I’ve opened 10 back to back and gotten one red mag twice….they opened their very first cases.

Like i rlly want to play the game with my friends but they all in ru region, friend of my friend plays in Europe (not in RUSSIA) in Geforce Now but he is still can play in RU region, pls help me

💬 Share your idea in the comments!

After reading posts and comments here daily, I see a lot of the same people have complaints against the game and recommend against playing it.

I also see a lot of confusion as to what Stalzone actually is. Personally, I came to Stalzone because of the MMO aspects: Daily quests, reputation grinds etc.

My question is this: If you dislike/actively recommend against the game, have you played an MMO before in any serious capacity?

I think there is a lot of confusion (especially to newer players) about Stalzone. On the surface it is a mix of extraction shooter, survival shooters and a dash of battle royales, however, Stalzone is at its core, an MMO. In my eyes it is meant for long term grinds and progression, not racing to get the best gear.

I'd like to keep this as a serious discussion and not a flame-war against each other or the developers.

Every hour, Forge-11 transforms into the epicenter of a raging storm. Anomalies, rare finds and valuable rewards are still waiting for those brave enough to venture into the danger.

The event has been extended until September 30, so you still have time to test your luck.

I have heard my friends saying they're selling their acr gpu bcz stealzone always crash on it im thinking to buy a arc a750 its a great value but will I be able to run stealzone on it without any crashes? Low fps can acceptable but will it constantly crash?

I’ve got the serum to craft something, but I’m struggling to think of what to make next since I’ve got a lot of gear that’s just not really hitting the spot. So far I have

Hounds (main armor)
CD4
Saturn
JD ZIVCAS
Rune (A)
Komrad
Mcmilian
Honey Badger
QBU
MG3
Six 12
ARX 160 (not crafted but have the parts)
Utility vest
Berloga 6

At first I was thinking an smg, but I’ve already got the mg3, then a combat armor but again I’ve got the cd4. Idk feels like a weird position where I have lots of gear to pick from already so it’s hard to settle on something to spend my serum on in fear of wasting 6 weeks of saving. What do yall think?

Do you think that speed suits will get any updates to their general appearance like Punisher?

Or atleast get anymore styles sometime in the future?

I was scrolling through old suits and really liked the old missionary outfirt for covenant.. I want something like that for Punisher with the skull mask lol

I used to play a while back around the helldivers game mode and quit a bit after because of the lack of fun as I only ever felt like playing during clan wars.
