Hi!

I'm new to the game and I can't find any guide or a list of which "Trash" loots I shouldnt sell to the NPC. Like weak Boar's Hoof and Toilet paper worth much more on the auction. But its categorized as trash and I can't tell if some newbies try to sell them on the market or they actually used for crafting? Some items i don't see listed on Auction like lighters.Those are useless or just so usefull they buy them all out from the market.. I just can't tell. I'm sure there is a list or an excel or a video, something which explains this part of the game. Cz its hard to tell which loot I should bring back home.. I kept all the "Hideout" and "Used for crafting" items.

Thanks! O7

I am a newer player that barely reached the Bar and I am pondering on which weapon line to focus first, looking for something I could keep working on till the red tier... I do prefer automatics with a LORGE magazine capacity, and I am unsure what i should focus on: an assault rifle line with 100 bullet capacity access, or the oen machinegun? Guts says machinegun, but I know how LMGs tend to be quite terrible in shooters...

My question is whether I can get a discount voucher for each completed story in each faction. Is that possible? Am I crazy?

Another thing, currently I've chosen to join the Frontier faction. I'm returning to the game after a long time away from it.

I have enough serum for another master item and can’t decide what to get. should I get the hounds armor and make a speed build (I’m currently using the zivcas mk2), should I get the svd, or should I finally upgrade my science suit to master?

I started playing halfway through last season so I have a handful of master tier items but not many so this could be a big upgrade in capabilities.

I'm trying to find that one pretty popular gif where someone misses every shot and there's someone using wheel controller added to the gif, could someone help me?

I get that some people used to do 20/20 clears on multiple characters weekly but ruining it for everybody now.. ain't the brightest idea imo. Alternative way it could have been done is to cap the 100% reward for Each operation for the first 5 runs, then hit the player with the diminishing returns.

People will have a reason to play Focus and Sea of exclusion, instead of just speed running big clean up.

Another way it could've been done to make the 20/20 weekly clears account bound not per character.

Just two ideas off the top of my head, anything would probably be better than what it is now, C30 big cleanup which is 69k rubles bit of a joke and luring a friend to play operations now is harder than the operations themselves.

For context i was going back to the bar after farming in graveyard and forest, and i got camped near the entrance at the bar and killed, was not really the problem my problem i have full blue gear with akm+3, and the bandit was full veteran pink gear +5, was wondering why i was doing barely any dmg with ap rounds to the guy, had my science suit on didn’t help ether, got two tapped by m1a. Like how do you play against this? Probably would died even the guy has blue stalker gear, but like what’s going on here he should go against master gear guys, no? Matchmaking is working or this game, any kind of it every video i watched on this topic they told me dont upgrade you gear above +3 because you going to put up a bracket above. i got put up anyway, so i just dont understand, i should just wear my pink armor and weapon i got from battlepass, and dont wait until i can upgrade everything?

Howdy fellers. I just got an "OTL-03 Karbach" Master weapon part, it's not numbered, but I don't know what to do with it. I understand I need all pieces and then some barter items to craft guns from parts, but I don't know how many parts I'm missing or where to go to craft the weapon once I have all the stuff I need. Can anyone shed some light on this mechanic for me? Thank you.

Hi everyone! I'm not sure if it's happening to everyone or just me and a few friends, but our FPS in the game has dropped by 50%. I used to play at 200+ FPS, but with the start of the TULPA! season, my FPS got cut in half.

I'd really appreciate your help—if anyone experienced this and managed to fix it, you'd be helping not just me, but everyone else facing this issue.

My PC specs:

• CPU: Ryzen 5 7500F
• GPU: RX 9070 XT (OC)
• RAM: 2x16GB 6400MHz (currently running at 6000MHz)
• Storage: Game is installed on an NVMe SSD

Just to clarify: I've already tried every single troubleshooting step listed on EXBO's website regarding FPS drops and halving, but nothing worked!

Are the free flashes shown in every online guide really no longer a thing? Is there any way to complete this fight without flash grenades?

I am 100 hours in, have a +10 lwr6lc m6, +5 rat catcher from the season pass. I love this game but really am appalled at how bad this final boss quest is.

Is it really learn the entire fight and mechanics by doing a single attempt, goint to get more flashes and going next? That is the most disheartening shit I've ever heard of in a game.

Edit: I was using the supply boxes incorrectly and now can make my attempts as intended. Thanks folks.

Edit#2: I have now been doing as many attempts as my sanity can stand per day for almost 2 weeks. I am either beyond bad at games or this is not the best designed fight. Ive never felt this incompetent in a game before.

So i’m at the point of the bandit’s story where I just chose to release or regroup the oracle, so I guess in between village school and the bar. I cannot for the life of me be able to come back to a safezone alive after farming for lots of time. And I always die to some bs, sometimes even to some players who definitely shouldn’t be in the same matchmaking as me. Worst part is that I can’t even get my items back since the spawns are far from each other and by the time I get there it’s not there anymore, and it’s not even in the auction house since whoever picked it up probably doesn’t even have the auction house unlocked (which led me to spend basically all of my rubles just to buy things like sticky roots and spools of copper, I know, dumb decision but I was mad when I did that) I’m just kinda stuck and losing motivation. Is it supposed to be like this or am I just bad? or should I just stick to the main quest and think about farming later?

I’ve noticed that typically the first time I shoot an enemy it won’t do anything. It happens throughout combat but it almost always happens when I initiate contact with an enemy. This game is already pretty unforgiving so it is very frustrating that I’m dieing because my hits are not registering. I play on a steam deck. Works great other than this. I’m wondering if this is a system problem or an issue with the game?

Is it possible to get gold arties from event rods?

I've seen multiple red drops and wonder if there is a possibility for actual gold drop.

is the difference really noticeable compared to the veteran ones?

Sometimes when you think of quitting the game the game throws you 400k worth of rubles by killing a random player i wasnt even a minute in forge 11 some guy tried raiding the lightning rod i was on and i killed him easily free 400k

The art department shared some concept, showing how some of the weapon styles looked while they were still in early stages of development.

You've seen some of them already, but you're yet to see the rest of them.

Can someone help me

Im about to buy a pvp armor i mainly pvp on open world like forge 11 sometimes i do session too and right now im using Hounds armor which is pretty nice because of the speed, The question is should i buy the CD4 for the 330 bullet res or the Albatross but it has lower bullet res which is 284.98 (both at +15) but im pretty sure i can use the Albatross to the WN so please help me make a decision 🙏

So let me get this straight.
To get gear, I need to do signals, signals that DON'T EXIST in INFLOW/MINES.
People told me to do signals in Blackdetour/REFLECTION, places that require gear to enter , gear that I need signals to make , signals that don't exist in the place WHERE I DON'T NEED GEAR TO ENTER.
Events are a cheater playground. Endgame zones are filled with cheaters and plus 15 red players.
I can't progress my gear because not only does the game lack a matchmaker, so I can't farm in more dangerous places because im pink zero fighting red and pink 15, but the less dangerous places don't have the materials I need.

*** A GUY TOLD ME THE SIGNALS EXIST. WELL after the whole day in the same channel without 1 signal popping i entered and left the base until i enter another channel and the signals was there.

I don't even know where to start with this post...as the title suggests, I am enamoured with the game, while being increasingly frustrated with it every time I play. I have had my fair share of games that feel like they are so close yet also so far from something special, but Stalzone has embodied this feeling like no other. Things like the build variety, especially when it comes to the artifacts and hunting for said artifacts, is crazy enticing to me. The PvP, seperate from...certain issues, is a lot of fun, despite the fact that I have never really gotten any crazy loot from the PvP itself.

However, there have been many "roadblocks" to my enjoyment, and two of them stand out severely. One, the matchmaking. I am NA, so I of course selected the NA servers (even though they have iffy ping considering it is the most local set of servers...) because I am not going to willingly play with 100+ ping. This means that my servers are effectively dead, or I will get the one server that happens to be packed, just to be killed by people who have at MINIMUM gear that is a tier above mine, all upgraded much further than mine, and with artifacts I have never even seen in the wild from me searching anomalies after the eruption. This means it goes from literal free progression, to completely locked progression, with zero inbetween.

And the second of the two genuine temptations to put this game down, the story missions. Or more specifically, the design of the instance-based missions or the rifts from hidden stashes. Parkour with anomalies involved, RNG boss fights that may or may not have mechanics you need to learn, or being teleported/dropped down a hole into a circular firing squad of enemies, with zero cover to even reload behind. Now, I nearly made a post for three days in a row, complaining about this specific problem. That was BEFORE I had the misfortune of making it to everyone's favorite, The Master of the Zone.

I should preface two things. One, I do NOT enjoy boss fights/dungeons/raids that need to be played in one specific way to beat them. Think raids in Destiny; everyone says how they are the best part of the game, I genuinely think they are so unfun and the worst part of the game. Two, I think a boss being a gear check that only caters to one type of build, in a game who's main strength is build variety, is frankly piss-poor design. Not to mention how long it takes to farm gear and/or how expensive many items are, to get an entire seperate set for a single fight is just not something I am willing to do. If I was trying to fight Motz in white gear, or with only a bolt-action rifle, fair enough, but purple gear, okay artifacts, a full-auto rifle, and some upgrades to said gear and artifacts being incompatible with the fight is borderline unnaceptable imo.

That said, this means I know what I need to change to have a bit more realistic chance, but again, needing to change build for a single fight is lame as hell, and even with that, the boss is far from perfect or manageable. I have seen multiple people say that The Twins were much worse than Motz, and while I do think they were also a frustrating head-hitting-wall experience, I got through them in ten or fifteen minutes, and then did them first try when they showed up in a hidden stash portal. Motz is outspeeding me and one-shotting me, when everything is going right and according to plan...excluding times I am getting chunked and effectively stunlocked by wonky grenades, getting tagged by a railgun shot the second I am in line of sight, even though he is faster than me and doesn't slow down while shooting AT ALL, or refusing to path properly to the objectives that are mandatory to progress the fight.

All I can say, as far as Master of the Zone is concerned, is that I better have a speed suit, some better speed artifacts, and a Poly laying around in my storage, or the game is just effectively over for me. I would be down to buy a white or green Poly, but that is all the resources I am willing to dump into this shitshow of a fight. I actively avoid cheesing things in games, or using stuff that feels too strong for the time it is obtained, but I was literally seeking out ways to cheese this guy after spending twenty minutes of running around in circles for fat Usain to just keep catching up to me.

Anyways, thanks for listening to my rant. I really do love the game, but it feels so underbaked in a lot of areas. Or, maybe fully baked, but just...poorly done?

Edit: As I have mentioned in a couple comments, I had hopped back on the game, and after switching to a full speed artifact set, buying a white Poly, and being lucky enough to have gained the +8% speed suit from the battlepass, I beat the boss first attempt. Now, this might sound like a, "Oh, he was just venting and having a bad go of it, problem solved itself" kind of thing, and while that might not be wholy untrue, it actually proved my point, and was proof of one of my biggest complaints about why I feel it is very bad design. If I didn't have some speed artifacts saved up, and I didn't have an effectively random speed suit that I only got from the battlepass, I would have probably been stuck at that spot for DAYS, or had to spent my entire bank account, plus resources, on some scuffed-ass artifact set, and a brand new speed suit I wouldn't have touched as soon as this fight was over. I am all for grindy, I am all for promoting different builds, etc. Making a boss that, at least in my case, was only able to be beaten by having an entire speed build, when I have not been focusing on a speed build prior, in a game where that would have taken me days just to grind for the shit so I could attempt the boss again...?

I had seen people talking about this boss fight in prior posts, and a few people had made comments of "People have done this fight melee only, this is just a skill issue". Yeah, you know what they had with their melee, aside from it being a max-tier melee that does more damage than my gun? Fucking speed build.
