Unkillable NPCs ????

[Paulyk]

In my 50hours or so i had the "luck" of encountering 2 NPCs that they wont simply die.... you can empty 1000 AP bullets, 500 slugs and other ammo... they dont give a ♥♥♥♥.... one is in a tower near Yanov station to the east... the other in the Malachite base ....

If u have that issue and its locking you i recommend using WeMod and easy kill setting
or UEtools

Those NPCs are there to signify that you are not meant to be able to enter that area. Yes it's bad design and poorly telegraphed, but it's there to make you give up and go another way.

That said the yanov station sniper is funny because it doesn't even help keep you from crossing the train border. If you go east of the yanov station until you reach the large digger whose shovel is leaning over a busted train car, it's possible to parkour through it and get free entry and exit to pripyat without story progression.

is funny to say that they are so you cannot enter the area... when i have a quest inside the Malachite base.... , the Yanov one in the tower i understand... because im locked in my quest with the water tower... that door after the Monolith invasion wont open....

yeah, ISPF sniper, those are tanky AF. I think you are not supposed to kill them as they protect kinda "inacessible" areas. One on Jupiter sider. Plenty on Duga towers. They will die, took like fair 15 headshots. If you can't kill him you have weak weapon. They have armor you need to overcome or you will do 0 damage I guess.

But then I did a mission where one was taken down as part of the mission. And just ignored the one in Jupiter when I was trespassing. So I stopped bothering them :)

I remember the story of the stalker who couldn't stop bragging about her new gun, but cheaped out on the ammo. A couple days later, a few stalkers bring in a gun to sell to the trader that looked just like that.

There are NPC snipers to prevent you from going out of bounds that are invincible. Found two so far - one around the middle of Yaniv, the second one is by the cemetery at Cooling Towers. Duga has invisible instakills.

I remember npcs talking about a secret passage to pripyat so... free range.

When I was trying to enter in Duga, there were 2 Monolith snipers that are invincible, but when I try to get through the entrance, I get insta-killed.

They aren't invincible. You can also prevent them one-shotting you. I killed the one next to the cemetery@Cooling Towers. Once solo, took like idk 25 headshots with M701 Super AP rounds and a few RPG shots. The other time some NPCs joined in and after a long while eventually got the kill shot.
