Weapons are ridiculously weak and bad

[Miaa_]

5 headshots at point blank range to kill an unarmored bandit? I mean, even if he was armored, more than 2 headshots is ridiculous. STALKER was always infamous for its bad combat and shooting, but it's somehow still way better than STALCRAFT's. Combaty in Stalcraft is extremely bad and doesn't feel fun or good.
They probably won't change this now, i'm very surprised y'all played this piece of ♥♥♥♥ for years like it was actually good or enjoyable. It isn't. Even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ roblox has better shooting lmao
The ONLY good thing this game has is being online, that's it, that'll all there is to it.
But hey you have the right to like it, i'm not saying you can't, but you gotta admit there isn't much of value here.
It didn't invent anythin, didn't bring naything new to the table, doesn't have good combat, doesn't have trading, doesn't have any RPG elements, base building or dynamic factions.. This game literally has nothing for it. Except being online. And now that I think about it, even though nobody ever talks or use mic, they could make 75% of these other players we see bots and no one would notice, hell, maybe they did it already lol

It's just that the starting weapons are dogsh!t. I felt the same way as OP until I got my hands on the SV-98, using sniper rifles like Mosin Nagant, the Boomstick variant or worn winchester is literally just torture and makes it feel like the guns are simply terrible. Well, because they are, just only at the beginning.
I don't think weapon's damage should be this far off between tiers, other stats should, like spread and whatnots

they should of never nerfed the game to begin with, it was alright some time ago, before they changed all the damage on guns, my RPD went from doing 131 dmg to doing 31 dmg, and npcs didnt get nerfed along with the guns, so you are basically shooting a bullet sponge, and its all thanks to guys like this that complain, NOW the newer players DO NOT STAND A CHANCE because they will never get guns that do enough damage against high gear score players, very rarely will you be able to kill them, only from an ambush

Well so far i never really had issues with PvP because the roblox kids that play this game are very bad at aiming, i think i killed like 6 players and only died once in my 8 hours. But it still is a bad system, it's not fun or engaging and it's frustrating that everybody is a bullet sponge. Imo even the random ass starved bot bandits in the wild are more dangerous than other players because at leatsthe bots have a perfect 100% aimbot accuracy allthe time even 100m away through bushes where they are invisible for you.
In any way the combat is just bad, is all i'm saying. In STALKER you kill stuff in 2 bullets but you also die in 2 bullets, which is way better and feels much more engaging and satisfying.
Also damnn that RPD nerf is insane xD

yeah but i'm not gonna grind for hours in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ forest for 200 rat's head or whatever they want. I got 175K rubles but literally cannot spend them on anything bc they don't let me buy guns, i can only buy guns if i also trade useless ♥♥♥♥ that i need to farm for hours with it. If the game doesn't respect my time, then it doesn't deserve to have it in the first place

Guns for sale on the Auction. Use your PDA.

You really don't have a clue what you are talking about.

I bought my SV-98 for about 320k, I was simply patiently waiting till the very last second with the bid.
Also what else do you expect to do in this game? It's literally about going out, doing quests, looting buildings, clearing out nests and coming back to the base with eveything you've found so you can sell it and progress, and all PVP does it give it some stakes, otherwise it be boring as all hell, because the enemy AI is just terrible and the gunplay basic,
But still IMHO the NPC enemies sould either be weakened, or weapons should have bonuses against them, having additional 1.25-2x multipler on only SOME of them and only against mutants is kinda bad, and makes playing more of a tedious chore than an enjoyable activity.

the fun thing is actually that exbo tries to minimize going from start to veteran/master weaponry so newbies who hate everything and don't wanna learn anything new won't cry, but they are still mad.
guess you have to start with god armor and weapon of death just to enjoy at least something in new game

Take you pills... the only thing this game has in common with Minecraft is the blocky characters and some map design.

well of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ course people don't like playing with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ nerf guns that requires 15 headshots to kill a broke ass starved bandit bot. This gmae isn't hard or immersive or anything. You have the right to enjoy it, the only thing i'm complaining about here is that i was led to believe this game had something to do with stalker and otehr immersive sim games. Games in which bullets are bullets. And don't have that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ weapon levelling thing and grind

Its gear based and you create your build based on artifacts. Its not based on aim and raw skill. If you can get past that then you'll enjoy the game or else if you're just trying to find a game to wind down after a long day then Stalcraft isn't that game.

Hilarious,

Every Noob who shows up HAS to find something to complain about.

in the Past Everyone complained hard about head shots, They nerf the ♥♥♥♥ out of it cause of fricking noobs who get instant killed. Armour Values went up, Weapons Damage went down.

And now noobs like you cry you cant instant head shot crap anymore. With starting guns...lol.

Something about this game brings out the most pathetic traits in gamers.

Well the game already changed for the cry babies. And now look, more cry babies.

Its better you don't stick around the Zone. You don't have what it takes to make it. The bar would squash you and you would blame the game every step of the way. No different than the previous noobs who came before you.

And that's after they made the bar, wait for it....

easier for noobs

The actual skill check part of the game got nerfed.

What the hell do you guys want? Everything on Platter and no challenge?

There is trading, There is an auction House. Players do use mics. There are factions later in the game and those players are not bots.

Less than 6 hours in game. Did you even get to Cordon or Photon 2?

did you even experience the game?

If there was a "potato" award I would give it to the OP.

On top of what Von Gamerstein said, you clearly did not experience the game or did not even spend some time reading/watching gameplay videos of mid/late gameplay.

1. RPG elements are your artifact builds for different situations
2. Combat is being continuously modified and adjusted but even now you can experience everything from open world pvp, through classic matchmaking session battles and further subdivision battles which are literally clan wars - and they provide additional bonuses for you and your clanmates.
3. In terms of trading, there's living Auction House which can bring you dozens of millions of rubles if you have money to invest and you know what's going on there.
4. I do not quite understand what do you mean by dynamic factions, but if you're on the same side of the fence there's no problem with switching for example betweeen Freedom and Duty back and forth.

I know, it may sound harsh - but welcome to the zone stalker, where you get gud or get recked.
