Anybody Else Beat the Game with No Armor? Thread - MISERY mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Right now, I'm Recon and I started on Black Road. So of course that means no armor, no helmet, just your knife and that makarov if you can find it in the house. Right now, I've beaten the iron forest, gotten through the burner anomalies, destroyed the mercs at the processing station and the substation workshops, and gotten through the swamp to find the helicopter. I've done it all with no armor and helmet.

I'm in Jupiter and I'm still going to 'rek em all with no armor and helmet.

The funny thing is, I've found tons of items that would benefit me like crazy. 2 camelbaks, 2 fireball artifacts, aluminum frames, etc.

Has anybody in here beaten the game with no armor yet? I feel like armor is unnecessary.

so far yes but you need a suit for the underground.....otherwise no entry.....beating the monoliths @ the hospital is damn hard ......weirdly 3 camelbaks. but the weapons are in better condition before I enter Skadovsk...I mainly chase the mercs as they have better gear & more unique kit ...xm8 sako ....have found after wiping out the mercs @ the waste plant first ...on leaving I run smack into a group of bandits & mercs heading towards the plant they tend to have a few unique weapons as well ....have found doing it this way the mercs @ the substation have better gear than doing it the other way

but saying that I don't buy ammo or trade for cash......... so repairable weapons in good condition is a bonus

biggest pain is avoiding getting killed EVER far more goodies to find along the way.........just lots more stealth & loads of running ...then double tap'em

Yeah I just realized that. Oh well, it's not possible to do it entirely naked, but at least it's possible to do it for about half the game.

I wish you luck with investigating the helicopter that went through the roof of the jupiter plant (if you haven't made it yet - there is a lot more nasty crap there in the mod!)

I actually just got finished with that area. Twice. I hate that you have to go back there for the docs, but whatever. It wasn't that hard still. Now I actually bought a SEVA suit. Haven't worn it yet. Just left it in the personal container in Skadovsk. Going to go destroy the mercs and then see if I can recruit the dudes to go to Pripyat with me.

I like going fast. Wearing Degtyarev's green sweater and khaki's lets you do that lol.

On the flip side, the SEVA suit will allow me to hold all the artifacts I've been hoarding.

There are plenty of quests that require a SEVA suit, or in the very least the seperate helmet. Hermann wont give you any quests if you dont have a decent psy-protection gear, so without any armor, you will have to miss out on alot of questing.
Alsow, as mentioned, you are obligated to get a close-respiration suit to procede into prypiat. However you might be able to buy the suit in order to start the missions, and then just take it off once its initiated. Dont know why you would want to give yourself such a punishment though.

Alsow, armor isnt useless. It doesnt just increase your resistance to many of the hazards in the zone, but they alsow allow you to carry attachements such as camel-backs, kevlar sheets and so on. Plus the upgrades you can do with them, and the night vision that does come in handy not just in some night missions, but alsow in some situations or locations where the lighting doesnt favour you. Headlamps are decent, but they give away your position, while night vision covers a much larger field of view, while still hiding you in the shadows. To a certain point at least.

weird bit is if you don't investigate the chopper in the swamp first then the weapons you find are all garbage, as test I took apart the substation mercs without checking the chopper.......they all had junk weapons .....I start again...check the chopper & head to the substation & I obtain the XM8

(must admit to being a fan of the XM8 with x4 scope....shame H&K never released a civilian version)

I found having the karabiner43 for sniping controllers & a about 300 rounds for the ak74 with loads of vog for the grenade launcher ....good for the chimera etc etc
Basically I went loaded for bear ..... I find the marijuana is better than the joint ...no helmet needed ....so better vision

(back & forth quite a bit to build up quite a stash for the fight ....weight being the problem...I like to be able to get out of dodge fast)
