New Arsenal 5.1 - English Translation addon - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl

There are many, and all good looking.

Uh-huh, and they all whack me in the snout when I try to flirt. Maybe later, when the Marked One becomes a Big Muchacho, the things would change:)

PPL, GUESS WUT:)
I GOT ONE STALKER GIRL YESTERDAY, HEHEH:)

Oh yea there are female members of the monolith now Haha!

i play this mod now,not bad at all,still havent seen the new locations,the guns are good,lots of new options and scopes,most of the new guns are useless tho since the recoil is way too high,you just cant hit a thing on full auto mode,i tweaked it down a bit and now its more managable,also i dont like female stalkers in the zone,im not gay,it just ruins the atmoshere of the game,not a fan of this,i wonder if this mod will take longer to complete than Narodnaya solyanka,lots of new zones,wonder how stable and populated they are,are you far into this mod?

Yes, I own and shoot many of the firearms in this mod. The recoil should never lift a barrel more than about two inches max. The AR platform usually rises about 3\4 of an inch in rapid single fire. The vintorez is tolerable but only that one. You can't use the single projectile weapons in this mod. Shotguns and grenades/launchers are the only ones that work well. To bad, pretty good mod other than the weapons, oh and having to search for the bloody decoder.

I realize now it is not in the weapon disp settings and the rounds will hit zeroed in after my tweaks, but it is the animations that make the weapons fly all over the place. Not sure if there is a way to reduce this but it is playable. Wish I could find the enterance into east pripat tho. LOL.

yea i know what you mean,even after tweaking the weapons,they still fly all over the place,kinda ironic name for the mod,its called arsenal and its adds lots of guns,but most of them suck cause of unrealistic recoil,also there is a very annoying muzzle flash in most of the guns,that blinds you when you shoot and you cant keep track of your target,even adding a silencer doesnt seem to diminish it

No, it's in his own folder and guns like the 1891/30, Benelli M3 and some others are missing, also some ammunition boxes but some are okay.

Mmm... That's weird, will do it, thank you.

If you're using windows then make sure to unblock both archives by right clicking and then select properties. I would also start the game up once when it's still in russian then apply the english translation.

Thank you, will try that, because I did unpacked them using 7zip but the translations for some weapons are still missing, I did checked the files and are okay, the descriptions are there.

Hi PYP, could you tell me how did you spawn items in game? I wanna check the arsenal of the game and stuff. Thx in advance

Never mind, I found it. It was in the underground base surrounded by monoliths :P

Thank you! I also wanted an addon like this one.

Oh wow thank you so much!

Thanks, that was so ****** up. Many many many ******`great weapons and no space to store.
Thank you so much

One of them should be Metro 2033 ending theme song, I don't know about the rest though.

Thanks That`s it

solved, grenates and explosives does it

There are some new jobs. Sid asked me to retrieve a blackbox from a crashed helicopter.

thanks.Few things...

PPL, UNPACK IT ALL ONLY WITH 7ZIP! ELSE YA GONNA FRACK UP YA GAME FOLDER AND WILL HAVE TO REINSTALL THE WHOLE THING, DRINKING VODKA TO MAKE UP FOR SHED TEARS:(

Ha! You were warned, LoL!

Yea, ROFL:)
All cool now, the mod rocks, Gawd so many guns and optics, I'm like hypnotized, ya can go anywhere and ya got a tiger to watch ya back. Outstandingly superb.

Ya served in the Army? Fire, run and change pose, use binoc, see where they are, fire at them, run to another cover, flank them, etc. They're very dogged (persistent) here, and are flanking. When on the move, use ravines and low ground to stay otta sight. As soon as ya got a new contact, see who it is. ENEMY? RUN BACK and take cover. Binoc them out, set ambush and good luck. If they see you, they will fire even from half a mile away. Probably hoping that they gonna get ya and yea, they do... If we're such jackasses to stay in the open. It's a shooting game, for Christsakes, so use cover! Do we ever play chess without the chessboard? No. Do we ever not use cover in a STALKER? No.

I have played mil sim before. So my issue is with dying instantly to 5.45 even with a merc outfit. Headshot? Fine. But even single torso shots instantly kill the actor while enemy military wearing worse protection can take up to 3 7.62x39.

Edit your merc suit, then:) So many of us do. But don't expect than your marked One will take more than a 3-4 hits of any cal. That ****** me off, too - but it teaches us to use cover more efficiently. It's STALKER.

Man, you are on something strong and I wish you'd share some of it.

ROFL, I don't use any chems in RL, and as for this "something strong", you got that right, I am on my will and dedication to play this as I want to. THAT's strong.
But I see why you think so - I forgot to say that, even if you mod the bullet resistance of your suit to a really high level and wear 3 Soul Artefacts (that's +3000 health) - don't expect than your marked One will take more than a 3 to 6 hits of any caliber in a row.
So...
Ya still have me for a Jethead? LOL:)
You remember Jet from Fallout, of course.

I was making a jest. I'm well aware of how to take cover and how to deal with the average Stalker A.I. However, most mods make things darker, crisper textures and denser grass etc that make it harder to spot targets. I also (usually) play without a mini-map, though this mod does have one active.

In short, I am not a stranger to dealing with lethal A.I. enemies. Its just a rude surprise to come from Anomaly or Call of Misery where even low level armor might let you scrape by and the real threat was bleeding out.

This reminds me of Arsenal Overhaul, where pretty much anything beyond a pistol shot is instant death even with the best armor. I should probably tinker with the immunities a little. I will certainly say this: unlike a lot of compilation mods I've tried, this one actually works and required no fiddling during installation to function. It runs reasonably well and looks good. I mostly have enjoyed the gunplay, just disappointed that fights were so tedious if I didn't have the absolute advantage.

Also some weirdness where the military A.I. would seemingly lose track of me if I ducked into a bush for five seconds and then laser locked on as soon as I left. Not sure how I feel about that.

Hi, I got an answer to your:
"Also some weirdness where the military A.I. would seemingly lose track of me if I ducked into a bush for five seconds and then laser locked on as soon as I left. Not sure how I feel about that."

Yesterday I understood that the Ivans (the Military, LOL), are much better shot than the bandits and WAYS MORE determined - even if there's only 1 - he goes for Marked One, as if they promissed him all the Vodka and hottest girls Ukraine has. That's one. Here's the two.

If they lose you, Ivans will STAY PUT, facing the direction they saw you last time. That's why they saw you when you stood up from that bush.

My advice:
As soon as you get an Ivan contact, or an Ivan starts to shoot at you (you can tell by their taunts it's them) and you don't know where he is, SPRINT behind something big enough to hide you from their view (a building, a hill - thanks Gawd, those are plentiful.) Then go around fast, flank them. Trust me, man, I saw them yesterday. I went to attack the Car Park (y'know, the first Sidor's mission). Now, when I was on that hill where you meet the Loners, I faced the Car Park and an Ivan shot at me from behind. I ran like crazy to the other side of the road and came around through the underpass. THEN I saw him advancing to where I was! I was directly flanking him. RATATATA! Dosvidanya, Ivan.

And also, if you don't kill him the first time, rather than leaning behind cover and do some OK Corall shooting, use the flank manoeuver again. AND...:) Do it so, as to clearly target your last pose:) He will come there. Ivan is a Grunt. He is a great shot, he does his tactics but - as Sidor says - he is also dumb.

Hpe this helps to you and all of us:)

Yea, and IVAN NEVER SPRINTS. Use that against those bloody sods.

To anyone feeling weird about my "Ivan" - Ivans is how I call the Military in STALKER and only them.

The dialogues translation is trashy. PM me, that quest is a bit weird.
