I'm using the TR-301 with 4x scope, silencer and a few upgrades (mostly flattening/accuracy and the 45 round mag). I found it after playing the game with the fully upgraded Viper-5 up till that point. But at the moment I'm in Yantar, and the ammo for the 301 (I believe it's 5.51x39) is kinda scarce in that area. All the zombies walk around with AK's
A small tip: when you need money for upgrades or anything and you're at the Agraprom Research Institute, just wait around for a while at the west entrance to the Stalker-encampment. It gets attacked about 3/4 times a day by a bunch of bandits. They're quite easy to knock down, and the weapons they carry can easily be transported to the trader. A inventory full of weapons should give you a couple of grand at a time.
As an addition to my post above, another weird thing happend: when I cleared out the little swamp area at the western-most part of the Agraprom-map, I got a 'Sunrise'-suit from one of the Stalkers I helped. It was upgraded differently than the sunrise-suit I already owned, but I decided to take it to the Stalker trader. When I put my 'original' suit on the ground to be able to make the distinction between them and later picked it up again, all the upgrades on it were gone! I spent about 15000 on that suit and they just went up in smoke. Anyone have that problem too?

Mental note: don't drop items on the ground.
Maybe it works like Diablo, if you clickety-click fast enough, you can duplicate items?!

Using a dragunov and full upgrades etc. Can't get my fucking seva suit fully upgraded though which fucking SUX. I am also using what i am assuming is a g3. Also full upgrade + silencer/scope.

Maybe you should repair it or find a new one

Or stop shooting on full-auto? That's the only time in (original Stalker) the guns jammed on me.

Yeah, guns seem to degrade very quickly if you use nothing but full-auto.

Yea I use full auto.
Question.. I still cannot find any artifacts. Bought 2 other fucking scanners but the shit is not working.
What do I do?

Get one of the scanners that have a screen. Find an anomaly field. If a dot appears on your detector's screen, follow it until an artifact appears.

Actually i would say that this game is likely one of the hardest i have yet to play. But i am willing to bet that if you learn to use cover, you will be fine. Also, don't hang around in the early stages of the game for too long. You need to join a faction quickly too, that helps a lot with cash.

I tried storing upgraded guns in containers, but after restarting the game the upgrades are gone too. It's not a matter of being on the ground, it's a matter of items not being in your inventory apparently
Does anyone know if you can wipe out a complete faction? I hate those fucking bandits and want to get rid of them all, but as soon as I attack their main base in the Garbage the gate closes and these fuckers keep shooting at me through the door.

I personally think it fucking rocks the motherfucking cock. The technology in this game is amazing. It might be less atmospheric than the last, but it is still VERY good. I love the AI. I am taking my sweet time with this one. Have not even finished it yet, and i normally finish game in record times. Took me 3.5 hours to finish fear ^^. Which i did like 5 times cause like i have previously indicated, i love a clever AI.
