S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Loadout - Easy or Difficult?

Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies said:
Often the chest rigs seen in Stalker seem to cling to your abdomen area and be looser and bulkier up top at the chest. Don't forget the obligatory GP5 or GP7 Gas mask which you can stick onto one of your shoulders for the look. Also,patches! Find which faction patch looks the best for you and get some made for you.

EDIT: Went on Paint.net and mocked up a very quick sketch of a concept of kit on your current Stalker base. I'd say your base kit is top notch for a loadout

OH! crude photoshopping if there ever was.

I like the idea of a chest rig, but they don't seem to like the idea of me unfortunately. This is why I'd be more inclined to get one of the best rigs/webbing that have been mentioned previously in this thread.

I also will probably purchase the gas mask to hang off of me, but what's the best way of attaching it?

Stitch a PLCE utility strap to your jacket's shoulder. You can tighten the strap around the mask/through any grab handles, and trim the non-buckled end to size easily.

IMO that chest rig is a bit too MOLLE-ish for an Eastern themed loadout full stop. A proper fixed pouch kind such as a Lifchik would be ideal

 
I'll pick up one of those straps as soon as then!

Yeah that's another reason I'm put off chest rigs for this impression. I would love a lifchik for this also as they do seem to fit in well with the games scenario's and also blend in with the loadout, but they are a little expensive if you factor in the postage from RU

 
There are many Russian and Soviet rigs that can be accurate to the Stalker series. Zhuk,Lifchik,Lazutchik,M23 Pioneer,Nerpa and Kameleon. Kameleon in particular looks a lot like the rig found on the Berill 5M suit .

Check out Frontowiec as I and a few others mentioned before,very good selection of things for good prices however due to recent events Russia doesn;t exactly want to export it's military stuff to Europe so a lot of kit's out of stock

^^That's a great looking rig, Alex, but the ammo pouches are for AS VAL etc, so if he wanted to carry an AK he'd be restricted to those 220rnd short AK hicaps, which look fine, but are hicaps thus pants...

Dammit, mind like a sieve! I meant to say, GP-7's have straps on the back so they can be hooked through any chest rig shoulder strap.

I'll give those rigs a google and check out prices etc and possibly pick one up if I like the look of it.

Thanks for all the help with this thread, you guys have been great!!

 
Apologies for double post here.

Thinking about the SRC Tokarev, but don't have a clue what it's like?

Has a bad reputation for failure. There is a known fault with the mag feed lips which break very easily unless you extract/replace the mag in exactly the correct way (which is all very well in your living room, but under pressure during a skirmish it's quite possible to break well designed, robust kit, let alone something which is dodgy) - some sellers specifically say that their warranty does not cover the ag feed lips.

My research suggests that, taking everything into consideration, the WE is probably the best Tokarev out there.

The reason I don't yet have one is because i spent a long time trying to work out if it would be worth buying a Gratch and modifying it for skirmish use and then, when i decided that the results just weren't worth the effort, I spent the money on night vision - couple of months and i will get one.

There's also the KWA one for a little more - managed to pick one up for £80 a while back but sold it as 10 round mags were £25 each.
Anyway here's part of my stalker loadout - missing my back pack, Tokarev holster and respirator but you get the idea:

 
That looks pretty good, and the KZS jacket looks a lot better as part of the overall impression than I thought it would in my head.

Possibly a solution to the respirator would be to get one of those half face painters rebreathers which I think I'm going to do. Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that they are more practical for in-game use than a full on Gas Mask. If I go down that route then I'll probably just pick one up to clip on anyway for the effect.

 
And Bolshevics patch - good man yourself!

My latest piece of insignia:

...which I bought to play Ukrainian military at the MCG The Gaol S.T.A.L.K.E.R. weekend,​
but I've had to cancel my place, because I'll never be fit enough for a whole weekend by next Friday. Still, I should be returning to the field on the 11th and i'm going to give a whole bunch of that new gear a debut.

 
What about an ALICE web set with an AK pouch on it, that seems pretty scavenger-like and also fits the colour scheme of the impression.

 
Just got myself a lovely, black PBF Gas Mask for this, should be here in about a week or so. £16 and it's NOS!

Tape? what is this,generic American apocalypse movie? Weapon smiths of the zone great skill have,they can into welding and machining- Your grand to attach a rail and a torch to the gun- But It would be even cooler to weld on a torch mount or something.

 
Most of the gear I'm selling in this thread is still available. Some of it is S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-esque. I'm away from home until next weekend though, so postage would have to wait until next Monday.
