Monolith Loadout

[Guest Marauder211]

This thread will follow a journey of me slowly building my Monolith loadout from the Stalker series using various airsoft gear, also this is an area for tips and tricks, or maybe your own Stalker styled loadouts.

 

Please enjoy.

For reference: this is the monolith look from the Stalker games

so a viper chest rig, an m14, and a snow camo pattern inappropriate in all but the most Scottish of winters?

Basically lol. I found most of the stuff, including the assault vest and chest rig. Even found some urban BDU that would look decent.

And the rifle doesn't matter since the Monolith uses all the weapons in the game series from your basic AK to rare weapons like the F2000 and gauss rifles.

The camo looks a bit like the Finnish winter camo, which is increasingly available.

Problem is, the camo used in game is not a real one, it's based off a Russian urban camo, closest I found was a US style Urban BDU pattern, which a fair few modders implemented as well as other cosplayers. Although I appreciate you bringing the Norwegian camo to my attention as I firg9t about the norther European side of things

Lol, I only buy from the cleanest places

[Guest Marauder211]

First bits of my loadout ordered, practical? Maybe not, but I want it to look close. And by the way, I mean this thread to be a way on how I am building my look, and it is intended to help others if they're a fan of Stalker.

[Guest Marauder211]

As it arrives I will provide links to all the things I buy, that way if you like the look you guys can buy it too if you're interested. 

 

This is the chest rig I bought:

I have a tactical ski mask and some hook and loop tape on the way for when I buy the jacket and patches.

And this stuff fits really well, and it feels durable for the respective prices I paid for them. All in all, things are coming together nicely.

Ongoing edit, links will be added as I buy the parts for this loadout

It's a real shame you can't get the old Mordor Tac Sunrise suit any more. They were great.

Damn, that IS a shame! I'd love to get something like that, I remember it used to be available back in 2019 but very limited. I don't know why, but I always found myself drawn to the Monolith in the Stalker games lol.

Pretty sure it has something to do with the whole "made in Russia" thing...

Yeah, I noticed all the stuff I wanted from Grey Shop and Military.ru (I think it's called) was gone almost as soon as the Ukraine war started, I wanted to originally do a Metro 2033 build as that is my favourite game series of all time.

Aaaaand as soon as I start getting my rig together for this loadout I find a vest that looks much closer to the vest on the Monolith suit! 😠

[Guest Marauder211]

Just got the trousers in, they are a little long in the legs but luckily there is a drawstring on the leg cuffs which means that while baggy they won't be going over my ankles. They're comfortable too. Only think I don't like is the button up part in place of a zip

Looks more like the Russian arctic stuff to me

 

 

The urban camo stuff that OP has is near enough, maybe a bit too much grey but we're not looking for an exact match!

Shit, I wish I found that before, that would look perfect!

[Guest Marauder211]

And I need to say this too, if anyone on here has a monolith loadout or anything stalker related (the games, not court orders lol), feel free to post here, I'd love to see everyone's interpretations of different factions!

I have a court order which is 'stalker' related, not sure if it's transferable tho.

Oh shit! I haven't seen that movie in forever! "Thish ish the oldesht part of Alcatrazh."

Word of warning for the Tactical World Store link: they're a Chinese shop, I didn't know this until I checked the tracking info, they have a shit ton of begative 1 star reviews on Trustpilot (https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/tacticalworldstore.com) so I'd advise looking on other places like Military 1st, but if anyone else has any good surplus stores in the UK they know of please post them here, I'd love to check them out, maybe even find something other stores don't have.

 

I'll remove the TWS link and replace it with something better if I find one

Best line in a film EVER, Ed Harris tells Sean Connery something like "People will say I'm a hero & a patriot", to which Connery replies "they might do, but personally I think your a fucking idiot"

Brit humour in a hollywood film🤣
