>Strelok - The Professional
>"rifles are for beginners" as they let you keep a distance from your target; a true professional gets up close.
- use stealth and deception against human opponents
- play defensively and lead them into ambushes
- no object in your inventory should exceed 5kgs, armor, weapons, ammo, medkits and so on.
- total inventory should not exceed 30kgs, at least not while starting out from the Bar or other hubs
*An easy way to respect this rule is to not use any armor; this is also an easy way to forge an intense relationship with bullets and any mutants that might brush up against you.
- pistols and SMGs are given preference, slap a silencer and go to work
- only shotgun allowed is the sawn-off
- whenever the opportunity presents itself, backstab motherfuckers and bloodsuckers.
- keep one and only one grenade on you, at all times. It will be your last resort.

I've been thinking about doing weekly challenges on /stalker/ that would require stalkers to post video or screenshots of them in game.
Something like a hunting challenge. Where stalkers have to bring back footage of themselves killing a specified mutant.
I've been toying with a few other ideas. Just a thought right now really.

>>471Tejas Stalker from the GSC forums does this sort of thing, or used to a few years back.
Check out his Liquidator challenges, and feel free to plagiarize some of them.

This one's pretty simple, disregard conventional weapons entirely and only make use of explosive ordnance. Grenades, the grenade launcher and the rocket launcher. Assault rifles strapped with grenade launchers are also fine, as long as you only use them for the purpose of blowing shit up.
You'll be forced to get a little inventive, especially in the beginning where you don't have access to anything more than a handful of grenades, so brush up on your knifing skills, or your ninja running skills, some fights you'll just have to avoid until you can make things explode regularly.
*You are allowed to use one particular weapon other than grenade and rocket launchers, the Gauss gun. On the grounds that it's not a conventional weapon, that you can't get your hands on it until late in the game, and that you might need something to snipe with eventually. It's also pretty rad.
