Gamma ain't working for me (must be alaa that garbage in the soft/drivers accumulated through the years) so Escape from Pripyat was the only choice.
There was some irritating stuffs like Unload All button, which detach mags for every gun, but there's no button to unload those mags. So either painstakingly unload them (even with option to empty mag instantly instead of bullet by bullet every second) it takes a lot of time. And you need that ammo to use or dismantle and turn into your prefered calibre.
There are missions to assassinate some target with [WTF] tag... but they can be really tough even with good gear - getting destroyed by some shotguns (usually Armsel Protecta) even with maxed out bulletproof resistance in my exo. Oh and if we gather enough rep they start sending bounty hunters at us. Remember Alpha Squad from SGM/Sigerous Mod? Yeah...
You can get new guns by running "[WTP] Equip" missions (you get info about NPC with gun in perfect condition, which is impossible to find in Misery-based mods and projects like ANomaly) or pick Transactions and open these chests/packages at the cost of rep loss.
You can get better artifacts via transmutation, which requires addons for Veles/Svarog detector and recipes on flashdrives. Pull out detector, drop the artifact and required mutant skin or meat.
Which is similar to Solanka mods where you put ingredients together and make a new one. At least you don't need to sit in the anomaly to drop them...
Another source of good arts? Medics can tell you which anomaly have good one via "Artifacts For Everyone" - at the cost of reputation loss when you pick it up. But if you do a lot of tasks then it doesn't matter.
Otherwise there's really small chance to find them traditional way even with Geologist achievement.
Sometimes your targets starts jumping between levels in weird way, crossing the Zone in one go. Quite annoying without fast traveling.
Bar is bloated - either by my stashes or amount of NPCs. Loading requires closing the game via Task Manager and loading autosave. Other maps works just fine.
Lootboxes are nice bonus, took me awhile before discovering that you can bundle lockpicks and not load them one by one... my fingers.
Nightvision doesn't work for me, iirc it's DX10/11 exclusive feature. What. Seems like my plan to visit Red Forest at night and poke people+animals with machete have to wait. Stabbin' in general, along with crafting and cooking, is best money saving method. I just wish that game didn't close crafting screen every time you craft something. Making more ammo takes even longer because you need to open them again (and with a lot of items - wait awhile to load. Every. Time).
PDA upgrade let you see corpses again, great tool in Red Forest if you like to scavenge some loot left behind...
