- Hello stalkers, and welcome to the sixth episode of our series about the secret underground areas of the Zone. This time we will explore the small Testing Workshop and talk about the history of the Jupiter factory and the Gauss rifle. We will try to uncover the hidden lore behind these subjects while also making some theories.

Actually, the carriage on the metal slab target for the gun is not only for adjusting range. If you see on the carriage, it has steel wires attached on the anchor point on the floor. This is a recoil compensation system, as the shot hit the plate, the carriage will roll forward, following the momentum of the shot, before being decelerated by anchored steel wires. This is done to prevent the target plate to be toppled over if the impact force of the shot is too high. You can see similar system on aircraft carrier's arresting gear for slowing down the landing aircaft or on several WW1 railway gun to compensate for the recoil
Alright that's very interesting, thanks!
I always thought it was silly (at the end of Clear Sky) that Lebedev suddenly pulls a gauss rifle out of his butt and hands it to Scar to use against Strelock. After watching this video, I realized Lebedev was a part of the development team for Item 62, so it makes much more sense that he would have had one. Very nice video!
He was not lying or bluffing when he said clear sky knew more about the zone than stalkers and military combined
Yes it was weird in Clear Sky but thankfully the explanation was given in Call of Pripyat. Thanks!
Another good one as always my dude. As always, your knowledge of the STALKER universe is so impressive.
Thank you very much :)
So after Lebedev, Suslov, and Kalancha left the lab. The monolithians have barge in and take some parts, plans or torn parts of the Gauss rifle's blueprints to make copies of them. Or, they might write the records inside the thick layered documentation book in their PDAs and send them to their higher ups. This is my theory revolving around the legendary rifle
Something like that, yes.
I like how realistic are some parts of the stalker lore. For example gauss guns are a real thing but the biggest problem with them is the ammount of energy required for them to be effective. Despite many years of technological development making compact batteries that could power an infantry weapon like that is just impossible, but with use of even basic electro artifacts energy source is no longer a problem. And it's something that would be probably done by humans in real life if zone existed. Practical usues for artifacts are almost endless, and they go far beyound what stalkers could do with them. Their supernatural nature could let humanity bypass many technological problems and it makes you wonder what companies and nations interested in them could do. It just feels so wasteful to sell them for laughable sum of cash to people like Sidorovich, who in turn will make huge money by selling them to some rich assholes that cant even comprehend the power those things hold in them.
Didn't know they actually did shady stuff at Jupiter irl. Thanks for the info. Also, I didn't realize either that in CoP Gauss rifle is a one of it's kind weapon. Although, I think there is a chance that they resumed production after CS, but after the "brain" of C-Counciousness got destroyed and also the military doing a destructive raid on them, they had to stop the production. Faction got a heavy blow on it's head, and some of their soldiers even went rouge by regaining conciousness, they could also take some of the rifles with themselves into unknown locations. If a single technician with a small workbench and some boxes of tools could reproduce the munition for it, I don't see the reason a powerful faction (before the raid of the Power Plant) couldn't do the same with all the documents, manpower, scientists and resources they had. I think after SoC, they simply didn't have time for that since they had to concentrate on maintaining existance.
Yes that's definitely possible.
Look at my man growing :) almost 6000 stalkers following! congrats, the hunting has been good!
Thank you very much Vanya! I would not be here without you :)
AS you mentioned, I hope the impassable doors, implied tunnels and entrances become available to explore in Stalker 2. I am always wondering what is behind them.
I guess we will find out in April.
I knew most of the things said in the video but i still learned something new about the Gauss Rifle. Very Good and interesting video! I hope the people of the anomalous dugout keep making videos like this.
Glad to read that, thanks!
Good job. Now I know why Monolithians visited the Testing workshop in cop and that explains how there are zombified stalkers inside.
Yes.
Great topic today. Crazy lore and theories the game series has
Yes you are right.
Hm, i never noticed that in SoC Monolith faction have a lot of Gauss Rifles, but in CoP they have only one. I think they threw everything they had to stop stalker\military incursion. Gauss Rifle probably expensive and difficult to maintain and repair, so it make sense that weakened Monolith cannot afford it as much as earlier
Yes, I think it makes sense as well.
It was only for the lore. in SoC it was just an end game gun, while in CoP there was a need to tell a story of it. And it would be hard to tell how expensive and complex is this weapon with monolithians runnig all around the pripyat with it. But there's evidence for deployment of more copies of the gauss around the zone. First of all - monolith stashes with medkits and bateries. Monolith's sleeper agent must have had the gun with no batteries on him, and when there's a mission he will have to get some from nearby stash. This way, stalkers that find out his true identity will have no way to use the gun with no ammo, so they will probably throw it away along with his body since owl/hawaiian won't buy it not knowing what it was
There's never been a single monolith sleeper agent present or told by in the game, but they must have used this tactic too since they turned a couple of guys into marked ones tasked only to kill a specific stalker
@@alpakdbz Yeah, Monolith agents infiltrating the stalker community are never seen but it's possible that they exist. Your explanation makes sense.
Great video as usual!
Thanks!
You make very good videos keep up the good work :)
Thank you :)
One more of mystery curtains from STALKER lore are opened! Good video bratan, it never cease to amaze me how you can gain all of that classified information (are you working for some intelligence agency or what?) Anyway GR are one of original exotic weapons in STALKER lore, in my hand I would love to see my enemy writhed in pain with GR butttt.... on their hands I will really hate it if they can one shot me to death....
Thanks! The Gauss rifle is indeed a terrifying weapon, both in ally and ennemy hands.
There is nothing better then 15+min stalker lore videos
Then you will like what I have left in store.
Nice
Imagine being able to use the cannon version of the gun, that would be insane. It could be effective to kill groups of zombified stalkers or blowing up a pseudogiant. Great video as always.
Yeah maybe the military will mount it on a tank? That would be crazy.
@@anomalousdugout9557 indeed it would.
The game is so well done i was scared shitless when exploring the factory, even though i wasn't underground and there were no enemies.
Jupiter is scary like Yantar. They aren't underground locations, but they has a very frightening presence.
Nice video.
Thank you.
nice video. I still remember the pain in the butt from that one guy from call of prypiat that had the gauss rifle and was shooting at me.I eventually glitched him and killed him with the Walther p99
Thanks. The fight at the hospital is quite hard, especially if you want to keep all the military men alive.
@@anomalousdugout9557 yessir it was.but not compared with the last fight when u need to run for it to the choppa.poor strelok died when I finished CoP.I could save him and fight with more monolith soldiers
Interesting
Yes.
Real Coilguns are fun to shoot, maybe not as powerful as the Gauss rifle but it's neat.
And 10:07, this means we could possibly end up with different models of gauss rifles
Never shot one myself, but I remember back in the day a classmate built an electromagnetic canon for a school project. As for the different models of gauss rifles, we already saw a new one in the trailer for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 so yeah!
A fun fact. Item 62 is a real life weapon. It is called a rail gun and they are giant. Just like the one in the underground laboratory. There are smaller versions, the size of a normal rifle called coil guns, but they are not that powerful. They can hit hard, but not as effective as a gun powder round.The EM1 is real! Also, great video man! I love that type of content.
That's right, but Gauss guns are called coil guns, not rail guns. These are two different things. But that's an easy confusion to make, no problem :)
Anyway thanks for the comment!
Man, I wish I could find a lab like this in real life. If the test lab of jupiter is real, I'm going there and stealing all the copper wire
From what I know the basement of the Jupiter factory was flooded. Who knows what is down there...
@@anomalousdugout9557 well there must be some copper- cables, wires, motors, maybe even slabs they used to machine into some armanent parts. Gold is really conductive too, so they must have used it as well
@@alpakdbz It is, but Silver has the best conduction properties. Who knows what secrets the Jupiter Factory has, that are worth to obtain. But why do you want to steal copper wires from Jupiter? You can buy these in DIY Stores :D
why would I buy something just to sell it at a lower price?
@@alpakdbz That's also true.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEW LORE VIDEO :)
Yes!
cool
Yes.
Yes my favorite
Great.
Last time i played CoP i found myself at the jupiter plant at around midnight and it was raining , utterly terrifying experience , heck i even stayed away from the relatively speaking harmless blind dogs
Yeah, the atmosphere in this location is amazing.
@@anomalousdugout9557 the actual monster encounters are less scary than the buildup , similar to dead space
How do you think gauss rifle will be back on Stalker 2? Since Cardan can make low powered batteries, do you think someone can replicate a gauss rifle but weaker in some capacity, something similar to clear sky gauss rifle? It'd be crazy to see random stalkers running around with a bootleg gauss rifle though.
According to the ending of Call of Pripyat, "it would be reasonable to assume that further secret development of the Gauss rifle is ongoing". The military is aware of this technology thanks to Major Degtyarev so they could be using new versions of the weapon in small quantities. However, my prediction is that the Gauss Rifle will be once again held by the Monolith faction. Despite the downfall of the faction after the destruction of their masters, it appears that they will be back in force in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. I believe that the rebirth of the Monolith will be connected to a restart of the activity within some of the secret labs, including the new developments of Item 62.
It will be an NFT
@@anomalousdugout9557 I think so too, but looking at Striders group I think the Monolith will be split into 2, it would be interesting to see more former Monolith members making their own faction deep in the Zone.
Another reason why there is only 1 gauss rifle in call of prypiat is most likely because the other rifles broke, got stolen by stalkers or simply lost there may be others for example in the monolith control center or around it
Yes that's probably what happened.
in Shadow of Chernobyl they have few but most of them are when your heading towards the CNPP so there probably mostly protecting key location "Chernobyl and the Palace of Culture more than having squad going around whit valuable weapon and in Call of Pripyat is only the outskirt and not the city center
From the information, plus as far as I know, the government is trying to create gauss rifles in the Stalker World, but simply put, they would probably end that project early as well, since the production of it is well enough expensive already. Along with the fact that the Monolith are hiding their batteries across the map confirms that they never examined the production documents, and how the batteries were made, and luckily, Cardan is the only Stalker who knows how to make them, would be interesting to see who will produce batteries in S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2.
Yes, I think that's right. Maybe Cardan will return and have an important role, that would be great!
Won't there be other people who also participated in the production of the Gauss Rifle? Therefore other people should also know how to make Gauss Batteries?
@@rovat6285 Yes, that's also possible.
I've been there once.. and I don't wanna go back
Alright, I understand.
So how to get behind that huge door that hides the weapon? I killed the monster, but nothing I could find to get in. Spasibo!
Nevermind, through the pipe up there.
I got a question, how would the monolithians drag carry take and capture a persuodogiant because they aren't friends.. So what if the persudogiant just attacked the monolithians but they escaped and blocked the door by somehow closing the blast door and it fell down there and couldn't get out from its weight and it would break the stairs so it stayed there somehow eating or drinking something to stay alive.
In my video about mutants where I talked about the pseudogiant, I had a theory that could explain this. The idea is that when the mutant is created (probably artificially) it is quite small at first, but then it grows very fast to its large size. This would explain how many pseudogiants appear to be trapped in places where they are too big to escape.
i thing this giant version of gaus rifle in for tank
based of testing target and size
and tanks is only big enof to cary some batteryse of shoot this
and after some test some one thing it will be allso good for infitrace
how much this metal have?
1000mm?
this is imposible to have a tank shell right that much of penetration and dont be much expensive (simple for training)
if warsaw pack have such that good anty tank weapon it could be a maine force in cold war for long time
It just makes you think how powerfull are artifacts i mean compare the iron forest with the flash artifact the size is uncomberable espacialy if it took energy from the cnpp
Yes that's right, maybe one day I'll try to calcule how powerful the flash really is.
lol nice
Yes, thanks.
@@anomalousdugout9557 do u play chernobylite?
@@harmer542 No.
@@anomalousdugout9557 ok
Monolithians could buy the batterry from clear sky
But it was a risk because they are enemies
The EM-1 from Clear Sky uses accumulators, they seem to be different than the batteries.
@@anomalousdugout9557 yeah you are right...
This might be an odd request - but do you know of any lore behind the bread, vodka, and PDA units found in the zone? The description of the bread mentions "Hard to say who manages to bake these loaves in the Zone, but the bread isn't contaminated and is perfectly edible" We never see anyone cooking, or functional ovens. Another thing not seen is cellular towers for Wi-Fi PDAs, and its hard to say such a network would operate around anomalies. Digital phone service wouldn't have been present in Ukraine at the time of the original accident, so where does all this stuff come from.
I have a personal theory that the zone in some alien way is more welcoming to stalkers than it seems - allowing communication and providing food. Blowouts/emissions to some extent stop violence - everyone is either together in cover or turned into a unified faction of zombies. Freedom and Duty while hating each other, have a unity within and a willingness to be together despite the privations of the zone. Many of the mutants are symbolic of Human fears and may be manufactured by the zone, rather than reproducing in a conventional fashion.
These are actually important questions and interesting subjects that I sadly never had the time to make a video on. Believe it or not, I had plans to make an investigation about the bread, unfortunately things did not go as planned. Maybe one day I'll finish it, but for now I cannot say.
As for PDAs I believe that they use a technology based on radiowaves and that each PDA is its own emitter. According to Sidorovich, PDAs have a range of 400 meters while bigger stations (such as the one he and other traders have) have a range of 30 km, allowing them to contact stalkers almost anywhere in the Zone.
Projet 0062, from te Soviet Unión
Nooo I’m late again
No problem :)
Might have been answered in the Q&A. But is like your character in game like a STALKER who talks about the history of the zone? Or do you only use him to visualize better? Don't know if that question made much sense...
I'm not sure about it myself. I guess it's up to the viewer to understand it however he likes.
You hear about stalker 2 having NFTs?
I cant imagine a more energy-wasting way to monetize stufc
Yes I heard the news.
Again forgot something
What is it?
