I didn't like going to the Burnt forest or the Duga, there were no real bases besides Cordon which was a hike, Zalissya was pretty much useless later in the game.
I think something in my game broke, because when I went back to Zalissya for the first time in like 20+ hours, almost everyone there was dead, including the tech and guide, lol.
That happened to me also in my first play through, after defending Zalissya from the Monolith, you have to complete two side quests given to you, if you don't do both the base will fall with everyone dead.
Carry and sell as many weapons as you can, there is a number of artifacts that can help you with weight as well.
I would just get a mod that reduces repair costs, that's probably easier. Though to be fair, I used that for my first playthrough and ended up with a ton of money, so maybe it doesn't need to be tweaked too much...
I would try this one - this worked for me. Plus you can adjust carry weight and stuff too.
Never mod your first playthrough. And it might not be your first. Just saying.So it looks like you still cannot sell or scrap red conditioned guns. Have amassed a big stockpile of them already.
I will say that so far, the game runs quite smooth, especially for a UE5 game. I am not getting much if any stuttering. The town areas drop frame rates a lot but frame generation smooths it out to be playable. Maybe it gets worse in other parts of the map but I am impressed with the lack of stuttering even if the frame rate itself drops in certain areas.
For some reason this one does not seem to work.
Have each of the folders in the following directory:
Stalker2\Content\Paks\~mods
With only 1 file for the Longer Days 2, Repair Cost & Carry Weight. Also placed the "fomod" folder there in the ~mods folder, not sure if that is correct?
Carry weight still seems to be the default (80 if I recall).
Edit: With/without the mod I cannot seem to spring anymore. No matter what I remove from the inventory, I cannot sprint. I have to revert to an old save to sprint. Any fix for this?
Nonsense. Some games have boneheaded design or UI decisions that should be fixed immediately
Should work - make sure you are only selecting one file per folder, or none if you don't want that functionality. Delete the other files. I use Vortex to manage my mods and I think it gives you the choice there. I know it was working for me in the latest patch, so it must be something on your end.So it looks like you still cannot sell or scrap red conditioned guns.

For this game I disagree. Or at least let me say this - try it vanilla, then seek out mods when various things annoy you to the point of wanting to quit playing.
Weird, because none of those mods modify anything about sprinting or stamina. I haven't experienced any of those issues before. Almost seems like something else was going on, but I'm not sure what.
There's also a Backpacks mod that adds progressively better backpacks you can buy/find to let you carry more.
Or you can get the artifacts that increase weight carrying ability, one of the best ones being weird water which grants +40kg, I made it a point to hunt down the best artifacts in the game.
Nice! The backpacks mod is also cool in that it adds other wearable stuff, like armor plates or hydration packs, which affect your character in other ways as well.
Found an M14 to but now that is not for sale in the shop. Well, have the SVD still.
Two of the best suits in the game are the Diamond exoskeleton which you will find in Yaniv, and the PSV-91 Falcon found in Malachite. You can find the Seva-D suit early on in the cement factory zone, it's also a very good suit.. There are other suits you can find, but those three are probably the best in the game, also which I mainly used.I have one that does a modest increase. Some backpacks can be upgraded as well, was keeping one with + 2.7kg for a long time but now it is just not enough protection. There is another one for sale that can be upgraded (Ecologist suit) but costs more than I have, even if I sold the 2-3 extra suits I found.
Have you played any of the Stalker series before this, if you did you would remember that your character starts off with the bare minimum and you develop it over the course of the game. Better suits, weapons and artifacts that help with things like protection from elements, stamina and sprinting, backpack weight increase and more. I posted the game guide previously, it explains everything you need to know. The game is loaded with artifacts that can help you, just keep in mind that many give off radiation that will eventually kill you, so you need a suit that you can upgrade to leaded containers.
This.
Well, you can play it any way you want to, but when you start adding mods and changing the way it's supposed to be played it's no longer Stalker, it's something else.
I don't know but it seems we played two different games, I played the game four times to get all four endings and every time it was different content, especially the ending missions. I found the zone to be a living breathing world full of horror, I hated getting attacked by bloodsuckers, especially at night. I played all the original Stalker games and this one didn't disappoint. But it's not for everybody, some people love it while others find it's not for them, and that's okay too.
You're not wrong, but for me it comes down to QOL and how I want to be able to play the game. I don't have a ton of time each day to play a game, so if I can install some mods that improve QOL and save me some time so I can get to the meat of the game quicker, I'm going to do that.
I honestly find it (in vanilla state) to be more grindy and less respectful of my time than GAMMA, which is meant overall to be a more difficult experience. At least in GAMMA you have way more stamina and the world is way more populated.
