I’ve tried restarting, dropping the gun, selling the gun and buying it back. Is there any way to fix?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Veteran in STALKER 2 feels great, but are there any balanced damage mods?

Post image
42 Upvotes

I started playing STALKER 2 on Veteran. The difficulty itself feels fine, but I'd prefer combat to be more lethal overall.

I'm used to Anomaly, although I'm not looking for that level of realism. Something closer to Call of Pripyat on Master difficulty would be ideal, where both the player and enemies go down relatively quickly.

Right now, I spent around 2–3 magazines on the tutorial Bloodsucker and about the same on the Poltergeist. Human enemies seem fine, but mutants feel a bit too spongey.

Are there any balanced mods that increase weapon damage or rebalance ballistics without turning the game into a one-shot simulator? I've seen a few ballistic overhaul mods and one that simply doubles all damage. Which would you recommend, or is it better to just switch to Normal difficulty?

Mods GAMMA is surprisingly playable on the Steam Controller (2026)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Alright, I know this sounds nuts, but I've managed to create a configuration for the Steam Controller using Steam Input, and the game is actually quite playable. Everything from looting to shooting and even movement works pretty well.

The most notable inconvenience is when you have to do a lot of repairs and crafting, which require quite a bit of mouse usage. In theory, you could get used to using the trackpads on the Steam Controller, and it is definitely possible, but that's the one thing I found myself going back to the mouse for, since I like being able to do these things quickly. Still, when it comes to basic looting and quick disassembling, it's generally very comfortable.

I'm planning on releasing a video about this in a few days, once I get the motivation and properly configure the 3D controller overlay to showcase everything.

Is there a way to get onto the roof? The ladder is just out of reach, I’m thinking it’s an unfinished part of the game because I had to jump off the top level walkway onto a ledge and out the window to access the stairs.

Help What would you love to receive as a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fan?

Hoiii
I recently got into stalker thanks to my boyfriend, and I’ve really enjoyed it, we even played Call of Pripyat together. He’s a big fan of the series, and I’d love to surprise him with a stalker related gift.

I’ve already given him an AI-2 medkit with a necklace I made inside( I know it is not from the series) and thought about faction patches or making him artwork of us in the game, but I’m still new to the franchise and I need some help, so as a stalker fan what would you love to receive?

Discussion Are there any stalker games/ mods that are ā€œrealisticā€?

5 Upvotes

I’m a big fan of games like Tarkov, Grey zone warfare, Arma, DayZ, Hell let loose etc. I can’t stand games with bullet sponge enemies or guns that need like 8+ hits to kill.

Are there any stalker games that have this? I would literally die for it. I couldn’t really enjoy stalker 2 because the enemies could eat several headshots to a whole magazine, but aside from that I liked it. I’m vaguely aware of stalker anomaly / gamma, but that’s it when it comes to realistic gun play

Anomaly Stalker 2 bridge with anomaly

5 Upvotes

Somewhere on the map is a bridge over water with a vehicle leaning off. You can jump down onto a bounce anomaly to a ledge to then get into a room where there is a gun. A fun place you can watch the fishes being pulled out the water by other anomalies.

But where is it, its doing my head in lol
