"Stalker 2" major update is launched: combat system improvements and weapon adjustments!

Today, the major update patch for version 1.4 of "Story 2: Heart of Chernobyl" was officially launched, bringing more than 700 repairs and improvements, mainly focusing on the adjustment of the combat system and game balance.

This 1.4 patch has greatly optimized the combat system and added a new alert state. The characters can use trees as cover, making the animation more smooth. In addition, melee combat becomes more difficult under the difficulty of "Veteran" and "Stalker"; human enemies will use grenades to clear hidden targets and no longer have cooldowns; shooting distances have also been adjusted.

In addition to combat improvements, this update also adjusted the balance of the game, including increasing the armor-piercing value of the RPM-74 weapon, increasing the damage and shock distance of the RPG, fixing some bugs and technical updates. These updates also involve optimization of NPC pathfinding, improvements in NPC script animation, enhancement of indoor and outdoor grenade throwing, and improvements in facial animation.
