Changelogs
Version 3.0
-Implemented all changes and effects added in Stalker 2 v1.3 (vanilla) patch.
-Adjusted accuracy when shooting. See new video uploaded in the video section of this mod. For example, in vanilla there is a very exaggerated MOA multiplier for the bullet to deflect, this means that even if the barrel is aligned with the target, the bullet will deflect greatly. If in reality the gun would have a MOA of 1-2, here the equivalence would be almost 100 times more. This is independent of the recoil, which is still balanced, and in general, in this mod the recoil is higher, but by not having that artificial MOA, you can control the recoil with some skill. Try it out. The changes made in this version of the mod are almost identical to the accurate feel of shooting from the hip in a game like Escape From Tarkov, which is as close to the real thing as you can get. I'll keep improving it but the feel of the gunplay is a before and after and very enjoyable.
-Adjusted the bullet drop to make it more realistic and entertaining(check video uploaded as above). This is more enjoyable if you use mods like Shay A-Life and Let'sWoolGather.
Version 2.7
The following calibres have been nerfed for the player from latest updates (they were too op vs mutants). These changes will be noticeable with mutants, most human NPCs will still die with one headshot of this calibers:
- Adjusted 7.62x39 calibre penetration.
- Adjusted 7.62x51 calibre penetration.
- Adjusted 7.62x54 calibre penetration.
Version 2.4.5
- Compatible with Stalker 1.1.2
- VOG-25 grenades weight reduced to 250g
- HEDP grenades weight reduced to 230g
- Improved some gun dmg and range
Version 2.3
- Slightly adjusted the % weapon jamming.
- Zubr-19 now shows correct penetration.
Version 2.2
Adjusted the overall weapon jam possibility by +1% compared to the last update.
Version 2.1
- Slightly reduced weapon wear and tear since update 2.0
- Reduced base damage of pistols, SMGs and assault rifles around 7% since update 2.0
- Slightly reduced weapon jam chance compared to update 2.0
- Increased the duration of the visual effect of smoking barrels.
Version 2.0
Decreased the amount of 5.45x39 and 5.56x45 ammo found in dead NPCs from 1-10 to 0-6.
- Increased the overall recoil of assault rifles and shotguns
- Adjusted weapon ergonomics
- Increased weapon jamming probability
- Slightly increased reload time of some shotguns
- Slightly increased aiming time for some shotguns
- Changed the ballistic system of the shotguns. They are now more realistic, more brutal and have more range (I recommend the Painter of the Zone Bloody Wounds mod).
Version 1.3
- Increased the recoil of the Rhino weapon to balance it with the current damage increase and improve the feel when firing.
- Slightly increased Rhino bullet drop.
- Reduced damage of PTM 23 -> 21.
- UDP pistol damage reduced 34.5 -> 28. It was too powerful
- Increased damage of M10 from 14.5 to 17
M4 (also uniques)

- Reduced M4 recoil slightly

Description Tired of the feeling that when you shoot, the bullets seem to be scattered in a forced manner? Do you want to shoot from the hip but the bullets are going to Mun? Do you like shotguns? Then this mod is for you!
This mod focuses on improving the feeling and ballistics when shooting.
***** PLEASE READ THIS NOW *****
My balance of weapons is no longer based on calibre exclusively. I have programmed a calculator and now each weapon has a different base damage that depends on real life data: barrel length, gas system, gas loss on shell ejection, calibre dimensions and a multiplier of X.X% that slightly improves the weapons (entered manually) based on a sense of progression. This affects recoil, dispersion radius, range and weapon wear. How much does the weapon cost? How far do you have to progress to get it?
Penetration is based on ammunition. All weapons will show 1.0 pen but each caliber has different penetration wich can't be shown in the UI. - AP (armor piercing) ammunition will reduce the armor value of the target by X and that reduction will be added to the base damage, in turn, this type of ammunition has a penalty to the base damage. This is because it is intended to penetrate armour and therefore loses its expansive capability. To make it clear: AP ammunition does more damage the more armour the target has.
- HP (expansive) ammunition works in the opposite way to AP ammunition. It has a penalty to armour penetration, but multiplies the base damage. Therefore, it does more damage the less armour the target has. Like, for example, mutants.
- Increased reload time for some weapons. - Increased reload recovery for some weapons. - Completely rebalanced the gunplay of shotguns. They are now more brutal, fun and realistic. Try them! - Improved feel when playing with bolt-action rifles - Improved the dispersion of player bullets. - Adjusted bullet drop for weapons. - Adjusted bullet weight. - Adjusted weapon damage. - Adjusted the price of bullets. - Increased the duration of the visual effect of smoking barrels.
