Permissions and credits
Description

The game is meant to be played in Veteran with this mod.

UPDATE 1.3.1: Now includes a new item preset that should heavily reduce the quantity of items available in general in the world, in stashes and in crates.


Rebalances the game difficulty settings for a more balanced and less frustrating (but not easier !) experience. This combines most of my work done on STALKER 2 until now with new changes, all in one package, consider this as GAMMA 2.

  • Less items everywhere (stashes, corpses, crates, etc, no more 45 medkits and 50 bandages) > This seem to only work on new saves sadly or on unvisited areas.
  • Much more durable armors and guns (once repaired, it won't decrease much).
  • Much more expensive repairs (this is to ensure that you better buy / find guns than repairing ones found on the ground, thus ensuring questing and exploration, using your guns and armors once repaired won't decrease much anyway).
  • Less expensive upgrades.
  • Less expensive ammo (so that you can choose which ammo you buy / what kind of weapon you play).
  • Slightly more expensive consumables (you can make money if you save them, if you lack them, your money will be used to resupply).
  • Much more squishy enemies, including humans: full auto-ing the torso is viable, no more sponges. Damages to human limbs was however decreased a lot while torso damage was doubled (if you full auto, aim for the chest, not the arms).
  • Increased Bleeding effect.
  • Decreased food HP regen.
  • More deadly NPCs (their guns deal more damage, however current armor system is fucked so if you have a good armor and they have shit guns, you won't receive much damage as you are a bloodsucker to them).
  • More deadly explosives for the player.
  • NPCs throw less grenades.
  • Increased missions money rewards.
  • Increased Bleeding damages.
