@sharp veldt
Can we expect patch with all the fixes this week or next one ?
@distant vector
Working to get the hotfix patch fast, once we are 100% sure when it will be ready I will get the update
@hoary sparrow
Is there new game plus?
@distant vector
still a spoiler
@weary mirage
Will there be a mod browser like with the original trilogy on consoles? It'd be cool to have mods for this game.
@distant vector
We are going to share more details on our official mod support soon
@willow salmon
Are you going to increase the numbers of markers I can put on the map? I'd like to mark a LOT and with only 10 well... :(
@distant vector
Thanks for your feedback, we will discuss this suggestion. This is the first time I see someone who wants to increase the limit, though, if someone else also think it is a good idea, would be glad if you react this answer)
@tidal mango
We know you guys are working hard on forces, but since the reports we have of A-Life not working as expected and like previous games, what could we expect of A-Life be after fixed?
@distant vector
We are going to make visible improvements, A-life will feel better, we are working hard to fix it
@mellow nacelle
Hello and congrats on releasing stalker 2! Could you elaborate on why the mentioning about a-life has been removed from the store page?
@distant vector
I was answering that question even before the game was released. It was just an update of a marketing text aimed at newer players to avoid the repetition in text. =)
In no way we were trying to hide it.
Unfortunately, there are issues with A-life right now. We know about them and we are fixing them atm.
@spring quarry
Where can you report bugs
@distant vector
The best way is to check #s2-support and go by the links here

I might just be blind, but I don't see a keybind for the headlamp? I'd like to bind it to a side button on my mouse but I only see the option for the radial menu keybind, not the direct headlamp one (set to L by default)

@silver raft
Is there plans to improve/"buff" the flashlight? The game is extremely dark as is and I feel like you can't see 5 feet in front of you even with it on.
It makes trying to be stealthy very hard at night (especially when the enemies feel like they have night vision), and is made worse by the very weird timing cycles of day and night.
@distant vector
We’re also receiving a lot of feedback on the complex issue of night visibility and the overall day/night cycle. Rest assured, we’re not ignoring these concerns. The team is aware of them.
In general, we’re actively discussing the aspects stalkers find unsatisfactory and exploring the best ways to improve your experience.
@rich pawn
Are you guys aware of the massive memory leaks happening right now? Are they being fixed and do you guys have a recommendation on how to counter it now?

@runic oxide
Hey GSC, I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been a huge fan of the series since the first game, and I don't know how many times I've played it. Since Call of Pripyat, I've been waiting for a worthy successor, and what can I say. You've done it. At the moment, it's my game of the year. If you fix the A-Live, it'll be my game of the decade. It has the soul of a real stalker game. So keep it up. Now to my question. Until now, the swamps were to the left of Cordon. But with the connected map, you can see that the swamps are to the right. What kind of detour did Scar always take in Clear Sky? Did he drink too much vodka? :-D
@distant vector
Maybe, he enjoys good old fun things
@potent hull
what are your plans to optimize the game during it's life span to make sure everyone has a smooth enough experience where they can enjoy the zone without to many hiccups

We are still working on future improvements for the Zone experience. Optimization fixes included
@merry moth
I can understand that armor protects body and helmet head, how is that with full suits.

@dim basalt
Have repair prices been discussed? Are they tied to difficulty too or no? Will they maybe be lowered without the use of mods? Thank you
@distant vector
Yeah, we were discussing them and maybe will revaluate at some point. Now we are checking how the fix of mutant health and sell prices impacted the economy.
As always, we are also looking at the playerbase feedback. In-game economy is not in set and forget state, but we are approaching the changes carefully.

@signal fable
After picking up the artifact 'Weird Bolt' the game crashes after the emission starts, will there be a fix? I already lost the save before I picked it up, the problem is common.
@distant vector
The fix is cooking to be ready for the next hotfixes, working on it
@stiff canopy
Any plans to re-evaluate weapon ballance? Weapons like the RPG and Gauss rifle feel really underwhelming, especially compared to previous games. Also it's odd that guns of the same bullet calliber have different penetration and dammage stats. Makes using guns like the AKM in the end game much less viable than in the previous games IMO.
@distant vector
We have some discussions about the balance of end-game weapons. We would really want them to be cool shiny toys for the endgame, so some changes are possible.

Will devs fix the stats tab on weapons? It looks like being bugged and shows wrong info. How can all weapons have same 5 bar of fire rate, and things like ".45 acp and 9x19 are weaker than 9x18", "smg and pistol have more pen than early game AR" just dont make sense at all.

If you kill stalkers it caan ruin your reputation with a faction.
To solve this issue, you need to wait out the state of “hostility” (avoiding conflicts so as not to further lower your reputation), and after a while you will have the opportunity to restore your reputation with the faction for money.

Approximately when will the next iteration of the "A-Life" fix be coming?
@oak rivet
With each patch we are fixing A-Life. As a core pillar of the game, we clearly understand the importance of this system working correctly, but I don't have estimates for you, since I'm not involved in planning the updates. But in general — as soon as ready.

Is there possibility of making so that when you hold artifact in your hand, it also gives you statistics of the artifact - what effects does it have. Right now after gathering an artifact the only use for holding artifact in your hand is to have a better look at it. Or making cool screenshots. I would use this option way often as a way to check the artifact effects without having to open the inventory.

Cool idea for the future, tbh, I like it, will share with the team =)

To what degree are you willing to fix the mutants? ATM they are very spongy and have extremely poor AI. They do not feel engaging to fight with at all.

Different tweaks to various aspects of the game. Some balance changes and QoL things, fixes to most common walkthrough blockers.

Hello, although I pre-ordered the game, it’s now with version 1.3 that I’m playing the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. campaign, and I can notice many changes compared to the launch version. The effort is really evident. Now that I’m halfway through the game, I’m already thinking about playing it again once I finish, making different decisions. This brings a question to my mind: are you considering adding a NG+ feature to make the early hours of the campaign more enjoyable? Thank you so much and best of luck, with love from Spain.

Is there any chance that you'd reconsider adding Steam workshop support? If it does end up getting added, then that will end up being where 80% of the mods get published and the Microsoft store version of the game will be almost entirely forgotten by modders.

Hello. I just recently started a new game (really enjoy it!) and started thinking about a few things.
First - are you familiar with the Misery mod for Stalker CoP?
Second - I read somewhere here before that you guys have been considering mutant loot, are you guys also considering cooking bits of meat they might drop?
And third - One of the things I enjoy about this game is the immersive nature of it, the vibe. I was wondering if in the future you'd consider other types of loot? Knick knacks, junk, random bits of fluff loot that gives a sense of life before the CNPP disaster?
Thanks!

@distant vector
The next patch is going to have the improvements to mutants behavior, with improved alert state and reactions to what is around them + Improved mutant behavior during combat in general.

In the legends of the zone trilogy on pc that was just announced. Is modding going to be limited like it is on consoles?

Ports of great mods like doom's mod merge for Shadow of chornobyl or Misery for Call of Pripyat doesn't seem possible with it like it is now, unless I am misreading?

Поки всім цим займається, зав'язується якийсь неочікуваний сюжет, ну типу клієнт почав щось розказувати чи кудись послали і на щось не звичне наткнувся, щоб був не очікуваний поворот, щоб потім в кінці розкрилася якась страшна тайна чи битва з босом була, щось типу того(і щоб були секретні завдання, щоб для отримання треба якусь дії провести, щоб можна було активувати завдання). А ще будь ласка змініть механіку артефактів, щоб вони давали не тільки захист, а наприклад: шкода від куль чи від вибухів, і щоб мали якусь здібність і можна було її активувати. І додайте нових мутантів, і щоб нові мутанти були б ще боси(і можна б наприклад їх знаходити завдяки побічним завданням).

Could we have a mutant that is an oversized indigenous turtle that can retract and shelter within its bullet resistant shell, then will follow a player across the map very slowly, but with the same persistence as the rat swarms or a Burer? You might even allow some of the other mutants (or even the player) to ride its back, especially to cross water. Snapping would be its only attack, but it wouldn't make much noise because of its slow speed.

Hey!
I was wondering if Tiered reloading was ever going to be implement as a feature. As currently if you switch weapons during a reload the animation has to start again which given the game feels goofy. If the magazine/ammunition is already out of the weapon a tiered reloading mechanic would recognise this and finish the remainder of the animation when switching back to said firearm.
Technically this already exists with Shotguns with tubular magazines (I forgot they;re in game names). Would be a great addition and a slight buff to manually loaded shotguns i.e the toz and "boom stick"
Fairly simple addition that already exists but only for 2 firearms. Would be a great addition to combat.
Cheers for all the hardwork.
@distant vector
In the next 1.5 patch we are adding reload renewal feature for all of the weapons.
@surreal ember
I'm a huge botanical nerd. I noticed Giant hogweed Heracleum mantegazzianum in the game. Ever consider or think of making this a chemical exposure when in proximity of this botanical abomination?

@amber meadow
Will there ever be a reason for AP ammo to exist? I'm killing exosuits with 3 rounds of ball from the dinipro with headshots. Mods added extensive flinch animations and full on windows where you couldn't damage the head again to ensure exosuits actually mattered and you wanted to use AP ammo.
@distant vector
We are still working on improving the game balance for the truly hardcore stalkers. F.e., in 1.5 we reworked ammo for machine guns and sniper rifles
@amber meadow
Are the devs going to take another pass on weapon and suit balance? The current state of mutant bullet sponges forces you to need a shotgun and the saiga removes all other shotguns. It's lighter, more ammo, and semi auto compared to every other shotgun. Mods balanced it out with magazine capacity on suits and added light weight pump shotguns that could go into the pistol slot. End game suits all devolve into 2 suits before exos, weight carried needs to vary by suit and be added to more medium tier armors. Is the convoy armor terrible on purpose for story reasons??
@distant vector
Mutant bullet sponginess topic is on our radar and we are aware that some players feel that way, so we are exploring different solutions to improve your experience fighting mutants.
This is a complex issue, so we try to make sure to get things right: so balancing things right is the key.

Hey, This is the Zone Kit Phase 1 and yes, we are making it possible for mods to appear on Xbox. However, due to technical reasons and limitations, to post the Mod for Xbox it is required that we (GSC) take a look at it and test it.
Currently, the Zone Kit Phase 1 was just launched and we are evaluating our own testing capacities, building processes and pipelines to put more mods on Xbox. Some of the most popular mods should sooner or later appear on the Xbox.
But of course in the future we will fix this issue. When it will happen — no exact dates can be shared, but we want to automate the process as soon as possible, so more mods on Xbox can appear without hustle.

@distant vector

Maybe also allowing warlock to give the player quests again after you save Zalissiya. The world is amazing and its a shame that a few regions feel a bit underutilized.
Respawning Stashes would be great too for revisiting places, maybe allowing stash locations from kills and PDAs, quests or maybe on a timer refilling stashes that have already been looted by the player in the past? Having at least 1 somewhat valuable item be in there would be amazing.
Excited for future improvements and additions.

Hey, thank you for your detailed feedback. We are still working on the future changes and exploring different options on how to enhance the immersion. Can't share any details yet
@gritty cipher
Any plan to implement a way to view overall gear statistics?
Especially to know better how Artifacts and Consumables improves/decreases our Resistance stats since all of them are reflected in ambiguous text like "Weak", "Strong", "Maximum".
Making the text into numbers or percentage would also be infinitely better imo, since I reckon that Weak for Radiation Resist doesn't have the same value for Weak for Physical Resist.
@distant vector
We were thinking about that but decided not to overcomplicate descriptions. You are correct that Weak stat for one attribute does not give the exact same numerical value as Weak stat for other attribute, but they are good for comparing relative power in the same attribute group.
So, basically, we decided to make artifact management and evaluation easier for newer players, expecting hardcore stalkers to find out what works best for them anyways as they always do.
Also, it keeps them a bit more mysterious, kind of.

#Mol1t, will the texture bug be fixed on console? There's a weird bug where un-modded and modded saves where the actual textures sort of blur out or go permanently low poly, I've seen it on my map and in the open world, it absolutely shattered my immersion and I really hope I'm making sense here. Is this a user error or something regarding a new bug that popped up?
-I'm really grateful to hear more about s2 down the road, much love!

This is 2 different questions.
Question 1 is about the mod tools that yall have released. Why is thier such a huge difference in mods available for PC compared to xbox. On PC you have weapon mods attachment mods and item spawner mods. Why aren't these albe to be on the Xbox version as well. Is just the difficulty to make mods for xbox or is it a lack of mod tools for xbox? Question 2 what other weapons are yall thinking of adding to stalker 2?

The answer for that is the need to test and greenlight all the xbox mods ourselves. We are working on the future more convenient solution.

@covert depot
What do you mean by "rebalancing" the loot throughout the zone? Is it just tweaking the rarity of certain items or maybe adding rng chance of spawn of weapon attachments alongside guaranteed attachments at certain spots how it is currently in the game?
@distant vector
TLDR of stash rebalance:
On average, there is more loot in stashes.
There is less filler loot in locations - increased importance of stashes.
Hard stashes have more valuable rewards on average.
Loot in stashes scales better with story progression. (Lesser Zone means less and worse loot than endgame regions.)
@torn dock
Will you change only loot in stashes, or their location too?
@distant vector
For the majority of them only loot
@wanton solar
When there was stash rebalance mentioned I thought that this would also include being able to loot money from some stashes. Like for example a stash made by Scar with all his money before entering garbage. (I know that the money is stored on pda's, but someone could have left an flashdrive with some money, or unlocked pda. Is that planned, or was never an idea?

What happened to the mods on console ? Why are there no new ones for a while ?
@oak rivet
All mods on Xbox require our (GSC) involvement. We need to test the mods on our side first, before greenlighting them for release on Xbox.
After each major update, there is a chance that some mods needs to be resubmitted because of the changes. And to test those for Xbox takes time. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
This time it took more. We already improved processes for the next major update but still, delays may happen, because each modification is unique in its size, scale, and technical complexity.

Hi everyone,
I’ve already asked this question several times in the GSC Ask section, but I haven’t received any response from the developers, so I’m trying my luck here.
My question is: Will there be any DLCs?
I purchased the version that includes all future DLCs, but so far there hasn’t been any mention of them — and considering the game has been out for almost a year, I thought we might have at least some information by now.
My second question is: Do you plan to add anything like a base or a shelter for the Skif?
Some kind of personal place to store gear or rest would be great.
Thank you to anyone who has any answers. And if not, please just understand that I’ve been trying to ask the developers for a long time without any success.
@distant vector
Hello,

The ARG that's currently going on is probably the most interesting and impressive I've ever personally seen, at least when it comes to video game-related ARGs.
Do you have someone(s) on the team with experience (or currently employed) in cybersecurity? I only ask because the real-world puzzles in this ARG seem more akin to a CTF event at DefCon than your traditional ARG stuff. Decoding base64, decoding hexadecimal, that thing where you translate colors into their hex value and then decode that, the thing with that TV signal, steganography, etc.
It's all really impressive.
@distant vector
Maybe we are, but I can't say for sure =) Glad that you are enjoying ARGs we made, I know it means a lot for guys who were designing them
@torn mulch
Hi there.
Why is the master difficulty only available at the start of the game? Are you really asking the playerbase to start an entirely new game, after they spend a few hundred hours in the game already, just to experience a higher difficulty? I think most people want a higher difficulty because they unlocked all the good gear which makes the game too easy to wander through. It would make more sense to give the ability to activate the difficulty then. Like make it a "you can only switch to this difficulty once" kind of thing.
@distant vector
We want master difficulty to be an ultimate challenge, something you can proudly share you have beaten, so it will be as is for now.

Numerous fixes and improvements to the A-Life system, so now factions can expand control over new territories. This means they may also lose control over their lands if they fail to defend them.

Question 247 - Heart of Chornobyl: AI flanking the player when? 2038? 2058?
@distant vector
With Update 1.7, enemies have real problems detecting you in tall grass or reeds, and are much less accurate when shooting through the bushes. Swamp shootouts will feel fair at last! You can now use the greenery to your full advantage, but be cautious – the closer you are to an enemy, the more likely you are to be spotted.
Mutants and NPCs have also learned to retreat from the fight if they realize that chances for survival are low. They will also try to flank more actively, and choose a distance to fight from that best suits their weapon.

If you cannot access the mod browser to remove the mods while in game, you may remove them manually from the drive by deleting the C:\Users\Public\mod.io\5761\mods folder.

In the Name of Science - Waiting for your reward from Shcherba.
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to progress. It's been like this for over ten hours of play since doing that mission. Is this a bug or am I missing something ?

Hello! I was running the v1.6 game on PCGamePass and purchased the game on PC Xbox app/Microsoft store to keep playing after leaving game pass. My PC Xbox app/Microsoft store will not update to v1.7 which has been out a few days now. I've tried resetting Xbox app and windows store app, SFC /scannow. Still no update. If I launch the game, there is no version number to be seen, and patch notes still say 1.6 in the bottom right. Version number in Xbox app is Version: 1.7.2171.0 , last updated 9/11/2025.

@distant vector
We don't have anything that uses 7.62x39, but we have a bug, which is that players who started playing on patch 1.5.0-1.5.1 can encounter these rounds. This happened because of bug when integrating the ammo rework.
Players who started a new game before or after these patches will not encounter this type of ammunition.

This might be caused by mod conflicts
You can do this:
Disable any cloud saves
Back up the SaveGames folder containing your current saves - \AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved%PlatformName%
Unsubscribe from mods (in Steam Workshop, Mod.IO) + clean manually (for Steam, check everything and delete here \Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1643320\ )
Completely delete the folder \S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl\Stalker2\Content\Paks~mods
Delete local saves, the entire Stalker2 folder. Path - \AppData\Local\Stalker2
Launch the title (agree to send data and accept the license agreement)

Hi,
Thank you so much for creating such an amazing ARG! It was a fantastic experience, solving each step, learning a lot of new stuff and collaborating with other players over the last weeks.
As of now, it seems that we as a community solved the existing clues and accessed all in-game ARG elements added in 1.6 patch legitimately (including the Malachite safe code), but there are still some unclosed leads, that imply some further stages in this ARG. I wanted to ask, do you have any plans for continuing this ARG in the nearest future? I understand that such information may break the spirit of mystery a little or may lead to something that cannot be disclosured at the moment, but it would be great to hear any news on this topic, since it was a long time since the latest ARG update.

It makes some sections like the elecrto's in Gonta's quest where you hunt the burer require pixel perfect positioning to pass.

Hope everyone on the GSC team is safe and I wanted to start by saying thank you for this game. Loving STALKER 2, bought it on PS5 and have put about 190 hours into it. Just had an issue come up that has been plaguing my Veteran playthrough and it just keeps getting progressively worse.
For context, I have sided against Ward, and decided to free roam right before the very last mission Down Below, the point of no return and finish up all of my side missions. I have been constantly coming into contact with Ward squads all over the zone, which itself isn't an issue, however they are aware of me no matter how far away I am with no warning detection indicator saying I have been found. When I hide they can tell where I am through walls, shoot through the walls, and if the Ward shooter has an RPM-74 (they do in almost every contact I have had), they kill me instantly. Below I will Post my short clips that show you exactly what is going on.
This one was too big for us to respond witht the bot, I cropped it a little. So, tldr: we have some reports of A-life NPCs oneshoting or dealing too much damage, and we are investigating what's going on

The Unload button is available in your backpack.
Not all weapons can be loaded, so if the weapon is empty, the button will not be available.

Welcome back Mol1t , hope your holiday was restful.
I was just curious if the art book that was recently released the same one as the art book that came in the physical ultimate collectors edition for the game as I already have it and I don't want to double up on books of they're the same

The zone is being studied from scientist for more than a decade now. Mutants have developed subspecies or local varieties depending on their environment.
Do the scientist have started any biological classification / taxonomy with scientific names for the mutants of the zone? can we have more info on them?

Pls share more details about 1.9
@distant vector
So, few updates on the next Update. We decided that it is not "correct" to call it 1.9 coz all our previous "numbered" were quite big. It's going to be a free Mission Update that contains a new mission, new location, some bug fixes and new loading screens.
It was probably my mistake to get you overhyped too early about next update.

Update on physical editions pre-order delivery in Ukraine
Оновлення щодо доставки попередніх замовлень на фізичні видання в Україні
Ми отримали повідомлення від ERC (нашого українського дистриб'ютора) про те, що судно з нашими фізичними виданнями затримується через блокування Іраном Ормузької протоки, через яку не можуть пройти численні судна, що вже вплинуло на терміни доставки вантажу до України. Отже, це означає, що доставка попередніх замовлень на фізичні видання від Moyo гравцям в Україні відбудеться пізніше, ніж планувалося спочатку — за поточними оцінками, виконання замовлень затримується до другої половини квітня. Команда ERC/MOYO наразі працює над підготовкою офіційного повідомлення з цього приводу з усіма деталями

@unborn shadow
You mentioned earlier that the next patch would not be version 1.9 and would include a small amount of new content. However, now you’ve said that patch 1.9 is planned for release in April.
Could you please clarify: should we expect a smaller patch with a new quest this month before patch 1.9, or will that update actually be patch 1.9 and release in April? Or will there be another patch in April that is not version 1.9?
@distant vector
That smaller update that we called 1.9 before and that is currently in testing is aimed at early April

Hi everyone 👋
I have a question regarding the recent changes to configuration files.
After one of the latest patches, configuration files in the game were converted to a .bin format, which seems to prevent direct modification and improves data protection. This looks like a great feature.
I would like to ask the developers: is there any possibility to create similar protected or binary configuration patches using ZoneKit? For example, to hide certain values such as formulas or numbers in order to prevent spoilers or protect mod data.
Or is this functionality strictly limited to internal developer tools, meaning that regular modders are expected to work only with open and accessible configuration files?
Thank you for your clarification!
@distant vector
This feature was created for performance optimization of the loading process. Protection is a side effect, not a main purpose.
At this moment we don't have any plans for binarization of modified configs, you should be able to patch binary configs without any issues via regular loose .cfg files or .cfg_patch_ files.
@dreamy spruce
Is something coming out of x18? A mutant horde perhaps?
@distant vector
erhm, you will see =)
distant vector
solid elbow
just to add, you can find the non binary cfg files through the sdk and use the Lesser Zone Kit to modify and package them

The subtitles on the radio are missing, especially the first line of dialogue. From the second line onward, they display normally — particularly after the Noontide missions. ps5 version.

@clever glen
Hoping this one will get answered.
Since we're getting more and more side story content, I was thinking, would it be possible to reclaim the northern farmstead in Cordon for the Loners?
I remember in Clear Sky how Loners were pretty established there, would be nice to settle back in there and clean up the place as part of a side story.
I also remember that there was a side quest from Wolf in Shadow of Chernobyl that had Strelok clear out the place of mutants so they could set up an outpost.

Any plans to fix the bug that makes peoples hair white in cutscenes? This is most noticeable in the cutscene where doctor and strider fight, and due to the bug they both look like santa claus.

Please fix this soon so I can enjoy these awesome cinematics without glowing white hair lol
