Herbata's Custom Weapon Upgrades - HCWU

This mod is no longer functional on the latest version of Stalker. 

Downloads have been removed, and no updates are currently planned.

Starting with OXA v1. 8. 1, HCWU is available as an addon for OXA, big thanks to Oxide!

Further updates for HCWU will be made with OXA in mind!

The standalone mod requires you to use Herbata's Mod-as-DLC loader tool found here.

Unfortunately with how the game's code acts now, the Technicians upgrade trees only refresh after creating a new save, so you won't be able to apply the upgrade unless you start a new one.

The addon version will now add upgrades to already existing save files! Remember to read the Instructions on the OXA page.

Herbata's Custom Weapon Upgrades (Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl Mod)

Main point of the mod is to add further upgrade paths for all of the base game weapons, for now I'm focusing on the major weapon families.

This mod refines the weapons with a selection of realistic, performance-oriented upgrades. Drawing from real-world firearms technology, these enhancements improve reliability, accuracy, handling, and durability in the harsh conditions of the Zone.
