📋 About This Mod

No Stamina Cost, Fast Sprint, Ledge Grabbing, No Fall Dmg, Lethal Knife, Double Stealth Kill Distance, Optional: Weight Removal

This game throws you inside a big sandbox with Call of Duty-style enemies and Half Life-style platform elements as well as being a truly frustrating running/sprinting simulator without giving you the necessary tools to deal with this new "Stalker" environment, well not any more.

My mod changes the following things to keep up with the games fast combat, platform elements and long ass running sequences:

1) No stamina cost for anything

2) Fast sprint speed (+50% compared to the default with no changes to walking or running speed, jump speed is also not affected)

3) True ledge grabbing (enables you to climb over cars, fences and the likes by jumping towards the object)

4) No falling damage (you still get the short movement penalty after jumping down a large building)

5) Lethal knife with bigger range (kills most enemies with one hit, because its a fking combat knife and not some wooden stick, gun bashes are not affected)

6) Double stealth kill distance (when sneaking up behind someone with your knife equipped)

7) Optional: Also removes the carry weight for ammo, artifacts, consumables and grenades

IMPORTANT: For unknown reasons you have to get into combat after installing this mod for the sprint speed increase to work from this point on

Credits

- I got the inspiration for the knife buffs from Crystrex's "True Hunter Knife" mod, my damage numbers are way higher of course

- I used the awesome RePak tool by Saymonn to create this mod

Compatibility

This mod changes two files, if your mod changes them as well you got a conflict

1) ObjPrototypes.cfg (everything except the knife buffs)

2) MeleeWeaponPrototypes.cfg (the knife stuff)

If you choose the optional version with the weight removal then also

3) AmmoPrototypes.cfg

4) ArtifactPrototypes.cfg

5) ConsumablePrototypes.cfg

6) GrenadePrototypes.cfg

Installation

Unpack the .zip with a program of your liking (like 7z or similar) and then put the .pak file into your Stalker2\Content\Paks\~mods folder (if the folder is missing create it manually, the "~" is needed)

If you are upgrading from version 1. 0 to 1. 1: Delete the old .pak and replace it with the new one

Changelog

- Knife now ignores armor

- Double stealth kill distance

Base version

Tested on patch version 1. 8. 1
