Modular Hard Mode

Modular Hard Mode 2 offers a wide variety of new features and additions compared to previous iterations. 2. 0 focuses on laying the foundation for the current largest overhaul available for S. T. A. L. K. E. R 2. With a emphasis on Difficulty and Economy balance, sandboxing, rewarding gameplay loop, diverse and interesting loot, new ultra rare Legendary Stalker suits, complex and dynamic loot generation system, faction specific loadouts for loot drops, armor rework system with new effects and upgrades, weapon and ballistics overhaul, physical and environmental protection scaling rework, new situational consumables and much, much more. This is not a simple config based overhaul like most and adds several new effects and upgrades for consumables and armors, new stalker suits, abilities for mutants, so on and so forth.

New with update 2. 0, Modular Hard Mode now has proper integration support and is now additionally balanced around some incredible mods that the community has created such as Pillhead, Project Itemization, Mutant Loot, Faction Patches, OXA and Real Weapon Names. Installation instructions are found near the end of this page.

This update also introduces AIO - All in one. Which contains all available modules in one . Pak with Add-on support - It is highly advised to use the AIO version if you're looking for a fully balanced experience. Modular Hard Mode will focus on supporting curated community mod integration which help drives the overall feature set of the overhaul if it continues to fit the S. T. A. L. K. E. R universe and MHM's vision, and of course - will always be reintegrated and rebalanced properly to ensure consistency with Modular Hard Mode's balance goals and may not include all additions from community mods.

MHM is meant to be used all together as each module is balanced for one another, but also sticks to a modular format to allow Stalkers to have the last say in what they want to use. Please be cautious as there are thousands upon thousands of changes and new additions between all modules and your game balance may vary depending on what you choose. Ensure that you read through the categories and use the spoiler drop down menus to see which modules they are in reference to for their descriptions.
