  Install

  Place the mod .pak file into S. T. A. L. K. E. R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl\Stalker2\Content\Paks\~mods

  If the  ~mods folder does not exist, create it manually.

  Uninstall

  Simply delete the mod .pak

  The other versions are completely standalone .pak files; the main version is not required for them.

  NWAS:

  This version is more compatible with mods that change NPC loadouts

  Compatibility requires the other mod to follow additive CFG patching practices:

  - It should use {bpatch} when modifying the same NPC Item Generator structures.

  - It should not use {bskipref} on ItemGenerator or another shared parent block.

  - A {bskipref} replacement discards inherited and independently added entries, including this mod’s WeaponSecondary generators.

  - Mods that completely replace DynamicItemGenerator structures may still conflict.

  This improves compatibility, but it cannot guarantee compatibility with every NPC loadout mod.

  Balance warning

  This version intentionally gives NPCs two weapons:

  1. Their normal WeaponPrimary weapon.

  2. An additional modular weapon from WeaponSecondary.

  NPCs can switch between them and appear to prefer the more valuable or otherwise more suitable weapon.

  As a result:

  - NPCs carry more equipment.

  - Their total loot value is higher.

  - Encounters may become easier or harder depending on the generated weapon.

  - The game economy and progression balance are noticeably affected.

  Use the standard edition if you prefer NPCs to receive only one primary weapon. Use the WeaponSecondary edition if compatibility with additive NPC loadout mods is more important than the original balance.
