Realism Unlimited (Stalker Unlimited Addon)

An addon for the Stalker Unlimited overhaul and expansion mod, with the primary goal of making combat more realistic.

• []Weapon damage and penetration have been overhauled to accentuate differences between various calibers and to reduce bullet sponges

  []All weapons of the same caliber now have exact same damage and penetration (with the exception of the Obrez shotgun and Rhino revolver which have significantly shorter barrels than their counterparts)

  []The importance of armor protection has been increased - however mutants no longer have armor protection (with the exception of the Deer). This means that AP rounds will be more effective against humans but actually less effective against mutants. Conversely, HP rounds will be more effective against mutants but less effective against humans. FMJ rounds fall somewhere in-between both.

  []Mutant health pools have been overhauled to make them less tanky

  []Mutants now deal more damage overall, and higher tier mutants are lethal unless you have decent armor

  []Radius of Controller psy-field has been increased along with accumulated damage

  There is also an optional version that also alters some consumable effects and restores sleep mechanics:

  • []Food no longer causes sleepiness/fatigue

    []Food items will increase stamina regen instead of healing

    []Skif can once again sleep without the use of sleeping pills!

    []Sleepiness will naturally accumulate as it does in vanilla S2

  • Stashes no longer contain food and drink items, but other items have an increased chance to spawn

    To install, place in the mods folder and make sure it loads after Stalker Unlimited. Only use one of the main version or the optional version, not both.

    Some details about some of the changes:

    Pistols and SMGs (9x18, 9x19, . 45 ACP)

    Weapons in these calibers generally do low damage and have low penetration. Will work well against lightly armored enemies and lower tier mutants (Flesh, Blind Dogs, etc) but will suffer heavily against highly armored enemies and higher tier mutants (Controller, Pseudogiant, etc). 45 ACP has the highest damage, but the lowest AP of the pistol cartridges - it will perform quite well even against mid-tier mutants (Bloodsucker, Snorks, etc).

    Assault Rifles (5. 45x39, 5. 56x45, 9x39)

    Firing an intermediate cartridge, these weapons will do medium damage with medium penetration. Performs well against mid-tier mutants and medium armor humans, but starts to struggle against heavily armored humans and the top-tier mutants - at which point the usage of AP and HP rounds will make all the difference. 9x39 has the highest damage but the lowest penetration of the assault rifle calibers - it performs very well against mutants, especially when using HP rounds.
