Idea

The main goal of this mod is to 'fix' parts of the game that feel unbalanced, rushed, or incomplete. While STALKER 2 had a solid foundation from day one, it’s clear to many players, including myself, that the game needed more time to deliver a complete and polished experience. Broken economy, unbalanced difficulty, inadequate ballistic and damage model, cut or semi-implemented mechanics, this mod has a long list of changes that try to address all of the issues in vanilla game. However, it adds little new content and doesn’t seek to drastically change the game. Think of this mod as 'Vanilla 2. 0', the version of STALKER 2 you probably expected to see at launch.

NEW GAME START IS REQUIRED TO REDISTRIBUTE LOOT AND TO FIX THE ECONOMY

If you like this mod, you can support it here:

Economy

Every aspect of the game that affects economy was touched to achieve engaging and rewarding game loop. Focus shifted from hauling and selling yellow durability guns to actually doing something to earn money: doing quests, hunting artifacts, exploring the map in search for stashes, killing mutants. Mutants drop loot, artifacts are very expensive, especially if you turn them in via quests. Most side quest rewards are at least doubled. Mutant Loot mod is included here with custom changes.

[]Stashes are overhauled completely, it's not just "less loot to make economy more difficult". There is a new, complex system behind stashes now.

[]Of course quantity of loot was adjusted because it was ridiculous before, ammo and consumables are less abundant. At the same time new rare and exciting loot was added to the pool.

[]Stash rarity is not predefined anymore. You might find a big surprise in a random backpack at the side of the road. A rare stash that was overflowing with medkits and useless food during your previous play-through might be almost empty this time. Each stash has a certain chance to be full of rare loot, but no stash is guaranteed to shower you with items.

[]Amount of stash clues you find when looting bodies was reduced to encourage more natural exploration. Chance to get clues is higher in end-game
