Stalker Unlimited Tweaks And Fixes

This is a list of small mods or patches that I made along the way during my Stalker Unlimited playthrough. Everything is bpatched and modularized to ensure maximum compatibility with other mods.

Kazkovyi Camp Fixes

- Banzai will sell & buy guns like other technicians in Stalker Unlimited.

- You can manually save in the building now if you installed Shay's Expedition Rework.

M1A SVD Uses FMJ

In the current version of Unlimited (1. 8. 6), M1A and SVD cannot use FMJ ammo by default, and there is no upgradable option to enable it. This patch allows M1A and SVD to use FMJ ammo by default.

Mutant Rebalanced

During my playthrough, I found that the mutants are too tanky in Stalker Unlimited and a bit too easy to kill with Realism Unlimited. So I decided to rebalance the mutants so that it feels similar to vanilla Unlimited while making them more vulnerable to HP and shotgun rounds. More detailed changes:

- Removed and lowered armor on most mutants.

- Burers and boars are lightly armored.

- Chimera, Pseudogiants, and Snorks have medium armor.

- Deers are heavily armored.

- Burers' HP are significantly reduced since they have psi shields. Now you should be able to kill them with 3-4 cycles of shielding.

- Poltergeists' HP are significantly reduced since they have shields and can be evasive.

More Frequent Side Quests

This makes side quests and mutant part requests become available faster.

- Zalissya: 1 hour

- Slag Heap: 1 hour

- Sutansk: 2 hours

- Sidorovich: 2 hours

- Cement Factory: 2 hours

- Rostok: 1 hour

- Malachite: 2 hours

- Malachite (mutant parts): 6 hours

- Harpy: 2 hours

Better AKs

I felt that Gen2 AK is a bit lacking and not worth buying/using in Stalker Unlimited. Also, AK-74Us are carbines that should have faster equipment speed. Detailed changes as follows:

- Improved the equipment speed of AK-74U.

- Improved the equipment speed of AK-74U Special and SpitFire.

- Improved Gen2 AKS-74N's aiming, equipment speed, and a small boost to the fire rate, so it performs comparably to other modern assault rifles/carbines like the HK416.

More Sidearms

I use SMGs as sidearm in my playthrough. This mod allows all SMGs, Boomstick, and AK-74U to be equipped as sidearms. My mod adds a few more firearms to the list:

- AS Val and its variants. In reality, AS Val is designed to be short and light, and with a foldable stock just like the AK-74U. Note that this does not include VSS, which has a fixed, wooden stock.

- TOZ-34. This one is a personal preference. I always liked the gunplay of double-barreled shotguns in Stalker games. I found Boomstick a bit underwhelming so instead I add TOZ-34, which can still be useful
