What are the best Stalker 2 mods? Surviving in The Zone can be quite an ordeal, and the difference between difficulty levels can be a huge leap. Thankfully, with Stalker 2 mods, you can tweak your playthrough exactly to your liking. Whether that’s making things a bit easier on yourself or dialing up the difficulty, that’s up to you.
Stalker 2 is an FPS game that doesn’t shy away from brutality – as you can see from our Stalker 2 review – with even the most minor mistakes often rewarded with a grim death. For some, that’s the balance they want in a survival game, for others, a minor change is needed, and that’s where these Stalker 2 mods come in. Whether they’re for your Stalker 2 weapons, or even a change to how the Stalker 2 artifacts work, here are some of the best options to tweak your next run.
Here are the best Stalker 2 mods:
Grok’s Balanced Difficulties
The Grok’s Balanced Difficulties mod amplifies the lethality of combat while lowering the efficacy of healing items. This is not necessarily a mod that makes things easier, but it does add that extra punch to fights you may be missing.
No Weight
The No Weight mod for ammo, nades, meds, and food reduces the weight of your essential consumables to zero. This means you can stock up for long journeys without worrying about being weighed down by an excessive number of bandages.
No Weapon Durability Loss
The No Weapon Durability Loss mod allows you to use your weapons (and optionally outfits) as long as you like without them degrading at all. You can change this to 50% degradation if you still want that immersive upkeep but don’t want to shell out thousands of coupons every time you’re back in base.
Longer Sprinting
The Longer Sprinting mod tweaks the stamina reduction caused by sprinting in game. With fast travel being a finicky ordeal at times, you’re forced to traverse kilometers on foot; this mod should make those journeys go a bit faster.
Jake’s Longer Days
The Jake’s Longer Days mod gives you the option to slow the passage of time in Stalker 2, resulting in longer days and nights. There are different lengths to choose from, so you can find the perfect balance between light and dark.
Reduced Melee and Jump Stamina Cost
The Reduced Melee and Jump Stamina Cost mod reduces the amount of stamina required to jump and melee. It can be frustrating when you come across an environmental puzzle and must wait between jumps – especially if you’re encumbered – with this mod making traversal a bit smoother.
Those are the best Stalker 2 mods you can download right now, but with our journey into The Zone just beginning, rest assured this list will get a lot longer over the coming years.
