Today’s patch notes indicate a substantial size, a fact that isn’t new as this is not the first one surpassing the 100GB mark. This underscores the game’s initial condition, but more importantly, it showcases the dedication of the developers to deliver STALKER 2 in its complete glory.
Despite having some areas that needed improvement, particularly in its artificial life feature (A-Life), STALKER 2 was generally stable before update 1.2 was released. The game wasn’t teetering on the brink of collapse after reaching about halfway through its narrative, and there was a faint hint of A-Life present in the NPC groups. GSC Game World might have opted to release one or two small updates for the project before focusing mainly on DLC development and wrapping up the game’s development.
The latest update for Stalker 2, version 1.2, is immense in size. GSC Game World has included fixes aimed at enhancing AI, gameplay, and certain areas within the game’s world in this patch. Additionally, it addresses numerous persistent issues that players have been encountering in its narrative and side quests. In summary, Stalker 2 should experience significant improvements as a result of today’s update. If you’ve been hesitant about diving into the game, now could be an ideal moment to do so.
As an enthusiastic player, I’m excited to share that we’re making some improvements to the game’s equilibrium, quests, stability, performance, and other areas. The updates are substantial, so be sure to check out the official patch notes detailed below for all the specifics.
Compared to the updates from December, this one has fewer adjustments and enhancements – around 1800 changes were made in that update.
Players can discover The Glutton’s distinctive Light Machine Gun hidden within the exit point of the Underpass POI, which lies in the Rostok district of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Its location is situated to the west of the Rostok base. This large tunnel is marked by an entrance filled with discarded vehicles and a sealed door hidden further inside. To acquire the unique LMG and other valuable items within, you’ll need to find a method to open the locked Underpass Exit door first.
