STALKER 2: How to repair and maintain equipment

Umito November 21, 2024

If you’re diving into the Zone, you need to know a few basics.

A Stalker is only as good as his equipment, and to survive in the harsh, irradiated world of STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobylyou will need everything in the best possible condition. It’s not always easy when you’re attacked by mutants, shot down by other survivors, or simply picked up and tossed around by strange Anomalies.

If you don’t repair your equipment, you can expect to face significant problems. Your armor won’t protect you as much, your weapons won’t deal damage, and your weapons in particular will become prone to jamming – you really don’t want this to happen in the middle of a fierce firefight or when facing a charge. mutant – which ultimately renders them almost useless.

I had a far I’ll have a better time in the game once I understand the nuances of keeping my gear in good condition, so I’m here to help. Here’s how to repair and maintain your gear in STALKER 2.

Luckily, keeping your gear in tip-top shape is actually quite simple once you know exactly what to do.

In order to repair your equipment, you need to find a settlement and then locate a technician. For the beginning of the game, when you’re first starting out, this means you’ll want to head towards Zalissia (which can be seen on the map above) and talk to Lens.

Once you’ve found your technology, check which parts of your kit need the most attention. The durability of an item can be checked by opening your inventory and then selecting the weapon or armor in question. Look at the bar at the bottom of the element. If it is Green and with 100% (or close to) durability, there’s nothing to worry about. If it is YELLOW and about 70% durability, it took some wear and tear and you should repair it soon, but it can still be used. If it is redits durability could be less than 40%, which means it needs immediate attention.

To repair an item, talk to the technician and simply open the upgrade panel. From there you can pay tickets to repair the item. The more valuable the item and the more its durability is lost, the more you will have to pay. Repairing some damage to a basic pistol would only require a few hundred tickets, but repairing heavily damaged armor could take several thousand. Save big money when you’re on the go because you don’t want to get stuck and unable to pay for repairs.

If you only have enough money for a few repairs, think carefully and evaluate your options. Is there a gun you don’t use frequently that’s broken? Depending on what type of weapon it is (like a basic pistol), you might be better off just dropping it and grabbing another one from a dead survivor while you explore the area.

STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is currently available on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC (via Steam, the Xbox app, and the Epic Games Store). It is also available in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
