“S.T.A.L.K.E.R.”
is a very tough game to beat, even if you’re playing on lower difficulty levels.
I will do my best to tell you about a lot of important things.
You will also find out about new things and you wouldn’t find them in popular FPP titles.
First of all, you will have to remember that your main character isn’t immortal.
It’s very easy to die during the game, even if you’ve chosen a lower difficulty level.
Additionally, you will witness deadly headshots.
If one of the enemies manages to shoot you in the head, you will probably die right away.
The same goes with melee battles.
Most of the mutants are going to kill you with only one swing.
The same goes with artifacts.
The next important thing is planning your moves.
As for the smaller distances, you must watch out for deadly anomalies and radioactive zones.
Remember to use the binoculars to spot enemy soldiers and different types of monsters.
You will also have an opportunity to attach scopes to some of your weapons.
Also, remember that you won’t have to kill all enemy units for succeed.
Sometimes it’s better to avoid them, especially if you’re wounded.
You should also know that you won’t receive any rewards for winning most of these fights.
If you decide to start a battle, don’t forget about the possibility of taking additional supplies.
Each body (including the monsters) can be searched.
You should also know that you won’t find any bigger guns in the inventory.
You will have to look for them near the bodies.
You would have to open your map to get to find these stashes.
They are going to be small purple points.
I’m sure that you won’t have any problems finding them (#1).
Stashes aren’t the only places where you will be able to find precious or unique objects.
You should also be on a look out for crates, lockers, chests and well hidden rooms.
This will allow you to acquire valuable and/or useful equipment.
It will be displayed in the left side of the screen.
I’d strongly recommend that you NEVER exceed 50 kilogrammes.
It’s much better to go to one of three main traders of the game.
Sadly, this sometimes means that you would have to go back to a previous zone.
Nevertheless, I would recommend that you do this, especially if you plan on buying new objects.
It’s very wise to sell artifacts.
You could also sell guns and armors, however each of these objects weighs at least 10-20kg.
There are also some obvious things and I guess I should remind you about their importance.
Additionally, your new savegames may become corrupted.
As a result, try using at least 8-10 different slots.
The same goes with more difficult fights.
If you pop launch the minimap window, you may find out the exact time of the day.
You will be able to explore maps both during the day and night.
I should also remind you about your PDA.
You were instructed how to use it during the tutorial session.
The PDA offers a very useful minimap.
You will also find a quest diary here, various statistics and an encyclopedia.
