The player points his pistol at a mutant dog that is biting their leg.

It’s not the only mod that has cropped up. It’s only been a few days since the game’s release but already we have a mod that willreduce the painfully high repair costsof your guns and armour, another that lets yousprint for longerwithout getting tired, and even one that introducesslow motion “bullet time"to the game.

A Bloodsucker attacks in a dark cave in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.

One thing I do like, though, is this mod thatreduces the stamina cost of jumping and knife attacks. Because, god, the platforming puzzles are already shonky enough without having to take a breath between every leap.
