The most stable stalker. Best mods for S

More than 8 years have passed since the release of the last part of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series “Call of Pripyat”. And during this time, an unimaginably large number of all kinds of modifications were made to each of the games in the series, both plot, graphic and sound. Naturally, it is very easy to get confused in such diversity. Therefore, especially for you, we have compiled a list of the 12 best mods for Stalker. Regarding S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 we can say the following: after the release of the first part, GSC disbanded. Five years ago, the company was recreated by founding father Sergei Grigorovich, but the developers’ attention was directed not to the creation of “Stalker 2”, but to the continuation of another cult game - the strategy “Cossacks”. If you are a fan of the Stalker trilogy, then our selection is for you. The article contains the best mods from each part of the game.

The best mods for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. throughout the history of the trilogy

1 Time for Change v2.0 (Clear Sky)

The modification “Time of Changes v2.0” continues the storyline of the first part. During the creation process, many changes were made that improve not only the gameplay and graphics. A new system for presenting both side and story quests was created here. A few words about the main plot of one of the best mods for Stalker. According to the developers, the backbone of the storyline was the restoration of events from the original “Clear Sky”, namely: the descent of the “black digger” into the bunker, the pursuit of “Strelok” on the Generator. After that, they changed the quests associated with the Swamp and Cordon locations. Then they added a second line of main tasks, in which you need to pick up a special artifact from the Strelka cache, without which he will not be able to get to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and here it is - a full-fledged game mod.

2 Clear Sky: MYSTERY 2.0 (Clear Sky)

“MYSTERY v2.0” is an analogue of the famous mod “MISERY v2.0”, with the difference that the platform is now “Clear Sky”. This mod acquired a unique gaming atmosphere, improved graphics, redesigned sounds, changes in game balancing, weather effects, new textures, shaders and much more, which made it so multifaceted and unforgettable. And all this came to life thanks to the use of such modifications as “Photorealistic Zone 2” and “Absolute Nature 3”.

The zone here will appear before you even more gloomy, taking away all the colors from this world and leaving only gray tones. Even more fearless monsters hostile to people will complicate your movements away from stalker sites. There will be no new territories here, everything remains as in the original, there will also be no new types of weapons and equipment, which becomes the ideal foundation for all interested modmakers.

This mod is something radically new or completely unique. But despite this, it's still worth a try!

3 Secret Paths 2 (Shadow of Chernobyl)

The backstories of the original parts of the Stalker series are not very common. “Secret Ways 2” is one of them, and it will tell about what happened before the events of “Shadow of Chernobyl”. A new line of story quests, which is intertwined with the tasks of the original, will reveal the real reason for the main character’s arrival in the Zone. After this, you will not have any questions about Strelok and his past.

The narration here is told on behalf of a mercenary nicknamed “The Beast”, known from previous parts, about his attempts to survive in a mystical place, which the inhabitants of the Zone call a “spatial anomaly”, within which the laws of physics do not apply. Ammunition, medical kits, water, food and even bolts - all this is worth its weight in gold. But, of course, this will not be able to stop the legendary mercenary, and, in the end, you will get out of this damned place.

5 Golden Ball 0.6.6 (Shadow of Chernobyl)

The alternative name of the mod, “Golden Ball: Completion,” hints to us that this is the latest update, and therefore the most developed. The creators presented us from beginning to end with the story of the “adventures” of a stalker nicknamed “Zhekan”, who went to the Zone to find a legendary, previously undiscovered artifact - the “Wish Granter”. Unchanged locations from Shadows of Chernobyl will be intertwined with a unique line of story missions, adding even more of the mystical atmosphere that will reign around the main character. Unique quests, logically designed quest lines, new NPCs and innovations - all this will allow you to look at the familiar game from a different angle, and the redesigned gameplay will make it easier to find in the Zone.

Coupled with dramatic plot changes, the mod received several new features in the form of game systems that allow you to diversify the gameplay as much as possible and make you more captivated by the passage.

6 Oblivion Lost Remake 2.5 (Shadow of Chernobyl)

“Oblivion Lost Remake v2.5” is a new version of the much-loved mod for Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, in which the creators restored the storyline from the design documents of 2003-2004, which is extremely rare, which gives players a look at Stalker, who was still in paper option. There were also a large number of bug fixes and shortcomings from previous versions of the modification, which smoothes out the gameplay.

7 Valley of Shorokhov (Call of Pripyat)

“Valley of Whispers” is a modification that offers you a completely new line of quests that has no overlap with the plot of the original. The main character of this story is a stalker nicknamed “Max”, who, like most of those who arrived in the Zone, wants to get money. The goal of his search is a mysterious and incredibly expensive artifact - the Heart of the Oasis. The plot will take place in a new unique location. Plus, the player will find something to do besides searching for an artifact: take part in shootouts, explore a new location and its corners, where no human has yet set foot.

8 Wind of Time v1.3 (Call of Pripyat)

The version of the story mod “Wind of Changes v1.3” (“Wind of Changes v1.3”) is the final version, which means the most optimized and developed. The new update brought a lot of changes to the storyline, gameplay, graphic corrections, and innovations. The main one is the appearance of new tasks, both main and side, and all of them successfully complement the main storyline and allow the player to enter the territory of the “Dead City”. A new system for generating monsters in the Zone with its subsequent balancing, reworking the general atmosphere of the game, new anomalous effects such as psi storms and radiation emissions - and even this is not all new items. The wishes of the gaming community regarding previous versions of the modification did not go unnoticed.

An additional “gift” for gamers with weak PCs was the adaptation of all textures and shaders, game effects, NPC models and monsters. This function is purely optional, that is, if your computer is powerful enough, you can simply skip this item. The innovation is especially relevant for PCs with 3 GB of RAM or less.

9 SGM 2.0: Geonezis Addon (Call of Pripyat)

The "Geonezis Addon" for SGM 2.0 gives the mod new life. A new line of story quests, more than 50 additional tasks, non-player characters, both new and already known to you from the parts “Shadow of Chernobyl” and “Clear Sky”, even a couple of heroes from the book series S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - all this makes the mod one of the best in the trilogy.

Thanks to the “Geonezis” mod, you will learn the stories of characters already familiar from the original games, their significance in the SCG Games universe, as well as their future fate. Who really was Myron? Where did Flint run after the exposure? Why did Morgan from the Debt group indulge the bandits and sell them weapons? You will learn all this and much more by completing the mod to the end.

10 Call of Chernobyl

In fact, “Call of Chernobyl” is not just another mod, but a full-fledged game that combines missions from the entire game trilogy. The modification platform is the Call of Pripyat engine. The completely non-linear passage is complemented by new modes: historical and survival (survival). One of the key features is the choice of the main character to belong to the group and the place of respawn (appearance) in the game location. The modification can be praised for a long time, but it is better to see everything with your own eyes.

11 Path in the Darkness (Call of Pripyat)

The plot modification “Spectrum Project: The Way in Haze”, which many gamers are familiar with first-hand, and even more people have heard about the previous project “Spectrum Project”. Its development was resumed and in our time has acquired the outlines of an independent game. The key feature of the mod is a plot written from scratch with several ending options, which will not be easy to reach. To complete the mod you need to complete a considerable number of quests. Another important feature of the project is the addition of new territories created from scratch - this is the unique “Dead City”, the “X5” laboratory and the “Bunker” laboratory complex.

12 Lost World Requital (Shadow of Chernobyl)

Greetings, stalker. Today I will tell you about the best modifications created by fans of the legendary trilogy. Sit down, relax and experience new adventures throughout the zone.

We will talk about additional content for the Call of Pripyat platform. The original game became one of the best in the series. But, unfortunately, years pass, and the gaming community has not seen a continuation. Therefore, fans took the development of add-ons into their own hands. They were able to make modifications that radically change the game, both in story and gameplay terms.

You will find dozens of different mods on the Internet. But in order not to make a mistake with the choice, I made today’s review of mods for Call of Pripyat from a selection of the most current additions to date.

The selection is based on personal opinions and reviews from players. If you think that some modification is missing here, share your opinion in the comments. And we are starting a review of mods for Stalker Call of Pripyat.

Top 5 best modifications

Call of Pripyat is the largest platform in terms of the number of mods made for it. Hundreds of different products were made for this game that are not worth mentioning. And only a few can be called truly worthwhile projects.

But before we move on to the review of the best mods for Stalker Call of Pripyat, I want to tell you about 4 mods that You should never install on your PC:

• Reach Mod. I, of course, doubt that you will be able to play this project even if you want to. The game closes every couple of minutes. I tried installing this mod because the description intrigued me. The idea seems good, but the implementation is worse. Don't even try to install this mod.
• Witcher. Redesigned locations, character models, voice acting and other features. It seems that everything is not so bad, but Stalker is not a game where the floor of a broken ship should be covered with laminate, and bright green grass should grow throughout the locations. In general, the mod simply completely kills the entire atmosphere of the game, turning the Danger Zone into a rainbow-colored Far Cry.
• War correspondent. The story of a journalist who ended up in the ATO zone in Ukraine. I have never seen a dumber story and performance. Terrible detail, lags and crashes, a disgusting plot - this is the basis for the game.
• Rainbow Zone. The level of drug addiction is simply off the charts. In the game you will find changed locations and green grass. Yes, yes, instead of regular vegetation, hemp grows in all locations. It feels like the project was created by a person who was under the influence of LSD, coke and other hard drugs. If you want to go a little crazy, you can install this mod and see for yourself how sick of a fantasy the person who created this has.

If you come across at least one of these mods on the Internet, don’t even think about installing them, you’ll just ruin the game.

Well, we’ve dealt with the bad stuff, let’s return to the review of the best mods for Stalker Call of Pripyat.

Contract for a good life

Let's start our review of mods for Stalker Call of Pripyat with the “Contract for a Good Life” modification, which is especially popular among gamers.

At the center of events is the mercenary Khmury, who received a good order, codenamed “Contract for a good life.” The main character is sent to the center of the zone along with a detachment of 10 similar mercenaries. How events will unfold, what kind of order this is, who is the target and why Gloomy agreed to this, you will find out after completing this add-on.

The main advantage of the mod is the plot part. But besides this, the author has redesigned more than 10 locations, voice acting and environment design.

“Contract for a good life” is one of the best mods for Stalker Call of Pripyat. If you want to go through an interesting story in the Stalker style. Be sure to try this mod.

Spatial anomaly

An interesting story addition to the main game. Has everyone heard about the spatial anomaly? Yes, yes, this is exactly the place where people disappear without a trace. The history of the mod will tell us about the fate of a mercenary named Beast. He finds himself in a spatial anomaly and moves to an unknown place. Fortunately, we are not alone in this territory. Now our task is to find a way to escape from the anomaly and return to our home Zone.

In addition to the story addition, the game's weapon and character models have been changed. Also added are several endings and professional Russian voice acting.

The history of this mod will be remembered for a long time. I highly recommend playing it. You won't find hardcore here, but an interesting and exciting plot is guaranteed.

Misery

In my review of mods for Stalker, I would like to especially highlight this project. Most gamers consider it the only worthwhile improvement to the base game. And although the storyline remains untouched, all other aspects of the game change radically.

This modification completely changes the familiar stalker to a more updated, tougher and more interesting game. The only thing that hasn't changed is the plot.

As for the gameplay, artificial intelligence, graphics and sound, the game is simply unrecognizable. Let's start in order.

I’ll say right away that if you like to lightly run around the Zone, collect artifacts and finish the game in a couple of hours, then this mod is not for you. Misery is for true hardcore fans. With this addition, completing the regular storyline can take you several weeks, because you will have to die repeatedly before you can clear out the bloodsuckers' lair or kill a few snorks. The game is built closer to realism and makes it possible to really sweat while passing.

First, you are asked to choose one of three classes: attack aircraft, scout, sniper. Your choice will determine your starting equipment and perks for further upgrades.

Artificial intelligence has also undergone changes. Enemies are much better at using cover and coordinating their actions. Now you can't just kill a squad of mercenaries. In order to complete such a task, you will have to work hard and think about how to do it better.

The graphic part has been completely redesigned. All models of weapons, characters and mutants have been improved and replaced. The interface has been completely redesigned. The entire Zone looks more alive and dark, and the incredible soundtrack helps create an atmosphere for complete immersion in the game.

Misery is a mod for hardcore fans.

Wind of time

Tired of hackneyed plots that involve searching for objects and fighting factions? “The Wind of Time” has a unique concept for how events unfold.

The story begins in 2048, when a professor creates a time machine and decides to send a military specialist, that is, us, to 2014. It was at this time that an outburst occurred in the Zone, after which it began to rapidly expand, capturing more and more territory. Our task is to find out the cause of this anomaly and eliminate it.

The plot will keep you in suspense throughout the entire passage. All actions will take place in 18 locations, many of which are already familiar to players from the original parts of the series. But at the same time they have undergone significant changes. The game now has a thirst indicator and added content from Shadow of Chernobyl.

In addition to the story and gameplay components, the graphics were updated using Atmosfear 3 and Absolute Nature 4 mods.

In general, the addition turned out to be quite successful and rightfully takes a leading place in the review of the best mods for Stalker Call of Pripyat.

Path in the darkness

One of the best plot modifications for Call of Pripyat. We have to play as a stalker named Shroud.

The plot revolves around the mysterious Specter project. The main character learns information about the research group in the center of the zone. We don't know who they are or what their goals are, but we do know that their work can have disastrous consequences. We have to unravel all the details and find out what kind of secrets the Zone keeps.

The mod was released in 2015 and includes a global reworking of existing locations, and also adds a number of new territories in which you will have to investigate the mystery of the Zone for many hours. In addition to the environments, character models and motion animations have been redesigned.

Do you love the original Stalker trilogy? Then “The Path in the Darkness” will definitely suit your taste.

Do you think I missed a good mod? Write your favorite additions to the original game in the comments. And I’m finishing my review of mods for the game Call of Pripyat. I hope you enjoyed this collection. If yes, subscribe to the blog and share information on social networks. See you soon, dear readers.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat is the last part of the famous game released by the developers. Creating modules for games was not new at the time this part was released. Previously, other similar games were modified by folk craftsmen. But this platform is quite beautiful and diverse, which attracts many craftsmen to create modifications. We have collected ten in our rating best mods for the game Stalker: Call of Pripyat.

10. Messenger

The rating of the best mods for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat opens with the reworked “Svyaznoy” storyline. The main role of the complex plot modification is a mercenary named Mason. His task is to infiltrate the group of diggers located at the landfill as quickly as possible and without killing. After infiltration, the mercenary must reveal all the plans of the group.

A new character, nicknamed Gloomy, appears in the notorious Zone. Finding himself outside the perimeter for the first time, along with the rest of the newcomers, he decides to participate in the ongoing special operation. During a landing mission, which included the main character, the group ends up in an unplanned place. Many questions immediately arise that Khmury will have to resolve: what kind of operation he was prescribed for; what was going on in the closed Zone into which he found himself; why certain forces are preventing his group from completing the task. Among the innovations of the mod, the following can be highlighted: the mutants are made stronger, which makes the gameplay more unpredictable; The change in graphics of the weapons used and their ammunition is quite noticeable; there is a stealth mode; The animation is professional, but the voice acting sometimes lags behind the characters' movements.

In November 2016, Another Zone Mod was released and took top positions in the list of the best mods for the game Stalker. The main character of this modification, Artem, has a crippled sister after an accident. She lost her hearing and vision. According to unverified data, there is a mysterious artifact in the Zone that has the ability to heal the sick. So Artem, getting together with his friend, went in search of a wonderful cure.
