If you manage to fish out 2 thunderberrys and add something else that increases your endurance like Crest, you can actually knife infinitely... just not while moving. You have to stay a stationary target, because moving stamina regens slower. I just literally knife fought a Bloodsucker and it was amazing, some dogs tried to get in there but me and my new friend killed them, then resumed our knife fight in a shelter because an emission was going to strike.
Weird water altered artifact found in Zaton gives you 40kg carry weight. Also, if you sell to wandering traders, kill them after to pick back up your loot.
@@ALiberalVeteranits just the random groups of friendly npcs you find while walking around you can trade a little with the leader they arent special or anything
@@austinchasteeny I replied on another video how to get the weird water in a pretty solid method. If that's what you are talking about. Basically, get to the anomaly before 22 pm, make a quick save at 21:58. Once the lights pop, look around for about 30 secs, if you can't find it, reload and keep doing that until you get it. It might not spawn directly under a light but it will have a glow. Several people confirmed it's the best way to get it. Should only take a few reloads
I started watching this thinking this was gonna be a weird click bait. How was i supposed to know one trader buys red gear?? I love you kind internet stranger
Also, when your standing on a high spot shooting at the bloodsuckers, if you tease them by standing right at the edge where they can swat you, it can lure them over for easier shots.
9:40 WARNING, even when you crouch to avoid damage from the glass shards, for some reason all your equipment still loses durability (including your weapons that are stowed, which is kinda crazy), if you have to crouch through the shards, unequip your 2 weapons and your armor to not take any durability damage. (In general taking damage from any anomaly damages all your equipment btw).
@@celeroon89 You're just not paying attention. I just tested this while crouching in a shattered glass anomaly and moving around. My 100% durability Convoy armor dropped to 95% in just a few steps.
For players new to the STALKER series, these are all solid tips/hints. For people who are hardcore fans of the earlier games, then aside from the new things specific to STALKER 2, most of these tips are things we learnt in the earlier games, our old knowledge still holds true in many cases.

I unequip my gear near anomalies because your gear doesnt get damaged in your inventory. I also noticed anomalies shred armor, especially the fire and acid ones. I just wish there was a quicker way to do it.
0:23 Idk if I’m stupid but I discovered removing the artifacts trick first before I discovered I could just throw bolts at them since I was too lazy to remove the artifacts lol
The Buket is my favourite gun so far because its good at range because of its single shot, range and accuracy, and its good at CQB because it has full auto and high damage for its size especially if you use AP rounds. Not to mention the ammo for it is literally everywhere.
Nice. :) The Buket-S2 and the PKM/Skif's Pistol use the same ammo and also the same silencer - the silencer is common and the ammo is the lightest & cheapest in the game. You can cheaply upgrade both and keep them repaired vs other guns. It also is comparable with most assault rifles - esp. if you get the extended mag (takes the magazine to 30). It then is comparable to the AS Lavina without requiring the much heavier & more expensive ammo that weapon uses.
I didn’t even know that they follow you but I haven’t been using any artifacts so I can see how that correlation could be made if they do start following you
Just another Tip, the speed of your stamina regen is _HEAVILY_ effected by both your movement and stance. If you fully drain stamina by sprinting and then just keep running normally, it'll take quite some time to refill. If you just stop and stand still, it'll cut that time just about in half. If you stop _and crouch_ it will cut the time by more than half from just standing. Ending up in only taking 2 or 3 seconds to fully recharge rather than somewhere between 30-40s. Similarly, although i don't have exact numbers for this one; Your encumberence "level" also has a pretty significant impact on how fast your stamina regenerates. When you have no "weight symbol" call that 100% regen, when it's a dark gray (slightly encumbered) you seem to lose roughly ~25% regen speed, when it hits solid white (encumbered) symbol you lose another ~25%, and finally when you pick up so much that your character can no longer even jog, you're forced to a walking pace (no symbol change) you lose a final ~25% regen speed for a total of something like -70% to -85% stamina regen speed. Keep all this stuff in mind whenever you're overloaded trying to make it home with the loot. Cheers
Fully upgraded Skiff's pistol, with extended mag and silencer + armor piercing rounds coupled with a fully upgraded Buket S-2 with silencer and extended mag = god tier combo(literally end game weapons). Uses the same ammo, extremly cheap to repair/max out/ammo, crazy penetration, good range, decent damage output. This 2 together is so OP, go try it out. Also, very very easy to get them early in the game. You straight away have the Skiff's pistol, and you can get Buket S-2 in Cordon next to the railway bridge. There is that tall building, go all the way up to the top and you will find it there next to the stash. Have fun.
Ammo other than regular eats up more durability. Its better to use a weapon like the kharod with has insane range and penetration, and either use a underbarrel shotgun or get a rhino and put the shotgun upgrade on it.
@@sulyokpeter3941 I mean despite the stats of weapons, it doesnt really matter cept penetration. Anything can perform really well as long as you hit headshots. I also recommend trying the EMR 1.
quick psa: DON'T SELL THE SHOCK COLLARS YOU CAN LOOT OFF CERTAIN MUTANTS. These can be turned in to an npc during a story mission. This mission's bugged as shit and will probably softlock your entire save if you don't give them the collars immediately.
PRO TIP: If for some reason an NPC for a side quest in invisible and you cannot interact with them, save your game right there and load that save file. They will appear. Hopefully this saves someone from having to go WAY back to a previous save. Good luck out there, Stalkers
So I’m doing the hardest difficulty , where resources are meant to be more scarce etc yet every time I leave with 10 meds 12 bandages I’ll end up returning with about 30 meds and 40-60 bandages but it’s weird as I don’t feel like I pick up that many meds … same for food ammo etc I’m like 36 hours played and now doing runs pretty much fully empty inventory besides ammo and 5 medkits, even for main missions you can get away with it… on the other hand I’ve had the worst luck for artefacts you could imagine
Nizar, love your videos since Elden ring and love these stalker videos but question, do you actually really enjoy stalker 2? I love it I’m super immersed almost like I was with Elden ring
So if you have looted the artifact at a certain spot and then you want to go back after an emission you have to be 150 m away to do the reload trick. Because once you get near the emission it locks a preset artifact to that location. But as long as you haven't gotten near the anomaly then it will not have set a preset artifact there. I saw this in another video and can confirm as long as you are 150 m away you can get pretty much any artifact you want from that spot after an emission
I love the game but I can’t play until these infinite enemy spawning behind me nonstop and I mean truly every moment..gets fixed it feels broken it’s ridiculous
When it comes to mutants that can't climb, I just saw this in a play through by Anomalous digout, here's the clip of a mutant getting on top of a rock, maybe this place is an exception, don't know ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkxVuNuVW9xiEYoDQ_cFJaRSQCCYZQcl1mP?si=JKS0qcciS7__P4RI
Not true about selling items... For example: a quest about dealing with mafia bosses needed me to bring 1 personal pda as proof. Luckily I have killed 1 boss before taking the quest and took his pda. But because I have sold it afterwards I had to go and deal with another boss to get his pda as proof :) soooo.. not completely true statement :)
Someone finally understood how stealth in stalker 2 works! It was so painfull to see players not understand the feature and hear them complain about how broken stealth was when in reality it works just fine but not as in other games...
I would actually love to see Bloodsuckers be able to climb boxes and climb ladders. I am not into being scared, but seeing them get puzzled because you are on the fence, and they can lounge at you but don't is always a strange experience to me. I download Grok's debuff of Bloodsuckers and it allows me to end 1 with a full mag of AK74U easily, which is closer to first Stalker series. I feel like running 6 mags into them is highly unrealistic and I would always run out of ammo. Then without spoiling much (don't read further, if you don't want to me spoiled...don't read it, I said...don't) when you are looking for a commander and you are forced to jump into the basement you will be greeted by 3 bloodsuckers and if it wasn't for that debuff mod, I would be gone, it's not even realistic to try to survive there with a regular AK gun, it's just now as they rush you together. A nice way to softlock yourself into a game failure if you didn't save a lot prior

You need to charge the weird blue flower artifact by sleeping with it equipped. It’s color will change(brighten) to indicate that it’s active.
And after its only active for 2 minutes until its dark again 😂
As a new player to stalker this probably the best tips video I’ve watched yet good stuff man
Fun fact, you cannot get disarmed by a Burer if you're holding Skif's pistol.
Grenades also, easy way to kill Burer around the corner.

Watched a bunch of “tips and tricks videos” on this game. Maaaaan, yours is the best. Subbed.
I unequip my gear near anomalies because your gear doesnt get damaged in your inventory. I also noticed anomalies shred armor, especially the fire and acid ones. I just wish there was a quicker way to do it.
That sounds like an awful amount of work, I won't be doing it cause it sounds a nightmare on controller
oh man not a click bait, first tips with these annoying sparky things is a relief ;p thanks
never saw the trade icon on npc in the wild... thanx again
All this time I've been trying to figure out how to delete them. Yeah, that was the best tip for me.
lets goooo so hyped to see u playing/making content on stalker 2
Carrying the body with your loot us absolutely genius.
0:23 Idk if I’m stupid but I discovered removing the artifacts trick first before I discovered I could just throw bolts at them since I was too lazy to remove the artifacts lol
Throwing bolts at this anomaly does nothing...
Top tip: ALWAYS have a shotgun on you, the saiga is op asf
Ram better tbh
Solid tips for new STALKERS, old reminders for us Veterans. Subbed.
I don’t even play this game , I just like your videos dawg
THANK YOU! ❤ u’re one of few who REALLY provides tips! Veru useful! Most of vids on Stalker out there is obvious BS…😢
awesome video man....thank God for that floating electric spark tip!! i had no idea how to deal with that
ty i bn breakin boxes with my weapon, now i even put it away when not using it
I tried throwing bolts to distract enemies. They always come to my location, rather than where the bolt went.
The Buket is my favourite gun so far because its good at range because of its single shot, range and accuracy, and its good at CQB because it has full auto and high damage for its size especially if you use AP rounds.
Not to mention the ammo for it is literally everywhere.
“ stealth “ lol I hope the enemy’s vision gets fixed soon.
Every time I jump on something the mutants hide behind things.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this!
Ah, i see a REAL fellow stalker out here in the zone ... Subbed , good to see you out here m8.
Nice. :)

How did you figure out the homing electro trick? I swear nothing explains that they're attracted to artifacts.

If you fully drain stamina by sprinting and then just keep running normally, it'll take quite some time to refill.
If you just stop and stand still, it'll cut that time just about in half.

The crouch tip is huge. I should’ve known the Slavic Squat would be the ideal resting position in The Zone

Nice tips didn’t know most of those really helpful video props
6:40…… I actually dropped my jaw. Why didnt I think of that
You don't have to crouch to not take damage to the glass cloud. Just press the walkbutton and walk through it, no damage
Run water instead of energy drinks so you don’t get hungry. Carry 4-6 water with you on each trip.

Do you know if the artifact reroll is only the first time you loot a location or is it anytime, ie after emission respawns them?
So if you have looted the artifact at a certain spot and then you want to go back after an emission you have to be 150 m away to do the reload trick.

Wierd bolt needs to be charge so you can jump again. That only took me 9 hours to figure out. It glows red when charge.
You need to sleep every so often to keep your arccuracy up.
Hunger attracts mutants.
