Kharod has access to silencers, all rifle optics, a suppressor, an under-barrel grenade launcher, and my favorite, the Holemaker-L under-barrel shotgun. Both range and the penetration are great, with zero recoil. Maybe Dnipro does slightly more dmg, but again Kharod has faster Rate of Fire. Dnipro is ok, but far from better.
At the end of the shotgun run, go just a smidge north into the production complex and there's a SEVA-I suit, which is way better than any of the other suits until far into the main story or you box up to the Diamond in Yaniv
There is another way to get it early, easier and safer, but takes little more time. Last boss in Rostock arena drops red durability kharod. Just drop it on the floor before leaving the room, and pick it up after stepping out of the door
Except you have to progress through the Sircca facility to actually do the 4/5 arena fights. People say it’s “bugged” but as soon as you get out of Sircca the first time it pops up as available for arena fight #4
I was able to get the Dnipro, Kharod, Rhino, and decent armor from the Rostock arena. You are given these items in the area, and normally, you would not be able to leave with them, but you can. I got the Dnipro from the Chimera fight. The Kharod and Rhino from the last opponent. You get the Rhino only if you let the boss pick your weapon and the boss drops the Kharod. High-level armor from both. There are two points when the game will attempt to scrub your inventory, which can be easily dodged by dropping them on the floor. The first is the door leaving the arena. The second is the next immediate door before the safe with your gear. Walk up to the first, drop your inventory on the floor, walkthrough, and then pick them back up on the other side. Repeat the process on the next door. You're in the clear once you're at the safe with your own gear.
great tip! I think though with this video technically you would still get the kharod sooner than doing arena seeing as how to get round 4 to unlock you have to complete main mission 23?
That swamp rat is a Tushkano. I can't remember if there were weapon and armor repair kits in vanilla SOC, COP and CS, but I vividly remember Rusak gun oil, dvojka and Brunox spray. I guess there are none in STALKER 2.
exelent video the explanation is great covered all the points even whats the how and why we get the code and over all im gradefull that he showed us were to get the mods specially the acog im been looking for it for a long time
Im rocking the vector (intergral) in 9mm, kicks ass and its cheap. If you have the deluxe/ultimate, you get a slightly higher damage version of it modded (Riemann). It also has high penetration. Currently snipers are pointless in this game, so a close to mid range are the best, until they fix the AI spawn issues. Mods also should not affect your save, unless their big changes. Things like weapon tweaks, longer days, carry weight, there simply configuration file changes, shouldn't affect much. I have done a fair bit of modding with Expeditions - mud runner, Tarkov, skyrim, I have never broken a save file. With Tarkov you can when you do drastic changes like, new assets or a complete mechanic change, then there is potential. Things like modifying bag weight/stats, ammo stats, longer days, increase or decrease fuel usage, adjust higher levels, modify your money. As these are changeable normally even without modding, due to other connected attributes or modifiers. There are some other no no's, you know as your doing them, you learn to know what will and won't break, 90% of the time your good.
Thank you for the detailed insight. It gives me confidence not to worry. Ill have a video on the vector sometime it looks like madness and a ton of fun.
Maybe my English isn't good enough, but how did I come up with the idea of looking for the numbers on the license plates of the trucks in the right order, then going to a completely different place and knowing that that's the code for this specific door?
Pls, could you tell me a location where to find that damn Seva suits,with enhanced PSI resistance,you need for that" Astra swamp Chimera emission"thing Main quest Line? I would be so thankful 🙏🙏🙏😊
Nice! Sadly, I went to Rostok early on, but the game crashes whenever I go there. Once it locks up (with music still playing), if I don't stop it with Steam, it eventually causes a BSOD - some sort of endless loop that's allocating virtual memory resources, which eventually run out. Unsettling. Following the main story has been mostly stable, although coming back to Zalissya, after taking out the Monolith guys, no one is acting right. Hope they fix these things.
Anyone know where the suppressor for the Kharod? I’m going insane looking for something. Can I remove the suppressor from the SOFMOD? Might pick that up
DNIPRO gets my vote for best assault rifle, but the hot take is that assault rifles are a waste of ammo, just get a Mark I EMR and mod it for full auto. It hits hard enough to kill humans in one shot and full auto is there for the surprise encounters. It has better damage/range/accuracy than any assault rifle. The only challenge is getting a steady supply of .308 ammo. It would be nice if it could use more sites but mods will fix that soon.
Variety in Optics is really lacking for this game specially after playing most modern shooters that allow customization. Every Call of Duty arrives with dozens of optics, same for Tarkov, yet Stalker 2 limits you to 1 optic being compatible for each weapon. Kind of a bummer how you get to stick to an AK if you want long range most of the game since the PSO is the highest magnification optic you get for most of the playthrough, either that or you "downgrade" to the 2X optic or even Holo/Reflex sights.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ Its there - I found the way down, just creep off the fence to the left of the bus onto the top ledge of the door below, minimal fall damage, like 5% maybe
Can someone tell me which base/technician can upgrade the dnipro I got it early from the cooling tower but I’m still mid game so I can’t upgrade it at any of the technicians I currently know about
I play on Xbox and no where near this far yet but as far as I am some of the side missions n what not spawn some insanely tough enemies and how is every one getting so much stamina even with a almost empty back pack my stamina is garbage
The irony is I got the VS Vintar as random drop by some guy in Garbage. Considering it does 2.1 damage thats twice over what most assault rifles do, its a good deal. 9x39mm is difficult to come by though early on. Buket S-2 also another good carry gun just from the fact that, you only need 1 - 2 headshots to take down any human in this game, 9x18mm is literally the cheapest ammo you can get and found almost everywhere. Only downsides are the lack of scopes on the Buket, VS Vintar has 4x and 8x but no 2x, which makes it difficult to use close range with the laser pointer only. Also silencers increases weapons range in this game for some silly reasons, again gives the SMG's similar range to assault rifles, which is just ridicules.
I said this on another channel, I'll say it again here. You guys are doing it horribly wrong if you can't afford 20K repairs. By simply collecting all repeatable artifacts and the few that aren't in the Lesser zone, as well as selling the guns from the bandits and ward attacking me, I left the Lesser Zone with over 200K in my pocket. That is the early game. With that I went to Yaniv, collecting every artifact I could along the Northern route through the Red Forst. By the time I arrived I bought a Kharod, Ram 2 and the PSZ-12V Bulat suit _before_ I'd even reached Garbage to do the missions there. If you put the work in you make money incredibly easy in this game. Stop being lazy.
GP37 is best. It loses on penetration compared to the Kharod, but GP37 has better magazines (paired or 90 drum, while Kharod has only extended 40 rounder), one of the best range stats, it is way cheaper to upgrade and repair, uses the same ammo and attachments, is available way sooner, and to me it looks better (Kharod looks like a short fat person, vs GP37 which looks like tall and wide person, that is purely subjective tho) basically, GP37 is way better at sniping and produces way less "oh shit" moments due to the superior magazines, but since they are the same caliber, I'm expecting that GP37 will be just better once caliber-based balancing mods like the ones in GAMMA will come, since GP37 has significantly longer barrel which in real life affects most of the stats positively
to use underbarrel attachments, hold the fire select button if you dont want to use the radial menu
Thanks for the info!
@@annoyingboi awesome! thanks for this tip
Thank you for this tip made my day
If you're on pc and rebound the controls, the under barrel key is "B".
Took me ages to find that out!
Kharod has access to silencers, all rifle optics, a suppressor, an under-barrel grenade launcher, and my favorite, the Holemaker-L under-barrel shotgun. Both range and the penetration are great, with zero recoil. Maybe Dnipro does slightly more dmg, but again Kharod has faster Rate of Fire. Dnipro is ok, but far from better.
At the end of the shotgun run, go just a smidge north into the production complex and there's a SEVA-I suit, which is way better than any of the other suits until far into the main story or you box up to the Diamond in Yaniv
Or just put anything you want to take in a body and toss the body in the room with the safe. Walk through the door and loot the body
Thatnks T5 I'll cover this option soon.
How does that body looting work to get the SEVA Dan?
@@SiNKiLLeR_ same way. It's the suit I'm wearing now!
@@SiNKiLLeR_ i just realized that I'm not responding to the guy that was talking about arena. Weird.
These are tips for the arena not the shotgun run

Definitely Kharod for me with both blueprints is insane.
Fully upgraded the Dnipro using 7.62x39 is just on another level.
Its insane. Aiming to do a deep dive and compare them.
Is it better than the full upgraded clusterfuck? I'm using that atm I have a dnipro in base but I can't upgrade it yet.
Hahaha I looked it up and you uploaded 33 seconds ago lol. Thanks dude

so far saiga drum mag is only in the final mission basicly at the very end as in 5mins from end game credits
@@the_ejj shame its only can be use in the end
I still have hope that the drum mag is in the game and not the finally mission

Ordinary stash - no one will think to look here (DUGA) near the loot safe is a bag with an extended Kharod mag.
I was looking for it since i see it on the map but i can’t find the damn thing ! 🥴
Thank you! I might do an updated version down the track
Where do I get the sotnyk
Wish base game had the ammos stating what type of like fmj or ap by default
Lol it does? Lighter coloured box is fmj, darker is ap. I noticed this right away.
@ im not blind but on the bottom right when switch rounds its really small
@@JJT_eft there's a mod that can change the icons.
Could you include what techs will actually upgrade guns like Kharod? Seems like no tech can
Its mentioned in the last timestamp. I should rename it my bad.
@@SiNKiLLeR_ it's cool man. Your guide is great and helped me get an awesome gun.
So the paired magazine, you just found it randomly or are you asking where it’s at?
hes using a mod give every attachment, so he want to know where it is in game
Yep I'm still looking for it
You have the coupled mag in the thumbnail, but don't know where to get it?

There’s one at the Yantar agricultural workshop
Fully upgraded guns are way too expensive to repair

Bruh i use the fora 221 with an acog scope with single fire got over 1000 rounds from headshots but I play on rookie because I enjoy exploration lol
I just did the bar fight and methodically drop the gun until it was other of the changing room
Where did you get the mag
Only place we know of so far is the end of the game in the last mission :(
Can you make a video on how to make guides not disappear. Yaniv is already gone
Anyone know where the suppressor for the Kharod? I’m going insane looking for something. Can I remove the suppressor from the SOFMOD? Might pick that up
I do t think you can remove the suppressor. The suppressor will appear at vendors as you progress through the campaign. Should find it in Rostok
Maybe i will try the Kharod but i loooooove my Sniper AR 416

Where u get that knife?
