According to many gamers, first-person shooter "STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl" is one of the best games in its genre. Great music, a good plot, a huge open world, many secondary quests - all this made the game even a cult. But for those who want to complete the game for the first time, it will be useful to learn how to repair weapons in Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. This will avoid certain difficulties.
Why repair weapons?
Unlike most shooters, in this game weapons tend to wear out. One is more durable, but the other fails relatively quickly. Worn-out weapons often misfire, which in the midst of battle can lead to the most undesirable consequences. Of course, you can use the codes for weapons, completely solving this problem.
Having entered the folder with the installed game, you need to find the setup-bp.exe file. By running it, you need to enter the pseudodog or snork code to choose from. This will allow you to get nice bonuses. There are no other codes for "Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl", although various forums sometimes post different versions, but they do not pass practical testing.
But nevertheless, most players consider such frank cheating unacceptable, trying to adhere to the framework defined by the creators of the game. In addition, codes for weapons spoil the pleasure of the game, upsetting the balance. In subsequent parts of the series, the developers provided for the possibility of repair and modification of weapons. Turning to the techniques, you can for a certain fee not only update your favorite pistol, rifle or machine gun, but also improve their characteristics: damage, magazine size, range, and more. Unfortunately, in the first part there is no such option. And the weapon wears out pretty quickly. Therefore, the players have the expected question: how to repair weapons in Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl?
Using the features of the Zone
Since there are no technicians (more precisely, they are, but they refuse to repair anything at all), you have to go to various tricks. Which is understandable - it’s a pity to throw away rare weapons or a suit mined with great risk to life only because the developers did not want to add an option to repair them. In addition, these tricks have nothing to do with cheating - just the competent use of the features of the game and minor flaws.
Sometimes on locations you can find "plot" corpses. That is, these are the bodies of characters who were not killed by the Sword and therefore did not disappear when moving from one location to another. They will help solve the problem of how to repair weapons in Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. Find such a corpse, rummage over it and leave the badly damaged weapon in the inventory of the deceased. Now leave the location, and then immediately return and hurry to the "familiar" deceased until someone else has searched him. Take away the weapon left before - usually its resource increases significantly (most often up to 70-90%), which allows it to be used for a long time.
Unfortunately, this is the only way to repair a weapon without damaging your reputation. Yes, there are many places in the game "Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl" where you can find weapons. But the repair is much worse.
Or maybe you are interested in armor repair? After all, it is wearing out even faster from bullet hits, fights with mutants and the effects of anomalies, and changing it is harder and more expensive.
First you need to find five identical artifacts that protect against anomalies. It:
- "Dummy" for fiery anomalies.
- "Batteries" for electrical.
- "Films" for chemical.
Having put all five artifacts on your belt, you need to stand in the corresponding anomaly (or in the fire, if you use "Soothers"). Protection in this case will be 150%. As a result - acid, fire or electricity, instead of spoiling the suit, they quickly restore it.
Of course, finding five such valuable artifacts is quite difficult. But it is quite possible by the end of the game, when there are costumes that do not want to be changed to other, less suitable ones.
We use the "unclean" method
There is another way to repair weapons in Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. True, he is very "unclean." To do this, you need to find a beginner (usually at the Cordon or Landfill) and throw out damaged weapons near him. He is probably greedy and picks it up, putting it in inventory.
Now you can quietly finish off the gullible stalker and rummage through his things. Almost completely killed weapons are repaired to 90, or even up to 95%. But be careful - this can ruin the relationship with many stalkers in the Zone.
Conclusion
The article is drawing to a close. Now you know how to repair weapons and armor in "Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl" and you will certainly be able to use this knowledge with benefit. So, weapons and equipment will always be in excellent condition and will definitely not fail at a crucial moment.
