S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

A complete walkthrough of the game divided into 34 saves. During the game, many artifacts, weapons and consumables were collected for a comfortable passage, some of which are on the character, and the rest are in the cache/storage. I used a mod for weightless consumables, but you can play without it. Frequently used weapons and armor were pumped in Yanov. In later saves, you can choose one of 4 endings. I chose the ending for Strelok. Enjoy your passage.

Single save on the first visit to Zalesye. Standard version of the game without mods and DLC. There are several of the best guns and armor (not improved), a detector and artifacts, as well as some ammo and half a million coupons for small things.

This set of saves covers the main path of the game: from the beginning at the Dump through the Swamps, the Backwater and the Wild Island to NIICHAZ, as well as the final point at the Boat on the Wild Island. Suitable for those who have lost their own saves or who want to start the game from a specific location. Download the archive and unzip it, moving the files C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\Steam\SaveGames Place the CampaignsSave.sav file in SaveGames

Game Start - Prologue. (Ultimate Edition) The Zone map is completely open. Already at the beginning of the game you have collected: all artifacts that are in the game all weapons and attachments for them all detectors all key cards and keys to locks the best types of armor all blueprints for upgrading weapons and armor (achievement on Steam) Armor and weapons are improved in all branches, all weapons are already fully equipped with the appropriate attachments. At the request of the workers, the game begins during the day, not at night. All your items are in a personal chest at the base and are available at any base in the Zone, wherever you are. Carefully choose what exactly you need to take from the chest, because the quest item cannot be sold or thrown away! IMPORTANT !!!! Insert the "SaveGames" folder as is, having previously completely deleted your save folder! Otherwise, the game will not see the save! P.S... No tasks - neither main nor side were completed, quests, caches were not opened, no locations were visited

Save immediately after accepting the quest "Wasp's Nest" and the first attack in Zalesye. Wasp's Nest Broke My Save? If you, like me, have found yourself in this situation, I suggest a continuation save. The save is not mine at first! originally gog version (thanks to TearfulNyxarathax) The file contains the entire folder, installed on the steam version. Download the archive and unzip it, moving the files C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\Steam\SaveGames

Save after the X-5 laboratory, where many have a bug with Dvupalov, this save will help you bypass the bug. Save in the bar, after handing over the documents to the Professor. Safe Steam version of the game! Also, before replacing files, be sure to save the original save files! Download the archive and unzip it, moving the files C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Stalker2 Before copying and replacing anything: 1. Save your folder of the same name 2. Disable cloud saving in steam (right-click on the game - properties - general - remove the slider in the steam cloud column) 3. Replace the folder C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\STEAM\SaveGames with the folder of the same name from the archive. You don't need to replace anything else.

The progress was made without bugs (except for the penetration from the Yanov base to Jupiter). Without using cheats, without mods, trainer, etc. What is in store: 1) Fully improved "Kharod" with all body kits 2) Fully improved "Syda D-12" with all body kits 3) Fully improved Diamond exoskeleton 4) 1,000,000 coupons for everything - everything 5) Free access to Pripyat How to set the save: 1) Download the file 2) Copy and paste this into the address bar of the explorer: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\STEAM 3) Delete the "SaveGames" folder, if it is there, and paste the downloaded file there

The last save before the final quests. It's better not to go further, since you'll go to the final lab, and you can't get out of there even with software. I collected all the weapons, except for the "Scar Gauss Gun" from the finale, since it's logical that it can only be obtained from there with software for freeplay. Additional tasks are not touched, only the final ones remain from the overalls. Some artifacts are not collected. For those who just want to run around the world, with the completed storyline, and complete additional quests. Saves for GOG, but it seems to convert to other versions without problems. Passed for Varta. Since there will be a big overload, it is better to use a trainer. Download the file. Unzip to the folder with saves.

This is the beginning of your journey into the heart of Chernobyl, where radiation, anomalies and mutants become part of your daily existence. A place where the line between reality and nightmare is erased, and you are just one of those who decided to challenge the unknown. Every moment in this save reflects the first steps into the unknown, where every decision you make can change your fate. Explore the destroyed territories, face the consequences of those who tried to survive before you, and make decisions that affect not only your life, but also the future of the Zone. A save that will preserve your experiences, your first encounters with a world full of dangers, and will open up many paths leading to the truth. Extract the contents of the archive along the path -> (C:\Users\U7/AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\STEAM) to the STEAM folder *My path to save, yours is the same except for the user name* (You should have a SaveGames folder in the folder) Check the contents of the SaveGames folder Launch the game
