GSC Game World continues to improve the technical state of S.T.A.L.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl and released the next major update.

Here's What We Know

Patch 1.4 is available on PC and Xbox Series, which provides more than seven hundred fixes and improvements. The developers have significantly improved the A-Life simulation system, thanks to which the Zone will become more alive, and characters and mutants will take various actions, even if they are not in the direct line of sight of the player. This mechanics worked incorrectly on the release of STALKER 2 and the authors kept their promise and adjusted it.

Changes have been made to the behaviour of mutants, some of their species will now eat dead bodies, and if someone approaches them, they will immediately go into a state of combat readiness.

Enemies-humans have learnt to use shelters more actively, will try to run over the player with grenades, and their actions will become more coherent and well thought out. And the main thing - sausage will no longer bleed when you shoot at it)))))

The authors have not forgotten about general improvements in performance and stability.

The new list of innovations can be found on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. website or on the game ' s page in Steam . 2 or on the game's page in Steam.
