This FAQ is based upon the unpatched version 1.00, if there are any changes
made in the patch then please inform me about it since I prefer to play the
unpatched version, mainly because of the anoying durability change of the
armors so that they are very easily destroyed now.
=============================================================================
=================================Version History=============================

V1.00
It started March, 24, 07. I saw that there was no FAQ and so I decided,

HISTORY OF CHERNOBYL
S.T.A.L.K.E.R is a tactical, first-person game of engagement set within the
irradiated expanses of the Zone. This blighted and dangerous area, emanating
from the ruins the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, is home to twists of nature,
echoes of humanity, a mercenary, a Stalker, who must struggle to uncover a
troubled past.
=============================================================================
========================1. Background========================================
=============================================================================
THE FIRST INCIDENT 26.04.1986
At 1:23am on Saturday, April 26th, a scheduled test of Reactor 4 in the VI.
Lenin Memorial Nuclear Power Station resulted in a nuclear meltdown that would
contaminate a wide area and produce a cloud of radioactive fallout blowing
across Ukraine, Belarus and Russia as well as parts of eastern and western
Europe, Scandinavia, the UK and as far a?eld as eastern areas of the US. It
was the worst accident in the history of nuclear power and the social,
political and ? nancial costs were unimaginable.
All it took was a simple operating mistake to collide with a routine
experiment designed to test the emergency cooling system. These two innocuous
events led to intense over-heating of the reactor core, the creation of
volatile oxyhydrogen and explosion that scattered radioactive materials over
a wide area, igniting everything its wake.
The areas in the immediate vicinity were subject to rapid evacuation. Such
wasemergency that over 160,000 people – all within 30 km of the accident
– left without thinking they would never see home again. Over the years,
visitors would remark on the ghostly presence a city abandoned could have,
as though an entire population were merely in the next room, waiting to
return. In time, the theories of how such an accident could occur would
mutate beyond reason but for that night and for the weeks that followed,
was told the story of the moment; a tragic narrative on East/West relations
and a commentary on nuclear power. The word on the lips of a generation
was: Chernobyl.
--- Directly from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R Manual
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
THE SECOND INCIDENT 13.04.2006
The second incident, when it occurred, was perhaps even more surprising than
the first. Of all the internationally renowned scientists involved in the
cleanup of Chernobyl not one would have expected even the slightest rumbling
to occur within the massive concrete sarcophagus that had tamed Reactor 4.
Not expecting, however, is a far cry from not occuring and the explosion,
when it shattered the early hours, showed just how shallow Chernobyl’s grave
of fear was. If the first explosion saw the end of the Soviet Union and the
cold war, the second would see the beginnings of something even more
terrifying. The immediate effects of the blast were dif? cult to observe,
evenmore to understand but within years the Zone around Chernobyl was
starting to attract a group of people convinced that prosperity lay in the
ravaged land. These people, a mixed bunch by any standards, came to be
known as Stalkers.
=============================================================================
And so it begins...
You are such a stalker, you were found close to a burned out truck that was
struck by a lightning bolt, somehow did you survive it but you have lost
your memory, all that is left is your PDA with a picture of someone called
Strelok and the note that you have to kill him. Why? YOu have no idea.
Neither do you know who you are or who he is, but you have the feeling
that you have to do it. And so you set out to find this Strelok and carry
out your task.
=============================================================================
===========================2. Missions=======================================
=============================================================================
Missions in general: You can choose in your PDA which quest shall be active
and Marked and an arrow appears which guides you, most of the time, towards
the place where you need to go.
=============================================================================
2a - Trader Missions:
These Missions are Randomly generated, as far as I can tell, and are mostly
about:
a) either killing someone or something or
b) either finding something and bringing it back, or
c) either defending something or
d) either killing a creature and then bringing a specific item back that
the creature carried.
They payment is pretty good and these Missions are a good way to rack up
Money since you not only receive money but also items from the Trader after
finishing the quest and weapons from the enemies, if they are humans that is.
=============================================================================
2b - Story Missions
Story Missiosn are pretty straight forward, imaging them to be just like the
ones in Elderscrolls 4: Oblivion, you can choose when to finish them or take
them on but you need to finish them to proceed with the story. Sometimes you
get Money/Items for finishing these missions.
=============================================================================
2c - Stalker Missions
These are missions that are given to you by other Stalkers. However they are
generally the same as the Trader Missions, just that the rewards are a bit
better.
QUEST: Find the Family Rifle.
WHERE TO GET: In the Bar in, well, the Bar from a Hunter which is drunk.
WHERE TO FINISH: In the wild Territory west of the Bar. If you enter the map
then just head west, regulary check your map, and then find
a way that leads down. You can easily find it in the western
corner of the map where there is a broken down burning
Chopper. Furthermore are there anomalies in the area, but
they are easy to dodge since you can climb upon the garbage
that is lying around. The needed rifle is then in a yellow
(or so I remember it) box which you can access from behind.
No worries if you don't find it in an instant, the rifle is
definietly in the tunnel and in the big box, but it is well
hidden.
REWARD: The hunter tells you the location of a secret stash inside
of the wild Territory, no worries, it will be marked on the
map. Inside of the stash will you find the SEVA suit.
QUEST: Kill the Stalker.
WHERE TO GET: In the Bar, in the Bar (No, this is not a typo. You find it
in the Bar in the Area the Bar.) Talk to Snitch there, he
will also sell you info's about Streloks Group.
WHERE TO FINISH: Follow the arrow up to the Military guy and kill him.
HINT: Use the Knife.
Then return to Snitch and collect your Reward.
REWARD: Mama's Beads (Artifact)
QUEST: Find the weapon of the Dutyer
WHERE TO GET: In the Bar. Just talk with everybody.
WHERE TO FINISH: I didn't do that Quest so far. Thanks Anticitizen101 though
for the info
Quest: Finding the Dutyer's Weapon.
WHERE TO GET: in the same bar, talk to the dutyer who seems pretty much
drunk. if you persist in talking to him, he will tell u about
the gun he lost during a recon mission to the dark valley.
WHERE TO FINISH: The gun is in the white building - not in 1 of the
extensions, it is in that building itself (i think grnd
floor, near the side door @ the rite side of building). it
is the Obonov or sumthin like dat. uses standard 74/U
bullets. The ammo slot in inv. has the gun name. the quest
item is modified ( green arrow). havent got it bak to him
yet...pretty good gun (sumtimes i dont wana give it).
Note: I know that there are more Quests out there that are given to you by
other Stalkers, however I did not complete all of them. So if you know about
any quest that is not listed here then please send me a brief Description of
it, where to find it, where to complete it and what reward you receive.
Thanks
=============================================================================
===========================3. Weapon Listing=================================
=============================================================================
I will list the weapon statistics with Points, like 23/25, that means that
the weapon has 23 out of 25 Max points in this section. How I can judge
that? Well, I counted the lines in the in game weapons and found out that
25 was the max of them. ^^

Tunder 5.45
Damage: 7 /25
Accuracy: 5 /25
Handling: 14/25
Rate of Fire: 14/25
Anticitizen 101 says ' after entering Duty territory from Garbage, go
towards the small bridge, but don't cross it.
instead, turn left and head towards a tree. you'll
find "Tunder"'
Kwik Shot says The tunder 5.14, as it is named in your faq, can NOT be
found in the bar area - it belongs to one of the stalkers
with a unique name who is moving around at the bar and
randomly moves into the direction of the dogs, the reason
why someone claimed he found it in the bar area may be
that the dogs killed him and he looted his corpse
Anticitizen101 says This is it !!!So I went to the Duty territory.. went to
the tree...and there was nothing there ! So I kinda
panicked..but check this out.. I went to the bar to get
somethings done, then I went to the Garbage area,
and right back to Duty territory... there was a Duty
soldier coming towards me... so I said to myself "hey,
what about this guy, he has a "Tunder" on his back..".
So I pulled out my Fast Firing AK and shot him in the
head (fast), and then I think the message about a
traitor in Duty territory appeared, but it dissapeared
almost instantaneously...
His Theory:As far as I know, I didn't kill the dogs&mutants the
first time I arrived at the bar, so somewhere between
the time I went to the Dark Valley to the time I came
back, the stalker must've fought the mutants, and
died. That however, doesn't explain the fact that I
didn't find his body ( the first time ) .. it must've
been a bug or a routine to clean-up bodies from the
game...
Cryax says, I also found the Tunder 5.45 in the bar area but with a
difference as your approaching the bridge turn left and hug
the cliff side untill you reach the fence that is supposed
to signyify the edge of the map. The fence at this point can
be jumped taking you outside the map. If you then follow it
round you will come to the outside of the buildings follow
them for long enougth and you will come across a Duty stalker
who is always an enemy no matter what (he is outside the map)
he has the Tunder 5.54. I think this is probably a bug it's
in V10001. be carefull though there are places where you can
fall out of the map all together leading to you falling
infinately.
Sniper SG1
Damage: ??/25
Accuracy: ??/25
Handling: ??/25
Rate of Fire: ??/25
Ninguable Oftheseveneyes says ' I found the Sniper SG1 on a Freedom Stalker

Kwik Shot says there seems to be a total of 3 vintar bc sniperrifles:
one is in the freedom base -> cross the bridge at the base
entrance, and turn left at the crossroads, in the last
house to the left on that road, near the snipertower,
there's a vintar simply lying around on the ground ; the
second one is a quest reward for bringing the duty leader
one of the bulldog 6s ; the third one can be obtained in
yantar, it is located in a stash at the beginning of the
laboratory in the elevator shaft (don't know where i got
the stash info from, though - i think it was one of the
zombie soldiers randomly spawning)
Dusty Cole says:There's another Vintar BC in a stash in Freedom Base.
I went Duty and when I killed Skinflint I got a stash
note. The stash is the hatch on the southeast side of
the base near where you have to kill the sniper for
the Duty farmstead mission. Vintar BC in there.
Derek Lafontaine says: Start at the destructable wall inside the base.
Turn right and drop down the small cliff. There is
a red and yellow hatch cover. This stash can be
acquired from a Freedom stalker either in the base
or at the Freedom checkpoint that borders the
monolith territory. I dont know his exact name or
location.
NukeRaven says: There is actually a fourth location of the Vinta BC
it can be obtained from from the leader of Monolith
group, which is stationed in one of the big houses
in Pripyat - it looks like a theatre. The leader is
nicknamed "Haron" (sorry if I mistaken - I only have
russian version of Stalker at this time).

In the beginning of the game, the very beginning, after you talk
with Wolf, climb the ladder right behind him. Once you're in the
farmhouse's second floor, turn around low-crouching, and look to
your right. You should see a ledge bringing you to the edge of
the house. Walk along it until you can walk on the roof, then
run and jump to the house next to you. Once you are on that
house's roof, go to the left of the rooftop, find the small
hole and use your knife/gun to break the box in the corner.
Low-crouch to get to it. Once you have it, don't forget to put
it on. It REALLY helps for the first part of the game.
Thanks John B
Note: You can't enter the top of the house, however you can get
the suit from the outside.
In v.1001 can you not longer find a Stalker suit but a Merc Suit
Dorchadas says Upon entering Strelok's Stash, immediately to your right is a
crate (which is behind some piping), Jump down and smash it
for a nice Stalker suit.

Mojo B. Fantastic says:
The SEVA suit can be found earlier than Yantar, in the wild
territories west of the bar as a matter of fact, in the heavily
radiated, boarded up house. You need to get the stash information
off a zombified stalker near the scorcher anomalies, and then get
into the safe. The stash information seemed to appear when I was
doing either the Family Rifle quest or the Escort the Professor
Quest -- either way, it should show up on one of those zombies.
Head back to that irradiated house, and you can either shove a
box on the western side of the house up under the window, or
climb up a ladder to get in. Either way, the SEVA suit is
inside a safe, and boy is it nice.

Actually, you can find and wear exoskeleton suit, although it appears at the
underground of Chernobyl, which is the very last mission.
After you got into the power plant, after going into the underground level,
you'll turn right once and there will be a Monolith soldier with gauss
rifle. Next, after killing him, there're two more of them, and you'll turn
right and turn left again, where is the point a broken wall appears.
At there, if you don't turn left to the broken wall and go straight,
you can use a ladder to lower level, but there's no way but high radiation.
Right there, you can find a stash near the end of the room, and there is a
exoskeleton suit with other items. Anyway, it has nothing better than the
green research suit except for bulletproof xD
jaymz 'bishop' heilbronn pointed out that you can buy it from skinflint
Michael St. Pierre says' One nifty detail about the EXO suit that I found out
today, and thought you might want to mention: while
the suit is quite heavy at 15kg, and makes it so you
can't sprint, it also boosts your maximum carrying
capacity from 60kg to 80kg, and overload from 50kg to
80kg. Pretty handy if you're not planning on
sprinting around much.'

===========================5. Enemy Listing==================================
=============================================================================
5a - Creatures
================================
Flesh
Description: Like most other living creatures in the Zone, the domestic pig
also underwent serious biological changes since the day of the
catastrophe. Mutant Pigs, simply known as Flesh among the
stalkers, are one of the most vivid examples of the zone's
disastrous pervesion of nature.
Tactic: Shoot them from the distance or while they charge at you,
however don't stop moving.
================================
Blind Dog
Description: Several Generations of the dog species have lived since the
catastrophe. Each was more affected by the Zone than the
previous one. The most notable biological change was the loss
of sigh, paired with an uncanny development of smell.
Personal Note: They hunt in groups, so be careful when the pack attacks you.
They can tear you to shreds in seconds. Alone they are wimps
however and run away.
Tactic: Shoot them from the distance or while they charge at you,
however don't stop moving.
================================
Boar
Description: A massive mutated Animal, reaching 1.5 meters at the shoulder.
The zone Boards aggressivness and ability to survive surpass
by far those of its relatives outside the contaminated area.
They charge at the enemy to tear them to shreds.
Tactic: Shoot them from the distance or while they charge at you,
however don't stop moving.
================================
Crow
Description: The only bird species to have survived in the zone, enduring
increased radiation levels and effectively avoiding anomalies.
Personal Note: I have never ever seen them in the game, seems they became
invisible by the radiation, or so it seems. ^^;
William Nemeth pointed out that they were ciclyng in the
air.. I would actually never have looked there ^^ Too
busy with things going on down on the ground.
Randal Barnot pointed the same out.
Screenshot: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=2002
Tactic: ??
================================
Snorks
Description: It seems those creatures were human at some point, though it
is difficult to imagine what conditions could turn a human
into such a disgusting beast. Snorks are insane creatures
leading a beasts life. They pounce at their enemy to pin them
down and tear them then to shreds.
Tactic: When they stand up and growl empty your mag into them, if they
do not die then reload and shoot at them while they charge at
you.
================================
Pseudogiant
Description: A Pseudogiant resembles a massive, drop shaped abdomen with a
pair of disproportional large limbs. The limbs are arms and
legs at the same time. An astonishing feature of this creature
is it's ability to create a massive shockwave.
Tactic: You don't see them to often, the only time I ever saw them was
in an underground area and there could I shoot them from
behind the door.
================================
Bloodsucker
Description: Experienced stalkers describe this semi-legendary beast as a
tall, henched humanoid with a mess of tentacles where it's
mouth should be. (Reminds me of Cthulhu ^^;) It is said that
it uses these tentacles to grab the throat of it's victim and
suck it then dry (hence the name Bloodsucker) only to leave a
withered corpse behind.
Personal Note: Those bastards can cloak themselves, so if you hear a
grunting sound, be careful, it might charge at you in
the next moment.
Tactic: Move backwards while it charges at you and fire at it.
================================
Controller
Description: A rare mutant seen near the center of the zone. Bears a
superficial resembles of a humanoid with a disproportionately
big head. Possess a good perception, and the ability to control
the behavior of lesser species.
Personal Note: These things shoot something at you and the next thing you
see is yourself from their eyes, this effect wears of
quickly but they use it so rapidly that you can't aim at
them with a gun, at least not properly.
Tactic: Charge forward at them with the knife, they won't use their
ability anymore and you can easily kill them.
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
5b - Human Enemies
================================
Stalker
Description: Your standard humanoid stalker. The weaponry will differ from
pistols up to Gauss rifles, the armory will also differ from
simple bandits, who have just minimal defence while Monolith
warriors will be heavily protected.
Tactics: Take cover behind something and shoot back at them.
Note: They will try to outflank you.
================================
Zombified Stalker
Description: The brains of thoose poor guys were scorched and now do they
only one thing, protect the thing that scorched their brains.
They are still armed with weapons and they still aim pretty
good for a brainless thing. They still wear the same protective
suit as they had before they were zombified, however they can
take much more damage and they will not bleed to death.
(It is actually quite amusing to see those 'zombies' twitch on
the ground)
Tactics: Take your knife out, charge at them and stab then for an instant
kill.
=============================================================================
===========================6. Factions=======================================
=============================================================================

freedom guy, only warshaw pact models (obokan, akm,

the other Freedom Stalkers, talking about him getting hit
with flying debris from the last stalker who made an ass
of himself in the freedom camp.

Note: This section is still under Construction. Please send me the statistics
of other artifacts and I will add them here. Thanks.
Artifact Bug: The artifacts that add to the bleeding damage actually work
reverse, they reduce the damage/time while the artifacts
that should reduce the bleeding damage/time are actually
increasing it, rendering them completely useless.
*Based upon the Game v1.00*
The same happens with the artifacts that should decrease
the bleeding time, they will actually increase the bleeding
time. (I actually knew that but forgot to mention that.*_*)
Artifact Note: The artifacts which give +XXX% Health do not add that to
your health but they increase your regeneration of health.

-At the beginning can you find a Stalker suit, however in the newest
patch (V1.001) has it been Repaced with a Merc Suit.
-Unlike in other Shooter games is a wooden wall not recommend to take cover
since the bullets will pierce the wood and still hurt you.
-Always take cover behind a wall when fighting with enemies. You are alone
and they have many so they can outnumber you very easily.
-Artifacts are not very good at the start of the game because they add rather
weak statistics to your stats while they have quite big disadvantages.
However later are they very useful since you can .
-Money is not an big issue later in the game, you don't have to collect all
the weapons and sell them then later, you will get more than enough money.
-The most useful weapon is the weapon which your enemies leave behind. Why?
Because they also drop Ammo with it and so you have a constant supply of it
and you don't have to return to the traders to buy new ammo.
-The best shop in the whole game is in Yahntar, there you can buy the best
weapons that are avaible for money and the according ammo for them.
-If you want to be in good terms with Duty and Freedom at the same time then
go to the Military warehouse. There you will meet a group of Duty stalkers
who want you to take out a sniper of the Freedom faction. Do the mission
and return. They will offer you a second Mission, however decline that
mission. They will move out then. Quickly run now to the commander of the
Freedom base and tell him about the Duty soldiers, then quickly run to Max
and report to him. In the meantime should Duty has begun attacking the camp.
DON'T ATTACK ANY SOLDIER!
Let Freedom finish the Duty soldiers, later return to the commander and
Report to him. Viola. You are now a friend of DUty (because you killed the
sniper) and a friend of Freedom because you wiped out the duty soldiers.
This worked for me though, I got an mail where someone had a problem with
killing the sniper since the whole camped turn hostile afterwards. I
will list here what exactly I did.
After receiving the mission did move to the wall and along it until I
came along a box of explosives and a corpse.
I fired at the sniper from my current position and so got his attention, he
however shot better and nearly killed me. I took then cover then and walked
along the wall towards the entrance of the camp and talked with the guy
there who told me something, which I just skipped. I thenw alked to the
tower and sneaked it up and there I saw the sniper aiming at the position
where he has seen me last. I then backstabbed him with my knife and went
on my way, the camp didn't turn hostile on me. Maybe it was just a bug?
Mike Nelson says: I ran up to the wall, where he couldn't see me.
Tilted my head skywards (say at a 85º or 80º angle
from the ground) and threw 2-3 grenades at varying
angles, while jumping.
They hit, I wasn't in harms way at all, and I could
quickly retreat back to the Duty base.
Just an alternate way to achieve the goal with the
weaker rifles we have at that point.
- There is an easteregg involving half-life and half-life 2. In lab x18 you
can find a pda on a scientist corpse in the orange research suit that shows
up as Gordon's pda. In it, it states how first it was black mesa then
some nameless town in russia then the Ukraine. It also says that he had to
trade his crowbar for a can of food. Half-Life fans would recognize this
right away.
- Another easteregg (To what it is refereing stays a mystery to me though)
There is one crazy stalker that can be found at Army Warehouse. He is
located near the main gate where the are 2 radioactive lakes and there is
a wooden house in the middle.If i am not wrong,he will be mumbling some
weird stuff.he is a zombie and if u kill him, you can get his flash drive
and in the house there are some stuff.
COrrection on my behalf and Michael Kang: It is NO easteregg
Kiwk shot says: about the insane stalker in the army warehouse area: he
actually shouts "hello! i'm insane! i belong in a mental
asylum!"
Michael Kang says: It is actually quest you can get from Max of the Freedom
Base

*WARNING SPOILER ALERT*
If you don't want to know about the endings then don't continue
to read further.
So far did I hear out about 6 endings that are possible. I However, only
managed to find 4 of them. I added all 6 Endings but I can only give

DirectX® 9.0 compatible sound card
and of course for online play:
LAN/Internet connection with low latency Cable/DSL/T1+ speeds
Q: But will I be able to run this game? I don't meet exactly the
requirements.
A: Neither do I. I only have a 3 Gig Processor, an old GeForce FX 5700
and 1 GB Ram, still can I play the game on 1024X786 and with high
details
Q: My game is running so slow! Help!
A: Uh.. yes.. ok.
To improve performance, from the main menu, select Options, and then select
the Video tab. Any of the following should result in improved performance.
—Change Render to Static Lighting
—Lower the Quality Settings to Medium, Low or Minimum
—Lower the game resolution to 1024x768 or lower
—Enable Full Screen
—Under the Advanced button, lower the settings for Vision Distance;
Anisotropic Filtering; Antialiasing; and Shadows Quality
Background Applications and Performance
Programs that run in the background while on the Internet, such as ICQ,
web browsers, voice communication applications, or file sharing programs
cut into the speed at which S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl plays.
Turning off these Internet-specific applications can also increase your
game speed. Antivirus and firewall software also commonly contribute to
performance issues. If you experience performance problems with Antivirus
or firewall software try to configure the software to exclude
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl from security checks. Contact your
software vendor for details.
System RAM and Performance
Another method of increasing performance in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of
Chernobyl is to add RAM to your computer if you are playing on a 512MB
system. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl can consume a great deal of
memory in very large games causing the system to use virtual memory.
This process is slower than using RAM directly, and while the speed of
your processor is a factor in the performance of the game, additional
memory can greatly enhance your game speed on baseline systems. Please
ensure that virtual memory is enabled in your operating system.
Dual Core and Performance
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl should utilize your dual and quad
core processor natively and automatically. Running a dual or quad core
processor is one of the best ways to improve performance.
Updated Video Drivers
It is highly recommended that you install the latest drivers for you
video card. These can be downloaded from your video card manufacturer's
website. Please visit http://www.asus.com/ depending on the type of card
you have.
Updated Sound Drivers
If you are experiencing problems with audio, or general performance
problems, you should check with your soundcard manufacturer to see if
there are updated drivers available. These can usually be obtained from
the soundcard manufacturer website.
Motherboard Drivers
Often motherboard drivers are overlooked when updating systems,
and as a result most computers are running very old versions that
simply do not work properly and may cause very noticeable slow downs
and stability issues. Please check with your motherboard manufacturer
to see if there are updated drivers available.

Q: Still is my game lagging! Help!?
A: Ok, I just read that on the gamesfaqs.com message board RIght click
on the shortcut on your desktop and then chose properties. Now add
to the target line -noprefatch , it should look now like
"C:Program FilesTHQS.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobylbin
XR_3DA.exe" -noprefetch
It is supposed to increase the loading times, making it faster, and
it also will make the game run smoother.
Q: You are a God! Thanks for the FAQ!
A: This is not a real question you know...
Q: Where can I find ?
A. If it is a costum weapon will I do my best to list where it can
be found, when I found it. The rest of the weapons in the game
are either bought or found when you kill an enemy.
Q: How comes that you do not play the latest patch (V 1.001) it rockz!
A: I don't like the way they changed how the durability of armor
decreases now. You loose way to quickly your armor now.
Q: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stands for what??
A: So far did I hear that it stands for
Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers
and Robbers. Which perfectly fits I daresay.
Greeg irwin pointed this out:
Anyways, I wanted to provide you a little bit of historical info for you to
add in (perhaps). While I don't know what S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stands for, I do
know that there are, in reality, stalkers currently working at ChNPP.
They were the first responders, the cleanup crews, and those who keep an
eye on the beast beneath the concrete and steel sarcophagus. Here's a
link to an EPA slide showing three stalkers
http://www.epa.gov/rpdweb00/rert/chernobyltour/tour_09.html#viewertop.
And if you click the left arrow underneath the picture (or follow this link)
you can find the photo that Strelok and the Doc talked about after X16.
Just wanted to pass that little tid-bit along. Thanks, and keep up the
excellent work!
(I will do that, no worries. ^^)
Vladislav Todorov pointed this out:
The publishers have stated that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stands for Scavengers,
Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killer, Explorers and Robbers.
But the background idea and terms "Stalker" and "The Zone" are taken from
the novel "Roadside Picnic" written by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.
P.S.: In the former Soviet Union, the area of the Chernobyl disaster has
become analogous to the Strugatskys' novel. Humans are not supposed to live
within 19 miles of the disaster site, giving rise to a 1,400 square mile
region formally referred to as the Zone of alienation, informally known as
"The Zone", hence the analogy. The Zone, straddling the Ukraine-Belarus
border, contains a ghost city, Prypiat, Ukraine and many ghost villages.
It has unwittingly become a major nature reserve. Like in the novel, the
Zone attracts some illegal scavenging. Some scientists investigating the
area nicknamed themselves "Stalkers".
Q: How can I contact you?
A: Uh.. scroll a bit down to the Contact secion, will you? ^^
Q: You are awsome!
A: Well, thanks.. but this is not a question either.
Q: Where can I buy Scopes or Supressors?
A: You can not buy them but...
Q: WHAT? I can't buy then, what is that?!
A: Let me finish, you can not buy them but some weapons have scopes
which you then can remove and attach to other rifles. Tho remove a
scope from a weapon right click on it and a popup menu will be
shown. left click there then upon 'Dismount Scope' to dismount the
scope.
Q: That doesn't works!
A: Then has the weapon obviously no detachable scope.
Q: How can I attach a scope/launcher/supressor
A: Right click on the scope/launcher/supressor and if it can be
attached then an option called 'attach to current weapon (or
something like that) should appear. Left click on it and it
will be attached to the weapon.
Q: Where is the secret door you mention in the ending section?
A: Well, you know the room just before you come to the room where the
wishmaker is located in (in the very last level of the game, in
the power plant).The room I talk about has only two exists, the one
where you came in and the one leading to the wishmaker. Walk around
the room and you will see a ladder eventually on the wall, climb
that ladder up and go to the ending of the hallway, there should be
a door there which is locked. Use it (Standard Key 'E') and you
should receive a quest update where you are told that you will
decode the door now. Do that and hold of the monolith soldiers for
30 seconds, violà, you just opened the secret door.
You need to have the decoder with you (!) and you need to have the
quest to actually find the secret door, if you don't have the quest
then it won't be triggered.
Q: Where is the secret tunnel exit from Lab 16?
A: It is right from Ghost's Corpse, you need to destroy a few barrels
and there it is, a hole in the ground.
Q: Where is the SEVA suit you are talking about? The one which can be
found in the wild territory?
A: In addition to what Mojo B. Fantastic says:
In the the wild Territory, just north of the Duty base is a highly
radioactive house, when you come close to it will your scanner beep
like mad. You then either can shove a box under one of the windows
or you can climb upon a nearby ladder from a nearyb house and jump
upon the house then. From there can you jump down and into the
house. Quicksave before however since there is an electric anomalie
inside the house and just right underneath the hole in the roof is
a deep hole into which you will fall if you are not carefull.
However inside of the house is a save where the SEVA suit is
located. You need the mark upon your map where it says that there
is a secret stashed inside of the house, if you don't have it then
it won't work.
Gunslinger777 pointed this out:
I just wanted to add something to your valubale guide (I read it on
Gamespot.com) I have found the SEVA Suit just west of the bar area.
I mean the wild territory just left of the bar area.(where that
family rifle is supposed to be) anyhow if you climb up the ladder
where the sniper is you should be able to land on the two pipes and
walk on them all the way to another building from that building roof
also jump on another single pipe this time and you should be able to
cross to the house with a big hole as if a meteor had struck it from
above walk on the logs to get down as soon as you are in the house it
will be in a vault in one of the rooms to the right.
Q: What are scorcher anomalies?
A: They are these flame pillars that suddenly appear and hurt you.
Q: The game starts so hard! What can i do to make it easier?
A: Get the Stalker/Merc suit ASAP and then get a Stone Blood artifact
(which can be found in the house of nimble) and since it is bugged
will it be helpfull.
Q: I can't find the Blood Stone you are talking about, where is it?
A: Artifacts are generated randomly when an anomalie vanishes, in my
first walkthrough did I find no artifacts in Streloks Hideout while
I found 4 Moonlight's in my second walkthrough.
Q: How can I throw grenades?
A: Press 4 (standard button) and you will have selected the grenades.
Now press the Fire button as normally and you will throw them.
Q: What gun should I use?
A: (based of information from natasha8384 and Omikias of GameFaqs) It
seems that its best to use the strongest gun that uses the calibur
the enemies you face the most in the area your are questing in.
But the guns you get are gradually different.
Q: Why is my gun jamming so much?
A: Guns jam more and more as the durability of the weapon deteriorates
try to switch to a new gun once 20% of the durability is gone.
(Info from FlankerDFMax of GameFaqs)
Q: How can I complete the 'Get Snork's Body Part' Quest?
A: Well, kill snorkers, they sometimes have the item in their corpse,
but more than often not.
Q: How can i open locked doors ,lockers etc.?Do i need a key to it?
A: You can open locked doors by shooting the keyhole (yeah, the one you
put the key in) and its open! I dont think there are keys to them
but some doors (quests like lab X18) need a code to unlock it.
Quick Summary:
- Locked lockers - shoot the part where they usually put the lock at
(the thing that is pointed out)
- Locked doors - shoot the lock
- lock cupboards(the ones fitted on to tables) - shoot the keyhole
Q: I spent a lot of time trying to find a vehicle but I can't find one.
Help?! Where is it?
A: There are no vehicles int ehg ame, at least none that can be driven.
Q: But I saw a trailer featuring it!
A: Well, I didn't see that trailer. maybe they simply decided to remove
this feature or it didn't managed to get into the final version, I
don't know.
Q: How can i kill Strelok?
A: Well, you need to progress through the game as normal and when you
have a pair of GRENADEs face the corner of a building. Now select
the Grenades and throw them into the corner, unequip you armor before though.
Coninue that until you are dead, congratulations, you killed Strelok.
Q: What..?!
A: *Sigh* YOU are Strelok. Get it now?

===========================13. How to Install Mods===========================
=============================================================================
First download this little tool and extract it into your game folder of
S.T.A.L.K.E.R
http://rapidshare.com/files/22583326/dbex_rel_1.rar.html
Then read the readme file and start the correct executable for your version.
Now, select the file gamedata.db0 and extract it to a folder called
'gamedata' without the quotes, you have created before, now do that with
every file called gamedata.db~ (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a). Viola, you just
extracted all of the resources, scripts, models,a ctors, etc, etc to your
gamedata folder. Now you need to tell the game however that it is supposed
to look into the gamedata folder and do not use the normal gamedata.db~
files. FOr that do we need to change the fsgame.ltx file. Open it with
Notepad and change the line
$game_data$ = false| true| $fs_root$| gamedata
into
$game_data$ = true| true| $fs_root$| gamedata
In my case did it also work without changing anything at all, dunno why
though. So, you now did that, what now you might ask? In the folder
gamedataconfigmisc
can you find a lot of interesting stuff, like the artefacts (Artefacts.ltx)
or the Unique items (nique_items.ltx) or also the various armors and the
statistics of them (outfit.ltx).
Every *.ltx file can be opened via notepad so that you can cahnge the
statistics. be warned though that if you change something and the game can
not read it that it will refuse to load and will crash back to the desktop.
If that happens simply delete the gamedata folder and extract all files into
it again.
Also can you find in the All UsersDocumentsSTALKER-SHOClogs
the logs of the game and why it has crashed.
Generally is this folder on the drive C: where windows is installed, I
took the adress of where it is located on my computer, so in dire need simply
search for 'STALKER-SHOC' on your computer, without the quotes.
The mods
