Axxii’s Stealth Mod
This mod aims to improve the detection system in this game, NPCs shouldn’t spot you instantly from 20 meters or more, since that breaks immersion. Some testers are saying that it works, but note that it could be placebo, since I haven’t found a 100% sure way to test this addon.
The mod:
- Improves the spotting by NPCs based on the weather (for example easier to spot you on a clear day than during a foggy day)
- Fooliage translucency is reduced too by a bit (this should nerf NPCs spotting through grass or bushes)
- NPC perception of low crouch and crouch sound reduced
- Cover height and width
- NPCs now should search for you instead of instantly spotting you, this improves immersion (unless you shoot them they’ll spot you)
- The minimum distance NPCs should take to completely spot has been increased a bit (from 4,5 meters to 10 meters)
Installation:
1. Unzip the zip file to get the .pak file:
zz_Axxii_StealthMod_P.pak
2. Add the .pak file to the following folder (if the ~mods folder doesn’t exist, create it):
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl\Stalker2\Content\Paks\~mods
To do:
- Make NPCs easier to spot you if you have your flashlight on at night (roughly spot you from 20 or 40 meters away)
- Change material type sounds (footsteps on metal/wood/dirt/etc.)
