S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl – What To Do With Your Broken Weapons

by

As a seasoned Stalker, I’ve weathered many storms and faced countless anomalies in the Zone. The art of managing my weapons is not just a matter of life and death, but also a testament to my survival instincts honed over years.

In the game STALKER 2, it’s crucial to effectively handle your equipment for survival. Damaged items refer to weapons or accessories that have been worn out due to prolonged use.

This article explores strategies for maximizing the utility of damaged weapons in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, as each weapon has a wear-and-tear gauge that decreases with use, particularly during conflict.

What To Do With Your Broken Weapons

In the game, weapons deteriorate progressively and can be classified into three conditions: green signifies they’re in good shape, yellow indicates slight damage but still functional, while red means they’re completely broken or unusable.

A weapon with a red shield is practically useless until it’s repaired, and traders won’t take it either.

You can still get some use out of a broken weapon; just start by unloading any leftover ammo.

Ammo is a valuable resource in the Zone, so take it before ditching a broken weapon.

After recovering the ammunition, there’s no need to hoard it anymore. This action will help you conserve Coupons since you won’t have to buy as many bullets in the future.

If a broken weapon is rare or one you plan to use, repairing it is worth considering.

Repair services are available from technicians in non-hostile areas, such as Lens in Zalissya.

Since the weapon wears out, its repair costs tend to rise over time. It makes more financial sense to fix it before it completely breaks down.

As a gamer, I’d say it’s wise to repair my weapon when it reaches the yellow level to prevent the hefty costs that come with completely broken equipment.

If you’re no longer planning to use a weapon, leave it behind after collecting the ammunition.

Another way to go is by keeping valuable broken weapons in your stash.

Preserving an item with personal significance or practical utility for battles, such as storing it securely while awaiting repairs, can help avoid the tragic outcome of it being lost forever.

But don’t overdo this, so you have space for your other gear.

On the other hand, attempting to repair broken weapons purely for resale is not a good idea.

In many cases, the cost to fix a weapon exceeds what buyers are ready to spend on it, rendering the use of coupons for such purchases inadvisable, as it would not be a wise or practical investment.

If you can keep weapons from breaking in the first place, you’ll avoid extra costs.

Check your gear often and fix any wear to keep your weapons in good shape for combat.

Have you ever regretted keeping a broken weapon in your stash for too long?
