New Stalker 2 Update Is Enormous, Promising 1,200 Changes To Combat, Performance, More

Another month and GSC Game World has delivered another massive update to Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Patch 1.3 for the open-world survival shooter introduces more than 1,200 changes, touching on almost every aspect of the game--including smoother monster movements, additional death screens, and fixing NPCs blocking player movement.
On the Stalker subreddit, Stalker 2 players seemed especially excited to discover that the Saiga D-12 shotgun's drum magazine can now be discovered outside the endgame. Another point of emphasis for GSC Game World was addressing main storyline bugs, which hopefully will stop people from getting stuck in the game.
Stalker 2's massive 1.2 patch focused on game-breaking bugs last month, too. So in back-to-back months, the studio has introduced 2,900 changes for the survival shooter. That's not all, either. In December, Stalker 2's first major patch featured over 1,800 bug fixes.
