STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, much like its predecessor, features a thrilling story about humanity and survival. Although the game’s primary focus is the moment-to-moment gameplay, it doesn’t come at the cost of its narrative. Similar to the original Stalker game, the sequel offers various Weapons, Armor, and Attachments that players can equip while progressing. Attachments are essential for enhancing your weapons capabilities, allowing you to change and improve your playstyle. Moreover, you can easily attach and detach the attachments from your weapons at any time and tackle a situation accordingly. In this guide, we will list all the attachments available in STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl along with which weapons you can apply on and possible locations.
Attachments Overview in STALKER 2 Heart of Chornobyl
The Attachments mechanic is not new to the STALKER series as it has been a part of the previous games. All of the major weapon types like Pistols, SMGs, Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, etc. have four different attachment slots where you can attach various attachments. Each attachment can modify your weapon and enhance its capability. For instance, if you wish to be silent and take out the enemies without raising suspicion of your presence, you can use a Silencer Attachment.
Equip the Silencer Attachment on a possible weapon and take out the enemies silently from a safe distance. This kind of playstyle will help you greatly in clearing out spots of bandits without getting into too much heat. One of the great things about the Attachments feature is that you do not have to visit a technician to modify the attachments on your weapon. You can freely attach and detach the Attachments, even in combat.
However, not all attachments can be attached to any weapon as each attachment is for certain weapons only. Moreover, as you progress in the main story, you will come across various weapons on which you cannot apply attachments until you get a rail upgrade for the weapon. In such scenarios, you must first upgrade certain weapons at the Technician to apply the rail and then use the quick action to apply the corresponding type of attachment to the weapon.
