Transcript

Turns out the anomaly that destroyed your house left behind something worthless unless you take it back to Chernobyl. But the problem is you have to smuggle it in. A scientist will pay you enough to start over if you can charge it back up. Strap more of them to your chest to make you tougher, slower, radioactive. But nothing you're carrying helps when a mutant shrugs off your bullets and tears the rifle out of your hands without touching it. But you go deeper anyway into a war two factions started the moment they broke their truce. Pick a side, fight your way through the other one and decide what happens to the zone. All for a deposit on a new home. This game is Stalker 2 and the Cost of Hope expansion just released a free 2.0 update on PC, PS, and Xbox, adding new weapons, several new areas, and over 20 hours of content.
