- Improved npc animation and other fixes
- Suits and weapons repair mod with dialogue option (the only npcs that offer repairs are Sidorovich, Barkeep, Sakharov and Lukash (freedom))
- Infiltration addon (putting on a faction specific suit makes you friendly with that faction. However for preserving game balance and difficulty, putting on SEVA suit or Monolith suit does not change your faction.)
- Looting suits from dead stalkers (loot chances are low and condition is very poor. This tries to immitate that most armor on dead bodies is unfit for wear after being riddled with buller holes and the main character is a bit peeky on picking up just any suit).
- Looting money from corpses. Amount is based on npc rank.
- Mutant parts can be looted only with knife out. All mutants drop parts.
- Prolonged item use and overtime medkit healing. (The player hides their weapon when using an item. Bandages and food don't heal.)
- No more primary and secondary weapon slots. Both slots can be used for primary and secondary weapons.
- More belt slots (10).
- Freeplay avaliable after any ending.
