The stand-alone mod S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly aims to be the most stable and customizable experience for fans of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. It's powered by the Monolith 64-bit engine, a custom fork of the X-Ray engine.
The stand-alone mod S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly 1.5.1 aims to be the most stable and customizable experience for fans of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. It's powered by the Monolith 64-bit engine, a custom fork of the X-Ray engine.
Players can choose from a variety of ways to play the mod. Play story mode with 4 chapters of interesting quests, sandbox mode if you prefer to make up your own story, or the combat intense warfare mode where factions fight for influence and control over different areas of the zone.
Anomaly is also highly customizable, play it the way you like and have the most fun. There are hundreds of settings that can be tweaked in the options menus and for more advanced changes, there are over 1000 addons for Anomaly that were created by other players to change the experience in more advanced ways.
One of the most popular changes in Anomaly 1.5.1 since Beta 3 is the addition of a 3D PDA.
When holding the PDA in the lowered position, stalkers can track their position on the map while walking around. This will make it easier to navigate towards map markers like hidden stashes or mission objectives.
And to interact with the PDA it can be held closer to your eyes so it will fill almost the whole screen and the text on it is more readable. If you prefer the old style 2D PDA we even added an option to switch back to it, but real stalkers would not do that.
"Lost to the Zone" Storylines has been added to 1.5 update, with its three installations:
And the new bonus story:
Additionally, you're free to assist your faction and complete their questlines.
The majority of quests will offer info about your targets before accepting, in addition to new types of quests to keep the player busy.
Every stage of the storylines will unlock a bonus faction for the player. A new set of achievements have been added to game as well.
Every single level has been reworked to help convey the feeling of an overgrown, relatively undisturbed Zone. The weather system is improved and expanded to offer variety and atmospheric feel.
Shaders and visual effects have received major improvements, such as the new gasmask with nice refractions, cracks react to light and raindrops. In addition to better tone mapping, water reflections, new wet surface shaders and more.
The A-Life received major changes. For a start, stalkers travel more frequently and report their activity in the other parts of the Zone.
The Zone is constantly changing, so are the anomalies and mutants. Dynamic world items are everywhere around you, even in places you might not expect. Each playthrough will carry something different for you to look for. Explore the Zone, and you might find something nice during your journey.
Special characters and common stalkers offer more unique tasks, along with expanded dialogue. Stalkers can sell and buy items from traders, or even visit local mechanics to upgrade their favorite weapons. In addition: Loners, Mercs and a few others can offer escort services for a fee. Many special characters also have connections around the Zone: you can offer them a payment to bribe an enemy faction, temporarily preventing them from attacking on sight.
The disguise system has improved. Your equipment and behavior affects the way stalkers observe and remember you. And a new experimental feature will make stealth kills more viable to kill enemies sneakily.
Your rank and reputation counts. Exceptionally high or low values respectively will attract attention, possibly even from your enemies...

Allow me to help you. There is an .exe program called "Free Download Manager".
Here you can copy any download link in the browser, and download it without any problems and with a much larger megabyte width.
Link: Freedownloadmanager.org
Its weird the patch worked but I have the same issue with the actual game download.. Its stops at the end and wont do anything
Try using the torrent link if you are using the browser download. Had similar issue, and that had helped me.
How will modding work on Xbox and will this mod be on it when modding will come to Xbox?
It won't, it uses mod.io.
hello, this mod is great but there are still things that I don't like since the beginning of the game.
No intro, to tell the story a little, we let ourselves into the game without explanations.
When we switch from third person view to first person view, the arms are invisible.
You have to change weapons to make them reappear.
The arms, gloves, do not correspond to the models visible in the third person. for example, the model with the sweater has no gloves in first person and when looking in third person he has gloves. Novice Gloves are green in first person and black in third person. It would also have been nice to have models that matched what was equipped. I put on a bag, I see it on my back, the same for gas masks, hoods, etc. The models all exist or almost all, it would be enough to say it in the script to change depending on what you equip.
There is a strange metallic noise when walking in water....
Some slopes are not climbable while others are. For example in marshes. Towards the mission.
I find it extremely difficult to avoid radioactive areas. Often we are already written off before we can even react and stop.
There are a lot of items... Useless for me. We should make a version where the basic games are a little more respected, basic weapons, basic equipment, basic model. Optionnel but bothers me a lot.
A mod allows you to see your legs, the problem is that the arms you put on are not the right colors...
Good points.
It is very beautiful.
The animations.
The lives of zombies have been modified, it is much more realistic.
The game is very big and has many cards.
The variation of NPCs, events, mutants.
I like history.
Sorry for this wall.
Thanks you for this mod!
There are countless, countless addons that can fix various glitches within Anomaly "If that's considered glitches", and increase your immersion in the game. Anomaly is a mod for players that already comes from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R World. long time. You don't need a cutscene to explain the story, since you're a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. who is entering the Zone to dismember new parts of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Universe.
The amount of addons for this game surely is very impressive, as well as it seems to be a nice political tool to keep the game up on the local list - some could claim it deserves it, both the popularity and the rank - but from a practical standpoint, which is from a standpoint of a person who just wants to look up for some nice tweaks to have in the game, it is self defeating. One could think you guys write a book here and I do not think only of history. Nonetheless, keep doing what you are doing, there is no turning back now.
Maybe the devs do take inspiration from some of these addons, thinking about their next release, either of this game or some other.
Hello everyone, there is an addon that turns on the game player when moving to another location.
and the music from my playlist continues to play.
help me find him please
