Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain
visual images, including ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games.
Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause these photosensitive epileptic seizureswhile watching
video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptomschildren and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these
seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking
the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play
in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.

YEAR 2011
This year saw the addition of new horrors to the
Zones already impressive assortment. The explosive
changes claimed many lives, with stalkers dying in
anomalies on paths previously considered safe and
catching bullets in the Faction Wars. However, the
most dangerous threat to stalkers was what they so
appropriately termed burnout, their word for the
horric effects of unusual emissions. Bursts of this
invisible energy sweep through the area, leaving
corpses or empty, brainless human shells, hordes of
which have become a constant feature of the Zone.
INTRODUCTION
In 2011 a few stalkers managed to get near Chernobyl NPP for the first time. Their raid, audacious in
both intent and execution, had unexpected consequences. The exclusion zone was thrown into chaos: an
unprecedented emission of anomalous energy tore up the whole area, covering previously safe paths with
fields of deadly anomalies. However, the daredevils who were carefully seeking out new paths now realized
that they have the opportunity to go where no stalker had gone before and explore untouched mountains of
artifacts. The now regular emissions, which continue to rock the Zone to its core, provide the backdrop for
a struggle for power, which will go on to be known as the Faction Wars. The reckless fighting of all against
all obliterated the previous balance of force. It is in these circumstances that an unknown mercenary was
able to affect the course of events. Having been thrown into the center of the struggle between the stalker
clans, the man stood in the way of the legendary Strelok and attempted to scupper his plans.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R is a tactical, first-person game of engagement set within the irradiated expanses of the Zone.
This blighted and dangerous area, emanating from the ruins of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, is home
to twists of nature, echoes of humanity and a mercenary, a Stalker, who must struggle to uncover a troubled
past even as the Zone fights to protect a terrible future.
THE SECOND INCIDENT
1304.0413.2006
THE FIRST INCIDENT
04.26.1986
NEWSPAPER REPORT,
THURSDAY 13.04.0413.2006
Fears were again raised in Chernobyl last night,
with confirmed reports of an explosion emanating
from the Chernobyl region. Coming, as they did,
nearly twenty years after the 1986 accident, the
timing has led to denials by Ukrainian officials
that safeguards implemented then have in any way,
been compromised.
The second incident, when it occurred, was perhaps
even more surprising than the first. Of all the
internationally renowned scientists involved in
the cleanup of Chernobyl not one would have
expected even the slightest rumbling to occur
within the massive concrete sarcophagus that had
tamed Reactor 4. Not expecting, however, is a far
cry from not occurring and the explosion, when it
shattered the early hours, showed just how shallow
Chernobyls grave of fear was.
If the first explosion saw the end of the Soviet
Union and the cold war, the second would see the
beginnings of something even more terrifying. The
immediate effects of the blast were difficult to
observe, and even more to understand but within
years the Zone around Chernobyl was starting to
attract a group of people convinced that prosperity
lay in the ravaged land. These people, a mixed
bunch by any standards, came to be known as
Stalkers.
26.04.1986
At 1:23am on Saturday, April 26th, a scheduled
test of Reactor 4 in the VI. Lenin Memorial Nuclear
Power Station resulted in a nuclear meltdown
that would contaminate a wide area and produce
a cloud of radioactive fallout blowing across
Ukraine, Belarus and Russia as well as parts of
eastern Eastern and western Western Europe,
Scandinavia, the UK and as far afield as eastern
areas of the US. It was the worst accident in the
history of nuclear power and the social, political
and financial costs were unimaginable. All it took
was a simple operating mistake to collide with a
routine experiment designed to test the emergency
cooling system. These two innocuous events led to
the intense over-heating of the reactor core, the
creation of volatile oxyhydrogen and an explosion
that scattered radioactive materials over a wide
area, igniting everything in its wake.
The areas in the immediate vicinity were subject to
rapid evacuation. Such was the emergency that over
160,000 people all within 30 km of the accident
left without thinking they would never see home
again. Over the years, visitors would remark on the
ghostly presence a city abandoned could have, as
though an entire population were merely in the
next room, waiting to return. In time, the theories
of how such an accident could occur would mutate
beyond reason but for that night and for the weeks
that followed, was told the story of the moment;
a tragic narrative on East/West relations and a
commentary on nuclear power. The word on the lips
of a generation was: Chernobyl.

WEAPONS
Weaponry is an essential part of S.T.A.L.K.E.R gameplay and there is much to choose from whether taken taking them from
dead enemies or bought buying from a trader. Available weapons fall into one of the following categories:
KNIFE
an effective close combat weapon.
PISTOLS
At close range the pistol is accurate if lacking in power. The pistol may be fitted with a
silencer.
SHOTGUNS
A shotgun has enough power to deal with most situations but has limited range and
requires regular reloading.
ASSAULT RIFLES
The stock weapon of most regular army units, the assault rifle category includes, among
others, the Akm 74/2. Assault rifles combine serious power with rapid firing rates and
respectable accuracy. Additionally, some of them come fitted with a grenade launcher,
making them a versatile choice against stronger enemies.
HEAVY
Heavy weapons such as grenade launchers can be used against armored vehicles and
aircraft. Their slow firing rate is offset by immense power.
GRENADES
Grenades can be used against a group of enemies or where you lack a direct line of fire.
SNIPER RIFLES
Sniper rifles are a weapon of extreme precision but are of limited use in close quarter
combat owing to poor firing rates.
ACCURACY
The higher this parameter the easier it is to score a hit,
even at long range. Sniper rifles excel at accuracy, while
shotguns tend to be drastically inaccurate.
HANDLING
Weapons with high handling parameter are easier and
faster to operate.
DAMAGE
Damage inflicted by the weapon is proportional to this
parameter. Weapons with high damage rating tend to have
a low rate of fire.
RATE OF FIRE
The greater this parameter, the shorter the time between
subsequent rounds fired from the weapon. High rate of fire
usually coincides with low accuracy.
CONDITION
Your weapon degrades over time. Youll notice this when
your gun starts jamming and a message appears on the
screen telling you to reload. Press the reload button or
change the ammo type to unjam your weapon. With time,
jamming will occur more and more often so you should
keep a close eye on the condition indicator shown on the
weapons description panel in the inventory window. Once
the indicator drops low, you might want to look for a
replacement gun.
FIRE
Move the cross-hairs over a target and press the fire button
(left mouse button by default) to fire a weapon. You can
also use the zoom mode (right mouse button by default)
to aid you in aiming. One of the critical aspects of fighting
in S.T.A.L.K.E.R is reloading. Reloading your gun takes
precious seconds, so make sure you do it often. You might
not have the time for it when the shooting starts.
FIRING MODES
Different weapon types have different fire modes: single,
short bursts and fully automatic. Depending on the mode of
fire selected, the grouping and density of fire will alter. To
switch to the next firing mode press 0, previous 9.
GRENADES
There are two modes for throwing grenades: normal and
regulated. Left-click to perform a normal throw. Right-click
and hold to perform a regulated throw. In this mode, a
strength throw indicator appears. The higher the scale,
the stronger the throw. Release the right mouse-button to
throw the grenade.
ARMOR AND PROTECTIVE SUITS
It is true that attack is the best defense. But what should
one do when the enemy is the environment itself?
Protection, whether a full environmental suit or a simple
bulletproof vest, should be worn before you venture into
the Zone.
ARTIFACTS
Artifacts can secure your income or grant extraordinary
abilities. Each type of artifact gives you both advantages
and disadvantages so make sure you are familiar with the
artifact beforehand.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R features a number of different ammunition types for each weapon. Some of them are more useful against
armored enemies while, others explode after piercing the target. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with different
ammo types and select the most appropriate one. Each weapon in S.T.A.L.K.E.R is characterized by four parameters:
Accuracy, Handling, Damage and Rate of fire. Depending on your playing style, you might opt for a balance of the four, or
choose a weapon excelling in one of them.

PDA
The PDA is used to organize information and keep track of
contacts and current events. You will also find information
about missions, personal player statistics, general informa
tion about the Faction Wars, as well as the message log.
PDA data is divided into four categories. You can switch
between them by choosing appropriate tabs at the top of
the display.
PDA MAP
Use this function to view the required part of the Zone on an electronic map. Map options
displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen allow you to change the scale and move
to the required part of the map. Map scrolling can also be done by holding the left mouse
button and moving the mouse or using the scrollbars, while the scale can be changed using
the mouse wheel. Each area map contains information about key points, control of which
increases the strength of factions. In addition, mutant group, neutral stalker and enemy
movements are displayed here, along with task completion markers.
PDA FACTION WARS
When participating in the Faction Wars the character will receive tasks, information about
which is entered in the relevant menu item. The symbol in the top left corner of the screen
indicates the stalker faction the character is currently in, while the symbol to the right
shows the enemy faction. Text in the top part of the screen indicates the current combat
objective and where it must be completed. The indicators located just below this area allow
you to compare the combat potential of the factions. Information about current combat
objectives is located in the center while the lower part of the screen contains (from the
top down): indicators that show the number of members of both factions as well as the
resources they have access to.
PDA STATISTICS
This section contains detailed personal character stats, as well as information about his
relations with all of the factions he knows. The top left corner of the screen shows
the players name, appearance, current rank, faction membership and cash. The time the
player has spent in the Zone from the start of the game, the number of tasks received
and completed, enemies killed and cash earned is shown to the left of this. Information
about the characters relations with various stalker factions is displayed below this. These
indicators are affected by the players actions: working together with or fighting members
of the factions.
PDA MESSAGE LOG
This contains detailed information about all dialogs, tasks given and successfully completed,
and rewards received.

To open a dialog, approach a neutral or friendly character and press Use button. Some of
the characters will not talk if the player has a weapon showing so hide it before trying
again. At the bottom of the dialog window there is a Trade button that can be used in
order to switch into the trade mode.
TRADE
To enter the trading screen click the Trade button in the bottom of the dialog window.
The trading screen is divided into three columns: The leftmost column shows your picture,
rank and allegiance, your funds and your inventory. The rightmost column displays the
same information about the person you are trading with. The central column is where
the actual trading takes place. Click on an item to display the description. In addition to
the name of the item, its weight and parameters, you will also see the price (top-right
corner of the panel). To select an item for trading, double-click it. Repeat the procedure
for other items you would like to trade. All selected items are displayed in the lower
section of the central column with items you are trying to sell above, and items you
want to buy below. Note the total value of selected items displayed in the top-right corner
of each panel. If the items you are selling are worth less than what you are buying, you
will have to pay the difference in cash. You may remove items from the central panels by
double-clicking them.
To trade items click the Trade button. To exit the trading screen click Leave.
WEAPON UPGRADES
Each faction base has a dedicated weapon upgrade and modication specialist known as the
technician. Technicians can help you considerably improve your weapon's characteristics, for
example range or stopping power.
GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW
DETECTION OF ANOMALIES
Anomalies are the source of the Zones most coveted treasures: the artifacts. These
often display unusual properties. Some of these properties are benecial, others are
uncomfortable harmful or outright dangerous. For example: the Slug artifact, formed in the
Jellysh anomaly, is a translucent, gelatinous object known to nourish the user, drive out
radiation and improve blood coagulation. At the same time, it makes the user extremely
susceptible to electric, chemical and thermal injury. j y

FRIENDS & FOES
HUMANS
Just like in the outside world, Stalkers are a mixed bunch.
Some are hard-working, honest individuals whilst others
wouldnt hesitate to put a bullet through your head if they
think they can get away with it. You will have the choice to
go solo, help out others or become a member of a faction
with all the benets and constraints this entails. You will
meet various traders, scientists, soldiers, bandits and all
sorts of folk on your travels in the Zone. Some of them
can help you while others will send you to the next world
without a second thought. Choose your friends carefully and
choose your enemies with even greater care: the Faction
Wars are raging!
MUTANTS AND MONSTERS
The Zones contaminated grounds have spawned a
staggering number of mutated life forms, most of them
territorial, aggressive and likely to employ brutal or
sophisticated tactics against intruders. Be on your guard
at all times and eliminate targets quickly. Going hand to
hand with a pack of mutated dogs is the best way to leave
an ugly corpse.
ATTITUDES AND INTERACTION
The attitude of humans and creatures encountered in the
Zone depends on many factors including previous actions
towards them or their allies and the fact that you have
just entered their territory (with or without warning). Your
cross-hair, as well as the icons on the mini-map, indicate
the current attitude of the targets within range. Neutral
and friendly humans react poorly if you keep your weapon
aimed at them. If you want to initiate peaceful contact,
lower your weapon. The cross-hair color will change from
white when not over a target, to green if over a friendly
creature, yellow if the creature is neutral and to red should
the creature be hostile.
The relations between the factions are quite intricate. This
situation is exacerbated by the Faction Wars, a spontaneous
and chaotic conict that recently ared up in the Zone. The
stalker clans, driven by their desire to secure new territories
and mountains of artifacts, which became accessible after
the large emission, have started to destroy each other.
COMBAT INFORMATION AND CROSS-HAIR
S.T.A.L.K.E.R uses a dynamic cross-hair system to provide
information about the World (see Attitudes and interaction)
and targeting conditions. The following factors have a direct
effect on the size of the cross-hair and accuracy of the
weapon.
MOVEMENT
The crosshair becomes larger while accuracy decreases
when the player is moving.
AMMUNITION
The type of ammunition also affects the size of the cross-
hair and weapon accuracy. For instance, armor piercing
ammo used with an assault rie reduces the size of the
cross-hair and improves accuracy.
BURST/AUTO MODE
In burst or auto mode, the cross-hair trembles, changes
size, and accuracy is reduced.
AIMING MODE
When the player is aiming through sights or through the
telescope, the standard cross-hair disappears. The iron
sights or the scopes inbuilt cross-hair is used instead.
MULTIPLAYER
In multiplayer mode, S.T.A.L.K.E.R lets you test your skill against players from all over the world via the Internet or through
Local Area Network (LAN). Up to 32 players can play simultaneously on a variety of maps and modes.
GAME MODES
DEATH MATCH
Its every man for himself. Your task is to kill (frag) more enemies than any of your rivals before the time is up or the frag
limit is reached. In Deathmatch mode the purchasing menu can only be accessed after the players death.
TEAM DEATH MATCH
In this mode the players are split into two teams, each with its own, unique weaponry:
THE FREEDOM FACTION (Stalkers)
Members of this group are armed mainly with ex-USSR
weapons.
MERCENARIES (HEADHUNTERS)
Mercenaries are armed with weapons and equipment used
by NATO armed forces.
In Team Deathmatch, the players team must frag more
enemies than the opposing faction before the time- or frag
limit is reached. Access to the purchasing menu is available
only after a player has been killed.
ARTIFACT HUNT
In this mode the players are also split into two groups
Stalkers and Mercenaries, but the main objective is to
deliver an artifact to the teams base. Teams spawn in two
different locations (their respective bases), situated in the
opposite sectors of the map. Buying is only possible within
ones base. The artifact appears randomly in pre-designed
locations on the map. The team which brings the artifact
to its base scores one point. If the artifact is not picked up
by either team, or if its activated by one of the players, it
disappears for some time and then re-appears in a different
place. Any player can activate the artifact, turning it into a
deadly anomaly which cant be picked up.
CAPTURE THE ARTIFACT
In this mode the players are split into two teams. The main
objective is to capture the enemys artifact while retaining
yours. A team is awarded a point if it manages to steal the
enemy artifact and deliver it to its base, while keeping its
own artifact at its base. The player who returns the artifact
to the base or delivers the enemy artifact to the base is
rewarded. If the artifact ends up in an unreachable location,
it will return to the game after a set period of time.
There is a second type of this mode, which allows your
artifact to be activated. Activating the artifact returns it to
the base and replaces it with an anomaly. To activate the
artifact you must place it in your inventory, select it and
use it. A player cannot have both artifacts at the same time:
he must throw away the enemy artifact and then select and
activate his teams artifact.
In this mode players can purchase early spawns, however
equipment and weapons can only be purchased inside the
base.
Radar display: team mates are shown in green and your
teams artifact is marked with a green symbol.
RANKS
S.T.A.L.K.E.R multiplayer games include an abundance of
equipment, grenades and weapons of different ring rate,
damage and accuracy. In order to use the best equipment,
however, you must have enough money and an appropriate
rank. There are 5 ranks in total. To rise through the ranks
the player can gain experience as follows: Inict damage
to the enemy with an extra bonus for head-shots Perform
efcient actions for the team (only for Artifact Hunt mode)
such as obtaining the artifact rst or carrying artifact to
the base
Weapons are available dependent upon rank and are
assigned as follows (Please note that this may be changed
due to game balance issues):
