S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (series): Difference between revisions

* [[Death or Glory Attack]]: In-universe, going into the Zone at all is this. An aspiring artifact hunter will either end up rich beyond his wildest dreams, or killed horrifically. Or [[Fate Worse Than Death|worse]].

* [[Demonic Spiders]]: In-Universe: The PDA explicitly lists blind dogs (and by extension, pseudodogs) as deadly to even the most experienced Stalkers, as they are fast, small (compared to humans), slightly stealthy, and most importantly, '''hunt in packs'''. Then there's the Controllers, which will because of the [[Interface Screw]] that comes with their psychic attack likely kill you if they manage to score a single hit, the Burers, who generally start their assault by telekinetically throwing your gun halfway across the map before pummelling you to death with heavy objects and telekinetic blasts, the Bloodsuckers, who'll turn invisible as soon as they spot you and perform hit and run attacks while circling your position or just tear you to shreds immediately in melee combat. Let's just say [[Death World|everything and everyone in the Zone]] is this to some degree.

* [[Disc One Nuke]]: Every few games, the store in the first town of ''Shadow of Chernobyl'' carries an extremely powerful assault rifle that uses a very common caliber. There's also a very useful armor nearby. They become obsolete once you get past the first few areas, though.

** To be more specific, Barin's Tunder 5.45mm is sold by Sidorovich in the early game (before you speak to Wolf and after you've rescued Nimble) for 20,000 RU. Needless to say, it's highly unlikely you'll get this amount in time. You'd need to gather all of the loot in the first map and maybe some of the second to amass the amount needed. However, it's a '''very''' useful gun in the early game, as it is an mid to endgame gun chambered for an ammo type common in the early game.
