What are the Stalker 2 weapons? It has now been confirmed there are 35 different weapons in Stalker 2, and each weapon can be modified with attachments and upgrades to make them feel distinctly different.
We’ve managed to list a fair few guns ahead of the Stalker 2 release date, thanks to eagle-eyed fans scouring several gameplay trailers, and a developer deep dive that explores different stages of the game. Though some of these guns aren’t confirmed yet and are only spotted in gameplay, here’s a list of every Stalker 2 weapon we’ve seen in the game so far, broken down into categories.
Stalker 2 weapons
Initially, you’ll be scrounging for whatever you can get your hands on – the wasteland is a dangerous place, and wandering without a way to defend yourself is a death sentence. Thankfully, once you’ve found your feet, you’ll have a lot of Stalker 2 weapons to choose from.
Pistols
Pistols can be a reliable sidearm, but they aren’t something you’ll want to depend on when it comes to the tougher enemies that Stalker 2 will throw at you.
- HK USP Tactical
- Makarov PM
- APS
SMGs
For close-quarters fights, SMGs are arguably the most devastating type of gun you can have in your arsenal. They put a lot of lead downrange in no time at all – just don’t expect much at range.
- HK MP5
- OTs-02 Kiparis
- PP-19 Bizon
- MAC-10
Shotguns
Shotguns can be devastating up close; excellent for taking out local wildlife, or anything remotely human if they decide to cross your path.
- TOZ-34
- Saiga-12K
- Sawed-off double-barreled shotgun
Assault Rifles
The jack of all trades Stalker 2 gun, assault rifles can be effective up close and at range, making them a staple for anyone who braves the outside. Whether you use these powerful firearms as a makeshift marksman rifle or outfit them for CQB, you shouldn’t leave home without one.
- AK-74
- AKS-74
- AKS-74U
- AS Val
- HK G36
- Malyuk
- HK416
- M14
- OTs-14-4A Groza
Sniper Rifles
With unparalleled range and damage, sniper rifles are a Stalker’s best friend if they want to stay out of danger – useful for both scouting an area and also eliminating any inhabitants of said area.
- VSS Vintorez
- SVD
Machine Guns
Machine guns are for those who want to put as many rounds in a general direction as humanely possible. Not especially accurate, but in terms of raw power, the machine gun is king.
- PKP Pecheneg
Launchers
Launchers are the most efficient way of delivering an explosive at a safe distance. Primarily used to take down vehicles and structures, there’s not reason you couldn’t utilize these destructive armaments on something a little more… fleshy.
- GP-25
- RPG-7
Grenades
Grenades should be a staple of any Stalker’s pack – best used to clear small spaces and any nests that you find on your travels.
- F-1
- RGD-5
