https://video.diachron.net/videos/watch/fba36029-69a2-488d-9a40-17c1c48f6e34 We return to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl with the long-awaited Update 2.0. The Zone involves a lot less constant combat, and it shows. It's now much more focused on exploration — this really makes the game more enjoyable, especially when ammunition is so scarce from looting corpses. We finish looting Lab X-18 and then turn the Emitter in to the safe, lying to Diode that we let its rightful owner take it. We then start the Cost of Hope DLC and complete its first part. Even though we're in mega early-game, we managed to survive the Ion Forest and its dangers. Next stream, we will finally go to the Wild Island.
