This is why you need to preserve your energy as well as regain your stamina every once in a while.

To make the most out of your gameplay, we have listed a few tips on how you can preserve and regain your stamina in Stalker 2.

Tips on increasing and maintaining stamina in Stalker 2

As it is a survival FPS game, it is essential to load up on inventory that will come in handy during the gameplay. However, make sure to keep only the most important things in your bag. Even though you can load up to 80 kgs/ 176 lbs of weight, do keep in mind that the heavier your bag is, the slower your movements will be. Moreover, if you carry a heavier load, it will use more of your stamina and stamina regeneration will also be slower.

A meter indicates the weight you carry in Stalker 2. If the meter is green, it means you have a light load, which is fine for long-term travelling. However, if the meter is yellow or red, you should take a look at your inventory and decide what to leave behind. The best strategy is to keep the weight under 50 kgs/ 110 lbs.

Another great help in increasing stamina can be drinking water and energy drinks. Make sure to keep them in your quick access slot so you can get a drink during an enemy battle like during the battle with Bloodsucker or while roaming around. Water can help reduce hunger and restore a little stamina. Energy drinks, on the other hand, can slightly increase hunger, but can also restore a lot of your stamina.

Another way to regain stamina in the game is by finding an artefact called Battery. It can be found near the electric anomaly fields. It can increase your stamina significantly but will also cause minor radiation exposure.
