GSC Game World has released update 1.1 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, which includes important fixes and improvements. The key focus of this patch is the correction of the A-Life simulation system.

• Fixed animation of item throwing by the Burer.
• Improved behavior of NPCs shooting from cover.
• Fixed a bug where NPCs would freeze after the emission ended.
• The price of the “Golden Fish” artifact has been changed to 14,000 coupons.
• The cooldown time for Snork abilities has been increased by 30%.
• The damage of the Gauss gun has been increased.
• Increased the difficulty of battles with Korshunov.
• Increased rewards for completing certain quests.
• Fixed an issue where players would die instantly with almost full radiation.
• Fixed issues where Poltergeist and Burer did not deal damage to thrown objects.
