Major Update 1.5 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is slated to drop in the second half of June. A GSC Game World staffer revealed the news in the game's official Discord community.

The upcoming update is packed with goodies, including two new weapon types (a pistol and a rifle), loot drops from mutants, shader compilation skipping, an expanded stash for the protagonist, a beta version of modding tools, and more. The update is also expected to bring improvements to the A-Life system, making NPC and mutant behavior more realistic.
