S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Player Discovers a Quick Way to Make Money

Players have been voicing frustration over the harsh in-game economy in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. Weapon repairs can cost a fortune, and fixing armor is even rarer luxury. In such cases, bugs come to the rescue—one Reddit user has already found a way to get rich quickly.

The exploit occurs during trading with NPCs. Players need to move items into the sell window, right-click on any item there, hover over the «Remove» button, and then cancel the action. For unknown reasons, the sale price skyrockets.

For many players, this glitch has been a lifesaver. «Thanks, I can finally repair my shit now,» wrote user DegenerateDoki.

The bug may be patched in the next update. Previously, GSC Game World promised to improve the A-Life simulation system.
