Best Ultimate Edition Start

This will allow you to obtain most of the items for the carrion hunt at the beginning and in the past tutorial. This is nothing more than a glorified save starter file. Later I plan to make a new mod that will automatically add items to the stash in the new game, so it will not be a save file.

ULTIMATE EDITION REQUIRED

This gives you most of the items for the carrion hunt at the beginning and after passing the tutorial. This is nothing more than a glorified save starter file. Later I plan to make a new mod that will automatically add items from the new game to your cache, so it will not be a save file. So consider that mod is not supported until I get all the IDs of the items to add them and then its final version.

Instructions

Step 1: Turn off steam cloud sync for saves

Step 2: Back up your existing save files and save to Save Slot 3, if it does not already exist.

Step 2a. steam saves directory - %localappdata%\Stalker2\Saved\STEAM\SaveGames\Data I don't know for gog, ect. fuck epic games.

Step 3: Upload and/or replace the existing save files from Slot 3 with this one to get most weapons and armor from ultimate edition and lesser edition into your stash and start at an old Ukrainian gay bar in the wilderness, bypassing the tutorial. You also start with quality gear and 75 thousand coupons.

There were no major quests/side tasks, except the tutorial and the mandatory side quest where the gangsters attack the stalker on the way to the village, and talking to a guy near the bar that points you at the merchants.

Some weapons are not included because I could not find the IDs of the items.

The following items are not included:

-shotgun "Lullaby".

If I forget anything else, let me know.

I used console commands to get things done, and I did it as a quicker start to the game, and without having to do a deadly fall hunt every time I make a new save. I paid for the edition and it was a free bonus to the edition, but I won't actively add it if it's not.
