STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is proving to be one of the best FPS looter shooters ever made, with thousands of players enjoying their adventures in the exclusion Zone. But many of them are having it a little bit harder to find the best weapon mods, since spotting the best attachments can be like finding a needle in a haystack in this game’s humongous map.

So, here’s a list of the best weapon attachments in the game, and where to find them. From a trusty Pistol Suppressor that will accompany players until the endgame, to one of the most broken side fire weapons in the game, which is easily obtainable if players know where to look for it.

8 Pistol Suppressor

A Trusty Stealth Tool

• Decreases Enemy Detection Radius When Shooting With Pistols
• Slightly Decreases Damage Fall-off Distance
• Compatible Weapons: Deadeye, Encourage, Gambit, Labyrinth IV, PTM, PTM Monolith, Skif’s Pistol

STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is not precisely a Stealth game, but having the Pistol Suppressor changes things considerably. More so when players are low on ammo and want to avoid a direct confrontation with an entire base full of human enemies.

That’s when this Suppressor comes in handy and the best part is that it is compatible with most of the pistols in the game, even the one players keep from the intro mission. Players will find this in the Boiler House POI of the Lesser Zone, inside the chest on the second floor.

7 Assault Rifle Suppressor

A Great Attachment When You Want To Play Commando

• Decreases Enemy Detection Radius When Shooting With Assault Rifles
• Slightly Decreases Damage Fall-off Distance
• Compatible Weapons: Dnipro, AKM-74S, AKM-74U, Grom-S14

Players will want to get this from Llyova Fan, a vendor located in the Chemical Plant region, the second place they will visit in the game after completing the first series of main missions.

This suppressor is compatible with most of the early-game Assault Rifles and provides a significant boost to stealth. It is ideal for attaching to the Valik Lummox’s AKM-74S since it has a scope attached already, and completing it with a Suppressor will result in a powerful long-range weapon for stealthy takedowns.

6 GP-25 Grenade Launcher

One Of The Most Broken Attachments

• Attaches to the Under barrel of the AK weapon line and can be used as a secondary fire weapon
• Shoots VOG-25 and VOG-25R Grenades up to 30 m
• Compatible Weapons: AKM-74S, AKM-74U

The GP-25 Grenade Launcher can be located in the Cement Factory Region, inside the Safe on the second floor of the Intercom Tower. Players will need a passcode to access this loot, which is 030794.

Take note of this code and run to get this powerful attachment, that will allow Skiff to load powerful grenades in the under-barrel of his Assault Rifle. And yes, it is also compatible with Valik Lummox’s AK-47S, so go ahead and give it another boost. Just mind the weight increase.

5 High Capacity AK-74S Magazine

Attach This Mod, See Them Suffer

• Increases the Magazine Size of the AK system weapons by 75%
• Slightly decreases reload animation speed.
• Compatible Weapons: AKM-74S, AKM-74U

Yet another great attachment to the AK-74S, which by now should be weighing around 10 kg with all the attachments it has. Never mind the weight, this magazine extender provides that extra boost the weapon needs to make the most out of all the ammo available for it. It can be found near the Sphere, in the drainage system next to the entrance of the base.

The truth is that since 5.45×39 ammo is the most commonly found in the game, players will want to have a heavily modded AK-74 to cover all their needs during most of the game. So this magazine extender is just what they need to avoid using the slow and unreliable LMGs or the faster but hard-to-handle SMGs, which are also useless in long-distance fights.

4 High Capacity Viper-5 Magazine

Bullets For Everyone! A Great Drum Magazine

• Increases the Magazine Size of the Viper-5 by 75%
• Slightly decreases reload animation speed.
• Compatible Weapons: Viper-5

One of the things that makes the Viper-5 one of the strongest weapons at short distances, is its high fire rate. But the problem is that it only has a few bullets in its magazine. So, how do we fix that? With an extended magazine.

It can be found in the Lesser Zone, in the Radiation Hazard Signs Storage, located in the northeast part of the area. The attachment is hidden inside a duffle bag behind some breakable crates in the parking lot.

3 High Capacity PTM Magazine

The Stalker’s Best Friend

• Increases the Magazine Size of the PTM by 75%
• Slightly decreases reload animation speed.
• Compatible Weapons: PTM, PTM Monolith, Skiff’s Pistol

This extender is the ideal attachment for Skiff’s Pistol since it expands its magazine to the upper limit (13 bullets) and allows players to load more ammo on similar weapons.

There are actually two locations for this attachment, one is in Solder’s office inside the Sphere, and players can take it from the table once they kill him or knock him out. The other one is southwest of the Northern Checkpoint in the Lesser Zone, and players can pick it up from the table of a small Ward base located there.

2 PA0 X2 Scope

The Best Scope For Mid-Range Fights

• Amplifies sight and precision
• Ideal for short and mid-range combat
• Compatible Weapons: Saiga-D12, AS Lavina, Dnipro, Zubr-19

This magnificent x2 Scope is located in the Zaton area, on the rooftop of a building in the Railway Maintenance Facility. Players need to approach the side of the building and climb a ladder to access an open crate with some ammo and the scope inside.

Its most notable feature is that this scope is compatible with various types of weapons from SMGs to Assault Rifles and even the Saiga shotgun. Another of its strong points is that it doesn’t add too much weight to these weapons, only 0.3 kg.

1 High Capacity AR16 System Magazine

With This Magazine, The AR416 Is Finally Useful

• Increases the Magazine Size of the AR System Weapons by 75%
• Slightly decreases reload animation speed.
• Compatible Weapons: AR416, AR416 Monolith, SOFMOD, Unknown Stalker’s AR416

This magazine extender is just what that old AR416 Assault Rifle needs to get that little extra oomph to destroy large groups of enemies without reloading.

It is relatively easy to get, as players need to travel to the Cordon Area southeast of the Lesser Zone and reach the Collapsed Bridge POI. There’s an old train engine there and in the conductor’s seat, there’s a duffle bag with the Magazine Extender waiting to be looted. Just watch out for the gravitational anomaly in the area.
