Gear is everything in STALKER 2. In a grounded and hardcore shooter like this one that's devoid of skill trees, fancy abilities, and zippy movement, one of the only ways you can get a leg up on The Zone's threats is by finding quality gear and implementing it into your loadout. Whether you're up against hostile bands of stalkers, deadly packs of mutants, or lethal fields of anomalies, having good weapons, strong armor, and plenty of ammo and supplies dramatically increases your odds of survival and success.
