STALKER 2's new Patch 1.3 update has arrived with 1,200+ notes, but its biggest problem still isn't fixed

STALKER 2.

In keeping with the studio's monthly update cadence for its open-world survival shooter STALKER 2, developer GSC Game World has now released Patch 1.3 for the game. The update follows February's large Patch 1.2, and like that patch, this one brings well over 1,000 fixes, improvements, and tweaks to the Xbox and Windows PC exclusive title.

In total, Patch 1.3 features 1,200+ notes (check the section at the bottom of this article for a list), including improvements to mutant movement animations that make them smoother and more readable, tweaks to make their combat behaviors more consistent, the addition of new contextually chosen death screens so you don't always have to look at that ugly bloodsucker face, and over 400 fixes for main and side quests. On top of that, GSC has adjusted the exceedingly rare archiartifacts with some small nerfs and/or buffs and has also improved performance by resolving numerous technical issues.
