STALKER 2 came out last week and we’ve already gotten some truly amazing mods for it. Today, we bring you a mod that adds a Parkour-like climbing system to the game. Thanks to this, players will have access to places that were previously inaccessible. As such, it’s a must-have mod, at least in my opinion.
Going into more details, the Ledge Grabbing Mod allows Skif to to mantle onto anything just above head height. This modded mantling system improves functionality and QoL. It will also allow for more vertical gameplay opportunities and environment traversal.
For instance, you can now climb to higher places to avoid mutants. You can also climb trucks and fences so that you can get to stashes that were previously inaccessible.
Here’s a good example. In the Rookie Village, there is a hidden stash right outside the town. This stash is on a rooftop inside a house, and there is a truck outside the house. So, normally, you’d assume that you’d be able to climb the truck. The front of the truck is at a similar height to the fences that Skiff can climb. And while you can climb the fences, you cannot climb the truck. I don’t know if this is a bug or not. What I know is that there is no other way to get to the rooftop (no ladders or crates to climb, no hidden passage from inside the house, nothing). So, without the mod, you cannot climb to the rooftop of that house. With this mod, you can finally climb the truck and get to the stash.
What’s also interesting here is that this mod comes in two variations. The default version allows Skif to climb all objects that are as high as himself. The second version allows you to climb objects that are a little lower than your head height. Both of them also come with Melee and jump Stamina reduction versions.
In short, this is a must-have mod for STALKER 2. At least in my opinion. So, go ahead and download it from this link.
Speaking of STALKER 2, I also suggest taking a look at these other mods for it. Let’s start with the Draw Distance Mod. This mod will reduce the pop-ins of trees and vegetation. However, it comes with a pretty big performance hit. On my NVIDIA RTX 4090, I got a 10-20FPS performance hit. So, use it only if you have a high-end GPU.
Then we have this mod that attempts to restore most of the online A-Life functionality. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than the vanilla version. This is a must until GSC GameWorld fixes A-Life 2.0. Finally, you can download a mod that will remove the inventory carry/weight limit. I’m not a fan of this last mod but hey, some of you may like it.
For what it’s worth, the devs have already released two patches. The first patch had over 650 fixes, whereas the second one focused on quest blockers. Sadly, these patches do not address any of the aforementioned issues. The good news here is that these mods are compatible with the game’s latest version. As such, you will be able to use them without experiencing any conflicts.
Have fun and stay tuned for more!
