S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky is a prequel to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl. After the Great Emission, the largest anomalous energy blowout since the Second Incident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, the Zone is reshaped. You play as Scar, a mercenary investigating the Emission’s cause and seeking to prevent future cataclysms. His actions place him in Strelok’s fate and reveal more of the original story and the Zone’s past.

The Zone’s factions

As anomalous activity reaches its maximum, outbursts shake the unstable Zone and its changing map disrupts the balance of power. Factions fight over new territories, artifact fields and spheres of influence. You can join a faction and drive its opponents out over the Cordon, or work for all the factions as a mercenary. Your actions can affect the balance of power and the factions’ influence.

Explore new paths

Once-safe routes are gone: anomaly fields cover familiar paths, while stalkers and entire expeditions disappear or become trapped. Territories lost since the Zone appeared are opening up, and you explore the newly accessible areas as a pioneer. New locations include the Swamps, Red Forest, Limansk and Abandoned Hospital, each with stories and tasks. You can also visit familiar places as they were before the original game and witness events that shaped the Zone.

Equipment and artifacts

The game adds weapons and equipment including the HPSS-1m, hunting rifle and RP-74. Technicians can upgrade and customize weapons and armor through an advanced upgrade system. A dozen new anomalies and artifacts accompany a new artifact-hunting system that uses detectors.

Other changes

The game also features improved graphics, interface and AI.
