Next, you have a quick explanation of artifacts and anomalies.
Don't touch the water until you have good radiation resistance / anti-rad drugs to spare. Just setting foot in the water will basically poison you, the level of damage increasing as you get more heavily irradiated, and only stopping when you take anti-rad drugs / drink a lot of vodka. Most water in the game, including the swamp area, is heavily irradiated. I'll explain in detail a bit later, but let's just say:Ī) Shotguns for mutants, rifles / submachine guns for humans.ī) You won't find a lot of AK bullets in the swamps, so save it for the toughest fights. You can't meaningfully interact with people in the camp until you complete your tutorial mission, so let's have a quick walkthrough:įirst of all, unequip your AK and use the shotgun. The game starts with you in the middle of the Clear Sky camp, drowning in a sea of weird map icons, most of them with functions that are new to someone who played SoC. The most important information is probably at the start (new mechanics and basic gameplay tips) and the end (how to make it through Limansk with your sanity intact). Read before you play and follow sound advice. Heavily inspired by Gopher's playthrough of Clear Sky - an LP in which someone who successfully completed Shadow of Chernobyl found himself utterly lost and confused by CS, and refused to experiment or take advice until he abandoned the game on the very last level. Also, I assume you're playing on Veteran / Master, which will force you to play smart / min-max, and haven't modded the game with anything that changes it more than CS Complete.
This guide rather assumes that you've played through Shadow of Chernobyl (arguably the superior game, and a lot of things in the prequel won't make any sense if you haven't played SoC), so I'll mostly be explaining things that are new to CS. This particular guide combines that with some walkthrough elements and info about the faction war. Obscure mechanics, weird builds, frustrating stuff that you probably wouldn't be able to figure out on your own beforehand. I have a lot of "before I play" guides that - as promised - try to give you exactly the sort of information I wish I knew before I played the game.
