Explore the world of Submachine Guns in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Learn about their stats, effects, and how to find them to dominate the Zone.
Submachine Guns (SMGs) are a versatile class of firearms in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, offering a balance of firepower, rate of fire, and portability. They are particularly effective in close-to-medium range engagements, making them a popular choice for many stalkers navigating the Zone.
This guide provides an overview of the submachine guns available in the game, detailing their characteristics and potential uses.
| Weapon | Description | Effects |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | A common artifact found in electro anomalies. The high-frequency alternating current glowing within the Battery does not cause burns upon contact. | Endurance: Weak Radiation: Weak |
| Broken Rock | An uncommon artifact found in gravitational anomalies. In the absence of an observer, the artifact cannot be measured by any instruments. | Physical Protection: Medium Radiation: Strong |
| Bubble | A common artifact found in acid anomalies. The Bubble's transparent membrance conceals a substance that resembles the contents of the Fruit Punch anomaly. | Radio Protection: Medium |
| Cavity | A common artifact found in thermal anomalies. Slightly accelerates the growth of nearby plants. | Bleeding Resistance: Weak Weight Effect: Weak Radiation: Weak |
| Chocolate Bar | A common artifact found in electro anomalies. Trying to separate the plates causes them to collapse back into their original shape at speeds exceeding 700 feet per second. | Electrical Protection: Weak Radiation: Weak |
| Ciliate | An uncommon artifact found in chemical anomalies. Any damage to the outer membrane of the artifact results in a reduction in the effectiveness of its practical properties. | Chemical Protection: Medium Radiation: Medium |
| Compass | A legendary artifact found in gravitational anomalies. Stalkers hold the belief that whoever discovers and holds onto the Compass will gain the ability to safely navigate the Zone's most treacherous areas. | Physical Protection: Maximum Radiation: Maximum |
| Crest | A rare artfiact found in electro anomalies. Despite their apparent fragility, the spikes on the Crest are hard enough to scratch diamond. | Endurance: Strong Radiation: Strong |
| Crown | An uncommon artifact found in gravitational anomalies. Due to its resemblance to a piece of jewelry, the Crown fetches a premium price on the Mainland's black markets. | Endurance: Weak Physical Protection: Weak Radiation: Medium |
| Crust | A common artifact found in acid anomalies. Despite its unsightly appearance, the Crust is utilized in wastewater treatment owing to its ability to decompose a wide range of organic pollutants. | Chemical Protection: Weak Radiation: Weak |
| Crystal | A common artifact found in thermal anomalies. What seems to be the coloring of the artifact is, in fact, flames burning inside the crystal. | Thermal Protection: Weak Radiation: Weak |
| Crystal Thorn | A common artifact found in acid anomalies. Composed of an anomalously hard material unknown to science, with spikes varying in thickness from 0.3 millimeters to just a few molecules. | Radio Protection: Weak |
| Dead Sponge | An uncommon artifact found in thermal anomalies. Powdered Dead Sponge used to be sought after by practitioners of alternative medicine on the Mainland. The remedy's popularity waned following a series of deaths among its users. | Bleeding Resistance: Medium Radiation: Medium |
| Devil's Mushroom | A rare artifact found in acid anomalies. Ingesting fragments of the artifact leads to symptoms similar to acute food poisoning, with a mortality rate changing from 60% to 90%. | Chemical Protection: Strong Radiation: Strong |
| Droplets | A common artifact found in thermal anomalies. When subjected to a temperature of absolute zero, the surface of the Droplets coalesces into an opaque black film. It dissolves as the temperature increases. | Thermal Protection: Weak Radiation: Weak |
| Eye | A common artifact found in thermal anomalies. Some stalkers believe that the artifact's "pupil" reacts to movement, but this claim remains unconfirmed by experiments. | Thermal Protection: Weak Radiation: Weak |
| Fireball | A common artifact found in electro anomalies. The artifact's surface is covered in a layer of soot, which is why it is often mistaken for a piece of coal. | Electrical Protection: Weak Radiation: Weak |
