STALKER SOC, or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl, is a beloved game that has captured the hearts of many gamers around the world. As with any game, modding plays a crucial role in enhancing the gaming experience. In this article, we'll delve into some mods that allow for greater flexibility and customization in the game.

Making Shotguns and MP5 "Secondary"

One common request from STALKER SOC players is the ability to make certain weapons secondary, similar to how it works in other games like Counter-Strike: Source (CoP). This allows players to quickly switch between primary and secondary weapons without having to manually switch between them.

To achieve this, you'll need a mod that can modify the game's SoC files. One such mod is the "Making Shotguns and MP5 'Secondary'" mod, which allows you to assign any weapon as your secondary weapon. This means you can keep your primary weapon as is and have another weapon available for quick switching.

The Faction War's Weapon Swapper 1.1

Another great mod for STALKER SOC players is The Faction War's Weapon Swapper 1.1. This mod allows you to swap weapons in-game, making it easier to adapt to different situations. It also includes additional features like the ability to purchase slotted weapons from traders.

The author of this mod, v1ld, has done an excellent job in updating and maintaining the mod, with over 852 comments and feedback from players. This shows that the mod is well-tested and reliable, making it a great addition to any STALKER SOC player's arsenal.

Porting Mods for Autumn Aurora 2

In recent years, there have been some efforts to port mods from The Faction War's Weapon Swapper series to Autumn Aurora 2 (AA2). This includes the work of davoker, who has expressed interest in porting the mod to AA2. However, it seems that this mod is still awaiting official release for AA2.

Tips and Tricks

When dealing with mods, it's essential to understand the game's SoC files and how they interact with the game. As warcatt00 mentions in his original post, sometimes a simple fix can resolve issues with mods. Be patient, and don't be afraid to try out different combinations of mods to find what works best for you.

****, STALKER SOC modding offers a vast array of possibilities for customization and enhancement. Whether you're looking to make certain weapons secondary or swap between weapons in-game, there are plenty of great mods available that can help you achieve your goals.

Remember to always be patient and willing to learn when working with mods. With the right combination of knowledge and persistence, you can unlock new gameplay experiences and enhance your overall STALKER SOC experience.
