Ballistics, TTK & Armor Penetration Calculator

Q: How do Lead Containers work on protective suits in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2?

Lead Containers completely negate the positive radiation emission of the artifact placed inside that specific slot. Upgrading your suit at technicians like Cardan allows you to equip high-tier artifacts without suffering radiation sickness.

Simulate realistic kinetic velocity decay, bullet drop, multi-tier armor penetration (Tier 0–5), hit zones, and time-to-kill (TTK) across human stalkers and mutated horrors in the Zone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Zone Exploration & Optimization FAQs

How do Lead Containers work on protective suits?

Lead Containers negate 100% of the radiation output emitted by the artifact placed inside that specific slot. Upgrading your suit at technicians like Cardan allows you to equip high-tier artifacts without suffering radiation sickness.

What is the best way to earn Coupons fast post-Emission?

Immediately after an Emission blowout ends, rush to central high-tier anomalies in Yaniv Quarry or Pripyat Prometheus Theater with a Veles or Svarog detector. Sell all harvested pristine artifacts to Professor Sakharov at Yantar for a +25% payout bonus.

How does armor penetration tiering work against Monolith Exoskeletons?

Monolith Crusaders equip Tier 5 titanium plate exoskeletons. Firing standard FMJ 5.45mm rounds inflicts a heavy -70% deflection penalty. Always chamber 9x39mm SP-6 AP, 7.62x54mm AP 7N13, or hypersonic 2mm Gauss slugs to pierce their armor.

How can I carry heavy loot without becoming overencumbered?

Equip gravitational artifacts such as Gravi (+18kg) or Goldfish (+28kg), upgrade to an Exoskeleton frame (+35kg carry bonus), and consume Energy Drinks to counter stamina drain during emergency extract sprints.
