The popularity of the STALKER series in terms of release of modifications can be compared with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The third part of the franchise, Call of Pripyat, was released almost ten years ago, and users continue to create content for it. Recently, the Infinite Art team presented their creation called Ray of Hope. This mod adds multiplayer to STALKER: Call of Pripyat, as well as a lot of new content.
The developers posted a ten-minute gameplay demonstration on the Web. It shows joint trips around the Zone in the company of several people. Users will be able to join teams to complete tasks. Enthusiasts have also tightened up the graphics component - the textures look a little better. The video shows different regions, including locations with high radiation, where the search for artifacts takes place.
The video shows a wandering anomaly, shootouts with mutants and humans, collecting items, using a dosimeter to determine the level of radiation. The combat system has become a little more realistic: there is no sight on the screen, the weapon has a pronounced recoil. The Ray of Hope mod includes a new plot twist that tells about the events in the Zone after Operation Fairway. Among other features of the creation of Infinite Art, it should be noted the ability to unite in clans and the function of robbing other stalkers. Now the modification is in a state of closed beta testing, the release date is not reported.
