Survival tips:
Survival tips:
1. Mutants now move faster, and the player - a little slower. Therefore, attempts to simply run away can end in failure. Be prepared in advance for unexpected encounters with the creatures of the Zone.
2. Pay special attention to stalker equipment in terms of protection from anomalous effects. Artifacts inflict significant anomalous damage on first touch. The type of damage depends on the type of artifact, the strength of the damage depends on the level of the artifact (the cooler the artifact, the more it hits). Be careful - in the absence of the appropriate level of equipment and a set of artifacts on the belt, especially rare artifacts can kill on the spot when you try to pick them up. In addition, in especially severe cases, various anabolic steroids can help, reducing damage from different types of damage for a while.
3. The zone is constantly changing. Old, familiar types of anomalies disappear, and new ones appear, unexplored, and therefore especially dangerous. Be careful and careful - in some cases, even a modern sophisticated detector can malfunction and not work at the most critical moment. Veteran stalkers sometimes like to repeat the old common truth - nothing better than bolts, nuts and pebbles for the bearing of anomalies have not been invented and are unlikely to come up with.

Modifications for PC games are very common. Many gamers who have a certain understanding of programming want to make their own amendments to the game, make it more interesting, exciting, add content that they think is necessary. Sometimes this is done exclusively for yourself, in order to enjoy it. But there are times when custom modifications become known all over the Internet, other gamers start downloading them, they write about them on the net. Naturally, there are only a few such mods, but the quality of these few projects is actually not inferior to the original itself. The same thing happened with the custom Death Contrary. "The passage of this project turned out to be so exciting that it received universal recognition, and now many players enjoy the creativity not of the game developers, but of fellow gamers with great pleasure. Therefore, this mod is worth taking a closer look at ...
Base for modification
As you know, any mod is based on something. In this case, the game "Stalker. Call of Pripyat" served as a basis for creating something new. Modification "Stalker. Death Contrary", the passage of which will take you much less time than the original, is very different from the initial version. Therefore, first you should pay attention to exactly how the original Stalker game looked like. Like the rest of the games, Call of Pripyat is a stealth shooter with RPG elements. You will have to play the role of one of the stalkers who survived in the post-apocalyptic world, where you can meet mutants and various anomalies at every step. The emphasis in this game is on finding various objects, finding hiding places, as well as on silent movement and attempts to avoid conflicts. The fact is that any enemy here is as strong as you are, so it is better to bypass the enemy than to get involved in every battle, lose health and precious ammunition. A long storyline is based on completing tasks that various characters in the game give you. As you can see, this is an excellent ground for creating such a mod as "Stalker. Contrary Death". The game takes a couple of dozen hours to complete, but it was the mod that made it shorter, although this does not mean that the project has become more accessible to the masses.
Its own storyline
Naturally, the mod has its own characteristics, which make it original, unique and unlike the original. The most important feature is the completely redesigned campaign. The original plot of "Call of Pripyat" was cleverly cut from the game "Stalker. Death Contrary". The passage now has a completely different look and character. The creators of the modification added their own campaign, in which events take place that have nothing to do with the initial version. This is a really impressive fan job, as in most cases it happens that modifications only add some necessary little things. A storyline has also been introduced here, as well as additional side quests. Passing the game "Stalker. Death Contrary" will be an unforgettable pastime for you, so all fans of the series are strongly encouraged to try this mod.
Other features of Death Defying
No one should doubt that this modification has added far more than just a new plot. Passage of the game "Stalker. Death Contrary" will now be even more interesting, since the creators of the mod have completely reworked the weapon system, making it more balanced. Also, the impact was exerted on the system of storing items in hiding places. Other aspects of the game were also redesigned, and this mod actually appeared to users as a separate full-fledged game. It is worth noting that over time, the developers of the modification continued their activities and released the next part - "Stalker. Death in spite of. Acolyte". Passing the first part does not lead you to a logical conclusion, but to the expectation of continuation. But first things first.
The beginning of the passage
So, you first need to go through the first part of the game, which is called "In the middle of the hell", in order to then be able to play "Stalker. Death Contrary. Acolyte". The passage will not take you much time, but at the same time it will be full of a variety of exciting events that will keep you on your toes until the very end. The game begins with the location of the sawmill, which is located in the Zaton zone, where the main part of the game will take place. It makes no sense to list all the movements from one quest to another - it is better to tell about the main difficult moments so that you can quickly get to the game "Stalker. Death in spite of 2". The passage will consist of small tasks, each of which you will need to take from a specific character, complete it, and then return to the same character for a reward so that the next storyline quest becomes active.
First story quests
Your first task in the game will be to find a dead radio operator - of course, from the very beginning, no one will bother you. You just need to follow the signal of the beacon, which will lead you to the corpse - and you need to search it in order to advance in the story of the game "Stalker. Death in spite of". Walkthrough, guide, tips - all this you can use to succeed, but it is best to act on your own, contact third-party sources only if absolutely necessary. Next, you will need to go in search of your commander, who, unlike the radio operator, may still be alive. Follow the signal, and you will find a building with hiding places - in them you will come across a large number of items that are recommended not to be sold, but kept. They can come in handy later in the story, but getting them again will not be so easy. Your commander, of course, is alive, but, unfortunately, he will not live long. Before his death, he talks about the cache, in which you can also find a lot of useful things for yourself and for the group. This concludes your first storyline of the game "Stalker. Death Contrary". The passage, the tools for which you always have at hand, is not difficult yet, but this is only the beginning. Further quests will be more difficult.
Meeting with Achilles
When you deal with the commander's affairs, you will be returned to field work - get assignments to find Achilles, an undercover agent. As you can see, there is no connection with the original game "Stalker" - the "Death Against" mod, the passage of which, however, causes no less positive emotions, is based on the game engine, but includes completely different tasks. So, the meeting with Achilles ends with a new assignment - a trip to the city of Skadovsk, where you will need to meet two important people. Before that, go to the rally point and prepare for the worst. In the agreed place you can find only the corpses of all members of the group, but there is no time to grieve - now you are on your own, go to Skadovsk. These are the plot twists that the game "Stalker. Contrary to Death" will give you more than once. The full walkthrough does not take much time, but the creators managed to put a lot of interesting content into it.
Events in Skadovsk
It is in this city that the main events begin to develop - you will learn about the O-Consciousness project and begin an investigation into this case, which will carry you further. You will need to go to secret laboratories to get as much information as possible about this project. But at the same time, do not forget that Skadovsk is a big city, and there you can talk to various people. And some of them may give you side quests that you definitely shouldn't give up. But be careful - some of them are not so simple. There is, for example, a quest in which you need to solve a full-fledged problem in chemistry in order to succeed. And in another task, if you cannot unnoticeably eliminate the target, they will play one small and unpleasant game with you - they will take away all your equipment and drop off at the edge of the location with an explosive chip in your head. You will have a couple of minutes to get to the city and neutralize the chip, otherwise your head will explode. At the same time, it is worth remembering that along the way you may well meet mutants in large quantities, so you should not forget about caution even with a chip in your head. By the way, the shorter the time before the explosion, the greater its effect on the brain, and your vision will begin to blur, which will further complicate the task. As you can see, not all quests are simple and commonplace, they make the passage very difficult. "Stalker ZP. Death Contrary" is a rather difficult modification, so you shouldn't think that it will be an easy walk.
Cave hike
The next quest directs you directly to the cave, which is located under the Burnt Farm. Naturally, there will be a cache there, but you will need to find the keys to it, so not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance.
Battle with Chimera
If you think that you will be able to beat the game in stealth mode, then you are wrong. Even according to the plot, you will come across a task in which you will need to fight your way through crowds of mutants in order to then fight the boss - a huge Chimera. Defeating her is difficult, but quite possible, so try.
Corsair's Treatment
Corsair - the character who gave you the Chimera quest was wounded while you were completing it. He refuses to be treated by a local doctor, so he has to return to Skadovsk to ask for help from the Carver, whom the Corsair trusts. But the doctor turns out to be unconscious and refuses to come to help. After that, a very interesting mini-game begins - you need to save the Corsair using the device that the Carver gave you. This is a very difficult task that you will have to tinker with. But if you don't feel like it, you can try to let the Corsair die. On his corpse, you will find a couple of very useful things, so it's not all bad.
Final task
In the last task, you will need to destroy one of the Sin squads, it is quite possible to cope with this, but the main recommendation is not to get too close. It is best to lead the battle from a distance and keep it as long as possible. Do not try to avoid the PSI strike, because it will hook you anyway - Noah will save you, who will reveal several secrets that prepare the player for the sequel.
