STALCRAFT: X Patch Notes (3rd June 2026)
STALCRAFT: X's June 3 update brings sweeping economic changes to the Act and Season systems, new summer weather, and a fresh legendary pistol.
Summer has arrived in the Zone. The 3rd June patch rolls out the Anticyclone season alongside some of the most substantial economic rework the game has seen in a while, and if you've had opinions about how Tickets and Season Pass rewards have been handled, this update has answers.
The biggest shift is to the Act Ticket system. Random Caskets are gone, replaced with a flat 2,000 Tickets per season for hitting 400 Season Pass levels, totalling 8,000 across the full Act. Legendary gear can no longer be bought outright for 6,500 Tickets either; you're now collecting 6-8 parts plus barter resources and rubles. Removing the direct purchase option will frustrate some players, but cutting the RNG out of the Ticket income is a fair trade. The new ability to exchange legendary gear parts within the same Act is also a useful quality-of-life addition.
Elsewhere, season currency consumable values have been tripled or more across the board, gear sell prices have been significantly bumped, and a new legendary pistol, the CR-72, joins the Act III Ticket shop. The Swamps are getting revitalised and 3D faces are in. Keep an eye on the barter recipe changes for legendary gear, since the rubles and material costs have shifted considerably.
Full Patch Notes
▲ Buff▼ Nerf✓ Fix◆ TweakOver the past year, the weather has remained largely unchanged, but new winds have begun to blow, bringing change to the Zone. Down South, everyone’s talking about the new contingent of foreign troops. Meanwhile, all the factions in Forge are keeping a wary eye on the SSPP and its new representatives, with a sense of unease as they recall last summer. Dark clouds are gathering over the CEZ, and every stalker is wondering whether the fragile balance achieved after the Defence of the Perimeter can be maintained.

Changes to the Act III Ticket system
Legendary gear in the shop
Removed the offer to purchase the legendary gear for 6 500 Tickets.
You can obtain legendary gear by collecting 6-8 parts, barter resources and rubles.
Changes to the barter recipes for Legendary gear
Before
| Now | Number of pieces of gear | Rubles | Substance | Red Fern | Remains of a Psy-Tracker | Gamma Data Fragment | Quantum Battery | Anomalous Serum |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 8 | 0 | - | - | - | - | - | 0 |
| 2 | 7 | 30kk | 5500 | 4500 | 3500 | 2000 | 2500 | 25 |
| 3 | 6 | 60kk | 11000 | 9000 | 7000 | 4000 | 5000 | 50 |
After
| Now | Number of pieces of gear | Rubles | Substance | Red Fern | Remains of a Psy-Tracker | Gamma Data Fragment | Quantum Battery | Anomalous Serum |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 8 | 15kk | - | - | - | - | - | 25 |
| 2 | 7 | 50kk | 4000 | 3000 | 2500 | 2000 | 2000 | 75 |
| 3 | 6 | 100kk | 8000 | 6000 | 5000 | 4000 | 4000 | 150 |
Sources of Tickets
Season Pass is still the main source of income. Removed the element of chance in the form of Caskets. Players will now receive 2000 Tickets per season for completing 400 levels whilst holding an active Season Pass. Consequently, you can earn 8000 Tickets for the entire Act. However, this Act will also feature various activities where you can earn extra Tickets.
Activities will be divided into two types:
- For anyone interested, with simpler gameplay but fewer Tickets. They take place in autumn and spring.
- For those who aren't looking for the easy way out, with plenty of Tickets. They take place in winter and summer.
The first event of this kind is already planned for this autumn!
Exchange of parts for legendary gear
You can now trade parts of legendary gear that appeared in the same Act. You can now exchange legendary gear pieces obtained in the same Act. To do so, right-click the piece and select Transofrm.
For example:
- Parts of the armour Albatross Heavy Assault Armored Exoskeleton suit and parts of the Gauss rifle can be swapped for one another.
- Parts of the Chitin backpack and parts of the ZIVCAS M2-C armour suit are replaceable.
In other words, you can swap one item for another from the same Act in which the gear first appeared in the Ticket Shop.
Ticket shop
In Act III, we will return master items in exchange for Act I Tickets, and we will also keep the offers from Act II.
In addition, new items will be added to the shop’s range during the Act.
Consequently, the range of products available at the Ticket shop will not change, but will simply be expanded to include new items.
Changes in prices of Ticket shop
In Act III, a new pricing policy for master gear will be applied using Tickets:
- Containers will not change in price and will cost 1500;
- Melee weapons — 1000;
- Sights — 500.
Selling gear for a third of its cost
Added the ability to sell master gear to the Fence for Tickets at a third of its full price.
An item can only be returned within the Act in which it was purchased.
New legendary pistol
The latest addition to the Act III Ticket shop is the legendary CR-72.
It can be obtained the same way as other legendary gear for Act Tickets, using 6/7/8 parts along with barter and rubles.
Attention!
The current Act Tickets system will not change significantly throughout the Act. However, new offers with Master rank gear may still be added to Act Ticket shop.
Changes that do not affect the total amount of Tickets received per season, store prices, or the overall game economy (such as redistributing the amount of Act Tickets across Season Pass levels) are also possible.
Act Tickets policy may change between Acts, including changes to prices, total amount, and distribution of Tickets, as Tickets are an economic entity specific to a particular Act and do not carry over between them.
Season shop changes
Any gear part from previous seasons can now be purchased A part price is now 200 Act Tickets
The gear parts container now holds parts from previous seasons Price: 100 → 150 Tickets
Season gear obtaining changes
Previously it was possible to obtain 4 gear parts: from Special to Legendary quality. Now, crafting a season gear requires 5 Red parts instead of 4 different.
Some of the parts will be compensated:
- 1 Red part -> 2 Red parts;
- 1 Golden part -> 3 Red parts
- Purple and blue parts will not fall under compensation. It is possible to sell the parts to the Fence NPC within a month.
Season Pass rewards changes
Special Case Token is now obtained at level 460 of the Season Pass, instead of 200 as it was previously.
Same amount of Act Tickets can be received at 100, 200, 300, and 400 levels accordingly. At the same time, a fixed amount of Act Tickets is obtained in the paid Season Pass version.

Learn more about the reasons behind Tickets changes in our article.
Revitalization of The Swamps
NPCs at Ataman's HQ and the boathouse have finally come to life — they got their own unique animations. Stalkers no longer stand around like statues — they look around, shift their weight, chat with one another, and go about their daily routines. The Zone feels more alive now because movement is life.
And this is only the beginning. Over time, we'll add high-quality animations to other locations as well, making NPCs throughout the Zone feel truly alive.
Guide update
The in-game Guide was fully reworked. Let's take a closer look at what's changed.
Updated visuals
You can find the new Guide in the upper-right corner of the ESC menu.
Information about game mechanics has been consolidated under the Instructions section, while items have been moved to the Codex tab.
This makes finding the information faster and more convenient.
Information Search
Besides browsing categories, you can now use the search bar to quickly find relevant information.
An automatic recommendation system for related articles has also been added, helping you explore topics in detail.
Articles are recommended based on the number of matching tags. For example, if you explore about progression and open an article on weapon upgrade, the system will suggest other articles tagged with “Character progression”. This allows you to seamlessly navigate to the Researcher article and learn more about artifact builds.
Items can now be examined directly in the Guide: view them from all angles and access almost all available information without opening external windows.
Terms
If you come across an unfamiliar characteristic or term in the Guide, you can hover over it and get a brief explanation.
And if you would like to learn more, just left-click to go to the page with full information.
In the item's characteristics list, you can hover over unfamiliar terms to get a short definition from the Guide or head straight to the corresponding article.
3D-faces
2D faces are a vestige of the past that no longer fit our current vision for the game's visual. It's time to move on and open the new chapter of STALCRAFT: X visuals.
First iteration
All skins have received unique 3D models, giving characters more individuality.
As part of the first iteration, lip-sync has also been implemented — now NPC dialogue lines are accompanied by synchronized speech animation, making interaction with the world even more lively.
Now skins differ not only by its textures, but by its silhouette as well.
Unfortunately, in progress of development some skins have undergone changes. For example, the Gift Snatcher has changed his appearance — from mutant his became in balaclava.
Try to find other changes like this!
Further plans
It's just first iteration, and then there are several more stages of development:
- Lip-sync for NPC's replicas in open world;
- Characters emotions (playable and NPC);
- Possibility to wear balaclavas on all skins (not soon);
- Voluminous models of accessories — about that in details below;
- And other upgrades that are so early talking about.
Unfortunately, due to the inability to remove visors and helmets, 3D accessory support on skins is temporarily unavailable.
For example, the Corporat skin will currently appear as a character wearing a balaclava without glasses.
As soon as it becomes possible to remove the suits' helmets, we will immediately start working on a 3D accessory system for skins.
Write your thoughts, and we will monitor the feedback and make changes as needed.
Balance adjustments
SIG MPX update
SIG MPX submachine gun has received master rank and has been added to the barter as a continuation of HK MP5.
You can also obtain the drum for it through barter using the X-5 drum.
Due to the upgrade, the following have been changed:
| SIG MPX | Rank: Veteran → Master
Removed from the basic specification: the drum magazine |
|---|
Update on anomalous grenades
- The following grenades have been removed from access: Frost, Snowstorm, Sickness, Tarmac, Paralyzer, Barrier. Removed recipes in the Hideout, drop rates from safes, and so on.
- Stinky grenade now combines poisoning and slowing effects (the former functionality of the removed Tarmac grenade), but applies these effects more slowly than these grenades did previously.
- All grenades in the Damage category have been reclassified as Obstacle. They now share the same category as the Stinky. Stinky takes top priority: it will cover the effects of Napalm or Hot Jack.
- Napalm (and all other grenades that produce a similar visual effect), Plantain and Stinky now have different visual effects for enemies and allies.
| Grenade | Ally effect | Enemy effect |
|---|---|---|
| Plantain | ||
| Napalm |
| Stinky |
|---|
Following the removal of grenades, the following item replacements have been made for players
| Before | Now | Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Crate of Snowstorm Grenades | Crate of Napalm Grenades | x2 |
| Crate of Sickness Grenades | Crate of Napalm Grenades | х2 |
| Crate of Tarmac Grenades | Crate of Stinky Grenades | х1 |
| Snowstorm | Napalm | х2 |
| Sickness | Napalm | х2 |

| Frost Crate | Hot Jack Crate | х1 |
| Frost | Hot Jack | х1 |
| Paralyzer Crate | Crate of Stinky Grenades | х1 |
| Paralyzer | Stinky | х1 |
Stabilization adjustments
All Stabilization values (for attachments and built into weapons) have been halved. Stabilisation from anomalous modules is not affected by this weakening.
Anomalous module changes
- Improved many properties of the anomalous modules
- Weakened Regulator
- Changed characteristics of the Aggressor property

Regulator was too effective and, for many weapons, the only viable option, as it completely eliminated recoil. As the weapon’s effectiveness at range increased, its impact would have grown even more significant, which is why it was nerfed. It is still possible to completely eliminate or even reverse the recoil increase, but this will require the use of a high-quality module and weapon attachments that reduce recoil. |

Armour adjustments
Beastslayer branch received almost record-breaking stopping power protection. Combined with its laceration protection (which reduces incoming stopping power), the Beastslayers durability will allow it to withstand slowing effects more effectively than the SBA TANK, losing only to super-heavy armour suits.
| Trapper Suit | Added Stability: 5% |
|---|---|
| Vorsa Armored Suit | Added Stability: 15% |
| Osh Heavy Armored Suit | Added Stability: 25% |
| Jaeger Exoarmor | Added Stability: 25% |
| Beast Slayer Exoarmor | Added Stability: 40% |
Faction combat suits have received a slight boost to their durability to make them more competitive compared to similar items
Prometheus Armored Suit
| Added Stability: 15% |
|---|
Super-heavy armour suits have been averaged and now resemble more of a natural progression of the Centurion concept Excessive penalties to speed and bullet resistance made them a nuisance for both enemies and the owner, depending on the situation. They have become more mobile.
| SBA TANK | Bullet resistance: 285 → 272
|
|---|---|
| Bear Exoskeleton | Bullet resistance: 207 → 197
|
Apostle Super-Heavy Armored Suit
| Bullet resistance: 310 → 282
|
| ZIVCAS M2-T | Bullet resistance: 347 → 317
|
Yorsh and Spanner had rather poor parameters for their level and were of little use compared to their analogues, so they were upgraded.
| Yorsh Protective Armored Suit | Bullet resistance: 177 → 190
|
|---|---|
| RAPS Spanner | Bullet resistance: 161 → 183
|
Improved armour suits, which previously suffered significantly in gunfights due to their speed penalty
| Rigel Jumpsuit | Added Stability: 20%
|
|---|---|
| Antares Exoarmor | Speed: -8% → -7%
|
| RAPS AH-6 Nomad | Speed: -4% → -3% |
| RAPS AH-5 Pilgrim | Speed: -4% → -3% |

|
| Fog Hunter Heavy Armored Suit | Bullet resistance: 163 → 169
|
| Altyn Set | Speed: -5% → -2% |
| Altyn-T Heavy Set | Rank: Veteran → Stalker (fixed erroneously inflated rank, the issue only affected the visual display of the rank)
|
| Expedition Suit | Bullet resistance: 118 → 120
|
Artefact and consumable adjustments
Weakened the following properties for most artefacts and consumables:
- Regeneration
- Healing
- Healing Effectiveness
- Stability
- Bleeding protection
Added adjustments to artefacts that were too weak or too strong
Artefact changes
| Artefact | Changes | Devs notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bubblegum | Speed: -1.85% → -1.5%
| Despite a good win rate in PvP, the success rate of raids drops significantly due to a severe speed debuff. |
| Raisin | Added Stability: 2.6% | We had the choice between simply reducing the vitality debuff or emphasising the artefact’s “glass cannon” status. We chose the latter. |
| Larva | Stamina: 18.5% → 13%
| Healing Effectiveness moved to Main property |
| Mug | Added Carry weight: 3.8
Bonus properties
| |
| Viburnum Branch | Added Bleeding: -0.4
| |
| Bracelet | Added Vitality: 0.5% | Although this artefact is one of the most popular, it falls short in terms of effectiveness compared to other Tier 5 items, including those that boost speed |
| Prism | No changes | Despite the general nerf to stability, this artefact's property remained unchanged, as its effectiveness had fallen slightly behind that of other Tier 5 artefacts |
| Fossil | Healing: 0.5% → 0.4% | |
| Dark Viburnum | Regeneration: 4.4% → 3.3%
Bonus properties
| |
| Black Hole | Bonus properties
| Overall protection against bleeding has dropped significantly, whilst the debuff on Whole remains unchanged, further weakening it. |
| Timber | Bonus properties

| Link | Bonus properties
| |
| Flicker | Regeneration: 1.9% → 1.4%
Bonus properties
| |
| Tiny key | Removed Bleeding Protection: -18.8% | Too strong and unpleasant debuff, for niche properties granted by the artefact |
| Bismuth | Removed Stamina: -32%
| Similar to Tiny key |
| Inside Out Rose | Healing Effectiveness: -17.7% → -17%
| Stability, when included as a Main property, significantly boosted the power of this artefact — so much so that we even had to remove the compensatory property (even taking into account the general nerf to Stability). |
| Steel Hedgehog | Added Healing Effectiveness: 3% | This artefact performs well when used on its own in a build, but falls slightly short of other T4 artefacts when stacked with itself. |
| Dumbbell | Added Carry weight: 9.8
| Although the artefact isn’t the best choice for pure PvP, it has a very positive impact on the success of a raid. We wanted to emphasise this aspect even more and make it more appealing to players |
| Snake Eye | Added Healing Effectiveness: -4.5% | Too strong when combined with itself |
| Gum | Added Bullet resistance: 2.6
| |
| Shard | Added Regeneration: 0.7%
| It feels surprisingly good, but it will suffer somewhat due to the reduced healing, so to compensate, we’ve added EVEN MORE HEALING to emphasise this particular feature. |
| Heel | Added Bullet resistance: 5.2
| It will suffer greatly due to the reduction in healing, and it was already rather weak to begin with |
| Gills | Regeneration: 3% → 2.3%
Bonus properties
| The bleeding protection has been increased to compensate for the overall reduction in this property. As a result, the bleeding protection for this artefact remains unchanged |
| Hoop | Regeneration: 3% → 2.3%

| |
| Sun | Regeneration: 2.1% → 1.6%

| |
| Inkwell | Ramoved Laceration protection: 12.2
| Vitality moved from Special to Additional property to increase the artefact’s effectiveness |
| Crystal of Inside Out | Removed Reaction to laceration: -5.9% | Far too nasty and powerful debuff |
| Tallow | Removed Reaction to electricity: -7.3%
| Similar to Crystal of Inside Out |
| Firebird | Added Bleeding Protection: 1.5%
| |
| Spiral | Added Vitality: -0.5%
Bonus properties
| It’s a bit too powerful as a high-speed T3 artefact, but we didn’t want to take away its core stats, so we’ve given it a slight nerf. |
| Stress fest | Added Bullet resistance: -2
| Similar to Spiral |
| Dark Crystal | Stamina regeneration: 2.3% → 1.5%
| Vitality moved from Special to Additional to improve the artefact’s effectiveness |
| Cryogen | Carry weight: 5.8 → 8.3

| Fahrenheit | Bonus properties
| |
| Candlelight | Added Bullet resistance: 2.1
| |
| Swamp Rot | Added Vitality: 0.3%
| |
| Heart | Added Healing: 0.2%
| It was a dead artefact and will be significantly affected by the changes to healing effectiveness, so we’ve added a strong compensatory parameter to emphasise the artefact’s intended purpose. |
| Comet | Added Carry weight: 3.3 | To make it stand out a bit more from the Battery |
| Veiner | Bullet resistance: 8.1 → 5.7
| Too strong T2 artefact. Bullet resistance moved from Main to Additional |
| Shrimp | Added Vitality: -0.5% | It was too powerful, but we didn't want to reduce or remove its core abilities, so we've made a slight nerf to its vitality |
| Frost | Added Bullet resistance: 2.6
| |
| Sponge | Added Carry weight: 2.8
Bonus properties
| |
| Crust | Added Bullet resistance: 2.6
| |

| Instead of a situational response, they achieved a sustained improvement in vitality |

Ammunition changes
- Increased 5 mm and 7 mm Round stopping power by 5
- Increased 10 mm Round stopping power to the 5 mm and 7 mm Round amount
| 5.56 Heating Rounds | Fire damage: 10% → 8.75%
Heating rounds effectiveness against Combat armour was comparable to SBP rounds against Combo armour (while being significantly inferior against Combo and Scientist armour), and it additionally applied burning to the target. This made the round too powerful and versatile against Combat armour, and as a result it was slightly nerfed (it remains the strongest against Combat armour). |
|---|
Weapon changes
- Increased effectiveness at long and medium distances for Machine Guns, Assault Rifles, and Submachine Guns
- Removed damage reduction from most of the sniper rifles Changed maximum and minimum damage distances to ensure correct functionality of Compressor and Decompressor modules

- Moved PTRD-M from Other Weapons category to Sniper Rifles
- Changed HK PSG and SOK-94 characteristics to more correct and convenient
- Increased Premium SIX12 and Premium Micro UZI to top-tier barter gear level

Session battles changes
Duels
- The presets for the gear for duels was update.
- In duel maps list was added Inferno and Hospital.
- Most equipment presets now use armor-piercing ammunition, except for the issued shotguns.
Session Battles
- Removed the Hospital Deathmatch, Wormhole, and Pripyat Streets maps, along with their variants.
- Session Battles for the Stalker and Veteran ranks are now played on the Colosseum and Collapse maps, rotating every 30 minutes.
- Changed team spawn points on the Moria House map.
- Removed the capture point on the Hospital, Moria House, Inferno, and Glass maps — victory now requires reaching a fixed kill count. Map rotation has been added for these locations: Hospital and Inferno rotate every 10 minutes, while Moria House and Glass rotate every 15 minutes (the kill limit required for victory is not final and may be adjusted in the future).
- Added map rotation for GOST-17 Deathmatch and Glass Deathmatch — now they replace each other every 10 minutes.
- Added access to the personal storage inside the mobile camp in Subdivision Battles.
- All variants of the Flamethrower and Frostthrower no longer automatically replenish their magazines on kill in Session Battles.
In-game shop update
Pack chain
Do you want to get closer to the season's top rewards faster? The chain of special bundles includes Season pass levels, Overdrives, Tactical Stockpile crates, and the Control paint — everything you need for a strong start.
Styles
True superiority starts before the first shot is fired. The Tactical superiority style set is designed for those who prefer their gear to look just as dangerous as its owner. If you favour strict tactics over flashy appearance, this set is sure to find a place in your arsenal.
Tank and Melted cosmetics, along with Ship motifs, will be available for purchase until the end of summer.
Other changes and fixes
- Changed the chunk loading mechanism. It is no longer possible for an enemy to shoot at you while being outside your loaded chunks. Now the list of chunks that can be visible from your current position is determined by that position and does not depend on your previous movement across the map.
- Updated AUG A3 model.
- Updated Houndmaster, Trapper, Hunter’s Cloak and Orion Jumpsuit models.
- The Drossel's resource box for Arsen can now only be purchased with rubles.
- Added reputation limit per day, which can be obtained by donating one type of resource. The limit is approximately 1000 reputation, but each resource has its own quantitative limit.
- Arsen also now accepts advanced and standard spare parts and tools on a permanent basis.
- Raincoat was deleted from barter. Now its position in the barter is taken by the Cloak-Tent.
- Fixed missing texture on F2000.
- Removed zeroes from the ZIVCAS M2-C exoskeleton.
- All styles for the Desert Eagle are now also available for the Big Bill.
- In the death screen, you can now view the name of the equipment without the style/motif.
- The weapon no longer increases in height to 3 slots when installing 45-round magazines and the ACOG sight.
- Adjusted the spawn of quest сaches in the factional North.
- Adjusted the Morse code for tangled signals: you can now distinguish the dungeon signal from others.
- Your own pack can now be added to the trash independently of other packs.
- All artefact build stats are now applied only after the build is fully equipped.
- The Trampoline anomaly now activates the laceration reaction again.
- Now, after collecting anomalous crystals or pulp, a collection mark remains in their place for a while – a plant without pulp or branches/stumps without crystals.
- Reduced the weight of the Core Inhibitor item from 10g to 1g.
- Fixed multiple translation inconsistency bugs across all languages.
- Corrected several minor localization bugs in all languages.
