Different magazines to be found

I would like to have a magazine system like EfT have. That would be very interesting.

So, in the beginning you have for your AK a few 30-bullets mags. Then you can have rare loot of 40-bullets mags, very rare loot of 60 bullets mags, or buy them from trader for higher prices.

Well, sounds sensible to me. However, keep in mind that this has traditionally been a weapon upgrade option in Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat. So if STALKER 2 features a similar upgrade system, it might be better to leave it that way instead of removing the upgrade option.

i'm assuming when you refer to an 'EFT-like' magazine system, you mean one in which individual rounds are tracked and you have to actively prepare magazines?

anything more than the game distinguishing partial reloads leaving a round in the chamber would be adding needless tedium, and last i checked, STALKER wasn't a milsim

I would not mind having upgrades like this but when it tips over into a situation where you have a drum mag for 60 or so rounds you empty it then switch to the 30 round banana ones would be going to far imo.

I prefer the system used in crysis or even metro exodus where you could do the upgrade stuff yourself.
Having gunsmiths doing jobs that only require a screwdriver (or more accurately imbus tools) never made sense to me those guys should do stuff like repairing badly worn out weapons or retooling for a different caliber bullet or making weapons ready for taking a "silencer" or flash suppressor if they do not already support those.
The kind of work that would require changing out a bunch of parts that a stalker would not normally be carrying around in his backpack kind of work (and no anomaly is nonsense in this regard i leave my workshop at home thank you very much)

STALKER isn't a milsim but the milsim crowd likes it because it has bullet penetration and ballistics modeling, even if it's not the most realistic

One of the only mods I want that I cant get to work is Anomaly Magazines because I like the RS3/SWAT4/Insurgency mechanic of having a mag-pool, rather than an ammo-pool

But more on point, he wasn't talking about magazine pooling at all, he was talking about being able to finder larger capacity mags. Eg. 30rd, 45/60rd, 100rd drum, etc
