Will there be a "Master" difficulty?

[Miso Hjörny]

Having trouble finding info on the game's difficulty options so I figured I'd ask here if anyone knows,

Anyone know if this one is gonna have a Master difficulty like SoC? Or something akin to you and enemies being evenly matched when it comes to weapons and damage?

Probably.
Game is still hard on easy though
Also damage to enemies never change regarding each setting.
Only you are more squishy.
This has been proven correct long ago.

Yes. It's the difficulty where you truly go without female contact for weeks on end. New meaning to master.

Imagine they adding "Female" difficulty where you have x2 strength more and ability to call every npcs a bigotry racist. That'd be easier.

The other Stalker games had a difficulty option. Even with that they were no cake walk.

There will be a ton of mods where you can adjust and finetune it if master is a walk in the park for you as well

Master outside of some parts has always been fairly easier than most other games' hardest difficulties
Veteran blew chunks tho
