Rewards for killing Mutants

[Ordo Malleus]

Just started yesterday, but i would be cool to get something for killing mutants, they eat up your ammo and it is just really "expensive" to fight them

[Martigen]

The reward is not dying. The zone is a brutal place Stalker, surviving is the the goal. Ammo is not wasted if you get to live another day.

This isn't the Elder Scrolls or Fallout series. Creatures are not saving gold to buy claw, fang or hoof upgrades. It is closer to real life where you wouldn't get a thing except your own life in reward

[Spooky]

your reward is not reloading your save

[JRawr]

You'll eventually find powerful weapons that won't eat up as much.

They won't eat up your bullets, only your credits in repairs

But easy to escape from them.

There's some mutant killing quests in Zaton from the technician. Likely other quests else where. Bartenders, etc...

There is mod that adds loot of mutants: https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/389
Personally I think this is dumb that they dont add it in vanila, cuz old good stalker have it.

It adds to all mutants. Good old Stalker only had loot for some mutants. Plus there was nothing to do with it but sell it and for quests.

The mods are better as it is more implemented than vanilla. Mods are always better since they have no deadline to finish it if it ever gets finished.

Mods are forever early access to never complete.

Just run when you can. Also do side quests until the technicians and shops where you are doing your ♥♥♥♥ are green. It takes a few quests but they will turn green eventually, giving discounts and sell bonuses.

In the original Stalker, some mutants sometimes gave a body part, like the pseudodog tail in case of the pseudodog. You could keep these as a trophy or you could sell it to others (not to the official traders though).

The game loop is broken, treat the monsters like amnesia and just run past them . The only thing monsters do in this game is reduce your ammunition reserves, incur wear and tear on your weapons, and destroy your armor

Saiga-12 and buy as many slugs/buckshot a you can carry. Mutants will no longer be a problem with a magazine of shells to the face.

Well when I was a young stalker you had to walk ten miles uphill in the snow both ways to kill a mutant then get no reward. You should just be glad you're alive. How dare you expect that a mutant would have swallowed an artifact or has the half eaten body of a stalker and his weapon in it's stomach. Why I tell ya the zone is a harsh place and if you just live one more day in this hell that is more a kin to a prison you should be grateful. Maybe you're just one of these naive sorts that still believe in the wish granter... Why I tell ya in my day..... Well I tell ya in my day games were punishing not like that pansy bethesda stuff.

The usual best option is to run away and save your meds/ammo. Shotguns for mutants, rifles for humans. Except poltergeist, rifles work well on them.
