The launch of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl was not as smooth as GSC Game World had hoped. The PC version of the game is currently plagued with bugs and performance issues, but that hasn't stopped longtime fans from enjoying it. The devs have committed to fixing the issues, but the community has already taken things into their own hands.

Stalker 2 is going to turn a lot of people off, and that's a good thing
This is not your average open world game.
While performance issues and bugs have already resulted in a number of player-made mods, the community is looking for ways to work around other issues. It looks like someone has found a way to deal with Stalker 2's broken economy system, and it's a lot easier than installing a mod.
How to get the real value of your items in Stalker 2
Aside from performance issues and general flamboyance, one of the features that players complain about the most is the economy system. It seems the game doesn't reward you enough to repair your weapons and armor. Selling items also doesn't get you many credits, resulting in players having to throw away items instead of fixing them.
However, one player seems to have found a solution, and it's quite simple. You may have noticed that when you try to sell any item, it goes below its value. Redditor IronChumbo stumbled upon a way to make sure you're getting a fair price. They also detailed it in a video on Reddit.
The method is very simple:
– Add the items you want to sell to the merchant's 'Sell' window, but do not click 'Confirm'.
– You will see the amount below, which will not be much as it is now.
– Then, right-click on any of the items in the 'Sell' window and hover over the 'Remove' prompt.
– You will notice that the bottom price goes up.
GSC Game World will get around to fixing this and the overall economy, but if you don't want to wait until then, this method will get you the right price to sell your items. It's still a bit unclear if this is an exploit or a bug, but if you're strapped for cash in the zone, this method will help you out.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is the long-awaited follow-up to the apocalyptic first-person shooter. As a stalker, you must venture into the deadly Exclusion Zone, contending with mutants and warring factions alike, in search of precious artifacts.
