The irradiated forests and fields 🌼of Chernobyl are by no means the safest plac𝕴e in the world, and Chernobylite perfectly captures that isolated and forgotten feel to the once-bustling cityscape of Pripyat. Similar to the Stalker series, this survival crafting horror game from The Farm 51 can be pretty tough to get through.
Dense forests block your view, aggressive soldiers prowl around and supernatural events warp reality around you. With background Radiation constantly seeping into your skin and the need to constantly sc𒉰rounge up supplies to survive, it can sometimes feel like a constant uphill battle to stay alive. Thankfully there are a few things you can do when you start off that make things much easier, here are a few facts that we wish we knew before starting Chernobylite.
Updated On May 11th, 2022, by Matthew Mckeown: Greetings fellow Stalkers, it may have been a while since the last ch🦹eck-in but since then the i🧸rradiated wastes of Pripyat have not been quiet. Chernobylite has gone under some pretty substantial updates, and though it may still be in Early Access it’s one step closer to full release.
If you’ve taken a break from the game or are completely new, there are a few new things that you should probably get up to speed on if you want to wander around these woods. Plus, they’ve recently started a in partnership with the Pure Heart Foundation whereby all income from purchases will go to providing humanitarian aid to those suffering in the war in Ukraine. So with all that in mind, here are some extra Chernobylite tips and tricks.
15 The Crossbowꦡ Is A Silent Killer
First and foremost Chernobylite is not really supposed to be an action game. It’s more about exploration and survival, ൲but gunplay does come in handy ඣat times. Though the biggest drawback is the loud noise popping off a shot creates. To counter that, use the crossbow.
A recent addℱition to the game, the Crossbow is cಌompletely silent and highly modifiable, able to take down patrolling NAR soldiers with ease. Though slow to reload and a little expensive to craft, it’s highly recommended as staying silent in the zone can often mean the difference between life and death.
14 Don’t Run In Straight Lines 💃
Early on in Chernobylite you’re not going to have a lot of ways to defend yourself, so tu꧋rning tail and running away whilst you still can is often your only option. However, an interesting note about how monsters and the NAR marksmen handle targeting is that they can’t handle a moving target too well.
Most mutants will charge or leap at you in a straight line, whilst♒ snipers or soldiers will stand in one place and shoot at a static point. Slipping in some zig-🥀zags, as simple as that may sound, can help quite a bit as shots zip past your head or screeching claws come within inches of sending you back to your bunker empty-handed.
13 Get Used To Bu🅰gs
It really can’t be stressed enough that Chernobylite is an early access game. Despite a phenomenal amount of polish that’s gone into it since ♕it first app🌱eared, the game is still prone to a few bugs here and there. Something the developers themselves are not shy about either.
There are regular with a laundry list of patches for the simplest glitches to the game-breaking big boys. Whilst the team has done their best to squash them,🌱 it’s recommended that you save fairly often or at least after important events as something could sporadically decide to break and cause you to lose your progress.
12 🍸 There Is An Invisible Countdown
As you play through Chernobylite a radioactive storm will start to build i♑n intensity. Green lightning bolts will blast down from the sky, radioactive fire will appear and eventually the Black Stalker will appear and try to hunt you down. It’s supposed to be a pseudo-ingame timer to stop you from spending too much time in the zone as the areas themselves are not that big.
One o♎f our top Chernobylite tips is to just ignore this. The Stalker can be easily avoided and doing so for a few minutes causes them to disappear. Whilst the lightning blasts and fire always appears in a set pattern around you, making it mostly for show. So you can spend as long as you like wander💛ing around the abandoned city of Pripyat, as long as you have a hiding spot to bolt to for a few minutes when your cross-dimensional pursuer shows up.
11 Zones Are Not As Populated As You Think ܫ
From the outside it may ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚseem like the wilds of Pripyat are teeming with mutants, ghouls, and trigger happy mercenaries look♑ing for a fresh target, but that’s not really the case. Unless you’re sprinting around making a ton of noise, you’ll rarely run into a threat.
This does change as the game goes on the zone becomes more corrupted and the NAR increases its presence. But for b﷽eginners, this means that unless you’re progressing the story, the city is going to be fairly quiet for quite a while. So take advantage of this and stockpile your resources before Pripyats security sꦰtarts to get clamped down on.

For example, Mushrooms can be combined on the Stove with Herbs to create Calming Salts to restore your Psyche levels. It's a crucial crafting station you shouldn't go without.
8 ⭕ Know Your Cr🥂afting Recipies

Ideally, you should memorize a handful of the more 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:important crafting recipes so you⭕ can prioritize the pickup of the parts that you need the most.
7 The Environment Analyzer Is Your Best Friend🌜 💧
The map of Chernobylite is pretty big and it's packed full of abandoned buildings, outposts, interesting areas, and deadly pockets of Radiation you can easily stumble into.
To make things easier on yourself you should constantly be using the Environmental Analyzer. This handheld PDA sends out a ping that highlights items to collect, nearby enemies, and what direction you should go to find specific resources. It also comes with a handy built-in Geiger counter, perfect for avoiding any heavily irradiated areas. It's recommended to keep this out at all times and always have an eye on it when you're wandering around.
6 𝄹 🐻 Decorate Your Base
Although it may not seem like it, in Chernobylite, taking some time to personalize your hideout can have a massive beneficial effect as base-building is incredibly i🌃mportant in this game.
Adding some furniture around the rather Spartan area you're given as your Batcave will help improve your companion morales. This is incredibly important as unhappy followers will start to perform poorly in missions or just completely leave if their needs are not met. So spend some time adding that personal touch to the base to keep their Comfort Level above 100 and stop them from ditching you.
