Weapon Classes in STALCRAFT

Assault Rifles — 85 models

The most common class in STALCRAFT: X. Assault rifles are versatile — effective at close and medium range, with some models performing well at long range. DPS leaders among assault rifles: LR-300 (545 DPS at 950 fire rate), A-545 (529 DPS), FAMAS G2 (528 DPS). For mid-range PvP: HK416A (521 DPS), Beretta ARX-160 (520 DPS). 7.62 caliber delivers high per-shot damage — AK-15 deals 46.3 per hit but fires slower. 5.56 caliber compensates lower damage with higher fire rate. A separate niche — suppressed 9x39 rifles (AS Val, AMB-17, ASM Serval): reduced range but minimal detectability.

Sniper Rifles — 48 models

STALCRAFT snipers split into two types. Bolt-action — maximum per-shot damage: CheyTac M200 Intervention deals 241, VSSK Vykhlop — 233, Cheytac M300 (A) — 208. These are one-shot-one-kill weapons. Semi-auto (DMR) — faster firing, suitable for active firefights: Volna (A) delivers 443 DPS, QBU-191 — 417, VSK-94 (A) — 422. Legendary Gauss Rifle (247 damage) and CR-380 (400 DPS) top the tree, firing battery cells instead of bullets.

Shotguns — 36 models

Absolute DPS leaders in STALCRAFT are shotguns. Pancor Jackhammer holds first place with 720 DPS, followed by Saiga-12 (623 DPS), KS-12 Komrad (620 DPS), AA-12 (600 DPS). The tradeoff — minimal range (75 meters for most) and high spread. KS-23 stands apart: 440 damage per shot in 23x75 caliber, but only 40 fire rate. Shotguns are indispensable in close-range PvP, building clearing, and farming mutants in enclosed spaces.

Pistols — 38 models

Secondary weapons for the second slot. Best for PvP: OTs-33 Pernach (595 DPS — one of the deadliest pistols), Desert Eagle Mark XIX (558 DPS), Glock 18X (542 DPS), SIG Sauer P320 (500 DPS). For PvE: RSh-12 in 12.7 caliber — 142.9 damage, penetrates heavy armor. Legendary CR-72 fires battery cells, delivering 411 DPS at 205 damage per shot.

Submachine Guns (SMG) — 32 models

Compact high-fire-rate weapons for close-to-medium combat. TDI KRISS Vector leads the class with 580 DPS at 1000 fire rate. Scorpion EVO III delivers 574 DPS, PPK-20 — 558 DPS, HK MP7A2 — 545 DPS. SMGs feature lower recoil compared to assault rifles, compensating for lower per-hit damage. FN P90 is notable for its 50-round magazine — rare for the class.

Machine Guns — 15 models

Heavy automatic weapons with massive magazines. MG 3 — 536 DPS at 1200 fire rate (record among all small arms). RPL-20 — 505 DPS with 100-round magazine. DSA RPD — 491 DPS. M249 SAW holds 200 rounds for sustained suppressive fire. The downside — long reload (up to 7.25 seconds for M249), high weight, movement speed penalty.

Melee — 69 models

Cold weapons from knives to sledgehammers. Allows faster movement across the map — holding a blade gives higher speed than carrying a firearm. Tactical katanas, combat axes, karambits — each model differs in normal attack damage, heavy attack damage, range, and unique perks (penetration, bleeding). The legendary Sledgehammer holds a special place as the most powerful melee weapon.

Heavy Weapons — 9 models

PTRD-M (A) — 575 DPS at 345 damage per shot, one of the most powerful units in STALCRAFT. Large caliber, 250-meter range. RPG-7 fires rocket grenades — ideal against groups. Flamethrowers (Ognivo, Khladorez, Khladomet) deal area damage, effective in defense. RG-6 — six-shot grenade launcher for position suppression.

Devices — 8 models

Artifact detectors of varying range: Svecha (Newbie), Belukha (Stalker), Buryat (Veteran), Elbrus (Master). Higher detector rank means wider detection radius and longer battery life. Signal mines (SN-1 Blin, SN-2 Noga) — early warning devices for position defense.

Weapon Ranks in STALCRAFT

Each weapon has a rank from Lockpick to Legend. The rank system determines overall character power (GS) and affects server distribution — players with high-rank gear are placed on separate servers with similarly equipped opponents. Rank increases automatically when acquiring more powerful equipment through barter. Rank cannot be decreased — even switching to weaker gear won't change your server tier.

Lockpick — starting rank, basic gear after tutorial. Newbie — first barter weapons, enough for Cordon. Stalker — mid-level, sufficient for most PvE activities. Veteran — serious gear for Dark Valley, Dead City. Master — top equipment for Limansk, competitive PvP. Legend — unique weapons (Gauss Rifle, CR-380, CR-72, Sledgehammer) with exceptional stats.

How to Choose the Best Weapon in STALCRAFT

There's no universal "best weapon" — the choice depends on the task. For mid-range PvP: assault rifles with high DPS and low spread — LR-300, A-545, HK416 (A). For aggressive close-range PvP: Pancor Jackhammer, Saiga-12 shotguns, or high-fire-rate SMGs (Vector, Scorpion EVO). For farming mutants on open maps: DMR-class sniper rifles (Volna, SVCh). For point defense: machine guns with large magazines (M249, RPL-20).

What to Look for When Comparing

DPS (damage per second) — the main lethality indicator. Calculated as damage per shot multiplied by fire rate, divided by 60. Higher means the target is eliminated faster.

Damage (close/far) — every weapon in STALCRAFT has a "damage ramp": maximum damage at close range that drops with distance. The difference can be significant — shotgun damage at range drops to one-third.

Spread — lower value means more accurate shots. Sniper rifles have 0.02–0.1 spread, assault rifles — 0.33–0.47, shotguns — 0.4–0.5.

Magazine & Reload — critical in prolonged firefights. Machine guns with 100–200 round magazines outperform 30-round assault rifles, but reload takes 5–7 seconds.
