S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky Offical Cover Art Release Date: 2008 Developer: GSC Game World Publisher: THQ; Deep Silver; Koch Media Series: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Platforms: PC Genre: First-Person Shooter Role-Playing Game

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky is a 2008 stand-alone prequel for the video game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. While the gameplay and engine are essentially the same with some more polish and content cut from the original, it also features some brand new plot, some new characters, and "new" firearms (all of the "new" guns are actually guns cut from SoC).

Clear Sky also introduces a new system: weapon upgrades; upgrades are installed by technicians, who can also repair your weaponry.

The following weapons appear in the video game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky:

Handguns

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS appears in the game as the "Martha". Unlike SoC (in which there was only one in the entire game), the weapon is now far more widespread. Its stats have also changed from SoC, now having a high rate of fire and low recoil.

Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm Parabellum

Holding the 92FS. Note the ammo count on the HUD; this particular 92FS has had its magazine capacity upgraded.

"Aiming" the pistol; for some reason, aiming handguns in Clear Sky does not actually use the iron sights, instead switching to this odd zoom view.

Reloading; every handgun in Clear Sky uses the exact same reload animation. The slide also does not lock back on an empty reload, unlike SoC.

Browning Hi-Power Mark III

Originally cut from SoC, the Browning Hi-Power Mark III appears in the game as the "HPSS-1m". It is fairly common, and is an all-around average pistol, not excelling in any particular niche.

Colt M1911

The Colt M1911 appears in the game as the "Kora-919". It has received a considerable upgrade from its SoC incarnation, now being one of the most accurate pistols in the game.

Colt M1911 - .45 ACP

Holding the M1911; like the Hi-Power, it is incorrectly depicted as double-action.

Aiming.

Reloading.

Desert Eagle Mark XIX

The Desert Eagle Mark XIX appears in the game as the "Black Kite". It is yet again incorrectly chambered in .45 ACP, and is, yet again, the most powerful pistol in the game.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX - .50 AE

Holding the hand cannon. As usual, it is incorrectly shown as double-action.

Aiming.

Reloading. Note the weirdly tall slide serrations.

Fort-12

The Fort-12 returns under the different name of "Fora-12". It is fairly similar to its SoC counterpart, being a decent upgrade to the Makarov PM but being slightly less reliable.

Fort-12 - 9x18mm Makarov

Holding the Fort-12. Like the Beretta above, this Fort-12 has had its magazine upgraded.

Aiming.

Reloading. Note the markings, which indicate that it is based on the Fort-12R, a less lethal variant.

Heckler & Koch USP Compact

The Heckler & Koch USP Compact appears in the game as the "UDP Compact". It has the highest rate of fire out of all of the .45 handguns (and, in fact, of all the handguns).

Heckler & Koch USP Compact - .45 ACP

The USP in idle. Again, this one has had its magazine upgraded.

Aiming.

Reloading will give a great view of the markings.

World model.

Makarov PB

The Makarov PB appears in the game as the "PB1s". Unlike its SoC incarnation, it is very rare, only able to be bought or found in stashes. It is also far less durable than in SoC, as it will get damaged more than most weapons after just a few magazines.

Makarov PB - 9x18mm Makarov

Holding an empty PB.

Aiming.

Makarov PM

The Makarov PM appears in the game as the "PMm". It is one of the starting weapons, and has also been given a noticeable upgrade since SoC, as its damage has been given a slight boost; its accuracy, however, is still quite low.

Makarov PM - 9x18mm Makarov

Holding the PM.

Aiming.

Reloading and showing off the weirdly shiny finish.

SIG-Sauer P220

The SIG-Sauer P220 appears in the game as the "SIP-t M200". It is somewhat rare, only being used by Mercenaries. Performance-wise, it is fairly similar to the USP Compact, but has a lower rate of fire and a slightly too large 10-round capacity.

Early Model SIG-Sauer P220 - .45 ACP

Aiming.

Reloading. Note the small SIG logo on the slide.

Walther P99

The Walther P99 appears in the game as the "Walker P9m". It is slightly less common than in SoC, as it is no longer the only common 9x19mm pistol.

GP-25

The GP-25 appears in the game as the "GP-25 "Koster"". It can be mounted to the AKS-74 and AN-94, but for some reason it can only do so after an upgrade, even though those weapons can attach it by default in reality.

SIG GL 5040

The SIG GL 5040 appears in the game as the "M203". Like the GP-25, it can only be installed after an upgrade, with compatible rifles being: the Heckler & Koch G36, L85A1, SIG SG 550, Z-M LR 300; it is rather strange that the SG 550 requires an upgrade in order for it to be able to mount a grenade launcher, as it should have one by default.
