About this converter
STALKER 2 shows damage on a 0 to 5 bar scale in game, transcribed by Game8. Rifles cluster near 1. Kharod and Fora sit at 0.9. AKM class sits at 1.2. Uniques climb to 1.4 and 1.6. Snipers climb to 2.1 and 2.3. Shotguns cap at 5.0 for 12 gauge, including Saiga D-12, Boomstick, Toz-34 and Ram-2. Handling, rate of fire, range and accuracy ride with damage and are noted per entry.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Saiga D-12 against AKM-74S to see the close range gap. The result line prints the equality plus the per unit ratio. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1.
Values are base with no upgrades or attachments. Ammo type changes real wounding but the bar scale stays fixed, so ammo is not mixed in. The GameVillage 1.4 variant for AKM is left out as conflicting with Game8 1.2. Omitted: grenade launchers, which use blast tables, not the small arms bar. Range and accuracy fall off fast past 50 meters for most rifles here.
