Hint:
Easy way to get hold of a AKM-74/SU, a RGD-5 Grenade and 2 anti-radiation caps very close to the beginning of the game:

Play the first mission rescue a stalker from some raiders and collect as many items as you can from the fallen. Go back to the camp you begin the game and sell the collected guns. At that point you should already be able to but the silenced handgun and have some spare change ideally just over 500 RU, if not then do a side-mission for the stalker you just saved.

Once you have the silenced handgun and 500 RU you should make your way north towards the bridge where you can see 4 or 5 army soldiers engaged with a few stalkers. Save your game and wait until the soldiers got rid off the stalkers and speak to the soldier towards the left of the bridge close to the debris, not the one at the campfire. He will let you pass the barricade for 500 RU. Agree to pay the money and he will turn around. At this point you have about 3-5 seconds where none of the soldiers will be looking at you, and the soldier you just spoke to just so happened to be in an area of debris and pipes. Shoot him with the silenced handgun, and MAKE SURE it is a headshot. He will go down quietly, however make sure you un-equip your weapon at the same time.

If you have done it quick enough the other soldiers will not notice a thing and you can loot the body to get hold of a decent weapon, grenades and some anti-radiation caps. However, timing is everything and since the solider's position changes during the fight you may want to make use of your quick-save/quick-load keys. Also, while you are at it, make sure you climb up to the wagon still hanging at the top of the bridge for some more hidden equipment.

Free Stalker Suit From A New Game:
At the very beginning of the game, you need to talk to a stalker named Wolf in the Cordon newbie camp. Behind Wolf is a ladder that leads to an empty backpack in the attic.

Climb the ladder but do not enter the attic. Instead, walk around the ledge formed where the roof and walls meet. You can work your way onto the roof of the house that way.

Once on top of the roof of this house, there is an identical house north of the one you are on. You can sprint and jump to the roof of that adjacent house you take a little damage.

When you get to the second house's roof, carefully make your way to the side with a hole in the roof -- just past it, you should be able to make out a wooden crate you can destroy. If you spoke to Wolf and accepted the mission to rescue Nimble, you should have a pistol.

Shoot the wooden crate and a Stalker suit worth 15,OOO Rubles will be inside. Simply grab it and you'll be immediately better off than you think you could be.

Barrels of Fun:
If you shoot an NPC in the game, he and his faction will open fire on you. However, you can use the red explosive barrels to kill them and it will not count as a "source of damage" against your character.

You can try this against some of the Freedom NPCs in the Army Warehouses who are standing next to what amounts to a giant bomb that only needs your gunfire to detonate. In fact, if you have the patience to locate red explosive barrels in pacified areas, you can use this exploit to bag a lot of items and loot

Performance Fix:
It's his user file, he tweaked it quite well. It helped me a lot and a few other people, hope it helps you too.
