S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl Axxii’s Stealth Mod v1.9

                    
This mod aims to fix the “stealth” in this game, making harder for NPCs to spot you on different weather conditions and different player positions (walk, crouch, etc.)
This mod aims to improve the detection system in this game, NPCs shouldn’t spot you instantly from 20 meters or more, since that breaks immersion. Some testers are say it works, but note that it could not work in certain scenarios, since I haven’t found a 100% way to fully fix stealth in this game.
The mod:

Improves the spotting by NPCs based on the weather (for example easier to spot you on a clear day than during a foggy day)


Foliage translucency is reduced too by a bit (this should nerf NPCs spotting through grass or bushes)


NPC perception of low crouch and crouch sound reduced.


Cover height and width.


NPCs now should search for you instead of instantly spotting you, this improves immersion (unless you shoot them, they’ll spot you)


The minimum distance NPCs should take to completely spot has been increased a bit (from 4,5 meters to 10 meters)
