Way Faster Repeatable Quests v1.4
Overview
Fast Quest Refresh is a simple yet powerful mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl that greatly reduces the refresh timers for dynamic side quests from major vendors across the Zone. Tired of waiting 24, 48, or even 72 in-game hours (that’s 11+ bed sleeps for some!) just to grab the next fetch or kill mission? This mod slashes those timers down to just 1 in-game hour, letting you chain quests endlessly for rapid money farming, reputation grinding, and faster progression without the frustration.
Perfect for veteran stalkers who want more action and less downtime. No more staring at the ceiling while “come back later” NPCs mock your impatience!
Features
– Drastically Reduced Timers: All major dynamic quest refresh timers reduced from defaults (24-72 hours) to 1 in-game hour.
– Seamless Integration: Uses lightweight config overrides via .pak file – minimal impact on game performance.
– Instant Refresh After Completion: Finish a quest? Wait ~1 hour (sleep once or fast travel) and new ones appear immediately.
– Unlimited Farming: Grind artifacts, mutant kills, and escorts non-stop for that sweet artifact-hunting gear or faction rep.
– Configurable? Future updates may add .ini tweaks for custom timers (1h, 4h, instant, etc.).
Installation
Manual Install (Recommended for Simplicity)
– Download the mod archive.
– Extract the .pak file(s).
– Navigate to your game directory:
– C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl\Stalker2\Content\Paks\
– Create a ~mods folder if it doesn’t exist.
– Copy the .pak file into ~mods.
– Launch the game – mods load automatically!
Pro Tip: For best results, install on a new save or after letting all vendor timers naturally expire (no active quests). Backup your saves!
Compatibility
– Highly Compatible: Works with 99% of mods since it only touches quest config files.
– Potential Conflicts: Other quest timer mods (e.g., “No Quest Delay”, “QuestTimer”). Disable/uninstall those first.
– Tested With: Popular mods like loot overhauls, UI improvements, and weapon packs.
– Game Versions: Supports latest patch (1.8+). Check for updates if issues arise.
– Platforms: PC only (Steam/Epic/Game Pass).
Known Issues & Troubleshooting
– Quest Glitch: Rapid repeating might rarely cause a quest to “stick” – save before turning in, reload if needed.
– No New Quests? Ensure you’ve waited 1h in-game and closed/reopened vendor dialogue.
– Bugs? Report on the Nexus page with your game version, mod list, and save file.
– Uninstall: Delete the .pak file from ~mods – no residual effects.
Changelog
– v1.0.0 (Initial Release): Reduced all major timers to 1h. Full vendor support.
