STALKER 2 Heart of Chornobyl What Does Endurance Do
Endurance refers to the stamina stat in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. See an explanation on what Endurance does and ways to increase Endurance.

What Does Endurance Do?

Endurance Affects Stamina Drain and Stamina Recorvery

Endurance, as seen in Artifact descriptions, affects both stamina drain and stamina recovery. You can find the stamina meter below the health bar on the bottom-left corner of the screen.

By default, it takes 5 seconds to drain one stamina bar and 4 seconds for it to recover. Equipping Artifacts with Endurance effects reduces these durations.

Stamina regenerates over time as long as you are not running while the meter is refilling. If you are encumbered, the meter fills slower than usual once the carry weight limit becomes yellow or red on the inventory screen.

Drink Energy Drinks or Water to Restore Stamina

If you need to restore stamina instantly, you can drink water or energy drinks. You can buy these from Traders, particulary Barkeeps, in bases. You can also find them from corpses or from boxes, lockers, and tables when exploring.

Note that Energy Drinks induce hunger if consumed multiple times. Keep an eye out for the chicken leg icon above the health meter appears to see if Skif is hungry.
