How to beat a Chimera mutant in Stalker 2

Players will first encounter a Chimera mutant during main mission “Ad Astra Per Aspera”. in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. During the mission, fighting the Chimera is not necessary, as the main goal is to run away from it and reach the Clear Sky base. However, there are other encounters with the mutant either in the open world or during specific missions that will require you to defeat him, i.e. A Minor Incident or The Freedom Colosseum Side Quest in Stalker 2.

If you're facing a Chimera and want to defeat it, you'll need to have a large supply of ammo due to the mutant's high HP. You'll also need to drink a good amount of energy drinks to avoid running out of stamina while sprinting or jumping around the mutant.

Chimera attack patterns

Chimera has no special abilities like telekinesis or elemental attacks, but has a huge speed advantage. When you first approach the mutant, it will quickly start rushing after you almost immediately. After closing the distance, it will start to unleash its sharp claws at you, which also cause a bleed status effect.

Another attack Chimera loves to spam is the rush attack, which is extremely hard to avoid due to its high speed. If there is some distance between you and the Chimera, it will quickly rush at you, covering a large distance in an instant. This attack does a lot of damage to players, but thankfully doesn't cause bleeding.

The best weapons and strategies to use against a chimera

Due to Chimera's large hitbox, it is recommended to use a Assault rifle with a grenade launcher attachment and a Saiga D-12 rifle. The Chimera is a very agile creature that is always on the move, so the Saiga will help you fire several shotgun rounds into it quickly. Once the Chimera runs away from you, try to shoot it with a grenade launcher.

During the fight, it is recommended to stay on the move and not stand still for a long time. Once you understand Chima's attack pattern, managing it will become significantly easier.
