Stalker 2 fans have been eagerly waiting for several important features to be added to the game, and one of those has just arrived. Update 1.6 introduces night vision goggles and an offset aiming mechanic, bringing new tactical options for players.
### Introducing Offset Aiming in Stalker 2
If you’ve ever found that your longer-range scopes become a hindrance in certain situations, then offset aiming might be the solution you need—well, kind of. There has been some confusion regarding how offset aiming works, mostly because it is currently tied exclusively to the new night vision goggles.
### How to Use Offset Aim
At least for now, you can only use offset aiming while wearing a pair of night vision goggles. Here’s how it works:
– Aim your weapon as you normally would.
– Press the **Alt** key on your keyboard (default) or the **PDA button** on your controller (default).
– This will shift your weapon into an offset aiming position, allowing you to peek around corners or obstacles without fully exposing yourself.
### Additional Details and Limitations
Interestingly, some weapons without scopes automatically default to offset aiming when you are wearing night vision goggles. There is also an upgrade available from technicians called **”NVG Adjustment”**, which allows you to use iron sights in a flush position rather than offset.
As for why offset aiming is currently limited to usage only with night vision goggles, it’s unclear. The most likely reason is that bugs arose when trying to implement offset aiming with different types of sights, so the developers restricted the feature for now to avoid issues.

Overall, this update adds a neat tactical element to Stalker 2’s gameplay. Hopefully, future patches will expand offset aiming availability beyond just night vision goggles, allowing more flexibility across all weapon types. For now, enjoy sneaking around in the dark with your new gear!
