The Beretta 92FS (named Martha in-game) is a popular pistol chambered to use 9x19mm parabellum rounds; it is made by Beretta arms, based in Italy. It appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

Appearances

Shadow of Chernobyl

Characteristics

A great pistol, it is the most powerful handgun chambered for the 9x19mm round. It has a good amount of damage, handling and rate of fire. However, the durability is very poor, making it jam frequently. The weapon can be fitted with a silencer, but this greatly decreases its damage. Although more common later on, it is originally so rare that it is unique, only being carried by a single character in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

Acquisition

It is found only with Bullet's partner who needs rescuing from the Bandits. If he is rescued, he returns to the campsite near the entrance to Rostok in the Garbage and there is a slight chance he will be killed by incoming Bandit attacks.

Clear Sky

Characteristics

The Martha's stats are changed greatly during Clear Sky. The Martha now has the best handling for any 9x19mm handgun while retaining an impressive rate of fire. Even without upgrades, it is entirely capable of being fired at a rapid pace without loosing too much accuracy.

Unlike other pistols, when fired while aimed, the recoil only pushes the gun back rather than up. This allows skilled users to deliver multiple accurate shots to specific body parts of opponents in a very short time. However, Martha has the worst reliability from every pistols available in game (worse even than the PB1s).

Notable deployments

The Martha in Clear Sky is much more widespread and commonly employed by stalkers who use a Chaser 13 in tandem. It is also held by a good number of Mercenaries in the Dark Valley.

Upgrades

The weapon shares the same upgrade as most pistols and is cheap to maintain, but only a limited amount of technicians can upgrade it. The technicians who can upgrade it include Yar, Thunderov, Garin and Aydar.

Call of Pripyat

Characteristics

This weapon also appears in Call of Pripyat, mostly retaining its stats from Clear Sky, but apart from the full-auto upgrade, it's inferior in every other aspect to the Walker P9m and .45 caliber pistols.

Acquisition

You can find the pistol in a stash in the front of the truck by the dock cranes. Sometimes you can find it as a drop from other stalkers.

Upgrades

This is the only 9x19mm handgun capable of fully-automatic fire with the 3rd tier upgrade, giving it the highest rate of fire of any pistol in the game once fully modded. Its caliber can also be changed to use the more common 9x18mm rounds, at the expense of durability.
