The Heckler & Koch universal self-loading pistol compact (named UDP Compact in-game) is a semiautomatic .45 pistol. 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.

Overview

This compact handgun was designed in Germany in 1989. The Variant used in all games is the USP compact chambered to use .45 ACP rounds, which has a smaller and lighter design in comparison to a regular USP. The USP compact is used by Veteran/expert members of Freedom, Loners, and Mercenaries in most games.

Appearances

Shadow of Chernobyl

In Shadow of Chernobyl, the USP Compact is heavily employed by veteran and Expert Freedom members as their sidearm and sold exclusively by Skinflint. The USP Compact has significantly better firing rate compared to other .45 caliber pistols and very light, weighing less than 1.00kg. However the USP seems to be susceptible to jamming, which makes it slightly unreliable in extended firefights.

If you buy or find a new one it will work fine, with a Silencer you are able to use it at great length. Maybe the best all around pistol in the game.

Clear Sky

In Clear Sky, the USP Compact is used by expert members of Freedom and some experienced members of the Mercenaries and Loners . It is still very light, weighing at less than 1.0kg and its magazine can be expanded by 4 bullets to have a total of 12 bullets per magazine. It has a better firing rate than other .45 caliber pistols and retains a degree of accuracy and power, though not as powerful nor as accurate as a Colt M1911. Most technicians can upgrade the USP Compact and it is sold only by Ashot, though you can salvage one early in the game while fighting the mercenaries in the Dark Valley. You can only buy this pistol from Ashot after attaining a friendly reputation with Freedom.

Call of Pripyat

In Call of Pripyat, the USP Compact is used by Mercenaries, Loners, Freedom and sometimes even Zombified Stalkers. Nimble can sell you a unique USP called March which used to belong to Wolfhound. It is one of the pistols that can be modified to have a new firing mode - in this case, fully automatic. It is the only .45 caliber pistol with this upgrade.
