In the diverse arsenal of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, players can discover uniquely modified weapons offering distinct advantages. The Cavalier sniper rifle is one such standout, a special variant boasting a red-dot sight instead of a traditional scope. This makes it exceptionally effective at short to medium ranges, a refreshing change for sniper rifle enthusiasts. Let's explore how to acquire this powerful weapon.
Acquiring the Unique Cavalier Rifle in Stalker 2
The Cavalier sniper rifle awaits within the Duga base, specifically in a warehouse connected to a greenhouse near the Military Unit. You might already be familiar with this area if you've previously retrieved the Journalist's stash. Accessing the area through the secondary entrance should prove straightforward.
Navigating to the Warehouse
Upon entering the Duga base, locate the Military Unit on your map. Instead of entering the building, circle around it to reach the greenhouse at the rear. Be warned: two Pseudogiants patrol this area and will attack on sight. Proceed cautiously to avoid unnecessary conflict.
Once you reach the greenhouse, enter carefully. Inside the connected warehouse, prepare for a swarm of rats. To avoid taking damage, utilize the elevated green platforms at the back of the warehouse. A well-placed grenade can quickly dispatch this rodent infestation.
Retrieving the Cavalier
After clearing the rats, examine the warehouse ceiling above the greenhouse entrance. You'll spot wooden boards painted yellow. Shoot these boards with your weapon to dislodge the Cavalier sniper rifle, which will drop from above.
Retrieve your prize and safely exit the Duga base. Further enhance the Cavalier's already impressive damage and accuracy by visiting Screw, the technician at Rostok base, for upgrades and modifications. The Cavalier's red-dot sight makes it ideal for players who prefer a scope-less sniper rifle experience, excelling in close to medium-range engagements.
