"Stalker 2: Guide to Obtaining the Unique Cavalier Rifle"

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl boasts an impressive array of weapons, catering to various playstyles. Among these, you can uncover unique, named variants with special modifications or enhanced power, like the Cavalier sniper rifle. This distinctive weapon comes equipped with a red-dot sight instead of a traditional magnification scope, making it exceptionally effective at short to medium range. Let's explore how to acquire this unique weapon.

How to Get the Unique Cavalier Rifle in Stalker 2

To secure the Cavalier Sniper Rifle, head to the Military Unit within the Duga base in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The rifle is located inside a warehouse connected to a greenhouse. If you've previously visited the Duga base to access the Journalist stash, re-entering via the second entrance should be straightforward.

Getting Inside the Warehouse Near the Military Unit of Duga Base

Upon entering the Duga base, navigate to the Military Unit building as marked on your map. You won't need to enter the building itself but should proceed around it to reach the greenhouse at the back. Be vigilant, as two Pseudogiants patrol this area and will attack on sight. Approach the greenhouse cautiously to avoid a confrontation with these dangerous mutants.

Once inside the greenhouse, you'll find yourself in the warehouse. Be prepared for multiple swarms of rats that will immediately start attacking. To escape their nibbling, head to the elevated green platforms at the back of the warehouse. From here, you can safely throw a grenade to eliminate the rat swarms.

Break the Wooden Boards & Grab the Cavalier Rifle

After dealing with the rats, direct your attention to the warehouse ceiling above the entry connecting to the greenhouse. You'll notice wooden boards covered in yellow paint. Use your weapon to shoot these boards, causing the Cavalier sniper rifle to fall from above.

Pick up the rifle and make a safe exit from the Duga base. To further enhance the Cavalier's capabilities, visit Screw, the technician at Rostok base. The Cavalier boasts maximum damage and great accuracy, which can be further improved through upgrades and mods. For players who prefer a non-scoped sniper rifle, the Cavalier's red-dot sight makes it an excellent choice for close to medium range engagements.
