Stalker 2: How To Get The Unique Cavalier Rifle

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl offers a diverse arsenal, letting players select weapons suited to their style. Beyond standard firearms, unique variants with enhanced stats or modifications exist, including the Cavalier sniper rifle. This unique weapon, featuring a red-dot sight instead of a traditional scope, excels at close to medium range engagements. Here's how to acquire it.

Acquiring the Cavalier Sniper Rifle

The Cavalier is located within the Duga base, near the Military Unit. It's tucked away in a warehouse connected to a greenhouse. If you've previously retrieved the Journalist stash in this area, accessing the base via the secondary entrance should be straightforward.

Accessing the Warehouse

Upon entering Duga, navigate towards the Military Unit building (marked on your map). Circumvent the building to reach the rear greenhouse. Be wary of two Pseudogiants patrolling the area; they're aggressive. Proceed cautiously to avoid confrontation.

Enter the greenhouse; it leads directly into the warehouse. Prepare for a rat infestation upon entering. Elevated platforms at the warehouse's rear provide refuge. A grenade effectively eliminates the rodent threat.

Retrieving the Cavalier

After clearing the rats, examine the warehouse ceiling above the greenhouse entrance. Locate yellow-painted wooden boards. Shoot these boards to dislodge the Cavalier sniper rifle.

Once you have the Cavalier, you can exit Duga safely. Further upgrades are available from Screw, the technician at Rostok base. The Cavalier boasts high damage and accuracy, further enhanced through upgrades and modifications. Its red-dot sight makes it ideal for players preferring a scope-less sniper rifle experience in close to medium-range combat.
