Unveiled: Exclusive Guide to Acquiring the Cavalier Rifle in Stalker 2

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl boasts a diverse arsenal, letting players tailor their loadout to their preferred combat style. Beyond standard firearms, unique weapon variants with enhanced stats and modifications await discovery, including the Cavalier sniper rifle. This unique weapon, equipped with 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, specifically in a warehouse adjacent to a greenhouse near the Military Unit. You might already be familiar with this area if you've previously retrieved the Journalist's stash. Use the secondary entrance for easy access.

Accessing the Warehouse

Upon entering Duga, proceed towards the Military Unit building (as indicated on your map). Circumvent the building to reach the greenhouse at its rear. Beware of two Pseudogiants patrolling this area; they'll attack on sight. Proceed cautiously to avoid confrontation.

Once inside the greenhouse, you'll enter the warehouse. Prepare for a swarm of rats upon entry. Utilize the elevated green platforms at the warehouse's back to avoid their attacks, or employ a grenade to eliminate them swiftly.

Retrieving the Cavalier

After clearing the rats, focus on the warehouse ceiling above the greenhouse entrance. You'll notice yellow-painted wooden boards. Shoot these boards with your weapon to dislodge the Cavalier sniper rifle.

Retrieve the weapon and safely exit Duga. The Cavalier can be further upgraded by Screw, the technician at Rostok base. Its high damage and accuracy are further enhanced with modifications. The red-dot sight makes it a versatile choice for players preferring a scope-less sniper rifle, suitable for close to medium-range combat.
