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

In *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*, the diverse arsenal at your disposal means you can tailor your weapon choices to your preferred playstyle. Among the standout options are the unique, named weapons that boast special modifications or enhanced power. One such weapon is the Cavalier, a sniper rifle that swaps the conventional magnification scope for a red-dot sight, making it exceptionally lethal at short to medium ranges. Here's your guide to acquiring this special weapon.

How to Get the Unique Cavalier Rifle in Stalker 2

To secure the Cavalier Sniper Rifle, head to the Duga base in *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl* and make your way to the Military Unit. The rifle awaits inside a warehouse connected to a greenhouse. If you've previously accessed the Journalist stash at Duga, re-entering through the second entrance should be straightforward.

Getting Inside the Warehouse Near the Military Unit of Duga Base

Upon reaching the Duga base, navigate towards the Military Unit as indicated on your map. Rather than entering the building, circle around to the back where you'll find the greenhouse. Exercise caution as two Pseudogiants patrol the area and will engage you on sight. Carefully approach the greenhouse to sidestep these formidable foes.

Once inside the greenhouse, you'll emerge into the warehouse. Be prepared for an immediate threat: swarms of rats will appear and begin to drain your health. To evade them, climb the elevated green platforms at the back of the warehouse. A well-placed grenade can effectively dispatch the rat swarm.

Break the Wooden Boards & Grab the Cavalier Rifle

After dealing with the rats, turn your attention to the ceiling above the greenhouse entrance. You'll notice wooden boards painted yellow. Use your weapon to shoot these boards, causing the Cavalier sniper rifle to drop down.

Secure the weapon and make a safe exit from the Duga base. To enhance your new acquisition, visit Screw, the technician at Rostok base. The Cavalier boasts maximum damage and impressive accuracy, both of which can be further optimized with upgrades and modifications. For players who prefer a scope-free sniper experience, the Cavalier, equipped with a red-dot sight, is perfect for dominating close to medium-range engagements.
