Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl boasts a diverse arsenal, allowing players to tailor their loadout to their preferred combat style. Beyond standard firearms, unique weapon variants with enhanced stats and modifications exist, one of which is the Cavalier sniper rifle. This unique weapon features a red-dot sight instead of a traditional scope, making it exceptionally effective at close to medium ranges. This guide details its acquisition.
Acquiring the Cavalier Sniper Rifle in Stalker 2
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 stash. Entering via the secondary entrance will prove convenient.
Accessing the Warehouse
Upon entering the Duga base, navigate towards the Military Unit building (as indicated on your map). Circumvent the building to reach the greenhouse at its rear. Exercise caution, as two Pseudogiants patrol this area and will engage aggressively. Approach the greenhouse carefully to avoid confrontation.
Proceed through the greenhouse into the warehouse. Be prepared for a rodent infestation; numerous rats will attack upon entry. Utilize the elevated platforms at the warehouse's rear for a tactical advantage. Consider using a grenade to eliminate the swarm swiftly.
Retrieving the Cavalier
After clearing the rats, examine the warehouse ceiling above the greenhouse entrance. Locate the yellow-painted wooden boards. Destroy these boards using your weapon; the Cavalier sniper rifle will drop down.
Collect the rifle and safely exit the Duga base. Further enhancements are available from Screw, the technician at Rostok base. The Cavalier offers exceptional damage and accuracy, further boosted by upgrades and modifications. Its red-dot sight makes it an ideal choice for players who prefer a scope-less sniper rifle, providing effectiveness in close to medium-range engagements.
