Discover the Secret: Unlocking the Cavalier Rifle in Stalker 2

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 are scattered throughout the game. The Cavalier sniper rifle is one such exceptional find. This unique weapon features a red-dot sight instead of a traditional scope, making it incredibly effective at short to medium ranges. Here's how to acquire this powerful rifle.

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 may already be familiar with this area if you've previously retrieved the Journalist's stash. Entering through the secondary entrance will provide easy access.

Accessing the Warehouse

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

Enter the greenhouse; it leads directly into the warehouse. Be prepared for a swarm of rats upon entering. To avoid their relentless attacks, utilize the elevated green platforms at the warehouse's rear. A grenade will quickly dispatch the rodent infestation.

Retrieving the Cavalier

After eliminating the rats, examine the warehouse ceiling above the greenhouse entrance. You'll spot yellow-painted wooden boards. Shoot these boards with your weapon to dislodge the Cavalier sniper rifle, which will fall to the ground below.

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. For players preferring red-dot sights over traditional scopes, the Cavalier provides a versatile and powerful option for close to medium-range engagements.
