Stalker 2: How To Get The Unique Cavalier Rifle

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, and the Cavalier sniper rifle is a prime example. This distinctive weapon features a red-dot sight instead of a traditional scope, making it exceptionally effective at close 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 the Military Unit. This warehouse connects to a greenhouse. If you've previously retrieved the Journalist stash in Duga, accessing this area should be straightforward via the secondary entrance.

Accessing the Warehouse

Upon entering Duga, navigate towards the Military Unit, as marked on your map. Circumvent the building itself to reach the greenhouse at its rear. Beware of two Pseudogiants patrolling this area; they're aggressive and will attack on sight. Proceed cautiously to avoid an unnecessary confrontation.

Once inside the greenhouse, you'll enter the warehouse. Be prepared for a swarm of rats upon entry; they'll inflict damage quickly. Utilize the elevated green platforms at the warehouse's back to evade them, or employ a grenade to eliminate the infestation.

Retrieving the Cavalier

After dealing with the rats, examine the warehouse ceiling above the greenhouse entrance. You'll spot yellow-painted wooden boards. Destroy these boards using your weapon; the Cavalier sniper rifle will drop from above.

Retrieve the weapon and safely exit Duga. Further upgrades for the Cavalier are available from Screw, the technician at Rostok base. Its high damage and accuracy, further enhanced through upgrades and modifications, make it a formidable weapon. The Cavalier's red-dot sight caters to players who prefer a scope-less sniper rifle experience, proving effective in close to medium-range engagements.
