In Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, the variety of weapons available caters to every player's preference, from standard firearms to unique variants with exceptional modifications. Among these, the Cavalier stands out as a special sniper rifle equipped with a red-dot sight, perfect for those who prefer engaging enemies at short to medium ranges. Let's explore how to acquire this distinctive weapon.

How to Get the Unique Cavalier Rifle in Stalker 2

To obtain the Cavalier Sniper Rifle, head to the Military Unit near the Duga base in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The rifle is located inside a warehouse adjacent to a greenhouse. If you've previously ventured into the Duga base to retrieve the Journalist's stash, accessing the area through the second entrance will be straightforward.

Getting Inside the Warehouse Near the Military Unit of Duga Base

Upon entering the Duga base, navigate towards the Military Unit building, which is marked on your map. Instead of entering the building, proceed around it to reach the greenhouse at the back. Be vigilant, as two Pseudogiants patrol this area and will attack on sight. Approach the greenhouse cautiously to avoid a confrontation with these formidable mutants.

Once inside the greenhouse, you'll find yourself in the warehouse. Be prepared for an immediate threat as swarms of rats will spawn and begin to drain your health. To escape the rats, climb onto the elevated green platforms at the back of the warehouse. Use a grenade to eliminate the rat swarm effectively.

Break the Wooden Boards & Grab the Cavalier Rifle

After dealing with the rats, direct your attention to the ceiling above the entryway connecting the greenhouse to the warehouse. You'll notice wooden boards painted yellow. Use your weapon to shoot these boards, causing the Cavalier sniper rifle to drop from above.

Secure the weapon and make a safe exit from the Duga base. To enhance the Cavalier's performance, visit Screw, the technician at Rostok base, who can upgrade it to maximize its damage and accuracy. With its red-dot sight, the Cavalier is an excellent choice for players who prefer not to use traditional scopes, making it ideal for close to medium-range combat scenarios.
