In *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*, the diversity of weapons caters to every player's unique playstyle. Among the arsenal, you'll find not only standard weaponry but also unique (named) variants boasting special modifications or enhanced power. One such standout is the Cavalier, a sniper rifle that swaps the traditional magnification scope for a red-dot sight, making it exceptionally effective at short to medium range. Here's a detailed guide on how to acquire this remarkable weapon.

How to Get the Unique Cavalier Rifle in Stalker 2

To secure the Cavalier Sniper Rifle, head towards the Military Unit within the Duga base in *Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl*. The rifle awaits inside a warehouse adjacent to a greenhouse. If you've previously accessed the Duga base to retrieve the Journalist stash, re-entering through the second entrance should be a breeze.

Getting Inside the Warehouse Near the Military Unit of Duga Base

Upon entering the Duga base, navigate towards the Military Unit building, which is clearly marked on your map. Instead of entering the building, circle around to the back where you'll find the greenhouse. Exercise caution, as two Pseudogiants patrol this area and will engage you upon sighting. To avoid these dangerous mutants, approach the greenhouse with care.

Once inside the greenhouse, you'll find yourself entering the warehouse. Be prepared for an immediate threat: swarms of rats that will begin to nibble at your health. To evade these pests, climb onto the elevated green platforms at the back of the warehouse. From there, you can throw 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 that links the greenhouse to the warehouse. You'll notice wooden boards painted yellow. Use your weapon to shoot these boards down, and watch as the Cavalier sniper rifle falls from its hiding spot.

Secure the weapon and make a safe exit from the Duga base. To maximize its potential, consider taking the Cavalier to Screw, the technician at Rostok base, for upgrades. This sniper rifle boasts maximum damage and impressive accuracy, which can be further enhanced through modifications. Ideal for players who prefer a red-dot sight over a traditional scope, the Cavalier excels in close to medium-range combat scenarios.
