How to get the Dnipro rifle in Stalker 2
For an assault rifle, the Dnipro has a high penetration rate, as well as an excellent rate of fire. All this, combined with a relatively light weight (3.72 kg), as well as available ammunition (5.45×39), makes this weapon one of the best options for completing the game.
The Dnipro is available for acquisition in various ways. You can purchase the rifle from a merchant in Pripyat (DK “Energetik”), as well as at the Yanov base, for a high price. We have described the options for getting Dnipro for free below.
On the cooling tower with the “Fire Tornado”
To find one of the free Dnipro rifle variants, head to the Gradirni region. You will find the desired item on the scaffolding in an inaccessible part of the tower with the anomaly “Fire Tornado”.
Climb the ladder outside the cooling tower on the south-eastern side and use the small anomaly to move to the desired point. Run along the wooden path to the left straight to the dead end, where one of the Dnipro copies will be located.
At the “Leshchina” facility
There is a second way to get the Dnipro for free. You can find another rifle in the east of the location Red Forest. Get to the Hazel facility and go down into the bunker to the right of it to pick up the key from the table.
Go back and follow the entrance to the facility itself. Once inside, be prepared to fight a lot of enemies.
Proceed forward through the facility, shooting back at the soldiers until you reach a large room. Climb the stairs on the left into the control room and press the red button to open the gate in your path. Beware of the controller, also in this room.
Go down from the wheelhouse and proceed further into the opened passage. Run along the tunnel to the end and turn into the room on the right. There, in the locker, you will find another rifle.
