Nothing can help you as much as a good gun can in Stalker 2. While you throw bolts to fend off the anomalies, the gun is the only solution that works well against humans and monsters in the brutal land of the Zone. Here is the guide to obtain all the Unique Weapons hiding in the world of Stalker 2. While obtaining some of them will be easy others will require you to finish some side quests, or to buy the special edition of the game.
List Of All Unique Weapons In Stalker 2
Most of the weapons on the list are tied to the main quest, side quest, or deluxe version of the game. If you want to get your hands on all the Unique Weapons in the game, then you must own the Deluxe edition of the game. We have added details on these guns to separate them from those that can be obtained as part of the base game.
Unique Weapons From Deluxe Edition
Acquiring the Deluxe version allows you to gain access to a special quest titled Journalist’s Stash. There are 12 such locations spread across the Zone. While some of these give you armor, others will be a firearm you don’t want to miss. You must acquire a flash drive from your stash after you start the “Seek and You Shall Find“ side quest.
Unique Weapons From Stalker 2 Endings
Another major factor in the unique weapons is the endings to the game. If you have an ending in mind, then you will miss out on some of the gears in the game. The ending you decide to roll with will impact the accessibility of the unique weapons in the game. We have added the information on the ending Unique Weapon details right at the very end of the article for people who are not afraid of spoilers.
