When it comes to guns, the best weapons are what you get during the late game areas of Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Once you reach Yaniv Station, you can purchase the Dnipro from Wreck, which offers the highest rate of fire out of all guns. But what makes the weapon more powerful is that it can be upgraded if you have the money for it. You can also find some blueprints scattered around the Zone that can further help you out.
There are two blueprints to find for the Dnipro, and you can get them during the later stages of the game. In this guide we will show you how to get both blueprints for the Dnipro in Stalker 2.
Stalker 2 All Blueprint Locations For The Dnipro
You can locate both blueprints for the Dnipro while exploring Yaniv and Prypiat, and the only way to get to these places is to follow the storyline. Unless you know how to get to Prypiat early, and we have a guide to help you out with that if you wish to do it. We will start with the blueprint located in Yaniv, and then work our way toward Prypiat.
Blueprint #1: Extra Barrel Rifling
Effect: Armor Piercing Power +10%
Once you are in Yaniv, head over to Conjoined Wagons located on the western side of the city. From there, head a bit southwest by following the dirt path. There is a broken down train here that has fallen to its side, find the opening and get inside the train. Near one of the seats is a Stalker’s Stash with the Extra Barrel Rifling blueprint.
Blueprint #2: Caliber Conversion
Effect:
- Change Caliber to 7.63
- Damage Increase by 28%
- Recoil Decrease by -35%
From Yaniv, head all the way north towards Prypiat. Once here, navigate to the White House somewhere in the center of Prypiat. Enter through the northern entrance of the building, then make your way towards the shelves at the end of the room. There is a Stalker’s Stash right in the middle, but you need to find a way there by going through the maze of shelves. After locating the stash, you can collect the Caliber Conversion blueprint.
Dnipro Technician Location
You can visit Harpy first at Yaniv Station to have the Dnipro upgraded. You would have encountered her if you were visiting Wreck to purchase the gun in the first place. If she does not offer all the upgrades required, then you need to find Bolero inside the Enerhetyk Palace of Culture, Prypiat. It is best to go here to get all your late game weapons upgraded and also find new upgrades to purchase for some of your gear and weapons.
