Stalker 2 has SMGs, ARs, Sniper Rifles–you name it. There are tons of Unique weapons in the game, like the Texan Shotgun and the Hunter Sniper Rifle, which is found in Pripyat . But we haven’t seen any hand cannons or revolvers in the game. The best secondary weapon for one-shotting enemies so far is Skif’s Upgraded Pistol. But what if I told you there’s a Unique Weapon Stash in Stalker 2 which features a revolver dubbed the “Rhino”? Here are all the locations of the Rhino Revolver Unique Weapon in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, along with the Location of the Buckshot Conversion Weapon Upgrade Blueprint.
Stalker 2: Rhino Revolver Unique Weapon Location 1 (Kharod and RAM-2 Location)
The Unique Rhino Revolver can be looted from an NPC named Hermes at a cave near the Choppers Field, which is West of the Rostok Base in the Rostok Region. Head to the Choppers Field and move north. You’ll spot a cluster of vehicles in a ditch. Climb down and you’ll find a cave site. Before heading to the cave site, make sure you have a high-capacity weapon, like I did. I used the Glutton LMG which outputs 500 rounds. Stand at the entrance and gun down the 2 Bloodsuckers in the cave.
Move through the cave and aim left to find another route at an elevation. Climb the ledge and navigate the route. Watch your step, as you can fall to your death due to a gap in the ground. At the end of the cave, you’ll find a dead NPC named Hermes. Loot his body to get the Rhino Revolver, the Kharod, and the RAM-2
Stalker 2 Rhino Revolver Location 2
The second location of the Rhino Revolver is at the Cement Factory Base in the Cement Factory Region. Head over to the trader named Wo Komisarov. The location of the trader is marked on the map. The trader sells the Rhino Revolver for 10025 Coupons. This seems like a lot but trust me, with all the weapon upgrades, it will become your go-to secondary weapon.
Free Rhino Revolver in Stalker 2: Location 3 (Liosvyi, Yaniv Region)
At the Lisovyi Location in the Yaniv Region, you’ll spot a house in the corner. Two gravity anomalies will cover the roof of the house. Vault onto the roof and clear the anomalies with a bolt and drop down. You’ll find a guaranteed free Rhino Revolver in the corner of the house and on a table.
Stalker 2 Rhino Revolver Buckshot Conversion Upgrade Blueprint Location
The Rhino Revolver has a dedicated Weapon Upgrade Blueprint called Buckshot Conversion, allowing you to use .12 caliber Shotgun Shells. This amps up the stopping power of the Rhino Revolver, turning it into the ultimate one-shot beast. The Buckshot Conversion Upgrade Blueprint is located at the Fairytale Pioneer Camp in the Burnt Forest Region.
Approach the Burnt Forest Pioneer Camp from the Northern Entrance and you’ll spot four dorms. Head to the backside of the first dorm on the left, and you’ll spot a ladder with an eye etched next to it. Climb the ladder to reach the roof of the dorm. Head to the front of the roof and you’ll spot a ledge at the far right corner. Inside the stash, you’ll locate the Buckshot Conversion Upgrade Blueprint for the Rhino Revolver.
Why The Rhino Revolver is The Best Weapon in Stalker 2
The stock Rhino Revolver is capable of one-shotting human beings, and Snorks. After getting the Buckshot Conversion Kit, you can one-shot nearly all mutants while sparing tons of buckshot ammunition. Another advantage is you can easily come across Buckshot ammunition in the Zone, making the Rhino Revolver the most reliable and best weapon in Stalker 2.
Conclusion
That pretty much wraps up our guide on how to find the Rhino Revolver Unique Weapon and it’s Buckshot Conversion Upgrade Blueprint in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The Rhino Revolver can easily be missed, but we’ve got you covered at Esports Eclipse.
