How To Find the Gauss Rifle in Stalker 2

Once inside Pripyat, keep following the road until you find the Prometheus Movie Theater. Look for an open blue door, but don’t go inside. There is another door nearby, but this one is locked. The game technically wants you to go around and open in from the inside, but you can cheat.

Stand close to the locked door and roll down a grenade into the room. Remember, you need to roll the grenade, not throw it. Ensure you’re quite close to the door so the explosive will roll past the barricade and detonate inside.

I actually wasted five grenades before I successfully got into the building. Once you break the obstacles behind the door, you can enter from outside. Turn to your right, and you will find the Gauss Rifle on the wooden desk.

It is a very rare weapon that is only used within the zone. Instead of using regular ammo, it uses batteries, and it inflicts very high damage. The downside is that it has a very low fire rate, but it makes up for this weakness by having a high Range and Accuracy.
