Maximum Sniper Rifle Guide – STALKER 2: Cost of Hope
To begin your search for the Maximum, travel to the CNPP area and make your way towards the location marked as Module IB.
Once you arrive at the location, look for a building up ahead and enter it.
After going inside, take the stairs on the right and continue upward. When you reach the top of the stairs, turn left and proceed toward the locked entrance.
This is where you’ll need to enter a security code to gain access to the room containing the unique weapon. The code is 20114.
After entering it into the keypad, confirm the combination. If the code is entered correctly, the locked entrance will open, and you will be able to move inside. Once the door has been unlocked, head into the room and look for the weapon waiting inside. The Maximum can be collected directly from this location.
The Maximum Sniper Rifle is unique, but its modifications make it suitable for short-range combat as well. This gives it a somewhat different role from what you might normally expect from a sniper rifle. After picking it up, you can inspect the weapon and check its available modifications and details as well.
