The sole variant of RPG available in Stalker 2 is the RPG-7U. According to the lore, this launcher was initially discovered in military depots before eventually appearing in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone.
To acquire it, you must complete several early main missions and unlock the Wild Island region. Importantly, accessing a building is not necessary to locate an RPG-7U. Instead, proceed to the Stash situated directly north of the Shelter in the Wild Island region.

To locate a technician, visit the base camps situated in different locations. Engage with the technician and select the "Upgrade" option to access a menu. Then, choose the RPG-7U and initiate the repair process using the necessary Coupons.
The weapon boasts an impressive range and decent accuracy. While the damage it inflicts is distributed over an area, it remains a practical option for eliminating multiple enemies clustered together in a single location.
