Stalker 2: How to get Valik's AKM-74S

This rifle can be obtained during the Warlock's Debtor side mission. However, if you've already completed the mission and missed it, don't worry — you can still collect it later.

As you make your way to Valik's location to get the money that Warlock asked you to bring during the mission, you'll stumble upon a gang of bandits. Interact with them and pick a non-violent approach. Next, locate Valik's loot by climbing the water tower, where you'll find the AKM-74S rifle. Use this weapon to eliminate the bandits, rescue Valik, and complete the quest.

Getting the gun after the mission

In case you were unable to collect the gun during the Warlock's Debtor side quest, make your way to the same spot where the mission took place once again. For this, you need to go north of Zalissya. Here when you spot the water tank from the mission, head to the top using the ladder nearby to find a bag.

Collect the loot to get Valik's AKM-74S. If you prefer not to use the powerful scope, you can remove it and attach it to another compatible weapon in the game. However, we suggest keeping the scope, as it can come in handy during long-range battles while encountering multiple enemies.
