Update 2.0 guns versus S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope guns
Update 2.0 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope add different weapon sets. This page covers the Update 2.0 models that have published fixed points: ARev, GP3A, and Fora-230. Search the Weapons layer for a named S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope gun. Other new models, quest rewards, and faction-locked variants may have no fixed map marker, so they are not presented here as map locations.
ARev location
Open the exact ARev marker. It marks a fixed ARev pickup near Rozyizhdzhe.
The marker uses the gun’s in-game name and position. Search the weapon if the direct link is lost, then select the result rather than scanning every weapon icon.
GP3A location
Open the exact GP3A marker. It sits near Conjoined Wagons on the current map.
GP3A appears in Weapons. Keep that layer active to see the marker and nearby gun context.
Fora-230 location
Open the exact Fora-230 marker. It marks a fixed pickup near Machine Tractor Station.
The fastest check is to open the direct point, confirm the nearby Location label, and copy the marker URL before leaving the map. That link keeps the selected point for the return trip.
How to read a zero weapon count
These counts cover fixed pickups only. A zero does not mean the weapon is absent from the game.
If a named gun shows zero, check its quest or faction acquisition in the game instead of looking for a fixed pickup marker.
Treat an empty search as a boundary of the current map data, not as proof that the item does not exist. Check the acquisition hint in the game, then return to the map only when you have a fixed place to visit. This prevents a long sweep of unrelated weapon pins for a reward that is delivered through dialogue, a quest, or a faction choice.
Selected examples from the unique-gun layer
Selected names currently visible in that layer include:
| Selected example | Selected example |
|---|---|
| SOFMOD | Clusterfuck |
| Drowned | Partner |
| Decider | Glutton |
| Rat Killer | Texan |
| Grom S-15 | Spitfire |
| Cavalier | Combatant |
| Labyrinth IV | Sotnyk |
| Whip | Gangster |
Open the unique-gun layer to see all 16 current markers. This layer covers guns from across the game, so it is not a checklist of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Cost of Hope‘s unique variants. Some DLC guns are quest rewards or faction-locked and have no fixed marker.
Search for a gun without covering the map
The Weapons layer has 479 points, so leaving every icon visible at full zoom produces dense clusters. Search by the exact in-game name first. If the name is not in the results, check the spelling; some rewards and miscellaneous pickups have no fixed marker.
Use Weapons with Locations for an area sweep. Use exact-name search and a selected marker for one gun.
For ARev, GP3A, and Fora-230, open the direct point before planning the route.
