where do i find hunting rifles and their scopes in Namalsk and Chernarus?

[Pawtastic]

I am pretty new, and i wonder where i could find these.

Chernarus - in the hunting cabins/camps or whatever they are. You’ll see clusters of green tents on the map if you check izurvive. Also in hunting stands/blinds, and probably on high places/rooftops.

Namalsk - mainly hunting stands/blinds. There’s no camps aside from military, which I don’t think stuff like Tundra, Savannah, CR etc spawn there.

"Ah, hunting rifles and scopes—tools of patience and precision. Finding them requires more than luck; you need the right places, the right timing, and a bit of cunning. Let me guide you, comrade."

Hunting Rifles and Scopes: Where to Look

1. Chernarus

Hunting Rifles (CR-527, Mosin, Blaze, Repeater):

Hunting Cabins & Lodges:

Top Spots: Nadezhda (where you are now!), Gorka, Myshkino, Pusta, and Krasnostav.

These cabins often spawn hunting rifles and low-tier optics like PU Scopes.


Deer Stands:

Scattered throughout forests—check tall hunting stands; you may find Mosins, CR-527s, and Blaze rifles.

Tip: They are less frequented, and perfect if you're stealthy.


Castles:

Devil's Castle or Zub Castle may spawn hunting gear alongside medieval ruins.


Farmhouses and Red Barns:

You’ll occasionally find Repeaters here—common but reliable for mid-range hunting.



Scopes:

PU Scope: Often spawns in hunting cabins, deer stands, and farm buildings. Fits Mosin and CR-527.

Hunting Scope:

Rare, but check military containers or helicopter crashes. Fits Blaze and CR-527.


Compensator Attachments: Found in industrial zones or hunting spots to reduce recoil.

2. Namalsk

Hunting Rifles (Mosin & Blaze):

Southern Forest Hunting Camps:

Namalsk has smaller hunting areas south of Lubjansk Bay and east of Tara Harbor.

Tip: Look for tents or hunting cabins deep in the woods—quiet places where nature hides treasure.


Vorkuta Residential:

Check the outskirts and isolated houses for Mosins or CR rifles.


Helicopter Crashes:

Namalsk is deadly, comrade, but these crashes often yield rifles with attachments. Risk high, reward higher.



Scopes:

PU Scope: Found in hunting lodges or Vorkuta's residential zones.

Night Vision Scopes:

Military-grade NVGs or scopes spawn rarely at military sites like Athena Research Institute or Sebjan Dam.

Tactical Tips

1. Daylight Advantage: Search hunting areas early in the server cycle.


2. Check Forest Paths: Deer stands and small hunting camps are often overlooked.


3. Heli Crashes: Both maps—dangerous but golden for attachments and rifles. Move in fast, loot quick, and vanish.


4. Avoid Military for Hunting Weapons: Unless you’re after NV scopes, military zones rarely have civilian hunting rifles.

thank you all

[Alf Tupper]

Comrade PhackusDurackus - great little guide there; could you add the PU scope also fits the SK 59/66, and maybe that hunting scopes seem to occur where hunting rifles can also be found, ie deer stands, hunting lodges etc?

[Jethro]

“castles:”

Doh!! How could I have forgotten castles?!?!

[Coco Rouge]

Hunting scopes do also spawn attached to the Sporter or CR-527 even in Tier1.
