How to Find The Riemann in STALKER 2 & Solve the Safe Code

As a seasoned Stalker, I’ve traversed the treacherous lands of The Zone more times than I can count. My fingers are calloused from gripping rusty AKs and my eyes have grown weary from the ever-present radiation haze. But nothing quite compares to the thrill of discovering a unique weapon, like the elusive Riemann SMG in Stalker 2.


In STALKER 2, acquiring a rare and exceptional weapon can significantly alter your gameplay experience. Should you stumble upon an exclusive item, it’s advisable to set aside your old, worn-out AK or antiquated PTM pistol and instead opt for something more contemporary. That’s precisely what this guide is designed for.

In this tutorial, I’ll guide you on locating the Riemann, an exceptional and alluring Submachine Gun in STALKER 2. Furthermore, I’ll provide assistance in opening the nearby lockbox associated with the Riemann – quite a challenge to master!

Where is the Riemann in STALKER 2?

In STALKER 2, you can acquire the Riemann SMG if you follow these steps: Begin by completing the “Seek and You Shall Find” quest, which is available early in the game at Zalissya. This quest guides you to various secret caches hidden by a journalist. Each cache contains a special weapon or outfit. This method is the most straightforward way to obtain top-tier weapons and gear in STALKER 2.

To the north of the Lesser Zone in STALKER 2 lies Rostok, one of the larger settlements in the game. Immediately north of this bustling area is an unlabeled location where you’ll find one of the ‘Journalist Stashes’, hidden treasures scattered throughout The Zone.

In this area, you’ll encounter a barracks enclosed by (and teeming with) peculiar gravitational fluctuations. Battle your way past these anomalies, and at the back of the room, as indicated in the map screenshot where I’m currently positioned, you’ll come across a bagpack (backpack) holding the Riemann SMG and a heap of ammunition.

Beyond what’s immediately apparent at this spot, there are hidden treasures waiting for you. Should you delve into the barracks, you’ll stumble upon a safe adorned with a keypad. Accompanying it is the remains of an ancient soldier and his PDA. The retrieval of the PDA will uncover a three-part passcode that has been divided among a group of soldiers.

As a fan, I’m sharing this adventure: The initial piece of the code is here with me, and the second segment is located at the far end of the barracks. However, the third part of the ‘safe’ code near Rostok is quite the challenge to obtain. To grab it, you should make your way towards the bunker southwest of these barracks (indicated by the ? in the screenshot) and delve into the obscurity below.

As you make your way into the bunker, you’ll encounter a formidable Burer – one of STALKER 2’s most challenging mutants to defeat. After vanquishing him, proceed up the metal staircase and discover a skeleton perched on top of a heap of crates and pallets at the room’s farthest corner. This discovery will complete the third and final segment of the passcode needed for the safe.

I’m off to my quarters now, where I’ll enter the secret code on the safe to lock away an extraordinary weapon design and a pile of valuable resources.

Instead of simply handing over the code, I’ll offer you a hint – remember the pecking order among the soldiers and their respective ranks; that should guide you to entering the code correctly.

Happy hunting!
