Enhanced machine gun. Comes with a non-replaceable muffler.
― In-game description
The Akm 74/2U Special is an unique Akm 74/2U featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
Appearance[]
This weapon features a pinned, external suppressor that cannot be removed and far higher reliability, akin to the Noiseless Viper, the Viper 5 9x18 and the Storming Obokan, making all four guns the most reliable weapons of the game. Apart from this, it is no different than the standard Akm 74/2U.
Like all custom silenced weapons, the Akm 74/2U Special does not suffer from the 20% stat penalty caused by mounting a silencer on a weapon.
Despite this, the gun itself isn't very remarkable due to its already low damage and mediocre accuracy like its normal cousins, although can be a bit of an asset early in the game where assault rifles are still an uncommon sight. It is also a silenced weapon, which can be useful for missions requiring a bit of stealth and the rifle rounds it uses ensures that it can readily cut down lightly armored stalkers with a accurate burst.
Acquisition[]
The weapon is held by Bes, who is located in the Vehicle graveyard in the Garbage. Killing Bes will not always alert the other Loners near him. Thus, if one is feeling evil, killing Bes with a single headshot to obtain this weapon won't be too problematic. Alternatively, he may die in the Bandits' raid on the scrapyard, which allows the player to obtain the weapon without turning his squadmates hostile.

Trivia[]
- In the original Russian version of the game, the weapon is called "AKM 74/2U Spetsnaz".
