The Zulu's RP-74 is a unique variant of RP-74 light machine gun featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
Characteristics
The ex-Dutyer known as Zulu uses his own variant of the RP-74. Compared to normal RP-74 Zulu's version has 50% increased magazine capacity and is much more reliable. However, like the Tank Machine Gun (a unique PKM featured only in Clear Sky), it weighs a great deal more.
Acquisition
Zulu's RP 74, mounted on a shelf, as seen in his Yanov cabin.
It can only be acquired in two areas - in the Pripyat Underground, if Zulu dies, and in Pripyat itself, if Zulu survives. The other party members in the Underground tend to prioritize such a valuable weapon, so the player must keep their eyes on Zulu - and if they don't mind being a jerk, killing the others or allowing them to die if they take it. Later in Pripyat, Zulu can be found fighting Snorks by the anomaly at the School building. If you help him win the battle, you can offer to bring him to the military base. After he arrives, you can talk to him and he will give you his RP-74. Before he arrives you can also buy the gun from him via the trade window. Zulu won't stay at the Military field base in Laundromat for long and if the player decides that he won't accompany Zulu to the base on foot he may not be able to obtain the shooter without trading.
Glitch
If you decide you won't accompany Zulu to the base on foot and buy his RP-74 from him, follow him to the Laundromat. Once he steps a foot through the door he will give you his RP-74 so you can have two of the unique weapon.
Trivia
- Even if the player has already obtained their rp-74,also will be on another shelf as an ornament.
