The Sniper VLA is a unique weapon featured only in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. It is a customized VLA Special Assault Rifle.

DescriptionEdit

The Sniper VLA is a customized VLA Special Assault Rifle. Unlike the stock model, the Sniper VLA can be fitted with a PSO-1 scope, although this is not supplied with the weapon. Once attached, the scope makes this gun ideal for sniping or assault missions, especially if stealth is a priority. It offers high accuracy, high damage with great armor piercing abilities, and it comes with an integrated silencer. It is easily a good replacement for a Vintar BC.

LocationEdit

This one of a kind weapon can only be acquired after doing jobs for General Voronin. After doing several of his quests, you will get a quest in which you are required to eliminate the Freedom members at the Bloodsucker camp in the Army Warehouses. The reward for this mission includes the Sniper VLA. Barkeep may rarely sell the Sniper VLA after completing all of his jobs.

NotesEdit

• This weapon is not in the other S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, since a PSO-1 scope can be fitted to the AS Val by default.
