Start with Rickman’s shop in Rostok: open his trade window and look for the Self-Loading Infantry Carbine (SIC). If it is not in stock, check traders at the Water Treatment Facility and Chief’s Bunker. These locations are reported by current guides, but stock is not guaranteed in every player’s game.

Where to buy the SIC

Rickman in Rostok

Rickman in Rostok is the clearest first stop for the standard SIC. Travel to Rostok, find his shop, speak with him, and open the trade window to check his inventory. Nerd’s Chalk’s Aug. 21, 2026 guide identifies Rickman as a seller and describes this purchase route: Nerd’s Chalk’s SIC guide.

Other reported trader locations

If Rickman does not have the rifle, guides also report SIC stock at traders at the Water Treatment Facility and Chief’s Bunker. Check those inventories in your own game; the sources do not establish that any trader always carries it. See the location reports from KeenGamer and Quest-Knight.

What to check if the rifle is missing

  1. Confirm Update 2.0 is installed. The standard SIC is one of the weapons associated with that update, and the cited guides say it does not require the Cost of Hope expansion.

    #1 Best Overall
    S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Legends of the Zone Trilogy (Multi-Language)
    • The first console reported version of the survival horror FPS S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series that has sold over 15 million units worldwide
    • Chornobili, its tragedy doesn't end
    • Genre: Open World FPS
  2. Search the trade inventory for “SIC” or “Self-Loading Infantry Carbine.” Older Update 2.0 references used “SKP” for the same weapon, so that name may appear in older guides.

  3. Check Rickman first, then inspect the Water Treatment Facility and Chief’s Bunker traders. The guides report these locations but do not establish a guaranteed stock schedule or comparable availability odds.

The standard SIC and expansion-specific unique weapons are separate acquisition cases. Do not assume that buying the expansion is necessary for the standard rifle, or that a hidden unique variant is a guaranteed substitute.
