It is possible for a veteran Bandit to spawn along the main road in the Garbage with a Storming Obokan, but its integral grenade launcher is unloaded. The first time the player will usually be able to collect the weapon is likely from the Spetsnaz that assault Lab X-18 after the player takes the documents. The Obokan has 2 unique variants: the Sniper Obokan, with an improved scope permanently attached, and the Storming Obokan, which has an integral underbarrel grenade launcher and much higher reliability. It can only mount a PSO-1 scope, but it cannot mount a GP-25 grenade launcher.

On the other hand, the Fast-shooting Akm 74/2 has lower recoil and a higher fire rate, and is found in the early parts of the game.

The Obokan slightly surpasses the Akm-74/2 in terms of accuracy (making it the best candidate for a PSO-1 scope after the much harder to obtain Sniper VLA), but it has slightly longer reload times and starts to jam earlier than the Akm 74/2. Called the Obokan in Shadow of Chernobyl, it is the basic weapon of Duty and veteran Military stalkers, and members of the Monolith.
