Mrozny 91 in Permafrost: Where to Find the Rifle Under the Water Tower

One Mrozny 91 waits in an unlocked Bag on an icy ledge at the foot of House Camp's Water Tower.

One Mrozny 91 waits in an unlocked Bag on an icy ledge at the foot of House Camp’s Water Tower.

Permafrost’s bolt-action sniper rifle, the Mrozny 91, has a pickup sitting in plain sight inside House Camp. Deep in the camp’s central Cold Zone, a raised shelf of ice beneath the Water Tower holds a container labeled “Bag”. No key or tool is required to open it.

Quick answer: Fast travel to the Church, run to the Water Tower in the middle of House Camp, climb the ice ledges under the steel legs, open the Bag and take the Mrozny 91. Go in warm, because the spot sits in Bone-Chilling Cold.


What you need before you go

What you do need is body warmth to spare, because the ledge sits inside Bone-Chilling Cold and your temperature drains fast while you are up there.

  • No key or tool. The Bag opens with a simple interaction.
  • Enough body warmth to climb up, grab the rifle, and climb back down.
  • 7.62x54mmR ammo from elsewhere if you want to fire it. None comes with the rifle.

How to reach the Mrozny 91 under the Water Tower

Begin at the Church of House Camp; selecting “Fast Travel: Church” takes you straight there. From the Church, the frozen Water Tower is about a minute’s run away at the camp’s centre, surrounded by tall ice spires.

Make for the playground bordering the frozen centre. Its swings, climbing frames, and stone campfire ring mark the spot. The COLD ZONE banner appears as you approach.
Go through the barbed-wire-topped chain-link fence and continue toward the tower’s base. On the approach, a frozen body lies beside a large ice block; use it to confirm you’re on course.
Work up the snowy, icy ledges to the tower’s underside. Passing beneath its steel cross-braced legs brings up the WATER TOWER area banner, accompanied by a globe icon.
On the elevated ledge near a tower leg, the Bag sits over the chain-link fence among ice pillars. Aim at it; when “Bag / Press F Open” appears, press F to open it.
Collect the full contents: a Mrozny 91 and 1 Cloth, but no ammunition. The notifications show “+1 Mrozny 91” and “+1 Cloth”.

Retrace your route and make the playground campfire ring your first stop; warm up there before doing anything else. The ring must have fuel to burn.

Watch your temperature on the ledge

At the Bag, the banner displays BONE-CHILLING COLD, while the HUD thermometer reads roughly -46°C to -47°C. Your body warmth falls fast in this area, so grab the item and move on instead of lingering.

After the climb, the playground campfire ring is the closest warming spot. Take fuel along so the fire is ready to light when you return.

Loading and firing the rifle

Assign the rifle to your hotbar and equip it. Its name appears in the HUD’s lower-right corner, above an ammo display formatted as loaded over spare. If you have 7.62x54mmR ammo in your inventory, the loaded count is 5.

With the rifle equipped, the HUD shows two controls: Aim uses the right mouse button, and Shoot uses the left. Aiming shifts the camera over your shoulder to look down the barrel. Firing lowers the loaded count by one; chambering another round uses one from your spare ammo and restores the loaded count to 5. Two shots brought down a Red Deer at the tree line, and its carcass displayed the prompt “Dead red deer”.


Confirming you grabbed it

You know the pickup worked when the “+1 Mrozny 91” line appears on screen and the rifle shows in your inventory with a full durability bar. From there, equip the rifle; you’ll need 7.62x54mmR ammo from elsewhere to fire it, since the Bag contains none. Keep in mind this is one confirmed Mrozny 91 in House Camp, not the single place the rifle exists, and container contents can shift between builds.
