The Hunter can be looted from a Journalist's Stash found inside a building west of the Bookstore in Prypiat. To enter the room with the stash, input the code, 2021, to open the keypad locked door. The stash will be found on the balcony next to a small generator.

Note: If you also want to get the Flash Drive that contains the Journalist's final message while also revealing both the keypad code and the location of the 13th Journalist's Stash, you'll need to collect the first 12 Journalist's Stashes.

How to Get to Prypiat

Getting All 12 Journalist's Stashes is Optional

The Journalist's Stash that contains the Hunter is the 13th (and final) stash you need to get during the Seek, and You Shall Find side mission. However, you do not need to collect the previous 12 Journalist's Stashes to get to the 13th stash.

As long as you have the code (2021), the location of the building, and Prypiat unlocked, then you can easily walk up to the building and enter the code to reach the Prypiat Journalist's Stash.
