Turns out that in a pitch-black corner of a pitch-black passage a couple of levels back, there is a hidden path that leads to a tiny room where the sniper rifle can be found. I tried until I couldn't get any further, and then went and consulted the internet. Soon I found myself in over my head with too many zombies, too little ammo, and I was collecting ammo for a sniper rifle which I didn't have. But a little later I got a chance to play the mod, so I started from the beginning. I watched a friend of mine play the mod (Part 2 I think) and he got stuck regularly in rooms because he couldn't figure out where to go next. Because They Hunger most certainly is shit.
