Where to find 0.50 cal weapons?

[Dreepa]

I am near the end of the game but seem to have missed any 0.50 cal weapons.

Got the ammo, but where can I find a weapon for that?

On that note: Haven't found a G36 either, but read it exists. Where?

G36 is in a cave full of crocodiles in the desert island far up the north corner somewhere. I dont remember the xact location. I never found the barret but it excists .I assume its a bossweapon .

yeah its kinda lame some stuff is like ultra rare i understand but im 75h in an haven't found 50. cals either or mortars for that matter but i have like 80 mortar shells go figure its sad they didn't implement a proper arms dealer you could access from the browser..

to buy stuff you have to remember like 25 sectors what the hell..

seems so weird that you are a professional merc agency but somehow your only source for equipment is looting dead guys and some hobos who sell stuff in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ village

I think all drops/boxes, other than from named NPCs, are random.
Both the G36 and .50cal sniper seem to be fairly rare.
I think you can modify the anaconda and/or the desert eagle to use .50cal ammo.

Nope thats random :D I had a Granade Launcher there...

Never saw any Barret sniper rifle. Maybe will see in next lone wolf run.

Yep. Loot is RNGesus territory except ofc for truly unique weapons and some containers on Ernie Island at the beginning

Anaconda can't be turned into using .50cal Ammo. Not sure about the Desert Eagle.
It would be odd though because .50 AE is not .50 BMG.
Then again, there are some offenders in the game that use the wrong ammo type aswell.
AK-74 for example using 7.62x39mm instead of 5.45x39mm because the latter just doesn't exist in the game.

I think the only weapon that definitely uses .50 is the Barrett.

It's almost like having a couple of persons enter a country discreetly is easier than smuggling huge arsenal of mil spec gear. :>

Yeah, only the desert eagle can be modified to use .50 cal ammo.

That makes me laugh. It's fine though. It's just... like mentioned, .50 AE and BMG are not the same lol.

I found in C20 underground you can have high level loot but you need to save scum to get it. So far i got when save scumming is either G36, Colt anaconda, Grenade launcher, M82, or HK21 and there are 3 loots that will have this. Make sure you SAVE SCUM BEFORE ENTERING the underground NOT when INSIDE underground

Not a guaranteed spawn - I cleared this cave and no .50

I'm almost done with my first playthrough and I've found a lot of great weapons and have tons of .50 ammo, but no rifle.

I think Twin Manors in a locked box above a gate? Maybe.

[Lightning]

All rng, on my 1st playthrough 0 50cals and 2nd around 3, but if you aren't playing the single save options save before entering landsbach for the first time to cheese the loot drops in the boxes it has a pretty good chance to drop m82s

I found a caliber .50 weapon in the nightclub in Landsbach.
