No Guns?

[tooslow]

I've been SP for a while now. I've been doing the "start with nothing, do good, get good stuff, get over confident, die, start over" thing since the beginning. What I am finding now is, I can't find guns? Same progression, same places, I'm running around with everything as usual, except no guns to loot. I've done airport, several bunkers, the last couple days, and I have found one pistol, and one AK. That's it. I started a new character because I thought maybe now the game knows I've been to every bunker on the map?, nope. I paid the extra, I've been telling my friends, but they will be frustrated like I am that you can't find a gun to go with all the ammo, scopes, etc,, that you have found to go with it.... Really, I can't fine a gun now anywhere....

I mostly play on small MP servers with varying loot settings. But, the town in the bottom of C3 has a police station that you can often find a pistol, magazines, and ammo. they should respawn in about 15-ish minutes (not positive about SP).

The military camp just west of there will randomly have a military weapon or hunting rifle, or something of interest.

South east of there, the castle is usually good for getting geared up with bows, kar98, hunter rifles, packs, and ammo.

The basic training camp is good for more military weapons, but you need to deal with the mechs.

try the police stations in every town , camps , small base or wait for the lootdrops.

or just open the list and spawn what you need ..

or get some scrap and build some

I appreciate the replies. I don't need newb advice. I'm asking if any SP players have noticed that there are not a lot of weapons to loot in the usual places anymore.

What "usual" places are you talking about?

I play Singleplayer almost exclusively, and i'm consistently finding guns in police stations, hunting stands, and military facilities.

oh crap, I dint mean answers from newbs, I meant answers for newbs....

Let me say it so (but multiplayer)
I found yesterday in 10 Hours 3 War rifles (4 if you count the m82 in)
and 3 the 200 Hours before

Means the droprate is unsteady

Its possible that you are simply having a stroke of bad luck. Play for a tad longer, and search in areas that you would find guns in in real life (i.e. Military bunkers). In military bases you can find advanced weaponry like automatic rifles, police stations tend to house handguns and/or the occasional shotgun, while houses and cabins occasionally have .22 rifles.

yea darth, i did the rounds this week of the usual places, and didnt find much. Airport, bunkers in the middle of the map. Places I loaded up before, now no guns... I just wanted to see if its just me or if they changed something

[tooslow]

lol Darth, I'm not a newb. I am noticing a difference....

Could be a glitch i guess, but it really seems that you are having just a little bit of bad luck. When it comes to loot in this game, its sort of RNG.

There have been times where i can search one town and come out with 5 rifles and a backpack full of ammo, and then there have been other times where i search the entire airfield or naval base, and come out with nothing.

so you think its just a dry spell? Well, thats why I posted. I have noticed lately that I dont' find many guns.. Thanks for responding. I'll try some other places I know were good and see what happens....

theres a bunker guarded by one robot, in the mountians. you just wait till he does to the other side and run into the bunker. i just found 3 pistols, and an M16 in there on SP. Also bootcamp in C3 and the hunting fort right north of it. also like people said police stations and almost every church has a pistol in it.

[Gwizzz]

Check churches.. often pistols and mags are near the alter and rifles in the tower. And check those wrecked cars too! Not just scrap metal in there. I've cleared the factory and military bunker several times over days and never found a weapon (other than pistols). But I have found several different rifles in the church tower.

Police stations have a lot of 9 mm pistols, knives, batons out the wazoo, and sometimes backpacks .

The bunker was good for several gun/bow attachments, military clothes, and a ton of green bandages.. so don't skip on them. There is often a top side hatch on the bunkers so if you can't go through the front door.. look for the hatch. And clear puppets from around the bunker before you decide to come out all laden down with "phat lewt".

Craft a bow and a dozen wooden arrows. Shoot puppets around the bunker from a safe distance to either kill them or pull them to you. If they run towards you, swap to a melee weapon and finish them off.

What I find hard to obtain are the ^%$# magazines. I mean really? Who owns a gun with no mag (or ammo) in it?

From much and good to less and worse
* Special Military zones like airfield, naval base
* Deer stands
* Churches (depend strongly on the church)
* Some Civil houses (like hotels in warm biome)
* Police stations
* Bunkers
* Safe zones

Magazines = WW2 Bunker
