Yes, you don't spawn with guns anymore. You must work to get a weapon, I can see why the development removed it and I support the removal. It's actually fairly easy to get a gun, sneak around zombies and loot big cities and general stores such as in Elektro and you'll be set. There's still a risk of dying though from players hiding waiting to get some newbie kills against the coast. The "no entry bin/weapons" is just a false warning, ignore it and play the game. Guns will spawn, you just have back luck in the places that you loot.
