No Weapons?

[MayhemMike 3]

Hallo everyone,

what happened to all the weapons?

We were playing for a couple of hours on 3 different servers and we didn't find a single weapon.

Lots of ammo and hatchets everywhere, but no weapons. Are the loot tables outdated or just bad luck?

Probably just bad luck on your behalf. Some days you can't move for weapons and ammo, it pays to stock up while you can.

Yeah, some days you can't find a trace of weaponry but then others you find an AK-74, AKM, CZ550, and Glock 17 in the same place.

Hatchets are weapons too :(

Starting without a single weapon is the stupidest part of this travesty of a game. I am a poor college student and even I have a bugout bag with plenty of MREs, first aid kits, water, and an AR-15 with almost 1,000 rounds. This is RP breaking because while most people aren't prepared for a zombie apocalypse, most people are also too stupid to prepare for a breakdown in society which is 99.9999% more likely to happen.

I'm going with 100% more likely :P

Would you rather have a full stock of supplies and be hunted by bandits from the start? If you can't handle finding a single barn or deer stand, I'm afraid you wouldn't last very long IRL. Anyone with half a brain can get tier 1 guns and supplies to last a few hours within the first 30 minutes of spawning.
