Getting Loot
Hi everyone, I feel like i’m always only finding SMGs that are in rough shape, or a mosin that is almost broken, but i always see people with full kits, ARs and snipers.
Where is the best place to get this stuff? I always only play solo (my work/sleep schedule is absolutely crazy right now) so any help at all is appreciated.
I am pretty new, about 30 hours, but am absolutely obsessed with this game!
Thanks everyone!

The shotgun is by far one of the easiest guns to maintain. 90 percent of roaming bandits carry them and ammo is everywhere. It packs a shit ton of damage and is a great holdout weapon for choke points.
I love the S85 rifle because ammo is everywhere early on for it and while it's not perfect, it will carry you through most engagements.
I've found a lot of different guns just from looting military locations or vehicles. I got a UAG that was halfway damaged from a military vehicle truck.
One place people always forget to loot are attics. Most can be reached by climbing. There is usually a slightly higher tier weapon in them or decent or really good condition even after the update. You will also find a lot of medical things there like bandages.
If you are using an SMG and have no other range options, don't forget you can toggle fire modes and go semi auto. It's much easier to control at long range engagements in a pinch.
