Sadly, you will not be able to find all of these weapons in every round of Dead Rails you start, so making good use of the starting weapons is crucial if you want to make it far. The Revolver + Ammo combo at the beginning is a tried and proven method, but saving money for better weapons is also a viable strategy. Sadly, you cannot buy all weapons, like the Vampire Knife, and you have to find them in the wasteland.

Where To Find Weapons in Dead Rails?

Most weapons in Dead Rails can be found in the starting town, where they can be bought for money, but some weapons have to be found in the wasteland and have a small chance of spawning. Here is a list of weapon locations:

• Vampire Knife: Low chance of spawning in a big city in the wasteland.
• Mauser C96: Spawns in buildings in the wasteland.
• Maxim Machine Gun: You can find and buy this weapon in the Gunsmith store for $125. Also spawns in buildings.
• Sawed-Off Shotgun: Chance to spawn in buildings in the wasteland. You can also buy it with Robux.
• Rifle: You can find and buy this weapon in the Gunsmith store for $75. Also spawns in buildings.
• Shotgun: You can find and buy this weapon in the Gunsmith store for $50. Also spawns in buildings.
• Revolver: You can find and buy this weapon in the Gunsmith store for $35. Also spawns in buildings.
• Axe, Shovel, Hammer, Pickaxe: You receive one of these at random as a starting weapon.

As some weapons are harder to get than others, you should tailor your strategy and playstyle around commonly available weapons that you have access to. Buying higher-cost weapons is easier with friends, so change up your strategy accordingly when not alone.
