Weapons

From The War Z Wiki
Jump to: ,

Weapon availability is determined by how common an item is in the real world, with civilian weapons and handguns being the easiest to aquire (which doesn't necessarily mean that they're easy to find), and military grade weapons and explosives being considerably harder to find.

It has been established that finding ammunition for these weapons will be as much as three times as hard to find as the weapons themselves. Additionally, military weapons will only be found in military areas of the map

Weapons are in line with their real world counterparts and will have roughly the same attributes.

A player can equips two item at a times. One slot is reserved for a primary weapon and the other for secondary weapons such as handguns or melee weapons.

Weapons that are lying idly in the game world will be outlined with a blue glow to help players locate valuable loot.

[] Special Item Boxes

There are three "known" locations on the map where ITEM BOXES are known to spawn (these appeared shortly after the re-release of WAR Z on Steam)

Area 1) Hidden Forest area = Lowest level loot can be found in boxes in this locale.

Food, Water, Bandage, etc.

Area 2) Lima Bean Lake (South of Whitestone City) = Item boxes here (at wrecked car in lake) bear lower level weapons.

Metal Bat, Bat, Kruges ,Double Barrel, etc.

Area 3) West Boulder Meteorological Center = Check near Radar Tower and on top of stacks of pallets or near crates and around small buildings to find these prized Item Boxes with Top Tier Weapons !!

Honey Badger, Blaser, MP7, M107, etc.
