4DON 2019 - where's the revolver?

[Gazbeard]

In these forums and on other social media I have seen lots of comments saying basically the same thing ... "I have 140-ish revolver rounds but can't find the revolver".

I've not yet seen one post, video, or stream that says ... "Yaay I have the revolver", nor one that shows the revolver in game.

So the open question is ... Where do we get the revolver, or can we not, or is the revolver bugged in the loot list and not appearing?

Yeah, same here. I have only had it enough to loot all of CH, but nothing there.

Will need to hunker down for Days 2-4. Not sure a hatchet is enough to survive outside.

Same here. 75 rounds but no revolver. I've searched a good chunk of CH, PV, and ML so far, but nothing yet. I'd be surprised if it wasn't in the game - it might only spawn at one of the jack o' lanterns though.

I'd love to know where it is too.... got over 170 rounds for it and no pistola to put them in.

Pretty sure there is no revolver.  I did a day-long grind on day one, and fully explored the available regions, looting every structure, car, and hit up all the hot spots. Even found a bunker in mystery lake, although the one in PV eluded discovery.  I found 2 pumpkin caches in MT, ML, and CH, and a whopping 5 in PV....zero revolver.

I think 4DON is likely either scripted to use the rifle and only the rifle, as a bit of extra challenge (in that if you miss your first shot, you won't get a second), or because it was recycled from last year maybe it wasn't updated to include the revolver.  They suppress rifle spawns and manually insert them in specific locations, whereas rifle/revolver ammo share a spot on the loot table...so it's entirely possible it was an oversight.

Now that you mention this, that's most likely what happened.

I found all 6 pumpkin caches(CH - Waterfront cottages had a rifle), 15 gun cleaning kits, three flare pistols, two hacksaws, two hatchets, 5 knives, half a dozen prybars, 50 candy bars. Found a second rifle somewhere along the way with a ton of rifle and pistol ammo. No Revolver.

I suspect that @ajb1978 is probably correct.
