Challenge - Nomad

[nicko]

Are their rifles or guns in this challenge? I am finding lots of ammo but no guns. Guess not it seems, time to make a bow and arrow.

I don't think there are any guaranteed spawns that I've noticed...
I think you just kind of have to keep looking. 

I know that's not the answer you're looking for, but sometimes the RNG is just cruel.

The good news is there are rifles in the Nomad challenge 😄, the bad news is there are no locations that will have a 100% guaranteed rifle spawn 😞. There is a list of known spawn locations for each map at https://thelongdark.fandom.com/wiki/Hunting_rifle. For convenience I'll copy them here, though they are only current as of this post (20 July 2020). Good luck with the challenge!
