I need all gun spawn locations

[Enchiladasfortwo]

i cant find any for the life of me

 

[Leeanda]

Are you playing story or sandbox mode?   

[Enchiladasfortwo]

sandbox,stalker

 

[Leeanda]

I don't play stalker so I'm not sure . Have you tried the twm summit?  I'm not certain but it's a strong possibility.  Maybe the ash canyon mine?  These are rifles I'm thinking of though..  Revolver might be in the cannery at bleak but getting past t-wolves to find out is very risky .

@Enchiladasfortwo
Honestly, there are so many possible locations that it's just a matter of time before you come across one.  During my current run, in one region alone I found a rifle and three revolvers.

For the most part, it really comes down to careful exploration, and luck of the draw (on the part of the RNG, I mean).  When revolvers were first introduced, I had some bad luck and didn't manage to find one for three regions (ultimately finding one in Pleasant Valley).

If you'd like to concentrate on "potential" locations... I'd recommend using the maps that have been posted to steam, or the various regions' wiki pages:
Region | The Long Dark Wiki | Fandom
 

There are just too many possible locations for me to spend the time compiling a list... I know that's what you asked for, but I hope the maps will help you out just as well.

Which region are you in/ want to find a gun in? 

[SpanishMoss]

You can also use these maps of every region, however, they spoil the layout of every region, so only do this if you don't care about spoilers. These maps have possible firearms spawns in them

Both of those have a chance of the weapon prepper cache. If you can find it.  

Ml ,try trappers cabin or the lookout tower. Or under the dam bridge?

The general formula for stalker is that every region will have one rifle, and 0-2 revolvers (not counting preppers  caches). So if you can't find a rifle at one listed spot, try checking all of them, at least one should have what you're looking for.

I got rifle

Just on the hunt for a revolver

I think the only guaranteed rifle spawn is

in the cave under the broken bridge in Desolation Point.

 

And I am pretty sure that there is a guaranteed firearm spawn

at Signal Hill.

 

Rifles can usually be found at some major landmarks of each region, and revolvers are added in all over the place. You can even find revolvers in the snow next to frozen corpses!

I've found rifles next to corpses outside but never a revolver.. 

[Glflegolas]

There's up to 2 revolvers next to corpses in the Hushed River Valley.

Ah thanks.  I don't go there ,even when I used to nip in there I never found corpses.

[Glflegolas]

Not quite sure how you missed the corpses - they're everywhere. The only way you could've missed them is if you never went north of Cloudtop Falls.

[Leeanda]

It's been a long time since I was in there and when I did it was very brief . That or I didn't look because it was going to be Astrid's final resting place.

No guarantees spawns, just like no guarantees in life…. “Google” and the stream community maps will have the answers you’re looking for…

I stand corrected.  
or sit corrected…. climb corrected??!?  
Yes, always at the summit.  Usually at the hunters lodge in BR and the homestead in PV.  
 

“It was Astrid in the Farm Library with the Rifle!!”

Ahhhh but you can never have too many guns! 🤣

 I’ve begun to set up small “camps” throughout each region and I try to have a firearm with rounds and a bow with arrows at each locale.  Specifically because at some point i will need to travel to BI or BLK to craft ammo.  Since weight is an issue I leave rifles/revolvers at my camps and carry a flare gun and bow during long distance travel.  
 

speaking of guaranteed spawns, there is ALWAYS a flare gun at the train car in the bottom of the ravine transition.  Even on interloper.

That's true🙂.   

That's a good idea to have them spread around..  I do try to do the same with the guns too,but the bow isn't my strongest skill so I tend to leave it at my main base only.. luckily I've not run out of ammo on a run yet so it hasn't become a necessity.. 

Always a flare gun but no shells🙂.   Interloper is cruel..

If you leave it behind, it will never be a strong skill  

I usually don’t find much in the way of shells, one or two.  But I save it for bears only.  Bow for deer, stealth and tactics for wolves.
