FOUND THE REVOLVER

100+ days in from a play-through I started some time ago and I finally found the revolver after brushing through each area I have previously looted. In my case, I had a strong hunch at the Desolation Point area and indeed found my first revolver there by the church. Loads of rounds too on this area. Found some at the Lighthouse, trailer houses by the Hibernia Processing Plant and the Hibernia itself. So these could be possible spawn points.

So for those wondering if you need a fresh game to find the revolver since the update, the answer is no, apparently not. Try visiting areas you've previously looted and there's a chance that they have spawned there. ML, PV Farmstead are other areas you might want to look but I can't guarantee.

For anyone curious, I'm playing at Voyageur difficulty.
